By Karine Keyser — Coordinated explosions tore across Iran Saturday, and nobody knows where they came from: U.S. drones? Mossad bomb plants? Internal opposition forces? Whatever caused the blasts in Bandar Abbas, Ahvaz, Karaj and Parand, they appeared to target Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities — which following Russian policy of housing troops together, make it easy to kill by the dozens. The simultaneous explosions represent a signal to the repressive Islamist regime that they can’t stop the onslaught despite Chinese and Russian defense systems. At the same time, they are a signal to the people of Iran that help…
By Karine Keyser — Baby Rider has been shot by the Iranian Regime. Nineteen-year-old Diana Bahador from northern Gonbad-e-Kavus — who had 150,000 followers on Instagram and loved to break the law by riding a motorcycle around AND by not wearing a headscarf — was shot in the head twice on Jan. 8, according to Hyrcani Human Rights group. She had been participating in the uprising that the regime put down with heavy weapons. Diana is the human face of the greatest massacre in modern Iranian history as the people — tired of repressive rules and rocketing inflation, tired that…
By Karine Keyser — Explosions all over Iran appear to be taking out military production sites and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps bases on Day 9 of the uprising that threatens to overthrow the repressive Islamist terror government after 46 years of Machiavellian rule. A “dairy” factory was shown on video to billowing black smoke with hot red flames that indicated that more than milk was actually produced there, as show on Tousi T.V. Speculation is that Mossad agents have developed a list of targets, just as it did prior to the June air raids that hit ballistic missile sites, nuclear…
By Karine Keyser – After threatening to leave his wife for pestering him to convert to Christianity, Mohsen Kazemi had a dream. A man in Iran in his old neighborhood with red hair and a red beard told him: “Change your way of thinking.” “Two nights later, I had a dream; Jesus standing here with a white robe with pierced hands and he’s looking at me very compassionately and deeply,” Mohsen recalls. “I said to him, Why do you say Jesus is the son of God? He looked at me very compassionately and he says, Change your way of thinking.”…
By Karine Keyser— After committing suicide and going to hell for eight hours, previous Buddhist Steve Kang came to Jesus and became an evangelist. “(The devil) came to me and he’s talking to me like I’m talking to you,” Steve said. “He comes to me and says, ‘Steve, I know you’re having a hard time. If you offer your life as a sacrifice, kill yourself. I will give you 50,000 less years of Hell.’” Today, Steve Kang is the leader of the global ministry Revive the Nations, which trains church ministers and plants churches around the world. He also is…
By Karine Keyser — Four Muslim leaders in Sweden reportedly embezzled collectively $100M in school vouchers and other government funding to pay for lavish lifestyles — including visits to sex clubs in Thailand — and founding a jihadist political party in Somalia. Abdirizak Waberi, Somalian by birth Swedish by naturalization, was a member of parliament 2010-’14 and was principal of the independent Muslim school association Römosseskolan Association in Gothenburg, where he exploited Sweden’s generous voucher system to fund trips to luxury hotels in Nigeria and sex escapades in Thailand, as charged. Part of the $1.2M ($13M Swedish krona) allegedly embezzled…
By Karine Keyser — Psychiatrist Douglas Kelley thinks he knows how the Nazi high command tried at Nuremberg became monsters — that is, until he spends 90 hours interviewing them in a secret military prison. Ultimately, only one was found insane, unable to stand trial. The rest of the 22 prisoners were — disturbingly — normal people. The Nazis were “people who exist in every country of the world… who would willingly climb over the corpses of half of the public if they could gain control of the other half” Kelley said in his lectures in America afterwards. “The capacity…
By Karine Keyser— Trying to prove religion was a gimmick, MIT Professor Rosalind Picard surprised herself by becoming a Christian. “I realized that religion is not at all what I thought it was,” Picard said on The Veritas Forum. “There were some really interesting and very attractive elements that were very historically verified.” Today, Rosalind Picard is a born-again Christian, and she continues to learn how her love for science and her faith work together. She is Grover M. Hermann Professor of Health Sciences and Technology at MIT, founder and director of the Affective Computing Research Group at the MIT…
By Karine Keyser— A former leader in the Church of Satan, Riaan Swiegelaar, is warning people, including many Christians, about the demonic realities of celebrating Halloween. “What we are doing if we are celebrating Halloween as Christians, you are actually having a one-night stand with the devil,” he said. “That’s a simple way to put that.” After having a hands-on experience with the Holy Spirit, Riaan became a born-again Christian, and he continues to share his testimony and warn people about the practices highly endorsed by the Church of Satan. “I think an important thing to say to start with…
By Karine Kaiser — A reporter for Pilgrim Dispatch asked AI about a drag show in Palm Springs on Aug. 4, 2022 in which a kid jumped on the stage and started dancing, only to be showered with dollar bills. Was it sexualized? he asked. (The reporter who argued with Gemini was not this journalist.) Gemini responded that negative responses to the transgender’s posting was evidence of “right-wing hate,” sadly requiring additional security to be contracted for future events. While giving lip service to criticism, Gemini mainly defended the woke position. “Supporters of the events argue that these are isolated…
