We have entered the age of AI Agents.
Is this a bad thing?
Windows 11+ is forcing the use of remote computing to accomplish this. There are SEVERE privacy and security risks with this approach. Big Brother has never been closer to total personal information access.
This is not a joke.

For the moment, let's leave religion out of this discussion. I will come back to it later.
All Humans(people), by nature, have the same rights; not dependent on when, where, how, or what gender they are born. These Rights supersede all national affiliations and national laws. These are natural laws. They existed before there were governments and will remain after.
First and foremost, All people own themselves.
All people are entitled to the fruits of their own labor.
All associations, transactions, contracts, agreements, sales, etc. of Any kind, for Any reason must be voluntary. (Non-Aggression Principle or NAP - Aggression/Coercion should not be used to force anyone to do, say, or agree to Anything. The ONLY time aggression may be used is in the defense of the life and rights of yourself (or others) from another party initiating aggression.)
Theft of any kind is wrong.
These represent my ETHICAL stance on way human society should be. I understand that this model of
The bottom line is this: The United States is not at war with Iran.
There has been no invasion of Iranian territory, no American boots on the ground in Tehran, and no congressional declaration of war. What America has carried out are targeted strikes against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps assets, sanctions on the regime, and operations against the proxy militias Iran arms and directs. These are measured responses, not war.
→ Iran has run the exact same kind of conflict for more than 40 years, since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Iran provides material support, weapons, training, cash, and direction to terrorist groups and militias that actively attack and kill Americans. That is textbook proxy warfare. When the United States hits back at IRGC commanders, weapons factories, or proxy command nodes, it is simply responding in kind under the very rules Iran created. Self-defense is not aggression.
Here are the receipts, drawn straight from official US government assessments and tracking reports.
→ First, the Iraq campaign from 2003 to 2011.
The IRGC Quds Force armed and trained Shia militias such as Kataib #Hezbollah, #AsaibAhlAlHaq, and others. They supplied explosively formed penetrators, roadside #IEDs, rockets, and advanced training. The Pentagon’s own declassified assessment, released in 2019 and never retracted, states that at least 603 US personnel deaths in Iraq were the direct result of these Iran-backed #militants.
→ That figure represents roughly 17 percent of all American combat deaths in the entire Iraq war.
Thousands more US troops were wounded, many with life-changing injuries from the EFPs designed specifically to defeat American armor. These numbers come directly from Pentagon spokesmen and declassified military reports, later echoed in White House summaries and independent tracking by groups such as the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
→ Second, the more recent wave of direct attacks.
Starting in 2019 and exploding after October 2023, Iranian proxies carried out more than 180 rocket, #missile, and #drone strikes on US bases across #Iraq, #Syria, and #Jordan. These attacks killed a US contractor at #Kirkuk in December 2019, wounded dozens of American service members in repeated barrages, and in January 2024 killed three US soldiers at Tower 22 in Jordan while injuring more than 40 others. The Pentagon and Central Command have repeatedly attributed coordination and supplies to the #IRGC. The White House itself, in a March 2026 summary of Iranian terrorism, confirmed these figures and the IRGC’s role. That is not ancient history; those are American deaths in the last few years.
→ Third, Hezbollah.
For decades Iran has shipped hundreds of millions of dollars annually, often reaching or exceeding one billion dollars in a single recent year, in cash, precision-guided #missiles, drones, and training. US Treasury and State Department reporting, including 2025 updates, document these transfers funneled through money exchanges and covert channels despite sanctions. Hezbollah has used that support to build the largest rocket arsenal outside any state military and to threaten US partners across the region. The funding line stretches back to the group’s founding in the early 1980s with direct IRGC involvement.
→ Fourth, the Houthis in Yemen.
Iran supplies them with advanced anti-ship #BallisticMissiles, #CruiseMissiles, and attack drones. Those weapons have been used since 2023 to strike US warships, commercial vessels, and Red Sea shipping lanes critical to global trade and American interests. US intelligence and naval reporting tie the technology, training, and direction straight back to #Tehran.
This Iranian strategy is not new. It began with the 1983 #BeirutBarracks bombing that killed 241 US Marines, executed by Hezbollah under IRGC guidance. It continued through the #KhobarTowers attack in 1996, the Iraq campaign that claimed those 603 lives, the contractor killing in 2019, the Jordan deaths in 2024, and the ongoing proxy assaults. Forty-plus years of Americans dying because Iran supplies the weapons, the money, the orders, and the deniability.
Iran has killed and wounded Americans through cutouts while insisting it is not at war. It hides behind the claim that arming terrorists who attack US troops is somehow different from the United States striking the command nodes and supply lines that make those attacks possible. It is not different. It is the same game.
You cannot spend more than four decades funding the deaths of American service members, contractors, and allies, then cry foul when the networks enabling those attacks are dismantled.
#SelfDefense is not #escalation. It is the only reasonable response when someone has been trying to kill your people through #proxies for a generation and a half.
Ownership of Purchased Cars and Modifications:
In there US, when buying a car outright or with a loan, you own the hardware and can legally modify it and its embedded software (including self-driving/ADAS features) under DMCA exemptions, as long as changes comply with safety, emissions, and other laws—liens add value-protection caveats but don't prohibit mods.
Key Points:
Purchasing a car in full cash transfers full ownership, including all built-in hardware/devices as part of the vehicle.
Software is licensed, not owned, but DMCA exemptions allow editing for repair, diagnosis, or lawful mods on owned hardware.
Hardware modifications are legal if they don't violate motor safety laws; software edits (e.g., ECU tuning) are covered by exemptions, excluding distribution or commercial use.
Exemptions include self-driving and driver-assist functions in embedded hardware, with recent expansions for data access.
With a lien (financed purchase), you still own/possess the car and can modify, but check loan terms to avoid reducing collateral value or breaching agreements.
Always ensure compliance with federal (NHTSA/EPA) and state (Indiana BMV) rules; mods may void warranties or affect insurance/inspections.

Google to lock down Android and prevent third party unverified apps from installing in September 2026. Attack on FOSS, distribution (F-Droid etc.), small developers.
"Almost 40 organizations, including Techlore, published an open letter to Google opposing Android Developer Verification, a program that would require all developers to register with Google before distributing apps on Android starting September 2026. Before explaining why we signed, I need to address something: the widely-circulated narrative that Google already backed down from this. They didn't, and that misunderstanding may be the most dangerous part of the story right now."

QUERY: Examine cultural context from the time of Jesus. Using that context, explain Jesus's instruction to turn the other cheek.
