AGENDA Weekly Brief

Week of April 10-16

Dear Friends,

British preacher Charles Spurgeon once said, “The Resurrection is the cornerstone which supports the entire building of Christianity. It is the keystone of our salvation. It would take a volume to set forth all the streams of living water which flow from this one sacred source, the Resurrection of our dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But to know that He has risen, and to have fellowship with Him by possessing a risen life, this is even still more precious.”

Luke 24:34 proclaims, “The Lord is risen indeed.” Paul declares in I Corinthians 15, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept…For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”

Celebrate the fact that Christ is risen! Do you know Him today?

1. DISNEY MAKES IT GAYEST MOVIE YET: Disney’s new film, “Better Nate Than Ever,” is being called Disney’s “gayest kids movie yet.” The film is a musical comedy targeted at pre-teenagers. This comes as Disney has released a one-minute public service ad from the LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD, along with Comcast, WarnerMedia, and Paramount. The ad, called “Protect Our Families,” accuses those who oppose medically abusing children via so-called “gender transition” of seeking to “tear families apart.” The ad also states, “families with transgender kids are just like any other family: they love their kids unconditionally and simply want the best for them.”

Another leaked video revealed Disney corporate president Karen Burke admitting that Disney has been “targeting Gen Z and millennials” with LGBTQ+ content. Burke said that her son told her, “Gen Z is 30 to 40 percent queerer than the other generations, Mom, so Disney better get with it.”

2. REAL INFLATION IS VASTLY UNDERREPORTED: The Labor Department said that Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) increased 8.5% over the past year. However, Economist John Williams of Shadow Stats notes that if inflation were calculated by the same measures used in 1980, the official Consumer Price Index inflation number would stand around 17%.

Ed Note: For more on inflation, see the video by Glenn Beck near the bottom of this week’s videos. Economist Milton Friedman once wrote, “Inflation is always and everywhere, a monetary phenomenon….a result of too much money, of a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.”

3. UNITED NATIONS WARNS OF FOOD CRISIS: According to the U.N., “The Ukraine crisis risks tipping up to 1.7 billion people — over one-fifth of humanity — into poverty, destitution, and hunger. Ukraine and the Russian Federation provide 30% of the world’s wheat and barley, 20% of its maize, and over 50% of its sunflower oil. Together, their grain is an essential food source for some of the poorest and most vulnerable people, providing more than one-third of the wheat imported by 45 African and least-developed countries. At the same time, Russia is the world’s top natural gas exporter, and second-largest oil exporter.” Socialist U.N. head António Guterres said, “We are now facing a perfect storm that threatens to devastate the economies of developing countries.”

4. BIDEN BANS “GHOST GUNS,” ACCELERATES WAR ON SECOND AMENDMENT: The Biden Administration released a new rule aimed at banning “ghost guns,” guns assembled in parts by the buyers. The New American reports, “Biden may pass Clinton in his anti-gun zeal. His new pick [Steve Dettelbach] for head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) makes previous directors look gun-friendly by comparison.” Biden also gave his own reinterpretation of the Second Amendment: “It’s going to sound bizarre, I support the Second Amendment. But from the very beginning, the Second Amendment didn’t say you can own any gun you want, as big as you want. You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment passed, and certain people from the very beginning weren’t allowed to purchase guns. There’s nothing new, it’s just rational.”

5. FAUCI PRAISES CHINA’S BRUTAL LOCKDOWNS: China has enacted draconian lockdowns in the city of Shanghai, home to 26 million people. The Epoch Times reports, “The hardline policies have crippled the city’s economy and wreaked havoc. In the Chinese financial hub that’s home to 26 million people, feelings of hunger, frustration, and desperation are taking hold. Starving locals have taken to banging pots and pans from their balconies while screaming out demands for food.” One western journalist, stuck in Shanghai, commented, “This is the biggest, richest, most international city in China and people are starving without medicine, without freedom. Parents separated from their children. The military is on the streets and Shanghai’s optimism has ground to a halt.”

