"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." - II Peter 3:3-4 KJV

“Hypocrisy of Immigration Crisis: Muslim States Have Accepted Zero Refugees”

While the United States and Europe argue over how many Syrian refugees to allow in, the richest Persian Gulf states have accepted exactly zero. The Muslim countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council that include Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates steadfastly refuse to accept any Syrian refugees. Amnesty International, USA (AIUSA) tells The Daily Caller News Foundation they have not accepted a single refugee since the armed Syrian conflict erupted years ago. ...

“On The Road To Post-Christian America?”

Is the United States in a free-fall from the Christian faith, down towards secularization? Indications are that this is indeed the case, with waning levels of influence, commitment and belief spreading like a wildfire across traditionally strong Christian communities, taking down many individual adherents in its wake. Recent research bears out this trend and prompts the question ...

“The Lie We Live”



“The Disappeared: Chicago Police Detain Americans at Abuse-Laden Black Site”

While US military and intelligence interrogation impacted people overseas, Homan Square - said to house military-style vehicles and even a cage - focuses on American citizens, most often poor, black and brown. 'When you go in,' Brian Jacob Church told the Guardian, 'nobody knows what happened to you. The Chicago police department operates an off-the-books interrogation compound, rendering Americans unable to be found by family or attorneys while locked inside what lawyers say is the domestic equivalent of a CIA black site ...

“Nonconformity and Freethinking Now Considered Mental Illnesses”

Is nonconformity and freethinking a mental illness? According to the newest addition of the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), it certainly is. The manual identifies a new mental illness called "oppositional defiant disorder" or ODD. Defined as an "ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior," symptoms include questioning authority, negativity, defiance, argumentativeness, and being easily annoyed ...

“Greedy Pharma CEO Furious After Competitor Offers Alternative $1 AIDS Pill”

Last month, Turing Pharmaceuticals sparked global outrage when CEO Martin Shkreli raised the price of a drug called Daraprim from $13.50 a pill to $750. Luckily, the medication is old enough that there are no trademark restrictions on it, so other companies are free to develop an identical medication at a lower price. This week, the San Diego based Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that it would be offering an alternative for roughly $1 per pill, or $99 for a 100-pill supply ...

“Goodbye Middle Class: 51 Percent Of All American Workers Make Less Than 30,000 Dollars A Year”

We just got more evidence that the middle class in America is dying. According to brand new numbers that were just released by the Social Security Administration, 51 percent of all workers in the United States make less than $30,000 a year. Let that number sink in for a moment. You can't support a middle class family in America today on just $2,500 a month - especially after taxes are taken out. And yet more than half of all workers in this country make less than that each month ...

“New Revolutionary Wearable Device Can Adjust Your Mindset in a Few Minutes”

I have ALWAYS been uneasy about adjusting my state of consciousness via external means, yet even I'm enthusiastic about the social implications of the new "Thync" wearable technology. Some tech reviewers have been comparing its ambition-enhancing or emotionally centering effects to those of coffee or marijuana, but without the downsides. Its effects are definitely more than the placebo effect for most users ...

“Middle Class Becoming 'Radicalized' in Backlash Against Migrant Influx, Warn German Security Experts”

Domestic unrest may occur if Merkel's open border policy isn't checked. A letter obtained by German newspaper Die Welt written by top security experts warns that the middle class in Germany is becoming "radicalized" in response to the migrant influx and that domestic unrest may occur as a result. "The high influx of people from other parts of the world will lead to instability of our country," a security official told the newspaper ...

“Project Blue Beam: Yes, the Gov't Researched Projecting Holograms of God as a Mass Psyop”

Some people have claimed that Project Blue Beam - a government conspiracy to attempt to instill a New World Order by making the masses believe in a technologically simulated second coming of Christ - was completely made up and has no real basis in reality. Considering how screwed up what we just typed is, we actually wish those people were right. Unfortunately, they're wrong ...

“How Religions Spread Around the World”



“Energy Wars: Massive Oil Discovery in Israel”

For decades, Israel has been searching for oil in its own lands, with the hope of gaining energy independence. Recent reports from Genie, a US oil-exploration company, suggest oil has been found in Israel. Lots of it. Cautionary statements from experts have followed ...

“Spirit of Fear”

The spirit of fear is something that we as Christians should be looking at a bit differently (I believe) than many of us have been. In this 13th post of the 'Are Demons Real' series (wow has there been that many?), we're going to be talking about the troublesome spirit of fear as an entity all of it's own ...

“21 Facts About the Explosive Growth of Poverty in America That Will Blow Your Mind”

What you are about to see is more evidence that the growth of poverty in the United States is wildly out of control. It turns out that there is a tremendous amount of suffering in "the wealthiest nation on the planet", and it is getting worse with each passing year. During this election season, politicians of all stripes are running around telling all of us how great we are, but is that really true? ...

“3 New Technologies That Could Change the Way We Live”

In the weeks leading up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, not only are delegates meeting and hammering out proposed climate plans, but scientists and researchers are increasingly testing and improving new clean energy technologies to cheaply and more efficiently tackle high CO2 emissions ...

“In Violent Jerusalem Tug-of-War, Biblical Prophecy Unfolding Before Our Eyes”

As seen through multiple recent events, the nations of the world are increasing their efforts to weaken or remove Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem. Is this a fulfillment of Zechariah 12:3's prophecy that, at the End of Days, the nations of the earth will gather against ...

