Another case of social media censorship appears to have started just this morning , we just posted our incredible article and video on the Trump/Biden debate .

lifesitenews--2020-10-02--Trudeau govt resurrects bill criminalizing help for unwanted LGBT inclinations

DROP Disney+ : New teen film 'Out ' features openly homosexual main character !
Sign the petition here .
OTTAWA , Ontario , October 2 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Justin Trudeau ’ s Liberal government reintroduced a bill Thursday making it a crime punishable by five years in jail to help minors overcome same-sex attraction or gender confusion , or to remove them from Canada to seek such help .
Justice minister David Lametti tabled Bill C-6 , “ An Act to amend the Criminal Code ( conversion therapy ) , ” on October 1 .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which died when Trudeau prorogued Parliament in August in the wake of the WE Charity funding scandal .
Bill C-6 adds five offenses to the Criminal Code : causing a minor — defined as under age 18 — to undergo conversion therapy ; removing a minor from Canada to undergo conversion therapy abroad ; causing a person to undergo conversion therapy against his will ; profiting from providing conversion therapy ; and advertising an offer to provide conversion therapy .
The first three offenses are punishable by up to five years in prison @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two years in prison .
The bill defines “ conversion therapy ” as any “ practice , treatment or service designed to change a person ’ s sexual orientation to heterosexual or gender identity to cisgender , or to repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour.
” “ Cisgender ” is a term LGBT activists use to describe people who acknowledge and accept their biological sex .
It ’ s opposite — for people who deny their sex and insist on a different one — is “ transgender.
” It adds : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does not include a practice , treatment or service that relates to a person ’ s gender transition ; or to a person ’ s exploration of their identity or to its development.
” “ These amendments are the same as those proposed by Bill C-8 in the previous parliamentary session , ” according to a Liberal press statement .
“ If passed , this bill will make Canada ’ s laws on conversion therapy the most progressive and comprehensive in the world.
” The government appears to be downplaying the scope and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ haven ’ t made it a crime for Canadians to express their views on homosexuality or transgenderism , Lametti told reporters , as reported by CTV News .
“ The bill does not put an end to conversations youth and individuals may have with supportive adults and professionals in their lives in assisting them in exploring their identity .
These discussions are often critical to personal development , ” he added .
“ Nor would the proposed offences criminalize conversations where personal points of view on sexual orientation or gender identity are expressed.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the “ new offences would not apply to those who provide support to persons questioning their sexual orientation , sexual feelings or gender identity ( such as teachers , school counsellors , pastoral counsellors , faith leaders , doctors , mental health professionals , friends or family members ) .
” But Jack Fonseca , director of political operations for Campaign Life Coalition , warned concerned Canadians to pay no heed to these words .
Rather , they should look at the text of the bill itself .
The Liberals ’ assurance that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teachers , counselors , faith leaders , doctors , mental health professionals , friends , or family members who “ provide support to persons questioning their sexual orientation , sexual feelings or gender identity ” is misleading to the point of mendacity , he said .
“ This is an exercise in smoke and mirrors to pre-empt a massive uprising by parents and spiritual leaders across the country , ” Fonseca told LifeSiteNews .
“ There are no protections whatsoever in Bill C-6 for parents or pastors who , for example , discourage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and try to help them be at peace with the body in which they were born , ” he said .
If C-6 is passed , “ loving moms and dads will end up in prison , ” and it will be “ illegal for the Church to carry out its sacred mission of evangelizing sinners and calling them to conversion in Christ , ” he warned .
Gwen Landolt of REAL Women slammed Bill C-6 as “ disgraceful ” and agreed that it provides no protection to parents , pastors , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gender “ transition ” or will to affirm their homosexuality .
“ The whole thing is truly a wicked piece of legislation based only on ideology and the Liberals trying to promote themselves with the LGBTQ community , ” she told LifeSiteNews .
“ It ’ s fundamentally an attack on the integrity of the human being , ” added Landolt .
“ Someone who is 16 , 15 , 14 , they need to be helped , not channelled ” into accepting homosexuality or transgenderism .
Moreover , the Liberals are “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , disgusting thing , but it ’ s not what they ’ re pretending , ” she said .
That was echoed by Fonseca , who noted that “ what ’ s disingenuously being labelled as ‘ conversion therapy ’ ” is “ really just pastoral counselling or traditional psychotherapy.
” Conservative Party leader Erin O ’ Toole said he supports a ban on conversion therapy but fears that Bill C-6 will criminalize discussions around same-sex inclinations or gender confusion between minors and their parents , pastors , counselors , and teachers .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the bill at an upcoming caucus meeting , reported the Toronto Star .
Both REAL Women and Campaign Life emphasize that the bill is irredeemable and must be scrapped .
Fonseca urged pro-family Canadians to mobilize to defeat the bill .
“ I say to every parent , priest , pastor and conscientious therapist across this country : you need to rise up now , en masse , while you still can , and flood your Member of Parliament ’ s office with opposition to Bill C-6 , by phone , email @ @ @ @ @ @ @ For M.P .

The government appears to be downplaying the scope and breadth of the legislation, but pro-family experts in Canada are sounding alarm bells.

