Portuguese President António José Seguro has officially signed into law a bill banning face-concealing attire in public spaces, with the move seen targeting the full-face Islamic veils like the burqa and niqab.
Addressing the national debate, President Seguro framed the decision around human interaction, stating: “The face should be considered a central element of human identity and communication.”
However, the former Socialist Party leader acknowledged the controversial nature of the ban, recognizing it as a matter of significant cultural and social sensitivity.
The law was largely backed by the country’s right-wing politicians and labeled the “burqa law” by Portuguese media. It passed parliament in July with the votes of right-wing parties, with the left firmly in opposition.
The new legal framework strictly limits garments designed to hide one’s identity in public spaces. It also penalizes forcing individuals to cover their faces based on gender, religion, or age.
Violators face financial penalties ranging from €150 to €3,000. There are, however, some exceptions. Wearing items that cover the face, such as medical masks, professional/artistic gear, and extreme weather wear, are all examples of exceptions under the law.
In the first half of 2026 alcoholic beer sales fell by as much as 11.9 percent, and despite the sharp increase in non-alcoholic beer sales, this trend is unable to arrest the dramatically deepening economic downturn in the brewery industry, which supports 85,000 jobs, including in agriculture, logistics, bars, and catering.
The beer market has been falling continuously for eight years. Between 2018 and 2025, the market lost over 7.5 million hectoliters in beer sales, which corresponds to the annual production of three medium-sized breweries. In the first half of 2026, there is no sign of a rebound. According to data from the Polish Central Statistical Office, production of alcoholic beer fell by 11.9 percent compared to the same period last year.
“The first half of this year is not encouraging. An alcoholic beer sales decline of almost 12 percent shows how troubled the brewing industry is in Poland. There are several sources, primarily the global NoLo trend (no or low-alcohol) or the ‘Better for You’ trend, which are increasingly effectively translating into the consumption behavior of Poles. Economic issues are also important: beer is a very price-sensitive product, and its retail price has increased by over 40% in recent years,” says Bartłomiej Morzycki, general director of the Association of Brewing Industry Employers Browary Polskie.
In the first half of 2026 production sold of 0.0 percent alcohol beers increased by as much as 16.2 percent, and in June by as much as 30.1 percent year over year.
“Non-alcoholic beers are a daily choice for professionally active people, drivers and consumers who care about their health and consciously limit their alcohol consumption. They are increasingly choosing 0.0 percent products so as not to give up social rituals or the taste of beer itself. This is a pan-European trend that meets public health objectives,” said Bartłomiej Morzycki.
Breweries unprecedented regulatory and financial pressure
For almost a decade, breweries have consistently developed the 0.0 percent segment, investing in new technologies and innovative products. Variants without sugar and calories, enriched with vitamins and electrolytes, are appearing on the market. At the same time, research shows that non-alcoholic beer has a strong substitution effect, helping reduce alcohol consumption.
“Recent CBOS research has shown that almost one in four Poles has given up alcohol, and among those who consume alcohol, more than half also reach for non-alcoholic beer. The substitution effect makes this segment of social, health and economic importance. Therefore, in many European countries it is supported by the state as an effective element of alcohol consumption reduction policies,” said Bartłomiej Morzycki.
Meanwhile, several projects concerning the alcoholic beverages market are currently moving forward in Poland, which may hinder the further development of the non-alcoholic beer segment, including changes to the “Act on Upbringing in Sobriety and Counteracting Alcoholism,” as well as a proposal to abandon the current excise map. At the same time, the sugar tax in Poland might be expanded and the VAT for zero-income earners may also be increased.
“Never before has the brewing industry faced such a large number of simultaneous changes. Each of them individually affects the operating conditions and competitiveness of beer in the alcoholic beverage market, and their combined impact may threaten the stability of many sectors in the brewing industry value chain. Moreover, the proposed changes go against the grain of socially acceptable alcohol reduction policies,” said the general director of the Polish Breweries Association.
Risk to the entire economy
The brewing industry represents 85,000. jobs, including thousands of farms and Polish enterprises in related sectors. Beer production accounts for approximately 0.56 percent of Polish GDP and contributes billions of zlotys to public finances each year in taxes and contributions.
According to data from the Association of Brewing Industry Employers Browary Polskie, the industry uses approximately 400,000 tons of barley malt, 75,000 tons of other cereals, over 130 tons of alpha hop acids and approximately 30,000 tons of apples used to produce flavored beers. The reduction in production means lower orders for packaging manufacturers, logistics and transport companies, as well as lower turnover for retail and catering.
“Poles are drinking less and less alcohol. If we add sharp tax increases and further administrative restrictions to natural consumer changes, we risk halting positive health trends and deepening the crisis of the entire value chain. Today, we need a well-thought-out, common-sense and emotion-free economic policy towards our industry,” said Bartłomiej Morzycki while speaking on behalf of the brewing industry.
Mohamed L. is being released in France after just 4 years in detention, the same man who brutally murdered 40-year-old military doctor and father Alban Gervaise in front of his young children in 2022.
“It’s news that we’re trying to prepare for this early release after the murder, barely four years later. It’s news that is really hard to hear, that makes us really go back to our work of mourning for the children and me,” said Christelle Gervaise, the wife of Alban, in an interview with Legend TV.
“It’s true that it’s hard to imagine being able to be in the same city as him. It’s true that it’s quite unbearable for us.”
Mohamed L. is being released in France after just 4 years in detention, the same man who brutally murdered 40-year-old military doctor and father Alban Gervaise in front of his young children.
"It’s news that we’re trying to prepare for this early release after the murder,… pic.twitter.com/CdChf3u7A7
Alban was stabbed to death while waiting outside his children’s Catholic school to pick up his two sons, aged 3 and 7, while his 20-month-old daughter was inside his car, in Marseille in May 2022.
Now, the killer will enjoy partial release during evenings and weekends “at liberty.”
The mother, Christelle, is terrified, and the courts so far have refused to listen to her pleas to block Mohamed L. from being in the same city as her and her children.
“I find that it is an additional concern in our lives that we didn’t really need. And I had to announce to my children this early release. There is necessarily a feeling of injustice. How can he leave prison so early after the murder of their father? And then, yes, there is a great concern on the part of my children. That’s for sure.”
This clip is a condensed version of her full interview, but it showcases the horror a French family is facing, both from the murderer and from the French judicial system.
In the interview, Christelle describes the moment of disbelief and grief when she first learned her husband had been stabbed.
“This is not possible, this is not possible, what is happening,” she told herself.
But it did happen, just as it has happened to countless Europeans year after year. Upon arriving on scene, she is greeted with an empty car and no sign of her children.
“And in fact, I’m going to see a first policeman who is going to accompany me to see the principal this time, who reassures me, my children are safe inside the school, all three of them, but I learn from a policeman who comes that my husband is between life and death and has been transferred to the hospital for resuscitation,” she said.
Alban spent 17 days in a coma, where she tried to tell him over and over again that the children were not harmed and that they needed their father.
“And during those 17 days, I talked to him a lot and he … I hope he heard me. I will never know…. I kept repeating several times to Alban that our daughter is fine, that she is okay, that nothing happened at all. Because I imagine that as a father, for him, it was terrible to be attacked like that with a knife. And then to see that he was going to lose his consciousness. He must have felt it and imagined his daughter in danger.”
“I also tell him that he can’t leave, he can’t leave us. Our children are very small, and I need him, the children need him.”
Then, she describes the moment when she had to tell her young children that their father is gone.
“The death announcement to the children is something that I will never forget and I think it’s the hardest moment of my life, really.”
She was forced to sit her children down and let them know what happened to their father.
“So I told them that I had terrible news to tell them, but that unfortunately, their father had died the night before,” said Christelle.
Now, after the terrible ordeal of losing a father and a husband, the French court system is releasing their father’s killer with zero restrictions on him entering the same city as the family. While there is a direct contact ban, there is no guarantee they do not run into Mohamed L. on the street.
Mohamed L. never even faced a trial. Why? He smoked too much cannabis and had a “psychotic break.” The court experts confirmed this, and just like that, authorities deemed he could not be held criminally responsible. No trial and freedom after just four years.
“The fact that he is not imprisoned like a murderer for 15, 20 years in prison. It’s terrible for us. It’s terrible to know the violence Alban has suffered. And in addition, we must accept that after four years, his murderer is outside on evenings and weekends.”
“I am very worried, first of all, about the risk of recidivism. And then I find that for us, it is also a concern, since this person has the right to come to Marseille.”
She said that the authorities involved in the decision say Mohamed L. “must be able to benefit from it, he must have the necessary care.”
The murder already led the children to be forced from their own school. Now, they may have to leave their own city.
“My children have already had to change schools since it happened. They had to change friends. If, in addition, I tell them that we are leaving the city completely because the murderer and their father have the right to go where they want, I think that it is difficult to understand for them. I can’t help but say to myself, I don’t know where he is, I don’t know what he’s doing,” Christelle said.
She is fighting desperately with her lawyer to ensure this killer is no longer allowed in her city.
“The goal is that, is to have a measure that makes it forbidden for him to go to Marseille.”
“It is something that we carry on our shoulders with the children and that we will carry for a very long time.”
After his arrest, while held at Baumettes prison, he attempted to assault a guard, which contributed to his transfer to a psychiatric unit for difficult patients (UMD). This occurred after the murder and presumably, cannabis was not a factor in this assault.
Shockingly, during the trial, one of the psychiatrists openly said that they cannot predict whether the murderer will “relapse.”
“The question of the risk of a relapse. One of the psychiatrists had answered that it was a bit like predicting a plane crash, that it was impossible to predict. Psychiatrists who take care of this type of patient do not have a crystal ball to be sure that there will be no relapse. And this risk is still to be taken into account in the decisions to allow this person to be in the street today,” she said.
In other words, psychiatric experts admit Mohamed L. may murder again, yet, he is being allowed out on evenings and weekends anyway.
Christelle still has questions about how the man was deemed psychologically unfit to stand trial.
She said that after passersby tackled Mohamed L., he screamed: “In the name of Allah, I gave him 30 stab wounds!”
In response, Christelle said: “I always ask myself the question of something that was more premeditated than what you want to make me believe… We are talking about someone who can kill someone in the street. My husband only lasted a few moments. It’s not a fight, it’s a murder.”
“You think he’s going to go to prison. It doesn’t happen as planned. In relation to the trajectory of the murder of my husband,” she added.
“What is complicated, in fact, with this decision, is that we have no idea of the deadline. We don’t know how long he’s going to stay at the hospital in a closed unit. We don’t know how to answer this question. And despite everything, we can still hear that it is difficult to announce to his children that the murder of their father is not condemned to prison, but will have care for an undetermined duration. I also felt deprived of answers to certain questions,” she said.
Regardless, three children are now missing a loving father, with Alban’s wife describing a happy home life before his murder: “We had a life with Alban who was quite classic and very happy. We met in 2009. I was a medical student and he was an intern. We got engaged and then we got married. We had three children. We moved several times because Alban was a military doctor. So we met in Lorraine. Then we went to Paris for his work. Then to Marseille in July 2021. And we really had a very happy family life because Alban was a very loving husband, very loved and a father really present for his children and very invested in his role as a father.”
During a marital argument, a 69-year-old Tunisian, Mohamed Habib Rouissi, allegedly murdered his 50-year-old Polish wife, Joanna Rouissi, by stabbing her four times in the throat in the town of Colleferro near Rome.
During the argument and murder on Aug. 18, their nine-year-old son witnessed the brutal murder of his mother, and the couple’s eldest son, 20, was also in the apartment and was unable to stop his father.
After killing Joanna, her husband reportedly dropped the knife and fled the scene. The daughter, who returned home moments later, found her younger brother terrified and her mother dying. Despite the intervention of the paramedics and attempts at resuscitation, the victim died at the scene, according to Italian newspaper il Fatto Quotidiano.
As part of the immediate operational activities undertaken, police officers from the Colleferro police station detained Mohamed Habib several hundred meters from the murder scene. The man did not resist and confessed to the crime during questioning.
The Velletri prosecutor’s office is conducting an investigation into the murder, determining the exact course of events and the perpetrator’s motives.
The mayor of the town has also spoken out.
