“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to...

Thanks to a new project from the Moscow Archives and the State Inspectorate for Real Estate, unique documents on a number of churches and chapels destroyed in Moscow in the 1920s and 30s are now available online.

For people who are preppers, what are you doing differently now than you were a year ago? What, if anything, caught you off guard? What lessons have you learned from the pandemic that have caused you to change what you do? For those whose plans include bugging out, how will you deal with the possibility of formal travel restrictions or people in small towns and rural communities who might be hostile to outsiders coming in and possibly bringing a disease with them?

The same image had been censored two years ago, before the warning label was removed.December 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Facebook has once again censored an image of Santa Claus kneeling before the infant Jesus in a manger. Two years ago Facebook first censored the now famous image, identifying it as ‘violent’ or ‘graphic’ content. After a December 2018 LifeSiteNews story about the censoring went viral, Facebook relented, removed the warning, and uncovered the painting. Last week, LifeSiteNews was made aware that Facebook had once again hidden the touching illustration, slapping the tender image of Santa on one knee and head...

Pope Francis sends a video message to participants in the UN’s virtual climate summit, and highlights the Holy See’s efforts to promote a “culture of care” in order to combat climate change.“The effects of the ongoing pandemic and climate change—which are relevant not only for the environment but also for the spheres of ethics, society, economics, and politics—weigh most heavily upon the lives of the poor and vulnerable.” Pope Francis offered that motivation for the Holy See’s commitment to combatting climate change, in a video message sent on Saturday. His remarks were directed to participants in the UN’s High Level...

Mike Pence will skip the country as soon as he formally confirms Joe Biden's victory on January 6 with week-long foreign tour to avoid face-to-face confrontation with Donald Trump and angry supporters.

'I suspect the timing is anything but coincidental,' a...

A prominent German virologist is urging a ban on singing in church at Christmas during the COVID-19 pandemicA prominent German virologist, Alexander Kekule, is urging a ban on singing in church at Christmas to prevent the release of coronavirus-carrying aerosols. He also warned that it would be better if the Creed and the Lord's Prayer were prayed in silence. "At most, saying the 'Amen' at the end is OK," he said told the weekly magazine Focus. "If everyone is wearing a mask in church and there is a maximum of one person per five square meters, then worship services at...

It was December 20, 1943 and in the freezing air high above Germany, 2nd Lieutenant Charles “Charlie” Brown struggled to keep the mortally damaged American bomber on course. Brown had been wounded in the shoulder, his tail gunner Sergeant Hugh “Ecky” Eckenrode was dead, and several other members of the crew were wounded, some severely. Their aircraft, B-17F Ye Olde Pub, had been hit twice by flak as it approached its target, the Focke-Wulf plant in the German city of Bremen, forcing the crew to shut down one of the engines and throttle back on another. This had left it...

A second video has been published by data science experts showing what they claim to be proof of election fraud occurring in Arizona and say they have uncovered over 790,000 “laundered” votes injected into the system in the state. The video shows massive discrepancies in absentee ballot releases in the counties of Coconino, Maricopa, Pima and Pinal. The experts suggest that votes were “preloaded” into an “absentee bucket” hidden from public view which then distributes votes to candidates as needed to reach a desired result. At the end of the video, the experts claim the following: “Voter fraud occurred in...

Over three years ago I warned that China was behind the efforts to depose President Trump. It was not difficult to figure it out. All one needed to do was follow the money. After all, who would gain the most from deposing Donald Trump? The obvious answer was China. Now comes the revelation that one of President Trump’s biggest persecutors, Rep. Eric Salwell (D-CA) knew - apparently in the biblical sense - a Chinese spy. This disclosure comes on the heels of the Youtube video of a Chinese professor touting China’s friends in the core of America’s power, as well...

Viral video claims ‘Supreme Court backroom shouting match’ over Texas caseThe source for this claim is Hal Turner.https://t.co/uN4kXtJ50qpic.twitter.com/KOmvHLdm5l— Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) December 17, 2020 I saw this story from Hal Turner, five days ago and chose to ignore it. It is unsourced and like much of what Turner publishes, it could be completely fabricated. However, twitter is flying right now after it was mentioned in the video above during testimony on election fraud and John Roberts.

There's a wild rumor going around saying that Trump will start a war to "cover" his "election loss." President Trump isn't going to start a war, and he won the 2020 election in a landslide so it wouldn’t work as "cover."When DNI said a few days ago that China was among the enemy nations proven to have interferred in our election, that’s basically the US announcing we have evidence that China has been conducting a war against the United states.China is trying to overthrow the US via a stolen election to put their puppets in place. This is an act...

The military man was supposed to attend PT at 11 a.m. Dec. 1, but when his superior sent a reminder 30 minutes beforehand, he responded that he was headed back home from his shopping trip to Target — and his home was 35 minutes away from his training, according to a written reprimand posted on the popular Air Force amn/nco/snoc Facebook page. But it didn’t rattle the devoted gamer. “Yolo, PS5 > letters of discipline,” the unnamed service member told brass, according to the letter, using slang for “you only live once.” The flippant reply got the unnamed serviceman knocked...

Covering for the Biden family by trying to suppress rather than report on The Post’s scoops may prove expensive for a host of US media institutions — especially the privileged social-media companies. A majority of voters say the media intentionally buried The Post’s October bombshell about Hunter Biden’s laptop to help his father Joe Biden’s political campaign, a Rasmussen Reports poll showed Tuesday. The poll found 52 percent of likely voters believe media companies provided scant coverage of the laptop story — which shed light on Hunter’s Ukrainian and Chinese business activities and suggested Joe Biden knew about them, despite...
