Christian families denied rations from Indian government
Ten Christian families in the Central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh were denied government incentives by the village administration due to their faith affiliation, reports International Christian Concern.
They were summoned on January 26th where the villagers, influenced by the radical Hindu nationalists, pressured the Christians to give up their Christian faith or be denied provisions like rice, beans, and oil that the government otherwise provides for the poor.
These Christian families, which trusted Christ four years ago, have since been reeling under extreme harassment and physical abuse by the radical Hindus. However, they stand strong in spite of losing needed provisions.
Additionally, the local pastor was denied entry to conduct worship and was taken by the police for interrogation on false conversion charges. He said, “The harassment continues to increase against Christians in Bara Chomri village. However, we Christians did not worry. We don’t need incentives. [We’re] ready to pay any cost and lay down our lives.”
Police released the pastor with the warning not to enter the village again.
In John 15:20, Jesus said, “A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you also.”
World Health and UNICEF are tricking and sterilizing young Kenyan women
Google-owned YouTube has once again censored LifeSiteNews, this time for their reporting on a World Health Organization tetanus vaccine used to sterilize young women of childbearing age in Kenya, Africa.
The Big Tech video-sharing platform has deleted an interview conducted by editor-in-chief John-Henry Westen with Dr. Wahome Ngare, a Kenyan obstetrician and gynecologist. In the interview, Dr. Ngare speaks out about how the World Health Organization’s tetanus vaccine campaign, carried out in conjunction with the Kenyan government, was actually intended as a population control effort.
LifeSiteNews has appealed the removal of the video and YouTube’s strike against The John-Henry Westen Channel, which bans him from posting new content for 7 days. The strike does not expire until May 18; two more strikes would mean a permanent ban from YouTube.
The key piece of evidence was the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin or HCG in several of the vaccine vials. HCG is a hormone integral to alerting a woman she is pregnant. Dr. Ngare explained to John-Henry Westen that the tetanus vaccine, laced with HCG, would produce both anti-tetanus and anti-HCG antibodies.
Biden heads to Europe to shore up support for Ukraine
President Joe Biden heads to Europe this week in a trip meant to be a show of defiance, reports Politico.com.
He will mark a second year of war by denouncing Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and publicly declare that the United States will support Kyiv until the final moments of the conflict.
Biden leaves today for Poland to meet with President Andrzej Duda and other key NATO leaders.
President Jimmy Carter in hospice care
Former President Jimmy Carter has entered hospice care in his Georgia home, reports FoxNews.com.
On Saturday, The Carter Center said, “After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.”
Actor Tom Sizemore had a brain aneurysm
Saving Private Ryan star Tom Sizemore is in critical condition at a Los Angeles hospital after he suffered a brain aneurysm at his home, reports The Gazette-Times.
His manager, Charles Lago, said Sizemore was at his South Main Street apartment at around 2:00am on Saturday when he suffered a brain aneurysm and became unconscious.
Someone found the 61-year-old actor and quickly called 911. EMS crews then transported Sizemore to a local hospital, where he was listed in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit.
He has had a history of drug abuse including meth and run-ins with the law including domestic violence against a former spouse.
Politically-correct publisher changing Roald Dahl’s children’s books
Roald Dahl, the British novelist who died in 1990 at the age of 74, would not be pleased with how Puffin publishing is deleting hundreds of words from and adding whole paragraphs to his original manuscripts — all in the interest of political correctness, reports The Guardian.
Puffin has hired “sensitivity readers” to rewrite chunks of the author’s text to make sure the books “can continue to be enjoyed by all today,” resulting in extensive changes across Dahl’s work including his bestselling children’s books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and James and The Giant Peach.
For example, Augustus Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now described as “enormous” instead of “fat.” In The Twits, Mrs. Twit is no longer “ugly and beastly,” but just “beastly.” And the Oompa-Loompas, the little people who worked to make the candy in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, are now gender-neutral.
OOMPA-LOOMPAS: “Oompa loompa doompa-de-doo, I’ve a perfect puzzle for you. Oompa loompa doompa-de-dee, If you are wise, you will listen to me.”
23-year-old woman rows solo 3,000 miles across Atlantic
And finally, a 23-year-old woman just set the Talisker Challenge record for the fastest solo row across the 3,000-mile-wide Atlantic Ocean, reports Good News Network.
Departing on December 10th from the Canary Islands, located 62 miles West of Morocco, Africa, Mariam Payne rowed 59 days, 16 hours, and 36 minutes, before arriving in Antigua, an island east of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean Sea, last Friday.
She raised $14,200 for the east Yorkshire charity Wellbeing of Women and Mind.
The journey is described as the toughest endurance event on Earth. No support is allowed—all food, water, and other necessities must be brought along. The organizers of the challenge said, “Sleep deprivation, hallucinations, hunger and the ultimate test of body and mind will be balanced by sighting incredible marine life, witnessing the breaking of a new day, and sunsets that cannot be viewed by land.”
Payne rowed 15 hours per day, alone, in the vast Atlantic Ocean during 86°F days with strong winds.
Before she left, she described her fears.
PAYNE: “The sleep deprivation, seasickness, and dealing with the big waves. But I think a lot of it’s going to be the boredom of it, especially being on my own.”
It would have been a great time to talk to God in prayer, asking for His protection and thanking Him for his beautiful creation.
Psalm 16:1 says, “Keep me safe, my God, for in You I take refuge.”
