TOP FOCUS

INDIA-PAKISTAN CONFLICT GOES FROM HOT TO WHITE HOT AFTER MISSILE STRIKE – India launched a missile strike into rival nation Pakistan, killing 31 people and injuring 57 others, Pakistan claims. The conflict is over the contested region of Kashmir that both countries claim as being rightfully theirs. Pakistan has called the attacks an “act of war” and has instructed its military to prepare to act in kind. Both nations have nuclear weapons, so the stakes for this potential conflict are near-catastrophic. Read the full blurb report

AFTER “FAR RIGHT” WIN SUPPRESSED BY EU, ROMANIA DELIVERS AN EVEN BIGGER “FAR RIGHT” VICTORY –  The current flag bearer of the de facto “Romania First” party, George Simeon, has finished first in the first round of Romania’s Presidential elections. He won the first round with 41% of the vote to second place Nicusor Dan. He finished with 21% of the total vote. Simeon appears set to win by an even bigger margin of victory than his party leader predecessor, Calin Georgescu, did in December of 2024. That election was cancelled by the EU, and Georgescu banned from running for public office. Read the full blurb report

MERZ FINALLY PREVAILS IN SECOND GERMAN PARLIAMENT VOTE  – After having failed an historic first vote to officially win Germany’s Chancellorship, Conservative leader Friedrich Merz finally secured the majority vote needed in the second round of voting.

In the first round of voting, Merz’ coalition of 328 failed to deliver the necessary 316 majority vote needed. He received only 310 votes. The historic first vote failure is seen as a sign that Merz will be beginning his chancellorship with a shaky coalition. Read the full blurb report

HOUTHIS CRY NO MAS TO U.S., BUT NOT TO ISRAEL – It appears the Houthis are done with Trump, or so they think. They’re hoping for a ceasefire that allows them to continue to fight Israel, even if it means no longer attacking ships going through the Red Sea.

Merz Finally Prevails in Second German Parliament Vote

pgnewser May 7, 2025

After having failed an historic first vote to officially win Germany’s Chancellorship, Conservative leader Friedrich Merz finally secured the majority vote needed in the second round of voting. In the first round of voting, Merz’ coalition of 328 failed to deliver the necessary 316 majority vote needed. He received only 310 votes. The historic first vote failure is seen as a sign that Merz will be beginning his chancellorship with a shaky coalition.

Conservative leader Merz overcomes historic defeat to become Germany’s chancellor – AP News
Source Link
Excerpt:

Conservative leader Friedrich Merz succeeded Tuesday in becoming Germany’s next chancellor, drawing applause and a palpable sense of relief in the parliament chamber after a historic loss in the first round of voting threatened the new government’s promises of stability.

No other postwar candidate for German chancellor has failed to win on the first ballot. The stunning but short-lived defeat sent shock waves throughout Europe and dragged down the stock market. The DAX, the index of major German companies, fell by 1.8% at one point.

The first round of voting, which was conducted by secret ballot, could affect Merz’s prospects for success and bring trouble to his coalition’s agenda, which includes reviving a stagnant economy and dealing with the rise of the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party.

Germany’s Friedrich Merz falls short in 1st vote for chancellor bid – National– globalnews.ca

Source Link
Excerpt:

In a historic first, conservative leader Friedrich Merz ’s bid to become Germany’s 10th chancellor since World War II failed by six votes in parliament on Tuesday, a stunning defeat as he had been widely expected to win smoothly.

A candidate for chancellor has never failed to win on the first ballot since the end of the war. The loss triggered a stock market slide: the DAX, the index of major German companies, was down 1.8 per cent following the vote.

Merz needed a majority of 316 out of 630 votes. He only received 310 votes — well short of the 328 seats held by his coalition, which is also one of the slimmest postwar majorities. Because the vote was held by secret ballot, it was not immediately clear — and might never be known — who had defected from Merz’s camp.

Merz’s coalition is led by his center-right Christian Democratic Union and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union. They are joined by the center-left Social Democrats, outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s party. The parties were now to regroup to discuss the next step but it was also unclear how long the process could take.

Excerpt:

The influential mayor of Tübingen, Boris Palmer, is harshly criticizing the Office of the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), the powerful German domestic spy agency, after it labeled the Alternative for Germany (AfD) a confirmed “right-wing extremist” party. The former Green Party politician, who won Tübingen despite switching to run as an independent, said the secret, 1,000-page report used to justify the AfD’s designation basically just listed public incidents already known to the media.

“Unless Der Spiegel is simply poorly informed, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution has compiled primarily what is publicly known,” wrote Palmer.

 

CAIN ARISEN: THE RISE OF THE VIOLENT “AMERICAN” LEFT – An MIA Report

pgnewser May 1, 2025

By Joshua Bontrager, Political & Cultural Correspondent

Originally published April 25, 2025 for our End-of-Month Issue of Mindful Intelligence Advisor.  Subscribe to get semi-monthly issues.

“… Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. The Lord said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.’ Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.” – Genesis 4:4-8

“Power depends ultimately on physical force. By teaching people that violence is wrong (except, of course, when the system itself uses violence via the police or the military), the system maintains its monopoly on physical force and thus keeps all power in its own hands.” –Theodore Kaczynski, “The Unabomber”

“It is a world not of angels but of angles, where men speak of moral principles but act on power principles; a world where we are always moral and our enemies always immoral.” –Saul Alinsky

“The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials has turned the left into a ticking time bomb.” –Charlie Kirk

“What was formerly taboo culturally has become acceptable.” –Joel Finkelstein on the rising “assassination culture”

ED.NOTE: The spirit of Cain is the root of all authoritarian ideologies, be it left, right, “Christian,” “Muslim,” etc. (which we’ll see in our report on the Igbo on pg. xx, in which a prosperous, righteous people are targeted for death by people less unrighteous and less prosperous than them).

It is the notion that you can kill your way to salvation, which is what, essentially, Cain was doing here. Abel brought the best of his “fruit,” his firstborn, while Cain brought the lowliest of sacrifices, one can assume. When Abel prospered through righteous action, Cain’s response was not to correct his own bad behavior, it was to kill the righteous Abel and usurp his place through murder.

The ”American” left justifies murder through a promise of a utopia here and now, that they can end racism and hate and bigotry and the patriarchy and the very idea of the “white race” itself. Wherever success is found, the answer is not to mimic it, it’s to murder it, to take its place through force.

This is why such movements appeal to the young, who are offered a moral justification to shortcut their way to the top, not through right action, but through murder. This report by Joshua Bontrager reveals the fruit of the spirit of Cain become the central driving force of the “American” left (which are no Americans, in spirit, at all). – Editor Paul Gordon Collier

INTRODUCTION

Alarmingly, a growing minority of leftist Americans believe that murdering their fellow Americans is both justifiable and necessary.

A shocking 55% of left-leaning Americans believe assassinating President Donald Trump would be “somewhat justified,” according to a bombshell survey from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI). 48% said the same of Elon Musk.

The “emergent assassination culture” is “grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,” according to the report.

The NCRI said the uptick in the legitimization of assassination and vandalism (i.e., Tesla burnings) began with the December 7 assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Following Thompson’s killing, leftists celebrated, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) saying, “People can be pushed only so far.”

Several months later, another unhinged radical murdered a California Walgreens employee.

Consider additional examples:

  • Ukrainian-linked Wisconsin teen Nikita Casapallegedly killed his parents to “obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary” to kill President Trump and overthrow the U.S. government.
  • The mentally ill Cody Balmer was arrested after setting the Pennsylvania Governor’s mansion on fire. Balmer had a criminal history, supported BLM, and targeted Gov. Josh Shapiro(D) “based upon perceived injustices to the people of Palestine.”
  • Muslim Aliakbar Mohammad Amin was arrested after threatening DNI Tulsi Gabbard and her husband with messages including this one: “Prepare to die, you, Tulsi, and everyone you hold dear. America will burn.”
  • Alabama manJacob Couch died after being violently attacked by a hatchet-wielding man in Tucson, Arizona.
  • A cult of transgender vegans called the Zizians has “been linked to a string of murders across the U.S.”
  • A Soros-funded Minnesota DA refused to charge a state employee who vandalized six Teslas, causing around $20,000 in damages.
  • Support for African American Karmelo Anthony surged after Anthony stabbed the white Austin Metcalf to death over a seating dispute at a Texas track meet.

This article will examine (1) The Austin Metcalf murder, (2) The disturbing history of left-wing violence, (3) The primary driving factors behind today’s alarming escalation, and (4) What this all means for America’s future.

A. LEFTISTS JUSTIFY AUSTIN METCALF MURDER

“But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam’s error and perished in Korah’s rebellion.” – Jude 1:10-11 (ESV)

“The comments on Karmelo Anthony’s fundraiser are truly horrifying. They make it very clear that these people don’t care whether he has a valid self-defense claim or not. They see Metcalf’s murder as an act of racial vengeance.” –Matt Walsh

On April 17, black 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony stabbed white 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death at a Frisco, Texas, track meet.

According to witnesses, the altercation began when Metcalf asked Anthony to leave his team’s tent. Anthony reached into his bag and warned, “Touch me and see what happens.”

From Human Events: “When Metcalf stood up and pushed him, Anthony pulled out a knife and drove it into Metcalf’s chest. He fled the scene as Austin collapsed, bleeding out in his brother’s arms. Later, when confronted by police, Anthony didn’t deny it. ‘I did it,’ he said. This wasn’t self-defense. It wasn’t a scuffle gone wrong. It was a boy bringing a weapon to a school event, threatening to use it, and then doing precisely that.”

  1. THE SHOCKING RESPONSE – Within hours, support from the black community and the far-left poured in:
  • Post on X (750,000 views): “Karmelo Anthony is an exceptional, upstanding, suburban, young teen boy. He is an honor roll student, works an honest job, and he’s a hero! If we allow them to paint this teenage boy as some Thug or reckless ‘YN,’ we failed, and no Black boy in America is safe!”
  • Post on X (330,000 views): “Kyle Rittenhouse can be 17 with an AR-15, Karmelo Anthony CAN’T be 17 with a knife. Make it make sense.”
  • Post on X (2.2 million views): “A suspected white supremacist named Austin Metcalf…allegedly demanded honor student Karmelo Anthony give up his seat – like it was the Jim Crow era. Karmelo defended himself from the alleged threat. The Daniel Penny case set this precedent.”
  • Viral video on X (5.2 million views):“Y’all not gonna make me believe or feel any kind of sympathy for Austin Metcalf at all… Austin Metcalf got exactly what he deserved – point blank, period… Austin Metcalf should’ve kept his d*mn hands to himself – point blank, period.”
  1. THE SAGA CONTINUES – Anthony was released from jail pending trial, after a judge lowered his bailfrom $1 million to $250,000.

As of this writing, Anthony’s family has raised $510,000 on GiveSendGo. They reportedly purchased a new car and moved to a $900,000 rental home in a gated community. Auron MacIntyre warned, “It turns out people respond to incentives. You will get more of this; people will celebrate it.”

