Satanist Leader Arrested After Alleged Physical Altercation in Kansas State Capitol

A Satanist leader was arrested on Friday morning after reportedly getting into a physical altercation at the Kansas State Capitol during a so-called “Black Mass” event.

Michael Stewart, the founder of the Satanic Grotto, was detained at the Kansas Statehouse in the capital of Topeka after getting into a shoving match with another individual, according to WIBW News.

The Satanic Grotto is described as an “organization for Satanists and allies who follow the Left-Hand Path,” according to the organization’s website.

Per the outlet:

Stewart then made his way to the rotunda, where he held his arms skyward and made a dedication to Satan. One woman confronted him, saying he was not allowed to do that, while a man approached holding a medallion and praying. A third person then approached, and he and Stewart started shoving each other.

In a post on X from CatholicVote, Stewart could be seen holding his arms up as another person appeared to grab something out of his hand. Stewart then appeared to punch the person, and the two could be seen getting into a physical altercation before law enforcement officers intervened and tackled Stewart to the ground.

According to the outlet, prior to entering the building, law enforcement officials greeted Stewart and informed him that “he was welcome inside the building, but he could not perform any demonstrations.”

Roughly 20 people “were on hand in support of the Black Mass,” while between 300 and 400 people were protesting the event, according to the outlet.

Ukrainian Government Breaks Into Ancient Catacombs, Disturbs, Seizes Holy Relics In Further Attack On Christianity

We traveled to Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in 2015 and walked among the relics of the saintly dead.

Now the Ukrainian government, in a further destruction of Christianity in the nation, is disturbing ancient relics of priests and saints to ‘examine’ them. For what reason they need to be examined, nobody knows.

Renowned Greek theologian, canonist, and presbyter Anastasios Gotsopoulos has issued a public appeal to the Primates of the Local Orthodox Churches concerning the situation at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, where Ukrainian authorities have initiated the examination of holy relics. The priest’s message was published by UOJ in Greece, reported the Union of Orthodox Journalists.

In his emotional appeal, Fr. Anastasios – rector of the Church of St. Nicholas in Patras – urged hierarchs to “raise a voice of denunciation and protest to stop the desecration of the holy sites of the Orthodox Church.”

He noted that on March 28, a commission appointed by Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture, accompanied by law enforcement, broke the locks of the Near and Far Caves of the Lavra to conduct “research” on the relics of the Pechersk saints.

“The composition of the commission clearly shows the regime’s disregard for the sanctity,” Gotsopoulos stated, pointing out that the commission includes anatomists, biologists, and even a veterinarian – but not a single representative of the Church.

30+ Met police smash down Quaker meeting house doors to raid anti-genocide gathering

Quakers in Britain have strongly condemned the violation of their place of worship by a gang of Met Police officers last night, which they describe as “a direct result of stricter protest laws removing virtually all routes to challenge the status quo”.

The police, some armed with tasers, forced their way into the Quakers’ Westminster Meeting House and arrested six women campaigners who were meeting peacefully in a hired room – the first time in living memory that someone has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house, according to the religious group.

Police smashed the front door of the building without warning or attempting to gain peaceful entry first by simply ringing the bell. Young people’s anti-genocide group Youth Demand have also condemned the ‘insane’ assault on free speech and peaceful assembly, in a video statement by one of the young women at the event – who reported that police had seized laptops and phones despite only being there for supposed ‘conspiracy to commit public nuisance’. Three of the women remained in custody this afternoon.

Tulsi Gabbard Speaks Out Against Persecution of Christians and Hindus in Bangladesh, Warns of “Islamic Caliphate” after Bloody Biden Color Revolution

The massive attacks against Hindus, Christians, Sikhs and Buddhists in Bangladesh continue (Gateway Pundit reported), the government had to admit. There have been at least 1,234 incidents of political violence in Bangladesh since the Biden Regime’s insurrection against the elected Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to flee the country on August 5, 2024. Visiting India in March, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard warned against an “Islamic Caliphate”.

