or illusions, going underground can the hello i'm manila chan. you are tuned into modus operandi. every year, thousands of christians in africa are slaughtered numbers unknown to much of the west due to a lack of media coverage. today we'll look into where this onslaught is most prevalent and why it's happening, seemingly unnoticed by the collective last 2 for port to be concerned about human rights abuses. all right, let's get into the m o the . it may come as a shock to you to hear this, but christianity in all its various sets, catholicism baptist, orthodox,
12:01 am
and so on. christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world that according to washington dc think tank the cato institute, citing the study conducted by opened doors usa, which estimates that over 350000000 questions around the world faced some level of what they called significant persecution. some resulting in death in the 10s of thousands. among those 2023 depths, a whole village of christians in the central nigerian state of plateau, who had their whole town raised by a ledge, muslim extremist of hundreds mass skirt on christmas eve churches burnt to the ground homes, sacked children slaughtered in the arms of their mothers, and to this day, nobody has been brought to justice. the new g a maybe now is the most dangerous country for christians seem to be
12:02 am
nigeria, known as the giant of africa, is the continents biggest, the economy, and largest democracy, with the population projected to become the world's 3rd largest by 2050. it's also the world's largest mixed muslim christian nation. you know, judy, we have a, has that population 20210000000 people. and i want to be precise, almost to the 50 percent out of christ. yes. and so priestess apart, material christians, power and the guest of vibrant nigeria could serve as a growth engine for the whole ton of field. one would be a source of instability and violence criteria has been in the news lately because of the recent elections. the country is that an inflection point with over 60 percent of the population living in poverty was security crises,
12:03 am
including kidnapping and terrorism. that multiply the i'm here in nigeria, one of the places it's most difficult, most dangerous to be a follower of jesus every year. thousands of people are killed for their faith. this is a camp of people who are remainders, people who been orphans, people who have lost their fathers, their husbands, house resolution, 82 can make a difference. the u. s. government needs to make nigeria a country of particular concern. it has been in the past, it should be now. there are thousands of christians who are going to be killed this here. we need to make a stand. joining us to discuss this disturbing trend of violence against christians is jason jones. jason is the president of the vulnerable people project. he's a film producer, author and human rights worker. his new book, the great campaign against the great reset, drops april 16th. jason,
12:04 am
thanks for making time to talk with us. so 1st of jason, on the matter of the, the christmas mass occurs in nigeria. a 195 questions were slaughtered in the plateau state in central nigeria on christmas eve of 2023 by what they allege are full on the militants. ok, but the european parliament is attributing this to climate change and avoiding using terms like genocide that you know my insight to many feelings. why is the international community afraid to touch on the, the subject of religious persecution? yeah, well the international community is really good at condemning genocides that happened to generation ago, but tragically, they're very consistent and falling down in the face of genocides today. obviously in nigeria there's been a complete abandonment of the christians and nigeria. we saw the same thing in iraq
12:05 am
and syria as the ancient crystal communities, the syrians and the cow, the ends were being wiped from the face of the earth by isis. whether you'd see we're suffering ethnic cleansing and genocide in the hands of isis. we just saw the armenians completely completely cleanse from our soc and there was not a blip on the world. and there's other silence from the world community, nothing changes. so this is something that's consistent. and so at the bottom of people project actually found the disorganization over 20 years ago because it was obvious that nation states only use human rights violations and religious persecution to further the ends of those states. and there is never been an authentic commitment to advocating for both people, ethnic and religious communities as an ending themselves. and so that's something we seek to do with the vulnerable people project. and i have to say we consistently fail. we failed to wake the world up to what's happening in our exact to be
12:06 am
armenian christians. we failed. but for 12 years banging drums, trying to wake the world up to what was coming for the christians and use eighty's and iraq. and we failed there. and again in nigeria, tragically 9 out of 10 christians in the world this year who are murdered will be murdered nigeria. and it is very difficult to get the world to pay attention. and so across africa there is a rise in the carry in violence directed mostly at christians. if we stick with nigeria as an example, since 2009 according to the international society for civil liberties and role of lawgroup, they estimate that some 40000 nigerians had been killed because of their face. this whole villages had been raised churches, schools burnt to the ground, get there is no media outcry. and seldom are the perpetrators ever brought to injustice. why the media silence?
