THE COERCED, THE COWARDLY, AND THE CORRUPT

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Australian Group Exposes Infringements of Christians’ Religious Freedom. An Australian Christian advocacy organization launched a database and released a report exposing infringements on Christians’ religious freedom in the country. The Canberra Declaration “on March 11, launched the Australian Christian Freedom Index (ACFI) with a report on anti-Christian currents in 2025.”

Canada Poised to Declare Quoting the Bible a Hate Crime. In what former Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer called “a dark day for free speech in Canada, the House of Commons passed a bill that could criminalize quoting Bible passages if they’re deemed to be hateful. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it will almost certainly be approved since that body primarily consists of appointees of former Liberal PM Trudeau.

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Politico Backtracks After Using Antisemitic Tropes In Cartoon Lambasting Trump, Republicans, and Netanyahu Over Iran. Politico posted a cartoon that drew outrage from conservatives and the Jewish community. Israeli PM Netanyahu is depicted with an exaggerated nose, while dining with President Trump and Republicans at a table covered in blood on a boat going over a waterfall. They’re wearing blood-drenched Jewish prayer shawls.

The Evils of Islam

War on Civilization: ‘Israel Cannot Outsource Its Survival.’ A MUST READ. Israel cannot outsource its survival, and the US can’t pretend totalitarian jihadism can be “managed” indefinitely. Either you dismantle the infrastructure of terror, or it regrows. Israel’s enemies are imposing a war on civilization. The West won’t be defeated by lack of power. It will be defeated, if it’s defeated, by refusal to oppose danger when they see it.

Experts Warn of Homegrown Jihadism and Spread of Sharia Law. In the weeks following the US strike on Iran, there were terrorist attacks by Islamists in four states. “These recent attacks come after 49,000 terror attacks around the world since 9/11. People in other religions don’t carry out terror attacks. Islam calls for warfare against unbelievers. No other religion has anything like that.” Muslims are called to move to other countries but not assimilate. The goal is eventual world takeover.

Syria: Christians, Other Minorities Under Genocidal Attack During Leadership of Ahmed Al-Sharaa. Christians in Syria are under attack by Islamic groups affiliated with the jihadist regime, headed by al-Sharaa, former al-Qaeda leader. Following al-Sharaa’s Dec 2024 seizure of power in Syria, persecution of religious minorities, including Christians, Druze and Alawites, has skyrocketed as Syria undergoes a process of radical Islamization. Also see Christians in Syria cautiously scale back Easter celebrations after violent attacks.

Iran regime uses war to mask ‘brutal’ execution surge against political opponents. Rights groups say the Iranian regime is on track to beat last year’s record number of executions, with 657 in the first three months of this year alone

Egypt’s Dangerous Muslim Brotherhood Organization. Muslim Brotherhood presents itself to the West as a network of charities, activists, community leaders, and political organizers. Yet, everywhere, it’s linked to terrorist activities. By failing to designate it as a terrorist organization in its entirety, Western gov’ts allow it to entrench itself politically, financially, and socially within Western societies.

Pervasive Perversion

Your Therapist Is Being Told To ‘Affirm’ Child Transgenderism. America’s most influential psychological association, The American Psychological Association (APA) still recommends children receive so-called gender affirming medical interventions, despite downplaying its support of child transgenderism in a letter to government officials investigating fraud in pediatric gender medicine.

AMA: We Didn’t Mean It When We Said Kids Shouldn’t Get Gender Surgery. In early February, the American Medical Association told multiple news outlets that “surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.” In a recent newsletter, however, the AMA’s board of trustees categorically denied that the AMA had changed its policy on gender surgery and accused “reporters” of mischaracterizing the organization’s stance.

LGBTQ group rolls out ‘Rainbow Ribbon’ program with curriculum requirements in Maryland school district. Defending Education uncovered ties between a Maryland school district and a local LGBTQ+ advocacy group looking to reward schools for meeting LGBTQ requirements regarding curriculum and affinity groups.

Last Days Traitors

Communists, Democrats use #NoKings rally to call for May Day strike. Communist and socialist activists at the nationwide “No Kings” protests escalated their anti-America campaign and openly called for a nationwide economic strike on May 1, a communist holiday, as key Democratic activists joined their call.

Why Is Today’s Democratic Party So “Heartless”? Today’s Democrats are “heartless” because they prioritize power, and that power lust overrides other considerations. Republican politicians are largely driven by power motivations, too, but cater to a different group: the more patriotic, more traditional Americans. Yet there’s another, deeper difference: morality. It’s apparent that leftists are low-virtue people. And conservatives, though not perfect, are higher-virtue people.

Vance tapped as ‘fraud czar’ as Trump targets blue states over taxpayer theft. VP Vance will address an “unprecedented” problem in Democrat-run states. His fraud task force busted an alleged $50 million hospice and healthcare fraud scheme in Los Angeles. Trump said Vance’s focus would be “EVERYWHERE” but with a special emphasis on Democrat-controlled states.