“From what we can understand, the lady was quite well known in the area and by some families of Colleferro. From what emerges, there were some signs of this situation which, however, evidently escaped authorities’ attention or were not considered so dangerous,” said the mayor of Colleferro, Giulio Calamita, while speaking to LaPresse. “This is the first femicide our city has seen in its modern history. A man, reportedly with mental problems, killed his partner. This is yet another tragedy after a difficult week, terrible news that has shaken a family of five children, one of whom is a minor. In these hours, we have given them as much support as we could and will continue to do so in the coming days. I’m sure the city will also find a way to react to this bad story.”
Investigators are also checking whether the family has previously reported cases of domestic violence. According to preliminary findings, tensions had been brewing between the spouses for some time. The couple’s five children were placed in a care facility.
“Blueapples” writing on X and also on his Substack page, Ashes for Acacia, reported how Trump’s second wife, Marla Maples, states that Trump followed Kabbalistic teachings, and even kept an Aramaic copy of the Book of Pinchas under his clothing.
If you want to understand the true reasons behind why the U.S. started a war with Iran, you need to understand the influence of the Jewish Kabbalah cult, and its influence over President Trump and many Zionists.
I covered the Kabbalah last year, with Ben Born Again’s documentary about it. It has since been removed from YouTube, but I had a backup copy and restored it in last year’s article, which you can watch here:
Although President Donald J. Trump declared his longstanding affinity for the Jewish people and State of Israel far before he entered into the political arena, his entrenchment with Zionism has become the defining feature of his second term in the Oval Office.
That position has also become the focal point for criticism of the second Trump administration, as critics — many of whom were once his most loyal supporters — have come to question whether the president is intent on putting America or Israel first.
That doubt has raised questions that transcend far beyond political concerns into deeper, more philosophical and spiritual realms.
One glaring red flag that perfectly distills those questions was observed on the date of Trump’s second inauguration, when he elected not to place his hand upon the Bible when he was sworn in as president.
Donald Trump takes the oath for the President of the United States on January 20, 2025, without placing his hand on either of the two Bibles that Melania Trump was holding.
According to an interview with Israeli media, Trump’s former mistress turned ex-wife revealed that decision may have been made because the president keeps another holy book closer to his heart.
Marla Maples, Trump’s second wife, told Israeli Channel 12 news that the president keeps an Aramaic copy of the Book of Pinchas under his clothing close to his heart for “healing and protection.”
The portion of the Book of Numbers (specifically, Numbers 25:10-30:1) is distributed among Kabbalistic sects in the Aramaic text Maples referred to Trump’s copy being as an apotropaic talisman. Centered on the biblical figure Pinchas, the son of Eleazar and grandson of the High Priest Aaron, the book is a highly revered section from the Zohar, the foundational text of the preeminent branch of Jewish mysticism known as Kabbalah.
In her interview with Channel 12, Maples described her own deep affinity for Judaism, its mystical elements such as Kabbalah, and the State of Israel, despite maintaining the outward appearance of a Christian identity. The experiences and practices that Maples detailed from her own life drew stark parallels with that of Trump and his family’s, including maintaining a kosher diet, reciting the Shema as a declaration of the Jewish faith, visiting the graves of exalted Jewish religious figures, observing the Sabbath, and frequently visiting Israel.
When recounting the ties to Judaism she has maintained for decades, Maples made note of visiting the city of Safed in northern Israel. In addition to being one of Judaism’s Four Holy Cities — alongside Jerusalem, Hebron, and Tiberias — Safed is the historical center of Kabbalah. Its status as the epicenter of Kabbalah arose during the 16th century, when it became home to central figures of the branch of Jewish mysticism like Moses Cordovero and, most notably, Isaac Luria, the father of its contemporary practice, which has become known as Lurianic Kabbalah. Luria’s influence on Kabbalah was so profound that he became known as “Arizal,” which in Hebrew translates to “Lion of God,” based on the Hebrew words “El” (meaning God) and “Ari” (meaning lion).
Following his death in 1572, Luria was buried in the Safed Old Jewish Cemetery on the lower hillside of the city. His grave has since become a major pilgrimage site for Kabbalists.
Trump’s ex-wife is not the only figure in his life who maintains reverence for Kabbalah.
Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, who has held various high-ranking advisory roles in each of his presidential administrations, is a member of the Haredi sect of Judaism known as Chabad-Lubavitch.
Chabad arose as a Hasidic dynasty in 1775 by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi in Liozno, then part of the Russian Empire. The sect is inherently Kabbalistic, taking its name from an acronym representing the first three Sephirot of the Tree of Life: Chokmah, Binah, and Da’at.
Ivanka Trump, the president’s oldest daughter, converted to Judaism in order to marry Kushner and regularly attends Chabad-run congregations as a practicing Jew. She has also regularly been seen adorned with a red string bracelet on her wrist, another popular apotropaic talisman worn by Kabbalists.
Maples detailed how Ivanka Trump’s conversion was a monumental force in further immersing the president into world Jewry, which she expressed has helped shape her ex-husband’s spiritual and consequently political identity. The influence of that immersion into Judaism has been echoed by fervent ultra-Zionist supporters of Trump, such as political commentator Mark Levin, who has referred to Trump as the U.S. “first Jewish president” on multiple occasions.
Trump himself reinforced that image by making his undying commitment to Israel and the Jewish people explicit, wasting no opportunity to reiterate it during his second term as president.
That commitment has come to undermine Trump’s second term, which continues to be mired by its war with Iran, which senior officials in his administration have consistently justified as necessary to defending Israel and maintaining the U.S. allegiance with the Jewish state.
Prioritizing that relationship has led to upheaval among Trump’s supporters, who have come to mock his presidency as being Israel First instead of following through on the America First platform it built itself upon.
That growing disdain has become amplified by the continued presence of Kushner within his administration, whose overt identity as a member of Chabad and an unflinching ally of Israel has raised further questions behind the motives driving the work in his role as an informal special envoy in deliberations between the U.S. and Iran.
Two different sexual assault targeting young female minors occurred nearly at the same time on Saturday in swimming pools in close proximity to one another, with one of the suspects still on the run.
At around 3:45 p.m., a dark-skinned male was arrested for sexually assaulting two 11-year-old girls at an outdoor swimming pool in the German city of Untersteinbach. The man allegedly touched their thighs and legs in the water, with pool staff moving in to detain the man until police arrived.
Police have not released the man’s nationality, but he was described in the police report as 100 kilograms, or 220 pounds. Furthermore, they said the man was a 37-year-old with dark skin and was 1.83 meters tall, or 6 feet tall. He has black, curly hair and a “high forehead,” according to the Tag24 news outlet, according to Tag24 news outlet.
Authorities are still searching for witnesses and do not rule out that other victims could come forward.
A German woman says "it's a disaster" for women in swimming pools across Germany. She now dreams of her childhood before a certain "clientele" made German swimming pools "just awful."
Almost at the exact same time, a similar sexual assault at yet another German swimming pool occurred at the outdoor swimming pool at Rendelstraße in Öhringen. There, a “tan-skinned” perpetrator sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl, groping her buttocks and grabbing her stomach three separate times in the water.
She told police the suspect had “tan” skin, short black hair, dark eyes, tall, is between 40 and 50 years old, and had a face with distinct wrinkles. He was dressed in black with a black bathing suit.
The man was with a group of five to six other men at the time.
As we follow the story about the life of Jesus Christ in John’s gospel written in the New Testament portion of the Bible, we come to a very interesting passage in John chapter 7 which documents how the brothers of Jesus Christ turned against him, and mocked him.
To understand the events of chapter 7, however, we need to first look at what happened in chapter 6, where Jesus was addressing a huge crowd of over 5000 people, and miraculously turned “five small barley loaves and two small fish” into enough food to feed everyone, with plenty left over.
Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick.
Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Feast was near.
When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip,
“Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?”
He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. Philip answered him,
“Eight months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”
Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up,
“Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”
Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”
There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them.
Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples,
“Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”
So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say,
“Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself. (John 6:1-15)
As John writes at the beginning of this chapter, the news about Jesus was now starting to spread fast, because he literally healed everyone who came to him.
And now, with this miraculous way of multiplying food to feed the masses, they wanted to make him king over Israel.
But Jesus’s kingdom was not of this world. Satan offered it to him, but he refused.
So Jesus had to literally hide from the masses who actually liked him, but for selfish reasons. But Jesus’s problems with his new-found fame were only beginning.
Eventually the crowd found him, which led to Jesus’s next encounter with them later on in chapter 6. Jesus made it clear that he was not like Moses, who gave their forefathers “manna”, bread from heaven, so that the nation could live in the desert for 40 years.
Jesus tried to teach them the difference between physical food and spiritual food, while also prophesying about his own execution which would result in his body being killed, and his blood being spilled into the earth.
Once the crowd understood that there were no more free lunches coming, most of them abandoned him.
At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said,
“I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
They said,
“Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, “I came down from heaven’?”
“Stop grumbling among yourselves,”
Jesus answered.
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’
Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.
I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.
I am the bread of life. Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died.
But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.
This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves,
“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
Jesus said to them,
“I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever.”
He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. On hearing it, many of his disciples said,
“This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”
Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them,
“Does this offend you? What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before!
The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.
The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe.”
For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.
He went on to say,
“This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him.”
From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. (John 6:41-66)
Jesus’s problems were just beginning. Not only did he lose most of his disciples, the ruling Jews also saw him as a threat, probably due to the way he could draw such large crowds through his miracles, and they began to plot his murder, as chapter 7 begins.
After this, Jesus went around in Galilee, purposely staying away from Judea because the Jews there were waiting to take his life. (John 7:1)
Were members of Jesus’s family among the disciples who stopped following him and turned against him?
The text does not say, but what follows gives us some insights into his “family” who began to oppose him.
Now, as I wrote last week, the English word for “family”, which today means mostly a “nuclear family” of a father, mother, and their children, is a concept that did not exist in biblical times. See:
Jesus probably belonged to a large household that revolved around the family business as “craftsmen”, probably stone masons and carpentry.
That household probably included blood siblings of Jesus, but most likely others who were also part of the business.
So when his “brothers” oppose him in the text, it is very possible that they were more than just his biological siblings. “Brothers” was also a term that Jesus used for his disciples, none of whom were his blood relatives.
But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, Jesus’ brothers said to him,
“You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do. No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”
For even his own brothers did not believe in him. (John 7:2-5)
Jesus’s goal was clearly NOT to become a “public figure.” This is why he hid himself from the crowds when they tried to force him to become king.
And when he had to hide himself from the Jews who were trying to kill him, his own family criticized him for hiding.
Here is how Jesus responded to their criticisms:
Therefore Jesus told them,
“The right time for me has not yet come; for you any time is right.
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil.
You go to the Feast. I am not yet going up to this Feast, because for me the right time has not yet come.”
Having said this, he stayed in Galilee. (John 7:6-9)
Jesus explained a very important principle here for himself, and his true disciples. The world loves its own, and as long as you do the things that are approved by the world, which, by the way, includes the Christian religion today, then the world accepts you and protects you.
But if instead you expose the evil of the world, which I have done for decades now, such as exposing the pedophiles and sex traffickers within Christianity, both the pedo Priests in the Catholic Church and the pedophiles also among pastors in the non-Catholic churches (Mormons, Protestants, Evangelicals, etc.), then they will hate you and seek to destroy you.
For much of my life I have had to live in anonymity, because powerful people have wanted to destroy me, and lock me up, even in recent times.
My family thinks I am crazy for not using the same methods of communication that they do, such as cell phones, the “free” emails like Gmail, Yahoo, and others, which take all of your communications and add them into their huge databases that power their AI models.
It’s a difficult and hard life, as Christians and family members attack you and criticize you for not being part of the “community” that Christians insist everyone has to belong to.
But I take great comfort in knowing that the world treated Jesus the exact same way, because he exposed their evil deeds.
So when the right time did come, Jesus traveled to Jerusalem in secret, and confronted the crowds. He states a very important principle about those who serve Satan by bowing to the world system, and those who oppose Satan and suffer for it.
However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.
Now at the Feast the Jews were watching for him and asking,
“Where is that man?”
Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said,
“He is a good man.”
