We are the digital soldiers.
It's time they run forever.
We are the digital soldiers.
We will bring the light to this field of fight.
Hi, welcome to another episode of Just Informed News.
I'm your host, Craig.
Thanks for joining me.
We have a lot to cover here today.
Hope you guys are having a wonderful Tuesday.
Yes, we are getting closer to the weekend, which is Christmas weekend.
We're going to be celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ this weekend.
Hopefully you guys are getting ready for that.
Maybe you're off for vacation already.
Maybe you're going to be taking vacation soon.
And hopefully you'll be able to take those days off at minimum to be able to enjoy the vacation, holiday, and especially to share in fellowship and worship our Lord and Savior and celebrate His birth.
But with that being said, we have a lot to cover in today's episode.
We're going to be covering this breaking story.
a new set of files dropped from the Twitter file saga that seems to be ongoing, is talking about, these are CENTCOM, Central Command, the Pentagon, DOD, their actual covert deepfake psyop social media their actual covert deepfake psyop social media campaigns that they were running on Twitter, which if they're running them on Twitter, they're running them on other platforms, and it begs so many questions.
We're going to get through all the details of it, and we're actually going to talk about how Twitter was publicly saying one thing while privately working with these individuals in the U.S. military to run these deepfake psyop accounts.
It's all an incredible story.
We're going to talk about all of the details of that breaking news story that just came out today, plus we're going to get into a bunch of other news stories.
We're going to talk about Kevin McCarthy trying to become the Speaker of the House again, and what is happening with this whole fiasco.
We have a few holdouts in the Freedom Caucus who are still not going to allow Kevin McCarthy to be nominated as the leader because he's a traitor rhino.
But you're seeing people like Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene circle the wagon around him?
Why?
It just makes no sense.
We're going to look at that and we're going to tell you about the case to be made for Kevin McCarthy.
They're going to tell us why we need to put him in office and it's pretty laughable.
But we're going to get through that plus a bunch of other news stories, breaking news across the board.
We're going to get through all the top stories of the day.
So I hope you guys are ready for that and With that being said, I want to give a second to say a shout out to the sponsor of this episode.

Okay, so we have a lot to cover here today.
We're going to try to get through all of these stories.
We're starting with this big story.
It's the Twitter files coming out in this latest dump.
And we're going to look at this right here.
So here it is, talking about how Twitter quietly aided the Pentagon's covert online psyop campaign.
Now, this is all detailed in a report that just came out on The Intercept here by a journalist named Li Feng.
But it's all detailed as well here on the Twitter files thread.
So we're going to read through this thread and we're going to kind of talk about what this is all explaining to us about how the inter operational aspects of a deep fake psyop campaign ran by the U.S. military on social media would work.
And in doing so.
It's not that this is as much a story.
I want to be clear.
This isn't like something like, oh man, they're doing it?
We knew they were doing that.
I mean, if you had half a brain, you knew this was happening.
And especially when you read through the story, it's obvious that, yeah, they're going to work with social media companies to make these deepfake burner social media accounts to...
Run psyops against our foreign enemies.
But what's very important to learn from this is how they operate these campaigns.
Because imagine...
If we're finding this out through this Twitter files dump, that they are running these deepfake psyops, these covert psyop campaigns on these social media platforms, then you can rest assured and bet your bottom dollar that they're running the same exact type of operations against us, we the American people, and it's not just foreign adversaries out in Afghanistan or Pakistan or Iran or whatever.
This is the blueprint from which we can basically glean how they run their same disinfo psyop campaigns against us.
And maybe you're going to see what I saw when I read through this, some interesting similarities to things that have been happening in our own basically, you know, discourse, political discourse here in this country on social media.
But let's read through it.
So, It starts off, let me see if I can make this a little bit bigger so we can all read it.
So it says, despite promises to shut down covert state-run propaganda networks, Twitter docs show that the social media giant directly assisted the U.S. military's influence operations.
Twitter's claimed for years that they made concerted efforts to detect and thwart government-backed platform manipulation.
Here's Twitter testifying to Congress about its pledge to rapidly identify and shut down all state-backed covert information ops and deceptive propaganda.
And it kind of outlines it here.
It goes on and it says, quote, behind the scenes, Twitter gave approval and special protection of the U.S. military's online psychological influence operations.
Despite knowledge that Pentagon propaganda accounts used covert identities, Twitter did not suspend many for around two years or more.
Some remain active today.
In 2017, a U.S. Central Command official sent Twitter a list of 52 Arab language accounts we use to amplify certain messages the U.S.
The official asked for priority service for six accounts, verification for one, and whitelist abilities for others.
So what is whitelist abilities?
We're going to talk about what this means, but...
Essentially, what this whitelisting is, is it's what you would imagine the opposite of blacklisting is.
Blacklisting is, you know, deplatforming or taking it down, de-escalating it, taking it out of suggested research results, taking it out of trending sections, all of that stuff.
Whitelisting is essentially the opposite.
It's amplifying it.
It's allowing it to trend more easily.
It's disallowing accounts from reporting it or blocking it or reporting it as spam.
We're going to get into the way that Twitter was working with these deepfake PSYOP accounts.
