"Many of the prophecies foretold in orthodox religions have come to pass, as have the predictions made by Nostradamus and those passed down in cultures around the world, from Peru to Korea. In Chinese history, from the Han to the Ming dynasties, there have been surprisingly accurate prophetic texts.

These prophecies show us the important truth that history is not a coincidental process, but rather a drama in which the sequence of major events has been pre-established. In the end times, which also could herald the beginning of a new historical cycle, all of the world’s religions are awaiting one thing: the arrival of the Creator in the human realm.

All dramas have a climax. Though the devil has made arrangements to destroy humankind, the Creator has means of awakening the world’s people, helping them to escape the devil’s bo***ge, and offering them salvation. The ultimate battle between good and evil is unfolding today.

Orthodox religions the world over have foretold that in the era of the Creator’s return, the world would be awash with demons, abominations, and ominous events as humanity lost its moral restraints. This is the world today.

The state of degeneration we face today has been long in the making. It began hundreds of years ago, with the rise of its core driving forces: atheism and the deception of humanity. It was Karl Marx who created an ideology to encompass the deception in all its permutations, and it was Vladimir Lenin who put the theory into brutal practice.

Marx, however, was not an atheist. He was a Satanist and became the demon whose mission it was to prevent man from recognizing the Creator in the end times..."

Art Pawlowski set to return to court on Aug. 9

Pastor Artur Pawlowski’s troubles with the Canadian authorities began long before his sermon to commercial truckers encouraging their peaceful defiance against what he thought were “oppressive” public health mandates for COVID-19.

In 2005, he began serving and ministering to downtown Calgary—Alberta’s poor and downtrodden. “In other words, feeding the homeless and praying for them, which is now illegal,” he described to The Epoch Times in a telephone interview while under house arrest in Calgary following his court conviction in May for inciting mischief and violating his release conditions.

The police eventually showed up at Mr. Pawlowski’s church, telling him he couldn’t feed the homeless by law. Neither was he allowed to assemble or preach in public.

Such actions are also illegal and punishable with tickets, fines, and even jail time.

“They even have laws on the books that distributing printed materials—Bibles and Gospel tracts—is illegal. So I got tickets for that,” Mr. Pawlowski said.

He added that tensions with the authorities had reached the point where police showed up at his church weekly.

During the pandemic, he received 40 tickets for COVID-19 violations, including one for a Christmas celebration he said drew a response from over 100 police officers, 52 police vehicles, as well as anti-terrorism units.

Over 300 Citations

Between 2005 and 2015, Mr. Pawlowski said he received over 300 citations for refusing to stop preaching, feeding the homeless, and doing what he thought was helpful to those in need.

He was arrested and charged in 2006 for reading the Bible in public, and considers being the first Canadian to receive a COVID-19 ticket for feeding the homeless a badge of honor in what he’d say was righteous defiance.

“I asked them a simple question: ‘What do you think will happen to the homeless if we kick them out of shelters and shut down soup kitchens?'” he said of his efforts.

Mr. Pawlowski, pastor of the Cave of Adullam ministry and founder of Street Church Ministries in Calgary, said he has also been granted some victories in the eyes of the law. He won significant court battles through Alberta’s provincial courts of appeal.

On Aug. 9, Mr. Pawlowski, a native of Poland and an acolyte of the “Solidarity Movement,” could receive up to 10 years in prison for the charge of “inciting mischief” during Canada’s nationwide trucker protests last year.

The protests rose in response to the public health rules of Canada’s Trudeau administration, sparking a massive “Freedom Convoy” from like-minded residents that threatened to bring the nation’s economy to a halt unless COVID-19 restrictions that were also impacting the economy and mental health were lifted.

Response to Government Overreach

As a Christian minister, Mr. Pawlowski said he believed he was waging a spiritual battle against “government overreach” during the pandemic, even if it means he has to pay fines, get arrested, or go to jail.

