The popular home furnishings chain IKEA has announced that it will be hoisting the rainbow flag at its stores nationwide beginning June 1 in observance of Pride Month, and will also sell rainbow reusable shopping bags that will benefit the homosexual advocacy group Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRCF).
“We are excited to partner with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation for Pride Month,” Rafael Fantauzzi, company diversity and inclusion manager, said in a statement. “At IKEA, our culture is centered on the value of togetherness. We believe equality is a fundamental human right and that all homes are created equal.”
“To further show our commitment to equality and LGBTQ+ inclusion, on June 1, our co-workers will hoist the Pride Rainbow flag at all IKEA locations,” it outlined.
The shopping bags, which are a rainbow Kvanting version of the company’s customary blue frakta bags, will be sold for $3.99 with all proceeds going to HRCF and its youth and family homosexual advocacy programs.
“We invite all IKEA co-workers and customers to show their support for the rights of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities as we continue to press for a fully inclusive work environment and community,” IKEA further states on the UK version of its “diversity and inclusion” webpage.
The bag is currently for sale in the UK and Ireland, and flags were reportedly hoisted on May 17.
In its U.S. press release, the company lauded what it views as its various strides in regard to those who identify as homosexual or transgender, outlining that the company’s insurance plan offers benefits for homosexual workers and their household, and the “IKEA U.S. medical plan … covers a portion of gender confirmation counseling and surgery.”
IKEA also touted that 2019 marks the 25th year since it first ran a homosexual-themed advertisement, which it characterized as “groundbreaking.”
“The ad, which aired in 1994, was the first national TV spot to ever feature a gay couple — two men shopping together for a dining room table at an IKEA store,” the organization noted.
IKEA is among a number of companies that plan to celebrate homosexual and/or “transgender” pride in June. Gap has launched a “Love All Ways” campaign and will donate 15 percent of its proceeds from its pride collection to the UN Free & Equal initiative. Footwear companies Adidas, Reebok, Ugg and Nike have all announced their 2019 rainbow-themed collection, and mouthwash brand Listerine made its bottles rainbow stripes for the month of June.
Disney has also rolled out additional rainbow product, and Starbucks is selling a rainbow “love” tumbler for Pride Month. The sparkling water brand Bubly is additionally making available a “pride pack” with each can being a different color to represent the rainbow.
As previously reported, while a common theme among homosexual advocates is that they were “born this way,” the Bible teaches that all men are born with the Adamic sin nature, having various inherent inclinations that are contrary to the law of God and being utterly incapable of changing by themselves.
It is why Jesus outlined in John 3:5-7 that men must be regenerated by the second birth, or they cannot see the kingdom of Heaven.
“Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’
Nicodemus saith unto him, ‘How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb and be born?’
Jesus answered, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, ‘Ye must be born again.’”
The gospel’s message, as stated in Matthew 1:21 and numerous other verses, is that “He (Jesus) shall save His people from their sins.” The Bible also explains in regard to the work of regeneration, “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.”
In Mark 1:15, Jesus declared, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

(The Christian Institute)— Netflix and Disney have threatened to remove their business from the state of Georgia after the governor signed into law a bill seeking to protect the unborn beginning at approximately six to eight weeks gestation.
Prior to the law being passed, fifty Hollywood actors, including Sean Penn, Alec Baldwin and Ben Stiller, called on production companies to boycott the state and said they would not work there if the law came into force.
Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos warned that the entertainment giant would “rethink our entire investment” and fight the law alongside the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The late preacher Leonard Ravenhill once said, “People say we have no king and queen in America. I say we have a king in America. His name is ‘sport,’ and his wife’s name is ‘entertainment.’ And I’m convinced … that entertainment is the devil’s substitute for joy.”

From a distance the gathering of some 130 wealthy and influential people in Montreux, Switzerland, starting tomorrow looks benign enough. The website of the Bilderberg Group says it’s just “an annual forum for informal discussions, designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America.… It’s a forum for informal discussions about major issues.… There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued.”
The group even posts its agenda items, which include “informal discussions” about Brexit, climate “change,” and the future of capitalism. All designed to put any seeker of the truth to sleep.
