AGENDA Weekly Brief Week of April 27 – May 3 of 2024

Dear Friends,

Charles Spurgeon advised, “You may fear that the Lord has passed you by, but it is not so. He who counts the stars and calls them by their names is in no danger of forgetting His own children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature He ever made, or the only saint He ever loved. Approach Him and be at peace.”

1. EUROPE PUNISHES THOSE WHO PROTEST GREAT REPLACEMENT: Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek warned that global elites believe Europeans “don’t have the right to exit” and should be minorities in their own country. Vlaardingerbroek said, “If we don’t start to fight for our continent, the time in which we live will go down in history as the time Western nations didn’t need to be invaded to be conquered. Our corrupt elite invited the invaders in!” Google-owned YouTube deleted her speech, “The Great Replacement is not a theory – it’s reality,” for violating its “hate speech policy.” Over 50 million have watched her speech on X thus far.

The Epoch Times reports, “More than 1,000 protesters gathered in Hamburg, Germany, over the weekend, with the leader of the group demanding the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in the European country.” The crowd chanted “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is greater).

In Ireland, police attacked and pepper-sprayed citizens who protested illegal immigration. Former Reagan advisor Paul Craig Robert assessed, “[This] shows that the West is being intentionally destroyed by its own governments. The threat that all citizens in the West face comes not from Russia, China, and Iran, but from their own government.”

2. IS HAVING BABIES NOW “FAR RIGHT”? Politico released a hit piece titled “The Far Right’s Campaign to Explode the Population.” The reporter claimed, “The far right is so obsessed with making babies, they just held a whole conference about it,” referring to the first Natal Conference held in Austin, Texas, last December.

Elon Musk responded by posting conference organizer Kevin Dolan’s keynote address and warning, “If birth rates continue to plummet, human civilization will end. Columnist Peachy Keenan, who spoke at the event, wrote, “When did choosing parenthood become ‘far-right’? After all, we’re not domestic extremists – we’re just extremely domestic.”

The CDC reports that America’s fertility rate fell to 1.62 children per woman in 2023, the lowest level in U.S. history.

Ed. Note: Psalm 127:3 says, “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”

3. WHY TRUMP WON’T BACK DOWN FROM PRAISING THE COVID VACCINE: In a recent Truth Social post, President Donald Trump criticized Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s far-left record on environmental issues, and ended with these words: “His Views on Vaccines are FAKE, as is everything else about his Candidacy. Let the Democrats have RFK Jr. They deserve him!” Trump also wrote that he would “take Biden over ‘Junior.’” Kennedy responded by challenging Trump to a debate, faulting Trump for “let[ting] Big Pharma and his corrupt bureaucrats run roughshod over him as President.”

Constitutional attorney Robert Barnes, who has previously represented both Kennedy and Trump, said, “Trump’s blind spot on the COVID vaccine remains a real vulnerability for him. Highlighting it in contrasting himself to RFK is incredibly dumb politically.”

Trump supporter Attorney Tom Renz believes that Trump refuses to back down from praising COVID vaccines because his campaign leader, Susan Wiles, has substantial ties to Big Pharma through her work for Mercurcy LLC, a firm that represents Pfizer, Gilead, GAVI, and the UN Foundation.

In a Time interview several days later, Trump reiterated, “I did a phenomenal job…I have a very important Democrat friend, who probably votes for me…he said Operation Warp Speed was one of the greatest achievements in the history of government.”

4. DOES BIDEN WANT A TERRORIST ATTACK IN THE U.S.? Zero Hedge reports, “Tucked away in the $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan is a $3.5 billion slush fund to open new processing centers for Muslim migrants…” The Daily Wire reports, “President Joe Biden is reportedly considering bringing Palestinians to the United States as refugees as he looks to assuage the anger he faces from anti-Semites within his own party who are angry about his administration’s support for Israel in its war against Hamas.” But Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX warns, “The problem is 75% of these Palestinians, all these refugees, are basically sympathetic with Hamas.”

At a Wisconsin campaign event, Donald Trump criticized Biden’s proposal and said, “Joe Biden seems…determined to create the conditions for an October seventh style attack right here in America.” Gallup found that for the third straight month, Americans cited immigration as the most critical problem facing the country.