OTTAWA, Ontario, October 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government reintroduced a bill Thursday making it a crime punishable by five years in jail to help minors overcome same-sex attraction or gender confusion, or to remove them from Canada to seek such help.
Justice minister David Lametti tabled Bill C-6, “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (conversion therapy),” on October 1.
It’s identical to the controversial C-8, which died when Trudeau prorogued Parliament in August in the wake of the WE Charity funding scandal.
Bill C-6 adds five offenses to the Criminal Code: causing a minor — defined as under age 18 — to undergo conversion therapy; removing a minor from Canada to undergo conversion therapy abroad; causing a person to undergo conversion therapy against his will; profiting from providing conversion therapy; and advertising an offer to provide conversion therapy.
The first three offenses are punishable by up to five years in prison, the last two by up to two years in prison.
The bill defines “conversion therapy” as any “practice, treatment or service designed to change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual or gender identity to cisgender, or to repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour.”
“Cisgender” is a term LGBT activists use to describe people who acknowledge and accept their biological sex. It’s opposite — for people who deny their sex and insist on a different one — is “transgender.”
It adds: “For greater certainty, this definition does not include a practice, treatment or service that relates to a person’s gender transition; or to a person’s exploration of their identity or to its development.”
“These amendments are the same as those proposed by Bill C-8 in the previous parliamentary session,” according to a Liberal press statement.
“If passed, this bill will make Canada’s laws on conversion therapy the most progressive and comprehensive in the world.”
The government appears to be downplaying the scope and breadth of the legislation.
The Liberals haven’t made it a crime for Canadians to express their views on homosexuality or transgenderism, Lametti told reporters, as reported by CTV News.
“The bill does not put an end to conversations youth and individuals may have with supportive adults and professionals in their lives in assisting them in exploring their identity. These discussions are often critical to personal development,” he added.
“Nor would the proposed offences criminalize conversations where personal points of view on sexual orientation or gender identity are expressed.”
The Liberal press release likewise asserted the “new offences would not apply to those who provide support to persons questioning their sexual orientation, sexual feelings or gender identity (such as teachers, school counsellors, pastoral counsellors, faith leaders, doctors, mental health professionals, friends or family members).”
But Jack Fonseca, director of political operations for Campaign Life Coalition, warned concerned Canadians to pay no heed to these words. Rather, they should look at the text of the bill itself.
The Liberals’ assurance that the bill won’t apply to teachers, counselors, faith leaders, doctors, mental health professionals, friends, or family members who “provide support to persons questioning their sexual orientation, sexual feelings or gender identity” is misleading to the point of mendacity, he said.
“This is an exercise in smoke and mirrors to pre-empt a massive uprising by parents and spiritual leaders across the country,” Fonseca told LifeSiteNews.
“There are no protections whatsoever in Bill C-6 for parents or pastors who, for example, discourage a gender-confused child from identifying as transgender and try to help them be at peace with the body in which they were born,” he said.
If C-6 is passed, “loving moms and dads will end up in prison,” and it will be “illegal for the Church to carry out its sacred mission of evangelizing sinners and calling them to conversion in Christ,” he warned.
Gwen Landolt of REAL Women slammed Bill C-6 as “disgraceful” and agreed that it provides no protection to parents, pastors, or counselors who during a discussion oppose a gender “transition” or will to affirm their homosexuality.
“The whole thing is truly a wicked piece of legislation based only on ideology and the Liberals trying to promote themselves with the LGBTQ community,” she told LifeSiteNews.
“It’s fundamentally an attack on the integrity of the human being,” added Landolt.
“Someone who is 16, 15, 14, they need to be helped, not channelled” into accepting homosexuality or transgenderism.
Moreover, the Liberals are “trying to make conversion therapy a terrible, disgusting thing, but it’s not what they’re pretending,” she said.
That was echoed by Fonseca, who noted that “what’s disingenuously being labelled as ‘conversion therapy’” is “really just pastoral counselling or traditional psychotherapy.”
Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole said he supports a ban on conversion therapy but fears that Bill C-6 will criminalize discussions around same-sex inclinations or gender confusion between minors and their parents, pastors, counselors, and teachers.
The Conservatives will be discussing possible amendments to the bill at an upcoming caucus meeting, reported the Toronto Star.
Both REAL Women and Campaign Life emphasize that the bill is irredeemable and must be scrapped. Fonseca urged pro-family Canadians to mobilize to defeat the bill.
“I say to every parent, priest, pastor and conscientious therapist across this country: you need to rise up now, en masse, while you still can, and flood your Member of Parliament’s office with opposition to Bill C-6, by phone, email, twitter, mail and in-person.”

lifesitenews--2020-10-02--Experts insist USA’s porn epidemic has spread to women, must be addressed

