AGENDA Weekly Brief Week of March 4-10 by Curtis Bowers

Dear Friends,

In her classic book, The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life, author Hannah Whitehall Smith wrote, “Cease to consider your emotions, for they are only the servants, and regard simply your will, which is the real king in your being. Is that given up to God? Is that put into His hands? Does your will decide to believe? Does your will choose to obey? If this is the case, then you are in the Lord’s hands…and the thing is done.”

Smith continues, “Your part is to simply put your will over on God’s side, making up your mind that you will believe what He says because He says it, and that you will not pay any regard to the feelings that make it seem so unreal. God will not fail to respond sooner or later with His revelation to such a faith.”

1. TUCKER CARLSON DESTROYS J6 NARRATIVE: Tucker Carlson aired January 6 footage provided by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) demolishing the establishment’s “insurrection” narrative. The footage proves that Ray Epps lied to Congress, Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick was not murdered by protestors, and Capitol police acted as “tour guides” to J6 political prisoner Jacob Chansley. Carlson said the January 6 lies “created a pretext for a federal crackdown on opponents of the Uniparty in Washington.”

However, The Gateway Pundit notes that while Monday night’s show was explosive, Tuesday’s was tampered down, and no new video content was released on Wednesday and Thursday’s shows: “Now there are suggestions that Rupert Murdoch and the FOX News brass got to Tucker and forced him to change his show plan.”

Ed. Note: Gustave Le Bon wrote in his 1895 book, The Crowd, “Crowds are influenced mainly by images produced by the judicious employment of words and formulas.” For more, read Newly Released Surveillance Footage Challenges Official January 6 Narrative and A Handy January 6 Fact Sheet.

2. THE UNIPARTY KNIVES COME OUT FOR TUCKER: Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) demanded, “Rupert Murdoch has a special obligation to stop Tucker Carlson from going on tonight…our democracy depends on it.” The White House said Tucker Carlson’s January 6 coverage “is not credible.” Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger claimed that Carlson’s coverage was “filled with offensive and misleading conclusions.”

Republicans piled on as well, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) saying, “With regard to the presentation on Fox News last night, I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of the Capitol Police about what happened on January 6.” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) said the release was “definitely stupid,” while Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) said, “I am not interested in whitewashing January 6.” Even National Review magazine attacked Tucker.

Tucker Carlson said, “What you’re seeing is hysteria. The overstatements, the crazed hyperbole, the red-in-the-face anger. It’s not outrage; it’s fear.” Juanita Broaddrick commented,” I pray for Tucker Carlson’s safety. He’s going up against the most evil people in history.”

3. U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS FILES SUIT AGAINST JP MORGAN OVER EPSTEIN CRIMES: The Attorney General’s office of the U.S. Virgin Islands has filed a scathing First Amended Complaint lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, alleging, “JP Morgan did business with Jeffrey Epstein from as early as 1998 to 2013. In that time, JP Morgan serviced approximately fifty-five Epstein-related accounts collectively worth hundreds of millions of dollars.” Russ and Pam Martens note, “JPMorgan Chase has a history of employing some of the most sophisticated sleuths in the country, including people with prior employment at the CIA, FBI, and Secret Service. To believe that JPMorgan Chase did not know what Epstein was all about by 2011 is to believe in the tooth fairy.”

4. BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PUSHES MASS VACCINATION CAMPAIGN FOR CHICKENS: The Biden Administration wants a mass vaccination campaign for chickens as the nation struggles with an avian influenza pandemic. One of the chief proponents of the vaccination campaign is former Pfizer executive Kristin Peck, who sits on the board of Blackrock and is CEO of bird flu vaccine manufacturer Zoetis. One Zoetis vaccine currently under development carries this warning: “In case of accidental human injection, seek immediate medical attention.”

Ed. Note: We encourage you to look for locally sourced food from farmers you know whenever possible and consider what you can grow in your own backyard.

