COLORADO CHURCH WORSHIP LEADERS PRESENT SUPER BOWL THEMED “DIRTY DANCING” PARODY DURING SUNDAY SERVICE

GRAND JUNCTION, Co. — A husband and wife who serve as worship pastors at a church in Colorado presented a Super Bowl-themed parody of the “Dirty Dancing” tune “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” during yesterday’s Sunday service.
Fellowship Church in Grand Junction posted the performance to social media, which shows Joe and Julie Tennyson mimicking some of the moves and lyrics from the 1987 film before acting out a scenario where a husband is excited to watch the Super Bowl — but the date also falls on his anniversary.
“I’ve been waiting all season long/Now the big game’s coming on just past three,” Tennyson sings.
“Got a cute dress at the mall/Reservation for our anniversary,” his wife smiles.
“Anticipation in my eyes/Invited all of the guys for the party,” Tennyson gleams.
“Why is he in that jersey/Surely he won’t wear that to the winery,” his wife worries in the skit.
Tennyson then suddenly remembers it is his anniversary, but hopes his wife will get over the clash of dates. She attempts to run into his arms, but he turns and jumps into the hands of a waiting football team, similarly reenacting a scene from “Dirty Dancing.”
Upset, the wife sings out that this will cost her husband “diamond earrings and a cruise.” The two make up by the end of the song, stating that although they have their times of strife, they will always love each other.
The skit was applauded online by viewers, stating that the parody was “the coolest and the funniest,” “the best thing I’ve seen anywhere for a long time,” and that the couple “nailed it” and “[h]it it out of the park.”
According to an outline of “Dirty Dancing” from The Conversation, in addition to scenes where men and women are “grinding and twisting against each other” and engaging in sexually suggestive dance moves, “[m]uch of the film’s plot revolves around an illegal abortion.”
“When Johnny’s dance partner Penny needs an abortion, Baby loans the money to pay for the procedure and steps in to learn the routine to ensure the dancers’ employment the following summer,” it explains. “But when Baby asks her father, a doctor, to help Penny after the botched abortion, he bans her from seeing ‘those people.'”
The lyrics to the original “Time of My Life” include: “With my body and soul, I want you more than you’ll ever know/So we’ll just let it go; don’t be afraid to lose control, no/ Yes, I know what’s on your mind when you say, ‘Stay with me tonight.'”
The site Reformation Charlotte expressed concern over the church parody on Monday, writing, “One can only imagine God’s favor pouring out on this church as this production is being put on — because, you know, this exalts the name of Christ in every way.”
In his book, “Culture: Living as Citizens of Heaven on Earth,” the late preacher A.W. Tozer wrote, “A new moral power will flow back into the Church when we stop preaching social adjustment and begin to preach social repudiation and cross carrying. Modern Christians hope to save the world by being like it, but it will never work. The Church’s power over the world springs out of her unlikeness to it, never her integration into it.”
The late preacher Leonard Ravenhill also once said, “God’s house is a dunghill tonight. It is a dunghill of poor theology. It is a dunghill of worldliness. And Jesus weeps over it.”

Former governor of Florida Jeb Bush and current Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted their approval of the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, which featured pop stars Shakira and Jennifer Lopez scantily-clad, engaging in numerous sexual gestures and with Lopez mounting a stripper pole. Former governor and current Sen. Rick Scott also remarked that the show was “great,” but that “America was robbed” by not including the rapper Pitbull.

“Best Super Bowl half time show ever,” Bush wrote, generating 152K likes as of press time.
“@shakira & @JLo featuring BadBunny & J Balvin with an A+ #PepsiHalftime at #SuperBowlLIV,” posted Rubio, who identifies as a “follower of Christ” on his page.
“Great halftime show from @JLo and @Shakira. But no @Pitbull? America was robbed. #Dale #LoveFL,” Scott tweeted.
View the tweets herehere and here.
The performance at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which included the songs “Hips Don’t Lie” and “Waiting for Tonight”, was decried by many on social media as being “inappropriate,” “sexually provocative,” “nasty,” “vulgar” and “soft porn.”
“Singers J. Lo and Shakira paired up for a 15-minute raunchfest of thongs and crotch shots and stripper poles and writhing around on the floor,” also wrote Daily Wire writer Joseph Curl. “At one point in the show, the two stars stood side by side and just shook their butts. Cue closeups.”
“And throughout, the female backup dancers were even more scantily clad, while the male dancers went hardcore S&M. Often, there were children dancing on the stage,” he wrote. “The whole thing was more appropriate for J Lo’s latest stripper movie, not prime time worldwide TV.”
The Associated Press reports that Lopez told the outlet on Saturday that she believed God ordained for her to be in the event this year.
“There were many years that I thought about doing the Super Bowl and that it was something that I wanted to do and even where I was talked to about it. This is when God choose me to do it,” she said. “This is when it was meant to be. This is when it was destined to be and we’re ready and we can’t wait. I can’t wait.”
According to reports, the halftime show was meant — in part — to celebrate women’s empowerment and the performers’ Latin American heritage, but some say that it rather objectified women as sex objects.
“We have had so much positive discussion about not treating women like sexual objects, then they go and do this. You can’t cry that women need to be treated better then support this display of sexual objectifying,” one commenter wrote.
Likewise, a number of followers of Bush, Rubio and Scott took issue with their approval of the halftime show.
“It was a glorified strip show. Disgraceful that young girls watching [may] think it’s okay to exploit your body like that,” one commenter wrote to Bush.
“Seriously? You share Scripture everyday! They were literally pole dancing on stage,” another wrote to Rubio. “He was [engaging in a simulated sexual act on] her, and then they brought young girls up to dance and twerk. It’s shameful. My daughter was disgusted; my husband left the room because she was so embarrassed.”
“[A]ny public figure that would go to Twitter to specifically praise that halftime show has lost my respect,” one commented about Scott.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

Super Bowl Halftime Show: Cultural Decay

Todd Friel: The Super Bowl Half Time Show was APPALLING
The Super Bowl Halftime Show was a DISGRACE
The Super Bowl LIV half time show featured J. Lo and Shakira in a racy, vulgar, and totally inappropriate performance for this supposedly family-friendly event. The Super Bowl should never have approved such a trashy performance. In this trashy to classy series, I like to examine elements of our culture that could be bettered and certainly this is an example of one of them.

