The following are satire videos which highlight “the alarming new trend of corporations like Disney, Amazon, and Starbucks providing abortion travel benefits while often cutting maternity benefits. The new incentives ensure women are back in their cubicles to make the corporation money in just a matter of days.” Here in Australia it is impossible to know how many babies are murdered via abortion each year!

The following is from an email received from THE UNSHACKLED https://www.theunshackled.net/?mc_cid=12b9957c94&mc_eid=6e30632a8a which is a website that is worth a look at!
‘A lot has transpired since our last newsletter. All the results of the Victorian state election have been declared. Premier Dan Andrews has retained his Labor Government’s strong majority in the Lower House for a third four-year term. In the Upper House we saw the demise of Fiona Patten and Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party and the rise of the Legalize Cannibas Party winning two seats and along with four Greens giving Dan Andrews a progressive working majority. It was not all bad news with the Teal candidates failing to win any seats and freedom parties the Democratic Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats, and One Nation each winning a seat in the Upper House.
Australia has been rocked by the shooting murder of two Queensland Police officers Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow by former teachers Gareth, Stacey and Nathaniel Train in the town of Wieambilla. Neighbor Alan Dare was also murdered by the trio. The Trains were killed by specialist police after a six-hour siege. Because the Trains were anti-police and believed in ‘conspiracy theories’ the media and anti-freedom activists are exploiting this tragedy to demand a government crackdown on those who hold anti-authoritarian views and opposed government tyranny during the pandemic.
Mainstream media journalists continue to lose their minds over the fact that Twitter owner Elon Musk has restored accounts that were banned for so-called covid misinformation and wants Dr Anthony Fauci prosecuted for being complicit in gain of function research in Wuhan. Several journalists have been suspended on Twitter for violating its doxxing policy for publishing real-time flight information about Elon Musk’s private jet.
We’ve seen the downfall of the two Democrat darling Sams. Sam Bankman Fried has finally been arrested in the Bahamas by US authorities charged with fraud over the collapse of his crypto exchange FTX. Gender fluid non-binary US Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Nuclear Energy Sam Brinton has been fired from the Biden Administration after being charged with stealing two women’s baggage from two different airports.

When Church of England schools promote this gender fluidity wokeness there is only one thing to do and that is GET YOUR CHILD OUT OF THERE in obedience to God and His Word! 2Corithians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you
‘A Church of England (CofE) primary school has justified secretly teaching 8-year-old children that they can be born in the wrong body and encouraged the idea that 3-year-old’s can declare themselves as ‘non-binary’ to their parents.
Parents, Calvin and Nicola Watts, who are being supported by the Christian Legal Centre, have been forced to remove their children from St Michael’s Church of England primary school in Tenterden, Kent, after discovering that their 8-year-old child and classmates were being given extreme teaching on gender identity.
Extreme teaching
Following parental complaints, however, the school, whose website states that it is ‘proud of its Christian values’ justified the teaching based on the CofE’s own guidance, ‘Valuing All God’s Children’. It also did not rule out showing similar content to children in future.
The family were alerted by other parents that a video of ‘It feels good to be yourself: a book about gender identity’, by Theresa Thorn, had been shown in class without their knowledge or consent.
The book read by Nana Ceecee promotes the idea of children being “both a boy and a girl”, or “neither a boy nor a girl”, or “non- binary”. It says that people “guess” about a baby’s gender when they are born. It also suggests that: “You might feel like your gender changes from day to day or from year to year.”
Below is that video from YouTube and surprise surprise there is NO CENSORING BY YOU TUBE of this child manipulation in the cesspool of sexual deviancy.
How could any church school that supposedly proclaims to be Christian promote such anti-God teaching? This should be enough for anyone connected with the Church of England to GET OUT as it won’t get better!
‘After just two and a half years in prison for gang rape, Afghan Mukthar N. is back out on the streets of Illerkirchberg, but this time he enjoys taxpayer-funded police protection. The fact that he is in Illerkirchberg is also notable, given it is on the outskirts of Ulm, a city that made national headlines recently after an Eritrean migrant murdered the 14-year-old girl Ece S.
Authorities say they are “concerned” for the gang rapist’s safety due to growing resentment in Illerkirchberg, which has a troubled asylum home where gang rapists and murderers have menaced the small community.
