Gender Mafia

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Well it’s happening folks, the queer, homo, lesbian, trans, furries, and other + individuals have become a left wing Marxist army.  Or at least a terrorist organization.  Many months ago, or was it a couple of years ago, time flies when you are trying to save the country one blog post at a time. I picked what I thought was the perfect name for the crazies who believed in all out immorality.  I named them the Gender Mafia.  Now the name seems to fit.  My reference then was because if you even attempted, which I have in testimony before governmental officials, to stop their radical exhibitionism they would cry, scream and yell at you from the high heavens.  Or should I say the pit of hell. I was called a hateful, arrogant closed minded Christian.  Even though personally I wouldn’t care what they did behind closed doors.  Not my problem, just keep it off the streets and behind a locked door.  Nevertheless they insist on not only flaunting and asking for acceptance but now expecting a celebration of their hedonistic lifestyle. Buckle up!

According to an article in World Net Daily, the FBI is now investigating the pro-gun Armed Queers SLC, a Salt Lake City group whose transgender leader openly supports violence, for possible connections to alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson.  Ermya Fanaeian, who worked on Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren’s (Pocahontas) presidential campaign in 2020 responded to a reporter’s question about needing violence to get the attention of people. She responded “I agree. I absolutely agree.”

The New York Post reports: “Armed Queers SLC quietly scrubbed its online presence after Kirk was assassinated, but a law enforcement source told The Post that all open-source information on the group was downloaded and handed over to the FBI.”

“Fanaeian and Armed Queers SLC are on investigators’ radar as the FBI has widened its probe to include a potential extended network that could have aided Robinson in the Sept. 10 sniper attack at Utah Valley University.”

But in 2020, Fanaeian launched the Salt Lake City chapter of Pink Pistols “whose mission is to arm LGBTQ people,” according to KUER Radio which profiled Fanaeian.

On March 18, a man by the name of Paul Hyon Kim set on fire and shot up a total of five Tesla vehicles. He also left a Molotov cocktail inside one of them. 

Court documents concerning the incident said, “Kim has an Instagram page where he follows the Socialist Rifle Association’s page. In a post from October 2018, on the Reno Socialist Rifle Association’s Instagram page, is a picture of a subject that appears to be Paul Kim training with firearms.”

The Socialist Rifle Association was first incorporated as an organization in the state of Kansas back in 2019. It was founded by Alexander Tackett, who identified as a woman and went by the name Alex Norma Tackett. He owned a queer bookstore — yes, they do exist, it seems — that said, “Lilith [it/she] & Alex Tackett [she/it] are a trans lesbian couple living in Wichita with their six-year-old son,” on its website.

Organization co-founder Faye Ecklar stated, “I believe firearms ownership is necessary because, as a transgender socialist, half the country wants me dead, and the other half is happy to watch. 

There are chapters of the SRA springing up all over the country. Members meet in person for events and also communicate via Discord, the same chat application that Robinson used and was potentially radicalized through. SRA’s attempt to become a tax-exempt group was rejected in spring 2023 due to its failure to submit financial returns for three years. 

Just a couple of days ago I learned of another group that is an offshoot of ANTIFA.  It’s called transtifa.  Yes they are affiliated with that terror group.  It seems they are the radical military wing of the trans movement.  Hmm, that makes sense now.  Always wondered why so many self identifying trans people have suddenly turned violent.  Minnesota shooting, Tennessee shooting and the recent Utah assassination of Charley Kirk all done by a trans person or in Kirk’s case a shooter living with a trans individual. The terror attacks seem to be against schools and churches.  They hate the truth.  Violence, murder and fear is meant to silence free speech, something the Trans Mafia hates. 

Just as the real life Mafia, you do what they say and pay homage or you suffer the consequences.

The Stones Are Screaming: Israel’s Existence Written in Rock

By Tania Curado Koenig

Powerful article for all those who love Israel. Tania is the wife of Bill Koenig. Www.watch.org.

Jerusalem — June 1, 2025 | Published — September 17, 2025

On June 1, 2025, I stood with my husband William on Jerusalem’s Pilgrimage Road — the broad stone street that runs from the Pool of Siloam to the Temple Mount. For centuries it lay buried under earth and silence, but now it has been unveiled in full. Here is the last 600 meters of ascent, where prophets prophesied, where families sang the Psalms of Ascent, where priests carried offerings, and where Jesus Himself once walked.

