thelibertydaily--2020-10-19--Peter Schweizer: Hunter Biden’s Flipped Business Partner Provided 26,000 Emails

The business partner of Hunter Biden who flipped on the Biden family from prison provided access to 26,000 emails , Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer said in a Saturday morning radio appearance .
Schweizer , appearing on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel , said that former Hunter Biden business partner Bevan Cooney provided 26,000 emails to him—the first of which were published late last week in a Breitbart News exclusive investigation by Schweizer and author Seamus Bruner .
Cooney is currently serving a sentence in federal prison due to his conviction over financial deals he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other partner Devon Archer .
Archer , who was also convicted by a jury in federal court , saw his conviction vacated by a federal judge .
That conviction was later—just a couple weeks ago—reinstated by an appellate court , which overruled the lower court judge ’ s decision to vacate it .
Archer awaits sentencing .
In the meantime , however , Cooney—who is serving his sentence in federal prison—reached out to Schweizer via conservative journalist Matthew Tyrmand and provided written authorization to access his Gmail account .
He provided the password @ @ @ @ @ @ @ publish emails because Schweizer says he believes he was the “ fall guy ” for the Biden family ’ s corruption and that he believes the public needs to know what really happened in Hunter Biden ’ s universe .
The first article on these emails was published Friday afternoon , and detailed how Hunter Biden and his partners secured meetings with senior White House officials in November 2011 for Chinese Communist elites—including , as the Chinese elites who were present revealed , a secret meeting with then-Vice President Joe Biden himself .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ requests for comment about this from Breitbart News .
“ Bevan Cooney was business partners with Hunter Biden and Devon Archer , ” Schweizer said on Breitbart News Saturday .
“ He was a nightclub owner—he owns the Viper Room in Los Angeles , and got involved in these financial deals .
He ended up going to jail and really feels that he was the fall guy .
Devon Archer is now going to be going to jail as well , because of the same deals , but he [ Cooney ] really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ walk off scot-free .
He had reached out to me in 2019 after my book Secret Empires came out in 2018 .
He talked about sharing his emails , but it never happened .
He ended up going to jail .
He recently reached out through Matt Tyrmand , a journalist , and said I want to give you access to all of my emails in my Gmail account .
He gave us written approval to do that , and gave us the password .
We have been going through the 26,000 emails @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Breitbart , about China , Inc. , is the first of what are going to be several .
In this particular story what we lay out is how Hunter Biden and his business partners set up a meeting for this group called the China Entrepreneurs Club .
Don ’ t let that benign name fool you ; this is regarded as joined at the hip with the Chinese communist government .
This China Entrepreneurs Club wanted meeting at the highest levels of the White House and Hunter Biden arranged them .
What ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only that they got these meetings on November 14 , 2011 , but they actually , according to members , had a private , secret meeting with Joe Biden himself .
We don ’ t know about this because it appeared on the White House visitors logs or the White House calendar—it doesn ’ t .
We know about it because the Chinese that were on that trip bragged about it in their blog posts back in China that they had this private , secret meeting with Joe Biden .
Out of that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden and his business partners were apparently able to take advantage of , so it demonstrates how this access , with the participation of Joe Biden , translated into commercial deals down the road.
” Schweizer said this first round of emails published late last week—only a handful of the 26,000 obtained—is just the beginning .
There are more , he said , including ones that further illustrate the relationship between Hunter Biden and the ex-wife of the former Moscow mayor Yelene Baturina—a payment from her to Hunter Biden was a major revelation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Biden family corruption—as well as a clearer , more vivid description of just how the Bidens worked to develop a system to use Joe Biden ’ s position in government to enrich themselves .
“ The emails , there are different types of emails , ” Schweizer said .
“ Many of the emails are the business partners discussing , without Hunter ’ s participation , what Hunter ’ s role is in all of this .
What ’ s very clear , and we will have reporting on this at Breitbart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hunter brings no money to the table .
But he is considered the avenue to the administration .
There are emails that talk about how they are going to do business deals where they want to get union pension money and that Hunter is going to leverage the relationships that his dad has with public employee unions to get that money .
So part of it is just kind of a feel for what is the Biden business model , and we kind of knew this in a way but here it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off the Biden name , the Biden connections , and the Biden access .