We're going to talk about how they're deepfakes as well in a little bit here.
But let's go ahead and keep reading for a second here.
It goes on.
The same day CENTCOM sent the list, Twitter officials used a tool to grant a special whitelist tag that essentially provides verification status to the accounts without the blue checkmark.
Hmm, that's interesting.
Without the blue checkmark.
So we're already in the deception part here.
What they're doing is when you get a blue checkmark, apparently, on Twitter, you would get whitelisted or you would be amplified.
You would be allowed to have special privilege access, amplification, etc., etc.
They were getting that same privilege without the blue checkmark.
Why?
Well, because they're trying to amplify certain accounts.
Now, imagine that this same thing is happening with accounts that are not...
Just targeted at foreign audiences like Afghanistan or Iran.
Imagine this is targeted at domestic political actors, bot campaigns, other things like that, actual psyops, these slow and easy manipulations that take place gradually and effectively over a long period of time with gradual inputs that nudge people in a certain way.
There's a whole section of psychology that's being developed right now based on social media and the algorithms and how they affect people's psychology and how you can manipulate people using those algorithms.
That's being perfected and weaponized, and this is how they're doing it right here.
So we're getting the game plan.
We're getting the whole blueprint from this story, which is why it's so important.
Excuse me.
It goes on.
Let's see.
Blue checkmark.
It provides verification tests to the accounts without the blue checkmark, meaning they are exempt from spam abuse flags, more visible, likely to trend on hashtags.
The CENTCOM accounts on the list tweeted frequently about U.S. military priorities in the Middle East, including promoting anti-Iran messages, promotion of the Saudi Arabia-U.S.-backed war in Yemen, and accurate U.S. drone strikes that claim to only hit terrorists.
Here's an example of the accounts.
It goes on.
Wow, that's interesting.
We'll see the deepfake in a second.
One Twitter official spoke to this reporter and said that he felt deceived by the covert shift.
But many emails from 2020 or from throughout 2020 show that high-level Twitter executives were well aware of the DOD's vast network of fake accounts and covert propaganda did not suspend the accounts.
For example, Twitter lawyer, this is where it gets interesting.
Jim Baker said, You guys know that name, right?
Jim Baker's in this story?
Oh, well, of course he is.
His fingerprints are all over everything the deep state's running operationally through Twitter because he went from, you know, persecuting and running the Russia hoax operation out of the Justice Department, or the FBI, I should say.
I think he was the top lawyer there, to now he's at Twitter working with the DOD on deepfake psyops that are running through social media.
But the government's not doing this to us.
You know, just ignore your eyes here.
So Jim Baker mused in a July 2020 email about an upcoming DoD meeting that the Pentagon used poor tradecraft, quote-unquote, in setting up its network and were seeking strategies for not exposing the accounts that are linked to each other or to DoD or the U.S. government.
Stacia Cardil?
Who is that?
Remember Stacia Cardil?
We talked about her yesterday.
Who is she?
Well, she is, as I recall, if I'm going off the top of my head here, she is, and in fact, check me if I'm wrong on this, because I'm pretty sure I'm right.
I'll look her up real quick.
But Stacia Cadill is the chief assistant to former, you guys guessed it, former head of the FBI, James Comey, right?
So, hmm...
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah, she was the former top lawyer, but she was also working with the director, James Comey.
So I had to fact check myself on that while we were going because I want to make sure I got that right.
So Stacia Cardillo, that we see in this drop, she is the second in command, basically, or the chief assistant to James Comey, and she's working at Twitter as an attorney as well.
She replied to the Pentagon that the Pentagon wanted a skiff and may want to retroactively classify its social media activities to obfuscate their activity in this space and that this may represent an overclassification to avoid embarrassment.
Wait.
They were trying to get skiffs?
This is coming from them hearing this about Facebook.
They're trying to get SCIFs in social media companies.
Why are they trying to run SCIFs, secure information facilities, in social media companies?
For what purpose?
Oh, I see, because they have to have these highly classified meetings where they war game out and strategize on how they're going to censor us and destroy our free speech and undermine our rights in this nation.
Yeah, that's right.
Several 2020 emails, high-level Twitter executives, lawyers, discussed the Covert Network and even recirculated the 2017 list from CENTCOM and share another list of 157 undisclosed Pentagon accounts, again mostly focused on Middle East military issues, May 2020.
Email Twitter's Lisa Roman.
Email the DoD with two lists.
One list was accounts previously provided to us.
Another list Twitter detected.
The accounts tweeted in Russian and Arabic on U.S. military issues in Syria, ISIS, and many also did not disclose Pentagon ties.
Really?
So not only that, they were finding on their own, they were uncovering accounts that were operating in the same fashion that they weren't disclosing to Twitter.
So they were disclosing certain accounts to Twitter to have them whitelist them, to amplify them, to artificially boost them so that they could gain traction and to run their side more effectively.
to artificially boost them so that they could gain traction and to run their sides more effectively.
But then on top of that, they were running their own campaigns that they weren't telling Twitter about that Twitter was picking up on their own.
But then on top of that, they were running their own campaigns that they weren't telling Twitter about.
The Twitter was picking up on their own.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Many of these secretive U S military propaganda accounts, despite detection by you by Twitter as late as 2020, but potentially earlier continued tweeting through this year.
