The cost of *one stitch* at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital?

USA - You know how it is. You buy a new knife and you forget how sharp new knives are and, before you know it, you’ve sliced an inch-deep cut in the webbing of your dominant right hand. There was nowhere to go but the emergency room at Zuckerberg San Francisco General. He sat for a few hours, was visited by medical personnel for a few cumulative minutes, and ended up with a single stitch in his hand. It was, at most, a five-minute procedure. Then the bill arrived: $3,321.47.

 
Illegals in NC commit sex crimes against children

USA - Illegal immigrants are committing a staggering number of sex crimes against children in North Carolina and elsewhere, and experts believe the problem is likely far worse than they’re able to document. Over the nearly 5 years, Johnson has documented an average of 34 illegal immigrants per month who have been charged with 151 counts of raping or sexually assaulting a child in the Tar Heel State. “It’s happening in every state – we just happen to be compiling the information for North Carolina,” Johnson said. “It’s a mess.” The National Sexual Violence Resource Center cites a study that shows only about 12 percent of child rape cases are reported, which means the actual number of children sexually abused by illegal immigrants in the state could be nearly 10 times that total. And that’s in North Carolina alone.

 
Republicans refuse to defend kids from library drag queens

USA - Angry local parents in Lexington Park, Maryland, led by a MassResistance-Maryland mother, stormed their local County Commission meeting on Tuesday evening, July 9. With strongly-worded, outraged testimony, they demanded that the officials deal with the horror at their local public library.

World Of Naked Lies

USA - Lying seems to be the foundation of human intelligence and civilization. Robert Fisk writes, “We do not live in a ‘post-truth’ world, neither in the Middle East nor in the West – nor in Russia, for that matter. We live in a world of lies. And we always have lived in a world of lies.” Anyone alive today that believes we are living in a world of truth, justice and love needs to have their heads examined. We live in a world of lies and half-truths, which are really the same or worse than outright lies, because they confuse the human mind. Lies cause unmeasurable amounts of human suffering and lead people to early graves.

Emmanuel Macron calls for 'Europe of defence'

FRANCE - Immanuel Macron presided over a show of European force at France’s annual Bastille Day military parade on Sunday, calling for a “Europe of defence” alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel and leaders from the continent. The French president has argued for greater military co-operation in the bloc as the US cannot be relied upon to guarantee security under Donald Trump. “Never, since the end of the Second World War, has Europe been so important,” Mr Macron said in a statement issued to mark July 14, the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress and prison by revolutionary forces in 1789. “The construction of a Europe of defence, in connection with the Atlantic Alliance ... is a priority for France. It is the theme of this parade,” Mr Macron said. The centrist French president has promoted the European Intervention Initiative as a step towards the “true European army” which he says is needed.

 
MIDDLE EAST: US to launch plan for 'free passage' of ships

MIDDLE EAST - The United States is concerned that a "miscalculation" by Iran could cause an "unintended conflict" in the Gulf, as it prepares to launch a new surveillance and intelligence initiative with its allies to ensure "free and open passage" for ships. "We are starting a concept called Sentinel in which we will have a series of countries engaged to preserve the free and open passage of commerce in the Strait of Hormuz and in the Persian Gulf," US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy John Rood said at the Aspen Security Forum on Saturday. The US has had discussions with NATO allies, some "partners in the Gulf" and others to join the effort to keep the "vital waterway" open, said Rood, adding that the new operation would "come into being over the coming days and weeks". Will tension in the Gulf spiral out of control?

 
Ursula von der Leyen is a fanatical European federalist

UK - For years, I [Nigel Farage] have warned of the EU’s desire to become a fully militarised entity in its own right. The response to this assertion from the Remain establishment has always been the same: outright denial. Indeed, every time I have advanced this idea, I have been accused of being a liar and scaremongerer. Most memorably, in April 2014, then-deputy prime minister Nick Clegg even claimed during a televised debate we had that my prediction was a “dangerous fantasy”.

New European Commission president gives up on her dream

EUROPE - Ursula von der Leyen, the next president of the European Commission, has claimed she no longer supports the creation of a United States of Europe. Mrs von der Leyen was accused of being a fanatical federalist by Brexiteers after her appointment was confirmed on Tuesday. “My goal is the United States of Europe, based on the model of the federal states of Switzerland, Germany or the US,” she said in 2011. But in an interview with a group of European newspapers published today, she said her dream “has become more mature and more realistic.” “In the European Union we have unity in diversity. That is something different to federalism. I think that is the right path,” Mrs von der Leyen said.

