A top Hamas military commander has broken ranks to criticise the terror group’s leaders, claiming that its barbaric October 7 attacks were never supposed to target Israeli civilians. In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, the leader of a battalion of 400 Hamas terrorists claimed that the initial plan was to kill Israeli soldiers and take some troops hostage.

Hundreds of Israelis were taken hostage back...

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is launching a project to advance the agenda, which the UN claims will be implemented “inclusively.” The project is based on what’s known as “digital public infrastructure,” aka, DPI.

They’re not movies with John Galt speeches, and most of them aren’t really ideological at all. But the messages or the values are there. Amazing Grace (2007) John Newton was a slave trader who was converted to Christianity. He renounced his previous life and became an evangelical minister in the Church of England, an abolitionist, and the author of a beautiful hymn. “Was blind but now I see,” indeed. Among the people who heard his preaching was a young member of parliament, William Wilberforce, who was inspired to lead a long campaign for the abolition of slavery—from his maiden speech...