PETITION : Authorities must shut down Pornhub after showing videos of 15-year-old trafficking victim !
Sign the petition here .
October 2 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A few short years ago , porn use was considered to be a primarily male problem .
The statistics bore this out : Men looked at pornography at far higher rates than women , and even Playgirl magazine was purchased primarily by gay men .
Because men and women are wired differently , they responded to smut differently .
But as digital porn with 24-7 availability has swept the culture , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ago , the percentage of women regularly using porn spiked to over 50 % .
One former female porn-user told me she suspects that the number is substantially higher than that .
One recent study indicated that 73 % of women between the ages of 18 and 35 used pornography in the previous six months , with 26 % using in the previous week .
In an online survey conducted last year of women between the ages of 18 and 29 , 14 % admitted to watching porn several times a week ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ once a week , and 20 % confessed that they were worried they watched pornography too often .
For this reason , the anti-porn software company Covenant Eyes is hosting the SHE Virtual Recovery Summit ( SHE : Support .
Heal .
Empower . )
on October 5–9 , featuring over thirty experts and storytellers to assist female porn addicts in achieving freedom and recovery .
One of the speakers , Crystal Renaud Day , told me that a discussion on this subject is desperately needed .
“ Women are more drawn to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that triggers more of an emotional response , ” she explained .
However , as addiction increases , so does one ’ s sexual appetite .
While a woman might begin her addiction with erotic fiction and lead into more emotionally based porn , addiction escalates , and women will soon find themselves looking at more hardcore pornography.
” These days , Day says , porn is ubiquitous , and many young women are getting addicted to the material widely available to their generation .
“ There are many women who skip the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hardcore pornography , ” Day told me .
“ These women tend to be younger , Millennial to Gen Z .
While older generations of women were drawn to erotica , younger generations of women are drawn immediately to hardcore pornography .
The most important thing we can do when having these conversations is to not put women into a box of expectation , because those expectations will almost always be met with outliers and unique circumstances.
” Karen Potter , the director of Church & Ministry Outreach for Covenant Eyes , agrees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she noted , shows that 33 % of women view porn at least once a month , and “ we believe that number is seriously under-reported.
” Young women , she told me , are growing up in a world that is nothing like that of their parents .
“ Females are being inundated with an over-sexualized culture from the moment they are old enough to be online , and this is shaping their perception of the world , from Instagram to Snapchat and everything in between .
It is essential that parents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are exposed to pornography , where exposure is happening , and how they can begin preparing children for when they see pornography .
It is no longer a question of if a child will see porn ; it is when.
” “ Our young girls are growing up in a pornified culture where as many as 95 % of boys will have viewed pornography before they graduate high school , ” Potter explained .
“ This has altered the way boys and girls are relating to one another .
It is shaping the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a variety of reasons , many times out of curiosity around sex and seeking to better understand the culture , a culture that says your power and your value is directly tied to your sex appeal .
From Netflix to music , YouTube to videogames , young ladies are being fed a lie .
Parents have to take every step necessary to start conversations with their children from a young age and continue those conversations throughout their childhood .
The female struggler carries the weight of shame and guilt , especially when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been a subject almost totally ignored in Christian circles , and Covenant Eyes is seeking to step into that void to equip and prepare parents and church leaders .
“ Here at Covenant Eyes we are dedicated to helping equip parents for these tough conversations and resourcing them with tools to help take this battle on , ” Potter told me .
“ In addition , the church has a huge role to play in this .
When people are seeking answers , specifically Christians , they tend to look to their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We need leaders equipped , educated and ready to help females who step forward with their struggles .
They need to be armed with resources , tools , and information .
Covenant Eyes has a team of Church Consultants who are able to connect churches with the best in class resources , educational opportunities like the She Summit , monthly Pastor Educational Webinars and much more.
” It is just a start — but a much needed one .
Jonathon ’ s new podcast , The Van Maren Show , is dedicated to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pro-family movement .
In his latest episode , Marjorie Dannenfelser from the Susan B. Anthony List tells Van Maren that this election is crucial for the pro-life movement .

(LifeSiteNews) — In response to the crisis unfolding in our world and in the Church, LifeSite is happy to promote Regina Angelorum Press’s Daily Rosary, which is offering Catholics throughout the world the chance to be united daily in prayer, in the Our Lady of Fatima Rosary Crusade.
Catholics from all over the world — from Israel, Uganda, Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, Pakistan, Singapore, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and other countries — are gathering daily to pray the Rosary, led by Father Pillari, JCL, MCL, STL, an American priest currently studying in Italy.
The Daily Rosary is being offered each day at 12noon EST through Regina Angelorum Press’ YouTube Channel to which you can subscribe HERE.
The goal is, by means of this Daily Rosary and by embracing and living out the message given by the Virgin Mary at Fatima, the triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart.
To help obtain that goal, Bishop Athanasius Schneider graciously composed the following prayer for this worldwide Rosary crusade:
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, you are the holy Mother of God and our tender Mother. Look upon the distress in which the Church and the whole of humanity are living because of the spread of materialism and the persecution of the Church. In Fatima you warned against these errors, as you spoke about the errors of Russia. You are the Mediatrix of all graces. Implore your Divine Son to grant this special grace for the Pope: that he might consecrate Russia to your Immaculate Heart, so that Russia will be converted, a period of peace will be granted to the world, and your Immaculate Heart will triumph, through an authentic renewal of the Church in the splendor of the purity of the Catholic Faith, of the sacredness of Divine worship and of the holiness of the Christian life. O Queen of the holy Rosary and our sweet Mother, turn your merciful eyes to us and graciously hear this our trusting prayer. Amen. + Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of the archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana
To learn more about the urgency of responding to Our Lady’s message at Fatima, and about what you can do, please read Cardinal Burke’s 2017 address at the Rome Life Forum.
As St. Padre Pio once said, “The Rosary is the weapon for these times.” Through prayer, God can shape history, change the world, and bring about a great time of renewal and peace for the Church and for the world, through the triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart. Join us today!
If you would like to follow along with the prayers said during this Rosary, you can access them HERE. The document also includes a brief F.A.Q. pertaining to the daily Rosary.

lifesitenews--2020-10-02--Fact check: Joe Biden hurled more insults than President Trump at first debate