Jeff Metcalf, father of the slain teen, was escorted out by police, after he showed up at a press conference held by Anthony’s friends and family members. Dominique Alexander, a convicted felon and spokesman for the Anthony family, claimed that Metcalf’s presence at the press conference was “a disrespect to the dignity of his son.”

Hours later, Metcalf’s home was swatted.

Anthony’s advocacy group said the teen was moved to an undisclosed location following “death threats” and harassment “fueled by organized hate, systemic racism, and intentional misinformation.”

Attorney Alan Dershowitz concluded, “If the racial factors were reversed, if a white man had killed an unarmed black man, everybody would be on the reverse side of this.”

B. THE TROUBLING HISTORY OF LEFT-WING TERROR

“Not a single problem of the class struggle has ever been solved in history except by violence. When violence is exercised by the working people, by the mass of exploited against the exploiters – then we are for it!” –Vladimir Lenin

Since Cain’s murder of Abel, violence has plagued the human race.

  1. ISLAMIC JIHAD – Muhammad boasted, “I have been made victorious through terror.”

J.J. Saunder’s History of the Mongol Conquests (1971) estimates that the 14th-century Muslim emperor Timur (Tamerlane) slaughtered 17 million, 5% of the global population at the time. At Delhi, Tamerlane wrote, “I proclaimed throughout the camp that every man who had infidel prisoners should put them to death… One hundred thousand infidels, impious idolaters, were on that day slain.”

Today, Hamas indoctrinates many Palestinian children from a young age to devote their lives to jihad against Jews and infidels. Parents, especially mothers, teach their children to view martyrdom in the “Holy War” as the ultimate honor.

  1. HITLER’S BROWN SHIRTS – Founded in 1921, the Sturmabteilung (SA), or Brownshirts, assisted Adolf Hitler’s rise to power by inciting riots, influencing elections, and attacking Jews and other “enemies of Germany.” When the Brownshirts threatened his power, Hitler purged their leadership in the Night of Long Knives (1934) and empowered the SS in their place.
  2. CHINA’S CULTURAL REVOLUTION – During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, police stood down, or even assisted, as Mao Zedong’s “Red Guard” units, many of them consisting of young students, brutally attacked “class enemies” and waged war on the “Four Olds” (old ideas, culture, customs, and habits).

A survivor of Mao’s Revolution, Xi Van Fleet, wrote the book Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning. Van Fleet explained, “Red guards were the kids from elementary school to universities. So they took over the country… He [Mao] had tens of millions of young people that he had indoctrinated in the government schools for the past 17 years… They dismantled the criminal justice system. No police, really, just like a defund police. So, the Red Guards could do anything. There are no consequences. And eventually, they start to kill. Kill their teachers, kill their principals, and they kill millions of people.”

  1. THE NEW LEFT – The New Left Wave of the 1960s and 70s produced assassinations, bombings, and kidnappings from groups such as the Italian Red Brigades, the German Red Army Faction, the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), and the U.S. Weather Underground.

In 1995, Weather Underground terrorist leader Bill Ayers helped launch the political career of Barack Obama.

  1. MARX AND STALIN – Karl Marx, whose ideology claimed over 100 million lives in the 20th century, asserted, “There is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror… We have no compassion, and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.”

One of his followers, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, slaughtered millions of his own people and callously declared, “Death solves all problems. No man – no problem.”

C. WHAT IS DRIVING TODAY’S ESCALATION?

“If you believe the president of the United States is leading a racist, fascist movement that threatens the rights, if not the lives, of vulnerable minorities, how far are you willing to go to stop it?” –The Atlantic’s Peter Beinart, 2017

Donald Trump’s surprise 2016 victory witnessed an increase in violent rhetoric and protest. After George Floyd’s death in 2020, BLM and Antifa rioted, clashed with police, and destroyed possibly billions in property, with no consequences.

In 2024, eight years of “Trump is Hitler” rhetoric prompted two attempted assassinations.

  1. INFLAMATORY MESSAGES – Through media, education, and social media, the left has consistently communicated two dangerous messages:
  • Trump and MAGA Republicans are “domestic terrorists,” fascist authoritarians, and racists.
  • Racial minorities, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and the poor are victims, and white, male, Christian capitalists are their oppressors.

Leftists incite violence but feign indignation (or even blame the victims of violence) when their brainwashed followers carry their propaganda to these logical conclusions:

  • If Trump and conservatives are as evil as Hitler, they should be “” As one crazed lunatic said, “The only good fascist is a dead fascist.”
  • If you are being oppressed and victimized, violence is justified to defeat the oppressor.
  • Those who seek to remove the threat are morally upright heroes. They should be praised, and protected by the law.

Consider several recent examples:

  • At the Coachella music festival, headlined by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Circle Jerks’ singer Keith Morris called for an “army of Luigis,” referring to Luigi Mangione.
  • Climate hoaxer and former Vice President Al Gore said the Trump administration is seeking to “create their own preferred version of reality,” just like Adolf Hitler.
  • Former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz gushed of Mangione, “You’re going to see women especially that feel like, ‘…Here’s this man who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart. He’s a person who seems like this morally good man, which is hard to find.’”
  • Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called Trump a racist and said, “We’re not going to negotiate with terrorists.”
  1. MENTAL AND PHYSICAL INSTABILITY – One researcher linked the surge in school shootings to the proliferation of SSRI drugs in the late 1980s, such as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, and Celexa, that “chemically alter” children’s minds. Dr. Joseph Mercola says mass shootings are likely “the result of how we’ve been mistreating mental illness, depression, and behavioral problems.” Mercola also faults the surge in violent video game simulations.

Others have cited family breakdown, social media radicalization, and transgender ideology (i.e., Audrey Hale).

  1. FAMILY BREAKDOWN – Harvard’s Robert J. Sampson stressed, “Family structure is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, predictor of variations in urban violence across cities in the United States.”
  2. A LACK OF CONSEQUENCES – Soros-funded district prosecutors and government educators have repeatedly failed to provide accountability.

An anonymous Texas school teacher wrote, “Students today know they can get away with almost anything. Last year, a 16-year-old student-athlete pushed me, cursed me out, and walked out of class. A few days later, I sat across from him in the assistant principal’s office. The assistant principal gave him candy and spoke to him like he was an upset eight-year-old. His father tried to blame me for the altercation. After a half-hearted apology, the young man was allowed to return to class without a disciplinary referral.”

The teacher warned, “Dangerous students remain in classrooms. Administrators hope for the best, while enforcing no real standards for the rest. Those who want to cause chaos will, and their peers will celebrate them for it… A culture that refuses to enforce consequences is a culture that enables tragedy.”

  1. THE EVIL RELIGION OF POWER – Much of the modern left – from party elites to the grassroots – openly worships evil. During the Biden reign of terror, Democrats mutilated children, facilitated an illegal invasion, locked up their political opponents, censored dissent, attacked Christianity, and nearly destroyed America.

Their continued embrace of this cult is proved by their passionate defense of MS-13 gang members like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, their urge to kidnap children whose parents oppose “gender-affirming care,” their endorsement of judicial sabotage, and their praise of cold-blooded murderers.

Libertarian analyst Brandon Smith explains, “Evil people define freedom without responsibility as the ultimate state of being… It’s no mistake that leftists and woke activists are obsessed with power dynamics; their new religion ensures that they cannot see the world any other way… They see moral order as an artificial construct that oppresses them (because they want to do evil without consequence)… Leftists are TOTAL relativists. The rules do not apply to them. The law does not apply to them. Morality does not apply to them. Conscience is non-existent for them… Biological reality does not apply to them… They want to be like God; all who try to stop them should be eliminated… When a person adopts all of these beliefs together, they are capable of any conceivable atrocity.”

This false religion traces back to the devil’s bargain in Eden, “You will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5).

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” – John 10:10

“By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks.” – Hebrews 11:4

More Americans will follow the example of Karmelo Anthony, Lugi Mangione, and Nikita Casap, driven by Marxist brainwashing, mental instability, little accountability, and Satanic delusion.

The American “center-left” has been virtually captured by Luciferian Marxists who cannot be reasoned with, applaud violence, hate America, and remain an existential enemy of freedom. They must be denied all political power.

For the country to survive, the Trump administration must deport illegals (even if that means defying rogue courts and suspending Habeas Corpus), convict the perpetrators and funders of violence, expose the Democrats who side with assassins and illegals, and bring to justice the Deep Staters who tried to stop Trump and destroy America over the past eight years.

Without extraordinary measures, the country is lost. Yet…emergency measures risk imperiling American freedom. Citizens must remain both courageous and vigilant.

Ultimately, today’s terror reflects the depravity of a world lost in sin. It can be traced back to America’s rejection of God’s wisdom and authority over the past 100 years, but especially since the 1960s. To quote Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”

Our country will only continue its descent into tyranny and corruption, unless we repent.

True repentance must include family restoration, as parents seek to build committed, God-centered marriages and reclaim responsibility for the education, discipleship, and health of their own children.

Isaiah 55:6-7 declares, “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”

Genuine, Christ-centered revival remains the only hope for America. That does not start in D.C.; it begins in your own heart (2 Chronicles 7:14).

THE IGBO: A PEOPLE OF FAITH UNDER ATTACK – an MIA Report

pgnewser May 1, 2025

“My parents lost everything, all their savings, because we had to run from the Nigerian side to the Biafran side. We were Igbos.” –Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

“I am hearing a more resounding voice in the spirit saying, God is changing the guard in the Nigerian church.” –Sunday Adelaja

INTRODUCTION

Nigeria happens to be the most populated country in Africa, with 237.5 million citizens, making it the 6th most populous country in the world. Nigeria is the home of an ethnic group called the Igbo, who collectively adopted Christianity. They have become both the greatest success story in Nigeria and the most persecuted people as well.

The Igbo are currently facing a growing threat from violent Islamists who seek to make Nigeria a Sharia country, a country controlled by Islamic law, which is decidedly intolerant of others’ beliefs, including many Muslims and certainly ALL Christians.

Our publisher, Bill Collier, is currently working on an exclusive report on the plight of the Igbos in the Plateau State that will include on-the-ground interviews and, hopefully, pictures.

This report will give you the background information on the targets of these Plateau State assaults, the Igbo. It will culminate with a Palm Sunday massacre that happened this April 2025.

The plight of the Igbo has long been ignored, even by American Christian media. We hope to give voice to our brothers and sisters in Christ and attention to the rest of the world about the plight the Igbo currently face.

A. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE IGBO

The Igbo people live primarily in southeastern Nigeria, especially in the states of Anambra, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, and Enugu. It is estimated that the Igbo comprise about 15% of the Nigerian population, or 35 million people. 98% of the Igbo identify as Christian, though some suggest it’s near total.

They are one of the largest ethnic groups in all of Africa yet in the West, barely a whisper is spoken about them.

This writer suspects the reason they get so little coverage in the West is because of how they embraced Christianity, made it their own, and, through that, became the most professional and prosperous people of integrity in Nigeria, whose success ultimately led to their persecution.

Nigeria has two major religions showing the direct fruit of their beliefs side by side: Islam and Christianity. The Christians flourish and raise professional men and women of integrity, while the Muslims continue to raise killers, thugs, and men who think they’re entitled to murder the unbeliever. It’s black-on-black crime, so to speak, with the Muslims committing the lion’s share of that crime.