Some not suspended until May, 2022 or later, according to records that this reporter reviewed.
In 2022, in August, a Stanford internet observatory report exposed a U S military covert propaganda network on Facebook, telegram, Twitter, and other apps using fake news portals and deep fake images and memes against U S foreign adversaries.
U S propaganda network relentlessly pushed narratives against Russia, China, and other foreign countries.
They accused Iran of threatening Iraq's water security and flooding the country with crystal meth and of harvesting the organs of Afghan refugees.
the Stanford report did not identify all the accounts in the network, but one they did name was the exact same Twitter account.
CENTCOM asked for whitelist privileges in 2017 email.
And they verified that Twitter's internal tools, the account used an AI created deep fake image.
So this picture here that you're seeing on your screen is not a real person.
This is essentially an individual who is a fake, a deep fake.
So they're basically using deep fake images to create profiles, to run psyops on social media.
And you've got to remember, this is what they're doing against our foreign adversaries.
Just like they were running color revolutions in other countries that they would never do here in the United States, except they were.
Like, they would never frame politicians and political officials for crimes they never committed with, you know, fake evidence that they plant on them.
You know, they would never do that domestically, even though they do it abroad.
But they did.
So if you don't think they're using profiles with deep fake pics in them now against us in real time, I don't know.
I think it stands to reason that this is definitely happening.
It goes on, subsequent reporting Twitter was cast as an unbiased hero for removing a network of fake user accounts promoting pro-Western policy positions.
Media covering the story described Twitter as evenly applying its policies and proactive in suspending the DoD network.
The reality is much more murky.
Twitter actively assisted CENTCOM's network going back 2017 and as late as 2020.
They knew these accounts were covert, designed to deceive, to manipulate the discourse, a violation of Twitter's policies and promises.
They waited years to suspend.
Twitter's comms team was closely in touch with the reporters, working to minimize Twitter's role.
When the Washington Post reported on the scandal, Twitter officials congratulated each other because the story didn't mention any Twitter employees and focus largely on the Pentagon.
Yeah.
So that's essentially the end of this piece.
It says, Okay, so that's what you have there in a nutshell.
And apparently, as we speak right now, we may be having another big drop taking place.
Let's see if I can find it.
I'm going to look for this for a second here while...
Just while we go on there, we have other stuff we're going to cover, so we'll just check this out.
No, nothing yet.
So that was the full of the latest Twitter file drop.
So there you have it, guys.
That's the archetype.
That's the blueprint that they're going to run by, and why wouldn't they be doing this stuff?
So we've seen how they operate their deepfake psyops through social media, and then you have to step back and ask yourself, okay, if that's what's happening there, then...
You know, what can we glean off of from that and then look at what we've been facing?
I mean, you have stories like this right here.
We have Paul Ryan being identified as being in on it, whatever it was, as the Speaker Ryan knew the DOJ was spying on Representative Devin Nunes and his staff, allowed it to happen and never notified the White House.
This is a new report coming out from Cash Patel, Steve Bannon, they're breaking this story.
Now look, it's like tell me something I don't know, but again, imagine if they're running these psyops, you have to really start to step back and look at some very fascinating ways of connecting the dots in all of this and say you have to assume this is what they're doing against us using these social media companies in real time because they've tried the clandestine way where they frame politicians and try to get them cast out, but that doesn't work.
It doesn't seem to work anymore, at least, because of the Internet, because of the way information is able to be released.
So now they're adapting, and they're starting to adapt and infiltrate these social media companies to exploit them and their vulnerabilities.
So I thought that was worth starting there on, and we have a few other stories to get through, so let's just get right into it.
White House can't mandate COVID jabs for federal contractors.
The Federal Appeals Court Monday struck down a White House rule requiring anyone employed by a federal contractor to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of government contracts.
Well, yeah, you think if the government can do that, then, you know, you're losing your entire physical bodily autonomy.
But I mean, it goes to right in hand in glove with this kind of story here.
Top Australian doctor who advocated for COVID vaccine finally breaks her silence and says doctors are censored.
She reveals she and her wife both suffer serious COVID shot injuries.
So finally, people are it took some of these high ranking doctors who've been pushing this mRNA experimental vaccine, which really was, I believe, the depopulation weapon that they were trying to launch against us.
Them getting hurt by it for the reals.
And I mean, how many of you out there watching, and you don't have to tell me or share it publicly if you don't want to, but how many of you have know people personally, right, that have been affected negatively by these vaccines?
I know I have.
I know I have family members, some of my closest family members, who took the vaccine against my advice, and they were damaged by it, and had terrible side effects, developing viruses, developing side effects that they would have never otherwise had, I believe.
And it's going to take that for these people to wake up, but it's really sad that's where we're at.
So let's get into a few other stories that I think are worth noting here.
Let's talk about the whole Matt Gaetz and Kevin McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, all this Trump, the whole thing.
Let's kind of run it down here.
The story is getting more interesting.
Gaetz's rebellion is going haywire, according to Breitbart, who's running all the flack for Kevin McCarthy that they can, as Marjorie Taylor Greene rips Florida Rep over threat to hold up GOP business for months so he can vent about McCarthy.