And then there are other geographical areas covered .
There are deals involving Kazakhstan .
There are deals in other parts of the world .
There are references to Hunter Biden ’ s dealings in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite a bit of material there—26,000 emails , some of them obviously are personal .
We ’ re not going to disclose anything that is personal .
It ’ s all going to be business-related , but we ’ ll be rolling it out in the days ahead.
” That “ underbelly ” of how the Biden family—Schweizer calls them the “ Biden Five , ” whereas President Donald Trump calls them the “ Biden Crime Family ” —operates is further exposed in these emails from Hunter Biden ’ s flipped former partner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re really seeing in these emails is the underbelly of how these relationships and corrupt deals happen , ” Schweizer said .
“ There ’ s no question about that , and that ’ s one of the things I think people are going to get .

To your point , to underline your point , yes these are totally separate from the New York Post emails .
I don ’ t have access and have not had access to those emails and what we are dealing with in our case is—you ’ re exactly 100 percent right .
These are not printouts , these are not PDFs—we actually go into the Gmail account and pull the emails out and download them .
They are timestamped .
These are real .
These are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the reasons we felt it was so important to pursue this .
Cooney is taking a risk because he ’ s trusting us with this trove of emails which includes personal information .

That “underbelly” of how the Biden family—Schweizer calls them the “Biden Five,” whereas President Donald Trump calls them the “Biden Crime Family”—operates is further exposed in these emails from Hunter Biden’s flipped former partner Bevan Cooney.

LISTEN TO PETER SCHWEIZER ON BREITBART NEWS SATURDAY:


thelibertydaily--2020-10-19--This Coming Leftist Coup Could Backfire—Like 1991 In Soviet Union

Our country seems headed for a political crisis , with the enemies of Deplorable America making noises suggesting they are planning a post-election âColor Revolutionâ-type coup against Trump .
As a long-time Russia-watcher , I suggest that the failed Soviet coup of 1991 , and the collapse that it spurred on , is instructive .
The key point that year came when Soviet military and security units refused to move against Boris Yeltsin and his defenders .
Could something like that happen here , with Trump playing the Yeltsin role ?
What yours truly has dubbed the globalist Blob has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has no intention of yielding to Trump come election day .

âAs far as our enemies are concerned , ” as I wrote here last month , “ they are on the right side of history , and neither election law nor the Constitution or any antiquated notions about fair play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : How can elections continue ?
, American Remnant , September 4 , 2020 ] The mail-in balloting plan plays into the Blobâs wargaming .
If the Democrats canât swing the election their way by hook or crook , then the lengthy process of accounting for all the mail-in ballots could be used as a means to sow confusion and chaos , giving them room to maneuver in the aftermath of Election Day .
The Blobâs minions have been signaling their intention to drag out the vote count .
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Nation that her state would not be held to any âartificial deadlinesâ for reporting election results .
[ MI Gov .
Whitmer : No âArtificial Deadlinesâ for Announcing Election Results , by Jeff Poor , Breitbart , October 11 , 2020 ] In an example of the psychological projection characteristic of Democrats , Whitmer further claimed that those who might want to expedite the vote count had âpolitical agendas.â Meanwhile , the Blobâs militant wing has been circulating a plan for post-election disruption .

In a recent segment on âCritical Race Theoryâ gaining traction at the Pentagon , Tucker Carlson wondered just why the Left was so intent on capturing the military .
My answer : the Blob was contemplating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of an attempt to block a second Trump term .
Itâs quite clear that the top military brass has been subject to âthe Great Awokeningâ and Trump Derangement Syndrome as much as the rest of the federal bureaucracy .
The military Establishment has steadfastly resisted Trumpâs inclination to disengage from foreign interventions .
Moreover , the Pentagon has also resisted Trumpâs order to stop indoctrinating its personnel in âCritical Race Theory.â [ Trumpâs Anti-Critical Race Theory Order is Necessary But Insufficient , By Timon Cline , AmGreatness.com , October 5 , 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Woodward reports that former Defense Secretary and retired Marine General James Mattis once commented to then Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats that âThere may come a time when we have to take collective actionâ against Trump , since Mattis deemed the president âdangerousâ and âunfit.â [ Mattis told Coats Trump is ‘ dangerous , ’ ‘ unfit ’ : Woodward book , by Tal Axelrod , The Hill , September 9 , 2020 ] Itâs likely that General Mattisâs view of Trump is widely shared among top level military officers .

Peter van Buren has contemplated a post-election scenario in which a âtemporaryâ military government might be pitched as the only way to break an electoral deadlock and end post-election disorder .

