by AR Press Staff July 17th 2023 The Federal Bureau of Investigation was created almost 115 years ago, to the date, July 26th 1908 under the leadership of President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. The FBI was originally not so much as a policing unit as it was an investigative unit under the Department of Justice, working with more local policing bodies to enforce the law. Of course the CIA was only established immediately following World War 2 and the NSA in the mid to late 50's, so the FBI, among all the three-letter agencies, boasts seniority. Over the past eight or so decades, with government spending exploding into what it is today, the FBI (and it's CIA/NSA younger cousins) has been able to expand certainly beyond what Roosevelt could have possibly imagined. Approximately 35,000 people are currently employed by the FBI (the NSA publicly acknowledges a 32,000 strong workforce and CIA does not publicly acknowledge it's workforce numbers), I doubt anyone involved with its creation could have guessed what would become it's budget and capabilities!? The FBI has been caught in a series of scandals recently that are all boiling to the surface and are being made public now by the House of Representatives; like the FBI's direct involvement with the allegation that President Trump had an on-going relationship "colluding" with Russia for the White House. The now infamous 500-page "Muller-report" gave clear insight into the FBI's role in the scandal but stopped short of referring criminal charges or really any disciplinary action, for that matter. Congress has now taken up the charge to expose the once impenetrable moral-force that was the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We are also trying to understand the FBI's relocation of their DC headquarters. They are looking at buying a piece of property three times the size of the Pentagon. What exactly are the plans of the FBI when you consider the IRS just requested hiring 87,000 new agents and loads of guns and ammo.!? This is not conspiracy theory but a matter of public record. It doesn't seem like the FBI has immediate plans to staff their potential property to the extent of the Pentagon but... then again, why purchase a property with the potential to scale to such an extent!? Here's a good and accurate article on the subject: https://blog.independent.org/2023/02/03/new-fbi-headquarters-complex-debate/ I have watched nearly all of these short videos. Our GOP Congressional Rep's are demanding answers of Christopher Wray, the FBI's current Director, publicly, for the American People. Hopefully the federal government is soon awakened to who they are supposed to be protecting. (Hint: it isn't a ruling billionaire-class and political elite.)

By Robert Anthony July 17 2023 My wife and I first caught the vision to help the forgotten, discarded children who are sold and abused in sex slavery world-wide, while practically living at an orphanage in Indonesia. But the problem is so large that it was difficult for us knowing where to start. Our travels continued until we arrived in Seattle, Washington early 2015. I ended up very involved with troubled kids, even taking up more of my time than the ministry was. I was the Chaplain of a gang-prevention and at-risk youth organization in South Seattle (one of, if not the worst part of Seattle for poverty, crime and gangs). Then I ended up on a military base, running a youth program for the Army and Air Force. I worked with the homeless and homeless kids as a minister and volunteer and more. My wife and I stumbled into a Native American tribe's Children's Protective Services Department and the next thing you know we were in talks about starting a home for their hurting and abandoned kids. I had a series of meetings with the state of Washington lasting some six months about starting a home, working with the tribes, creating a family for their orphans and other abandoned children. Those meetings were very revealing as to exactly what is the problem facing these often forgotten and cast-aside groups throughout our nation. After six months of meetings it all came to a head one day when they "Suddenly' realized I was faith-based and they explained to me, "Legally our budget can not fund faith-based programs". They went on to assure me that I would be ear-marked to receive as much as 5 million from their budgets but I would have to drop the "Faith-Based" part of my program. I can still see the look on the ladies face as she so candidly explained to me that their budget in large part comes from Microsoft and Bill Gates and that written into the grant was "No Faith Based" programs. Every agency dealing with children's affairs nationwide is broken. Politics complicates their departments to the point to where the actual needs of the children are at best diminished. I was personally in a class, the first of many for becoming a foster parent, when this very odd man (who made me feel incredibly uncomfortable, even just sitting next to him) says, "You know, this isn't a bad gig at all. The state basically pays you for housing these kids." He went on to explain that he only comes home to sleep and keep the house stocked with food. He further explained that the kids basically take care of themselves and if they become and trouble you just call their social worker and they will "Handle it". My stomach sank listening to this man gleefully admit to me out-loud how little concern he actually has for these hurting and abandoned children (some of them in his home were as young as 5). Politics should have never got involved with children's affairs. Period. But our government has been snatching control over every part of our lives for a good couple generations now, so it's basically par for the course. To give the government a little credit.... I have heard several stories, three that I can think of off the top of my head, about children's homes throughout American history that ended up "molesting and rape houses" for upper class and elites, to come and have their way with forgotten kids throughout the 60's and 70's. The State of Washington ended up paying more than 50 Million in damages to settle a lawsuit coming from one of these such "homes". Many in foster-care will quote these statistics and recite this history whenever someone becomes critical of foster-care. A mentor of mine candidly explained to me the complicated nature of children's affairs in these United States over the past 100 years or so. They ended orphanages with the hope to establish, "A Home for Every Child". This remains the foster-care industries manta to this day. And at first glance it sounds great! Who wouldn't agree with that!? Of course we want a home for every child. But then there is reality. In reality the foster care industry at large simply has not worked. Billions, maybe even trillions over the years have been pumped into Children's Administration efforts and yet let us revisit the numbers: more than half of everyone sitting in our jails have had some involvement with foster care throughout their childhood (I have heard these numbers as high as 70%), the kids who end up trafficked are largely affiliated with the foster-care industry, Aston Kushner reports from his nonprofit that this number could be as high as 70%!? In this speech he quotes the alarming and horrifying failure of foster care as an industry in numbers: Many throughout my circle of influence are rushing out to see the movie, "Sound of Freedom" - an intense film about Tim Ballard and his organization who has literally been stealing children back from the sex-slave industry (some of these children are as young as 5!). If you ever listen to Mr Ballard speak on these issues, he will often, in fact almost always, bring up foster care! In fact, I am friends with at least 5 people who run nonprofits trying to end sex/human trafficking. Every single one of them is intimately aware of how many of these kids are coming from foster care. Here is a video of Tim Ballard talking about his work with kids and how they came to make the movie: These issues surrounding our children have been very real to me since first being mentored by a very famous man, Steve LePore, in Los Angeles when I was 21 years old. Steve is the founder of the largest homeless children's nonprofit in the nation. Reread what I just