On the Pilgrimage Road — William and I standing on the very stones where prophets, pilgrims, and Jesus Himself once walked.

As I placed my hand on those ancient steps, I realized: Israel’s existence is not theory. It is not politics. It is not up for debate. Israel’s existence is written in rock.

And this week — September 14–16, 2025 — the world witnessed these rocks testify again, as the Pilgrimage Road was officially opened in a historic ceremony attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Their words became the pillars of this moment: history, covenant, and eternal promise.

Netanyahu: The Stones of History

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not mince words. He reminded the world that archaeology itself is proof:

“In 1998, I hosted the Prime Minister of Turkey… there is a tablet, a stone tablet, in Hebrew, that was found in the tunnel dug 2,700 years ago by King Hezekiah, 300 years after King David… perhaps, except the Dead Sea Scrolls, the most important archaeological discovery in Israel.

I offered an exchange. But he refused, saying there would be outrage if Turkey returned a tablet that would show Jerusalem was a Jewish city 2,700 years ago.”

And Netanyahu concluded with clarity:

“Well, it was a Jewish city 3,000 years ago. Here, right next to these stones and on these pavements, the prophets of Israel prophesied, the kings of Israel walked, the pilgrims came… and this continued for 1,000 years into the time of Jesus, a Jewish rabbi from the Galilee who came here to Jerusalem, the Holy of Holies, and He came here.”

Rubio: The People Remain

Then Secretary of State Marco Rubio stood on the same road, adding the voice of America at Israel’s side. His presence was not symbolic; it was prophetic in itself.

Rubio declared:

“All the civilizations that conquered this city are gone. But one people remain. They have returned. For God’s promise is eternal, and His word is always true.”

Huckabee: The Stones Cry Out

Finally, Ambassador Mike Huckabee gave the words that became the heartbeat of the night. His speech was not just politics; it was Scripture alive:

“It was 4,000 years ago here in this city, on Mount Moriah, where God chose His people. He not only chose a people, but He chose a place, and then He chose for the people in this place a purpose. The people were the Jewish people. The place was Israel, and the purpose was to be a light to the world…

This little sliver of real estate is the most contested land in all of human history — not just because of those who want it, but because of those who don’t want the Jewish people to have it. But tonight something extraordinary we celebrate: the story is not just alive — it is more alive than perhaps it has been in the 4,000 years that God chose His people, His place, His purpose.

…History is to a civilization what memory is to the individual. And tonight this is a celebration of the history of Yerushalayim. Luke 19:40 says: ‘If the crowds keep quiet, the stones will cry out.’ Tonight the stones are crying out. The crowds may say it, but the stones absolutely and 100% validate that the Jewish people not only belong here now, but they have belonged here for 4,000 years since the time God said to Abraham, ‘This is yours.’

…And I salute you and join you tonight in the celebration of this wonderful, magnificent, incredible reminder that God never has been finished with Israel, and He never will be. This is the eternal home that He has chosen. God bless you all.”

With William on the steps of the Pilgrimage Road — where Jesus walked, where David sang, where the stones now cry out.

Why This Moment Matters

So it is clear:
– Netanyahu said: the stones of history prove Jerusalem was Jewish 3,000 years ago.
– Huckabee said: the stones cry out and validate God’s covenant.
– Rubio said: the people remain, because God’s word is eternal.

The nations debate in the UN. Terrorists launch rockets. The world seeks to divide what God has united. But the Pilgrimage Road has been opened, and the stones themselves are answering back.

They declare that Jerusalem is eternal. That Israel is the wife of the Almighty God, Adonai (Ezekiel 16). That Israel exists not by chance but by covenant. That God keeps His promises.

The Stones and the Covenant

I believe that when I walked the Pilgrimage Road on the 1st of June, 2025, with my husband William, there was an anointing resting on those stones. Not only the anointing of the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, Yeshua the Messiah of Israel, but also the echo of King David, the psalmist who gave Jerusalem her eternal songs.

Here Paul once preached. Here Jesus once spoke. Here David once wrote. And here the stones still shout, just as Jesus Himself declared: “I tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out” (Luke 19:40).

These stones scream for the existence of Israel. They scream for the land the Lord Himself has chosen. They scream for the covenant God never abandoned.

Through the prophet Ezekiel, God calls Israel His wife (Ezekiel 16). Through the psalms, He sealed Jerusalem as His eternal dwelling. And through these stones, He is still testifying: His promises remain.

So I close with the words of David, words that bind us to memory and covenant:

“If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget her skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy” (Psalm 137:5–6).

