Facebook says it’s ‘hate speech’ to refer to Islamic terrorists as ‘Muslims’
One of the obvious issues with ‘hate speech’ rules is just how arbitrarily they can be applied by those in power. Take Facebook, for instance: This week we were banned not only for referring to Islamic terrorists as “Muslims”, but also for an article we shared which was critical of Facebook for using ‘hate speech’ violations as a means of censoring unapproved ideas. According to Facebook, breaching their standards and policy “could lead to limitations such as a Page being unpublished, reduced distribution and more.” It’s becoming a real issue, as anyone following Senator Ted Cruz and the Senate Judiciary…
The New York Times says, the Moon landing was sexist
The New York Times has published a bizarre piece today, suggesting the Apollo program is inherently sexist because it was created “by men, for men.” “To make it to the Moon, women have to escape Earth’s gender bias,” the article states. “The Apollo program was designed by men, for men. But NASA can learn from its failures as it aims to send women to the moon and beyond.” The Apollo program was designed by men, for men. If we do not acknowledge the gender bias of the early space program, it becomes difficult to move past it. https://t.co/Mt7rVLgAaf — The…
If You Use This App, You’re Being Watched
There’s no question that China is a nation of rampant government surveillance. However, what you may not be aware of is that you are currently being watched if you are a WeChat user. In an era of countless social media applications, it’s normal to download whatever application is popular for communication without considering the ‘Terms and Conditions.’ So what’s the big deal with WeChat? It’s important to understand the history of WeChat in order to understand how it got to where it is today. Here’s a brief history of the company: January 2011 — Chinese company, ‘Tencent,’ debuts the messaging…
Fed-up academics pen ridiculously fake papers, prominent academic journals publish their nonsense as “excellent scholarship”
Three left-leaning academics were stunned to discover several ridiculously fake papers they’d penned were accepted and published by prominent academic journals. The trio, fed-up with the political corruption that’s taken hold of the universities, submitted a number of papers written on ridiculous subjects to 20 prominent academic journals in the fields of gender, race, and sexuality. Seven of the submitted papers were accepted and published by the journals. One of the papers, which was honoured as “excellent scholarship,” claimed that dog humping incidents at dog parks can be taken as “evidence of rape culture.” “I closely and respectfully examined the…
Rainbow Activists Vandalise Reformation Monument
The Reformation Wall is the latest target of the ever tolerant and accepting rainbow brigade. The Geneva monument depicting notable Protestant figures, William Farel, John Calvin, Theodora Beza, and John Knox, was covered with rainbow paint by vandals this week, Evangelical Focus reported. The wall is located in the grounds of the University of Geneva, which was founded by John Calvin in 1559. The monument was constructed to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Calvin’s birth and the 350th anniversary of the university’s establishment. “The world understands that biblical Christianity is diametrically opposed to the favorite dogmas of contemporary political…

Franklin Graham warns: Christians will be persecuted ‘as never before’ if the ‘Equality Act’ becomes law
Rev. Franklin Graham has warned the Equality Act will have “catastrophic consequences” for both religious freedom and women’s rights if it becomes law. According to Life Site News: “The Equality Act would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include ‘sex,’ ‘sexual orientation,’ and ‘gender identity’ among expressly recognized ‘non-discrimination’ categories in ‘public accommodations’ (the definition of which would be dramatically expanded); and force employers of 15 or more people to recognize their claimed ‘gender identity,’ forbid them from ‘discriminating’ based on ‘sexual orientation’ or ‘gender identity,’ and mandate transgender ‘access’ to sex-specific facilities.” In the latest issue of the Billy…
Denmark makes it harder for parents to divorce: Launches mandatory course and reflection time for parents to consider the impact on children
Denmark will now require parents seeking a divorce to undergo a mandatory online course and wait three months before separating. According to The Christian Post: “The Danish Parliament agreed in March to implement a mandatory ‘reflection period’ of three months and require parents who have children 18 years old and younger to take an online course before a divorce can be finalized.” The course, called ‘Co-operation After Divorce’ is designed to help couples reflect on the ramifications of divorce, especially from the perspective of their children. Parents who fail to complete the course within the three-month waiting period will not…
Two Brands of Christianity?
An article in the Spectator Australia by Terry Barnes applauded Scott Morrison’s squishy love Gospel and harpooned Israel Folau’s fierce “fire and brimstone” Gospel. It juxtaposed the two Pentecostals as altogether different brands of Christianity: one of unforgiveness and damnation, the other of forgiveness and love. Naturally, having carefully crafted such a context for comment, Terry praised Morrison’s interesting as it is an ambiguous exhortation, “Wherever you are, be who God made you.” Barnes inferred from this a divine endorsement on the entire list of Scripturally prohibited behaviours which Folau quoted, contrasting the “heartless” footballer’s meme and the Prime Minister’s positivity.…
The Uniting Church Chooses to Die
The 2019 Synod of the Uniting Church of Victoria and Tasmania has recently voted to allow the practice of euthanasia in all of its health care facilities.