October 2 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – The conventional wisdom among not a few elite Republicans has always been that Trump 's personality , his Tweets , his overall bad manners are his greatest weakness .
If only he could control his Twitter outbursts .
If only he were n't so rude during his press conferences .
As for his debate performance , if you were expecting Trump to be presidential , forget about it .
Most in the mainstream media love to demean President Trump ’ s raucous debating style as unsophisticated , as someone who constantly interrupts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden ’ s 2012 Vice-Presidential debate against the polite and articulate Paul Ryan , where Joe Biden mocked and interrupted the Republican candidate throughout the debate .
See this video compilation of “ interrupting Joe ” during the 2012 VP debate where he interrupted Ryan 85 times during the 90-minute debate .
And yet , in that occasion , the NY Times echoed the general tone of the main stream media which referred to Biden ’ s debate antics as “ a spirited airing of sharp contrasts.
” Fast forward to 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ryan .
The people elected him in 2016 in large part because he was willing to punch back against leftist politicians like Joe Biden and his allies in the media .
The only question is why are mainstream Republicans attacking the president for not allowing himself to be mocked , interrupted , and cornered by Joe Biden like Paul Ryan was in 2012 ?
Instead of attacking Joe Biden for starting the interruptions , using foul language , and uttering repeated personal insults at the sitting president of the United States .
Amazingly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the President 's performance by remarking that `` everything he said sounded like heckling . ''
On the pages of the Wall Street Journal opinion section , Karl Rove sounded off , noting that the president came across as `` rude '' .
The premier Never Trump spokesperson and right-wing champion of Drag Queen Story Hours , David French , Tweeted that the debate was `` the apex of Trumpism and Trumpism is bullyism . ''
I am personally not a fan of the Jerry Springer show .
I do n't like to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do n't enjoy insults .
It is not surprising that I did n't enjoy the first presidential debate .
But who was at fault for the tone and manner of the debate ?
Most , including some elitist Republicans , would say it was the President 's fault .
But when I thought about it , I remembered that it was Biden who first interrupted the president .
It was Biden who told the commander in chief to “ shut up ” and called him a “ fool.
” I decided to spend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the number of times the candidates insulted each other or used foul language , including using the name of the Lord in vain .
The results truly surprised me .
I agree with Ben Shapiro 's assessment that it was not clear who won the debate .
After looking at the transcript , however , it became absolutely clear who won the insult contest .
In fact , it was n't even a contest .
Joe Biden insulted Donald Trump or used foul language 26 times to Donald Trump 's 7 .
Watch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decide for yourself .

Mainstream pundits seemed to think President Trump lost the first debate. But a quick-fact check reveals that it was Joe Biden who lobbed more insults, and that he even used the Lord's name in vain during the event.
October 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The conventional wisdom among not a few elite Republicans has always been that Trump's personality, his Tweets, his overall bad manners are his greatest weakness. If only he could control his Twitter outbursts. If only he weren't so rude during his press conferences.
As for his debate performance, if you were expecting Trump to be presidential, forget about it.
Most in the mainstream media love to demean President Trump’s raucous debating style as unsophisticated, as someone who constantly interrupts. Many, however, still remember Joe Biden’s 2012 Vice-Presidential debate against the polite and articulate Paul Ryan, where Joe Biden mocked and interrupted the Republican candidate throughout the debate. See this video compilation of “interrupting Joe” during the 2012 VP debate where he interrupted Ryan 85 times during the 90-minute debate. And yet, in that occasion, the NY Times echoed the general tone of the main stream media which referred to Biden’s debate antics as “a spirited airing of sharp contrasts.”
Fast forward to 2020. Clearly, Trump is no Paul Ryan. The people elected him in 2016 in large part because he was willing to punch back against leftist politicians like Joe Biden and his allies in the media. The only question is why are mainstream Republicans attacking the president for not allowing himself to be mocked, interrupted, and cornered by Joe Biden like Paul Ryan was in 2012? Instead of attacking Joe Biden for starting the interruptions, using foul language, and uttering repeated personal insults at the sitting president of the United States.
URGENT PETITION: Tell the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade! Sign the petition here.
Amazingly, National Review's Kyle Smith described the President's performance by remarking that “everything he said sounded like heckling.” On the pages of the Wall Street Journal opinion section, Karl Rove sounded off, noting that the president came across as “rude”. The premier Never Trump spokesperson and right-wing champion of Drag Queen Story Hours, David French, Tweeted that the debate was “the apex of Trumpism and Trumpism is bullyism.”
I am personally not a fan of the Jerry Springer show. I don't like to watch people attack each other and I don't enjoy insults. It is not surprising that I didn't enjoy the first presidential debate. But who was at fault for the tone and manner of the debate? Most, including some elitist Republicans, would say it was the President's fault. But when I thought about it, I remembered that it was Biden who first interrupted the president. It was Biden who told the commander in chief to “shut up” and called him a “fool.”
I decided to spend this morning reading through the transcripts counting the number of times the candidates insulted each other or used foul language, including using the name of the Lord in vain. The results truly surprised me.
I agree with Ben Shapiro's assessment that it was not clear who won the debate. After looking at the transcript, however, it became absolutely clear who won the insult contest. In fact, it wasn't even a contest. Joe Biden insulted Donald Trump or used foul language 26 times to Donald Trump's 7. Watch the video compilation of the insults and decide for yourself.

lifesitenews--2020-10-03--Former Twitter CEO: When capitalists are ‘lined up…shot’, I’ll happily provide commentary

