Olympics opening ceremony EXPLAINED: 'Flagrant spiritual warfare happening before our very eyes'



The opening ceremony for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France, has garnered much criticism for mocking Christianity — specifically Leonardo da Vinci’s painting “The Last Supper.”

Although the creators are “trying to deny it,” Liz Wheeler knows without question that the performance intentionally “blasphemes the Last Supper with satanic imagery.”

“Jesus and his apostles in the Olympic depiction were replaced by an obese woman and by transgenders,” says Liz, “and if you look really closely, there's also a child in this sexualized scene, and if you look really, really, closely ... the man bending over the child is displaying his genitalia — to be exact, his testicles are hanging out and in full view.”

“There was also imagery of the 'Horsemen of Death’ from the book of Revelation,” and “Snoop Dog, who performed at the opening ceremonies ... [wore] a necklace with a demon on it.”

“This is spiritual warfare,” Liz assures. “This was never about tolerance or inclusion. These are demons who want to force you to worship Satan.”

In the wake of the backlash, some have claimed that the performance is intended to depict “the Olympic gods,” but to that Liz says, “No, no, this is false,” reading a Tweet from @pedrogabwriter, who analyzed the entire performance and found the exact moments that disprove this assertion:

“Check the 1:54:50 landmark. Look at how the camera pans and how the various actors pose and place themselves on frame. It is obviously a throwback to da Vinci’s representation of the Last Supper. ... The Dionysius [Olympic gods] motif only happens at the 2:38:39 landmark.”

In response to the widespread negative reaction, the International Olympic Committee issued the following statement:

“International Olympic Committee, you are lying,” says Liz. “You did not apologize because you're not sorry. We know it was intentional bigotry against Christians in the name of the communist religion of DEI.”

Following the opening ceremony, there was a “total power outage [where] the city was blacked out,” and “then the first gold medal of the Paris games was won by American swimmer Katie Ledecky, who's devoutly Catholic.”

Coincidence?

“Maybe. Maybe not,” says Liz.

Child predators and the DEATH penalty: Robby Starbuck’s mission to STOP the war on children



Child predators are every parent's nightmare. Director and creator of “The War on Children,” Robby Starbuck, knows this all too well.

He also knows that the number of child predators is growing.

“We just had an operation here in Tennessee that was announced this morning,” Starbuck tells James Poulos of “Zero Hour.” “In this operation, they were able to come up with over a quarter million images of child sexual abuse. That’s stunning. In one operation, in one state.”

“They expect that number to grow,” he adds.

While most Americans can agree that child predators deserve harsh sentences, Starbuck wants to take it a step further, telling Poulos that there’s no incentive for these possessed individuals not to hurt children.

“The incentives not to do that, what are they exactly?” he asks. “One hundred years ago, if a man was caught raping a child, he wouldn’t be alive much longer. And that’s why, you know, we spearheaded here in Tennessee, a law change. And it was a law change made to ensure that we challenge bad precedent at the Supreme Court. And that was to give the death penalty to child rapists.”

While predators currently do not get the death penalty for raping a child, Starbuck believes that might be about to change.

“I believe the Supreme Court of today has a makeup where they’re going to do the sensible thing and affirm that you can in fact punish a heinous criminal like this with death instead of paying to keep them alive to the tune of millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars,” he tells Poulos.

“No society can survive if their incentives are all wrong,” he adds.

Starbuck isn’t alone in his assessment of where we’re at as a society and where we'll remain if we don't make a change. Poulos has also recognized the darkness.

“In some ways, it’s become a weirder and darker place, this country, than it has been in a long time,” he says.

INSANE! Did the US government use THIS playbook to GROOM the Trump shooter?



Kyle Seraphin is a recovering FBI agent and whistleblower — and he has a theory as to what might have really driven Thomas Crooks, Trump’s would-be assassin, to pull the trigger on July 13.

“There is a thing that we refer to as the ‘playbook,’” Seraphin tells Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“The ‘playbook’ essentially is this: ‘I found you online, and you’ve got a lot of really dumb ideas, and some of them are violent. And I’m going to encourage all of those dumb and violent ideas. I am either a CHS, a confidential human informant for the FBI, or what’s called a UCE, I’m an online undercover employee,’” Seraphin explains.