It’s a stunning rebuke of the way of Islam, a dear ally of the perverse left still infecting American institutions with its criminal insanity (something it shares in common with its Muslim allies, which explains, in part, their alliance).

  1. FROM THE BEGINNING TO PRE-COLONIAL – The Igbo people can trace their heritage back over 5,000 years, with archeological evidence showing they have lived in the southeastern region of Nigeria the whole time.

Their prehistory continues until their colonialization in the early-19th century. During this long period of time, the Igbo entered the bronze age at least by the 9th Century AD. Their culture, judging from the archeological findings, was highly sophisticated, though they lacked a written language.

The region was not dominated by kingdoms; rather, it seems to have been comprised of numerous decentralized village councils divided by age groups, with decisions being made through consensus, not voting. Women also held strong positions in their societies.

“The Igbo had no kings or chiefs in the traditional sense; their society was acephalous, with authority distributed among village assemblies.” –Chinua Achebe, There Was a Country, 2012.

Their religion was polytheistic, with Chukwu being the supreme deity of their pantheon. The religious leaders had a major role in society, conducting rituals for safe being and oracle services, which included conflict resolution and governance.

The practices of the Igbo could warrant its own report, as so much of their customs and beliefs aligned very well with the Christian gospel (though not completely).

Their method of retaining humility and holiness among the people by requiring every person to submit to a designated person while also having a person that must submit to them fits very well with the servant-leader example Christ served us when he walked the earth. It certainly echoes with Christ’s teaching, “…the last will be first, and the first last.” (Mat.20:16 ESV)

When the white man arrived, the Igbo were well-ready to take advantage of what Western culture gave them, while holding on to their own pre-colonial identity, thanks largely to their Christian faith (though some, a very small minority regularly feted by the Western press, would disagree with this assessment).

Their customs, their ways, largely overlapped with the gospel.

  1. CHRISTIANIZATION AND BRITISH RULE – Before the British arrived, missionaries got there first, preaching the gospel and providing free education to the natives. One anecdotal story shared by an Igbo man with my brother, Bill Collier, tells of the Igbo first hearing about the God of the Bible, the triune God who gave his only son so that whosoever believes in him will have eternal life. He told Bill the people recognized God as the more complete version of their own god(s).

Their first reaction was that their own beliefs seemed to be shadows of the true gospel. By the time the British arrived in the 1850s, 60% of the Igbo were already identifying as Christians. Some attribute this remarkably rapid conversion to their recognition of the social advantage of adopting the white man’s religion (namely free education), though the people are now more fully Christian than they were under the white man’s thumb.

When the British moved in, one of the most disrupting things they did was assign warrant chiefs to the Igbo, which disrupted their centuries-old method of consensual governance through age-divided village councils. This led to the Aba Women’s riot in 1929, where Igbo women led protests against the governance-breaking imposition of warrant chiefs, as well as against British taxes.

It seems Christ has raised a people aware of their own innate value as children in the image of God, priests and kings in the new Kingdom.

On October 1, 1960, the Nigerians finally gained their independence from the British after two decades of “constitutional reforms” that, according to the Nigerians, still didn’t go far enough in both restoring self-rule and, for the Igbo, allowing them to practice their centuries-long governance traditions.

  1. THE BIAFRA WAR – This period of Igbo history (1967-1970) could also warrant its own report. It was set off by an Igbo-led coup, then followed up with anti-Igbo pogroms, which claimed the lives of up to 50,000 Igbo.

This round of violence ended with the creation of an Igbo-centered nation, Biafra. The 3-year war was the Empire striking back, as Biafra was re-absorbed into Nigeria proper, shackled to a partner that wants them dead for worshiping Christ; That same partner CANNOT afford to outright genocide them because they are a major part of the Nigerian economic engine.

Christian persecution was high during this time, but war and famine killed far more, with up to 3 million Igbo dying during the war.

  1. POST-WAR TO PRESENT – While the Igbo lost, their Christian identity was cemented during this time, an identity still just as strong today. The post-war reality is a world that sets quotas to ensure there are never too many Igbo in positions of power. They are derisively referred to as the Jews of Nigeria.

The one major difference between them and their neighbors is their commitment to teaching and living the gospel in their lives. They are a scripted people, a people raised in a shared book, the book of books, through which God promises us, “The unfolding of your words gives light, it imparts understanding to the simple.” (Psalm 119:130)

This means a scripted people, be they “advanced” or “simple” will soon follow the same pattern as the Igbo did as they became, more and more, a scripted people, a people of the book.

“Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments. Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in your word. I know, O Lord , that your rules are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.” – Psalm 119:73-75 (ESV)

The Indigenization Decree of 1972 also effectively prevents the Igbo from accessing capital in the country, as their western and northern neighbors are given preferred status.

Starting in 2015, another ethnic group, the Muslim Fulani, began to slaughter Igbo Christians where they could, including the Ebonyi massacre that saw 100-plus Igbo killed.

“Igbo Nigerians have been tacitly targeted by the Fulani Muslims because of their ethnicity and Christian faith.” –Mario Alexis Portella

B. THE CURRENT CONDITIONS

Since 2000, over 62,000 Christian Igbos have been killed by Islamists. Those attacks have only been increasing. Their trust in the federal government is near-zero, as they have been largely disenfranchised by it. Their inability to be their own nation limits their ability to defend themselves against armed militants, knowing full well the government will do little to find the killers and bring them to justice.

In addition to the Fulani, they must now also contend with the newly arrived Boko Haram.

  1. VIOLENCE AGAINST CHRISTIANS – At first, the Igbo only had to contend with the Islamist Fulani; then Boko Haram started kidnapping and killing their daughters. Now, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has joined in on the assaults.

They all have two things in common: they hate the Igbo and they hate Christianity (though this writer believes the hatred of the Igbo is DUE to their Christian heritage and continued beliefs).

The World Watch List by Open Doors has Nigeria at 6th for the world’s worst countries for Christian persecution, pointing out the fact that, according to Intersociety data in 2023, “Nigeria accounts for 89% of Christians martyred worldwide. The Intersociety report confirms that Nigeria has become one of the most dangerous places to live for Christians in Africa.”

The bulk of those deaths are the Igbo, the most persecuted Christians on the planet today.

  1. THE IGBO CONDITION – The Igbo people are estimated to be around 30 million today, though a 2006 Nigerian census lists them at 21 million. Some estimates go as high as 35 million, assuming they were initially under-counted and thus population growth proportionally could make that number higher.

They are at least 98% Christian, with Catholics and Protestants both having sizeable representations.

Despite the handicaps placed on them by the government, the Igbo are still a more prosperous people than their Muslim neighbors, excelling in entrepreneurship and achieving high levels of education. Their very existence as non-white Christians, in contrast to non-white Muslims, serves as a threat to race-baiting, Islam-promoting, anti-Christian demonizing narratives.

  1. GEOGRAPHIC TARGETS – Nigeria is divided into 36 states. 12 of the 36 states have implemented Sharia, Islamic Law, making it illegal for Christians to openly practice their faith in these states. The violence against Christians has largely been confined to those states until relatively recently, when the targets expanded to the region called the Middle Belt, which includes the Plateau State now currently under attack. You can read about these attacks in the next issue of MIA (May 16, 2025).

Recently, these attacks have pierced Igbo-dominated states like Enugu, Anambra, and Imo. Christians are kidnapped, churches are burned, and Christians are slaughtered, often at church.

  1. THE ATTACKERS – Rising “stars” in the evangelicalism-through-slaughter Islamist community, Boko Haram and ISWAP, have accounted for over 10,000 Christian deaths since 2009. These groups exclusively kill Christians.

The Fulani are Islamists, but some of their disputes are land-based, and date back to before Islam and Christianity arrived. Still, the Fulani use Islam as the primary justification for murdering Igbo Christians. The Fulani are herdsmen who have long battled the farmers, who are now largely Igbo.

“The anti-Christian butcheries in Nigeria have been investigated and found to be perpetrated mainly by Jihadist Fulani herdsmen and their mercenaries.” –Emeka Umeagbalasi, Intersociety, May 4, 2022.

While the ultimate goal of the Fulani is simply to take land, their embrace of Islam has emboldened them to more aggressively assault the Igbo than they had in the past.

“Violence between herders and farming communities has spread from the central belt southwards, and there are other long-running disputes in the Niger Delta and the south-east.” –House of Commons Library, February 1, 2024.

  1. GOVERNMENT RESPONSE – Section 38 of Nigeria’s constitution guarantees the freedom of religion, but that clause in the constitution is minimally enforced. A U.S. State Department report on religious freedom in Nigeria claims the government has taken some measures to check Boko Haram and ISWAP, but little to no effort has been made to check the Fulani.

In 2022, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria felt so insecure they made a statement about it:

“Escalating Insecurity in our Country and the sub-region Insecurity has remained a persisting problem in our country as insurgents, herdsmen militia, bandits, and the so-called unknown gunmen have continued to unleash terror in different parts of the country.” –Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, 2022 Statement on Insecurity

A 2023 USCIRF (United States Commission on International Religious Freedom) report puts Nigeria in the category of “Country of Particular Concern” due to its “systemic” religious freedom violations and the government’s inaction against those who persecute Christians.

“Despite several military operations, the government’s response to violence against Christians, including in the southeast, remains insufficient, leaving communities vulnerable.” –USCIRF, 2023 Annual Report

C. THE PALM SUNDAY MASSACRE

On April 13, 2025, Christians in a small community in the Plateau State of Nigeria were preparing to celebrate Palm Sunday, a commemoration of the day Christ entered Jerusalem a week before his execution. He was celebrated as a King, only to be condemned as a heretic a week later. It sets off the most important time of the year for Christians, Passion Week.

On this holy day, Islamists entered their community and began their assault.

The Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu, said of the attacks, “I have instructed security agencies to thoroughly investigate this crisis and identify those responsible for orchestrating these violent acts,” similar words to those spoken in the past, none of which materialized in any significant way.

It is reported the killers were Fulani herders, targeting a Christian farming community. The Fulani are also accused of killing 1,336 people in the Plateau State between December 2023 and February 2024. Leading up to this slaughter, and including it, the Fulani have killed at least 126 people since March 27 of this same year.

Their target was the Zike community, an Igbo farming community. Armed men looted and destroyed homes, with over 300 homes reported destroyed and at least 56 people slaughtered. More than 3,000 people were displaced by the violence.

The ongoing assault on the Plateau State will be reported on by publisher Bill Collier in the May 16, 2025 edition of MIA.

SUMMARY

The Firearms Act of 1959 is the bedrock of gun control laws in Nigeria. It requires a person to get a license to own a gun which must be approved by the President or the Inspector General of the Police. Reasons for disapproval include “intemperate habits.”

If you follow the law, getting a gun in Nigeria is difficult, though not impossible. If you want to own a personal firearm, your choices are severely limited, assuming you get a license in the first place.

While Nigeria has some of the strictest gun control laws in Africa, they also account for 70% of the illegal gun trade in West Africa, meaning the illegally-minded can get guns a lot easier than the legally-minded can, the Igbo.

They are, essentially, unarmed by a government that refuses to protect them.

