ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US over sale: Report TikTok parent would rather have it shutdown in US than have it sold to a US buyer with algorithms, Reuters reported. The article reports that ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, is considering shutting down the app's operations in the United States rather than selling it, according to sources familiar with the matter. This decision is prompted by the U.S. government's escalating scrutiny and pressure on TikTok due to concerns over national security and data privacy. The U.S. government has threatened to ban TikTok if it remains under Chinese ownership, raising fears about potential access to American user data by the Chinese government. ByteDance's stance comes as it weighs its options to comply with U.S. demands, but the company prefers closure over selling its U.S. operations. The decision underscores the intense geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China, reflecting broader concerns about technology, security, and global competition. While ByteDance has yet to make a final decision, the shutdown option highlights the severe challenges TikTok faces in the U.S. market, where the app has amassed a significant user base. The development indicates that the future of TikTok in the U.S. remains uncertain amidst ongoing debates and regulatory pressures. ✤ Source: Aljazeera | YouTube 🌐 ▶️ ➥ Join: Casting Out Deceptions ✅️

WATCH: Motsepe funding all political parties, but only loyal to one The billionaire said all political parties should be held to account, including the ANC.

'One of the biggest problems in South Africa is corruption',

CAF president Motsepe says Patrice Motsepe, head of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), who is also the brother-in-law of South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa, spoke exclusively to FRANCE 24 about whether he intends to run for president in his home country. "There are people who will do a much better job than I ever can", he replied when asked about a possible presidential bid. Motsepe also said that corruption was "one of the biggest problems in South Africa". South African billionaire businessman Patrice Motsepe has admitted to funding political parties, including the African National Congress (ANC), among others. He mentioned that his donations were made with transparency, aimed at supporting democracy. Motsepe clarified that his support wasn't intended to influence policies or secure favours but to strengthen political parties and democracy in South Africa. This funding has attracted public attention, raising questions about the role of wealthy individuals in politics and the potential for undue influence. ✤ Source: The Citizen | YouTube🌐 ▶️ ➥ Join: Casting Out Deceptions ✅️

The world is quick to cry foul when someone with dark skin faces discrimination. However, despite 30 years of "democracy," the South African government has enacted 116 laws targeting white citizens based on race. These range from racial quotas in sports to Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) in the workplace. These racial policies are justified under seemingly positive terms like "rectification," "equality," "diversity," and "transformation." Yet, the reality is that they often lead to inequality, corruption, self-enrichment, and the deterioration of public services. How long will these laws persist? Another 30 years? A century? Indefinitely? Every child deserves a fair shot at life. ➥ Join: Casting Out Deceptions ✅️

Is NASA Lying About The Flat Earth? Around the year 240 BC, a Greek mathematician named Eratosthenes came forward with a bold claim: he had determined the circumference of the Earth. But it wasn't bold because he claimed the Earth was round - they knew that already. It was bold because it contradicted an earlier measurement given by the legendary philosopher Aristotle. And Aristotle wasn't bold to proclaim a spherical earth; he'd learned that from someone else. With that in mind, the next question becomes "how did flat earth theory come back after all these years, and do their arguments have any merit?"

Kimberley Protestors Rally Against Government’s BELA Bill Protestors in Kimberley have taken to the streets in opposition to the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Bill, citing concerns over its impact on parental rights, school autonomy, and community involvement in education. The marchers believe the proposed bill grants excessive power to the government at the expense of local school governing bodies and parents' roles in shaping their children's education. Critics of the BELA Bill argue that it could centralize authority in the education system, reducing the diversity and unique character of schools. They fear the bill could disrupt the current structure and functionality of educational institutions by limiting the decision-making power of local stakeholders. Protestors voiced concerns about the bill's potential to undermine parental involvement in educational matters. They questioned the government's motive in pursuing such a controversial piece of legislation, suggesting it could be part of a broader agenda to centralize control over schools. The demonstrators called for the government to engage more openly with stakeholders, including parents and school governing bodies, to address their worries and seek alternative solutions that do not infringe on local autonomy. Their rallying cry underscored a commitment to maintaining a balance between government oversight and the rights of local communities to influence their educational environments. ✤ Source: News24 🌐 ➥ Join: Casting Out Deceptions ✅️

