FACTS CHECKED: USA Today Reviews Our Article On Google Suspending Christ Church App For ‘Unapproved Sermon Material’ And Rates It As ‘True’
USA Today News Reviews And Fact Checks Now The End Begins Article On Google Suspending Church App For ‘Unapproved Sermon Material’ And Rates It As ‘True’.
As social distancing orders push more activities online, some are claiming that technology platforms are discriminating against apps because of their content.
I like it when new outlets fact check our work, because as editor-in-chief I fact check our content exhaustively before publishing it. The folks over at USA Today decided to fact check our recent article on Google deplatforming churches for ‘unapproved sermon material’, and they came to the proper conclusion rating it as ‘TRUE’. Thanks, USA Today,we appreciate that, our stories and articles are true, so is our bible teaching on the end times. You might want to fact check some of that stuff, too, it will be a blessing to you. But you’ll need a King James 1611 to check those facts.
“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24 (KJB)
I am happy this article is getting such attention because we need to put the spotlight on all the Liberal social media platforms, and they are all Liberals, because such discrimination happens all day, every day to Christian churches like Christ Church of Moscow, Idaho, and Christian ministries like Now The End Begins. Facebook put me in jail two weeks ago for ‘posting spam’, that’s what they called some photos I put on my profile of me and my daughter taking a walk in our neighborhood. The censorship is very real, and Christians needs to open their mouths and preach the gospel of the grace of God, and not worry about the outcome. Time is short, let’s get something done for the Lord while time remains.
Fact check: Did Google suspend a church’s app from Google Play?
FROM USA TODAY: The website Now The End Begins posted a story claiming that Christ Church of Moscow, Idaho, had its app suspended from Google Play, the company’s official app store. “Now that churches are closed with weekly services moved online, Google begins censoring ‘unapproved sermons’ and deleting their accounts,” the post reads.
Rod Dreher, a senior editor at The American Conservative, also wrote about the app’s removal, defending Christ Church’s pastors and speculating as to reasons for the app’s removal. The Washington Examiner then published an article on April 16 investigating the incident.
“We presume they’re talking about Pastor @douglaswils’ short lessons on responding faithfully to the COVID-19 crisis. Or maybe Pastor @TJSumpter’s sermon calling God’s people to humble repentance,” the church said in a tweet speculating as to why the app was removed. “Regardless – What gives, @Google?”
The removal of Christ Church’s app was not due to its religious content, a spokesperson for Google told USA TODAY, and Google is not aware of any trends in the removal of church livestreams, the spokesperson also said.
According to Christ Church, the fellowship’s app was suspended on April 10. The congregation tweeted that day criticizing the move.
Initially, the church received only a generic statement from Google as to why the app was removed, which according to the church stated: “We don’t allow apps that lack reasonable sensitivity towards or capitalize on a natural disaster, atrocity, conflict, death, or other tragic event.”
The language is from Google Play’s official policy banning inappropriate content on the platform. The company has recently sent identical messages to app developers who have used the app store to circulate supposed “coronavirus infection trackers.”
Google later reached out to the church specifying why the app was removed from Google Play. “During review, we found that your app violates the Sensitive Events policy,” the company said in an email to Christ Church. “We don’t allow apps that lack reasonable sensitivity towards or capitalize on a natural disaster, atrocity, conflict, death, or other tragic event.”
“For example, your app currently contains references to COVID-19 in the store listing screenshots and within the app experience. Please thoroughly check your app and remove all references, and any related terms to COVID-19, from the store listing and from within the app,” the email continues.
According to Google’s spokesperson, once the app is resubmitted after following the message’s instructions, it would be published for download on Google Play.
“So, essentially, merely referencing COVID-19 is putting us out of compliance with their ‘sensitive events’ policy. We are now evaluating the best way forward as we believe this is censorship, and wrong-headed,” Ben Zornes, Executive Minister of Christ Church, told USA TODAY.
YouTube, which is also owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, has a similar policy in its advertising guidelines specifying that videos that cover controversial issues or sensitive events are not eligible to be monetized for advertisements. The company has used this policy to demonetize videos about COVID-19, which has drawn criticism from some creators on the platform.
“Google came back to us and told us that we could resubmit our app without needing to remove any of the content in question,” Zornes told USA TODAY on Monday. The app is now again available for download on Google Play.
Our rating: True
Google suspended an app from the Google Play store that is associated with Christ Church, a Calvinist congregation in Moscow, Idaho. The company removed the app because of repeated references in the app to COVID-19, including blog posts and sermons. Christ Church had criticized the move and had said that it believes this to be censorship. The app was returned to Google Play, the church confirmed to USA TODAY on Monday. There does not appear to be any discrimination against Christ Church based on its religious beliefs. We rate this claim TRUE because it is supported by our research. READ MORE

