Dear Friends,
We hope this week’s interview encourages you with practical ideas from one family’s story of becoming more self-sufficient. Even if you are in the city and that seems to be the place the Lord keeps you for now, taking steps to be independent in little ways is always possible. We all can prayerfully pursue something every day to better steward all God has entrusted to us and to make a difference in our family and in the lives of others.
1. GRAMMY AWARDS PROMOTE SATANISM: The 2023 Grammy Awards openly celebrated transgenderism, profanity, adultery, and Satanism and were partially sponsored by Pfizer. In a now-deleted tweet, CBS declared before the Awards, “We are ready to worship!” Matt Walsh noted that today’s self-worship is Satan-worship: “Theological satanism is not very common, but the worship of the self — what we might call secular satanism — is the predominant religion in our culture, and most of the art we produce is meant to preach this gospel.” For more read, Sam Smith’s Satanic Performance Was Par for the Course at the Pfizer-Sponsored Grammys.
Ed Note. Globalism, secularism, and Marxism are all Satanic at their core. Richard Wurmbrand carefully documents Karl Marx’s rabid Satanism in his book “Marx and Satan.” Wurmbrand says, “Marx and his comrades, while anti-God, were not atheists, as present-day Marxists claim to be. That is, while they openly denounced and reviled God, they hated a God in whom they believed. They challenged not His existence, but His supremacy.”
2. CHURCH OF ENGLAND EMBRACES SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, PROPOSES INVENTING GENDER-NEUTRAL GOD: The Church of England may drop the pronouns “He” and “Him” and the term “Our Father” when referring to God, as part of a major “project on gendered language” to be launched this spring. Proponents claimed that “a theological misreading of God as exclusively male is a driver of much-continuing discrimination and sexism against women.” Meanwhile, the General Synod of the Church of England voted overwhelmingly to offer blessings for same-sex couples and to “lament and repent” the harm caused to LGBTQ individuals by the church in the past. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, said: “It has been a long road to get us to this point. For the first time, the Church of England will publicly, unreservedly, and joyfully welcome same-sex couples in church.” Welby, who heads the Church of England, has promised to “root out” those who oppose LGBT ideology.
Christian evangelist Franklin Graham responded, “The Church of England is blessing sin. By doing this, they are attempting to nullify Christ’s atoning work on the Cross. Shame, shame, shame.”
In related news, over 1800 United Methodist Churches in the U.S. left the denomination in 2022 over its failure to uphold Biblical marriage and sexuality.
3. BIDEN’S SOVIET-STYLE STATE OF THE UNION: During his State of the Union address, Biden received a standing ovation after yelling what sounded like, “Make no mistake! If you try anything to raise the cost of frisizhnjubs, I will veto it!” Robert Spencer commented, “The assembled members of the House and Senate couldn’t have known what Biden really said…Yet when Kamala Harris leapt to her feet, applauding at the line, so did the Democrats in the chamber, cheering Old Joe as lustily as if anyone who didn’t applaud would end up in the gulag. That was what the bizarre scene resembled most closely: Soviet apparatchiks applauding the boss, not out of any genuine enthusiasm for what he said, but knowing that a lack of applause would be taken as a sign of disloyalty that could mean losing one’s job, or even imprisonment or death.”
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in her rebuttal to Biden’s speech, “While you reap the consequences of their failures, the Biden administration seems more interested in woke fantasies than the hard reality Americans face every day.”

4. SENATOR CRUZ CALLS OUT BIDEN RESPONSE TO CHINESE SPY BALLOON: Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) took Biden to task for his response to China during the SOTU: “When he [Biden] finally got to China, and he said, ‘We’re standing up [to] China and America is stronger than ever before, and our enemies are weaker,’ It was utterly absurd.”
Cruz continued, “We just finished last week [with] the world watching as a Chinese spy balloon for over a week hovered over U.S. Army bases, secure installations, committing espionage, and Biden weakly and impotently wrung his hands, he did nothing. And finally, after it completed its mission, he shot it down once the mission was over, once our security had been compromised. And the result of that is Xi and every other enemy in the world took the measure of the commander-in-chief, and they concluded he was weak.”