But a closer look reveals a much darker, more insidious and more dangerous agenda. First, the meetings operate under Chatham House rules, the first clue linking the group to the international deep state seeking to impose world government on unsuspecting citizenry. Chatham House, located in London, houses the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA), a deep state organization founded at about the same time as its sister, the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR), in the United States. Those rules allow a participant to attend the meetings, but he or she may not reveal the identity or the affiliation of the speaker or any other participant.
A second clue is the list of those confirmed to be attending. Thirty-one are from the United States, including Jared Cohen (CEO of Jigsaw, an affiliate of Google that is dedicated to using its technology to “counter extremism”) and Mary Kay Henry, international president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). There’s Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state under Presidents Nixon and Ford, and nonagenarian who just turned 96 on Monday. There’s Jared Kushner, senior advisor to President Trump. There’s David Petraeus, the retired Army general who served as director of the CIA under President Obama. There’s Eric Schmidt, former chairman of Google and now serving as a technical advisor to Alphabet, Google’s holding company. There’s Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation.
In all there are 31 attendees from the United States. And 16 of them are members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
That’s enough evidence to validate Alex Newman’s claim that the Bilderberg Group is part of the shadowy network including the CFR that makes up the “Deep State Behind the Deep State,” a remarkably detailed expose published by The New American in January 2018. Noted Newman: “Virtually all of the attendees [at Bilderberg meetings] share at least one common element: a fanatical devotion to globalism and secrecy.”
That cloak of secrecy, however, isn’t total. Despite being sworn to secrecy, attendees have leaked enough information about what goes on behind the group’s closed and carefully guarded doors to draw an inescapable conclusion. Wrote Newman:
The policy vision of Bilderberg bosses has … been publicly articulated by attendees. Basically, what unites the seemingly disparate globalists appears to be mainly their fanatical devotion to globalism — the transfer of political power and self-government away from nation-states and the peoples who make up those nations to unaccountable supranational regimes controlled by Bilderberg attendees and other Deep State swamp creatures….
It appears that virtually every attendee at Bilderberg is and has been for more than six decades an enemy of national independence and a proponent of globalism and the ongoing global effort to undermine national sovereignty.
With that as background, one can now more clearly discern the real agenda behind the vanilla-flavored topics to be covered this weekend on the shores of Lake Geneva. There’s “A Stable Strategic Order” to be imposed upon unsuspecting citizens until it becomes futile to resist. There’s “What’s Next for Europe,” a detailed discussion of how to integrate the EU into other regional affiliations on the way to world government. There’s “Climate Change and Sustainability,” the movement that justifies more and more government control over people as the faux solution to a faux problem. There’s “The Future of Capitalism” segment, urging attendees to continue to work to move control of capital from private hands — probably not from their hands, though — to the tender mercies of the state.
And the list goes on, but the point is made. What’s going on this weekend at the foot of the Alps in Switzerland is not a garden party or a cocktail party for the elite but an extension of efforts that began in 1954 to bring together wealthy and influential collectivists to further enable and encourage them to continue their efforts to build their brave new world.
The meetings are reported to be taking place at Hotel Montreux Palace in Vaud, Switzerland (shown).

The secretive Bilderberg Group will meet this week in Montreux, according to its own website.
The location of this year’s elitist gathering had been kept secret, unlike in recent years when the group had revealed the location months ahead of the meeting.
A press release on bilderbergmeetings.org reveals that “The 67th Bilderberg Meeting will take place from 30 May – 2 June 2019 in Montreux, Switzerland.”
“About 130 participants from 23 countries have confirmed their attendance. As ever, a diverse group of political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia, labour and the media has been invited.” the website states.
The globalist king-makers note that the topics up for discussion in secret, away from the public and the media will be as follows:
1. A Stable Strategic Order
2. What Next for Europe?
3. Climate Change and Sustainability
4. China
5. Russia
6. The Future of Capitalism
7. Brexit
8. The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
9. The Weaponisation of Social Media
10. The Importance of Space
11. Cyber Threats
It includes bankers, heads of business, politicians and heads of international education.