wrote for emphasis, "The largest homeless CHILDRENS nonprofit". How does the wealthiest nation ever on earth have a homeless children's crisis, in LA, arguably it's largest city!? Steve LePore taught me many things over the years, the greatest lesson of all is that our apathy and lovelessness causes more problems in our society than money could ever solve! Then, mix politics in with these problems and we have the recipe for disaster, and worse. I am publicly putting myself out here right now in this article to say, "My wife and I would be happy to help your state with it's Children's Administration and other departments dealing with children's affairs. I am committing to you all now openly that I am willing and able to help you to reorganize and restructure your children's administration efforts with the following conditions: That the work we do directly engages the Christian-faith communities throughout your state. We will never allow these fatherless and often parent-less children to undergo these radical medical treatments that attempt to change ones gender. Ever. Without discussion. We will not force the Christian faith on any child but will give them a home and a family environment built upon these Godly ideals: faith, hope, love. The children will know without a doubt that they are safe with us and that they are loved. They can find their own faith as God-given free-will dictates. We will not allow any government to force medical protocols on these kids. We will not allow any child to be put on any psychotropic medications and we will refuse every vaccine the government tries to mandate. Orphan Children must not be experimented on. (I can write a book about the problems these psych-meds are causing. How many children and young people who have shot up their schools were on psych-meds? How many children who shot up their schools were at one point in time involved with foster care industry?? Many.) I will gladly send a resume to anyone interested in talking with me about this. I have ran faith-based programs in Juvenile Hall, helped run an at-risk youth after school program, I have had two military contracts to run their Youth Programs, I have been a speaker at camps, youth groups, schools, prisons, etc. I have personally lived at orphanages and volunteered at several homeless youth organizations over the past 20-something years of my life. These children will amaze us all, if we just give them a chance, if we get the politics away from them and simply care about them. "A Home for Every Child" has failed, and miserably. It sounded good and I'm sure well-intentioned people created the movement but this is truly an ALL HANDS ON DECK Moment for our nation. The gangs are recruiting younger than ever. Most of these gang-land shootings are happening now between then ages of 10-18! These are children, killing each other. Juvenile Hall is full of children that aren't bad, but society doesnt know what to do with them... We must practically start from scratch and with honest eyes revisit the conversation. We must stop preventing the faith community to get involved. The states with the worst at-risk youth issues are also the states that war against the faith-communities involvement with at-risk and orphaned youth. In closing, this must be a local issue. A State Government is ill-equipped to navigate the very personal issues facing a child who has either lost their parent(s) or has been removed from their parent(s). We must engage with the local communities and empower them, together with their communities of faith to love these children. Social Workers driving from one end of a state to another, working 10, 12 and 15 hour days, sleeping at hotels with foster kids, etc. This is simply not sustainable. Parents must be criminally prosecuted for abusing their kids. But this is a very difficult ting to implement. Forcing a father to love his children is very difficult to perform, as a matter of law. Society used to understand that things things were the churches role in a community, some of this needs to be restored. (I say, "some of this", because their are also many things the church has done wrong. Take the Catholic Church for instance. How many of their priests have been brought up on charges for sexually abusing children!? How many more have never been prosecuted!?). We are praying for a spiritual revival but a spiritual revival to what? or who? I continue to see the hope for our nation is wrapped up in a genuine Revival back to our Christian roots. The fleeting morality and sanity that remains in our nation, all came from it's Christian heritage. Even non-Christian's can agree, what is bad about loving each other, hoping that things will improve, having faith that these powers actually do make change! What message that Christianity, the Christianity presented in the Bible, gives to the world is so terrible!? "Love your neighbor"?? Stop forcing the children to disbelieve in God. Stop forcing your atheism and godlessness down their throats!? Maybe you will be surprised by how quickly things start to change.

Originally Published at Gateway Pundit By Jim Hoft July 14th 2023 Michigan leftist Judge Phyllis McMillen ruled that Michigan law prohibits a person from possessing a voting tabulator without a court order or authorization from the Secretary of State’s office. Judge McMillen is a Gretchen Whitmer donor. Judge McMillen opened the door for a county reporter to charge the Trump supporters for examining a tabulator following the stolen election. The voting machines are now so sacred and delicate that no normal human without years of extensive work experience is allowed to touch them. But don’t worry – you can trust their results. Lou Dobbs reported: The decision that lays the groundwork for a county prosecutor to potentially bring criminal charges against supporters of former President Donald Trump. Oakland County Circuit Judge Phyllis McMillen on Wednesday ruled that the “undue possession” of a tabulator is always a felony in Michigan, not just during an ongoing election or the timeframe before the results are tallied, The Detroit News reported. Muskegon County Prosecutor D.J. Hilson had sought the decision as he considers whether to criminally charge a group of Trump supporters who allegedly obtained voting machines following the 2020 election. Hilson’s possible charges come after Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said in August that nine people allegedly conspired to improperly gain access to election machines. The group convinced officials in three counties to give them five tabulators, which they then took to Oakland County hotels or rental properties, Nessel’s office said.

by Guest Contributor, Dr Joseph J Bucci July 13th 2023 I see him there, in the dark through the camera lens. Over time, we have placed cameras at strategic locations in order to keep an eye on him – not to invade his privacy, but to keep him safe. Sometimes he sleeps through the night; but many times he is up, sitting alone in his chair in the dark room. We used to run in and check on him, and listen to his outlandish stories – like the one about building a bridge across the Atlantic Ocean; or how his bed frame had water running through it. Now we see him through the camera lens, check that he is OK, and then roll back over to try and sleep. The morning comes soon enough. He may be back in his right mind, or we may have to re-direct him after he awakens with another hallucination. When I said “I do” to this lovely young woman of nineteen so many years ago, I did not realize that it would also mean caring for her father as he went through Dementia. His once strong and confident step has now become unsteady, tentative and labored. He sleeps much of the day, and we try to keep him alert so as to avoid him sitting up nights and filling us in with fanciful tales of capturing robbers and protecting the house from attack – if he can even recall that the house he is protecting is actually his. The term “Dementia” is a general term which refers to the loss of cognitive functions (VA Office of Aging Services, 2023). It is not a specific disease but an overall term representing different types of symptoms. It is not something that happens to every older person. Dementia is caused by damage that occurs to the brain from other disease or trauma (VA Office of Aging Services, 2023). Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of Dementia (VA Office of Aging Services, 2023). The federal government and many states provide tools for the families of individuals who are working through this process. The National Institute on Aging provides health tips and brochures with lots of information on the disease and its prognosis (National Institute on Aging, 2023). It is important to review the available resources, and to discuss next steps with other caregivers and those who provide these services, in order to get a grasp of all that is happening or has the potential to happen (National Institute on Aging, 2023). If you are experiencing these symptoms with a loved one, you should know, first of all, that you are not alone in this. There are agencies and groups that want to help. Secondly, each family deals with this diagnosis and its treatments differently. But it is important for you and your family to be in agreement on what you will do and how you will manage this disease. A survey commissioned by Humana Inc., a medical insurance provider, asked 1,000 US baby boomers ranging in age from 45 to 64 about the impact of caring for elderly parents and other family members (Editorial Team, 2010). Boomers surveyed suggested that their own health and well-being came second to caring for the health needs of their loved ones. 63% of those surveyed devoted less time to personal interests; and almost half of those surveyed have chosen to give up social activities and vacations in order to care for their loved ones (Editorial Team, 2010). But do other members of the family agree with giving up vacations and personal interests in order to care for Grandpa? My parents passed away early. My father left us as children, and we never heard from him until after he passed. My mother had heart disease and a series of strokes took her many years ago. My wife's parents lived longer, with her mom finally succumbing to her own heart disease prior to COVID. Then during COVID we decided to move in with Pops, since the love of his life had left him alone after 58 years; and commuting was not working. (BTW, loneliness is the number one reason for attempted suicides among seniors, according to the National Council on Aging, 2021). In the beginning it was easy. Pops would just sit in his special chair and flip through the channels on the TV all day long. The biggest challenge was when he clicked on something that we couldn't change; and we tried not to order some special service on which he had landed. But recently there has been a rapid decline. At first I was not on board. “This is your father,” I would say. I did not realize how hurtful this was, but one day I got the message. I felt as though the Lord revealed to me that I would need to be willing to clean up my father-in-law’s urine and see him naked and struggling. I finally accepted that this was God preparing me for what was to come. I have often thought back to God’s kindness in revealing this truth to me, on those days when incontinence ruins a good pair of new shorts, or another hallucination creates panic. It is not his fault. It is not my fault either. It is the disease, it is not him. It is also my opportunity to serve my wife by serving him. I have struggled a little bit with my role. As a baby boomer, I really like to work, and I do not often like to take Pops on short day trips. Nevertheless, this is a learning time for both of us. Once we think we've mastered the challenge and set processes in place to manage our lives and the care of Pops, suddenly things change. He begins another decline. We tell ourselves that at some point this will lead to some assisted living or maybe more determinative care. But we don't know when, and he still generally knows who we are, although I sometimes have to remind him that I am his favorite son-in-law. I remind myself that someday this could happen to me, or to my lovely wife. No one wants to be a burden to the family. This and the loneliness issue are some of the reasons for the sky-high suicide rate among seniors (National Council on Aging, 2021). 20% of all suicides in 2020 were attributed to people aged 65 years and up (National Council on Aging, 2021). We pray for anyone going through the situation. It is hard to manage, but harder to watch the person whom you've grown to respect and know as a very independent thinker suddenly wet their pants every night and not know how to stop. We are grateful for every day that the Lord gives to us; and grateful for the opportunity to learn service at the feet of the 90-year-old man who is not sure who I am. But I know who he is, and I know that the Lord has chosen me on whom to pour out this special blessing. (Joseph J.

by Dr Joseph Bucci, Guest Contributor July 7th 2023 When I look at other people, what do I see? With what framework or lenses do I view others? I ask this of myself, because it is too easy to generalize about how others view situations. Our cultural discourse is volatile and sometimes hostile in how it views the actions of people who are seen violating social norms. We don't often take the time to understand how or why someone is acting the way they do. We certainly do not often take the time to see how things might turn out for the good. Let us take a professional athlete for example: are they expected to be a great person and role model simply because they can throw a football or hit a baseball or shoot a basket? A professional sports league may want a player who is well known and respected to be “the face” as it were of the league (Simmons, 2023). But this creates even more pressure on an individual. What happens when that person acts foolishly? Then what do we see? Ja Morant is a gifted basketball player who by some standards could be perceived to be the face of the National Basketball Association (Ganglani, 2022) as its elderly stars near their later years (Cato, Weiss, and Vorkunov, 2023). According to the NY Post, the two-time NBA all-star was seen in social media brandishing a toy gun after two previous incidents where he filmed himself with actual handguns, once in March and another just a few days earlier in May (Staszewski, 2023). While in this latest incident the gun was a toy gun, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called the incident “alarming.” Silver said it was concerning for the possibility of other young people following the superstar’s example (Martin, 2023). For his actions, Mr. Morant received a 25-game suspension, and expressed his remorse in a statement released to the press (Martin, 2023) Do we expect that these individuals as young as they are, growing up in the spotlight, will do everything correctly? One veteran player who experienced growing up in the public eye as a basketball superstar shared his experience, and how difficult it was for him with the challenges of growing up in the spotlight (Lynn, 2023a). He was able to express his empathy for Ja Morant because he had experienced the same growing pains. But one former player had a different viewpoint. While he did see immaturity in Ja’s actions; and the hard work ahead of fixing his public image, this former player saw an opportunity for redemption (Lynn, 2023b). Former player and NBA analyst Jay Williams was quoted as saying, “He (Morant) has a chance to be one of the greatest redemption stories in basketball” (Lynn, 2023b). Jay Williams sees the opportunity, not the past; nor does he label the player because of his actions. Jay Williams wants Ja Morant to win, in character as well as in his career (Lynn, 2023b). So I asked myself this question, and perhaps you might join with me in this: When I look at the behavior of others, do I view their actions with contempt, or do I see opportunity for change? Does my heart move towards punishment, or do I consider their actions with a view towards redemption? Jesus said it’s all in how we view things. He said that the eye is the lamp of the body (Matthew 6:22). He meant that the eyes are the entrance to our hearts (Got Questions, 2023). “Good” eyes perceive well; they see the good and the righteous, the difference between the light and the darkness. Lord, help me to be fitted with the same eyes as Jay Williams, to be able to see those opportunities for redemption in everyone with whom I come in contact. (Joseph J.

