Twitter Files Part III: Twitter Worked In Coordination With U.S. Government To Censor Content During 2020 Election

The third installment of the so-called “Twitter Files” released Friday night showed that federal agencies were in contact with Twitter during the 2020 presidential election and were involved in censoring content on the platform.

The thread, which journalist Matt Taibbi took nearly three hours to post in full, contained a great deal of valuable information, but also some significant errors — ranging from appearing to not accurately describe some of the content to calling Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) a “congresswoman” to calling Mike Huckabee the former governor of Arizona.

Despite these errors and others, much of the information that was released was stunning as it confirmed long held suspicions about things that were going on at the company, including the revelation that executives sometimes went against their own policies when determining to censor former President Donald Trump, as well as the fact that all the censorship appeared to come solely from the political Left and government entities and was aimed at the political Right.

The third installment of the Twitter Files centered around the lead-up to Twitter’s decision to permanently ban the former president on January 8, 2021, following the riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.

‘Nothing Left Of The Enemy’: Putin Considers Preemptive Nuclear Strike Doctrine, Boasts Russian Cruise Missiles Surpass U.S. Equivalents

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that his country could adopt the doctrine of preemptive nuclear strikes while boasting that Russia’s cruise missile capabilities surpass those of the U.S.

Speaking at a summit of former Soviet nations in Kyrgyzstan, the Russian dictator referred to what he called America’s preemptive nuclear strike doctrine, saying that Russia is “thinking about” implementing something similar. Currently, Russian military doctrine states that Moscow can use a nuclear strike if the country comes under nuclear attack or the existence of the country is threatened.

“Speaking about a disarming strike, maybe it’s worth thinking about adopting the ideas developed by our U.S. counterparts, their ideas of ensuring their security,” Putin remarked with a smile, according to the Associated Press.

In October, the Pentagon rejected any limits on using nuclear weapons in its new National Defense Strategy, Bloomberg reported. Officials mentioned international threats from Russia and China as the reason for the refusal.

“[B]y the 2030s the United States will, for the first time in its history face two major nuclear powers as strategic competitors and potential adversaries,” the Pentagon said, adding that the U.S. will “maintain a very high bar for nuclear employment.”

Adding Cinnamon to Your Daily Diet May Help Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease

Cinnamon is the second most popular spice after black pepper in the United States, especially during fall and winter. People enjoy using cinnamon to elevate the taste of food. Did you know the cinnamon in your favorite gingerbread latte was once considered a rare, high-end, luxurious item only noble pharaohs could enjoy?

In ancient China, cinnamon was widely used for treating multiple diseases. Recent studies have found that cinnamon has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-tumor effects. It reduces the risk of diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

What’s Cinnamon?

Cinnamon is the dried bark of cinnamon trees. It belongs to Cinnamomum camphora (L.) Presl spruces. Cinnamon has been used worldwide for thousands of years. It was documented even in the Bible and ancient books of Egypt and China.

In Egypt, people would incorporate cinnamon for preservation and religious rituals. Among Europeans in the Middle Ages, having cinnamon showed off your societal status if you could afford it.

In ancient China, according to the book “The Divine Farmer’s Classic of Materia Medica” which is a most important classic in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), cinnamon carries a spicy, warm, nontoxic flavor. In TCM, cinnamon is a medicinal herb for warming the spleen, kidney, heart, and liver meridians and unblocking veins. Cinnamon is also a natural pain killer and is widely used for treating multiple diseases.

TCM has discovered that there are 12 “meridians” in the human body, including lung meridian, large intestine meridian, stomach meridian, spleen meridian, heart meridian, small intestine meridian, bladder meridian, kidney meridian, pericardium meridian, triple heater (san jiao) meridian, gallbladder meridian, liver meridian.

Census: Christians a minority in England; non-religious grow

Fewer than half the people in England and Wales consider themselves Christian, according to the most recent census — the first time a minority of the population has followed the country’s official religion.

Britain has become less religious — and less white — in the decade since the last census, figures from the 2021 census released Tuesday by the Office for National Statistics revealed.

Some 46.2% of the population of England and Wales described themselves as Christian on the day of the 2021 census, down from 59.3% a decade earlier. The Muslim population grew from 4.9% to 6.5% of the total, while 1.7% identified as Hindu, up from 1.5%.

More than 1 in 3 people — 37% — said they had no religion, up from 25% in 2011.

The other parts of the U.K., Scotland and Northern Ireland, report their census results separately.

Secularism campaigners said the shift should trigger a rethink of the way religion is entrenched in British society. The U.K. has state-funded Church of England schools, Anglican bishops sit in Parliament’s upper chamber, and the monarch is “defender of the faith” and supreme governor of the church.