GROK:
In the time of Jesus (roughly the early first century AD), Judea was under Roman occupation, a reality that shaped daily life with deep resentment, power imbalances, and frequent humiliation for Jewish people. The region had been under Roman control since 63 BC (after Pompey's conquest), and by Jesus' ministry (around 27–33 AD), Pontius Pilate governed Judea directly as a Roman prefect. Roman soldiers and officials enforced order, collected taxes, and could legally compel Jewish subjects to perform tasks (like carrying gear for a mile) or face arbitrary mistreatment. Jewish society operated within a strong honor-shame culture, where public dignity, status, and social standing mattered enormously—more than individual feelings of guilt or innocence. Actions that shamed someone (especially publicly) inflicted deep injury, often worse than physical pain alone.A slap (or strike to the cheek) carried specific cultural weight. In this right-handed society, the left hand was reserved for unclean tasks and rarely used socially. Striking someone's right cheek with the right hand almost always meant a backhanded slap—not a full fistfight punch (which would typically land on the left cheek if open-handed or fisted). The backhand was never a blow between equals; it was a deliberate insult used by superiors to demean inferiors: a master to a slave, a husband to a wife, a parent to a child, a Roman to a Jew, or any higher-status person to someone lower. It asserted dominance ("You are beneath me") without intending serious injury—its goal was humiliation and enforcement of hierarchy.Jesus' instruction appears in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:38–39):"You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evildoer. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other also."
(Modern translations vary slightly, but the core is the same.)The common modern reading sees this as promoting passive submission or non-retaliation ("be a doormat"). However, in first-century context, it functions as creative, nonviolent resistance—a "third way" between violent revenge and cowering passivity.By turning the other cheek (offering the left cheek after a backhand to the right), the slapped person forces the aggressor into a dilemma:To slap the left cheek with the right hand again requires an open-handed (forehand) blow.
An open-handed slap treated the recipient as an equal, not an inferior.
This act robs the slapper of the ability to humiliate in the accustomed way. It says, nonverbally but powerfully: "I refuse to be demeaned. I am a human being of equal dignity. If you're going to strike me, do it as you would an equal." In an honor-shame world, this flips the script: the oppressor is shamed (exposed as unable to maintain dominance), while the oppressed asserts agency and humanity without escalating to violence (which could provoke deadly Roman retaliation against individuals or communities).Jesus pairs this with similar examples in the same passage:Giving your cloak (outer garment) when sued for your tunic → potentially leaving one naked in court, shaming the creditor by exposing exploitative greed (since public nudity brought shame on the viewer more than the nude).
Going the extra mile when forced to carry a soldier's load for one mile (a legal Roman right) → the soldier risks violating military rules by allowing the extra mile, forcing moral discomfort.
These aren't calls for masochism or endless submission to evil. They teach active nonviolence—resisting dehumanization creatively, refusing the cycle of violence, and exposing injustice without mirroring the oppressor's methods. In a context of Roman brutality and Jewish revolutionary zeal (some groups like Zealots advocated armed revolt), Jesus offers a subversive path that breaks spirals of domination while preserving life and dignity.This interpretation, popularized by scholars like Walter Wink, aligns closely with the cultural dynamics of honor, shame, and asymmetric power in occupied Judea. It reframes "turn the other cheek" not as weakness, but as courageous, dignifying defiance.
_____________
Matthew 5:38-42
“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you."

California #AB2047 : The End of Open Source 3D Printing
California just introduced a bill that doesn't just regulate " #GhostGuns ", it mandates a digital #KillSwitch for every #3Dprinter sold. California AB 2047 requires "blocking technology" that connects your printer to a government-approved database before every single print. If the system goes down, or your file is flagged, your hardware becomes a paperweight.
This isn't just about firearms. This is the death of #OpenSource. If this bill passes, it effectively bans #Marlin, #Klipper, and #OrcaSlicer, forcing every manufacturer to lock down their #firmware. It turns general-purpose computing into a walled garden where you only rent permission to use the hardware you own.

I have 3 questions about general principles of governance?
(please leave opinions based on who is currently in power out of this)
These questions will lead into further discussion...
1) Who should determine what laws get passed in any country?
1a) Specifically, who should determine what laws get passed in the USA?
2) Should all laws be enforced (equally) ?
#Law #Government #Governance #Resident #Citizen #Enforcement #Equality #Rights
Why Do We Sing, Lift Our Hands, Shout, Kneel, or Bow in Church?
There are two general reasons:
We do these things to show others and receive recognition from people.
We do these things to honor and praise God.
The first stems from a desire for human approval, which has no lasting value in God's eyes. The second flows from a heart devoted to Him—the kind of worship He seeks (John 4:23-24).When we do these things for the wrong reasons, they have no eternal value. They become like the Pharisees Jesus condemned: those who "love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full." (Matthew 6:5). The fleeting approval of people is all they get—no heavenly reward.
When our focus is on God, the outcome is entirely different. These expressions help center our thoughts on:
Who God is in His nature and character,
What He has done (His mighty works and salvation),
What He commands us to do,
And the promises He has made to us.
We are reminded of His faithful love toward us—even when we rebelled—and we encourage one another by recalling our commitments to Him and the answered prayers we've seen.
In short, we express our joy and gratitude to God for who He is and what He has done.
It is not about us. It is about Him.
So when you praise and worship God, do not be afraid of what others will say. Do not worry about embarrassment or the pressure to conform. Consider King David. He "was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod." So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark "with shouting and the sound of the trumpet." This was despised by his wife Michal, who "looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
"David's response shows his true heart: "It was before the Lord... therefore I will celebrate before the Lord. I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes..."
Kneel. Dance. Shout. Whisper. Raise your hands. Bow your head. Whatever the Spirit leads you to do in genuine worship, don't hold back.
This is between you and God.
(Full context: 2 Samuel 6:12-23, NASB)

"Abortion is #demonic, by the way. Yeah, Satan would kill God if he could, but he can't, so he kills babies because he knows it wounds the heart of the Father [and] causes chaos on the earth.
You see, abortion is actually the #sacrament of #Satan because abortion says, "You must die so I can live." But Christ says, "No, I must die so you can live," and chooses to enter human history in a uterus of all locations to redeem mankind from their sins.
This is why #PeterKreeft, the Catholic philosopher who's still alive today, spoke more prophetically on the issue of abortion than any Protestant I've ever heard. And he said, "Don't you know, Church? Abortion is the demonic parody of the #Eucharist. That's why it uses the same holy words: 'This is my body,' but with the opposite, #blasphemous meaning."
Yeah, do you think it's a coincidence that the central phrase of the entire #abortion industrial complex and the culture of death today are the same words of our #Savior at the first #communion: "This is my body"?"

An unborn baby is a human.
Period.
Full stop.
So, when is it OK to kill an innocent human? This is the question that needs to be asked...
My personal view is that life begins at conception. This means no elective abortion ever. If a medical emergency occurs and a choice of saving the mother or the baby must be made, then that is a different question.

"Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “You shall also say to the sons of Israel:
‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel who gives any of his offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his offspring to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name. If the people of the land, however, should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to death, then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family, and I will cut off from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot after Molech."

The coverup culture inside the abortion industry is a real thing. They will prosecute you. They will declare war on
you. They will attack you in all manner of ways. And so I have a guest today. AJ Hurley is going to talk about what he
found and what they did to him to try to cover it up. So AJ, why don't you take it away, man?