Most notably, Jared Kushner, Senior Advisor to President Trump, will be in attendance, according to Bilderberg’s website.
Reports in the Swiss press indicate that the exact location of the meeting will be at the Hotel Montreux Palace in Vaud.
A cursory search online indicates that the hotel is unavailable for bookings between 28th May-2nd June:
In recent years, both Brexit and Trump and the effort to derail both has been among the primary focus of discussion amongst panicked globalists in attendance.
Over the years, Infowars has developed sources close to the conference who feed us information ahead of time as to the real agenda behind the confab, not just the vague list of topics released officially by Bilderberg.

They’re from arguably the most anti-Christian part of the West, and they have a message: A lack of robust Christianity is killing the West.
The warning was issued on Herland Report TV, where journalist Hanne Nabintu Herland interviewed fellow Scandinavian Iben Thranholm. “The general theme of the episode is that Western values have become almost entirely materialistic in essence,” commentator Raymond Ibrahim reports. As a result, Westerners are seeking purpose and meaning.
They’re finding it, too: in New Age or pagan age beliefs — and Islam.
“Because pure materialism is ultimately dissatisfying — ‘man shall not live on bread alone’ — more and more Western people are turning to any number of metaphysical ideologies, from Islam to paganism — anything, as long as it’s not Christianity,” Ibrahim continues. “Because many of these ideologies are intrinsically hostile to Christianity, Western culture, which was founded on Christian principles, has become suicidal — hence the current situation, especially in Europe.”
Ibrahim then quotes Thranholm, writing: “You cannot understand the world only from a political viewpoint. We are in a spiritual warfare and not just a political struggle.... It has become a taboo to speak about religion due to this anti-religious ideology that claims that religion has no value. As long as we remain in this spiritual crisis, I don’t think Europe will be able to defeat Islam. The reason why Islam is so successful here is because we have a spiritual vacuum.”
Anti-theists often indulge a fantasy that religion is dying and that the future is one of secular “enlightenment.” In reality, projections show that the world will become more religious during the coming decades, not less. It’s just a matter of what faith(s) will dominate.
As to this, “‘Thousands of Norwegians are rushing to Islam’ every year, says Herland. ‘A flood of ethnic Scandinavians are becoming Muslim,’ precisely because Christianity has ‘evaporated,’” relates Ibrahim.
This is witnessed throughout most of the West to varying degrees, with recently released “American Taliban” John Walker Lindh perhaps being a poster boy for the phenomenon. Lindh (who, ironically, is at least partially of Scandinavian extraction) grew up in liberal Marin County. “He had everything: loving parents, wealth, a childhood in a fantasyland of pleasure and natural beauty,” writes the Atlantic’s Graeme Wood. Yet before “even reaching adulthood, he had rejected it all.”
The uninitiated may suppose that a boy from a liberal place, with apparently liberal parents, would be a poor candidate for Islamic jihadism. The truth is the opposite. For the secular West “stands for shallow things, shallowly,” as Wall Street Journal writer Bret Stephens put it in 2015. “Europeans believe in human rights, tolerance, openness, peace, progress, the environment, pleasure. These beliefs are all very nice, but they are also secondary.”
They’re secondary to “First Things,” which, when dealt with at all today, are treated as Optional Things (church on Christmas and Easter). Consider Lindh: Reflecting mushy modernism, his parents had different last names, both of which John received. His father, Frank Lindh, came out as homosexual in 1997, divorced his mother, Marilyn Walker, and “married” (as they incorrectly put it) a man in 2009. Moreover, reflecting how they had no firm beliefs of their own — let alone the Truth — to impart to their son, they encouraged his interest in Islam when he was just 12.
While the details vary, the message too often received (subtly) by children in this secular time is the same: We’re just organic robots, some pounds of chemicals and water. There’s no absolute right or wrong, either; it’s whatever works for you. But, hey, you can still have fun in this meaningless existence with all our gadgets, electronic wonders, and bells and whistles. So have a nice life, kid.
But while it’s easy to get lost in materialism when you’re drowning in material things, this bread-alone life doesn’t truly satisfy. Then there’s our moral confusion.