The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council claimed there had been 2,010 incidents of “communal violence” since prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country on August 5 after a color revolution orchestrated by the Biden Regime, NED and USAID. According to the installed government of Muhammad Yunus, 1,452 of those incidents took place on August 5, 2024, when Hasina was ousted from power, Indian Express reported.

Visiting New Delhi, India, on March 17, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the US was deeply concerned about the persecution of minorities in Bangladesh, saying the Trump administration was committed to defeating “Islamist terrorism” globally.

“The long-time unfortunate persecution, killing and abuse of religious minorities, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Catholics and others has been a major area of concern for the US govt and President Trump and his administration,” Gabbard told NDTV World.

“The threat of Islamist terrorists and the global effort of different terror groups are rooted in the same ideology and objective – which is to rule and govern with an Islamist Caliphate. This obviously affects people of any other religion, other than the one that they find acceptable, and they choose to carry this out with terror and very violent and terroristic means. President remains committed to identifying this ideology that drives Islamist terrorism and helping to defeat that ideology.”

US Intel Report Blasts Jolani’s Forces For ‘Violence, Instability’ In Syria

The US Department of National Intelligence acknowledged in its Annual Threat Assessment of 2025 that Syrian government forces were responsible for the massacres committed against minorities on Syria’s coast earlier this month. 

“The fall of president Bashar al-Assad’s regime at the hands of opposition forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) – a group formerly associated with Al-Qaeda – has created conditions for extended instability in Syria and could contribute to a resurgence of ISIS and other Islamist terror groups,” the report noted, adding that “HTS-led interim government forces, along with elements of Hurras al-Din and other jihadist groups, engaged in violence and extrajudicial killings in northwestern Syria in early March 2025 primarily targeting religious minorities that resulted in the death of more than 1,000 people, including Alawite and Christian civilians.”

The report went on to say that “some remaining jihadist groups refuse to merge into the HTS Ministry of Defense, and ISIS has already signaled opposition to HTS’s call for democracy and is plotting attacks to undermine its governance.”

It also highlights that Syrian transitional president Ahmad al-Sharaa, who headed HTS and its precursor group the Nusra Front, “claims to be willing to work with Syria’s array of ethno-sectarian groups to develop an inclusive governance model.” Yet, these groups are skeptical of his intentions, therefore “protracted negotiations could devolve into violence.”

The massacres took place in early March in Syria’s coastal cities and surrounding towns and villages after an armed uprising launched by militants affiliated with Syria’s former army. 

During a widescale security operation to quell the uprising, the Syrian Military Operations Department – consisting of numerous extremist factions who have been incorporated into the country’s new army – carried out a massive campaign of executions.

Secret CIA files claim Ark of the Covenant has been found

The location of a chest believed to contain the Ten Commandments has long been a mystery, but CIA documents claims the Ark of the Covenant has been found.

According to the Bible, the Ark of the Covenant was built by the Israelites shortly after they fled Egypt around the 13th century BC. Moses then placed the Ten Commandments inside. 

The CIA conducted experiments in the 1980s with individuals who claimed they could perceive information about distant objects, events or other people.

The report details one of these tests where Remote Viewer No. 032 was given coordinates to locate a target, and they described the Ark of the Covenant hiding in the Middle East.

Some historians believe the Ark of the Covenant was originally kept inside the Holy of Holies, the innermost chamber of the ancient Temple of Jerusalem, before it disappeared during the Babylonian sack of Jerusalem in 586 BC. 

There is also a legend that the artifact was taken to Ethiopia and now resides in a local church. Evidence that the chest existed has yet to be found, but the CIA document declassified in 2000 claims it was discovered in 1988.

‘The target is a container. This container has another container inside of it,’ the document states. ‘The target is fashioned of wood, gold and silver…. and it is decorated with [a six-winged angel].’ 

The remote viewer continued to say that the coffin-shaped object is ‘located somewhere in the Middle East’ and saw people in the area speaking Arabic.

The remote viewer, however, was not told that they were searching for the lost covenant before the experiment began.

Northern Irish Pastor Prosecuted for Sermon on John 3:16

Clive Johnston, a retired pastor in Northern Ireland, is facing prosecution for allegedly violating “abortion buffer zones laws” by preaching an open-air sermon on John 3:16.

