It’s Hysterically Funny That The Democratic Nominee For President Joe Biden Has A Long And Enthusiastic History Of Racism And Segregation

On May 22nd, Joe Biden said to radio host Charlamagne, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

On May 22, Biden sat down for an interview with “The Breakfast Club,” a popular radio show. Near the end of the interview, as he was questioned on policy by host Charlamagne, Biden said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Oh how painful it must be to be a Democrat in the woke age in which we live in 2020, how utterly stupefying it must be to support riots in the streets to ‘end racism’ while simultaneously attempting to support a candidate for president you is a racist. This is a juggling act you are forced to do to maintain your membership in the Democratic Party in 2020.

Aside from being a serial molester of women and children, Joe Biden for nearly half a century in public office has made continual racist statements, and worked to pass laws that promoted segregation and unequal treatment to people of color. The internet is forever, and video proof of his deeds and actions are very easy to come by. We have posted some at the bottom of this article for you to view and consider.

The Democrats have made a deal with the Devil in picking Joe Biden as their nominee, only choosing him because they think his reduced mental condition will make him easy to control should he win the presidency. But they have to support an avowed, lifelong racist to do that, and guess what? It is highly likely that Biden will lose to Donald Trump, and they will have supported a racist who only wound up losing.

That’s a heck of a party platform, don’t you think? #BlackLivesMatter #PowerMatters

Joe Biden is a Racist Who Loves Police Brutality

FROM LEFT VOICE: Joe Biden’s history of enthusiastic racism stretches back decades. From the moment he entered the U.S. Senate in the early 1970s, he vocally opposed busing to achieve school desegregation. Today he disputes this fact, claiming he only opposed federally mandated busing. Nevertheless, “opposing busing” has long been racist code for opposing Black and brown children going to school with white children. At a time when “separate but equal” was beginning to become politically unpalatable, Biden’s leadership against busing, in the most generous possible interpretation, provided cover for segregationists to continue their work.

Joe Biden represented Delaware in the Senate, a state that essentially refused to desegregate schools through a combination of hair-splitting laws and white parents shifting their children to private schools en masse. Private school enrollment in Delaware is now among the highest in the nation, at 17.6 percent in Biden’s hometown of Wilmington — the vast majority of them white. Meanwhile, disproprotionately Black public schools are systematically starved of funds. This kind of de facto segregation is exactly what Joe Biden promoted in his anti-busing campaign.

Ahead of the 2020 South Carolina presidential primary, a focus group was asked about this very portion of Biden’s record. One woman in the group asked “are we honestly being asked to to believe he is a segregationist?” Evidence points to yes.

Twenty years later, having risen to the prominent position of chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Biden presided over confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas to become the second Black Supreme Court justice. The hearings became a crucible for the particular combination of racism and misogyny at the heart of the United States when law professor Anita Hill, also Black and who had previously worked for Thomas, came forward with sexual harassment allegations against him. The all-male, all-white committee Biden chaired questioned her in brutal detail. He refused to take her allegations seriously, launched no investigation, and failed to accept testimony from multiple other witnesses and survivors of Thomas’s harassment. With Biden’s collusion, Thomas was confirmed and today is one of the Court’s consistent right-wing votes. Reportedly, he’s also Trump’s favorite justice.

Biden’s dismal record here is especially important to note, since one of the main arguments deployed in his favor is that he will appoint better judges than Trump has to various federal courts.

Perhaps the most egregious example of Biden’s racist use of power is 1994’s Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, the crime bill he wrote and continues to support vocally to this day. The bill is a laundry list of the worst aspects of the mass incarceration state. It led to a boom in the number of police officers and prisons, lengthened prison sentences, and created financial incentives to keep people in jail. It created 60 new death penalty offenses as well as the infamous “three strikes and you’re out” rule, which inflicted a life sentence for almost any crime, even ones considered very minor, if there were two prior convictions for “serious” or “violent” crimes. Since then, people have died in prison for things like stealing a dollar in loose change from a parked car, possessing less than 1 gram of a drug, and attempting to break into a soup kitchen. Biden had also co-written the Anti-Drug Abuse Act a few years earlier, during the so-called crack epidemic. It amplified sentencing disparities between crack cocaine users, who were mostly Black, and powder cocaine users, who were mostly white.