 
The World’s Most Important Chokepoint

MIDDLE EAST - Most of the players in the Gulf, from Qatar to Saudi Arabia to Iran, share a desire to keep the game from getting out of control. Despite crushing sanctions, Iran knows that it would not benefit from a war. That’s why Tehran has often vehemently denied responsibility for the recent attacks on Western shipping in the strait. Yet to avoid escalation at the last minute, as President Donald Trump did when he rightly called off an attack on Iran in reaction to the downing of a US unmanned drone, is not enough.

The Shameful Truth

USA - The shameful truth: America only put a man on the moon with the help of Nazi monsters - not that anyone will admit it amid all the hype about the 50-year anniversary. Watching the Moon landing 50 years ago from his comfortable Paris home, Yves Beon could barely contain himself at the spectacle unfolding on TV. Dozens of white-shirted scientists and engineers at the Apollo Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas, were on their feet, many waving flags, cheering at a triumph that was enhancing American prestige and unleashing an ocean of apple-pie patriotism.

Opioid pills: The data is out — and it’s horrific

USA - Between 2006 and 2012, opioid drug makers and distributors flooded the country with 76 billion pills of oxycodone and hydrocodone — highly addictive opioid pain medications that sparked the epidemic of abuse and overdoses that killed nearly 100,000 people in that time period. As the epidemic surged over the seven-year period, so did the supply. The companies increased distribution from 8.4 billion in 2006 to 12.6 billion in 2012, a jump of roughly 50%. In all, the deluge of pills was enough to supply every adult and child in the country with around 36 opioid pills per year. Just a 10-day supply can hook 1 in 5 people into being long-term users, researchers have determined. Data from years beyond 2012 are still being withheld to protect the companies and DOJ investigations. From 1999 to 2017, nearly 400,000 people in the US died from an opioid overdose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

 
The Tale of rBGH, Milk, Monsanto

USA - Organic milk is produced by cows who eat feed free of animal by-products from slaughter, and free of antibiotics, pesticides and hormones, like rBGH. Though its use is banned in Europe and Canada, rBGH is a genetically engineered hormone that was approved for use in the US in 1993 by the Food and Drug Administration. In other words, it hasn’t always been in our food supply. And it doesn’t deserve a place in it now. RGBH was first developed by the agricultural biotech corporation Monsanto to increase milk output in dairy cows. Monsanto’s production history includes the notoriously dangerous Agent Orange, PCB, Terminator seed: a sterile seed forcing farmers to purchase additional seed each year, Roundup: one of the most commonly used pesticides worldwide, and the pesticide DDT.

 
Experts call ban on 'seriously flawed' artificial sweetener

UK - British experts have cast doubt on the safety of an artificial sweetener used in thousands of products including big brand diet soft drinks from Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Academics at the University of Sussex claim that an EU food watchdog assessment giving a clean bill of health to ASPARTAME, a calorie-free sugar alternative, was seriously flawed. Professor Erik Millstone, who has been a long-time critic of the additive, argues that there are many scientific studies that raise legitimate safety questions together with circumstantial evidence of neurological harm. As a result, he is calling for the suspension of authorisation to sell or use aspartame in the EU pending an independent investigation. According to all leading health authorities in the world, as well as Cancer Research UK and Diabetes UK, low- and no-calorie sweeteners are safe.

 
Peace Is About To Be Taken From The Earth

USA - Why aren’t more Americans concerned that we could be on the verge of an apocalyptic war with Iran? If there was still any doubt, what happened on Friday made it exceedingly clear that we are literally on the brink of seeing World War 3 erupt in the Middle East. And as I detailed yesterday, a war with Iran wouldn’t be anything like our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. If the American people truly understood what a war with Iran would be like, there would be millions of protesters in front of the White House right now trying to stop it from happening.

What is Communism?

USA - Their agenda is to protect their money monopoly by extending it into a monopoly over everything - power, knowledge, culture, religion - by re-engineering humanity to serve them. This is the real meaning of Communism. This requires the breakdown of nation, race, religion (God) and family (gender). This is why Western nations are flooded by migrants. Why Communist and LGBT values are foisted on children. Why universities have been neutered. Why corporations and banks promote migration and homosexuality. Why the foreign policy of the West is bent on destroying any resistance (Russia, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Korea.) Society is satanically possessed. Why do so few "pundits" get this? The process of human re-engineering has advanced to the point where society is an accomplice in its own destruction.

“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