In a recent interview, Fauci commented on China’s lockdowns and said, “I remember early on they were saying, and I think accurately, they were doing better than anyone else.” Fauci also proclaimed, “You use lockdowns to get people vaccinated so that when you open up, you won’t have a surge of infections.”

Ed. Note: Tucker Carlson noted, “We’re just beginning to see the outline of the repression that Covid has made possible. And if you want to see what the future looks like, look at China and shiver.”

6. COMMUNIST CHILE ENACTS CLIMATE LOCKDOWNS, WATER RATIONING: Chile continues to face a prolonged drought, which it blames on global “climate change.” The capital city of Santiago has unveiled what Reuters called “an unprecedented plan to ration water.” Mayor Claudio Orrego said, “It’s important for citizens to understand that climate change is here to stay. It’s not just global, it’s local.”

Ed. Note: Climate lockdowns are following Covid lockdowns. Global elites want to centrally control your use of water, food, and energy. 

7. RWANDA OPENS CENTER FOR WEF’S FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: Rwanda’s New Times reports, “President Paul Kagame will today preside over the official launch of the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) in Kigali, following a partnership with the Ministry of ICT and Innovation and the World Economic Forum. The development is part of the efforts to position Rwanda as a proof-of-concept hub and an enabler of the innovation and startup ecosystem, according to the Ministry.”

8. CANADA CENSORS ALTERNATIVE MEDIA, EXPLORES DIGITAL CURRENCY: Rebel News founder and CEO Ezra Levant told Tucker Carlson that Justin Trudeau’s regime has instituted a “Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization license” aimed at shutting down outlets critical of the regime. Levant said, “It used to be that the liberals of Canada were for civil rights and free speech and separation of government and the media. Those days are done. You can count on one hand’s fingers the independent media left in the country, and Trudeau hates them.”

Canada’s 2022 budget proposes a government review into a central bank currency. The review will explore how “to maintain the security and stability of the financial system in light of these evolving business models and technological capabilities; and the potential need for a central bank digital currency in Canada.”

9. TEXAS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR CALLS BIDEN IMMIGRATION POLICIES “INTENTIONAL”: Breitbart reports, “Border chief Alejandro Mayorkas is directing that economic migrants get every opportunity to stay once the Title 42 barrier is removed — regardless of the huge damage he inflicts on ordinary Americans.” Republican Representative Andy Biggs predicts 20,000 to 30,000 illegal immigrants will cross the Southern border each day if Title 42 is revoked.

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said the border crisis could only have been caused by three things: “It’s either negligence, stupidity, or the plan. It’s the plan.” Patrick says it comes down to votes: “They [the Democrats] want to control the elections and make this a one-party country. And that’s what’s going on.”

10. SOUTHERN BAPTIST ERLC CALLS JUDGE JACKSON’S NOMINATION “HISTORIC”: The Southern Baptist’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission released a statement from acting president Brent Leatherwood lauding the appointment of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court: “Despite the philosophical and legal differences individuals like me will have with her, Judge Jackson’s confirmation is a history-making moment.” Florida pastor Tom Ascol responded, “This!?! From @ERLC funded by SBC churches! This judge can’t define a ‘woman,’ gave slaps on the wrist to child sex abusers, advocates for the murder of babies, & is celebrated by NARAL. And we should ‘appreciate’ her appointment? We should weep!”

11. BLACKROCK EXPLAINS ITS 2030 AGENDA: Reuters notes, “BlackRock on Thursday projected that by 2030 at least three quarters of its investments in companies and governments will be tied to issuers with a scientific target to cut net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050, up from 25% currently. It was the first time BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager with $9.6 trillion in assets, has said how its portfolio could look in 2030 as far as emissions are concerned, but it remains an expectation rather than a firm target.”

Ed. Note: BlackRock is fully dedicated to implementing the World Economic Forum’s 2030 agenda. This shouldn’t be surprising, as BlackRock CEO Larry Fink sits on the WEF’s board.

