Dear Compass Supporters:

Every four or five years or so we like to catch up our new subscribers with the info about the Pilgrims' tough voyage coming from Europe on the Mayflower and planting a Christian settlement in America.

Susie and I try to read this account each year to our grand-kids. Despite having read it for years, it still gets to me when I read what the Pilgrims went through. They were determined to have a church where Jesus and scripture were King, not the King and/or Queen of England.

And there are some doozy "Additional Resource" articles ... hopefully you can peruse over the long weekend!

We wish each and every one of you a most-blessed Thanksgiving!

CQLJ!

Bill, Susie, Tracy, Gordon and Cheryl

Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. Psa. 106:1

Upcoming Events:

Our Steeling the Mind Bible Conference, March 14 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is picking up steam. Tickets are selling steadily and we expect it to be another sellout.

This year we have another excellent slate of the top Bible teachers in the land coming to Coeur d'Alene to steel our minds with EXCELLENT information. Now is the time to armor us up to be used by the Lord in these eye-opening last days.

This is the Steeling conference's 33rd year, PTL! See an interesting list of past Steeling speakers HERE

I must say, even after 33 years of organizing this conference, it gets my blood pumping thinking about all the Believers coming to spend the day armoring up for the task at hand—being used by the Lord.

For speakers this year we have the modern-day Fab Four—simply the top four Bible teachers in America: Woods, Miller, Newman & Reagan. And two more for hot Signs of the Times speakers: Sherri Tenpenny and Dane Wigington.

Andy Woods - Bible Prophecy—7 Signs We're Close To Booming Out

Russ Miller - Apologetics—5 Easy Ways To Discredit Evolution

Alex Newman - Signs of the Times—Moving Toward The Mark

Dane Wigington - Signs of the Times—Lines In The Skies

Dave Reagan - Israel—How Israel Will Be Saved

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny - Signs of the Times—The Gifts of Covid

Immediately after the Covid Va((ine began rolling out, Dr. Tenpenny, an osteopathic physician (DO), recognized Covid and the Covid vaccine for what they truly were–part of a global scam using health scares for global population control.

She began exposing the medical corruption driving the dangerous and untested Covid va((ine in April 2021. She prophetically laid out how the shots would cause widespread death and disability.

As proof she was rattling Big pHARMa's front doors, they tried everything possible to shut her up, shut her down, and keep her quiet.

They put her on the infamous "Disinformation Dozen" list—which was a list of 12 people who the Globalists/Satanists claimed "Spread 73% of the Covid va((ine 'disinformation.'"

FYI—An organization linked to George Soros funds the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) — the group who came up with the Disinformation Dozen.

They also got her medical license suspended (later it was reinstated because they could not prove one thing she said that was false).

For all the lives she saved she should have been given the Medal of Freedom.* Her Steeling presentation will undoubtedly be off-the-charts!

*Since President Trump sadly just got another booster, it's highly doubtful Dr. Tenpenny will be receiving any accolades from President Trump. ☹️

We've also added Dane Wigington from Geoengineering Watch, to this year's line up. His research on what is going on in our skies will absolutely blow your mind.

So if you want to join us for a great day of Biblical armoring by the best steel-on-steel Bible teachers on the planet, and the most in-touch national lecturers, join us March 14, 2026 in Coeur d'Alene.

Invest a day, reap rewards for a lifetime!

What a privilege to armor up with this group of speakers!!

Amazing Facts About The First Thanksgiving

After the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the Church of England became the official church in England and was headed by the Queen of England, Elizabeth I.

All those with religious convictions were under the authority of the bishops of the Church. These bishops began to create power positions and ruled over the congregations—a dogma of the Roman Church.

Several hundred people were having great difficulty in worshiping with freedom, so they began to speak out about their commitment to Jesus and their desire to follow only the writings of the scriptures. These people became known in England as the “Separatists.”

Since they did not want to obey the rules of the King’s Church, which was the law of the land, they began to have secret meetings.

However, the King heard they were holding clandestine gatherings, and he began to put some of the men into prison. He caused many problems and trials in an attempt to get these people to bow to the laws of the Church of England.