By Tony Nastas, Reporting from Ukraine July 7th 2023 Have you asked yourself an interesting question: Is it Ok for Russians to eat children? Everybody in the world, including you and me will say – “No way! it’s not OK!” Then, explain to me, WHY EXACTLY is eating children not Ok for Russians? The answer is very simple - because everybody will condemn Russians if they do that: The West will condemn them. China will condemn them. African countries will condemn them. Even Iran and Northern Korea will condemn them! THIS IS EXACTLY WHY RUSSIANS DO NOT EAT CHILDREN! Because it’s NOT NORMAL for any country, nation or religion to eat children. Period. Then, ask yourself the same kind of question: IS IT OK FOR RUSSIANS TO KILL PEOPLE? If by any chance your answer is YES, then there is something wrong with you and your way of thinking…. If you say - it all depends… “It depends what kind of people you are willing to kill.” I would say, “REALLY? ARE YOU THINKING CLEARLY?” Who gave a right to anybody to kill other people? Even if you live in a savage tribe - NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO KILL PEOPLE! That is a dogma no one questions. No doubt, you and I live in civilized nations. We do not just go and kill other people. If that happens in a country where the death penalty is still lawful, it’s done after a thorough investigation, many trials, court hearings, jury, etc. and then the final sentence. All civilized countries have law and order for that. BUT WHO GAVE RUSSIANS THE RIGHT TO KILL PEOPLE? To make the question more clear: who gave Russians the right to kill Ukrainians? Has any law given them a right to do that? Has the United Nations allowed that? Has China allowed them? Has ANYBODY here on earth or above in heaven allowed them? NO! But why do they do it and keep doing it every day? (Just read the recent news about Ukraine). Because for some countries killing people is OK! China DOESN'T condemn it! Most African countries do not condemn them. North Korea and Iran do not condemn them. Even some countries in Europe, like Hungary, DO NOT CONDEMN them! Dear Sir or Ma’am! Why is it eating children is not Ok, but killing Ukrainians is!? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? Is it because killing Ukrainians doesn’t sound so awful as eating children? Why can a country, like Russia, come to another independent country, and start murdering people, young and old, rich and poor? A missile doesn’t differentiate them… Do the nukes Russians have give them a right to kill Ukrainians? If positive, then imagine the same Russians will come to your country and start doing exactly the same they do today. And be sure, them will come to your door if they are not defeated in Ukraine… Just because Russia threatens the whole world with using nukes, it doesn’t give them that right to keep killing people in Ukraine and nowhere else! But despite the fact that Russia has shown itself not as powerful as they claimed for decades, the world leaders are so weak hearted… We lack strong leaders like Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, etc. nowadays. You know that… otherwise Putin wouldn’t allow himself to act like a big scale bully. Like a hyena he smells the fear of modern leaders. So he keeps pushing the limits. See the list: ● War in Chechnya 1 ● War in Chechnya 2 ● Transnistria war ● War in Georgia ● War in Syria ● Annexation of Crimea ● Annexation of Donbass ● Wagner is Africa ● Full scale war in Ukraine ● Blowing dam at Dnipro river ● Threatening to blow up the European biggest nuclear plant ● Threatening Poland and Baltic countries will the next on his agenda ● …and he will keep pushing further to the west. Until he is stopped forever. Until a REAL lion will smash him and show him the place where he belongs. Preferably in a Hague prison. Just think: IS IT OK for Russians to keep doing what they’ve been doing for so long? Who will stop them, and when?

As the story goes, after Moses led the Israelite's across the Red Sea they came to the wilderness in Arabia. Again, the scriptures are clear, Galatians 4:25, “This Sinai is in Arabia”. For more than a thousand years the Catholic church has been teaching that Mt Sinai is in the Sinai Peninsula, in opposition to what the Bible has said all along. Today if you visit Israel and go on the various tours the overwhelming majority of those tours will take their tourists into the Sinai Peninsula teaching that a mountain to the south is Sinai, here is a picture: Like mentioned in the article about the Actual Red Sea crossing site, the Catholic Church has been teaching an exodus route that does not fit the Biblical narrative at all and therefore they have dismissed these amazing discoveries altogether. Here is the map of the route the Catholic Church and thereby the overwhelming majority of academia agrees on as the route Moses and the Israelites took after they left Egypt: A humble anesthesiologist named Ron Wyatt simply followed the word of God step by step disagreeing with academia and the Catholic Church and REDISCOVERED these amazing treasures for us all to celebrate and enjoy! The Lord led him from one amazing rediscovery after another! Leading him first to Turkey to find the actual Noah’s ark, fossilized in the side of one of the mountains of Ararat, just as the Bible says, (Genesis 8:4), “And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.” For more than a century, archeologists have been looking on Mount Ararat, following poorly translated versions of the Bible or folklore. After Mr Wyatt found Noah’s Ark the Lord led him step by step to find many more amazing archeological finds: the actual Red Sea Crossing site with golden chariot wheels at the bottom of the Red Sea, exactly where the Bible says Moses and the Israelites crossed but then the Lord led Ron into Arabia to find the Actual Mount Sinai. This is the route that Ron proved that Moses and the Israelites took out of Egypt: Then Ron came upon a mountain and it’s entire top was burned with fire but no other mountain in the area had its top burned with fire!? There was nothing to lead Ron to beleive this mountain to be volcanic... Remember, God descended upon Mount Sinai with fire! “And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.” Exodus 19:18 – As if finding a mountain in the middle of Arabia whose top was literally burnt from a great fire, even finding rocks whose top had been melted from incredible heat (it takes more than a 3,000 degree fire to melt rocks), Ron discovered that the Arabs had long since referred to the mountain, “Jebel el Lawz” translated into English means, “The Mountain of Laws” and "The Mountain of Moses". After rediscovering Jebel el Lawz Ron found many of the things the Bible mentions Moses had built there at the foothill of the mountain. Here is a picture of the ancient foundations (Exodus 19:12) Moses had the Israelites built to keep the people from touching the mountain: Here is a hieroglyph of a golden calf Ron found on a large bolder at the foot of Mount Sinai: As the years passed and Ron would return to the site, eventually he realized the Saudi government fenced off Mount Sinai and put up a guard house to keep visitors off the mountain altogether (you can see the hieroglyph of the golden calf in the rock on the top): Here is a couple who visited the site in 2003 and found it closed down and a sign put up prohibiting entry: As Ron was finishing his work at Mount Sinai, God had one last treasure to show him. Ron was retracing Moses and Israel’s steps leaving Arabia, on their way to the Promised land and Ron came upon a massive rock formation in the middle of the wilderness and found a giant rock that was split with water erosion marks in the middle of it. Why is this amazing? “And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.” Numbers 20:11 What else would make water erosion marks on a massive rock almost 5-stories tall in the middle of a desert area directly along the path that Moses and the Israelites took on their way into the promised land? Here is a closer picture of the rock to see better the erosion marks: We are incredibly blessed by the Lord that He inspired Ron to become such an adventurer, travel to the holy land and into Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia and find all these amazing (re)discoveries! The Bible is true. The more we study it and live by it, the more we are convinced! We hope you share these articles and allow the people to see the truth for themselves. They aren't showing these amazing discoveries in schools, high schools, colleges, universities or even Bible Colleges! Share these articles - even many Christians don't realize all these Biblical events have left behind such evidence of God! Our God lives! The whole story is true! "All Politics is Local" Interview with Richard Rives of Wyatt Museum (Part One) - We discuss Sodom and Gomorrah, Noah's Ark, our schools, saving our kids, LGBTQ culture emerging, etc. It was a great interview!! Thought provoking to say the least... Here is a great video to watch about Ron Wyatt finding Mount Sinai!