In related news, author Gordon Chang says the Chinese are currently “engaged in the fastest military buildup since the Second World War.”
5. IS A DEADLIER PANDEMIC ON THE WAY? When globalists and government propaganda outlets warn of another pandemic, we should take them seriously. The New York Times warns, “As the world is just beginning to recover from the devastation of Covid-19, it is facing the possibility of a pandemic of a far more deadly pathogen.” The NYT says that bird flu or avian influenza is spreading more widely among animals, “raising the risk that a new variant could spread to and among people.” The NYT calls for “immediate action,” including the surveillance of animal farms, potential culling of animals, quick testing, and mRNA H5N1 vaccines. World Health Organization head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged nations to “prepare” for a possible H5N1 bird flu pandemic and said the WHO is working with “manufacturers to make sure that if needed, supplies of vaccines and antivirals will be available for global use.”
Ed. Note: A pandemic or the threat of future pandemics is a perfect tool to consolidate globalist control. James Madison said it best, “Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant.” Rahm Emmanuel said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”
6. PROJECT VERITAS BOARD LAUNCHES COUP AGAINST FOUNDER: Project Veritas founder and CEO James O’ Keefe has been placed on paid leave by PV’s board of directors after a six-hour long meeting in which O’Keefe was reportedly verbally attacked by board members and several employees, with no opportunity to defend himself. Investigative journalist Laura Loomer, who formerly worked for Project Veritas, said, “It would be a shame if Pfizer was trying to extort PV board members. All I’m going to say is, this attack looks like it’s ‘Sponsored by Pfizer.’” Jack Posobiec agreed, “They’re coming after James O’Keefe right after he took down Pfizer. We can all see what’s going on here.”
Numerous conservative leaders have defended O’Keefe, including Candace Owens, who said, “There is no Project Veritas without James O’Keefe…the money and supporters will follow James.”
7. COVID VACCINE NEWS: A new study from Denmark found mRNA sequences from Pfizer and Modern’s Covid-19 vaccines in the blood of vaccinated individuals as late as 28 days after vaccination. In a recent medical paper, Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted officials knew the Covid vaccines would not work, even before they were authorized. Jeffrey Tucker said this article “would have gotten you and me blocked and banned at any point in the last three years.”
Australian television presenter Karl Stefanovic publicly criticized Covid vaccines on air, saying the shot could cause “heart issues.” Stefanovic said, “As you know, I’m not a glowing ambassador for more than two shots… I’m done with the vaccines.” Steve Kirsch summarizes the results of a recently-released peer-reviewed study: “Over 217,000 Americans were killed by the vaccine in the first year after rollout…”
Another bombshell Project Veritas video records Pfizer director Jordan Tristan Walker admitting that Pfizer’s Covid vaccine is causing reproductive issues: “That is a little concerning…it [the vaccine] shouldn’t be interacting with…the hormones that regulate their menstrual cycles…” The CDC has now added the Covid-19 vaccine to the routine immunization schedule for children.
8. AI CHATBOTS GO WOKE: ChapGPT refused to write a poem about Marjorie Taylor-Greene, but praised Hunter Biden as a “spirit that refuses to fall.” The Daily Wire notes, “It’s not the machines we have to fear; it’s the humans who are programming them with woke algorithms.” Google released a new chatbot tool named “Bard,” while Chinese companies Baidu and Alibaba are releasing similar chatbots.
9. BILL MAHER COMPARES “WOKE REVOLUTION” TO MAO’S CULTURAL REVOLUTION: “Real Time” host Bill Maher said on his show, “Yesterday, I asked ChatGPT, ‘Are there any similarities between today’s woke revolution and Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution of the 1960s’ and it wrote back, ‘How long do you have?’”