If they turn to the illegal gun trade, they invite a whole new war on their heads at a time when they have little to no defense against government invasion, should it come to that. They are unarmed for all practical purposes, unable to defend themselves against invaders who fear no law, for the government continues to look the other way.

If we could get 30 million Igbo Christians to America, our nation, and then the world, would be a better place for it. They have the spirit of liberty in Christ that makes them tailor-fit for an Americanist lifestyle, where individuals are assumed made in the image of God, held accountable ultimately by God, in the end, not men.

Short of that, this writer cannot help but hope the Igbo can find a way to defend themselves without inviting government invasion and a repeat of the horrors of the Biafra War, which still holds a pall and a hope over the people today.

“I was born in 1966, at the beginning of the Biafran-Nigerian Civil War, and the war ended after three years. And I was growing up in school, and the federal government didn’t want us taught about the history of the war, because they thought it probably would make us generate a new generation of rebels.” –Chris Abani

FINAL THOUGHT: IF SCIENCE WERE A GOD – An MIA Editorial

pgnewser April 30, 2025

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

Originally published April 25, 2025 for our End-of-Month Issue of Mindful Intelligence Advisor.  Subscribe to get semi-monthly issues.

“‘Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.’ They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. I said, ‘You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.’” –Psalm 82:3-7

“Why should a change of paradigm be called a revolution? In the face of the vast and essential differences between political and scientific development, what parallelism can justify the metaphor that finds revolutions in both? … Political revolutions are inaugurated by a growing sense, often restricted to a segment of the political community, that existing institutions have ceased to adequately meet the problems posed by an environment that they have in part created… In both political and scientific development, the sense of malfunction that can lead to crisis is prerequisite to revolution.”

–Thomas S. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

A news item written up in scienceblog.com titled “Conservative Americans Consistently Distrust Science” serves as an example of agit prop worth considering for its effectiveness. This type of agit prop could easily be called “the banality of evil” agit prop.

If you examine the site, you will find no headline screams that this is an overt agit prop site. The articles posted are attributed to various universities. This one is attributed to the University of Amsterdam.

Outside of one article assuming “Climate Change” (man-made climate change that will existentially alter the planet) is an established fact, the other articles are agit prop neutral.

You have to read past the headline and the anon author credit, “Amsterdam University,” to figure out where the subterfuge in this article begins.

If you actually read the article, you will realize the agit prop began with the source of the article itself, the University of Amsterdam, the institution that conducted the “study” showing American conservatives are growing more and more skeptical of science. They are becoming near-lost science-skeptics.

Bastiaan Rutjens, one of the researchers, said, “In America, but also in other countries, conservatives generally have lower trust in science. Since the 1980s, trust of science among conservatives in America has even been plummeting.”

The anon behind the words wrote, “While past research has documented conservative skepticism toward science that conflicts with political or religious beliefs – such as climate change or evolution – this new study reveals that the trust gap extends far beyond ideologically charged topics.”

The conservative is doubting science itself, no matter what the science is addressing. This is what the anon behind the words would have you believe. Yet, the “science” is never defined. Is it the scientific institutions? Is it the scientific method?

The closest they get to recognizing the difference between institution and method is when they quote that same researcher, Rutjens, who said, “Science is also increasingly dismissed in some circles as a ‘leftist hobby,’ and universities as strongholds of the leftist establishment.”

Outside of that, they continue to simply use the word science as the thing conservatives are rejecting, accusing them of suffering increasingly from “science skepticism.”

“Evil comes from a failure to think. It defies thought, for as soon as thought tries to engage itself with evil and examine the premises and principles from which it originates, it is frustrated because it finds nothing there. That is the banality of evil.” –Hanna Arendt

Hanna Arendt addressed “the banality of evil” through the person of Adolf Eichmann, who was on a train to Jerusalem, where he would be held accountable for his crimes. She noted that he was not a cartoon villain; he looked perfectly banal.

He was the paradigmatic representative of this “banality of evil,” a man who presupposed the world through a lens of “evil” where logic and reason, and even the scientific method, can serve the Reich, where truth dies unless it can calculate missile trajectories.

This, I think, is a spirit that also captures this study’s “findings.” It also describes the underlying spirit, the banality of evil, behind the method this article utilizes to spread a dangerous lie, that conservatives are afraid of truth.

We must reach them with our truth (if we can, and we might not be able to). Science is truth.

The sales pitch, that conservatives are near-allergic to truth in a near-un-restorative way, is not expressed so directly as to obviously appear evil. To assume a whole group of people who fit into a certain belief system are nearly unredeemable is one thing; to also portray them as being a significant barrier to saving the planet would OBVIOUSLY be an evil, dangerous thought. They are unredeemable obstacles to our “salvation.”

But this message is delivered in a “neutral” language game, “the study” language game, that relies on the audience assuming this is truly “science,” determining a whole people are a threat to the planet by merely continuing to exist.

It’s almost as if “the science” allows these partisan militants to cloak their evil in BANALITY, something “the science” has been able to do throughout human history, including justifying slavery and the Holocaust.

Let’s walk this out a little more to make our point…

What does one do when one has a whole class of people who seem to be practically INCAPABLE of facing real truth? What does one do when one has a whole class of TRUTH DENIERS when the world is in danger of being KILLED?!

One hopes you can read where this line of reasoning leads, it leads to the logical and reasonable and even science-based assumption that “something must be done” to rid us of this “conservative problem.”

At least with Cain, the first authoritarian, he openly murdered Abel. He was only shamed by fear of being killed, not the remorse of murdering his brother. These Cains cast their dirty work on others, the tender minds who will eventually get this “study” delivered to them by charismatic “thought leaders” on social media, like Destiny and Hasan Piker (more on that later).

It will go something like this; In the perfectly innocent interest of saving the planet, “scientists” might one day help the world solve the “conservative problem.” Perhaps it will be a Solution that will end all other solutions for good. It seems like a perfectly banal conclusion to matter-of-factly make, come what may.

As Rutjens laments the severity of the problem (of reaching conservatives with “science,” aka “truth”), he remains “hopeful.” He declares, “This does not mean it is impossible, but these short interventions do not work to make science more transparent and reliable for certain groups. We need stronger interventions that make science truly personal. What can science contribute to your life, here and now?”

If this doesn’t tell you that Rutjens is an evangelical scientist, nothing else will. He practically sounds like a Pastor trying to rally his youth pastors to “GET OUT THERE AND PREACH THE SCIENCE!”

But what do you do when your god tells you things need to change to save the planet (and hopefully also humanity), but certain humans won’t go along with the plan, no matter how HARD you “reason” with them? You send out a signal to begin those “stronger interventions.”

This site serves as an academic “signal” to the DNC-allied media to feature stories highlighting conservatives rejecting “science” as a means of further demonizing the non-DNC person, the “other.”

Then, they can keep quoting this scientific study that determined that this fact, that conservatives seem almost biologically allergic to truth, is, in fact, a fact.

It will also be grist for the mill of DNC online Molotov cocktail throwers like Destiny and Hasan Piker, who will cite this “study” as “proof” “conservatives” (anyone not them) hate truth, and there’s LITTLE that can be done about it. WE MUST HAVE A VIOLENT SOLUTION! (And both of them are already doing this anyway).

The intent of the signal is to keep the assault on the non-left going as a means of disrupting and discouraging, as a means of CONTROL. The heart of the problem this piece is addressing is control, or the lack thereof.

They somewhat give up the game when the anon behind the words writes, “The persistence of this distrust poses significant challenges for addressing major societal problems that require scientific solutions, such as pandemics and climate change. When people distrust scientists, they’re less likely to accept scientific recommendations or support policies based on scientific evidence.”

“Major societal problems” that “REQUIRE” nothing else but “scientific solutions” make science seem like something nothing short of a god, especially when you consider this same “science” is now trying to deny basic human biology, that males are men and females are women and the outliers do not justify adding new categories to those terms (or detaching “gender” from “sexuality”).

“Science” is always the people and institutions that fund the “science,” the people that select the researchers that get funded, the people that pass the future researchers (the college professors), and finally and lastly, the researchers themselves.

This is how “science” is gatekept. These gatekeepers ensure only orthodox thinkers with preferred identities get through, get funded, and get tenured.

Under the current “science” regime, this gatekeeping has gotten even more intolerant of true “diversity,” diversity of thought, ESPECIALLY “conservative” thought (like a man is a male, which is apparently now a “conservative” belief).

The gatekeepers allow an increasingly narrower range of acceptable beliefs among its researchers. The questions one can even ask are less and less, and the questions getting funded are mostly intended to produce the orthodox narrative’s preferred result(s).

Perhaps if you asked conservatives simply if they believe in the scientific method, you might get a better response. This writer assumes the leftist would be more inclined to trust “the science” than they would to trust the “scientific method.” The reverse is most likely true if you ask the conservative the same two questions.

Perhaps if you asked conservatives if they believe science can be our source for determining the “oughtness” in our lives, the source of value, ethics, morality, you might also learn of the source in the increasing “skepticism” in “science,” its continued and increasing claims it can be such a source, THE SOURCE for human value itself.

You will find the left is far more inclined to believe this logical impossibility than “conservatives” are (or really anyone not leftist).

As “science” increasingly excludes non-leftist thought in its institutions and continues to allow these institutions to become more about narrative than fact (“lived experience” than hard data), anyone willing to face REAL TRUTH will become increasingly skeptical of “science.”

“Almost always, the men who achieve these fundamental inventions of a new paradigm have been either very young or very new to the field whose paradigm they change. And perhaps that point need not have been made explicit, for obviously, these are the men who, being little committed by prior practice to the traditional rules of normal science, are particularly likely to see that those rules no longer define a playable game and to conceive another set that can replace them.” –Thomas S. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

The new people that were ushered in, partly through DEI and other identity-filtering selection systems, have been devising ways to ensure they shut the door behind them so that what they did to the old white cis men that came before them doesn’t happen to them as well.

As these “conservatives” continue to see this happening before their very eyes, this writer believes these “conservatives” will only INCREASE their rejection of “science as god,” and their god, like men, will also die.

“… a new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.” -Max Planck, from his Scientific Autobiography.

Soon, the paradigm the “science” is now locked in, the paradigm of standpoint epistemology (“lived truth” valued according to the race, gender, sex, and belief of the individual, not the merits of their claims), will be pushed aside by whatever bursts through to replace it.

The “new generation” has already slipped into “old generation” status. The coup is already afoot.

Let us hope their replacements are not activists, like them, but scientists, true courageous pursuers of “truth” grounded in the understanding of the limitations of knowing and the limits of science to presume it could justify organizing humans according to whatever universal “good” it might claim it can scientifically “discover.”

On the surface, this is a reasonable article. It even offers SOME HOPE to the reasonable world that SOME of the conservatives MIGHT be saved from their own ignorance, if they just figure out how to show these truth-allergic conservatives how SCIENCE HELPS THEIR LIVES.

Conservatives clearly don’t know science delivered them their iPhones, clearly.