5. SWAMP PLANS TO “TRUMP PROOF” UKRAINE AID: Days after receiving $61 billion in fresh aid from the U.S., Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed, “Our teams, Ukraine and the United States, are currently working on a bilateral security agreement, and we are already working on a specific text. Our goal is to make this agreement the strongest of all. We are discussing the specific foundations of our security and cooperation. We are also working on fixing specific levels of support for this year and the next ten years…”

Entrepreneur David Sacks responded, “The $61 billion was just the beginning. The next two U.S. presidents won’t be able to switch it off.” Ukrainian-born Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (R-IN) said Ukraine is corrupt and aid is becoming a “slush fund.”

6. HOUSE PASSES “ANTISEMITISM” BILL: The U.S. House voted 320-91 to pass the broadly worded “Antisemitism Awareness Act.” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) criticized Speaker Johnson and Republican leadership for pushing the bill through without “a chance to amend it…discuss it, debate it…” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said the bill polices “speech, religion, and assembly” and fails to even define the term “antisemitism.”

Matt Walsh wrote, “The vast majority of Republicans just voted for a bill to criminalize criticisms of the Israeli government…This is honestly one of the most insane pieces of legislation I’ve ever seen.”

Charlie Kirk recommended, “Instead of passing anti-free speech laws that trample on the First Amendment or inserting themselves behind a podium at Columbia, just allow the left to continue embarrassing itself.”

7. DEMS PROMISE TO SAVE SPEAKER JOHNSON: Following conservative backlash from Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) massive Democrat-supported foreign aid package, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) promised that Democrats would “vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Motion to Vacate the Chair.” Greene responded, “Mike Johnson is officially the Democrat Speaker of the House. Here is their official endorsement of his Speakership. What slimy backroom deal did Johnson make for the Democrats’ support?”

Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced they would force a vote on the Motion to Vacate to “next week.” Massie said, “Members have a weekend to decide whether to embrace the Uniparty that became obvious in the U.S. House when Hakeem Jeffries and the entire Democrat leadership team announced they want to keep Mike Johnson.”

8. THE LEFT’S VAST ELECTION RIGGING MACHINERY: Attorney Rachel Alexander reports, “A new review of financial documents shows Democrats are pouring more money than ever into 2024 political campaigns, especially in close races…Much of the ‘dark money’ – including illegal foreign contributions – cannot be identified since it is often funneled through corporations or 501(c)4 nonprofits that are not required to identify their donors…Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and Iran are funneling money into U.S. elections. They create ‘shell’ American companies and launder the money through them. Although illegal, the money cannot be traced…”

The New York Post and The Daily Signal report that the Biden regime is ramping up its campaign to illegally use government agencies to register likely Democratic voters.

Ed. Note: Texas Supreme Court Justice John Devine recently told a gathering of Texas Tea Party Republicans, “Look at the election law abuse that happened…We’re still fighting that. That’s still out there. It’s gonna happen again. Do you really think the Democrats are gonna roll over and let Trump be president again? You think they’re just gonna go away, and all of a sudden find Jesus and be an honest election? I don’t think so…”

9. IS THE BANKING CRISIS ACCELERATING? Last Friday afternoon, regulators shut down Philadelphia-based Republic Bank, a $6 billion entity with 32 branches in the Northeast. It was the first bank failure of 2024. Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary predicted, “In the next three to five years, thousands more regional institutions will fail. That’s why I don’t have a dime saved or invested in a single one.”

Meanwhile, at the World Economic Forum Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy Development, Central Bank of Bahrain governor Khalid Humaidan said that COVID-19 accelerated the cashless agenda and declared, “We’re probably going to stop calling it central bank digital currency [CBDC]. It’s going to be a digital form of cash, and at some point in time, hopefully, we will be able to be 100% digital.” Last week, the WEF reported that “over 98 percent” of the world’s central banks are preparing for programmable CBDCs.

10. HOW INTEL CONTROLS THE MEDIA: In a recent interview, Tucker Carlson stated, “The intel agencies have a big effect on what is broadcast on television…There are a lot of anchors, including people I know well and have worked with at different networks…I’m thinking of one in particular, a national security reporter, who is just a mouthpiece for the Pentagon and the CIA and is knowingly telling lies on their behalf. It’s very, very common, and I can think of a number of people at CNN who I know for a fact are doing that exact thing. They’re reading government propaganda from the intel agencies knowingly…I know that is true; I’m not speculating at all.”