This is not poetry alone. This is history underfoot. This is covenant carved in stone. This is prophecy alive in the dust and in the air of Jerusalem.

And tonight, as in every generation, the stones are not silent.

They are screaming: Jerusalem is home. Israel lives. God is

Turkey; A Rogue Nation On The Rise

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

I have said for many years that Russia, even though they will be leading the Ezekiel 38 coalition that moves against Israel in the last days, is not the primary nation to worry about. I think Turkey is going to be an instigator just as much if not more than Russia. Yes Russia seems to be the primary nation from the far north, however, many of the nations that are mentioned are not only Muslim but have been a part of the old Ottoman Empire.  

The leader of Turkey is a dictator. His human rights record is horrible.  Edorgen imagines himself an end time leader to bring a resurgence of the caliphate.  He has visions of grandeur.  He walks a tightrope as a member of NATO, but also staying true to his Muslim brothers. At times he has ignored Israel, but most recently the rhetoric that is being hurled against Israel by Turkey is troublesome. Turkey has 450,000 troops ready to march, second among NATO forces, and  a sophisticated drone wing as well as working on missile technology. Turkey is now a rogue nation, threatening Israel, and others in the Middle East, including Syria, and having a close relationship with Russia and China.  This is a nation that needs to be taken seriously.

Perhaps the most dangerous element of Erdoğan’s strategy lies to Israel’s north. Turkey has entrenched itself in Syria, creating zones of influence just across Israel’s border. This puts Turkish forces—and the Islamist militias it backs—perilously close to Israel’s northern frontier. For Israel, the nightmare scenario is clear, Turkey an established state with advanced weaponry, a massive army, and global alliances.

Again, we are living in prophetic times. We understand that Russia will lead a coalition from the north to move on against Israel in what is called Ezekiel 38 war. However, it is Turkey that will be right with them and maybe even pushing them in that direction . Russia will probably have much more economic reasons from moving the Ezekiel 38 war against Israel, but Turkey has an intense hatred of the Jewish people.  Religious  hatred in the Middle East is powerful for war. 

 Turkey has already reshaped battlefields from Nagorno-Karabakh to Ukraine, and its defense industry is expanding rapidly. This combination of military power, strategic geography, and ideological fervor makes Turkey a unique threat. Iran may be Israel’s most immediate adversary, but Turkey’s long-term potential is greater: 

  • a modern state
  • a powerful army
  • and a leader bent on empire.

More Dangerous Than Iran?

For years, Israeli leaders and analysts have worried about Tehran’s nuclear clock. But what if the greater danger is Ankara’s ambition clock?  Iran represents a sectarian Shi‘ite power; Turkey represents the possibility of a pan-Sunni revival.

Where Iran builds power through fear, Turkey builds it through influence—through trade, cultural ties, religious rhetoric, and the promise of Islamic unity. In many ways, this is the more potent formula. A leader who can unite diverse Muslim nations under the banner of Jerusalem’s “liberation” poses a threat that reaches far beyond rockets and centrifuges.

For those who read history with the Bible in hand, the rise of Turkey as Israel’s adversary should not come as a surprise. Ezekiel 38 describes a vast northern coalition led by “Gog of the land of Magog” that will one day march against Israel. Among the nations listed are Meshech and Tubal—regions that many scholars trace back to modern-day Turkey.

This prophecy outlines not just a sudden attack, but a deliberate alignment of nations under a leader who seeks to destroy Israel in the latter days. We are told that this coalition will include Persia (modern Iran), Cush, Put (North Africa), and others—but Turkey may very well be the spearhead of the end-time invasion

Never fear, it will not be Israel’s strength that saves them on that day, but it will be the very hand of God that will fight on Israel‘s behalf. As a noted radio personality, and defender of the faith Jan Markell has said recently, “the pieces are not falling apart, they’re falling into place.”  Maranatha

CONSTITUTION DAY: How the Bible and Faith of Our Founders Helped ‘Secure the Blessings of Liberty’

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Paul Strand As a freelance reporter for CBN’s Jerusalem bureau and during 27 years as senior correspondent in CBN’s Washington bureau, Paul Strand has covered a variety of political and social issues, with an emphasis on defense, justice, government, and God’s providential involvement in our world. Strand began his tenure at CBN News in 1985 as an evening assignment editor in Washington, D.C. After a year, he worked with CBN Radio News for three years, returning to the television newsroom to accept a position as a senior editor in 1990. Strand moved back to the nation’s capital in 1995.

