AGENDA Weekly Brief Week of May 4-10 of 2024 – by Curtis Bowers

Dear Friends,

Jonathan Edwards once admonished, “A true and faithful Christian does not make holy living an accidental thing. It is his great concern. As the business of the soldier is to fight, so the business of the Christian is to be like Christ.”

1. ARE GUILLOTINES NOW WOKE? A shocking video showed pro-Palestinian students at a George Washington University protest encampment holding a “People’s Tribunal” and calling for their campus leaders to be executed on guillotines. In the mock tribunal, one woman asked, “How do the people find you? The crowd shouted, “Guilty!” then “Guillotine! Guillotine! Guillotine!” Journalist Grayson Bakich wrote, “The fact that these kids are openly and publicly calling for the deaths of specific people who can very likely hear them just underscores how insane these ‘protests’ really are.”

Breitbart reports, “The pro-Palestinian, antisemitic protests on university campuses across the nation are funded by President Joe Biden’s own political donors [including George Soros, the Rockefellers, and the Pritzkers] – which could explain why he hesitates to condemn them and won’t investigate them.” The Wall Street Journal found that the protests “were the result of months of training, planning, and encouragement by longtime activists and left-wing groups.”

James Howard Kunstler reports that at least half of the protestors who “occupied” Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall were professional activists, paid up to $7,000 each by leftist organizations. Kunstler wrote, “It has been observed that a clear majority of the pro-Hamas activists are young women – which makes sense considering that they are the largest demographic evincing mental illness on America’s social landscape these days. Thus, they are marching in support of a sect that specializes in the rape, mutilation, and murder of young women like themselves, or at least treats them as chattels, hidden under black bag-like garments.”

Ed. Note: As one SDS radical wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” Lord Acton, in his Lectures on the French Revolution, observed, “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke, we perceive the evidence of calculating organization. The managers remain studiously concealed and masked, but there is no doubt about their presence from the first.”

2. BIDEN WITHHOLDS ARMS FROM ISRAEL: The Biden regime paused a Congressionally-authorized shipment of 3,500 bombs, as Israel moved toward an invasion of the Gazan city of Rafah. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) responded, “The House has no choice but to impeach Biden based on the Trump-Ukraine precedent of withholding foreign aid to help with reelection. Only with Biden, it’s true.” Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) accused Biden of “trying to play both sides” in order to keep pro-Palestinian protestors happy.

American military expert John Spencer recently observed, “In their criticism, Israel’s opponents are erasing a remarkable, historic new standard Israel has set. In my long career studying and advising on urban warfare for the U.S. military, I’ve never known an army to take such measures to attend to the enemy’s civilian population, especially while simultaneously combating the enemy in the very same buildings. In fact, by my analysis, Israel has implemented more precautions to prevent civilian harm than any military in history – above and beyond what international law requires and more than the U.S. did in its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

Ed. Note: Unfortunately, the U.S. House is not considering impeaching Biden for his corrupt business dealings abroad, or for allowing 10 million illegals into the country.

3. ARE MUSLIMS TAKING OVER THE U.K.? Following a wave of local electoral successes, Muslim activists in the U.K. issued a list of 18 non-negotiable demands to Labour Party leader Keir Starmer – including cutting military aid to Israel – promising to withdraw support in the upcoming elections if the demands are not met.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) drew parallels to unrestricted U.S. immigration and said, “Is anybody paying attention?!…You’ve got a massive Muslim takeover of the United Kingdom going on right before our eyes.” Charlie Kirk noted, “A new think tank report finds that record levels of immigration to the U.K. are doing nothing to boost economic growth. Instead, new arrivals are just driving up housing costs and putting added stress on the country’s social services.”

4. WILL DEEP STATE UNLEASH NATIONAL EMERGENCY TO STEAL ELECTION? The latest Rasmussen poll finds Donald Trump up 10 points against Joe Biden, with 46%, compared to Biden’s 36% and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 9%. Against this backdrop, retired intelligence officer Jeffrey Prather warns that the Deep State could collapse the grid or foment a civil war, as described in the recent Hollywood film, “Civil War.”

