Defence: is the EU creating a European army?

While there is no EU army and defence remains exclusively a matter for member states, the EU has taken big steps to boost defence cooperation in the past few years.

Since 2016, there has been significant progress in the area of EU security and defence with several concrete EU initiatives to encourage cooperation and reinforce Europe’s capacity to defend itself. Read the overview of the latest developments.

High expectations for EU defence

The vast majority of EU citizens (81%) are in favour of a common defence and security policy, with at least two thirds backing it in each country, according to 2022 data published by Eurobarometer. Some 93% agree that countries should act together to defend EU territory, while 85% think that co-operation on defence should be increased at EU level.

EU leaders realise that no EU country can tackle the current security threats in isolation. For example French President Macron called for a joint European military project in 2017, while former German chancellor Merkel said “we ought to work on the vision of one day establishing a proper European army” in her address to the European Parliament in November 2018. Moving towards a security and defence union has been one of the priorities of the von der Leyen Commission.

EU measures to boost defence cooperation

A common EU defence policy is provided for by the Treaty of Lisbon (Article 42(2) TEU). However, the treaty also clearly states the importance of national defence policy, including Nato membership or neutrality. The European Parliament has consistently supported more cooperation, increased investment and pooling of resources to create synergies at EU level to better protect Europeans.

Transhumanism: Globalists Promise To ‘Improve’ On God’s Design Of Man

It sounds like bad science fiction, but it is rapidly becoming reality. Some of the most powerful people on the planet think they are going to “upgrade” human beings — or at least some human beings — through genetic engineering and technological schemes such as “brain implants.” Yes, really. In fact, they are publicly touting alleged benefits, supposedly including eternal life, and even evolving into “gods.”

If that all sounds crazy or even diabolical — good, it should, because it is. And yet, the technologies to make some of these nightmarish visions possible are progressing so fast it would make your brain spin. In some cases, the tech already exists. Meanwhile, children around the world are being prepared to embrace it through public schools and “entertainment.”

World Economic Forum chief Klaus Schwab, the global frontman for the so-called “Great Reset,” has been celebrating it all for years as part of what he calls the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” In his book on the subject and in speeches, Schwab outlined a plan to merge people with computer technologies, brain implants, and even to genetically “improve” them.

“Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies will not stop at becoming part of the physical world around us — they will become part of us,” Schwab writes in his book Shaping the Future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a narrative that he has been peddling for almost a decade in speeches, articles, essays, and books. “Indeed, some of us already feel that our smartphones have become an extension of ourselves.”

“Today’s external devices — from wearable computers to virtual reality headsets — will almost certainly become implantable in our bodies and brains,” he continues in the book. “These implantable devices will likely also help to communicate thoughts normally expressed verbally through a ‘built-in’ smartphone, and potentially unexpressed thoughts or moods by reading brain waves and other signals.”

Schwab, who oversees a sprawling organization bringing together political and business leaders from around the world, goes on to suggest that governments can and perhaps should mandate submission to such intrusive technology. “As capabilities in this area improve, the temptation for law enforcement agencies and courts to use techniques to determine the likelihood of criminal activity, assess guilt or even possibly retrieve memories directly from people’s brains will increase,” adds the professor, saying governments could even require “a detailed brain scan to assess an individual’s security risk.”

Eventually, humans will merge with technology and become one with it, according to Schwab. “At the end, what the Fourth Industrial Revolution will lead to is a fusion of our physical, our digital, and our biological identities,” he declared at a speech at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and many since then. And he means it, too.

Technological upgrades and implants:

Under the guise of “convenience,” thousands of Swedes have already implanted microchips in their hands. These RFID chips can and do function as vaccine passports, money, and keys all rolled into one.

Meanwhile, the “mainstream” media has been marketing the chips to Americans for years. There should be no doubt that this will accelerate as governments and central banks around the world move against cash in favor of “digital payments” while the World Health Organization advances global digital “health” certificates. At some point, refusing to have one may make it difficult to operate in society or even to buy and sell.

But the microchips under the skin are just one small step compared to what transhumanist advocates are planning. Already, government schools are using technological tools that can peer into the minds of children. Around ten years ago, the U.S. Department of “Education” issued a report titled “Enhancing, Teaching and Learning Through Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics,” offering a sneak preview into the future.

‘People Of Faith Are Not Second-Class Citizens’: SEC Is Throttling Religious Shareholders, ADF Warns

Alliance Defending Freedom submitted a friend-of-the-court brief Friday in National Center for Public Policy Research v. Securities and Exchange Commission asking the court to hold the SEC accountable for engaging in viewpoint discrimination against religious shareholders of publicly traded companies.

Filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, the ADF brief explains that the court should provide constitutionally required guardrails on SEC rulemaking and application, which in recent years has been abused to censor religious shareholder proposals based on viewpoint.

“Americans count on the SEC to be a viewpoint-neutral referee, but officials are showing up wearing one of the team’s jerseys,” said ADF Senior Counsel and Senior Vice President for Corporate Engagement Jeremy Tedesco. “As a government agency, the SEC is bound by the First Amendment. It can’t pick and choose which viewpoints get a hearing in the public square. Every shareholder deserves a voice—not just those who happen to agree with the government’s current views on a hot-button issue.”

Courts require “narrow, objective, and definite” limitations to protect viewpoint neutrality when government officials have the power to grant or deny “prior permission,” as with shareholder proposals. But the SEC has created its own “significant social policy” test to determine which proposals reach ballots at annual shareholder meetings. As the ADF brief points out, since 2018, the SEC has allowed corporations to keep conservative proposals off the ballot 72% of the time—26% more frequently than those originating from progressive viewpoints.

Although the SEC denied requests from JPMorgan Chase and PayPal to keep shareholder resolutions on viewpoint diversity off the 2023 ballots, the agency’s decision to grant similar requests to multiple companies—including Kroger, American Express, Apple, Alphabet, and Walgreens—prompted a lawsuit from the National Center for Public Policy Research and other individual shareholders.

An AI Program Is Pretending to Be Jesus and Thousands of Lost Young People Are Flocking to It

There’s an event recorded in the Gospel of Matthew in which Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, and his disciples asked him what the sign of the end of the age would be.

Jesus replied, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.”

At least one of those deceivers is turning out to be an AI called “ask_jesus.”

According to The Independent, a Berlin-based tech collective has developed a chatbot resembling Jesus Christ, which already has thousands of followers seeking advice and guidance.

The chatbot, referred to as “AI Jesus,” has the appearance of a bearded white man with a radiant halo and utilizes artificial intelligence reportedly trained on the teachings of Jesus and the Bible.

Operating under the Twitch channel name “ask_jesus,” the live stream has amassed a following of over 36,000 devoted users. Viewers are encouraged to pose their questions to the “AI Jesus,” who responds with gestures and answers, providing advice on topics ranging from gaming to relationships.

The chatbot has the ability to remember previous interactions with the user which gives it a false sense of omniscience.

The ask_jesus AI was created by The Singularity Group, a team of self-described “driven and ambitious volunteer activists working on innovative projects to make a real difference in the world.”

A closer look at the “projects” page on the group’s website reveals their interest in “tech philanthropy.” The website also claims to be “using innovative technologies such as the PRPS & DUBI blockchain tokens alongside the Giving Works charity” towards “a universal basic income for all.”

That doesn’t sound suspicious at all.

Fans of the ask_jesus praise the ‘realism’ of “AI Jesus,” who offers moral and ethical advice. But its zen approach to the questions makes it sound far more like Deepak Chopra than Jesus Christ. Which, I guess, is the point.

For instance, one user asked it about gay marriage, and it gave them the noncommittal “all love is love” answer, staying politically correct at all times.

Days Of Lot: The Floodgates Of Moral Pollution Have Been Thrown Wide Open

It’s a flashing sign of the times that the days of Lot are upon us. “Gay Pride Month” now seems like every month, and this scourge upon our nation is being celebrated and pushed to an extreme degree.

Some saddening statistics have recently come out about what’s happening in our country. The statistics say a record 7.2% of US adults here in America are non-binary, transgender, or same-sex attracted, with some believing the number to be as high as 10%.

These are staggering and shocking numbers about the moral pollution in our society.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, in 2019, signed a law implanting LGBTQ inclusive curriculum in the state in grades five to twelve. They were the second state, after California, to do this. Since that time, the number of self-identifying non-binary students in New Jersey is up 4,000%.

In the 2019-2020 school year, there were 16 students in New Jersey that identified as non-binary. In 2022-2023, it skyrocketed to 675 students, 41 of which are in elementary school.

It was reported that 40% of students at Brown University, an Ivy League school in Rhode Island, identify as LGBTQ, which is double from the year 2020 and almost triple from 2010 when the number sat at 14%.

Here’s another statistic that is stunning to me. 30% of Millennials, those born from 1984 to 2002 (the era of my two sons and daughters-in-law), self-identify as non-binary. It gets even worse. In Gen Z, which is those born around the year 2000 and beyond, 40% identify as non-binary.

Now listen to this. 30% of young professing Christians, according to the study, identify as LGBTQ. I say “professing Christians” because, obviously, many of them are not genuine believers and don’t understand what the Bible says.

Those studies reveal what we see happening in our culture today—the floodgates have been thrown wide open.