The police protection detail reportedly began on the same day of the funeral for Ece S.
The 29-year-old Mukthar N. was already supposed to have been deported, but due to intervention from left-wing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD), the man has been allowed to stay in Germany. The district continues to try to deport the sex offender, who drugged and raped a girl, also 14 years old at the time, with three other asylum seekers. The ordeal lasted for hours for the young girl.’https://rmx.news/crime/outrage-after-afghan-gang-rapist-given-police-protection-in-germany-interior-ministry-refuses-to-deport-him/
‘Social media giants have reportedly censored a speech by U.K. Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen in which he used parliamentary privilege to claim a senior member of the British Heart Foundation has covered up a report that shows the Covid-19 vaccine increases inflammation of the heart arteries.
Speaking in the House of Commons on Tuesday, the North West Leicestershire MP claimed he had been in contact with a whistleblower of a senior medical research center who holds a prominent role at the British Heart Foundation charity; this source told him that research showing a clear link between Covid-19 vaccines and harmful cardiac side effects had been deliberately suppressed over fears that research facilities would lose out on key funding from Big Pharma.
“It has been brought to my attention by a whistleblower from a very reliable source that one of these institutions is covering up clear data that reveals that the mRNA vaccine increased inflammation of the heart arteries,” Bridgen told colleagues.
“They are covering this up in fear that they may lose funding from the pharmaceutical industry,” he added.
“The leader of that cardiology research department has a prominent leadership role with the British Heart Foundation and I am very disappointed to say that he has sent out non-disclosure agreements to his research team to ensure that this important data never sees the light of day.
“This is an absolute disgrace. Systemic failure in an over-medicated population also contributes to huge waste of British taxpayers’ money and is an increasing strain on the NHS.”’https://rmx.news/uk/tiktok-removes-parliamentary-speech-of-uk-conservative-mp-alleging-big-pharma-cover-up-over-link-between-covid-19-vaccine-and-heart-complications/
‘When Noah left the ark, God gave him the promise that he would never flood the entire world again. This promise is used as evidence that Noah’s Flood was indeed a global flood, for there have been many local floods since that time. If Noah’s Flood was just a large local flood, then what did God’s promise mean? God keeps his word; there will never be another global flood.
But, there is another promise which God gave to Noah that has been overlooked, forgotten. God promised Noah in Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
In this time of paranoia over climate change, this is a promise that needs to be remembered. We can trust God to keep his word. God is the ultimate sustainer and provider. He has promised there will be cyclic seasons. Winter is his design, providing a cooling system for the earth that purifies the water and renews the soil.
God created winter by tilting the earth’s axis 23.5 degrees. Without a tilt, the entire earth would receive twelve hours of sunlight followed by twelve hours of darkness every twenty-four hours.
There would still be a temperature change depending on the distance from the equator. The polar regions would receive angled, not as intense, radiation from the sun and thereby stay cooler, while the equator would receive direct overhead radiation. It would be a gradient change without any extreme variations, so there would be no storms, strong wind, or snow. The equator would constantly be hot during the day and cool at night, while the poles would be cool but not freezing.
But, with the tilt, one pole is in total darkness while the other has total sunlight on a six-month rotating basis. Every year both poles experience winter followed by spring and summer, just as God promised. This polar summer sunlight is angled, not directly overhead, but it is constant without the cooling effect of night, so the heat gradually builds, and most of the ice and snow that accumulated over the winter melts by late summer.
Greenland, arctic sea ice, and Antarctica are the exceptions. Here the snow and ice accumulate over the years. Although there is some melting during the summer, as would be expected, most of it remains through the summer, only to be added to the following winter. Eight WWII planes that made an emergency landing in Greenland in July 1942 testify to just how quickly the ice can accumulate. Fifty years later, the planes were found buried under 260 feet of ice.
Interestingly, the 260 feet of ice consisted of thin layers, making it appear as if accumulation took place over thousands of years, not just 50.
In 1929, a world map was discovered in a Turkish palace. Drawn on gazelle skin and dated 1513, it shows the shoreline of Antarctica with detailed accuracy—a shoreline that today is hidden by ice. The map is the work of Piri Reis, a cartographer and admiral in the Turkish army. On the map, he documented the twenty earlier maps he had used when making this compilation. It would appear that since the flood, the ice on Antarctica has slowly accumulated until today the entire continent is buried under seven million cubic miles of ice.
