 Article: One World Religion

Comment from UTT:
 
Pope Francis, once again plays the role of peace maker in the middle east by challenging ecumenical cooperation with all religions.
 
Pope Francis said Saturday that peace in the Middle East will never be achieved through division, violence or the pursuit of private interests, and called for negotiation on issues such as the status of Jerusalem and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
 

In a July 7 speech closing an ecumenical gathering in Bari with heads of Christian churches in the Middle East, Francis said that for peace to be a realistic possibility, "it is essential that those in power choose finally and decisively to work for true peace and not for their own interests."

 July 13 - Microsoft calls for government regulation of facial recognition technology
 Article: One World Government

Comment from UTT:
 
Government regulation of facial recognition will soon be standard procedure. Eventually a global government will monitor and control the data assimilated
 
Microsoft has joined a growing chorus of voices calling for increased regulation of facial recognition, with President Bradford L. Smith comparing the technology to pharmaceuticals and cars in a lengthy blog post.

"Facial recognition technology raises issues that go to the heart of fundamental human rights protections like privacy and freedom of expression," writes Smith. "These issues heighten responsibility for tech companies that create these products. In our view, they also call for thoughtful government regulation and for the development of norms around acceptable uses. In a democratic republic, there is no substitute for decision making by our elected representatives regarding the issues that require the balancing of public safety with the essence of our democratic freedoms. Facial recognition will require the public and private sectors alike to step up - and to act."

Another example of the constant harassment that Israel faces on a daily basis. The possibility of a third world war being triggered in this region is imminent.
 
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to take "strong action" against Hamas after more than 170 rockets and mortar shells were fired at southern Israel on Saturday.
 

At least four Israelis, a 52-year-old man, his wife, and two daughters, ages 14 and 15, were injured when one of the rockets landed on the roof of their home in the southern Israeli city of Sderot. A second rocket hit a synagogue in Sderot, which was empty at the time. The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted at least 30 of the rockets.