Prather stated, “They want to con us with the cover of civil war – and civil war is the worst kind of war. But we’ve already had a civil war. It’s not really the case at all. It’s us against them…It is the Deep State against the people; it is the resetters against the resistance. Most concisely, it is the parents against the pedos. But they’d like to bill it as a civil war, and they’re trying hard to do that. So I think that this is very likely…they want to cover it with civil war because they are so corrupted.”

Prather stressed the importance of community in preparation, urging, “You’ve got to be prepared to survive this. While we should try and stop it, we can’t stop it. It’s like a flood, but you can prepare for the flood.”

Meanwhile, FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf told the U.S. Senate that the agency is “busy getting prepared” for the avian influenza to potentially jump to humans.

5. 163 DEMOCRATS VOTE TO SAVE SPEAKER JOHNSON: Reps. Marjorie Taylor-Green (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) finally activated their motion to vacate Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). However, 163 Democrats joined 194 Republicans to table the motion before it could even reach a full vote, with only 11 Republicans voting against tabling the motion.

Several days before the vote, Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY) boasted, “Even though we’re in the minority, we effectively have been governing as if we were in the majority because we continue to provide a majority of the votes necessary to get things done. Those are just the facts.” Even Donald Trump took time to defend Johnson’s speakership, saying, “he’s trying.”

Massie explained his vote with what he called Johnson’s “three betrayals”: passing a massive omnibus bill, reauthorizing FISA without warrants, and authorizing nearly $100 billion for foreign wars. Following the vote, Johnson announced that he would not attempt to defund special counsel Jack Smith’s lawfare against Donald Trump. Greene responded, “If the Democrats saving Mike Johnson’s Speakership didn’t convince you he’s in fact their Speaker of the House, this should!”

Ed. Note: Last month, The Federalist’s Shawn Fleetwood assessed, “The reason Republicans like Mike Johnson are able to regularly…[betray] their constituents is because they don’t fear backlash from their voters. They think most GOP electors won’t show up to vote in primaries and those who do will overwhelmingly support the incumbent – and the data shows they’re right.” Unfortunately, Trump has endorsed many RINO incumbents over more conservative challengers.

6. TRUMP CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS TRIAL INDEFINITELY DELAYED: Julie Kelly reports, “New disclosures in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s espionage case against Donald Trump reveal the FBI tampered with evidence to create the infamous photo [at Mar-a-Lago in August 2022] – and the DOJ has lied about it for nearly two years.” Following the revelations, Judge Aileen Cannon indefinitely postponed the trial.

In an article titled, “Jack Smith Has Admitted to Violating the Same Law Used Against J6 Defendants,” The American Thinker reported, “Smith has admitted to doing what the J6 defendants are accused and have been convicted of doing: Violating 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2). The statutory charges against the J6 defendants are a specious abuse of the law, but they perfectly fit Smith’s admitted conduct.”

Donald Trump recently said of the Biden regime, “These people are running a Gestapo administration. And it’s the only thing they have. And it’s the only way they’re going to win, in their opinion.”

7. DO PFIZER COVID VACCINES CAUSE CANCER? In a recent interview, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla explained the company’s stock is bouncing back due to its anticipated sale of cancer drugs. Bourla said, “Oncology, it is our new COVID…” InfoWars responded, “It has been reported that the Covid vaccination, which Pfizer is chief among its manufacturers, causes cancer…it has been documented that transgender drugs cause cancer as well.” A Pfizer whistleblower just leaked a January 8, 2021, internal email showing that company employees were given vaccines from a “separate” batch than those given to the rest of the world.