By Robert Anthony June 26th 2023 You are looking at the actual ancient walls of the Biblical city of Gomorrah, the city that God destroyed by fire and brimstone (sulfur balls). The people would not stop their sinful and lustful deeds according to scripture - there was nothing of righteousness found in these cities and worse! They were totally content to destroy the foundations of the family that God had created and were (like in Noah's time) warring against the very creation itself, destroying everything. You can reread the story in Genesis 18:16-19:29 It says in the scripture that God destroyed the cities by both fire and brimstone. Brimstone we understand to be balls of sulfur that were probably about the size of softballs or small cantaloupe's as they rained out of the sky with the fire of God. Here are a few pics of the Sulfur Balls found littered throughout Gomorrah: Adventurers from around the world have been traveling to these ancient ruins in Israel and finding the sulfur balls for themselves for years since Ron Wyatt first made the discovery! I have personally held sulfur balls in my hands and we lit one on fire! Is was incredibly flammable, it burned an other-worldly purple and white flame!? It burned so hot it immediately melted thru the spoon we had it on. It burned thru the spoon and then into the asphalt, down into the ground until eventually it smothered itself many inches below the ground!! I will never forget seeing this. Here is a chart showing the size and scope of the find: Here are a couple newspaper articles about Ron Wyatt and his find: If you happen to be traveling to Israel the site is located at the foothills of Masada! Israel's antiquities authority was so uninterested in the find that they literally built a highway over the top of the ruins!? As you drive up to Masada you drive over the ruins of Gomorrah! They also found indications of the other "cities of the plain" as described in the Bible but Sodom was never found. Ron and others believed that the focus of the fire and brimstone must have been directed at Sodom, secondarily at Gomorrah and so Sodom was wiped away completely for the earth while Gomorrah remained for us all these generations proving again the authenticity of the word of God! Here is a map of Sodom and Gomorrah: To be clear, God never wanted to destroy these cities. I encourage you all to reread the story and watch how care God was to show Abraham that He was in no way unfair or a tyrant! God then sent the angels and the depravity of the city was so great that they refused Lot's virgin daughters for the men, the angels sent to Lot. Lot pleaded with the men of Sodom, "Do not do this!" But they literally busted into Lot's house, a crowd of them, busted thru the door and went to rape the angels! But angels are powerful, they blinded the mob and safely walked Lot and his family out of the house and to safety. Many people ask when hearing this story, "Does God hate Homosexuals"? Reading this story it would lead us to believe God hates this sin and He does. But God can hate a sin but love a person. The simple fact of the matter is that if the whole of creation ends up homosexual? What will become of mankind!? It's simple math really. God invented the family and the way to bless the earth with our generations. Homosexuality wars against the family and God's plan like little else on earth. Homosexuality quickly degrades into cross-dressing and then gender-changing procedures, warring against the creation entirely. There are certain sins that are far more destructive than others. Perhaps we, in our modern and somewhat "moral" world, can not imagine just the depravity of Sodom and Gomorrah but they were depraved enough to refuse virgin daughters so that they might rape angels from heaven!? What other sorts of corruption and evil were normal and everyday ways of life in Sodom and Gomorrah!? Whatever they were it was so evil that there was left no hope of redemption - and this perversion was obviously quickly spreading! We know it was because there were several other smaller towns destroyed along with Sodom and Gomorrah. Here is a phenomenal interview I just did on the subject. I go into depth even preaching about what the Bible has to say about this... God has to stop this before it spread and covered the earth! And believe me when I say this news traveled far and fast throughout the ancient world as a warning for future nations and empires not to allow this perversion to spread. God can love a person but hate the sin. And the sins surrounding the LBGTQ movement as a whole corrupt the very essence of the creation of God like little else. Then, after this cancer of a culture is allowed to spread enough, it becomes Transhumanism. Life itself which God has made is entirely redefined and then destroyed. This has happened before and according to the Bible it will happen again... In fact, it is happening right now... Here are the articles I have written about Transhumanism: PART ONE - The Rebirth of a Very Old Evil: Transhumanism PART TWO - The Rebirth of a Very Old Evil: Transhumanism PART THREE - Conclusion - The Rebirth of a Very Old Evil: Transhumanism Here are the other amazing Bible discoveries that have been found: Noah's Ark in Turkey - Exactly where the Bible says it landed! The Crossing of the Red Sea Site! The Actual Mount Sinai - It's Top Still Burnt with the Fire of God! "All Politics is Local" Interview with Richard Rives - We discuss Sodom and Gomorrah, Noah's Ark, our schools, saving our kids, LGBTQ culture emerging, etc. It was a great interview!!

by Guest Contributor, Samuel T. Lair May 30th 2023 A vast network of liberal dark money is using ballot initiatives to buy substantial electoral reforms that would otherwise be impossible. Over the past five years, Michigan has been completely transformed by a series of ruinous electoral reforms. This development, however, has nothing to do with some Trump-induced hangover or the popularity of its Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer. These reforms are part of a nationwide conspiracy concocted by a vast network of leftist dark money using “nonpartisan” proxy organizations and the ballot initiative loophole to circumvent the ordinary political process. In Michigan, the principal puppet behind these reforms has been a little-known “nonpartisan advocacy organization” with the anodyne name of Voters Not Politicians (VNP). VNP supposedly began when Katie Fahey, a 27-year-old recycling activist, made a Facebook post about ending gerrymandering that went viral after the 2016 election. Beyond this humble origin story, however, the details surrounding the organization are much shadier. Nancy Wang, the current executive director and a former law professor at the University of Michigan, is listed as a co-founder. Fahey has since departed the organization, and her story, once widely touted by the organization, is now nowhere to be found within their messaging. Meanwhile, its supposed nonpartisanship had been called into question as early as 2017, when seven of its 10 board members were revealed to have donated to Democratic politicians in the past. This association with state Democrats has since only become more intimate. The current chairman of the board once served as the chief of staff to the former minority leader of the statehouse. At the same time, its vice chair is the executive director of the notoriously unbiased Michigan chapter of the League of Conservation Voters. Even more revealing is VNP’s finances. During the 2018 election cycle, Voters Not Politicians notably received a large donation of $250,000 from Eric Holder’s National Democratic Redistricting Committee, odd for a supposedly “nonpartisan” organization. However, that donation accounted for only a fraction of the more than $16 million it received. As noted by Politico and former OpenSecrets reporter Jessica Piper, the vast majority of that funding came from out-of-state, liberal dark money groups, with two-thirds of it coming from only two organizations: Sixteen Thirty Fund and Action Now Initiative, which contributed $6 million and $5 million, respectively. Action Now is a Texas-based advocacy nonprofit created by liberal mega-donors John and Laura Arnold. Sixteen Thirty, the more nefarious of the two, is a “liberal dark money Behemoth,” which operates as one of the chief organizations housed within the Arabella Network. The Arabella Network is a conglomerate of affiliated advocacy non-profits with a combined war chest of over $1.6 billion. It is managed by Arabella Advisors, a D.C.