A pro-Palestinian activist with Palestine Action, a protest network based in the U.K., vandalized and slashed a 1914 painting of Lord Arthur James Balfour inside Trinity College at the University of Cambridge on Friday. Balfour supported giving Palestinian land back to the Jewish people.
The painting by Philip Alexius de László depicts a portrait of the former prime minister who was the colonial administrator and signatory of the 1917 Balfour Declaration, which was a statement of support for the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.
Billionaire globalist Bill Gates is demanding that governments around the world overrule the best interests of their citizens by mandating his “global digital ID” system.
Gates has been celebrating after India rolled out his sweeping digital ID system that locks citizens out of society if they refuse to sign up for the technology. In India, members of the general public now need to produce digitization of their identity before they can access online services, receive healthcare, interact with their own bank account, or even buy groceries.
Due to the widespread restriction imposed on those who refuse to comply, the nation has seen a rapid uptake of the technology, which Gates argues signals a “great success.”
Last fall, the United National Development Program (UNDP) unveiled a campaign called “50-in-5” that aims to “help” 50 countries “design, launch, and scale components of their digital public infrastructure.”
This effort is one of those where the Gates Foundation shows up as a partner, while the program is supposed to promote a “safe, inclusive, and interoperable DPI” introduction in those countries.
When the campaign was announced, India was mentioned as a “success story” in the world of DPIs.
Meanwhile, Africa was singled out as a particular target for “greater development of DPI.”
Gates is now expecting the governments of major Western nations, including the United States, to mandate his digital IDs for all citizens.
As artificial intelligence shapes more aspects of life, its integration into systems of faith raises new theological questions, and experts say churches need to prepare.
Amazon Prime released an animated series called Hazbin Hotel for the Satanic purpose of enticing our nation's youth to accept the virtues of Hell,
This R-rated animated video (filled with uncensored language) graphically portrays the angels of heaven as the bad guys, and Satan and his minions, including Lilith, Satan's girlfriend, as the good guys.
Artificial Intelligence now is offering a threat to the world's financial system, according to someone who should know, Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler. He said the threat is that a "monoculture" will soon develop, and everyone in industry will be 100% dependent on AI's financial decisions.

The Channel 1 debut, implementing artificial intelligence in the news, will happen amid the election year and follows a report by The Hill on the unprecedented media personnel cuts in 2023. So far this year, 2,681 jobs have been cut across broadcast, digital, and print platforms. This surpasses the 1,808 cuts reported in 2022 and the 1,511 cuts in the preceding year.
Apart from using AI to replace human anchors, some are concerned over how the content will be curated to the audience. AI will generate and display stories designed for each individual, the Daily Mail reported.
"The average person watches 25 minutes of news a night on cable, so that might be 9 or 10 stories," the Daily Mail reported. "If we can generate 500 stories and choose the right 9 or 10 for you, then we're going to do a better job of informing you, showing you what you're looking for in your allotted time. The algorithm would adapt over time to learn a "viewer's preferences and habits."

WASHINGTON — The national debt of the U.S. reached a historic milestone by passing $35 trillion for the first time, less than two weeks before the federal government faces a potential shutdown over a lack of funding authorization.
The debt, which equals the amount of money borrowed by the federal government to cover operating expenses, hit $35 trillion Monday, according to the Treasury Department.
A roughly 50% increase in federal spending between fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2021 contributed to the debt topping $35 trillion, the department said.
Tax cuts, stimulus programs and decreased tax revenue as a result of widespread unemployment during the Covid-19 pandemic were factors in driving government borrowing to new heights.
The issue of the debt is at the center of a standstill in Congress over a spending bill that would sustain the government until the next funding cycle.
Republican lawmakers are pushing for less spending, while Democrats back President Joe Biden’s programs, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, which is estimated to cost more than $1 trillion over the next decade, according to a University of Pennsylvania budget model.
House Republicans on Sunday released their own bill to fund the government until Oct. 31 in exchange for an 8% cut to domestic programs with exceptions for national security, according to NBC News.
But that bill is not expected to pass the Democrat-controlled Senate.
A White House spokesman told CNBC that the debt increase was driven by trillions of dollars in Republican tax cuts “skewed to the wealthy and big corporations” over the past 20 years.
Congress has until Sept. 30 to pass a spending bill.
It's not just other nations that China is spying upon – it is their own people, especially anyone with a faith in anything other than the Chinese state. China has persecuted Christians in the past, censoring and suppressing them, formalizing all sorts of discrimination against them, even jailing and killing them. With the advent of digital AI technology, China's persecution of Christians has reached a new level.
Imagine that someone knows that you're reading this article. They know where you're sitting, and who you're with. They know the last thing you looked at on your phone, the last thing you searched for online, the last time you went to meet people. Your moves are watched – not just by cameras in the street, but online too.
According to Gareth Wallace, Director of Advocacy and Public Affairs for the religious persecution charity Open Doors UK & Ireland, surveillance, whether it's of other countries or its own citizens, is almost second nature to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
"Surveillance is part of the very fabric of life in China; it has 54% of the world's CCTV cameras," Gareth says. "Nine out of the ten most surveiled cities in the world are in China. In one city there are nearly 120 cameras per 1,000 residents – it's a staggering figure."
Many of these CCTV cameras go much further than any we would encounter on our high streets. They can recognize faces, identify someone's race, even someone's mental and emotional state.
Add to this the fact that Chinese citizens are constantly being tracked by their own mobile devices and through state administered apps, like the Covid tracker, brought in with the pandemic and still operational on phones.
Signs of any untrustworthy or unpatriotic behavior (such as large, unregistered meetings, which can be identified by location trackers on phones) are harshly punished, with a person's "social credit score" being adversely affected – this can prevent people from travelling, receiving any state benefits, or being considered for work.
The penalty a Chinese Christian could face for distributing Bibles is far worse than this though. "I could be arrested, interrogated and even imprisoned," says Ming (A Chinese Christian). "But I knew that God called me to share the gospel by distributing Bibles."
"We are not allowed to officially purchase a Bible online," shares Moli*, an Open Doors partner supporting the Chinese church. "Last year, a new regulation that restricts and monitors religious online content was rolled out. Right after that, a lot of religious websites and accounts were blocked or removed, and articles disappeared." She adds that there are ways around this, and Christians are still taking risks to share Christian content and messages.
House churches are illegal. However, even at the state-approved denominations, such as the Three-Self Patriotic Movement, services and church leaders are rigorously monitored.
"Registered churches have cameras installed," says Moli. "Every week, registered churches must have their sermons reviewed, and adjustments in the content are very likely. Some registered churches are unable to preach the gospel fully."
Yet by every account Christianity in China is growing. The number of Christians in China has long surpassed the membership of the Communist Party. Open Doors reports there are almost 100 million Christians in China, about 7% of the nation's population.

George Barna recently released the first national study of Americans’ worldview since the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020. The survey shows that the biblical worldview of American adults has fallen to a mere 4%—a drop of one third from the 6% recorded just three years earlier. The report also revealed that:
A) only 1% of Americans under the age of 40 have a Biblical worldview.
B) just 44% of born-again Christians believe Jesus didn't commit any sins during his life on earth, down from 58% in 2020.
C) the percentage of American Christians who see a God-given calling or purpose for their lives declined by almost half from 88% to 46%."
The report also reveals that the bulk of the American adult population—82%—falls into the “World Citizen” category, describing themselves as people “who may embrace a few biblical principles but generally believe and behave in ways that are acceptable to the world's views.” According to the report, this group has grown substantially from the 69% registered in 2020.

Residents of Vancouver now have a Justin Trudeau-approved, taxpayer-funded summer alternative for their little kiddies: a drag queen summer camp at the Carousel Theatre for Young People.
Children age 7 to 11 and teens age 12 to 17 will get a free drag makeup starter kit for their folks’ $460 and $900 “tuitions,” respectively.
Led by some of Vancouver’s established and emerging drag artists, you’ll learn how to access your inner confidence, show your true colours, and maybe even let out that inner diva!” the website states. “Join some of Vancouver’s most amazing drag artists and learn how drag can brighten up your life!”
Scroll to the bottom of the page, and you’ll discover the theater is supported by the City of Vancouver, the Canada Council for the Arts, British Columbia, and the British Columbia Arts Council.
“According to Government of Canada grant data, Carousel Theatre received federal funding to the tune of $280,849 since 2018,” True North reports.
And if you’re thinking that sending minors off to be groomed by drag queens isn’t such a great idea, why, you’re just denying your closet Queen, “honey.”
“You might be wondering, is drag for kids?” the website concedes. “Drag is for everyone!
As in America, Canada is flaunting drag queens in the faces of its youth.
And in Canada, they are preventing people from even protesting the drag queen story hours.
“Recently, Calgary’s City Council voted for a bylaw which limited drag queen protests around public spaces,” according to True North. “The bylaw prohibits ‘specific protests’ from taking place within 100 metres of an entrance to a city operated or other designated facility such as a library.”
China appears to have had a change of heart about artificial intelligence.
It now wants to integrate the tech into daily life, just days after reports emerged that it had blocked its citizens from accessing viral AI chatbot ChatGPT.
On Friday, officials from China's science and technology ministry said their government attaches "great importance" to the development of artificial intelligence, and will be promoting its integration into the economy and society.
ChatGPT is geo-locked and unavailable to users in China. However, the bot has attracted massive interest in the country where users are using workarounds such as virtual private networks to access ChatGPT.
The Chinese official's comment comes after the country's tech titans Alibaba and Baidu announced plans to develop their own AI chatbots.
Search engine giant Baidu — China's answer to Google — said on Wednesday it plans to launch its own AI chatbot Ernie Bot in March. Baidu CEO Robin Li said in an internal memo seen by Insider that Ernie Bot will be integrated into all of Baidu's operations including its search and cloud services, as well as its smart car operation system.
"AI technology has reached a tipping point and all industries will inevitably go through transformation," Li said in the memo.

Former abortion workers who attended the March for Life in January shared horror stories from inside the abortion industry, including one of a born-alive baby being drowned in a toilet, as well as accounts of the mental health issues workers suffer as a result of partaking in abortion. Abortion industry workers often speak of nightmares and breakdowns following their time in the business. Some still struggle decades later.
“I saw a 26-week baby be born alive inside of our clinic and drowned in a toilet," a former abortion industry worker commented. "I’m sorry to be graphic, but I’m being honest. And that’s when my views definitely changed.” She said she had to make the decision to leave the industry based on if she wanted to live or die because, “It became very depressing. I became very suicidal, and I started realizing that there is another side of this, and I found it.”
Yet another woman spoke about a woman dying from an abortion. “One of our clients passed away at the hospital,” she said. “I believe it was from negligence from the doctor.”
She tells those who still work in the abortion industry, “Get out while you can. I don’t want you to end up like me, going through mental situations, mental issues. I had to learn how to sleep in the dark again. When I was sleeping, that same precious baby boy I watched being aborted I was seeing him in my dreams. I had to learn to deal with that.”
