00:00:00.000 And when you vote next week, you are not just voting for who the president of the United States of America is, vital though that question may be.
00:00:10.720 You are voting for the leader of the free world.
00:00:22.220 Those words were spoken by the UK's populist party leader, Nigel Farage, at a rally supporting Donald Trump.
00:00:30.360 And now, with a second attempt on Donald Trump's life just a little while ago, the importance of this election has never been clearer.
00:00:41.360 But is today's America a force for good or for evil?
00:00:45.260 And does the Western world still deserve to be called free?
00:00:50.460 Either way, an election is an opportunity to stand for the truth, even in corrupt times like our own.
00:00:58.100 Cardinal Manning, a great 19th century churchman, and yeah, that's him there in the middle with the Dockers Union at the great dock strike of 1889.
00:01:07.860 Cardinal Manning once wrote, and I quote,
00:01:09.660 He continued,
00:01:23.740 So here is the reality about voting.
00:01:43.040 Sometimes we vote not because we believe in a candidate, but because we need to keep a worse candidate out.
00:01:51.100 Sometimes we vote for a candidate despite our contempt for a corrupt or downright evil political class.
00:01:59.460 And sometimes we vote simply because the consequences of not voting are unimaginable.
00:02:07.140 Since March of 2020, men and women worldwide have woken up to the fact that our governments no longer serve God or the people.
00:02:17.340 Our freedoms, our families, our jobs, and even our lives are held in contempt by those we elected to have our best interests at heart.
00:02:28.960 Our governments are actively seeking to harm us in numerous ways.
00:02:34.900 You know, here's just a few ways.
00:02:36.980 Mutilating children.
00:02:37.900 Tens of thousands of children have already been butchered in the name of gender-affirming care and a truly satanic ideology. 0.96
00:02:47.740 And LifeSite News is among its most steadfast opponents.
00:02:52.240 LifeSite News' defense of children has earned us a place on a hate list compiled by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.
00:02:59.720 Just two months after we reported that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had donated to that very group.
00:03:07.900 The so-called anti-haters have produced a guide on fighting fascism, the far-right, and haters,
00:03:15.840 which, in their eyes, includes you, and me, and everyone else standing up for life, faith, family, and freedom.
00:03:23.920 This radical left-wing group accuses LifeSite News of being a far-right organization.
00:03:30.680 We are, they say, anti-2SLGBTQ+.
00:03:37.580 You know, LifeSite News' only crime is to love all human beings and to respect each person as God made them male or female.
00:03:56.580 In his image and likeness.
00:03:59.940 De-platforming is one of the anti-hater's goals.
00:04:04.420 They define it as preventing opponents from reaching an audience and destroying their ability to spread a message, recruit, and fundraise.
00:04:12.240 And these people aren't above trying to fire, silence, and debank individuals like you for simply standing up for life, faith, family, and freedom.
00:04:26.160 You know, truth has a power of its own.
00:04:29.220 And in the end, it always prevails.
00:04:32.540 Nevertheless, our opponents will stop at nothing to take control over the narrative, especially at election time.
00:04:39.920 We are doing everything we can to help keep Christ in the election.
00:04:45.480 So please, if you're a U.S. resident, text LIFESITE, L-I-F-E-S-I-T-E, to 50155 and give what you can today.
00:04:56.240 Let's proclaim Christ is King together.
00:04:58.900 Free and fair elections give ordinary people a chance to take back control of their nations.
00:05:06.460 And so the globalists are determined that such elections will never take place.
00:05:14.160 That's why Facebook has set up an elections operations center to mitigate what they call misinformation.
00:05:21.920 As well as attempting to influence elections, big tech platforms like Facebook, Google, YouTube, and TikTok are censoring or removing accounts which they deem politically unacceptable.
00:05:38.480 AI censorship is another area.
00:05:40.880 The AI censorship industrial complex is the sinister collaboration between government agencies, corporations, and NGOs aimed at suppressing speech critical of globalist-aligned regimes.
00:05:56.200 Former Trump administration official Mike Pence has warned of, and I quote,
00:06:01.320 a new Manhattan project being developed by the State Department of the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community, end quote.
00:06:09.040 Listen to him.
00:06:10.580 There's thousands of people who are working on this new Manhattan project to constantly refine it.
