Endgame: Covid, Dark State & Bio-Digital Convergence

Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Dennis Behreandt

Synopsis: Dennis Behreandt is a writer, the publisher of The New American magazine, and author of Endgame: Covid and the Dark State Quest for Bio-Digital Convergence in a Transhumanist World.

Covid-19 has been the agent for a massive transformation of our society and the freedoms and individual rights we hold dear. Consider all that’s unfolded in the government’s response to COVID. We have been told which businesses were essential and which were not. The government response has forever impacted our economy, our transportation systems, our energy infrastructure, our educational institutions, our health care system, our free exercise of religion, the censorship of free speech, and a desire for control never before witnessed by many in our lifetime.

Dennis speaks of the 3-fold guiding ideological beliefs behind those in power: 1) The belief that humankind, collectively, is fundamentally flawed, but could be improved by eliminating the flawed and perfecting the rest. 2) There are too many people in the world and this puts the world at risk. 3) New technologies will create new hordes of unnecessary [nonessential] people.

Our guest today addresses these and other issues in his book, End Game: Covid and the Dark State Quest for Bio-Digital Convergence in a Transhumanist World.

Prophecy Focus on Israel

Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Dr. Richard Schmidt

Synopsis: At just over 8,000 square miles (a bit smaller than the state of New Jersey), Israel is a very small nation. So how and why would such a small nation impact the world in such a major way? Viewing that question from Scripture we see that they have impacted the world in the past. However, they're also impacting the world in the present and will be doing so in the future as well.

There are some remarkable things taking place in Israel and the Middle East right now and joining Jim to discuss this was Dr. Richard Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church and also heads Prophecy Focus Ministries. He is speaker on the WVCY-TV program "Prophecy Focus" and the radio program, "Prophecy Unfolding." Prior to his current pastoral ministry, he spent 32 years in law enforcement, including that of Acting Sheriff of Milwaukee County until his retirement in 2019. He's the author of several books including Are You Going to a Better Place?, Daniel's Gap: Paul's Mystery and Tribulation to Triumph: The Olivet Discourse.

So why does a nation with such a small footprint and population (Just under 9 million) have such significance? Dr. Schmidt commented that God made it clear that the Jewish people are his chosen ones and that he created 4 specific unconditional covenants with Israel.

On the current news front, five red heifers have been flown to Israel from Texas. Many in Israel are celebrating that these five heifers have shown up as they've been looking for 2,000 years for perfect, unblemished red heifers. Keep in mind, they have to be 2 years old, never had a yoke on their backs, and were never used for labor.

Covid Shot Mandate Victories

Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Mat Staver:

Synopsis: What good does your phone call or e-mail to legislators make? Does it really make a difference when you appear before groups such as a school board or city council? What you may not be aware of is that push-back like this is definitely having an impact.

Joining Jim with details surrounding some examples of how push-back is making a difference was Mat Staver. Mat is the founder & chairman of Liberty Counsel. He is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The broadcast began with breaking news that Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was going to step down at the end of the Biden administration, is now accelerating his departure as he’s announced he’ll be leaving in December of this year. Mat believes this may have to do with the change that is likely to be taking place in both the House and the Senate in November. After all, it’s likely Fauci will be investigated for policies going all the way back to the Wuhan lab and his funding of “gain of function” research.

Concerning COVID shot mandate victories...

North Shore University Health System–

North Shore denied all religious accommodations across the board. They gave some medical exemptions yet denied the religious ones. Once Liberty Counsel pointed out that this would be discriminatory and a violation of the law, North Shore even began revoking some of the medical exemptions.

Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit and the health system decided to settle via the nation’s first class-wide settlement against a private employer over the COVID mandates. It’ll be over 10.3 million dollars and involve about 500 healthcare workers. Employees involved will not only get compensation, they’ll be able to get their jobs back with the same seniority as well as religious accommodation.

U.S. Marines (Jab or Job)–

Liberty Counsel has been in court multiple times pressing the issue of class certification because there are thousands that have issues concerning COVID mandates in the military. This was especially important in the case of military personnel because unlike those outside the military, those within can’t simply leave as they’d be declared AWOL and prosecuted. In essence, it was either jab or job!

These individuals gave religious accommodation requests and were demeaned (black-balled). When someone is considered unvaccinated, the others don’t want to be around them because it would interfere with their promotion. This had resulted in the unvaccinated being shunned or given menial tasks. Others have been stranded overseas and unable to come back to be with their families. In other words, these individuals have been held hostage until they succumb to the pressure to get the vaccines.

Last Thursday, Liberty Counsel received a class-wide certification for the Marines and a class-wide injunction that will give these military members protection.

The battle, however, is not over. Mat explains why, and callers presented their views, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Brace Yourselves: American Decline & World Control

Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Gary Kah

Synopsis: Gary Kah is founder and director of Hope For the World. He’s editor of Hope for the World Update, the former Europe & Middle East Trade Specialist for the Indiana State Government and is also author of the books, Enroute to Global Occupation and The New World Religion.

This broadcast began with discussion concerning information Gary received from a former military intelligence and high tech individual who believes that it will be a difficult summer in the U.S. Both this individual and Gary believe that the globalists will use even the latest Roe decision to try and cause more calamity, chaos and division.