-based philanthropic consulting company that advises big-money liberal donors. The company was founded by Eric Kessler, a former Clinton administration official and national field director for the League of Conservation Voters. He also served as the president and chair of Sixteen Thirty. Uncoincidentally, VNP’s efforts have only served to promote a leftist agenda. In 2018, VNP broke onto the scene when it orchestrated Michigan’s successful adoption of an independent redistricting commission through the ballot initiative process. The amendment, authored by current Executive Director Nancy Wang alongside other “national experts,” was billed as creating a politically balanced institution controlled by ordinary citizens. It exemplified neither of these traits. The commission’s fatal flaw is that the random citizens appointed to the commission lacked both extensive political and legal knowledge or proficiency in geographical information systems. This learning curve resulted in a cadre of legal, technical, and academic experts exercising an inordinate influence over the commission’s decisions. The fruits of this process were what one would expect. Previously, the Michigan legislature apportioned its districts to account for existing county and municipal boundaries, producing legislative districts tied to real communities. At the behest of their “experts,” commissioners did away with this precedent, sacrificing the integrity of rural communities to prop up the population figures of majority Democratic districts in the name of “partisan fairness.” Unsurprisingly, Michigan Democrats flipped the state legislature and captured a majority of congressional seats during the 2022 midterms. Following this performance, in 2022, VNP donated $1.7 million to Promote the Vote, which managed another successful ballot initiative cementing several electoral reforms into the Michigan Constitution. Promote the Vote also received $10 million from the aforementioned Sixteen Thirty Fund. The initiative constitutionalized early and absentee voting, mandated state-funded ballot drop boxes, and permitted the private takeover of election operations. The left’s interest in promoting absentee voting and drop boxes and their connection with ballot harvesting is by now well documented. More troubling is the initiative’s permanent establishment of private funding for election administration. As noted by Steve Miller, since 2020, left-wing groups have vastly expanded their efforts to use private donations to influence and run elections. These organizations, “staffed by progressive activists that include former Democratic Party advocates, organized labor adherents and community organizers,” have been handed over the functions managing our elections traditionally handled by local governments. In effect, these takeovers amount to government-sponsored get-out-the-vote drives for the Democratic base. Many of these organizations are again connected to the Arabella Network of nonprofits, which spent a combined $520 million in 2020 as part of its initiative to “defend democracy.” Another influential whale was Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, who donated over $400 million in 2020 to the left-wing Center for Tech and Civic Life. The significant boost these efforts gave to Democrats during the 2020 election was recently outlined by The Caesar Rodney Election Research Institute. The strategy of big liberal dark money in propping up VNP in Michigan is obvious: Destroy the viability of GOP candidates and re-secure the state’s position in the “blue wall.” To accomplish this goal, use the initiative loophole and millions of out-of-state dark money under the guise of a “nonpartisan grassroots coalition” to circumvent the existing legislative body and dupe voters into delivering their redistricting process into the hands of leftist academics. Then, use the same tactic to achieve additional electoral reforms, protected from repeal by the state Constitution, solidifying a structural advantage for Democrats in the state’s legislature and congressional delegation. From there, VNP has declared its “next logical step” in its “pro-democracy movement” to be deploying money and influence to strong-arm the state legislature into joining the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, securing Michigan’s 16 electoral votes for Democratic nominees and preventing the prospect of another 2016-like surprise. Once all this is carried out, VNP declares one of its ultimate goals to be campaign finance reform to end “the power and influence of special interest groups with hidden agendas.” In other words, once it’s ensured that Michigan will stay blue, make sure no opposing organization can reverse its efforts by replicating its strategy. While this particular fifth column is confined to Michigan, its model exists across the country. There is currently a vast network of liberal dark money that will continue to use ballot initiatives peddled by “local nonpartisan organizations” to pay their way into achieving substantial electoral reforms that would otherwise be impossible through the ordinary legislative process. At the moment, however, conservatives don’t seem cognizant of the fact that every election cycle they are fighting and losing major battles in the ballot box that have nothing to do with who holds what office. VNP’s success in Michigan is a stark warning of how the left is finding new ways to destroy whatever remains of our constitutional order. It is a strategy that can, is, and will be replicated nationwide. Welcome to the age of “nonpartisan” politics.

by Robert Anthony June 15th 2023 I really feel bad for the LGBTQ movement as a whole. They are being used and they don’t realize it yet. These politicians DO NOT care about you or your plight. The truth is they need you, a lot! The radical left and the Democrat party as a whole has… “LOST THEIR GRASSROOTS ACTIVIST BASE”. Outside of your community they have been consistently losing their activists and they are totally aware of this. With your community they have in fact funding from an outspoken, ready to mobilize political army, ready to do their bidding – whether on social media, hounding corporate America, infiltrating local politics, bullying of opponents at will – this radical Democrat regime knows what they have in you and they will appease you for as long as you serve their best-interests. But do not kid yourselves for even a moment – they will toss you aside the moment you stop serving their political and power-agenda… I was raised around your culture. I lived in LA most of my life, growing up I had two gay uncles, certainly dozens of my friends came out and some went back into the closet over the past 20-something years of my life… I have been a friend to your community only showing you grace, empathy and love, for the whole of my life. I have a very close friend who has been out-of-the-closet now some twenty years – we went to Bible College together – He would certainly tell you, I have never judged him or made a case against his life choices only to warn him, as his life spiraled downhill with illicit sex and drug use that his life is so precious and remember that there are people who genuinely love him and care about him. I have heard many tell their stories, I have heard of how difficult your lives have been. I have a very good friend who runs an organization counseling and caring about your culture for more than 20 years! It grieves me how terribly so many of you have suffered and continue to suffer. And I am writing to you today because I do not see this radical political agenda as a means to end your suffering but rather, I continually see that it’s adding to it! Are your lives more content, peaceful and abundant? Are these political fights bringing your community more joy and connection with your neighbors and the various cultures around you or are you becoming more marginalized, isolated and alone? I would argue it’s the latter. When all is said and done, sometime, perhaps at the end of your lifetime, you will look back and realize this era of political warfare, when your people were used and abused by a political party for their ambitions and power-grab, you will regret your enabling of this destructive and dark agenda and wish you had never got involved. I have only seen my friends lives (my LGBTQ friends) plummet downhill over the past few years and it seems to be worsening with time. Allow me a little grace to say the following, “There is a good God in heaven. We will all meet Him when we die. But He is not angry and vengeful, He is not full of wrath, hellfire and damnation. He is long-suffering, full of hope, redemption and He is seated on a throne of Mercy! We will all be held to an account for our actions but all of these things will be weighed in the balance. For instance, the leaders, teachers, judges, rulers, rich and powerful will all be held to a much higher standard than the poor, orphaned, simple, broken and forgotten among us.” “The man drowning his sorrows at the bar who does not try to dominate anyone or dictate to anyone how they ought to live, who