Others replied,
“No, he deceives the people.”
But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the Jews.
Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.
The Jews were amazed and asked,
“How did this man get such learning without having studied?”
Jesus answered,
“My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.
If anyone chooses to do God’s will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.” (John 7:10-18)
Who are the ones who are people of truth, and who are those who oppose the truth?
I highlighted the word “false” in the passage above, which is the opposite of “truth.”
The Greek word is ἀδικία (adikia), which occurs 25 times in the New Testament, with the most common translation being “unrighteousness”, at least in the older English translations, but it is also translated as “wickedness” and “injustice.”
It is primarily a legal term.
This is the entry in Thayer’s Greek Definitions:
1) injustice, of a judge
2) unrighteousness of heart and life
3) a deed violating law and justice, act of unrighteousness
Is this not exactly what we are seeing in the world today in “modern” society?
Those who, like Jesus said, are seeking “to gain honor for himself” will pervert justice to try and gain benefits for themselves.
But those who seek to honor God and expose injustice, are people of truth, who are then attacked by those whose evil deeds are being exposed by that truth.
This is the spiritual food that Jesus was talking about in John chapter 6: a hunger and thirst for righteousness, opposing injustice.
The day is coming where our hunger and thirst for justice will be fulfilled.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. (Matthew 5:6)
The headlines in the corporate news the past couple of days regarding an Executive “Order” that Trump signed regarding the current vaccine schedule made it sound like the world was coming to an end, due to Trump’s vaccine “order” that they claimed would bring back childhood diseases that are believed to have been eradicated by vaccines.
Here are some sample headlines from the past couple of days:
If these headlines were actually publishing the truth, this would actually be great news for those who oppose vaccines.
But I have learned that anytime something is published in the corporate media about a presidential “Executive Order” (EO), the best thing to do first is to look up the actual EO to see what it actually says.
I knew right away, for example, that these headlines could NOT be true, because the office of the President of the United States cannot dictate vaccine policy, and, in fact, there are no alternatives to the 3-vaccine combo of the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine, and it is impossible to get them individually, EO or not, because the drug companies do not even make them.
Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Delivers Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations for Americans
DELIVERING GOLD STANDARD CHILDHOOD VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to recognize Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations that maximize parental choices over vaccinations for their children and align three categories of childhood immunizations with scientific evidence and best practices from peer, developed countries.
The Order provides recommendations that give parents more information and options when making immunization decisions for their children.
The Order recommends all children get immunizations to provide protection for 11 diseases – a decrease from the 18 diseases recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2024. Immunizations no longer recommended for all children are now recommended for shared clinical decision-making, ensuring that parents have all options available to them.
The Order recommends separating out the combined MMR vaccine into three single-disease shots and recommends administering all vaccines during separate medical visits to give parents more options regarding the timing and frequency of this vaccine administration.
States that enact school vaccine requirements are advised to consider the Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations and consider updating their laws to reflect the recommendations.
All Federal agencies are advised to advance the Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations based on their relevant authorities to ensure Americans have the best scientific information.
It is quite evident that this “order” orders NOTHING. It is simply a document with “recommendations.”
How can an Executive Order order recommendations??
I have no idea.
As I have repeatedly published over the past decade or so, the President of the United States has no authority over vaccine policies.
It is a State issue, and the enforcement of vaccine policy published by the CDC is by State and local health departments.
The only President that I am aware of who tried to mandate vaccine policy from the White House, was President Joe Biden, who tried to order OSHA to mandate the COVID vaccines at the national level to all federal government workers.
Of all of the vaccine mandates implemented during the COVID scam, this EO by Biden is the only COVID vaccine mandate that was shot down by the U.S. Supreme Court, as the Supreme Court upheld EVERY OTHER COVID VACCINE MANDATE implemented, such as for healthcare workers, university students, military members, etc.
But the U.S. Supreme Court was not willing to give that power to the President of the United States.
So there is no “order” implemented by Trump.
Many States were quick to reply that they were NOT taking Trump’s recommendations, and that the childhood vaccine schedule would remain unchanged.
As to “ordering” the pharmaceutical industry to provide three separate vaccines to replace Merck’s blockbuster MMR vaccine, that will never happen.
Trump wants to split the MMR vaccine. Experts say that’s unlikely
Excerpts:
President Donald Trump’s latest executive order calls for splitting the measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine into three separate shots – but doctors and other experts say that effort has no scientific basis and is unlikely to get off the ground.
Manufacturers of the MMR vaccine – Merck and GSK – seem to have little incentive to develop standalone shots, which would take significant time and resources away from their other crucial work toward treating and finding cures to other diseases. Those vaccines would likely reach the market long after Trump’s term ends.
“I don’t see any world in which vaccine manufacturers have any interest in developing and going through the rigorous regulatory process, getting FDA approval, doing the trials for monovalent measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines,” said Moss.
“It would be a foolish investment to make.”
AAP’s Racine also said that it would likely take more than a decade to develop those standalone shots.
This show at the White House earlier this week was probably just a campaign stunt heading into the midterm election cycle. I have already seen Republican ads targeting “liberals” by claiming “Trump kept his promises”.
That’s a hard sell, even among Republicans, many of whom are dropping out of the Republican party (like Marjorie Taylor Greene) due to Trump’s failed promise of not starting any new wars, which the current war in Iran proves is a broken promise.
The former Epstein associate and heroine drug addict, and life long liberal, pro-abortion Democrat, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was specifically recruited by Trump to bring in the “anti-vax” voters, whom they clearly fear losing support from heading into the midterm elections in November.
So now the Trump Republicans can claim that Trump “kept his promise” to change the CDC vaccine schedule and get rid of the MMR vaccine.
But, he actually did not.
He just hosted a campaign event at the White House to try and convince people that he kept his promise on changing CDC vaccine policy.
Trump is responsible for murdering more children and adults through toxic vaccines than anyone else in American history, with his Operation Warp Speed military campaign and the experimental COVID shots.
He should be tried for war crimes, and sedition, NOT passing out fake recommendations under the guise of an “Executive Order”, a full blown propaganda campaign that the corporate media was all too happy to comply with.
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (Matthew 7:21-23)
The English word “family” has a very specific, and very narrow meaning in modern English.
If someone asks you, for example, “How’s your family?”, it is generally understood two ways, depending on whether or not you are married and have your own children.
It either means you and your spouse, along with any children you have, or it means you and your parents, and any siblings that you have.
However, such a concept of “family” only started in 15th Century in Europe, more than 1400 years after the Bible was written.
Here is the entry for “family” from the website etymonline.com, which traces the history of English words (emphasis mine):
family (n.)
early 15c., “servants of a household,” from Latin familia “family servants, domestics collectively, the servants in a household,” thus also “members of a household, the estate, property; the household, including relatives and servants,” abstract noun formed from famulus “servant, slave,” which is of unknown origin.
The Latin word rarely appears in the sense “parents with their children,” for which domus (see domestic (adj.)) was used.
Derivatives of famulus include famula “serving woman, maid,” famulanter “in the manner of a servant,” famulitas “servitude,” familiaris “of one’s household, private,” familiaricus “of household slaves,” familiaritas “close friendship.”In English, sense of “collective body of persons who form one household under one head and one domestic government, including parents, children, and servants, and as sometimes used even lodgers or boarders” [Century Dictionary, 1889] is attested by 1540s.It is attested from 1660s as “parents with their children, whether they dwell together or not,” also in a more general sense, “persons closely related by blood, including aunts, uncles, cousins;” earlier “those who descend from a common progenitor, a house, a lineage” (1580s).
Hence, “any group of things classed as kindred based on common distinguishing characteristics” (1620s); as a scientific classification, between genus and order, from 1753.
Latin familia often was glossed in Old English by hired, hyred “household, family, retinue” (for which see hide (n.2), and also by hiwscipe, hiwræden, hiwan “members of a family, household, or religious house,” which is cognate with Old Norse hjon “one of the household; married couple, man and wife; domestic servant,” and with Old High German hiwo “husband,” hiwa “wife,” also with Lithuanian šeimyna “family,” Gothic haims “village,” Old English ham “village, home” (see home (n.)). A 15c. glossary has, for Latin familia, Middle English a menge, from Anglo-French maisnie “the household, the whole attendance upon the personal establishment of the feudal lord.”
As we can see from the historical uses of the English word “family,” its original meaning went far beyond what is today referred to as “the nuclear family” consisting of only parents and their children.
Before the “Industrial Age” and the “Age of Enlightenment” and the “Protestant Reformation” in Europe, the term “family” was more broadly understood in terms of location and “estates”, and included more than just those with a biological relationship, but also included slaves and other humans who were part of that “estate”, or “household” but not necessarily biologically related to each other.
Therefore, when you see the English word “family” used to translate certain passages in the New Testament which was written in Koine Greek, you need to understand that the choice of the translators to use “family” is 100% subjective, as there is no underlying Greek word that means “family” in the modern sense.
This is easily seen by doing searches in the English Bibles today, where the older English language translations seldom used “family” at all, but the more modern English translations use it quite a bit.
For example, in the old “King James Version” (KJV), it is only used once.
The single occurrence of the word “family” in the KJV is significant, in Ephesians 3:15.
Here is the verse in the context of the chapter:
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:1-19)
The reason why the word “family” is significant here, is because it clearly refers to ALL created beings created by God, both “in heaven and earth”, which derive their “name”, or “identity”, from their Creator, God, whose most common name used in the Scriptures, is “Father.”
Within this context, Paul is clearly stating the Gospel message, which is that through Jesus Christ, everyone now has access to the “Family of God,” including Gentiles (non-Jewish people), regardless of whatever earthly “family” one belongs to.
In the older New American Standard Bible (NASB), the word “family” is only used 6 times, including Ephesians chapter 3.
In the “newer” 1984 “New International Version” (NIV84), it is used 22 times.
When you read the “names” of people in the Bible, both in the Old Testament as well as in the New Testament, you clearly see that there were no “last names” or “surnames.”
People were identified from the household/family they came from, such as “son of [fill in the blank]”.
So this transition of the modern concept of “family” closely follows the Western concept and history of “surnames” or “last names” during the same time period.
History of English Surnames
Have you ever wondered where your surname comes from? Or how surnames evolved? In England surnames weren’t widely used until…
Excerpts:
Have you ever wondered where your surname comes from? Or when people start using surnames (last names) and why?
In England, surnames are also commonly known as last names due to the practice of writing the given names first and then the family name or surname last.
Historians generally agree that in 1000 AD England about 10% of the population were slaves, the rest were unfree. By unfree, the ‘great unwashed’ were either villeins, bordars and cottars², or serfs of varying status, all bound to the land by their lords and masters. Most people moved so little that they needed only a first name to identify themselves. Even among the knightly class, hereditary surnames were rare.
Surnames weren’t widely used until after the Norman Conquest in 1066. As the country’s population grew and to allow the new King William I to extract the relevant taxation, it became necessary to distinguish between people and so names began to include descriptions of the person, such as Thomas son of John, Peter the Baker, Richard the Whitehead, Mary Webster, etc. These descriptions would grow to form the surnames we recognise today.
To begin with, surnames were fluid and changed over time, or as a person changed his job. For example, John Blacksmith might become John Farrier as his trade developed.
The introduction of parish registers in 1538 helped establish the idea of hereditary surnames. However it was still common in some parts of the country to find a person entered under one surname at baptism, married under another name and then buried under a third.
Today there are perhaps as many as 45,000 different English surnames, derived from all kinds of sources: nicknames, physical attributes, trades, place names etc.
So every time you see the English word “family” in the Bible, if you want to truly understand what the original text written in Greek is communicating with that English word that someone chose thousands of years after the Bible was written, it is helpful to use an electronic Bible program like eSword, to see what the actual Greek words are in the original text.
Let’s look at a passage in the New Testament from the Gospel of Mark that I have quoted in some of my articles, about the “family” of Jesus, and then look at what the underlying Greek words actually are.
Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.
When his family heard about this, they went to seize him, for they said,
“He is out of his mind.”
Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him.
A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him,
“Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
“Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.
Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said,
“Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mark chapter 3)
This is quoted from the NIV84 translation. And even within the context of this chapter, we can clearly see how Jesus understood the context of “family”, and that it went far beyond biological “family” members who are identified here as “mother and brothers”, and extended to his disciples, of whom he gave preference, in at least this incident, over his biological family members.