The church leaders became harsh and cruel, making it more dangerous for these committed Christians to worship according to scripture. Consequently, they were afraid to stay in England, so they began to contemplate a move to a place where they could worship as they pleased.

In 1608 the Separatists moved to Holland, seeking Christian freedom. They lived in Holland for 12 years, but life there was very difficult. The men worked extremely hard but received little to show for their hard labor.

The parents also became concerned about their children, fearing that they might forget the culture and customs of their native England.

Furthermore, they did not want their children to become sailors and soldiers for Holland, which was customary.

It seems the Lord used these concerns and their difficult life to cause them to explore the possibilities of going to the New World, to a land called America.

The people began to lay plans for a move to this newly discovered land. Their search for a way to the New World and a means to ship their supplies led these people to some businessmen.

They were able to make an agreement for 35 of them to go to the new land if others would work for these businessmen for seven years.

They thought this agreement unfair, but it was the only way they could find to get to the New World, so an agreement was made.

The departing 35 picked up the name of “Pilgrim” since a pilgrim is someone who goes on a long, long journey.

The Pilgrims returned to England from Holland determined to set sail for the New World and boarded a cargo ship acquired by the businessmen called the “Mayflower.”

And even though the Mayflower was not designed to carry passengers, the ship did bring 102 people from England to the New World in the year 1620.

Out of the 102 passengers, 35 of them were Christians from the Separatist group from Holland.

Sailing conditions were extremely poor, and the sailors on the ship became hostile toward the Pilgrims due to their practice of singing spiritual songs and praying.

The Pilgrims, in turn, did not like the sailors using foul language.

There was little each family could take along on the voyage because there wasn’t much room. Each family could bring one box which contained the family Bible.

The women brought a few cooking utensils and the men brought a gun or sword and a few tools for building and working in the gardens.

A mother with a baby could only take along a cradle for the baby to sleep in.

It was dangerous for a small ship like the Mayflower to make such a long voyage—especially by itself. In those days one ship never sailed alone.

Living conditions on the ship were miserable. The food consisted of salted beef, pork or fish and hard, dry biscuits.

Sleeping quarters were on the floor below the main deck where hardly any light or fresh air existed. If they wanted to bathe they had to wash in salty water.

Most of the people had to wear the same clothes day after day for the 66-day voyage. Sanitary facilities were non-existent.

During one dangerous storm the main beam cracked. It splintered the main deck, causing water to pour in on the Pilgrims who were living on the lower deck. Their clothes, bedding and food lay in water, making living conditions intolerable.

Many of the people on board became deathly ill. The sickness was so severe even the sailors began to pray with the Pilgrims for an end to the terrible voyage.

The Pilgrims knew it was only by God’s mercy that they could survive the voyage.

It was the morning of November 9, 1620, 66 days later, when they saw the sandy beaches of Cape Cod in what is today the State of Massachusetts. (See Additional Notes below)

Many of the people on the ship, led by the Pilgrims, fell on their knees and blessed the God of heaven who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean.

And now they were here in a strange land where there were no homes, no towns and no friends to greet them. They continued living aboard the Mayflower for another 33 days until a landing site could be found with a place to make their homes.

On December 16, 1620, the Mayflower landed at an area which the Pilgrims called Plymouth because Plymouth, England was their point of departure, and they had received kindness from Christians there.

This was the beginning of the first Christian settlement in the new land called America.

In the area surrounding Plymouth where the Pilgrims decided to stay, they found running brooks and fields which had already been cleared for planting. Here they would be able to worship God, pray and sing songs with complete freedom.

Trials in building this Christian settlement were many. The Pilgrims had to contend with the cold and snow, lack of food, sickness, death, loneliness and conflicts with Indians.

During February of that first winter, there were times when only six or seven people were well enough to take care of the ones who were sick.

By spring, half of the pilgrims and sailors had died. Three entire families died during the initial days. The rest were alone, except for their God and their commitment.

It was this commitment to Jesus Christ and their faith in Him that gave them the courage and strength to carry on. Their faith had been tested and tried, and built up through the experiences they had endured in England, Holland and aboard the Mayflower.

This gave them the strength to persevere, and establish the first light of Jesus in the new land of America. Through these Pilgrims the spiritual history of American Christianity had its beginning.