Controversial Activist Billboard Chris Launches Australian Tour to Criticize 'Gender-Affirming Care' for Children Melbourne, Australia — Chris Elston, widely known as "Billboard Chris," has arrived in Australia to campaign against gender-affirming care for children. His visit is part of a 10-day tour through Melbourne and Sydney, where he plans to engage with the public and visit universities to promote his views. Elston, who gained notoriety in North America for his opposition to transgender healthcare for minors, argues that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-affirming surgeries should not be used to support children who identify as transgender. He claims such treatments constitute child abuse and has made it his mission to challenge the practice. "Children don’t need puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries to be their true selves," Elston stated in a public address. "‘Gender-affirming care’ is child abuse, and we need to talk about it, so I’ll be hitting the streets and visiting universities in Melbourne and Sydney over the next 10 days to do just that." Elston's stance has sparked heated debates in the past, with critics accusing him of promoting anti-transgender rhetoric and undermining the rights and identities of transgender youth. Despite these criticisms, he remains committed to his cause, emphasizing the need for public dialogue on the issue. "One conversation at a time, we are going to stop the greatest child abuse scandal in modern history," Elston declared, signaling his intention to confront what he perceives as a significant social issue. As he travels through Australia's major cities, Elston's presence is expected to draw attention and potentially ignite further discussion about the role of gender-affirming care in society. ➥ Join: Casting Out Deceptions ✅️

Screenshot from a video showing a biological boy who "identifies" as a girl viciously beating a biological girl at Lebanon Middle School on April 18th, 2024. South Africa: Be warned, this is coming to our schools too. It's time to rise before this happens, make sure the Bela Bill does not see the light of day. TRANSGENDER 6TH GRADER BRUTALLY BEATS GIRL AT LEBANON MIDDLE SCHOOL LEBANON, Ind. — REAL News Central Indiana has obtained video showing a biological boy, who claims to be a girl, viciously attacking a female student in the hallway at Lebanon Middle School. It turns out, this is the same transgender student who has raised major concerns within the school district for his use of the girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms. RNCI tracked down the father of the victim, and at his request, decided not to publish the video on this website — instead, we agreed only to publish a screenshot from the video as seen above. Below is a description of what the video shows. In the video, the biological boy asks his friend “Are you recording?” The boy’s friend responds by saying “Just pull her hair.” At this point, the boy works his way through a crowd to the 6th grade girl he is planning to attack. He appears to yell the girl’s name before grabbing her by her ponytail from behind and dragging her to the ground. The boy then stands over the young girl, punching her in the face approximately 10 times as she screams for help and uses her arms in an attempt to protect herself from the rapid succession of blows to her head. ✤ Continue Reading... 🗞 📰 ➥ Join: Casting Out Deceptions ✅️

NCOP decides on amendments to Bela Bill The National Council of Provinces Select Committee on Education and Technology has amended the Basic Education Laws Amendment (Bela) Bill by removing the powers of the head of department to determine the language policy of a school. In new amendments tabled on Wednesday, the committee has proposed that the School Governing Body (SGB) must have powers to decide the language policy of a public school. Parliament’s legal adviser Phumelele Ngema said the proposal followed discussions in the committee. She said the HOD may direct a school to have more than one language. Ngema also clarified that the Bill clearly states that Grade R would be compulsory. This clarification came in response to questions from committee members regarding funding for Grade R. Ngema said the Bill was dealing with the running of schools and not budgets allocated to schools. ➣ Continue Reading... 📚 👀 ➥ Join: #LeaveOurKidsAloneSA ➥ LOKA Chat Group