5. SPLC ATTORNEY ARRESTED FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM: Thomas Webb Jurgens, a lawyer with the radical Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), was one of 35 Antifa extremists arrested for violently attacking a police training center in Atlanta, Georgia. The SPLC claimed that Jurgens was simply there “as a legal observer on behalf of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG).” Ed. Note: the National Lawyers Guild was formed in 1936 as a legal front for the Communist Party USA. Libby Emmons responded, “The SPLC is a far-left group spouting off propaganda to support ideology, not justice. They harbor violent extremists among their ranks while accusing others of doing the exact same thing that they are doing themselves.”

6. TENSIONS ESCALATE WITH CHINA, NORTH KOREA: The Chinese Communist Party is increasing its military budget by 7.2 percent. This comes as former intelligence officer Grant Newsham and Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro say China is outpacing the United States in building military ships. Chinese dictator Xi Jinping further consolidated his power during the March meeting of the CCP’s rubber-stamp National People’s Congress. Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang recently threatened, “If the United States does not hit the brakes, but continues to speed down the wrong path, no amount of guardrails can prevent derailing, and there surely will be conflict and confrontation.”

Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, responded to a joint U.S. South Korean training exercise by warning the country is read “to take appropriate, quick and overwhelming action at any time according to our judgment.” In related news, Saudi Arabia and Iran have agreed to reestablish ties in recent talks hosted by China.

A new survey finds that 43 percent of American voters believe World War III is imminent.

7. JILL BIDEN PRESENTS BIOLOGICAL MALE WITH “INTERNATIONAL WOMEN OF COURAGE AWARD”: First Lady Jill Biden presented Alba Rueda, a biological male who pretends to be a woman, with an “International Women of Courage Award,” during “Women’s History Month.” Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded, “It’s International Women’s Day – a good time to remember that Democrats can’t even tell you what a woman is.”

8. LOCKDOWN FILES EXPOSE BRITISH RESPONSE TO COVID: U.K.’s The Telegraph reported it received “more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages sent between British Health Secretary Matt Hancock (who resigned in June 2021 over improprieties) and other ministers and officials at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.” The Telegraph reports, “Throughout the course of the pandemic, officials and ministers wrestled with how to ensure the public complied with ever-changing lockdown restrictions. One weapon in their arsenal was fear.” On December 13, 2020, Hancock suggested, “We frighten the pants off everyone with the new strain” and asked, “When do we deploy the new variant?”

9. FORMER CDC DIRECTOR SAYS NIH RESEARCH CAUSED LAB LEAK: In a hearing before the House Covid origins select committee, former CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield was asked, “American tax dollars funded the gain-of-function research that created this [Covid-19] virus?” Redfield replied, “I think there’s no doubt that NIH was funding gain-of-function research.” Redfield said he believed gain-of-function research “probably caused the greatest pandemic our world has seen.”

10. GOVERNMENT WEAPONIZATION STORIES: Politico reports, “For years, the Department of Homeland Security has run a virtually unknown program gathering domestic intelligence…” The Washington Post reports, “The FBI and the Defense Department were actively involved in research and development of facial recognition software that they hoped could be used to identify people from video footage captured by street cameras and flying drones…”

The Federalist reports, “The FBI’s D.C. field office directed the Boston office to open investigations into more than 100 Americans who had attended the January 6 rally despite having no evidence those individuals had committed any crime.” The Daily Signal reports, “President Joe Biden’s proposed 2024 budget calls for investing huge sums of money into the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division—the same division disproportionately targeting pro-life activists with Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act charges as a response to the overturn of Roe v. Wade.”

11. TUCKER ASKS, “WHERE ARE THE SO-CALLED CHRISTIAN LEADERS”?: In a recent monologue, Tucker Carlson asked why so many Christian leaders refuse to speak out as the FBI and Merrick Garland’s DOJ target American Christians and pro-lifers like Mark Houck and Paul Vaughn: “You have to wonder when you see a tape like that, where are so-called Christian leaders? Where’s Russell Moore and all the other breast-beating Christians as that happens, as the U.S. government cracks down on Christianity, on prayer? Silent.” Carlson further asked why Christian leaders are silent in the faith of Canada’s crackdown on all opposition to the LGBTQ agenda: “You have to wonder that again. Where’s David French and Beth Moore and Tim Keller, and all these people who are defending Christianity as actual Christians are being arrested for being Christians? Hmm. Not a word.”