Attorney Robert Barnes discussed the ongoing lawsuit against Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, detailing, “We have sued because Pfizer lied to the DOD, the FDA, the American people, lied to their stockholders, lied to the people that took the drug, and said it was a safe and effective vaccine for prevention of COVID-19. What they delivered is something that is dangerous, ineffective, doesn’t serve as a vaccine, and doesn’t, in fact, prevent COVID-19.” Bloomberg reports, “Pfizer Inc. has agreed to settle more than 10,000 cases accusing it of hiding the cancer risks of its Zantac heartburn drug…”

Dr. Peter McCullough believes mRNA vaccines are causing “turbo cancers”. According to the American Cancer Society, “In the coming year, we’re expecting to hit a bleak milestone – the first time new cases of cancer in the US are expected to cross the 2-million mark. That’s almost 5,500 cancer diagnoses a day.”

8. VACCINE INJURIES ON THE RISE: After years of calling vaccine injuries “misinformation” and a “conspiracy theory,” The New York Times finally released this headline: “Thousands Believe Covid Vaccines Harmed Them. Is Anyone Listening?” The Defender reported, “Injuries and deaths following vaccination have become so widespread that mainstream media can no longer ignore them.”

In a recent interview, Professor Arne Burkhardt commented on the surge of abnormal blood clots seen in COVID-19-vaccinated individuals. Burkhardt said, “I personally have been in the United States, and I was a guest for almost one year with an undertaker (mortician), and there, I got my first experience with dead people. I know that from that time, nobody ever observed these casts in the vessels.”

9. BOYS SCOUTS REBRANDS AS “SCOUTING AMERICA”: 114 years after its founding, the Boy Scouts of America has renamed itself “Scouting America.” President and CEO Robert A. Krone said the move was about “ensuring all American youth feel welcomed and recognized in an organization that is meant to serve all Americans.” The rebrand follows abuse scandals and bankruptcy and comes eleven years after the group allowed homosexuals to join, nine years after allowing homosexuals to become scout leaders, seven years after allowing transgenders to join, and five years after allowing female scouts to join. The organization has dropped to just over one million members, down from over two million in 2018, and nearly 5 million in 1972.

Cultural analyst Geoffrey Botkin noted, “This is an apparent effort to run from bankruptcy, falling membership, masculinity, and restrictive morality…The organization was founded to be a preserve of training in manhood, virtue, and male responsibility. That emphasis began to dissipate in the 1960s along with the demoralization of boys in the government school classroom.”

The old Scout Law required, “A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.” The original oath stated, “On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”

10. U.S. IN TOP 8 MOST PRO-ABORTION COUNTRIES: Despite the overturn of Roe v. Wade, the U.S. ranks in the top eight most pro-abortion countries. A new report from the Charlotte Lozier Institute found, “Of 193 [United Nations] countries, the United States is one of eight countries that allows, at the federal level, abortion on demand without any gestational limits along with Australia, Canada, China, Guinea-Bissau, Mexico, South Korea, and Vietnam…With no federal gestational limit on abortion and abortion on demand past 15 weeks in 29 states, U.S. abortion law is far more permissive than that of most countries in the world.”

Mary Szoch of the Family Research Council urged, “Who lives and who can be legally killed by an abortionist should not depend on which state a person was born in. The United States should champion the right to life for ALL people regardless of age, health, socioeconomic status, race, or any other qualifier.”

11. CHINA’S EXPANDING MILITARY: The Epoch Times reports, “China’s communist regime spent $710.6 billion on its military in 2022, more than three times Beijing’s publicly stated totals…” Former Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Chad Wolf reports, “The CCP has invested substantial resources in expanding its space program and has rapidly gained comparative and even competitive advantage over the U.S…The CCP is not alone in its ambitions. North Korea launched a spy satellite in 2023 and recently reaffirmed its plans to launch multiple reconnaissance satellites into orbit this year…The U.S. economy is highly dependent on U.S. space assets, which must be protected…”

12. THE CONSEQUENCES OF GREEN IDEOLOGY: Former CIA operations officer Dean Wright asserts that Electric Vehicles (EVs) are actually quite “dirty” due to the process required to extract thousands of pounds of cobalt, lithium, and nickel worldwide. Wright also calls EVs a “national security” concern, as the car is “basically a computer on wheels.” The Heritage Foundation’s Erin Walsh warns that China largely controls the production of solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and electric vehicles.

