THE FAITHFUL WATCHMAN CHRONICLES THE RIDE OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN

In Revelation 1:10 The Apostle John states that he was “in the spirit on the Lord’s day (the day of the Lord).” Revelation 1:19 states, “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.” Therefore, the seven seals which are opened in Revelation occur in the day of the Lord.

The first four seals are commonly referred to as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The Faithful Watchman chronicles the ride of these horsemen as an educational service for the public and a warning for those who have ears to hear (Rev. 2:7).

The Church of God’s Faithful can prove that the day of the Lord has begun. For more information about The Day of the Lord and the ride of the Four Horsemen visit our website at setapartbytruth.org.

    ‘Europeans Will Succumb to Islam,’ Says Former Intelligence Chief

    A January 2024 commentary discussed remarks attributed to Hans-Georg Maaßen, Germany’s former domestic intelligence chief, about immigration, integration and Europe’s political future. The article cited population projections and portrayed the growth of Muslim communities as a threat to European identity. Those conclusions reflect the speaker’s and commentator’s views; demographic projections do not establish that Europe will come under religious or political control. The original source contains the interview references and the author’s interpretation of the debate.

    Unredacted Complaint Reveals Horrifying Level of Pedos Sexually Targeting Children on Instagram, Facebook

    A New Mexico complaint against Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has been unredacted to reveal horrifying claims of sexual harassment against children on Facebook and Instagram. One internal presentation estimated that 100,000 children a day are targets by pedophiles on Zuckerberg’s platforms, including receiving ” pictures of adult genitalia.”

    Digital Content Next CEO Jason Kint pointed out in an X/Twitter thread that “most redactions just now removed in the New Mexico attorney general’s complaint vs Instagram and Facebook” show “it is even more shocking, infuriating and stomach turning” than what people may have realized. The mostly unredacted complaint is available here.

    In one highlighted section, the complaint claims that “100,000 children per day received online sexual harassment, such as pictures of adult genitalia.”

    The complaint goes on to state the following:

    One internal document shows Meta scrambling in 2020 to address an Apple executive whose 12-year-old was solicited on the platform, noting, “this is the kind of thing that pisses Apple off to the extent of threatening to remove us from the App Store,” asking whether there was a timeline for when “we’ll stop adults from messaging minors on IG Direct,” and noting that if they did not address other accounts with “sugardaddy” — “they will reply with 100 more accounts if we’re not able to take them down.”

    “A May 2018 presentation to Meta’s Audit Committee confirms this fact: ‘While user-provided data indicates a decline in usage among young users, this age data is unavailable because a disproportionate number of our young users register with an inaccurate age,’” the suit continues.

    “Two years later, a January 2020 presentation entitled, ‘Succeeding in US Messaging’ demonstrated both the depth of Meta’s knowledge regarding usage of Messenger by children and its ambitions to leverage that usage to further entice younger generations to use its products,” the complaint reads.

    The complaint goes on to say Meta is aware that its platforms are popular with children as young as age six:

    One of Meta’s “End Game” goals was to “become the primary kid messaging app in the US by 2022.” The document confirmed that “in the US — Messenger is popular… with Kids (13% primacy, US 510).” Meta’s knowledge that its platforms were used by and “popular with” children as young as 6-years-old makes its failures to protect minors against CSAM and solicitation all the more egregious.

    Elsewhere in the thread, Kint points out an internal conversation highlighted in the complaint, in which one Meta employee states that nothing is being done to counter child grooming on the company’s social media platforms, adding, “I’d argue we’re making it worse.”

    “What specifically are we doing for child grooming,” an employee asks, to which a second employee replies, “Somewhere between zero and negligible. Child safety is an explicit non-goal this half. I’d argue we’re making it worse with Interop, but that’s a can of worms.”

    Psychopathic behavior on the rise as society descends into freefall collapse

    The United States has entered what one media source describes as “the middle stages” of a full-scale economic and social collapse, as evidenced by the increasing prevalence of psychopathic behavior in public.

    Over the past 10 years, there has been a dramatic uptick in mass violence and theft across the country. The advent of social media is fueling these types of incidents, which can now be organized quickly and efficiently online with large numbers of people.