Maher continued, “In China, we saw how a revolutionary thought he could do a page-one rewrite of humans. Mao ordered his citizens to throw off the ‘four olds – old thinking, old culture, old customs, and old habits.’ So, your whole life went in the garbage overnight. No biggie. And those who resisted were attacked by an army of purifiers called the Red Guard who went around the country putting dunce caps on people who didn’t take to being a new kind of mortal being. A lot of pointing and shaming went on. Oh, and about a million dead. And the only way to survive was to plead insanity for the crime of being insufficiently radical and then apologize and thank the State, and of course, submit to re-education, or as we call it here in America, freshman orientation.”
10. CLIMATE HYPOCRISY AND CONTROL: The Sunday Mail reports that at least 71 giant wind turbines in Scotland are connected to diesel generators that keep them running during cold weather. The Biden Administration has proposed a new “transportation decarbonization” plan that would reduce travel by prioritizing “remote work and virtual interactions.” The New York Post reports, “Experts are now recommending that doctors reduce their use of certain kinds of anesthesia to combat the effects of climate change.
11. CBDCS ARE THE “LAST SHUTTING OF THE GATE”: Former U.S. government official Catherine Austin-Fitts spoke with Tucker Carlson about the dangers of Central Bank Digital Currencies: “The reality as the financial system gets more controlling and more invasive… central bank digital currencies and vaccine passports or digital IDs are sort of the last shutting of the gate.” Fitts continued, “When this gate closes on us, we literally will be sitting in a system where the central banks believe that our assets belong to them, and they can dictate where we can spend our money and what we can spend money on.”
12. GLOBAL TENSIONS INCREASE: Veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh released a piece, “How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline,” detailing the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline by the U.S. government in September 2022. Meanwhile, The Sun reports that Russia is gearing up for a major new offensive, with 1,800 tanks, 700 aircraft, and 500,000 men, as the first anniversary of the war approaches.
A new law will go into effect in China on March 1, 2023, mandating that anyone “18 years or older” enlist after a national mobilization is announced. The Pentagon announced that Communist China now has more intercontinental ballistic missile launchers than the United States.

FAITH, FAMILY, AND FREEDOM REPORT
1. WYOMING MOVES TOWARDS SOUND MONEY: The New American reports, “A bipartisan vote in the Wyoming state Senate approved a measure authorizing the Wyoming state treasurer to hold gold and silver specie to protect the state, as well as to set up a process whereby certain tax payments can be made with gold and silver.” The article further notes, “The only hope of a recovery lies where hope for liberty has always lain: with the people and the states.” Alaska, Missouri, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee are all considering similar bills.
2. MICHIGAN ACTIVISTS RALLY OUTSIDE PFIZER HEADQUARTERS: Michigan lawmakers and medical freedom activists rallied outside Pfizer’s Kalamazoo, Michigan, headquarters in response to Project Veritas’ bombshell video release. GOP State Rep. Matt Maddoc said, “These people are lying, and people are dying!” Rep. Jim DeSana remarked, “We are all here standing in defiance of a medical industry that has gone wrong. Your vaccine is clearly killing people, while giving others lifelong health problems, such as myocarditis, infertility, and organ failure.” Pfizer’s Kalamazoo plant is “the largest manufacturing site in the Pfizer network.”
3. MISSOURI ATTORNEY GENERAL MOVES TO PROTECT KIDS: Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has launched an investigation into the Pediatric Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital following whistleblower testimony asserting that the facility is harming children. Bailey said, “As Attorney General, I want Missouri to be the safest state in the nation for children…We take this evidence seriously and are thoroughly investigating to make sure children are not harmed by individuals who may be more concerned with a radical social agenda than the health of children.”
4. DESANTIS ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL END TO DISNEY’S SPECIAL STATUS: Governor Ron DeSantis’ office announced that the state is “dissolving the Corporate Kingdom by permanently eliminating Disney’s self-governing status, appointing a state-controlled board accountable to Floridians that can impose taxes on Disney for infrastructure projects, and ensuring Disney pays its own debts.”
