Musk’s Billionaire Boys Club (Part 2)
Note: We will have more on Elon Musk’s spiritual life soon. We want to do additional homework. We are fully aware of some of the concerns and contradictions in his life. There is no doubt that he has a “final day” role, most likely not knowing that. But we should pray for him and his salvation in Jesus Christ. The actions he has taken to expose Twitter and the enormous bias and duplicity of that organization is extraordinary. I have even heard that there is concern for his safety due to the exposing of the nefarious plans and suppression of truth by Twitter and others on that platform. Moreover, he has expressed interest previously in the spiritual but for now it seems to be convoluted with more details later.
THE DAVOS ELITE
It’s easy to guess that some skeptics and haters are not yet ready to give Musk the humanitarian of the year award, even though he is now the world’s second largest philanthropist, next to, of course, Bill Gates (https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/15/investing/elon-musk-charity-donation/index.html?utm_source=join 1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement =newsletter).
In fact, they call Musk just the opposite: “the world’s wealthiest white nationalist.” In leftist-speak, this misnomer leans toward his being viewed as a selfish bigot. In the year 2023, it’s surprising that being white is almost a crime and that nationalism is painted as evil, especially when the latter is actually a well-known pillar of success, democracy and free markets everywhere. Thus, we might be smart to glean that the alternatives of Fascism, Marxism and Communism seem to be what Elon’s corrupt globalist media enemies want and why their accusations center around the need to bury Elon, who does not agree with them (https://www.thestreet.com/technology/elon-musk-lashes-out-at-davos).
In all its glorious transparency, their reaction says that if you’re not for the WEF’s new globalist world order, we, “the paid media,” officially label you a nationalist and toss in an extra divisive, socially deplorable descriptor word white. And voilà, “Elon, the White Nationalist” is born.
The truth and a much more intelligent conclusion is that Elon Musk is capitalist, not a globalist. Late last year, he had already exposed the WEF and their Environmental Social Governance (ESG) mandates by saying, “There’s something fishy going on with the WEF and their global policies” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2D5aEttlmk).
He is referring to the fact that if his company Tesla is no longer deemed a socially responsible company, something is amiss. He further explains that ESG is not really measuring the massive decrease in carbon footprint that his products provide, but rather that of the factories where they are made.
This provides a glimpse into the focus of ESG, which appears to be heavy on control, light on truth. If the globalists approve of you, rules will bend and change, doors will be opened. If you don’t agree with the WEF and abide by its nebulous ESG standards like “societal norms,” doors will be shut. When doors are shut, the supposed standard is being weaponized.
Weaponization carries the implication that ESG policies are undemocratic in that the measuring stick, according to Musk, is malleable and transformable at whim. Such chaos, favoritism and control in the corporate sector is heard of only in countries run by Communist or Marxist dictators, who can use them to easily punish any dissenting corporations (THINK: Jack Mao in China). It’s a scary proposition to think that the reach of the WEF’s ESG standards would be perfectly capable of crippling a U.S. corporation in a pseudo-fascist fashion, but they can and have.
The globalists have, in fact, already used this model against Elon, when Tesla’s stock (TSLA) dropped 40 percent in a matter of months because they removed him from the S&P based on ESG “metrics,” docking him institutional investment or perpetrating “dis-investment,” which they shamelessly deny exists. This is a frightening precedent as one tries to imagine what the globalists can do to a supposed “stakeholder” or the “common man” as compared with Elon’s multi-national corporation, which was near half of its investment value in mere months (https://tradesmith.com/educational/buying-or-writing-tesla-off-read-this-first).
Just as he does in his pursuit of free speech, Elon Musk stands against the globalists in their Hegelian pursuit of a tyrannical power agenda that remains hidden to most people until the elites deem otherwise. By calling out these ESG standards as bogus, Musk is demanding transparency in the financial community, transparency in which all accusations should be measurable by an actual static, concrete metric that can be applied to all corporations with equal measure in a court of law, not at whim.
Societal norms are “witch-hunt” worthy in their subjectivity, yet according to ESG, societal norms are what corporations like Tesla must now take into account when considering the people they serve as well as their company employees. This is not possible without great subjectivity, which is again where weaponization finds its home.
ESG created ”stakeholder capitalism,” another term born from judging whether someone is in violation of societal norms or the ill-serving of the employee population and can also easily be weaponized in the same way as societal norms are: subjective ideas with little chance of impartial measurement or enforcement.
A corporation cannot be beholden to the public it serves or to the city it is a part of because to do this undermines what a corporation is: an entity designed to make money and answer to its shareholders in a capitalistic society. This is the way of capitalism. The vague ESG standards are a means of handing power over to a few people (think: Russia/China/Cuba, etc.) who say they’re doing it for the people or “stakeholders,” who really aren’t stakeholders because they don’t own stock.
The reality is that “stakeholder capitalism” and “ESG standards” are the language of a soft dictatorship that seeks to sell something it doesn’t have in order to control.
HINT: There will be no other stakeholders when the globalists are done.
These concepts or standards are un-American and anti-capitalist and therefore inherently a sham, much like the very biased, tightly-controlled, completely censored propaganda that gripped pre-Elon Twitter. That was run behind the scenes by the FBI, the paid media, bots and executives who perpetrated daily “visibility filtering” by creating lists like these: “Trends Blacklists,” “Do Not Amplify,” “Search Blacklists” and many others.
This subjectivity and its inevitable weaponization is the reason Musk calls ESG/stakeholder capitalism a sham and why he knew he had to buy Twitter to provide transparency. Democracy requires it. Musk is not a threat to democracy, as the Soros/Gates media tries to paint him. He’s one of the staunchest upholders of democracy existing today.
Recently, Musk tweeted that the WEF is “increasingly becoming an unelected world government that the people never asked for and don’t want.” That seems like a reasonable and welcome conclusion to point out, given that Schwab, founder and chairman of the WEF, was filmed saying how the “WEF’s new ‘Global Collaboration Village’ in the Metaverse can be trusted at a time when worldwide trust in political institutions is at an all-time low.”
One question: Are we in the twilight zone?
Just that sentence alone with those ridiculously childish terms makes any sane person want to run. This just might be the best WEF word salad yet, with clear intention to manipulate us into thinking that 1) there is a problem and 2) the WEF is a better governance body than current institutions in the United States or Europe. The only reason someone would think there was a problem is that the globalists had a monopoly of media/social media until Musk’s recent rescue of free speech. Good luck with that, Klaus.
CONCLUSION:
Post-Twittergate, the globalist/leftist tactic that is “conspiracy theory” has been exposed as just another name for the truth. If Elon Musk is verifying that the WEF used ESG to shaft Tesla and the data backs it up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2D5aEttlmk), what other options are there?
Furthermore, Musk is sharing a plethora of Twitter’s treasonous statements, information, laptops, etc. that were withheld by the FBI, the Bidens, Twitter executives and other social media sources (THINK: Facebook) that have now been revealed and are known as truth by virtue of Musk purchasing and exposing the heinous corruption that plagued the company, pre-Musk.
The Twitter files have made it clear that the WEF, actors included, are consorting with politicians, multi-national corporate CEOs and others who seek to perpetrate collectivism at all costs. If you oppose their way of life or its values and want to remain a nuclear Christian family, honoring marriage as between a man and woman and instilling traditional values in your children, you are an exclusionary, bigoted, (white) nationalist. These lines of division are called Marxist lines of intersectionality and are designed to divide people into weakened warring factions that are easier to conquer.
Backed by the money of technocrat globalists like Gates and Microsoft, there is widespread acceptance of falsely declaring all viewpoints they don’t like as “false and misleading” or “hate speech,” just as they do today in Venezuela, Cuba and Communist China, where they even lock people up at will for such offenses (https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/02/10/why-we-fight-the-blacklist-against-conservative-viewpoints-by-big-tech-n529851). This doubling down on complete fabrications is the very fabric of Communist and Marxist dictators the world over.
This name calling and obfuscation of truth is exactly what Musk wants to stop in order to squash any chance of global tyranny by AI robotics, microchips, ESG or other globalist tactics.
When Elon Musk gallantly decided to defend free speech for “We the People” of the world, he threw a pretty big wrench right into the middle of the globalists’ carefully crafted Hegelian dialectic (see KEV article from 2/10/23 edition). His purchase of Twitter is, in fact, the alternate “anti-thesis” that the WEF, heads of state and self-appointed billionaire advisors to the world did not expect.
No longer do the globalists control the narrative as they did before Elon ended their monopolization and obvious censorship of social media. As a result, their agenda of global tyranny has been blown, because instead of one anti-thesis, there are now two: Repressive Police State (globalist control amidst lies of “power to the people”) and The New Twitter (Musk as protector of democracy amidst truths of real power to the people in the form of restored freedom of speech).
The United States was founded as “one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Ask yourself why Elon Musk would jeopardize his life by withstanding threats to silence him and then continue to stand up against all the most powerful people in the world.
He already told you. “If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.”
Thanks to Elon, the two opposing sides are now obvious, making it plain to see that we are indeed in a spiritual battle of epic proportion. Those who are on the side of God have found an unlikely hero in Elon Musk, who has enough wealth and sense to combat the devil inherent in the globalist new world order, which is based on nihilism, materialism, self-worship and the scientific replacement of God by microchip. The perpetration of globalist tyranny onto the human race is being waged on many fronts with insane amounts of money (https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/open-society-foundations/).
At Superbowl 2023, Musk may have just started the “Billionaire Boys’ Club for Real Men” with an open invitation to Rupert Murdoch as a venerable second member. That’s my guess (https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-responds-rupert-murdoch-super-bowl-twitter-1780744).

