The blasphemy of pay-as-you-pray; Federal appeals court strikes down parts of NY gun law...MORE

The blasphemy of pay-as-you-pray...National Cathedral of the Episcopal Church (the even woker, if t’were possible, estranged American child of the C of E) in Washington to charge $7 per person for attendance at their Christmas Eve Eucharist 

Payment for church services or to obtain ecclesiastical office is the sin of Simony (see Acts 8:9-23), in which the Grace of God is blasphemously treated as a commercial asset. To many, this criticism might seem unnecessary. Despite the Episcopal Church’s plunging overall attendance rates, the Cathedral Church of Sts Peter and Paul (or the ‘National Cathedral’) is the closest thing America has to Westminster Abbey or St Paul’s. The United States has a secular constitution, but the cathedral is the de facto presidential church, by tradition ‘anointing’ presidents the day after their swearing-in.

Federal appeals court strikes down parts of NY gun law A federal appeals court on Friday struck down parts of a New York gun control law that has been on the frontlines of Second Amendment legal battles following the Supreme Court’s landmark gun-rights expansion last year.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’s ruling blocks three provisions while upholding others previously found unconstitutional by lower courts.

Hamas 'beginning to break' as tense video shows IDF facing off with terrorists in ruins of Gaza City school  Dramatic footage released Friday showed Israel Defense Forces soldiers facing off against Hamas terrorists inside a school — as the country’s defense minister vowed that the group’s hold in the Gaza Strip is finally “beginning to break.”

Members of the elite LOTAR Unit, along with the 188th Armored Brigadee’s 74th Battalion, encountered a Hamas cell in the remains of a school building in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood, the Times of Israel reported.

IDF fighters appeared to pursue the terrorists through the building in a tense, bullet-ridden standoff, the IDF clips showed.

The Day The Empress' Clothes Fell Off...Did the Congressional hearings finally expose the scandal of the Ivy League? End DEI in its entirety. Fire all the administrators whose only job is to enforce its toxic orthodoxy. Admit students on academic merit alone. Save standardized testing — which in fact helps minorities, and it’s “the best way to distinguish smart poor kids from stupid rich kids,” as Steven Pinker said this week. Restore grading so that it actually means something again. Expel students who shut or shout down speech or deplatform speakers. Pay no attention to the race or sex or orientation or gender identity of your students, and see them as free human beings with open minds. Treat them equally as individuals seeking to learn, if you can remember such a concept.

No White Faculty Allowed...At the University of Washington, civil rights laws have not stopped blatant racial discrimination in faculty hiring  If, somehow, a committee still managed to hire white people or the wrong minorities, the manual suggests developing an audit process to identify criteria where “white candidates, male candidates . . . receive higher scores,” so that those criteria can be removed. Particularly, rigorous scientific practices like “publicly posting data, hypotheses and materials to guard against accusations of selectively reporting results or falsifying data” tends to “produce biased results”—namely, the hiring of white men. This was easily solved by “subsequently dropp[ing]” scientific rigor from “evaluation criterion” of candidate searches.

The University of Washington has apologized to the top-ranked white finalist who was denied a job in its most recent faculty search because of race. It also reports that it has taken as-yet undisclosed remedial actions and is updating institutional policies to “address areas where efforts to address bias may lead to violations of laws or policy.”

Exposing Covid-19 Crimes 

The Damage Is Done

Martin points out that even if they don’t unleash any other bioweapons, the desired death toll may still be achieved, because they used pseudouridine in the mRNA shots, which is causing “turbo cancers.”

Pseudouridine suppresses cancer-controlling agents and promotes oncogenic activity in the body, and this has been known since 2018, so its inclusion was hardly an accident.

The shots are also targeting reproduction, which is a key target if you want to depopulate. It’s not just infertility. Prostate, ovarian and uterine cancers make it more difficult to have sex, and hence more difficult to have children.

According to Martin, the evidence is clear. None of this is accidental. It’s a conspiracy, alright. But not a conspiracy theory in the dismissive sense. It’s a global conspiracy by identifiable agents who have, for nearly 60 years, plotted to commit, and profit from, the greatest genocide the world has ever seen, while hiding behind the false veneer of “public health.”
