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.”

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.

First Liberty is representing Pastor Chris Avell of Dad’s Place, a church in Bryan, Ohio. He’s facing 18 criminal charges for violating the city’s zoning laws.

The city is going after him because earlier this year Pastor Chris opened the church 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He’s seeking to serve homeless people.

In November 2023, the city sent a letter ordering the church to stop allowing overnight guests or face criminal prosecution. This past Sunday—on New Year’s Eve—police showed up at the church. They handed the Pastor a packet of multiple charges and violations.

Our attorneys will be attending a court hearing next week, on January 11, to defend the Pastor and the church.

Pastor Chris said he’s willing to face those charges for the sake of the church’s mission.

“I was spiritually homeless and God provided a home for me. He’s put a burden on my heart for the homeless,” Pastor Chris said. “Many of these people have been rejected by their families and cast aside by their communities. So, if the church isn’t willing to lay down it’s life for them, then who will? This is what we’re called to do.”

“The city would rather kick these folks to the curb in the cold outdoor months of December and early January than allow the church to remain open 24/7 to those who need it the most,” Dys said. “It’s unconscionable. We’re going to hold them accountable.”

“This isn’t a homeless shelter, it’s a church,” said Pastor Chris in an interview with The Village Reporter. “But we have put in things people can use, like a shower and a small ability to do laundry. Some who found this to be a home for them have stuck around.”

The Pastor says he began opening the building this way, because the local homeless shelter was often full, which led to the needs of many vulnerable people not being met. He says at least a hundred have been helped in some way by his church being opened 24/7.

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.”

ROME — The global persecution of Christians rose sharply in 2023, according to the 2024 World Watch List (WWL) published Wednesday by Open Doors Christian charity.

More than 365 million Christians worldwide suffer “high levels” of persecution and discrimination for their faith, WWL reveals, which means that one in seven Christians are persecuted because of their faith.

During 2023, 4,998 Christians were killed in connection with practicing their faith, counting only the number of reported cases, WWL found.

Attacks on the homes of Christians nearly quadrupled (+371 percent) from 2022 to 2023, rising from 4,547 to 21,431, and the number of attacks on churches, Christian schools, and hospitals jumped sevenfold, from 2,110 in 2022 to 14,766 in 2023.

Moreover, 42,849 Christians suffered physical violence or death threats in the course of the year, and 278,716 Christians were driven from their homes or forced to go underground. This represents more than double the figure from 2022 (124,310).

Topping the World Watch List, which ranks the 50 most dangerous countries for Christians, is once again North Korea, which also occupied the number one spot in the 2023 WWL findings.

North Korea is an officially atheist country run by a brutal communist regime that is particularly hostile to Christians. As WWL notes, being discovered to be a Christian in North Korea “is effectively a death sentence.”

Calls by Western leaders to wrap up the conflict are very premature. The war against Hamas is nowhere near finished.

Western leaders, and especially US President Joe Biden, who faces an election this year, are eager for Israel’s war against Hamas to wrap up already.

As expected, the full scale of the horrors visited upon Israel on October 7 have started to fade from Western memories, and so too has the support and backing that was so strong and unequivocal in the opening weeks of the ‘Simhat Torah War.’

With a US presidential election looming, the White House wants to get the Gaza war out of the news cycle as quickly as possible. Biden’s early support for Israel hasn’t been popular with parts of his Democratic constituency, and could cost him votes in November.

But whether or not the mainstream international media continues to focus exaggerated attention on it, the war against Hamas is going to last well beyond the American election, said IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi.

“We will be at war in Gaza, I don’t know if all year—we will be fighting in Gaza all year, that’s for sure,” Halevi said following a situational assessment with officers and commanders of the IDF’s Judea and Samaria Division.

Halevi and Israeli political leaders won’t say as much, but the West, and America in particular, have themselves largely to blame for the fact this war is so costly and lengthy.

For decades, Washington and other Western power brokers have mostly turned a blind eye to the institutionalized incitement in Palestinian society. Mosques, schools and state-run media incessantly brainwash Palestinian men, women and children to seek conflict with Israel, and to happily sacrifices their lives and the lives of their loved ones for the ultimate goal of destroying the Jewish state.

The Oslo Accords stipulated that the Palestinian population be educated for peace. Instead, it has been educated for war.

Terrorists reportedly trained for years without knowing specific purpose of training, underwent special tests to determine capabilities and combat skills for attack; commanders notified of attack just hours prior

Hamas’ plan to storm Israeli border communities, as happened on October 7, was known only to 70 members of its elite Nukhba unit, London-based Arabic-language newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reported on Wednesday, citing sources close to the military wing of Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades.