He does not believe that a Pentagon-backed coup is merely âpaperback thriller material.â Itâs a plausible scenario .
Nevertheless , an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trumpâs re-election could result in the coup plotters stepping into a trap of their own making .
This is what happened in the failed 1991 coup attempt in the Soviet Union .
On August 18 , 1991 , with Mikhail Gorbachev preparing to sign a treaty that would have decentralized the Soviet Union , his hardline political opponents in the Soviet leadership arrested the father of perestroika at his Crimean dacha , proclaiming that the Soviet State Committee on the State of Emergency was in charge .
The conspiracy against Gorbachev had been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Defense Minister Dmitry Yazov and six other top level political and security officials .
They were alarmed by Gorbachevâs reforms , which had already loosed centrifugal forces in the USSR that threatened the power of the Communist party and the Soviet apparatus .
But within three days , the coup attempt collapsed .
The coup collapsed because of resistance by then-Russian Federation President Boris Yeltsin and his supporters , and the refusal of elite military and security units to move against them .
On August 19 , Muscovites gathered at the Russian âWhite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parliament in central Moscow , and erected barriers around it .
Boris Yeltsin climbed atop a tank to address the crowd .
Yeltsin condemned the State Emergency Committee as an unlawful gang of coup plotters and called for military and security forces not to support the âGang Of Eight.â Major Sergey Yevdokimov , a battalion commander in the Tamanskaya Division , had already declared his loyalty to Yeltsin ( hence the tank on which Yeltsin made his historic stand ) .
Yevdokimov later said that early on he had decided that he would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As his battalion approached the âWhite House , â one of Yeltsinâs supporters climbed on Yevdokimovâs tank and asked him to come over to their side .
The major made his historically-significant choice , setting in motion events that would help thwart the coup .
KGB special forces units never appeared at the scene .
When the planned assault on the Russian âWhite Houseâ ( âOperation Thunderâ ) failed to materialize after a brief skirmish , it was clear that the coup was over .
This was quickly followed by the collapse of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparatus ; and the dissolution of the Soviet Union .
That was an enormous surprise to the majority of Western Kremlinologists at the time .
Of course , the situation in the U.S. today is not exactly analogous .
For starters , Trump is operating in a hostile environment ( âthe Swampâ ) dominated and controlled by his enemies .
The generals are not on his side .
It seems unlikely that a large group of citizens from the DC area would quickly materialize to support Trump against some sort of military-backed coup @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump may not even be in Washington when a coup is set in motion .
This would leave him an opportunity to do what he does bestâhold mass rallies to fire up his support base in âDeplorableâ areas of the country .
Both âredâ and âblueâ areas across the country are already effectively separating , threatening secession from the United States and practicing nullification .
The as yet inchoate Middle American resistance has shown it is capable of fighting back .
[ Organizing Middle American Resistance : Who Will Take the Next Step @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 2020 ] If general disorder and a deadlock over the elections acts as a cover to deploy military units , it raises the same question Soviet officers and men were faced with in August 1991 : Would the âboots on the groundâ obey orders ?
Trump may be disliked by top-level officers .
But my sense is that he is popular with the rank-and-file .
What if a significant number of them refused to obey a clearly illegal order ?

A post-election crisis , especially a force majeure situation precipitated by military intervention , would accelerate the centrifugal forces already at work in the United States .

Meanwhile, the Democrats, with help from rabid Never Trumpers like Bill Kristol and David Frum, have been “wargaming” scenarios for preventing Trump from taking office should he win, developing a plan for what Trump has correctly described as “an insurrection.” [The Billionaire Backers of the ‘Insurrection’, by Julie Kelly, AmGreatness.com, Sep 14, 2020] The plan is to claim that Trump has stolen, or attempted to steal, the election. “As far as our enemies are concerned,” as I wrote here last month, “they are on the right side of history, and neither election law nor the Constitution or any antiquated notions about fair play will stop them.” [Revolution and Resistance: How can elections continue?, American Remnant, September 4, 2020]

ShutDownDC further proclaims that it has no intention of allowing the country to return to normal. The goal is to “dismantle” what it calls “interlocking systems of oppression.”
This isn’t just about an election—it’s a blueprint for completing the Left’s anti-American Cultural Revolution.
In the chaos that appears increasingly likely after Election Day, we may not even have a clear idea of what happened–-and, indeed, that may be part of the Blob’s design.
In a recent segment on “Critical Race Theory” gaining traction at the Pentagon, Tucker Carlson wondered just why the Left was so intent on capturing the military.