September 17th celebrates Constitution Day, marking that key American document’s ratification. Some question why it’s said America was founded as a Christian nation since there’s no mention of God in the Constitution. But leading Christian historian Peter Lillback explains while the Lord’s name may not appear, the Constitution is deeply rooted in God’s teachings, ways and words.

The Founding Fathers who wrote and signed the Constitution saw themselves as men of faith, and used what they learned from a lifetime of reading and studying God’s Word to help form the new nation’s law and government.

‘We Were Shaped by the Bible’

“I like to say that it’s not that we established a Christian country,” Lillback told CBN News. “But without Christian values, we would never have established THIS kind of country. We were shaped by the Bible.”

Outside the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia where the Preamble of the Constitution is displayed in huge letters on the outside of the building, Lillback showed phrase by phrase how the Preamble reflects biblical values the Founders knew well.

The Preamble begins like this: 

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…”

Lillback explained that their intention was clearly for a “more perfect Union”, not one that was already perfected. “It begins by saying ‘We the People of the United States’ come together to make a ‘more perfect union’,” this founder of the Providence Forum said. “They want to be one; they know they can’t be perfect. They want to be ‘more perfect’. That’s a biblical idea: ‘we’re trying to get better. We can progress.’”

As for that word “union,” Lillback asked, “Remember how the Bible says ‘how blessed it is when brothers dwell together in unity?’  That’s a biblical value.”

‘Do Justice, Love Mercy’

Then it says “…establish Justice…”   

Lillback quotes Micah 6:8: “‘The Lord has shown you what He requires of you, o man: that you would do justice, love mercy.’ Justice is a biblical concern. Some would say the Ten Commandments define justice.”

Next, it says “…insure domestic Tranquility…”

The Providence Forum founder commented, “That’s to make sure that we live together in peace with one another.  Paul will say in Romans chapter 12, ‘As much as lies within me, I will live at peace with all men.’ The idea of tranquility is a great biblical concern.”

Defense is a Biblical Concern

Next: “…provide for the common defense…”

“To make sure that the vulnerable are protected. We know that one of the great principles of God’s law is to defend the orphan and the widow, the stranger in the land,” Lillback pointed out “And to make sure that there’s not an unjust assault against the community by a foreign power. These are biblical concerns.”

Next: “…promote the general Welfare…”

“As much as lies within us, we should do good to all men, especially to those in the household of faith,” said Lillback who is also the president of Westminster Theological Seminary. “The idea of providing for the needy, that is a concern that’s reflected in biblical ethics.” 

‘Liberty is a Gift of God’

Next:  “…and secure the Blessings of Liberty…”

“I always like to say that the word ‘blessing’ is a word you don’t hear atheists using. The very nature of blessing is something that is being given to us from God,” Lillback explained. “And liberty is something that God has blessed us with.  In fact, we find it in the jubilee text of Leviticus 25 and verse 10 that’s on the Liberty Bell: ‘proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof.’ Liberty is a gift of God.”

Finally: “…to ourselves and our posterity.”

“Our Founders remembered God’s covenantal vision that ‘I will be your God and the God of your children to a thousand generations after you.’ When you talk about to our posterity, that’s the ring of covenantal succession. That’s right out of the scriptures,” Lillback said. “It goes back to the Abrahamic covenant.”

God’s a Lawgiver, Judge & Ruler.  We have Lawgivers, Judges & a President

Then the Constitution lays out our legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government. And all three reflect different aspects of God Himself, shown in the Bible.

“In Isaiah 33:22 where it talks about how our God is a God who is a LAWGIVER — who is in fact a JUDGE. He’s also a king or a RULER. Again, derivatives of God’s very Word, God’s very nature.”

And so the Founders who knew their Bible so well created a government that could imitate and reflect these aspects of God.

A Republic: Can We Keep It?

When a woman asked Benjamin Franklin what kind of government the Constitutional Convention has just come up with, he replied, “A republic if you can keep it.”

And how can we keep it?

Historian Lillback recalled, “Washington said ‘It is impossible for us to succeed unless we imitate the divine author of our blessed religion.’ Those are the words that he said to each of the governors as he was stepping down as a successful general. And in his farewell address as president: ‘Religion and morality are indispensable supports for our political prosperity’.”  

