📍WHEN & WHERE: The raids took place over the weekend in France.

💬KEY QUOTE: “How could a Christian NGO defending Christians and working for peace be complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity! These qualifications demonstrate the folly of such suspicions. Totally delusional!” – SOS Chretien d’Orient.

🎯IMPACT: The raid is just the latest in an alarming trend of anti-Christian attitudes and attacks in France.

IN FULL

French authorities have launched an investigation into SOS Chrétiens d’Orient, a France-based Christian aid association, over allegations that it may have channeled donor funds to militias that supported former President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Between Tuesday and Thursday, investigators carried out “several search operations within associations, including the French association SOS Chrétiens d’Orient, companies or at the homes of individuals, as well as several hearings as witnesses or defendants,” the national anti‑terror prosecutor’s office (PNAT) confirmed over the weekend.

The inquiry focuses on whether some of the charity’s funds were diverted to the National Defence Forces (NDF), a militia aligned with Assad. French media outlets report that the investigation is being handled by the Central Office for the Fight against Crimes against Humanity, Genocide and War Crimes (OCLCH).

“How could a Christian NGO defending Christians and working for peace be complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity! These qualifications demonstrate the folly of such suspicions. Totally delusional!” the charity said in a statement, blaming leftist media group Mediapart for harassing them and their members for a vicious hit piece.

Charles de Meyer, president of the association, acknowledged that his computer was among the items seized by the police and confirmed he was questioned as a suspect.

The case takes place against a backdrop of growing anti‑Christian incidents in France. Churches in the country have been targeted many times in recent years—according to the Observatory of Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe, nine churches across the continent were struck by arson attacks in a three‑week span from late August to mid‑September of last year, including one targeting the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Saint‑Omer, France.

During the opening of the Paris Olympics last summer, organizers apologized after a performance was interpreted as mocking the Last Supper. The director of the ceremony defended the scene as inspired by pagan themes, claiming it was not intended to target Christianity.

Warren Buffett Says He’ll Donate $147 Billion to Leftist NGOs When He Dies.

Billionaire Warren Buffett has pledged to give away at least $147 billion to charities and NGOs following his death, tasking his children with spending the money. The 94-year-old Buffet has expressed concern about his children’s longevity, which prompted him to create a backup strategy in case they pass away before being able to give away the fortune. In a recent letter to investors, the 94-year-old stated that he has not yet named a successor in the event his children are unable to fulfill this role.

Buffett remarked candidly about the inevitability of aging, stating, “Father time always wins.” Since 2006, Buffett has been donating significant amounts annually to his children’s charities and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The Gates Foundation has been revealed to have engaged in researching how to manipulate people into taking future COVID-19 vaccines, as well as funding a Clinton Health Access Initiative aimed at making developing countries reliant on Chinese-made medical products.

Warren Buffett has also shown an interest in population control, attending a 2009 meeting with billionaires Bill Gates, George Soros, Ted Turner, and others to discuss slowing the global population.

Buffett is also pro-abortion, and tax records released in 2016 revealed that he had donated millions to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood, enough, by some estimates, to pay for the killing of 3.6 million unborn babies.

MUST-WATCH: Trump Roasts No-Show Kamala at Catholic Al Smith Dinner.

Former President Donald J. Trump attended the annual Al Smith Dinner in New York City on Thursday, October 17, roasting Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, who refused to attend.

Trump mocked Harris, saying she couldn’t be there in person because she was receiving Holy Communion from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. This referenced a recent incident where Catholics accused Whitmer of denigrating the Holy Eucharist.

Trump also poked fun at several of the diner’s guests, including Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
