    The pro-Zionist lobby and allies keep telling us that “Israel has a right to defend itself”.
    The word “defend” is a euphemism for genocide.

    October 7.
    Three responses to the year gone by.

    1/
    Khalil Sayegh, Palestinian Christian
    Lost his father, sister and friends in the past year due to the genocide in Gaza.

    Would all of this change my opinion of the crimes committed on October 7th? My answer was always NO absolutely no.

    2/
    Stephen Kapos, 87-year old Hungarian Jew
    Holocaust survivor

    I say this as a holocaust survivor that the genocide in Gaza is not happening in my name, and in our name.

    3/
    Maoz Inon, Peace Activist, Israeli citizen
    Lost His Parents on October 7, 2023

    Those who believe in war, they are naive, because they have been failing again and again and again,” says Israeli peace activist Maoz Inon, who has been advocating for a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories for the past year. His parents, Bilha and Yakovi, were among those killed on October 7.

    One year on:
    Which side are you on?

    The Zionists?
    or
    Khalil, Stephen and Maoz?

    The Vatican

    Those in the Vatican who long for a new Church free of the demands of the Gospel of Jesus Christ should feel free to begin its founding. You will be able to decide who your founder is and what church you dream of like thousands before you. There are many in the past 500 years that you can model your dream after.

    But please stop trying to corrupt the Church that Christ founded with ideas that contradict His teachings.

    Jesus Christ and His Church, yesterday, today and forever.

    The ongoing Synod in the Vatican is trying to rewrite the teachings of the Church.

    Trump made $300k from selling Bibles – NBC

    A line that caught the eye of NBC News was that the former – and potentially future – American president has earned $300,000 from sales of “The Greenwood Bible,” a customized edition retailing for $59.99 that includes a handwritten chorus of ‘God Bless the USA’ by country singer Lee Greenwood. A limited edition of the Bible bearing Trump’s personal signature sells for $1,000 apiece.

    Trump’s wife Melania has earned over $330,000 from a licensing agreement to sell NFTs, while getting paid over $237,000 for a speaking engagement to Log Cabin Republicans in Florida in 2024.

    State Education Department Seeks Bids for 55,000 Classroom Bibles

    A salesperson at Mardel Christian & Education searched, and though they carry 2,900 Bibles, none fit the parameters.

    But one Bible fits perfectly: Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, endorsed by former President Donald Trump and commonly referred to as the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.

    In an email to CNN, Skyhorse Publishing sent a document labeled, “Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement” that laid out strict terms for an interview and use of material from the book, titled “Melania,” due to publish on October 8. On top of that, the agreement stipulated that “CNN shall pay a licensing fee of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000).”

    Politicians on all sides of the aisle are looking out for their own interests.
    Labor – to get its supply of Muslim votes. Liberals – to grab the Jewish votes.

    What does bipartisan support for Israel mean? This was the motion put forward by Albanese after a failure from both sides to agree. I can’t see anything wrong with it.

    Bitterness set in motion:
    House of Representatives fails on bipartisanship

    Mr Albanese went ahead with Labor’s version, telling parliament: “As we mourn and reflect, we also reaffirm a fundamental principle of our shared humanity that every innocent life matters, every Israeli, every Palestinian, every Lebanese, every single innocent life.”

    Citing the Hamas-controlled Gaza health authority’s figures of more than 40,000 people killed in the territory, Mr Albanese said that the loss of civilian lives in the year-long conflict was “a tragedy of horrific proportions”….

    “In line with the global community, we are pressing the urgent need for de-escalation,” Mr Albanese said. “We repeat our call for all sides to observe international law. Further hostilities put civilians at risk. We cannot accept the callous arithmetic of so-called ¬acceptable casualties.”

    In a comment directed at his political opponents, he added: “Each and every one of us has a responsibility to prevent ¬conflict in the Middle East from being used as a platform for prejudice at home.”

    Mourning the loss of all innocent lives in this conflict does not get bipartisan support?
    Ceasefire and peace are not the goal. It is about one side claiming the victim role – with help from the media.

