According to tradition, St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew evangelized the region of Armenia in the first century. In the year 301, it became the first nation to declare itself Christian. Through centuries of warfare and oppression, its Christian identity has endured as part of Armenian culture, despite repeated attempts by neighbors to stamp it out.  In 1915, the Turkish Ottoman Empire killed an estimated 1.2 million people during what has become known as the Armenian Genocide. Under the pretext that they were insufficiently loyal to the empire, Ottoman authorities shot entire villages, forcibly converted families to Islam, and marched hundreds of thousands of women and children into the Syrian desert to die. The brutal campaign of extermination led to a significant diaspora of Armenians to other countries.   Even after Armenia emerged from Soviet dominance and declared itself an independent republic at the end of the 20th century, peace has remained elusive. Armenia has faced decades of conflict over the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region, where some 100,000 Armenian Christians now live but which Muslim-majority Azerbaijan sees as its territory. In 2020, as the world was preoccupied with the global pandemic, Azerbaijan waged war against Armenia. Seven thousand lives were taken, and the region has remained in the shadow of a fragile ceasefire since.   Today, most Armenians exist in a state of uncertainty. Given their control over the region, it may be that Azerbaijan is poised to commit a second Armenian genocide. According to University Network for Human Rights researcher Thomas Becker,  Over the past decade, Azerbaijani officials have invoked language used in the Rwandan genocide and the Holocaust, referring to Armenians as a “cancer tumor” and a “disease” to be “treated.” More recently, the country's authoritarian leader Ilham Aliyev has threatened to “drive [Armenians] away like dogs.”  The situation seems dire with Russia, Armenia's ostensible security guarantor, bogged down in its own war against Ukraine, and with Iran, Armenia's southern neighbor eager to fill the security vacuum. However, an unexpected recent development is that a significant number of Armenia's diaspora population has been returning to their homeland. After a hundred years of exile and living in places like Russia, France, and the United States, an estimated 50,000 Armenians repatriated prior to 2020, with thousands more joining them every year since.   For some, the motivation to return is economic. For others, it's about standing with fellow Armenians in the face of war. However, for many, the calling is about their faith. As the dean of Armenian Apostolic seminary put it, “We as a nation are called to witness to Jesus Christ in a very difficult region. … Our very existence is a testimony of Christianity.”  Lara Setrakian, an Armenian American journalist, moved back with her family at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. In a recent podcast, she put it this way,   I am doing what I'm called to do … and it is to be a helper like Mr. Rogers would say. It is a catastrophe. There are crises. But I want to be among the helpers. … We're not interested in not being Christian ... For Christians … this country is one big test of faith. And people I see are rising to the occasion. And they are finding strength, and they … have not ever given up. … They haven't given up the cross; they haven't given up their language, their love, their dance. They embody the resilience that we're all looking for.   Another repatriated Armenian mused, “In America, I had a good life: a big house, a good car. But when I say, ‘good life,' I mean something else.”  As so many in the West reel from a crisis of meaning, Armenian Christians have found joy in the face of severe hardship. In that way, we have much to learn from our Armenian brothers and sisters, even as we ask God to bless them, to strengthen their faith, and to bring peace to the nation they are rebuilding.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Kasey Leander.

Is healthcare a human right? That's today's big question, and it clearly shouldn't be a question, but here we are. My guest to help explain the obvious today is Dr. Sheila Davis, the CEO of Partners in Health. Sheila entered the global health arena in 1999, responding to the global HIV and AIDS pandemic. A few years later, she co-founded a small NGO that worked in both South Africa and Boston on a wide array of health projects, including the operation of a rural village nurse clinic. She joined PIH in 2010 as their main operation in Haiti was torn apart by the earthquake there and worked her way up over the years, becoming the Chief of the Ebola response during the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic. And then as the Chief of Clinical Operations and the Chief Nursing Officer, Sheila oversaw nursing efforts as well as the supply chain, medical informatics, laboratory infrastructure, and quality improvement activities.Dr. Davis is a frequent national speaker on global health and clinical topics, including HIV and AIDS, the Ebola epidemic, leadership in public health, and the role of nursing and human rights. And folks, if it is not clear enough for the past few years, just in the US, much less everywhere around the world, yes, healthcare is a human right, and everyone deserves a fair shake. -----------Have feedback or questions?