12. TRUMP GOES TO CPAC: Former President Donald Trump won the CPAC straw poll with 62%, followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with 20%. In his speech, Trump said, “In 2016, I declared, ‘I am your voice.’ Today, I add, I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.” Trump called out RINOs, declaring, “We are never going back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, and Jeb Bush.” Trump outlined the stakes of 2024, “This is the final battle. They know it. I know it. You know it. Everybody knows that this is it. Either they win, or we win. And if they win, we no longer have a country.”

13. WILLIAMSON ANNOUNCES PRESIDENTIAL RUN, KENNEDY CONSIDERING: The pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQ author, activist, former presidential candidate, and “spiritual leader” Marianne Williamson has announced her candidacy for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and the son of former Senator Robert F. Kennedy, is “thinking” about challenging Biden for the Democratic nomination. RFK, Jr., a rare liberal who vehemently rejects Covid tyranny and defends free speech and constitutional rights, said, “I’ve passed the biggest hurdle, which is that my wife has green-lighted it.”

• German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius admitted, “We have no armed forces that are capable of defence, i.e., capable of defending against an offensive brutally conducted war of aggression.”
• Canada’s National Observer claims, “Researchers have found a tight relationship between harmful forms of masculinity, right-wing extremism, and the refusal to deal with the climate crisis. Fostered by the fossil fuel industry, this confluence has been dubbed ‘petro-masculinity.’”

FAITH, FAMILY, & FREEDOM REPORT

1. IOWA TO PROTECT TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE: A group of eight representatives in the Iowa State Legislature introduced two bills that would protect religious liberty in the state and affirm marriage as a “solemnized union between one human biological male and one human biological female.” While one of the bills is dedicated to banning same-sex marriage, its companion bill would nullify the Respect For Marriage Act’s encroachment on religious liberties by declaring it would “have no effect whatsoever in Iowa.”

2. TENNESSEE PROTECTS CHILDREN’S INNOCENCE: Tennessee governor Bill Lee recently signed two bills protecting children by banning puberty blockers, gender-altering surgeries, and drag queen performances. Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, who a co-sponsored the bills, said in a statement, “This bill gives confidence to parents that they can take their kids to a public or private show and will not be blindsided by a sexualized performance.”

3. NYC MAYOR LAMENTS REPLACEMENT OF PRAYER IN SCHOOLS: At an Interfaith breakfast on March 7, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said, “When we took prayers out of schools, guns came into schools.” Predictably, the New York Civil Liberties Union was quick to condemn the mayor’s comment, saying, “In order for our government to truly represent us, it must not favor any belief over another.”

4. CONSERVATIVE REPRESENTATIVES LAUNCH CONGRESSIONAL FAMILY CAUCUS: Three U.S. Representatives have created the Congressional Family Caucus to “defend the natural family from attempts by the radical Left to erode this core foundation of our society.” Representatives Miller, Babin, and Harshbarger launched the new caucus in support of the traditional view of family, saying the family “is essential for a nation to prosper because the family is the root of self-government, service, community, and personal responsibility.”

5. 61% OF VOTERS REJECT ESTABLISHMENT JANUARY 6 NARRATIVE: A new poll by Rasmussen reveals that 61% of voters believe federal agents helped provoke the events on January 6. 57% of Democrats and 70% of Republicans said it was either likely or very likely that agents took part in the riot. This poll comes as the controversial release of hours of unedited footage inside the Capitol on January 6 undermines the official narrative of that day.

6. MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BELIEVE COVID CAME FROM WUHAN LAB: A new Rasmussen poll shows that Americans were far ahead of their government when it came to the origins of Covid-19. According to the poll, 67% of voters, including 53% of Democrats, already believed that Covid was leaked from the Wuhan lab before the Energy Department and FBI suggested Covid emerged from a lab.

