The next major product from Apple, the Reality Pro VR headset, is mere weeks away from launching – and an early review suggests it will live up to the hype.

In early 1994, there was a buzz about something that was going to ‘change everything’, called the ‘information superhighway’, and when it was released the internet did just that. It ushered in the personal computer age, and the world was never again the same. Here in 2023, there is the same buzz about Apple and AI and it is going to get this old sin-cursed world in line with Bible prophecy.

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4 (KJB)

I can well remember the excitement of being able to send real-time messages to people through my AOL Instant Messenger, and the thrill of being connected to the entire world. Soon, people will be interacting with holograms so realistic it will be like you are in the room with the people you’re talking to. The machines are waking up, our computers are becoming self aware, and you are stepping out of the headlines and into the pages of Bible prophecy.

Early review of upcoming Apple VR product suggests it will live up to the hype

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Palmer Luckey, the 30-year-old American entrepreneur and founder of the Oculus VR platform, appears to have tried the device. Luckey, who sold his firm Oculus to Meta for $3 billion (£2.4 billion) in 2014 at the age of 21, simply said in a tweet on Sunday: ‘The Apple headset is so good.’

Official details about Apple’s device are scarce, but it’s believed it will display notifications, messages, directions and more in front of the wearer’s eyes.  It’s not known how or where he got to try the device, although Luckey is a big name in the VR industry. Luckey, who began Oculus when he was just 15, is a video game enthusiast and owner of a defence company called Anduril Industries, founded in 2017. More recently, he devised a headset called NerveGear that instantly ‘destroys the brain’ of the user when they die in a virtual game.

Thankfully, Apple’s new headset – which is expected to be called ‘Reality Pro’ and released later this year – will not be quite as deadly.

Publicly, Apple has made no acknowledgement of the upcoming device, but its existence is an open secret within the tech industry. A US leaker called Mark Gurman, who has been drip-feeding information about it in his weekly newsletter for months, says it could ‘replace the iPhone’.

Reality Pro will be launched on Monday June 5, the first day of Apple’s five-day Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), Gurman claims.

Apple confirmed the dates for WWDC in March but didn’t make any official mention of the headset in the announcement. However, Apple’s promo image for WWDC this year features curving coloured lines that look similar to the curved shape of a headset. READ MORE

The US Navy invited an active-duty drag queen Joshua Kelley to be a ‘Digital Ambassador’ – as part of a recent drive “to attract the most talented and diverse workforce” and combat plunging recruitment.

With the passing of each and every day, America becomes more and more like unto Sodom, and unto Gomorrah, we are living in the ‘Vanity Fair’ of The Pilgrims Progress. The scary part is that as this wickedness rises, we are normalizing it, so comparatively speaking things don’t really look all that bad. But things are bad, very, very bad. So bad it’s biblical.

“Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.” Isaiah 1:9 (KJB)

Where is all this happening? Everywhere. “Everywhere, you say? Certainly not in the Church!”, you reply. It’s happening especially in the Church, in the Evangelical church, in the Charismatic church, and in the Baptist church. Soon it will be a crime to ‘misgender’ someone, and a crime to use the wrong pronouns. Look at this article sourced below from the right-wing and highly conservative NY Post, America’s oldest newspaper. What do you see? You see the right-wing and highly conservative NY Post referring to the non-binary drag queen Joshua Kelley as ‘they’ and ‘them’. What does that tell you? It tells you that everyone is bowing to the altar of woke in the Days of Lot, they are afraid and running scared.

Don’t you do it, this is a battle, this is a war. Occupy till He comes.

US Navy hires active-duty drag queen Joshua Kelley to be face of recruitment drive as ‘digital ambassador’

FROM THE NY POST: Yeoman 2^nd Class Joshua Kelley, who identifies as non-binary, was appointed as the first of five Navy Digital Ambassadors in a pilot program that ran from October to March.

Kelley, whose stage name is Harpy Daniels, has shared their journey on TikTok and Instagram, where they described how they began performing onboard and became an “advocate” for people who “were oppressed for years in the service.”

“From joining to 2016 and being able to share my drag experience on my off time with my fellow sailors has been a blessing,” Kelley wrote on Instagram in November when announcing their appointment as a digital ambassador to their more than 8,000 followers.

“Thank you to the Navy for giving me this opportunity! I don’t speak for the Navy but simply sharing my experience in the Navy! Hooyah, and let’s go Slay!” they added.

The ‘Digital Ambassador’ program that Kelley took part in ran from October to March and was “designed to explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates” as the Navy battles “the most challenging recruiting environment it has faced since the start of the all-volunteer force,” a Navy spokesperson told Fox News.