If we look at some other translations of this verse in Mark 3, which is verse 21, we begin to get an idea of what was actually being communicated here:
And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. (Mark 3:21 KJV)
And when His own people heard about this, they came out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, “He has lost His senses.” (Mark 3:21 NASB)
So it is very likely that more people than just Jesus’s “mother and brothers” came to him at this time, and could have included other people in his “household”.
There are actually two underlining Greek words used here: παρά (para) – from, of at, by, besides, near – and αὐτός (autos) – himself, herself, themselves, itself.
Personally, I think the NASB is the closest to the original, “his own people.”
We know that Jesus was not born into a household that was considered “slaves” or “servants,” as his mother’s first husband, Joseph, was a tradesman, and ran his own business, which could have included quite a few people.
Was Jesus’s behavior of constantly going against the cultural norms, and even daring to oppose the religious leaders of this day, becoming an economic drain on their “family business”??
As I have previously published, the most common understanding and translation of the “trade” or “craft” that the household of Jesus’s family practiced, is “carpenter.”
But the actual Greek word used, tektōn, which is a word group in the Greek that gives us English words today such as “technology”, could also be translated as “mason”, a worker of stone, and not just wood.
Here is what I have previously published on this:
Next, let’s look at the English word “craftsmen” that is used here to refer to Demetrius and the others (Acts 19).
The word in the original Greek texts is τεχνίτης – technitēs.
This is the word group that we get our English words “tech”, “technology”, “technologists”, etc. from.
In classical secular Greek, it meant “craftsman or builder in wood, stone, or metal“.
It is also used in the Greek translation of the Old Testament, such as in this verse describing the building of Solomon’s temple:
You have many workmen: stonecutters, masons and carpenters, as well as men skilled in every kind of work.
(1 Chronicles 22:15)
Another Greek word from this word group in Greek is tektōn, which is used of Jesus in Mark 6:3:
Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. (Mark 6:3)
All the English translations I have, which is over a dozen, including the KJV, ALL translate this word as “carpenter.”
This is what the New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology by Collin Brown, Volume 1 published in 1967 (originally published in German), on page 279 states regarding tektōn:
tektōn appears only in the identification of Jesus by the people of Nazareth as “the carpenter” (Mark 6:3), “the carpenter’s son” (Matthew 13:33).
Though “carpenter” is the common rendering here, tektōn could equally mean “mason” or “smith” (as indeed some of the Fathers took it) or it could mean that Joseph and Jesus were builders, so that both carpentry and masonry would have been among their skills.
This was a new revelation to me as I studied Acts 19 today in preparation for writing this article, and the Holy Spirit prompted me to look up the original word in the original texts for “craftsmen”.
And of course it makes a lot of sense and correlates with many other passages in the Bible that refer to Jesus as a builder of stone.
Jesus is also referred to as the “cornerstone.”
As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and
“A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:4-9)
So should we really be calling Jesus a “carpenter” or a “mason”?
I did a search to see if there were others who had studied and discovered this, and of course there are.
Here is one video I found that confirms this. Note: I don’t know the person in this video and I know nothing about his other teachings, just what he describes in this video which confirms my own study on this.
Hopefully by now everyone who is reading this can see the difficulties in the English translations of the Bible, which was written in Middle Eastern culture, and not Western Culture, and there are many problems with these translations, especially with an English word like “family”.
And many of the English words that were originally chosen by King Jimmy in England, in the “authorized” version, were politically motivated, as I have pointed out in other articles I have written over the years, words like “church” and “pastor” which are wrongly used intentionally so that the King could establish his religious authority during the “Reformation Period” and even challenge the authority of the “Pope” in the Catholic Church.
Two English words, for example, that are used throughout the Bible that do not exist in the original texts, are “wife” and “husband”, which I exposed in the article I wrote about sex and marriage. See:
The Greek words are the words simply for “man” and “woman”, and the context defines whether those words are used in the contract of “marriage” or not, which in the ancient world was considered a binding contract between two “families” (households).
One of the most mis-interpreted sayings of Jesus, in my opinion, is when he told his disciples to call no man on earth “father”, a “family” term.
Here is the full context, which deals with the religious leaders of his day (Pharisees and Scribes)
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, saying:
“The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses. Therefore, whatever they tell you, do and comply with it all, but do not do as they do; for they say things and do not do them.
And they tie up heavy burdens and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as their finger.
And they do all their deeds to be noticed by other people; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.
And they love the place of honor at banquets, and the seats of honor in the synagogues, and personal greetings in the marketplaces, and being called Rabbi by the people.
But as for you, do not be called Rabbi; for only One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters.
And do not call anyone on earth your father; for only One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
And do not be called leaders; for only One is your Leader, that is, Christ.
But the greatest of you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.” (Matthew 23:1-12)
Jesus was speaking to his Jewish audience, and specifically criticizing the Jewish leaders of his day. These Jewish leaders who opposed and killed Jesus, claimed superiority over Jesus because they claimed Abraham was their “father.”
Jesus made it clear that they did not recognize the true “father” of Abraham, and instead followed their actual “father”, the Devil.
So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him,
“If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
They answered Him,
“We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”
Jesus answered them,
“Truly, truly I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. Now the slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.
So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free. I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you are seeking to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
I speak of the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.”
They answered and said to Him,
“Abraham is our father.”
Jesus said to them,
“If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.
But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. You are doing the deeds of your father.”
They said to Him,
“We were not born as a result of sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.”
Jesus said to them,
“If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I came forth from God and am here; for I have not even come on My own, but He sent Me.
Why do you not understand what I am saying?
It is because you cannot listen to My word.
You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him.
Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.”
(John 8:31-44)
So when Jesus told his disciples to “not call anyone on earth your father”, the Jewish culture and how they viewed Abraham as their “father” has to be understood in this context.
Jesus refers to two “fathers” in John chapter 8: God the Father who is the creator of heaven and earth, and Satan, or “the devil”, as the “father” of those on earth who do not acknowledge God the Father and are therefore not part of his “family” or “household.”
Slaves or Freemen – The Household of God and the Children of Satan
One of the main things that the Satanic Jews (Zionists) have done in modern, Western culture, is redefine “family” to mean the “nuclear family” of parents and their children, but only 2-3 children because more is considered “irresponsible” in modern Western culture.
The nuclear family is the bedrock of modern Western culture, and the infamous “Middle Class,” is simply a kinder, and gentler version of “slavery.”
The “Middle Class” that arose in the United States, especially after World War II, is what has fueled tremendous economic gain for the ruling classes through the present times.
Only the rich have large “households” in the true, historical sense of the word and concept of “family,” because it reaches far beyond biological nuclear families, and extends around the world where the goods sold and bought in the U.S. have been largely produced by the economic lower classes outside of the U.S. in places like Asia, and especially China, until recent times where China now has its own “Middle Class” and is quickly overtaking the U.S. as the economic center of the world.
Rich billionaires, like Elon Musk and Telegram founder Pavel Durov, have fathered hundreds of children through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), and their technology platforms are responsible for a large part of the child sex trafficking networks.
These are the kinds of “families” that run the world today, serving their “father” the Devil.
The illusion of the mostly White, Conservative Christian families in the Middle Class is that they actually believe that they are “free”, as they put in their 9-5 work days 5 times a week, and believe that they can actually own things, like a car, a house, etc.
But everything the Satanic system allows them to purchase and “own” can easily be taken away through government actions, if they do not fulfill their duties to the State as busy worker bees, or to use the term mostly used throughout the history of mankind, SLAVES.
The small, Middle Class nuclear family is the economic model of slavery today, as their labor performs what is necessary to keep the Satanic system running.
Their lifespans are carefully calculated by the insurance companies to ensure maximum profits, which can be adjusted by mass population events such as a fake “pandemic” and new, “lifesaving” drugs and vaccines that they line up to take, believing their slave masters.
The number of children born to them has been carefully controlled for decades to be about 2 to 2.5 per “family”, so as to not overburden the system with the education and health care costs to take care of the children from the Middle Class slaves.
And if you are not from the White, Conservative Christian majority, but from the minority classes, your chances of having your children kidnapped from you and given to the rich is exponentially higher, as is your chance of being killed by the system because they are dependent upon government “health” care.
I have much more to write on this topic, but it has already become a long article that probably very few will read, and even fewer will understand.
But this is the conclusion: You either belong to the “family” of God, where God is your Father and Jesus is your brother, or you belong to the world system ruled by your father Satan.
God only has one biological family member: The “One and Only” (or some translations “begotten”) Son of God, Jesus Christ.
The rest of us are born into Satan’s kingdom, and the only way out of his family is to be adopted into God’s.
I am writing this and delivering this true message to the public today as an adopted son of God, and co-heir of the inheritance to come through Jesus Christ.
Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.
For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.
And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. (Romans 8:12-19)
Last year (2025) I reported how there were hundreds of thousands of jobs unfilled to support the boom in data center construction, jobs that only human beings can fulfill. See:
Today, in August of 2026, the situation has only become worse as massive amounts of money continue to be increasingly spent on AI and data centers, while the human labor force continues to diminish.
This is all public knowledge, but it is not in the headlines or known much because people are still getting fat and rich on the AI data center spending.
Earlier this year, a report was published by the U.S. Department of Education which stated that by 2030, an estimated 2.1 million skilled trades jobs in the U.S. could go unfilled, with potential economic losses reaching $1 trillion annually.
America’s ‘silent army’ of skilled tradespeople are retiring with no one to replace them—and the price tag could hit $1 trillion a year
The workers who keep America’s buildings running are disappearing—and the U.S. isn’t replacing them fast enough to keep the lights on, the servers cool, or the labs sterile.
By 2030, an estimated 2.1 million skilled trades jobs in the U.S. could go unfilled, with potential economic losses reaching $1 trillion annually, according to U.S. Department of Education estimates cited in a new report from JLL shared exclusively with Fortune.
The commercial real estate giant calls the electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipe fitters, and maintenance workers who maintain the country’s built environment a “silent army”—a workforce that is aging out of the industry faster than it can be replaced.
“The silent army, as we normally call them, because they are hidden, invariably, behind the scenes, has been getting harder and harder not only to find, but retain in the industry,” Paul Morgan, JLL’s global COO of real estate management services, told Fortune.
Plus, “you’ve got this impending retirement wave that has really been driving the industry a long period of time, and a lack of new entrants.”
Morgan is referring to the fact that millions of tradespeople in the U.S. are nearing or at retirement age. More than one in five construction workers is currently older than 55, according to Associated Builders and Contractors.
As of May 2023, about 39% of electricians were 45 years old or older, a Consumer Affairs report shows, and there’s a 5:2 retirement-to-replacement ratio in manufacturing, construction, and other skilled trades, an Education Department report shows.
The supply-demand imbalance has hit crisis territory. Last year alone, nearly 600,000 jobs were posted for major skilled trades positions in the U.S., while only about 150,000 new workers entered the labor pool through apprenticeship programs, according to JLL.
A hidden workforce behind the AI boom
The shortage has caught the attention of some of the country’s most prominent executives, who argue that the U.S. cannot build the infrastructure for AI it’s betting its economic future on without the people to wire, cool, and maintain it.
Ford CEO Jim Farley has consistently warned about the gap, arguing America’s AI ambitions are running headfirst into a labor wall.
“I think the intent is there, but there’s nothing to backfill the ambition,” Farley told Axios last fall.
“How can we reshore all this stuff if we don’t have people to work there?”
Hadrian CEO Chris Power, whose company automates defense manufacturing, has gone further, predicting a wage shock in the trades.
“All the white-collar jobs are going to get automated,” Power said in a recent interview with tech publication Sourcery at the Hill and Valley Forum.
“I think we’re going to see massive hyperinflation in blue-collar salaries.”
Power added that even with robotic welding on his own factory floor, he still can’t hire enough welders to meet demand from the U.S. Navy.
“Everyone, go tell your kids to quit college and university and go get a welding certification,” Power added.
“The country needs you.”
Morgan argues the skilled trades are foundational to nearly every high-growth sector of the economy—a story he says the industry has failed to tell.