Cancer cases are increasing due to COVID vaccines, but Big Government and Big Pharma want you to look the other way Microbiologist Dr. Kevin McKernan has discovered high levels of double-stranded DNA plasmids floating around the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. This DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines is a significant problem because the replicable DNA plasmids can invade human cells and bacteria in the gut, which can lead to the replication of antibiotic-resistant genes, sepsis, cancer and other health issues. Besides the DNA contamination, McKernan also discovered the presence of Simian virus (SV40) promoters in Pfizer's mRNA vaccine. The SV40 found in the vaccine is just a viral piece – not the whole virus. However, it still presents a risk of driving cancer. ✤ Continue Reading... 🗞📰 ➥ Join: Casting Out Deceptions ✅️

From TikTok to FoxChats: Escaping Government Overreach in the Digital Age Recent events have brought the issue of government control over social media platforms into sharp focus. The U.S. Senate's passage of a bill that forces TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell its American operations or face a ban has raised concerns about the broader implications for freedom of speech and government overreach. Critics argue that this could set a dangerous precedent, allowing governments to exert greater control over social media, potentially compromising open dialogue and user privacy. This article explores the underlying motives behind the U.S. government's push to control social media companies and introduces an alternative: FoxChats, a South African-based social network that values freedom of expression and is free from excessive government control. Our introduction is based on an article inspired by [PennLive], highlighting recent legislative developments and the need for alternatives to platforms at risk of government interference. ✤ Read: Senate passes bill forcing TikTok’s parent company to sell or face ban, sends to Biden for signature🌐 ✤ Our Thoughts on the situation: The American Government's Agenda: What Lies Beneath the Push for Social Media Control? #SocialMedia #TikTok #FoxChats ➥ Join: Casting Out Deceptions ✅️

Ramaphosa Blames Apartheid Yet Again for South Africa’s Economic Woes President Cyril Ramaphosa once again attributes South Africa's economic troubles to the lingering effects of Apartheid, according to the Daily Investor. Critics question whether this is a valid explanation or a convenient excuse to avoid addressing more immediate issues like corruption and mismanagement. The comparison with Singapore's per capita GDP growth over a similar period underscores the possibility that poor governance, rather than historical injustice, may be a more significant factor in South Africa's economic struggles. This perspective raises concerns about a victim mentality among leadership and the potential for it to stifle innovation. As South Africa's sectors like mining and agriculture continue to decline, critics argue that continued reliance on Apartheid as a scapegoat may prevent the country from making meaningful progress. A victim mentality among the leadership might discourage bold decision-making and impede the kind of governance needed to drive economic growth and address systemic issues like crime and corruption. Ultimately, lasting change may require leaders to take responsibility and foster greater accountability and innovation, moving away from the blame game and towards a more effective approach to solving South Africa's complex economic challenges. ✤ Sources: The Daily Investor | Alt News Network 🌐 ➥ Join: Casting Out Deceptions ✅️

The Oscars To Set Woke Standards The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, will undergo significant changes in 2025 with the introduction of new Representation and Inclusion Standards (RAISE). These rules are aimed at fostering diversity and inclusion within Hollywood, requiring filmmakers to meet certain criteria concerning the inclusion of underrepresented groups in production and narrative aspects. The guidelines cover everything from casting actors of colour to ensuring diversity among writers, producers, and technical staff, with full details available on the Oscars website. The new RAISE standards have sparked controversy, with critics arguing that these rules might restrict creativity and enforce a rigid sense of political correctness. The concern is that by mandating specific quotas, filmmakers might focus more on compliance than on artistic expression. This approach, according to detractors, could lead to tokenism and a checkbox mentality, potentially overshadowing other critical elements of filmmaking like storytelling, direction, and performance. Critics worry that these requirements could ultimately dilute the artistic excellence for which the Oscars are known. Supporters of the new standards view them as a crucial step toward a more equitable film industry, contending that without such measures, Hollywood would continue to marginalize underrepresented voices and perspectives. They believe that these rules will encourage broader representation and reflect a more accurate and inclusive view of society. As the 2025 Oscars draw near, the debate over these standards is set to intensify, raising questions about whether these changes will enhance the diversity of Hollywood or lead to unintended consequences that limit artistic freedom. ✤ Sources: Roger Ebert | Alt News Network 🌐 ➥ Join: Casting Out Deceptions ✅️