North Koreans are subjected to some of the worst human rights abuses on Earth, living under a state that refuses to cooperate with the U.N. and other watchdogs and does whatever it takes to keep the Kim dynasty in power. But Joanna Hosaniak of the Citizens' Alliance for North Korean Human Rights says that regime change is not necessarily the answer. Instead, she argues that the international community must learn to work within the confines of the North Korean state to realize change from within. This week, Hosaniak joins the NK News podcast to discuss the history of the North Korean human rights movement and how her group leverages its nongovernmental status to push for improvements. She also talks about how DPRK human rights has become politicized in South Korea, the impacts of COVID lockdowns on defectors and whether it's time for a new U.N. Commission of Inquiry investigation into human rights abuses in the country. Joanna Hosaniak is the deputy director general of the Citizens' Alliance for North Korean Human Rights (@NKHumanRights), the world's oldest nongovernmental organization devoted exclusively to North Korean human rights. She has also worked at the South Korean Embassy in Poland and the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot (@JaccoZed) exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

Susan Crabtree— RealClearPolitics White House & National Political Correspondent—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest series of articles, “The Long Road to Confronting China's War on Religion.” Crabtree writes, “[t]wo researchers…uncovered compelling evidence that Chinese surgeons are systematically removing organs from prisoners while they are still alive, providing on-demand supplies for what has become China's billion-dollar organ export industry.” You can read Crabtree's full article here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2023/05/05/the_long_road_to_confronting_chinas_war_on_religion_part_ii.html

Dr. Stephany Powell provides a unique insight into the world of sexual exploitation and trafficking throughout her appearance on Next Steps Forward, which she gained from her thirty years with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). This experience, coupled with her passion for education and heart for community, make Dr. Powell an incredible leader in the movement to end sexual exploitation and as the Vice President and Director of Law Enforcement Training and Survivor Services at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. Chris Meek is honored to welcome Dr. Powell to the program. As Dr. Powell puts it, “I do this work because as a former police officer I have seen the physical and emotional aftermath of human trafficking. Based on this personal knowledge, I don't want to see another person endure or experience this type of suffering and abuse.”