DEMOCRATS CALL TRUMP “RACIST” AGAIN AS HE ADDS SIX NEW COUNTRIES TO “OUTRAGEOUS, UN-AMERICAN” TRAVEL BAN

DEMOCRATS CALL TRUMP “RACIST” AGAIN 
AS HE ADDS SIX NEW COUNTRIES TO “OUTRAGEOUS, UN-AMERICAN” TRAVEL BAN

The Trump administration contends that the bans are for security reasons, that the countries in question cannot or will not provide adequate information about the people wanting to come in. This is entirely reasonable, but for the Left, concern for national security is “racist” and must be done away with.
“Democrats attack Trump as racist after he expands travel ban to six new countries,” by Victor Rantala, BizPacReview, February 2, 2020:
Democrats criticized the White House announcement that the United States will add six more countries to a controversial travel ban that originally was called a “Muslim ban” by the left, and that Joe Biden on Saturday called a new “African Ban.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi led the charge in opposition to the travel ban expansion, describing it as “discrimination disguised as policy.”
“The Trump administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law,” her statement reads. “The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy.”
To no one’s surprise, she added that Democrats will do all in their power to resist the president. “In the Congress and in the Courts, House Democrats will continue to oppose the Administration’s dangerous anti-immigrant agenda. In the coming weeks, the House Judiciary Committee will mark-up and bring to the Floor the NO BAN Act to prohibit religious discrimination in our immigration system and limit the President’s ability to impose such biased and bigoted restrictions.”
On Friday, Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf told reporters that after a “systematic review” of all countries, six nations were added to the travel ban list: Burma, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Sudan, and Tanzania.
Prior to this latest expansion, restrictions on immigrant and non-immigrant visas were in place for seven countries, to include Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
After enduring multiple court challenges to the original travel ban, the Supreme Court upheld its constitutionality in 2018.
According to Wolf, the additional six nations have lighter restrictions than the original seven. “These countries, for the most part, want to be helpful, want to do the right thing, have relationships with the U.S. and are in some cases improving relations, but for a variety of different reasons failed to meet those minimum requirements that we laid out,” he said. “And really the only way to mitigate the risk is to impose these travel restrictions.”…

RUSH LIMBAUGH, EPIC VOICE OF CONSERVATISM MALIGNED BY AMORAL MONSTERS: VERIFIED LEFTISTS CELEBRATE RUSH’S LUNG CANCER ON TWITTER

HIS ANNOUNCEMENT:

Rush Limbaugh’s Advanced Cancer Diagnosis Threatens Epic Voice of Conservatism

Rush Limbaugh’s 31-year radio talkradio dynasty faces its biggest challenge as the voice of conservatism for more than a generation announces a diagnosis of advanced lung cancer. Both Bill Whittle and Scott Ott, who each enjoy careers shaped by Limbaugh’s epic pioneering accomplishments and have personal connection stories with him, reflect on the impact of one man on a nation.

AMORAL MONSTERS: VERIFIED LEFTISTS CELEBRATE RUSH LIMBAUGH’S LUNG CANCER ON TWITTER 

BY PAUL JOSEPH WATSON

Numerous verified leftists on Twitter reacted to Rush Limbaugh’s announcement that he was suffering from “advanced lung cancer” by celebrating the news.
The veteran radio host broke the news earlier today on his show, telling his viewers, “I can’t help but feel that I’m letting everybody down with. The upshot is that I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.”
Blue check marks on Twitter couldn’t contain their delight.
“It’s not cool to joke about Rush Limbaugh having cancer. You might jinx it,” said writer Johnny McNulty.

Writer and director Xavier Burgin called Limbaugh “an odious, white supremacist, scum of the Earth” and said his cancer should be celebrated as “good news for Black History Month.”
“Seeing a lot of people celebrating the news about Rush Limbaugh. And I just want to say good. Carry on,” remarked GQ writer and Bernie Sanders supporter Freddie Campion.
NYT bestselling author Jamie Ford reacted to Limbaugh’s cancer by equating him with a fascist and commenting, “History is a harsh mistress.”
John Tayler tweeted, “It’s only fitting that this cancer upon the world should be stricken by it.”
null
Left-wing website Raw Story taunted Limbaugh by bringing up an old show in which the radio host had said “I would like a medal for smoking.”
Media Matters’ Oliver Willis reacted to the tragic news by calling Limbaugh a sexist.
Numerous other leftists in a Huffington Post thread announcing Limbaugh’s lung cancer also reacted with glee.
“At least one of my prayers was answered,” remarked one.
“Sometimes, every once in a while, there is a tiny bit of justice,” added another.
“May he suffer a painful humiliating death, the same way he humiliated others, Amen. Enjoy Hell Rush,” remarked another.
“F--k Rush Limbaugh. Also, f--k his cancer for being 40 years too late,” said Christopher M Ohlhoff.
These are the same people who will assert the moral high ground at every available opportunity.
In reality, they’re amoral monsters who want to see people suffer painful deaths simply because they hold different political opinions.