Yes. So thanks for having me on, Mike. I um man was a target of the abortion
industry. I was looking at 10 years in federal prison for exposing live
dismemberment of uh babies uh that viable children that could survive
outside of the womb. Um locked up in DC um all of a sudden tried to be
extradited from DC to California being held on felony stalking charges uh for a
woman I'd never met. I uh exposed through Freedom Freedom of Information
Act requests uh the grizzly practice of fetal organ harvesting in our nation's
UC systems. Um exposed it to the world and for two years did a public
information kind of blast and they came after me with pretty much everything
they had. I uh am facing $50,000 in
fines and uh uh narrowly escaped a 4-year legal battle whereby they were uh
trying to lock me up to upper upwards of 10 years in federal prison for free speech expose, public uh information
blasts and letting the world know of uh babies being born alive in our uh
medical institutions. Yeah, we're talking that's the gist of it. [laughter] We're going to let you tell the whole
story and and I want this is the thing is that AJ's just one example of one guy. You're not even the only guy that's
this has happened to in recent years who's try to expose what's going on inside the abortion industry and then was met with intense lawfare, I think is
the popular term for it now, right? Where basically they're they're immorally trying to use the law to oppress you. I've seen people who are
outside just just calling out to women who are on their way to abortion clinic, hey, do you need any help? we can and
then getting arrested for it. So it it this is not like a gentle let's see if
we can change things in our culture on abortion nice and gently. It's a war.
This thing is is a war. And I think that as Christians we should be like let's let's fight this battle
and let's use whatever we can that that we can use under God, you know, and to do that with. So tell us from the beginning. Let's back
up. We'll go through it all in detail. You have a lot to share. Mostly AJ will be talking today, you guys. I brought him here because I met him when I was at
an event last year. Basically, he told me his whole story and I said, "Hey, can I can I please get you on? I want you to
tell this to everyone because it's insane that this isn't being carried by all the news media, if you ask me. It's crazy.
It's crazy. But but it really is entrenched. It is so entrenched. The abortion multi-billion dollar industry
is so entrenched and and it's evil and satanic and we should do whatever we can go in a godly way to
fight against it. So AJ, amen. Well, guide us through the journey. [laughter] Yeah, feel free to interrupt me along
the way and um you know, I would like to make it conversational if you have any questions or anything. I'd imagine if I
you have a question, the audience does too. But so a little bit of my background. So I I work with Seth
Gruber. I'm the national outreach director for the White Rose Resistance. I'm Southern California, mainly kind of
people around there, wildly popular, but becoming a movement across the nation. Super happy to be at the forefront of
that on the leadership team. But um so my name is AJ Hurley. I um grew up in
Southern California, went to the M's University, studied, got my education there. Uh became a respiratory
therapist. I grew up kind of in the medical field. I worked on the ambulance and then went back to school, became a
respiratory therapist, and then got my dream job at UCLA Medical Center putting little babies on ventilators. I uh never
in a million years thought I'd be doing that, but it was really cool. So, I like to say my my journey to the pro-life
movement was so unusual. It didn't start in a in a uh you know, at a rally or at
a a Seth Gruber speaking event. Um it started in the
halls of a sterile hospital. where I was essentially looking into a womb. Now, my wife always tells me I you
need to you need to clarify what you mean by that, AJ. Looking into a womb. What does that mean? What I mean by what
I [laughter] mean by that was this is um you know, I I was putting these little babies that should be on in a womb on my
life support breathing machine. And uh essentially these little babies
were valuable because we said there were they were and little children in another
area of the hospital kind of another building was the the area where the
abortion clinic was that I wasn't even aware of. Uh, babies way older than the ones I was saving, Mike, were being
lifelessly ripped apart, arms torn off their bodies, skulls crushed, and every
single day, this painful reality as a Christian man that I was doing nothing
about this wholesale genocide of image bearsers of God in the womb that they're
valuable. It was like this dichotomy, this hypocrisy that we're p putting
millions of dollars of resources into this little child in the name of health care
and babies way older in the same name of health care were being violently torn
apart. And the only difference between that baby over there and this baby there
is literally a fiat decision as to his mother as to which one was valuable. And
this baby was valuable just because we said they were. And if they weren't,
they were subject to die. So I started, this is so important. I want to encourage the audience as you're
watching right now, like don't please don't look away. I know that this this video and the content we're about to talk about, it's it it never does well
on YouTube, almost never to do any video on this kind of stuff. Um I know it's hard because there are people who watch who are even pro-life
who were like, I'm already on the same page as you. I just don't want to hear it. But what I want to encourage you guys with is we are the agents of change. if
we choose to be on this topic. We really are, you are, you can be an agent of change on this issue. And there's a ton
of different ways you can do that. But what we have to do is as a culture, we have to look long and hard at this. Like
Josiah's reforms that amazing reforms that happened in the Old Testament, the King Josiah, they find the book of the
law and then they went ahead and read it. And they sat there and read it and it it just exposed them like, "Oh my goodness, look at the evils we're doing.
We have so much wickedness in our culture." They literally were doing all the wicked things but weren't seeing it
clearly. What we're doing right now is trying to help people see it clearly. Okay, call this the reading of the book
of the law, right? Thou shalt not murder. This is this is the idea that we're made in God's image. We're reading these these things to us and then taking
a serious look at abortion in our culture, abortion, and the way the industry handles. And we'll talk later about the pro-life movement. We'll we
towards the end we'll get into that and the the debates you were bringing up with me privately about that. We'll talk about some of that. So, let's just get
into all of it and say, um, please Christians, watch this. Please Christians, care about this. This is
this is the Holocaust of our time, except that the numbers are far larger. This is way worse than probably any
atrocity you've ever read about in human history. And it's happening right now, and it's
considered a right and protected. And those who raise their voices are persecuted for it. So there's so many of
us that if we just take a long look at what's happening, we can we can raise up an army, a godly army to to come against
it. So AJ, please continue% but but thank you for sharing these things. Well, I I was one of those Christians
that just was like, I don't want to get involved in because this is political and then I was just more and more aware
that wait, hold on. If everything that's good and moral and decent and right and
we as Christians are called to fight against is labeled as political, Satan
lights up and says, "Oh, amazing. All I have to do is label everything that's godly as political and I can ensure the
silence of the church." Uh, and this was what I was gripped at. So I I'll never forget the day that that
I changed and as I was being convicted as these babies were rebuking me with 10
as the with the force of 10,000 armies um that I would I refused to be silent.
It was I literally went down to into the lunch counter and it was a huge department. We're eating lunch and the
head of my department walks in and something on the TV triggered her and she said, "I can't believe these
Republican men telling women what to do with their bodies." And the Holy Spirit was just tugging on me like, "Are you
are say something defend these children." She brought it up. It's not like you're getting political at the
lunch hour. and this long silence and the you could have heard a pin drop and
I said nothing and I went back in into the elevator went up to the fifth floor
[snorts] looked into a womb as I say and I just literally ran to the bathroom in
tears getting I got on my knees and said Lord today is the day I'm never being silent about this any longer and man my
life was transformed I got I started getting involved with the pro-life movement with a a an organization it's
called surv survivors of the abortion holocaust down in Southern California. And then I became aware of a guy named
David Deliden's work. David Deliden had did those expose videos of Planned Parenthood where he haggled the organs.