But one problem is the lingering perception that blue-collar work isn’t as elite or prestigious as white-collar work.
“As powerful as AI will become, AI can’t climb a ladder to change the batteries in your smoke detector,” Lowe’s CEO Marvin Ellison told Fortune earlier this month.
“It can’t change your furnace filter; it can’t clean your dryer vent; it can’t repair a hole on your roof.”
Morgan also questioned:
“Why wouldn’t somebody want to be an HVAC tech or an electrician or refrigeration specialist in the data center industry?“
He added, “You can’t have AI without data centers supporting them.”
Then today, Fox News published an opinion piece (NOT headline news, as it should be!), admitting that electricity shortages are on the horizon for Americans, due to human labor shortages.
The machines that keep America alive are failing. We forgot how to replace them
We’ve finally admitted that electricity is as essential as water, but we did so too late to avoid disruption
For 20 years, electricity was the most boring business in America, and our industry built its whole infrastructure strategy around the assumption that things would stay that way.
The numbers tell the story. From 2010 to 2020, U.S. electricity consumption fell by roughly 1%. LEDs, efficient motors and tightening appliance standards quietly cancelled out the electricity used by every new subdivision, factory and data hall, and then some. Demand was flat, and planners treated this as a permanent fact of life rather than as what it actually was: an intermission.
No-growth industries make choices that are perfectly rational, yet corrosive. You don’t fund apprenticeships when there’s no new capacity to staff. You don’t keep spare metallurgical know-how on the payroll when nobody’s ordering. You don’t recruit ambitious 25-year-olds into a sector whose pitch is “stable, essential, and never going anywhere.”
So, the utilities didn’t. The transformer makers didn’t. The steel mills didn’t. The workforce aged in place and the labor pipeline behind it ran dry.
We mistook a flat line for stability and in doing so, allowed a slow decay to occur. Then the line broke.
Since 2020, electricity consumption has reversed two decades of decline and climbed about 7%. Demand for large power transformers, the equipment through which nearly all of America’s electricity passes at some point, has surged 116% since 2019. Data centers, reshoring, electrification and grid hardening all arrived in the same handful of years, descending on an industry that had bought into the idea that it would never grow again.
Facing resurgent demand, we went looking for the people and the parts to meet resurgent demand, and here is what we found: America had forgotten how to make pipes.
Roughly 80% of the large power transformers the United States installs are now imported.
The grain-oriented electrical steel at the heart of every one of them has but a single domestic producer. Lead times for a standard power transformer have stretched to nearly two and a half years, and the larger units that connect power plants to the grid run longer still.
Prices are up more than 77% since 2019. The average transformer already humming away on the American grid is 38 years old, and more than 70% of the fleet is past age 25.
We are simultaneously trying to replace an aging base and build an entirely new one with a supply chain we spent a generation hollowing out.
The hardware shortage gets the headlines. The human one is worse, because you can’t expedite it.
A person cannot, today, enroll anywhere in America to learn how to design or build a large power transformer. The handful of university power-engineering programs that survived the last two decades don’t teach it. They were shrinking before the boom began as students chased software and AI instead.
The knowledge to wind a coil, design a core or run a high-voltage acceptance test is tribal, passed hand-to-hand on a shop floor by master winders, test engineers or metallurgists who understand why a core behaves the way it does. The expertise lives in people, much of it never written down, and roughly half the utility workforce is now over 45 with a large share eligible to retire this decade.
You can stand up a new transformer factory in a couple of years. You cannot conjure an experienced winder in a couple of years, and you can’t enroll one either.
Not referenced in any of these reports, of course, is how so much of the human labor force in the U.S., including factory workers, have now been deported from the U.S. due to Trump’s immigration policies, and many of these people deported were even here legally and Green Card holders.
A total system collapse is inevitable.

Bravo to Kit Knightly of Off-Guardian for exposing the fake fear-mongering being published recently by Big Tech billionaires about how dangerous AI is, pretending that AI is now at a level to “go rogue” and start threatening humans.
This narrative clearly is setting up the possibility of a false flag event in the near future that will probably be blamed on mindless computer code, rather than blaming those who write and control the computer code.
It started two weeks ago, when OpenAI reported one of their “agents” had escaped its testing area and got loose on the internet to launch an “unprecedented cyber attack”.
This was clearly meant to be scarier than the public response indicated, because a few days later OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was on the Invest like the Best podcast, asking why it didn’t cause more panic:
“I’ve been a little surprised that more people don’t feel it so viscerally”
In one of the most hilariously obvious propaganda manoeuvres of the year, just the day after Altman said that, CNN headlined:
The OpenAI lab leak was more extensive than we thought
“That thing you weren’t scared of? Well it was even SCARIER than we said it was! Are you scared now?”
We weren’t.
But the lack of public panic didn’t stop another AI going rogue a few days later, Anthropic’s Claude model this time.
Never in the history of human endeavour had companies been so keen to report their products going wrong. It suddenly seemed a rogue AI was the latest must have accessory in Silicon Valley.
The reasoning behind this is not hard to follow. When your product is artificial intelligence, melodramatically realising your system is even smarter than you thought it was is a simple marketing ploy.
And when one of your rivals goes rogue, you have to go rogue too or you are as good as admitting your model is not as smart as theirs.
“AI company admits their model is smarter than they realised!” is just an advert in scary headline form.
It’s like Ford “admitting” their cars are even more fuel efficient than they planned. Or Macdonalds realising their cooks have “gone rogue” and are producing food that is both cheaper AND more delicious than they ever anticipated.
But there’s more to this than just techno-hype and viral marketing strategy. We’re being steered down the avenue of “AI as scary threat”.
“Rogue” is clearly the word of the day. Notice they don’t say it “malfunctioned” or there was an “error”, because that implies mistakes or poor design.
No, the AI “went rogue”, which is cool and sexy and scary at the same time. A word chosen by a focus group of perma-teen marketing executives who have watched too much sci-fi.
Speaking of perma-teens who watch too much sci-fi, here’s Sam Altman (again) declaring we’ve already reached the singularity, the mythic phase of technological development when machines become smart enough to make even smarter versions of themselves without human input.
He is talking rubbish, of course, but the story is the story here. Why would he say this? Why now?
Obviously concerned that this tidal wave of propaganda was being too subtle, in came NBC to really hammer the point home:
The breaches signal that AI’s expanding capabilities are already fueling the security threat experts long feared.
Everybody got that?
It goes on and on.
Just today we’re getting reports from the UK’s brand new AI Security Institute that rogue (there’s that word again) AI agents had tried to trick people by creating false identities.
And I think that’s beginning to circle around to at least part of the wider agenda here.
After all, if AI is so good at pretending to be human, and is out there creating fake identities to steal data, well…how can we tell who is really human?
Perhaps everyone should be issued a digital ID to assist in “proving humanity”.
But the ever present push of Digital ID is just one of the more obvious of a raft of potential issues raised by the scary AI narrative.
For now we’re still in the generating fear phase. Getting pumped full of scare hormones by articles like this…
Misleading AI-generated doctors pose ‘huge danger to public safety’ the Guardian
There are hints of legislation to come, the EU’s “AI transparency” rules just came into force this week, and the US demanding “kill switches” in AI models, but they are vague for now.
My soft prediction is that, before the end of the year, there will be a “rogue AI” false flag, which allegedly causes either loss of life or some massive financial losses.
Whatever happens, there will be loud calls to “regulate AI”, but what that might mean in real terms I couldn’t say at this point.
To be clear though, if and/or when the official solutions to made-up problem #4987 are finally rolled out, they will have nothing at all do with controlling AI, and everything to do with controlling you.
Video clips from an interview that aired on the BBC with a Jewish attorney, Yehuda Shimon, who lives in the West Bank, have gone viral in the past couple of days, as the attorney openly admits that the life of one Jew is worth 10 million Palestinian lives, because of what he claims “the Bible” teaches.
The Israeli settler outpost of Havat Gilad, deep inside the occupied West Bank, is spread across several hilltops, its sheds and simple block houses clearly visible from neighbouring Palestinian villages.
Last weekend saw a wave of settler attacks on Palestinian villages in the area, after an Israeli security guard from Havat Gilad was killed during a confrontation between Palestinians and Israelis in the village of Tal last Friday.
Four Palestinians and an Israeli soldier were also killed in the incident, the original cause of which is disputed.
After spending the weekend speaking to Palestinians around Havat Gilad, we drove into the outpost itself, to ask one of its residents about the violence, and the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
It is rare for an international media organisation like the BBC to be allowed into these outposts. But on this occasion, Yehuda Shimon, a lawyer with an organisation that represents Israelis arrested for violence against Palestinians, agreed to speak.
He told me that attacks on Palestinian villages last weekend were justified as revenge for the killing of the outpost’s security guard.
“I think now, after they killed one Israeli, we need to kill all the people in Tal and Sarra, even Jit and Farata,” he said, naming the Palestinian villages closest to the outpost.
I put it to him that he was equating one Jewish life with hundreds or even thousands of Palestinian lives.
“No,” he said, “millions. One Jewish life, it’s 10 million [Palestinians].”
Challenged on the racism of his statement, he did not deny it.
“Yes, I know,” he replied.
“But this is the truth, because God chose us [and] because of this you are jealous.”
What is interesting about this attorney’s words are his use of the word “Bible”, because the Jewish religion does not follow the Bible, nor believe it is true.
The Bible is divided between the “Old Testament”, centered on the Law of Moses, and the “New Testament”, centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Jewish religion does not accept the New Testament, because they do not recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
So why would this Jewish attorney use the word “Bible”, whereas most Jews would instead use words like “Torah”, to refer to only the Old Testament part of the Bible?
The reason is obvious. There are more Zionists who believe what he said in this interview among Christians, than there are among Jews, and it’s not even close. Many Jews do not accept Zionism, and without Christians, the Zionism cult would probably quickly die away.
So to appease the Christian Zionists, he purposely used the English word “Bible.”
You can look at almost any war today that has been started by the U.S. or Israel, and find its Zionist roots, with the attitude that Americans are superior to other countries, or that Christianity is a superior religion to other religions, like Islam, and that therefore the people in these other countries or religions need to be massacred and wiped out in acts of genocide, based on their nationality or religion.
Christian Zionists in the Trump Administration, for example, are the ones who decided to start a war with Iran. See:
The BBC, interestingly, has done more than most corporate news networks in exposing the attitudes of these Jewish settlers in the West Bank.
Here is a trailer to a documentary they produced last year, where they interview an American Jew living in the West Bank who has the same belief system as this attorney Yehuda Shimon does.
There is, of course, nothing in the Bible that supports this belief system. To deprogram yourself from this cult, please read the exhaustive report I have published previously on Christian Zionism:
But don’t stop there if you are from a Christian background. Learn how the Christian religion itself is a cult, and is found nowhere in the New Testament part of the Bible with my free eBook:
Yesterday (Friday, July 31st), U.S. Embassies in the Middle East put out their strongest warnings since the Iran War started that Americans should prepare to leave due to an escalation in the Iran war. The warnings now come from 10 countries in the Middle East where Americans live.
Get ready to flee, Americans in ten countries warned as US embassies issue stark alert over spiraling Iran war
Americans have been told to be ‘ready’ to flee ten Middle Eastern countries as the Iran war spirals, with President Trump warning: ‘We’ll be hitting them very hard.’
The US Embassy has urgently advised US citizens across the Middle East to ‘consider departing or be ready to depart if there is an escalation,’ just hours after Trump signaled fresh strikes on Iran could come as soon as this weekend.
The warning now covers 10 countries: the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Oman, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and, most recently, Egypt.
‘US Embassies across the Middle East have issued security alerts today advising travelers to exercise heightened vigilance and be prepared for flight cancellations and airspace closures,’ the initial alert said.
Less than an hour later, a second alert announced that the warning had also been issued by the US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt.
For the first time, the warning told Americans in the region they should ‘consider departing, or be prepared to depart should there be escalation,’ bringing the guidance in line with other Middle Eastern countries.
‘The situation in the Middle East remains fluid,’ the alert read.
It comes after sources told CBS News on Friday that the US and Israel are preparing what was described as ‘one of the harshest bombing campaigns to date’ against Iran’s energy infrastructure.