Underneath, Rutjens gives it a human face, but one protected by the label “researcher,” just a “neutral observer” reporting the facts and drawing logical conclusions. Rutjens is just a banal man reporting banal facts, really…

The heavy lifting, though, is done by anon behind the words, whose very title choice alone will reinforce in those who already hate the non-left that sub-humanizing these “others” more is not only ok, but it’s also morally essential to do so. After all, they simply can’t be reached.

If they read it, it will be worse. If they have the intelligence to remember particular facts, like the name of the researcher and the university, it will be like a bomb thrown into a theater full of already-raging leftists (the types of bombs agitators like Destiny and Hasan Piker regularly throw into their own livestreaming audiences).

However, an agit prop bomb like this, veiled in banality and goodwill, is absorbed in the bodies of the audience members, only to be released later, in some way, when they come upon “the other,” the “conservative,” and they have a chance to hurt them.

It would be morally wrong not to punish the blasphemer of the holy god, “the science,” after all.

A. DC

  1. TRUMP ADMIN UPDATES COVID.GOV TO REVEAL TRUE ORIGINS OF COVID – The Biden-era covid.gov website now redirects to a site titled “LAB LEAK: The true origins of COVID-19.” The page criticizes the EcoHealth Alliance’s gain-of-function research and faults Dr. Anthony Fauci and others who claimed COVID-19 did not leak from the Wuhan lab. The website stresses, “The WHO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic was an abject failure because it caved to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed China’s political interests ahead of its international duties…”
  2. RFK JR. BANS ARTIFICIAL FOOD DYES – HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA chief  Dr. Marty Makary said the FDA will phase out petroleum-based dyes in U.S. food and medications. Kennedy said, “[When] my uncle was president, 3% of American kids had chronic disease. Today it’s around 60%. If they [food companies] want to be eating petroleum, they can add it themselves at home…”
  3. U.S. HOUSE PASSES BILL TO REIN IN ROGUE JUDGES – The U.S. House voted  219-213to pass the No Rogue Rulings Act to restrict the ability of individual judges to issue nationwide injunctions. Bill sponsor Rep. Darrell Isa (R-CA) stated, “Since President Trump has returned to office, left-leaning activists have cooperated with ideological judges who they have sought out to take their cases and weaponize nationwide injunctions to stall dozens of lawful executive actions and initiatives. These sweeping injunctions represent judicial activism at the worst.”
  4. NOTE: Be sure to read the May 30 issue of MIA where Joshua Bontrager will continue his investigative series on JUDGEFARE (barring major breaking news).
  5. RUBIO SHUTTERS CENSORSHIP AGENCY – Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the $50 million Biden-era Global Engagement Center has officially been shut down. Rubio explained, “If citizens need the government to step in and tell them what is disinformation and what isn’t, then power doesn’t rest with the people at all – it rests instead with the people who write the propaganda telling the public what to believe.”
  6. RUBIO TRIMS STATE DEPARTMENT – Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reducing offices from 734 to 602, and moving to cut 15% of agency staff. Rubio stated, “The sprawling bureaucracy created a system more beholden to radical political ideology than advancing America’s core national interests. That is why today I am announcing a comprehensive reorganization plan that will bring the Department into the 21st Century.”
  7. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PARTNERS WITH HILLSDALE AHEAD OF AMERICA’S 250TH ANNIVERSARY – The Trump White House has partnered with Hillsdale College to release a history video series called “The Story of America.” The series highlights “the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.”

Watch the first two videos here.

  1. NEW POLL FINDS COLLEGE-AGED YOUTH LEAN REPUBLICAN – While young people aged 22 to 29 lean Democrat by 6.4 points, youth aged 18 to 21 lean Republican by 11.7 points, according to the Yale Youth Poll. Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk stated, “The latest Yale Youth Poll confirms the trend we’ve seen at one campus after another: The youngest voters have turned sharply to the right… The most dramatic generational political swing in history is unfolding before our eyes.

B. STATES

  1. AMISH REBUILD NORTH CAROLINA – For six months, 2,000 Pennsylvania Amish have worked to rebuild homes, businesses, and bridges in Chimney Rock, North Carolina, a town ravaged by Hurricane Helene. Amish volunteer Amanda Zook said, “We wanted to help the people with the disaster. Our hearts just felt drawn to come help the people in this area. It’s just inspiring to me to see how people can pull together, work together, and get something done.”
  2. ARKANSAS BRINGS TEN COMMANDMENTS BACK TO SCHOOLS – Arkansas passed a new law requiring government buildings and schools to display the Ten Commandments and the national motto. “You cannot separate the history of our nation and the development of moral law and the Ten Commandments, nor should we,” explained bill sponsor state Rep. Alyssa Brown (R).
  3. ARKANSAS LEGALIZES GOLD AND SILVER FOR TRANSACTIONS – Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) signed a law making the state the first in the nation to allow local governments to receive payment in gold and silver. Former Arkansas State Senator Jason Rapert (R) said, “We encourage all state legislators and federal elected officials to study this issue and seek approval in every state in the nation.”
  4. ALABAMA AFFIRMS GOLD AND SILVER AS LEGAL TENDER – The Alabama Legal Tender Act recognizes “any refined gold or silver bullion, specie, or coin that has been stamped, marked, or imprinted with its weight and purity” as legal tender in the state. Following the bill’s unanimous passage, State Sen. Tim Melson (R) said, “This bill upholds their constitutional status and supports sound money for our citizens across the state.”
  5. IOWA ALLOWS 18-YEAR-OLDS TO CARRY HANDGUNS – Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) signed a law allowing 18-year-olds to own and carry handguns. State Rep. Steven Holt (R) said, “I joined the Marines when I was 18, I graduated from boot camp when I was 18. I was carrying firearms in the military, ready to defend my country when I was 18, along with hundreds of thousands of other young men and women.”

C. INTERNATIONAL

  1. KLAUS SCHWAB OUT AT THE WEF – Arch-globalist Klaus Schwab officially resigned as World Economic Forum Chairman, one day after the WEF launched an investigation into Schwab for allegedly misusing WEF funds and mistreating employees. The Sociable’s Tim Hinchliffe warned that the WEF will “continue to push for the totaltechnocratic takeoverof society.”

Professor Michael Rectenwald said, “He [Schwab] saw himself as deciding the future for all of humanity. Thus, he will go down in history as one of the most arrogant globalists ever to live.”

  1. HUNGARY BANS PRIDE PARADES – The Hungarian parliament overwhelmingly passed a law banning pride parades in the nation and affirming the existence of only two biological genders. PM Viktor Orban declared, “We’re protecting children’s development, affirming that a person is born either male or female, and standing firm against drugs and foreign interference. In Hungary, common sense matters.”
  2. EL SALVADOR NOW SAFER THAN MOST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES – In just ten years, El Salvador has gone from being the most violent country in the Western Hemisphere to safer than France, Germany, the UK, Sweden, and Spain. The U.S. State Department now lists the country as Level 1 for travel. The New American noted, “In 2024, the Gallup Global Safety report listed El Salvador in its top 10 countries ‘where people feel safest when walking alone’: 88% of those polled said they felt safe.”
  3. ECUADOR REELECTS CONSERVATIVE PRESIDENT – President Daniel Noboa won reelection with over 55% of the vote. Noboa, whose top priority has been reducing crime, said, “Ecuador is changing…and that path will mean our children will live better lives than we did.”

D. FAITH

  1. TRUMP AFFIRMS JESUS CHRIST AHEAD OF EASTER – In an official Presidential message, President Trump said, “We acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday cannot come without the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross… Through His suffering, we have redemption. Through His death, we are forgiven of our sins. Through His Resurrection, we have hope of eternal life. On Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and light prevails over darkness – signaling that death does not have the final word… We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our beloved Nation…”

One Trump official added, “Under President Trump, there will never be a ‘trans visibility month’ – and on Easter, we will be celebrating Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.”

  1. WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY PRAYS BEFORE BRIEFING – Ahead of a press conference, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt prayed, “Lord Jesus, please give us the strength, the knowledge, the ability to articulate our words, have fun, and be confident. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” At 27, Leavitt is the youngest press secretary in American history.
  2. FLORIDA STATE REP. CALLS TO PROTECT CHILDREN – Florida State Rep. Taylor Yarkosky (R) said, “I look back when I was a child growing up in the 80s in Iowa, what was the reason why we didn’t have all this [sexual materials in schools]? I’ll tell you what it was: because God was first and foremost and primary in every single thing that we did. The nuclear family was strong, and it governed this stuff.”

Yarkosky continued, “Over the course of the last 30, 40 years, we’ve destroyed the nuclear family in this country. We’ve got culture wars through the roof, and this kind of filth is what is permeating our children. They’re attacking our children. And this is pure evil… We have to take a stand.”

  1. KING OF KINGS PROCLAIMS CHRIST – Over Easter weekend, the animated movie The King of Kings ranked #2 at theaters, earning $19.3 million. Commentator Benny Johnson said the film’s success proves that “the demand for faith-based, non-woke entertainment is undeniable.”
  2. 18.6 MILLION USE YOUVERSION BIBLE APP ON RESURRECTION SUNDAY – The YouVersion Bible app reported a record 18.6 million people engaging with the Bible on Resurrection Sunday, up 11% from last year, and up 27% for the week in North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Founder Bobby Gruenewald said, “We’ve been seeing a growing hunger for God’s Word – not just through Bible App use, but in print Bible sales and momentum across the global Church… God is on the move… It’s about more people encountering the hope and love of Jesus and being transformed by the power of God’s Word.”

 

GLOBAL OUTLOOK for April 12-25, 2025 – An MIA Report

pgnewser April 29, 2025

A. TRENDING

  1. POPE FRANCIS PASSES ONE DAY AFTER EASTER – A day after meeting with Vice President JD Vance and making a public appearance delivering the benediction on Easter Sunday, Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88 on Monday, April 21, 2025, 7:35 AM. He had been hospitalized for five weeks with life-threatening pneumonia before being released four weeks ago to recover in his own residence.

He currently lies in state, where he will remain until his funeral this weekend. No clear front-runner has emerged in the bid to replace him, though conservatives and leftists are vying to ensure “their man” takes the helm.

  1. TARIFF WAR CONTINUES AS TRUMP HINTS AT “SOFTENING” – President Trump is claiming he is in the midst of making numerous deals as a result of his newly imposed tariffs while also suggesting China tariffs could “come down substantially.” He is claiming he is close to a deal with China, while Xi says no negotiations are happening.

China is warning nations not to go along with Trump’s tariff deals, a threat a top Democrat party leader, Jamie Raskin (D-MD), repeated, this time threatening countries a bad time if they go along with Trump once the Democrats are in power. His overt violation of the Logan Act was not prosecuted by Trump’s DOJ. He said, “Implicit in it should be the idea that if and when we come back to power – and we will – we are not going to look kindly upon people who … facilitated authoritarianism in our country.”

  1. DID CCP HELP WU BECOME BOSTON MAYOR? – Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) is alleged to have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from a CCP agent named Gary Yu. This allegation is coming from Daily Caller, who claims Wu’s Chinese name, Yu Guoliang, reveals he is “listed as an official by an agency of a (CCP) influence and intelligence service called United Front Work Department…”

Daily Caller quotes China expert Gordon Chang in response to this report, “Wu’s ultra-leftism makes her the perfect candidate for CCP recruitment and capture. Or do we have it backward? Is her ultra-leftism the result of CCP recruitment and capture? More than just the people of Boston would like to know.”