12. MASK MANDATES RETURN: Philadelphia has become the first major U.S. city to bring back an indoor mask mandate. Three universities – American, Georgetown, and Johns Hopkins – have partially reinstated mask mandates. Biden has extended the federal mask mandate while at the same time moving to end Covid restrictions for illegal immigrants.

13. COVID VACCINE AGENDA: Moderna issued a recall in Europe for 764,900 doses of its “Spikevax” vaccine due to contaminants. Pfizer and BioNTech are applying for Emergency Use Authorization for a booster dose for 5 to 11-year-olds. Hundreds of churches across the United States have been paid to promote Covid vaccines to their congregants.

According to The Gateway Pundit, “A jaw-dropping 769 athletes have collapsed while competing over the past year,” with the average age of athlete cardiac arrest being just 23. The Rair Foundation reports multiple German and Austrian mayors under 60 who are “suddenly and unexpectedly” dropping dead.

14. LEFTISTS CALL FREE SPEECH PROPONENTS RACIST AND DANGEROUS: Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao tweeted, “At the end of the day, the free-speechers really just want to be able to use racist slurs. They really don’t care about sharing new ideas or encouraging freedom other than the freedom to harass other people off the platform.” Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich penned an Orwellian article in The Guardian entitled, “Elon Musk’s Vision For the Internet is Dangerous Nonsense.”

15. BIDEN WAGES WAR ON AMERICA’S NUCLEAR ARSENAL: Newsmax reports, “President Joe Biden’s defense budget zeroes out funding for the U.S. Navy’s nuclear-armed Sea-Launched Cruise Missile, ignoring protests from the Pentagon, that the new cruise missile is necessary for nuclear deterrence.” Newsmax also notes, “According to recent press reports, a classified version of the Biden administration’s Nuclear Posture Review, provided to Congress, plans to eliminate the B83 nuclear bomb, the most powerful weapon in the U.S. nuclear deterrent.” The Wall Street Journal notes that “China has accelerated an expansion of its nuclear arsenal.”

Meanwhile, according to the Washington Free Beacon, “Several of Russia’s top state-controlled nuclear companies stand to gain billions of dollars in revenue as part of a new nuclear accord with Iran that will waive sanctions on these firms so that they can build up Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure…”

16. SPOTIFY AND UNITED NATIONS PROMOTE CRITICAL RACE THEORY: recent United Nations podcast features Nikole Hannah-Jones of the revisionist 1619 Project. The podcast discussed “the need for a deeper reckoning with the history of slavery at home and worldwide including the ‘essential’ provision of reparations for Black Americans today.” Spotify has aired an original podcast featuring Black Lives Matter co-founder and “trained Marxist” Patrisse Cullors on Spotify’s Abolition X.

17. NOTEWORTHY STORIES:

  • A lawsuit says that at least 20 FBI and ATF “assets” were embedded around the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
  • A new video shows police officers allowing January 6 defendants to enter the Capitol Building.
  • In the U.K., The Daily Mail reports, “Women can be strip-searched by trans officers who were born male, say police.”
  • Dallas’ Love Field has deployed 7-foot tall robot machines to ensure mask compliance, among other things.
  • Durham University is advancing “decolonization” by asking math professors to consider if they’re relying on “mostly white or male” mathematicians.
  • Saint Louis University rejected a request from conservative students to place an American flag in the classrooms, claiming the request lacked a “necessary motive.”
  • A school district in Pennsylvania’s Delaware County is promoting transgenderism and systemic grooming through books in its classrooms and libraries under the guise of “social emotional learning.”
  • For the second year in a row, U.S. life expectancy has dropped, from 78.86 years in 2019, to 76.99 in 2020, to 76.60 in 2021.
  • The National Pulse reports, “All House Democrats on the Judiciary Committee voted against a proposed amendment to a domestic terrorism bill that would have prevented American intelligence and security agencies from receiving taxpayer funds to ‘monitor, analyze, investigate or prosecute’ Americans unvaccinated against COVID-19.”

