⁣The Rapture Was Invented in 1830. Here's Proof.

The pre-tribulation Rapture the belief that Jesus will secretly return to evacuate Christians before a period of great tribulation is the single most recent major doctrine in Christianity. No Church Father taught it. No medieval theologian. Not Luther. Not Calvin. Not Wesley. Nobody until John Nelson Darby in 1830. One man invented it. One Bible (the Scofield Reference Bible, 1909) spread it to millions. And novels and movies turned it into the default eschatology of American evangelicalism. This video traces the full history and reveals the one Greek word in 1 Thessalonians 4 that Rapture theology completely ignores.

“I write this email knowing that many of you will think I’m crazy after reading it,” Bateman wrote in the email’s first sentence. From there, the entrepreneur claimed, without any basis, that “for 300 years the Jews have been trying to infiltrate the Catholic Church and place a Jew covertly at the top,” and that such an effort had succeeded with the inauguration of Pope Francis. The email also made unfounded claims that both Covid and its vaccines would deliberately destroy people’s immune systems. “I believe the pandemic and systemic extermination of billions of people will lead to an effort to consolidate all the countries in the world under a single flag with totalitarian rule,” Bateman wrote. The email shared other unfounded conspiracy theories about the vaccine’s effects, adding that “everything is being expertly censored,” even as the email contained links to websites making similar claims.

⁣Hillary Clinton and the entire D.C. elite global child trafficking ring is Pizzagate.

Originating from Podesta/Hillary emails (RIP Seth Rich). Pizza or "[C]hees [P]izza" or "[C]hild [P]o*n," has been used as a "code" for CSAM way before Pizzagate. Pizzagate is essentially just the name given for the D.C. elite global child trafficking operation That was exposed.

Breaking down Pizzagate and the dark pedo square operation. This is Pizzagate and the USAID operation in D.C. and how wealthy elites and corrupt government officials used front companies and NGOs to launder money and traffick and abuse children. It was all right out in the open. This was the one specific block in D.C. where it all went down and is just a fraction of the entire Satanic child trafficking cabal and a piece to the entire Pizzagate scandal.

Let's start off with the map and all the convenient locations of all these businesses that are just feet away from each other that are all owned by some of the wealthiest, most powerful, far-left leaning people in D.C. A perfect little setup for laundering money and trafficking children.

Starting with Comet Ping Pong, owned by James Alefantis who's name in French eerily translates to "I like children," uses known FBI confirmed child sexual predator symbolism in their menu and artwork in the building, and has one hell of an odd social media page, hinting at some sick activities allegedly taking place at these businesses.

Comet Ping Pong was used as a distraction but the business itself and James Alefantis are allegedly highly involved in the trafficking of children, which most definitfely happens at that location. "allegedly."

Servers with a secret, password protected website was found connected to Comet Ping Pong with download keys need to unlock and view a selection of thousands of encrypted videos and pictures.

James also owns "Bucks Fishing and Camping," which is directly next store. You start to wonder why James denied there was a basement when you see multiple pictures of them online digging tunnels in the basement of Comet, which was even called out on Joe Rogan's podcast. I wonder what they are for James?

Next to "Buck's Fishing and Camping," you have "Besta Pizza." Besta Pizza is owned by Andrew Kline, who surprisingly worked under the Obama administration and also had FBI confirmed, child predator symbolism right in their business logo.

The logo was immediately changed after PizzaGate went mainstream, and people publicly called out Besta Pizza. So you work in government to "save" children but have a blatant child sexual predator symbol right on your business logo? Please.

Sounds like an easy way to avoid detection because "you work for the government." Also, Besta Pizza in Portuguese is translated to Beast Pizza. Satanism and child abuse go hand in hand. You should know this by now, especially if you follow my work and others in the field.

"Politics and Prose" is next, which is co-owned by Lissa Muscatine and her husband. Lissa is close friends and would write speeches for Hillary Clinton and is also a major donor to Hillary and the Democrat party. She also has ties to Barack and Michelle Obama, along with many others, including James Alefantis from Comet and Andrew from Besta Pizza.

Across the street you have "Tersol and Bistro," who is also friends and donors to the Clinton's and the Democrat party, and once again, also had FBI confirmed child sexual predator symbolism on their menu and then removed it after it was caught by the public during PizzaGate.