11. SECOND BOEING WHISTLEBLOWER SUDDENLY DIES: A second Boeing whistleblower, 45-year-old Joshua Dean, died after a “sudden, fast-spreading infection.” In March, whistleblower John Barnett died of an alleged “self-inflicted gunshot wound.” Pollster Rich Baris commented, “Think about the odds of two whistleblowers dying like this within a short period of time. Boeing is either the luckiest company to ever be in business, or the most evil.”

The Seattle Times reports, “Dean had given a deposition in a Spirit shareholder lawsuit and also filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration alleging ‘serious and gross misconduct by senior quality management of the 737 production line’ at Spirit.”

12. TECH NEWS: Business Insider reports, “Alphabet, Google’s parent company, achieved a $2 trillion market cap milestone.” The New American reports, “President Biden’s campaign will continue using…TikTok even though the president supported a provision in the military aid bill he recently signed forcing TikTok’s parent company ByteDance to sell TikTok within 270 days.” 150 million Americans use the app.

Breitbart reports, “The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has reportedly asked the CEOs of OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft to join other tech leaders on a federal AI safety panel.” Notus reports, “At least two Texas communities along the U.S.-Mexico border have purchased a product called ‘TraffiCatch,’ which collects the unique wireless and Bluetooth signals emitted by nearly all modern electronics to identify devices and track their movements…”

Reclaim the Net reports, “Congressional Republicans are further investigating claims that at least 13 major US banks collaborated with federal agencies to monitor private transactions for signs of ‘extremism’ following the January 6 Capitol events.”

13. IS A DECLINING BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW BEHIND AMERICA’S DISASTER? In his latest worldview survey, George Barna reported, “More than two-thirds of Americans say they are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country today. Yet few of them pause from their busy schedules long enough to consider that the problems they see are the result of increasing numbers of American adults making decisions based on shifting foundational beliefs and values. In fact, the social problems troubling the majority of Americans are likely a symptom of the unprecedented change in worldview preferences, in which longstanding biblical beliefs are being discarded in favor of a wide range of alternative views.”

Barna found that Americans are embracing “a host of unbiblical perspectives,” with most blending an average of nine different worldviews into their personal worldview. While 66% of adults call themselves Christians, only 4% of adults and 6% of professing Christians hold a Biblical worldview. Following are two additional findings:

• “Nearly half of all adults claim that people are neither good nor bad when they are born, but become either good or bad on the basis of the decisions they make over the course of their life.”
• “Roughly one-third of all adults say they depend mostly on their reason and emotions to distinguish right from wrong.”

Ed. Note: Social media is possibly the greatest disciple-making platform of our day; many value the opinions of “influencers” over God’s inspired Word. Jeremiah 2:13 declares, “For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.”

14. NOTEWORTHY STORIES:

• Just The News reports, “Arizona’s Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs signed the repeal of the state’s Civil War-era near-total ban on abortion Thursday, a day after the legislation passed the state Senate.”
• The Christian Post reports, “The United Methodist Church General Conference voted to drop a ban on funding LGBT advocacy groups and removed a required punishment for pastors who officiate gay weddings after thousands of theologically conservative congregations left the mainline Protestant denomination in the last two years.”
• The New York Post reports, “Biden’s election-year budget pitch calls for $5.5 trillion in tax increases by raising rates on the wealthy and corporations – while spending $7.3 trillion on defense, federal benefit programs, affordable housing, and student debt cancellation, among other proposals.”
• The Daily Signal reports, “Under new federal guidelines, an employer would be guilty of harassment for requiring someone to use a restroom that comports with his or her biological sex, or for referring to someone by a pronoun the person doesn’t want used.”
• Just The News reports, “New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, billionaire investor Leon Cooperman, and industrialist Len Blavatnik have withdrawn donations to Columbia University or are considering doing so following the anti-Israel demonstrations on campus. The trio have donated nearly $100 million to Columbia…”
• Journalist Glenn Greenwald reports that The Daily Wire obtained a secret gag order against former Daily Wire host Candace Owens, while publicly negotiating a debate that never happened. Greenwald wrote, “The Daily Wire has succeeded in obtaining a gag order that, on its face, prevents Owens, in advance, from questioning or criticizing both the Daily Wire or Shapiro in any way.”