THE FREEDOM AGENDA

1. GEORGIA BECOMES 25TH CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY STATE: After signing the Georgia Constitutional Carry Act into law, Governor Brian Kemp said, “SB 319 makes sure that law-abiding Georgians…can protect themselves without having [to obtain] the permission of the state government. The Constitution of the United States gives us that right, not the government…People don’t have to carry if they don’t want to. But this is a constitutional authority that people have, and they certainly shouldn’t have [to get] a piece of paper from the government to be able to legally carry a firearm.”

2. OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR SIGNS PRO-LIFE BILL: Governor Kevin Stitt, himself a father of six, said, “As governor, I represent all four million Oklahomans, and they overwhelmingly support protecting life in the state of Oklahoma. We want Oklahoma to be the most pro-life state in the country. We want to outlaw abortion in the state of Oklahoma.”

3. ALABAMA PASSES BILLS PROTECTING CHILDREN: The Christian Post reports, “Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has signed into law measures that aim to protect children in her state by banning genital mutilation as part of sex-change operations on youth who suffer from gender dysphoria, and the teaching of sexual orientation to elementary school students.” Governor Ivey wrote on Twitter, “Here in Alabama, we’re going to go by how God made us: if the Good Lord made you a boy, you’re a boy, and if He made you a girl, you’re a girl. It’s simple. Enough of this woke radical nonsense that preys on our kids.”

4. FLORIDA PASSES PRO-LIFE BILL: Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill banning abortions after 15 weeks. Before the signing, DeSantis said, “We are here today to protect life. We are here today to defend those who can’t defend themselves.”

Ed. Note: While abortions at any stage of pregnancy are evil and horrifying, this bill is an important step in the right direction. 

5. FLORIDA PASSES BILL SUPPORTING FATHERHOOD: The bill recognizes that “Families are stronger when both parents act responsibly in caring for their children. It is the intent of the Legislature to recognize and support the important and unique role that fathers play in ensuring the physical, emotional, and economic well-being of their children and families.”

Governor Ron DeSantis said, “Incredibly, there are those who diminish the importance of fatherhood and the nuclear family. We will not let that happen in our state. I am proud to say we are doing everything we can to support involved fatherhood in Florida.”

6. GERMAN PARLIAMENT REJECTS VACCINE MANDATES: Despite being backed by the coalition government, the proposition lost, with 296 MPs voting in favor and 378 voting against. Herbert Kickl, leader of Austria’s populist Freedom Party, praised the results, saying, “Our government…has the opportunity to imitate the Germans with something reasonable and necessary, namely the rejection of a compulsory vaccination regime that tramples on fundamental rights and freedoms and lacks any scientific evidence.”

7. VIRGINIA ELIMINATES TAXES ON GOLD AND SILVER: The Activist Post reports, “By signing sound money legislation last night, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has ended Virginia’s discriminatory practice of assessing sales taxes on smaller purchases of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion and coins.” Virginia’s House Bill 936 sailed through both chambers before being signed into law by Governor Youngkin.

8. ACTIVISTS RALLY AGAINST CPS HUMAN TRAFFICKING: The National File reports, “Parental rights activists and freedom supporters will stage a nationwide series of marches and rallies on July 16, 2022, to protest human trafficking in the Child Protective Services (CPS) and foster care system…CPS is used to rip children away from parents for vague or fabricated reasons and plunge kids into a world of widespread reported human trafficking in the government system.”

9. PARENTS CALL FOR DISNEY BOYCOTT: A new poll finds that 68% of Americans are less likely to do business with Disney, while 69% would support family-friendly alternatives. Moms for Liberty has called for a boycott of Disney. Co-founder Tiffany Justice said, “Parents are not going to put up with this nonsense. We are watching woke corporations chip away at our parental rights. So we’re not just going to stand out on the street with our ‘Boycott Disney’ signs. We’re going to do what we need to do as parents across the country and make sure we spend our money with companies that align with our values, and sexualizing children is not a value we hold. We do not believe that is an appropriate thing for any adult to be doing.”

10. HOLD THE LINE ORGANIZES RALLY AT DISNEY HEADQUARTERS: Christian Organization Hold the Line, in conjunction with Turning Point USA, held a massive protest at Disney’s corporate headquarters in Burbank, California, calling for a boycott of Disney and an end to the left’s systemic grooming of children.

