"The same teachings that led to the French Revolution—all are tending to involve the whole world"
At the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine, but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the world-wide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution—all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed France.
Education, Ellen G. White, p. 228.

P.S.
The uninformed critics of Ellen G. White and her prophetic visions can now confirm that Mrs. White's prophecy of the ever increasing protests and riots in France (then spread throughout Europe) were in fact truly inspired.
Furthermore, have any Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Episcopalians, Pentecostals, Catholics, Mormons, or even Jehovah's Witnesses foretold any events like the current Protests that started in France and has spread throughout Europe like Wildfire?

Americans are watching the same events unfold, yet coming away with completely different versions of reality. How did we get here?
In this video, I expose the psychological forces shaping how Americans perceive the world, from media manipulation to the engineering of competing realities. What we're witnessing isn't just political division. It's a battle over how Americans perceive reality itself.

Top reactions from Christian leaders to 'catastrophe' of midterms: 'We are under God's judgment'

The midterm elections delivered a devastating generational defeat to the Republican Party as Democrats swept races coast to coast last week, regaining both houses of Congress, flipping six governors' offices and seizing hundreds of seats in state legislatures.
Evangelical voter turnout saw a marked decline this year compared to previous elections, leaving some Christians reeling from the overwhelming victory of the Democratic Party, which some discern has grown overtly hostile to biblical Christianity as it cozies up to far-left socialism, LGBT ideology and Islam.
"It is heartbreaking that the Evangelical vote did not show up this year. The sad result is hundreds of pro-abortion, LGBTQ advocates and antisemites just won races all over America," Gary Bauer, president of the Virginia-based conservative advocacy organization American Values, told All Israel News.
"The church is committing political suicide," he added.
Here are some of the top insights from Christian leaders about the potential reasons behind the GOP's electoral wipeout, the spiritual implications of rising left-wing power and how Christians ought to navigate a darkening political culture.

At least 7 Muslims win election to Congress, a record
(RNS) — Their election wins come amid an increasingly hostile political environment for Muslim American candidates.

(RNS) — A record seven Muslims were elected to Congress, six to the House of Representatives and one to the Senate.
Early Wednesday (Nov. 4), Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive Michigan Democrat, made history as the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate. The son of Egyptian immigrants and a former public health official, the 42-year-old was repeatedly scrutinized and attacked for his faith. President Donald Trump labeled him a “jihadist” and claimed, without evidence, that El-Sayed was on the side of Muslim terrorist groups.
“Islamophobia backfired,” said Fatima Salman, a close childhood friend of El-Sayed who fundraised and campaigned for him. “Today is a day of joy, of celebration, and we need that moment because we have been under so much pressure for so long.”
Incumbent Democrats André Carson of Indiana’s 7th district, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota’s 5th district, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan’s 12th district and Lateefah Simon of California’s 12th district all secured reelection to the House. Two Democrats, Dr. Adam Hamawy in New Jersey’s 12th district and Darializa Avila Chevalier of New York’s 13th district won election for the first time. Aisha Wahab, a Democrat elected to Congress in an August special election, is leading in the race to secure a full term in California’s 14th district. As of 3:42 PM, AP has not called the race. If she wins, the final tally of Muslims in Congress would rise to eight.
Keith Ellison, Minnesota’s Democratic attorney general, in 2006 was the first Muslim elected to Congress. He left Congress after being elected Minnesota’s attorney general in 2018. The previous high for Muslims serving in Congress at once was five.

