The Covid19 Controversy has people asking: Are Tracking Implants the Mark of the Beast? There have been allegations that governments and elites want to implant tracking devices into the populace to track and control them. (From May 2020)Last week on Reddit, Bill Gates suggested a means of "digital tracking certificates", which caused many people to think that we could be close to this imposed technology Dr. Marshall looks at the controversy and whether this could be the "Mark" that is described in Apocalypse 13:18​.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, has hired General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, to craft designs for an air-launched missile-toting air-to-air combat drone as part of a program called LongShot. In concept, a larger manned aircraft would fire this unmanned air vehicle, which could then fly to a certain area and engage multiple aerial threats with its own weapons. This, in turn, would extend the range of the launch platform and reduce its vulnerability to hostile aircraft or air defenses, among many other benefits.

Has an era of American mediocrity begun? In January the College Board announced it would eliminate the essay portion of the SAT, as well as all of the separate SAT subject tests. Their stated purpose was “reducing and simplifying demands on students.” Such a burden. One high school near me just dropped freshman advanced-standing (honors) English “to combat the effects of academic ‘tracking” because it “ultimately separates students of different socioeconomic and racial backgrounds.” It turns out that middle schools from lower-income areas aren’t adequately preparing their students for high school. So rather than fix that problem, they dumbed down...

As first reported by Reuters, former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner and Special Representative for International Negotiations Avi Berkowitz have been nominated for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize by Alan Dershowitz, a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School. The pair joins former president Donald Trump, who has been nominated for the prestigious honor several times since the initial signing of the Abraham Accords in September of last year.

Mark 13:12 brother will deliver brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. A time is coming when a neighbor will be betraying a neighbor to the government. And don't think it will only be a liberal betraying a conservative. Conservatives WILL betray fellow conservatives. Why? How? Consider that one can be a conservative for different reasons. For example: one may be a conservative because he thinks it is immoral to kill, so they are against abortion; one may be against taxes because it is stealing, one...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/08/health/us-coronavirus-monday/index.html Fear porn: We are still in the “eye of the hurricane” as cases drop due to the deadly new variants. - https://healingoracle.ch/2018/04/09/cdc-admits-98-million-injured-polio-shot/ For the anti-vaxxers: Not too familiar with this source but apparently the polio vaccine dramatically increased a number of cancers. I am not saying that the Coronavirus vaccine causes cancer but the point is valid that the harmful, and often unknown, health effects need to be weighed against any benefit. The problem is that the math behind the benefits of vaccines is a lot easier than the math behind the harmful effects...

The diesel-electric attack submarine was surfacing when it impacted the 51,000-ton commercial vessel off the Japanese coast. A collision between a Japanese submarine and a cargo ship in the Pacific Ocean has resulted in injuries to at least three submariners, according to initial reports. The incident occurred today at 10:58 AM local time, around 25 miles southeast of Cape Ashizuri, in the waters off the island of Shikoku, which lies southwest of Japan’s main island of Honshu. The submarine involved was the first-in-class Soryu, one of 11 of these diesel-electric attack submarines active with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF)....

Changing the rules of a game right before it’s played normally inspires skepticism, if not cynicism. But a new Time magazine report celebrates a well-funded effort to change voting processes and the flow of political information before the 2020 elections.Time’s Molly Ball happily describes a “conspiracy” among the progressive left, big labor, big business and the Washington establishment to counter Donald Trump and suppress unwanted elements of U.S. political conversation before and after Election Day.Like the various actors she describes at the heart of this vast campaign, Ms. Ball presents it as a virtuous effort to protect democracy from Mr....

Democratic House impeachment managers continued their preposterous and dangerous assault on former President Trump, his supporters and the American Republic in their unconstitutional attempt to impeach Trump for the second time… even though he is now a private citizen. They averred that “every allegation” made against Trump is true, and pre-emptively stated that “any affirmative defenses and legal defenses set forth” by his defense team “are wholly without merit.” They added, “The evidence of President Trump’s conduct is overwhelming. He has no valid excuse or defense for his actions.” Well, who needs a trial? Burn him at the stake, already....

I should state at the outset that were it not for doctors, I would either be paralyzed or dead. I owe my mobility and probably my life to wonderful physicians. However, I will now state with equal certitude that the American medical profession as a whole and many individual doctors are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans -- very possibly, more than that. Along with the media -- from The New York Times to Google/YouTube, Facebook and Twitter -- Americans have been denied both life-saving information and life-saving drugs. I am specifically referring to hydroxychloroquine and...