On April 5, 1621, four months after arriving in America, the Mayflower headed back to England. But not one Pilgrim returned.

As summer approached, their faithfulness and commitment to Jesus began to reveal the fruits of their commitment. William Bradford, one of the leaders of the Pilgrims, wrote that they had all things in plenty because the corn had grown well.

A friendly Indian named Squanto (see additional notes below), who had traveled abroad and knew the English language, taught the Pilgrims how to plant. It appears he was God-sent.

The Pilgrims had plenty to eat and were careful to lay up in store for the next winter.

During the summer they were able to build several homes. Most of the dangers of sickness passed and their friendship with the Indians allowed them to live in peace.

Through the grace of God, they had been able to do what they set out to do. They found a place where they could live and worship God in their own way with complete freedom.

In October of 1621, nearly a year after their arrival, the Pilgrims decided to set aside a special time to give thanks to the Lord for His faithfulness, a commemoration we now call Thanksgiving.

(Excerpted from “The Last Days In America,” by Bob Fraley, pages 52 to 56, published by Christian Life Services, copyright 1984.)

Additional Thanksgiving Facts:

The Pilgrims originally planned to settle in the northern part of the Virginia Colony, which was an English colonial territory at the time. However, due to unfavorable weather conditions and navigational challenges, they eventually landed in what is now known as Plymouth, Massachusetts, in December 1620.

This unplanned landing eventually led to the establishment of Plymouth Colony, one of the earliest English settlements in North America.

The celebration we now refer to as “The First Thanksgiving” involved a three-day harvest festival in October, which may have been inspired by the Biblical holiday of Sukkot, or The Feast of Tabernacles.

About 90 hungry Wampanoag Indian warriors joined the 53 surviving Pilgrims for this occasion (nearly half the colonists had died during the brutal winter).

The Englishmen provided some vegetables, fish, and perhaps wild turkeys, while the natives brought five recently hunted deer as house gifts.

Squanto was a Native American from the Patuxet tribe (which was part of the Wampanoag confederacy) and he is best known for being an early liaison between the Wampanoags and the Pilgrims.

Squanto had grown up in the village that would later become Plymouth Colony. Early in his life, Squanto was captured by a ruthless sea captain who kidnapped him and sold him into slavery in Spain.

After a few years, he was freed by kindly monks, then made his way to England, and finally sailed across the Atlantic—only to find his friends and family all wiped out by disease when he arrived home in 1619.

The leader of Plymouth Colony believed Squanto was “a special instrument sent of God for their good beyond their expectation.”

The original Thanksgiving lasted 3 full days.

Americans eat more than 46 million turkeys on Thanksgiving Day each year.

According to a survey by Instacart, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most popular type of wine Americans pair with their Thanksgiving dinner. Coming in second is Chardonnay, with a red blend placing third.

An estimated 50 million pumpkin pies are served on Thanksgiving day in America. Over 700 million pounds of turkey are served.

Jingle Bells was originally written for a Sunday School Thanksgiving program in 1857, and originally titled "One Horse Open Sleigh."

The most popular cartoon shown on Thanksgiving is "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," despite Woodstock eating turkey (a bird eating another bird).

The Detroit Lions football team has played every Thanksgiving since 1934 (except during WWII).

The first Thanksgiving was eaten with spoons and knives as forks had yet to be invented. Forks became common in the early 1800s, but the British still eat using them upside down. What's with that??

Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be named the US national bird, particularly because it was one of the staple foods for the Pilgrims. However, Thomas Jefferson, the third US president, thought the eagle would be a better option. As a result, Franklin ended up naming the turkey “Tom” after Thomas Jefferson.

The average American consumes around 3,000 calories from their  Thanksgiving meal. It takes 10 hours of steady walking to burn off an average Thanksgiving meal.

More home-cooking-related fires occur on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year.

The average number of Thanksgiving dinner guests per household for families celebrating the holiday is 12.

Over 31 million people tuned in to Macy's Thanksgiving Parade last year. The parade began in 1924, celebrating 100 years last year.

It takes an average of 9.6 hours to prepare a Thanksgiving meal that is usually consumed in less than 20 minutes.