On Feb. 7, 2022, at the border crossing blockade in Coutts, Alberta, Mr. Pawlowski told a crowd of commercial truckers, “It’s about time for Canadians to rise up and start roaring.”

“For the first time in two years, you’ve got the power. They’ve got the guns, yes—it’s all useless when you all rise up. There is no tyrant big enough that can stop [the] masses.”

[morearticles mode=”false”]5312892, 5147654[/morearticles]
Canadian authorities arrested and charged him with inciting mischief and interfering with essential infrastructure under Alberta’s Critical Infrastructure Defense Act of 2020.

The Critical Infrastructure Defense Act “protects essential infrastructure from damage or interference caused by blockades or similar activities, which can cause significant public safety, social, economic and environmental consequences.”

Mr. Pawlowski said Canadian authorities also accused him of promoting “genocide” for referencing the Solidarity Movement contributing to the fall of communism in Poland.

“Of course, if you listened to my service, you will know that I said no guns, no swords, just stand for God and human rights during my sermon three times,” he said of the accusation.

Mr. Pawlowski said he spent 50 days in prison, mostly in solitary confinement surrounded by concrete cells, before he was placed in maximum security and a psychiatric ward without evaluation.

The court found him guilty of inciting mischief in May. Judge Gordon Krinke placed him under 12-hour daily house arrest until his sentencing date.

“So, encouraging Canadians to stand for God and state human rights is a criminal act, a terrorism act,” said Mr. Pawlowski, who needs special permission to leave his house between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. “Therefore I am guilty, and all of them are guilty, according to this judge.”

Months later, he is “still under house arrest in Calgary,” he said.

Belief on Trial

“I am the first Canadian where my sermon and speech were on trial. Everything was about what I said. The lawyers argued what I meant. It was a charade, a show trial—a joke,” Mr. Pawlowski said.

“I was not allowed to say a word as they debated what I said and what I meant. They couldn’t agree on the wording.”

Mr. Pawlowski said he is also the first Canadian citizen charged with eco-terrorism in the history of Canada.

“And now, the judge ruled I am the first Canadian ever to be found guilty of inciting mischief and eco-terrorism,” Mr. Pawlowski said. “The Canadian courts are upside down. I am a political prisoner. It has nothing to do with law and order,” he expressed.

An Alberta Crown Prosecution Service spokesman told The Epoch Times in an email that the agency has “no comment on this matter.”

Sarah Miller of JSS Barristers is currently representing Mr. Pawlowski in the case. She said she “currently cannot speak to media regarding this case while the sentencing is outstanding.”

However, Ms. Miller said she does not expect sentencing to occur on Aug. 9. Rather, the proceedings will “set the date for sentencing.”

“I hope to be able to speak publicly about this case in the future,” Ms. Miller added.

Son Expresses Cry for Help

The pastor’s son, Nathan Pawlowski, recently testified in the European Parliament about the “consequences of abuse of power under the guise of help” during the pandemic by the Canadian government.

“I am here today in desperation—a cry for help,” Nathan Pawlowski said by videolink from Canada. “I would like to tell you all the things about freedom and democracy that I like, but I no longer know those things.

“They have been taken away from us Canadians. Canada has fallen. We no longer have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or the right to assemble, associate, or express ourselves, or have free media or disagree with the government.”

Nathan Pawlowski said his father could be imprisoned for up to a decade for his trucker sermon and referenced the Solidarity Movement.

“This case sets a precedent with all Canadians—and the world—if you allow this to happen,” he said.

He explained that his father was charged with preaching and reading the Bible publicly because the government had ruled that the Bible is “hateful and isn’t inclusive.”

“My father told the truckers to stand for their rights, Solidarity-style, and to do so peacefully.”

“If he goes down, we are all lost as Canadians. If a pastor goes to prison, what can they do to the rest of us?” the younger Pawlowski said.

‘Seen This Movie Before’

In a video recording played by his son, Mr. Pawlowski also addressed the European Parliament—as a political dissident “born behind the Iron Curtain of Poland, crushed by the iron fist of oppression” in Canada.