00:06:16.820 They're getting huge amounts of government money to do it. 0.66
00:06:19.460 Now take a listen to what he says about how we're moving from needing hundreds of thousands of censors to something a lot more frightening.
00:06:27.980 You don't need hundreds of thousands of people to contain a narrative if you can simply use a few lines of code to blow up an entire narrative all at once.
00:06:39.920 He said that with these lines of code, the totalitarian regime of the New World Order will, or quote,
00:06:49.600 could wipe out millions of individual acts of speech all around the world, end quote.
00:06:55.040 All this should chill our blood.
00:06:59.060 If our enemies succeed in establishing their AI totalitarian system, the free flow of truth will cease.
00:07:08.480 And then there's the depopulation agenda.
00:07:11.760 Many of the world's most powerful think that there are too many of us on the planet. 0.76
00:07:18.240 But leading globalists want to eliminate 7 billion people like you.
00:07:24.000 More than 1 billion babies have already been murdered by governments and corporations.
00:07:29.520 And they plan to intensify the killing via abortion in the months ahead to meet their population targets.
00:07:39.240 And they are also coming for the elderly and disabled.
00:07:43.040 The euthanasia industry has won the right to kill around 400 million people worldwide,
00:07:51.140 including in major Western nations like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and some U.S. states.
00:07:58.660 Thankfully, most U.S. states and many powerful Western nations like Italy and the U.K.
00:08:04.080 continue to resist the death lobby's pressure on the euthanasia front.
00:08:08.520 This resistance is only possible because organizations like LifeSite News have succeeded in making the facts about euthanasia more widely known.
00:08:20.160 But if truthful media goes offline, there will be nobody left to hold back the crimson tide.
00:08:27.560 And then, there is, right now, the risk of World War III.
00:08:34.260 AI technology and new methods of censorship could be put to devastating use if war breaks out.
00:08:41.340 And if is quickly becoming when.
00:08:44.760 The Russia-Ukraine war continues to cost hundreds of lives every day.
00:08:49.400 And NATO is being drawn deeper and deeper into the conflict.
00:08:53.520 Poland plans to double its armed forces, and Germany is considering conscription for all its young men.
00:09:00.720 In the Middle East, Israel continues to pound Gaza.
00:09:04.520 Leading politicians are assassinated.
00:09:07.160 Pagers and personal devices are being detonated in Lebanon.
00:09:11.460 And Houthi rebels disrupt international Red Sea trade.
00:09:16.940 The world is a powder keg.
00:09:19.540 And one spark could set it all alight.
00:09:23.520 With two attempts on one candidate's life, we are always one bullet away from chaos.
00:09:30.720 But in these terrifying times, we must be clear where our true hope lies.
00:09:38.300 Jesus Christ is our only Savior.
00:09:41.200 There are no saviors among politicians.
00:09:43.440 Whatever the outcome of the next U.S. election and upcoming elections all over the world,
00:09:51.000 LifeSite News' fight for life, faith, family, and freedom will go on.
00:09:56.640 If LifeSite News is to have the capacity to continue in the face of the growing attempts to shut us down,
00:10:03.920 We must launch a major new technology project right now.
00:10:10.280 This major project will put in our hands the same technology which is used to evade the Great Firewall of China,
00:10:19.840 which the Chinese Communist Party uses to control the Internet and block access to websites
00:10:26.780 that these enemies of faith and freedom don't want people to read.
00:10:31.300 This new technology will mean that even if Internet service providers or governments attempt to block LifeSite News,
00:10:41.160 you will still be able to access all our websites.
00:10:45.660 Given that the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, which receives tax dollars from the Canadian government,
00:10:51.880 is already advancing its plan to shut down LifeSite News,
00:10:56.560 we need to be ready when we face similar attempts in the U.S.A. or in other nations.
00:11:03.680 We must make ourselves resilient enough to withstand whatever they throw at us.
00:11:09.260 However, the development alone of this absolutely crucial technological solution will cost $250,000.
00:11:17.900 And that's why I need to call on your help today to support this urgent project with a financial gift.
00:11:26.780 That's why it's so important that if you support our vital reporting,
00:11:31.840 you head over to give.lifesitenews.com today to donate to the fall campaign.