12:07 am
yeah, again, um, this is a consistent pattern that we've seen right now. there are hundreds of thousands of people displaced in sedan by the war. they're nothing. again with the ethnic cleansing an art sac, nothing. so what we're seeing in id area is it's just consistent. and the mainstream media fails to address human rights issues. i called the captive media and less in some way, benefits, powerful interest groups. and so that's one of the challenges the v. p is trying to convince powerful interest groups that advocating for vulnerable as they get religious communities and their interest. when you look at the christians and nigeria, you have the largest of quote unquote democracy in africa. it will be the 3rd largest country in the world by 2050. it's evenly divided by christians and muslims, and it's also muslims and animus and others that suffered the hands of these is almost extremist, not just christians. but you know that the future of nigeria is the future of
12:08 am
africa. and anyone who wants a peaceful, prosperous africa, should be fighting for a peaceful, prosperous, prosperous nigeria. but tragically, the plight of the christians and nigeria gets lost and he's very busy media cycles that seem to be driven by powerful interests. and it's not just the idea or the confidence of africa either. according to the cato institute in a, in a 2022 paper that was citing opened doors, usa christianity is actually the world's most persecuted religion. despite media hype surrounding various other fates, they reported roughly 6000 christians were murdered that year, another 6000 were imprisoned, and then some 4000 more kidnapped. they say 5000 churches were destroyed. these are global numbers. what do you think is driving this rise in a tax on christians worldwide?
12:09 am
well i, you know, i, is it arise and attacks and cushions worldwide, or is this just the 2000 year history of the church? something that's unique about christianity is that the christian is compelled to stand with the outside or it is the christian is compelled to stand for justice. the christian religion says that really, if we have in the other were called to love the other or to emulate ourselves in the service of those who are being scapegoat are suffering abuse. so wherever there are christians, whenever there is political, one rast, wherever there is religious persecution, ethnic persecution, a christian will be compelled to stand with them. and the great catholic, the french catholic anthropologist renee gerard said to stand with the scape goat is to become indistinguishable to the mob from escape. go to your stand the way. so christians, or for 2000 years is separate persecution. so, um, yeah, staggering, the numbers are staggering. as we see sort of world order beginning to disintegrate . um,
12:10 am
christians will be compelled to stand with those who are suffering and abused. and when you stand with those who are suffering and abuse, you yourself will face abuse. so as you say, you know, these are new events or incidents that are new to the christian community. very good point. all right, coming up next will examine christianity in america over the controversy of abortion rights. we're just the law, contravene religion. we'll discuss it when we return with jason jones to type the em all will be right back. the the, [000:00:00;00]
12:11 am
the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really one say better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as but can you see through their illusions, going underground can i will give this experience for the rest of the problem or what else i'm gonna show us january 1st, that is before the so there's 2 more to keep going. as i mentioned,
12:12 am
this is up just typical plan. what's not expressed here, submit item. so image matters only. can the gods now program you know, open up the front and then for the 1st thing you know for will be street. the mention is pretty much performed by for a bit lower francisco from over proof to those types of products that are coming out the most of the things that are available to try and sell the most of the triple just the enough one to the it's almost the that the system, the good english is and you know,
12:13 am
the welcome back to the m o i manila chant. jason jones is back to continue the conversation. thanks for sticking with us jason. so let me ask you which groups of questions do you think are the most persecuted as is it? is it the catholics? is it protestants? orthodox? who yeah. i think well the catholic church, again is the largest church and the orthodox churches. because 1st, because they were churches in the islamic world, they weren't evangelize and we weren't spreading around the globe the way the western church wise. and so the western church specifically catholicism, you will find signs, catholic orders and catholic lay a past which like mine were a catholic, a possible it wherever there is persecution, a world. so i think you will find the catholic church is produced as the most monitors. probably not, you know, because we are the largest church and because with
12:14 am
a church that is set the missionaries to the furthest reaches of the world, do you think of the great martyrs of the 20th century have st. maximillian, colby was a polish priest who had the largest newspaper in the world at the time of the german invasion opponent. it was an anti nazi newspaper. he died in a starvation bunker. you think of the great polish st to get it jersey puppy. ask you, a jesuit priest, who is the spiritual founder of the solidarity movement, who is beat to death by the caged being thrown into an icy river. so you know, the catholic church is the church that probably produces the most monitors and what do you see martyrs in any and nigeria and other places most likely that they're going to be catholic. what about in the so called secular west? do you think the growth of ac is um and secularism is posing a threat to the actual freedom of worship and in the so called free societies and and could we see perhaps worse discrimination in the future?