    We had years of the MSM repeating false claims that Trump was owned by a foreign power – Russia. The Steele dossier was fake, the MSM was fake.

    Today, Trump is openly controlled by a foreign power – Israel.

    So do you hear the MSM even covering that fact? That Trump is controlled by Israel? No one will point to the elephant in the room.

    Control via the media feels a greater betrayal than lack of genuine political representation.

    The UN pretending to care, just before ‘Covid’ was unleashed on the world, called a free press ‘the cornerstone’:

    No democracy is complete without access to transparent and reliable information, said António Guterres, describing unfettered journalism as “the cornerstone for building fair and impartial institutions, holding leaders accountable and speaking truth to power.”

    The theme for 2020 was ‘Journalism without fear or favour’.

    Interesting to note, too, that freedom from fear is one of the
    ‘four fundamental freedoms’ outlined in the Preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    And yet the media, along with the government, stoked fear throughout the months that followed.

    Trump claims he visited Gaza — but there’s no evidence he did

    Former President Donald Trump claimed in a radio interview that he has been to Gaza even though no record of such a visit exists.

    The comment, which Trump made in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that was broadcast on Monday, came in response to a question about whether the occupied territory, which Israel has largely razed to the ground over the last year, could be developed to “be Monaco, if it was rebuilt the right way?”

    “It could be better than Monaco. It has the best location in the Middle East, the best water, the best everything,” Trump responded. “I’ve been there, and it’s rough. It’s a rough place, before the, you know, before all of the attacks and before the back and forth what’s happened over the last couple of years.”

    Asked to clarify, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign told the New York Times that “Gaza is in Israel. President Trump has been to Israel.” …

    The U.S. support of Israel has cost Americans 17.6 trillion dollars when you factor in the compounding interest of all the foreign aid plus the “war on terror.” So if we did not support Israel, every American household would have an extra $200,000 in cash, let that sink in.

    The Grayzone
    @TheGrayzoneNews

    Jeremy Loffredo remains in Israeli jail.

    Officially, police are holding him “on suspicion of serious security offenses for publicly publishing… the locations of missile drops near or inside sensitive security facilities, with the aim of bringing this to the notice of the enemy and thereby assisting them in their future attacks.”

    The charges stem from Jeremy’s report for @TheGrayzoneNews showing the aftermath of Iranian attacks on military and intelligence targets inside Israel—the same exact locations which were openly featured in reports broadcast on ABC News and PBS, neither of which currently face such charges.

    Originally, the judge overseeing Jeremy’s case ordered him released, saying that since Israeli military censors agreed to allow Israeli media to publish both “word of [Jeremy’s] arrest and the publications that led to his arrest,” Israel could “no longer justify his continued detention.”

    However, police appealed this decision. For now, Jeremy remains in custody, and his appeal hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.

    The Grayzone unequivocally rejects these outrageous accusations from Israeli police. We stand by Jeremy’s legitimate reporting. The claim that Loffredo and The Grayzone represent Israel’s enemy in wartime merely suggests that the Israeli government views the American people and free press as a legitimate target. We represent no one else. We will fight these charges, and ask that you contact the State Department and urge them to act in defense of their citizen detained in Israel. The US has an obligation to defend its journalists who are merely adhering to their ethical obligation to inform the public of pertinent facts.”

    Israeli settlers force Palestinian olive farmers from land in West Bank

    The Wafa news agency reports that armed Israeli settlers forced olive farmers off their land in Jalud village, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, on Saturday morning, amid threats that included “opening fire in the area”.

    Threats, attacks, theft of olives and the destruction of olive trees by settlers have escalated in the West Bank with the arrival of the harvest season, Wafa reports.

    On Thursday, Israeli right group Yesh Din released video footage of an armed Israeli settler openly stealing the olive harvest from a privately owned farm in the Palestinian town of Awarta, southeast of Nablus.

    Each year at harvest time, Palestinians face a heightened wave of attacks and damage to their trees, the rights group said. Israeli soldiers are often present during such violence and sometimes join in attacks on Palestinian farmers, Yesh Din said.

