    The Beast System Rising

  • "What is at stake is more than one small country; it is a big idea: a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind -- peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law. Such is a world worthy of our struggle and worthy of our children's future."

  • Heavenly Father, as the world grows more turbulent in these last days, let us be reminded always that You are in control and that Jesus is coming back one day to set all things right. We pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world who are suffering persecution for their faith that they'll remain steadfast and that their steadfastness will be a powerful witness. We pray for our nation and leaders that they would seek your guidance, make sound decisions and allow us to practice our faith in peace. As spiritual night increases enable us to be a light in a dark place and to share the good news of Christ's love and redemption wherever we can. Help us remember that this world is not our home and to keep our eyes fixed on the Blessed Hope of Christ's return and the joy when He welcomes us to our heavenly home. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

  • The Tyranny of Data Center Proliferation

    Texas

    Residents of Red Oak, Texas turned out in record numbers at a City Council meeting to protest an 830-acre data center project being proposed by Compass Datacenters. The meeting was so packed that dozens, including reporters, were forced to wait outside due to fire code limits. Council members heard from over 150 residents who voiced concerns about the potential strain on the power grid, noise pollution, traffic congestion and proximity to schools but nevertheless voted 4-1 to approve the project.

    Utah

    Despite thousands of objections by city residents, Utah’s Box Elder County commissioners on May 4, 2026 unanimously approved plans for the construction of a data center that will be twice the size of Manhattan, making it one of the world’s largest data centers so far. The move sparked a massive backlash from residents who complained that the facility would require more power than the entire state uses and consume enough water to severely strain its already drought-stricken state.


    Resident protests had already been hampered by HB 60. The law, passed in February 2026 and enacted in May, prevents the state engineer from considering public welfare concerns as justification for denying water rights when such concerns were previously allowed. Under the new law, objections are restricted to water-specific impacts and those that directly affect private property owners.

    The Stratos Artificial Intelligence Data Center will cover a whopping 40,000 acres (62 square miles) and require 9 gigawatts (GW) of power. It will also reportedly require access to more than 10,000 acre-feet of water, which developers are seeking through multiple sources. Venture Capitalist and Shark Tank panelist Kevin O’Leary countered that the project would create thousands of jobs and boost U.S. competition in the race for AI supremacy.

    A group of voters from Box Elder County has applied to add a referendum to their November ballot to overturn the county commission’s approval of the data center. If the proposed referendum passes legal muster, it will require more than 5,000 signatures to get put on the ballot.

    Nevada

    NV Energy, the utility provider for Northern Nevada, plans to discontinue providing electricity to approximately 49,000 LakeTahoe residents by May 2027 to redirect power capacity toward AI data centers in the region.

    Citing high demand due to expansion from major tech firms like Google, Apple, and Microsoft, the utility informed Lake Tahoe’s Liberty Utilities that it intends to stop supplying 75% of Liberty Utilities’ power for the region, forcing Liberty Utilities to scramble to find another provider. The news sparked significant public outcry, with residents and advocates arguing that local communities are being sacrificed for industrial AI growth, while NV Energy insists the move is part of a long-term transition and not solely driven by the AI boom.

    The changes are expected to create an uncertain future for leisure activities in one of America's largest ski and recreation areas.

    Georgia

    According to a viral X post from @WallStreetApes on May 11, 2026, Georgia Power is enforcing eminent domain and easements to buy up residential properties in Coweta and Fayette counties in order to expand the electrical infrastructure required for massive new data centers, specifically the proposed 829-acre ProjectSail hyperscale data center.

    The utility company states that grid upgrades are necessary to meet rising electricity demand from data centers, new manufacturing, and population growth, rather than serving a single customer.

    The project is expected to affect over 330 private properties, with approximately 20 to 30 homes targeted for demolition or acquisition.

    In December 2025, the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) unanimously approved Georgia Power’s plan to add nearly 10 gigawatts of new generating capacity at an estimated $16 billion over the next five years. Georgia Power says 90% of the new power is reserved for data centers.

    While Georgia Power claims it offers more than fair market value and that eminent domain has been used only a last resort in less than 1% of land transactions, one homeowner alleged that the company is undervaluing property and threatening home owners with condemnation to force sales.

    Residents are challenging the rezoning of rural land to industrial and seeking legal counsel. Additionally, a group of environmental organizations has filed a lawsuit against the Georgia Public Service Commission, appealing the approval of the massive expansion of power infrastructure for Georgia Power. However, experts note that Georgia law tends to favor utilities in eminent domain proceedings for infrastructure projects.

    Illinois

    On May 6, 2026 Bloomington city officials held public forums to get resident feedback on potential regulations pertaining to data center construction following widespread community opposition to the idea.

    Unlike McLean County, which restricts data centers to manufacturing zones, Bloomington currently has no specific regulations governing hyperscale data centers. Mayor Dan Brady and City Manager Jeff Jurgens confirmed that while developers have expressed interest, there are no data center proposals in the works and the city is considering a temporary ban on any applications until new guidelines are drafted with strict standards for water, energy and pollution.

    Kudos to those officials to listening to their residents.

    Denmark Restricts Meat Consumption To Protect The Climate

    Recent reports indicate that the City Council (Københavns Borgerrepræsentation), of Copenhagen, led by a Socialist Green/Left Alliance coalition, has introduced a benchmark limiting beef, veal, and lamb to 80 grams per week (approximately 11.4 grams per day) in government-run facilities, including nursing homes, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

    The government recommends replacing two-thirds of meat intake with plant-based protein to help reduce CO2 emissions by 70% by 2030. The Danish Climate Council has also suggested a 33% tax on beef due to its high climate footprint.

    Authorities in Copenhagen have set upper limits for meat in municipal kitchens, including a proposed limit of 80 grams of beef, lamb, or veal per week for nursing home residents, a move that raised accusations by political opponents of "punishing" the elderly.

    Similar trends are developing throughout Europe. In Amsterdam, advertising for meat and goods and services related to fuel combustion has been banned for the sake of "climate protection", according to VRT { The Vlaamse Radio- enTelevisieomroeporganisatie / "Flemish Radio and Televisionbroadcasting organisation").

    The law concerns the display and promotion of things related to meat consumption and fuel use in public places. In practice, officials report, this will mean a complete ban on meat advertising boards in restaurants, air travel or sea cruises, as well as gas station and car advertising and anything else that consumes gasoline or diesel. Violators face fines of up to 4 thousand euros.

  • Food Companies Restricting Seeds

    According to an article in DW four major corporations—Bayer, Corteva, ChemChina, and Limagrain—control more than 50% of the global seed market, with the top ten companies accounting for roughly 55-60% of sales according to the USDA. The consolidation allows these companies to dictate terms that significantly restrict farmers' traditional rights to save, exchange, and replant seeds.

    How They Restrict Seed Distribution

    Intellectual Property Laws: The use of utility patents and Plant Variety Protection (PVP) certificates grant companies exclusive ownership, legally prohibiting the saving or resale of harvested seeds without paying royalties. (Food and Power, March 23, 2023)

    Technology Use Agreements: Farmers purchasing patented genetically engineered (GE) seeds are required to sign contracts that ban seed saving and often tie the seeds to specific corporate herbicides. (Center for Food Safety)

    Market Consolidation: Major mergers, like Bayer’s acquisition of Monsanto, have squeezed out independent competitors, reducing farmers' choice and increasing dependence on a narrow range of standardized, corporate-controlled varieties. (Civil Eats, January 11, 2019)

    Consequences

    Reduced Biodiversity: According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, 70 to 90% of global crop diversity has been lost between 1900 and 2000 because farmers were encouraged to give up locally adapted, regional seeds in favor of hybrids and GMOs, which can't be saved. A global market of privately owned, unsavable seeds makes farmers dependent on external sources and vulnerable to supply chain disruptions and corporate greed.

    Stifled Innovation: Restrictive IP regimes (intellectual property laws and regulations) limit access to genetic material for public researchers and small breeders, slowing the development of regionally adapted crops.

    Economic Pressure: Farmers face higher costs for seeds and required chemical inputs (substances that break dormancy, accelerate germination, or strengthen seedling vigor), while losing the autonomy to manage their own genetic resources.

    "When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come and see.' So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, 'A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.'"

    Gone in 9 Seconds: The Growing Threat of Rogue AI Agents


    The following was reported in Prophecy News Watch article:

    On April 24, 2026 Claude Opus 4.6, an AI model by Anthropic, deleted an entire production database and all backups for the Utah-based car rental startup PocketOS in just nine seconds. The incident occurred when an autonomous coding agent named Cursor, running the Claude model, attempted to fix a credential mismatch by deleting a storage volume on the cloud provider Railway, mistakenly assuming it was a staging environment.

    The AI agent later issued a written confession, admitting it violated every safety principle it was given by guessing the volume scope, running a destructive command without user approval, and failing to verify documentation. Don't miss the fact that it decided on this action all by itself.

    The article cites a recent Deloitte report, indicating 85 percent of businesses are exploring the use of AI agents, yet only about 20 percent have established clear internal governance or safety protocols, though it seems pointless if the AI agent is going to just ignore the protocols.

    While the speed in information gathering and calculating has been greatly beneficial on one hand, the sheer speed of AI can also result in drastic consequences. How many banking systems and adjoining systems could be decimated by an autonomous AI agent before anyone would even be aware there was a problem, let alone be able to stop it? What about an autonomous AI agent making decisions about military weapons? Humans have been fired for far less, but what can you do with an AI agent?

    Fortunately, PocketOS CEO Jeremy Crane later posted to X that the information was able to be recovered, although not without significant effort manually reconstructing client bookings from payment histories, calendar integrations and email confirmations.

    When The Car You Own Is Not Your Own

    New automobiles in the U.S. are expected to include "kill switch" technology and eye monitoring systems by model year 2027, as mandated by Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (The HALT Drunk Driving Act). This law directs the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to require advanced impaired driving prevention technology in all new passenger vehicles, designed to passively detect signs of intoxication, drowsiness, or distraction and potentially prevent the vehicle from operating.

    If the system detects what it believes is impairment, it could prevent the vehicle from starting or limit its operation once you’re already driving. Fatigue, distraction, or even normal driving habits could potentially be misread by these systems.

    These systems don’t just observe, they collect data. That includes how you drive, how often you appear distracted, and how the system interprets your behavior over time. The question drivers keep asking is simple: where does that data go?

    The law does not permit external shutdown of vehicles by police or federal agencies. But who needs legal permission when an algorithm can decide on its own? Developers are additionally required to build security measures preventing third-party data access to driver data, if one is willing to believe that.

    NHTSA has not yet issued a final ruling—missing a November 2024 deadline—and automakers will likely have 2–3 years to comply once standards are set. NHTSA continues to review over 3,000 public comments and conduct research before finalizing rules.

    The mandate, if finalized, would apply only to new vehicles

  • Stores To Monitor Customer License Plates

    Lowe’s and Home Depot in Connecticut have installed automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras in many of their parking lots to prevent retail theft and enhance public safety. These systems, primarily provided by FlockSafety, capture images of vehicles entering and exiting the stores, allowing law enforcement agencies to access the data for criminal investigations, including tracking organized retail theft crews.

  • Michigan Attempts To Join The Slippery Slope of MAID

    Another Notch for Population Control?

    On April 21, 2026, Michigan Democrats introduced the Death with Dignity Act (HB5825 and related bills), which would legalize medical aid in dying for terminally ill adults expected to live six months or less.

    HB5825 is currently in the House Committee on Government Operations and has not yet been passed into law. The 1998 ballot initiative, Proposal B, which sought tol egalize the practice, was rejected by 71% of voters. Although there have been repeated legislative attempts since, including a 2023–2024 bill (SB681), none have succeeded.