Federal Reserve set to introduce privacy-crushing digital currency that can be ‘controlled’ and ‘programmed’ by government bureaucrats

When Barack Obama was in the White House and Democrats controlled Congress for his first two years in office, they passed a bill dubbed “Obamacare” that was the first step toward giving federal government bureaucrats complete control over Americans’ health care.

Since all Americans require medical care during their lives, the move was seen by critics as the ultimate authoritarian move; after all, if the government controls all healthcare decisions, tyrannical government bureaucrats could then begin to dictate behaviors and reward or punish people based on behavior.

Now, the government is attempting yet another major authoritarian move: The creation of a “digital currency” with the endgame objective being to control behaviors through “programmable” money that can influence and/or block certain spending habits.

“The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Innovation Center, or NYIC, announced that it would be launching a 12-week proof-of-concept pilot for a central bank digital currency, or CBDC,” Coin Telegraph reported this week.

The outlet continued: “In a Nov. 15 announcement, the New York Fed said the program would explore the feasibility of an ‘interoperable network of central bank wholesale digital money and commercial bank digital money operating on a shared multi-entity distributed ledger’ on a regulated liability network. Banking giants including BNY Mellon, Citi, HSBC, Mastercard, PNC Bank, TD Bank, Truist, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo will be participating in the pilot by issuing tokens and settling transactions through simulated central bank reserves.”

Globalist “utopia” is driving mankind to self-extinction, just like what was seen in Calhoun’s mouse experiments

(Natural News) The world we currently live in is the antithesis of freedom. It is an engineered globalist experiment involving “caged” living; fake, chemical-laden “food;” social media and technological authoritarianism; and an endless supply of fake fiat “money” that the globalist overlords use to rob the masses and amass more power for themselves. The result of all this will be self-extinction, as demonstrated in scientist John Calhoun’s 1960s “mouse utopia” experiment.

That experiment, in case you are unfamiliar with it, involved caging thousands of mice in a giant box and giving them seemingly everything they could ever need – at least from the experimenter’s perspective. They were given all the food and water they could ever want, easily accessible to them, while being insulated from the normal predators these rodents would encounter out in the wild.

Initially, the mice living in this utopia appeared to thrive. They ate and drank to their heart’s content, reproduced abundantly, and lived happy-seeming lives. Over time, however, problems began to arise, resulting in population declines and an eventual trend towards self-annihilation and extinction.

Calhoun replicated his experiment multiple times using both mice and rats, and the outcome was the same every time: full-on extinction within 1,588 days. It turns out that small rodents were not meant to live in confined spaces, even when there is seemingly enough of it to go around for everyone.

According to bioethicist Jan Kuba, Calhoun’s “mouse utopia” experiments are “one of the most important in human history” because there are parallels that can be drawn from them that also apply to modern humanity. The modern West, heavily controlled by globalists who are constantly socially engineering the herd to live and behave in certain ways, is much like Calhoun’s artificial mouse societies – and it appears to be leading towards the same end.

People living in the United States today can, for the most part, get as much junk food as they want, either with their own labor or with “food stamps.” This food, laden with chemical poisons, rots away their health, causing many of them to become dependent on pharmaceutical drugs, which is little more than globalist sorcery (pharmakeia) posing as “medicine.”

Bad food and synthetic drugs are just two components of society’s engineered breakdown, but they are important ones because they are both easily accessible without much of a fight. Nobody in America has to fight for either like they would food and herbal medicine out in the wild, were we still a hunter-and-gatherer society.

12 Indications The World Is Rapidly Running Out Of Normal

Many people say that today is no different than any other time in history. “Sure, things look bad now, but this was also the case during World Wars I and II. Things have a way of working out so that things eventually return to some semblance of normal.”

I understand why many question Jesus’ soon return given the fact that it’s been two thousand years since He promised to return.

In spite of the long wait, I’m convinced that Jesus’ appearing is imminent because of the myriad of signs telling us that the Tribulation period is right on our doorstep.

I have compiled a list of 12 signs that tell us we are rapidly running out of normal.

If you are weary of waiting and long for the day when you will meet Jesus in the air, I am writing to encourage you; He’s coming soon.

If you doubt that the Rapture will happen anytime soon, please take some time to review the following points and read the supporting links.

1. ISRAEL’S MIRACULOUS REBIRTH AS A NATION

Did you know that Isaac Newton predicted that Israel would reappear as a nation? Based on his in-depth study of the books of Daniel and Revelation, he made that startling prediction over 250 years before it happened.

Newton correctly recognized that the fulfillment of biblical end times prophecies requires Israel’s renewed existence. He also wrote that Israel would build a third temple once it became a nation.[i]

On May 14, 1948, Israel miraculously became a nation again. The amazing rebirth of Israel fulfilled the words of Isaiah 66:8, which predicted that it would happen in a “day.” Only God could resurrect a nation that had not existed for two-thousand years, supernaturally protect it amid countless wars, and bring it to a place of prosperity such as Israel enjoys today.

