SUPPRESSED: New Evidence of Early Man
In the early sixties, discoveries were made in Central Mexico, which were the handiwork of early man. Exquisitely carved animal bones and advanced spear points caused much excitement, including a Life Magazine article, until the dates came in. 5 mutually exclusive geological tests revealed they were over 250,000 years old. In spite of the geochronology, archaeologists insisted the dates were too ridiculously old. This world-class archaeological region became off-limits for official research, a "professional forbidden zone." This is the story of the events that occurred, told first-hand by many of the actual participants. It reveals how one field of science can conflict with another and how new discoveries must battle evidence vs. belief, exposing what some have called "the dark side of archaeology."  movie (1:25:26)

What Has Happened to America?
By Charlie Daniels: Something has happened to America in the last couple of decades: a large part of the population has conceded its future to a government that grows bigger and more intrusive every day. Rather than take their heads out of the sand and admit that they are passing along a fiscal monster that's going to devour the prosperity of foreseeable generations, they choose to accept:

  • The eternally and historically flawed methods of socialism that are being promoted by a president who seems determined to change the very essence of the American Dream,
  • A sold-out Senate,
  • A Congress whose leadership blinks every time there's a confrontation, and
  • A Supreme Court that's about one appointment away from being a presidential rubber stamp.

Another Christian Accused of Blasphemy in Pakistan
Christians in Pakistan continue to live as a persecuted minority community in the South Asian country. Making up only 2% of Pakistan's 180 million people, Christians are often discriminated against by their Muslim counterparts and are disproportionately the targets of false blasphemy accusations. In the final week of October, another Christian man was falsely accused of blasphemy and has been arrested. For this crime against Islam, this man could face life in prison or a possible death sentence. Please pray.

‘Miracle’ Statue of Jesus Rises in the Midst of Syrian Battle Zone, Inspiring Christians
Christians in predominantly Muslim societies are often regarded as foreigners rather than fellow citizens. They have often been associated, often incorrectly, as proponents of American culture or policies, and are seen by Islamists as surrogates and targets. The decline of American influence since 2009 has fueled the perception that attacks and American targets and surrogates - minority Christian communities - will go unpunished. This perception is usually accurate, and further contributes to the escalation of violence against Christians, which may clearly be seen in the smoke and ashes of the Syrian War. However, in the midst of this despair, an image of Christ rises on a lonely hillside with the express purpose of giving hope to the beleaguered Christians in a tiny village. Only this statue is able to be placed not from the exercise of American influence but from a deliberate exercise of Russian power. The Russians are advancing a diplomatic and security agenda which prioritizes protecting Christians in the historical homes, doing the job the America and Western Europe seem to have abandoned.

Congressman Calls for Secretary Kerry to Meet With Wife of Imprisoned Chinese Christian

He was first detained in 2009 and currently remains imprisoned in China, having reportedly been tortured on multiple occasions. A meeting between Kerry and Gao's wife, Geng He, would send a strong signal to China that human rights issues are becoming a higher priority for the United States.

Nigeria Has World’s Largest Christian Minority