Wait.
I love how it's all being framed in this, oh, you're just throwing a tantrum because you're not getting your way, says Marjorie Taylor Greene, the person who's now obviously sold us out to the blackmail and bribery establishment, rhino corrupt traitors in Washington, D.C., because we have to get our agenda done.
Well, maybe we need people to actually stand up against these kleptocrats and these completely corrupt rhino traitors who pretend to represent us but really don't.
Maybe it's time we actually sacrifice a little, like, you know, give up having some meaningless hearing where we have an investigation and we bring people in for testimony so that we can do the same thing that the hoax January 6th committee did and issue meaningless give up having some meaningless hearing where we have an investigation and we bring people in for testimony so that we can do the same thing that the hoax January
And which ones they actually want to pursue.
And they'll do it arbitrarily and we'll do it against the benefit and the betterment of the American people.
So I'm actually in the camp of Matt Gaetz.
I think Kevin McCarthy is a traitor.
I don't know why MTG wants to sign up for him.
I don't know why Donald Trump's in his court.
I can't explain it, but I can tell you what they say is the argument for it here, which is pretty interesting.
The conservative case for Kevin McCarthy by Steve Cortez.
So I was like, alright, let me read this, right?
Because Steve Cortez, he seems like a nice guy.
Let's see what his case for putting McConnell in is.
I kid you not, this is like a first grader wrote it.
And I don't mean it's like bad grammar or anything like that.
It's like, if you asked a first grader why they deserve to have, you know, ice cream for breakfast, like, this is the kind of response, this is the level of response you get.
I'm going to summarize what he says here.
The first part he says, first and foremost, he gives three reasons, right?
So he says, Well, already there, you've lost me, because none of that's going to happen.
And what does that even mean?
But let's hear what he says, what it really means.
He says first, He says he gives three reasons why he's going to say, though I have been public and prolific in my prior criticisms of the House GOP leader, three compelling reasons now convince me to advocate for him.
Oh, Stephen, please regale us of your three compelling reasons to support the Trader Rhino, Kevin McCarthy, for his position as Speaker of the House.
I kid you not.
The first one is literally, first and foremost, McCarthy won.
He earned it.
And that's literally it.
That's all he says.
He says, McCarthy won.
And he won the house back for us.
So he deserves to be put in that position.
Wait, you mean he won?
He won?
He won what?
He won a slight majority in the House that, I mean, basically a blind invalid living in an igloo in Alaska or in Saskatchewan could have won because the country hated the people running it with 20 plus percent inflation, real inflation, and a creepy, demented pedophile as the president, a child molesting traitor as the president.
And the ruling party running us into the ground.
Yeah, anybody could have won that slight majority that he won.
And not only that, he sabotaged a number of different America First candidates to try to slight back at Trump with McConnell, who he's working with.
But Steve Cortez says, Kevin McCarthy won, so we have to respect it.
Okay, let's read more.
Let's see, it says he'll reclaim the Speaker's gavel from Nancy.
In fact, the two election cycles, Republicans added 14 and 9 House seats, respectively.
So he deserves it, guys.
This is such a joke.
It's a joke.
It's a joke.
This is a joke.
To the winners go the prizes, he writes.
McCarthy earned the top podium.
Okay, that's a joke.
Let's hear what your second reason is, because I'm very interested.
Second reason, McCarthy has moved to the right.
See, before the midterms, he laid out an aggressive agenda that fully aligns with the populist and nationalist wings of the movement.
Wait, you mean he said things to get elected that he's not going to do now that once he is finally elected?
Oh, like he's been doing every time throughout his political career?
It's like conservatives, and I mean this with all respect, because I consider myself a conservative, but I'm a Christian nationalist, so I'm what they call a far-right conservative, right?
But...
This is fascinating to me because the people that we have in the majority in our conservative movement go, yeah, well, he said that he's going to be aggressive and he adopted populist and nationalist things.
Yeah, you mean like every other one of these rhino, deep state, you know, backed, uniparty, fake Republicans who say whatever they have to, like Lindsey Graham, who will say anything literally to get elected, but once he's elected and knows he has whatever it is, I think for Lindsey it's like six years, for House representatives it's like four.
He has six years.
He doesn't care anymore.
He does what he wants.
But when it's the election year, like it was for Kevin McCarthy this year, he said he was going to be a populist.
He said he was going to be on our side.
So we better vote for him, guys, because he said he was going to do it.
And it's not like he'll be elected leader of the House and then completely betray us and stab us in the backs again.
It is the definition of insanity.
These people want to keep doing the same thing and they're expecting a different result.
And thank God for people like Matt Gaetz and the Freedom Caucus who are standing up to this because they're like, he's going to do the same thing he's done every time.
He's going to get into power.
He's going to do nothing.
And then he's going to pretend like he's going to own every win.
He's going to shake off every loss.
And he's going to pretend to be fighting for us while he's doing backroom deals with Mitch McConnell and And Paul Ryan, and all of the establishment, and Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi, wherever she is, if she's even still around at that point.
Let's see what the third reason is, because maybe there's something more compelling here.
Let's see what the third reason is.
Here's the third reason.
It says...
Can't make this up.