Energy expert Steve Goreham reports, “Many states in the U.S. are headed for a serious and prolonged shortage of electrical power not seen in decades, driven by rising demand from the artificial intelligence revolution and mandates to adopt green energy.” Within the next ten years, data centers fueled by the AI revolution are expected to demand 20% of U.S. electricity consumption, up from 4% currently.

13. EDUCATION NEWS: Only 28% of eighth graders in New York public schools scored proficient or better in mathematics, and only 32% in reading, despite $29,284 spent per pupil in fiscal year 2022. Breitbart reports, “The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is demanding a $50 billion contract with provisions including free abortion services, cash to migrants, LGBTQ concessions, and a big hike in pay, all despite falling student enrollment and worsening student proficiency rates.”

Red State reports that Colorado has passed a new law “that compels speech on the part of schoolteachers by requiring them to use whatever pronouns a student chooses, regardless of any ethical or religious objections the teacher may have.”

14. NOTEWORTHY STORIES:

And throwing fuel on the fire are Chinese speculators betting that there is still room for appreciation.”

FAITH, FAMILY, & FREEDOM REPORT

1. GEORGIA ENACTS ELECTION INTEGRITY LAW: Charlie Kirk reported on a new Georgia law, writing on X/Twitter, “Gov. Brian Kemp has just signed SB 189 into law, a new voting integrity measure that will help clean voter rolls in the state. The law defines probable causes for removing voters from the rolls when their eligibility is challenged…The Georgia bill allows voters to be removed from the rolls up until 45 days before the election.” In other good news, the Georgia Election Board voted 2-1 to reprimand Fulton County’s handling of the 2020 election and moved to appoint an independent monitor for the November elections.

2. CONSERVATIVES LAUNCH COALITION TO STOP ILLEGALS FROM VOTING: A broad alliance of conservative groups launched the Only Citizens Vote Coalition to stop illegals from voting in local, state, and federal elections. Attorney Cleta Mitchell urged, “We have to band together to ensure that ONLY CITIZENS VOTE.”

3. TRUMP CAMPAIGN FILES ELECTION INTEGRITY LAWSUIT: The Trump campaign, along with the Republican National Committee, filed a lawsuit to prevent mail-in ballots from being counted after election night. Per the lawsuit, “Counting mail ballots received after Election Day doesn’t just dilute the valid ballots – it specifically and disproportionately harms Republican candidates and voters. These harms are irreparable.” The lawsuit targets Nevada’s law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted up to four days after the election.

4. BILL INTRODUCED TO BAN ILLEGAL VOTING: GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) introduced the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, a bill that would make it illegal for non-citizens to vote. Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX), who co-sponsored the bill, stated, “We’re here for the simple proposition supported by the vast majority of the American people that only citizens of the United States should vote…”

5. CATHOLIC VOTERS ARE MOVING RIGHT: More Catholic voters are supporting Trump, and a new poll finds that Biden holds only a two-point lead among Hispanic Catholics. WND reported, “If the election were held today, 55% of Catholic voters say they would vote for former President Donald Trump, or lean toward voting for him, with just 43% saying they would throw their support behind Biden, a 12-point gap, according to Pew.”

6. TENNESSEE CALLS FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM UN: The Tennessee Legislature passed a bill calling for the withdrawal of the United States from the United Nations and also passed a bill to continue keeping the UN out of the state’s affairs. The New American reported, “S.B. 2743…requires every local government to annually submit a ‘written attestation to the comptroller of the treasury certifying that [it] has not sought or received a grant in intentional pursuit of’ any of the banned UN programs…[and] allows private citizens to bring a private cause of action against local governments accused of violating the law.”

7. FLORIDA BANS DEI IN TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS: Florida Governor Ron Desantis signed a bill to ban DEI in teacher training programs. According to Desantis, “This bill prohibits the indoctrination in teacher preparation. There’s not gonna be DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), there’s not gonna be any of the bogus history, it’s just gonna be standard teacher preparation without having an ideological agenda.”

