As a Digitized Iron Curtain Descends,
Spiritual Faith Rises
Posted By: Imright, 5/4/2023 12:23:37 PM
Two trend lines extend into the future. One tracks government's increased oppression, surveillance, and social control. The other tracks people's rising spiritual faith, desire for personal freedom, and determination that government should leave them alone. This is our reality. It also exposes the chink in totalitarianism's armor. The greater the government's coercion, the more convinced a growing share of the population becomes that illegitimate government must go. The same tug of war has played out time and again. With the luxury of hindsight, there is a clear trigger point when governing authorities cross a line into such unacceptable tyranny that their eventual fall becomes certain.

In October of 2020 – just days before the presidential election – 51 former intelligence officials signed and published a letter that baselessly decried the contents of Hunter’s ‘laptop from hell’ had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
This was a lie. They all knew it was a lie.
Former CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper will now be forced to testify before the House Weaponization subcommittee about the statement they signed in 2020 discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian propaganda.
The Biden-Harris administration has named Vice President Kamala Harris as the new A.I. head with the task of leading the government’s efforts to mitigate the risks and harness the opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI) in America. This decision comes as part of the administration’s broader initiative to promote responsible innovation in AI and safeguard people’s rights and safety.
“AI is one of the most powerful technologies of our time, but in order to seize the opportunities it presents, we must first mitigate its risks,” stated the White House press release on Thursday. “When it comes to AI, we must place people and communities at the center by supporting responsible innovation
The Princess of Wales shone on Friday evening as she joined the King, foreign royals and global leaders for a glamourous reception at Buckingham Palace ahead of Charles' historic Coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday - but royal fans were left wondering where Queen Camilla was after she missed the event, as well as an earlier walkabout on the Mall.
Kate appeared relaxed and at ease as she shared jokes with guests, seeming to particularly hit it off with Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark before greeting the US First Lady Jill Biden.
Vice Media is close to finalizing a deal with senior lenders, including Fortress Investment Group and Soros Fund Management, to purchase the struggling media company out of bankruptcy for a valuation of approximately $400 million.
According to the Wall Street Journal, nearly all of Vice’s stockholders, including supporters such as TPG Group, Sixth Street Partners, and media magnate James Murdoch, would be completely eliminated. The plan would also impair the outstanding debts owed to TPG and Sixth Street. Notably, the Murdoch family is a significant shareholder in News Corp, the parent company of The Wall Street Journal.
President Joe Biden named Neera Tanden, his failed nominee for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), to replace Susan Rice as his domestic policy advisor at the White House on Friday.
Tanden, a Hillary Clinton loyalist with a checkered past, was forced to withdraw her nomination to lead OMB — a post that requires Senate confirmation — in 2021 due to her past controversial remarks and volatile behavor. (Tweet) As Breitbart News noted:
Tanden famously mocked Biden as a “mess” in a leaked email to Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta in 2015, arguing that the former vice president’s bumbling made Clinton look
Beginning in the 19th century, snake oil salesmen falsely claimed their elixirs and tonics could treat a wide array of ailments. In the 21st century, a group of senators are hawking a bill they assert can cure the oh-so-many maladies caused by using the social media app, TikTok. Just like snake oil salesmen of the past, these Senators may talk a good game, but their antidote is far worse than any purported affliction.To address our nation’s hysteria over dance videos, more than twenty Senators, both Republican and Democrat, support the RESTRICT Act.
Our military is experiencing a series of recruitment concerns, and somehow members who identify as "non-binary" and perform drag shows are supposed to help with that. This is not a mere hypothetical, but was just revealed to be the case earlier this week, as Sarah covered.

Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) warned during a Foreign Relations subcommittee hearing this week that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using state-of-the-art AI to create “deep fakes” to destabilize the U.S.
Deep fakes are photos and videos that have been digitally manipulated to alter voices or images or other aspects of the content to appear authentic in an effort to deceive whoever is viewing the material. “The threat of disinformation, weaponizing information against the United States and our allies to divide us, divide our citizens is on the rise,” said Ricketts.
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced his intent, if elected, to neutralize the ability of U.S. intelligence agencies to spy on its own citizens.
In a tweet posted Friday morning, Kennedy posited that the “surveillance state” has taken a number of steps to silence dissent of U.S. foreign policy and prosecution of whistleblowers. He promised to replace officials instructing tech companies to suspend users identified as problematic to national interests, end prosecutions of whistleblowers by the Department of Justice, and rescind policies that permit spying on American citizens.

An embattled George Soros-bankrolled prosecutor in St. Louis resigned Thursday amid a legal effort by Missouri's attorney general to fire her for allegedly neglecting her duties.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, the city's top prosecutor, is stepping down following repeated, bipartisan calls for her resignation from officials across the state.
Gardner's office tweeted her resignation letter, which was addressed to the people of St. Louis. Gardner is one of the first progressive prosecutors whom Soros, a liberal billionaire and Democrat mega-donor, bankrolled in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020. She announced last month that she would seek a third term. Her resignation is effective June 1.