He he created a fictitious organization buying organs and he just recorded these
people selling the organs of children for research contracts. And I was just blown
away by this. And then I said, "Completely illegal. Completely illegal." And then I said,
"Is this happening at my hospital? What is going on?" So I we started foyer
requesting tons, hundreds of foyer requests for fetal organ um tissue logs and anything
having to do with Freedom of Information Act requests in reference to uh fetuses
and fetal research, fetal tissue. And what we got back was absolutely
unbelievable. I mean, fetal tissue logs, brother, lungs and livers and thymuses
and I mean, literally, I hate to be grotesque, but clitorises and penises of
six-mon gestational babies that they were grafting on lab rats for every type
of diabolical experimentation you can imagine. And this is all public information and
nobody was talking about this. So um we found out that the belly of the beast in
terms of uh fetal tissue research uh fetal explor exploration and e
experimentation was happening at the University of California San Francisco UCSF.
And so we just exposed it all. We had pictures of um intestines of children
hanging off of lab rats. And uh we did a 2-year, it's actually still ongoing, so
it's been about maybe six years now, but we did a 2-year um
public information campaign exposing it, standing on public property at UCSF with
huge signs with links to the Federal um information act FOYA uh transparency
documents. We and we're going to we're going to put some links down below when we're done here. You're going to send me some stuff.
Yeah. Yep. I have tons people can follow that up. Yeah. Lots of research. You guys, it'll be linked down below as well.
So, what we found got worse and worse. We actually found that through David Deliden's research that the way that
they were doing this in order to get viable tissue, they have to do it in
such a way that violates the Born Alive Inference Protection Act. And for all
intents and purposes, by every single amount of research available to us,
babies are being either born alive or they are violating the Born Alive
Infants Protection Acts and federal law. So, I could get into that, the specifics
of that if you want. I don't know if you want me to continue and just tell where you want to go from here, but it would
take about five minutes for me to explain how how that's even possible. Sure, we can do that. But let's let's
put it in context for everybody. Just so we know, like what they're doing is no matter how they're killing these humans,
it's evil and wrong and immoral. But what we can do is we can say, "Hey, at least as we're searching to to try to
stop things and put a stamp on things, we can use laws that are present to say, hey, you guys are even violating the
not enough laws that you put in place." Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you're even violating those things. It's to show that this is
this stuff is so depraved. I guarantee you these people go home and they sleep peacefully in their bed and they have no
conscience about it and they laugh at us for even thinking that it's a problem. The depravity and the conscience being
seared is so hard. It's just exactly what scripture says. God gave them over to a debased mind. And this issue of of
of killing of humans always wrong. What what what can we do except try to
get laws passed and then try to use whatever laws we have present to prosecute at least the violations of
those laws while we're seeking to uh change things in a bigger way. And we'll talk about that more as we go, but go
ahead and tell us and abortion is already wrong, but like what everybody should see as like
regardless even if you're pro-choice, they are doing this on viable children.
We have fetal tissue logs of sixmon gestational babies 24 weeks old. You
babies have survived outside of the weeks just over 20 weeks. I know one my friend's daughter. Yeah. Yeah. And so um they have to violate
these laws. And if I'm wrong on this, please sue me because I would love to
actually take you to discovery and and and show and prove to the world that
this is all happening. But um so how it works is second after the first
trimester there are two abortion procedures there's four total there's four ways to kill a baby uh through
abortion one the first two are happen in the first trimester the second late term
happen in the second and third so in order to kill a sec second trimester baby of uh the ones that we're getting
these tissue uh requests for you have to do what's called either a DNA dilation
and evacuation or a labor induction. Now, basically just for simplicity sake,
you dilate the the woman's cervix for two day for two days uh by inserting
something called laminer. It's a big big sponge makes a big gaping hole and then you either insert surgical instruments
and tear apart limb by limb or you just induce labor and you uh give birth to a
child. Now you ask, how does this baby not come out alive if you're doing an induction? If you're inducing labor in
delivering the child, well, they a day before they take a long needle through the woman's stomach and they gave a gave
a lethal dose of a drug called Dejoxin that stops the baby's heart. Now the
problem is if you need to um get these organs for fetal research that drug
nukes all of the stem cells of the tissues that you need for fetal organ research.
So how are so no money? So the the now if you do it through a disarticulation
with the first procedure the DNC, the only way to get viable tissue is to
change the abortion procedure and specifically alter it to where you
cannot damage the tissues that you want. The problem with that is it's a huge
violation of federal law, the Boralive Infants Protection Act. And um the
partial birth abortion ban says that you cannot alter the abortion procedure in
any way. And so either way, if you abide by the law, you cannot get at the end of
the process legal uh a legal way to acquire these organs.
So, we caught them red-handed in this um and rather than um change their
policies, I mean, we we went to every single level lever of power. We lobbyied
the the regents. We showed up at regency meetings and city council meetings, the
whole thing. Um bringing forth our research and they just would handwave it. So after two years of being there on
on public property with a sign and handing out tens of thousands of
literature pieces from the UC's, all of the hospitals around all of the
university uh medical buildings, uh the the university uh the colleges, they
started just illegally arresting me. So they would arrest me for trespassing
on public property and then the DA would just throw it out because I was on public property. So they arrested me
about eight times. They arrested my colleagues. They were just doing everything they can to make us go away
and have us not shed light on this. Um well what we did was um we kept on we
just did big protests. We got people on there causing a ruckus and and doing
prayer events. We did rallies, the whole deal. And the the Andy just started
getting elevated and elevated. They just wanted us to go away. Well, I don't know
if you guys remember, but there was this thing called uh justice for the five that happened. Do you do you know what
that is, Mike? Only a little bit. You should explain it. Okay. Yeah. So, um, we did a West Coast
tour hitting all these spots and an East Coast tour hitting all these spots. On the East Coast tour, I was in Washington
DC where two of my friends were outside of one of the abortion clinics
and they found a box of aborted children on its way to a medical waste facility.
They picked this box up and it was essentially given to them by the medical
waste driver who had transported them from the abortion clinic into his truck
and had no clue that he was picking up dead babies. Uh they convinced him to let a pastor
have these children and give them a burial. They open this box. There's 115 aborted
babies inside. Five of them were third trimester nearly full-term children and
they had overwhelming evidence of everything we're talking about. Born alive um abortions
um partial birth abortion um one of the babies was still in its amniotic sack.
Never before in 20 years had ever anybody ever seen this or knew that it was still happening. I mean, we knew it
was happening, but every, you know, the world just said, "Oh, that's a that's a,
you know, conspiracy theory that third trimester happens or they only happen if the moms, you know, dying." And, um, and
so, um, this became a huge news story because of the overwhelming evidence
that babies were being born alive. Um, and the thing is this is it's not just this is a random box.
This is a one random box of aborted Tens [clears throat] of thousands of boxes every day that are
picked up across the nation. One box in the last 20 years and this is what it
shows. Where was this? Where was this at? This was in Washington DC at the a Washington surgery center.