“Remember the logic: to have a republic, you need to have people who are moral because a republic is written on a piece of paper.  Are you going to do what it says?   You have to be committed to doing what is right,” Lillback explained.  “How do you get a moral people?  You need to have a religious people. ‘Religion and morality are indispensable for our political prosperity’.”

No Constitution has Lasted Longer

He summed up for CBN News what the Bible and religious faith did for America through our Founders.

He said, “By learning from His Word, we gain wisdom, and that wisdom creates the longest continuously used Constitution on the face of the earth.”

After Charlie Kirk’s Death: A Movement Weeping, A Rift Over Israel By Tania Curado Koenig

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Please read prayerfully. Rh

September 11, 2025 

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has sharpened an already raw debate inside the conservative world. At the center is not only the question of who killed him, but also the deeper issue of where the American Right now stands on Israel. The Turning Point USA Student Action Summit (SAS), held July 11–13, 2025 in Tampa Bay, Florida, revealed a movement divided: some voices defending Israel with conviction, others drifting toward rhetoric that echoes classic antisemitic tropes.

As Kirk himself told Megyn Kelly on August 6, 2025 — just one month before his death: “I think I have a bulletproof résumé showing my defense of Israel. I believe in the scriptural land rights given to Israel. I believe in the fulfillment of prophecy. My life was changed in Israel. The spiritual energy is so amazing there. I want them to win.”

The Conspiracy Swirl

The circumstances of Kirk’s assassination have ignited a storm of speculation. Who ordered the killing? Was it a lone sniper, or was the act part of a wider plot to silence one of the most visible pro-Israel voices on the American Right? In the absence of clarity, conspiracy theories multiply. Some point to foreign enemies, others to domestic extremists, and still others whisper about deeper networks that want to fracture the MAGA movement from within. What is undeniable is that Kirk’s death has become a symbolic battlefield where narratives of distrust, suspicion, and political warfare now rage.

Enemies Rejoicing

While conservatives mourn, many on the radical Left and among pro-Hamas activists are openly rejoicing. For them, Kirk’s death is seen not as a tragedy but as a victory over a man who symbolized unapologetic alignment with Israel. It is not Islam as a whole, nor the billions of Muslims worldwide, but the radicalized factions—Hamas supporters, pro-Palestinian agitators, and anti-Israel extremists—who are celebrating. Their glee exposes the reality that Kirk’s murder is not just a political assassination but part of a larger ideological conflict. To them, every pro-Israel voice that falls is another step toward silencing the defense of Jerusalem.

A Prophetic Pattern

There is also a deeper spiritual pattern that cannot be ignored. Throughout history, those who stand boldly with Israel have drawn fierce opposition—whether through ridicule, political backlash, or violence. Kirk’s own words in 2025 about Israel’s biblical land rights and prophetic destiny placed him squarely in that tradition. It is no coincidence that the powers hostile to Israel—both seen and unseen—react when a defender rises. His “bulletproof résumé” was not only a political statement but also a spiritual banner. His assassination reveals once again that the conflict over Israel is not merely geopolitical, but profoundly prophetic.

Charlie Kirk’s Position

Kirk’s legacy is complicated but clear on one crucial point: he remained pro-Israel. Israeli leaders hailed him as a friend in the hours after his death. Yet in 2025, Kirk was also outspoken against U.S. military involvement in the Israel–Iran war. His line was blunt: “Iran is Israel’s war, not America’s.” He warned Donald Trump and Republican hawks that dragging the United States into another Middle East conflict would fracture the MAGA base. This position—pro-Israel in principle, anti-intervention in practice—defined his final months. It also underscored the generational tension on the Right: loyalty to Israel, yes, but with rising resistance to foreign entanglements.

Tucker Carlson’s Provocation

At SAS, Tucker Carlson was given the prime slot. He used it to speculate about Jeffrey Epstein, Mossad, and Israel in language many judged conspiratorial and hostile. The crowd roared with energy, but the substance rattled Jewish leaders. The American Jewish Committee even issued a rebuke after Megyn Kelly and Kirk entertained Carlson’s framing on air. Carlson’s words tapped into a generational current: a rising skepticism among Gen Z conservatives toward unconditional support for Israel. What once was an unshakable plank of the conservative movement now drew cheers when challenged.

Sidebar: Voices at the Student Action Summit

Charlie Kirk: “Iran is Israel’s war, not America’s.” — June 2025, warning against U.S. entry into the Israel–Iran conflict. Takeaway: Pro-Israel, but anti-intervention. Tucker Carlson: “Was Jeffrey Epstein working for Mossad? Why is no one asking that?” — July 2025, SAS keynote. Takeaway: Anti-Israel framing, leaning on conspiratorial tropes; drew big crowd energy but heavy backlash.