  1. REAL ID BECOMES REALLY REQUIRED – As of May 7, 2025, if you want to fly on a U.S. plane and you are an American citizen, you will now be required to have a Real ID to do so. This follows delays in the deadline that go back to 2020. The major difference between Real ID and current Federal ID is the increase in documentation requirements, like verifying social security numbers, compared to current Federal IDs.

The underlying methodology is what makes Real ID a potential threat to liberty. Read more about REAL ID here.

  1. U.S. POLITICS
  2. SCOTUS ESCALATES WAR AGAINST TRUMP, FORCING CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS – The judiciary is asserting it has the right to order President Trump to bring the illegal alien gang banger back to America, and the executive is claiming it has no such right. The recent midnight ruling by SCOTUS by a 7-2 vote to halt further deportations until the court rules has only accelerated the crisis. This week alone, April 20-25, 2025, numerous orders striking down parts of Trump’s agenda came out by more activist district judges.

In the May End-of-Month issue, we will continue our report on the effort by Democrats to use seditious judges, leftist activist judges, to undermine the American republic and the Trump agenda. Justice Alito issued a fiery dissent, accusing the court of coming close to breaking the law.

This writer flat-out believes the judiciary is completely rogue and cannot be brought back to American standards until all leftists are removed from office.

  1. NY AG COULD FACE DOJ CHARGES, SO SHE OPENS NEW TRUMP INVESTIGATION – NY Attorney General Letitia James, the George Soros diversity hire, has been referred to the DOJ for criminal prosecution for committing mortgage fraud. She has responded by opening up a new investigation against President Trump over alleged “Insider Trading” charges related to his 90-day tariff pause tweet.

President Trump has demanded the anti-American activist DA resign, writing on Truth Social, “Letitia James, a totally corrupt politician, should resign from her position as New York State Attorney General, IMMEDIATELY. Everyone is trying to MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN, and it can never be done with this wacky crook in office.”

  1. BIDEN TEAM COLLUDED WITH SMITH TO TARGET TRUMP – Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) claim newly uncovered emails prove the Biden administration was working in collusion with “Special Prosecutor” Jack Smith to “lawfare” Donald Trump.

According to the letter sent by the two Senators, “Overall, these newly disclosed emails show the extensive collaboration between and among select FBI agents from the Washington Field Office and prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office – Washington D.C. to plan, approve, and execute Arctic Frost. The emails also provide further support that ASAC Thibault played a central role in advancing its approval to a full field criminal investigation when other agents had concerns the supporting evidence only allowed for a preliminary investigation.”

“Lastly, the emails illustrate the Biden White House’s personal involvement in providing President Trump and former Vice President Pence’s phones to the FBI at their request when neither of them was a subject of the investigation at that point in time.”

  1. LEFTIST VIOLENCE
  2. EL SALVADORAN GANG BANGER BECOMES DEMOCRATS’ NEW SAINT – Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien from El Salvador who was arrested by ICE and deported to El Salvador, where his home country chose to put him in their MS-13 Gang Prison. The DNC criminal media spread the lie he was transported by the U.S. to this MS-13 Gang prison, when in fact, that was an independent decision made by El Salvador.

Despite having a tattoo on his hand that says MS-13, the Democrats are convinced rescuing him from justice is the most important cause of the day. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) visited with the gang banger, and more Democrats, Senators and Representatives, are now making the new hajj to their new Mecca, the MS-13 Gang prison.

Perhaps the biggest crime committed here was by the DNC criminal press, who continue to write stories referring to the illegal alien gang banger as a “Maryland man” or a “Maryland father” in a direct effort to incite violence against Trump-supporting Americans. It remains to be seen when any Republican AG will dare begin to charge the criminal press for its continued terrorist assaults on the American public using deliberate misinformation, lies, to do so.

  1. BLACK TEEN SLAYS WHITE TEEN AND GETS NEW HOUSE, CAR FOR IT – 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony stabbed Austin Metcalf in the heart, killing him. Metcalf was also 17. He died in his identical twin brother’s arms, Hunter Metcalf. The conflict arose when Austin and Hunter pressured Anthony to leave their school’s tent at a Texas track meet among multiple schools.

ED.NOTE: Read more about this story in our report on leftist violence on pg. 2.

  1. PA GOVERNOR’S MANSION SET ABLAZE BY HAMAS-SUPPORTING “AMERICAN” – In what has turned out to be anti-Americanist on anti-Americanist violence, 38-year-old Cody Balmer stands accused of setting the Pennsylvania Governor’s mansion on fire. That mansion is occupied by Democrat Insurrectionist Josh Shapiro, the current governor of Pennsylvania.

Balmer executed the attack, allegedly out of protest of the treatment of Hamas by Israel, with U.S. support. Shapiro specifically may have been targeted because he is Jewish. While Shapiro had little to say about the ongoing Tesla terror attacks by his fellow insurrectionists, he found moral clarity when his people came for him, so to speak.

  1. WORLD
  2. UKRAINE CEASEFIRE STILL ELUDES TRUMP – President Donald Trump keeps hinting a ceasefire deal may come any day, but negotiations so far have failed to cement a deal. The latest offer by the U.S. to grant Russia the Crimea has met with EU disapproval. A rare earth minerals deal is still being worked on, but is far from complete. Trump might be losing patience with Putin, with VP JD Vance hinting Putin might be running out of time.

A recent major attack by Russia, the biggest in months, caused Trump to declare, “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5,000 soldiers a week are dying. Let’s get the Peace Deal DONE!”

  1. IRAN’S NUKE PROGRAM COULD SOON BE BOMBED, OR MONITORED – The showdown with Iran over its alleged efforts to develop a nuclear bomb has been coming to a head, with a new report suggesting the Israelis are prepared to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities with or without the U.S.’s permission. Potentials for negotiations seem promising as Iran has even hinted it would welcome monitors back in, but skeptics believe they are stalling while they complete their work, to build a nuclear bomb.
  2. U.S. MOVES WARSHIPS TO TAIWAN STRAIT – As China hinted an invasion of Taiwan may happen at any moment, Trump decided to send the nation a message by ordering an Arleigh-Burke class missile destroyer to go through the Taiwan strait, which it did, unmolested.

Taiwan’s current government is doubling down on its U.S. bet, announcing $10 billion more in investments, and promises to purchase U.S. energy, as both a way to offset Trump tariffs and curry further favor and connection with the U.S., their biggest protector against Chinese aggression.

  1. DYSTOPIA
  2. UK’S WOKE POLICIES LEADING TO “MISINFORMATION,” GOVERNMENT UNWITTINGLY ADMITS – The United Kingdom’s Parliamentary Home Affairs Committee issued a report that cited the policy of concealing the ethnicity of a suspect is what led to race riots. Those race riots happened after “false claims” spread online that an illegal immigrant stabbed three children to death. These “rumors” spread because the police failed to offer an identification to begin with.

The report stated the policy “created an information vacuum that allowed disinformation to flourish.” The report unwittingly told on its own impractical policies derived from “Woke” presuppositions; Concealing truth, even denying it, for social justice reasons, is not only ok, but it’s also required.

  1. SUICIDE IS BEING PUSHED ON AILING CANADIANS? – Dr. Ramona Coelho, a committee member on Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee, is accusing doctors of pushing patients aggressively towards suicide in increasingly questionable situations. She accused the institution itself of “rushing to death” through quick approvals of Canada’s euthanasia program, called MAiD (Medical Aid in Dying).

She said, “These cases highlight how vulnerable individuals, having lost the capacity to consent, may be coerced or unduly influenced to die – whether through financial abuse, caregiver burnout, or other pressures – reminding us that the stakes are high – life and death, no less.”

  1. ADULTS ARE FLEEING THE CHILD-RAISING RACE ALTOGETHER – A new study from Michigan State University claims that the percentage of “childless adults” who say they are committed to never having children has risen from 14% in 2002 to 29% in 2022. The percentage of childless adults who said they plan on having children in the future fell in that same time gap from 79% to 56%.
  2. UAE LOOKING TO AI TO WRITE ITS LAWS – The UAE is looking to utilize Artificial intelligence to develop and monitor laws in the country. The announcement of this new legislative process was made by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.

Mohammed said of the new initiative, “The new system will allow us to track the daily impact of laws on our people and economy using large-scale data, and it will regularly suggest updates to our legislation. The system will be linked to leading global research centres to follow the best international policies and legislative practices, adapting them to suit the UAE’s unique circumstances.

This new legislative system, powered by artificial intelligence, will change how we create laws, making the process faster and more precise. It will ensure that our legislative framework stands out, aligning our laws with the best global practices while staying true to the unique path of our rapid development.”

  1. HEALTH
  2. WHO MOVES MEMBERS TOWARDS “PANDEMIC TREATY” – After the U.S. left the World Health Organization (WHO) for reasons that were mostly related to how the WHO handled the Covid-19 plandemic, the organization is now leading its remaining member states down a path that ends with a “pandemic treaty.”

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus claimed the agreement signaled to the world that “in our divided world, nations can still work together to find common ground and a shared response.”

  1. TRUMP LOOKS TO MRNA TO SOLVE AVIAN FLU OUTBREAK – A new mRNA vaccine has just been fast-tracked by President Donald Trump that promises to tackle the current avian flu outbreak among American chickens that has led to egg price spiking which are only now beginning to come down. The vaccine is called ARCT-2304, developed by Arcturus Therapeutics.
  2. ALLEGED DEEP STATER FEARED TO HAVE DELETED KEY CDC COVID-19 DATA – Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, the former director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office under Joe Biden, appears to have allegedly deleted government data. The data feared lost is Covid-19 vaccine results data that will show the true depth, breadth, and severity of side effects from the mandated Covid-19 vaccines.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and acting HHS watchdog Juliet Hodgkins, to ensure criminal investigative action was taken on this matter. He wrote, “HHS officials recently informed me that Dr. Shimabukuro’s records remain lost and, potentially, removed from HHS’s email system altogether. Dr. Shimabukuro’s potential mishandling of his official records is highly concerning… Any attempt to obstruct or interfere with my investigatory efforts would be grounds for contempt of Congress.”

Save the Planet, Lose Your Sovereignty

pgnewser April 18, 2025

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

Originally published April 11, 2025 for our Mid-Month Issue of Mindful Intelligence Advisor.  Subscribe to get semi-monthly issues.

“The current international order is based on the presumption that our physical geography is fixed and unchanging. However, climate change – in the form of sea level rise and inundation – is shifting international boundaries. The world’s changing geography will force policymakers and legal experts to adapt the concepts of sovereignty, statehood, and citizenship to address the new global environment.” –from Reconsidering Sovereignty Amid the Climate Crisis – Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

ED.NOTE: The nation-state model is relatively new to the human experience. It may or may not continue to be the dominant model of human governance, be that for good or for ill. The critique offered here is not fundamentally against the notion that there aren’t viable non-nation-state models of human governance, but that this “paper” is not about an authentic exploration of those possibilities but rather agit prop intended to nudge humanity towards something approaching a one-world government.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace issued a “paper” called “Reconsidering Sovereignty Amid the Climate Crisis” that makes the case for surrendering national sovereignty to save the people and the planet from the impending climate change apocalypse.

