Did you know that vast multitudes of Christians have been killed and hundreds of churches have been attacked in recent months? If you live in the western world, there is a good chance that you haven’t heard anything about this. That is because what becomes “news” is very tightly controlled by a handful of exceedingly powerful corporations. So you are going to get the “news” that they want you to have. For example, earlier today Yahoo News posted a “news story” that was entitled “Kim Kardashian Appeared To Accidentally Post An Unedited Selfie This Weekend”. With everything else that is going on in the world, that is what they want us to focus on?
I couldn’t care less about what selfies Kim Kardashian chooses to post on social media.
But I do care about all of the Christians that are being slaughtered in Manipur state in India…
U.N. experts have appealed to India’s government over the ongoing violence in Manipur state, which has left 187 dead, 70,000 displaced and hundreds of churches destroyed amid ethnic and religious tensions.
India’s government has deployed tens of thousands of soldiers to the region, but they have not been able to completely stop the violence.
Thousands of weapons have been looted from the police, and there is a tremendous amount of concern about what might happen next…
The government has deployed about 50,000 soldiers, armed police and other security personnel to enforce buffer zones between the two communities. Despite these measures, mobs have looted more than 4,000 weapons and half a million rounds of ammunition from police in Manipur, according to official estimates.
Of course this is not the only area of India where this sort of thing is happening.
Many in India deeply hate the fact that Christianity has spread so rapidly in that nation in recent years, and the level of persecution just continues to get worse with each passing year.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government is being asked to intervene to prevent the genocide of 120,000 Armenian Christians by the Islamic government of Azerbaijan…
A coalition of global organizations announced the launch of a campaign dedicated to ending the Azerbaijani blockade of the Armenian territory Artsakh, and ending the genocide of 120,000 Armenians who have been trapped in their own country for more than 260 days without the ability to access food, fuel, medicine and other life-saving necessities. These prominent organizations unite under the banner “120,000 Reasons” to signal to President Joseph Biden and the U.S. Congress that immediate action is needed to end this genocide, allow the delivery of life-sustaining relief and allow Armenians unencumbered access to their country. Without these actions, America could standby and allow the death and displacement of 120,000 Armenian Christians.
On Capitol Hill, the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission of the U.S. Congress convened a pivotal hearing to address the genocide perpetrated by Azerbaijan against the ethnic Armenians in Artsakh. The ongoing blockade of the Lachin Corridor, the only road connecting Artsakh to Armenia, which began in December 2022, has severed access by approximately 120,000 Armenian residents in Artsakh to essential goods; including food, electricity, life-saving medication and healthcare.
For much more on the horrifying situation that Christians in Armenia are facing, I would encourage you to read an excellent piece posted by Zero Hedge entitled “Slow Genocide Of 120,000 Armenian Christians Happening Under Azerbaijan Occupation”.
If the Biden administration does not take action soon, thousands of Armenian Christians could die.
Do you think that the Biden administration will do the right thing?
Sadly, Biden and his minions rarely do anything to protect Christians around the world.
At this point, Christian communities are being regularly attacked all over the Middle East. In the Pakistani city of Faislabad, a giant anti-Christian mob recently went on an extremely violent rampage…
A mob attacked a Christian community in Pakistan’s Faislabad over accusations of desecrating a copy of the Holy Quran. Hundreds of people armed with sticks and rocks stormed a predominantly Christian area, vandalising several churches, cemetery and setting scores of houses on fire. Pakistani authorities have launched a probe into the matter and arrested nearly 150 people.
If you choose to be a Christian in Pakistan, you are literally putting your life on the line every single day.

If you were suddenly stopped by hardline Muslims and asked to recite the Islamic profession of faith, what would you do?
One Pakistani pastor was faced with this exact scenario on a recent Sunday evening, and his answer got him shot in the chest…
A pastor was shot and wounded by hardline Muslims on Sunday evening in Jaranwala, Pakistan, a week after Islamist slogans were written on the walls of his church building, sources said.