Question: What do people say when law and order break down badly enough and for long enough and anarchy creeps closer? “We need a strong law-and-order guy,” we may hear (and I have heard it). Well, what happens when moral order starts to break down, when anarchy begins to reign in hearts and minds unfettered from Truth and infused with relativism’s anything-goes credo? Some people can commence to crave a spiritual strongman.
Enter Islam.
Say what you want about it, Islam’s messages aren’t relativistic; its minions don’t prattle on about tolerance, inclusiveness, “perspectives,” and shades of gray as they endeavor to put boys in girls’ bathrooms, sex ed in schools, or plan to value-signal at the next homosexual parade. Islam’s purveyors are definitive, while the West’s Christian clergymen dish up plain-vanilla sermons about social justice, afraid to speak the hard truths and behaving like politicians trying to win the next election.
Of course, there’s far more to the West’s rejection of Christianity, including the acceptance of pseudo-intellectual historical, philosophical, and scientific criticisms; emotion-grabbing media/entertainment propaganda; and that, sometimes, a religion is only without honor in its own (over-indulged) land. Islam, and other alien faiths, are much like the exotic foreigner who seems oh-so exciting to a smitten lass. Christianity is akin to the wholesome boy next door, who’d make a great husband but isn’t chosen because “familiarity breeds contempt.”
Regardless, bread-alone anti-theists should note: Their projection-enabled assumption that Muslims will embrace their enlightened secular “values” is a fool’s fancy. The world is becoming more religious as native Westerners become less so. And Christianity’s antagonists can cheer the faith’s demise in their nations, but they won’t like what takes its place.

Joe Biden is being criticized for his creepy behavior once again after he asked a 10-year-old girl for her address and said, “I’ll bet you’re as bright as you are good-looking.”
The incident occurred when Biden responded to a question from the child during an American Federation of Teachers Town Hall in Houston.
“If you give me (your) address, I’m gonna write you a longer answer and tell you the exact things I would do, OK?” said Biden before adding, “I’ll bet you’re as bright as you are good-looking.”
Joe Biden, who has publicly stated that he would stop touching women without their permission and would respect their space, touches a young girl at a campaign rally
After learning that her favorite subject was journalism, Biden then led the girl over to reporters, held her by the shoulders and whispered something in her ear.
The Washington Post’s national political reporter Felicia Sonmez thought the encounter was “odd,” tweeting, “Recall that Biden filmed a video last month in which he vowed to respect women’s personal space. Seems he hasn’t quite gotten the message.”
As Zero Hedge notes, “complimenting a 10-year-old prepubescent girl on her good looks” doesn’t quite jive with Biden’s promise to reset the “boundaries” of personal space.
As we document in the video below, this is by no means abnormal behavior for Biden.
MORE BAIT FOR THE DEMOCRATS; DISTURBING THE HORNETS' NEST
FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR:
MUELLER'S COMMENTS ARE ABSOLUTELY REPREHENSIBLE
FOX BUSINESS REPORTS
MUELLER'S CONTRADICTORY STATEMENTS
Mueller's evidence 'remarkably similar' to
Nixon, Clinton charges: Napolitano
Giuliani slams Mueller's 'ethics' over public
Russia probe remarks
"IF HE WAS CONSTRAINED BY A JUSTICE DEPT. RULE (AGAINST CHARGING/INDICTING A SITTING PRESIDENT),
WHY DID HE DO THE INVESTIGATION AT ALL?":
Special Counsel Robert Mueller, in his first public appearance since being appointed to lead the Russia investigation, broke his silence Wednesday in saying his team did not have the "option” to charge President Trump with a crime because of Department of Justice policy, adding his report "would have said so" if they had “confidence” the president did not commit a crime.
Mueller, speaking from the Justice Department Wednesday morning, detailed the findings of the Russia investigation, underscoring the contention in his report that there “was not sufficient evidence to charge a conspiracy” over whether members of the Trump campaign coordinated with the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election.
Mueller explained longstanding Justice Department policy, which states that a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime.
But Mueller did not mince words on the special counsel’s inquiry into whether the president obstructed justice.
“If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mueller said. “We did not determine whether the president did commit a crime.”