An average size turkey served in America is 16 pounds and consists of 70% white meat and 30% dark.

According to Best Life magazine, the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for plumbers. LOL!

One year we were dumbfounded to realize on Thursday morning our turkey was still frozen after being in the refrigerator to defrost for three days! Thankfully a hair dryer fits. Weird looking but hey, it worked.

The cornucopia, also known as the "Horn of Plenty," is a symbol often associated with Thanksgiving.

It is typically depicted as a large, curved horn overflowing with an abundance of fruits, vegetables, and other harvest-related items. The cornucopia is used in Thanksgiving decorations and table centerpieces to represent the bountiful harvest and the spirit of gratitude that is central to the Thanksgiving holiday ("holiday" is derived from "holy day").

Experts noticed that ‘brain rot’ gained new prominence this year as a term used to capture concerns about the impact of consuming excessive amounts of low-quality online content, especially on social media. The term increased in usage frequency by 230% between 2023 and 2024.

Brain rot is a documented state of cognitive atrophy, driven by over-stimulation, dopamine feedback loops, and nonstop exposure to low-quality digital content.

Young peeps now average 6.5 hours per day online — primarily on algorithm-driven platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and endless-scroll feeds engineered for split-second novelty.

Campbell's VP Admits Their Soup Is Crap For Poor People (loose translation)

They got this guy on tape. In defense, Campbell's says: If the recording is legitimate, the comments are unacceptable. They do not reflect our values and the culture of our company. Mr. Bally is temporarily on leave while we conduct an investigation.”

In defense of lab grown meat, the article includes:

Lab-grown meat, also called cultured or cultivated meat, is grown from the cells of an animal, without any need to slaughter an animal to obtain the meat. The animal’s cells are cultivated in stainless steel drums called bioreactors, which are engineered to encourage replication of cells or growth of biological mass. The products that result from this process have been met with excitement due to their potential to replace the millions of animals being raised on factory farms around the world. Because cultured meat is produced in laboratory environments, it does not suffer from some of the contamination and health issues that plague traditional meat producers, such as antibiotic resistance and foodborne and zoonotic illnesses.

Yuck. No wonder the lab-grown meat industry states one of their main problems is "cultural acceptance." I think it's just common sense.

(Analysis by Tyler Durden)

There is one magazine that represents the interests, exclusively, of the globalist power elites.

It’s called The Economist, and each year it publishes an issue that consists of its forecast for the year ahead. In this case, 2026.

This year’s cover is creepy, to say the least.

Christian writer Michael Snyder notes that, “As we have seen so many times before, these issues tend to be alarmingly accurate. The reason why they are so accurate is because the ultra-wealthy elite have an enormous amount of influence over the course of human events.

"If they are absolutely determined to make something happen, there is a good chance that it is going to happen. Ominously, it appears that they are anticipating a great deal of global chaos in 2026.”

The Economist was founded in 1843. It has never had a very large readership among the general population. It writes for the billionaire elites and their cartel of political henchmen.

It has editorial offices all over the world, but it is based in the city of London, England.

Many of the wealthiest families in Europe are among its shareholders, and Sir Evelyn Robert de Rothschild served as chairman from 1972 to 1989.

That’s why, if you want to know what the global elite are thinking, this is the publication that you look for.

With that in mind, look at the picture above of the cover of The Economist’s year-end forecasting edition for 2026.

Snyder writes:

“To me, the fact that there are so many symbols relating to war really got my attention. There is a huge red tank on one side of the cover, and another huge red tank on the other side of the cover."

"At the top there are several large missiles that look like they are ready to be launched, and at the bottom there are more large missiles. Also, right in the middle we see two enormous swords that are crossed. That is clearly meant to symbolize war.”

We’ve already seen too much war in 2025. Bombs and missiles have been flying in Ukraine, Russia, Iran, Israel, India and Pakistan, and now potentially the U.S. and Venezuela, among other places.

But now, at least in the opinion of the globalist elites, we are in store for even more war in 2026.

President Trump, as the self-described “Peace President,” has rebranded the Department of Defense into the Department of War. He has suggested publicly that U.S. military strikes could be coming soon, not just in Venezuela, but in Mexico and Colombia as well. He’s previously talked about using the military to take Greenland.

