The White House pressed Facebook to censor Fox News host Tucker Carlson for saying “vaccines” “don’t work,” according to a document released by Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana.
“Since we’ve been on the phone – the top post about vaccines today is [T]ucker Carlson saying they don’t work. Yesterday it was Tomi Lehren [sic] saying she won’t take one,” White House Director of Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty reportedly said in an April 14, 2021 email to an unidentified Facebook employee, which was posted on Twitter by Landry.
Landry along with Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt suedthe Biden administration in federal court on May 5, claiming that members of the administration colluded with social media companies to suppress debate on the 2020 presidential election, the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues. The court ordered the Biden administration to turn over communications between officials and the tech companies in July.

“This is exactly why I want to know what ‘Reduction’ actually looks like – if ‘reduction’ means ‘pumping our most vaccine hesitant audience with [T]ucker Carlson saying it doesn’t work’ then… I’m not sure it’s reduction!” Flaherty continued in the document released by Landry.
In response, the unidentified Facebook employee reportedly told Flaherty that they were “running this down now,” according to the document posted by Landry. Landry’s post did not note how the document was obtained.

“This feels slightly like they are preying on the bereaved.” That’s an understatement! This is wrong on so many levels, I don’t know where to start. And Steve and Sarah Berger can claim to be Christians but there is nothing Christian about this
You can be sure that profiteers will pay to have Mary, Peter, dead popes, Billy Graham and likely Jesus Himself, made into virtual entities that will communicate with anyone willing to pay for the experience. And that is all it is, a false experience, designed to deceive the desperately grieving.
The Lord wants us to turn to Him in Spirit and in Truth (not demonic virtual communication) for guidance and comfort in our distress!
We continue hearing of so many people who are renewing their faith in the Lord since COVID hit, out of grief over someone they lost. The last thing they need is to interrupt that process by continuing on in a relationship with a phony likeness of their loved one!
Sickening, not surprising, but sickening. This is an abomination before the Lord, another in an endless list of them these days.
A would-be home intruder is spending some time in Bosque County jail thanks to the quick actions of a Texas homeowner.
Bosque County deputies responded to a call at approximately 6:50 p.m. on Tuesday, which reportedly involved an attempted burglary.
The alleged assailant, William Strauser, wasn’t going anywhere. He was shot in the leg and was being held at gunpoint when law enforcement arrived at the scene.
The Bosque County Sheriff’s Office stated in a Facebook post that “Upon arrival, deputies found a [white male] laying on the sidewalk in front of the residence with the homeowner holding the suspect at gunpoint.”
The homeowner was then disarmed by the deputies, who then gave medical care to Strauser.
He was wounded in his upper right leg, and was transported to the local hospital.
The alleged attempt to break into the homeowner’s residence didn’t go as Strauser had planned, but it wasn’t for lack of trying.
“The homeowner stated that the intruder rammed his vehicle through the locked gate, accessing the property, and approached the residence front door, aggressively attempting to break into the residence,” the sheriff’s office said.
And while Strauser is still innocent until proven guilty, Bosque County police didn’t mince words on what had likely happened:
“Evidence at the scene supports this statement.”
Strauser and the homeowner reportedly knew each other, making this not just another luck-of-the-draw home invasion.
When released, Strauser was taken to the Bosque County Jail and charged with “Attempted Burglary of a Habitation / Criminal Mischief and Criminal Trespass,” per the Facebook post.

Castle doctrine laws generally assert that that a person’s home is their “castle,” and as such can be legally defended from attack.
“Some state laws say that you have a duty to retreat from an aggressor before you can legally act in self-defense,” the Shouse California Law Group noted. “But with the castle doctrine, you do not have to adhere to this duty when in your home.”
The God-given right to defend oneself is acknowledged in Texas. Fortunately, law enforcement on the scene didn’t seek to vilify the homeowner for exercising that right.
It’s difficult to say what might have happened between these two individuals if Texas didn’t have such a law.
This entire ordeal is a strong reminder about the truth of gun ownership in America: Guns really aren’t the problem.
This reminds me of Steve and Sarah Berger’s book, “Have Heart: Bridging the Gap between Heaven and Earth” They wrote the book after loosing their son in a car crash. The difference being that the Bergers are Christians and should know that our Lord does not allow communication between the living and the dead(necromancy).
A Korean artificial intelligence firm has made the ‘ghoulish’ vision a reality
They insist the controversial service will help friends and family cope with grief
Expected to cost between £10,000 and £20,000 to create a virtual person
Software can even answer questions from the grieving and share past memories
But now a Korean artificial intelligence firm has made that ‘ghoulish’ vision a reality, insisting the controversial service will help friends and family cope with grief.
The technology uses machine learning to process images, audio recordings and video footage of recently deceased people to create a virtual version that can interact with the living, as if on a video call.
Called re;memory, the software can even answer questions from the grieving, and share memories from the past.
Seoul-based DeepBrain AI showcased the service at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It is expected to cost between £10,000 and £20,000 to create a virtual person, then £1,000 each time a loved one wants a conversation with it.
Business development manager Joseph Murphy acknowledged that the service was controversial. ‘We’ve already found it to be really polarising,’ he told The Mail on Sunday. ‘Some people love the opportunity to live on forever in this way, but many people view it as inauthentic.’
But he added: ‘People like that they can share their memories after they’re gone and they want their family to remember them in a healthy state.’
He suggested re;memory was best suited for people with terminal illnesses such as cancer who could spend several hours in front of a camera to allow the software to learn their mannerisms and collect voice data. Subjects are also encouraged to write journals about their lives, including childhood memories, to be saved into the system.
Family members can then visit the company’s studio to speak to the replica loved one after their death. When prompted, the avatar can recite extracts from their journal or interviews. Murphy says the results are realistic. He said: ‘You might ask it “Tell me about the time you met Dad”, and the virtual person will be able to tell the story in full. The more they journal, the more realistic the experience will be.’
But Sue Gill, a volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Support, said: ‘This sounds bizarre and ghoulish.
‘Lots of people, when they know they are dying, write letters or journals or make recordings. That’s using modern technology at its best. This feels slightly like they are preying on the bereaved.’
The service has been launched in Asia and the US, with plans to open in the UK soon. Last year, another firm, LA-based StoryFile, created a digital version of Marina Smith, 87, which talked to mourners at her own funeral in Nottinghamshire. Source
As a follower of Christ and His Word, I believe that this AI software is very creepy and very wrong. We have the blessing of knowing that we will see those who were born again in this life, in heaven one day. We know that our God forbids necromancy. Don’t let the world and the devil tempt you to disobey God.
And please understand that the ones who do communicate with the living are not loved one who have passed away. These are Satan’s demons pretending to be loved ones. This is the devil’s specialty – Deception!