Lastly, just in this one block radius in D.C., you have "Beyond Borders" which in a 5013c non-profit connected to, you guessed it, the Clintons, their Foundation and Haiti, where over $13 BILLION dollars was raised all together, including through the Clinton Global Initiative and Foundation that ended giving less than 3% to Haitians and building the people of Haiti only 6 houses in total, while allegedly stealing the rest of the money that they raised.

No victims in Haiti ever received a dime of the taxpayer funds that went through USAID and the Clinton Foundation. Chelsea Clinton's $3 million dollar wedding was also allegedly paid for with taxpayer funds that were supposed to go to the Haiti victims from the earthquake.

The Clinton Foundation was also tied to child trafficker Laura Silsby/Gayler, who attempted to steal children on 2 different times, the 2nd time attempting to steal 33 children and was caught, again.

The Clintons hired a lawyer for Laura, who, you guessed it, was also caught and prosecuted for trafficking children as well. Everything is connected. This is why exposing USAID was so important and was connected to the trafficking of children and laundering of taxpayer dollars.

You are seeing certain information come out for a reason. There are no coincidences.

In 1924, Philips, Osram, General Electric and other giants formed a secret cartel called Phoebus to deliberately shorten the lifespan of light bulbs. They agreed that no bulb should last longer than 1,000 hours — otherwise profits would drop.

Ever since the televised debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump on Sept. 10, Springfield, Ohio, has become an epicenter for ferocious anti-immigrant attacks. As he struggled to regain his footing against the vice president, Trump dredged up disproved claims promoted by his running mate, J.D. Vance, who said that Haitian immigrants in Springfield were eating dogs and cats.

Stay informed with FP’s news and analysis as the United States prepares to vote.

The false allegation, as New York Times columnist Lydia Polgreen argued, tapped into some of the worst nativist sentiment. “There is a long and grim tradition of demonizing Haitians in the United States,” Polgreen wrote, pointing to how the claim revolved around two cherished elements of life, food and pets. Polgreen argued that the situation is a reminder of the threat a second Trump term would pose. “In his elevation of something akin to blood libel against a group of blameless legal immigrants who came to America from their strife-torn nation in search of a better life through hard work… he has proved himself a dangerous and malevolent figure.” Indeed, anti-Haitian sentiment is deeply rooted in American culture, dating back to the Haitian revolution of 1791-1804, when there was a strong reaction against the overthrow of French rule. This rhetoric has frequently included accusations of animal consumption, as well as cannabalism.

As polls demonstrate that immigration remains a top concern for many American voters, Trump’s rhetoric in recent weeks has only become more toxic. At a rally on Long Island, New York, he warned his adoring crowd: “They’re coming from the Congo. They’re coming from Africa. They’re coming from the Middle East. They’re coming from all over the world—Asia. A lot of it coming from Asia. What’s happening to our country is we’re just destroying the fabric of life in our country. We’re not going to take it any longer. You got to get rid of these people. Give me a shot.”

Besides circulating a dangerous and toxic set of illiberal ideas that has caused Ohio officials to station guards at the Springfield schools and prompted two local colleges to go remote, Trump’s narrative erases the city’s real lesson for the United States: how immigrants are revitalizing decaying economic areas that have been left behind for decades.

Like places in many other so-called Rust Belt states, Springfield had been a city that struggled as the new high tech, financial service-centered economy took hold in the 1990s. But now, Springfield is booming. The recent history of the city shows not why immigrants are a threat to existing populations, but why they are part of the solution to economic decline and malaise.

This has been the history of immigration in the United States since the founding, and it remains just as important today as ever before.

For much of the 20th century, Springfield, Ohio, located about 45 miles from Columbus, was one of the thriving small cities of the Midwestern United States. Manufacturing had been at the heart of the economy since the late 19th century. In 1902, when the companies that produced Champion harvesters joined with several other brands in the merger that created International Harvester Co., more jobs and money came to the community with the production of agricultural machinery.

In addition to International Harvester, the local economy benefited from the presence of the Kelly-Springfield Tire Company, Crowell-Collier Publishing Company, and several other businesses. Though it was certainly not New York, Chicago, or Columbus, Springfield embodied the kind of bustling small city that was at heart of the American Century.

But like many of these cities, the area suffered greatly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as factories closed and jobs went overseas. Between 1970 and 2020, the population fell from more than 80,000 to less than 60,000.

When Newsweek magazine sought in 1983 to capture for readers what was happening in this increasingly economically desolate section of the country, it zeroed in on Springfield; the editors said it had once been a “dream city.” The magazine
