AGENDA Weekly Brief Week of June 10-16-23 [blog portion]

Dear Friends,

William Romaine said, “My time is short; I must be up and doing. I must go briskly on with my work, leaving it to my Lord to find me strength for it, and success in it. His blessing I expect here and forever – not for anything I have done; and yet I would labor as hard as if heaven was to be the reward of my labors.”

1. BIDEN TOOK $5 MILLION BRIBE: Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) revealed that in 2015/2016, Joe Biden and Hunter Biden each received a $5 million bribe from Burisma Holdings, the gas company of which Hunter was a board member, to fire a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma at the time. Another witness to Biden family corruption, former Israeli Defense Force colonel Gal Luft, has skipped bail in Cyprus after awaiting extradition to the U.S. for seven likely manufactured charges. Luft said, “The chances of me getting a fair trial in Washington are virtually zero. I had to do what I had to do.”

2. DOJ INDICTS TRUMP:  Former President Trump posted on Truth Social, “The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1850 boxes at the University of Delaware, additional boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is ‘secured’ by only a garage door that is paper thin, and open much of the time.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) tweeted, “The SAME DAY [House Oversight Committee] is shown a document by the FBI showing evidence that Biden and his son were each paid $5 million dollars by a foreign national, the DOJ indicts Trump. Coincidental? I think not.” Journalist Julie Kelly warns that the January 6 investigation “poses far greater legal jeopardy for Trump” than does the boxes hoax, and could be used to convict Trump with the “seditious conspiracy” charge levied on members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

Ed. Note: Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden, along with Vice President Pence, have yet to be charged over classified documents they took. The raid on Mar-a-Lago was most likely about taking documents Trump legally possessed that exposed the Deep State’s “Russia Collusion” crimes. The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd writes, “Every time Democrats’ and their cronies hand down an impeachment or indictment of Trump, they are really indicting you.”

3. INSTAGRAM ALGORITHMS PROMOTE PEDOPHILIA: An investigation from The Wall Street Journal and Stanford University/University of Massachusetts Amherst reveals that Instagram “helps connect and promote a vast network of accounts openly devoted to the commission and purchase of underage-sex content” and details how Instagram’s recommendation system “connects pedophiles and guides them to content sellers.” Instagram claims it is now taking steps to curb the material.

Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) tweeted, “Where is the FBI? Shouldn’t heinous crimes like this be its top priority? Or are they too busy classifying concerned parents as domestic extremists to bring down the hammer on these despicable criminals?” Brownstone President Jeffrey A. Tucker tweeted, “This is an unbearably shocking story, and keep in mind that Instagram was at the same time blocking accounts that put down masking and lockdowns or otherwise raised questions about the vaccines. They were also heavily infiltrated by the feds.”

4. MIKE PENCE ENTERS 2024 RACE: Former Vice President Mike Pence has announced a 2024 bid for the Republican Presidential nomination. Pence said he has “no interest or no intention” of pardoning January 6 defendants and claimed they were given “due process.” Attorney Rogan O’Handley said of Pence, “Benedict Pence keeps lying about J6. Nobody told him to ‘overturn the election.’ There was widespread fraud, and state legislatures wanted to investigate further. Pence had the power to facilitate that, but certified the fraud instead. He betrayed his oath.”

O’Handley further revealed, “In the days leading up to J6, I was informed by trusted sources that Pence wasn’t going to contest the rigged electoral college results. I couldn’t believe it. How could he backstab 74 million people & allow fraud to overthrow our executive branch? But then I was told why…He cut a deal with the Koch fundraising network to be their lead horse in 2024 if he backstabbed Trump and the MAGA movement in 2020. To those that say he didn’t have the power to contest fraudulent ballots and allow state legislatures to conduct further review, then why did they change the Electoral College Act in 2022 to explicitly state the VP could no longer facilitate that exact process? Because Pence could, and he knew it, but he took the blood money anyway…”

5. BIDEN ADMIN TO HOST LARGEST WHITE HOUSE PRIDE CELEBRATION “IN HISTORY”: Thousands will likely attend the celebration, and Joe Biden will announce new measures “aimed at pushing transgenderism and other elements of progressive ideology,” reports Breitbart. Biden’s State Department is also flying Pride flags in all of its embassies across the world, with the notable exception of those in Muslim countries.