    Apologies in advance that these few posts are a little long, but not sure if people can access unsubscribed, and I found the content compelling

    Delingpod – Psalm 121 – William Philip

    40min mark – On people coming to faith after losing trust in institutions

    People are waking up to a lot of things, which is eroding their confidence and trust in a lot of what they’ve previously believed or taken for granted, a lot of the institutions that they’ve had trust in. And if you begin to think, I’m not sure I can trust anybody or anything anymore, that’s a terribly unnerving situation.

    And so people I think are and have been seeking for that truth. So yeah, we’ve seen a lot of people coming to faith. And I think one of the things for Christians and for churches to learn from that is that when you’re not ashamed of your message, when you don’t hide away, when you’re willing to stand up and say, I’m sorry, society, you’ve got it wrong. You’re talking lies. This is deceitful. What you’re saying is not just wrong, it’s wicked. We’ve got a better story to tell here. We’ve got the truth here and we’re unashamed of it. People will actually start to listen because they’re looking for authenticity.

    46min – On obeying God rather than men, and not bearing false witness by wearing face masks and closing churches

    There are times we have to obey God rather than men, and I think people are a little bit woolly sometimes on what that means. You know, the apostles and the Lord Jesus himself they were all put to death by the state. The state didn’t like them, and they considered that they were disobeying the state by doing things that God commanded them to do, like not stopping preaching the gospel. And I think we have to be a little bit more clear on what it means when we have to obey God.

    I mean, God does command us not to bear false witness to our neighbors. I was not prepared to bear false witness to my neighbors by wearing a piece of cloth on my face as if to pretend to them and encourage them to think that this was somehow a way of being safe when it manifestly is not a way of being safe. It’s actually going to do anything. It’s going to probably make you more likely to become ill.

    Staying away from corporate worship when that is the one thing that we’re commanded not to do. When Hebrews tells them not to give up meeting together, …why didn’t they want to meet together? Well, because it was risky to get together. They might have been imprisoned or they might have been persecuted. They might have been killed. But he said, don’t give up because you need this. It’s so important. So it was important, I think, for Christian leaders not to bear false witness by going along with things which were deceitful and which were full of lies, which were actually harmful to people. I understand why a lot of people were confused and nervous. They were propagandized by the government into being nervous.

    Yeah, well, I mean, propaganda is very powerful, isn’t it? And, you know, the Lord Jesus in Matthew 24, when he’s talking about the times after his resurrection, the last days, as he calls it, there will be deceivers. And if it were even possible, some of the elect will be deceived. And I think a lot of Christians have been deceived… But that is why we constantly need the correction and the drawing back to the truth of Scripture…

    I mean, the Bible and the Christian gospel is in a very real sense the ultimate cognitive therapy. Cognitive therapy is about drawing you back into thinking in line with reality, not with something that is spurious and is leading you off into a completely wrong kind of thinking and anxiety and so on. But coming back to the Bible week by week, more than week by week, but especially week by week as the gathered people of God, is the Lord’s antidote to the lies and the deceit and the leading away of the evil one.

    50min On the Church’s place and focus – “not the things that will kill the body, but the things that can destroy the soul” – Christian persecution, censorship, and the sifting “of those who truly are followers of Christ, those who are just followers of an idea or a kind of emasculated Christ”

    I think those who do take the Bible seriously, some have been misguided because they feel, well, we don’t want to put people off. We don’t want to be seen as renegades. We don’t want to be seen as, you know, going against the government and the population, so sort of softly, softly, as it were. As I said, I think that’s a great mistake because I think people just take from that, well, it obviously isn’t that important.

    If the message we have is more important than anything else in the world, then even if we were facing a deadly killer that was killing swathes and swathes of people, as some of the plagues in history have done. Even if that were true, then the place of the Christian church is to be in the midst of that, talking about life and death and eternity and heaven and hell and the things of utmost importance, not the things that will kill the body, but the things that can destroy the soul. And that’s what’s happened in the past.

