PayPal on Oct. 8 sent out an update to its terms of use, or acceptable use policy (AUP), that included a shocking addition. It reserved the right to confiscate $2,500 from people’s accounts if they spread “misinformation.” It was a clear announcement of what many already suspected: PayPal has enlisted in the information war.

There is a straight line that runs from eugenics through infanticide to transhumanism. All three are the devil’s work in the material world. Let us explore the issue….

On one side, there are those who believe in a higher power and that mankind was made in the image of God…. On the other side are those who deny the existence of God and believe that mankind is the supreme intelligence in control of human destiny, is malleable and can be shaped through science, and can evolve to a superior form of man through the planning and experimentation….