00:11:38.940 And as you can see on the screen, if you are a U.S. resident, you can text LifeSite, L-I-F-E-S-I-T-E,
00:11:48.040 to this number, 50155, and give whatever you can today.
00:11:54.460 Our opponents are terrified of LifeSite News because every day we bring more people to the truth.
00:12:01.580 If we can stay online, accessible to millions of people, our opponents will certainly lose.
00:12:07.880 That's because the truth is always much more powerful than lies.
00:12:14.000 They need to de-platform groups like LifeSite News because they know that if we are allowed to tell the truth,
00:12:22.160 even their own supporters will be convinced by what we have to say.
00:12:27.400 That's why it's more important than ever to bring our message to the whole world.
00:12:32.740 And with your support, we can do just that.
00:12:35.300 But LifeSite News is not only a powerful presence for truth online.
00:12:40.440 We are also proclaiming the gospel in the streets.
00:12:44.120 That's why we have been putting up billboards proclaiming that Christ is King everywhere.
00:12:50.440 Those huge 14-foot-by-48-feet billboards are giving public honor to the true King, Jesus Christ.
00:12:58.700 And so far, we've put these billboards in four locations.
00:13:01.900 Each one has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.
00:13:07.120 This image of the Sacred Heart belonged to my dad.
00:13:10.900 And as a child, I always felt the Lord's eyes following me.
00:13:15.420 Wouldn't it be amazing if we could bring people beneath the loving gaze of Jesus Christ
00:13:20.240 in all 50 states of the Union and in Canada?
00:13:23.880 Our proclamation that Christ is King has the power to touch even the coldest hearts.
00:13:32.020 As America goes to the polls, we must remember that Jesus Christ is our ultimate ruler and Lord.
00:13:39.140 The social justice warriors and enemies of truth are often broken people, psychologically and emotionally fragile.
00:13:46.400 They need Jesus Christ.
00:13:49.280 They need His gospel.
00:13:51.180 Deep down, they know that Christ can make them whole.
00:13:55.480 But like sick children, they're afraid of the medicine provided by the divine physician.
00:14:00.620 And that's why they want us silenced, censored, and suppressed.
00:14:04.880 And that's why we must continue to love them and continue to proclaim,
00:14:09.860 all the louder, Christ is King.
00:14:13.780 These billboards are being funded by supporters like you via our LifeFunder crowdfunding platform.
00:14:21.380 But unless this fall campaign goes well, we're not going to be able to keep up platforms like that.
00:14:29.820 You can see the text to donate instructions on the screen below.
00:14:33.980 Just text LIFESITE, L-I-F-E-S-I-T-E, to 50155 and go from there.
00:14:43.020 Will you support the mission of LifeSite News as we proclaim the kingship of Christ?
00:14:48.620 It is notoriously difficult to fundraise at the moment.
00:14:53.060 And with the cost-of-living crisis continuing to bite, that's even more the case this year.
00:14:58.800 When I was on the phone with our finance director, he told me that LifeSite News' expenses have continued to increase over the past year.
00:15:07.340 But the needs of the cause mean that we must complete these projects, as well as maintaining our full output before November.
00:15:17.840 That's why I have to ask you for your help today to support this urgent appeal.
00:15:24.620 Modest but essential donations in the order of $35 or $50 or $100 or even $500,
00:15:34.780 they actually make up the bulk of LifeSite News' funding.
00:15:38.840 And without these crucial gifts, we could not go on.
00:15:42.580 We could not go about our day-to-day business of telling the whole truth about the attacks on life, faith, family, and freedom.
00:15:49.640 Larger donations of $1,000 or $2,500 or $5,000 or more will have a very significant impact,
00:15:57.720 as the demand for more staff time and even additional personnel must also be considered.
00:16:04.680 That's why I urge you to help LifeSite News continue this fight.
00:16:09.900 Funds are needed urgently.
00:16:11.940 Please donate today if you can.
00:16:13.500 One last thing.
00:16:14.760 Lies cannot defeat the truth in the end.
00:16:16.740 Every day, LifeSite News brings victory one step closer.
00:16:21.580 And this is why they are determined to shut us down.
00:16:25.480 But with your support, we can stay online and bring the globalists' international reign of terror to an end.
00:16:32.240 So please give today.
00:16:33.700 Thanks again.
00:16:34.720 And God bless you.
