Boston, MA.
Today Massachusetts Governor, Maura Healey took on the role of the Egyptian Pharaoh in Exodus 1:22 who called for the slaughter of the innocence of the Hebrew babies as they were being born.
In signing the Abortion Bill which allows babies to be killed through the
entire 9 months of pregnancy, she violated the United States Constitution which gives us the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I’m reminded of the song, “When the Lights Went Out in Massachusetts,” in that this is a dark day in the history of America and there is no light in Jonathan Winthrop’s City on a Hill. She violated one of the basic tenants of the Judaeo Christian faith, “Thou shall not kill.”
60 million unborn babies have been killed by abortion since the Roe v. Wade Decision and 60 million immigrants have come through our borders to replace them. When will we learn that Personhood of the Unborn is a God given right? The Word of God reveals to us in Psalm 139 that God created us in our mother’s womb. “ 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. “
Perhaps the greater motive of the State is to continue to harvest vital organs from the aborted babies to use in hybrid animal experimentation in their university labs. Hearts, lungs, livers being implanted in rats, monkeys and rabbits; I assure you that God will not look away from the genetic engineering. Nor will He look away from those who called for the lethal injections of vaccines which exterminated the babies of pregnant moms during Covid. God forbid the mail order death pills being delivered by our United States Post Offices to pregnant women. Pray for our Supreme Court of the United States to rule justly.
As Jesus said, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”

In the opening scene of Murder on the Orient Express we witness Sharia Law executed as a Muslim wife is stoned for her sin of adultery followed by the long train whistle of the Orient Express in Istanbul, Turkey. It leaves on its journey to destination London and becomes snowbound in a mountain pass in Yugoslavia where a murder occurs and justice will be served among its passengers. The world famous detective Hercule Poirot investigates and deposes the 12 passengers who all became suspects. The Russian Princess, the Butler, the Missionary Mary, the Obstetrician, the Colonel, the Nanny and Countess Waterstone all became suspect and eventually identified as co-conspirators as the mystery unfolds.
Babak Babakinejad has become his own detective as a pro-se attorney, as he continues deposing former staff from the MIT Media Lab who conspired to defraud investors in the Open Agriculture project. In his civil case #2181-1904 the tracks have been laid on which the whistleblower has experienced attempts to derail him with tactics of delay and prejudice of the Middlesex County, Superior Court, members of the Massachusetts Bar and MIT’s Office of General Counsel. He has a date of February 2027 for a trial by jury where he hopes to find fairness and equity which will only come if we pray and fast.
Jeffrey Epstein can be seen as the man on the snowbound train whose death took place in his New York jail cell. You might think of Virginia Giuffre who was sex trafficked by him as the Daisie Armstrong kidnapped from her home and killed, for whom justice was being extracted. Ghislaine Maxwell will be deposed soon from Capitol Hill as to all things Epstein.
The train tracks were historically laid in 1950 to transport building materials when the Cambridge Campus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology construction project began its relocation from Boston in 1913. There is an MIT rotunda style brick chapel along the Charles River. It’s always a good time to forgive people and institutes for their failures before an ever merciful God who says, “Vengeance is mine and I will repay.” Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. As He drew a line in the sand, Jesus said to those who were ready to stone the woman caught in adultery, “Let which one of you is without sin throw the first stone“ and they all left. John 8:1-11

I gazed out my window at the white smoke wafting up in the ice storm's frozen air from a stove in a nursing clinic and reflected on the movie “Conclave” set in Rome, Italy. There we see the holy war break out behind sacred walls of the Vatican after the sudden death of the Pope necessitating the election of a candidate to replace His Holiness. An Islamic jihad attack at the Sistine Chapel had crashed the glass dome with an explosion delaying the conclave and injuring the cardinals and bishops gathered. Ultimately the white smoke arises from the Vatican furnace signaling the world that a Pope had been chosen, but failing to disclose that he was born intersex with both X and Y chromosomes. I recalled Pope Francis had appointed Dr. Maria Zuber, (Director of the MIT Media Lab), to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences at the Vatican on March 7, 2025. We had met in the House of Representatives a year ago and she conceded that she needed prayer. She was protected by the Court and allowed to escape the scrutiny of a deposition by Dr. Babakinejad.