Feminist author who wrote a book based on a simple historical misunderstanding realizes her error live on air
It’s every writer’s worst nightmare. You spend countless hours researching, writing and promoting your latest book—claiming to have discovered something all of the professional scholars have strangely missed—when it’s revealed that your interpretation is clearly flawed. But that’s precisely what has happened to Naomi Wolf, and it’s not the first time it’s happened either. Back in 1992 Wolf published the feminist classic, The Beauty Myth, (New York: Doubleday) in which she argued that 150,000 women die of anorexia in America every year. What’s more, Wolf compared this to the Holocaust stating: When confronted with a vast number of emaciated bodies…
New push to normalize polyamory and promote inclusivity for people who want multiple sexual partners
The American Psychological Association (APA) is forming a task force to “promote awareness and inclusivity” of people who engage in sexual relationships with multiple partners, such as people who practice polyamory and swinging. According to the website for Division 44 of the APA, the task force is designed to address the needs of those who wish to practice polyamory “including their intersecting marginalized identities” without the social and medical stigmatization. “These include but are not limited to: people who practice polyamory, open relationships, swinging, relationship anarchy and other types of ethical, non-monogamous relationships,” the website states. The task force’s stated…
Muslim jihadists massacre entire Christian village: ‘No one was spared — women, children, elderly people’
Muslim jihadists in Mali have slaughtered over 100 Christians and wiped out an entire village in the nation’s worst massacre in over 70-years. A contact told the Barnabas Fund: “the jihadists encircled the isolated village of ethnic Dogon people at night and set fire to everything that moved in a well-targeted attack.” According to a BBC report, one survivor told the AFP agency: “About 50 heavily armed men arrived on motorbikes and pickups. They first surrounded the village and then attacked – anyone who tried to escape was killed.” “No one was spared — women, children, elderly people,” he added.…
Christian doctor suing government after he was fired for identifying patients according to their biological gender
A Christian doctor who was fired by the UK government after he refused to identify his patients by anything other than their biological gender, is suing his former employer for discrimination. Dr David Mackereth worked for 26-years as an NHS doctor before he was sacked from his position as a Department for Work and Pensions disability assessor. The 55-year-old was deemed “unfit to work” after he refused to identify his patients by their preferred gender pronoun. The father-of-four said it would be dishonest for him to act contrary to his beliefs and warned of the dangers in not allowing doctors…
Rugby Australia to release the ‘New Rugby Revised Version’ of the Bible
There are well-substantiated rumours that Australian Rugby is seeking to produce a coffee table revision of the Christian Scriptures, to be called the New Rugby Revised Version (NRRV). Some of the contents have had to be changed. Sodom and Gomorrah are showered with blessings, and Lot’s wife is turned into a pillar of the PC establishment. No real place could be found for John the Baptist, who has been relegated to a footnote while Herod Antipas receives an unusually favourable press. But the enduring message remains the same: Christ Jesus came into the world to try to make people nice.
Tommy Robinson asks President Trump for help: ‘grant me and my family political asylum’
Tommy Robinson has filmed an impassioned plea to Donald Trump, asking the President and his administration to grant him and his family political asylum in the United States. In a video aired by InfoWars and later uploaded to social media, Robinson states: My name is Tommy Robinson, today I am calling on the help of Donald Trump, his administration, and the Republican Party, to grant me and my family political asylum in the United States of America. Robinson went on to say: I’ve been found guilty of exercising what is the equivalent of exercising First Amendment rights. Benjamin Franklin had…
Christian student wins appeal after he was expelled for expressing a biblical view of marriage
Two years after marriage was redefined in the U.K., Felix Ngole found himself in a discussion on Facebook. The topic was same-sex marriage, and during the discourse, the-father-of-four put forward the Christian position on the matter. At the time, Ngole was a postgraduate student, enrolled in a social work course at Sheffield University. Two months after posting his comment, Ngole received a letter from the university informing him that he was under investigation. He was eventually summoned to a disciplinary hearing where he was told that he had breached social work guidelines regarding “personal conduct” and “brought the profession into…
Four miners dead while Government Safety Committee stalls for months after failing to reach female gender quota
Four miners have died while a Government safety committee sat idle for months after failing to reach their female gender quota. Queensland’s Mine Health and Safety Advisory Committee was dissolved in late 2018 before the spate of deaths, taking the mining fatality total to six over the last year. Labor’s Queensland Mines Minister Anthony Lynham said the committee had not met this year because of challenges meeting gender quotas. “Certain representation has to be made on the committee, you have to make sure that gender representation is respected,” Lynham said. “Because of the significance of the appointments, that has been…
Eric Abetz’s historical stand against those who sacrifice freedom in the name of ‘progress’
Eric Abetz gave one of the most important short speeches in Australian political history this week. Yet few Australians would know he even spoke a word, let alone know who Abetz is or what he stands for. Eric Abetz was born in Germany in 1958 and came with his family to Australia in 1961. In the 1980s, Abetz worked his way through ‘University as a part-time taxi driver, and farmhand. Once completing his law degree, he went on to practice law in Hobart’s northern suburbs’. He joined the Liberal Party in 1976 and was appointed to the Senate in February…