Surgery center, an abortionist named Cesari Santangelo. So this made national news. We turned
the babies over to the DCPD. Mayor Bowser and the head of the chief of police did a public uh press conference
and said nothing to see here. Uh you can kill a baby to the day birth in DC. So
no, you know, no investigation will be performed. No autopsies will be done. Go
away. And they would have ex they would have incinerated these babies. But Congress got involved. Marjorie Taylor
Green, uh, Anna Paulina Luna, Ted Cruz, a bunch of people said, "No, that this is murder and don't don't destroy this
evidence or we're going to come after you." Can I just say I think that part of the hubris that they have to do this
knowing that there's got to be so many people in the hospital on staff individuals who who know the parent the
mothers themselves who know that these procedures are happening that are not legal but they there's this sort of
you're you're what state are they in again? DC. Yeah. So they know it's it's not
nothing's going to happen here. They know the mayor's going to come out and be like don't worry we won't even investigate. We will not even
investigate to confirm the details of what happened. Guys, continue as you were. That's that's a dog whistle for
the rest of the the uh the abortion clinics. Keep doing business as usual. Absolutely. They even when you catch
these people red-handed with either our free foyer requests in UCSF or literally
held I mean I took photos and videos, Mike, of babies this big. Um with overwhelming evidence that they
had born alive. Every single one of these babies, Mike, could have survived at UCLA with little to zero medical help
at all. And I mean, babies can survive at that gestational age. The only reason why you need to kill them and not adopt
them is specifically because you want these children to be killed. Um, but I
mean, we saw that with David Deiden. He exposes this whole thing, gets video evidence of these people admitting it
over lunch, admitting it in public. And the only person who has ever prosecuted
is the man who exposed it themselves. It's insane. Absolutely insane. This is
this is highlevel organized government cover up 1,000%.
So huge national news story breaks forth.
All the photos and videos of these babies, Justice for the Five, you can look it up. Washington DC, Justice for
the Five, go everywhere. And all of a sudden, I get swooped up by the police
in DC. And they hold me in I I kid you not, brother, a a cage that was this
wide and about the length of my body for two days.
And I wish I was in solitary confinement because they put me in there with a liceridden schizophrenic man screaming
and maniacally laughing for 48 hours. Oh my gosh.
And they're trying to wear you down. They don't tell me why I'm being held.
They don't tell me what's going on. They don't tell me when I'm getting a bit out. And I'll tell you what, the
psychological effects it was it was so dark in there. You don't they don't tell you what time it is. So, I don't know
whether it's night or day, what when I'm getting out and just the psychological effects of not I I cannot imagine what
the J6ers went through for that for six months to a year or even longer. Um, but
it was just so traumatizing. So they put me in a bigger holding cell for about
six days and they finally bring me for a judge
and they start reading my charges. Mr. Hurley is a fugitive from justice
being held on felony stalking charges and list a whole litany of charges from
vandalism to um face act to um
trespassing, resisting arrest, all of these things. Um and I'm just like,
dude, you've got the wrong guy. This is must be some huge clerical error,
something. They they tried to extradite me from DC, put me in a bus all the way
s to um to San Francisco. Thank God the judge was like, "Dude, this guy has no
charges. He's never he's never been he's never been arrested before his life. He's got no convictions on his record.
Like, what are you trying to do?" Has mercy on me and lets me fly back the next day to turn myself in. They held me
six days there and I entered a 4-year legal battle
um on felony stalking charges for a woman I've never said two words to or
even met I met her once in my life in passing. And um all of a sudden this is
what I'm looking at. Up to 10 years in federal prison, up to $50,000 in charges and fines, which I'm still facing. and
um all for exposing babies born alive in DC and babies being
harvested in our federally taxf funded research projects at the University of
California, San Francisco. So that's that's that's the gist of it.
I mean I can go into more of I mean they they came to my house, they took all of my guns on red flag laws. um just strict
conditions of release. I had to call twice uh a week. Actually, initially, first for the first two years, it was
three times a week. Then they knock it down to two twice a week, letting him know where I'm at, what's going on, as
if I'm some, you know, mass murderer or something. Um all for standing up and
and exposing what these people are doing in secret. It's insane. It's absolutely insane.
you've got um all this going on. Is there do you get to hit back with like malicious prosecution or something like
that? So that so that how that works is um the answer is no. you have to beat all the
charges first. And um they know they have you by the you know what because
how it works in these liberal cities is they charge you with everything under the sun and then they say this. Okay,
you can either plead to X charges, which they were saying, "We want you to
be a felon, never be able to vote, never be able to own firearms again."
[clears throat] And um and then we'll let you plea to this. I'm I'm I'm like, "Plee a felony stalking? I didn't stalk anyone. What
are you talking about?" Um or they say, "Okay,
you can go to a jury trial in San Francisco on stalking an abortionist and
see how that goes for you." So, every single lawyer I'm looking at, I've consulted with, and plenty of them
independently say this, AJ, none of this makes any legal sense
whatsoever. They don't have a single shred of of of of to to convict you of this stuff, but
if you go to a jury trial in San Francisco, they will just basically
convict you for just being pro-life there. You have close to a 0% chance of
coming out without everyone was saying you're probably looking at least two years, probably three years in federal
prison when this is all done. this is what you're expecting to be the outcome of what's happening now.
So, thankfully, we shed massive light on this and after
a four-year legal battle, I took a plea deal of two two misdemeanors for zero
time. But that but until the 11th hour, none of them were saying they would
offer that. and we basically lawyered up to the hilt and we put as much of legal
pressure as possible with the best lawyers you could probably put on this, right? You're you're in a rare position
where you actually because things got so much media, you were able to get more support. You had a lot of people coming
behind you to support you, whereas the average person would just would have no recourse. They would have
they would just be in jail and what' you get in jail for and and be like, "I don't know. I don't I don't know. I I
I tried to say that the I showed evidence that these guys are breaking the laws and now I'm in jail because we have a corrupt system because we have
corrupt leaders because we have corrupt jurors that are are convinced that the
evidence doesn't matter that they don't want any laws guarding and protecting babies. They they just want abortion on
demand paid for by taxpayers happening as much as possible. There's the It
blows my mind that we live in a culture that actually has something called the shout your abortion campaign.
Yeah. That's celebrate you killing your own kid campaign. Totally.
Yeah. And and the fact of the matter is like how the system is worked is set up is, you know, all of these judges are
all appointed by either Obama, a Biden, all these people. And I mean, you saw
this at my plea hearing is I mean, I was just treated like an absolute piece of
trash. You know, this this abortionist goes on on the record saying that somehow she felt threatened for her
life. I don't know why. We've nothing never said anything but loving things to her, pleading the gospel to her. and you
know um but they if I was to go to a trial on this the how they how it works
is none of the justifications for what we did all the Freedom of Information Act requests none of that is a legal
defense none of that you can't they will say you can't bring any of that in court they I mean my friend uh uh was was
prosecuted under similar things and they said you can't even say the word abortion in your defense because it has
to be about the facts of the case and whether or not this or so a
justification of the rights or protections of pre-born is specifically barred from from court and they will
they will call you in contempt if you make it about any reasons or justifications for the legality of what
you were trying to to highlight that that sounds crazy that sounds
insane like that the jury would need to have that information to make a judgment wouldn't they anyway I don't know I'm
not a lawyer I just know morality that's wrong. [laughter] That's immoral. Okay. I don't know the
law. I know I know morality and that's immoral. And so so you because you you took a plea deal because the advice your
attorneys are saying you're you're going to you're going to lose because of they're going to bring you to San Francisco for this and you're going to get the San San Francisco people.