In Philadelphia, a Christian protestor was arrested for quoting Bible verses near an LGBT “Pride” march. Fox News is going all in for Pride Month, Nike plans to partner with a doctor who has performed gender surgeries on children, and Walmart is providing LGBT products for Pride Month. Target is still under fire from both right and left, as over 200 LGBT groups are demanding Target denounce “anti-LGBTQ+ extremism” and restock its “pride” collection.

6. MEDIA ACCELERATES ASSAULT ON HOMESCHOOLING: The Washington Post recently published an extensive article entitled “The Revolt of the Christian Homeschoolers.” Hal Lindsey writes, “You would think from this headline that the homeschooling movement in the United States is dying. But that’s not true. In fact, it is exploding in popularity. According to Education Week, ‘American families homeschooling at least one child grew from 5.4% in spring 2020 to 11.1% in fall 2021…The number of Black families choosing to homeschool increased five-fold during that time, from 3.3% to 16.1%.’”

Ed. Note: One of the greatest blessings of Covid was the exposure of the government schools and the following surge in homeschooling. For more, read Washington Post’s Homeschooling Smears Won’t Stanch Public School Hemorrhage by Joy Pullman.

7. GREEN TYRANNY COMES FOR MIDWEST FARMERS: Greg Price of the State House Freedom Caucus Network reports that “over 80 South Dakota landowners” are facing eminent domain lawsuits from Summit Carbon Solutions (SCS), a company planning to construct a 2,00-mile carbon capture pipeline across five states.

Top officers and advisors to SCS and its parent company Summit Agricultural Group include former Iowa Governor Terry Brandstad; Jake Ketzner, former Chief of Staff to current Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds; and Bruce Rastetter, one of Iowa’s largest GOP donors. SCS was a platinum sponsor to South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem’s January inauguration.

Ed. Note: The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states, “Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” For more, read When Green Energy Comes For Your Farm.

8. MORE J6 LIES REVEALED: Over 300 people entered by one Capitol door that was “left open and mostly unguarded for key moments” on January 6. In at least two instances, the January 6 House Committee added audio to silent Capitol security footage. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) discovered that the D.C. police department had undercover officers embedded in the crowd of rioters, including at least one who encouraged people “to climb the scaffolding and go into the Capitol.”

Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes testified, “The conditions here in DC jail are terrible.  Locked in our cells, alone, except for outdoor recreation in a dog-run cage twice a week, and an indoor cage once a week. Cuffed at all times, even to go take a shower. And put in chains/leg irons often.”

9. USPS DRIVER VINDICATED: A final report from the U.S. Postal Service vindicates truck driver Jesse Morgan, who witnessed an estimated over 200,000 completed ballots shipped across state lines on October 21, 2020. Following the 2020 election, then Attorney-General Bill Barr called private investigator Colonel Tony Schaeffer and told him to stop looking into the Morgan case.

10. THREE TALES OF CENSORSHIP: Fox News is accusing Tucker Carlson of breaking his contract with them by posting on Twitter, following his first Twitter episode, which received over 110 million views. Axios reports, “Carlson was told by a senior Fox executive that the network’s goal is to keep him sidelined until 2025,” after the 2024 election. A proposed California bill would promote “media literacy” and help K-12 students identify “fake news.” Democrat Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was temporarily banned from Instagram.

Ed. Note: RFK Jr. recently warned, “There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who are censoring free speech were the good guys. They’re always the bad guys. It’s always the first step toward totalitarianism.”

11. LOCKDOWNS WERE FAR WORSE THAN COVID: A new peer-reviewed meta analysis confirms that lockdowns caused much more destruction than did Covid-19. Study co-author Dr. Lars Jonung concluded, “Lockdowns were a failed promise. They had negligible health effects but disastrous economic, social, and political costs to society. Most likely, lockdowns represent the biggest policy mistake in modern times.”

Ed. Note: Consistency was never a virtue of ignorance. Far from being a “mistake,” the lockdown plan closely followed the script laid out by the World Economic Forum, Bill Gates, and other global elites at Event 201, just weeks before the outbreak of Covid-19. Dr. Michael Yeadon notes, “No mistakes were made. The objective was to get a needle in every arm.”

12. DID RUSSIA OR UKRAINE BLOW UP THE DAM? Both Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of blowing up the Novaya Kakhovka hydroelectric dam in Ukraine. World Affairs Brief editor Joel Skousen believes only Russia had the capabilities to destroy (not just damage) the entire dam, which sat in Russian-controlled territory. Skousen notes, “Taking out the entire dam couldn’t have been done with a HIMARS precision missile, or even 10. It takes tons of explosives.”