In his book Rage, Bob Woodward reports that former Defense Secretary and retired Marine General James Mattis once commented to then Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats that “There may come a time when we have to take collective action” against Trump, since Mattis deemed the president “dangerous” and “unfit.” [Mattis told Coats Trump is ‘dangerous,’ ‘unfit’: Woodward book, by Tal Axelrod, The Hill, September 9, 2020]
It’s likely that General Mattis’s view of Trump is widely shared among top level military officers.
So how might the military figure into the Blob’s wargaming plans? Peter van Buren has contemplated a post-election scenario in which a “temporary” military government might be pitched as the only way to break an electoral deadlock and end post-election disorder. [What if Trump Won’t Leave The White House?

On August 19, Muscovites gathered at the Russian “White House,” the seat of Russia’s parliament in central Moscow, and erected barriers around it. Boris Yeltsin climbed atop a tank to address the crowd. Yeltsin condemned the State Emergency Committee as an unlawful gang of coup plotters and called for military and security forces not to support the “Gang Of Eight.”
Major Sergey Yevdokimov, a battalion commander in the Tamanskaya Division, had already declared his loyalty to Yeltsin (hence the tank on which Yeltsin made his historic stand). Yevdokimov later said that early on he had decided that he would not fire on any Russian citizens. As his battalion approached the “White House,” one of Yeltsin’s supporters climbed on Yevdokimov’s tank and asked him to come over to their side. The major made his historically-significant choice, setting in motion events that would help thwart the coup.
KGB special forces units never appeared at the scene. When the planned assault on the Russian “White House” (“Operation Thunder”) failed to materialize after a brief skirmish, it was clear that the coup was over. This was quickly followed by the collapse of the Communist party and the Soviet administrative apparatus; and the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
That was an enormous surprise to the majority of Western Kremlinologists at the time.
Of course, the situation in the U.S. today is not exactly analogous. For starters, Trump is operating in a hostile environment (“the Swamp”) dominated and controlled by his enemies. The generals are not on his side. It seems unlikely that a large group of citizens from the DC area would quickly materialize to support Trump against some sort of military-backed coup.
It’s possible, however, that Trump may not even be in Washington when a coup is set in motion. This would leave him an opportunity to do what he does best—hold mass rallies to fire up his support base in “Deplorable” areas of the country.
Both “red” and “blue” areas across the country are already effectively separating, threatening secession from the United States and practicing nullification. The as yet inchoate Middle American resistance has shown it is capable of fighting back. [Organizing Middle American Resistance: Who Will Take the Next Step?, American Remnant, July 31, 2020]
If general disorder and a deadlock over the elections acts as a cover to deploy military units, it raises the same question Soviet officers and men were faced with in August 1991: Would the “boots on the ground” obey orders?
Trump may be disliked by top-level officers. But my sense is that he is popular with the rank-and-file. What if a significant number of them refused to obey a clearly illegal order? It may take only one Major Yevdokimov refusing unlawful orders for the whole plot to unravel.
The Deplorables have good reason to think the Blob will rig or otherwise reverse the election results. The past four years have already taught them that. And the Blob’s Main Stream Media arm has been hard at it selling the Narrative of Trump stealing the election. The Democrats’ base appears to be ready and willing to accept drastic measures against Trump and the Middle Americans they loathe.
The potential for a seismic political crisis is clear.
What we are witnessing is what I’ve called “the end of politics.” [Chronicles, May 2019] American elections are becoming more like the zero-sum games they are in the undeveloped world—and were to some extent in pre-modern Britain. A post-election crisis, especially a force majeure situation precipitated by military intervention, would accelerate the centrifugal forces already at work in the United States.
The failure of a coup attempt could do to the Democrats’ “Coalition of the Fringes” what the failure of the August coup did to the Communists in the USSR—opening up room to maneuver for what I call the American Remnant and VDARE.com calls the Historic American Nation.
Given the circumstances, with the demographic ring closing in, that may be a providential outcome.