“'We’re going to encourage you to do all your dumbest ideas. And not only that, but we’re also going to help you do it for the amount of money that you have. Oh you need a thermal sight belt fed weapon and you only have $940? Luckily for you my friend, $88.99 today only, my buddy will help you get it. He’s a weapons expert,'” Seraphin says, noting that the gun would likely be a dud.

As the agents continue to groom the subject, the subject begins to solidify his plan.

“That person says, 'You know what, I’ve been told to do a terrorism, and I’ve been told to do a terrorism, I’m going to do the terrorism. But I’m not going to wait for my new friend who’s going to give me a thing, I’m just going to steal my dad’s rifle ‘cause it’s right there,'” he says.

“‘So, I didn’t wait for the neutered gun that the government safed and sent me with no firing pin or a shaved-down firing pin,'” Seraphin says. “Now you got a live gun in the situation that should have otherwise been a smooth takedown. I’ve seen these takedowns. I’ve seen a lot of them.”

Seraphin calls these “set-up jobs” and “morally equivalent to entrapment even if they are not legally equivalent.”

“If you want to put on the tin foil hat, that’s the one that I’d put on,” he adds.

Gonzales is intrigued.

“So we know that they do it. We know that it seems weird that this 20-year-old loner was even able to get onto the building,” she says.

“I don’t think they’re morally above trying to set someone onto that path,” Seraphin says. “The goal is to interdict that thing, and then you get all the stats and the praise and you get to tell everybody how we saved the world, even though we created the terrorism. We also stopped the terrorism. That’s kind of the move of the FBI.”

MrBeast's transgender costar quits massively popular children's YouTube channel after grooming accusations



Ava Kris Tyson — a biological male born Chris Tyson before transitioning — was a costar of the MrBeast YouTube channel, which is massively popular with children. However, the 28-year-old transgender YouTube star permanently quit after grooming allegations. Tyson has denied the accusations.

Last month, allegations surfaced in a YouTube video and accused Tyson of grooming a 13-year-old. At the time of the alleged grooming, Tyson was age 20.

The alleged victim — who is now an adult — has recently come out to deny the grooming allegations against Tyson.

"These videos are massive lies and twisting the truth," the alleged victim said. "Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes. I was never exploited or taken advantage of."

On Tuesday, Tyson also denied the accusations in a post on the X social media platform:

"I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. It was not my intent. Seeing recent events we’ve mutually decided it’s best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health. To lump these two factors together to create a narrative that my behavior extended beyond bad edgy jokes is disgusting and did not happen. In past years, I have learned that my old humor is not acceptable. I cannot change who I was, but I can continue to work on myself. I don't want these accusations to impact the hundreds of people who work at MrBeast, which is why I have stepped away."

The MrBeast account features videos of challenges, extravagant stunts, pranks, and philanthropy.

The star of the channel is Jimmy Donaldson – who is MrBeast.

'I am a woman! She/her. I've never said that publicly, but I've been fully confident in that decision for over a year now.'

Tyson and Donaldson were childhood friends and both had been involved in the MrBeast YouTube account since it started garnering popularity.

The MrBeast channel is far and away the most popular YouTube account in the world with more than 305 million subscribers and over 55 billion views.

According to an informal poll with over 1.5 million responses on the official MrBeast X account conducted in 2023, roughly 42% of the MrBeast audience is age 20 or younger.

Tyson married influencer Katie Tyson in 2018 before welcoming a baby in 2020.

Tyson reportedly came out as bisexual in 2020.

In a since-deleted tweet posted in 2023, Tyson allegedly said, "For a little over a year now me and Katie have been separated. We are finalizing things soon but these things take time."

Tyson started hormone replacement therapy in February 2023.

During an interview conducted in July 2023, Tyson claimed to be a woman.

"I am a woman! She/her. I've never said that publicly, but I've been fully confident in that decision for over a year now," Tyson declared.

Donaldson and Tyson did not respond to a request for comment by the BBC.