15. NOTEWORTHY QUOTES:

• “We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence: on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.” –JFK, April 27, 1961
• “Communism is secularism on the march. It is a mortal foe of Christianity. Either it will survive, or Christianity will triumph because, in this land of ours, the two cannot live side by side.” –FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, 1947
• “We must not be afraid to call out the communist for what he is: unhuman. Cultural Marxism and the Neo-Bolsheviks seek to tear away the human rights of all those around them…They seek to destroy civilization; they are against humanity itself. We must defend humanity. We must defend the civilizations that our forefathers built.” –Jack Posobiec
• “Hold on tight to your loved ones. Pray and be in the Word. It’s the only thing that is going to get us through. Physical preparations are advisable, but what’s coming will take mental and spiritual strength, because no one is coming to save us. Only the Lord Jesus Christ.” –Leo Hohmann
• “Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well the end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, and therefore to lay Christ in the bottom, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning.” –Harvard University’s original mission statement
• “The historical cycle seems to be: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to apathy, from apathy to dependency; and from dependency back to bondage once more.” –Unknown
• “Get married and have children. It’s not only good and godly and will bring you joy and legacy, but it’s a simple act of defiance against the oligarchs and the tyrants who would rather you die bitter, alone, and with nothing but robots by your side as you enter eternity.” –Charlie Kirk

FAITH, FAMILY, & FREEDOM REPORT

1. GOP SENATORS UNANIMOUSLY STAND AGAINST WHO TREATY: All 49 Republican U.S. Senators, led by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), signed a letter to Joe Biden declaring that “the most recently available version of the pandemic response treaty is dead on arrival.” The Senators also denounced the WHO’s proposed International Health Regulations and cosponsored Johnson’s S.444, the “No Pandemic Preparedness Treaty without Senate Approval Act.” The Sovereignty Coalition warned that if the WHO treaty is not defeated, “Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus will soon be able and more than willing to order us to ‘take the jab.’ That must not happen.”

2. STATES WORK TO COUNTER WHO: More States are pushing back against the globalist tyranny of the World Health Organization’s “pandemic treaty.” Mary Holland, the President of Children’s Health Defense, stated, “It is encouraging to see states like Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Utah pass resolutions to clarify that the WHO has no power to determine health policy in their states…There is no legitimate constitutional basis for the federal government to outsource health decision-making on pandemics to an international body.”

3. HEARTBEAT BILL NOW SAVING UNBORN BABIES FLORIDA: A six-week abortion ban took effect in the State of Florida, one year after Governor Ron Desantis signed the Heartbeat Bill into law. Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Matt Staver commented, “The Heartbeat Law will save countless lives, some of whom may become world leaders in science, medicine, and technology that will benefit the world…The Heartbeat Law will provide $30 million in public funds to help pregnant women and their children. Florida is now on the side of life.”

4. TENNESSEE PASSES “BABY OLIVIA ACT”: Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed the Baby Olivia Act, which requires public schools to show a detailed video of human development before birth. Republican State Representative Gino Bulso said, “It is a scientific fact that human life begins at conception…you have the entire genetic makeup of the child, and from that point on, it’s simply a matter of growth and development.”

5. KANSAS LEGISLATURE PASSES PRO-LIFE LAWS: The Kansas Legislature voted to override Democrat Governor Laura Kelly’s veto of pro-life laws. The bills include sales tax exemptions for pregnancy resource centers and make it a felony “to coerce a pregnant woman to have an abortion.” State House GOP leaders stated, “Coercing a woman to have an abortion when that is not her choice is always wrong, [we] are proud to stand together against abuses such as sex trafficking and sexual abuse…”

6. EL SALVADOR PRESIDENT INVESTIGATES CABINET: El Salvador President Nayib Bukele announced he was tasking his Attorney General with investigating his entire cabinet for bribery. Bukele declared, “There is one thing I fear, and that is leaving a bad legacy. I won’t be the president who didn’t steal but was surrounded by criminals. I want to be remembered as the president who didn’t steal and who didn’t let anyone else steal.”

