Freedom
Freedom is defined in Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary as “a state of exemption from the power or control of another.” It is the power and privilege to carry out our choices whether thoughts, such as love or hate, or actions, such as walking or running. Freedom can be broken into personal, civil, political, and religious freedom. Freedom is the right of every man, woman, and child. However, freedom may be forfeited or taken away (1) by physical laws, including the physical limitations with which we are born, (2) by our own action, and (3) by the action of others, including governments. A loss of freedom reduces the extent to which we can act upon our choices, but it does not deprive us of our God-given free agency.
The war over freedom, which has been ground zero for many of the worlds revolutions and wars, originated from a spiritual battle that began in Heaven (the War in Heaven) and continues on the earth today. It’s a spiritual battle that has reached a culmination foretold in the Bible – a day when good would be called evil and evil good; a day of wars, pestilence, earthquakes, and famine; a day when the love of God grows cold, and a day of widespread apathy and hypocrisy. Since his expulsion from heaven, Satan and those that were cast out with him (now demons on Earth) have sought to destroy and oppose everything that God is trying to build, essentially counter-resistance to all things good.
Neither the Declaration of Independence nor the Constitution of the United States use the word “freedom,” rather describing our rights in the terms “Blessings of Liberty” and “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Liberty is often confused as having the same meaning as freedom, yet there is a difference. Liberty is described in Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary as “freedom from restraint pertaining to the body, will, or mind“. Liberty comes from using our agency to choose and the freedom to do the right actions, those which are just before God. It’s really impossible to separate liberty from obedience to the laws of God, whereas freedom pertains to the ability to think or act as we will, good or bad, and to reap the consequences.
Social media site Twitter is reportedly altering how retweets work on its platform ahead of the November presidential election in an attempt to prevent the spread of what it considers “misinformation” on the platform. The company hopes that adding “friction,” or extra clicks, will slow down the virality of content like the New York Post Biden bombshells the company clumsily censored last week. The Verge reports that social media giant Twitter is altering how retweets on its platform work ahead of the November 3 presidential election in an attempt to prevent the spread of “misinformation.” From today, when users click or tap the ...

A paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine has called for mandating a coronavirus vaccine, and outlined strategies for how Americans could be FORCED to take it. The paper warns that an immediate mandate for the vaccine would spark too much resistance and backlash, so the writers suggest that at first it should be voluntary. However, it suggests that if not enough people are willing to get the vaccine within the first few weeks of it’s availability, it should be transformed into an obligation, with penalties put into place for refusal. The paper outlines “six trigger criteria” that ...
On August 12th Los Angeles County filed charges prohibiting Grace Community Church from holding religious services. But a local judge decided in favor of Grace Community Church to allow religious service if congregants wore face coverings and practiced social distancing. Pastor John MacArthur said at the time that the church was meeting indoors because it was their constitutional right and that it was commanded by God for his people to come together in worship. Factories, pot shops, liquor stores and department stores are allowed to stay open but not houses of worship. County officials were outraged at the judge’s decision this week ...
Tens of thousands of protestors (~40,000) gathered in Berlin today outside the U.S. Embassy to protest the COVID lockdown and demand civil rights and call for a restoration of national sovereignty, liberty and democracy.

Despite attempts by state-run and mainstream media to demonize the protestors as dangerous, violent extremists, the demonstration was peaceful, crossed party lines from left to right, and even featured a piano rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine”. Leftist Berlin Interior Senator Andreas Geisel, a former member of the ...
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a stay Thursday against a lower court injunction that prevented federal law enforcement from arresting journalists during riots in Portland — which rioters abused by posing as “press.” A July order by Judge U.S. Judge Michael H. Simon — a Barack Obama appointee — prevented federal law enforcement from dispersing journalists and “legal observers” during protests. The U.S. Department of Justice appealed the injunction. Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli told the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month that rioters had abused the injunction by wearing signs saying “press” — and then launching violent ...

Facebook announced on Sunday that it would comply with a Brazilian Supreme Court order to remove 12 accounts belonging to supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro. The court claimed that the accounts were guilty of “fake news” and forced the American company to delete them.

The statement read: Facebook complied with the order of blocking these accounts in Brazil by restricting the ability for the target ...