October 2 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo stated in a since deleted tweet on Wednesday that “ [ m ] e-first capitalists who think you can separate society from business are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution.
” Costolo added that he ’ ll “ happily provide video commentary.
” Costolo is known for supporting social media platforms ’ censorship efforts .
Twitter ’ s policies state , “ You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The social media giant defines “ violent threats as statements of an intent to kill or inflict serious physical harm on a specific person or group of people.
” The tweet apparently was removed not by Twitter , but by Costolo himself .
Costolo criticized Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong for his decision to leave politics and social activism out of the company ’ s mission .
“ It has become common for Silicon Valley companies to engage in a wide variety of social activism , even those unrelated to what the company does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really want this in the company they work for , ” Armstrong wrote .
“ So why have we decided to take a different approach ?
” “ The reason is that while I think these efforts are well intentioned , they have the potential to destroy a lot of value at most companies , both by being a distraction , and by creating internal division , ” he explained .
“ We ’ ve seen what internal strife at companies like Google and Facebook can do to productivity , and there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own challenges here.
” “ I believe most employees don ’ t want to work in these divisive environments , ” he continued .
They want to work on a winning team that is united and making progress toward an important mission .
They want to be respected at work , have a welcoming environment where they can contribute , and have growth opportunities .
They want the workplace to be a refuge from the division that is increasingly present in the world.
” Armstrong argued that precisely because he wants Coinbase , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be inclusive , the company as a whole should stay out of social activism and politics .
“ We have people with many different backgrounds and viewpoints at Coinbase , and even if we all agree that something is a problem , we may not agree on how to actually go solve it , ” he wrote .
“ This is where there is a blurry line between moral statements and politics .
We could use our work day debating what to do about various unrelated challenges in the world , but that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ company or our own interests as employees and shareholders.
” Dick Costolo , who worked as Twitter ’ s CEO from 2010 until 2015 , manifestly disagreed .
“ This is n't great leadership , ” he tweeted .
“ It ’ s the abdication of leadership .
It ’ s the equivalent of telling your employees to ‘ shut up and dribble.
’ ” “ Tech companies used to welcome lively debate about ideas and society .
It was part of the social contract inside the company , and it 's what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wells Fargo culture .
Now it ’ s considered a distraction , ” he continued .
“ Abandoning the social contract with employees in favor of a purely economic contract in the guise of ‘ championship team ’ bs [ sic ] makes you a bank with a mission nobody really believes .

” As reported by Crain ’ s Detroit Business in September , Costolo approved of social media platforms engaging in more aggressive censorship of unwanted content @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what can and can ’ t be on the platform because you take down criminal behavior , you take down people … selling Nazi paraphernalia in Germany , you take that down , ” he pointed out .
“ So to say , ‘ hey , we ’ re just a platform , we ’ re not here to determine what ’ s … right and what ’ s wrong or what ’ s true and what ’ s false.
’ It ’ s just nonsense .
They already do.
” Meanwhile , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aimed at reining in social media platforms ’ censorship of lawful speech .
A draft legislative text to reform Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act was sent to Congress in September .
Section 230 , as it currently stands , immunizes websites from being held liable for the third-party content they host , such as posts or tweets by social media users .
This provision has been credited with helping the internet thrive , and in recent years , it has been seen as a potential means of addressing the increasing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speech .
“ The current interpretations of Section 230 have enabled online platforms to hide behind the immunity to censor lawful speech in bad faith and is inconsistent with their own terms of service , ” the DOJ explained in a press release .

lifesitenews--2020-10-03--Jim Caviezel: Christian way of living will soon be gone, prepare for massive persecutions