“Freedom is more than a word—it’s a measure of our humanity, courage, and determination. It’s a cost borne by soldiers, journalists, and volunteers,” he said.

Mr. Pawlowski told The Epoch Times he had received offers of money and government positions in exchange for his silence, but he’s “not for sale.”

“I have seen this movie before” under communism in Poland, he said. “It does not end well.”

31/07/2023

Technocracy, a form of governance where decision-making is left to a group of technical experts, has become deeply entrenched in governments globally and is doing more harm than good for the people, according to law professor Bruce Pardy.

“It’s the crowning achievement so far of that belief—the belief that in order for civilization to carry on and to be successful, that we need experts in a bureaucracy, managing things so that things don’t fall apart. And that is a belief that I think, I’m afraid, is probably widely held, and widely held even across the political spectrum,” Mr. Pardy, a professor at Queen’s University and told the host of EpochTV’s American Thought Leaders program, Jan Jekielek, in an interview on July 18.

Mr. Pardy, who is a professor of law at Queen’s University, is also the executive director of Rights Probe, an organization that researches the “shifting legal ground” of Western democracies. Canada’s experience with the technocratic model over the past while—particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic—has shown that “it doesn’t work,” Mr. Pardy said.

“If anything else, they have shown during COVID their incompetency. They’ve shown that they’re captured by other interests against which they’re supposed to be protecting the public.”

Critics of governments’ responses to the pandemic have said that restrictions such as long periods of lockdowns, implemented to the neglect of human well-being, have resulted in business bankruptcy, job loss, mounting debt, as well as spikes in suicides, drug overdoses, family breakdowns, domestic violence, and child abuse.

Vaccine mandates pushed by the federal and provincial governments have also divided Canadians, according to a poll conducted by Leger in September 2021.

The poll found that a vast majority of vaccinated people in Canada believed that the unvaccinated “are behaving irresponsibly, are being selfish, and [are] putting others at risk.”

This was against the backdrop that COVID vaccine efficacy was debated among medical professionals. Those holding dissenting views were often labelled as “conspiracy theorists” or “not following the science.”

Meanwhile, mounting cases of vaccine injuries were occurring at the same time as growing efforts by authorities to control vaccine hesitancy by censoring reports and studies on the potential harms of COVID vaccination.

‘Biggest Risk to Us All’

Mr. Pardy challenged the belief that a technocratic government will benefit society.

“If the failure is so obvious during COVID, what makes you think that they’d be any good at very many other things?” Mr. Pardy said.

“I think we can go down a whole long list of things that we think they’re good for, and find out actually, that in many of these situations, it is the state itself that is the biggest danger. The biggest risk to us all is the meddling that the state is able to do.”

He said the Freedom Convoy movement against vaccine mandates and restrictions in early 2022 was the first significant sign in ordinary people that they didn’t believe their government was acting in their best interests.

“The truckers were a moment, a moment in time, where people stood up and said ‘We don’t trust you.’”

Mr. Pardy, however, noted there were also many who supported the government’s stance.

“The biggest disappointment is the support that an awful lot of people gave this program and wanted more of it without seeming to have any significant appreciation for the aberration that it represented,” he said.

‘Licence to Punish’

The professor said one can see “a lot of the problems” across society through the lens of environmental law, the subject he focused on when he first started his academic career.

He cited examples including “the dilution of private rights, … the disappearance of certain kinds of due process, … and the erosion of what we thought were our constitutional rights.”

“The whole thing is sort of veering off the track in my view,” Mr. Pardy said. “It’s a very interesting microcosm, or case study, of the larger legal picture in which the ground really is moving beneath our feet in ways that we don’t suspect.”

The professor also warned about the “pretend diversity” advocated in the doctrine of equity, inclusion, and diversity by social justice warriors being adopted by authorities.

“If the government has a licence to treat people differently, depending upon their identity, then they now have a licence to punish and reward as they wish,” he said.