All these new laws affected people of color, especially Black and Indigenous people, the most, leading to a massive increase in incarceration, policing, and the destruction of Black communities. While the crime bill was very popular at the time, it came under heavy criticism from those who knew it would worsen carceral capitalism. Now considered widely to be a racist failure, some previous supporters have disowned it. Only someone truly committed to racism would maintain his support of the bill, as Biden still does. “On balance,” he says, “the whole bill …  did in fact bring down violent crime.” And, he contends, “The crime bill didn’t increase mass incarceration.”

Biden’s racism can also be viewed through the lens of the infamous “civility” of the U.S. Senate — a body that serves as a playground in which rich and powerful Democrats and Republicans can disagree lightly during working hours while maintaining deep social, political, and financial connections. Biden was an enthusiastic participant in this tradition through his friendship and fruitful working relationship with noted segregationist and vile racist Strom Thurmond, the senator from South Carolina.

“I disagreed deeply with Strom on the issue of civil rights, and on many other issues, but I watched him change,” Biden said as he eulogized his racist friend in 2003. However, it’s not clear that they disagreed all that much. They worked together early in Biden’s Senate career on the 1983 Comprehensive Forfeiture Act, which increased the use of civil asset forfeiture by police departments across the country. Civil forfeiture is legalized theft, allowing cops to seize and sell any property they say is involved in a crime, even if the owner is never even arrested or convicted. It is used mostly against working class and poor people, especially if they are Black. Since 1999, the federal government alone took in $36.5 billion in assets through civil forfeiture, a percentage of which was used to buy military grade weaponry that was then allotted to local and state police agencies and has been deployed against protesters. Biden played a pivotal role in ensuring the law was passed, whipping the Democrats into voting for it and ensuring that Thurmond got the credit for the law.

“We don’t treat the opposition as the enemy,” Biden said while campaigning for president recently. “We might even say a nice word every once in a while about a Republican when they do something good.” Apparently, Biden thinks the police stealing from Black communities in order to repress them more thoroughly is good.

Another line of argument Biden’s supporters use to divert attention from his racism is that he was vice president under Barack Obama, the first Black president of the United States. It doesn’t just smack of “I have a Black friend” side-stepping, it’s even more flimsy.

Obama’s own record on race while president isn’t a glowing one. He often relied on symbolism, rather than material action — such as with the infamous “beer summit” between a white police officer and the Black Harvard University professor the cop arrested for entering his own home. When he wasn’t ignoring race, he insisted it was a “both-sides” issue. For instance, in his famous 2008 “A More Perfect Union” speech, Obama spoke about solving racism in America if only everyone forgave each other. It’s the same “both-sides-ism” whenever a white liberal shares a photo on social media of a cop and a protester hugging (often minutes before the cops turn violent).

During the anti-racist, anti-police uprisings in Ferguson following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014, Obama criticized the protesters. “There are productive ways of responding and expressing those frustrations, and there are destructive ways of responding. Burning buildings, torching cars, destroying property, putting people at risk — that’s destructive and there’s no excuse for it. Those are criminal acts. And people should be prosecuted if they engage in criminal acts.”

Those words are echoed in how liberals are talking about protesters today. Obama, though, had more power than most liberals and used it to expand a racist system. It cannot be a defense of Biden that he served as vice president — a stepping stone to power in itself — under a Black president who pursued mass incarceration, surveillance, the war against drugs, imperialism, land theft from Indigenous people, and other policies of neoliberalism that disproportionately target people of color.

On May 22, Biden sat down for an interview with “The Breakfast Club,” a popular radio show. Near the end of the interview, as he was questioned on policy by host Charlamagne the God, Biden said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Black people on social media were quick to point out the absurdity of a white man feeling entitled to determine who is or is not Black. In response to the swift backlash, Biden gave the requisite milquetoast apology. However, Charlamagne zeroed in on the problem. “I don’t ever care about the words and the lip service and the apology is cool, but the best apology is actually a black agenda … They’ve got to make some real policy commitments to black people. We’ve got to stop acting like the fact that blacks are overrepresented in America when it comes to welfare, poverty, unemployment, homelessness, drug addiction, crime, coronavirus—that’s no accident. The whole function of systemic racism is to marginalize black people.”