‘2 Hearts’ actor Adan Canto says new movie speaks to value of life, family
The movie "2 Hearts" tells the true story of two couples whose journeys lead them to a life-saving miracle of love and purpose.
Actor Adan Canto told The Christian Post that he wanted to be a part of the Lance Hool film because of “the overall message of the value of life and the importance of family.”
The film stars Australian actor Jacob Elordi ("Deep Water") in the role of Chris, “a college freshman whose love for a spirited classmate played by Tiera Skovbye (‘Riverdale’) helps him find the purpose he has been searching for. In another place and time, Adan Canto plays Cuban exile Jorge, who falls for well-traveled flight attendant Leslie, played by Radha Mitchell (‘The Shack’). Though they were never meant to meet, fate has something entirely unexpected in store for both couples that dramatically changes the course of their lives,” the film’s synopsis says.
Jorge and Leslie Bacardi's marriage faced many obstacles yet the couple remained hopeful and committed to each other. Canto said in 2020 while so many relationships are faced with the strain of what’s going on in the world, it’s important to stick together.
"Hardship is very revealing with relationships, and even with oneself, with one's relationship with oneself,” Canto said. “It's easy to live in realities when everything's in autopilot and moving smoothly. But when hardship knocks on your door, that's when the truth is revealed either from one's own character, or the relationships that you've been building with the people around you.”
"There's a saying that I've always loved, I forget where I read it or who said it, but [it says] 'You have to decide if you want to be right, or if you want to be in relationship.'”
"It gets you thinking, there's a lot behind that, it's pretty layered. It's invaluable to have a good group of people around you — family, your wife, professional team, people we respect and admired, and to have that inspiration every day. I think it's really important to have that.”
When asked by this CP reporter to share the significance of the Bible verse Romans 8:28 which says “All things work together for good” as it relates to the heartwarming movie and the unrest happening in 2020, Canto said that it’s a “hard concept to grasp,” but it is true.
"It's a thick pill to swallow and to really understand that [verse],” he told CP. “I think it's important to have a bird's eye view of life, of history, of reality and have a little bit of humility. I'm speaking also for myself. This is something that I admit I don't embody every day, but it's certainly something I want to strive to do, to really understand what place we hold in history, in time, in life. ... The way I try to view it is just trying to gather the best lessons that you can and try to come better out the other side."
Canto also likened portraying Jorge Bacardi to his paternal grandfather who was also a strong Latin figure in his family and community who refused to allow an illness keep him down.
"My grandfather, he was a very affable and well-known man. He was a doctor and the whole town knew him. He faced significant hardship toward the end, illness and all that. He would literally fall and he would literally stand up and keep going every day because he knew if he didn't, that was basically the beginning of the end. There's a lot of lessons to be learned from people like that and strong character," he said.
The Hollywood star maintained that as it did in Jorge and Leslie’s story, faith can also play a major role in times like today.
"I think [faith is] fundamental for sure, knowing that there's a spirit behind it all, with vast wisdom beyond our comprehension,” Canto added. “That alone should give us a lot of peace of mind, knowing that there is a higher wisdom behind it all. What we know or think we know, is may be just a speck. Have the strength to let go and trust and know that in the end it's for a greater plan.”

thelibertydaily--2020-10-19--Wikipedia Bans Editors From Expressing Support for Real Marriage

Wikipedia has decided to restrict its editors from expressing opposition to same-sex marriage on its platform — a decision that comes months after co-founder Larry Sanger said the site ’ s neutrality policy was “ dead.
” Volunteers who write and edit Wikipedia ’ s articles can no longer include on their profile page any “ userbox ” — a badge expressing their beliefs — that is against gay marriage .
For example , one such userbox states , “ This user believes marriage is between one man and one woman.
” The decision was made after a recent discussion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such a stance was “ discriminatory ” and against site policy , according to Breitbart .
The discussion began after an editor , Adam Cuerden , suggested that just one userbox be deleted , calling it “ pretty explicitly homophobic ” and citing a site guideline prohibiting “ inflammatory or divisive ” content in userboxes .
Soon , he suggested that other userboxes in favor of traditional marriage should also be deleted .
The move led site administrator “ Ad Orientem ” to resign , according to The Christian Institute , which noted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decision was “ clearly inconsistent ” with the project ’ s commitment to neutrality and condemned hostile comments about traditional marriage supporters .
They “ represent an ugly tendency to condemn the views of others as outside the bounds of acceptable thought , never minding those views are held by the vast majority of people globally and the followers of most of the world ’ s major religious faiths , ” the administrator was quoted as saying .
In May , Wikipedia co-founder Sanger had declared that the site ’ s “ NPOV @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ is dead.
” “ The original policy long since forgotten , Wikipedia no longer has an effective neutrality policy , ” he wrote .
“ There is a rewritten policy , but it endorses the utterly bankrupt canard that journalists should avoid what they call ‘ false balance.
’ The notion that we should avoid ‘ false balance ’ is directly contradictory to the original neutrality policy.
” Referring to the Jesus article on Wikipedia , Sanger said , “ It simply asserts , again in its own voice , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has yielded major uncertainty on the historical reliability of the Gospels and on how closely the Jesus portrayed in the Bible reflects the historical Jesus.
’ ” He continued , “ In another place , the article simply asserts , ‘ the gospels are not independent nor consistent records of Jesus ’ life.
’ A great many Christians would take issue with such statements , which means it is not neutral for that reason—in other words , the very fact that most Christians believe in the historical reliability of the Gospels , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the article is biased if it simply asserts , without attribution or qualification , that this is a matter of ‘ major uncertainty.
’ “ In other respects , the article can be fairly described as a ‘ liberal ’ academic discussion of Jesus , focusing especially on assorted difficulties and controversies , while failing to explain traditional or orthodox views of those issues .
So it might be ‘ academic , ’ but what it is not is neutral , not in the original sense we defined for Wikipedia .