Mr. Pardy argued that an administrative state and its people “are inclined to see the rule of law as an obstacle and inconvenience” to achieving the kind of society they want.

What they’re failing to understand, he said, is that this so-called obstacle and inconvenience provided by the rule of law is there in fact “to prevent you from managing things on a case-by-case, one-off basis, making up things as you go along.”

“If you are going to adjust your rules for every particular case, so as to provide the outcome that you want, that means you don’t really have a rule at all,” he said.

‘No Accountability’

Mr. Pardy said the separation of powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches is crucial within government, and although the idea of checks and balances still exists as a principle, “in practice, it’s just heading out the door.”

“So what happens is, the legislature passes statutes that give broad rule-making power to the executive branch. And the courts defer to the decisions of the executive branch. And the legislature even gives the executive branch the power to adjudicate things … in tribunals, or boards, or commissions and so on,” he said.

“So you have the executive branch now, making rules, deciding cases, and executing. They’re doing the three jobs of the three different branches, all in one branch.

“And of course, there’s no accountability, because you don’t know who’s doing what now. And they’re … all in on it together,” he added.

30/07/2023

For China watchers, the arrest of a retired RCMP officer for allegedly helping China with its interference efforts in Canada is not surprising, given Beijing’s extensive network of spies and agents in Canada and its ambitions for global domination.

Scott McGregor, a former Canadian Armed Forces intelligence operator and intelligence adviser to the RCMP, says Canada is particularly infested with a proportionally higher number of CCP agents compared to other countries.

This is due to a number of factors, including “ease of entering, the massive support network and depth of infiltration, abundance of natural resources, and lack of enforcement,” he said.

China’s operations, he told The Epoch Times, “are all part of a much larger strategy, undermining the West and rising up to world domination by 2049.”

The 2049 mark is a reference to the Chinese Communist Party’s program to surpass the United States as the global superpower on the 100th anniversary of the CCP’s takeover of China in 1949.

Mr. McGregor describes the plan as “a concerted and intentional effort that seeks to control all aspects of Western society.”

Arrest

William Majcher, who had been living in Hong Kong, was arrested by the RCMP in British Columbia on July 20 on charges that he allegedly used his knowledge and network of Canadian contacts to obtain intelligence or services to benefit the People’s Republic of China. He was granted bail on July 25, with his lawyer saying he plans to plead not guilty. His charges have not yet been tested in court.

A second former Mountie is listed in court documents as one of the individuals Mr. Majcher allegedly conspired with, though the second person hasn’t been charged.

Mr. McGregor says that since Hong Kong is a former British colony, it serves as an “excellent conduit for illicit activity,” which has been exploited by the CCP.

“Leveraging their connections and infiltration in the West, they [the CCP] have been able to wage hybrid warfare by using lawfare and political influence to meet objectives,” he said.

CCP’s lawfare efforts include its extension of security law outside China’s borders to capture targets overseas. Among these efforts are Operation Fox Hunt and Operation Skynet, which aim to bring targeted individuals back to China to face prosecution.

The latest development comes as recently leaked intelligence documents continue to show that China has been extensively attempting to interfere in Canada’s electoral system, to the extent of funding candidates. As well, recent revelations of covert Chinese police stations operating on Canadian soil, and increased instances of CCP harassing and intimidating Chinese and Hong Kong diaspora groups, have added to mounting calls by opposition parties and Chinese dissident groups for the government to curb Beijing’s operations in Canada.

Chinese Agents

Back in 2005, Chinese defectors Chen Yonglin, a former Chinese diplomat, and Hao Fengjing, a former officer with China’s security apparatus, said China is running 1,000 spies and informants in Canada. The two, who had defected to Australia, said the spies were primarily engaged in harassing Falun Gong adherents and stealing commercial secrets.

Mr. McGregor says he believes the number to be much higher, depending on what definition is used for who is a CCP agent.