It's Tuesday, May 9th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@theWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Oregon denied woman adoption over her Biblical view on sexuality Alliance Defending Freedom has filed a federal lawsuit against the Oregon Department of Human Services for denying a Christian woman's right to adopt because she opposes homosexuality and transgenderism. Jessica Bates, a widow and single mom of five children, got in trouble in the adoption process for refusing to agree with the state policy which affirms sexual sins. ADF Senior Counsel Jonathan Scruggs noted that, “Oregon's policy amounts to an ideological litmus test: people who hold secular or ‘progressive' views on sexual orientation and gender identity are eligible to participate in child welfare programs, while people of faith, with religiously- informed views, are disqualified because they don't agree with the state's orthodoxy.” Germany cracking down on homeschoolers again Germany cracked down on Christians who were homeschooling their children in the early 2000s.   But now, the German government has denied accreditation to a program produced by the Association for Decentralized Learning, reports CBN News. It's a part-time homeschool, part-time classroom approach. The administrative courts were concerned that “the students spend little time together during breaks and between lessons.”   This denial of accreditation comes despite the fact that the school has a record of  taking the “same examinations as those in public schools and maintaining above average grade points.”   Alliance Defending Freedom International is appealing the case to the European Court of Human Rights.  Uganda cracks down on homosexuality In other international news, the African nation of Uganda is moving towards stricter control on the sin of homosexual behavior, reports The Monitor. Among the new provisions is the requirement to report a homosexual crime when a child is involved. Failure to do so would result in five years in jail or a fine of about $3,000. Plus, the “knowing promotion” of homosexuality in Ugandan society could also result in a 20-year prison sentence.  Romans 13:4-5 reminds us that the civil magistrate “is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.” Montana's five new pro-life laws Montana's Republican Governor, Greg Gianforte, signed five pro-life bills into law last week, reports The Associated Press. The bills ban infanticide after birth as well as all abortions after viability. Sadly, mothers will still be permitted to kill their unborn babies under 24 weeks of age gestationally.   Also, they will have to pay for the killings themselves. The new legislation forbids the use of taxpayer money to kill babies in Montana.  Trump-era immigration restrictions about to be lifted This Thursday, Trump-era restrictions on immigration will be lifted.  The Biden administration anticipates about 13,000 illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. on a daily basis — or about 5,000,000 illegals a year. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has issued a "Texas Tactical Border Force” to ward off some of the inflow. ABBOTT:  “Texas is doing more than any state in the history of the United States of America to defend our border. That includes deploying up to 10,000 National Guard members and 1,200 Texas Department of Public Safety Troopers.” U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz reports record numbers this weekend including 26,382 apprehensions and 7,399 “got-aways” over the last three days. Between 2010 and 2020, the Border Patrol reported an average of about 1,400 arrests per day.  Double Texas tragedy As The Worldview reported on May 8th, a mass-murder at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas on Saturday left eight people dead — in what turned out to be the second most deadly mass shooting in 2023. Suspect Mauricio Garcia was shot by police.   Then, on Sunday morning, a driver plowed his SUV into a crowd of Venezuelans outside a migrant center in Brownsville, Texas, killing eight and wounding another 10 people, reports ABC News. Police have arrested suspect/driver George Alvarez in the rampage. Texas GOP Rep resigns over alleged affair with aide Also in Texas news, former Baptist pastor, and Texas GOP House Representative Bryan Slaton resigned from his position in the legislature after news surfaced concerning his alleged affair with a 19-year-old female staffer.  The House Committee on General Investigating had recommended his expulsion. Slaton was an advocate for abolishing abortion in Texas, and he had attempted a bill to make abortion punishable by death back in 2021. Proverbs 25:26 says, “A righteous man who falters before the wicked Is like a murky spring and a polluted well.” Troubling inflation vs. solid precious metals And finally, it's been a bad year for inflation and everything else, except for silver and gold.   Silver is up 22% year over year, now at $25.60 per ounce.  Gold is up 8%, year-over-year, at $2,020 per ounce, reports Reuters. The NASDAQ Composite Index is down 11% year-over-year, and Bitcoin is down 21% year-over-year.  Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, May 9th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Artificial Intelligence -AI- is becoming an increasingly popular news topic, not surprisingly because of the possible uses. It can be used to monitor the movement of populations and therefore track your every step. According to Bill Gates it can even be used to replace teachers.--Will this technology ultimately be used for good or evil-- It depends on who you look to. The White House says they've rolled out a plan to promote -ethical- AI with Vice President Kamala Harris in charge. --Returning to Crosstalk to tackle this issue was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. He is co-author of Crimes of the Educators and author of Deep State- The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes. He is founder of Liberty Sentinel.--According to Alex, AI is advancing so rapidly that even the people creating it don't understand it and can't keep up with it. It's been predicted that once this technology gets loose, it can improve itself at such a speed it could leave its creators -in the dust.- --Alex referenced a new Reuters article indicating that Alphabet, Inc. -the company that owns Google- is training their artificial intelligence to have a set of moral values. It draws from several sources including the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and Apple, Inc. data privacy rules. --Jim referenced a parental alert from the Child Protection League in Minnesota. They've indicated that the social media app popular among teens known as Snapchat assigns an AI -chatbot- to each customer.

In the first half of this week's show, Mickey and Project Censored intern Reagan Haynie speak with investigative reporter Alan MacLeod of MintPress News. MacLeod explains that a number of former high-ranking US military and security officials are now executives or board members in the video-game industry, notably with the firm that make the “Call of Duty” game, Activision. He also notes that game's portrayals of assassinations of foreign leaders as normal, and concludes that games like these are carefully designed propaganda/recruitment devices. Next, media analyst Nolan Higdon takes the corporate press to task for its refusal to fairly present alternatives to official doctrine about the Covid-19 pandemic and the measures needed to cope with its fallout. Finally, in light of Press Freedom Day, Project Censored associate director Andy Lee Roth explains the multiple ways that journalism truly is the lifeblood of democracy, and journalists serve the cause of human rights, including freedom of expression.

More than two decades have elapsed since the historic creation in 2002 of the UN's International Criminal Court (ICC), headquartered in The Hague. The Court was intended to investigate allegations of the worst human rights crimes (including genocide and war crimes) and to be a forum where victims can tell their truths and obtain justice. […]

2023 has become a year of recession, inflation, social and labor unrest, war, the ravages of climate etc. One casualty of that mess is the rule of law; justice seems to take a beating when times are bad. Why is that? The demand for justice is not only a basic human right, but also a human need. Is it possible to deliver effective justice at the individual level, to actually make justice systems work for people? Sam Muller, believes the answer is an emphatic, “Yes”. He founded and today leads the Hague Institute for Innovation of Law (HiiL) they are in the business of building “people-centered justice” that works for everyone.

She joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to make sense of the project.

