Thursday, October 27, 2022 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call

“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”

1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 # (Ongoing call…24 hours a day!)

We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God! 

“I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, 

and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”

Romans 9:15 

We sing: I Will Sing of the Mercies of the Lord

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, I will sing, I will sing, 

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, I will sing of the mercies of the Lord. 

With my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness, Thy faithfulness, 

With my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations.

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, I will sing, I will sing, 

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, I will sing of the mercies of the Lord. 

(repeat)

The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly 

for the safety and security of our duly elected President, Donald John Trump, 

and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!

We pray for his protection, for our First Lady, Melania, and their marriage

 and for all the members of their family. We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.

Pray.

For the restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.

In every situation and decision, let our President be led by the Holy Spirit, 

so that he learns the truth and acts accordingly, for the good of the nation. 

Pray.

For protection, provision, and peace 

for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of the 2020 election!

As the SAVE AMERICA movement gains momentum, let those leaders that God anoints and appoints 

take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol! 

Pray. 

Strategic Focus for Thursday 

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! 

THE BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! – Part 172

The Returning of President Trump to the White House! – Part 55

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, 

so that times of refreshing may come from the Presence of the Lord” 

Acts 3:19

Today, we conclude our discussion of NEWS AS POLITICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL ACTIVISM, based on the writings of Author / TV Commentator, “The Great One,” Mark Levin. As we pray into these selections from his book, pray that God will do a deep work in our media, and restore it to the purpose for which He designed it! Pray.

Selections from Unfreedom of the Press – Part 3

The Center for Public Integrity, a left-of-center organization, reports that “conventional journalistic wisdom holds that reporters and editors are referees on politics’ playing field…bastions of neutrality who mustn’t root for Team Red or Team Blue, either in word or deed. However, in the 2016 presidential election, people identified in federal campaign finance filings as journalists, reporters, news editors or television news anchors—and other donors working in journalism—combined to give more than $396,000 to the presidential campaigns of Clinton and Trump. Nearly all of that money, more than 96%, benefited Clinton. About 430 people who work in journalism have, through August 2016, combined to give about $382,000 to the Democratic nominee.” Pray.  

What of the incestuous relationship between journalists and the last Democratic administration? On September 12, 2013, the Atlantic, a progressive media outlet, reported that there were at least twenty-four journalists who transitioned from media jobs to working in the Obama administration. They held positions such as: undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs; assistant secretary of state for public affairs; senior adviser at the State Department; senior managing director of the office of Public Affairs; Vice President Joe Biden’s communications director and later senior adviser to President Obama; undersecretary of defense for policy; a speechwriter for the U.S. ambassador to Britain; joined the Department of Health and Human Services as a senior communications adviser; director of speechwriting and senior policy adviser; moved to the Education Department; joined the Department of Transportation and later became chief of staff at the Federal Aviation Administration; moved to the Department of Transportation as communications director; became communications director and senior policy strategist for the White House office of Science and Technology; joined the Obama campaign and was later communications director for the White House office of Health Reform; moved to the Treasury Department’s public affairs office, as did MSNBC producer Anthony Reyes; worked for the Obama campaign and later as speechwriter for President Obama; served as chief of staff to United States Ambassador to China Gary Locke; joined the Environmental Protection Agency’s public affairs ofice. One of them, Time magazine’s Washington bureau chief Jay Carney, became communications director for then Vice President Biden and subsequently, press secretary to then President Obama. You would be hard-pressed to find a similar extensive relationship between numerous major media organizations and recent Republican administrations. Pray. 

Moreover, what of family ties… “incestuous ties”…between the press and the Obama administration? 

• “ABC News President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, a top national security adviser to President Obama. 
• His counterpart at CBS, news division president David Rhodes, is the brother of Benjamin Rhodes [deputy national security adviser for strategic communications]. 
• CNN’s deputy Washington bureau chief, Virginia Moseley, is married to Tom Nides, [formerly] deputy secretary of state under Hillary Rodham Clinton. 
• Further, White House press secretary Jay Carney’s wife is Claire Shipman, a veteran reporter for ABC. 
• And National Public Radio’s White House correspondent, Ari Shapiro, is married to a lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, who joined the White House counsel’s office.” 
• Vice President Biden’s onetime communications director “Shailagh Murray is married to Neil King, one of the Wall Street Journal’s top political reporters.”

Nevertheless, numerous media executives insist that protections are in place to prevent any conflicts. Pray. 

On top of all that, there are other former Democratic staffers who now work in the media and some have long family ties to the Democratic Party. A few examples:

• MSNBC’s Chris Matthews previously worked for, among others, President Jimmy Carter and Democratic House Speaker Tip O’Neill.
• CNN’s Chris Cuomo is the brother to New York’s Democratic governor, Andrew Cuomo.
• CNN’s Jake Tapper worked for Democratic congresswoman Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky and Handgun Control Inc.
• ABC’s Cokie Roberts’s father was Hale Boggs, the House Democratic majority leader.
• ABC’s George Stephanopoulos worked for President Bill Clinton.

There are others…but this provides a sense of the coziness between the national Washington, DC media and the Democratic Party. Pray. 

There are also other influences on reporting, including a “geographic bubble.” Politico, a progressive media website, notes that “the national media really does work in a bubble,” and the bubble is growing more extreme. It isn’t just a shift in medium. It’s also a shift in sociopolitics, and a radical one. Where newspaper jobs are spread nationwide, internet jobs are not. 

• Today, 73% of all internet publishing jobs are concentrated in either the Boston–New York–Washington–

Richmond corridor or the West Coast crescent that runs from Seattle to San Diego and on to Phoenix. 

• The Chicagoland area, a traditional media center, captures 5% of the jobs, with a paltry 22% going to the rest of the country. 
• Almost all the real growth of internet publishing is happening outside the heartland, in just a few urban counties, all places that voted for Clinton. So when your conservative friends use ‘media’ as a synonym for ‘coastal’ and ‘liberal,’ they’re not far off the mark.” Pray. 

Nearly 90% of all internet publishing employees work in a county where Clinton won, and 75% of them work in a county that she won by more than 30 percentage points. When you add in the shrinking number of newspaper jobs, 72% of all internet publishing or newspaper employees work in a county that Clinton won. By this measure, of course, Clinton was the national media’s candidate. The people who report, edit, produce and publish news can’t help being affected—deeply affected—by the environment around them.” Given these various studies and analyses, we can see that few journalists are able to put aside their progressive ideological mindset and political partisanship in order to have a relatively objective or impartial pursuit of news. Pray. 

Is that even still a goal of modern journalism? Is it supposed to be a project inculcated with a progressive mindset and value system yet somehow free of bias, or, is it supposed to be a reporter’s pursuit of social activism and a social overhaul, or, is it an exclusive club of wise men and women through whom the world is to be explained to the plebes; or, is it supposed to be the gathering and reporting of objective truth and facts, where interpretation and analysis are left to the readers, viewers, and listeners, through as institution that should strengthen the civil society by promoting the nation’s founding principles? The evidence indicates that when it comes to matters of politics and culture, among other things, journalism has become an overwhelmingly progressive enterprise, and the disingenuousness with which it is mostly denied, defended, or even celebrated often leads to a pack mentality, groupthink, repetition, and even propaganda presented as news. The attitude of an increasing number of influential media voices is less concerned with the veneer of objectivity and more open about the progressive ideological outlook that motivates their reporting…a project that has been under way for about a century. Pray. 

We began considering the media three days ago, and the questions raised in the opening of Mark Levin’s book are more or less answered by the values and mindset of the media’s collective progressive ethos and attachment to social activism. As foot soldiers for the Progressive Movement, newsrooms and journalists have traveled far from the substantive principles and beliefs that animated the early printers, pamphleteers, and newspaper publishers who gave birth to press freedom and American independence. Pray. 

We pray:

• For those moral and ethical values that were protected by our Founding Fathers to be raised up again through authentic media, with a free press that reports TRUTH and exposed LIES! Pray.
• For the upcoming midterm elections, that conservative, patriotic, candidates will be elected to office and take their places, willing to fight for critical issues and to rectify the fraud that took place in the 2020 election! Pray.
• For President Trump: guard, guide and govern his every word and action; protect him from all enemies, without and within; help him discern rightly about counsel given by those who advise him. Pray. 
• For all who are “standing in the gap” with our President, engaging in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA, and rejecting the usurper and those pulling his strings in this faux administration. Pray.
• For our elected officials to be willing to fight to rectify the fraud that took place in the 2020 election! Pray.
• Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Pray.