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemics

New Study: Myocarditis Affects ONLY Covid “Vaccinated” Youths
Analysis of the first 15 months of Germany’s Covid pandemic found that zero healthy children died of Covid. In this vein, epidemiologist Dr. Knut Wittkowski stated in Mar-May 2020 that children would be largely unaffected by Covid. The response was censorship. Biden admin. authorities insisted even children and babies be given the largely untested Covid “vaccines.”

Economic and Food Insecurity

World food price rise set to continue if Iran war lasts, FAO says. World food prices climbed in March to highest level since ‌last Sept; could rise further if conflict that pushed up energy prices continues. “Price rises since the conflict began have been modest, driven mainly by higher oil ​prices and cushioned by ample global cereal supplies.”

Weather Events

Heat wave smashes 4,000 records; hottest March in 7 states. During the unprecedented mid-March heat wave in the central and western US, over 4,000 daily records and over 1,700 monthly records were broken. Seven states preliminarily set their highest March temps ever.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

U.S. fighter jet downed over Iran, one pilot rescued, one still missing. An Iranian regional governor offered a bounty for its crew. A U.S. aircraft that was mobilized to support the search and rescue mission was also struck by Iranian fire. That aircraft made it to Kuwaiti airspace, where the pilot ejected and the aircraft crashed.

Over 3,500 US Troops Arrive in Middle East as Houthis Enter War. Over 3,500 U.S. troops arrived in the Middle East, officials announced on Mar. 28, as strikes in the Iran war intensified. Iran-backed Houthis launched their first missile barrage on Israel since Operation Epic Fury. Red Sea shipping could once again be under direct threat.

More key US allies block military flights as Iran war rift widens with Trump. More key European allies are restricting U.S. military access as the Trump administration presses ahead with its war against Iran. France and Spain moved to block U.S.-linked aircraft from using their airspace or bases. Their refusals carry operational weight because U.S. bases in Europe are essential for supporting MidEast operations, acting as critical staging and transit hubs for military aircraft.

Trump lashes out at UK & France, telling allies ‘the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore.’ The president has expressed disdain for European allies that have refused to take part in the U.S. and Israel’s military operation. Defense Secretary Hegseth said other countries “might want to start learning how to fight for yourself.” Europe tends to view the Iran war as one of choice and is wary of getting involved.

All critical, essential targets within Iran to be destroyed before Passover, IDF announces. The IDF deemed “critical” targets as those that immediately threatened Israel, such as ballistic missile industry targets, as well as targets at the heart of the mission goals of the war.

IDF to establish security zone 20 miles deep into Lebanon, following its campaign against Iranian-backed Hezbollah. 600,000-plus residents of Southern Lebanon evacuated northward in recent weeks would be barred from returning south of the Litani “until the safety and security of northern Israeli residents is ensured.”

Iran fears Israel’s ‘new strategy’ after major strikes on steel industry. Iran’s largest steel producer has reported heavy losses to its production units following joint US-Israeli strikes on its facilities during the war, with attacks hitting multiple sites in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province.

Trump says US could leave NATO over lack of Iran war support. He also said he expects the US to end its war on Iran within weeks, and a cease‑fire would only be considered if the Strait of Hormuz is open. The remarks come amid a poll showing two-thirds of Americans want the conflict ended. Average U.S. gas prices have risen to over $4 per gallon since the war started.

Gulf allies press Trump to escalate Iran war. Saudi Arabia, UAE, & other Gulf allies are privately pressing Trump to keep prosecuting the war against Iran. They argue that a month of U.S.-led strikes hasn’t weakened Iran enough. Saudi Arabia and UAE are leading calls to intensify military pressure. The Emirates favor a ground invasion. Oman and Qatar push for a diplomatic end.

Iran, Hezbollah launch attacks as Israelis host Passover Seders, sending millions to shelters. Sirens sounded repeatedly in central Israel Wednesday, surrounding start of Passover, as Iran fired a major ballistic missile barrage, and Hezbollah launched rockets from Lebanon, sending millions to bomb shelters and safe rooms as families hosted their Seder meals.

Iran and Lebanon fire at northern Israel as IDF strikes Tehran and Beirut. Rocket fire from Lebanon and missiles from Iran struck northern Israel, causing damage in multiple locations but no reported injuries. Israel Defense Forces began strikes targeting terrorist infrastructure in Beirut. Also, a large-scale wave of strikes was underway in Tehran.

US intelligence said to assess around half of Iran’s missile launchers still intact despite over a month of US and Israeli bombardment, CNN reported Friday, citing three sources. Some of the remaining missile launchers aren’t believed accessible at present, due to being buried under rubble amid airstrikes.

Trump warns Iran: ‘Time is running out’ before ‘all hell’ rains down. “Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!” Trump’s warning comes after Iranian air defenses struck down two U.S. fighter jets on Friday.