Israel Analysis
Is judicial reform coming to Israel?
In many ways, Israel is not so different from the United States. Left-wing forces want to bring down tradition and conservative values and proponents. We’ve seen that here since at least 2016, when Donald Trump apparently upset the apple cart of the Left. From that time to this, they have not taken off even a second in their efforts to destroy him and his supporters.
Trump was unable to completely dismantle the very old power structures, and that led to his exit from the White House. The story is not over, and we wait to see what will happen in 2024.
Not coincidentally, Israel is in much the same position. In many ways, Benjamin Netanyahu is the spitting image of Trump: fiercely protective of his country, invested in its future, and not afraid to take on the Left. So it is that his ideological opponents have sought to destroy Netanyahu for a quarter-century.
The man is nothing though if not resilient. Having seen combat and coping with the loss of his brother during the Entebbe hostage rescue, Netanyahu (like Trump) is no shrinking violet. In his third turn as Israel’s prime minister, Bibi is still fighting corruption charges (now in the form of a criminal trial).
When he took over for caretaker PM Yair Lapid a few months ago, Netanyahu returned to office with a fresh set of foes. Lapid was not even gone from the top job before he was inciting protests against Netanyahu’s political agendas. Add to this other high-profile leaders like Ehud Barak doing the same thing and all of a sudden, Israeli society has become embroiled in nationwide protests that threaten to spill over into violence. It’s a frightening situation, frankly, and one that many of us didn’t see coming. For generations, Israel has faced countless exterior enemies, but now to be surrounded by internal attackers (Jews, no less!) is to present a whole new set of challenges.
At the heart of the current political conflict is the “judicial reform” measures that Netanyahu and his allies want to enact. Because that entails curbing corruption between elected officials and the judiciary, Netanyahu and his Likud Party are under siege.
Even former U.S. Ambassador David Friedman, a fantastic ally, expressed reservations about Netanyahu’s reach with regard to judicial reform. His remarks at a conference in Tel Aviv last month are indication of that.
(The conference was not open to the public, so a report from Axios merely passes along reports from anonymous participants.)
“According to the source in the room, Friedman said he was in favor of judicial reform in Israel but that the government’s plan ‘was going too far for me and for many Americans’ because it will harm the court’s ability to protect minority rights.”
A “day of dysfunction” this week resulted in road closures and protests that prompted police to use water cannons and stun grenades.
Critics of judicial reform will say that it is simply a brazen attempt to escape justice by Netanyahu. His backers, of course, will say the opposite, that he is the victim of a leftwing witch hunt.
We must also keep in mind that Likud does not enjoy the favor of the Press, and this means that, like Trump, Netanyahu will find his path forward with judicial reform rocky, at best.
As we’ve learned in the U.S., evil from the Left never rests. Our own country is suffering due to high-stakes political corruption, and it looks like Israel will head into a similar short-term fate.