truly does no harm to his fellow man, will be judged with much more mercy and compassion than the clergyman who molests children and hides his sins every Sunday while preaching ‘salvation’. The Bible speaks much about judgment and true judgment: God’s judgment of the heart. And, of course, the testimony of Christ Jesus, the Messiah, is the absolute answer for redemption and our escape from all judgment. I pray we all look into these things and carefully consider them. Again, we only have one life and then the judgment.” “I have long said that we will be surprised by two things: 1. Who makes it into heaven! We will be amazed at God’s mercy and compassion and for all of eternity we will celebrate just how Perfect His love truly is! And 2. We will be shocked by who didn’t make it into heaven! God will reveal the hearts and intentions of man come that day and not one cunning or clever man will be able to hide who he truly is from God. Maybe they tricked us!? Maybe they did a great job making us think they were righteous and to be admired? But all these things will be revealed before His throne and the truth will be known.” The truth about God is that He draws near to us in our suffering. Oftentimes we are trying to avoid feeling this pain so we turn to drugs, illicit sex, we bury ourselves in work or business, we busy our lives with political activism and every cause we can find to keep our minds off of the fact that we are hurting and that this world is broken! Finally, when we stop and rest, when we allow ourselves a moment of quiet and calm, all those buried feelings and hurts that we have been ignoring, they start to come up to the surface… and what then? Do we run back to all those medications, temporary escapes and complications to hide from the pain again!? God forbid. I didn’t mean to get into much of this – I only sat down to write you a letter to speak to the things neither “side” will say. I hope you hear me, “You are loved. You are not forgotten. There is a God in heaven who made you and knows you thru and thru. He wants to bring you peace and bless your life. Run from everyone who wants to load you up with bitterness, deception, rage, hatred and fear. Those things of darkness will not produce any kind of reward for our lives – but only a curse. Run from everyone who would use you for their advantage but offer nothing but bondage and devastation in return.” I pray you look again with sober and sincere eyes at the reality of the politicians/activists hijacking your culture. In the end they will only succeed in driving a wedge between you and the rest of society for generations to come. I pray you consider this message and reconsider the politics at war with you... Seek freedom. And in seeking freedom you will set others free with you. But there is no freedom in bitterness, a lifetime of anger and frustration, destroying oneself with drugs and alcohol, living in isolation and fear. True freedom is the freedom of the spirit and soul, at peace, content, even in our efforts to love the world around us, immovable and full of joy! And these things all come freely from the Father in heaven who labors to set His children free! I pray this message finds you well. With the utmost love and Godly-affection, - Robert Anthony After we published this, I ended up doing a pretty awesome interview on this topic. It may be hard for some LGBTQ and even the Christians to watch at times because I am giving a very different narrative than what is generally accepted. But try to watch until the end - there are a couple surprises right at the end -

South Carolina citizens sue to enforce the SC Freedom of Information Act and obtain the 2020 Cast Vote Records: By Guest Contributor, Laura Scharr Founder of SC Safe Elections June 29th 2023 Our elections belong to the citizens not the government (Full Stop). If we aren't able to get access to our own election data, how are we able to hold our government accountable? Government officials are servants of the citizens, not the other way around. SC Safe Elections has been analyzing information about our state’s election system and processes since the 2020 election. Our goal is to enhance confidence in our state elections. To date, we have evaluated the machines and their vulnerabilities, canvassed 8 counties, and observed the process in real time during our primaries and midterm elections. In furtherance of our goal to establish confidence in elections, we wanted to gain access, through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), to Cast Vote Records (CVRs). Cast Vote Records are the electronic record of a voter’s selections: information from a scanned ballot image is transferred to a spreadsheet that shows all of the vote selections of an election in the relative order of tabulation. It is not in the exact order of tabulation (counting) as the information is randomized in batches of say 100 or 200, depending on the electronic voting system manufacturer. Unfortunately, our Cast Vote Record FOIA requests were denied even though 27 other states and DC provide these records; some counties across the nation even allow them to be downloaded to anyone who visits their website. The “red” state of SC will not allow their citizens access to the CVRs so that they can validate an accurate vote count. This is particularly troubling as our SC state constitution in Article II Section 1 states, “All elections by the people shall be by secret ballot, but the ballots shall not be counted in secret.” If our ballots are being fed into a tabulator that counts the vote and we can’t verify the progression of the count, isn’t that counting unverifiable and unable to be audited? Furthermore, our ballots are counted using a bar code on the ballot so we can’t truly verify our vote visually from the ballot - we have no idea if the bar code accurately reflects our choices. Our State Election Commission (SEC) claims that there is Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on ballot images and that somehow the CVR report could be tied to a voter. However, there is no PII on the ballots; and in areas where there are only a few people with the same ballot style (the races listed on their ballot), these voters can be filtered out to ensure that no one can determine how someone voted. This is done in the other 27 states. Problem solved. Our expert witnesses can attest to these facts. In addition, our state FOIA laws don’t explicitly cite an exemption that would prohibit access to these records. In August of last year our grassroots group filed a claim against the State Election Commission (SEC) and 8 counties to gain access to the Cast Vote Records for 2020 and to preserve the 2020 election data (the most recent election at the time). The SEC and counties responded as follows: They counter-sued us. Yes, Regular citizens are being punished for asking for our own data. They want to prevent us from ever gaining any access to any data from 2020 specifically. As my 20-something year old son recently stated, “makes you wonder what they are trying to hide.” Indeed. Why is the SEC fighting this lawsuit so hard? They have dragged this out for so long. Now it looks like we will be going to trial almost a year after this fiasco began, costing our small group tens of thousands of dollars while the defendants spend taxpayer dollars - to fight the very citizens craving information about our own elections. (FOIA law Section 30-4-100 in South Carolina states that, “the court shall establish a scheduling order to conclude actions brought pursuant to this chapter within six months of initial filing”). Due to law-fare, the defendants have dragged this case out by delaying discovery and even denying the existence, knowledge, and location of CVRs as well as knowledge of the definition of PII (personally identifiable information). (In depositions they admitted they do have access to the data). To date, we have provided adequate discovery information to prove our case and have received little to nothing from their side. Because the facts favor us, they have resorted to character assassination. They are insinuating that we and our experts are aligned with other election deniers and we are "trouble-makers". To wit, in our depositions they asked some of us: if we attended January 6th, if we believe that Biden is the president and if we ever met Mike Lindell. Nothing could be further from the truth. We have always been professional with our canvassing and poll observation efforts and have operated independently as individual citizens just wanting the truth about our elections. They are insinuating that we may have broken election laws by reporting broken seals on tabulator machines (the election director claims we were being disruptive and loud which is untrue. She also claimed there was a seal on the machine which is also untrue. The tamper