International gathering in Jerusalem brings together non-Jews who follow the seven Noahide laws to establish shared identities, institutions and communities

Solia Centeno de Baglivo says her spiritual search began when she was five years old.
Today a lawyer and mother of two in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, she was raised in a Catholic home but always harbored religious doubts. During the COVID pandemic, she began connecting strongly to Jewish philosophy, but converting to Judaism wasn’t an option.
“Talk of converting put a strain on my marriage, and the political climate in Bolivia made that path very difficult,” Centeno told The Times of Israel, speaking through a translator. “There was a lot of social disapproval.”
But online research led her to the Noahide World Center, an organization that seeks to unite non-Jews dedicated to living according to the Torah’s universal principles. With the agreement of her husband — and her father’s deathbed wish for her to follow her own path — she declared herself a Noahide and began teaching others. Today, she has helped develop a community of 40 Noahides in Bolivia, and is working to spread the word to others.
Centeno was in Jerusalem in early November for a conference dedicated to people like her — the First International Congress of Noahides, held by the Brit Olam organization on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. Some 50 self-identified Noahides from around the world came together at the Seven Arches Hotel to connect and debate how to create a global community with common practices and identity. The Times of Israel attended a reception open to Jewish guests.
“People today need an entire world of spiritual morality and behavior, and that can only come from the Torah in Zion,” said Brit Olam chairman Rabbi Oury Cherki, explaining the movement’s mission. “We are now collaborating in our love of God to build a better world together.”

Welcome to Part 2 of our exclusive interview with Christian filmmaker Chris Pinto of Adullam Films on The Ryan Files. In this second half, Chris continues to connect the dots between hidden history, Jesuit influence, globalism, the push for a one world religion, and Bible prophecy. If you thought Part 1 was eye-opening, tonight's episode dives even deeper into historical records, geopolitical subversion, and how ancient warnings are playing out in our world today.
We explore the Vatican's historical influence on global intelligence networks, the origin of the "social justice" doctrine, the secret history behind the Lincoln and JFK assassinations, and what the Bible says about the rising globalist agenda in the Book of Revelation.
“The Global Capital of Protestantism” — Peter Thiel Recruits Nashville Against Pope Leo XIV
“The Global Capital of Protestantism” — Peter Thiel Recruits Nashville Against Pope Leo XIV
In a secretly recorded lecture, JD Vance’s top donor called the Catholic Church a dubious ally and told Nashville to fight. Fifteen days later, Catholics swung 21 points and voters sided with Leo.

Peter Thiel saved his last word for the city that hosted him.
Closing the fourth and final night of his Antichrist lectures at Nashville’s Masonic Temple on Oct. 19, the billionaire who bankrolled JD Vance’s political and professional career told the crowd that people kept asking him why he had come to Nashville at all. In that question, he said, he heard “a mild inferiority complex.”
“I want to shake you out of that,” Thiel told them.
He then handed the city a mission. Nashville, Thiel said, was “arguably the global capital of Protestantism” and “the center of a place with no center.” He told them not to leave “finance, technology, and politics to other people in other cities.” “And if you give up on the battle of ideas,” he added, “you will simply lose.”
His closing order was blunt: “get over your inferiority complex and fight.”
We know what Thiel said because someone in the hall taped it, and Nashville’s top reporter got hold of it.

Progressive Christians are turning doubts over Republicans’ moral credentials into electoral gains
Poppy Wood US Correspondent, in Austin, Texas
Published 08 November 2026 11:58am GMT
When James Talarico took to the stage as Texas’s first Democratic senator since 1988, he asked his audience to remember “that story from scripture of a shepherd boy who goes up against a giant”.
The trainee pastor, who swept to victory on Tuesday night, said Americans could also learn a few lessons from “a barefoot rabbi” who lived 2,000 years ago. Staff members congregating around him on stage waved signs saying: “Love thy neighbour.”
Faith will move mountains, so the Bible says. And, as it turns out, it will also move the electorate.
For decades, religion in the US has been seen as the preserve of the Right, with Republicans traditionally viewed as the party of Christian values – particularly among evangelicals. But a suite of significant wins for religious Democrats in this year’s midterms suggests that may be about to change.
Five clergy members and pastors-in-training were elected to Congress for the Democrats on Tuesday. Alongside Mr Talarico were Adam Hamilton, a Methodist mega church pastor elected as senator of Kansas, and Sarah Trone Garriott, a Lutheran minister voted in as a congresswoman in Iowa.