Did I mention that only God could do such a thing?

Israel’s remarkable rebirth makes today different than any time previous to May 1948.

Putin Reportedly Tumbles Down Stairs, Soils Himself As Health Concerns Spiral

Vladimir Putin fell down a flight of stairs and soiled his pants earlier this week, prompting more rumors about his deteriorating health, according to a Telegram channel that claims to have sources close to the Russian president.

The 70-year-old leader reportedly took the tumble at his official residence in Moscow Wednesday night, according to the Telegram channel General SVR, which is allegedly operated by an ex-Russian spy. The account said Putin, whose health has been the subject of speculation since he ordered the Russian army to invade Ukraine in February, fell down five steps and landed on his tailbone.

“Three bodyguards helped the president get to the nearest couch and summoned medics, who are on duty at the residence,” the report claimed. “Nothing critical, the president’s condition closer to nighttime was stable, he can get around on his own, with pain in the coccyx area while sitting being the only thing that bothers him.”

Putin has appeared bloated and shaky in numerous videotaped meetings over the last year, often gripping his chair or a table in an apparent bid to steady himself. Some Kremlin watchers have attributed Putin’s puffy appearance to cancer treatments, although Moscow has not confirmed any health issues besetting the KGB agent-turned strongman.

General SVR claimed that the fall caused Putin to “involuntarily defecate” due to “cancer affecting his stomach and bowels.” The report also said a special investigation was being conducted to determine why Putin, who reportedly wears special shoes designed to keep him steady, had fallen.

On Thursday, Putin was seen touring a science facility in Moscow, none the worse for wear.

Upon Further Review, Obama’s ‘Crazy’ ‘Uncle Joe’ Snub Was No Accident In Georgia

Thursday night, former President Barack Obama made a dig at Georgia’s GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker by comparing him to an all-too-familiar “Uncle Joe” who says “crazy stuff” and is given no “serious responsibilities.”

This author’s knee-jerk conclusion was that Obama made a Freudian slip and was unwittingly describing the possibly-senile President Joe Biden. That was a naive conclusion for several reasons.

For context, here is the relevant portion of the quote:

“We all know some folks in our lives, who we don’t wish them ill will. They say crazy stuff and we’re all like, ‘Well, Uncle Joe, you know what happened to him.’ They’re part of the family, but you don’t give them serious responsibilities.”

Upon further review, there is no way that Obama’s “crazy” “Uncle Joe” comment was an accident in Georgia.

Why?

Well, to start off, Obama is the greatest fraud ever foisted onto the American public. Biden is a close second, albeit for different reasons.

If media reports are to be believed, the American public knows that Biden wasn’t Obama’s first choice in either 2016 or 2020. He reportedly told fellow Democrats to never underestimate Biden’s ability to “f*** things up.”

As others have said, Biden’s time in office has been Obama’s third term. If the 44th president isn’t calling the shots directly, Biden’s staff is certainly littered with allies of the Left-wing president who are implementing the radical agenda that he started back in 2008.

Obama, for his part, likely feels comfortable enjoying his millions in Martha’s Vineyard because he knows the presidency is in good hands — just not “crazy” Uncle Joe’s.

Planned Parenthood Exec Said Children Are Born ‘Sexual,’ Wants Kid Porn Literacy Lessons

Newly unearthed comments have sparked backlash.

A Planned Parenthood executive has sparked backlash for saying that children are “sexual” from birth and calling for porn literacy lessons for older children.

Bill Taverner, executive director of the New Jersey-based Center for Sex Education, Planned Parenthood’s sex education arm, made the newly unearthed comments in a 2015 interview, Fox News first reported.

“I think that we unfortunately have in our society, an assumption of asexuality of people with intellectual disabilities,” Taverner told the interviewer, sexuality consultant Leslie Walker-Hirsch.

“It’s a myth that’s perpetuated, and really we are all sexual beings from birth until death,” Taverner said.

Planned Parenthood itself echoed this sentiment in a guide called the “Fundamentals of Teaching Sexuality,” stating that, “sexuality is a part of life through all the ages and stages. Babies, elders, and everyone in between can experience sexuality.”

In a 2012 interview, Taverner appeared to imply that some pornography exposure could be “useful” for older children.

“I think that there’s this yearning for information that young people have that … hasn’t changed,” Taverner said in the interview, which was hosted by a local New Jersey chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW).

“I think that the internet is a major influence on how people learn about sexuality,” Taverner said. “There’s access to erotica, pornography. That was very different for young people 30 years ago, certainly not as accessible, certainly not as instantaneous. So there’s a lot of information that is useful, there’s websites that are —”

“Some of it is wrong,” interrupted the interviewer, NOW’s Rebecca Lubetkin.

“Some of it is wrong, a lot of it is wrong, but there’s good stuff out there as well,” Taverner responded.