In Middlesex Superior Court, the case of Dr. Babakinejad was settled by mediation of the parties on January 27, 2026. The Party(s) filed stipulation of dismissal with prejudice pursuant to Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1) and stipulated to the dismissal of all claims with prejudice, with neither party bearing responsibility for the other party's attorneys' fees and costs and each party waiving all rights to appeal.
Recently I had asked the Vicar of Bagdad (Anglican Canon, Andrew White of England) to pray for the case emanating from the Mecca of America, Cambridge. By grace the motion hearing which would have taken place today with Judge Ashe White presiding was cancelled. Isaiah 2:4 And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

On September 18th 2025 I was honored to be a guest speaker and convene the Candlelight Memorial Service of Charlie Kirk bringing a short address and prayer on the Boston Commons with thousands gathered at the Massachusetts State House.
I recalled how on the night of September 10th the Lord had impressed me that Charlie Kirk would have been President. I said that I first met Charlie on January 13, 2025 following my interview with Dr. Gina on American Sunrise concerning the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast before he went in to record the Turning Point USA. The next morning the Lord further impressed me that Charlie was His lamb. I led those gathered in prayer from Psalm 23 which says, The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
The 4th Judicial District Court in Utah County, Utah has been engaged in the phase of pre-trial hearings in the prosecution of Tyler Robinson who is accused of aggravated murder and victim targeting of Charlie Kirk for his political and religious views.
The Heart of Charlie Kirk’s message on the Universities and College campuses was Matthew 19. The man who would have been the next President was assassinated for telling the Gospel truth about growlingly popular trends like LBGT. This brought an additional charge of Victim Targeting Enhancement In violation of Utah Code Ann. § 76-3-203.14(2). Tyler Robinson hated Charlie Kirk because of his political expression.
Matthew 19
1 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Judge Tony Graf, who is reportedly Mormon, struggled with the question of whether or not to censor an entry of a document presented by the prosecution which was written by David Engelhard, an attorney, who is both Pastor of Charlie Kirk and board member of Turning Point USA, which contained the Matthew 19 scripture.
On August 1st I had written to Charlie Kirk and requested that he investigate the MIT Whistleblower case of the lead scientist in the Media Lab’s Open Agriculture program. Massachusetts Institute of Technology refused to stop the dumping of toxic chemical fertilizer waste water into an injection well that was the source of public drinking water which contained many times over the regulatory limits of nitrogen. They also took millions of dollars in fraudulent fundraising from Jeffrey Epstein for a secret project.
I was compelled to file a Friend of the Court Brief into the MIT whistleblower case calling for a spiritual reset and ultimately for the parties to mediate. It contained the Ten Commandments, the Mayflower Compact, the Massachusetts Constitution and President Trump’s Executive Order calling for the observation the 250th anniversary of America. They mediated the case on January 26, 2026.
The assassin’s bullet which struck Charlie Kirk was coded with cult inscription and would be the shot that has been heard around the world in a similar manner as in Lexington. Let’s pray for the will of God to be done in the trial of the Man Who Would have been President, which begins on September 1, 2026.

Dear Dr. Shafa,
In the words of his “Letter from a Birmingham City Jail” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote the following. “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was “well timed” in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word “Wait!” It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This “Wait” has almost always meant “Never.” We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that “justice too long delayed is justice denied.”
He continued later in his letter to say: “There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair. I hope, sirs, you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience. You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws. This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court’s decision of 1954 outlawing segregation in the public schools, at first glance it may seem rather paradoxical for us consciously to break laws. One may well ask: “How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?” The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that “an unjust law is no law at all.”
Now, what is the difference between the two? How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust.