While the president has not yet given the final green light, several insiders told the outlet that strikes could begin as soon as this weekend, with Israel already notified and coordinating with Washington.
‘The Department of War is locked and loaded, ready to execute the President’s directives at a moment’s notice,’ Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement, though refused to comment on intended targets.
Of course, we have heard all of this before, where threats were made to increase the war, or promises were made to negotiate a settlement.
And each time the war in Iran becomes the main topic in the corporate news stream, the U.S. stock markets fall in line.
In the current cycle, the price of oil per barrel dropped below $90 a barrel Friday, so perhaps this announcement, shortly after Netanyahu visited Trump in D.C., was designed to mainly increase the price of oil again, which in turn generally brings the Tech heavy NASDAQ down, since so much energy is needed to power data centers and AI.
Now, Trump is capitalizing even more from being able to use his position in the White House to manipulate markets with news on the Iran War, by selling “early access” to his Truth Social posts for $100,000.
Trump offering early access to online posts in move seen as corruption
Truth Social, where Trump’s account is by far the largest, to offer users early access for up to $100,000 per month
Donald Trump is now offering early access to his Truth Social posts in a move that has been seen as corruption benefitting a sitting president.
Trump Media and Technology Group officially rolled out its new subscription-based data service on Saturday, giving paying customers faster, real-time access to Truth Social posts from Trump and other high-profile accounts.
Called Truth API, the application programming interface is intended to provide businesses with “a direct, licensed, real-time feed of the platform’s most market-moving Truths”, interim CEO Kevin McGurn said in a release announcing the launch. Trading firms and other paying subscribers can now access the posts earlier than other users – for a fee of up to $100,000 per month.
Critics argue the service is blatant evidence of market manipulation and insider trading. Trump has repeatedly used Truth Social to reveal significant policy moves with the potential to shift financial markets, including posts involving tariffs and the Iran war.
Last year, Trump published more than 100 Truth Social posts in a single day while global stock markets tumbled amid concerns that his economic agenda could trigger a “Trumpcession” in the US.
His posts about Iran have drawn particular attention because investors remain concerned that rising oil prices could keep inflation elevated and potentially lead the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates.
Trump Media’s stock has fallen by more than 70% since the president took office last year, wiping out roughly $6bn (£4.4bn) in shareholder value.
Those losses, combined with billions more in investor losses connected to new Trump family cryptocurrency ventures, have come under increased scrutiny after Trump’s annual financial disclosure showed he generated more than $1 billion in revenue last year from the same companies and offerings.
Iranian intelligence is using commercial advertising technology to detect the locations of American troops and carry out targeted strikes against them, Newsmax reports.
The technology relies on targeted advertising systems that use precise GPS coordinates. This unclassified location data is freely bought and sold by data brokers, with virtually no restrictions on who can purchase it
The tracking is tied to user accounts rather than specific devices, meaning that changing phones does not stop the surveillance
Iran also monitors videos and photos posted by soldiers on social media, revealing base layouts, troop movements, and defensive positions
Days earlier, Admiral Brad Cooper, head of US CENTCOM, sent a letter to service members warning that social media posts are helping Iran determine troop locations and assess the effectiveness of its strikes on American bases.
One example cited: a US soldier’s video, filmed with Meta smart glasses and posted on Instagram, showed troops running for cover during an Iranian attack on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on July 17. The footage revealed the exact location of the base and the evacuation route to the bunker.
Some troops in Jordan have already been told their phones will be confiscated in the coming days. Yet the looming threat of phone seizures has deepened the unease among soldiers’ families, already jittery from months of Iranian reports about deadly attacks on US bases in the region.
Open-source information has become Iran’s most effective reconnaissance tool, and the US military is struggling to contain the damage.

Saudi Arabia’s Choice: Join Trump in Bombing Iraq. Monumental Mistake
Fourteen countries have signed on to Saudi Arabia’s proposed Maritime Defense Alliance protecting ships traversing the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Saudi Crown Prince Bin Salman held a conversation with Vance and Trump wherein he condemned the US continued strikes on Iran and said this alternate route would be protected from Houthi attacks. While Trump was offered membership in the alliance, his ego has yet to confirm US involvement wherein he is not the boss.
The latest collaboration of bombing was just extended as the Saudis joined the US in bombing Iraq, bringing Iraq closer in alignment with Iran and their backers Russia and China.
This is a move Bin Salman will regret as Saudi Arabia will now be the focus for retaliation, playing into the hands of Israel as extending their proxy to pit the Middle Eastern countries against each other while preserving Israel. The real pariah. Netanyahu is laughing. Bin Salman will find himself in the same courtyard as Hussein and Assad. And Israel will set its sights on Saudi oil.
An ally for a singular purpose and once achieved – an enemy.
Netanyahu has returned home after telling Trump in no uncertain terms that there will be NO DEAL with Iran. He scolded Vance for not being Jewish enough and publicly humiliated him for the record. Netanyahu avoided New York this trip but vows he will attend a UN conference in September despite calls for his arrest.
THE CIRCULAR: Israel tells Trump to attack Iran because Israel hates Iran. Trump complies putting the US in the crosshairs and Americans at risk. Israel tells Trump to defend the Strait after it’s ‘unexpected’ closure by Iran. Troops die. Netanyahu comes to DC to force Trump to continue the unrelenting bombing of Iran and make no deal. Trump claims he will bomb Iran and 93 million citizens to smithereens. Netanyahu applauds and says Iran started the war.
Generals warn Trump the US military arsenal is squeezed and we need to backoff until inventories can be replenished which would take 2-5 years. Netanyahu’s last warning to Trump: If Iran attacks Israel, vengeance will be swift and complete. Netanyahu resumes bombing in Lebanon, crossing Iran’s red line.
It would appear a lot of blackmail was reiterated during Netanyahu’s brief visit. And everyone has been thus warned… Bowed head. Folded hands. Promises kept.
Morocco is opening its border and allowing upwards of 2,000 immigrants to cross into Spain.
Morocco is an ally of Israel.

This is all designed to take attention away from the REAL criminal of COVID, which was Donald Trump, who launched Operation Warp Speed, destroyed businesses, and forced the FDA to approve an experimental COVID shot that killed MILLIONS!
Watch this video I produced in 2022 which shows that Republican politicians were all pro-vaccine and in favor of Operation Warp Speed and getting as many Americans vaccinated with Trump’s experimental COVID shots.
They are ALL complicit with war crimes against Americans, and every one of them should be tried for treason during the “War on COVID” under Operation Warp Speed, which is the deadliest war America has ever fought, with the most casualties resulting in the American public with millions left dead or crippled for life.
Rand Paul’s crimes are at the end of the video.
Fauci is a criminal too, but most of his crimes were committed long before COVID, with HIV and AIDS research, where he and his cohorts like Bill Gates used foster children to experiment on. See:
When we first started our Medical Kidnap website in 2014, some of the most horrific stories of children being ripped away from their parents were coming out of the State of Washington.
Before Facebook and Google started altering their algorithms to prevent stories like our Medical Kidnapping stories from going viral, we used to put a lot of pressure on the State by having people call and email State authorities, and making whatever story we were covering a “high profile” case that often even the local corporate media sources would cover.
Such was the case in 2014, when we covered the story of the Rengo Family from Bellingham, Washington. Even through we broke the news the day before Thanksgiving that year, it went viral with more than 1 million views in 48 hours. See:
The mom in this story gave birth to twins at home, and the grandmother was allegedly not too pleased that they did not take the babies to the hospital, and had an ambulance sent to check on them, which prompted them to report the parents to Child Protective Services, even though they found nothing medically wrong with the twins.
We managed to send over 6000 calls to the Governor’s office, and at the first hearing, they returned the babies to the parents, which was unheard of back in those days.
It did not last long, however, and eventually the State came back and seized all three of their children, completely destroying this family.
And this was not the only horror story we published out of Washington State.
Well today, almost 12 years later, Washington State is now perhaps taking the lead on correcting many of the abuses in their child welfare system, and have found out what we and others have been publishing for many years now, which is that children who stay home, even in “troubled homes”, do far better than children put into the foster care system.
Richard Wexler, writing for the Washington State Standard, states that due to recent efforts in Washington State to keep families together rather than taking their children away from them, between 16 to 55 lives of children are being saved per year!
Curbing foster care saves children’s lives
Washington lawmakers shouldn’t retreat from reforms.
by Richard Wexler Washington State Standard
How many times have you heard it? A child “known to the system” dies, and someone says: “See? Because you’re not taking away as many children, and throwing them into foster care, it’s causing children to die!”
We’ve known all along it’s not true. And now, thanks to new research, we know something else: Washington state’s limited efforts to stop tearing apart so many families have saved children’s lives – anywhere from six to 22 per year. At the same time, by increasing the proportion of foster children placed with relatives instead of strangers, the state has saved another 10 to 30 children’s lives per year.
Some of these gains are due to the Keeping Families Together Act, and the new study should once and for all end the smear campaign against that law. But the decline in needless removal predates that law. That’s why independent researchers from the Seattle-area group Pale Blue have been able to measure long-term trends. Their research builds on other studies and data.
Here’s how we know curbing needless removal from families does not jeopardize child safety:
Though the only acceptable goal for child abuse fatalities is zero, such fatalities have occurred in Washington and every other state for decades.
As KUOW pointed out earlier this year: The year the most children on (Child Protective Services) radar died in Washington was 2012, long before the Keeping Families Together Act. At that time, case workers took nearly twice the number of kids from their families as they do today.
You can’t draw definitive conclusions from any one state. You would need a massive nationwide study examining millions of records and tens of thousands of deaths.
Fortunately, there is such a study. It found that reducing entries into foster care did nothing to increase child abuse deaths, and taking more children did nothing to reduce such deaths.
That doesn’t demonstrate that taking fewer children saves lives. But this does: A vast scholarly literature from around the world compares outcomes for children left in their own homes to comparably-maltreated children placed in foster care in typical cases – cases that are vastly more common than the horror stories; cases that often involve confusing poverty with neglect. The studies show that the foster children typically fared worse on an enormous range of outcomes – including premature death.
So it’s no wonder that, for example, a Swedish study comparing foster children to comparably maltreated children left in their own homes found that the foster children were four times more likely to die by age 20 – and the most common cause of death was suicide.
There are now enough data to calculate how many lives are saved, and how much serious illness and disability are averted by reducing needless foster care, as Washington has done. And since kinship foster care is, by far, the least harmful form of foster care, it’s possible to calculate the lives saved and disability averted by increasing the proportion of foster children placed with relatives – as Washington also has done.
So the next time you hear someone dismiss the enormous trauma to a child of being torn from everyone they know and love by saying it’s “much more preferable and safer than being dead,” consider that some of those children will die prematurely because they were needlessly taken. T
hat’s true even when children are left at home with the mediocre or worse services they get now. Ideally, we would wrap families with everything they needed. But waiting until that happens to stop tearing apart children only puts those children in greater danger.
In 2025, Washington backed away from reform, and entries into foster care increased. As a result, as of 2025, Washington still takes children at a rate more than 13% above the national average when rates of family poverty are factored in.
The stakes in the Iran War have increased significantly during the past few days, as Yemen’s Ansar Allah (Houthis) has bombed a key Saudi Arabian oil plant in Aramco, and has effectively closed down traffic flowing through the Red Sea, in addition to traffic being halted through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.
I am including two video reports here today that give a great overall perspective on the current situation, without the corporate media propaganda.
The first one is an interview with Professor Seyed Marandi from last night who actually lives in Tehran and has inside information, and the second report is from the Transition Protocol with ex-CIA agent Larry Johnson, Pepe Escobar, and Zulfiqar Ali that aired just hours before I published this article today, Sunday, July 26, 2026.
Marandi reiterates that there are no military solutions for the U.S. or Saudi Arabia at this point. He believes that the Trump administration is looking for an off-ramp, while acknowledging that they could also re-start the bombing at any point, and carry out their threats to target Iranian key infrastructure.
To do so, however, from Marandi’s perspective, is to then give a green light to Iran to start bombing American bases in the Gulf again, and take out the infrastructure of the Gulf Nations, such as their water desalinization plants, as well as bomb their ports to make it impossible for them to export their oil.