EVANGELICAL CHARITY WORLD VISION “KNOWINGLY FUNDED GROUP SANCTIONED FOR FUNDING TERRORISM”

EVANGELICAL CHARITY WORLD VISION “KNOWINGLY FUNDED GROUP SANCTIONED FOR FUNDING TERRORISM”
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research

“World Vision International, an international evangelical Christian humanitarian aid, development, and advocacy charity that is active in nearly 100 countries paid funds to a Sudan-based organization, the Islamic Relief Agency (IRA), that allegedly provided financial support to the late Osama bin Laden.”
This news is compounded by an NGO Monitor report about World Vision:
  • According to World Vision, “Our work in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories remains one of the most challenging places where we operate, and one of the most difficult for children. That’s why we have been there for more than 40 years.”
  • Promotes a highly politicized and biased agenda, placing sole blame for the continuation of the conflict on Israel and paying little attention to legitimate Israeli security concerns or Palestinian terrorism against Israeli civilians. This includes calling the security barrier “illegal,” ignoring the fact that the barrier was built in the wake of the second intifada in which Israeli civilians were the targets of near daily suicide bombings.
And how does World Vision justify its anti-Israel bias?
We are Christian:  “We seek to follow Jesus — in his identification with the poor, the powerless, the afflicted, the oppressed, and the marginalized … in his challenge to unjust attitudes and systems; in his call to share resources with each other …”
Unfortunately, truths including Israel’s history, justice, the history of jihad and the Palestinian leadership’s aim to obliterate Israel since 1948 are of little concern to a group which claims to “follow Jesus.”
This isn’t the first time World Vision has been implicated in promoting jihad terror. The Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs and Public Diplomacy reported:
World Vision is a well-established international Christian relief organization that has operations in the Palestinian Authority and the Gaza Strip. Hamas’s military wing recruited Mohammed Halabi in 2005, and in 2010 Halabi became Regional Manager of World Vision in Gaza until he was arrested in 2016. During this time, Halabi took advantage of his position and transferred aid, equipment and relief packages sent by World Vision to Hamas, which were used to pay the salaries of Hamas operatives, and support the construction of terror tunnels and Hamas’ military buildup. Approximately 60% of the NGO’s Gaza branch’s annual budget was transferred to Hamas.
There are still those who argue for Halabi’s innocence, but the Religion News Service reported in 2016 that “the Shin Bet said in a statement that Mohammed El Halabi admitted to being a Hamas activist.”
“Evangelical Charity Knowingly Funded Group Sanctioned For Funding Terrorism,” by Adelle Nazarian, Daily Caller, January 31, 2020:
World Vision International, an international evangelical Christian humanitarian aid, development, and advocacy charity that is active in nearly 100 countries paid funds to a Sudan-based organization, the Islamic Relief Agency (IRA), that allegedly provided financial support to the late Osama bin Laden.
The U.S. Department of Treasury sanctioned Islamic Relief in 2004 for giving support to Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda’s Sudanese affiliate. Islamic Relief goes by several acronyms namely, IRA, ISRA and IARA.
Cliff Smith, Washington Director for the Middle East Forum, and Sam Westrop, Director of the Islamist Watch Program at the Middle East Forum, revealed their findings in an interview with The Investigative Journal this week. In February 2014, World Vision received a grant of over $723,405 from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and part of that money was earmarked for IRA.
“What we know for sure is there was a $39,000 start-up payment that was given to them before the grand payment we know about and then here was the $125,000 that was approved by Treasury after the whole scandal was written,” Smith said. It remains unclear exactly who in the Obama administration knew about the error in funding. Smith added, “they knew, and this is one of the few times you will hear me say this: I do not primarily blame the Obama administration for this. I primarily blame World Vision. USAID did not double-check and signed off on the grant without looking,” he said.
According to Smith, World Vision claimed that they would get kicked out of Sudan if they had ceased their relationship with IRA. World Vision continued its funding even after a meeting took place in which USAID, World Vision, and the Swiss-based NGO the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Smith said they were all in the same room when the IOM decided against working with IRA due to its terrorist links…..

SUPER BOWL SURREALITY: FOX SPORTS REJECTED PRO-LIFE COMMERCIAL, BUT RAN DRAG QUEEN AD


SUPER BOWL SURREALITY: FOX SPORTS REJECTED PRO-LIFE COMMERCIAL, 
BUT RAN DRAG QUEEN AD 
BY SELWYN DUKE
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research