The paper uses the unique circumstances of the Pacific Islands to justify the claim that the concept of national sovereignty itself is an impediment to saving the people from the disaster coming our way.

The paper was written by Nitya Labh, who Carnegie credits as being “a nonresident research assistant for the South Asia Program and for the Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace…” A LinkedIn profile claims, “Nitya Labh (W&M ‘22) is the runner-up in the undergraduate category of an international essay contest sponsored by the journal International Security and Girl Security.”

Labh is a UN-approved girl, through and through, a content marketer disguised as a journalist, in this writer’s opinion.

Labh claims, “Policymakers should consider new legal options to address climate-induced boundary changes. These may include the creation of fictitious boundaries, collective sovereignty, hybrid citizenship, and corridors for climate displacement.

This paper does not seek to suggest that these new ideas for sovereignty are the only path to resolving the nexus of legal-climate challenges that exist today. Instead, this paper attempts to raise new questions and ideas about how policymakers should think about the international system at a time when anthropogenic climate and environmental change is rearranging its geophysical foundations.”

After a series of scientific claims justifying the climate apocalypse predictions, Labh doubles down on her “gentle” suggestion we reconsider sovereignty, writing, “With only a few exceptions, solely states and intergovernmental organizations obtain rights and face obligations in international law; the individual does not take part in this privileged community.

Sovereignty is also the basis for restrictions on international law; with only a few exceptions, it is the sovereign right of every state that no other state or organization interferes with its internal matters. Consequently, what happens within a state’s borders traditionally has little relevance for the international legal order.”

Here, she’s going far beyond suggesting sovereignty is interfering with saving the people and the planet; it’s just bad for the individual, a very Marxist worldview if ever there was one.

Her logic seems to be this: because sovereign states have avenues of exchange that don’t cater directly to the individual, the individual is somehow diminished because they’re not simply subject to an international order; they’re subject to the nation-state order. If they were subject to an international order, they would have direct representation, like they maybe do at the nation-state level.

Ask yourself if you’d rather face the consequences of a worldwide “election” or an election in the nation-state you’re currently in. If you really think about it, you’ll understand how much further your already diminished voice would be in a world where the prize is control of the entire world.

How much money do you think would go into those campaigns? How many people would die interfering with some faction’s plans to be the one to take power and always attempt to close the door behind them?

Her whole presentation presumes the world would be better off ceding its sovereignty to leftist thinkers, people who can’t understand the basic reality of power, where blood and bone and sinew meet forced habits of being delivered from on-high by “experts” such as this young woman must fancy herself to be.

They can’t even define what a woman is or allow for true value to be measured in their unrealistic “utopian” black-and-white schemes.

She rightly points out what could be considered the birth of the modern political world, the birth of the nation-state, in the Treaty of Westphalia, seeming to suggest that the “newness” of the concept of the sovereignty of the nation-state should cause you to be suspicious of it for that reason alone.

Let us remember, though, that leftists will more often argue that tradition is oppression and wisdom is in progress, the new, what is becoming, NOT what has been. Yet on this issue, this Marxist essentially appeals to tradition to justify rejecting the more progressive governance model, the sovereign nation-state.

This headline in Labh’s “paper” makes it plain, “Climate Change and Sovereignty Are at Odds.”

Here, Labh reveals more than perhaps her presumed handlers would have wanted her to, claiming, “Climate change challenges the presumption that a sovereign state will have ‘a permanent population,’ in the sense that while the individuals living there may change, a territory will be continuously inhabited. It can be a driving factor in human migration by creating climate refugees or internally displaced persons, or by incentivizing voluntary relocations.”

Herein lies the heart of the SOLUTION to save the planet, by nearly any means necessary: Dissolve local identity and geographical heritage in a people and prevent them from occupying any land for generations. It is not a reality, but rather a desire, smuggled in as a matter of fact.

That “fact”claim is this: Humans will, because of the climate change-triggered rising sea levels and food disasters (that human ingenuity will fail to overcome, not by stopping it but by redesigning and rebuilding to accommodate it), no longer desire to be tied to a land of their forefathers.

Certainly, if rising sea levels happen (presuming their climate apocalypse is real) then the micro national islands in the Pacific this writer conveniently focuses on will have major sovereignty issues, with whole island micro-nations being sent to the bottom of the rising seas.

Furthermore, their national sovereignty is relatively newer in these regions, with less allegiance placed on the nation-state than with the families, the larger communities they live with.

One interesting “solution” is not entirely without merit, even if it is intended to wholly replace the nation-state model, which this writer imagines it would not. Here, she writes of “collective sovereignty,” claiming it “could provide a legitimate basis for hybrid citizenship that spans multiple jurisdictions.”

Such collective sovereignties, in this writer’s mind, could come from nations that join in some form of league or confederal pact, but even then, primary citizenship would most likely not only be required, but preferred by the citizens themselves. Their ability to vote in non-primary nation-states would most likely be diminished in some capacity.

In that same section, she writes, “In the absence of international law or institutional frameworks that allocate human rights responsibilities in hybrid arrangements, states will have to establish bilateral or regional agreements to divide, reestablish, and share human rights duties. Regardless of the form citizenship and migration pathways take, it is clear that climate response policies must center around the interests of human security.”

The key phrases here are “human rights,” “human rights DUTIES,” “climate response policies,” and “human security.”

“Climate response policies” is a particularly interesting phrase in that it contains within it the very thing President Trump is at least severely disrupting, the administrative state. A legislative, democratic response to the climate apocalypse would hardly be adequate.

These changes must be made by scientists, experts, and human rights advocates, on the fly, as the crisis demands. In other words, these changes need to be made by the administrative state.

Imagine keeping a whole world captive to the lie that the planet was going to die, and people were going to perish by the billions if they didn’t hand their lives and sovereignty over to people with the same worldview as this woman.

Imagine if that was really the only thing that held them, the fear that the end might be near. Year after year the state would have to find reasons the climate apocalypse hadn’t happened yet or why it wasn’t making a difference, or maybe it was making things worse, in the “fight to save the planet” so far.

Any dissenting voice would be labeled a saboteur, or worse, a climate denier, a charge that could, in that world, be even worse than being called a racist or a homophobe in today’s leftist-controlled cultural reality.

Imagine a world where the statement “homosexuality is a sin” will get you imprisoned because climate change experts determined that statement was a human rights violation, which could accelerate the habits of being that made man-made climate change happen in the first place.

In case you’re interested, that would be white supremacism; everything goes back to white supremacism, right before it halts for a time at “muh patriarchy,” though this agit prop piece doesn’t pull any “social justice” trump card other than saving the planet and human rights (which is a dog whistle for a forced socio-cultural value system at existential odds with Christian and Americanist values).

The mere introduction of the notion that surrendering nation-state sovereignty is NECESSARY to save the planet AND the people is a hard enough blow on conventional thought as it is, so perhaps she wisely chose to lay off the white devil and toxic male tropes.

The piece itself is a test of the spirit of the land, or at least how the “opposition” might choose to react or not react to what appears to this writer to be a severe shot across the bow of sovereign rights.

But it is also a nudge, an attempt to both stigmatize nation-state sovereignty and normalize more collective sovereignty identities. Don’t be fooled, however, the collective sovereignty stop is just that – a stop, a stop on a journey that ends in a one world socialist government run by the few enlightened for the “benefit” of the vast many.

Finally, it is a signal to lower-thought-serving agit prop information terror machines, like CBS News, CNN, etc., to start running stories that make nation-state sovereignty sound evil (even if you must make them up) and collective sovereignty look great.

If this writer is right, expect more stories from the DNC-CCP media on the plight of the island nations of the Pacific over the coming months and years as they prepare their low-informed, partisan-identified de facto sycophants to accept a world “without borders” that really becomes, as Alex Jones warned us, nothing more than a prison planet.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace isn’t interested in saving the people or the planet; it’s interested in making humans in their inhuman “image,” an image that sees humanity as needing one unified society to truly be the human they were born to choose to be.

That society must be created from on high, from experts who understand what human rights are, experts who understand what social justice is, experts who can use science and math and logic and reason to redesign the human experience from top to bottom, towards a new shared whole.

Those that don’t choose what they SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN will be culled from the social human tribe.

This “paper” is nothing short of a declaration of war against the whole planet by the “globalist” powers that be; the race to secure power is on, and Nitya Labh is ready to do her part to assure the rest of her network knows, it’s time to make war on sovereignty.

DID CCP HELP WU BECOME BOSTON MAYOR? – Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) is alleged to have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from a CCP agent named Gary Yu.

U.S. Moves into Panama Canal, Kicking China Out

 pgnewser  April 14, 2025

Hegseth Secures ‘First and Free’ Passage for U.S. Ships in Panama Canal– www.breitbart.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

PANAMA CITY, Panama — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had one mission on his trip to Panama — to secure a deal to get “first and free” passage for U.S. ships in the Panama Canal, a critical waterway for the United States’ economy and military that was at risk of falling under China’s control.

As the secretary and his team flew the down from Washington on Monday evening to meet with Panama’s leaders, such a deal with Panama was far from certain.

While the U.S. had built the canal in the early 1900s and maintained it for decades before handing it over to Panama, China had in recent years poured money into projects and infrastructure attached to it. As a passageway between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans that handles more than 40 percent of U.S. maritime trade, if China were able to close the canal, it would be a catastrophe for the U.S.

President Donald Trump, early on in his administration, made retaking the canal from Chinese influence a top priority. In December, even before he took office for the second time, he posted about it on Truth Social:

The new law also immediately bans devices such as bump stocks that can make semiautomatic weapons fire at speeds close to fully automatic firearms.

A new law signed by Colorado Governor Jared Polis is set to become one of the strictest gun regulations the state has ever passed.

On Thursday, Polis signed Senate Bill 3, which bans the manufacture and sharply limits the sale of certain semiautomatic firearms in Colorado. The law is meant to reduce mass shooting casualties. “Gun-control groups hail the measure as a bold step toward reducing the death toll in mass shootings because attackers won’t be able to easily reload when they run out of bullets,” the Wall Street Journal reported.

“I really think this will make Colorado safer,” Polis said before signing the bill at the state Capitol.

The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly weighing a proposal that would merge the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

According to a report from Reuters, the department outlined the plan in a March 25 memo. In addition to a potential merger, the administration is also reportedly considering the closure of several field offices that handle antitrust, environmental and civil cases.

The administration believes that a merger of the ATF and the DEA would “achieve efficiencies in resources, case deconfliction and regulatory efforts,” the memo outlines. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche instructed department heads and relevant officials mentioned in the memo to provide feedback about the proposed restricting by April 2.

Blanche added that proposed cuts and mergers were previously submitted to the Office of Personnel Management and the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Incoming German chancellor Friedrich Merz accused Russia of “serious war crimes” and “perfidy” in the way the attack was conducted. Polish prime minister Donald Tusk said the attack represented “the Russian version of a ceasefire.”