Ed. Note: Former Florida State Rep Anthony Sabatini says the deal doesn’t actually hurt Disney, “So basically Woke Disney gets to keep its nearly tax-free, regulation-free status—but with a different Board. What a massive capitulation this is. HUGE win for Woke Disney. BIG loss for conservatives.”
5. 1792 EXCHANGE IDENTIFIES WOKE COMPANIES: The 1792 Exchange reports it has “assessed 1,000+ companies’ policies, practices, and other relevant criteria to determine the likelihood a company will cancel a contract or client, or boycott, divest, or deny services based on views or beliefs.” Top offenders include Comcast, CVS, Ford, Kohl’s, Kroger, Marriot, Mattel, and Pfizer. Eric Korsvall says, “Conservatives cannot afford to ignore these important ratings.”

6. SASKATCHEWAN PREMIER REJECTS DIGITAL ID: Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said the province would not participate in any future “digital ID” healthcare program, even if that causes Saskatchewan to lose certain federal funds. Moe declared, “The Government of Saskatchewan will not share any personal medical information with the federal government. This information is protected under The Health Information Protection Act and will remain so.”
7. ISRAEL AND SUDAN STRIKE PEACE DEAL: Sudan is the latest country to normalize relations with Israel, following Donald Trump’s 2020 Abraham Accords. Israeli spokesman Lior Haiat said, “We definitely look forward to signing the agreement and then to having diplomatic representatives both in Israel and in Sudan.”
8. FRENCH FARMERS PROTEST EU’S GREEN AGENDA: Thousands of French farmers and 500 tractors took to the streets of Paris to protest the French government’s recent ban on neonicotinoid insecticides for sugar beets. One farmer said: “My brother grows beets, and I use beet by-products as fertiliser. Without them, we are exposed to risks of disease in our crops.”
9. MORE DOCTORS REFUSE COVID BOOSTERS: The Epoch Times reports, “A growing number of doctors say that they won’t get COVID-19 vaccine boosters, citing a lack of clinical trial evidence.” Dr. Todd Lee wrote, “I have taken my last COVID vaccine without RCT level evidence it will reduce my risk of severe disease.”
10. NEW STUDY CONFIRMS MASKS DON’T WORK: Steve Kirsch summarizes the study, “The new Cochrane Review on Masks proves beyond doubt that the misinformation spreaders were right and the ENTIRE mainstream medical community is now discredited (except for UCSF Professor Vinay Prasad who spoke out about masks).”
11. U.S. SENATORS INTRODUCE BILL TO BAN FOREIGN NATIONS FROM U.S. FARMLAND: Senators Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) introduced the Promoting Agriculture Safeguards and Security (PASS) Act “aimed at preventing China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea from investing in, purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring U.S. farmland.” Rounds said, “Protecting American farmland is critical to maintaining our national security…This legislation makes certain American interests are protected by blacklisting foreign adversaries from purchasing land or businesses involved in agriculture.”
12. SENATOR RICK SCOTT SAYS PARTY IS TIRED OF “CAVING” ON DEBT LIMIT: Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and 23 Senate Republicans sent a letter warning Biden and Democrats that they will not increase the debt ceiling without spending cuts and serious reform.

It’s time for Republicans to be bold, speak the truth, and stop caving in.”
13. HISPANIC CHURCHES ON THE RISE: A new report from Lifeway Research on Hispanic Protestant churches in the U.S. reveals encouraging signs. Over half (54%) of these churches have been established since 2000. Lifeway reports, “Almost 4 in 5 pastors at U.S. Hispanic Protestant churches (79%) say they regularly schedule opportunities for members to go out and share the gospel.”
HYMN OF THE WEEK
Rise Up, O Men Of God By William P. Merrill
Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of kings!
Rise up, O men of God!
His kingdom tarries long;
As faithful workmen, watch and pray
And light the night of wrong.
Rise up, O men of God!
The church for you doth wait:
Your strength unequal to the task,
But Christ in you is great!
Lift high the cross of Christ;
Tread where His feet have trod!
As brothers of the Son of man,
Rise up, O men of God!
