This Week In The News
Current Events
by Norbert Link
We begin with the killing of a US citizen by an ICE agent in Minneapolis and the twisted reactions, while the Truth is suffering and many times ignored. Especially empathy by “Christian” commentators and politicians is woefully missing. The specter of civil war is on the horizon.
We also report on Pope Leo’s attack on Trump and Putin; and Trump’s ongoing military threats against numerous countries while, at the same time, complaining that he was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. We are in particular focusing on the volatile situation pertaining to Greenland which could destroy the NATO alliance.
We are also speaking about the events in Iran and Germany’s shameful silence; and we conclude with Robert F. Kennedy’s complaints about German dictatorial measures, especially during COVID; and Germany’s unconscionable and antiquated prohibition of homeschooling.
Please view our new StandingWatch program, titled, “Germany’s Refusal to Accept Guilt for Authoritarian Corona Measures.”
Throughout this section, we have underlined pertinent statements in the quoted articles, for the convenience and quick overview of the reader.

Recently, Elon Musk (the world’s richest man) claimed that Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the near future will create a reality where there will be an abundance of goods and services, which in turn will make money useless.

Everyone will be able to have “universal income” and AI will create a “good future where anyone can have whatever stuff they want.” He also stated that AI in the next 5 years will become so advanced that we will have “better medical care than anyone has today” with “no scarcity of goods and services. You can learn anything you want about anything for free” (compare Moonshots with Pete Diamandis).

What is the history of the Life of Christ and the Church of God? (Part 3)
In the first part of this series, we discussed the time of the birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ, and the birth of the New Testament Church in 31 AD.
In the second part, we discussed events and developments in the New Testament Church and concluded with the first imprisonment of Paul in Rome, which ended in 62 AD.
To continue with the chronology of events, in 62 AD, James, the half-brother of Jesus Christ, was killed during a brief period when there was no governor in Jerusalem. The high priest was subsequently deposed. James was condemned to death by the Sanhedrin. He was thrown from a high pinnacle of the Temple, but did not die from the fall, and was then stoned and beaten to death with a club.
In 63 AD, after his release, Paul wrote 1 Timothy and Titus. Around that time, Luke wrote the book of Acts, which ends with the imprisonment of Paul in Rome for two years.