We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom. Abused and scorned though we may be, our destiny is tied up with America’s destiny.Before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence across the pages of history, we were here. For more than two centuries our forebears labored in this country without wages; they made cotton king; they built the homes of their masters while suffering gross injustice and shameful humiliation -and yet out of a bottomless vitality they continued to thrive and develop. If the inexpressible cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail. We will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands.”
I pray that you will find some strength in knowing that God will use all things to work together for good for those who love Him and are called to His purposes. Romans 8:28

CURRENT SITUATION
Dr. Shafa is a respected physician in the Boston area, but has fallen victim to excessive over-regulation. Medication that dramatically helps drug addiction is approved by the FDA and all authorities for administration in tablet form by mouth or by injection. But a time-release pellet in the skin is proven to be more effective at curbing and ending addiction quickly and strongly. This cuts into Big Pharma’s profits by ending addiction faster. Therefore, the Biden DOJ prosecuted Dr. Shafa, authorized to prescribe controlled medication, for writing lawful prescriptions for an FDA-approved drug administered in time-release form. Dr. Shafa was sentenced to Three years in jail. Hundreds of colleagues and patients have submitted letters of support for him.

While the exiled Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi hopes to be restored to power in the near future, the judicially persecuted prisoner # 04400-509 Dr. Rahim Shafa stated from his prison, “If he plays his cards right and breaths peace, brotherhood and forgiveness he can solve the problem for both nations at war.” He used poetic language to describe the romantic relationship of a couple (America and Iran) who had been in love and married considering their options for divorce or reconciliation of their original love. Similarly Jesus beckoned the church in Ephesus to Return to their First Love. Revelation 2:4. Some 50,000 freedom fighters have died in the "Iranian Revolution" at the unjust hands of the Regime of Islamic terrorists, while young women who had been gang raped were further mutilated as their wombs were cut out to hide the evidence. This was reported by Iran Alive Ministries, an evangelical organization in Dallas, Texas who broadcast the good news of Jesus Christ via satellite to 7 million daily inside Iran.
I brought Dr. Shafa's case to the attention of candidate for U S Attorney General and friend of the President, attorney Peter Ticktin recently who will now navigate a pardon application and battle to bring light to an incredible injustice in our legal system. It was just over a year ago when I first met Dr. Shafa prior to his reporting to Federal Prison. He has served one full year of the 3 year sentence, facing the toughest fight of his life after being convicted under circumstances that left us all reeling. "This never should have happened to Dr. Shafa," Mr. Ticktin told us during the legal consultation in response to the judicial tyranny in the Boston court who gave a sentence many believe was unjustly harsh.
The Case # 4:20-CR-40021-MRG USA vs Rahim Shafa, MD (being appealed) involves Dr. Shafa, M.D., a citizen of the United States since 2012, a respected physician who prescribed and administered the pellet form of an FDA-approved drug to help treat opioid addiction. As a physician living and working in the Boston area of the United States, Dr. Shafa is authorized and licensed to prescribe the medication. However, the Biden Administration prosecutors alleged that Dr. Shafa can legally administer the medication as an injection or as a tablet by mouth, but could not lawfully administer the same medication as a licensed doctor by a slow-release pellet under the skin. Dr. Shafa, conducting careful monitoring of his patients, found that the slow-release pellet provides vastly superior results, promoting faster and more successful cures of addiction. However, actual success in helping patients recover from addiction quickly means that Big Pharma companies make less money. Instead of long-term treatment that is much less effective making pharmaceutical companies rich, the quick and effective cure reduces the overall cost to the patient, Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance.
Dr. Shafa’s dedication led him down a path marred by Margaret Guzman, a federal judge known for her liberal stance on justice. Her decisions have been scrutinized as she edges closer to becoming the next democratic Justice on the Supreme Court of the U.S. The charge of money laundering provides for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine in excess of 6 digits. Legal expert Jonathan Moseley stated, "Apparently the DOJ and perhaps his former attorney Brad (who reportedly never advised him to testify) forgot that there has to be an element of racketeering to indict for international money laundering. To be criminally culpable under 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(1), a defendant must conduct or attempt to conduct a financial transaction, knowing that the property involved in the financial transaction represents the proceeds of some unlawful activity."