But, there is no need to worry about melting ice causing the oceans to rise and earth’s coastline to flood. God has promised winter will follow summer. While ice melts at one pole, water freezes at the other. There is a balance in nature because God put it there.’https://thecreationclub.com/gods-promise-of-winter/
‘You have likely heard it said, or said it yourself, “Everywhere we look we see design.” Obviously, one would fully expect believers in biblical creation, and advocates of Intelligent Design, to attest to design in the creation—hence the many books and countless articles in magazines like Creation, journals, newspapers, and on the web, plus the plethora of videos on DVD and online.
Living things certainly look designed. Some people are surprised to learn that even well-known, militant atheists and evolutionists will admit this fact, as the following three cases illustrate. Let’s hear first from British biologist Richard Dawkins:
“Living things are not designed, but Darwinian natural selection licenses a version of the design stance for them. We get a short cut to understanding the heart if we assume that it is ‘designed’ to pump blood.”2
Director of The Skeptics Society (US) Michael Shermer agrees:
“The design inference comes naturally. The reason people think that a Designer created the world is because it looks designed.”3
So does American evolutionary biologist and Intelligent Design critic Jerry Coyne:
“If anything is true about nature, it is that plants and animals seem intricately and almost perfectly designed for living their lives.”4
In the above instances, Dawkins, Shermer, and Coyne had living organisms in mind. But on a cosmic scale, too, top scientists affirm design. Charles Townes (1915–2015), who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1964, unashamedly affirmed the universe was God-made:
“Intelligent design, as one sees it from the scientific point of view, seems to be quite real. This is a very special universe: it’s remarkable that it came out just this way. If the laws of physics weren’t just the way they are, we couldn’t be here at all. The sun couldn’t be there, the laws of gravity and nuclear laws and magnetic theory, quantum mechanics, and so on have to be just the way they are for us to be here.”5
So, to repeat, wherever we care to look we observe design. This being so, why is it that many people today seem unable (or unwilling) to accept the evidence of their eyes?
Design denial
Recall that Richard Dawkins actually admits that “a short cut to understanding” living things is gained by assuming that they are designed—even though he emphatically rejects that any designing intelligence was involved; and certainly not the God of the Bible. He is very insistent upon this point, but also inconsistent! And those who disagree with him—who believe instead that the Creator God is behind all the design we see—he calls deluded. Of course, not all atheists and sceptics go as far as Dawkins in their rhetoric. Nevertheless, an increasing number of people in our secular society are buying into the lie that design denial is synonymous with (even necessary for) scientific integrity. They are persuaded that design denial is an entirely sensible position.
‘Talk about design if you really must, but whatever you do, don’t bring God into the discussion.’ That, they claim, is bad science! I am reminded of the line from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”6 You can substitute “lady” with any spokesperson for the secular scientific establishment who claims that it is unscientific to follow the trail from designed things to the Designer—a claim that is contrary to the Bible (e.g. Romans 1:20). No, we really should follow where the scientific evidence leads us. We have nothing to fear from facts, only fact-denying dogma. Beware of those who say otherwise, whatever their credentials.
Anything that has the hallmarks of intimidation and propaganda should be treated as such. The following words are very apt, a fictional description of the ruling Party of the totalitarian state of Oceania, in George Orwell’s dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”7 Again, applying this to the evidence of design before our eyes, we say no. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck—it is most likely a duck. If something looks designed, and the assumption of design will actually help our understanding of it, it is special pleading to claim that the ‘science’ of Mother Nature, Lady Luck, and Father Time has made the Designer God redundant. In recent years, new scientific evidence has not been kind to the idea that unguided natural selection and genetic mutations over deep time produces sophisticated design (see ‘Evolution explains everything about life’).8
The Maker’s marks
The hallmarks of design are everywhere we care to look. In making the point that Jesus was far greater than Moses, one Bible writer wisely affirmed, “For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God” (Hebrews 3:4). This is not the place to delve further into that passage, but don’t miss the message: if the architect and construction workers are the ones who deserve the credit for an impressive house, the One who is “builder of all things” even more so.