The Generational Divide

SAS revealed that Kirk had not turned against Israel—he had not. But the movement he helped build is no longer unified. Free-speech absolutism and anti-intervention instincts are colliding with older evangelical loyalties to Israel. Carlson’s framing resonated with many Gen Z attendees, while Kirk’s own testimony reminded the movement of its spiritual and prophetic roots.

What This Means Going Forward

For the MAGA movement, the task is unavoidable: to decide whether its future will carry forward Israel’s defense or drift toward voices that normalize suspicion, conspiracy, and hostility. Charlie Kirk’s assassination froze his stance in time—pro-Israel but wary of American entanglement. His platforming choices, however, handed the microphone to rhetoric that blurred the lines. The tragedy also revealed how swiftly enemies of Israel—from radical activists to terrorist sympathizers—rejoice when a defender of Israel is silenced. That response itself is a prophetic sign of the times, exposing the true nature of the conflict. The choice before the movement is the same choice before America: will it honor clarity of vision, or will it allow the loudest voices—and the darkest enemies—to redefine the terms?

Closing Note

America is in deep pain. A nation is grieving the loss of a man who shaped a generation of young conservatives and boldly testified his defense of Israel. This wound is not only political; it is personal for millions who feel shaken, disoriented, and sorrowful in this moment. Our hearts cry with Erika, his wife, who is devastated. We pray that she will be comforted by the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who ministers in the darkest hour, and that their children will be surrounded with peace and strength. We also lift America before the Lord, asking for healing, clarity, and protection in this time of mourning. May the Holy Spirit not only comfort Erika and her family but also bring consolation to a nation weeping. And above all, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, as Scripture commands: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may those who love you be secure” (Psalm 122:6).

ControllingThe Narrative

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Leftists and progressives know that what people believe to be true shapes and controls them, whether it is true or not. In other words, people are not controlled by truth – they’re controlled by what we believe to be true! Language shapes culture. Words influence thinking, thinking forms beliefs, beliefs create actions, and actions shape the culture. Pretty simple. 

Some have said that until you hear something over and over you never really grasp the concept of what you heard.  Rehearsing in your mind.  What you think, or believe becomes a part of you.  That is why the “mocking bird media” is so effective.  It takes a strong person to not believe what a vast majority of people may be saying repeatedly.  Some have even suggested that the Viet Nam war was ok in the minds of Americans, until Walter Cronkite began to speak out against it.  Interesting, but he was a trusted news source. Unfortunately the media makes it seem there is consensus, when there really isn’t.  There is only one truth.  The Word of God

  • Murder is bad; call it “abortion.” 
  • Riots are bad; call them “mostly peaceful” protests. 
  • Reverse racism is bad; call it “DEI – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”. 
  • Taking people’s hard-earned money is bad; call it “democratic socialism.” 
  • Defunding the police is bad (and stupid); call it “reallocating funds.”

The Scriptures confirm this. Consider the verse from Proverbs 23:7, which tells us that “as a person thinks within himself, so is he.” Some translations say that as a person thinks in his “heart,” so is he. The Hebrew word is nephesh, the word for “soul” – the mind, emotions, and will. As your soul thinks, so are you.  Opening our mind to dwell on the wrong ideas is a dangerous game to play.  Once that thought gets inside our mind, it can be difficult to turn away from it.  

Don’t misunderstand, I am not talking about positive thinking, but truly accepting that there is truth and it is the Word of God.  Thinking and putting Biblical principles in our mind makes a difference. (see scriptures below)

  2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down arguments (thoughts) and every high thing (prideful; do our own thing) that exalts itself against the knowledge God for pulling down strongholds (thoughts become strongholds) they shape us and give us a habit that can destroy us.  Or at best we become double minded unable to discern good from evil.   

Romans 12:2 transformed by the renewing of our mind

Ephesians 4:23-24  be renewed in the spirit of your mind

  • That marriage doesn’t have to be between a man and woman; all that matters is love.
  • That marriage isn’t really necessary at all; just live together until the excitement ends, then find another mate. 
  • That children are a nuisance, an inconvenience, and unnecessary interruptions in one’s career.
  • That sin and Satan are fun, while God and righteousness are boring. 
  • That absolute truth doesn’t exist; all is relative and to be determined by ever-changing standards. And many more lies.