Johnston, 76, decided to preach a sermon on the famous verse last July outside of Causeway Hospital in Coleraine, according to a release from The Christian Institute, which is representing him.

The elderly minister “never mentioned” abortion specifically in his sermon, raising the question of whether “a law designed to stop abortion protests” should be “used to criminalise gospel preaching.”

The open-air Sunday sermon was delivered from the “fringes of a buffer zone on the other side of a dual carriageway” from the general hospital.

Johnston had a preliminary hearing on March 21 and expects a trial “in the next few months.”

“If convicted, the grandfather of seven, who has never been in trouble with the police, faces a criminal record and maximum fines totaling thousands of pounds,” according to The Christian Institute.

The organization noted that “it is now a criminal offence for people to be ‘impeded, recorded, influenced or to be caused harassment, alarm or distress’ within the areas” encompassed by the buffer zones.

Johnston, who previously served as president of the Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland, is accused of “influencing” rather than impeding or harassing.

The Christian Institute added that the prosecution comes after the Green Party passed legislation three years ago creating buffer zones ranging between 100 meters and 150 meters.

The buffer zones around abortion clinics are meant to dissuade Christians from speaking to men and women entering or from encouraging them to choose life.

Simon Calvert, the deputy director of The Christian Institute, said in a statement, “We have amazing gospel freedom in this country, and we encourage Christians to use those freedoms, so that more people will hear about the love of God.”

“That’s why we’ve taken on this case,” he added. “Prosecuting someone for preaching John 3:16 near a hospital on a quiet Sunday is an outrageous restriction on freedom of religion and freedom of speech.”

Air Force Academy Reverses Decision, Allows Muslim Cadets To Forgo Physical Training During Ramadan

The Air Force Academy recently held a new more rigorous “cumulative exercise” which is “an essential training event designed to enhance cadets’ warfighter readiness and leadership skills.”  You can read more about this here.

The Academy said,

“This multi-day field training event evaluated all cadets’ proficiency in newly developed Ready Airman Training (RAT) skills, reinforcing their preparedness for Agile Combat Employment.

The Spring 2025 CULEX tested cadets’ adaptability, leadership, and mission execution capabilities in physically and mentally demanding scenarios.

These challenges included day and night operations spread across four rotations, simulating the complexity of real-world military engagements.”

However, it now appears that Muslim cadets were allowed to opt-out of the physical part of the exercise due to their religious holiday Ramadan.

Hope there are no wars during religious holidays or that the enemy will be nice enough to accommodate holidays. However, the Israelis found that out the hard way in 1973. American soldiers under Gen. George Washington in a Christmas surprise attack ensured we’re not a British colony.

Canada Plans to Lift Some Sanctions on Syria Jihadis Following Massacres

The Canadian Foreign ministry said on Thursday that it plans to ease some financial sanctions on Syria and send a non-resident ambassador to Damascus, despite the horrific massacres of Alawites and Christians perpetrated by the new Syrian government and its allies last weekend.

“Canada can play a meaningful role in enabling Syrians to build an inclusive country that respects all of its citizens. We also can help prevent Syria from falling into chaos and instability,” said Canada’s special envoy for Syria, Omar Alghabra.

Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said sanctions would be relaxed for six months to “support democratization, stabilization, and the delivery of aid” during a “period of transition” for Syria.

“These sanctions had been used as a tool against the Assad regime and easing them will help to enable the stable and sustainable delivery of aid, support local redevelopment efforts, and contribute to a swift recovery for Syria,” said a statement from Joly and Minister of International Development Ahmed Hussen.

The sanctions-easing plan involves issuing six-month permits for Canadians to conduct business transactions in Syria that were banned under sanctions, and transmit funds through the Syrian Central Bank and a few other financial institutions.

“This funding will support experienced humanitarian partners to deliver life-saving assistance, including food, protection services, water, sanitation and hygiene services, and health services. This brings Canada’s total humanitarian assistance to the Syria crisis this year to more than $100 million,” said Joly and Hussen.