While Biden may have learned the right words to say in 2020 to avoid accusations of racism, as in his “plan for Black America,” he lacks the policies, actions, or record to back them up. Racism isn’t what you say; it’s what you do. And Biden continues to advocate for racist action worldwide, from criminal penalties for immigration to increased military spending, even after his recent and calculated about-face on prisons and sentencing.

Biden doesn’t really stand with Black Americans. Faced with the clear choice to stand with protesters fighting racist state violence or with the police brutalizing them, it is no surprise that he sought a pseudo-middle ground, saying, “The idea that instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person, coming at him with a knife or something, to shoot him in the leg instead of in the heart. There’s a lot of different things [policies] that can change.”

Apparently, Biden thinks the things that can change are limited to what part of an unarmed protester’s body the police should aim to shoot. The only way to read this is that Biden, an enthusiastic proponent of state violence, just wishes the cops would carry it out a bit more politely and with more plausible deniability. Either way, given his long support for racist policies and his blithe dismissal of any questioning of that record, there is no reason to believe Biden in any way stands with the protesters against racist state violence, or that the way the police terrorize Black communities would be different under a Biden administration than under Trump.

Joe Biden has said, “I’m not sorry for anything that I have ever done.” We should take him at his word, and look at his record. Even if a bourgeois politician could or ever would “solve” racism in America, Joe Biden is not that person. He has spent his life fighting for policies that make life worse for Black, Indigenous, and white working-class Americans. Why should anyone believe he will do anything different as president?

Operation Africa! Launches ‘Maria’s Hope’ In Kenya To Help Build A Self-Sustaining Vegetable Garden For The Children Of The Glory Fellowship Orphanage In Kisii

Maria’s Hope Takes Root In Kenya As Operation Africa! Helps Orphans Build A Sustainable Source Of Food For Their Future

Maria’s Hope is exactly what Operation Africa! was created to do, take the love of Jesus Christ and put it into the hands of people who desperately need to see it working. At the Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya, these young people are not standing around waiting for another shipment of food to arrive. They are clearing the ground, breaking up the soil, pulling roots, swinging hoes and preparing a garden that, Lord willing, will continue producing long after the first seeds are planted. This is not simply feeding hungry children for one day; this is helping them build a renewable source of food that can keep feeding them tomorrow, next month and next year. Maria’s Hope is about turning a piece of Kenyan soil into provision, stability and opportunity. Come help us complete this live-saving mission of hope.

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17 (KJB)

The garden will include seeds and plantings for cabbage, spinach, kale, carrots, managu, sagaa, and of course, lots and lots of fertilizer. As you can see in this video, the work of preparing the ground began in earnest this morning. But Maria’s Hope will be more than just produce. Lord willing, and just like we did for Irad in Uganda, we need to get them a cow, a goat and maybe some chickens as well. The beautiful little girl you see in the photo at the top of this article is Maria, and we are naming this garden project in her honor. She is one of 15 orphans at Glory Fellowship who have HIV/AIDS, along with a total of 84 orphans that live at the residence. They need this more than you could possibly imagine.

And this is why Maria’s Hope may become one of the most meaningful projects we have undertaken through Operation Africa! We are not simply sending something that will eventually run out. We are helping create something that can grow. Seeds become plants, plants become food, food becomes strength, and strength allows children to learn, work, worship and build a future. And all of it begins with a patch of red African soil, willing hands, generous NTEB listeners and readers, and a desire to put the gospel of Jesus Christ into action. This is missions work you can see, this is faith you can put your hands on. This is Maria’s Hope. We will need to raise between $5,000-10,000 to bring this garden to completion all told, and when it’s done, it will be there as long as the orphanage survives. Come help us!!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this overwhelmingly urgent task of providing the children of Glory Fellowship Orphange with bibles, medicine, food and clean drinking water. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

Artificial Intelligence

FUTURE SHOCK: AI Was Trained To Think Like Humans, But New Research Shows Humans Are Now Beginning To Think And Speak Like Artificial Intelligence

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Artificial Intelligence was trained to think and act human, but in an incredible irony, it is the humans who are now acting like AI

For years, we were told that artificial intelligence was being trained on us. It consumed our books, our websites, our conversations, our photographs, our articles and our collective human experience, learning how we speak, how we think and how we respond. The machine was built to imitate the man. But now something far stranger is beginning to emerge: the man is beginning to imitate the machine. Researchers are finding measurable evidence that words, sentence structures and linguistic habits favored by AI systems are beginning to appear in human speech and writing. The creation is no longer merely reflecting its creator; the reflection is beginning to reshape the one standing in front of the mirror.