In his first Twitter episode, Tucker Carlson pointed out, “Kakhovka dam was effectively Russian. It was built by the Russian government and currently sits in Russian-controlled territory. Blowing up the dam may be bad for Ukraine, but it hurts Russia more and for precisely that reason the Ukrainian government has considered destroying it…Any fair person would conclude that the Ukrainians probably blew it up.”

13. WHO ANNOUNCES NEW GLOBAL VACCINE PASSPORT SCHEME: The World Health Organization is teaming up with the European Commission to launch a “landmark digital health partnership” promoting a global digital vaccine passport. Dr. Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D., warned a digital vaccine passport “means restraints on movement and living for the unvaccinated and forced vaccination to participate in life.”

14. NOTEWORTHY STORIES:

• Life Site News reports, “Amid growing backlash, multiple Chosen actors took to Twitter last week to attack those outraged by the ‘pride’ flags and declare their support for LGBT ideology.”
• Two towns in England are piloting a universal basic income (UBI) program. Technocrat Elon Musk once stated, “UBI means that unemployed people will be paid across the globe…machines, robots are taking over. There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better.”
• In Kellog, Idaho, 18-year-old Travis Lohr was cut from his school’s graduation ceremony after he told students, “Guys are guys, and girls are girls. There is no in-between.”
• Ireland is considering culling 200,000 cows to fight “climate change.” The Irish Farmers’ Association president Tim Cullinan said, “Reports like this only serve to further fuel the view that the government is working behind the scenes to undermine our dairy and livestock sectors.”
• Iran, a totalitarian country that executes protestors, is now vice president of the U.N. General Assembly.
• American Airlines has grounded 150 of its planes due to a shortage of pilots.

• Leo Hohmann reports, “Georgia recently became one of at least 12 states that are rolling out new digital ID driver’s licenses, which of course is exactly what the globalists at the World Economic Forum have been clamoring for since the onset of their push for a ‘Great Reset…’”
• In an interview with Jen Psaki, former FBI director James Comey revealed how terrified the intelligence community is of Donald Trump, stating, “Think about what four years of a retribution presidency might look like. He could order the investigation and prosecution of individuals who he sees as enemies.”

FAITH, FAMILY, & FREEDOM REPORT

1. ISLAM WEAKENING IN IRAN: An Iranian cleric reports around two-thirds (50,000) of mosques in Iran are currently closed, indicating the Muslim religion is dramatically weakening. In related news, an Iranian Christian couple was released from prison after a judge ruled home churches were not illegal. Article 18 Director Mansour Borji praised the judge, but stated, “Unfortunately, not many judges can be found who would so clearly acknowledge the rights of the wrongly accused Christians and refute the unjust verdicts issued against them.”

2. FORMER HOMOSEXUAL TAKES BACK THE RAINBOW: Nichol Collins lived an LGBTQ lifestyle, but after she gave her life to Christ, she made it her mission to take back the rainbow by sharing the gospel and helping others overcome unnatural lifestyles. Collins stated, “The rainbow belongs to God. God made a covenant. It was a sign from God. He promised never to destroy the earth by flood but by judgment by fire on the next time. So, I just believe that we as Christians can’t be afraid to wear it.”

Ed. Note: The LGBTQ rainbow has six colors, the number of rebellion. God’s rainbow has seven colors, the number of perfection.

3. CANADIANS STUDENTS STAGE WALK OUT: Thousands of Canadian public school students staged a massive walkout, protesting “Pride Month.” Jack Fonseca, director of political operations at Campaign Life Coalition, stated, “The first ever National ‘Pride’ Flag Walk-Out Day was a huge success. The parent participation and student absence rates in many schools and parts of Canada was much higher than we had even dreamed of achieving…Windsor, Ontario’s Northwood Public School saw 600 out of its 800 students stay home on June 1st. That’s a staggering 75% walk-out.”

4. 175 MILLION VIEW WHAT IS A WOMAN DOCUMENTARY: Matt Walsh’s new documentary, which shares the truth about biological gender, far outpaced any other last weekend with over 175 million views. Twitter briefly banned the documentary but later allowed it to return. The Daily Wire reported, “It’s the movie they really don’t want you to see.”