October 2 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Actor Jim Caviezel stated in a recent interview that Christians should be at war with secular extremists , declaring that this is “ a war that needs to be fought and must be won.
” “ No one has ever rode to victory on the back of fake moral platitudes .
We have to speak the truth boldly , ” Caviezel told My Faith Votes ’ Megan West .
Caviezel asserted that slavery and suffering have been the lot of God ’ s people throughout much of history and said we don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been to live in a society where religious liberty has prevailed , though it now hangs precariously in the balance .
“ You ’ ll wish that you never even knew what democracy was .
This Christian way of living will soon be gone , ” said Caviezel .
“ We ’ re talking about massive , massive persecutions.
” The actor who famously portrayed Jesus Christ in the blockbuster movie The Passion of the Christ said that while the Bible recounts the murders of infants by Pharaoh and the murder of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out the voices of Moses and Jesus , through legalized abortion , “ we have murdered on a level that is unprecedented.
” He noted that women are now allowed to kill their babies after they ’ re born in New York and Virginia .
Caviezel went on to deliver from memory a powerful recitation of the climax of Ronald Reagan ’ s 1964 “ Rendezvous with Destiny ” speech .
The actor paraphrased a few lines to more accurately describe the battle we are now in , zeroing in on the twin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the choking of religious liberty : There is not a man alive who would carelessly send another person ’ s son to war , and that is the real issue with this campaign , that makes all other problems I ’ ve discussed academic , unless we realize we 're in a war that must be won .
Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory .
They call their policy `` accommodation .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ only avoid any direct confrontation with this enemy , he 'll forget his evil ways and learn to love us .
All of those who oppose them are indicted as warmongers .
They say we offer simple answers to complex problems .
And yet they have the nerve to call it “ Choice.
” Well , perhaps there is a simple answer -- not an easy answer -- but a simple one : That you and I would have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is morally right .
Ladies and gentleman , we can not buy our security of ‘ One nation under God , ’ our freedoms in Christ our Saviour from the threat of the devil any longer .
By committing and act of immorality so great , that saying to millions and millions of little children , now caught behind the iron curtain of sex trafficking and abortion , “ Give up your dreams of freedom now because in order to save our own skins , we ’ re just too willing to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And Alexander Hamilton said that any “ nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master , and deserves one . ''
“ Now let 's set the record straight .
There 's no argument over the choice between peace and war , but there 's only one guaranteed way you can have peace -- and you can have it in the next second -- surrender .
Admittedly , there 's a risk in any course we follow other than this , but every lesson in history tells us that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face -- that their policy of accommodation is appeasement , and it gives no choice between peace and war , only between fight or surrender .
If we continue to accommodate , continue to back and retreat , eventually we have to face the final demand -- the final ultimatum .
And what then ?
-- when Nikita Khrushchev satan has told his people the people of this world , he knows what our answer will be ?
He has told them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of his Cold War , and someday when the time is right to deliver his final ultimatum , our surrender will be voluntary , because you see by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually , morally , and economically .
He believes this because from our side he 's heard voices pleading for `` peace at any price '' or `` better Red than dead , '' or as one commentator put it , he 'd rather `` live on his knees than die on his feet . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , because those voices do n't speak for the rest of us .
You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery .
If nothing in life is worth dying for , when did this begin -- just in the face of this enemy ?
Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs ?
Should Christ have refused the cross ?
Should the patriots at Concord @ @ @ @ @ @ @ refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world ?
The martyrs of history were not fools , and our beloved dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis did n't die in vain .
Where , then , is the road to peace ?
Well it 's a simple answer after all .
That you and I have the courage to say to our enemies , `` There is a price we will not pay . ''
`` There is a point beyond which they must not advance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our Lord ’ s Scriptures as well : To be holy in heart , mind , body , and soul which backs our country ’ s Constitution , that all men are created equal , not born equal .
Winston Churchill said , `` The destiny of man is not measured by material computations .
When great forces are on the move throughout the world , we learn we are spirits -- not animals . ''
And he said , `` There 's something going on in time and space , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether we like it or not , spells duty . ''
My fellow Americans , you and I have a rendezvous with destiny .
We 'll preserve for our children this , the last best hope of man on earth , or we 'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness .
We ’ re at war now with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind from its long climb from the swamp to the stars .
And it ’ s been said that if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so doing lose this great way of freedom of ours , history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent it from happening .
Well I think it ’ s high time now we ask ourselves if we still even know the freedoms that were intended for us by our founding fathers .
Every generation of Americans needs to know that freedom exists not to do what you like , but having the right to do what you ought .
My brothers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this corrupt generation .
Be saints .

You were born to stand out .

Caviezel asserted that slavery and suffering have been the lot of God’s people throughout much of history and said we don’t fully appreciate how blessed we have been to live in a society where religious liberty has prevailed, though it now hangs precariously in the balance.
“You’ll wish that you never even knew what democracy was. This Christian way of living will soon be gone,” said Caviezel. “We’re talking about massive, massive persecutions.”
The actor who famously portrayed Jesus Christ in the blockbuster movie The Passion of the Christ said that while the Bible recounts the murders of infants by Pharaoh and the murder of the Holy Innocents in order to snuff out the voices of Moses and Jesus, through legalized abortion, “we have murdered on a level that is unprecedented.”
He noted that women are now allowed to kill their babies after they’re born in New York and Virginia.
“This is Luciferian,” he declared.
Rendezvous with Destiny
Caviezel went on to deliver from memory a powerful recitation of the climax of Ronald Reagan’s 1964 “Rendezvous with Destiny” speech. The actor paraphrased a few lines to more accurately describe the battle we are now in, zeroing in on the twin evils of our day: abortion and the choking of religious liberty:
There is not a man alive who would carelessly send another person’s son to war, and that is the real issue with this campaign, that makes all other problems I’ve discussed academic, unless we realize we're in a war that must be won.
Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy “accommodation.” And they say if we'll only avoid any direct confrontation with this enemy, he'll forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All of those who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. And yet they have the nerve to call it “Choice.”
Well, perhaps there is a simple answer — not an easy answer — but a simple one: That you and I would have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based on what we know in our hearts is morally right.
Ladies and gentleman, we cannot buy our security of ‘One nation under God,’ our freedoms in Christ our Saviour from the threat of the devil any longer. By committing and act of immorality so great, that saying to millions and millions of little children, now caught behind the iron curtain of sex trafficking and abortion, “Give up your dreams of freedom now because in order to save our own skins, we’re just too willing to make a deal with you slave masters.
And Alexander Hamilton said that any “nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.”

He believes this because from our side he's heard voices pleading for “peace at any price” or “better Red than dead,” or as one commentator put it, he'd rather “live on his knees than die on his feet.” And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us.

Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our beloved dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it's a simple answer after all.
That you and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” “There is a point beyond which they must not advance.” And this is the meaning of our Lord’s Scriptures as well: To be holy in heart, mind, body, and soul which backs our country’s Constitution, that all men are created equal, not born equal.
Winston Churchill said, “The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move throughout the world, we learn we are spirits — not animals.” And he said, “There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”
My fellow Americans, you and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.
We’re at war now with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind from its long climb from the swamp to the stars. And it’s been said that if we lose this war, and in so doing lose this great way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent it from happening.
Well I think it’s high time now we ask ourselves if we still even know the freedoms that were intended for us by our founding fathers. Every generation of Americans needs to know that freedom exists not to do what you like, but having the right to do what you ought.
My brothers and sisters, set yourselves apart from this corrupt generation. Be saints. You were not made to fit in. You were born to stand out. And in the words of Ronald Reagan, ‘Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.
God bless you, and God bless America.

lifesitenews--2020-10-03--Canadian hospital staff caught on film insulting indigenous 37-year-old mom hours before she died

MONTREAL , Quebec , October 2 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — The death of a 37-year-old indigenous woman and mother of seven in a Quebec hospital where staff mocked her with what many say were racially motivated insults has sparked public outrage over systemic racism in Canada and calls for a criminal investigation .
Joyce Echaquan of the Atikamekw community of Manawan live-streamed on Facebook a September 28 video that records her panting , groaning , and screaming while a nurse and an orderly can be heard speaking to her in French , reported the Toronto Globe and Mail @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hell , ” and another says : “ She ’ s good at screwing , more than anything else .
And we ’ re paying for this , ” it reported .

'You made some bad choices, my dear,' the first employee is heard saying in the seven-minute video.
MONTREAL, Quebec, October 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — The death of a 37-year-old indigenous woman and mother of seven in a Quebec hospital where staff mocked her with what many say were racially motivated insults has sparked public outrage over systemic racism in Canada and calls for a criminal investigation.
Joyce Echaquan of the Atikamekw community of Manawan live-streamed on Facebook a September 28 video that records her panting, groaning, and screaming while a nurse and an orderly can be heard speaking to her in French, reported the Toronto Globe and Mail.
One calls her “stupid as hell,” and another says: “She’s good at screwing, more than anything else. And we’re paying for this,” it reported.
“You made some bad choices, my dear,” the first employee is heard saying in the seven-minute video, which was published by Journal Métro and circulated widely on the internet. “What are your children going to think, seeing you like this, eh?”
Echaquan’s death sparked an outcry and vigil in Manawan, a community 155 miles north of Montreal; a vigil outside the hospital in Joliette, about 30 miles north of Montreal, where she died; and “unusually quick and decisive action on the part of the provincial government,” CBC reported.
On Tuesday, Quebec premier François Legault announced that one of the nurses who treated Echaquan had been fired. Quebec’s coroner’s office said it will investigate her death, and the local health board, CISSS de Lanaudièr, is launching an internal probe into the tragedy, the Globe reported.
On Thursday, CISSS confirmed that an orderly from the hospital had also been fired, CTV News reported.
Echaquan went to Joliette Hospital on Saturday complaining of stomach pains and on Monday was allegedly given morphine, even though she allegedly told staff she had a heart condition and a pacemaker and could not handle the drug, her cousin Mirella Dubé told the Globe.
Her husband, Carol Dubé, told CBC that it was clear that the hospital staff were humiliating his wife.
She went into the hospital Saturday and “two days later, she died,” said a shaken Dubé. “I have seven children who find themselves without a mother,” he added.
“I am sad. I am so sad.”
Legault said Tuesday that the nurse’s conduct was “unacceptable,” but he did not characterize the tragedy as an example of systemic racism in the province.
“I really don’t think we have this kind of way of dealing with First Nations people in our hospitals in Quebec. Yes there is some racism in Quebec. We’re working on that,” said Legault, referring to a committee on anti-racism he set up in the summer, according to CBC.
Echaquan’s death comes a year after the release of the Viens summary of a public inquiry that concluded it was “impossible to deny” that indigenous people in Quebec face “systemic discrimination” when accessing public services.
The Council of the Atikamekw Nation said such discrimination remains pervasive and that Echaquan’s video “reveals disturbing condescension and racist remarks” from staff, Canadian press reported.
“It is unfortunate that in 2020 such behaviours can still occur,” Grand Chief Constant Awashish said in a statement. “It is everyone’s responsibility to denounce them, especially in the context of health services and whose ethics should protect us from the discomfort of racism.”
Federal Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller said in response to Echaquan’s death that it is “not an isolated incident” and that he welcomed the decision for an inquest. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for “a rapid investigation to establish if it was more than just simple racist words,” according to the Toronto Star.
Police need to investigate whether the actions of the nurse and orderly were criminally negligent and motivated by hate, legal experts told CBC.
The possibility of criminal negligence is based on Echaquan’s alleged complaints that she was being over-medicated and her family’s assertions that she was allergic to morphine and had heart problems, said Amir Attaran, a lawyer and University of Ottawa law professor.
Moreover, the remarks of the hospital staff are clearly racist and open the possibility of Echaquan’s death being a hate crime, he said.
Quebec’s provincial police, the Sûreté du Québec, told CBC it hasn’t yet opened a criminal investigation but is working with the coroner’s office, and the results of the autopsy will be a factor in its decision, CBC reported.
Echaquan’s case is horrific, B.C. law professor Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond told the Globe.
“This tragic case that has come to national attention today … reminds us that this is a national issue,” said Turpel-Lafond, head of an independent investigation into allegations of racism in B.C.'s health care system.
“It is shocking because of the recording and the distress and so it is a deeply troubling example of not just a lack of care, but some deeply racist views that caused someone to be treated as less than human.”

lifesitenews--2020-10-03--Another US bishop says abortion is ‘preeminent issue’ in this election

CLEVELAND , Ohio , October 3 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Another bishop in the United States has explicitly stated that abortion is the “ preeminent issue ” in the upcoming election .
Bishop Edward C. Malesic of Cleveland explained that the consistent teaching of the Church “ regarding the intrinsic evil of abortion seeks to secure all other rights as well .