thelibertydaily--2020-10-19--Tyndale’s New Bible Line Features ‘Game-Changing’ Study App

As the way people digest media has changed , a leading Bible publisher has partnered with an app development company that worked on the popular stock-trading app Robinhood to create a new line of Bibles compatible with its own “ game-changing ” mobile app .
While there are countless mobile Bible apps as well as many print study Bibles available today , Tyndale House Publishers , one of the largest independent Christian publishing companies in the world , has released a new line of Bibles that seeks to blend the two concepts .
Last month , the publishing house unveiled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on its website to be “ Bible Reading Reimagined.
” “ It ’ s the future of Bibles : Learn more without carrying more , ” the collection ’ s webpage states .
While many study Bibles have analysis on the Scripture included in the margins of Bible pages , the new Filament Bible Collection compiles all Scripture-related notes , passage reflections , interactive maps and videos related to each page of the Bible on the Filament mobile app for users to reference as they read along in their print Bible .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been used by 9,000 people .
When readers scan the page number of the passage they are reading or studying into the app , they are given the option to read an easy-to-understand summary of the passage and any additional contextual information as well as devotional essays , maps and summary videos related to the passage .
The app contains a total of over 1,200 devotions written by various curated Christian authors .
“ There is something really important about having a print Bible that is the center of how you engage with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t want to get rid of all these digital tools because they also have tremendous value , ” Keith Williams , the app project director and senior editor at Tyndale House , told The Christian Post .
“ We bring in that digital app to provide that supplementary information that really helps you engage and understand what you are reading in that print Bible .
There are print Bibles that do this — study Bibles and that sort of thing .
But what happens is that you try to fit all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end up with a huge book and in some cases , the Scripture text itself is squeezed off the page almost because there is so much distracting yours from it .
We are able to take all that and put it in the app.
” Williams said that the app allows users to bring in the analysis and extra content of a study Bible when they want and not worry about having to haul around a giant book .
“ It allows you to have that portable Bible you can take anywhere and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , at lunch , on a train or whatever , ” he said .
“ Or if you are at a small group or talking to someone about the Bible and there are questions that come up , you have access to tools that help you answer those questions.
” The idea for the Filament Bible was first hatched in 2016 .
The first Filament Bible was published in October 2018 .
But last month , Tyndale announced the launch of the Filament Bible Collection , giving users an option of four different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ James Version that are compatible with its now expanded mobile app .
“ We updated the app and take it from being an experiment and into something that we are really hoping to see spread and be a part of something that [ changes ] the way people think about how they interact with their Bibles , ” Williams said .
“ We have expanded the content .
It is one of the great things about having a digital companion to a print Bible is that you can continue to have access to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When we launched , we had about 400 devotionals in the ‘ Reflect ’ section of the app and now there are almost 1,200 devotionals available all keyed to the page you are on in your Bible .
We continue to add more videos and interactive maps.
” According to Williams , Filament Bible ’ s ability to provide access to “ spot-on content curated immediately for the page they ’ re reading ” is unprecedented .
“ By utilizing the free Filament app , these portable Bibles provide far more study resources @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and worship music than even the largest study Bible could offer , ” he said .
“ If you tried to fit all of this content into one Bible , you ’ d be carrying it in a wheelbarrow !
” Once a reader scans in their page number on the app , they are presented with three options for what they want to do to learn more about the passages they are reading : “ study , ” “ reflect , ” or `` see . ''
The “ study ” portion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be found on the margins of a typical study Bible such as introductions , notes and profiles of key Bible figures .
Under “ reflect , ” readers will be shown written reflections on how the ideas of the passages they are reading can be connected to people ’ s everyday lives as well as devotional articles curated by Tyndale 's approved sources .
Devotional reflection pieces found in the app are written by several prominent Christian authors and leaders such as Kellye Fabian of Willow Creek , author Chris Tiergreen , author @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Orchard Evangelical Free Church in Illinois .
The “ see ” window in the app allows users to view the maps ( such as those of Jesus ’ ministry ) , videos from The Bible Project and other visuals that allow users to gain a better understanding of the setting of passages they are studying .
“ The biggest single addition outside of the devotionals is we have a partnership with an organization called The Worship Initiative and have over 300 worship music videos that are like lyric videos with professionally performed worship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the app could make it easier to do worship during small group meetings .
“ That also shows up where that hymn or praise song is relevant to the particular Scripture you are studying.
” After interviewing several app development companies , Tyndale partnered with Hippo Labs , an app developer that had previously done user interfacing work on the popular zero-commission stock trading app Robinhood , which has become a favorite investment application among younger adults due to its simplicity and low cost .
For Robinhood , which was founded 2013 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ animated and customizable user interface components that “ made the complex stock data look as simple as ‘ free stock trading ’ sounds.
” What drew Tyndale to Hipo Labs was the fact that the company had already worked to create an easy-to-use and simple Bible app called NeuBible , which aimed to make the Bible effortless to read and accessible .
“ As we engaged with them in conversation , we realized they are going to be a phenomenal partner that is excellent at understanding how to build a powerful and simple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
“ They really impressed us and continue to be a great partner for us as we keep thinking about the future of this app .