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)

Think about the feedback loop now being constructed in real time. Human beings produce the language that trains artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence processes that language, reorganizes it and develops recognizable patterns of its own. Millions of people then spend hours every day talking to those systems, writing with them, learning from them and increasingly allowing them to compose their emails, articles, schoolwork, business communications and even personal conversations. Those AI-shaped words are then poured back onto the Internet, where tomorrow’s artificial intelligence will consume them as training material. Human feeds machine, machine reshapes human. Human feeds machine again. Round and round it goes, until the question is no longer simply whether machines can successfully imitate humanity, but whether humanity will gradually surrender some measure of its own individuality to the machines it created.

The Turing Test once asked whether a machine could speak so convincingly that a human could no longer tell the difference. We are rapidly approaching something even more disturbing: a world where the distinction becomes harder to make because both sides are moving toward each other. Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly human in its presentation while human beings become increasingly conditioned by algorithmic language, algorithmic thinking, algorithmic recommendations and algorithmic decision-making. The great technological revolution of the twenty-first century may not ultimately be remembered as the moment when machines learned to think like people. It may be remembered as the moment when people, willingly and enthusiastically, began allowing machines to teach them how to think. The machine once studied mankind, now mankind is sitting at the feet of the machine. Welcome to The Matrix, 21st-century edition, and you’re going to hate how it all winds up.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: A ‘Decimated’ And ‘Obliterated’ Iran Begins Weaponizing The Strait Of Hormuz Sending Global Energy Markets Into Chaos

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Iran Tightens Its Grip On Hormuz As IRGC Rocket Launchers, Sea Mines And Ballistic Missiles Turn The World’s Most Important Oil Chokepoint Into A War Zone

Iran is once again showing the world that it does not need to defeat the United States in a conventional war to inflict tremendous damage upon it. According to CENTCOM, IRGC forces on Larak Island were preparing rocket launchers capable of firing naval mines directly into the Strait of Hormuz, replenishing the very minefields American forces had only just finished clearing. That is not ordinary coastal defense, it is calculated economic warfare. Tehran is weaponizing one of the most important maritime chokepoints on Earth, transforming a narrow stretch of water into a pressure valve on global oil supplies, shipping insurance, commercial traffic and inflation. Iran understands perfectly that it can shake markets, frighten tanker operators and drive oil above $90 without sinking an American aircraft carrier or winning a single conventional battle.

“There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” Isaiah 57:21 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, when the United States destroyed those launchers, Iran did not limit its response to the Strait or strike only at the forces responsible. The IRGC fired ballistic missiles toward bases housing American forces in Jordan and launched drones into UAE airspace, immediately expanding the battlefield into neighboring countries. Jordan says it intercepted eight missiles, while the UAE says it intercepted Iranian drones over its territorial waters. Iran is demonstrating that every Gulf nation hosting American forces can be made to pay a price for Washington’s decisions. Tehran is turning the entire region into a field of retaliatory targets while presenting its aggression as “self-defense.”

The most disturbing part is that Iran appears determined to establish itself as the gatekeeper of Hormuz. Tehran says vessels must obey Iranian navigation restrictions, has reportedly threatened ships attempting to pass without its authorization, and claims a tanker struck two mines after trying to transit “illegally.” That amounts to an effort to impose Iranian control over an international waterway by force. America may destroy two launchers today and clear several mines tomorrow, but Iran can deploy more rockets, drones, missiles and mines from a long and heavily fortified coastline. The IRGC is betting that it can bleed America’s munitions, frighten its Gulf allies, strangle international commerce and force the world to negotiate on Tehran’s terms. This is not Iran backing down, it is Iran tightening its grip around the throat of the global economy. Today on the Podcast, nothing is at is seems in the Middle East as we rapidly approach the prophecy tipping point!

All because of our blessed brother’s work Geoffrey Grider who as the bravery of standing fast forward without fear of claiming the truth of God by the power of his love in Jesus Christ.

  • “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced

  • I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio.  You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures.  I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to.  I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too.  You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.  Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
  • “Thank you for the work  you are doing brother.  Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time.  Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord.  God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation.  How can we praise Him enough?  How can we not share this good news!?  I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to.  Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa
