The final presidential debate is over and the election is now a week and a half away. As the long building political storm shifts into its higher gears, we are faced with many great challenges and even greater opportunities.
This week we continued releasing short clips taken from longer videos in an effort to introduce important ideas and start conversations. Our YouTube channel and Instagram feed have been gaining steam and generating a lot of encouraging feedback.
Here are the latest examples of short clips that we've been sharing on those platforms:

Election Day or Election Season? Chris Farrell, former counterintelligence case officer and Director of Investigations & Research for Judicial Watch, is developing predictions for November 3, 4 and 5. His latest: “Election night results indicate a Trump victory. The Left wants to keep counting and counting and counting ballots until they get the number that lets them claim victory -- they want election "season." “Trump and his campaign have sufficient state election returns and polling data to claim victory. Trump tweets: "VICTORY!" Twitter takes it down and locks his account, and those of his campaign. He goes out to the campaign hotel ballroom for a victory speech and only OneAmerica News Network carries the speech. Trump's proclamations are branded "fake news." Zero coverage. Networks and other news media outlets show poll workers and election officials counting and counting and counting "contested" ballots. The news media and the social media giants will not let Trump win. That is not the headline they will allow. Efforts by the Trump campaign to claim victory and certify election results are subjected to endless lawsuits -- all of which are reported on by media outlets, because Trump has (supposedly) been caught cheating, of course.” A total of 353 counties in 29 U.S. states have 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens, according to an analysis by Judicial Watch.
How Badly Does Iran Want the Biden Machine to Win? During the Obama-Biden Imperium, Iran benefitted directly from White House interventions, funding, diplomacy, and support, including cash transfers of some $1.7 billion US dollars. Now the Feds say Iran is behind a hacking effort to help Biden and harm Trump. Federal officials claim that Iranian threat actors are behind email campaigns that targeted Democratic voters this week with threats to “vote for Trump or else.” The campaigns claimed to be from the controversial Trump-supporting Proud Boys organization. Two specific email campaigns — one on Tuesday Oct. 20 and one on Wednesday, Oct. 21 — threatened Democratic voters in Alaska, Arizona and Florida that attackers accessed “all of your information.” They warned that there would be dire repercussions if voters didn’t cast their ballot for President Trump in the upcoming election, according to a Wednesday Proofpoint report.
Winter food supply, 2021 Journalist Robert Wheeler writes that China is entering a food insecurity problem which will affect the US. “China is claiming,” he writes, “that it is not in a food crisis currently and it is attempting to reassure the population that it has enough wheat in reserve to feed everyone for a year. But the reality is different from the claims, as China’s pork prices rose 135 percent in February, and floods killed so many vegetable crops. And it’s true that China’s government may not view the food crisis as the biggest concern. Instead, it views political unrest as the biggest threat. Political unrest, unfortunately for the Chinese Communist Party, is a direct result, especially in China, of food insecurity. Both of its major political disruptions – the 1950s and 1980s – came at a time when food was in scarce supply. But, for now, China is attempting to convince its population to embrace austerity voluntarily and through social shaming (like America’s masks) in order to stave off the crisis a little longer. World Food Program economists have already estimated that 270 million people globally are suffering from hunger this year. That’s more than twice last year’s amount. That number does not include China, the United States, and Europe as they are all considered food-secure countries.”
6.5 Billion Reasons American Universities are Dangerous Professor Michael Anton has said, “Higher education is the most fundamentally evil and destructive system of institutions in the nation today. It actively works to harm the citizenry, to harm society, to attack virtue and to attack culture.” How is this system sustained? By tuition paid by parents who don’t research the places their children will spend formative years, and by controlling donations of America’s enemies. According to a new study by the Department of Education, American Universities failed to report $6.5 billion in foreign gifts and contracts from China, Saudi Arabia, and other hostile nations seeking to control academic content at the recipient schools. How Does the World See This Religious Murder? There is no evidence that French police detained or interviewed the persons defaming the assassinated French teacher Samuel Paty, even after Paty had filed a formal defamation charge against the parent circulating lies about him. The police, however, did summon Paty for questioning four days before his murder. Further details were published October 21 in Mailonline. “Paty was beheaded by 18-year-old Chechen Aboulakh Anzorov who lay in wait for two hours outside the Bois-d’Aulne school with two boys who identified the teacher in exchange for £300.” Anzorov then followed Paty as he walked home from work, stabbing and beheading him with a 12-inch knife. Before police arrived at the scene, Anzorov uploaded video and photos of the attack to other ISIS supporters. A Twitter post attributed to Anzorov included a severed head photo and stated, “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From Abdullah, the Servant of Allah, To Macron, the leader of the infidels, I executed one of your hellhounds who dared to belittle Mohammed, calm his fellows before you are inflicted harsh punishment.” Anzorov was shot to death by police after he reportedly fired an airgun at officers and tried to stab them. How did Islamic leaders respond to the killing of Paty? Here are a few stories noticed by The Middle East Media Research Institute: These are the kinds of questions and subjects that we plan to explore in future videos and on the Stand Up And Lead Podcast, which you can check out by clicking here or on the graphic below. |

“The reason people allow themselves to be pushed around is the order provided by even the worst rulers ensures they have shelter, food and a predictable amount of safety. The big talk about preferring liberty to safety is just that, as people always choose safety over freedom, if those are the choices.” — Thomas Luongo | ![]() |
“Rule by force is unsustainable. It is why the ruling class must maintain its legitimacy. The crisis we see today is a crisis of legitimacy, where a growing portion of the public questions the legitimacy of the system.” — Michael Anton | ![]() |

How do we live when the present is confusing, the future unseeable, we have little knowledge about what is going on, and it is difficult to
obtain trustworthy information? Romans 1:17 reminds us that the just shall live by faith. II Corinthians 5:7 says we walk by faith, not by
sight.