Um and um does that mean you you don't have the ability to like do something
about the malicious prosecution or whatever the right term for it is? Well, I I I would if I hadn't taken a
plea deal. how how it works is you you have to win all of the charges outright.
Um you have to beat those in court and then you can present that forward. But the the price is just too high. And
I think this is this is the right if there was a silver lining here, brother, it was this, you know, as when
I when I they put me in DC and I'm sitting in this this dungeon of tiny
cages. I was put on this bunk bed with no
mattress, no pillow. It's literally a sheet sheet metal sleeping on.
And like God is just I'm like to say that I wasn't afraid in that situation
to say that like I would totally be lying to you. I mean I my anxiety was through the roof and I had this
it was just like a crisis of conscience like AJ what are you doing here you are
you you know you had the six figure salary you had the dream job at UCLA
medical center you know you had the great place to live and the beautiful wife and the everything only to be
facing like you're sitt sitting in this tiny cell
picking lice out of your hair. Like surely God, this is not what you had envisioned for my life.
But what was amazing about that time was God, he didn't peel back all the
anxiety. It was still there. But what he showed me was something that was just profound.
It was that like, you know, James O'Keeffe has this classic line. He says,
"Everyone has a price, but if your price is not your life, then
you are for sale." And to me, it was like all the sudden
the secret to ending abortion was like right in front of me. We don't. It's abortion exists right now
in America not because we love babies too little,
but because we love our lives too much. We love our comfort too much.
And I'm sitting there and God is saying
if the price that you're willing to endure to end abortion
is not at least this and as much as your life if the co that literally the cost
of disciplehip is the cost to end abortion. And until
we recognize as Christians that the price that we should be willing
to pay, whether it be our jobs or our careers or our money or our time, our
treasure, our influence, if that doesn't reach the level of what
Jesus says, if anyone comes after me and wants to be my disciple and is not willing to go to
the cross for me, is not willing to die for me. He's not fit to be my disciple. And we understand that, Mike, when it if
if somebody puts a gun to your head and says, "Reject Christ or I'm going to kill
you." We understand that as the the sacrifice for disciplehip.
We quickly see that in a different category when
the price is how much are you willing to suffer to love the least of these? How
much are you willing to endure for the price to end this great great
demonic evil of child sacrifice in your land? What is your price?
And if the your price is not the cost of disciplehip, if you see it as anything else,
we will never end this evil. I would I would I think those are I
think there's a lot of wise words um and a good sober wakeup call. And I think there's another element to it for for
people which is we want to be guaranteed that when we pay a a price for something
that it's going to work. And I think there's an element where we have to go no you have to actually go in
pay the price and not know if it's going to work or not but know that what you did was worthy. It was a worthy act. I I
stepped out and I tried because there's so much defeatism that keeps people from even trying because they just think I just don't see how that's going to work.
I don't see how that's going to be successful. And I'm going, man, people who've changed the world in hindsight,
it's like they just bootstrapped the whole thing. You know, God used them in great ways. And it's not like you could have predicted this will work.
You couldn't have mostly. It's just it worked. And it it worked because not only they did it, but before them, lots
of other people tried and that ended up being the groundwork for transformation, but they never knew this for their whole
lives. They never knew it. And so I think that there's something healthy about going I will lay my life down for
godly causes to serve the Lord and I won't look back to to test the fruit
because because I that will only slow me down. I just need to march ahead and serve.
It's so good. I mean so one of the the talks that in our training for for white rose resistance we we talk about like
the three things that you need to do to change the world. This is a talk I give is like one you need to know the truth is Christ. you need to live the truth
and you need to die for the truth. And so the last thing is the thing that
nobody wants to do, you know, is we're willing if if we could, as you said, if
we could have this guarantee, you know, if if I said to anybody, any Christian
listening, I would you give up your life to if you could be guaranteed that
abortion would end? I'd imagine most people maybe would say yes to that, but
it's the unknown of will we labor and tarry and give our lives for something
that we will never ever maybe even see the fruit of. And I mean that's what Jesus says unless a grain of wheat falls
into the ground and dies and remains alone. And he t he says those two things dies and remains alone.
Those are two probably the two worst things. Maybe something worse than death is just abandonment.
Yeah. Well, I think it says if it unless it dies, it does remain alone. It will be
it won't produce fruit, right? It has to die to to, you know, multiply. Yeah. And and so the cost of
abandonment, the cost of dying to yourself, that is what it takes to to change the
world. I mean, that's what changed the world. and 12 ordinary bumbling fisherman idiots overthrew in three
centuries the Roman Empire through a peaceful revolution of sorts of just not
with strength of chariots and horses and swords and armor but with the message
that gives life of this second person of the Godhead who went through every
single stage of human development dignifying once and for all the embryionic stage,
the fetal stage of human development. Um that birth freedom and has echoes of
liberty and justice that reverberated into human history and ended slavery and
give gave um a dignity to women and ended abortion
and infanticide and there is no secret you know to changing
the world. It's right. It's through the gospel. It's through the gospel. Yeah. And it was it was Christians in
the early church who would um so Romans would take their you know this I'm sure would take their babies that they didn't
want and they would leave them out on the porch or on the street and then the dogs at night the would go through the
city and basically that was their their way of getting rid of the kids they didn't want. Yeah. And uh Christians would come and rescue
these children and raise them as their own and this was something that that that believers did. You know the dedicay had
one of the earliest extra biblical texts we have of new Christian of of from Christianity
is saying that you know we don't do this we don't expose our children like this is something Christians don't do we rescue them we don't expose them
and um and that's not the dedicay even talks about abortion it says like litally starts off there is
two paths to life one of life and one of death thou shalt not kill a uh kill a
child from abortion or destroy that which has already been generated and St.
Basil in the 4th century used his power and influence to make abortion a crime
throughout the Roman Empire. And it he literally says uh she who delivers uh uh
deliberately destroys a fetus uh is shall be guilty of the crime of murder along with those who give her the
abortacient poisons. So it wasn't this thing just merely of of babies with
infanticide outside of of the womb on high places being exposed to the
elements. It was also because they understood something. The incarnation
shatters every single demonic ideology that dehumanizes what's in the womb.
Because abortion is literally a a christoologgical heresy because it would
assert that at some point God was fully human but not a divine person. So this
is one thing I love to to ask pro-choice Christians if you could even uh call
them that is I say well you believe in the trinity right? Like you believe that Christ is fully divine. Well, at what
point of of Christ's human life did he become a divine person? And you're put
in this really big quagmire because that would violate the hypothatic union, right? Jesus was fully divine from the
single second that he became a human being. It took upon human flesh and there was no point in his life that he
wasn't that second person, divine person, a god man in the womb.
Yeah. Amen. I mean, yeah. in the IMO day and there's so many theological principles that just make this very
plain and clear. Um what we have though is we have questions
that remain like what do Christians do? What are the most effective ways of actually bringing change in the culture?