Williams said that the app allows users to bring in the analysis and extra content of a study Bible when they want and not worry about having to haul around a giant book.
“It allows you to have that portable Bible you can take anywhere and allows you to study on your own, at lunch, on a train or whatever,” he said. “Or if you are at a small group or talking to someone about the Bible and there are questions that come up, you have access to tools that help you answer those questions.”
The idea for the Filament Bible was first hatched in 2016. The first Filament Bible was published in October 2018. But last month, Tyndale announced the launch of the Filament Bible Collection, giving users an option of four different Bibles in New Living Translation or King James Version that are compatible with its now expanded mobile app.
“We updated the app and take it from being an experiment and into something that we are really hoping to see spread and be a part of something that [changes] the way people think about how they interact with their Bibles,” Williams said.
“We have expanded the content. It is one of the great things about having a digital companion to a print Bible is that you can continue to have access to more and more content over time. When we launched, we had about 400 devotionals in the ‘Reflect’ section of the app and now there are almost 1,200 devotionals available all keyed to the page you are on in your Bible. We continue to add more videos and interactive maps.”
According to Williams, Filament Bible’s ability to provide access to “spot-on content curated immediately for the page they’re reading” is unprecedented.
“By utilizing the free Filament app, these portable Bibles provide far more study resources and enjoyable teaching videos, devotionals, and worship music than even the largest study Bible could offer,” he said. “If you tried to fit all of this content into one Bible, you’d be carrying it in a wheelbarrow!”
Once a reader scans in their page number on the app, they are presented with three options for what they want to do to learn more about the passages they are reading: “study,” “reflect,” or "see."
The “study” portion is similar to the notes that might be found on the margins of a typical study Bible such as introductions, notes and profiles of key Bible figures. Under “reflect,” readers will be shown written reflections on how the ideas of the passages they are reading can be connected to people’s everyday lives as well as devotional articles curated by Tyndale's approved sources.
Devotional reflection pieces found in the app are written by several prominent Christian authors and leaders such as Kellye Fabian of Willow Creek, author Chris Tiergreen, author Nancy Guthrie and Colin S. Smith of Orchard Evangelical Free Church in Illinois.
The “see” window in the app allows users to view the maps (such as those of Jesus’ ministry), videos from The Bible Project and other visuals that allow users to gain a better understanding of the setting of passages they are studying.
“The biggest single addition outside of the devotionals is we have a partnership with an organization called The Worship Initiative and have over 300 worship music videos that are like lyric videos with professionally performed worship music,” he said, adding that the app could make it easier to do worship during small group meetings. “That also shows up where that hymn or praise song is relevant to the particular Scripture you are studying.”
After interviewing several app development companies, Tyndale partnered with Hippo Labs, an app developer that had previously done user interfacing work on the popular zero-commission stock trading app Robinhood, which has become a favorite investment application among younger adults due to its simplicity and low cost.
For Robinhood, which was founded 2013, Hipo Labs worked to create fully animated and customizable user interface components that “made the complex stock data look as simple as ‘free stock trading’ sounds.”
What drew Tyndale to Hipo Labs was the fact that the company had already worked to create an easy-to-use and simple Bible app called NeuBible, which aimed to make the Bible effortless to read and accessible.
“As we engaged with them in conversation, we realized they are going to be a phenomenal partner that is excellent at understanding how to build a powerful and simple and intuitive app interface,” Williams said. “They really impressed us and continue to be a great partner for us as we keep thinking about the future of this app.”