“Let all the babies be born. Then let us drown those we do not like,” remarked G.K. Chesterton in 1932. That certainly would bring home the reality of abortion. Yet that many would rather drown it out is no doubt a major reason why FOX Sports, after giving a pro-life organization a six-month run-around, wouldn’t air its Super Bowl advertisement. Making matters worse, the network did air a commercial featuring Sexual Devolution activists and drag queens. Welcome to the new abnormal.
It’s not that FOX had a problem with controversial ads, per se, run during this year’s big game in which the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-20. The network did play, for example, campaign commercials for President Trump and Michael Bloomberg. One of the latter’s ads involved an attack on Trump; another was devoted to gun restrictions and evoked controversy and accusations of deceit even before the Sunday event. All in all, presidential candidates and their allies spent more than $21 million on Super Bowl ad buys. Money talks.
Except, that is, when it’s pro-lifers’ money. Just ask the group Faces of Choice. It contends that FOX “deliberately delayed approving its application for airtime so that they would run out of air space before having to issue a response to the request,” reported The New American on Thursday.
“The commercial in question features more than a dozen abortion survivors in varying stages of their lives from all around the world, who ask, ‘Can you look me in the eye and say I should have been aborted?’ The advertisement’s youngest abortion survivor is seven-year-old Zechariah Hagan, one of the first abortion pill reversal (APR, a treatment to reverse the effects of an initial dose of an abortion drug) success stories,” TNA continued.
Faces of Choice premiered its powerful new ad at the March for Life January 24 and had hoped to air the shortened version of it (below) during Sunday’s big game.
But while the group’s hopes were dashed, FOX did run a Sabra hummus commercial featuring “drag queens Kim Chi and Miz Cracker from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’” to quote LifeNews.
No, the Sabra commercial is not explicitly political. But if some think this renders it socially irrelevant, it’s not just that what’s assumed is learned best and that all ads transmit “values,” implicitly if not explicitly. It’s that the sexual devolutionaries themselves say otherwise. Just consider LGBTQ marketing strategist Bob Witeck, who celebrated the commercial.
“’For queer audiences, it is an art form and an ‘outsiders’ language,’ Witek [sic] said of drag,” LifeNews relates the activist as telling NBC. “‘Reaching the Super Bowl means taking our language into every home in the nation and millions around the world.’”
“Witeck said the Sabra ad, which could reach around 100 million viewers during the Super Bowl, is indicative of a sea change in the public perception of drag, which he said has been normalized in the mainstream for many years, thanks in large part to the success of the award-winning reality show ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’” NBC continued.
The normalization Witeck speaks of is a tried and true strategy, outlined long ago by two sexual devolutionaries named Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen. In their 1989 book After the Ball, they called for a “conversion of the average American’s emotions, mind, and will” on homosexual behavior “through a planned psychological attack, in the form of propaganda fed to the nation via the media.”
The idea is to bombard people with the images, characters, and ideas associated with the behavior in question until they’re inured to them; also, encourage people to conflate the actor with the act as much as possible (not hard, since people often do this naturally) so that those opposing the act are seen as opposing the actor.
Once accomplished, the next step is to attach such value to the actor — and to the idea of valuing him — that those seen as opposing him (by virtue of opposing his behavior) will themselves be stigmatized, along with their morals. This is how you flip society’s script from virtue to vice and Truth to lies.
Hunter and Madsen mentioned this, too, stating that society’s thinking could be transformed (twisted) so that homosexual behavior’s opponents would be cowed and “effectively silenced” in the future. That future is today — and now the process is being repeated with the Made-up Sexual Status (MUSS, or “transgender”) agenda.
Far from reflecting love, however, the sexual confusion engendered by the MUSS movement devastates kids. A good example is Nathaniel (last name withheld), a teen boy who had the misnamed “sex-change” surgery a bit more than a year ago, shortly afterwards regretted it, and now calls it a “Frankenstein” transition that has “ruined” his life. The MUSS agenda is rending bodies, psyches, and souls, and those in its grip too often meet their end in suicide.
But no other type of child abuse’s body count compares to prenatal infanticide’s, and this is no doubt a reason why so many don’t want to see the Faces of Choice ad. Thus did FOX make the group jump through hoops for six months, taking the coward’s way out. The network ran out the clock (excellent summation here), says the pro-life organization’s founder, Lyric Gillett — and then finally just said it had run out of ad space.
But it’s really just that prenatal infanticide’s defenders are running from Truth. Many people don’t even know that abortion survivors exist. And seeing their appeals brings home that they’re not just real live human beings now, with the capacity for love greatness — they also were so in the womb.
Then there are those who aren’t so lucky. Some of their stories are brought to you in the gut-wrenching Life Dynamics video below (the segment beginning at 8:34 is especially jarring)
But the problem here isn’t so much that we don’t know what to do, but that we don’t do what we know. As Chesterton also wrote, “Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable.”

Alex Jones breaks down a scientific study showing how the coronavirus has “key structural proteins” of HIV, indicating the virus is man-made and was developed in a laboratory setting.
Also tune in at infowars.com/show
Original article by Mike Adams of Natural News appears below:
Two days ago, a paper published in the Biorxiv.org journal presented findings that indicated the coronavirus appeared to be engineered with “key structural proteins” of HIV. The paper, entitled, “Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120
and Gag,” concluded that the engineering of coronavirus with such gene sequences was “unlikely to be fortuitous in nature,” providing strong scientific support for the theory that the coronavirus is an engineered bioweapon that escaped laboratory containment in China.
The coverage of this paper by Zero Hedge led to a firestorm of denials by governments, health authorities and the CIA-controlled media, not surprisingly. Any suggestion that the coronavirus was engineered as a bioweapon had to be immediately eliminated. The prevailing panic by the establishment sought to blame this outbreak on Mother Nature — i.e. bats, snakes, seafood, etc. — rather than the human beings who are playing around with deadly biological weapons that are designed to extinguish human life.
Within hours, Twitter slapped down a permanent ban on Zero Hedge, making sure the independent publisher could no longer reach its Twitter audience. After all, the first casualty in any pandemic is the truth, and Jack Dorsey is not only an enabler of pedophiles and child rapists, he’s also an authoritarian tyrant who wants to make sure the public is completely isolated from any “non official” reports about this pandemic. (Jack Dorsey has sided with communist China, in other words. Is anyone surprised?)
Under the intense pressure, the authors of the original paper have now withdrawn the paper and intend to revise it. The publication that originally carried the paper now has a warning message stating, “This article has been withdrawn. Click here for details.” (See original source link here.)
In addition, the publisher has posted a message warning that all the science papers it posts as “preliminary reports” that “should not be regarded as conclusive,” especially when the science establishment is panicked that its official narratives might be crumbling by the hour.
No doubt the authors of this particular paper have been sufficiently threatened to revise their conclusions, and an update of their original paper will soon be posted that effectively denounces everything they stated in the original paper. The criminal wing of the science establishment strikes again, of course, and this tactic of threatening scientists with loss of funding, being blacklisted or even physically threatened and killed is not unusual at all. The CDC, NIH and even the EPA have long histories of threatening scientists with being harmed or killed if they don’t fall in line with the prevailing lies of the establishment. In some cases, they’ve even imprisoned scientists for fraud after those individuals refused to retract their papers. This has been especially common in research areas such as HIV / AIDS, pandemics and vaccines. Any scientist who finds fault with the establishment is destroyed, imprisoned or murdered.
In fact, I’ve interviewed one of the science victims of this, named Judy Mikovits, PhD. Watch my full interview here, but keep reading below first, because there’s a lot more to this story that will shock you:

PSHUTTLE-SN SEQUENCE PROVES THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC WAS DEFINITELY ENGINEERED IN A LAB

Now, stunning new evidence has emerged that proves the coronavirus was definitely engineered in a laboratory and may have been deliberately injected into patients as part of a Chinese vaccine experiment gone wrong.
As detailed by James Lyons-Weiler, PhD, founder of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge and author of 57 peer-reviewed publications, an analysis of the gene sequence for the coronavirus finds a peculiar sequence called “pShuttle-SN.” This sequence is is the remnant of a genetic engineering sequence that’s used to insert genes into viruses and bacteria. It provides irrefutable “open source” proof that the coronavirus now circulating in the wild was engineered in a laboratory. Every lab that has the gene sequence can see this for themselves. It’s right out in the open, which is why we describe this revelation as “open source.”
“One thing we can say for certain is that this particular virus has a laboratory origin,” states Lyons-Weiler in a bombshell interview with Del Bigtree of The Highwire (see video below, via Brighteon.com, since the video would be banned everywhere else).
This genomic evidence does not, however, prove whether it was produced as a bioweapon or as a vaccine experiment. It could be either one, according to Lyons-Weiler:
In fact, if you then take that sequence and compare it to other proteins, we find that it’s actually a SARS protein that was put into a coronavirus for the purpose of making the vaccine work better. That’s why this element is in there, to create a more reactogenic vaccine.
There’s bombshell after bombshell in this interview, especially at the 27:59 and 33:57 marks. Watch it exclusively at Brighteon.com, given that this information is of course being banned everywhere else by the anti-human tech giants, all of which are now siding with communist China to cover up the truth:

IF IT WAS A VACCINE EXPERIMENT GONE WRONG, THEN THE WORLD IS IN REAL TROUBLE, WARNS ANALYST

Why does it matter whether the origin was a Chinese vaccine experiment vs. a bioweapon? As previous research has revealed, when these SARS insertions into the coronavirus are introduced into animal as part of a vaccine, they create heightened fatalities when patients are exposed to other coronavirus strains.
In effect, being vaccinated with this particular strain of coronavirus causes individuals to be more easily killed by the common cold and other non-pandemic coronavirus strains that are circulating in the wild.
This is confirmed in the following science paper published in the PLoS ONE science journal: Immunization with SARS Coronavirus Vaccines Leads to Pulmonary Immunopathology on Challenge with the SARS Virus.
This horrifying realization emerged when Chinese researchers were trying to make a SARS vaccine following the SARS outbreak from several years ago. They discovered that the SARS vaccine increased fatalities instead of saving people. Further study revealed that the SARS sequence being inserted into the coronavirus made the virus far more deadly, effectively transforming it into a bioweapon whether intended or not.
Now, James Lyons-Weiler, PhD, has published a detailed article explaining the SARS insertion into the coronavirus and why this is proof that the coronavirus now circulating in the wild is of laboratory origin, not coming from bats and snakes. From his interview, above:
Was it a vaccine that the Chinese government was experimenting with? … If you use a SARS vaccine in ferrets, rats or monkeys, and then they get a secondary infection of a SARS virus, the elderly and immunocompromised end up dying.
So what we may in fact be looking at is a hidden attempt by the Chinese to get a jump on this, the economics of vaccines… it’s not working no matter who develops the vaccine, and that’s why the last time there was a SARS vaccine, the vaccine developers could not get funding because the mice, the rats were dying.
I can say with certainty it’s not just a wild type coronavirus that just happened to acquire this [SARS] element. It’s laboratory acquired somehow. It has escaped from the laboratory or people have been vaccinated with it and that’s why it’s in their bodies…
There’s a huge difference in the predicted health outcome for the world if this is a vaccination experiment in China versus just a laboratory escaped vaccine. In the vaccination experiment, you’re not vaccinated against coronavirus with that vaccine…, so if the Chinese tried to get a jump on the vaccine market by surreptitiously running clinical trials against the coronavirus, and made their elderly and immunocompromised more susceptible to death due to subsequent infection by any coronavirus with this protein that’s in the vaccine, then the rest of the world has a serious humanitarian issue…
…if it is a biological laboratory weapons escape, it’s going to be a nightmare, but if it’s a vaccine type that escaped because of an accidental injection into someone, it’s going to be worse than… if they made their entire population susceptible to SARS with a vaccine program.
In other words, if it’s an escaped vaccine strain that has now gone wild, the entire world is now vulnerable to the SARS-coronavirus gene insertion which was previously found to be killing lab animals, which is why the SARS vaccine program was halted (because it was too dangerous to test on humans).
As Lyons-Weiler writes, “IPAK researchers found a sequence similarity between a pShuttle-SN recombination vector sequence and INS1378. Here’s a shot of the alignment and the DOT Plot.”
This sequence has a 92% match with the Spike protein from the SARS coronavirus:
The process for achieving this was patented by Chinese researchers as shown in this patent link.
Lyons-Weiler warns:
The disease progression in of 2019-nCoV is consistent with those seen in animals and humans vaccinated against SARS and then challenged with re-infection. Thus, the hypothesis that 2019-nCoV is an experimental vaccine type must be seriously considered.
He further concludes that this appears almost certain to be a vaccine experiment gone wrong:
The available evidence most strongly supports that the 2019-NCoV virus is a vaccine strain of coronavirus either accidentally released from a laboratory accident, perhaps a laboratory researcher becoming infected with the virus while conducting animal experiments, or the Chinese were performing clinical studies of a Coronavirus vaccine in humans.
If this is further confirmed, we may, in fact, be looking at a true vaccine holocaust where vaccine researchers are now subjecting the entire world to a deadly mistake that could theoretically cause a very large number of fatalities… all in the quest for vaccine profits, of course.
As Lyons-Weiler further warns:
If the Chinese government has been conducting human trials against SARS. MERS, or other coronviruses using recombined viruses, they may have made their citizens far more susceptible to acute respiratory distress syndrome upon infection with 2019-nCoV coronavirus.
The implications are clear: if China sensitized their population via a SARS vaccine, and this escaped from a lab, the rest of world has a serious humanitarian urgency to help China, but may not expect as serious an epidemic as might otherwise be expected.
In the worst-case scenario, if the vaccination strain is more highly contagious and lethal, 2019-nCoV could become the worst example of vaccine-derived contagious disease in human history.