“Not only are there actual MSS [China’s Ministry of State Security] spies, PLA [China’s People’s Liberation Army] agents, criminals such as triads, and Chinese police intelligence operatives, but also those working for China in the diaspora as required by China’s National Security Law,” he said.

He thinks the number has increased substantially since 2005, particularly because of the expansion of the operations of the CCP’s United Front Work Department. The organization is the Chinese regime’s primary foreign interference tool, according to studies cited by Public Safety Canada.

The 2019 book “Chinese Spies” by French journalist Roger Faligot, based on documents and extensive interviews with intelligence officials and analysts, says that according to the FBI, in the year 2000 there were nearly 2,000 Chinese regime officials, diplomats, and journalists based in Canada and the United States giving cover to the top layer of Chinese intelligence operators.

The book adds that the great number of Chinese international students, “even if only a minority were professional secret agents—offered considerable opportunities for targeting laboratories and research centres.”

“This figure does not include the large numbers of tourists, touring circuses, and Beijing opera companies, all naturally accompanied by many agents, who keep their eye on more than the visiting performers during such visits,” the book says.

In an interview with The Epoch Times, former diplomat Mr. Chen also said the number of Chinese agents in Canada has increased substantially since the early 2000s.

Canada a Target

Mr. Chen says countries like Canada and Australia are always targets of the CCP because they are developed nations, but also because of their close relations with the United States.

“America is always the biggest enemy of the Chinese regime,” he said. As a close ally, Canada has access to many sensitive American assets and intelligence, such as weapons research, that are sought by the CCP, Mr. Chen said.

But for the CCP, the issue is that the United States has far stricter security protocols and checks, whereas Canada is a lot more lax in its security measures, he notes.

“The governments [in Canada and Australia] have even signed research cooperation agreements with China,” he says. “They are the weak part of the alliance.”

Opposition parties were in an uproar after it was revealed that Canada’s highest-security infectious-disease laboratory in Winnipeg collaborated with Chinese military researchers between 2016 and 2020, and one Chinese military scientist was even granted access to the lab.

Canada was also planning to hold joint military training with China on Canadian soil, with the event being cancelled only after the United States raised concerns about the decision in 2019, documents released a year later show.

Hidden Safe Houses

Mr. Chen says that while the CCP maintains high priority on the operations of the MSS, PLA, and public security agents, and runs spying operations out of its consulates, it is also increasingly leveraging its United Front assets in host countries because they provide a base for agents and informants to operate under cover.

As well, some companies embedded in the Chinese community along with overseas branches of Chinese state-owned enterprises get used by Beijing to provide operation bases for Chinese agents, he says.

“It’s easier to hide a safe house on their property,” Mr. Chen said. He noted that these bases get used especially when the CCP has concern that an operation run by a consulate may garner more visibility and arouse suspicion, he said.

Operations

Mr. Chen says approximately half of Beijing’s assets are sent from China using Canada’s immigration system, which he says is very easy to use, while the rest are recruited directly in the host country.

“Locals cost less, and they can also use them on a casual basis, as part of an operation, and then abandon them once the operation is done,” he says.

Among those spies coming to Canada using the immigration system, some could be coming using technical credentials or using sponsored marriage routes, he says. They then end up working in technology companies and institutions, and even in the government, where they’ll have access to information that the CCP can take advantage of, he adds.

Besides sensitive government documents, the operatives could get access to preliminary academic documents, which get sent back to China, where a new piece of technology can go to production before it’s even patented in Canada or the United States.

“The problem is that China has a lot of civil-military fusion plans, and most of this information will be used in weapon research. That’s why China has made great achievements in the past 30 years, and they can compete in some weapon systems,” he says.

China’s infiltration of the academic community includes efforts such as the Thousand Talents Plan, academic partnerships between governments and institutions, and agents sent as students and scholars to universities abroad, he notes.

Mr. Chen says that while the overseas assets usually function independently, sometimes they cooperate on some important issues, such as cases involving influential dissidents.