The terrorists, who trained for years without knowing the specific purpose of their training, launched a surprise attack from several different areas along the Gaza-Israel border, crossing it using explosive devices prepared and tailored for “weak points” identified in the fence. The sources revealed that the terrorists employed drones and paragliders, enabling them to take down Israeli positions.

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani has joined the growing chorus calling for the formation of a European Union Army, arguing that sacrificing the national sovereignty of member states is worth the tradeoff for security.

Antonio Tajani, who took over as the leader of the centre-right Forza Italia party following the death of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi last year and who currently serves both foreign minister and deputy prime minister in the Giorgia Meloni coalition government, argued that one of the top reforms needed for the European Union is the formation of a collective military among the 27 countries that constitute the bloc.

Speaking to the Italian La Stampa newspaper, Tajani said: “If we want to be bearers of peace in the world, we need a European army. And this is a fundamental precondition for having an effective European foreign policy. In a world with powerful players like the United States, China, India, and Russia, with crises ranging from the Middle East to the Indo-Pacific, Italian, German, French or Slovenian citizens can only be protected by something that already exists, and it’s called the European Union.

“Therefore, defence and a common army must become a concrete fact. No longer postponable. National resistance to sharing even these ‘pieces of sovereignty’ will always be strong, but if we remain divided we will always be defenceless sparrows in a world where eagles fly.”

The Italian deputy prime minister claimed that the countries of the EU need to collectivise their military spending or face being “out of the game”. Tajani pushed back on the idea that it would be an offensive force, however, saying that an EU Army should rather be a force for “peacekeeping, monitoring, and deterrence.”

While the formation of an EU Army was previously dismissed as a conspiracy theory by anti-Brexit activists in Britain in the runup to the independence referendum in 2016, Brussels has been steadily making steps towards creating a single military for years.

In addition to creating a fully integrated military, the Italian politician also argued that Brussels should consolidate its top leadership into one position, giving the power of European Commission president and European Council president to one person.

“We cannot have two presidents,” he said, adding that although there will likely be pushback against the idea, “this current, two-headed structure has had its day.”

Life expectancy across the U.S. has declined, and this drop coincides with the introduction of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines.

According to Elizabeth Arias, a researcher for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the U.S. life expectancy. “[It will take] some time before we’re back where we were in 2019,” she said.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported that according to CDC numbers, life expectancy for the entire U.S. was 77 years in 2020. However, this dropped to 76.4 years by 2021 – in time for the introduction of the COVID-19 injections that year.

Heart disease was the leading cause of death in the U.S. for 2021, and this is also linked to the COVID-19 injections. It can be noted that many of the most widely reported side-effects from COVID-19 injections have been related to the cardiovascular system. Countless people have suffered from either a heart attack or a stroke after being injected. (Related: New “smoking gun” analysis shows dramatic excess mortality rise linked to COVID-19 vaccines.)

One study by the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in California found that heart attack deaths climbed for all age groups during 2020 and 2021. But the biggest jump in heart attack deaths was seen in the group aged 25 to 44 at 29 percent.

COVID-19 injections shorten men’s lives by 24 years

The CDC’s own data also disclosed the true dangers of the vaccines. According to the Daily Expose, men injected with the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines could see as much as 24 years taken off their lifespan as a result.

The public health agency’s all-cause mortality data shows that each dose of the COVID-19 vaccine a person got raised their mortality rate by seven percent in 2022, compared to 2021. In other words, people injected with five doses were 35 percent more likely to die in 2022 than in 2021.

The Expose compared the COVID-19 vaccines to “slow-acting genetic poison” based on this data, given the fact that people do not appear to be recovering from the damage caused by earlier vaccines when it comes to excess mortality. It ultimately warned that a person injected with five doses would be 350 percent more likely to pass away in 2031, and a shocking 700 percent more likely to die in 2041 than an unvaccinated person.

Dr. Robert Califf, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), acknowledged this reduced life expectancy. “We are facing extraordinary headwinds in our public health with a major decline in life expectancy,” he wrote on X. “The major decline [of life expectancy] in the U.S. is not just a trend; I’d describe it as catastrophic.”

Not surprisingly, Califf stopped short of pinning the blame on the COVID-19 vaccines. Many of those who dare to suggest that the injections are responsible for excess deaths find themselves being censored.

In one instance, whistleblower Barry Young from New Zealand shared data from the country’s health agency that pointed to a strong link between the COVID-19 injections and excess mortality. According to the data he shared, the vaccines killed more than 10 million around the world.

But this revelation came with a steep price, as Young was arrested and now faces prison time. Nevertheless, the whistleblower said he shared the data as it blew his mind. He also wanted experts to analyze it and make people aware of what is happening.