TECH GIANTS NOW WORKING OVER TIME TO COVER IT ALL UP, CENSOR ALL DISSENTING VIEWS, AND REINFORCE COMMUNIST CHINA’S OFFICIAL LIES

As expected, the evil tech giants are working overtime to squelch any dissenting views and protect the vaccine industry as well as the bioweapons industry. No blame can be allowed to fall on either one. Instead, Mother Nature must be blamed for all this. And that means the truth must be silenced… a strategy that is, of course, routine for the vaccine industry.
Every channel, voice or website now exploring any human origins of this coronavirus strain — whether related to vaccines or bioweapons — is being rapidly de-platformed and attacked. In some cases, websites are being sabotaged and taken offline, as happened with Natural News last week (we have since recovered, which is why you are able to read this).
Yet the anti-human tech giants are unified in their efforts to silence all information that contradicts official lies, no matter how scientifically accurate that information may be.

UNC CHARLOTTE TO HOST DRAG QUEENS, CLASSES ON SILICONE SEX TOYS & PORNOGRAPHY TO TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT “SAFE SEX”

UNC CHARLOTTE TO HOST DRAG QUEENS, CLASSES ON SILICONE SEX TOYS & PORNOGRAPHY TO TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT “SAFE SEX” 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research

UNC Charlotte is gearing up for its annual sex week where it will host drag queens and offer classes on caring for silicone sex toys in order to teach students about safe sex. According to the event’s website, students can also be tested for HIV and syphilis for free.
“Sex Week is bringing together organizations on and off-campus to create a unified educational experience that addresses topics of sex safety, sex positivity, sexuality and gender orientation, and much more,” the website’s About page states. “We want to encourage an environment in which students feel comfortable asking questions and talking about sex.”
Of course, by “free,” they mean funded by SGA grants (according to the event’s FAQ) — which means, parents are paying for this. SGA grants are paid into by student fees and, by requirement, any event that receives SGA grants must be open to all enrolled students.
So, hey, parents, since you’ve paid for it already, why not send your kids to “Learn about the design, development, and care of silicone sex toys. Join Sex Week to learn how 3D printing and silicone molding can be used to produce custom toys, and make your own body-safe toy”?
The week will kick off with a session on Condoms and Cookies.
What better way to benefit youth than teaching them to treat dirty movies like any other form of media? Get a load of this one, parents.
Oh, and for LGBTQ, you get two full courses of LGBTQ+ Sex Ed to learn about “102 focuses specifically on healthier relationships, sexual toys and enhancements, and sexual behaviors” and you can follow that up with a session on how to pleasure yourself.
Then, you can finish off the week with a Lingerie Party and a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show — performed by drag queens. What a great week, parents. We sure hope you get everything you paid for in this.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST BETH MOORE SAYS PEOPLE AGAINST SOCIAL JUSTICE HAVE “NUTS IN A JAR”

BETH MOORE SAYS PEOPLE AGAINST SOCIAL JUSTICE HAVE “NUTS IN A JAR”

