American adventure is UNDER ATTACK, and THIS story proves it



Back in 2008, Disney released the movie “WALL-E.” In the film, humans, who have departed Earth on a galactic cruise ship, are so engulfed in their screens that they don’t even know what a real tree looks like any more. Their pathetic lives have become entirely virtual.

Although undoubtedly exaggerated, “WALL-E,” in some sense, was oddly clairvoyant.

Our heavily digital world will likely become even more digital, as VR has been named the answer to many questions around sustainability.

With new “green” initiatives, travel and adventure – things that once made someone interesting and enviable – have been rebranded as selfish and myopic.

Why? Because airplanes and cars allegedly emit harmful emissions and pollutants into the air, and that certainly isn’t in line with the various environmental protection movements gaining momentum across the United States and Europe especially.

“They are trying to get you to now look at traveling the world or the country as a bad thing,” Glenn Becks explains.

He then tells the hypothetical story of Johnny, a boy who was born with wanderlust coursing through his veins. By the time Johnny turned 16, he was already making plans to venture to the moon, much to the dismay of his mother, who had been busy forming plans of her own.

One night, “she sneaks into her son’s bedroom while he’s asleep,” Beck says, “and straps [a VR] headset to him.”

“When he wakes up, he finds himself on the moon, and he never leaves his room again. … Johnny is safe.”

“Isn’t that what adventuring and exploring is all about? Safety?” Glenn mockingly asks.

“Now this sounds insane, but this is exactly where we’re headed.”

This theory can’t be chalked up to mere speculation, either. There are seeds being planted to villainize travel right now.

In response to the Titan submersible tragedy, MSNBC released an article that read: “I think this tragic incident affords us an opportunity–in fact, gives us a mandate–to devise safe ways for people to satisfy their adventurous spirits and educational urges.”

[...]

“As people consider safer ways to explore, I can’t help but think this terrifying scenario is precisely why the concept of the Metaverse, that is a virtual world reachable through a wearable device, will never die.”

“This is where we’re headed,” Glenn responds. “The death of adventure, the death of exploration in exchange for safety.”

“Just put your kid behind a screen or in glasses until they become the people of ‘Wall-E,’” he criticizes.

Glenn wants us all to ask ourselves these questions this July Fourth:

“Are giant corporations in charge? Is government in charge?”

“Are we going to be told what to do and how to do it at all times?”

“How do we have human experiences when we’re in a world of VR?”

“What are we willing to allow tech to replace in our lives?”

“We as America should be asking ourselves this coming holiday: Who are we, where did we come from, and more importantly, where is it we are headed? Is that where we want to go? If not, we should chart a different course,” he concludes.

Glenn: Humanity will END when Americans NO LONGER CARE



The Civil War might have ended over a century ago, but Glenn Beck believes what’s going on right now might be worse.

“It’s not like the Civil War,” he says. “It’s not North vs. South. It’s neighbor against neighbor.”

Glenn theorizes that our current division is directly related to our society abandoning the beliefs that the Constitution was built upon.

“I remember after 9/11, we all came together, and I expected that. I thought everybody was together. And then a few years later, everybody started to turn, and you’re like, ‘Wait, what happened, I thought we were all together?’”

“Because,” he continues, “so many people did not believe the things that Americans have always believed — the things that we always found self-evident. The government just became about expediency.”

In other words, the lack of God in America today has caused the breakdown of our country and the division of its people.

“For the first time in my life,” Beck says, “I’m not worried about America being destroyed by some global power — the Russians, nuclear bombs. Our civilization, no, all of humanity dies when we no longer care. Americans lose their freedoms when nobody cares anymore.”

He uses AI as an example, explaining that AI is threatening humanity.

“We have one of the biggest things to happen to mankind of all time — of all time — AI. Do you hear your friends really talking about it other than in a passing sort of way? ‘Hey, have you seen the new ChatGPT, it’s pretty cool huh?’”

Why does no one care? Glenn says it’s because we’ve placed our faith in the government.

He accuses Americans of failing “to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free.”

“We’re lulled away into a false sense of security because we think the government’s job is to keep us safe. It’s not,” he says.

“Our greatest national problem today is not the erosion of soil or air. It’s the erosion of our national morality, the erosion of traditional enforcement of law and order, the erosion of truth — verifiable, eternal truths.”

Agents of chaos on the far left are destroying our country



What are Americans most concerned about?

Well, everything, it seems.

In a recent poll from the State Policy Network Survey, Americans fear literally everything: food affordability and shortages, inflation, rising energy prices, job loss, and possible nuclear war.

Essentially, Americans are living in fear.

Glenn Beck warns that “people can’t live like that. It’s destructive to our health and our country.”

But why are we living like this?