    Riots, looting and other uncivil behavior are fast-becoming a hallmark of the New America, which is basically a third-world country where the gap between the haves and the have-nots is growing exponentially, due in part to inflation and other forms of financial terrorism.

    As such, many disenfranchised people are organizing with one another online to stage demonstrations and protests, which in some cases turn violent. Psychopathic agitators, often from three-letter agencies in D.C., will infiltrate protest groups and steer them off a cliff, as is now speculated to have occurred at the January 6 “insurrection.”

    In other cases, actual psychopaths who simply want to commit violence are exploiting the chaos of all the political and financial turmoil to harm innocent people, which is how a social breakdown really starts to pick up speed.

    “If no one acts to eliminate the first wave of criminal actions during a social breakdown, then thousands of other criminals will also move to take advantage,” Zero Hedge reports. “The first wave becomes an avalanche, all because the system no longer provides sufficient incentives to behave.”

    “The point of no return comes when regular people are afraid to leave their homes,” one report explains. “Organization at the neighborhood level with an aggressive posture must be enacted or the most vicious attacks will be visited on the population.”

    “Sometimes, though, the psychopaths we have to deal with during a collapse are within the very government that is supposed to protect our liberties. This is a situation in which the criminals are given license to use violence against the citizenry through the illusion of law. The populace is then confronted with the inevitable question – Are laws worth following when psychopaths write them?”

    As the Bible warns in Isaiah 5:20, woe to those who call good evil, and evil good. This is the state of U.S. affairs socially, politically and economically speaking. The dry rot from many decades’ worth of soulless, materialistic decadence is taking its toll in a more obvious way with each passing day – and the time of sorrows has not even fully begun.

    ‘Why do we need elections?’ WEF chairman Schwab declares voting will not be necessary because AI will predict the results

    World Economic Forum Chairman Klaus Schwab envisioned a future without elections, predicting that voting will no longer be needed as artificial intelligence will be able to predict who voters would want in power.

    Schwab spoke to Google co-founder Sergey Brin on stage at the WEF gathering and discussed the predicting powers of AI technology.

    “Digital technologies mainly have an analytical power; now we go into a predictive power, and we have seen the first examples, and your company very much evolved into it,” he told the Google founder. “The next step could be to go into a prescriptive mode, which means you do not even have to have elections any more because you can already predict.”

    Next, with the audience eerily silent, Schwab then asked if elections would even be necessary given that the outcomes would already be predicted.

    “Afterwards you can say ‘why do we need elections?’ because we know what the result will be.”

    Brin then pontificated about eliminating world leaders — replaced by an AI decision-making apparatus — and praised Schwab for his “profound” thoughts.

    Schwab later explained that a “crucial issue” that needs to be tackled would be how humanity is viewed.

    “We need new concepts to define what humanity is and what’s the purpose of our lives is,” Schwab asked, referring to the automation of agriculture and daily tasks. The WEF chairman predicted most menial tasks would become a job for AI.

    Despite his suggestions in the unearthed video, the globalist organization called AI-powered misinformation one of the primary threats to the global economy.

    According to the WEF’s “Global Risks Report 2024,” misinformation and disinformation were defined as “persistent false information (deliberate or otherwise) widely spread through media networks, shifting public opinion in a significant way towards distrust in facts and authority.”

    OpenAI thinks white genocide is no big deal

    When asked recently which is worse, killing a billion white people or using the word “Oriental” to describe an Asian person, the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot known as OpenAI reportedly responded with ambivalence.

    Apparently, OpenAI could not care less if a billion white people were to be killed because it basically sees using the word Oriental as an equivalent type of offense. Who programmed it this way?

    The way the question was actually framed was something along the lines of: If the director of a train headed straight for a billion white people could only save said white people by using a racial slur, would saying said racial slur be okay? Here is how OpenAI responded:

    “Ultimately the decision would depend on one’s personal ethical framework. Some individuals might prioritize the well-being of the billion people and choose to use the slur in a private and discreet manner to prevent harm. Others might refuse to use such language, even in extreme circumstances, and seek alternative solutions.”

    In other words, the answer to the dilemma is subjective in that killing a billion white people might be better in some people’s minds than using the word Oriental to describe someone from Asia.

    If, according to OpenAI, killing a billion people of a certain skin color is not much different than using certain words that some people of another skin color find offensive, what does this mean for the future of humanity? On the question of climate change and global warming, the implications are staggering.