resistant seal was in fact missing) – the lack of a seal would put into question the results of the election and the machine should have been immediately evaluated as the chain of custody was in doubt and the machine could have been tampered with. The seals protect the flash drive compartment at the top of the tabulator. By the way, they reported some of us to SLED and to DHS—and to national news outlets. This is the tactic they use to discredit and harm regular citizens who find problems. But the false cries from election officials about ‘election deniers’ and ‘domestic terrorists’ are wearing thin, particularly when a recent Rasmussen poll indicates that 62% of likely voters believe cheating affected the 2020 election: A majority of voters suspect recent elections have been affected by cheating, and believe officials are ignoring the problem: The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 60% of Likely U.S. voters think it is likely that cheating affected the outcomes of some races in last year’s midterm elections, including 37% who say it’s Very Likely. Clearly, we are not the minority. Our goal is to assuage concerns that all citizens of South Carolina have regarding issues with elections, to enhance trust so that they know the vote is transparent, accurate, accountable and auditable. But how can we do that if we are denied the critical data which creates a chain of custody and trail for audit? This audit trail is mandated in both Federal and state law. HAVA 301 (6b) and SC SECTION 7-13-1655. "Voting system" defined; (A) As used in this section, "voting system" means: (1) the total combination of mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic equipment, including the software, firmware, and documentation required to program, control, and support the equipment that is used to: (a) define ballots; (b) cast and count votes; (c) report or display election results; and (d) maintain and produce audit trail information…. The audit trail is just that… a Cast Vote Record. Our SC Constitution states that all of the power is with the people. It gives us the right to challenge our government and even modify it if it is not acting in our best interest: SC Constitution SECTION 1. Political power in people. All political power is vested in and derived from the people only, therefore, they have the right at all times to modify their form of government. (1970 (56) 2684; 1971 (57) 315.) To be clear, we care about all elections and candidates and want free and fair elections for all. There are people on our team who have voted for Obama, Clinton and Bernie Sanders, others voted for Ron Paul and other Libertarian candidates, others voted Republican. We are a fully diversified crew. What we all have in common is the desire for elections that we can trust. We are having a hard time trusting our current system and it doesn't help when our election officials withhold the information we need to build that trust. We do, however, support and respect hardworking poll and election workers who are trying their best in a complex system. The bottom line is, what should it matter if we are black, white, liberal, conservative, or you like us or not? What should it matter who we have discussed CVRs with or how we will use them after we receive them? We are citizens of South Carolina asking for public records and we should be treated the same regardless of our backgrounds. Government works for the people and should never become power-hungry, tyrannical, or obstruct the ability for some citizens to obtain data--particularly essential data about how their vote was counted. Clean elections are the foundation of a strong republic. Our agencies telling us everything is fine, isn't helping to inspire confidence. There needs to be accountability in our elections and in our state and federal agencies. Transparency is the cornerstone for enhancing trust. If we can’t rely on our government to favor transparency then we can’t trust their actions and results. Just like a child often can’t just be told what to do; they need to find out on their own. The people need to do their own independent research to ensure that the government is acting in their best interests. If you were an election official, wouldn’t you want to use all of the tools available to determine if your elections were accurate and free from irregularities? Wouldn’t you want to provide as much information to your citizens and partner with them so that they could feel better about the process and procedures? This information will also help local election officials better understand and address any issues with elections. Many of these officials aren’t able to do their job properly if they aren’t getting the proper information to audit elections accurately and comprehensively. Disrespecting FOIA law and attacking innocent citizens who are just asking questions and gathering and analyzing data is not a good look. South Carolina can do better.

by American Revival Press Staff June 23 2023 They say a picture is worth a thousand words... Well look at what has become of the Mighty Euphrates river!? Here is another more recent example: Iraq is currently in the midst of one of the worst droughts in the world! Since the very beginning the Tigris and Euphrates River's watered the nation of Iraq giving it some of the best farmland in the Middle East. In antiquity this region was known as "The Fertile Crescent". Academia commonly refers to the area as "Mesopotamia" or literally translated "The Land between the Two Rivers". The "perfect storm" of events is unfolding in Iraq in what could soon become the worst drought in the Middle East in modern history! 35 years of declining rainfall in Iraq is only a part of the trouble - the whole of the Middle East and into Turkey is being plagued by rains starting later in the season and ending earlier. But the last two or three years have been the worst in decades for Iraq. Not only are their main rivers drying up but all the places the rivers would fill, marshes and swamp-lands, tributaries and lakes are also diminishing or in some places completely evaporating! In 2022 some 90% of their crops, mostly wheat and barley, failed due to lack of rainfall. Here is a picture showing how low the water level has fallen under a bridge: Iraq has been blaming Turkey for their shutting off the water supply upstream but Turkey argues that rainfall decline where the rivers originate is the cause of the Tigris and Euphrates drying, not their holding back water from Turkish dams. “Desertification now threatens almost 40% of the area of our country – a country that was once one of the most fertile and productive in the region,” Iraq’s President Abdul Latif Rashid told the climate summit in Egypt, November 2022. “The ancient Fertile Crescent will disappear in this century,” forecasts Akio Kitoh of Japan’s Meteorological Research Institute in Tsukuba, Japan. “The process has already begun.” Nadhir Al-Ansari, professor at Sweden’s Lulea University of Technology, told Reuters that rainfall in Iraq had declined by 30% over the past three decades, with the lowest precipitation coming in the last two years. “What was once known as the Fertile Crescent started to die about 35 years ago,” he said. What literally ON EARTH is happening!? We at American Revival Press do not hold to a "global warming" or "climate change" pseudo-science agenda as literally nothing of what their prophets have said have come to pass. We are working on an article to expose this "climate change" hoax and propaganda now. But this article about the drying of these historic rivers has an even greater significance than "climate change". The Bible prophesies some 2,000 years ago that the Euphrates would dry up and that this would be a sign as to the coming end of the age. Revelation 16:12, "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared." But also Revelation 9:14+ "Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates." Here is the Euphrates years ago before it started to dry up: Here is a picture of the Euphrates from a year ago: Another comparison: There are dozens of these events taking place in our lifetime signalling that the time is near. Having said that, could God reverse all of this!? Absolutely. Without a doubt, repentance could come to the earth, people could start seeking after righteousness and God could wind back the clock. It has happened many times throughout our history wherein disaster seemed eminent and the sentencing final but the people contended before God and the Lord heard their prayers and gave mercy. The entire story of Jonah goes like this... But there is also the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Not only did the people refuse to repent they doubled down on their rebellion and hatred towards God by seeking to rape and define His angels who came to Lot.