“It's Simply Harder to Eat Well When You Are Poor”

While it's good to see that number of obese and overweight children has (slightly) fallen for those starting school, one in 10 children is still entering reception obese or overweight, rising to one in five at the start of secondary school ...

“What You're Not Being Told & Deadly Move!”




“Is This the 2nd Biggest Conspiracy of All? The Recent Rise of the Flat Earth Movement”

The re-emergence of the Flat Earth theory is challenging everything we thought we knew. Could it really be true? Above is a possible representation of a flat earth, with the Arctic at the center and the Antarctic a giant wall of ice on the circumference ...

“Public School: A Conspiracy Against Ourselves”



“And If The Dead Rise Not”

Throughout the New Testament, the word translated as 'mystery' comes from the Greek 'mustering' which literally means 'secret' or 'hidden thing'. In our modern English, however, 'mystery' is understood in the Agatha Christie or Sherlock Holmesian sense of the word. Paul's use of the word 'mystery' when describing the Rapture in 1 Corinthians 15:53 means a truth that had not yet been revealed ...

“China Now Assigning 'Citizen Scores' To Target Dissenters & Maintain Sheep-Like Obedience Among Populace”

(NaturalNews) As reported by TechDirt, the Chinese government is now implementing policies that are designed to control its population via heart, mind and, of course, the Internet - where all sorts of ideas about freedom, liberty and democracy are lurking. In authoritarian regimes, rolling out mandatory programs is most often met with little opposition ...

“A World with No Christians? Report Shows Disturbing Trend”



“The 35 Most Powerful Militaries In The World”

There's only one real way to compare military strength, and thankfully the world hasn't had many opportunities lately. Despite the potential powder keg in the South China Sea, standoffs in Ukraine, and proxy wars throughout the Middle East, inter-state warfare between the world's military powers has been all but banished from the global scene (for the time being, at least) ...

“The Plan for the End of Europe: the New USSR”

One of the basic principles of elite Globalism is: the end of borders, the end of separate nations. The European Union was built for this purpose, step by step, out of the ashes of World War 2: a super-bureaucracy and political management system for the whole continent ...

“What Wal-Mart's and IBM's Troubles Really Tell Us About the US Economy”

With Wal-Mart sales and profits falling, pundits are asking if the U.S. economy is again headed down. Hardly. Like IBM and other business icons in trouble, the Arkansas retailer is simply being squeezed by better competitors - mainly Americans - heralding a new age of American innovation. This is the new American century ...

“Steering the Masses Towards Total War”

It goes without saying that the atrocities of Paris on November 13, 2015 were unspeakable and sickening. But what is not being said in the wake of the incident - what has been ignored by the mass media - is predictably telling and ominous. As in the wake of 9/11, the people of the world are being provoked, agitated and mobilized; the fear, horror, rage and shock channeled and shaped into wave of collective vengeance and hatred. Hatred towards what and whom ...

“Moving Toward A One World Government, A One World Economy And A One World Religion”

The global elite have never been closer to their goal of a united world. Thanks to a series of interlocking treaties and international agreements, the governance of this planet is increasingly becoming globalized and centralized, but most people don't seem alarmed by this at all. In the past 30 days, we have seen some of the biggest steps toward a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion that we have ever witnessed, but these events have sparked very little public discussion or debate ...

“Satan”



“Something Major Is Happening Across America”

"Empty" that is the word to describe the countless malls, shopping centers, office buildings, and stores across America that are shutting their doors due to the fact that the economy is literally diving, and all this happens as our government continues to lie to the populace stating that our economy is headed in the right direction. Meanwhile the debt clock strikes ...

“Reclaiming Conversation”

You're at the dinner table, or in a meeting, or at a baseball game, or in the classroom, or in your bedroom, or at a bar or, yes, in the bathroom - and you're on your phone. You might be talking, but more likely you're texting, posting, swiping, liking, tweeting, buying, browsing or, in my favorite metaphor of digital existence, "refreshing," as though life's staleness can be washed away with every new, fully realized screen ...

“The United Nations Exposes Weather Modification”

How do you like your weather, natural or man-made? Weather modification has been ongoing for decades in the United States. It was perfected during the Vietnam War leading to the ENMOD Treaty signed by the United States. However, this has not stopped a whole host of weather modification programs and experiments being initiated or are now ongoing in the United States and with increasing frequency in many foreign countries ...

“Who's REALLY Protecting Israel?”



“They're 3D Printing Palm Trees In Dubai & So Much More”

“Rude Behavior Shown to be as Contagious as an Infectious Disease”

When you see someone smiling or you hear laughter, you often can't help but smile or laugh yourself. Now scientists from the University of Florida have shown that the same applies to certain non-aggressive negative behaviors, especially rudeness ...

“Astronomers May Have Found Giant Alien Megastructures Orbiting Star Near The Milky Way”

We recently came across an article published in TheWashington Post titled, "The strange star that has serious scientists talking about an alien megastructure." It was referring to Tabetha Boyajian, a Yale University astronomer who recently wrote a paper on possible explanations for why KIC 8462852, a distant star, has unusual flickering habits and dims drastically every few years ...

“Debunking 4 Myths About Religious Freedom”

It's rather common in headlines and news articles these days to see "religious freedom" placed in scare quotes. Many seem to think religious liberty is just a Religious Right Trojan horse for Christian privilege. Here are four popular myths about religious liberty I commonly encounter ...