Finally, electing a new House Speaker is an urgent necessity.
Avoiding a chaotic and possibly prolonged fight makes sense for the GOP and the country.
Americans handed a mandate to the House GOP, and our fellow citizens badly need help.
Spirits sag across our country with consumer confidence recently.
I mean...
So let me recap the three reasons we have to put Kevin McCarthy back in office.
I'll tell you two.
One...
He won, so he deserves it.
Even though he didn't win anything, and he did anemic.
He did the least he possibly could to barely get us a majority, but he deserves to be Speaker of the House for that effort.
Two, I mean, if you listen to what Steve Cortez here says...
He's a reformed man.
He's now the ultra-right nationalist populist.
So he's going to definitely do what he says this time.
It's not like last time, guys.
He's totally different.
It's like the boyfriend that beats their spouse, right?
And then he's like, I've changed, baby.
I've changed.
She lets him back in and then, boom, hits her again.
It's an abusive relationship that these people have us in.
And third, finally...
It's an urgent necessity.
If without somebody representing us as a leader in Congress, then people are going to suffer.
It's like, you mean like the people who will suffer when he gets nominated speaker and then does nothing for them again?
I don't know.
Maybe I'm just...
I don't know.
But remember here, Breitbart chilling hard for McCarthy.
Here's Kevin McCarthy supplants McConnell as the Grim Reaper.
House GOP leader joins threats to block legislation from any Senate Republican who votes for the omnibus.
Look at him.
Look at that picture.
He's scowling and looking over Mitch McConnell's shoulder menacingly.
I mean, Breitbart, you got me.
No, they don't have me, but you know what the funny thing is?
They do have a lot of these, and I mean this with the utmost respect, the boomer conservatives who don't pay attention, who don't really care, you know...
I don't want to get into being derogative, but they get those people every single time.
I mean, it's the same thing.
It's like, yeah, but he's changed now.
He's totally different.
It's all going to go differently now because he changed his mind, okay?
It's like, no, we can't put new people in office.
We have to put the same old people in office and expect different results.
It's not the definition of insanity because he said he's going to do it differently this time, guys.
So...
And I think Trump's making bad decisions for a number of reasons in a lot of ways.
Look, I've said it before.
I publicly, I think Trump's great.
I think he's made a lot of decisions lately that I disagree with, though.
I think he's made a lot of calculations that I don't agree with, and I'm going to be vocal about it when I disagree with it, because if there's one thing we don't need, it's Trump being surrounded by a bunch of yes-men, like is being reported here.
Over with Emerald Robinson, who spoke to John Zydrosny, who is basically reacting to President Trump's lukewarm statement about the chairwoman, and he thinks that Trump's team is corrupt, and that he's got a lot of snakes sitting around him at Mar-a-Lago.
You think?
I've said this before.
Half the people around Trump I don't trust and would never trust in a million years.
But then I'm supposed to trust Trump that he's like, and I get it, you know, he's going to make the better decisions, he's the executive, he's the, you're fired, and I get it.
And I like a lot of what Trump presents in that regard, but I don't like the people that surround him.
I don't like him endorsing Kevin McCarthy, who's a traitor, who's as deep in the swamp and the uniparty deep state as you could get.
And him trying to play ball with these people is just indicative of him backing down.
And again, I know he's been vocal about the fact that the election was stolen in 2020, but...
Everybody who kept telling me, and there was a lot, not you guys, a lot of you guys out there, but there were a lot of people that kept telling me, Trump's going to be put back in office.
You just wait.
He won't even make it to the midterms before he's reinstalled as president.
You'll just wait.
There's a plan.
Trust the plan.
Somebody got mad at me in the comments yesterday because they're like, what's wrong with you?
You don't trust the plan?
Like, I thought you were on board.
I'm like, it's not that I don't trust the plan.
It's that...
You guys treat the plan like it's gospel.
It's not.
A plan is a plan.
It changes.
Just because Q said something in 2018 doesn't mean four years later that that is some secret coded message to you that everything is going to happen exactly as they said it would back in 2018.
And I'm sorry if that bursts whatever bubble that is making you feel good and helping you get through and cope with this.
I understand.
I'm in the same boat.
It's hard to cope with a lot of the realities here, too.
But please, do yourself a favor.
And I say this with humility, knowing that I'm not...
I don't know everything.
There's definitely stuff going on I'm not aware of.
Is the military doing something secretly?
I really can't tell you.
But I can tell you this, that if I know anything, I do know one thing.
It's that plans change.
If the enemy knows our plan then they will change their plans.
And if the enemy changes their plans then we have to change our plans accordingly.
And if we're not getting updates on the plan changes Then it's hard for me to say, well, Q said in 2019 that, you know, some cryptic coded message that can be interpreted, you know, back in the day, it definitely was probably pertaining to things happening in real time in the geopolitical sphere.
But today, it's not necessarily directly connected to current events.
Now, it could be.
And they could be trying to manufacture something.
But please, don't hang your hat on that.
Hold these people to count.
Put their feet to the fire, metaphorically speaking.
Hold Mitch McConnell accountable.
Hold Donald Trump accountable.
Hold Kevin McCarthy accountable.
Make them represent us.