Beth Moore turned heads today when on Twitter she gave her regular daily dose of crazy (her tweets are increasingly bizarre).
Somebody must honestly be spiking the water in the church pipes with LSD if we’re buying into using the gospel OF JESUS as the biblical reason to ignore injustice. We’ve lost our ever-loving minds. Knock yourselves out. I’m no academic but I know a jar of nuts when I see one.— Beth Moore (@BethMooreLPM) January 30, 2020
A jar of nuts.
The woman is literally insane.
Those pushing the Marxist trend of “social justice” are quick to accuse traditional, freedom-loving Americans of not caring about justice.
It is stunning that they equate leftist talking points with the gospel of Jesus. -Critical Race Theory? -Turning everything into a "pro-life issue"? -Growing acceptance of homosexuality? -Socialism?
The argument as it relates to the leftist Social Justice movement in evangelicalism is:
(A) Whether Social Justice positions for abortion, Critical Race Theory, homosexuality, and communism are really “just” at all?
And: (B) Whether or not the Gospel’s purpose is to “do justice”?
Liberation Theology, a Marxist scheme from South America in the 1970s, says that justice is the purpose, goal, and heart of the gospel. Christians believe the Gospel’s purpose, goal, and heart is a dead and crucified Savior who gave his life as a means of grace.
Beth Moore agrees with Liberation Theologians and insists that being a do-gooder is part and parcel with preaching the gospel.
Unfortunately, the list of good-deeds for Social Justice warriors is mostly a list of sins to support.
Friends, Pulpit & Pen is one of very few organizations working to expose the Marxist infiltration into churches.
Today we’re asking you to help defend Pulpit & Pen’s independence so we can fight error where the battle matters most: within the church. We’re a non-profit that depends on donations to stay online and thriving. Please consider making a donation of $5, $20, $50 or whatever you can to sustain Pulpit & Pen as we fight to reverse the modern day downgrade.  Thanks, JD Hall Pulpit & Pen Founder

EVANGELIST EXPOSES "EVANGELICAL DEEP STATE" IN INTERVIEW WITH ALEX NEWMAN 
OF THE NEW AMERICAN
Southern Baptist evangelist Thomas Littleton of Alabama joins The New American magazine's Alex Newman to discuss the "Evangelical Deep State." Among other topics, they talk about how false doctrines and dangerous heresies--especially on homosexuality and transgenderism (LGBT), as well as Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, and Cultural Marxism--are infiltrating even conservative evangelical churches in America. Part of it is funding from Deep State globalists hostile to the church and the Bible, and part of it is a lack of discernment among pastors and Christian leaders. Alex and Tom discuss the Southern Baptist Convention, the Presbyterian Church, and others. Tom names Albert Mohler as one of the key figures facilitating this.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST RUSSELL MOORE SAYS ABORTION ISN’T A POLITICAL ISSUE, DON’T WORRY ABOUT HOW YOU VOTE

RUSSELL MOORE SAYS ABORTION ISN’T A POLITICAL ISSUE, DON’T WORRY ABOUT HOW YOU VOTE

The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is led by an insufferable Democrat quisling, Russell Moore, who says he wishes his wife was a Democrat and more like Hillary Clinton. While weaponizing their “research fellows” over the March for Life weekend to attack Donald Trump for being pro-life, the ERLC circled wagons at the “we’re pro-life but not really” organization, Evangelicals for Life.
ABOVE: Notice this group was filled with Southern Baptists including Russell Moore, Danny Akin, David Platt, Ron Burns (Thabiti Anyabwile) and Kevin Ezell (President of NAMB).
Don’t let the name fool you. The conference was a who’s-who of “Never Trumpers” who are working tirelessly to place a Democrat in the White House in 2020. Speaking at the event along with Russell “I wish my wife were more like Hillary Clinton” Moore was the Social Justice warrior, David Platt, theoerotic divine romance novelist, Ann “I fly to Paris to make love to God” Voskamp, and Danny Akin, who has steered Southeastern Seminary to the hardcore left in the last two years.
And finally, the event hosted Thabiti Anyabwile (real name, Ron Burns), who said that he’d rather have dead babies than have Trump in office. His convictions, that babies are not as important as his allegiance to the Democrat Party, led Anyabwile to first endorse Bernie Sanders in the last election and later, Hillary Clinton.
It should come as no surprise to us then that the ERLC sent the message that “the pro-life agenda” is not a political agenda.
These Democrat leftists pretend as though they care about babies each year while abstaining from the March for Life and huddling together in D.C. to talk about the “sanctity of life” but discussing anything and everything except abortion.
Last year, this same group used their fake pro-life event to discuss the importance of Social Justice laws for Criminal Justice Reform, which they said is what it means to be ‘pro-life.’
Of course, the pro-life agenda is a political one. It is legal to murder infants and cut them down–limb from limb–because Russell Moore and Thabiti Anyabwile’s political party is in power.
These are false Christians, fake pro-lifers, and wicked, evil men. They are the wolves in sheep’s clothing we were warned about.
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Matthew 7:15