Meta Boss Zuckerberg Admits To Colluding With The Biden-Harris Administration To Censor And Stifle American’s Right To Free Speech On Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg finally admitted that the Biden-Harris Admin pressured Facebook to censor what Americans could and could not post to Facebook
Let me take you back to the early days of the gain-of-function Pandemic, where all across social media something was taking place that could only rightly be called the Purge. Yes, the Hunter Biden laptop suppression was the anchor story at the time, but it was far from the only example of censorship. Facebook and Twitter were acting on the orders of the Biden-Harris administration, to remove, block and permanently unpublish anyone and everyone who dared speak the truth about the Wuhan virus or the gene editing ‘vaccine’. NTEB had a decade-old Facebook page with just under 250,000 followers that was unpublished for telling the truth.
“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14 (KJB)
Mark Zuckerberg lit up social media yesterday in his admission that they colluded with the Biden-Harris administration to censor posts about the Hunter Biden laptop, but so what? The suppression of that story was a mere fraction of the mountain of suppression wreaked by Zuckerberg on Facebook and Jack Dorsey on Twitter. Just about everything that was censored by the government and social media turned out to be true. COVID was engineered in a lab, it was intentionally released, the lockdown was all planned out to destroy the economy, the vaccine actually killed millions of people, and the list goes on and on. So Zuckerberg wants to admit to stopping the Biden Laptop story? Big deal, no, make that a plea deal.
One more thing. A vote for Comrade Kamala and her Richard Simmons-esque vice president pick Walz is a guarantee that the Gestapo-like levels of censorship we all endured during the Pandemic will remain firmly in place until at least 2028. If Mark Zuckerberg was truly repentant for what he has done to stop free speech, he would immediately order all unpublished pages to be put back up.
Zuckerberg Admits Facebook Killed Hunter Biden Laptop Story After FBI ‘Warned’ of ‘Russian Disinformation’
FROM BREITBART NEWS: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Facebook killed the Hunter Biden laptop story after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) “warned” of a “potential Russian disinformation operation,” and acknowledged that it “shouldn’t have demoted the story.”
In a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg wrote that after being warned by the FBI about a possible “Russian disinformation operation” regarding President Joe Biden’s family, Facebook went on to kill an article from the New York Post.
Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things:
1. Biden-Harris Admin “pressured” Facebook to censor Americans.
2. Facebook censored Americans.
3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Big win for free speech. pic.twitter.com/ALlbZd9l6K
— House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOP) August 26, 2024
In response to the article about “corruption allegations” about the Biden family, Facebook “sent that story to fact-checkers” and had it “temporarily demoted.”
“It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story,” Zuckerberg added. “We’ve changed our policies and processes to make sure this doesn’t happen again — for instance, we no longer temporarily demote things in the U.S. while waiting for fact-checkers.”
Zuckerberg’s admission comes after Breitbart News Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris has previously testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that the FBI had knowledge that the Hunter Biden laptop was real prior to December 2019, long before she had published a story about it in October 2020.
The Meta CEO explained that the FBI had “warned” about a possible “Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family,” and after seeing a New York Post article about “corruption allegations” involving the Biden family, the company “demoted” it. READ MORE

The Hunter Biden Laptop Was Real, COVID Vaccines Have Killed Millions, Just About Everything The Joe Biden Administration Has Told Us Has Been A Lie
The Joe Biden administration has waged a 4 year-long campaign of lies, deceit and deception against the American people, like the Hunter Biden laptop and the COVID vaccine
Back in 2020, we started our Podcast because there was such a demand from Christians to know the truth about what we were being told, from a biblical perspective, as the entire world was plunged into a time of unprecedent chaos and confusion. Some of the stories we covered were so explosive and controversial that we were suspended multiple times on Twitter, had our 200,000+ member Facebook page permanently unpublished, and suspended multiple times with strikes on YouTube. I would like to give you an update on two of those stories today that caused so much of the trouble for us, as they turned out to be 100% true.
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” Matthew 24:4 (KJB)
THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP: the Joe Biden administration, in concert with nearly the entire legacy media, told us day and night that the Hunter Biden laptop was a lie, that it was ‘Russian deception’, that it was a GOP fantasy, and if anyone dared discuss the Hunter Biden laptop they would be suspended or banned immediatly. That’s exactly what happened. Joe Biden used his DoJ and Attorney General to conspire with social media, and the great purge began.
The Biden administration along with the legacy media actively conspired to cover up the truth about the Hunter Biden laptop. It was all true, and it was intentionally hidden to put Joe Biden into office. We need Nuremberg 2. pic.twitter.com/hkooKnW8OZ

NTEB lost over 5,000 followers on Twitter after we wrote about the laptop, and were shadow banned for a number of years. Here on June 6th, 2024, Hunter Biden is finally on trial, and his infamous laptop we were told was fake is one of the key pieces of evidence against him. But don’t get too excited. The same Biden lawfare that was used to convict Trump will be used to allow Hunter Biden to go free.
THE COVID VACCINE: even before it was officially released in December of 2020, we told you that the COVID mRNA vaccine would be quite harmful, would cause all sorts of strokes, blood clots, cancer and death, and that it would likely run into the millions. Every time we posted that to warn people to not take it, we were pounded on social media by the Biden-financed censors. On June 1st of 2021, we published an article entitled ‘Facebook Begins The Process Of Unpublishing The NTEB Page Because We Tell The Truth About The Deadly Vaccines And The New World Order’, and shortly after that our page was permanently taken down.