It’s not too much of a stretch to say our president seems obsessed with the military.

As I (Tyler Durden) often say, pray for peace but prepare for war.

Getting back to the magazine cover, Snyder points out there is a chart that seems to depict some sort of a financial crash right under the crossed swords.

Just below that chart, there is a red image of a broken dollar sign.

Throughout the bottom half of the graphic it looks like paper currency is falling everywhere.

Is this a mere globalist wish list that may or may not happen? War and economic collapse, a collapse of the U.S. dollar so they can replace it with a digital/programmable currency? Or, is this what they know is going to happen and they are just informing us ahead of time, like they so often love to do?

I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

KETO Trap?

8-minute video

CLICK HERE

If you are using the KETO diet for any length of time there are some liver and heart risks to consider!

  • While short-term ketogenic diets may aid weight loss, new research links prolonged ketosis to liver stress, impaired insulin secretion, and cardiovascular problems
  • Long-term fat reliance increases circulating free fatty acids, burdening the liver, disrupting glucose regulation, and weakening metabolic flexibility — key factors in overall energy stability and heart health
  • Elevated liver enzymes and triglyceride levels on keto indicate hepatic overload. This signals that the body is struggling to manage excess fat turnover and oxidation
  • Treat keto as a short-term metabolic intervention, not a lifestyle diet. Gradually reintroduce whole-food carbohydrates to support steady energy, hormonal balance, and overall metabolic health
  • To support balanced metabolism and long-term liver and heart health, keep total fat below 30% of daily calories, eliminate seed oils from your diet, and consume sufficient dietary fiber



They Already Track Everything!

Since the legislation passed in the aftermath of 9/11, the United States has become a police state.

The National Security Agency spies on everyone and everything so evildoers and tyrants can control society from top to bottom and target opponents, former NSA technical director turned whistleblower William Binney warns.

Binney built unimaginably powerful systems to allow the government to access all communications and sort through them while still protecting the privacy and rights of innocent Americans.

Unfortunately, after the September 11 attack, the federal government threw off the shackles and started spying on everyone, all the time. It has gotten so bad that, combined with Artificial Intelligence, liberty is in mortal danger.

After I watched this video I reluctantly went back to using spellings like "va((ines" in the Compass News. Oh well.




Homeschooling Surges To Record Highs

.
Article
.
.
Homeschooling has officially entered its golden era. After decades of being treated as a fringe experiment, a backup plan, or the choice of "only the most determined parents," homeschooling has now become the fastest-growing movement in American education.
.
And the message behind this surge is unmistakable: parents are reclaiming responsibility, reclaiming childhood, and reclaiming the culture one kitchen table at a time.
.
Reports from the 2024-2025 school year confirm what many families have sensed for years. According to Angela Watson of Johns Hopkins University's Homeschool Hub, "homeschooling grew at an average rate of 5.4%—nearly three times the pre-pandemic growth rate."
.
Even more stunning, 36% of reporting states recorded their highest homeschool enrollment ever.

Epoch Times Reports:

You’re Surrounded by Microplastics, These Habits Can Help Reduce Exposure

.
Microplastics enter our homes and bodies in surprising ways, but small changes in how we cook, clean, and store our belongings can help lower our exposure.
.
Here's how to limit your exposure:
.

Avoid microwaving or heating plastic containers.
Use glass and ceramics for heating.
Transfer food to a glass or ceramic before heating.
Use stainless steel or glass baby bottles.
Choose loose-leaf tea or paper teabags without plastic seals.
Avoid leaving plastic water bottles in the sun.

Replace Worn and Scratched Plastics

The longer and harder plastics are used, the more they break down.

Containers with rough, cloudy, or scratched surfaces shed far more microplastics than new ones.
.
A study found that melamine dishware released up to 22 times more particles after 100 wash cycles. Even a single scratch on a Teflon-coated pan can generate about 9,100 micro- and nanoplastics, while a cracked coating may release up to 2.3 million.
.
Even plastics made for long-term use aren’t risk-free. Old cookware or containers with stains, scratches, or heat damage shed far more particles.
.
“All the polyester and synthetics we wear become our house dust that we inhale and then release millions of microplastics into our water as we wash them,” Dr. Desiree LaBeaud, a pediatric infectious diseases physician at Stanford Medicine and one of the founders of Stanford’s interdisciplinary Plastics and Health Working Group, told The Epoch Times. LaBeaud noted that while avoiding microplastics entirely is impossible, people can try to reduce their exposure.