A Japanese submarine crashed into a Chinese tanker while it was surfacing after the crew failed to spot the giant ship through their periscope, officials have said. The crew of the Japanese navy's 275-foot vessel then had to report the incident by mobile phone because the submarine's radio was destroyed in the crash. Three of the crew members of the 'Soryu' suffered minor injuries, while the submarine suffered damage to its mast, Japanese defence officials said on Monday.

After the fiasco of January 6 and the semi-fiasco of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), some people like Jackie Gingrich Cushman are calling for moderation. Even Robert Stacy McCain is wondering “Why is tribalism in America now asserting itself in such toxic and ferocious ways?” Do I have to spell it out? Politics is tribalism, always has been and always will be. The only question is whether my tribe beats your tribe. What do you think the notion of Allyism is about? There is the tribe of helpless “oppressed peoples,” then there the tribe of noble woke “allies,” and together...

The sprawling expanse of flat emptiness in central Florida is an unlikely place for America's fastest growing metro area in the nation. Yet, just 70 miles northwest of Orlando sits 'The Villages' – the world's largest retirement community that surpasses the size of Manhattan and encompasses five zip codes with an ever-growing population. Spanning 32-square-miles, The Villages is a veritable boom-town for baby boomers aged 55+ who flock to the geriatric paradise in droves for its endless margarita mixers (happy hour starts at 11am), unlimited golf courses (50, to be exact), and notorious for its laissez-fair attitude towards sex, thriving...

Monday marked three weeks since a Lake Forest man received his second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, and one day since he got a positive COVID-19 test result. “Yesterday, I got a phone call from the Orange County Health Department,” Gary Michael said. “They told me that, yes, I’m positive with coronavirus, and they went through my symptoms and the precautions of what I should do as far as quarantine.” Michael was tested for the virus when he went to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo on Saturday for an unrelated health issue. “You might be surprised by this man’s...

Time magazine’s “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that Saved the 2020 Election” by Molly Ball is supposed to come off as an epic tale of left-wing institutions swooping in to save democracy from untold chaos in the aftermath of the election but reads more like a confessional where the storyteller and her informants unwittingly reveal that the election was indeed rigged. Ball stresses that the “shadow effort [was] dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted.” In other words, they were not attempting to defeat Trump, but were...

The moment Bruce Jenner “came out” as Caitlyn, Bruce ceased to exist. It was as if he was never born, and everyone was expected to go along with the charade. Curiously, most people did. News stories immediately and unquestioningly stopped referring to Bruce. But no one bothered to ask a very basic question: how does Bruce, or anyone, know what it’s like to be another gender? They don’t ask it because it is impossible to answer, and they don’t want to be seen as insufficiently woke. But it’s an important question as people are having their lives ruined over slipping...

Some come for the plays. Some come for the halftime show. Some come for the commercials. And yes, some are mainly in it for the opening flyover. This year, aviation nerds got a unique offering for the Super Bowl—Air Force Global Strike Command provided one each of their bombers—a B-52, a B-1, and a B-2. It would be the first bomber trio flyover for a big game. Although it wasn't heavily promoted, the aircraft's designations also add up to 55 (B-1 + B-2 + B-52=55), which was ideal for Super Bowl LV, or 55. The three bombers, with the B-2...

President Trump is now Donald Trump, so why are Democrats demanding another impeachment? Add to that, Trump is already out of office, the Chief Justice will not preside, and 45 senators have already objected to the questionable legality of the proceedings. Is it pettiness, or is there another motive? Nancy Pelosi is one of the snidest and most petty representatives in Congress. I have personally heard from several Democratic representatives their beliefs that Pelosi held up critical immigration and COVID legislation that they privately supported, for no other reason than that it might help Trump look good. SNIP But there...

An impoverished fisherman who found a rare orange Melo pearl worth £250,000 in Thailand has been arrested after celebrating his new fortune by allegedly throwing a meth party for his pals. Hatchai Niyomdecha, 37, invited friends over to his home in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand, on Friday after being offered 10 million Baht (£250,000) for the rare pearl. Police reportedly found thousands of oral methamphetamine tablets at the man's house after being contacted by his neighbours who complained about the loud music and claimed they could smell drugs. The Thai fisherman made headlines around the world last week after he...