Every year in India, industrial accidents kill thousands of people and leave thousands of others disabled for life. According to the government, at least 6,500 workers died on the job between 2017 and 2021. But labour activists say the figure could be higher. The victims of workplace accidents are often poor workers in factories or on construction sites. Yet India, now the most populous country in the world, wants to become an industrial power by encouraging investment and innovation. Our correspondents report.

When we're in the middle of counting the Omer (the time between Passover and Shavuot), it's hard NOT to think about what counts—in our actions, our thoughts, and especially in our words. We were thrilled to welcome back (this time as featured guest!) Rabbi Becky Jaye, Program Manager for Emor: The Institute for Bold Jewish Thought (a project of T'ruah!). We discuss the importance of finding diverse ways to interpret Jewish texts (and practices), and how we might enable people to open up the space for all to share their thoughts safely and clearly. How might we pause when in conversation in an effort to really get to the core of someone else's mindset? When we have meaningful and authentic discussions (say, like we do on this podcast), we are able to deeply hold each other in presence and relationships in beautiful and unexpected ways (even when it might be difficult).

Things have never been easy for the modern state of Israel over the past 75 years, including today where the government faces a wide variety of external and internal pressures. Over the past four years the government has struggled to build a lasting coalition, having five elections in that timeframe and watching countrywide protests erupt over their judicial reform bill in recent months. In addition, the country inhabits an inherently hostile space, as several of their neighbors see the state as illegitimate and take particular issue with the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. While there are no easy answers on the path to a two state solution, there are opportunities for progress.The Global in the Granite State podcast dives into the current state of affairs in Israel, bringing in a historical perspective, by speaking with Jason Isaacson, Chief Policy and Political Affairs Officer at the American Jewish Committee. By listening to this month's episode you will come away with a better understanding of the current challenges and opportunities that Israel faces as it celebrates its 75th anniversary. These include the recent challenge over the judicial reform bill, ongoing regional tensions that flared over into violence in the past few weeks, and the longstanding, unresolved issue of creating compromise with the Palestinian leadership. Jason Isaacson, Chief Policy and Political Affairs Officer at the American Jewish Committee, is a longtime analyst of U.S. political and strategic affairs and an advocate for Arab-Israeli peace. An observer to the 1991-92 Middle East peace talks in Madrid, Moscow, and Washington, he represented AJC at the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna; since 1993, he has coordinated periodic AJC ministerial meetings throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and Asia, including numerous visits that were the first by an American Jewish civic organization. He has lectured periodically at the Diplomatic Institute of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and the Jordan Institute of Diplomacy. In 2002, he was a Senior Visitor at St. Antony's College, Oxford University. Isaacson directed an AJC initiative to strengthen transatlantic cooperation on Middle East policy – resulting in the opening of the Transatlantic Institute in Brussels in 2004. In 2005, in Tunis, he convened an NGO seminar on tolerance-promotion on the Internet, in conjunction with the UN World Summit on the Information Society. In 2015, he coordinated in Brussels the Defining Moment for Europe conference on strategies to combat resurgent antisemitism. In 2007, the French Minister of Culture and Communication awarded him the rank of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters. In July 2009, King Mohammed VI bestowed on Isaacson the honor of Chevalier of the Order of the Throne of the Kingdom of Morocco.

Kate Adie presents stories from Thailand, Israel, Laos, Switzerland and Ireland. Thailand is standing at a crossroads, with many wondering if the country can move on to a more dynamic, democratic future in the forthcoming election on 14th May. Recent polls put progressive parties ahead, and on target to win a majority of the seats - but can they overcome the conservative status quo? Jonathan Head has been on the campaign trail with one of the young, progressive candidates hoping for change. Israel has been in the grip of nationwide protests over the right-wing coalition's plans for judicial reform, but Israeli Arabs have been conspicuous by their absence. Rhodri Davies spoke to people about why this is in an Arab city in northern Israel. Laos is the most bombed country in the world per capita and is still suffering the consequences of American air strikes 50 years ago. Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent heard stories of the dangers posed by unexploded ordinance to farmers and children. In Switzerland, thousands of older Swiss women, nicknamed 'Climate Grannies' are bringing a case against their government to the European Court of Human Rights, claiming the government's lack of action on climate change is putting their health at risk. Imogen Foulkes heard about their fight. And finally, as world leaders, both past and present, have descended on Ireland recently, and after Ireland's victory over England in the Six Nations Rugby grand slam, James Helm reflects on Irish soft power around the world.