12:15 am
i mean for example, we have recently seen that the f b i was investigating under cover my do a catholic group in richmond, virginia, labeling them far right extremist. yeah, it is to be expected. you know, i always, as a catholic, i'm grateful when i heard these stories because that means catholics are doing a job. so um, you know, it's not really that there left is even so much is it there? progressive. i say that with the west is become post liberal and no longer believes in freedom of speech, freedom of speech or expression, or religion. it's really in the left, in the, in the west is driven by an obsessive desire for progress and progress at the expense of human dignity progress at the expense of the ball and rubel. so for example, you have port cap of children in the congo digging for cobalt for lithium batteries . so this,
12:16 am
this does drive for progress if you get the cost of human dignity. so, is, is, will inevitably lead to christian persecution because as a christian, i am compelled to stand with the weaker. as a christian, i am compelled to stand with the catholic children, the christian children, the mazda and children, the atoms, children in the, in congo, who are working in the worst slave labor light conditions in, in and around a toxic waste, a toxic cobalt. um, so were compelled to stand with them as you get in the way of this relentless drive for progress. one can expect persecution to expand on religious attacks in the us for us as we saw you know, ro, overturn by scotto is many on the, the religious side. we're celebrating this on, on the grounds of their religious values. i mean, primarily christians. shortly thereafter, we saw some churches torched,
12:17 am
a lot of intolerant language towards entire communities of faith. where do we draw the line here in the us between religious expression and the letter of the law to? well, there was a recent book that came out called legacy of life honoring the 50 heroes most responsible for the or overturning of roe vs wade. and i was honored in that book is one of the 50 people most responsible for the opportunity to pursue with united states. and i was grateful for that. honor. i don't know if i earned it, but you know, the overturning of rovers has wage was essential for the salvation of this republic . because like slavery and segregation before it, abortion denied the only principle of unity that the united states has. so we're not united by necessity, we're not united by history. we're not united by religion. we're united around this declaration principle, this belief that is really fundamentally the christian vision of the human person.