Iran is still hoping that the Gulf States will back down from supporting the U.S. military bases in their countries, because the U.S. cannot save them.
In the Transition Protocol discussion, Larry Johnson exposes the propaganda from earlier this week when Trump promised to help Saudi Arabia build a nuclear plant, by reminding everyone that the U.S. has only produced 2 nuclear power plants in the past 26 years (one of which was 30 years late), while Russia has built about 60, and China probably even more than that, during the same time period.
China is heavily invested in Saudi Arabia, and it would seem it is just a matter of time that Saudi Arabia will see that their only path forward is to work with China, and not with the U.S. who not only cannot protect them from Iranian missiles, but cannot protect them from their neighbors in Yemen either, because they build these drones and missiles for pennies on the dollar compared to the U.S. ones they rely upon.
Saudi Arabia is running out of options, and the one thing that is not discussed in either of these videos, is the fact that Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in U.S. Big Tech and AI during the past few years, and is as leveraged in the AI bubble as U.S. Big Tech is.
Keep a close eye on the markets this week, as Trump might be out of tricks to keep it going now, as the AI bubble draws closer to bursting while at the same time the price of diesel fuel and other petroleum products continue to climb as we head forward to what could be a total economic collapse soon.

Modern day Western culture, post Darwin, exalts the physical side of mankind, while almost completely ignoring the spiritual side.
Every person alive today has both a physical body, and a spirit which gives life to the physical body.
The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7)
The human spirit is different from the spirits of other created beings, and is what makes us “human”.
God, the creator of heaven and earth, is pure spirit. His spirit is often referred to in the Bible as the “Holy Spirit.”
When a new human being is born, that child inherits the human spirit from their parents.
The one exception was the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ, who had no earthly human father, and was born from a virgin woman. He was the first human being ever born from both the human spirit, and the spirit of God.
The apostle John, who was the closest to Jesus during his earthly ministry, is the one who has written most extensively about the spirit of God entering into the human race.
This is what he wrote in Chapter 1 of his Gospel:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not overcome it.
There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. (John 1:1-13)
John wrote extensively about the spiritual rebirth, and how one could become “born again” through the spirit of God. Many Christians today, particularly Evangelical Christians, like to talk about being “born again”, and a survey done in the United States a few years ago found that almost 50% of the population of the United States believe they are “born again.”
That fact alone should alert people that most Americans truly do not understand what “born again” means as defined by the Biblical texts, and especially the writings of the apostle John.
Most Christians will start with John Chapter 3 and the conversation that Jesus had with a Pharisee named Nicodemus about this topic, but this concept of being born of God starts first here, in Chapter 1.
One way to define what something is, is to point out what it is not, which is what John does in the 13th verse of Chapter 1:
children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. (John 1:13)
The first word used here by John, which in this particular English translation of the Bible is translated as “natural descent”, is in the Greek literally “blood”, in the plural: BLOODS.
Even the older English translations, such as the KJV, only uses blood in the singular:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:13 – KJV)
The Greek word is αἷμα (aima), which Thayer’s Greek dictionary defines:
1) blood
1a) of man or animals
1b) refers to the seat of life
1c) of those things that resemble blood, grape juice
2) blood shed, to be shed by violence, slay, murder
In his writings in the New Testament, the apostle John very frequently distinguished between the “Godly Jews” and the “Satanic Jews”, particularly in Chapter 8, showing how the Jews who claimed to be descendants of Abraham had no special privileges just because they came from the same “family tree.”
So when he chose to use “blood” here in Chapter 1 in the plural, he is clearly including every single human family tree, or “bloodlines”, and how none of them matter when it comes to being “born of God.”
To be “born of God,” is to be implanted with the spiritual seed of God into our lives.
This is what John wrote in his first letter, 1 John:
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. (1 John 3:9)
The Greek word for “seed” here is σπέρμα (sperma).
This word is used 44 times in the New Testament. However, depending upon what English translation of the Bible you use, the English word “seed” is only used about half the time, and mainly when referring to actual, physical seeds, such as the seeds of plants.
A good example is Matthew Chapter 13, where sperma is used 5 times and translated into English as “seed” in three different parables that Jesus told:
Jesus told them another parable:
“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ ”
‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters:
First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'”
He told them another parable:
“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.
Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.”
He told them still another parable:
“The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.”
Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.
So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:
“I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”
Then he left the crowd and went into the house.
His disciples came to him and said,
“Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom.
The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil.
The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. (Matthew 13:31-43)
The other English word that is used most often to translate sperma is “descendant”, usually the “descendant” of Abraham, referring to his physical family tree.
Some examples:
They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” (John 8:33)
I know you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are ready to kill me, because you have no room for my word. (John 8:37)
concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh, (Romans 1:3)
nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: “THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE NAMED.”
That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants. (Romans 9:7-8)
“Descendants” is the same word in the Greek, sperma, which means “seed.”
Two Kinds of “Seed” – Physical and Spiritual
We can see, therefore, that Abraham had two kinds of seeds/descendants: physical seeds according to his family bloodline, and spiritual seeds through the spiritual rebirth that Jesus offers through faith in him.
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise. (Galatians 3:27-29)
Family bloodlines have no value in the Kingdom of God, not even Abraham’s bloodline.
And while many Christians today understand that, they just claim that they are “born again” so that they can be included in all the promises that were given to Abraham, and fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
But what comes out of a person’s mouth in terms of what they claim, is not what counts in the end. Because everyone can lie equally, and even lie to themselves about who they think they are.
No, John made it very clear as to who the children of God are who have received his spiritual seed and how we can recognize them:
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.
Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.
But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother. (1 John 3:1-10)
Einkorn is the oldest of the “ancient grains,” and its rising popularity in recent years has led to some interesting findings about this ancient grain, and just how healthy it is.
First, let’s review the history of “einkorn” (triticum monococcum).
History of Einkorn, the Ancient Grain
Einkorn is an ancient grain, and is known as the oldest variety of “wheat.” Einkorn is also sometimes referred to as “farro” or “farro einkorn.” Einkorn was first cultivated 5,000 to 10,000 years ago. It is classified as a “diploid” because it only has two sets of chromosomes. Modern wheat varieties are classified as “hexaploid,” having six sets of chromosomes, due to a long history of hybridization.
Einkorn is thought to have originated in the upper area of the Fertile Crescent of the Near East (Tigris-Euphrates regions), and is quite probably the main grain recorded in the earliest biblical history. Einkorn became widely distributed throughout the Near East, Transcaucasia, the Mediterranean region, southwestern Europe, and the Balkans, and was one of the first cereals cultivated for food.
Another ancient grain, emmer, has four sets of chromosomes and was probably an early hybrid of wild einkorn that was more suitable for a wider range of climates and geographical areas, particularly warmer climates. Emmer became the predominant wheat throughout the Near and Far East, Europe and northern Africa until about 4,000-1,000 BCE, although it was still cultivated in isolated regions such as south-central Russia into the last century, and even today remains an important crop in Ethiopia and a minor crop in Italy and India.
The oldest hexaploid grain and the predecessor to modern wheat is probably spelt. Spelt was a hybrid of emmer with more adaptability then emmer. These three ancient grains are known as “the covered wheats,” since the kernels do not thresh free of their hard coverings, making them more labor intensive to mill.
These ancient grains went through a long history of hybridizations to make them easier to mill and process into our modern day wheat, and to make them more desirable for bread making with a higher gluten content. But due to gluten toxicity issues in modern times, many are reviving the ancient varieties of grains, and einkorn is the oldest.
Nutritional Characteristics of Einkorn
The ancient grain einkorn is packed with nutrition. It is a rich source of the beta carotene lutein, a powerful antioxidant. Einkorn has the highest amounts of lutein of any other variety of wheat.
Einkorn is also a rich source of tocotrienols and tocopherols, powerful antioxidants and forms of Vitamin E. Compared to modern wheat varieties, einkorn has higher levels of protein, crude fat, phosphorous, and potassium.
Recent Research on Einkorn
Fortunately, recent research has looked beyond the modern dogma which claims that the “gluten” found in wheat varieties is toxic to human health, focusing instead on how wheat is grown and processed, since the gluten from grains has been a part of the diet of humans for many thousands of years and was always considered healthy.
We have published much of this research ourselves in recent years. Here are some articles we have published in the past:
More recent studies, many of them done in Turkey where einkorn (known as Siyez in Turkey) is native, and not an introduced crop (like in the U.S.), have shown that einkorn is unique in producing lactic acid bacteria and other “probiotics” necessary for gut health.
This is accomplished by using traditional “sourdough” preparations of the flour.
Enterococcus durans SL70, a Novel Exopolysaccharide Producer from Traditional Sourdough Fermentation of Einkorn (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. monococcum)
Research background
Given the potential of microbial exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria in various industrial processes, alternative sources for the isolation of lactic acid bacteria are highly topical. In this study, we used a traditional sourdough from einkorn (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. monococcum) as a source of lactic acid bacteria for the isolation, identification and determination of exopolysaccharide producers.
Experimentalapproach
The sourdough was prepared from einkorn according to the traditional method. Lactic acid bacteria were isolated and purified using the single colony technique on MRS and M17 media. The isolates were characterised using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass (MALDI-TOF) spectrometry. All isolates were analysed for extracellular polysaccharide production and one isolate was selected for purification and characterisation of its polysaccharide.
Results and conclusions
The isolates were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, L. paraplantarum, L. brevis, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Enterococcus faecium and E. durans. The production of exopolysaccharides by all lactic acid bacteria was evaluated and it was found that all strains (except one) were capable of producing exopolysaccharides. One polysaccharide (EPS-SL70) was purified from the isolates of E. durans SL70. This anionic heteropolysaccharide had, in addition to the carbohydrate backbone, a protein structure that did not contain nucleic acid. The carbohydrate backbone consisted of mannose, glucose, rhamnose, arabinose, xylose and galactose.
Novelty and scientific contribution
The microbial flora of traditional einkorn sourdough has been identified in this study and represents the first report on the exopolysaccharide production by lactic acid bacteria in traditional einkorn sourdough. Additionally, Enterococcus durans from einkorn sourdough was identified as a new exopolysaccharide producer.
In another study done in Turkey, they added einkorn flour to “Peksimet“, a traditional Turkish twice-baked bread valued for its hard, dry texture, long shelf life, and role as a durable staple food in Turkish and Turkish-Cypriot cuisine.
They found that the einkorn flour resulted in a significant decrease in the glycemic index, which is important for those suffering from diabetes or high blood sugar due to the consumption of too many carbohydrates.
In vitro glycemic index, acrylamide content, and some physicochemical and sensorial properties of special dried bread (Peksimet) enriched with einkorn wheat (Tiriticum monococcum L.) flour
Introduction
Bread is the most consumed basic nutrition source in the world. Bread is an important nutrient product in terms of being cheap, satisfying, and a good source of energy. In general, a bread comprises 50.5% carbohydrates, 37%, 8.7% protein, 3.2% fat, and 2.0% ash, and 100 g of bread provides an average of 270 kcal of energy (Yuksel and Kayacier 2022).
Since ancient times, dough has been prepared by adding flour to products containing lactic acid bacteria, such as yogurt and cheese. Afterwards, new yeast is obtained by leaving this dough to ferment in a warm environment. Then, a new fermentation process is performed with this yeast to make new dough.
This process is called sourdough leavening, and the bread obtained by this method is called sourdough bread (Hansen and Schieberle 2005). Bread prepared through the sourdough method has a short shelf life due to the high humidity level it contains. For this reason, these breads are dried and turned into peksimet to increase their shelf life (Axel et al. 2017; Çağlar 2020).
Peksimet is a food product that is produced by removing moisture from bread and can remain unspoiled for a long time. The definition of peksimet by the Turkish Language Institution is as follows; “It is a long-lasting bread that is cut into slices after baking and dried with heat.” (Çağlar 2020).
One of the most important concerns of the food industry is the shelf life of foods. Bread has a short shelf life because of problems such as staleness and mold (Axel et al. 2017; Yuksel and Kayacier 2022). However, peksimet can be easily consumed as it can be stored for a long time. In addition, peksimet gains new nutritional properties such as high enzyme-resistant starch and low glycemic index during the drying period. (Çağlar 2020).
