Moritz Daniel Oppenheim: Marriage portrait of Charlotte de Rothschild, 1836 The Rothschild family (/ˈrɒθstʃaɪld/) is a wealthy Jewish family originally from Frankfurt that rose to prominence with Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812), a court factor to the German Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel in the Free City of Frankfurt, Holy Roman Empire, who established his banking business in the 1760s.[2] Unlike most previous court factors, Rothschild managed to bequeath his wealth and established an international banking family through his five sons,[3] who established businesses in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna, and Naples. The family was elevated to noble rank in the Holy Roman Empire and the United Kingdom.[4][5] The family's documented history starts in 16th century Frankfurt; its name is derived from the family house, Rothschild, built by Isaak Elchanan Bacharach in Frankfurt in 1567.

The Growing Threat to Free Speech Worldwide

Despite assurances from political and tech leaders about their commitment to free speech, there's increasing evidence that these promises are more talk than action. Let's take a closer look. The Double Standards of Fact-Checking In Australia, an investigation revealed that Facebook is indirectly funding fact-checkers who are supposed to be neutral but are actually targeting and censoring views that oppose their own. This becomes even more concerning as Australians prepare for a significant election on Indigenous rights. Twisting the Law for Censorship In Ireland and Scotland, the rationale of “preventing hate speech from becoming dangerous” is being used to justify extreme measures like invading people's homes to confiscate devices. It's like something out of a dystopian sci-fi movie, where thought crimes are policed. Global Digital Censorship Army The United Nations is also joining the fray, assembling a digital army to combat what they label as “deadly disinformation....

Humanity In Sin

The Scriptures teach us that humanity is genetically coded to sin against the Almighty God ever since Adam and Eve’s first recorded historical sin against the Creator explained in the Book of Genesis. To understand a repented nature, one must understand the seriousness of  SIN . Scriptural Verses Regarding Sin: “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. ”  Psalms 51:5 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”   Romans 3:23 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”   Romans 5:12 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”   Romans 6:23 The  GREAT DILEMMA  with humanity is that God has separated us from Himself.  “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”   Isaiah 59:2. ...