7. FLORIDA PUSHES BACK AGAINST NEW TITLE IX RULES: Florida Governor Ron Desantis (R) said that his state would not comply with the new Title IX rules that widely expanded the definition of sex discrimination. Desantis exclaimed, “Florida rejects Joe Biden’s attempt to rewrite Title IX. We will not comply, and we will fight back. We are not gonna let Joe Biden try to inject men into women’s activities. ” Additionally,  the State Attorneys General of Texas and Louisiana are suing the Biden administration over the rule.

8. FLORIDA BANS LAB GROWN MEAT: Republican Governor Ron Desantis signed a bill banning the sale of lab-grown meat in Florida. Desantis explained, “What we’re protecting here is the [agricultural] industry against acts of man. Against an ideological agenda that wants to finger agriculture as the problem, that views things like raising cattle as destroying our climate…their goal is to get to a point where you will not be raising cattle.”

9. CASE AGAINST ARIZONA RANCHER DISMISSED: Prosecutors opted against a retrial in the case of 75-year-old Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly after he was accused of murdering an illegal immigrant on his property. Prosecutor Kim Hunley stated, “Because of the unique circumstances and challenges surrounding this case, the Santa Cruz County Attorney’s Office has decided not to seek a retrial.” Just the News reported, “Kelly has maintained his innocence ever since he was charged last year, and even rejected a plea deal…”

10. OKLAHOMA BANS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: The Oklahoma Legislature passed a bill banning illegal immigrants from the state. The bill says, “A person commits an impermissible occupation if the person is an alien and willfully and without permission enters and remains in the State of Oklahoma without having first obtained legal authorization to enter the United States.” Iowa, Tennessee, and Georgia have also passed laws cracking down on illegal immigration.

11. AMERICANS SUPPORT MASS DEPORTATIONS: A new poll found that the majority of Americans support Donald Trump’s plan for a mass deportation of illegal immigrants if he becomes President again. 68% of Republicans and 42% of Democrats affirmed the plan. Trump has stated, “We are going to have the largest deportation effort in the history of our country, bringing everybody back where they came from. We have no choice.”

12. RUMBLE DEFIES NEW ZEALAND TYRANNY: Chris Pavlovski, CEO of Rumble, announced that his platform would not remove FreeNZMedia after requests to do so from the New Zealand National Health Authority. FreeNZMedia had been reporting on the findings of whistleblower Barry Young, who called out the cover-up of vaccine deaths in the country. Pavloski related, “[Young] went through all the data, found the different batches of vaccines that had an irregular high death rate and published that.”

13. STATES BAN FEDERAL ELECTION MONITORS: Eight States have banned election monitors from the Department of Justice in the upcoming General election. Florida Governor Ron Desantis stated, “DOJ personnel are not included on the list of who may enter any polling room or polling place.” According to Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, “The United States Department of Justice has been the largest purveyor of election disinformation in the world for the last several years.”

14. REPEALING BIG BROTHER OVERREACH ACT INTRODUCED: Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) introduced the Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act, a bill designed to repeal The Corporate Transparency Act which puts onerous restrictions on small business owners. Tuberville wrote, “My bill would provide millions of small businesses and entrepreneurial Americans with regulatory and compliance relief and remove a weapon for political persecution from rouge prosecutors and the IRS.”

15. ALABAMA CRACKS DOWN ON PORNOGRAPHY: Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed a bill requiring age verification to access pornographic websites. The law will go into effect on October 1. State Representative Bob Robbins (R) stated, “We are dealing with a mental health crisis exacerbated by children’s easy access to adult content. I am proud to pass a bill which makes major strides to protect young minds and addresses issues plaguing societal growth.”

16. ARIZONA GOP CALLS COVID VACCINES “BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS”: Journalist Peter Sweden wrote on X/Twitter, “Arizona GOP just declared COVID injections ‘biological weapons.’ They are calling on the Governor to BAN and SEIZE all COVID injections for a forensic analysis. This is big news, yet I haven’t seen anything about it on the mainstream media.”