Funds raised will go directly toward documenting and enhancing the case to assist the official review and analysis of Ed Martin at the U.S. Department of Justice who is considering Rahim Shafa's pardon application—an effort that can tip the scales back to balance.
May the King of Kings and Prince of Peace Jesus Christ ruler of the nations grant President Trump wisdom in war and to grant a pardon and restitution. In his Easter message he quoted John 3:16 that any great nation must have God for an eternal life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him will have eternal life."

New Year’s Eve Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville was the MC for the PBS special live concert of the Vienna Philharmonic from Vienna’s Golden Hall of the Musikverein Hall. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/from-vienna-the-new-years-celebration-2026-about/17381/
They played a piece with various whistle instruments blowing, not letting me forget the MIT Whistleblower case in the Massachusetts Superior Court. On New Year’s Day I became aware that Rogers and Hammerstein’s, “The Sound of Music” broadway musical is really coming to Boston this week on January 6, 2026 at the Majestic Theatre. We will have to wait until February 3, 2026 for the next Court Hearing in the case scheduled in Courtroom 710 of Middlesex County Superior Court. The newest Judge assigned to the case is the honorable Ashe Z. White who we need to keep in our prayers.
Friends are asking me if there is any link between the shooting of the MIT Professor Nuno Loureiro and the case of Dr. Babakinejad the MIT Whistleblower against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While I won’t speculate, it’s interesting to note that the storage unit where the shooter committed suicide is down the street in Salem, NH from the home of my hosts, Mike and Kristie Divine this summer at their West Newbury, MA guest house. The husband was the Trump Republican Campaign Director for their county in West Newbury and the wife’s father owns the Boston Broadside conservative newspaper. These facts beg the questions of whether they were on the shooter’s list of targets and are there other perpetrators at large.
One summer I lived near Vienna, Austria assisting Ben and Vera Carlson, opera singers, with their ministry.” I have memories of the beauty of the fields of golden sunflowers which were nearly as tall as the charming clock towers in the quaint village. We went on to sing together in Benny Hinn’s Washington, DC Healing Crusade held at the Washington, DC Convention Center. We only saw the Von Trapp family estate at a distance, but Maria’s granddaughter, Elizabeth later sang for me at an Event that I hosted following 911 at The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. She and her husband own and operate the Von Trapp Lodge Resort in Stowe, Vermont. www.vontrappresort.com This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Sound of Music Broadway Musical as noted by Life magazine.

Washington, DC
The movie Dr. Zhivago comes to mind when I think of Russia and the song, Laura’s Theme which was played on the beautiful balalaika. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 was the backdrop of this suspenseful story where good versed evil. Fast forward to 2025 following the dinner reception at the end an AI Conference at the Ritz Carlton in Washington DC, some special guests accompanied me as I sought out the baby grand piano down the enormous hall. The MIT Whistleblower looked on as I played and sang “Laura’s Theme” which rose in my heart. I had recently prayed at the Embassy of Russia located nearby concerning the war on Ukraine.
Due to my own research I would learn of the agreement between the U.S. - Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Media Lab and the Russia - entity Skolkovo Foundation, Media Lab. I’m left wondering who is fabricating the design of micro weapons being used by the Kremlin today. Jeffrey Epstein was funded by the billionaire owner of “Victoria's Secret,” Les Wexner of Ohio who also provided the Jets for Epstein's guests who accompanied him to the islands. Though 88 now, couldn’t he be subpoenaed as a witness in the Whistleblower case ? Maybe a question for Tulsi Gabbard.