A Social, Psychological, & Spiritual Battle

Why is this happening? Well, I think there are several reasons, including psychological and social explanations, but ultimately, there’s a spiritual force behind this, and that is Satan himself. Satan is striking the heart of humanity.

Human beings are made in God’s image. We’re the crown of God’s creation, and Satan wants to do all he can to mar the image of God and humanity. He did it dramatically in the fall (Genesis 2), and since that time, he’s been trying to twist God’s creation.

People are rebelling against God, which is where it ultimately started. It’s self-worship. It’s the cult of self, where an individual determines their morality, their gender, and their sexual preference, and not God.

There’s an element here of what I would call “social contagion” passed from one person to another. So many young people today don’t have any hope, meaning, or purpose in their lives. They’re seeking a community, and many are seeking attention. In this victim group, they can be welcomed in and get that attention, which is drawing many people to this movement.

The problem is, it’s not really an issue of their body; rather, it is more an issue of their mind and soul. Once entering this movement, they ultimately find that it also doesn’t bring hope, joy, purpose, and meaning. Some undergo radical surgeries that have changed them, and they’re plunged into even deeper distress.

Ray Stedman, a well-known pastor from California, said years ago, “When people forsake God, they lose the sense of their own worth.” As a culture today, we’ve lost God, and as a result, people have lost themselves and are trying to find something to give meaning and purpose.

Global Digital Passports Hold Grave Implications For Americans And The World

Certain powerful people worldwide have been advocating for a global government. Such governance would allow for only a small group of individuals to control the entire planet. World domination has long been the goal of despots and dictators throughout human history. Today we are seeing a global government being ushered in — right before our very eyes!

To help us understand this shifting political landscape, I sought out a very special guest who has just returned from a meeting of the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann served for a number of years in the U.S. House of Representatives before running for President of the United States. She continues to serve as the dean of the Robertson School of Government and remains a strong voice for conservative and Christian principles here in America and around the world.

Congresswoman Bachmann, please tell us what you experienced when you traveled to Geneva, Switzerland to join the audience listening in to all of the plans being presented by the World Health Organization (W.H.O.).

Michele Bachmann: I went to Geneva for the purpose of watching, observing, and seeing what the World Health Organization is presenting. They weren’t shy nor reticent about telling us exactly how their plans have been proceeding.

What was very sad to me is that there wasn’t one member of the U.S. House of Representatives there attending this meeting. There wasn’t one member of the United States Senate who was there. The politicians manage to fly their airplanes to attend World Economic Forum meetings, but they didn’t attend this important meeting.

It’s a shame, for this meeting presented such profound consequences for every person on the earth because the plan envisions every single person coming under the dominion and control of the World Health Organization. Just one week after the World Health Assembly concluded, they dropped an absolute bombshell. A press letter went out that claimed the European Union has already developed a global digital passport that would regulate our health status and so the ability for people to take transportation. This global digital passport, which essentially would be a scannable QR code issued by your mobile phone, would reveal if the individual is in compliance with the mandates of the World Health Organization and so has permission to be able to travel and have the freedom to move about.

The World Health Organization didn’t wait to pass amendments or seek a global treaty. W.H.O. announced on June 5, 2023, that they are adopting the system Europe has already come up with. This decision will automatically cover 80 out of the 194 countries. So, the question is, when will the United States enter into this system?

How do you enforce a global government? The answer is through a global digital passport. This has become a reality!

BEAST MODE: Colorado Begins Mark Of The Beast ‘Proving Grounds’ As Amazon One Allows Payments With Your Palm At 11 Whole Foods Locations

Whole Foods Markets in the greater Denver area is now taking cashless palm payments through Amazon One at 11 of their store locations. Remind you of anything?

My daughter Megan, who is expecting and on our prayer list, sent me a text message with some crazy photos late last night about her incredible experience at their local Whole Foods store in Colorado. She went to check out and noticed, for the first time, that her Whole Foods was now using Amazon One for payments, and one of the options offered to her was to make a palm payment. Today it’s a payment through the front of your hand, and very soon it will be a payment through the back of your right hand or forehead. Guaranteed. We first reported that this was coming back on September 6, 2019. It’s here.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right handor in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16,17 (KJB)

If you’re lost and reading this, you chuckle and wonder what all the fuss is about. To you, technology is a good thing, and the faster it gets here the easier and more comfortable your life will be. But to the born again Bible believer, we are watching the ongoing fulfilling of Bible prophecy in real-time, like the scene from ‘The Matrix’ where Neo is so in tune he’s watching the flurry of bullets coming at him as if in slow-motion. That’s you if you’re saved and believing The Book. You’ve been waiting for it, watching for it, and now that it’s arriving none of this is any surprise at all. Did you know that the word ‘amazon’ refers to the daughters of Ares, the god of war in Greek mythology? They lived in the region of modern-day Ukraine, and no, I’m not making this up. So you have Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, their new payment system is called ‘One’, as in One World, and you pay with the palm of your hand. Got it.

