A proposal has been put forward to essentially remove the tax exempt status of religious organizations, including churches. This means that donations to churches would have no tax benefit to those who donate to them. (1)

For many churches who are already struggling with staying open this could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back resulting in the closing of many churches. These are churches who provide community to many of various ages and ethnicities. (2)

St. Valentine was imprisoned beheaded & buried on 14 Feb 269 AD for helping persecuted Christians & marrying Christian couples! While in prison he prayed for his jailer’s daughter & her blindness was healed. On the day of his execution he left her a note signed, ‘Your Valentine.’ #happyvalentinesday2024 !

Glenn Greenwald says corporate journalists are losing their minds over @elonmusk calling out major corporations for stifling free speech because they are in bed with the very corporations they claim to scrutinize. @ggreenwald explains that we are at a crossroads where journalism, once a watchdog of establishment power, is now shackled by corporate advertisers. "What went wrong here is not what Elon Musk said. It's so revealing that so many journalists are aghast that anyone would dare tell Disney and major corporations to go f**k yourself when they're trying to limit, censor, and control the flow of political content. If you aren't willing to say that to corporations who are trying to limit what you can say, don't bother calling yourself a journalist. We need way more journalists willing to say, go f**k yourself to people who try and limit what they say. The problem is, is that the people who are hired by these major media corporations, and who thrive in them and succeed in them are people who have the opposite instinct. Their instinct is to assuage and serve and placate establishment power, not to defy it. Even though the purpose of journalism is to be adversarial to establishment power. Once journalism started getting corporatized no longer owned by families dedicated to journalism or local communities but by major corporations that have all kinds of other interests besides their media division. And, what kind of attributes are awarded at major corporations? People who avoid controversy who avoid conflict, who avoid displeasing and angering powerful people. That's the corporate ethos, and the corporatization of media meant that that kind of attribute was imported into journalism. And that's why almost no one who works for large media corporations or the media corporations themselves has the courage to say this. They're shocked. They think it's a sign that he's unhinged when in reality, it's just a sign of how cowardly and craven they are."

To those raising the Palestinian flag, Where were you when ISIS was launched and beheaded tens of thousands of Arabs in Iraq, Libya, and Syria in the name of Islam? Why didn’t you take to the streets and raise their flags? Why didn’t you condemn the terror and call for a ”ceasefire”? Where were you when Arab dictators and terrorists killed hundreds of thousands of Arabs in Syria and Libya? Why didn’t you take to the streets and raise their flags? Why didn’t you condemn the terror and call for a ”ceasefire”? Where were you in the last decade when Saudi Arabia, backed by 8 Arab countries, killed 400,000 Yemenis, my own people? I didn’t see any of you take to the streets or raise the Yemeni flag. I did not see any of you condemning the terror and calling for a ”ceasefire” while Arab countries were slaughtering my own people. This must lead to some self-reflection. When millions of Arabs are slaughtered by other Arabs, you say nothing. But when 7 thousand of Arabs are killed by Jews defending their right to exist, you revolt, you get angry, you storm the streets in the East and the West, you raise the Palestinian flag, you condemn the terror, you call for a ceasefire, you turn the world upside down. Why is that? Why were you so silent then but SO LOUD now? Can it be that you are finally raising a flag and creating chaos because you only hate that the perpetrators are Jews? Because you obviously don't care when millions of Arabs are killed by other Arabs. Can it be that you storming the streets is just you venting out your hatred towards Jews? The same hatred we learned in our mosques and schools? You speak of ”numbers and proportionality.” But by the rules of proportionality, you should not be raising Palestinian flags. Unless, there is another agenda at play: Jew-hatred. Or as I would call it: Hatred.

Summary of P*rnhub’s reckoning so far: -10.6 million videos taken down -30 million images taken down -Cut off by Visa, Mastercard, Discover, PayPal -Sued by 257 victims in 10 lawsuits totaling billions in potential damages -Thousands of media articles written exposing P*rnhub’s criminality -Lost all mainstream advertisers -Permanently kicked off Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok losing 14 million followers/subscribers -Cut off by Grant Thornton, Roku, Comcast/Xfinity, Kraft Heinz, Unilever and many more businesses -CEO and COO forced to resign -Secret shareholder found and exposed -Forced to change upload process -Company sold at a discount to hastily concocted private equity firm laughably called Ethical Capital for a desperate whitewashing AND WE AREN’T DONE YET #Traffickinghub movement is growing—we had almost 200 million views and engagements in 2023 so far. Let’s keep the pressure on until we SHUT IT DOWN and LOCK THEM UP. Then we must put age and consent verification policies in place to ensure this atrocity never happens again.