When something “looks designed” (Shermer), even “perfectly designed” (Coyne), we do indeed get “a short cut to understanding” (Dawkins) if we acknowledge it to be so. Trying to avoid this leads to a sort of cognitive dissonance, a conflict between two contradictory ideas—as in, ‘it looks designed, let’s pretend it’s designed as it’ll help us understand it, but let’s be sure to keep telling ourselves it is not designed.’
In his most recent book, Return of the God Hypothesis (2021),9 Stephen Meyer reminds his readers that:
“… many of the founders of modern science did not just assume that the universe had been designed by an intelligent agent. They also argued for this hypothesis based on discoveries in their fields of study. Johannes Kepler … Robert Boyle … Carl Linnaeus. Many other individual scientists made specific design arguments based upon empirical discoveries in their fields.”10
These great scientists of the past, rather than denying the design that stared them in the face (and suffering cognitive dissonance), delighted in it! This was a vital factor in their fruitfulness as outstanding scientists.
‘Delighting in design’ is certainly true of the editorial team of CMI’s Creation magazine, as well as the many authors and graphic artists who contribute to each new issue. Consider subscribing if you don’t already receive it—read, learn, and share it with others.
Let us avoid the foolish mistake of ascribing greatness to the things that are made. Christians should also help friends, colleagues, and family members to avoid this pitfall. Instead, we must be sure to worship the Maker whose marks we have observed in His manufactured creatures—evidence for God’s Grand Design is all around us. Merely to delight in the created designs themselves, while robbing our Creator of the glory that is rightfully His, is sheer idolatry (see Romans 1:25).

Dan Andrews is the poster boy for incompetence and stupidity.
‘A Norwegian woman is under investigation by authorities in Norway and is facing criminal charges and possible prison time for saying that men cannot be lesbians.
If charged and convicted, artist Tonje Gjevjon, who is herself a lesbian, could face up to three years in prison.
On November 17, Gjevjon was told that she was being investigated by the police over allegations of “hate speech.”
She came under investigation over a Facebook post that criticized men who said they were lesbians.
Gjevjon has faced intense pushback for publicly standing up for women’s rights.
In her post, she also criticized transgender activists who try to prosecute women for refusing to comply with “woke” gender ideology.
“It’s just as impossible for men to become lesbian as it is for men to become pregnant,” Gjevjon wrote.
“Men are men regardless of their sexual fetishes.”
In the post, translated to English by Facebook, Gjevjon wrote, “men with fetishes have been protected as a vulnerable minority through the foolish and constructed concept of gender identity is koko. [sic]”
Gjevjon said she posted her Facebook message on purpose to bring attention to Norway’s hate speech law.
The law was changed in 2020 when the country’s parliament voted to outlaw speech against people who identify as transgender.
Gjevjon is also not the first to be confronted with charges over saying men cannot be lesbians or mothers.
Last year, Gjevjon asked Anette Trettebergstuen, a politician in the Labour Party, what she was going to do to safeguard the rights of women and girls.
She also asked if she thought that men could be lesbians.
“I believe it is absolutely necessary to place biological sex as the basis in all contexts where sex has legal, cultural, or practical relevance, and that equating sex with gender identity has harmful, discriminatory consequences for women and girls – especially lesbians,” Gjevjon said in her question.
“Will the Equality Minister take action to ensure that lesbian women’s human rights are safeguarded, by making it clear that there are no lesbians with penises, that males cannot be lesbians regardless of their gender identity, and by tidying up the mess of the harmful gender policies left behind by the previous government?” She asked.
Trettebergstuen replied, “I do not share an understanding of reality where the only two biological sexes are to be understood as sex.
“Gender identity is also important.”
Gjevjon has also described being pushed out of the art community over her views, even though she was a prominent member of the music and art establishment for over 15 years.
“I have stated that women are female, that lesbians do not have penises, that children should not be responsible for decisions they do not have the capacity to understand the scope of, and that no-platforming is harmful to democracy,” Gjevjon wrote in Klassekampen, a Norwegian outlet.
“For these opinions, I have been canceled several times.
“I was not prepared for the extent of how queer organizations, politicians, and activists would demonize a lesbian artist who was not in step.
“Trans activists contact people I work with, portraying me as hateful and warning against being associated with me,” she said.’