5. TRANSGENDERISM REMAINS UNPOPULAR: A new poll conducted by Rasmussen reveals 71% of Americans believe there are only two genders, while 60% of those surveyed favor banning “gender transition procedures” on children. Meg Kilgannon, Senior Fellow of the Family Research Council, stated, “We need the full body of Christ engaged on this [issue]. There are some of us who are called to sound the warning bells and to fight the political battles. And we need other people to be there to minister to the refugees that are going to be coming into our churches, who are looking for healing [from] Jesus, the divine physician.”

6. TEXAS SHIELDS CHILDREN FROM TRANSGENDER MADNESS: Texas moved to protect kids from transgenderism after Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed a bill banning transgender drugs and surgeries. Texas is the 13th state to ban transgender treatments and surgeries on minors. Joel Abbott of Not The Bee responded, “Way to go, Texas. You still know good from evil, and that makes all the difference.”

7. MISSOURI PROTECTS WOMEN AND CHILDREN: Governor Mike Parson (R) signed two bills banning males from competing in women’s sports and banning transgender surgeries and treatments on minors. Governor Parson stated, “We must protect children from making life-altering decisions that they could come to regret in adulthood once they have physically and emotionally matured.”

Ed. Note: Unfortunately, this new law is set to expire in 2027. Hopefully, Missourians will press their elected officials to make these protections permanent.

8. SOCIAL CONSERVATISM GROWING: A new Gallup poll revealed conservatism is rising in the US. The poll found 38% of respondents identified as conservative on social issues, while 29% identified as liberal. According to Gallup, “For most of the past eight years, Americans were about as likely to say they were liberal as conservative on social issues. This year, there is a more obvious conservative advantage.”

9. JONATHAN ISAAC STARTS CLOTHING BRAND: NBA player Jonathan Isaac released a new brand of “anti-woke” merchandise, stating, “UNITUS is a sports and apparel company, and the basis of it for me is freedom…We can be proud of what we believe in. We don’t have to hide or be ashamed of it.” Isaac has refused to kneel for the national anthem, has refused to take the Covid vax, and continues to stand as a witness for Christ.

10. CHIEFS KICKER STANDS FOR THE UNBORN: At the White House, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker stood for the unborn, honoring those aborted, and affirming life. In a press release, Butker stated, “I want to give the most vulnerable, the unborn, a voice at a place where every effort has been made to allow and normalize the tragic termination of their lives…Every life is precious and should be valued whether outside or inside the womb.”

11. FLORIDA AG WINS OVER BIDEN ADMINISTRATION: Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has won another victory against the Biden Administration. Judge T. Kent Wetherell of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to keep in place Florida’s injunction on the DHS’ rule allowing illegal immigrants to come into the country unchecked. Moody stated, “Protecting our border is one of the most fundamental responsibilities of our president, and Florida will not allow Joe Biden and Secretary Mayorkas to continue putting American lives at risk in clear violation of federal law.”

12. HOUSE CONSERVATIVES REVOLT AGAINST MCCARTHY: Members of the House Freedom Caucus voted across the aisle to defeat a Republican bill protecting gas stoves in protest of Kevin McCarthy’s debt ceiling deal. Representative Dan Bishop (R-NC) stated, “We had an agreement that had been forged by all of us together, and it was utterly jettisoned unilaterally by the speaker. And there’s been nothing so far to address the consequences of that.”

13. JEWS AGAINST SOROS LAUNCHES: Josh Hammer and Will Scharf launched the new organization “Jews Against Soros,” dedicated to countering George Soros’ oppressive agenda. Hammer stated, “George Soros is a destructive civilizational force in America, Israel, his native Hungary, and throughout the West more generally.” Their website states, “Leftism isn’t Judaism, and being anti-leftist is not the same as being Antisemitic. Period. It’s time for Jews all over America to stand up against George Soros.”

14. FRANKLIN GRAHAM SPEAKS IN SOUTH KOREA: Evangelist Franklin Graham spoke before a crowd of 70,000 in Seoul to mark the 50th anniversary of his father’s famous crusade in the city. Graham stated, “I’ve come just to preach a simple message of God’s love for the Korean people. I want the people of Korea to know how they can have a personal relationship with God. That’s through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.”

HYMN OF THE WEEK

May The Mind of Christ My Savior by Kate B. Wilkinson

May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and pow’r controlling
All I do and say!

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His pow’r.

May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me,
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him!