WHO’s your daddy?
WASH—Mar 2—KIN--The poster child for what not to do to save lives is the World Health Organization’s (WHO) dictums on COVID prevention and treatment. So-called “vaccines” that didn’t work, mandated hospital protocols that killed more people than they saved and quarantines of healthy people for the first time in history all point to a failed effort that left millions of deaths in its wake and ruined many more lives. Now the Biden administration wants this threat to humanity locked down in an unconstitutional agreement to give WHO control over our lives forever. If ever there were a time to stand up and resist, it is now. No unelected foreign entity should ever have sovereignty over the U.S. This is treason.
The agreement in question is the WHO CA+ that gives WHO authority to direct the world response to pandemics and other health related matters. The preamble to the agreement states, “In recognition of the catastrophic failure of the international community in showing solidarity and equity in response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the World Health Assembly convened a second special session in December 2021, where it established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) open to all Member States and Associate Members (and regional economic integration organizations as appropriate) to draft and negotiate a WHO convention, agreement or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response . . .”
First, it admits the failure of the international community to address COVID, but it was the WHO directives that the world followed. This is double-speak. Some countries recognized the deadly folly of WHO and didn’t go along with it. So now WHO and the Biden administration want to force countries to comply with an international agreement. Interesting, the double-speak continues with the first affirmation of goals in the document, which says, “Reaffirming the principle of sovereignty of States Parties in addressing public health matters, notably pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and health systems recovery.” There is no sovereignty when a nation gives up its rights to an international body. WHO are they fooling? This is a global system that is very similar to the prophecies in Revelation about the Beast empire.
Revelation 13:7 says, “And it was given unto him [the Beast] to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Other than military force, there is no greater power than a hold on people’s healthcare. This grip can extend to travel, food, housing, civil rights and more if people do not comply with the mandates. We saw it firsthand with COVID where people were denied travel and access to restaurants. They were not even allowed to work if they were not vaccinated with an unproven, ineffective and unsafe “vaccine” that is now causing thousands of deaths and health problems. Biden must be stopped in this unconstitutional abdication of sovereignty. WHO’s your daddy? God or man?