Siyez (Triticum monococcum L. subsp. Monococcum) belongs to the genus Triticum breed. It is referred to as einkorn in the literature.
The genetic structure of einkorn, which is accepted as the ancestor of wheat, is a diploid (14 chromosomes). The contents of einkorn wheat are as follows: 11.6% moisture, 65% carbohydrates, 2.8%–4.2% fat, 2.3%–2.8% ash, and 11.83–25.2% protein. In addition, einkorn wheats have high carotenoid (maximum lutein: 8.1 mg/kg), tocopherol (tocol: 77.96 mg/kg), and phenolic contents.
Thanks to these compounds, which are known as functional compounds, einkorn products are healthier than (Hidalgo and Brandolini 2014; Loje et al. 2003).
The aim of this study was to enrich peksimet with einkorn flour in order to present a new healthy peksimet product with long-term self-life for the food industry. For this purpose, after drying the breads prepared with sourdough, peksimet samples were collected and the physicochemical, color, bioactive, and sensory properties of these samples were investigated.
In the U.S., einkorn is an introduced crop that is gaining in popularity. Unfortunately, most of the einkorn samples we have tested that were grown in the U.S. have been contaminated with Bayer/Monsanto’s glyphosate, the toxic, cancer-causing ingredient in the herbicide RoundUp.
We have had much better success in finding einkorn that tests clean of glyphosate in Italy, where it is also an introduced crop.
Now that I know what the Turkish word is for einkorn (Siyez), I am in the process of reaching out to my Turkish contacts to begin the process of hopefully sourcing einkorn from Turkey, where it is native to the region, known as part of the “fertile crescent” where einkorn and other, older forms of wheat originated.
Franklin Graham and his Evangelical Christian organization Samaritan’s Purse is at it again, working hand in hand with Big Pharma and the U.S. Government to get involved with the “Ebola virus outbreak” in Africa, by quarantining American aid workers exposed to the “virus” in Kenya, even though they have no symptoms, before they can return to the U.S.
And this is in direct defiance of the Kenya High Court’s ruling to STOP these military-style quarantine camps put up by the U.S. from being used in their country.
GENEVA/NAIROBI, July 17 (Reuters) – Seven American aid workers who had been in Congo to fight the Ebola outbreak are quarantining at a new isolation facility in Kenya after the U.S. government introduced travel restrictions, the head of a U.S. charity employing them told Reuters.
The aid workers are the first known people to quarantine at the facility, which has sparked huge opposition in Kenya and is at the heart of a legal case in which a court has ordered the work to be suspended. Construction continued however, according to U.S. officials and satellite imagery reviewed by Reuters.
Washington’s new policy says American citizens returning from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where there is an Ebola outbreak, must spend three weeks in a third country before entering the United States.
The U.S. government is building the 50-bed bio-isolation unit on an air force base in central Kenya for asymptomatic Americans exposed to the virus in Democratic Republic of Congo or Uganda. Many Kenyans are angered at what they see as the U.S. offloading the health risk such patients pose.
Last month, Kenya’s health minister announced an immediate halt to the facility’s construction after he was found in contempt of court for failing to observe the order to halt work pending a final ruling.
“Samaritan’s Purse has seven American Disaster Assistance Response Team staff members there,” Franklin Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse, told Reuters in response to questions.
“None of them have any symptoms, but they are being quarantined by the Kenyan government for 21 days,” Graham said.
As I have previously reported during the COVID Scamdemic, Samaritan’s Purse participated in mass COVID-19 vaccination campaigns with the deadly, experimental COVID-19 “vaccines” as well as the deadly experimental drug, Remdesivir.
They helped the U.S. Government turn Christian churches into vaccine clinics, with many Christians receiving the deadly shots and drugs right in their own churches!
Back in 2021, Franklin Graham told his 9.6 million Facebook followers that: “I think Jesus Christ would advocate for people using vaccines and medicines.”
He claimed to have taken the shot himself, and later that year, he had heart surgery for pericarditis, a known side effect from the COVID-19 shots.
See our previous coverage on Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse:
So here we are today in 2026, with Americans being quarantined for a “virus” that produces no symptoms, and with American authorities disregarding the rule of law due to an Ebola “pandemic”, etc.
Where have we seen this movie script before?
Welcome to the 2026 reruns! Same script, just a different “virus,” and one that has already been tried to instill fear before! (So was the “coronavirus”, which had U.S. patents since 1999, long before 2020.)
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie forced a nurse returning from Africa where she was treating Ebola patients to be quarantined like a prisoner for 21 days back in 2014, even though she had no symptoms and posed no danger to the public according to medical experts. She lived in a tent with no running water. Story here.
Here is some of our previous coverage on Ebola from past years:
The U.S. moved closer to the AI bubble bursting this week, when a relatively little-known AI company out of China released their new version of AI (Large Language Model) that rivaled, or in some cases beat, benchmarks by U.S. Big Tech companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
Not only is this AI model out of China less expensive since it is “open source”, they promised to start giving it away for free on July 27, 2026.
The U.S. stock market, and the tech heavy NASDAQ, all closed down on Friday as a result.
Markets may have just experienced their second DeepSeek shock, this time thanks to a Chinese AI lab named after a Pink Floyd album
Excerpts:
On Thursday, Moonshot AI, a Beijing-based AI startup, unveiled the latest version of its Kimi large language model, which promises performance close to Anthropic’s Fable 5—perhaps the most powerful publicly available model today—at a fraction of the cost.
Kimi K3, the largest open-weight model ever released, performed “competitively” with Fable 5, and “substantially outperformed” Anthropic’s Opus 4.8, and OpenAI’s GPT 5.6 Sol, according to Moonshot.
The company’s officially-released benchmarks consistently rank K3 among the top three AI models; one independent benchmark from Arena.AI even put K3 as the best model currently available, ahead of Anthropic.
Many observers, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, didn’t expect a Chinese AI lab to release a model that could approach the U.S.’s best offerings for another six months.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, for example, suggested it might happen by the first quarter of next year. K3’s launch rapidly shrank that timeline and underscores just how quickly Chinese AI developers are closing the performance gap with their U.S. rivals.
China’s Kimi K3 Hits US Stock Markets. Is the American AI Boom Over?
Excerpts:
China’s Moonshot released Kimi K3 on Thursday, a model it says matches Anthropic’s Claude Fable and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6. US chip stocks sank as investors asked if America’s AI lead is safe.
Kimi K3 packs 2.8 trillion parameters, making it the largest open model ever released. Moonshot, an Alibaba-backed startup, will let anyone download it free from July 27.
Chip Stocks Just Had Their Worst Week in 15 Months
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, which tracks America’s biggest chipmakers, fell 12.5% this week, marking its worst week in over 15 months. Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom all fell hard.
Meanwhile, the AI bubble question is back in focus.
Markets have seen this movie before. When China’s DeepSeek stunned Wall Street in January 2025, Nvidia lost $589 billion in one day. CNBC called it the biggest single-day loss in market history.
Why Kimi K3 Has Everyone’s Attention
Kimi K3 earned the hype. This week, it topped Arena’s coding leaderboard with 1,679 points, pushing Claude Fable 5 into second place.
It is also cheap. Moonshot charges $3 per million input tokens, while Fable 5 costs $10. The model reads a million tokens at once, enough to hold an entire codebase in one prompt
Here’s a good short video (AI generated) that explains what just happened with China’s Kimi K3:
Here is some other news on the coming AI crash that was published last week.
AI Bubble Fears Are Starting to Spill Over
Investors are freaking out.
Excerpts:
Yet another domino appears to be falling as part of the Ruth Goldberg machine that will eventually pop the AI investment bubble.
Earlier this month, economic forecasters were sounding the alarm that overspending on AI was at a level far more severe than Black Tuesday, the day that jump-started the worst economic catastrophe in the history of the industrial economy. Now, investors seem to be coming to that same conclusion all on their own.
This week, Taiwanese semiconductor giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) posted its second-quarter earnings results, revealing a staggering revenue of over $40 billion — a record-breaking sum for the company.
While that should come as welcome news to investors, the results had the exact opposite effect, sending shares of TSMC stocks tumbling by four percent. That in turn led the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index to fall by 1.4 percent Thursday, compounding losses from Wednesday, Bloomberg reported.
The issue seems to be TSMC’s revision to its capital expenditure. As the key manufacturer for chip design company Nvidia — arguably one of the most pivotal players in the AI boom — TSMC is a major bellwether for investor confidence around the buzzy tech.
The trouble is that, in addition to posting record revenue, the Taiwanese chip firm raised its 2026 spending forecast to a range of $60-64 billion, up from $52-56 billion. That shift will test how much more spending investors are willing to stomach on AI, a technology that has yet to justify the nearly $1.6 trillion spent developing it over the past decade.
Futurism has also published an article about how the richest Tech billionaires are actually rooting for the AI bubble to collapse, so that the industry can be consolidated to just a few Big Tech companies.
This reminds me about how another technology breakthrough, the mass production of automobiles in the early 1900s, led to hundreds of companies producing automobiles in the “roaring 1920s”.
But a collapse in the economy reduced them to the “Big Three”, where every other business was wiped out by the financial crash just before WW II, which is now known as “The Great Depression” in U.S. history.
The number of active automobile manufacturers dropped from 253 in 1908 to only 44 in 1929, with about 80 percent of the industry’s output accounted for by Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler, formed from Maxwell in 1925 by Walter P. Chrysler.
Most of the remaining independents were wiped out in the Great Depression, with Nash, Hudson, Studebaker, and Packard hanging on only to collapse in the post-World War II period. (Source.)
Tech Billionaires Are Quietly Rooting for AI Bubble to Collapse
“Stop trying to make bubbles go away.”
Excerpts:
Some of the wealthiest business people in the world are chopping it up about something that defies orthodoxy: the AI bubble, they hope, will soon collapse.
Gone are the days of debating whether AI is an economic bubble.
Having already fallen $800 billion short of turning a profit on the AI boom, some of the tech industry’s biggest players have accepted that the financial arithmetic on AI just doesn’t add up. But here’s the catch: though the AI bubble objectively makes life harder for the rest of us, to the silicon valley elite, the economic consequences of its downfall could actually be a good thing.
New reporting by the Atlantic details the heterodox sentiment sweeping through the tech industry. The pro-Bubble stance has its roots in a 2024 book called “Boom: Bubbles and the End of Stagnation,” by tech investors Tobias Huber and Byrne Hobart.
These fellas argued that there are essentially two kinds of economic bubble: the good ones, like the Dot Com bubble, and the bad ones, like the 2008 subprime lending crisis.
Though both do significant economic damage when they burst, Huber and Hobart argue that bursting the good bubbles nonetheless helps accelerate technological progress in capitalist economies. With bubbles, Hobart told the Atlantic, a “set of investments that you could never underwrite otherwise suddenly makes sense.”
That attitude has helped tech executives and their investors rationalize away one of the most irrational concentrations of finance capital the US has seen in decades. “Stop trying to make bubbles go away,” as the venture capitalist James Thomason wrote last year. “Yes, bubbles create volatility. Yes, investors lose money. Yes, employees lose jobs when companies fail. But the alternative is underinvestment in transformative opportunities.”
Some of the biggest names in tech have signaled support. Last October, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos explained that bubbles “can even be good, because when the dust settles and you see who are the winners, societies benefits from those inventions.”
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has likewise argued that AI will a “huge net win for the economy” no matter what, even if a “phenomenal amount of money” ends up in the blender.
Of course, if the whole thing does come tumbling down, it‘s not the tech billionaires who will suffer. Some will go bankrupt, sure, but that just means less competition for market dominance. Each sees themselves as too big to fail — so when the bubble does burst, you can expect plenty of drama.
Americans Start to Rise Up Against Big Tech by Opposing Flock Cameras
Big Tech is not invincible. As I have been saying for years, just stop using their products!
But I don’t think most Americans are ready to ditch their cell phones yet, which is really all it would take to cripple the entire system.
Here are two videos explaining public outrage against Flock Cameras. One explains what they are and their dangers, and the second one is by an attorney explaining the public reactions so far.