Um what what is like the marching orders for how we can over the next whether
it's 10 years or 50 years or 100 years change everything and put a stop to it. And you you know you guys spend more
time thinking about this than I do. What do you think? Well, I love this question because I always I always say there's a biblical
middle ground and then there's ditches on either side of the road. Um, so on
one side of the the ditch is this kind of social gospel or liberation theology
where it says essentially clean up society, you know, put a band-aid on
everything, make people really moral. And that's the call of Christians, right? is is this li Christianity is
just this liberating force that just is a social kind of cleansing apparatus
where we clean everybody is up their lives and give this Christless redemption.
On the other side of the ditch is something you and I grew up in Calvary Chapel and the Harvest Crusade and the
whole thing which tends I love love the movement but I think what I heard growing up was like we don't get
involved in the politics. We just preach the gospel. Um so it's like as if the gospel didn't have to do with uh loving
your neighbor. if the gospel didn't have to do with like issues in society that
intersect with with laws and and legal things that dehumanize the the the human
person. And so I think the biblical ground is is Christ not only the gospel
but in the great commission and it starts with all authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. Therefore uh
go and preach the gospel. And when I do, I I the gospel affects every single area
of life, right? So if if I meet a guy on the street and I say and he tells me um
he's been sleeping with his girlfriend, uh well, I I tell him, "Hey, that's
wrong. That's something that God has explicitly forbid that separates you from God. Be reconciled to God. repent
of those things [snorts] and come to Christ and he will regenerate you, give you a new heart and everything in your
life is transformed. We understand that in a personal
capacity of personal sin but uh for some reason we don't make those like is is
just like suddenly if abortion is in view that those aren't things that the
gospel is touches you know and so it's huge obviously if yeah there's
there's no reason in any way shape or form for Christians to seed any ground
or or any any like authority to speak to the topic of abortion. We're we're to cry out for the oppressed. True religion
is what? It's helping the weak, right? The fatherless, the the the the orphans, the widows.
The these are the people you you you help out. And how much does a a child need to be helped when
their own mother is trying to get them killed? When when doctors [clears throat] in government are colluding against them to get them
killed? I mean, the Egyptian midwives are lauded in scripture for the same
reason that I would applaud anybody, even if it's messy, and they're getting involved in in in pro-life causes and
trying to help and make a difference and make a change. And I'd be like, you guys are you guys are reaching out to save the ones who are about to be destroyed.
Yeah. This is a beautiful and good thing. Yeah. And so, I mean, there have been pro-life organizations that I know of
that will make people sign a statement saying, "I will not use the gospel." And it's like, what are you talking about? I
mean, what were Who who makes what organizations make people sign those statements? Oh, man. I don't want to put them on
blast publicly. Um, I do. [laughter] Hey, man, you're making people sign it.
What are you talking about? I know. I know. I know. Um, they have since softened some of their stance on
that. I want to be very careful because I work with these people. Um, tell them that they need to stop or
[laughter] maybe I'll I'll put them on blast before he does that. But, um, but it's like you're you're
destroying The one force that can actually change a
human heart. I mean, what we're what I'm experiencing all the time on college campuses is more and more as society is
being degenerated, young people are s they know what's in the womb. It's not
like 50 years ago when people said, "Oh, if wombs had windows and if people just saw a 5D ultrasound, they would all
they'd be pro-life. We could just convince them of the science that human beings are human beings in the womb.
They all know it's a human being. Now, majority, most of the the young people on college campuses I talk to, they're
like, "No, I know it's a human. It's not a person yet." And so, at that point,
what do you do when they agree with you that the science
confirms exactly what you've been saying, but they just say, "I I think we should just have the choice to be able
to kill it." Because this is what Bill Maher said a few a number of years ago. Yeah. He was like, "Let's just be honest. We
know this is a baby. We just think it's okay to kill it." Yep. He just he said he said, "I I know
it's murder. I'm just okay with that." So AJ, you're on a college campus.
You have a student come up to you and they say that and they they What What do
you say? And is there anything that like that changes their mind that you find useful?
all pro-life talk goes out the window and now now we are having and I'm I
don't know I what I I I love the presuppositional model model of apologetics
it it's like okay let's talk about morality let's talk about truth what is your epistemic justification for for
morality even in your worldview and then just breaking them down helping them see
that all truth belongs to God all morality if you if you reject God you
have no basis for these things because morality is just a societal convention and it's a gospel conversation. And I I
I think it's such a shame that that Christians have kind of divorced these
political issues because the the the success of Charlie Kirk and why we're
seeing a mini revival take place among young men right now is because he went
into the public square in an area that the church had essentially abandoned for
so long in this area of politics. But politics now is like core identity. Who
am I? Like what what what am I? Like what is the meaning of life? You know
what is my core identity? Am I trans? Am I this? Am I homosexual? Am I that? And
the world is offering solutions to these that are hotly political issues. And
this is the place where Christians need to be championing the dignity and and
the humanity and the ontology of the human person. giving people a worldview
that is so much greater than this reductionistic kind of um nihilistic materialism that
is being pushed on upon them in college campuses now. This is the place the darkest places of
America where the church needs to engage and that yeah there's so we could talk
about that for a lot a long time but I want to I want to target something that you brought up earlier. So, I'm genuinely, and I'll tell this to the
audience, guys, I don't know the details here, okay? I don't know if if I'll even fully agree with whatever AJ says here.
I'm probably not qualified to weigh in yet. So, I but I want him to give him a chance as someone who knows more about
it than I do to just kind of talk about it. Um, the issue of the internal
disagreements that are inside the pro-life movement. Yeah. Um, now I'm aware that there's like the
abolitionist and there's different camps of abolitionists and I'm aware and I don't want to get too into the weeds on this because it's
just it's but one thing you brought up to me privately. We were talking is that there are some pro-life organizations
that will actively seek to stop legislation from being passed which would protect
kids in the womb, babies in the womb. Can you explain that to us? Yes. So, um, let me just briefly break
down the the the the definitions of these groups. Okay. The the far end, I would consider myself an abolitionist.
Uh, I want to abolish abortion. So, if that and I think it should be a crime for anybody who kills a child. So, if that makes me an abolitionist, sign me
up. I'm not married to the term. I'm not going to If that's all abolitionism is, I'm I'm signed up, too. 100%. Although, I know
there's people who use the term and they mean other things that I don't I don't hold. Yeah. So what they mean by that and they
wouldn't consider me an abolitionist is because I will I will accept incremental progress along the way provided it's
actually and truly the best we can get. So if I can get a heartbeat pass in heartbeat bill passed in California,
sign me up. I'm voting for it if that's truly the best we can do. Right. So me and you actually are on the same
page here. Yes. Yes. Um, so they would say no that if you vote for that heartbeat bill,
you're actually telling America that you can kill babies without heartbeats. And
I would say no, that's completely not true at all. The law is already doing
that because of the law in California. You can kill every single child up to the moment of birth. So what we're doing
is we're giving back the result the the um rights of children with heartbeats.
And we recognize that if we don't, all of the babies are going to be killed and legally have our open season on them.
So they they don't want they they would appeal to passages like in Isaiah,
woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees to rob the poor of my people from justice. Justice and only justice

The oral contraceptive pill can alter women's fear responses and mate preferences, based on recent studies.