Educators in America have indoctrinated and poisoned the minds of a generation that there is no God. If there is no God or Creator, then there is no purpose, destiny, or design; all is by accident and happenstance. This allows one to believe their body is a mistake: they have the body of a male, when they’re actually a female trapped in the wrong body. Or vice versa. The answer? Go to work changing it: take pills to kill the male parts. Better yet, cut them off.

Don’t believe the lie.  Going against God’s order will only cause chaos and destruction for ourselves and our nation.  God bring back Godly values and a great move of the Holy Spirit to transform our nation before we go off the proverbial cliff.  

Why Silicon Valley Will Talk About The Antichrist-But the Church Won’t

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Please read the article below, it is a sign of the times we live in that Churches and Pastors will not preach on Biblical prophecy, but a tech billionaire with conflicting “spiritual” ideas would convene a private conference to talk about the anti-christ. When people search for truth, the Church must respond with Biblical truth not a hodgepodge of various unproven intellectual theories. Sign of the times! Rh

When a man like Peter Thiel announces a four-part lecture series on the Antichrist, it’s not just another tech mogul musing about the future–it’s a cultural moment. Thiel, the billionaire co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, investor in Facebook, and long-time power player in conservative politics, is no stranger to controversy. 

He’s been at Trump’s side as a trusted adviser, helping shape a recent executive order that critics warn opens the door to mass surveillance. He’s a contrarian’s contrarian: libertarian and conservative, gay and yet drawn to Christianity, immersed in Silicon Valley but increasingly fascinated by scripture.

Now, beginning September 15 at San Francisco’s Commonwealth Club, Thiel will deliver four off-the-record lectures on the Antichrist–closed-door, no transcripts, no recordings. Organized by the Acts 17 Collective, the talks promise to explore the “theological and technological dimensions” of this apocalyptic figure, drawing on everyone from René Girard to Carl Schmitt.  

A major lecture series in Silicon Valley touching on prophecy, AI, and even the concept of an Antichrist figure sold out almost instantly. Tech leaders and cultural influencers are lining up to hear speculation about humanity’s end, yet the pews remain quiet.

And here’s the question every Christian should be asking: Why is Peter Thiel talking about the Antichrist when so many pastors won’t?

Why Thiel, why now?

Thiel has always been fascinated by the intersection of faith, politics, and technology. In interviews, he has speculated that the Antichrist might rise to power not through brute force but by constant talk of peace and safety–language eerily familiar in a world teetering between global wars and technological upheaval.

Yet the secrecy of these lectures raises another layer of intrigue. Why keep them closed-door? Why not livestream them if the goal is spiritual exploration? The answer, perhaps, is that Thiel isn’t trying to hold a Bible study. He’s staging an intellectual salon, where theology, power, and politics are blurred. Some see it as honest searching; others, as elitism dressed up in religious language.

Who’s shaping Thiel’s thinking?

The Acts 17 Collective, the nonprofit behind the event, brands itself as “Acknowledging Christ in Technology and Society.” It was co-founded by Michelle Stephens, who has explained that their mission is to create spaces for deep discussion among people who might never set foot in a traditional church. In many ways, Acts 17 reflects Silicon Valley’s new fascination with Christianity–not as humble faith, but as a cultural and intellectual wellspring to be mined.

Thiel’s religious inspirations are eclectic. René Girard, the French Catholic thinker, is his intellectual lodestar. Add Francis Bacon, Jonathan Swift, Carl Schmitt, and John Henry Newman, and you get a strange mix: a blend of literature, philosophy, political theology, and fragments of Catholic and Protestant thought. But absent in this list is the plain, straightforward teaching of scripture.

And that’s the problem. Thiel may be sincere, but sincerity does not equal orthodoxy. As many Christian observers have already warned, when theology is shaped more by philosophers than prophets, the result is often distorted.

Where does this line up with scripture?

Let’s be blunt: it doesn’t. Thiel is an openly gay man whose worldview is a hybrid of cultural Christianity, intellectual philosophy, and Silicon Valley futurism. That alone puts him at odds with historic Christian orthodoxy. Yet he speaks on the Antichrist–a figure central to eschatology–while countless pastors dodge the subject.

In one sense, it’s commendable that Thiel is willing to ask these questions. But it also exposes the failure of the American church. Why are we letting a tech billionaire take the stage on biblical prophecy while pastors–the shepherds of God’s people–remain silent?