Glenn goes on to explain that it’s because “we have a lack of faith in the truth of God. The eternal truths: don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t steal, love your neighbor. All that stuff is out. We are literally — I believe — doing ancient Moloch rituals in our lives. Evil thinks it’s winning. It’s not going to. It’s causing chaos.”

But who are these agents of chaos?

Glenn goes on to say they’re the ones “fighting to limit speech.”

He uses the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists as one of many examples (there are just so many deluded leftist corporations to choose from). This college prides itself, like all do these days, on its love of diversity and inclusion.

However, it's decided that it's going to ban pro-life doctors from attending — which is the opposite of diversity. It’s censorship of anyone’s opinions that differ from its own.

And it’s absolutely chaotic.

These agents are only concerned about their own power and shutting down anyone who disagrees.

And according to Glenn, it’s time to stand up and stop it. He says, “There’s a great evil happening in our country. And it’s easy to define. We just have to start saying it out loud.”

Russian oil revenues up 50% as Western sanctions on oil exports prove ineffective



Russian oil revenues have risen by 50% since the beginning of the year despite Western nations attempting to isolate and weaken the Russian economy.

The Epoch Times reported that a new report released by the International Energy Agency (IEA) revealed that the Russian Federation had earned about $20 billion each month in 2022. Russian oil producers sold roughly eight million barrels of oil per day.

Russian oil companies were able to achieve this feat largely because Western nations were unable to come to a consensus on isolating Russia’s oil industry in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

While the U.S. sanctioned Russian oil in early March, the European Union (EU) and its member states were unable to reach a unanimous agreement to ban the import of Russian oil by member nations. About two-thirds of the oil imported by EU member states comes from Russia, so the continued import of this oil, despite thorough sanctions on other sectors of the Russian economy, continues to provide Russia with a vital lifeline.

The European bloc continues to be the largest consumer of Russian oil. Despite the EU member nations presenting themselves as united in diplomatic and economic opposition to the Russian regime, they account for roughly 43% of all Russian oil exported in April.

Last March, economist Elana Ribakova suggested there might be a latent paradox that could arise should Western nations move to sanction Russian oil. Ribakova indicated that, in theory, imposing sanctions on Russia, which is one of the world’s leading exporters of natural gas and petroleum, would cause a scarcity of oil-based resources, causing prices to rise. These rising prices would in turn present Russia with an opportunity to collect higher revenues through exporting the products to countries not sanctioning the industry, thus rendering any sanctioning regime’s attempts counterproductive.

In early March Ribakova said, “10$ on oil price gives Russia [about] $20 [billion] of current account inflows per year. With imports collapsing[,] Russia’s 2022 current account could exceed $200 billion. Despite ~40% of $640 [billion] [Bank of Russia] reserves arrested, Russia could rebuild buffers from the current account surplus.”

Countries like China and India have not shied away from purchasing Russian fuel since the Ukraine invasion commenced, and with some EU member states continuing to import Russian oil, Russia will likely survive any current and future sanction packages that don’t affect its ability to export oil.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signs law criminalizing the distribution of abortion pills through mail



Tennessee’s Republican Governor Bill Lee signed a bill into law on Thursday that increases criminal penalties for anyone found to be distributing chemical abortive pills through either telehealth programs or the mail.

The Tennessean reported that this new legislation will prohibit any remote distribution of chemically abortive pharmaceuticals. However, the law will not prohibit the prescription of such substances in person by a physician.

After prescribing chemical abortives to patients, physicians are not required to monitor them during or after they take the drugs, but they are responsible for a ensuring a follow-up appointment with the patient within two weeks. Should this procedure not be followed, the legislation stipulates that they will be committing a Class E felony punishable by a fine up to $50,000.

Chemical abortive pills are increasingly common among women seeking to terminate early-term pregnancies up to 10 weeks. In 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the delivery of these drugs, along with telehealth being allowed to dispense the pills amid access concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists previously endorsed chemical abortions as a safe procedure.

According to the most recent available data, more than 75% of abortions in Tennessee occurred within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy in 2018.

The new Tennessee legislation mirrors pro-life initiatives that have gained traction across the U.S. in recent months following the FDA’s approval of chemical abortive distribution and in the days since a draft majority opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court leaked indicating that the nation’s highest court was preparing to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The leaked draft decision comes from a case pertaining to a challenge to a pro-life law in Mississippi.

Chief Justice John Roberts issued a statement confirming the authenticity of the leaked draft opinion. Roberts said that the draft opinion was not final and that the court’s consensus could change.

In 2019, the state of Tennessee passed a law that would automatically ban abortion in the state if the Supreme Court overturns or alters Roe v. Wade. The law would make it a felony for a doctor to perform an abortion, while the women seeking abortions would be exempt from prosecution.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, a leftist nonprofit organization that is, according to its website, “committed to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights worldwide,” more than 20 states are prepared to implement additional abortion restrictions should Roe v. Wade be overturned.