Stupidocrisy: Lies and makers of lies
WASH—Mar 1—KIN--Shocker alert! In a FOX News interview Tuesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray publicly confirmed what many have been saying for three years and the federal government has been denying—that the COVID virus likely originated from a lab in Wuhan, China. Moreover, he admitted in so many words that the virus responsible for the deaths of millions around the world was a bioweapon and that killing people was “precisely what that capability was designed for.” Think about how many people were censored, demonized and marginalized by social media tech firms, the mainstream news media and the medical and scientific communities for the mere suggestion that this virus didn’t jump from bats at a Chinese marketplace.
Wray told FOX News, “The FBI has folks, agents, professionals, analysts, virologists, microbiologists, etc. who focus specifically on the dangers of biological threats, which include things like novel viruses like COVID and the concerns that, in the wrong hands, some bad guys, a hostile nation-state, a terrorist, a criminal, the threats that those could pose. So, here, you’re talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab that killed millions of Americans, and that’s precisely what that capability was designed for. I should add that our work related to this continues, and there are not a whole lot of details I can share that aren’t classified. I will just make the observation that the Chinese government, it seems to me, has been doing its best to try to thwart and obfuscate the work here. . . and that’s unfortunate for everybody.”
“Unfortunate for everybody.” Really? It was genocide. But the FBI also was involved in suppressing the China lab leak story, as was it responsible for suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story that implicates the current president and his family in using government positions to enrich themselves. But then again, the FBI also was complicit in promoting the false claims that former President Donald Trump was compromised by the Russians, while his opponent Hillary Clinton peddled her position as Secretary of State to enrich the Clinton Foundation and her campaign chairman John Podesta. The FBI seems to be at the center of a lot of lies. So now, after all this time and so many Americans dead or injured because of COVID, the FBI comes clean on Wuhan? What gives? The dam of lies is being broken by truth seekers.
Government and the science, medical, and media communities have lied to the American people, and these lies have been deadly to the citizens the government is constitutionally required to protect. Moreover, many people have been deceived by believing these lies. As Christ said in John 8:43–44, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” Not measuring what these deceivers say by the truth of God’s Word is . . . say it with me . . . Stupidocrisy.