    I think the bottom line is, We’ve had a long, long time of peace and prosperity and ease, and we’ve grown very soft, I’m afraid. And I think that’s just a big part of it. I go to, I won’t say where it is, another part of the world every year to meet with and to teach pastors in a country where Christianity is being very, very increasingly persecuted. And that faces me with the reality of what Christian life has been like throughout most of history and is actually still like in most of the world today.

    I think the problem is that in our country, we’ve lived through an anomaly. We’ve lived through the aftermath of a great Christianization of our culture….But I think the Christian church has fallen asleep because of that….

    I mean, in our church, on Wednesday evening, we had a partner from the northeast of India with us…telling us some horrific things. He was showing us terrible pictures of extraordinary persecution of Christians, coffins and coffins, rows and rows, churches burnt down, people dispossessed, lost their houses because of their faith.

    And that’s the reality, but we’ve been sanitized and screened from that, and therefore we’ve just become very earthbound in our thinking. And perhaps the way things are going in society and with the ratcheting up of some of the ideological battles, the censuring, the censorship, all of these things, it’s going to be a testing time, I think, for the church. And maybe that is what we need in the West, not what we want, and we certainly shouldn’t be you know, in a kind of odd way, longing for persecution. I’m certainly not longing for that, but I’m afraid history would probably tell you that it’s these sorts of times that really draw out the faith of God’s people and also sifts the reality of those who truly are followers of Christ, those who are just followers of an idea or a kind of emasculated Christ.

    This bears repeating, as so rarely heard, to this day, in the faith context (or any other), but exactly how an ordinary, ‘awake’ Christian thought and felt:

    There are times we have to obey God rather than men…I was not prepared to bear false witness to my neighbors by wearing a piece of cloth on my face as if to pretend to them and encourage them to think that this was somehow a way of being safe when it manifestly is not a way of being safe.

    And, whereas some Church leaders vacantly intoned that shutting Church doors on the isolated, propagandised, terrorised faithful was “the most loving thing to do”…

    …it was important, I think, for Christian leaders not to bear false witness by going along with things which were deceitful and which were full of lies, which were actually harmful to people.

    And that’s without even touching on the poisonous “vaccines”.

    In all the time since, no apparent repentance or even acknowledgement of the enormity of the sins: at best a damning silence, or perhaps a passing concession or two; at worst, noisy deflection to, or conflation with, other troubles, real or imagined – anything, anywhere but here – and a mindlessly repeated insistence on “Covid conspiracy theories”.

    RON UNZ • SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 • 20,500 WORDS

    https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-understanding-world-war-ii/

    Example:

    … Until recently, my familiarity with Churchill had been rather cursory, and Irving’s revelations were absolutely eye-opening. Perhaps the most striking single discovery was the remarkable venality and corruption of the man, with Churchill being a huge spendthrift who lived lavishly and often far beyond his financial means, employing an army of dozens of personal servants at his large country estate despite frequently lacking any regular and assured sources of income to maintain them. This predicament naturally put him at the mercy of those individuals willing to support his sumptuous lifestyle in exchange for determining his political activities. And somewhat similar pecuniary means were used to secure the backing of a network of other political figures from across all the British parties, who became Churchill’s close political allies.

    To put things in plain language, during the years leading up to the Second World War, both Churchill and numerous other fellow British MPs were regularly receiving sizable financial stipends—cash bribes—from Jewish and Czech sources in exchange for promoting a policy of extreme hostility toward the German government and actually advocating war. The sums involved were quite considerable, with the Czech government alone probably making payments that amounted to tens of millions of dollars in present-day money to British elected officials, publishers, and journalists working to overturn the official peace policy of their existing government. A particularly notable instance occurred in early 1938 when Churchill suddenly lost all his accumulated wealth in a foolish gamble on the American stock-market, and was soon forced to put his beloved country estate up for sale to avoid personal bankruptcy, only to quickly be bailed out by a foreign Jewish millionaire intent upon promoting a war against Germany. Indeed, the early stages of Churchill’s involvement in this sordid behavior are recounted in an Irving chapter aptly entitled “The Hired Help.”