Skip the Microwave, Avoid the Heat

The main ways microplastics are shed are through heating and physical wear.

Heat causes plastics to soften and lose structure, letting plastic particles flake off more easily. Microwaving food packaged in plastic and ultraviolet exposure accelerate microplastic shedding by breaking down the bonds that hold plastic together.

A study found that all plastic food containers release more microplastics when exposed to high temperatures or repeated washing with hot water.



Why Girls Are Giving Up On Marriage

.
Article
.

CLICK HERE

The latest Pew Research-University of Michigan survey shows for the first time since this question has been tracked, 12th-grade girls are less likely to say they want to get married than 12th-grade boys.
.
One of the reasons is pornography has rewired how boys see girls—and how girls see themselves. Between porn and watching 50% of Christians getting divorced,* why is it worth pursuing?
.
Women today don't have a Christ-based view of marriage. Young women today are ambitious, hardworking, and academically outperforming boys. But that very success comes with a shadow. They fear that marriage will derail their goals.
.
So girls today see normalized pornography, mocked masculinity, a fragmented family, girls left unprotected and boys who are undisciplined.
.
So we shouldn't be too surprised when girls say they don't want the version of marriage we've modeled for them. But there is hope:
.
Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it. Prov. 22:6
.
* Actually, there is a caveat in that 50%-get-divorced statistic. It's true that roughly 50% of all Christians get divorced, just like non-Christians. However, if the spouses pray together once a day, it drops to only 2% getting divorced. So there is a good reason your kids should SEE you praying together every day! 



Vaccines And The Chronic Illness Crisis

The video shows what results you get when you simply compare va((inated vs. unva((inated.
.
The study included 18,468 children born between 2000-2016. The study compared the short and long-term health outcomes of children unexposed to vaccines with those exposed to one or more vaccines.

.

The study’s data showed that the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition after vaccination was astonishing…

Asthma 4x increase;
Atopic Conditions 3x increase;
Autoimmune Disease - 6x increase;
Neurodevelopmental disorder (ADHD, Developmental Delays, Speech Disorders) - 5x increase.
.
The study authors wrote: “[I]n contrast to our expectations, we found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold increase in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition, when compared to children unexposed to vaccination.”
.
This comes on the heels of the study showing that if you take the flu shot, you're more likely to get the flu.

One in every 10 U.S adults who received the COVID-19 vaccine experienced “major” side effects, and over a third (36%) suffered “minor” side effects, according to a national survey conducted this month.

Based on a U.S. adult population of 258 million in 2020, the results mean that about 17 million adults who got the COVID-19 vaccine experienced major health effects, and roughly 63 million had minor side effects, said Rasmussen Reports, which conducted the survey.

The survey, which included 1,292 adults and had a margin sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% confidence level, also revealed that 46% of both vaccinated and unvaccinated adults think it’s likely that COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths.

The numbers come as no surprise to Christopher Dreisbach, legal affairs director of React19, whose mission is to support the COVID-19 vaccine-injured. He told The Defender:

“Any surprise regarding the frequency and severity of these adverse reactions is simply the result of years of government and platform-level censorship that kept the injured’s experiences out of public view.”

Dreisbach was diagnosed with a debilitating and painful neurological disorder after getting Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

Kristi Dobbs, who was also seriously injured when she took her first and only Pfizer COVID-19 shot on Jan. 18, 2021, said the U.S. government has yet to ensure that this kind of massive vaccine injury won’t happen again in the future.




The Asian Population Collapse

In the 7 years between 2018 and 2025 Hong Kong has had a 41% decline in births and an 11% rise in deaths. Compared to 2018 this translates to 2,400 fewer babies born each month and 500 additional monthly deaths in 2025.
.
You are two short of a coaster set if you don’t think that the increase in death and the decrease in births aren’t connected to both the Globalists'/Satanists' worldwide vaccine rollout and the latter day Bible prophecies.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome And Va((ines

.
By Jefferey Jaxen

Are vaccines a possible cause of the death of babies in the crib, otherwise known as SIDS – Sudden Infant Death Syndrome? 

