Another terror attack was just reported: “At least 15 individuals have been killed and dozens injured following a shooting incident at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia on Sunday evening. Authorities have classified the event as a terror attack, with reports indicating that the two gunmen specifically targeted attendees celebrating the Jewish holiday. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the gunmen ushered non-celebrants aside before opening fire. Emergency services reported at least 29 injuries, and one of the attackers was shot while the other was apprehended. Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon confirmed the discovery of several improvised explosive devices in a nearby vehicle, prompting the involvement of bomb disposal units. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the attack, emphasizing its targeting of Jewish Australians and asserting that it represents an attack on all Australians. He convened a meeting with national security officials to address the incident. U.S. reactions included a statement from President Donald Trump, who reassured Hanukkah celebrants of their safety, and a condemnation from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who highlighted the need to combat antisemitism. Videos from the scene captured the panic among beachgoers and the heroic actions of a bystander who intervened to disarm one of the gunmen. This act of bravery was praised by New South Wales Premier Chris Minns, who described the individual as a hero. The shooting occurred against a backdrop of rising antisemitic incidents in Australia, particularly following the onset of the Israel-Gaza conflict in October 2023. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry reported a significant increase in antisemitic attacks, raising alarms within both the Jewish community and broader Australian society.” It was subsequently reported that the shooters were father and son. What were the causes of this event? What is most important for us to know?

Police in Hong Kong arrested three men on suspicion of manslaughter, several local news media reported, in connection with a blaze that has killed at least 75 people and left hundreds missing in the city’s deadliest fire in years. Hundreds of residents were evacuated as the fire which started on Wednesday afternoon, spread across seven of the eight high-rise apartment buildings in a housing complex in Tai Po district, a suburb in the New Territories. At least 29 others remained hospitalized. Bright flames and smoke shot out of windows as night fell. Authorities said earlier that investigators would be looking into factors including whether material on the exterior walls of high-rise buildings met fire resistance standards, as the rapid spread of the fire was unusual…Officials said the fire started on the external scaffolding of one of the buildings, a 32-storey tower, and later spread to inside the building and then to nearby buildings, likely aided by windy conditions…The housing complex consisted of eight buildings with almost 2,000 apartments housing about 4,800 residents, including many elderly people. It was built in the 1980s and had recently been undergoing a major renovation. Was this tragedy accidental, caused by human arson, or something more deeply sinister?

A news story reports that Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) joined The Epoch Times Senior Editor Jan Jekielek on his show American Thought Leaders to discuss what he considers one of the gravest crimes of our time: the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting. “I’m one of the few members of Congress who’ve ever actually done transplant surgery,” Dunn said. “I understand a lot of it is coming near and dear to my heart, and the idea of actually murdering someone—to take their organs and give them to somebody else—that is as appalling as anything that anybody’s ever done in the history of the world. That’s right up there with the Nazis and the Holocaust.” A surgeon by training and a member of the House Select Committee on the CCP, Dunn has made combating China’s forced organ harvesting one of his top priorities… For over two decades, mounting evidence has indicated that prisoners of conscience in China, particularly adherents of Falun Gong—a spiritual practice persecuted in China since 1999—have been killed on demand for their organs. Independent tribunals, human rights investigators, and medical experts have documented thousands of cases, estimating that tens of thousands of transplants occur each year without identifiable voluntary donors. “Now they advertise that you can actually make an appointment sitting in America for a heart/lung transplant in China right now, but I want to make that illegal,” Dunn said. What is Creator’s perspective?

The famous quote about the effectiveness of telling lies, from Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, has a second part that is perhaps a clue to a deeper truth: “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it,” then Goebbels continues, “And you will even come to believe it yourself!” Is that reflecting his personal witnessing of alien mind control without realizing its sinister reach and power to manipulate human beliefs?

The suspect accused of killing four people in a Manhattan high-rise building on July 28, 2025, allegedly left a note behind that appeared to blame the NFL for a brain injury, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The alleged attacker, 27-year-old Shane Tamura of Las Vegas, committed suicide by shooting himself after he allegedly opened fire at the 345 Park Avenue building that houses the NFL’s headquarters, along with other businesses. During an interview on CBS News, Adams was asked about a possible motive in the shooting. The mayor said that a note was allegedly found stating the shooter felt he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain injury more commonly known as CTE that some football players have been known to develop. “He appeared to have blamed the NFL for his injury,” Adams said. A media search found no one with the name Shane Tamura ever played in the NFL, including on teams’ practice squads. What caused this state of mind, and to kill because of it?

A practitioner asks: “Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses not believe in life after death? Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that when a person dies they completely cease to exist. There is no consciousness at all after death. Therefore, there cannot be a conscious eternal punishment for the “unbelievers.” They believe that the “wicked” will be consumed in judgment and annihilated. Will they need a Spirit Rescue?” What is Creator’s perspective?

A viewer asks: “Does a printed Bible itself radiate healing power which could be used as a “point of contact” between the divine and a physical malady? Acts 19:11-12 is about God granting Paul the power to perform extraordinary miracles through handkerchiefs and aprons that were touched by him. Creator has mentioned that the Bible maintains an energetic connection to Creator and is more than the printed words on the page (a principle which is presumably true for many other major spiritual writings). Is it therefore a healing activity to possess such holy works and read from such holy writings? Is the healing effect amplified by writing out passages by hand or by speaking the words on the page?”

A viewer asks: “There are so many examples in the Old Testament of God’s people killing the inhabitants of lands that they overtook at the Creator’s suggestion or command—every man woman and child. The Israelites were commanded to destroy several nations, including the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, as well as the Midianites. These commands are found in Deuteronomy 20:16–17 and Numbers 31:17. In the case of the Midianites, the Israelites were instructed to kill every man, woman, and child, except for the virgin girls, as recorded in Numbers 31. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all nations destroyed by the Israelites, but these are prominent examples in the Bible. Were these events truly commanded by God? Who was behind all this killing?”

There is growing criticism of the California politicians in the wake of the massive wildfires underway, from what are seen as poor decisions: Reducing the LA Fire Department budget by $17,000,000 and sending city firefighting equipment to Ukraine; ending forestry management practices to remove underbrush and do controlled burns to lower the proven hazard of dry spells; destruction of four dams in major rivers out of deference to fish populations which lets the water flow into the sea instead of being captured in reservoirs; failure to build new reservoirs that were budgeted for a decade ago; failure to keep existing reservoirs filled so firefighters have run out of water while current wildfires are raging uncontrolled; putting a cap on fire insurance policy costs, causing insurers to pull out leaving many homeowners with total losses; etc. Are these overly harsh criticisms, do they reflect incompetence of leadership, or is everyone being manipulated to make errors in judgment by leadership and others to ignore being vulnerable?