America has walked out of the UN climate racket. The rest of the world hasn’t gotten the message.
Next month, some 100,000 politicians, bureaucrats, functionaries, activists and other grifters will descend on Antalya, Turkey (COP folks prefer Türkiye) for COP31, the UN’s annual climate Conference of the Parties. They will fly in, talk endlessly, and enjoy the best hotels, food, beverages, and hospitality Recep Tayyip Erdoğan can offer. Then they’ll fly home having plotted how to pry trillions more out of whatever wealthy nations are still willing to pay.

Then they’ll fly home having plotted how to pry trillions more out of whatever wealthy nations are still willing to pay.
Türkiye will serve as a “bridge” between developed and developing countries. Co-host Australia will push global “clean energy acceleration” — the very policies that are crippling its own citizens’ energy reliability, jobs, economy, and living standards.
Like COP30, this will be an “implementation” conference, focused on turning existing commitments into “investment-ready projects,” especially by browbeating reluctant, once-wealthy nations into financing it all with trillions more dollars. The agenda hasn’t changed: “clean” energy, electrifying everything that now runs on “evil” fossil fuels, slashing methane and (plant-fertilizing) carbon dioxide emissions, and a new “Climate Implementation Bridge” to turn plans into projects, which, by the COP31 president’s own admission, comes with no new funding to pay for those projects.

The UN climate summit, COP31, is underway in Antalya, Türkiye from 9 to 20 November 2026.
World leaders, negotiators, activists, scientists, business leaders, Indigenous Peoples, and civil society will come together to confront one of the defining challenges of our time: climate change.
UN Climate Change Conferences (or COPs) take place every year, and are they are the only decision-making forum where the world comes together to agree on the actions to address the climate crisis, such as limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, helping vulnerable communities adapt to the effects of climate change, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
The Misuse of René Girard by Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance and the American Right
From Philosophy to Power:
The Misuse of René Girard by Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance and the American Right
By Paul Leslie
This past summer, I was surprised to encounter a face I knew in two most unexpected places. The first was in a photo montage accompanying an article written by Josh Kovensky of Talking Points Memo in the wake of J.D. Vance becoming the Vice Presidential nominee, entitled “A Journey Through the Authoritarian Right.” Arranged in the collage among images of a ripped man with lasers shooting from his eyes, of anti-democracy blogger Curtis Yarvin, and of Peter Thiel rubbing Benjamins between his thumb and forefinger, was my former professor and friend from Stanford University, René Girard. I was in France at the time; mere hours after reading Kovensky’s piece, I saw through the window of a taxi René’s face again—this time in the form of a larger-than-life decal on a light rail car in Avignon, where as it happens he is one of a dozen local heroes permanently celebrated on the new transit system. What do the medieval, culturally-rich, Provençal city of Avignon and the American authoritarian right have in common? Both claim a bond with this influential philosopher and member of L’Académie Française, who died in 2015. Only one of the claims is legitimate. The misappropriation of Girard’s ideas by the American right is not just a matter of academic concern; it has significant implications for our political discourse and society.
As it turns out, I know exactly where this illegitimate claim to Girard’s legacy started. For several years in the 1990s, I was part of a small reading group that met bi-weekly on the Stanford campus in a trailer left over from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The group—a kaleidoscope of visiting scholars, a few former students and some of Girard’s campus friends—was led by Girard himself, and though he was already an influential thinker at the time, and though his theories and ideas pervaded our discussions and were the reason we gathered, one member of that intimate group of ten or so has gone on to eclipse Girard in terms of visibility and political influence: Peter Thiel.
That Thiel participated in this study group has been noted in a small subset of the countless articles that reference his connection to Girard. Journalists, podcasters, and young entrepreneurs alike have hoped to find in Thiel’s acknowledged devotion to Girard’s work a master key that, properly handled, could unlock the mystery of Thiel and explain everything from his success as a venture capitalist to his 2016 endorsement of Donald Trump. That some wannabe billionaires have ordered Violence and the Sacred or Deceit, Desire and the Novel from Amazon and scanned its chapters in search of an “open sesame” to affluence is as surreal a proposition as it is doubtless something that actually occurs—the aspiring mogul’s equivalent of clicking on one of those “one weird trick” links that promise a hack to making money and improving your health.