Some years ago I was invited by Russian born, Vera Danchenko- Stern (Pianist and Vocal Coach at Peabody Institute and the Royal Conservatory of Music) to accompany her to Moscow with students from the Washington Opera and the New York Metropolitan Opera. We stayed at the Music Conservatory in Moscow and were able to tour the seven churches in Red Square. Her mission was to bring her excellence in performances in her homeland including St. Petersburg at the American Embassy, where I would MC the gathering. It was good to see the daughter of Congressman Tom Lantos, Katrina and her husband, who hosted us in their role as United States Ambassadors to Russia. I was recognized in association with the “Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast, where the Congressman had previously spoken for us about his family’s escape from Naziism in Hungary. The evening had brightened with me playing the baby grand piano and singing “I Ask For the Nations,” following the memorable time we experienced that morning at The Hermitage Winter Palace.
Going back to the 1960’s Cold War, my friend Frances Gary Powers Jr. told us the story of his father who was the “Operation Overflight” U-2 pilot who was shot down over Russia as a guest speaker at “An American Jubilee” recognizing Israel’s 50th anniversary as an nation. In his book called “Spy Pilot” and the 2015 Steven Spielberg production of “Bridge of Spies” he further demonstrates what his dad endured during his capture, trial and 2 year imprisonment. When Powers was traded for four Russian spies the first thing he asked his handlers to do was to see the epic drama, "Ben Hur" about the encounter of Jesus Christ. He became employed by KNBC TV doing recognizance reporting by helicopter after refusing to work for the CIA at Lockheed Martin. Having run out of fuel, he died a hero’s death when he crash landed to avoid killing children playing ball in Balboa Park. Later it would be confirmed that the fuel gauge had been tampered with. Today The Greenbrier, America's Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia has an underground bunker tour in which you can see the declassified Congressional City for safety of our government officials during times of Nuclear Threat. I was honored to volunteer to help him establish the Cold War Museum in Warrenton, Virginia. It was Gary Jr. who would tell me of my father’s 50th anniversary reunion of the 70th tank battalion of WWII which I attended. U.S. Army Colonel Varhol wrote to me afterwards stating that it had been his commission to find places of worship for the soldiers to attend church services. He said, “More often than not we worshipped under the trees of the forest to avoid being seen by the enemy aircraft in Germany. I always saw your father in prayer on the front line beside General Taynton.“
Author of the book, Dr. Zhivago, Boris Pasternak was persecuted in Soviet prison for 2 years until he died and his lover who inspired the book had a worse fate for 7 years. The author wrote in a Religious tone, with skepticism toward the Bolshevik Revolution and indifference of socialist aims made it unpublishable in the USSR due to being outside their cultural guidelines and its "non-acceptance of the socialist revolution”. It was smuggled out to the Italian Milanese publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli and the First Edition was published in Italian in 1957 in Italy. Declassified by CIA - In 1958 Britain the CIA sent the microfilm of Russian Text and printed the book in Russian. CIA used Dutch intelligence to produce a hard copy in the Hague and made copies that were routed across Europe with concentrated distribution of them at the Brussels World Fair and in Austria. Behind the iron curtain the book, Dr. Zhivago challenged Collective Ideology.
President Eisenhower used the book secretly at Austria’s "Vienna Youth Festival" in 1959. In Italy at the Vatican Pavilion a blue linen edition of the book was handed out where exiled Catholic Russians had curtained off a small library full of books aimed at Christians living under repressive regimes.
In 1965 the Landmark motion picture Dr. Zhivago was produced and became a sensation worldwide. Icon Russian paintings of Jesus Christ were seen on the walls of the family home portraying the God given Conscience of humankind. The cost of sin leading to death was portrayed in the end of the movie. There seems a way that is right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. PROVERBS 14:12 The scene where Dr. Zhivago deflected from the warfront as a medical officer and was trudging through the snow among the miles of wooden cross-like poles reminds me of the Via Dolorosa which Jesus himself walked to Calvary.
Let us not forget the cost with which our own freedom in America was established on the foundation of Christianity and the right to practice it. Today the number one best selling book is the Holy Bible. It contains 2,500 prophecies of which 2,000 of them have been filled with great accuracy concerning Israel, Babylon, Assyria and Egypt that were given to the prophets. There are 332 prophecies about the first coming of the Lord which were fulfilled at His birth. There are 39 historical documents about the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ written by historians of which we have archaeological evidence.