thelibertydaily--2020-10-19--Democrats/Fake News Media Suddenly All-In for Secession As Election Day Draws Near

One thing we ’ ve tried to do throughout the current election cycle is pick up on and highlight anecdotal evidence suggesting that President Donald Trump and the GOP may actually be doing better than the polling reflects .
Along those lines , we ’ re happy to point out that even Joe Biden ’ s campaign manager , Jen O ’ Malley Dillon , isn ’ t confident that the polling we ’ re all seeing showing her candidate with double-digit leads nationally is accurate .
That said , we ’ ve discovered more anecdotal evidence that the leftists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not confident that they ’ re going to win this year – or ever , actually .
Increasingly , and disturbingly , a growing number of media figures are positing that it might be time for the country to dissolve – for some states to secede – because it ’ s increasingly obvious we ’ re too divided to continue ( and the left is getting too impatient waiting to implement its counter-revolutionary ideas via elections ) .
Ryan McMaken at the libertarian Mises Institute wrote earlier this month : It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media outlets that things are unlikely to return to “ normal ” after the 2020 election .
No matter who wins , it is likely the losing side will regard the winning side as having obtained its win using dirty tricks , foreign meddling , or through relentless propaganda offered up by a heavily biased and one-sided news media .
And if about half the country regards the winning president as illegitimate , where does one go from there ?
McMaken cited a Politico report noting the percentage of Americans ( on both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justified to resort to violence to “ advance political goals ” has grown significantly since 2017 .
“ We do not pull this alarm lightly .
The decisions we make over the next few months are hugely consequential .
If we fall into a cycle of violence , the consequences for America ’ s future as a democracy will be dire , ” the authors write .
In mid-September , Steve Chapman , writing in the Chicago Tribune , asked bluntly : “ Can the United States survive this election ?
” He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peaceful divorce : The concept of splitting off is as American as the Fourth of July .
The high point of separation sentiment came after Abraham Lincoln ’ s election in 1860 , resulting in the Civil War .
But New England states contemplated leaving over the War of 1812….The bonds that hold Americans together have frayed , and what happens on Nov. 3 may do additional damage .
No nation lasts forever , and ours won ’ t be the first .
This election won ’ t be the end of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the beginning of the end .
Meanwhile , also in September , Chuck Bonfig , in a piece for the Philadelphia Inquirer , also suggested that it may be time for “ a breakup ” : The country has gone through many periods of strife in my time here : assassinations , recessions , desegregation , inflation , gas crisis , Watergate , hanging chads , the AIDS crisis , 9/11 .
Maybe it ’ s the 24-hour news cycle or the immediacy of social media that makes the landscape seem so bleak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us ever being so divided .
No one in our country seems happy today .
The right is angry .
The left is despondent .
Our nation reminds me of those married couples who try to stay together for “ the children ” but end up making everyone around them miserable .
Maybe it ’ s time for a breakup….Just think about it , America .

We used to be good together .
But what is the point of having the “ greatest country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us actually like it ?
Richard Kreitner , who often writes for the left-wing pub The Nation , discussed with the magazine how he began to view secession as a good thing ( he ’ s author of the book , “ Break It Up : Secession , Division , and the Secret History of America ’ s Imperfect Union ” ) : We need to not dismiss it as solely the province of the Confederacy and of slave owners .

In mid-September, Steve Chapman, writing in the Chicago Tribune, asked bluntly: “Can the United States survive this election?”
He suggested secession or, perhaps, a peaceful divorce:
The concept of splitting off is as American as the Fourth of July. The high point of separation sentiment came after Abraham Lincoln’s election in 1860, resulting in the Civil War. But New England states contemplated leaving over the War of 1812….The bonds that hold Americans together have frayed, and what happens on Nov. 3 may do additional damage.