Here on June 6th, 2024, scientists and medical researchers are sounding the alarm over the 3,000,000 excess deaths caused in the immediate aftermath of people receiving the COVID vaccine. I personally know many people who, after receiving the government injection, had strokes, heart attacks and developed cancers that disabled or ended their lives far too early.
- 2024: Covid vaccines may have helped fuel rise in excess deaths
- 2024: ‘Unusual’ cancers emerged after the pandemic. Doctors ask if covid is to blame.
At the end of WWII, they held the Nuremberg Trials to bring to justice high-level Nazi leaders who were caught committing hideous war crimes and crimes against humanity. For the past 4 years, the Joe Biden administration has waged a campaign of lies, deceit and deception against the American people on nearly every level. We need a second Nuremberg to bring to justice these subverters of our American Republic who hold our founding documents in utter contempt. America is on the brink of collapse, who will come to her aid? If you have an American flag outside your home or office, fly it upside down. Let people know that you know what’s really going on. You are the resistance.

The Biden Administration Funding Far Left Attack Groups Like NewsGuard To Censor And Silence Christian And Conservative News Outlets Like NTEB
A bombshell lawsuit has accused the US State Department of violating First Amendment rights by using taxpayer dollars to fund private censorship firms like NewsGuard that attack Christian sites like NTEB
I suppose we should be flattered on some level, Microsoft lists that NewsGuard reviews around 7,500 web sites for ‘accuracy in reporting’, and NTEB is one of those sites. Nice to know we have gotten the attention of the New World Order elites. But what is not so nice is having NewsGuard emailing us while doing a live Podcast on Bill Gates and the Pandemic Treaty, telling us they disapprove of what we do, and then having YouTube delete that Podcast and suspend our channel for the next 3 months for ‘medical misinformation’. But I’m sure that’s just a ‘crazy coincidence’ and I’m reading into it. Yeah, but not.
“Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.” Amos 5:13 (KJB)
One of NewsGuard’s recent emails said “During our most recent review, we came across a couple of articles I wanted to ask about, including a March 2023 article alleging that COVID-19 vaccines are causing widespread cardiac arrests, as well as a January 2023 article claiming COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent deaths or hospitalizations.” Ahh, that’s it, that’s the business. In case you were wondering, NewsGuard is talking about this article, and this article. NewsGuard, the ‘guard dog’ of Big Pharma, Bill Gates and the Biden administration, does not like us telling the truth about the COVID vaccine and its deadly consequences. Tough apples, NewsGuard, the COVID vaccine is not only not a vaccine, it does cause heart attacks and death, and the majority of people hospitalized with COVID are the vaccinated. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Over the years, Now The End Begins has been placed on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of anti-government groups, we’re not, listed with the US Cyber Command as an ‘extremist organization’, we’re not, and now endlessly followed and hassled by Biden censorship groups like NewsGuard. Well, that’s life on the front lines of the end times, that’s where the bullets fly, and this is where the LORD has placed us. The war is real, the battle hot and time is short…TO THE FIGHT!!!
Biden State Department funds censorship firms like NewsGuard that favor left-wing media
FROM THE NY POST: Under the Biden administration, the federal agency has unlawfully used “censorship enterprises that target the American press” and which selectively smear news organizations — typically those that lean to the right — as “purveyors of ‘disinformation,’” according to the federal suit filed Wednesday.
“The Biden administration is illegally funding organizations with the stated goal of financially crippling media outlets whose coverage does not walk in lockstep with the government’s ideological agenda,” the Daily Wire said.
The Federalist and the Daily Wire — a pair of self-described “right of center media” groups — jointly filed the complaint with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the New Civil Liberties Alliance, a nonprofit civil rights group, in the US Eastern District of Texas on Wednesday.
The Biden administration has used US funds to tap “fact-checking” censorship enterprises including NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), which have relationships with social media giants including Facebook, YouTube and TikTok, among others, as well as deep-pocketed advertisers like Dell Technologies, ExxonMobil and Nike, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit claims that NewsGuard and GDI are “government-promoted censorship enterprises” that have starved conservative-leaning news sites “of advertising revenue and reducing the circulation of their reporting and speech.” The filing points to GDI’s December 2022 “Disinformation Risk Assessment,” which rated the top 10 “least risky” and “riskiest” outlets.
Among the riskiest sites, according to the list: the Federalist, the Daily Wire, Newsmax, the American Conservative, Reason Magazine and even the New York Post, among other perceived right-leaning organizations.
Meanwhile, the New York Times, the Washington Post, BuzzFeed and other reputedly left-leaning news groups topped the GDI’s “least risky” chart.
“NewsGuard also compiles a list of American press outlets it characterizes as ‘unreliable,’” the lawsuit noted. “These entities generate blacklists of ostensibly risky or unreliable American news outlets for the purpose of discrediting and demonetizing the disfavored press and redirecting money and audiences to news organizations that publish favored viewpoints,” according to the suit.