On arrivals this morning, the language of top foreign policy chiefs was similarly clear. EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said it only served as a reminder of the importance of supporting Ukraine “to put maximum pressure on Russia” as the Vladimir Putin continues to reject the ceasefire offer.

By Misty Severi, Just The News, April 11, 2025 4:08pm

The Justice Department (DOJ) on Friday revealed it has charged a Pennsylvania man with threatening to harm and kill President Donald Trump, other U.S. officials, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Shawn Monper of Butler, Pennsylvania, was charged with the threats earlier this week after he allegedly made threatening comments on social media, and purchased guns to allegedly carry out the threats.

Monper allegedly made the posts under his username of “Mr. Satan” where the user commented in February that people needed to kill Trump, Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, and other Trump administration agency heads. In one message, he allegedly stated that he would “assassinate him myself.”

“I want to applaud the outstanding and courageous investigative work of the FBI and the Butler Township Police Department, who thankfully identified and apprehended this individual before he could carry out his threats against President Trump’s life and the lives of other innocent Americans,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

“Rest assured that whenever and wherever threats of assassination or mass violence occur, this Department of Justice will find, arrest, and prosecute the suspect to the fullest extent of the law and seek the maximum appropriate punishment,” she added.

Excerpt:

A federal judge has upheld a Trump Administration policy that allows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to carry out enforcement operations at churches and other places of worship, representing another major court victory for the administration as it seeks to accelerate its mass deportation operations.

U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, who was appointed by Trump during his first term in the White House, denied a request from more than two dozen Jewish and Christian organizations to block the policy. In a lawsuit brought forward by the groups, they argued that the policy infringes on religious freedom and was causing a drop in attendance at religious services, especially among illegal aliens who fear potential deportation.

“That evidence suggests that congregants are staying home to avoid encountering ICE in their own neighborhoods, not because churches or synagogues are locations of elevated risk,” Friedrich wrote in her ruling.

The Washington-based judge found that the plaintiffs lack standing after finding little evidence that the administration was singling out places of worship. She also rejected the claim that the policy could be blamed for drops in attendance, noting that only a handful of immigration enforcement operations have taken place in and around churches or other places of worship.

California, New York, and Massachusetts were responsible for $305 million of improper payments.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has revealed that $382 million in fraudulent unemployment payments have been issued since 2020, with the vast majority traced to the Democrat-led states of California, New York, and Massachusetts.

The three states were responsible for $305 million of improper payments. California alone accounted for 68 percent of benefits issued under former President Joe Biden to parolees flagged by federal authorities as either listed on the government’s terrorist watchlist or possessing criminal records.

“There’s a reason for the mass exodus from Democrat-run states that have mismanaged their economies and driven residents to the nearest Republican-led state,” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told Fox News. “High taxes, poor stewardship of taxpayer dollars and progressive policies continue to yield negative results, which is why Americans overwhelmingly support the work of DOGE.”

DOGE reported earlier this week that hundreds of millions of fraudulent unemployment benefits went out since 2020 to tens of thousands of recipients. Among the beneficiaries were individuals with birthdays that have not yet occurred, people over 115 years old, and children.

“This is another incredible discovery by the DOGE team, finding nearly $400 million in fraudulent unemployment payments. The Labor Department is committed to recovering Americans’ stolen tax dollars. We will catch these thieves and keep working to root out egregious fraud,”  said Labor Department Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer.

According to the New York Post, police have arrested a suspect:

Pennsylvania State Police have arrested a Harrisburg man for the arson attack on Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family that sent them fleeing from the governor’s residence on the first night of Passover.

Cody Balmer, 38, of Harrisburg, is expected to face charges of attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, and aggravated assault against an enumerated person, authorities said.

Reuters had more context that the suspect had “homemade incendiary devices in his possession.”

The Governor got emotional during a press conference earlier saying:

“If he was trying to terrorize our family, our friends, the Jewish community, who joined us for a Passover Seder in that room last night, hear me on this: we celebrated our faith last night, proudly and in a few hours, we will celebrate our second Seder of Passover.”

SCUNTHORPE, England: Britain expressed confidence on Monday (Apr 14) that it could secure enough raw materials to keep the blast furnaces at its last maker of virgin steel burning, after the government seized operational control from its Chinese owners.

Ministers said British Steel’s owners, China’s Jingye Group, had wanted to shut the furnaces at the Scunthorpe plant after they rejected a government funding proposal, which would have forced Britain to import steel instead.

The government recalled parliament at the weekend – the first Saturday recall since the 1982 Falklands War – to give it powers to direct the company’s board and workforce and to order raw materials.

By Monday morning, it had approved the appointment of an interim chief executive and chief commercial officer – both long-term employees of the plant – and said it had established that enough raw materials were in the country.

“We need to make sure we get it into the blast furnaces,” Treasury department minister James Murray said.

 

Tolerating or Accepting Preferred Pronouns?

“Free speech is my right to say what you don’t want to hear.” –George Orwell

“The right to free speech is more important than the content of the speech.” –Voltaire

“Freedom of speech doesn’t protect speech you like; it protects speech you don’t like.” –Larry Flynt

“If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it at all.” –Noam Chomsky

The pursuit of “alternative pronouns” may have begun, in part, as a pushback against intolerance, the intolerance of non-conformity to orthodox expectations regarding sex and gender, but it has since become another spearpoint aimed at the Bill of Rights.

Still, if we live out our Americanism, the idea that individuals can define their own happiness and pursuit of that happiness for themselves, should we YET THEN be tolerant and respectful of those who choose to express themselves through “alternative pronouns?”

The whole pronouns thing may seem wacko, and I can’t argue it can get strange; the positive in the movement is the idea of being your authentic self.

I might argue that changing your pronouns to fit your perception of your gender or for other reasons isn’t the path to authenticity, but I appreciate that it has become visible because I think it does, in part, affirm that people should be free to be their authentic selves and not be FORCED to follow “expected” social norms.

If using alt pronouns is what you need to do to be authentic to your true self as you see yourself, especially if this takes you to a place of seeing that this only scratches the surface, then so be it. I do not judge the heart; I do, however, have a right to my own morals and to define truth, justice, and authenticity according to my beliefs, values, and convictions.

Instead of being easily offended about pronouns, whether you use alt pronouns or choose not to participate, I believe it would be more consistent with our Americanism to have a more live and let live attitude.

You have no right to demand people recognize your gender as being a social construct; you also have no right to tell people they cannot express themselves in this manner.

Being true to your authentic self goes both ways.

Do you believe alt pronoun usage reflects your authentic self, or is part of that? So be it. Associate with people, or prefer people, who agree and will acknowledge that, but don’t become hostile to people who cannot agree on their own grounds (they do not owe anyone an explanation) and who feel strongly that gender is what you are born with, period.

While alt pronouns may be losing some popularity, mostly because some loud people are insufferable about demanding the world change to suit their preferences, I’m concerned the idea behind it, being your authentic self, may also suffer.

For some, using alt gender pronouns is a pathway to finding who they truly are. I think it’s a dead end to stay there, and I also think you can pursue and explore this idea of authenticity without resorting to alt pronouns usage.

I may not agree with the alt pronoun usage, but where the subject is finding your authentic self, we are, to that degree, the same. We just go about it differently.

I do not view using people’s alt pronouns, if they ask with respect (demanding me anything will get resistance!), as an agreement that sex or gender can be a social construct, but if I care for someone and this is their journey, even though I think this is objectively not an effective path to true authenticity, I will respect THEIR worldview and probably use whatever they want me to use.

It is hard to use they/them, however, because it is a total disruption of language, but sometimes I think those using such pronouns are symbolizing a resistance against the soft tyranny of FORCING societal norms, something I cannot not only understand but also agree with.

In other words, I agree with upsetting social norms that go against individual authenticity and that don’t benefit everyone the same, I just think alt pronouns are more surface and shallower and don’t get to the right conclusion in the end. They also disrupt far more than “social norms,” they disrupt efficient human value exchange, existentially, when forced on society as a whole.

It may be that someone using those alt pronouns is on a journey. They know (or think they know) that they do not fit the orthodox categories or roles society assigns them without their foreknowledge or consent.

This writer is also not naïve enough to see that some, especially the late joiners, are playing language games intended to disarm their opposition. They’re not pursuing authentic understanding; they’re using the divisive language of trans and non-binary to isolate, attack, and destroy their competition.

We have limited means to break the mold in terms of our work, how we make a living, and manage other factors in life where we are forced into roles and submission to rules that actually defy our own inner convictions.

I feel this pressure a lot. I also see how limiting and controlling most institutions in our society are today, and I understand why someone would perhaps even subconsciously resort to alt pronouns to try and take back some of their sovereignty.

I know that God has had a lot of grace on me for things I later realized were not His will or plan for my life, so I choose to show grace both because the wrong person may one day see the light and because the wrong person may be me (a general axiom it would be wise to follow).

Ultimately, I think, for many who use alt pronouns it is rebellion and reaction against the stultifying tendencies of societal norms that go beyond civility into outright control of your person, in violation of your individual sovereignty and authenticity.

Rebellion against top-down control like that can often be haphazard, inconsistent, reactionary, and weird, but one must look beyond the pathways people choose to understand a more common goal: the inherent rights of sovereign beings, us, being true to who we are in an authentic way, while being limited only by reasonable rules of civility and mutual tolerance and respect, outside of our preferred associations that follow the same way of life that we do.

Civility doesn’t mean people OWE YOU usage of your alt pronouns; some will simply use the standard norms of addressing you by your visible gender. You are out of the norm here, and if people break the norm for you, it is a privilege and not a right.

What people DO owe you is decency and respect as a human being. For example, they can be civil and kind despite not agreeing to use your pronouns because, for them, using alt pronouns isn’t perceptively being true to their authentic self.

Too often, however, people who believe in things that are harmless to society are treated as if they are a menace, perhaps because of the loud insufferables in their ranks but also due to the inherent tendency in humans towards bigotry.

If someone who is born a guy thinks they are a girl, and if they then choose to live as a girl in their own life and with their own people, they are no DIRECT threat to you. While you don’t owe them usage of alt pronouns, you owe them respect and decency, if not merely for the sake of preserving and advocating for Americanism (the right to self-stewardship, even when you’re “wrong”) as a civic standard.

For instance, you may just avoid pronouns with them as much as possible, and you may explain that you cannot in good conscience use alt pronouns, but you respect their humanity and treat them well regardless.

For me, when a loved one asked me to use they/them pronouns, despite my philosophical and religious beliefs about the permanence of gender from birth, I chose to use the alt pronouns to show them that no matter what “alternatives” from the “orthodox” they choose, even when I oppose it, my love for them will not end.

My usage of their terms is not an affirmation of those terms, but an affirmation of my love for them. To confirm a lie is not loving.

In closing, I suspect the reason the whole alt pronouns thing emerged was a rebellion against artificial societal norms that go beyond a peaceful and tolerant society to become a society that controls and limits the human spirit.

That probably happened because the non-binary “cause” was then picked up by authoritarian, anti-American social engineers who exploited the plea of the needy to trick people into surrendering “rights” for “protection.”

Not so surprisingly, though no less ironically, that “tolerance” has led to “intolerance” of countervailing views.