WHY THE U.N. REJECTED TRUMP’S MIDDLE EAST PEACE PLAN

WHY THE U.N. REJECTED TRUMP’S 
MIDDLE EAST PEACE PLAN 
Proving, once again, why its moral authority died so long ago
BY JOSEPH KLEIN
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research 
purposes:
United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Mladenov, predicted that the Middle East peace plan proposed by President Trump on January 28th will not become the basis of negotiations between Israelis and the Palestinians. The plan “does meet every single red line that Israel has put in place for negotiations, but stops very far from addressing the concerns of the Palestinian side,” Mladenov said. A statement issued by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres' spokesman last Tuesday declared that the UN "remains committed to supporting Palestinians and Israelis to resolve the conflict on the basis of United Nations resolutions, international law and bilateral agreements and realizing the vision of two States - Israel and Palestine - living side by side in peace and security within recognized borders, on the basis of the pre-1967 lines." (Emphasis added)
Defining the highly insecure pre-1967 lines as the internationally recognized border between Israel and an independent Palestinian state would give the Palestinians what they have long demanded. Why should the Palestinians bother negotiating with Israel if the United Nations and the so-called “international community” are completely in their corner and consider anything less than agreeing to the Palestinians’ demands as illegitimate? No wonder Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is seeking to address the UN Security Council later this month on the Palestinians’ rejection of the Trump Middle East peace plan. “We say 1,000 ‘no’s to this deal,” Abbas declared on the day the plan was announced. "Trump, Jerusalem is not for sale. Our rights are not for sale. Your conspiracy deal will not pass," he added. Members of the Hamas and the Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations attended Abbas' speech in Ramallah. Abbas claimed that he and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh agreed to stand together as a unified front.
The Palestinian representative to the UN, Riyad Mansour, said that the Palestinians intend to have a draft resolution submitted to the Security Council supporting their rejection of the Trump peace plan. Knowing the U.S. will certainly veto such a draft resolution, the Palestinians are hoping to use the UN as usual to isolate the United States and Israel diplomatically.
"Of course we would like to see a strong, large opposition to this Trump plan," Mansour told reporters, standing alongside Tunisian Ambassador to the UN Moncef Baati, who is currently serving a two-year term on the 15-member Security Council. No doubt after the Security Council draft resolution is vetoed, the Palestinians and their friends will run to the General Assembly, where they can count on many anti-U.S., anti-Israel votes to supposedly “legitimize” the Palestinians’ rejectionism. According to Mansour, Abbas will use his visit to the UN to "put before the entire international community the reaction of the Palestinian people and the Palestinian leadership against this onslaught against the national rights of the Palestinian people by the Trump administration."
U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Kelly Craft, warned the Palestinians last Friday that complaining about the U.S. peace plan to the UN would only "repeat the failed pattern of the last seven decades." She asked rhetorically, “why not instead take that displeasure and channel it into negotiations?" The reason is that the Palestinians have successfully weaponized the United Nations as their diplomatic propaganda arm of choice. The UN's apparent outright dismissal of the Trump peace plan is playing right into the Palestinians’ hands. It typifies the UN’s reckless pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel bias.
United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Mladenov, for example, completely ignored major concessions offered to the Palestinians in the plan, which is built around the principle of a two-state solution that incorporates a step by step pathway to an independent Palestinian state. These concessions include (1) providing the Palestinians with territory reasonably comparable in size to the territory of the West Bank and Gaza pre-1967, (2) a capital in a portion of East Jerusalem that could bear the name already used by the Palestinians, Al Quds, and (3) transportation links allowing efficient movement between Gaza and the West Bank, as well as throughout a future Palestine. Approximately 97% of Palestinians in the West Bank will be incorporated into contiguous Palestinian territory. The plan does not call for uprooting any Israelis or Palestinians from their homes. In areas of the West Bank that are not contemplated to be part of the State of Israel, according to President Trump’s Middle East peace plan, Israel will not build any new settlement towns, expand existing settlements, or demolish any structure existing as of the date of the plan. The plan also provides for significant economic assistance to the Palestinians.
Even assuming, for the sake of argument, that President Trump’s peace plan is as one-sided as its critics have charged, there is still no reason to completely dismiss its relevance to advancing direct negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians. The plan represents, at the very least, the most detailed and comprehensive description of the concessions the Israelis are willing to offer, accompanied by a map of territorial borders the Israelis believe they can safely accept in recognizing an independent Palestinian state. The Palestinians insist on a Palestinian state with borders based on the pre-1967 lines that Israel considers to be indefensible. Those are two negotiation positions, far apart as they are, that can still serve as starting points for further discussions directly between the parties. Although the Palestinians are so dug into their position that such discussions would most likely end without success, not even trying to get the Israeli and Palestinian leaders together to negotiate, starting with their respective current positions, is certainly doomed to failure and more violence.  
UN Security Council Resolution 242, which is still in effect, did not state that Israel had to give up all of the land it took away from Jordan after Jordan had attacked Israel. The November 22, 1967 resolution called for withdrawal of “Israel[i] armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict.” Several previous drafts of the resolution, which were rejected, had included a phrase specifically calling for “withdrawal from all the occupied territories.” (Emphasis added) The parties to the territorial dispute were supposed to negotiate for themselves the final borders. The resolution affirmed the “political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force.” (Emphasis added)
Efforts made since the adoption of Resolution 242 by the Security Council, General Assembly, and other UN forums to convert, by the stroke of a pen, the pre-1967 lines into “secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force” are invalid on their face. These UN bodies do not have the legal authority to decide the territorial borders between disputing parties except with the consent of those parties. Israel does not consent to the UN’s blessing of the Palestinians’ border design based on the pre-1967 lines. Israel has its own map. Only the direct parties to the dispute have standing to try to negotiate a resolution of their dispute. Israel is ready to do so. The Palestinian leadership refuses to do so unless they are guaranteed in advance the result they want.
At the January 29th press briefing by the spokesperson of the Secretary General at UN headquarters in New York, the spokesperson was asked whether the Secretary General would be open to encouraging direct negotiations, using as starting points the Palestinians' definition of what the appropriate border should be as one pole position and the borders set forth in President Trump’s plan as the other. The spokesperson would not answer the question, instead just saying that the UN has made calls for direct talks with the parties. When pressed to provide a more specific answer to the question, he responded, “I don't want to have to repeat what I've just said, so I won't.”
These non-answers demonstrate in a nutshell why the UN has long since lost its moral authority to act as an honest broker in direct negotiations between the Palestinians and Israel. The UN has become the Palestinians’ enabler, encouraging them yet again to miss an opportunity for genuine peace.