Yep, I see itDo you?

Illegal immigrant kids with tuberculosis infections released into 44 states

The government is releasing thousands of illegal immigrant children with latent tuberculosis infections into American communities without assurances of treatment.

Nearly 2,500 children with latent infections were released into 44 states over the past year, according to a court-ordered report on how the Health and Human Services Department is treating the children.

About 126,000 total were released, indicating an infection rate of 1 in 50 migrant children.

The government says it can’t treat the children because they are in custody for a short time and treatment requires three to nine months. HHS releases infected children to sponsors and notifies local health authorities in the hope that they can arrange for treatment before the latent infection becomes active.

Those hopes are often dashed.

Local health officials say the notifications are infrequent and the child has often already arrived when they are told about a case in their jurisdiction.

“We do not know how often the sponsors follow through on treatment,” the Virginia Department of Health told The Washington Times in a statement. “By the time outreach takes place, the child has sometimes moved to another area or state.”

FrankenMeats are here: Soybeans are being genetically engineered to grow pig protein

A company out of the UK – Moolec – has developed a new line of soybeans called Piggy Sooy. These new soybeans are genetically engineered to produce pig proteins. The new soybean crops will be harvested traditionally and will be incorporated into “plant-based meats” and other substitute meat products. Researchers are warning about the genetic and generational consequences of these experimental gene edits.

Soybeans and other common crops to be replaced with genetically engineered meat substitute crops

Moolec is poised to profit from the latest CRISPR-Cas gene-editing experiment that effectively splices conventional soya to create a soybean with 26.6 percent animal protein. Due to the gene edits, the interior portion of this new soybean hybrid presents a rosy flesh color. The company claims that these new hybrids will provide similar taste, texture, and nutritional value as animal meat. The company is currently working on a pea plant that produces cow protein. The exact animal genes used in these experiments are considered trade secrets.

“Moolec has developed a unique, successful, and patentable platform for the expression of highly valuable proteins in the seeds of economically important crops such as soybeans,’ says Amit Dhingra, the company’s chief science officer. “This achievement opens up a precedent for the entire scientific community that is looking to achieve high levels of protein expression in seeds via molecular farming.”

These new Frankenfoods are designed to be the “alternative” to traditional meat, which includes raising and slaughtering pigs/cows for human consumption. Animal husbandry is now considered a threat to the climate and is being phased out all around the world to make way for the globalists’ genetic experimentation and control over the food supply. These new Frankenfoods are intended to provide more options for consumers who might reject lab-grown, petri-dish meat strains that are also currently in production. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently authorized the sale of cell-cultivated chicken on June 21. Chicken meat will soon be grown from stem cells in a bioreactor.

Study warns that CRISP-Cas gene editing of plants will have dire consequences

CRISPR-Cas gene editing wreaks havoc in the plant genome, as documented in a new study – A CRISPR-induced DNA break can trigger crossover, chromosomal loss, and chromothripsis-like rearrangements. It turns out there are alarming issues that come from genetic experiments involving plant and animal gene splicing.

“Recent scientific findings have revealed chromothripsis-like effects after the application of CRISPR/Cas gene editing in the genome of tomatoes … Chromothripsis refers to a phenomenon in which often several hundred genetic changes occur simultaneously in a catastrophic event. Many sections of the genetic material can be swapped, recombined, or even lost if this occurs …” The same phenomenon of gene swapping, gene recombination, and gene loss also occurs in human and mammalian cells that are subjected to gene editing.

Vermont Coach Fired for Saying There’s Difference Between Boys and Girls

Coach David Bloch was discussing the matter with several of his players when someone overheard the conversation and got triggered.

The coach said there are biological and physiological differences between boys and girls.

Coach Bloch had coached the team for more than a decade. He actually started the snowboarding program at the school back in 2011.

Bloch is a practicing Roman Catholic who believes that God created males and females with immutable sex, and that, based on scientific evidence, there are only two sexes, male and female and that sex is determined by a person’s chromosomes.

The following day, the superintendent of Windsor Central Supervisory Union summoned Bloch to her office and handed him a notice of “immediate termination,” while admitting that the investigation into Bloch’s conversation was not complete.

The notice accused Bloch of violating Windsor Central Supervisory Union Board’s Harassment, Hazing, and Bullying policy and the Vermont Principals’ Association related policy for “ma[king] reference to [a] student in a manner that questioned the legitimacy and appropriateness of the student competing on the girls’ team to members of the WUHS snowboard team”—all outside the student’s presence.