Worship pastor Sean Feucht, who organized the event, proclaimed, “We call for every wall of perversion to come down in Jesus’ name. We call for every wall to strip the innocence of our kids to come down. God, we pray that you would expose Disney for what it is, expose this corporation, bring everything that’s been hidden into the light.” Feucht said, “If parents in America would realize the power and the authority that they have, they could shift the economy of this place in one day.”

Another pastor told the crowd, “Can I just be real with you? We have annual passes to Disneyland. We’ve got to take action. So, I am commissioning and asking all of you to not renew your Disneyland account. We will not go back. They will not get our money. They will not get our time. We will not support something that’s going to come against our children.”

After watching this week’s video, reflect on the most important areas to begin preparing for 2030. Have a conversation with family or close friends to discuss the following:

  • Location: What is the best location (state, rural community) for my family to live in light of the 2030 agenda?

8 thoughts on “Prepping For 2030: Why You Need a Long-Term Plan”

  1. Knowing the little we know of how evil “they” (Satan’s puppets) are, why would they allow “the Resistance” to live in peace, being self-sufficient? They know who you are, where you are, what you’re doing, even what you’re thinking (remember 5G?).
    They have the military, the armor and mass casualty weapons (even the local police have some), and what have you got? A shotgun, a pistol, a rifle? Anything?They will not only take your wealth, they will take your supplies and tools of survival and move you into the cities. If you resist they can kill you and replace you with a robot.

    What is your plan for that eventuality? Do you think “they” haven’t planned every step of what they will do in response to your attempts to live without dependence on them? Think of Event 201. See how successful they were/are? I’m sure they have had many planning meetings about responding to the preppers and homesteaders. How many planning meetings for Agenda 2030 have you had or attended?

    Young folks who are not brainwashed, or have been rescued from the brainwashing, are the ones who may be successful. But the time for urgent action is NOW. Ten years ago would have been better, but the second best time to get busy is right now! Do it like your life and those you love depend on it, because it does and they do.

    1. Thank you Curtis for an encouraging and helpful episode. I always look forward to each weeks episode and the extras. All the enemies plans can only happen if God allows. They enemy are even against themselves fighting for rotting flesh like a bunch of scavenging hyenas.
      The church militant is organized and equipped with everything it needs to fight, with Jesus as it’s Captain. Now Christians, go man your posts.
      James 4:7
      Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
      Ephesians 6:11
      Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
      Colossians 2: 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
      God bless all and be encouraged and do not fear. If faithful the Lord may provide each of us with an island of freedom.

  2. “Stand By Me” is my favorite hymn (which I’m still trying to meomorize in my old age) 😊https://hymnary.org/text/when_the_storms_of_life_are_raging_stand

    The storms of life are certainly raging now! BUT: Isaiah 41:10 reminds us…

    ‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

  3. OK James, interesting, but panicky…don’t get land to farm, and perhaps have to defend; so what are your suggestions?
    Proverbs 3:5-6.
    Thank you, Mr. Bowers, for your great presentation and suggestions.

  4. I feel so Ill equipped to do something like this. I would love to be able to sell my house and move to somewhere rural America and make something like this happen. However, I currently live on Maui, recently separated, I have two teenage kids, and I don’t make much money. My kids are not interested in any of this stuff so in order to leave i would most likely have to leave them. Or, they might come along but hate me in the process. I know in the long run it would be good for them, but I don’t feel like i have a strong enough plan or direction to force the issue. Without a partner who understands this stuff, I don’t feel like I could pull this off. I am truly a woman who needs a strong partner to lead the way. I will support and work together all day long. I hesitated to watch this week’s episode because of the title. Sometimes I come away from this kind of information feeling worse about things, because I feel so incapable of accomplishing this stuff. Anyway, just thought I’d share where I was at. I wish I could find like minded people in my community. There are a few I’ve met, but not many. I’m sure there is more out there, just not sure how to connect with them.