7. MORE STATES WITHDRAW FROM LEFTIST ERIC SYSTEM: As voter integrity efforts around the country continue, the state of Florida has withdrawn from the leftist-controlled Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd announced, “Florida has tried to back reforms to increase protections, but these protections were refused. Therefore, we have lost confidence in ERIC.” Four other states (Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, and West Virginia) have also left the organization.

8. MISSISSIPPI DOCTORS CALL FOR END TO COVID VACCINES: A group of physicians, speaking at the Mississippi Capitol, demanded that Covid vaccines in the state be stopped altogether. Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the physicians testifying at the Capitol, told The Epoch Times, “There can be no more administration of the COVID-19 vaccines in the state of Mississippi.”

9. DESANTIS CALLS FOR BIDEN TO ALLOW UNVACCINATED DJOKOVIC INTO U.S.: Novak Djokovic, the world-class Serbian tennis player who has refused to get the Covid shot, is once again not allowed to travel to America because of his vaccination status. In a letter to President Biden, Governor Ron DeSantis called for Djokovic to be allowed to travel to America, saying, “Mr. President – lift your restrictions and let him compete… It’s time to put pandemic politics aside and give the American people what they want – let him play.”

10. ANTI-GLOBALISTS PROTEST IN FRANCE: Millions of protesters in France made their voices heard regarding the disastrous policies of the Macron regime. Protests erupted over France’s destruction of its energy sector, its draconian Covid policies, and the Macron administration’s plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.

11. FARMERS PROTEST GREEN AGENDA IN BELGIUM: Farmers and around 2,700 tractors overwhelmed Brussels, Belgium, last Friday in a massive protest regarding the government’s new plans to limit nitrogen emissions. Agricultural organizations released a joint statement saying that the nitrogen agreement “will cause a socio-economic carnage.” Farmers continue to stand up against the globalist Great Reset.

12. VANGUARD ABANDONS ESG INVESTING: Tim Buckley, chief executive at Vanguard, announced that the investment management firm will not continue with ESG. In an interview, Buckley said, “Our research indicates that ESG investing does not have any advantage over broad-based investing.” This comes as the movement to oppose ESG is growing, and awareness of the draconian intent behind the globalist scheme is becoming more widespread.

13. FAITH-BASED ADOPTION AGENCY WINS CASE: New York State officials have agreed to pay $250,000 in legal fees after actively working to shut down New Hope Family Services. Alliance Defending Freedom’s Senior Counsel Roger Brooks stated, “New Hope is a private religious ministry that doesn’t take a dime from the government. Further, New Hope’s faith-guided services don’t coerce anyone and do nothing to interfere with other adoption providers who have different beliefs about family and the best interests of children.”

14. GROWING SUPPORT FOR POLICE OFFICER JACOB KERSEY: Jacob Kersey, the 19-year-old Georgia police officer who quit his job instead of going against his belief in biblical marriage, has gained tremendous support from across the country. Over 30,000 signatures have been gathered to petition city officials of Port Wentworth, GA, to apologize for their unfair treatment. Kersey, in response, said, “I think God has really used this [situation] to continue to sound the alarm on the attack on religious liberty.”

15. FRANKLIN GRAHAM PREACHES IN VIETNAM: Over 14,000 gathered to hear evangelist Franklin Graham preach in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Persecution.org reports, “The event has made history as the first time the Communist Vietnamese government has given permission for an evangelistic outreach with a foreign speaker outside of a holiday.” Graham said, “Many people put their faith and trust in Christ here in Ho Chi Minh City. We just thank God for the opportunity to come to this country to preach the gospel… He’s just done a great work here, and many people’s lives have been changed.”

HYMN OF THE WEEK

Take Time to Be Holy By William Longstaff

Take time to be holy! Speak oft with thy Lord!
Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word.
Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.

Take time to be holy! The world rushes on.
Spend much time in secret, with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.

Take time to be holy! Let Him be thy Guide,
And run not before Him, whatever betide!
In joy or in sorrow, still follow thy Lord,
And, looking to Jesus, still trust in His Word!
