THEY SAID NO! TO THE FBI’s Court Order Apple CEO Tim Cook, refuses to Unlock San Bernardino Terrorist iPhone. Is this the The Fourth Amendment Properly Applied or Obstruction of Justice?

Apple is not only one of the biggest companies in the tech industry, it is also one of the biggest companies in the United States. Considering their impact, they are also receiving particular attention from the Federal Government. One of the terrorists from the San Bernardino shooting in California, Syed Rizwan Farook, owned an Apple iPhone, and now the Federal Government wants to know what was on it. After issuing a search warrant for this specific phone, authorities have encountered the password protection that is keeping them out. After submitting the request to Apple to hack the phone, Apple is refusing.

After Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, rejected the request, he shared his perspective to the public by stating, “Building a version of the IOS that bypasses security in this way would undeniably create a backdoor. And while the government may argue that its use would be limited to this case, there is no way to guarantee such control.” It is this opposition, from technology, that hinders investigations for authorities. James Comey, FBI Director, stated, “Encryption is a major problem for law enforcement who find a device that can’t be opened even when a judge says there is probable cause to open it.” He continues, “Our job is to look at a hay stack, the size of this country, for needles that are increasingly invisible to us because of end-to-end encryption.”

Make no mistake about it, the shooters involved in the San Bernardino terrorist attack, were in fact terrorists. There are also individuals that supplied and guided Farook in the events that unfolded in San Bernardino. There are so many negative narratives existing today that we seemed to have lost sight of the Constitution. If a proper search warrant has been presented to a judge for a particular piece of evidence that presents probable cause, this is within the lines of the Constitution. The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

When CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz about this matter, he made his statements based on what the Constitution states. Understanding Apple’s concern for their global customers is legitimate, but according to Cruz, it is law enforcement that has the “better argument”. Cruz stated, “This concerns one of the phones of the San Bernardino hackers; and for law enforcement to get a judicial search order, that is consistent with the fourth amendment. That’s how the Bill of Rights operates. To say, Apple open this phone. Not Anderson’s phone, not everyone’s here. Open this phone.”

We must understand fully the rights that are afforded in our country and know when these rights and freedoms are accurately being abided by with all authorities. The more control that we give up, the more freedom that we give up also. Watch the full report to see what is taking place and be informed to understand more about your rights, and so much more.

50 PRESIDENTS of Pro Israel Organizations Gathered to Discuss the Present Chaotic Environment in the Middle East, Including Israel

Looking across the horizon of media that is taking place regarding Israel, it appears that many have something to say about Israel. The problem is, it’s not always right and it’s not always accurate. In regards to Israel and the Middle East, who would know better than Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu has recently held the 42nd annual “Israel mission for the Conference of Presidents” in Israel. This conference gathers the top 50 Jewish Organizations based in the United States. This meeting took place for one purpose, to discuss a nuclear empowered Iran and what that means to Israel.

In this gathering of leaders, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute think tank, Dr. Michael Doran stated, “The president (Barack Obama) doesn’t understand Iran the way we do. The president represents a trend in the U.S. national security elite, which sees Iran as a natural ally of the U.S. This is a strongly held secret opinion. They don’t like to advertise it because it is unpopular politically. President Obama has convinced himself that in the end, Iran and the U.S. have the same interest of defeating Islamic State and that Iran doesn’t really want to destroy Israel.”

We must understand God’s perspective of Israel. Each of us will answer for what we did or did not do regarding the land of Israel. Joel 3:2 states, “I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.” No matter what happens, or what may be said about Israel, we must keep our eyes and attention focused upon Israel. Hear this full report about what was talked about during the conference, how the control of 22 Arab nations was given to Vladimir Putin from President Obama, and so much more.

Franklin Graham and Daughter Cissie Graham Lynch on 7 Day Tour Part 5- Gideon Springs

Franklin and Cissie continue their journey through the land of Israel. Have you ever walked past a seemingly insignificant location to only realize its weighty importance? After seeing a water spring in Israel, this is what occurred to Cissie when Franklin began to share what it was that they were seeing and sitting beside. It was the events that occurred in Judges 7 that Franklin was speaking of when he describes to Cissie, “This is the exact spot where Gideon chose his men.” When God had chosen Gideon to lead his people and deliver the Israelites, he originally had more than 30,000 men. After being led to a water spring, the Lord directed Gideon in Judges 7:5-7, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.” Three hundred of them drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink. The Lord said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands. Let all the others go home.”

Gideon was thinking he had to have strength but God was leading him to become weaker and more dependent upon Him so that God would get the glory. See this beautiful location in the land of Israel while you hear Franklin narrating this powerful story, how God is seeking us to be more dependent on Him, and so much more.