12:18 am
we are united by this belief that every human being is endowed by god with inalienable rights and viable dignity. everyone understands that the biological beginning of the universe, a human person as virtualization. and that abortion destroys a human person. and so what role versus way really did is it undermines this republic and so the overturning of roe vs wade really. although in the short run created subdivision a lot less division than i expected, it really turned out to be kind of and nothing burger despite the democrat party's obsession with the issue of abortion. and they're just driving away. younger voters and minority voters with that. and i hope they continue doing that. but really the overturning of rovers has weighed, was essential for the salvation of our republic. in the same way, there's a civil rights act was in the same way that the treasury, the civil war ending slavery in the long run was necessary for, for this republic, for the health of our republic. and while we're on the subject of, of the u. s. and society's view on religion. can we for
12:19 am
a moment just examine this new, paradoxical shift here. because for the last 2 generations, it seemed americans were abandoning religion altogether. but some recent new pollings seems to indicate the youngest of gen z. and the new gen alpha are taking a notice full swing and the other direction showing that faith is actually on the rise among the youngest of the americans. how do we square that? yeah, it's really interesting. so jen z engine now far. the most conservative is the most conservative generation in america since the 20s, at which i think it's something that's quite interesting and you see this, this long for religion. so in the, in the united states we, we see this, we see this nihilistic opposed to liberal left. and on the right we see sort of this car guy called the cargo called the gnostic cargo cult, which you see in eastern europe and russia with guys like and dealt with times like alexander, do again,
12:20 am
who try to cobble together like the remnants of what was left of russian culture in the wake of, you know, a 770 years up to tell terry and is i'm that sort of designated civil society. you're seeing that now in the west where they sort of try to cobble together and build together. so sort of traditions this a thing for tradition. and so i think the real challenge for the church in the west is to not allow young people to be seduced by ideologies or enthusiasms, or gnosticism, or this great awakening that you see it on the right. but rather to attract them to trinitarian, traditional orthodox christianity. and i think what we're saying with jersey and jen alpha is there, look into it all there. look into it all as they look at the great reset, as they look at global as they look at see how pornography and ab dating is obliterated their bill. you experience arrows and the awakening of romantic,
12:21 am
loving and natural human way. they know they've been robbed, they're going to be a very angry generation. and so they're looking for answers. and they know that neo liberalism are post, you know, the post liberal nihilistic last has nothing to offer them but lies. i'm so they're looking everywhere willy nilly. so i think it's the responsibility of the church to really clearly present orthodox christianity, epistatic historic christianity christianity that that um, i believe as a christian of course is not only true, but knit together everything. true, beautiful and good in the civilization that we have. and so yeah, i think it's just an admirable that we're going to see a swing to the right. we don't want it to be a liberal nihilistic right. we want it to be a wholesome christian, humane conservatism. all right, i got to leave it right there. jason jones,

a big tech have the power to silence voices they disagreed with. but they also had the power to call it a person's feet to show only news, which was aligned with their own political agendas. now, democrats sharply repute discharge, and said republicans were just continuing their history of bashing what they consider to be the liberal, mainstream media. and big tech, well, ignoring the real dangers, which was the rise of hate speech and this information online. but in the eyes of the majority of americans, this made republicans, the party fighting to protect freedom of speech. so as fast for to 2024 and 2 things have changed. first, one of the largest social media platforms, twitter was sold to libertarian tech giant. you learn mosque through almost immediately change the name to x and promise to fight for free speech and oppose the woke mind virus. now the 2nd change came into development and almost instantly

popular online social media outlet originating from china, called tick tock and is continuing to dominate the sector. which of course does not make some of its american competitors. very happy to these competitors having to have very generous lobbyist in washington dc. let's look at this meta, which is the owner of the popular platforms, facebook and instagram, and in the 1st half of 2023, spend about $9000000.00 on lobby activities. now the previous year, the company's lobby effort, total approximately $21000000.00. initially thought the calling for this banning of tick tock, which has taken a very large amount of traffic away from the metal platforms, was mainly about an american company using the government to eliminate a for a competitor. and it still could be the case as kit talk is ultimately owned through a very complex, multi layered corporate structure by dance, who was

a privately own technology giant. have a former congressman, ron paul, has correctly stated the us house vote to force the sale, tick, tock, or band. the platform entirely from us is the most dangerous and anti american acts is the passage of the patriot act. why is all this? well, because the law will give the us president whomever that is sole authority to determine which businesses can and cannot operate in the united states. this is a full government takeover of basic liberties and was being done under the umbrella of protecting american security. is accomplishing exact opposite. even more alarm alarming. the same republican party, which championed free speech just a few short years ago, is largely the one pushing for this band. the majority of democrats have either been supportive of the band or basically stay quiet. however, there were a few voices on both sides of the aisle who found themselves vocalizing their