"The Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse the president of wrongdoing," Mueller said Wednesday, echoing his report which states that Congress "may apply obstruction laws to the President's corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law."
“Charging the president with a crime was not an option we could consider,” Mueller explained, adding that “it would be unfair to accuse someone of a crime when there could be no court resolution of the charge.”
“We concluded that we would not reach a determination one way or the other about whether the president committed a crime,” Mueller added. “That is the office’s final position.”
The Justice Department announced Mueller would make a statement on Wednesday morning--his first in the more than two years since he was appointed as special counsel. A senior White House official told Fox News that the White House was advised on Tuesday night of Mueller's plans.
Mueller also announced Wednesday that the special counsel’s office was officially closed and that he would be resigning from the Justice Department as special counsel to return to private life.
“I am speaking out today because our investigation is complete," Mueller said. "The attorney general has made the report on our investigation largely public. We are formally closing the special counsel's office. And as well, I'm resigning from the Department of Justice to return to private life.”
Meanwhile, multiple sources familiar with the situation told Fox News that Attorney General Bill Barr was aware of Mueller's plans to deliver a statement Wednesday. One source told Fox News that Barr has also been made aware of the contents of Mueller's statement. The attorney general, though, will not be at the Justice Department for Mueller's appearance, and is, instead, traveling to Alaska to meet with law enforcement #Mueller#MuellerReport
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters Wednesday morning that President Trump was "aware" Mueller's remarks were coming but had no comment when asked whether the White House had advanced knowledge of the substance of Mueller's remarks. Sanders also had no comment on whether the president would make a public statement after Mueller speaks. _______________________________________________________

DEMOCRATS DEMAND TRUMP IMPEACHMENT AFTER MUELLER SAYS NO COLLUSION IN SPEECH
Democrats planned to impeach president regardless of Special Counsel findings
Congressional Democrats are determined to impeach President Trump despite Special Counsel Mueller’s rare public statement reaffirming no collusion with the Russian government.
All the usual suspects who have been calling for Trump’s impeachment since his swearing-in, including Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) and even many 2020 presidential candidates, have doubled down, citing Mueller’s remark that only Congress could indict a sitting president.
Given that Special Counsel Mueller was unable to pursue criminal charges against the President, it falls to Congress to respond to the crimes, lies and other wrongdoing of President Trump – and we will do so. No one, not even the President of the United States, is above the law. https://t.co/w61a8rRQeK

Mueller’s statement makes clear what those who have read his report know: It is an impeachment referral, and it’s up to Congress to act. They should.
Mueller made clear Trump is NOT exonerated and that AG Barr is a liar. Mueller did his job now it's time for Congress to do its job. No more hiding behind the special counsel. Enough is enough. It's time to #ImpeachTrump. We can't wait for 2020. The time is NOW!
Robert Mueller made it clear that the OLC opinion prevented him from indicting the President for obstruction. Trump will continue to stymie Congressional investigations. It is time for the House to open an impeachment inquiry.

This is as close to an impeachment referral as it gets. Robert Mueller could not clear the president, nor could he charge him — so he has handed the matter to Congress, which alone can act to deliver due process and accountability.
Mueller made clear this morning that his investigation now lays at the feet of Congress. No one is above the law—Congress should begin an impeachment inquiry.
Notably absent from these impeachment calls are the Democrat leadership, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, likely because they understand that pursuing impeachment would be political suicide for their party.
Pelosi in particular has been trying to tamp down her caucus’s yearning for impeachment after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and other 2020 presidential candidates have pushed for it over the last few months.
“Trump — I use his name — Trump is goading us to impeach him,” she said earlier this month. “That’s what he’s doing. Every single day, he’s just like taunting, taunting, taunting.”
Trump responded to Mueller’s latest public statement, saying the “case is closed!”
Nothing changes from the Mueller Report. There was insufficient evidence and therefore, in our Country, a person is innocent. The case is closed! Thank you.
As previously reported, while a common theme among homosexual advocates is that they were “born this way,” the Bible teaches that all men are born with the Adamic sin nature, having various inherent inclinations that are contrary to the law of God and being utterly incapable of changing by themselves.