8. ALABAMA ENDS CAPITAL GAINS TAX FOR PRECIOUS METALS: The Alabama Legislature passed a bill ending the capital gains tax for gold, silver, and other precious metals. State Representative Rick Rehm (R) stated, “Every time they print money, our dollar becomes worthless. And the only hedge you have today is gold and silver, and it’s ridiculous that we would even contemplate taxing the exchange of money.”

9. SHERRY TENPENNY HAS MEDICAL LICENSE RESTORED: Doctor Sherry Tenpenny had her medical license reinstated after it was stripped from her in August 2023. The license had been taken away after Tenpenny refused to cooperate with an investigation by the Ohio State Medical Board over her views on COVID. Tenpenny responded, “Thank you all for your unwavering love and support, but most importantly for your prayers during these challenging times.”

10. MODERNA LOSES BIG: Pharmaceutical company Moderna recorded a major loss in the first quarter of 2024, losing $1.2 billion as its COVID-19 vaccine sales plummeted. The Epoch Times reported, “The company also issued a $4 billion sales forecast for 2024, the lowest figure for annual revenue since U.S. health authorities granted emergency authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine in late 2020.”

11. COLOMBIANS MARCH FOR LIFE: Thousands marched for life in many Colombian cities, protesting the slaughter of unborn children. Abortion is allowed for up to 24 weeks in the country. Jesús Magaña, president of United for Life, stated, “We are unwilling to remain silent and stand by in the face of the largest massacre in the country.”

12. ENGLAND’S NHS DEFINES GENDER AS MALE AND FEMALE: In a new revision to its constitution, the National Health Service defined gender as male and female. The Constitution states, “We are defining sex as biological sex…If these biological differences are not considered or respected, there is the potential for unintended adverse health consequences.” The Washington Stand also reported the NHS banned such terms as “chestfeeding” and “birthing people.”

13. IRISH MARCH AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: Thousands of citizens protested the wave of illegal immigration plaguing their country. Hermann Kelly, leader of the Irish Freedom Party, declared, “I think [the Sinn Féin party] have been exposed as an open borders mass immigration party. And now that leaves room for a nationalist party like the Irish Freedom Party, which believes in democratic self-determination for the Irish people.”

14. MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN CONFERENCE HELD IN ROMANIA: The Make Europe Great Again conference was held in Romania, bringing together conservatives from all over Europe. Mark Ivanyo of Republicans for National Renewal stated, “It’s the global left…They have been networking for many years, well before conservatives were getting together. The one thing they don’t have is the support of the people. When the stakes are so high and you’re fighting against this globalist tyranny, you have to work together.”

15. GUN JAMS IN ATTEMPTED CHURCH SHOOTING: A gunman attempted to shoot Pastor Glen Germany, but his gun providentially jammed. Pastor Germany recounted, “I’m thankful to God that I’m still here because he definitely pulled the trigger…All of a sudden, I just saw a gun pointing right at me. And at that point, all I could try to do was run for cover.” The gunman was tackled by a church deacon immediately after.

HYMN OF THE WEEK

I Rest On His Unbroken Promise by Charles W. Naylor

The promise true, which God hath spoken,
Can never pass away,
But always will abide unbroken,
Just as it is today!

I can, I will, I do believe!
Within my heart I now receive
The promise that was made for me:
Through faith I have the victory!

I come to Thee, O Lord, obeying
What Thou commandest me!
Oh, hear the prayer my heart is praying,
And let it answered be.

I will not question any longer,
But count the vict’ry won!
My faith this moment, growing stronger,
Proclaims the work is done!

’Tis done, and on Thy Word I’m resting,
Content Thy will to do.
No longer doubting Thee nor testing—
I know that Thou art true!

I can, I will, I do believe!
Within my heart I now receive
The promise that was made for me:
Through faith I have the victory!