Research from 2025 (e.g., Davignon et al.) shows that women currently on or who have ever used the pill often have exaggerated or persistent fear reactions even in safe contexts. This is linked to impaired safety-signal recognition in the brain, especially with higher-dose estrogen pills (≥30 µg ethinyl estradiol). Effects can linger after stopping, tied to reduced activity in areas like the hippocampus and ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Not every woman experiences this, but it offers a biological explanation for why some report heightened anxiety on or after the pill.
On attraction: The pill mimics a pregnancy-like state, shifting preferences away from masculine traits (strong jaw, deeper voice, genetic dissimilarity for better offspring immunity) toward more stable, nurturing types. Women on the pill may choose partners aligning with "good provider" vibes rather than peak "genetic fitness" cues.
If she stops the pill (e.g., to conceive), preferences can revert, leading to reduced sexual/relationship satisfaction in some cases—especially if the partner was chosen while on it and rates lower on conventional attractiveness/masculinity. Studies show women in this scenario sometimes feel less attracted to their partner, more drawn to alternatives (particularly during fertile phases), and report higher dissatisfaction or even separation risk. Congruency matters: consistent pill use (on or off) from relationship start predicts better outcomes.
Evidence is mixed—some larger recent studies (2024–2025) find no strong effect on masculinity preferences or real-world changes—but multiple replicated findings support potential shifts, often in sexual chemistry more than broad personality.
Individual responses vary hugely due to biology, relationship factors, and other side effects like libido changes or mood shifts.

Context Matters. Culture Matters.
In the ancient world, the sea was far more than a body of water—it was a realm of chaos, danger, and untamed power that no human could master. The Hebrew Scriptures repeatedly portray the sea as a force subdued only by God Himself, the sovereign Creator who alone stretches out the heavens and walks upon its waves. This divine imagery reaches a dramatic climax in the book of Job, where God’s unparalleled authority is celebrated in poetic terms. Centuries later, in the stormy darkness of the Sea of Galilee, a remarkable event unfolds that echoes this very language: Jesus of Nazareth walks across the turbulent waters toward His frightened disciples. For first-century Jews steeped in their sacred texts, this single act carried explosive theological weight, inviting them to confront a profound question—who is this man who does what only God can do?
"Who alone stretches out the heavens
And tramples down the waves of the sea;" Job 9:8 (NASB)
This verse in the book of Job describes God as the sovereign Creator who uniquely exercises dominion over creation, including the power to trample down the waves of the sea. In ancient biblical and Near Eastern thought, the sea often symbolized chaos, disorder, and uncontrollable forces—powers that only God could subdue and walk upon.
In the New Testament, Jesus performs this very act during a storm on the Sea of Galilee.
"And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, 'It is a ghost!' And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Matthew 14:25-27 (NASB)
The shared imagery is striking: both passages depict treading or walking on the waves of the sea, an act portrayed as extraordinary and beyond human capability.
Comparison of the Imagery
Shared element: Both depict someone treading/walking on the waves of the sea, an act portrayed as extraordinary and impossible for ordinary humans.
Key difference: Job 9:8 emphasizes that God alone does this as part of His cosmic authority (linked to stretching out the heavens). In Matthew (with parallels in Mark 6:45-52 and John 6:16-21), Jesus—a visible human figure—walks on the sea amid a storm, approaches His disciples, calms their fear, and (in the broader context) stills the wind.
Additional layers in the Gospels: Jesus' words “It is I” (Greek: egō eimi, literally “I am” the name of YHWH God) echo God's self-revelation in the Old Testament (e.g., Exodus 3:14), further aligning with God's authority over nature.
Implications for the Jews at That Time
For first-century Jews familiar with the Hebrew Scriptures (including Job), this miracle would have been profoundly striking. The sea represented chaos and powers that only Yahweh could subdue—no human prophet, king, or figure in the Old Testament ever walks on water as an expression of personal authority. By walking on the sea, Jesus enacts what Scripture reserves for God alone, implying He shares in Yahweh's divine power and identity. His words “It is I” amplify the claim. The disciples' initial terror (thinking He was a ghost/spirit) and their eventual worship/response (especially in Matthew 14:33: “You are certainly God's Son!”) reflect this recognition. In a strict monotheistic Jewish context, such an act would be seen as either blasphemous (if false) or a direct revelation of God's presence in human form (if true). It contributes to the escalating claims in the Gospels that led to accusations of blasphemy against Jesus.
Is It a Clear Statement?
It is not an explicit verbal declaration like “I am God,” but it is a clear, powerful enacted statement through action. The allusion to Job 9:8 (and related passages like Psalm 77:19) would have been recognizable to biblically literate Jews, making the miracle a vivid demonstration rather than mere spectacle. Scholars widely note this as an epiphany of Jesus' divine identity—Jesus does what only God does, implying He is God in human form. While not every observer might have made the connection instantly (as the disciples initially did not), the theological intent in the Gospel narratives is unmistakable: this is a revelation of who Jesus truly is.

Hineni Sh'lacheni
Here I am! Send me.
This phrase is one of the most powerful declarations of total surrender, availability, and obedience in the entire Bible.
Hineni (הִנְנִי) appears several times in key moments when God calls someone for a major task (e.g., Abraham in Genesis 22:1 before the binding of Isaac; Moses at the burning bush in Exodus 3:4; young Samuel in 1 Samuel 3).
• It is not a casual "I'm here" (like taking attendance).
• It is far deeper: a heroic, unconditional "I present myself fully," "I'm ready and listening," "I place myself at Your disposal"—often before knowing the cost or details of the mission.
• In prophetic and covenant contexts, it signals complete devotion, readiness to obey divine directives, even at great personal risk. Isaiah's use is especially striking because he volunteers without hesitation right after seeing God's holiness and confessing his own unworthiness (Isaiah 6:5). He essentially self-commissions in response to God's search for a messenger.
The full phrase הִנְנִי שְׁלָחֵנִי combines self-presentation (hineni) with an eager imperative (send me!), turning Isaiah from a mere observer of God's glory into an active participant in His mission. It has inspired countless sermons, songs, and personal commitments as a model of radical willingness to serve God.
"Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
'Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?'
Then I said,
'Here am I. Send me!'..." Isaiah 6:8
The Lord is calling.
Will you answer?

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible.
I know this already.
Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.
Remember this.
Freedom is a pure idea.
It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.
Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy.
There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause.
Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere.
And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
And then remember this:
The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural.
Tyranny requires constant effort.
It breaks, it leaks.
Authority is brittle.
It has to be constantly asserted, reasserted, reinforced.
Oppression is the mask of fear.
Remember that.
And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and the tide will have turned.
A small, bright light of hope will burn in the darkness, and it will spread like wildfire.
And when it does, remember this: try."
-Karis Nemik, Andor
#Liberty #Tyranny #Empire #Rebellion #Andor #StarWars
Every law imposed by rulers—including elected officials—that does not repeal a prior restriction reduces someone's freedom of action. Therefore, beyond minimal consensual or protective norms, individual liberty tends to shrink as the volume and coerciveness of centralized, ruler-enforced law (even democratically selected) increases.