In it , the bishops emphasize that the threat of abortion “ remains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life itself , because it takes place within the sanctuary of the family , and because of the number of lives destroyed.
” Malesic quoted directly from “ Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship ” in his letter dated September 30 , writing , “ A Catholic voter can not vote for a candidate who favors a policy promoting an intrinsically evil act , such as abortion , euthanasia , assisted suicide , subjecting workers or the poor to subhuman living conditions , redefining marriage in ways that violate its essential meaning , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s intent is to support that position.
” “ At the same time , a voter should not use a candidate ’ s opposition to an intrinsic evil to justify indifference or inattentiveness to other important moral issues involving human life and dignity , ” the document points out .
The Diocese of Cleveland ’ s bishop continued , “ When we cast our vote , we must not remain indifferent to those positions and policies that would negatively impact religious freedoms , erode the traditional family , or make it difficult for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ housing and healthcare.
” “ We must carefully consider how to fix our broken immigration system , address the worldwide refugee crisis , preserve our natural resources , protect the environment and strive for humane solutions to global conflict and terrorism , ” he wrote , while at the same time stressing the fundamental importance of voting pro-life .
He called it “ our solemn duty as citizens of our republic to cast a vote for the candidate who best supports the greatest ideals and moral teachings of our Catholic faith , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the means of our personal salvation and as a benefit for the common good of the pluralistic society in which we live.

“ They also pledge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Parenthood , ’ the largest single provider of abortions in the U.S. , and repeal the Hyde Amendment , which since 1976 has prohibited federal funds to pay for abortions except in rare cases to save the life of the mother , or if the pregnancy arises from incest or rape.

‘The right to life itself must be given our paramount consideration so that people can have the chance to secure all the other benefits that life can afford,’ wrote Diocese of Cleveland Bishop Edward Malesic.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 3, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Another bishop in the United States has explicitly stated that abortion is the “preeminent issue” in the upcoming election.
Bishop Edward C. Malesic of Cleveland explained that the consistent teaching of the Church “regarding the intrinsic evil of abortion seeks to secure all other rights as well. We are not a ‘single issue’ Church; there are other extremely important rights that we must defend, to be sure; but these additional rights flow from and are rooted in the fundamental right to life itself.”
He wrote that “although there are many causes our Church stands for and is vocal about, the right to life itself must be given our paramount consideration so that people can have the chance to secure all the other benefits that life can afford.”
Malesic referred to the document “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship,” released in an updated version by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) before every presidential election.
In it, the bishops emphasize that the threat of abortion “remains our preeminent priority because it directly attacks life itself, because it takes place within the sanctuary of the family, and because of the number of lives destroyed.”
Malesic quoted directly from “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship” in his letter dated September 30, writing, “A Catholic voter cannot vote for a candidate who favors a policy promoting an intrinsically evil act, such as abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, subjecting workers or the poor to subhuman living conditions, redefining marriage in ways that violate its essential meaning, or racist behavior, if the voter’s intent is to support that position.”
“At the same time, a voter should not use a candidate’s opposition to an intrinsic evil to justify indifference or inattentiveness to other important moral issues involving human life and dignity,” the document points out.
The Diocese of Cleveland’s bishop continued, “When we cast our vote, we must not remain indifferent to those positions and policies that would negatively impact religious freedoms, erode the traditional family, or make it difficult for the poor to access adequate education, housing and healthcare.”
“We must carefully consider how to fix our broken immigration system, address the worldwide refugee crisis, preserve our natural resources, protect the environment and strive for humane solutions to global conflict and terrorism,” he wrote, while at the same time stressing the fundamental importance of voting pro-life.
He called it “our solemn duty as citizens of our republic to cast a vote for the candidate who best supports the greatest ideals and moral teachings of our Catholic faith, the faith that we hold and practice as the means of our personal salvation and as a benefit for the common good of the pluralistic society in which we live.”
Recently, Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, explicitly contrasted the pro-abortion platform of the Democratic Party and its presidential candidate with the pro-life platform of the Republican Party and President Donald Trump.
“The 2020 Democratic Party platform states that Democrats believe unequivocally that every woman should be able to ‘access safe and legal abortion,’” Paprocki explained. “They also pledge to ‘restore federal funding for Planned Parenthood,’ the largest single provider of abortions in the U.S., and repeal the Hyde Amendment, which since 1976 has prohibited federal funds to pay for abortions except in rare cases to save the life of the mother, or if the pregnancy arises from incest or rape.”
“The platform also pledges that Democrats will appoint U.S. Supreme Court justices and federal judges who will uphold Roe v. Wade,” he added.

Biden also pledged to restore the Obama-Biden policy that mandates churches, businesses, colleges, and religious orders like the Little Sisters of the Poor to provide coverage for abortion pills in their employees’ health insurance plans.”
On the other hand, the Republican Party Platform, which has remained unchanged since 2016, asserts “the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed.”
Paprocki said Republicans “oppose the use of public funds to perform or promote abortion or to fund organizations, like Planned Parenthood, so long as they provide or refer for elective abortions or sell fetal body parts rather than provide healthcare,” and “support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity of innocent human life.”
Both President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence “promote laws that restrict abortion, oppose federal funding for abortions, and support the appointment of judges who respect the life of unborn babies.”
The bishop, coming as close to a formal endorsement as possible without actually saying it, encouraged his flock to “keep this preeminent issue in mind as you form your conscience before casting your ballot and pray for our country that we may all live the Gospel of Life.”