    UK tribunal rules that anti-Zionist academic was unfairly dismissed

    An employment tribunal in the UK has published its judgement on why a professor who the University of Bristol dismissed over allegations of making anti-semitic remarks was unfairly discriminated against.

    Professor David Miller, who lectured on political sociology, had told the panel he thought Zionism was “inherently racist, imperialist and colonial”.

    The panel found his views “worthy of respect in a democratic society”.

    Employment judge Rohan Pirani said that although many would “vehemently and cogently disagree” with Miller’s view of politics and history, “others have the same or similar beliefs”.

    He said that Miller’s opposition to Zionism “is not opposition to the idea of Jewish self-determination or of a preponderantly Jewish state existing in the world, but rather, as he defines it, to the exclusive realisation of Jewish rights to self-determination within a land that is home to a very substantial non-Jewish population”.

    Australian sanctions on Iran ‘hypocritical’: Jewish advocacy group

    The Jewish Council of Australia has called on the Australian government to “use all possible pressure to stop Israel committing the crime of genocide”, including through sanctions, after the Australian government announced new sanctions on Iran.

    The progressive Jewish group highlighted that more than 400,000 people are at “severe risk of starvation in northern Gaza”, where no food has entered since October 1, according to the World Food Programme.

    Australian foreign minister “Penny Wong’s issuing of new sanctions on Iran today is hypocritical in the extreme”, said Max Kaiser, the executive officer of the Jewish Council of Australia.

    “We are still waiting for the Australian government to take any substantial action against the Israeli government,” Kaiser added.

    It is horrific, kaysee. The Middle Eastern atrocities are loudly, graphically splattered across mainstream publications and news feeds day in and day out. It’s not that all those innocent people’s suffering doesn’t rightly command attention; of course it does. However helplessly we must witness it. But there the MSM gladly gives the attention, feeds the ‘horror show’. For its own agenda.

    The Covid “vaccine” carnage and the lingering effects of lockdown trauma etc, are ‘silent’, or muted.

    US Elections: The Big Con

    The US political system is in a very messed-up place. The two leading contenders for the Presidency are unfit for the role. These are the best candidates that America had to offer in a contest for the top job in the country?

    The Democrats? We know what the Dems stand for. They don’t pretend to be anything other than left-leaning, progressive wokeists. No surprises. But the Republicans are supposed to be the party that holds values on the right side of the political aisle. They are Conservatives. How did they end up with a Democrat as a candidate?

    I’ve written long rants on that with links and details. But a few points here:

    1/ Before the 2020 election, there were indications that Trump would lose the election. So his team devised the strategy of “stolen election”.

    2/ After the election, advisers on his team informed him that he had lost the election. He refused to accept this and instead of following the Constitution and rules and allow a peaceful transfer of power, he attempted to disrupt the process with the January 6 rally.

    3/ It should never have happened. Rally, riots, incitement, injuries, deaths, imprisonment, threats to people’s lives including the VP, treating the law making centre of the country with such disrespect.

    4/ A stolen election fund was set up under the excuse of fighting lawsuits related to the election. $250 million was raised but this fund was not used. Where did these millions disappear?

    5/ For nearly 4 years, Trump kept claiming the election was stolen from him. Yet there is not enough evidence to support that. He knew he had lost the election and only last month stated it. But he used that as reason to be the nominee for 2024, uncontested.

    6/ The Maga influencers and politicians (including those who hate him) supported and endorsed him because they were selfishly looking out for their own interests not what was best for America. There is a whole line up of them: Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk, Glenn Beck, Candace Owens, Steve Bannon ….. too many to name. They have been grifting under the Maga banner.

    7/ The Maga cult who will support anything Trump does. So they voted for him. No reasoning required. No analysis. Just a blind belief that this man is going to save America. He didn’t do it in the four years that he was President but they believe that he is going to do it this time around.

    For the past few years, the Maga influencers have been trying to depict Trump as someone who is fighting the Deep State and that they will try to assassinate him.

    They have discussed this in interviews. These high profile influencers are encouraging rioting and a civil war.