Why pastors won’t touch the Antichrist

This is the most stinging indictment. The reason Silicon Valley talks about the Antichrist while pulpits stay quiet isn’t because the subject is unimportant. It’s because the church has grown timid.

Many pastors don’t preach on the Antichrist, not because scripture is unclear, but because they themselves don’t know what they believe. Seminary trained them to doubt prophecy. Some dismiss Revelation as allegory. Others treat Daniel and Thessalonians as culturally irrelevant. In countless pulpits, prophecy is written off as “too divisive,” “too speculative,” or “not practical for everyday life.”

The result? A generation of Christians starving for answers in an age of global chaos–and instead of hearing from their pastors, they hear from Peter Thiel.

Isn’t it remarkable? The man who co-founded a surveillance giant like Palantir is willing to speculate on the Antichrist, while shepherds of God’s people pretend the subject doesn’t matter. Many churches, fearful of sensationalism, have abandoned eschatology altogether. The irony is devastating.

What Christians should take from this

Thiel’s lecture series is a flashing neon sign. It says: The world is interested in prophecy, even if the church is not.

Christians should not hand over the conversation about the Antichrist to billionaires, philosophers, or nonprofits mixing DJ parties with theology. If anything, this moment should awaken the church to reclaim the teaching of prophecy–not with wild speculation, but with biblical clarity.

We must discern motivation. Is Thiel trying to honor Christ, or is he reinterpreting Him through a Silicon Valley lens?

We must return to scripture. Not Girard, not Schmitt, not cultural Christianity. But Daniel, Paul, John, and Jesus’ own words about the end of the age.

We must confront cowardice. Pastors who avoid prophecy out of fear or ignorance are failing their flocks.

Who will speak with authority?

The irony is almost unbearable. A gay billionaire, steeped in power politics and tech culture, is willing to wrestle with the Antichrist. Meanwhile, many churches either avoid prophecy altogether or sneer at those who take it seriously.

This moment demands a decision. Will the church continue to abdicate the prophetic conversation to Silicon Valley elites, or will pastors rediscover their courage to preach the whole counsel of God–including the parts about judgment, deception, and the return of Christ?

One thing is certain: if the pulpit remains silent, others will fill the void. And as Peter Thiel’s lecture series shows, those voices will not always lead people closer to the truth. Prophecy News Update

Moral Values

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Righteousness exalts a nation, 

But sin is a disgrace to any people. Proverbs 14:3

The founding of America was based on Judeo-Christian values.  Morality, acknowledgment of an Almighty God.  Our founders thought morally, with a Biblical worldview.  Edmund Burke (1729-1797) put the matter well in his famous statement: ”All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”  Most Christians understand that America is in a serious state of moral, social, cultural, and especially political decline.  This implies that America has fallen from a better situation to a worse situation.  As Christians we recognize a connection between a country’s religious faith and its adherence to the Word of God.  We have fallen because we have turned our back as a nation from Almighty God to a god of our own making. Let me share a warning before I go further, “The wicked will return to Sheol; Even all the nations who forget God” (Psalms 9:17).

Previously I stated we have made our own gods, (small g) which are not gods at all but we place them just as Israel did, before our worship and recognition of the Lord.  We have chosen the god of self.  We do as we please, following “our heart”, except the Bible says our “heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9.  We worship the god of prosperity and pride.  We worship the god of pleasure, if it feels good we do it.  Morality is not an absolute, but just merely a suggestion on how to live.  Today we aren’t even sure if the Bible is true, or If it even matters since many don’t believe in the Lord, except the one that gives them freedom to live as they wish.

Climate change is also a religion that puts the creation above the creator.  Mankind destroying the environment is not settled fact, however we must tax and buy carbon credits (penance) to escape our doom.  I could go on forever.  Let’s not forget evolution, a baby is a fetus etc.  

We can look back on our history and realize that we have been greatly influenced by our Christian faith.  We have never officially been a Christian Republic, but those roots run deep in our past prosperity.  Unfortunately, our national situation is much different today.  Barack Obama (while Senator and later as President) has repeatedly sought to distance America from its Christian heritage.  In 2006, he stated that “whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.”  In 2007 in Turkey of all places, he stated ”we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”  This might be the only statement BHO ever said that I could agree with, sadly.

We are in trouble until we accept the truth that we have sinned and turned our back on Jesus Christ.  Repentance and a turning away from sin is mandatory to renew morality in America.  God be merciful to us.