I recently reported on The HighWire that Florida state senator Iliana Garcia introduced a bill that says: “In the case of an infant or child who dies suddenly and unexpectedly, including cases of SIDs, the autopsy must include microscopic and toxicology studies and a review of the child's immunization of medical records.”

This may seem like a small thing—and you may be asking yourself, “What’s the big deal?”

Well, there are those who don’t want parents to discover why their child may have died soon after arriving home from the hospital. Here’s why: vaccines may be implicated, hence the need for Garcia’s bill.

If passed into law, the bill will mandate that the infant’s vaccine record be released to the medical examiner. And if the medical examiner fails to report the child’s vaccine record once, they will be subject to a $1,000 fine.

If the examiner fails to report the vaccine record in the event of a second infant death, the fine grows to $5,000. Repeated noncompliance will result in disciplinary action, which may include suspension and removal from the job. 

The real issue is this: the fact that you need a law to say that if an infant dies, you have to review their current vaccine record raises a myriad of safety questions regarding the childhood vaccine schedule. 

(BTW—It's a fact that kids who are unvaccinated don't die from SIDS!)

ADF now has filed a briefing with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals opposing a school district policy that "directs that students should be 'assigned to share overnight accommodations with other students that share the student's gender identity' rather than rooming by sex."
.
Further, officials in the district involved, Jefferson County, refuse "to give parents truthful, pertinent information about their children's overnight accommodations, thus hampering parents' ability to make informed decisions about their children's education and privacy."

Vx linked to 70k Less Live births in US in 2023

Article

CDC data from 566 US counties, with a combined population of nearly 260 million, show that COVID-19 va((ination in 2023 was significantly linked to fewer live births. Extrapolating these findings to the entire US population estimates 69,598 fewer births.
 
Don't miss that: COVID-19 va((ination was linked to almost 70,000 fewer US live births in 2023
 
I had a hard time trying to understand this article… But I appreciate the guy that did the work to put it together. Bottom line is: if the va((ine was designed to reduce births worldwide, it’s working.

"Parents are being cut out of their children’s lives, and the state is doing it on purpose."

By Simone Gold

In California, teachers were instructed to hide a child’s claimed “gender identity” from parents. Activist groups supplied the materials. State officials then deleted the public evidence, locked the rest behind passwords and lied to a federal judge about what they were doing.

This is not education.
This is not care.
This is the state lying to parents about their own children.

The damage is real. Children pushed into “gender” ideology are placed on tracks that lead to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries that sterilize and permanently disfigure healthy bodies. 

A child cannot consent to irreversible harm. And no public employee has the right to initiate or conceal it.

California’s actions do more than violate the Fourteenth Amendment. They rewrite a centuries-old legal principle called in loco parentis, meaning “in place of the parent.”

Traditionally, teachers acted as temporary stand-ins who were accountable to parents, not replacements for them. Every version of in loco parentis has required partnership with families.

What states are doing now is the opposite. They are usurping parental authority.

And it is not just California. More than 1,000 school districts across America now enforce “Parental Exclusion Policies.”

States like Michigan and Washington have adopted the same model: keep parents uninformed, push children into identity confusion, and remove the family from the equation.

This is coordinated. It's expanding. And it will become permanent if we do not stop it now.

The same institutions that silenced doctors and controlled the public during COVID are now silencing parents and targeting children.

The pattern is identical:

1. Suppress truth.
2. Centralize power.
3. Eliminate the family’s authority.

Because:

• Parents have the constitutional right to direct their child’s upbringing
• Children must be protected from permanent medical mutilation
• The state cannot erase biological sex or parental authority

But the other side is well-funded, well-organized, and advancing fast. States are now willing to lie to judges to keep parents out. We must draw the line.

Every week, more parents discover too late what was concealed from them. This must end.

Children need protection. Parents need truth. And in loco parentis must return to what it always meant: standing in for parents, never against them.