The Rev. Eleazar Sidhu, pastor of a Presbyterian church in Kukranwala village in the Khanuwana area of Jaranwala tehsil, Faisalabad District, said the assailants ordered him to recite the Islamic creed before shooting him. He was returning home to Rehmat Town with an assistant after pastoral visits to church members when two bearded men stopped his motorcycle near the Khanuwana bus stop, he said.
“One of the attackers pulled out a pistol and asked me to recite the Islamic Kalima, [profession of faith],” Pastor Sidhu stated in the First Information Report (FIR) filed at the Saddar Police Station in Jaranwala. “When I refused and instead started to recite the Apostles’ Creed, the man opened fire, resulting in a bullet wound on the upper half of my chest [on shoulder]. The assailants fled after the attack.”
In neighboring Afghanistan, the Christian population has been reduced to an extremely low level because so many Christians fled the country once the Taliban took power.
Throughout the Middle East and in heavily Islamic areas of Africa, there are relentless efforts to eradicate the Christian faith.
For example, did you know that more than 18,000 Christian churches have been set ablaze in Nigeria since 2009?…
Both Boko Haram and Muslim Fulani herders have targeted Christians in Nigeria; since 2009, at least 18,000 Christian churches and 2,200 Christian schools have been set ablaze, and five million Christians have been internally displaced.
Why doesn’t the mainstream media in the western world ever talk about this? Of course the nation that seems to be the most determined to wipe out the Christian faith is North Korea.
In North Korea, those that are discovered to be Christians are arrested and shipped off to concentration camps where they are literally worked to death…
The most dangerous place in the world to be a Christian is still North Korea, where a 2021 “Law Against Reactionary Thinking” subjects Christians to arrest, confinement in labor camps or even death. Even owning a Bible is a serious crime.
If you live in a western nation, you should be thankful for whatever level of religious freedom that you still have.
The powers-that-be REALLY want us eating crickets, lab-grown “meat,” or both. It’s all about control. Don’t be caught unprepared. Use promo code “jdr” for 25% off at Prepper All-Naturals.
Because things are getting bad all over the globe.
Overall, it is being reported that over 360 million of us “suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination” because of our faith…
More than 360 million Christians suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith. “In the last 30 years,” write the Open Doors analysts, “the number of countries where Christians suffer high and extreme levels of persecution has almost doubled to 76 countries.”
All throughout history, Christians have faced torture and death.
And it isn’t any different in our time.
In fact, I fully expect that the level of persecution will greatly increase in the years ahead. Are you ready to lay down your life for what you believe?
For many Christians on the other side of the world, this is a question that they must ponder on a regular basis.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.
Note: The information provided by this publication or any related communications is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. We do not provide personalized investment, financial, or legal advice.
Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
There are different organizations seeking to help persecuted Christians. The Voice of the Martyrs and Open Doors UK both do good work and provide a lot of information on their websites. They are both reputable organizations and well worth supporting.
I converted to Hinduism in 2002 sway from Christianity. Christians are taught that other religions are evil and when people convert to Christianity they become antagonistic to the religion ofvtheir own culture which breaks up families and communities. This creates enemies. Christianity and Islam are aggressive religions whose main goal is to convert others. When you say “Christians” you are primarily talking about people who were converted. People face losing their cultures to these aggressive cults.

Armenia, too.
Biden won’t take in these people or the farmers of South Africa. He only wants to import communists from south America.
“U.N. experts have appealed…” WTF is a u. n. expert
This made up idea called Judeo-Christianity is the reason the west doesn’t care.
Knew there had to be an asshole on this site. ‘GUY’
Now there are two of us, so read my other comment and wake the heck up my friend.
What could possibly be wrong with turning the other cheek and turning men into Beta Males, such that those good Christians become targets for every aggressive psychopath and their plan to exterminate Christianity?
You supposedly good Christians need to wake up or end up paying with your life. A word to the wise; “Karma does not only work in this reality when you commit an aggression against another, it also works through the continuum, meaning you’ll pay no matter when or where you are. Remember also that defensive actions do not evince the same Karma as does outright murder.
It is time to be Simon Peter when he was trying to protect Jesus by cutting off the ear of the slave of the supposed high priest. Meaning, it is time to stand up like a man and defend our country against the psychopaths hell-bent on trying to destroy America !!!