    July 13. They say, look it happened. We warned about it. Then there is a second “attempt”. And now claims of a third “attempt” which is even stranger since the “assassin” is supposed to be a Trump supporter. The seriousness of assassinations has now turned into something trivial.

    Then, there are some very high profile influencers also saying that there have been assassination attempts on trump but not on Kamala. What irresponsible statements.

    There are also predictions of foul play in the coming elections. So which ever side wins, the other side can claim there was cheating and refuse to accept the verdict. JD Vance says that he would not have certified the 2020 election. If the Dems don’t like the results of the 2024 election, Kamala can refuse to certify the election. Then she can get sworn in as President 47 on Jan 20.

    Why have elections anyway? Forget democracy.

    The criteria applied for people being picked for his Admin, should he win, is based on loyalty. The kiss-my-boots kind of loyalty. Not the best people for the job and the country. Not merit. Not experience. Just making sure that the people working under him are: Yes Sir, No Sir, Whatever you say, Sir.

    Good leaders, Great leaders, pick the best people for the role because they are looking at achieving end results. They are not looking for self-gratification.

    The most depressing part is that even with so much proof and evidence, there are still those who are so emotionally invested in the Con that is Don, they are still cheering for him. They are clinging to Magadonia land and the belief that Trump is going to do wonderful things for America and turn it great again. He didn’t do it during his first term when the GOP had House and Senate. If he wins the election, he has no need to keep his promises. He doesn’t need or care about votes. All that matters to him is his own gain and profit. Being liked and popular.

    All those who are truly America First – influencers, politicians, voters – would recognise that Trump had been given two opportunities – 2016, 2020. That it was time for change in 2024.

    If the GOP had picked a better candidate, it would have been an obvious contrast of the incompetent Kamala vs a smart opponent.

    But here’s to the 2024 election. Two Democrats.

    Poor Benny Wong, all talk no action:

    Normally I’d be on the side of a speaker being rudely interrupted but the sheer arrogance…

    …a “final chance, please, for us all to benefit from the Foreign Minister’s remarks”

    Pffffffft…they have no idea of how arrogant they appear…

    Genocide in Israel.

    Democide here at home.

    But a “rare opportunity to benefit from the Foreign Minister’s remarks”…

    I think one of the hecklers pointed out that sanctions on Russia went on immediately, but never for Israel.

    Good point. Wong knew from day one that Australia would never sanction Israel. Australia has very little autonomy, we are controlled. It’s just theatre – Red ZOG v Blue ZOG.

    Email from George Christensen

    They believe killing babies is a “right”.

    Dear friend,

    Let me be clear—what’s happening right now in Queensland, Australia, is nothing short of barbaric. Labor is campaigning in the state election on “protecting abortion rights,” claiming their extreme laws, which allow for the killing of babies right up to birth, are at risk of being wound back. They’re trying to scare voters with this lie. The truth is, both Labor and the LNP are terrified of real change on this issue. Labor thinks the public will reject pro-life reforms, and the LNP is too gutless to even consider challenging the status quo.

    Under Queensland law, legalised by the Termination of Pregnancy Act 2018, abortions are allowed on demand up to 22 weeks for ANY reason. But it doesn’t stop there. After 22 weeks, all it takes is for two doctors—who can be employed by the abortion clinic itself, profiteering from this slaughter—to sign off, claiming the mother’s “social circumstances” justify ending the baby’s life. That’s all. Financial stress or even the idea that the baby might interfere with her lifestyle is enough.

    They are calling this a “right.” The right to kill an unborn child who could survive outside the womb.

    Labor has stooped to using the lives of unborn children to grab votes in this Queensland state election. They want you to think protecting the life of a baby is somehow a threat to women’s rights. How did we get to the point where protecting innocent life is treated like a problem?

    The fake news media is in lockstep with Labor. They’re targeting LNP candidates, hounding them over the abortion issue like opposing these laws is some sort of crime. They’re trying to make you believe the pro-life position is extreme. But you and I know that’s a lie. A 2018 YouGov poll found that 76% of Queenslanders oppose abortion after 23 weeks. But if you listen to the media, you’d think that opposing late-term abortion makes you an extremist.