Among the United Front network entities in countries like Canada are many groups in the Chinese community that visibly have close relations to the Chinese consulates. Chinese student associations set up in all major universities are another component of the network.

“These Chinese non-governmental organizations, like trade promotion associations and organizations like that, they could be nests of Chinese spies,” he says, adding that this also includes many Chinese state-owned media and their overseas staff.

Generational Planning

In their book “Nest of Spies,” journalist Fabrice de Pierrebourg and former Canadian Intelligence Security Service senior manager Michel Juneau-Katsuya say that China’s intelligence agencies plan their operations in “generational rather than calendar-year intervals.”

“This kind of long-term planning, all by itself and without further cleverness, is enough to baffle the fast-food mentality of western intelligence agencies,” the book says. “When the other side drops his guard, that’s the moment to activate one’s sources. Also, if you flood the enemy with an overwhelming number of agents, some might be caught but several will succeed.”

Many agents are recruited at a young age while still at university and are sent to Western countries while in their 20s, the book says.

“Ten, fifteen, twenty years pass. During this time the sleeper agent has not had a single contact with the home base. Then, one day, he or she receives the signal that means ‘activate.'”

While Western intelligence agencies prefer to train professionals for the task, the Chinese “are happy to make use of anybody who has a round-trip airline ticket to a foreign country.”

“The Chinese national who goes abroad is pressured into returning home with whatever information he or she can find,” the authors write. They add that the CCP of course looks out for those who can more professionally carry out the task as well, with “talent spotters” looking for people who may be recruitable.

China’s espionage activities cover a wide range, the book notes, including economic espionage, supervision and control of dissidents abroad, as well as political and military spying.

“Looking at the number of Chinese diplomats posted to Canada is useful. It’s much more extensive than we see in embassies of similar size,” the book says, referring to espionage activities run out of Chinese diplomatic missions.

Leverage

Mr. Chen, the former diplomat, says that while some of China’s assets may be motivated by money, many are coerced into helping the regime because of the CCP’s threats toward their families or business operations back in China.

He adds that, to aid in its various operations and ways in which it can use different people, the CCP has been collecting data on its citizens at home and abroad.

“They collect data for overseas individual Chinese people, if they have connections, if they’re prominent,” he says. “They want to see if they can use that information in the future, and further infiltrate the West.”

A phenomenon that is seen increasingly more nowadays is the prevalence of non-Chinese people acting on behalf of the CCP, Mr. Chen adds.

“They are recruited by money, as the Western economy is declining,” he says.

Exploiting Western Democracy

Mr. Chen says the CCP has become proficient at exploiting loopholes in democratic countries and spends huge sums of money to indirectly use different entities to lobby the Canadian government for policies that favour Beijing.

“China knows the weaknesses of the democratic system, and they use that to influence Australia and Canada and other Western countries,” he says.

He says the CCP also exploits the progressive movement, attempting to gain the upper hand when it comes to human rights by blaming the history of the treatment of the indigenous people in countries like Canada and Australia, while it continues to brutally suppress human rights inside China’s borders.

It also exploits racism labelling, he says, by fuelling the movement that deflects criticism of the CCP as racism against Chinese people, thus stifling those who call out Beijing’s abuses.

“They use this for [CCP’s] purpose, to hide their network,” Mr. Chen says.

‘Disconnect’

In their book, Mr. de Pierrebourg and Mr. Juneau-Katsuya question why there are no Chinese agents getting charged with economic or industrial espionage in Canada, whereas in “the United States, Great Britain, and Australia there is an average of one trial per month.”

In the case of the United States in more recent years—”Nest of Spies” was published in 2010—sometimes U.S. prosecutors announce new China-related espionage cases almost every week.

The RCMP did charge an individual employed with Hydro-Québec in November 2022 with economic espionage under the Security of Information Act. This was the first time such a charge was laid in Canada, and there have been no other such arrests since then.

“There really is a dramatic disconnect between Canada’s indifference and our allies’ active concern,” write Mr. de Pierrebourg and Mr. Juneau-Katsuya.