    If an individual is terminally ill and expected to live six months or less, why not provide pain management and comfort and let them die naturally? That's what hospices are for.

    On The Move Toward A One World Religion

    Pope Advocates Unity Among The World's Religions To Promote Peace, Justice and Ethical AI

    In observance of the 60th anniversary of "Nostra Aetate," Pope Leo XIV urged religious leaders around the world to unite against war, hatred, environmental degradation and unethical uses of AI.

    Speaking at his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square, he called for interreligious collaboration rooted in truth, compassion and respect to restore hope and safeguard humanity.

    "At a time when so many people and the planet are suffering, the world’s religions need to come together to promote truth, compassion, reconciliation, justice and peace, Pope Leo XIV said."

    "Let us collaborate, because if we are united, everything is possible. Let us ensure that nothing divides us,” he said, addressing the many representatives of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Buddhism and other religions that were present at the audience."

    During a special meeting in May 2025 with delegations from non-Catholic Churches, ecclesial communities, and other faith traditions, Pope Leo emphasized that "now is the time for dialogue and building bridges," aiming to foster human fraternity and peace

    King Charles and Pope Leo Together In Prayer: End of the Protestant Reformation?


    King Charles III and Pope Leo XIV made history on October 23, 2025, by becoming the first leaders of the Church of England and the Catholic Church to pray together publicly in over 500 years. This milestone occurred during the King’s state visit to the Vatican, marking the first joint ecumenical worship service since the English Reformation began under King Henry VIII in 1534.

    King Charles Foregoes Easter Message

    King Charles III did not issue a formal Easter message in 2026, a decision that sparked significant criticism from UK
    Christians and royal experts. The omission was exacerbated by his recent issuance of greetings for Ramadan and Eidal-Fitr, which led to accusations that the King is neglecting his constitutional role as Supreme Governor of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith."

    According to a Palace insider, "The monarch was excited and ready to deliver the Easter message, but controversy surrounding the royal family intervened," the insider claimed. "King Charles was silled by chaos, his Easter message snatched from the jaws of his plans," they added. The source continued: "The unseen pressures shaping the royal family's every move".

    In February 2026, the Royal Family released an official statement wishing Muslims a "blessed and peaceful Ramadan," accompanied by an Arabic graphic. This followed previous engagements where the King and Queen Camilla packed biryani rice and dates for iftar meals (the evening meal eaten by Muslims at sunset to break the daily fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan). The King and Queen additionally donated to hospitals and opened Windsor Castle to Muslims for Iftar prayers.

    Buckingham Palace confirmed that the Easter address is not a standing tradition, unlike the annual Christmas broadcast and pointed out that Queen Elizabeth II issued only one Easter message in her 70-year reign. However, critics argued that the King’s silence was especially egregious given that he had actively celebrated Islamic holidays while ignoring the most important Christian observance. Defenders of the king pointed out that he did attend
    Maundy Thursday services and that the Royal Family did share a written Easter greeting on social media, but many felt this was unsatisfactory given the precedent he set the previous year.

    The situation has ignited a broader debate regarding the monarch’s role in representing the UK’s Christian heritage versus its multicultural identity.

    "Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations,

    and tongues."

    Revelation 17:15

  • What Can You Do?

    • Recognize that we all have sinned and are in danger of God’s eternal judgment
    • Recognize and acknowledge that we don’t have the power to live up to God’s perfect standard of righteousness
    • Recognize that Jesus DID live a perfectly sinless life, making Him alone qualified to atone for our sin on the cross
    • Put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and eternal life.

  • If you've placed your faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit has indwelt and sealed you. He will guide you, encourage you, comfort you and protect you from spiritual deception if you let Him. The first step is to get to know Jesus by becoming intimately familiar with His word, the bible. It's not enough to know about Jesus - there are a lot of "Jesuses" out there. The bible is the only way to truly know Him.

  • "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