    And why aren’t the LNP responding with any substance to this lie? Instead, they’ve capitulated. They’ve chosen the coward’s path, claiming they “have no plans to change the existing laws.” What an absolute joke. These politicians know it’s wrong. They’ll claim to be pro-life when it suits them, but when they should be standing up for life, they’re silent. Gutless. They’re terrified of the media, terrified of losing votes, terrified of Labor’s attacks. If they can’t speak up now, what makes you think they’ll fight to change these laws if they win?

    This isn’t just about Queensland. This betrayal of life is happening everywhere. Look at the Liberals across Australia—they refuse to touch the abortion issue. Look at the Republicans in the US. They make promises about defending life, but when they get into power, they abandon those promises. And the Tories in the UK? They’ve done the same, abandoning their base. It’s the same story worldwide—these so-called conservatives are selling out the unborn. They’re betraying you.

    They don’t care about life. They care about power. The most basic right—the right to life—is being thrown aside because they don’t have the courage to defend it. This right is real. It’s not some made-up “right” like Labor’s abortion nonsense. Without life, no other rights matter.

    Now, it’s time to face what actually happens during a late-term abortion. If you’d rather not know, I suggest skipping the next four paragraphs.

    The procedure begins with the mother lying on the table, sedated and unaware. Instruments will be arranged, cold and sterile. Her womb, where her baby has been growing for months, will be prepared. The baby will be fully developed, with tiny limbs capable of movement and a heart that has been beating steadily since early in the pregnancy.

    A long pair of forceps will be inserted into the womb. The metal tool will grasp the baby’s small leg—perfectly formed and delicate—and twist. The leg will break away from the body with a harsh snap. Another leg will follow, torn from the baby with the same force. The forceps will then clamp down on one of the baby’s tiny arms, fragile yet complete, and pull it away from the body. The remaining arm will be grasped and yanked off as well, one small part of the baby at a time, dismembering the child piece by piece.

    Next, the baby’s torso will be targeted. The little ribcage, which has been protecting a beating heart, will be crushed under pressure. The bones will crack and collapse as the forceps squeeze down, and blood and amniotic fluid will spill from the mother’s womb as the crushed remains of the baby’s body are removed. Finally, only the baby’s head will remain. It will be too large to be removed whole, so the skull will have to be crushed. The forceps will clamp down, and the skull will cave in with a loud pop. Brain matter will spill out as the head, now a distorted mass of broken bones and tissue, is pulled from the womb.

    Once the procedure is complete, the baby’s body parts—small legs, tiny arms, the crushed torso, and shattered skull—will be laid out on a tray to ensure nothing is left inside the mother’s womb. What had been a living baby, with a beating heart and developing limbs, will be reduced to pieces on a cold metal tray. The silence in the room will be broken only by the sound of instruments being cleaned, the remains of the baby discarded and forgotten.

    If you dare, here’s a video with an animated recreation of the procedure: …

    Now that you’ve seen the ugly truth, it’s even more shocking that Labor, the media, and their allies are pretending this is acceptable. No amount of sanitised language can cover up what really happens to these innocent babies.

    This is not healthcare. It’s murder. And Labor is using this horror for political gain.

    Meanwhile, the LNP is too weak to speak up. And it’s not just them. The Liberals, Republicans, and Tories—they’re all cowards. They won’t defend the most vulnerable among us, the babies who have no voice. If they won’t stand up for the unborn, who will?

    You know what needs to be done. It’s time to stop supporting these weak parties. It’s time to back the candidates and parties who are truly pro-life and aren’t afraid to say it. We cannot fail the unborn. The so-called conservatives are doing nothing. It’s up to us to demand better.

    Support pro-life candidates. Support pro-life parties. Don’t give your vote to cowards. The right to life is not negotiable, and it’s time for leaders who will fight for it, no matter the cost.

    Until next time, God bless you, your family and nation.

    Take care,

    George Christensen