The service branch is evaluating what form the program, which included five active-duty personnel, will take in the future, the rep added. READ MORE

It appears that 2023 could be remembered as the year that marked the beginning of a new financial crisis as the banking system is insolvent here is Phase II of the Great Reset

I live here in Florida in America’s oldest city, Saint Augustine, a gorgeous little place where they film Hallmark Movies and to where millions of tourists flock to every year. Southern Living Magazine just named Saint Augustine the best small town in the south, it’s a great place. But spend a little time here and you will see how crazy expensive things are, rents have doubled, mortgages skyrocketing if you can get one, a cheeseburger, fries and a drink is $20, and none of these things have anything to do with how popular Saint Augustine is. In just about one year’s time, everything went nuts and it’s happening all over the country. This was all planned.

“There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.” Isaiah 24:11 (KJB)

Make no mistake about it, as we have told you before on the Podcast, we are in Phase 2 of the Great Reset, and in this phase the banks are being taken over so a digital currency can be brought in. In the article below you will see how many banks have already failed, with many more on the way, and how there is right now runs on the banks not seen since the Great Depression. But all this may not be the worst of our problems. In Russia, Putin survived an assassination attempt on his life by a Ukrainian drone that exploded over the Kremlin, and he is vowing revenge. Nuclear revenge.

Yes sir, 2023 just may be the year. 23 Skidoo!!

Banking bailouts won’t prevent a financial crisis

FROM UNHERD: When Silicon Valley Bank and Signature collapsed in March, optimists argued that this was an idiosyncrasy driven by the banks’ large holdings of startup deposits. Shortly afterwards, when Credit Suisse fell, Americans shrugged it off as a foreign bank. With the bailout-buyout of First Republic by JP Morgan over the weekend, the prospect of a general banking crisis is being taken more seriously by the markets.

Earlier this week there were sell-offs in multiple bank stocks. PacWest tanked 42%; Western Alliance plunged 27%; and Metropolitan Bank fell 20%. Comerica and Zion Bancorp followed the pack, both down nearly 10%. The KBW regional banking index, which tracks smaller regional banks, fell 7%. Markets are finally waking up to the fact that a large portion of the banking system is potentially insolvent — around half of it, by some measures.

The banking system is insolvent due to reckless central bank policy. Following the last financial crisis in 2008-09, central banks engaged in wild monetary experiments including quantitative easing (QE), which drove interest rates down to record lows. It is debatable whether these experiments had much of an impact on economic growth, but they certainly led to extreme overpricing in asset markets. QE juiced almost every financial market, from the stock market to the housing market to the market for used luxury watches. With the wave of bank failures, these markets will now likely experience heavy losses.

The bank failures themselves not only drove up the price for risky assets like those just mentioned, but also the price on riskless assets. Investors typically identify certain assets, like government bonds, as relatively lacking in risk. Governments print money, after all, so they can always pay back their loans. This means that banks feel comfortable holding large amounts of these riskless assets, and regulators are happy to let them.

But the QE policies have turned these riskless assets into risky assets. By driving interest rates on government bonds down substantially, the central banks have made these bonds sensitive to increases in interest rates. With central banks now raising rates to try to stamp out inflation, the price of these assets is falling off a cliff.

The losses have spooked depositors, who are now heading for the exit. Data shows that in the past few weeks we have seen the biggest run on deposits since the beginning of the Great Depression. So far, this has mainly impacted the smaller, regional banks. Those holding deposits at these banks that are larger than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limit of $250,000 are scared that the bank will collapse, and that they will lose their money. When the depositors take the cash and run, the bank soon collapses.

The recent use of bailouts and assisted buyouts may become increasingly difficult as more banks come under pressure. The only solution then will be to guarantee all deposits in the banking system.

Doing this, however, would be tantamount to the Government giving a blanket guarantee to all holdings of capital. With such a free insurance policy in place, investors could take as much risk with their investment as they saw fit — after all, if the investments go bad, the Government will pick up the tab. Economists call this problem “moral hazard”.

Yet, even then, the damage to the economy has likely already been done. Credit standards are now tightening rapidly, meaning that lending to the real economy will soon seize up. Consequently, businesses will pull back on investment and people will stop buying houses. At this point, unemployment should start to creep up as layoffs start in the construction sector. A recession should follow in short order — likely accompanied by a full-blown crisis.

The long-term legacy of this situation could be a partial socialisation of the banking system, though. After the last financial crisis, central banks around the world engaged in an unprecedented monetary experiment. The impact of this experiment on the real economy was uncertain at best, and past a certain point the central banks appeared to be doing the QE policies just to demonstrate that they could. But these policies had costs, and we are now seeing those chickens come home to roost. Just don’t expect mea culpas any time soon from the people in charge. READ MORE

Here’s why the current banking crisis is very different