Don't just give them a free pass and say somebody else is going to deal with this.
There's some secret plan I don't know about, but it's all going to work out.
The only thing I know will work out is the fact that God's in control and God's grace is greater.
That's where I put my faith.
I made that mistake once by putting my faith in men.
I'm never going to do that again.
And I'm sorry to you guys who still put your faith in men, whether it's Trump, whether it's Q, whether it's the establishment, rhino, conservative, you know, traitors, or whoever.
I'm not going to do that.
And I hope you don't either.
I hope you only put your faith in one person, and that is Jesus and God, and understand that that is how we get off this planet alive.
It's not by some plan that's going to take over the government and then we're all going to be saved.
It's the same thing as the disciples who were expecting Jesus to get on a horse with a sword and go chop off the head of Caesar and claim victory over the Roman Empire.
Jesus didn't do that.
He established an eternal kingdom in heaven so that we could have life everlasting, and that Meant that this world was going to remain fallen until Jesus returns.
And as far as I know, Jesus has not returned.
Except after his death when he came back in his resurrection.
But he will come again to judge the living and the dead.
And I do believe 100% in my heart of hearts that we cannot put our faith in one man or men or any of that stuff.
And that's why I do this stuff.
I'm trying to get you guys out of this.
Get yourself out of this cycle of The plan's coming.
They took everything away.
Oh, it lost my First Amendment rights.
Oh, they're censoring us.
They're running psyops against us.
They're locking us in D.C. Gitmo gulags.
But the plan's working, right?
Stop that thinking.
Break yourself of that cycle.
You are the Calvary.
We are the Calvary.
We are going to be what saves this country with God at our side, in our hearts, with Jesus who says he's going to be with us to the end of age.
So, I'll tell you what, I'm a trust but verify kind of guy, so that's where I'll leave it.
Alright, a few other stories I want to cover here.
Congress just passed a supersized new budget that's going to include more diversity budget for the Pentagon.
Because they're going to look to historically black colleges.
$131 million for expanding research capacity at places of higher education with outsized minority enrollment.
So it's all racist.
They're committed to diversity, right?
Here it is.
They're committed to diversity.
This is the article.
DOD is looking to HBCUs to craft future military leaders as diversity and inclusion remain top priorities for the department.
So this is what we have to stand up against, guys, because as much as it pains me to say, our entire establishment, from the government to the military, everything else has been infiltrated by people who hate us, who are racists, who hate America, who hate Christians, who want this diversity and inclusion cancer to spread like a metastasizing tumor.
And...
I think it's fair to say at this point that that's why we have to become more active than we are now.
And more outspoken and less apathetic and less just, you know, less of us being like, oh, there's a secret plan and it's all going to come to fruition at just the right time.
You wait and see.
Because that's what they depend on.
They depend on our apathy.
It is a lot, and I think that's where we get, you know, tripped up.
I'm not saying that I'm perfect, that I've made the best, every correct decision throughout the history of everything I've ever done.
I'm saying that I learn as I go, and I learn from my mistakes, and I hope we do.
You guys do, too.
But don't worry, Biden press secretary has told us that you're with the smugglers if you claim the border is open.
Amazingly, as our border is wide open and tens of thousands of people are flooding through it every day, we have millions flooding through our border in what can only be described as an all-out invasion that our enemies must surely be taking advantage of, the White House's response is, you're a smuggler if you say that the border's being overrun as it's being overrun.
Talk about cognitive dissonance.
Talk about gaslighting.
Talk about just the complete inversion of reality.
Talk about, you know, this propaganda that would make Edward Bernays blush.
This is insane because it's so literally demonic.
You cannot make it up.
As the full-on PSYOP is hitting full gear, Stanford Guide says, calling U.S. citizens American is harmful language.
Yep.
So you can't, if you say the border's open, you're a human smuggler.
If you say American, you're a racist, harmful, you know, hating people of color.
Okay.
I guess we live in freaking fantasy world now.

And I just want to tell them, you know, God bless you.
I know what you're feeling right now.
They were telling me about how The stuff that was uncovered with Q helped them figure out that they weren't crazy, that the government is not a good actor.
And I get that.
And I'm not trying to tell you to discount everything Q says and disbelieve it.
I'm saying Q asked a lot of very important questions.
He got a lot of us thinking.
We did research for years, and we're still doing research to expose some of the stuff that was being brought up there.
But...
That doesn't mean that it is some holy gospel that is, you know, sown with secret messages for you to hear all the time that are going to speak to every situation that ever arises from here until the end of time.
That's not how this works.

Okay, so let's get into a few more stories here.
Thought crime.
So this is where we're heading in America, but this is where they're already at over in the UK. A charity volunteer was arrested and charged for silently praying near an abortion facility.
Yep, that's where we're at, ladies and gentlemen.
I hate to break it to you, but...
Charity volunteer in the UK was arrested and charged after she told the police she might be praying silently when questioned for standing on a public street near an abortion facility.
So if you go and want to openly or silently pray, For the children being murdered in an abortion facility in the UK, that's considered hate speech, that's considered threatening, because they have to be able to pull off their demonic evil without any prayers to God involved.
Speaking of clown world and how it's only getting worse, in America here we have this.
Joe Biden was interviewed by Drew Barrymore where he said that Dr.
Jill Biden had a backbone like a ramrod.
Among other just insanity, first of all, Drew Barrymore, I didn't even, like, wasn't she an actress?
What was she in?
She was in, like, wasn't she the girl from E.T.? Isn't that who she was?
And now she's interviewing Joe Biden as, like, Hollywood.
It's all a big sigh-up, guys.
Anyway, in other news, comply or it's going to be serious backlash.
Activist demands $800,000 for every black resident.
Issues a warning to California Reparations Task Force.
So there you go.
Now they're just trying to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars out of taxpayers.
This would equate to millions of dollars out of taxpayers, maybe billions, for reparations, for slavery that they never participated in and that we never did to them.
But you're guilty because of your skin color, because you're evil, because you're white.
That's the logic they use, so do with that what you may.
As educators brag about indoctrinating kids, then complain about right-wingers reporting on it.
Isn't that interesting?
Chicago area high school literacy coach recently recorded herself in which she admits to indoctrinating students in her charge.
But then, when people got mad about it and called her out, she says, why are these right-wingers coming after me?
Oh, okay.
As we have left-wing activists who founded Banned Colorado Springs Antifa Twitter account is actually a trans reporter and former teacher who's been accused of brainwashing students and giving them kinky books.
So I say all this to tell you that take your kids out of public education, first of all, because they're being indoctrinated by these demonic left-wing lunatics.
That's the first thing, if you can, at all possible, get them away from these people.
But secondly, this is the destruction of our society in slow motion.
And it's all because of the societal decay, the cultural decay, this normalization of demonic evil that they're putting on children, stuff like this.
Drag queen performer saying it's time to kick down traditional family values and F the family.
Look at these monsters.
And I hate to dehumanize people, but when you speak that way about the traditional family, saying you need to kick it down and F the family...
And then they're doing stuff like this, you know, where they're promoting, you know, whiskey companies.
I mean, I don't even know where to begin with this, but a whiskey company put out a commercial where a grandpa is secretly a homo tranny, and then he's homo tranny-ing his grandson, and it's like, you wonder why we're having so many problems here.
This is insanity.
A commercial from a whiskey company of all places.
And on top of that, they have these drag shows being normalized and perpetuated.
Fox News did a good report on it with Tucker Carlson.
It was called Family Friendly, where basically, I can't even show you the clip from the show on this show because it's not family friendly.
It's demonic and it's evil and it's perverted and it's sick and disgusting.
So...
They say in these, you know, the Bible says several times throughout it that we're going to face this kind of evil, and we are.
We're in the midst of it.
So, with that being said, let's do our God's Grace is Greater segment we do at the end of every episode.
Today, we're talking about the birth of John the Baptist and basically an incredible story that It talks about the birth and naming of John.
And this is kind of the continuation.
So we're in Luke chapter 1.
And what's fascinating is we're going to finish chapter 1 today.
And then on our last show, which is tomorrow, I forgot to mention that at the beginning.
I should have mentioned that, but let me mention it now.
So basically, I told you guys this in yesterday's video, but I'm going to say it again now.
There will be no videos starting on Thursday.
I'm going to be off for Christmas vacation so I can be with my family.
So I'm going to take off from Thursday of this week until New Year's.
So I'll be back after New Year's.
So after January 1st, on January 2nd, Monday, I'll be back.
We'll be right back at it, you know, five, six episodes a week, doing our normal hour live stream every day.
So...
Except Sundays.
So I hope you guys are ready for that.
But yeah, just to let you know, programming note, the schedule is going to be, I'm doing my live stream tomorrow.
That's my last day before the Christmas vacation break that I'm taking.
Then I'll be off.
From December 22nd until January 1st when I'll be coming back.
So December 22nd to January 1st is going to be the break I'm taking.
And I'll be back right after that and we'll get right back into it.
So just to let you know that that's coming.
But today, we're going to be picking up in these verses in Luke, which, like I was just about, I was kind of saying, the timing's amazing, because today, in our second-to-last episode before Christmas break, I'm going to be talking about the birth and naming of John, the last part of chapter 1 of Luke.
Tomorrow, I'm starting Luke chapter 2.
And I'm going to be basically going through the birth of Christ, doing Christ's birth story.
And we're going to do an extra long episode tomorrow, at least as far as trying to make sure we get to cover all of that before Christmas.
It's God's timing that we got there.
I started Matthew, the Gospel of Matthew, months ago, and there's no way I could have known that we would be starting Luke right before Christmas.
But by God's grace, we have essentially had the perfect timing.
Thanks be to God.
And yeah, it's really cool.
So with that being said, though, let's go ahead and read these verses.
We're finishing Luke chapter 1.
We're starting at verse 57.
Let's read here.
It says, Then they said to her, None of your relatives has that name.
So they motioned to his father to find out what he wanted him to be called.
He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, His name is John.
And they were all amazed.
Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free.
And he began to speak, praising God.
Fear came on all those who lived around them, and all these things were being talked about throughout the hill country of Judea.
All who heard about him took it to heart, saying, What then will this child become?
For indeed the Lord's hand was with him.
Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied.
Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited and provided redemption for his people.
He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets in ancient times, salvation from our enemies and from the clutches of those who hate us.
He has dealt mercifully with our fathers and remembered his holy covenant, the oath that he swore to our father Abraham.
He has given us the privilege, since we have been rescued from our enemies' clutches, to serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness in his presence all our days.
And child, you will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give his people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of our God's merciful compassion.
The dawn from on high will visit us to shine on those who live in darkness and the shadow of death to guide our feet into the way of peace.
The child grew up and became spiritually strong, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Wow.
So that's talking about the birth of John the Baptist.
Now what we talked about previously at the beginning of Luke chapter 1 was this incredible exchange that took place where God's angel Gabriel met Zechariah as he was in the temple burning incense and saying prayers to God.
He was visited by the angel Gabriel where basically Gabriel told him he was going to give birth to a son that was going to give way to the Messiah.
And he had some unbelief in his heart, so the angel actually scorned him and essentially punished him for his unbelief.
Because he doubted, because his wife and him were older, that they could even have a child.
And he basically questioned whether or not the angel Gabriel was telling him the truth, that God had ordained that his son do great things on behalf of the Lord.
So how does the angel essentially punish him?
Well, he makes him essentially a deaf mute.
He basically, he makes his, so he can't speak and he can't hear.
And that was his punishment.
And what you're seeing in the first part of this reading here is amazing.
Because the angel told him that until all of the things the angel prophesied about John came true, and he was born, that Basically, he wouldn't be able to speak or hear.
So you have this exceptionally incredible moment where Elizabeth is about to give birth.
She's older.
She's conceived.
The prophecy is coming true that Gabriel gave to Zechariah and to Elizabeth.
And essentially what happens here is when they go to name the child, which they do a few days after the child's birth, the priest asks...
You know, Elizabeth, what they want to name him.
And because they had been told to give him the name John, which John, I believe, I want to look this up to be exact, but I believe John the Baptist means, let me just look it up here, the exact wording is His name means God is gracious.
I wanted to make sure I got that right.
God's grace.
God is gracious.
That was his name's meaning.
And so this is some powerful moment.
And traditionally back in those days you would name your son after a family member, somebody who had come before.
There would be some connection there.
But They say, nobody in your family is named John.
Why would you name them John?
And they confirm it with Zechariah, who can't speak and can't hear, and they literally have to give him something to write on so he can write, his name is John, and show it to him, and they're like, okay, so we'll name him John.
So when they name him John, a miracle happens.
All of a sudden, Zechariah is not only able to speak, but he's able to hear again.
And it's a fulfillment of God's prophecy.
So he was basically allowed to have his freedom back because everything had come true that Gabriel had said and his punishment had ended or whatever it was that he was being put through.
I don't know a better way to phrase that.
So this is an amazing, amazing story that goes on with Zechariah.
Now his first words after that are giving this incredible prophecy about what John, his son, will do.
Because everybody was talking about this.
This became a wildly popular story among people because they were amazed.
They were like, this is incredible.
This child must be touched by God because what we saw happen to Zechariah and how this all came to be.
Because again, when this happened before, they knew he had seen, had some sort of vision or had some sort of interaction with God because of what happened in the temple when he came out and couldn't speak and couldn't hear.
So it goes on to give this prophecy given by Zechariah, and it talks about how One of my favorite parts here is where it says he's going to make...
He talks about his son John.
He says, Now, is that not what John did exactly?
He helped them find forgiveness of their sins with the baptisms that he actually provided, the water baptisms he even baptized Jesus.
And if you actually think about it, he led the way for the Lord, which is what Jesus said.
He made a way for Jesus to come.
So that was the incredible story of John.
That's his birth, and that is...
Just an incredible prophecy then given by Zechariah who talks about how this is him being dealt with mercifully and that the covenant that was made was remembered and that the oath sworn to Abraham would not be forgotten.
And that he had been given privilege and been rescued from the clutches of his enemies, and that he will do great things, his son would, John, in the name of God, and that it will lead to this great time and guide to the way of peace.
And then it finishes up saying the child grew up and became spiritually strong and was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
So what they talk about is that his parents were older.
So his parents probably died while John was still young.
So he probably spent a lot of time alone and in solitude in the forest.
And then he...
We'll learn more about in the upcoming chapters of Luke, talking about him preparing a way for Jesus.
But tomorrow, we're going to talk about the birth of Jesus in our last episode before Christmas break.
Couldn't have made the timing any better.
Thanks be to God.
But with that being said, let's say a prayer and then we'll wrap it up.
Lord and Heavenly Father, we give such thanks for all you've done.
We pray, Lord, that you'll guide us on our path towards you and show us the way forward.
We give thanks for the amazing story of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus.
We pray that in our hearts we find the same humility that surely must have fell upon Zechariah after his encounter with Gabriel and then knowing that The prophecy that he was given was fulfilled, Lord, to give us hope and a future.
And, Lord, we thank you for that fulfillment.
And we, Lord, pray and thanks for the fulfillment of prophecy that came through your Son, our Lord Jesus, and his sacrifice on the cross for our sins.
As we give thanks most of all for our eternal salvation.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Alright, guys.
I do believe that that is going to wrap it up.