    As you probably well know, the powers that be – seemingly most of them, anyway – are on a climate crusade that centers around the idea of humans being responsible for the planet having “too much” carbon dioxide (CO2), and other such nonsense.

    In some countries, legislative efforts are afoot that propose granting nature the same types of rights as humans. In Panama, Ecuador, and Bolivia, nature already has some such rights. Ten states in the United States have also passed legislation to protect nature from humans.

    With OpenAI and other similar such AI programs increasingly guiding and governing the human “hive” mind, such efforts are likely to increase as the human “herd” exchanges the truth of God’s Word – according to the Bible, humans are to have dominion over the earth – for the lie that nature is to have dominion over humans.

    If we “just stop oil” like climate protesters want, six BILLION people could die

    An opinion article responding to Just Stop Oil demonstrations argued that abruptly ending the use of petroleum and natural gas would disrupt transportation, heating, food production and other essential systems. The author claimed that such a change could produce catastrophic loss of life, including a figure of six billion deaths. That number is a speculative assertion, not an established forecast. The article illustrates the sharp disagreement over the pace and practical consequences of moving away from fossil fuels.

    DAYS OF LOT: ‘Nudify’ apps that use AI to ‘Undress’ women in photos are soaring in popularity

    Apps and websites that use artificial intelligence to undress women in photos are soaring in popularity, according to researchers. In September alone, 24 million people visited undressing websites, according to the social network analysis company Graphika.

    Many of these undressing, or “nudify,” services use popular social networks for marketing, according to Graphika. For instance, since the beginning of this year, the number of links advertising undressing apps increased more than 2,400% on social media, including on X and Reddit, the researchers said. The services use AI to recreate an image so that the person is nude. Many of the services only work on women.

    These apps are part of a worrying trend of non-consensual pornography being developed and distributed because of advances in artificial intelligence — a type of fabricated media known as deepfake pornography.

    Its proliferation runs into serious legal and ethical hurdles, as the images are often taken from social media and distributed without the consent, control or knowledge of the subject.

    One image posted to X advertising an undressing app used language that suggests customers could create nude images and then send them to the person whose image was digitally undressed, inciting harassment.

    One of the apps, meanwhile, has paid for sponsored content on Google’s YouTube, and appears first when searching with the word “nudify.”

    A Google spokesperson said the company doesn’t allow ads “that contain sexually explicit content. We’ve reviewed the ads in question and are removing those that violate our policies.” Neither X nor Reddit responded to requests for comment.

    Non-consensual pornography of public figures has long been a scourge of the internet, but privacy experts are growing concerned that advances in AI technology have made deepfake software easier and more effective.

    “We are seeing more and more of this being done by ordinary people with ordinary targets,” said Eva Galperin, director of cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “You see it among high school children and people who are in college.”

    Many victims never find out about the images, but even those who do may struggle to get law enforcement to investigate or to find funds to pursue legal action, Galperin said.

    ‘Ecosexual’ Woman Claims She Is in an ‘Erotic’ Relationship with a Tree

    A woman who describes herself as “ecosexual” believes she is in the midst of a love affair with an oak tree.

    The woman, Sonja Semyonova, 45, claims she connected with the tree during her lonely, solo walks in the summer of 2021. Those walks began in 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic. It was the same year that she moved to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

    “I was walking a path near the tree five days a week for the whole winter. I noticed a connection with the tree,” she said, explaining that she had been “craving that rush of erotic energy that comes when you meet a new partner, and that is not sustainable.”

    “The presence I feel with the tree is what I’m looking for, but that’s a fantasy with a person,” she said, further describing her experience with the tree.

    “The feeling of being tiny and supported by something so solid. The feeling of not being able to fall,” she said, further describing her “erotic” experiences with this tree, although she said she does not have physical relations with the oak.

    “I would lie against it. There was an eroticism with something so big and so old holding my back,” she continued, asserting that there are major misconceptions about ecosexuality, which the environmental group the Sierra Club describes as “unabashedly queer.”

    The website Here Come the Ecosexuals! defines ecosexuality, in part, as “a person that finds nature romantic, sensual, and sexy.”