Apostasy in the Church
Deceivers have their benefactors
Powerful media have always sought to influence religious communities. It isn’t new.
William Randolph Hearst, the mogul with a morals problem, once inexplicably told his national editors “Puff Graham,” meaning a young firebrand preacher known as Billy Graham. The endorsements from newspapers around the country contributed greatly to the expansion of Graham’s ministry.
Now we see a different kind of influence from powerful media, in the wake of the Southern Baptist Convention voting to disfellowship Saddleback Church, the Southern California powerhouse megachurch made famous by its founder, Rick Warren.
Warren retired last fall after 43 years building an iconic ministry. From his base as an SBC pastor, he had access to its 45,000 churches.
(For important background, I highly, highly recommend Paul Smith’s book, New Evangelicalism: The New World Order. It will not make Rick Warren fans happy. Smith, the brother of Calvary Chapel’s Chuck Smith, meticulously researched how dark forces infiltrated evangelicalism and forever changed it.)
Here’s a key fact for you to understand: denominations usually have a publishing house attached. For the Southern Baptists, that has always been LifeWay. From a publishing house to a juggernaut of distribution, LifeWay is the distribution channel for those tens of thousands of churches. For example, it’s not that Sunday school teachers and others make their own choices on materials for their classes. They are basically told by LifeWay what they will order. It’s a seamless process that seems helpful and convenient.
The problem is, what if the material being distributed is not biblical?
I know, I know. It sounds like I’m harping on something and splitting hairs. I can assure you that the real problem here is that few in the pews know or have put together (or have access to the information) just how unbiblical some of our resources and ministries are. For example, Andy Stanley’s outrageous—evil—statements about the Bible and God in the last few years are starting to somewhat be heard and discerned, but still, the vast majority of evangelicals still listen to Stanley and don’t appear to understand what’s going on. He’s too big, too popular, for real discernment to bring him down.
The same with Warren.
The immediate subject of this week’s column is why the SBC disfellowshipped Saddleback: the church’s new pastors endorse and cultivate women as pastors. That goes against the SBC’s Faith & Message Doctrine.
What I really want to address is how powerful media come alongside powerful ministry leaders to shape the narrative for the public. And this week, the Los Angeles Times worked overtime to shape it to Warren’s satisfaction.
A story by Deborah Netburn included quotes from left-leaning pastors, including Dwight McKissic and Adam Greenway. McKissic stated: “It’s driven by power, male supremacy; and it stinks in the nostrils of God.” Wow.
Benjamin Cole is also interviewed at length by Netburn. He said in part: “What is happening now seems to me to be a great divorce from Baptist history and heritage. We may not only be losing Saddleback Church and Rick Warren. We may be losing our identity.”
Here I want you to notice that these defenders of Warren and Saddleback aren’t quoting Scripture to bolster their views. They are engaging in ad hominem comments. It’s not that, for example, Paul’s statements on the subject aren’t brought to bear. But they don’t want you to think too deeply about them.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (1 Timothy 2:12)
This is surely an explosive topic, but what I want to focus on here is how powerful media prop-up powerful ministry leaders. They all help each other. Do you think it’s a coincidence that Andy Stanley got close to the Obamas during their two terms? By close I mean he prayed at the inaugurals and his church hosted Michelle Obama as a speaker.
So when I see the LA Times propping-up Warren and his church, I wonder why? The answer, I believe, is that secular media and celebrity pastors in this country are in league to change the Church overall. To change it from a Bible-believing community to something that is not that. Paul Smith had this to say about Warren’s church model:
“The Purpose Driven model originated from some radical philosophies about the nature of man and societies. This model is bent on transforming the nature of man and society. It was reduced to its lowest common denominator in order to carry out the most widespread worldwide appeal. The Warren message remains uniform and prefabricated to the point where Saddleback Church reports that thousands of pastors weekly download Warren's canned Purpose Driven sermons from his website to preach and promote their church growth hopes. This is preceded by the protégé pastors having every member of their church buy and read The Purpose Driven Church, accompanied by a congregation-wide forty-day march through the Warren philosophy for church growth.”
And it was management consultant Peter Drucker that heavily influenced Warren to develop his Purpose-Driven model, rather than a scriptural, Acts-based church structure.
“Drucker was Rick Warren's mentor for developing and implementing the Purpose Driven model for the church. It was a major paradigm shift from the Lord's New Testament pattern to a Drucker driven pattern whose presuppositions were steeped in Kierkegaardian, Zen, Confucian, and postmodern thinking. The spiritual deception is overwhelming and sad beyond words!”
Through Drucker and Leadership Network, Warren then came to have access to Big Media, all too happy to give him bigger platforms. Today, Warren is comfortable with his friends at the Pew Forum, the World Economic Forum, and various visual and print media.
In the 21st century, secular and/or pagan benefactors “puff” a variety of evangelical celebrity pastors.
To the detriment of the rest of us.