Gary also believes there are those who are deliberately trying to take America down. He wasn’t trying to be disrespectful when he said that he feels sorry for the president and that he isn’t “all there”. This can be seen by his script cards which tells us that he has handlers around him telling him what to do. Gary believes many of these advisors are of a radical, far left, globalist worldview. Therefore, in order to bring America down through a great reset, the U.S., as we know it, has to be dismantled.

Gary let listeners know that as long as people can function in relatively comfortable fashion, he believes that a majority in the U.S. wouldn’t be keen to the idea of stepping into a one-world system that might limit freedoms. However, if we see major food and energy shortages and continued supply chain disruptions and perhaps on top of that another pandemic with even greater restrictions, he feels people might completely rebel. That could pit the far left and the far right in a war. Gary feels if that would occur, that’s when our foreign enemies would probably step up to attack us. The other possibility is that people get so frustrated that they finally capitulate and give in to the new world order.

This Crosstalk has much more to offer as Gary reveals details related to this issue including:

• More on possible shortages, specifically food and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).

• Is global health governance far off?

• Wars and rumors of wars.

• The CEO of Nokia declares that 6G will be here by 2030 and will make smart phones obsolete. What will the next interface be?

The Christian and Self-Defense

Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Pastor David Brown :

Synopsis: The 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution says, ‘A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’

Since our 2nd Amendment grants the right to keep and bear arms, is it ever right for a Christian to shoot another individual? What about those that say we just need to ‘love one another?’ In all of this, aren’t we just supposed to trust God? How can one claim to be pro-life and pro-gun at the same time? Isn’t that a contradiction of terms? Should a Christian even own a gun? Does the Bible address this issue?

To look at this controversial topic, Crosstalk welcomed Pastor David Brown of the First Baptist Church in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Pastor Brown has a Masters in Theology and PhD in History, specializing in the history of the English Bible. Pastor Brown has recently marked 50 years in ministry with 40 of those at his current church.

Pastor Brown does not feel gun control is the answer to gun violence. He communicated that people control is the answer because you can make all the laws to control guns that you want, but the problem is that criminals don’t follow the law. On the other hand, those citizens who do abide by the law have both a biblical right, along with a Second Amendment right, to self-defense... More at VCY America | Crosstalk

Senate Poised to Vote on Marriage

Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Mat Staver:

Synopsis: Mat Staver is Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. He is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The sanctity of marriage is under attack by the current Congress. Last week 47 Republican House members abandoned their party platform, traditional values, and the very essence of marriage as ordained by God to join forces with liberal Democrats in an effort to destroy the Defense of Marriage Act which was passed with a large bipartisan majority and signed into law by former President Bill Clinton.

It appeared that's where the act would stop until now as steam is picking up in the U.S. Senate. It seems a number of Republican senators are also willing to jump ship as the ship plots a course to run aground to the peril of the nation.

The Distortion of Islam

Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Usama Dakdok

Synopsis: During a recent search on the Internet, Jim found the following topics that caught his attention. One was titled: 10 Reasons Why Islam is the True Religion. Another was called, 7 Proofs to Know Islam is the Truth and another one had the title, Evidence Islam is Truth: 159 Articles.

So there's all this information alleging that Islam is the truth. However, according to Usama Dakdok, Islam is anything but truth. In fact, he believes Islam has distorted the truth.

Usama Dakdok is the founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He's the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. He speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur'an into English. He is the author of Exposing the Truth about the Qur'an and Exposing the Truth About Jihad.

Speaking concerning deception, Usama began by noting that when you talk about "miracles" in Islam, Allah is very clear in the Qur'an that he didn't send to Mohammed any miracles. However, Western Muslims, particularly in about the past 20 years, are creating miracles for Mohammed from everywhere and he noted that if people really knew the truth behind it, they'd not only leave Islam, they'd laugh at it.

Jim then had Usama talk about an illustration from this month. It's the festival of sacrifice known as Eid al-Adha. The Muslim justification for this festival is derived from chapter 37 in the Qur'an. In some respects this account mimics that of Abraham's sacrifice from Genesis 22.

Review this edition of Crosstalk to find out what the differences are between the two accounts and why they are critical as they pertain to the believer's salvation in Christ.

World Shakeup!

Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Alex Newman

Synopsis: A world shakeup is underway. Boris Johnson and numerous members of Parliament have resigned from office in England. Naftali Bennett has resigned as prime minister of Israel. The former prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, was assassinated. Just hours ago in Sri Lanka, the president resigned, fleeing the country on a military plane as protesters stormed his office. Russia's war against Ukraine is now in its 5th month. The Vatican recently announced that it has formally joined the Paris Climate Accords and President Biden has sent American oil reserves to China.

What's going on here? Returning to Crosstalk to provide answers was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American and contributes to other publications as well. He is author of Crimes of the Educators and Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes. He's Founder of Liberty Sentinel.

There are forces that would like to do some very unthinkable things such as giving the U.N. veto power over the U.S. Supreme Court. According to Alex, this is part of the goal of turning the U.N. into a type of world government that would have veto power over its member nations and policy decisions. In other words, the U.N. general assembly would become a sovereign parliament.

Alex noted that they move toward this goal in incremental steps. In the European Union he documented this process as it happened. A few years ago, the EU, through a very illegitimate treaty, was able to grant itself the power to veto the policies and budgets of nations.