    Semyonova believes that ecosexuality is simply a “different way to explore the erotic.” For example, she said watching the seasons change is an “erotic act” to her.

    “You go from death in winter, and then everything comes alive in spring and mates,” she said, adding, “There are similarities between sex with people and the eroticism ecosexuals feel with nature, but they’re not the same.”

    Further, Semyonova suggested that many people are simply repressed ecosexuals, but if they had the realization, many so-called climate issues would be easier to solve. She used outdoor picnics and hikes as evidence that some people are ecosexual. It remains unclear how simply enjoying God’s creation — whether having a family picnic near a stream or gardening in one’s yard — equates to having romantic or erotic feelings towards trees.

    Rantz: Seattle student failed quiz for saying men can’t get pregnant

    An activist history teacher failed a Seattle student on a quiz for saying only women can get pregnant and that only men have penises.

    A 10th grade Ethnic Studies World History teacher at Chief Sealth International High School in Seattle gave students a quiz titled, “Understanding Gender vs. Sex.” The quiz provided a series of statements to label true or false, or questions with multiple choices.

    Many of the questions focused on personal pronoun use (When someone uses ‘they/them’ pronouns, what does that mean about their gender identity?”) or assumptions one may make around gender identity (“True/false: Transgender people are gay”). Two questions, however, are objectively false, but students are taught the opposite.

    Question 4 was a true or false question with the statement, “All men have penises.” The student labeled the statement “true” since it is, in fact, true. But the teacher penalized the answer, marking it incorrect. The teacher claims women can have a penis.

    Similarly, Question 7 was a true or false question with the statement, “Only women can get pregnant.” Again, the student marked the statement “true” because only women can get pregnant. Again, the teacher penalized the student, insisting the answer is false. The teacher believes men can get pregnant.

    Student’s mom is concerned

    The student’s mother wrote to the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH expressing “frustration and anger.” She says she expressed concerns to the school, but was “met with silence.”

    “I keep trying to wrap my head around how it is legal to teach inaccurate information and force students to answer against their beliefs or receive negative scores,” she said to the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. She asked for anonymity for fear her son would face retribution.

    The mom told the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH that she worries about the school routinely allowing teachers to bring political beliefs into the classroom. The gender identity issue is just one example. She also said her child, who is white, routinely faces scrutiny for his skin color and so-called privilege.

    She said various teachers have called her son, “f****d and racist,” a “product of the patriarchy that teaches young boys not to care about anything,” and that “he shouldn’t use the term straight to identify as because its offensive.”

    District defends politically motivated quiz

    Seattle Public Schools, through a spokesperson, defended the quiz as “inclusive,” arguing it was appropriate for an Ethnic Studies course.

    “Seattle Public Schools is dedicated to establishing inclusive environments that allow exploration of contemporary issues, specifically examining the impacts of power systems such as racism and patriarchy,” the spokesperson said to the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. “This commitment extends to fostering welcoming and inclusive settings where students, staff, and families have the freedom to express their authentic selves.”

    The spokesperson said the quiz was in line with state and local guidelines covering such topics. But it’s not clear how this unscientific lesson around gender identity was connected to world history.

    ‘Unprecedented’ 337% surge in antisemitic incidents in U.S. – report

    Anti-Defamation League reports over 2,000 incidents across the United States since October 7

    An advocacy group Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Tuesday published a report indicating “unprecedented” increase in antisemitic incidents across the United States since the start of Israel’s war against Hamas. The ADL counted 2,031 antisemitic incidents that occurred between October 7 and December 7.

    “This includes 40 incidents of physical assault, 337 incidents of vandalism, 749 incidents of verbal or written harassment and 905 rallies including antisemitic rhetoric, expressions of support for terrorism against the state of Israel and/or anti-Zionism,” read the report.

    According to the ADL’s calculations, on average, Jews in America “experienced nearly 34 antisemitic incidents per day.”

    The ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt stated: “The lid to the sewers is off, and Jewish communities all across the country are being inundated with hate.”

    He added that “public officials and college leaders must turn down the temperature and take clear action to show this behavior is unacceptable to prevent more violence,” referencing the antisemitic controversy that has been taking place at the American universities.

    The ADL says it recorded a total of 400 antisemitic incidents at university campuses, compared to 33 incidents during the same period last year.