Whistleblower says he gave DOJ damning information on Biden family foreign business deals

Gal Luft is threatening to 'name names' after being detained on what he claims are 'politically motivated' charges
An Israeli think tank executive who served alongside Hunter Biden as an adviser to a Chinese energy conglomerate widely suspected of serving as a front for the Chinese Communist Party now says he provided the FBI with damning information about the Biden family’s foreign business dealings.
Gal Luft, the co-director of the Washington-based Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, says he provided information about Hunter Biden, his father, and his uncle, Jim Biden, to the Justice Department in March 2019. Luft served as an adviser to CEFC China Energy, a conglomerate that "aligned itself so closely with the Chinese government that it was often hard to distinguish between the two," according to CNN. The group, which donated at least $350,000 to Luft’s think tank, paid Hunter Biden at least $6 million in 2017 to procure energy investment deals in the United States.

Ships are 'dangerous development and a direct threat to the safety and security of Americans,' Cruz says
Two Iranian warships docked in Brazil on Tuesday, fueling concerns about Tehran’s militarization in the region.
The two ships docked at a port in Rio de Janeiro, after arriving in the Panama Canal last month. The arrival of these ships—both of which are sanctioned by the United States—sets up a potential diplomatic showdown between the Biden administration and Brazil, which could face sanctions for hosting the vessels.

Report: Young Americans believe ‘humanity is doomed’ as Dems warn of climate catastrophe
March 2, 2023
Source: The Washington Free Beacon
Young Americans increasingly believe that they have "no future or that humanity is doomed" because of climate change, CBS News reported on Thursday, a development that comes as President Joe Biden resorts to apocalyptic warnings to push his administration's environmental agenda.
"We see that a lot of young people are saying, I think my life will be worse than my parents' lives," said Dr. Sarah Schwartz, a psychology professor at Suffolk University, pointing to a generational phenomenon of "climate anxiety."
Forty-six percent of Americans between the ages of 16 and 25 are "extremely" or "very" worried about the climate, while 26 percent said climate change has affected their ability to function day to day, according to one study. Fifty-four percent of respondents, meanwhile, said they are "afraid" of the future.

Banks, transportation firms, retail giants and food companies make up 51 businesses at war with conservatives
It is not a secret that over the past decade, hundreds of large U.S. corporations have adopted woke policies, regularly injecting left-wing ideals into their products, services and employment practices. But some of these businesses have recently gone much further than merely promoting social justice causes; they have chosen to target conservative customers and employees, coercing or forcing Americans to abandon their deeply held beliefs in order to receive important goods or services or to stay employed.
Although many conservatives have heard stories about corporate discrimination in recent years, they have often struggled to keep track of which businesses have been part of this movement, and which have largely stayed on the sidelines. A new project launched by the 1792 Exchange, a nonprofit organization, seeks to shed light on this important problem.
The 1792 Exchange recently launched its Spotlight Report, which assesses more than 1,000 companies’ "policies, practices, and other relevant criteria to determine the likelihood a company will cancel a contract or client, or boycott, divest, or deny services based on views or beliefs."

Senior Biden administration officials said on Tuesday that China "has been supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine from the beginning" and vowed to punish the Communist regime if it provides Moscow with military equipment.
"We’ve made very clear we will not hesitate to take steps to hold to account entities that assist Russia, and we’ve made that very clear to the Chinese," Daniel Kritenbrink, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, told Congress during testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered this warning in person to China's Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission director Wang Yi when the two met earlier this month on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, according to Kritenbrink.

Patterns in the phenomenon of near death experiences
Anita Moorjani is a New York Times bestselling author, and she was also a terminal lymphoma patient. When she was dying, she had a near-death experience that people usually don’t go through.
At that time, Moorjani had been fighting lymphoma for four years and was terminally ill. The cancer had spread, and her body was covered in tumors, some as big as lemons. She was only 85 pounds and “looked like a skeleton with skin” as she put it.
On the morning of February 2, 2006, Moorjani fell into a coma, as her organs began to fail and shut down. Doctors informed her family and announced that she would only live for a few more hours.
