KIRSTEN POWERS OF FOX NEWS TRANSITIONS TO CATHOLICISM FROM EPISCOPAL, ATHEIST, “ORTHODOX” CHRISTIAN PREVIOUSLY

KIRSTEN POWERS’ UNIVERSALIST VIEWS, “EVERYONE AS GOD’S CHILD”, 

ALIGNS WITH POPE FRANCIS

LIKELY INFLUENCED BY ROMANIST LEANING, 
CONTEMPLATIVE “EVANGELICALS”

“Powers was raised as an Episcopalian but spent much of her early adult life as an atheist. In her mid-30s, she became an evangelical Christian. The process of conversion began when she dated a religious Christian man, who introduced her to the Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City and the teachings of its pastor, Tim Keller, and culminated in an experience in 2006 when, during a trip to Taiwan, she believes that she had an epiphany of Jesus Christ. She has called her conversion “a bit of a mind bender” due to her political beliefs and former atheism, and prefers the term “orthodox Christian” over “evangelical” to describe herself, given the cultural baggage around the latter term. She has said that the biggest impact her new-found faith had on her political beliefs was that she came to “view everyone as God’s child and that means everyone deserves grace and respect.” On October 10, 2015, Powers was received into the Catholic Church.
Powers has worked in New York State Democratic politics for many years. She was a staff member of the New York State Democratic Committee, the press secretary for the Andrew Cuomo for Governor campaign, and communications director on the mayoral campaign of C. Virginia FieldsPowers supports universal health care, believing to be a moral imperative to supply health care to all Americans. Thus, she initially supported Obama’s health care reform but later became critical of its implementation. She lamented that the laws resulted in a doubling of costs: “if I want to keep the same health insurance, it’s going to cost twice as much.” She later opined: “A lot of people who have really been screwed over by the law [and] are left without insurance or with extremely expensive insurance”, and agreed with a Ron Fournier headline in National Review, “Why I’m getting tired of defending Obamacare.”
She opposed the “don’t ask, don’t tell” on homosexuals serving in the military, supports civil unions for same-sex couples, and sees marriage strictly as a religious institution.
Powers opposed the the Fairness Doctrine, and a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning. She also supports comprehensive immigration reform and providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and favors gun control. She also supports closing Guantanamo Bay and transferring its prisoners to federal prisons.
Powers opposed the Iraq war and supports the right of countries to choose their own governments free of outside influence.[citation needed] However, in 2011 she criticized Americans’ lack of concern about the Muslim Brotherhood rising to power in Egypt as “naivete”. Her concern partly derived From her then-husband Marty Makary being of Coptic origin.
Powers opposes the death penalty and supports the pro-life movement. She opposes elective late-term abortions and has called for abortion provider Planned Parenthood to be shut down. In a 2011 piece in The Daily Beast, she argued that access to birth control does not prevent abortions. She later retracted her piece as based on faulty data.”

Fox News’ Contributor Kirsten Powers Exits Evangelicalism to Embrace Catholicism

Fox News’ Contributor Kirsten Powers Exits Evangelicalism to Embrace Catholicism


Kirsten Powers, Fox News’ pundit, happily announced on October 9, 2015 to “The Five” on “One More Thing” that the next day she would become Catholic.  Immediately, Powers was “high fived” by Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Eric Bolling.

Exactly why was this announcement so news worthy?  Well, for starters Kirsten, once an Episcopalian and later an atheist, had shared a “conversion story” about nine years ago.  At the time well-known Presbyterian Pastor Tim Keller of Redeemer Church in New York City had played a role in unveiling her eyes to the truth that God existed.  Further time at Redeemer had her calling herself an “orthodox Christian,” and sharing her story with Christianity Today.  One wonders was there anything Keller shared about his own affinity with Catholicism as found, for example, in his book Reason for God  that gave Kirsten the impression Catholics are surely true Christians?  Dr. E.S. Williams in his article “Keller’s Affinity with Rome” would support this.  Read more here:
http://www.newcalvinist.com/kellers-affinity-with-rome/

In an article, “Fox News’s* Kirsten Powers Announces: ‘I’m Becoming Catholic,'” Catholic Deacon
Greg Kandra of the Diocese of Brooklyn writes that during a 2006 trip to Taiwan Powers felt she had had a visitation from Jesus.  Kandra further writes, “She has called her conversion a ‘a bit of a mind bender’ due to her political beliefs and former atheism, and prefers the term ‘orthodox Christian’ over ‘evangelical’ to describe herself due to the ‘cultural baggage’ around the word ‘evangelical.’  She has said that the biggest impact her new found faith had on her political beliefs was that she came to ‘view everyone as God’s child and that means everyone deserves grace and respect.'”  However, I would point out, that the Bible does not say everyone is God’s child.  GotQuestions.com puts it this way, “The Bible is clear that all people are God’s creation (Colossians 1:16) and that God loves the entire world (John 3:16), but only those who are born again are children of God (John 1:12, 11:52, Romans 8:16; I John 3:1-10).”  http://www.gotquestions.org/Printer/Gods-children-PF.html
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/deaconsbench/2015/10/fox-newss-kirsten-powers-announces-im-becoming-catholic/
* Kandra’s error.  

In another piece, “Kirsten Powers Awakens to the Beauty and Depth and Riches of the Catholic Faith,” Rick Rice wrote of Msgr. Charles Pope’s* article that told of Kirsten’s beautiful conversion story to Evangelicalism.  Rice noted that Msgr. Pope, at the time, prayed that Kirsten would to know that Jesus is Lord and the lover of her soul.  Of the Msgr. Pope piece Rice quotes, “But Father, but Father… ‘She did not become Catholic.'”  However,  Msgr. Pope wrote, “Well, all I know is that she is on a journey.  And the Lord has surely led some of the best Catholics through the Evangelical denominations to the Catholic Church.**  … In fact some of the greatest converts to the Catholic Church bring many gifts from their time as Evangelicals …  At a personal level, I would love for Ms. Powers to find herself in full union with the Catholic Church. …”  Rice went on, “Well Msgr. Pope, that one day has apparently arrived: Welcome Ms. Powers to the faith that challenges and enriches.”  Rice ended by saying to Powers, “May God use you ma’am to bring others to His embrace.”

**  This could certainly refer to former Presbyterian Scott Hahn who converted to Catholicism some years back, and has become a best selling Catholic teacher, author, and speaker.  

In still another “Home to Rome” article: “Fox News’ Kirsten Powers: Welcome Home to the Catholic Church” from Catholic News Live, Kate O’Hare writes “Deo Gratias!  Welcome Home!”  O’Hare also mentions Kirsten’s tweet note of gratitude to Father Jonathan Morris for being instrumental in leading her into Catholicism.  O’Hare also adds, ” … maybe we can get her to tag-team with Father Morris and plant seeds to change the heart and mind of fallen-away Catholic Greg Gutfield of ‘The Five.'”  As Powers has proven it may be a long and winding road, but there’s no greater joy then finally crossing the Tiber.  Come on in Greg, the water’s fine.”
http://www.catholicvote.org/fox-news-kirsten-powers-welcome-home-to-the-catholic-church/

Dear reader, this is why Kirsten, a well-known writer and contributor, is such a prize convert for her opinions and thoughts influence many.  For us as Evangelicals, it is time to awaken and to understand that the Catholic Church teaches another gospel.  And rather than praising the Catholic Church and seeking common ground, we need to be planting our own seeds of the true gospel as found in Romans 3:24-26, and 28 where Scripture declares we are justified freely, and by faith without or apart from the deeds of the law!

While at Fox, Powers would have much contact with the large number of Catholic contributors.  And as Kirsten twittered about her conversations over dinner at Del Friscas, a ritzy Manhattan restaurant, with Fox’s resident Catholic “evangelist” –the ever charismatic Father Jonathan Morris who had swayed her to make her decision.  This same Morris, you may recall, was on evangelist James Robison’s program where Robison spoke of Evangelicals and Catholics joining together.  Morris was also on “Hannity” (9-24-15) along with Dr. Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church, Dallas as they discussed their positive reaction to Pope Francis’ visit.
https://twitter.com/kirstenpowers  https://www.facebook.com/drjeffress

Certainly, it seems Powers knows of, and has met Jeffress. One might ask did she hear Jeffress’ clear affirmation of the pope declaring Francis “a humble Christ follower” for whom he had much respect?  Did she hear him state that he had more in common with his Catholic friends than his liberal Baptist friends?  Did she hear him say he differed with the pope only on secondary issues?  If Powers didn’t, hundreds of others did!

A second prominent priest, Father Roger J. Landry of the Holy Family Catholic Church, an attache to the United Nations and a permanent observer of the Holy See to the United Nations also heavily influenced her to convert.  On Kirsten’s October 11 Twitter to Landry Kirsten wrote: “Day 1 as a Catholic: awesome!  Wld not be here w/out the brilliant, kind, sacrificial, thoughtful, @ Fr.RogerLandry.” 
http://churchholyfamily.org/  http://churchholyfamily.org/people/father-roger-landry-1
https://twitter.com/kirstenpowers

And it was Landry’s homily about which Kirsten tweeted, “Happy to share the phenomenal homily from my baptismal Mass by Fr. Roger Landry “The Continual Conversion…”  The homily: “The Continual Conversion Asked of the Rich Young Man and of Us, October 10, 2015”  (Mass of the Reception into Full Communion with the Catholic Church) was given at Manhattan’s Holy Family Church whose building was dedicated in 1965 by His Eminence Francis Cardinal Spellman to serve the needs of the UN.  The church, by the way, is located just one block from the United Nations.
https://twitter.com/kirstenpowers

Holy Family was designed by architect George J. Sole to reflect the contemporary, post-Vatican II Church to fit into the United Nations neighborhood.  Its art and design reflect “a spirit of ecumenism and multi-nationalism.”  To the left of the main altar stands a large Byzantine icon–“Our Lady of Peace.”  Its eastern church style and subject matter, says the parish history, reflects the themes of universality and peace. http://churchholyfamily.org/about-the-church
http://churchholyfamily.org/parish-history

Just prior to her conversion Power’s twittered her awe with the Pope on his recent papal visit by saying she was waiting for “Papa Francesca;” and later by writing she “was at the Pontifex Mass in DC.”  

Yes, Kirsten was, as Bob Smietana of Christianity Today wrote in a Gleanings News piece, “Pope Francis’ Latest Convert: Kirsten Powers.”  Smietana said, “Fox News’ highly reluctant Jesus follower
has found a new church.”  Smietana also noted, “Powers gave few details about her decision to become Catholic.  She did thank Father Jonathan Morris, pastor of Mt. Carmel Church of the Bronx, on Twitter.”
http://www.christianitytoday.com/gleanings/2015/october/pope-francis-newest-convert-kirsten-powers.html

How many like Kirsten have received, and are receiving confusing messages about Catholicism from pastors such as Keller, Jeffress, and a host of others.  In light of this, may we be ever ready to share the gospel that in order to reach heaven one must be born again, not join a church or do good works.  For as Acts 4:12 says: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”  May we avail ourselves of every opportunity to share the hope that is within us with truth, and love.  And may we stand true to the faith that Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth, and the life; and that it is through Christ alone that we find salvation.

Learn to Discern Granny Verse: I Peter 3:15

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.”

PARLIAMENT OF THE WORLD’S RELIGIONS 2015~ AN APOSTATE, CONTEMPLATIVE, PAGAN, NEW AGE, INTERFAITH, HERETICAL & OCCULT CONVOCATION


PARLIAMENT OF THE WORLD’S RELIGIONS 2015
SEE: http://www.parliamentofreligions.org/



An Eyewitness Account by Lanette Irwin
SEE: https://ratherexposethem.org/2015/10/parliament-of-worlds-religions-2015.htmlrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

Participants lined up nearly a quarter mile to hear speakers
at the World Parliament of Religions on opening day.









The 2015 Parliament of the World’s Religions was held October 15-19 in Salt Lake City, Utah. They estimated over fourteen thousand people attended this New Age (now called “interfaith”) convention at the cost of $500/person. This convention was well advertised for over a year. 

Many booths from differing faiths, political interfaith organizations, and seminaries were anxiously handing out their free literature and books to attendee’s as they walked through. 

As we made our way through the halls we saw Buddhist/ Hindu shrines and rooms filled with chanters. Tables were selling their t-shirts, books, sandalwood meditation beads, jewelry and pictures of the Dali Lama.



We were subjected to a constant hum of a drum and high pitched sounds ringing throughout the building, with signs hanging overhead that read “The earth is one we are one with the earth.” 

Environmental issues were a big topic because they believe we are part of the earth, and if the earth is sick we cannot heal the world. 

There were Indians dressed in their headdresses and clothing, seiks, Buddhist monks, Catholic priests, Jewish rabbis and, yes, Christians alike, jamming through halls to attend sessions. Media with their cameras conducted interviews, spiritual dancers in the background chanted, while late speakers were running up escalators to indoctrinate the masses. Most of the participants and speakers were women. 


Many of us have read books, or articles about the New Age movement; however, the focus of the New Age has mostly been covert via networking, infiltration, and spiritual indoctrination, especially so far as their goal of uniting the world under a one world religion and one world government. 

http://www.parliamentofreligions.org//programs/educating-religious-leaders-23


The Parliament of the World’s Religions has an agenda and they are now very open about it. It is now an outright attack on the Christian church and the Word of God. They have decided they cannot have unity at all cost so they are trying something else: changing the doctrine of the simple Gospel of Jesus and Who He is. I was handed a booklet titled Global Ethic: A Call to our Guiding Institutions that stated: “The Parliament of the world’s religion seeks to promote interreligious harmony, rather than unity.” (p.1) 

They are not afraid to say that “an orthodox Bible believing Christian does not fit in our world nor will they be tolerated.” It was in our face. This Parliament is a sort of coming out of the closet for them, as was the Parliament’s in the past such as the one in 2009. 

One of the signs that hung in the hall said,“Choose being kind over being right and you’ll be right every time.” Still another displayed, “We are as much alive as we keep the earth alive.” So the truth of the Word is not on their agenda. It is seen as unorthodox and mean-spirited. For example, note the phrase in blue below:

http://www.parliamentofreligions.org/parliament/salt-lake-2015/compassion-parliament



I attended several sessions to get a grasp on the coming agenda of attacks on the Bible-believing church. I attended these sessions reluctantly, biting my tongue, but I noticed several phrases repeated over and over – to the point I stopped attending the third day as I could recite the chant by heart! 

The Christian view of “salvation” has the inclusion/exclusion message of “we are in – they are not.” The interfaith movement cites this as an evil. In other words, to say Salvation is by Christ alone, and there is a Hell and there is a Heaven is not accepting of other faiths. It is exclusive, unaccepting of other religions, especially because they believe “God accepts all, God is in all.” The Christian orthodox view of Heaven and Hell will no longer be tolerated as they says it divides humanity.



This was the topic discussed by Rev. Kristen Largen, editor of A Journal of Theologyand dean and professor of systematic theology at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. She cited her new book about to come out, What Christians Can Learn from Buddhism: Rethinking Salvation.

“We must not have a you aren’t/we are mentality,”she believes. We must rethink this concept of salvation, which is seen as unloving, not really biblical. When advocating her 2013 book Finding God among Our Neighbors: An Interfaith Systematic Theology the review says that “she confronts Christian misconceptions and problematic issues of other traditions.” So our ideas that other religions such as Hindu or Islam is labeled a “misconception.” But I noticed that she cited Scripture to support her false beliefs and opinions. She said, “There is no definitive doctrine established by the Christian church that mandates one specific explanation of how Jesus saves.” (This is complete heresy!) 

Rev. Largen went on to say that “there are many different theories about that and the church endorses all of them.” She said, “The doctrine of the trinity has been established but not the doctrine of salvation…. We must rethink, reimagine the doctrine of salvation and it is quite consistent with the Christian tradition of salvation not a violation of it.” She said,“Salvation has three aspects 1. A person in need 2. A problematic situation 3. A solution to that situation, and one who provides it. Beyond this, much is up for grabs.” She ended up with saying that “the doctrine of the church is calledapokatastasis, better known as the doctrine of universal salvation; that everyone is saved, regardless.” In short, universalism. As a side note she did mention Emergent leader Rob Bell’s book Love Wins, another who more or less teaches the Bible is not relevant for today’s society and also redefines Salvation and Hell. 




Another session I attended called “Religious Extremism: Effective Responses From Mainstream Religious Communities” with three scholars: Shanta Premawardhana, president of SCUPE; Dr. George Zachariah, co-presenter; and Salih Sayigan, Department of Theology, Georgetown University, who admits he is Christian and said,“Every religion has extremes, but exclusiveness leads to violence when we say you get to go to Heaven and you end in Hell then we have a problem when you exclude you sow seeds of extremism. When you say this is God’s way you create a political environment.” Next, Sayigan gave another example:“Excluding gays from your board your church that is exclusion.” And if you believe you have absolute truth this is said to create blind allegiance. 

These three said, as had the other speakers, that“we are all members of the same family, we all belong to God.” A Hindu stood up from the audience dressed in his orange clothes, looking so timid and shy, but went into a rage yelling about evil Christians leaving pamphlets on the temple steps. He said, “Christians told me I was worshiping demons! How dare they!” The speakers nodded their heads, agreeing this was wrong and unacceptable. They then went on to redefine Jihad as they see it. The real Jihad is “a good dad, a good husband.” In essence, as long as there are those who define and have a theology based on the old patriarchal “Christian” perspective, the earth cannot heal and the violence will continue. We as Christians are now responsible for all evil in the world. They believe this. 

Building a New Age/New World Order



I attended a session on Saturday, called “Roman Catholic Theology and Practice of Interreligious Dialog.” They advocated their journal, Journal of Interreligious Insight. Again I heard the same rhetoric of exclusion/inclusion and noticed that “compassion” was the key buzz word. One young man stood up and angrily said, “I get tired of Christians citing from the Bible. I will not go to Heaven if I don’t see the Gospel as they see it.” Some girl in a weak voice cited a Scripture about Heaven, several clapped, and the young man sat down next to her, smiling. She was praised for her insight by the panel of speakers! I guess he felt relieved he got to say his peace, and of course the speakers agreed. 

In essence they believe the old patriarchy is not for today. Our values must change if we are going to heal. New values are the child of the older patriarchy. For example, fairness is good but we need a new fairness. They admit there will be a backlash for which they are ready to defend. 


Walking the labyrinth at the Parliament

The following is an example of books the emergent interfaith movement are reading: 

Thriving in the Crosscurrent:
Clarity and Hope in a Time of Cultural Sea Change 
by Jim Kenney 
Posted by: DailyOM 

The 21st century is experiencing a rare global revolution. Are you prepared to ride the new cultural wave? Thriving in the Crosscurrent says that despite the overwhelming doomsday speak, it’s not the end of the world, but the birthing pains of a new one! Like two massive ocean waves colliding, one on the ascent and the other falling, societal paradigms are on the brink of a world-wide transformation! With the use of this two-wave sea change model, a tool for evaluating human cultural evolution, thriving in the Crosscurrent demonstrates the causes of our impending revolution and shares an optimistic forecast through the turbulence. 

With in-depth scholarly research, cultural expert Jim Kenney offers detailed descriptions of the groups that make up our current global consciousness. From “yeasayers” such as Catalysts, Actives, and Creatives to “naysayers”, including Militants, Buccaneers and Unexamined Lifers, this book explores the current and emerging beliefs of society. Kenney makes known what is required for the yeasayers to be effective. “The good news” Kenney states, “it’s a smaller percentage than you might think.”  [Excerpt]


Well I guess as Christians we are the small percentage! 

In her bookChristianity After Religion: The End of Church and the Birth of a New Spiritual Awakening, Diana Butler Bass is endorsed by Brian D. McLaren, Emergent church leader and author of Naked Spirituality. She began a diatribe on why Christianity has failed, why people are leaving the church, and the unfortunate circumstances of people getting hurt. She says there have been great awakenings throughout history and suggest we are in another but, “Conventional comforting Christianity has failed. It does not work. For the churches that insist on preaching it, the jig is up. We cannot go back, and we should not want to.” She explains, “Lot’s wife turned into salt when she looked back… and Jesus reminded his followers that no man puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God (Luke 9:62).”(p. 37) 

Here is another telling statement from Butler Bass: “A new phenomenon seems to be developing in the west – the possibility of multireligious identity. In the same way that some people are biracial or multiracial, others are describing themselves as multireligious.” (p. 60) 

Butler Bass suggests that Robert Wright is more correct when he suggests that God is currently undergoing an “evolution.” (p. 63) She goes on another diatribe that we have misunderstood the Scriptures and who God really is: “Finding one’s self in God is also to find God in one’s self…. The glory of God is the human person fully alive.” What does she recommend for reading? The New Agers’ favorite Bible, of course, The Message(Eugene Peterson). She also says to practice faith, prayer, yoga, meditation. (p. 188-189) 

Butler Bass describes her anticipated new spiritual awakening this way: “I think the awakening might be a little like graduation… faithful people who have – willingly or unwillingly – left the old world for a new one…. The old religious world is failing, but the Spirit is stirring anew…. I imagine Christians carrying high the cross all different varieties with their bibles, prayer books, icons, rosary beads, Jews the Torah, Muslims the Qur’an, Buddhists with their Dharma wheel Is. 2:2-4.”(p. 268)

Example of the books being promoted at the Parliament



Sunday, the 18th session was called “Focus on Climate Change.” It was moderated by Al Gore’s daughter Karenna Gore Schiff. Brian McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christianity and a dozen more interfaith type books, spoke about saving the environment: “We must transform the world and to do what religion has to, to deploy vast numbers of contemplative activists. We are all sister and brothers. The reason there is hate and racism and war is because the human race has not united. The reason that there are so many religions is because everybody’s egos are in the way. If we love God we will love creation. Religion needs to be schools of love.” 

The propaganda pushed at these sessions was love, love, love, but not for the Word of God. Peace, peace, peace, but only after divisive “Christians are put in their place,” wherever that may be. Dialog, dialog, dialog; however, dialog is seen as divisive if you are a dogmatic Bible believing old patriarchal Christian. 

So how are they going to bring about this change of doctrine and ring in the new? Well, of course they call it social action. But it is reallycircles of change, self-help groups, community social action groups, youth groups, college prayer groups, play groups for the kids, drug rehabs, online groups, you name it.



A book titledMoving Toward the Millionth Circleby Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., is promoted by New Age leaderMarianne Williamson (A Course in Miracles) on the back jacket cover:“The metaphoric circle is the tipping point into a post-patriarchal era, based on the premise that when a critical number of people change their perceptions and behavior, a new era can begin.” 

The words tipping point are another buzz term they use for winning! (She sure does not know the Lord God because He works in small numbers and wins every time!) 

There is a chapter on the great awakening in Butler Bass’s book Christianity after Religion. To paraphrase what she said: “Tuesday night we met in a college dorm calling it Bible study, but it was really church…. We read Call to Commitment. We wanted to be like the book said, combining our newly discovered understanding of ancient Christian theology, practice and liturgy, with our new passions for global community, the environment, and gender equality. Such experiments popped up all over campus….” 

They declared in unison these thoughts: “Earth cannot be changed for the better unless the consciousness of individuals is changed. We pledge to work for such transformation in individual and collective consciousness, for the awakening of our spiritual powers through reflection, meditation, prayer, or positive thinking, for a conversion of the heart.” (p. 14, Karl-Josef Kuschel, Global Ethic: The Declaration of the Parliament of the World’s Religions, edited by Hans Küng) 



The common theme throughout the conference was Muslims uniting with Jews, Catholics and Christians at all cost. Drop doctrine, drop all differences to join together for the common core of one world religion, and government – and everyone must be engaged in some sort of service to be accountable in healing the earth.  

Love is pushed in all directions and is the end-all statement at all cost. Marianne Williamson’s book A Return to Love: Reflections of a Course in Miracles (which has sold over three million copies, by the way) is like the textbook for their interfaith movement. In so many articles and leaflets I have read “love” even if it means leaving your faith! Love becomes your highest priority. For all intents and purposes I will call them the “Love Bombers.” It draws the desperate into their web of deceit. 

Another doctrine was evident. These people are “feeling oriented.” Everything is based on their feelings: if it feels good, it is God. If it sounds good, it is God. Experiences are held as gospel truth. Their intuition is truth and reality. 

The Compassion Games 2015 are linked to the Parliament


Besides the “Love” word we heard the word “compassion” riddled throughout the sessions and over-used in their materials. While these words are not bad words they have become re-defined within the doctrines of this emerging interfaith movement. Unfortunately many mainline churches are pounding the same drumbeat for ecumenical doctrines, and finding fellowship with the world to be very palatable. 

Faith traditions united for a program at the Salt Lake Mormon Tabernacle. Here is a report by Marjorie Cortez, posted Oct 18th, 2015 @ 10:30pm:“But Parliament takes it a step further because of the wide array of faiths represented. You have people who could be in contention with each other who are not. We all seem now to realize as we’re here that we are one humanity and we do believe in one God….”

Several booths at the Parliament

This conference left me sad as I noticed babies, and pregnant new mommies, having chants spoken over their bellies. Old people, hobbling or being wheeled in chairs to the next event, were promised karma and the next life. I never felt so helpless, but I realized this is what the Lord meant the Way is narrow and few will find it. Christians are now seen as mean and unknowledgable, even while warning those to get out of the fire. 

May the Lord Himself stifle their efforts and open the ears of those in our path for Jesus Christ. We need to witness now more than ever before, now before the door shuts and their time has run out.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(1 John 1:9)

“LEVEL GROUND”: CHICK-FIL-A LISTED AS SPONSOR OF APOSTATE, HERETICAL “FAITH BASED” HOMOSEXUAL FILM AND ARTS FESTIVAL


CHICK-FIL-A LISTED AS SPONSOR 
OF “FAITH BASED” 
HOMOSEXUAL FILM AND ARTS FESTIVAL

An online petition has been launched over revelations that the popular evangelical-owned fast food restaurant Chick-fil-A has been listed as a sponsor of a “faith-based” homosexual film and arts festival.
Level Ground began as a student-organized event in 2013, and was touted as the “world’s first faith-based LGBT film festival.” It has since expanded to six cities across the country and includes not only film, but music, theater, visual arts, comedy, and various workshops with the goal of “elevating the public discourse around the otherwise polarizing topics of gender identity and human sexuality.”
“The Level Ground Festival draws a unique audience that reflects the full spectrum of religious (and non-religious) beliefs, gender identities, and sexual orientations,” the festival website outlines. “All denominations, theologies, beliefs, races, and ages are welcome.”
Earlier this month, the Level Ground Festival opened in Nashville, being sponsored by the pro-homosexual Gracepointe Church and Vanderbilt Divinity School, among others. The event featured panel talks that included former Contemporary Christian artist Jennifer Knapp, who came out as a lesbian in 2005 and went on to found a homosexual advocacy group, as well as folk musician Derek Webb, known for his song “I Repent” and his former role in the Christian group Caedmon’s Call.
Other attendees included Melissa Greene, formerly of the group Avalon and worship leader at Gracepointe, and Karen Swallow Prior of Virginia’s Liberty University.
But Level Ground has general sponsors as well, which the group has posted on its website. Included on the page among Whole Foods, Hilton Pasadena, and Stone Brewing Company is the popular fast-food restaurant Chick-fil-A.
On Friday, a concerned Chick-fil-A patron launched a petition to bring the sponsorship to the attention of the company’s leadership.
“Per our research and findings, Chick-fil-A is a sponsor of ‘Level Ground’ … [a]nd upon further inquiry, your sponsorship of this organization supports pro-gay organizations … and many other groups that promote an agenda which is contrary to Chick-fil-A’s corporate stance on Christian values regarding marriage and stewardship,” the petition reads.
“In light of these findings, we ask that Chick-fil-A issues an official response regarding this sponsorship, along with any statement your team feels is necessary to clarify Chick-fil-A’s corporate stance regarding previously stated Christian values on marriage and stewardship,” it says.
As previously reported, Chick-fil-A came under fire in 2012 from homosexual advocates after President Dan Cathy spoke in favor of Biblical marriage.
“We are very much supporting of the family—the Biblical definition of the family unit,” he told the Baptist Press. “We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives,” he said. “We give God thanks for that.”
According to the Washington Post, Cathy had also stated on a radio broadcast that he believed that the promotion of homosexual “marriage” was evoking the wrath of God upon America.
“As it relates to society in general, I think we’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,’” he opined. “And I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is about.”
After the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a key part of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), Cathy Tweeted, “Sad day for our nation. [The] founding fathers would be ashamed of our generation to abandon wisdom of the ages re: cornerstone of strong societies.” He later deleted the post.
Following uproar about the matter, including assertions that the company donates to organizations that oppose same-sex “marriage,” Chick-fil-A issued a statement outlining that it had never sought to donate to groups that speak against homosexuality, and that “[g]oing forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.”
“For many months now, Chick-fil-A’s corporate giving has been mischaracterized,” the fast food chain wrote in a separate news release. “Our intent is not to support political or social agendas.”
Christian News Network reached out to Chick-fil-A for comment and explanation regarding its sponsorship of Level Ground, but a response was not received as of press time.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD: LATEST UNDER COVER VIDEOS~BURNING ABORTED FETUSES AS FUEL

Planned Parenthood TX Abortion Apprentice Taught Partial-Birth Abortion to “Strive For” Intact Heads

Published on Oct 27, 2015
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

#PPSellsBabyParts PLANNED PARENTHOOD TX DOC: HARVESTING INTACT FETAL HEADS “WILL GIVE ME SOMETHING TO STRIVE FOR”
Dr. Amna Dermish, Planned Parenthood Late-Term Abortion Doctor in Austin, TX, Taught by PPFA Senior Director of Medical Services Dr. Deborah Nucatola to Use Partial-Birth Abortions For Intact Fetuses

Contact: Peter Robbio, probbio@crcpublicrelations.com, 703.683.5004

AUSTIN, Oct. 27–The eleventh video release from The Center for Medical Progress in the ongoing Planned Parenthood baby parts scandal shows the abortion doctor for Planned Parenthood in Austin, TX, Dr. Amna Dermish, describing a partial-birth abortion procedure to terminate living, late-term fetuses which she hopes will yield intact fetal heads for brain harvesting.

Dr. Dermish admits she was trained by the Senior Director of Medical Services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Dr. Deborah Nucatola. Nucatola described a partial-birth abortion technique to harvest fetal organs in the first Planned Parenthood video released July 14 by CMP.

“My aim is usually to get the specimens out pretty intact,” says Dermish, speaking to actors posing as a fetal tissue procurement company. Dermish admits that she will sometimes use ultrasound guidance to convert a 2nd-trimester fetus to a feet-first breech presentation: “Especially the 20-weekers are a lot harder versus the 18-weekers, so at that point I’ll switch to breech.”

“That’s what Deb [Nucatola] was telling us, was it really makes a difference for tissue collection at PPLA,” says one of the actors, referencing Nucatola’s technique for organ harvesting. “It’s really nice when it’s, yeah–I trained with her,” replies Dermish.

In reply to a question about harvesting fetal brain, Dermish notes, “I haven’t been able to do that yet,” but exclaims with laughter, “This will give me something to strive for!”

Dermish does not use the chemical digoxin to kill the fetus before 20 weeks, so her feet-first, intact extraction abortions are done on living fetuses. Using ultrasound guidance to manipulate the fetus from vertex to breech orientation before extracting the yet-living fetus is a hallmark of the illegal partial-birth abortion procedure (18 U.S.C. 1531).

Dermish also affirms a fetal body part price of $50 or $60 per specimen. The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).

The state of Texas recently moved to disbar Planned Parenthood from taxpayer funding on account of Medicaid fraud and abortion-related crimes. Governor Greg Abbott recently said in an interview that the state of Texas is now in possession of “hard evidence” that Planned Parenthood is engaged in “violations of federal and state law concerning abortion procedures.”

“Less than 4 miles away from the Texas state capitol, Planned Parenthood routinely practices barbaric partial-birth abortions on living, late-term fetuses,” notes CMP Project Lead David Daleiden. “Planned Parenthood’s crimes are not just the result of local bad actors, but are tolerated and even encouraged at the highest levels of the national organization. State-level criminal investigations must press charges, and Congress’ new select committee must pursue a deep and comprehensive accounting of Planned Parenthood’s atrocities against humanity.”

Abortionist Wants To Burn Aborted Fetuses As Fuel

LAUGHING ABORTIONISTS: 

‘PULL OUT BABY HEARTS AFTER ABORTION, 

JUST FOR FUN. IT’S CUTE’

An eleventh undercover video was released Tuesday by the Center For Medical Progress, again capturing officials at Planned Parenthood admitting to selling aborted body parts, and laughing about it.
This time an abortion doctor for Planned Parenthood in Austin, Texas. discusses harvesting the “intact” heads of late term aborted babies for research.
“My aim is usually to get the specimens out pretty intact,” the doctor, Amna Dermish, tells the actors posing as potential fetal tissue buyers.
Dermish also admits that she sometimes alters the abortion procedure in an effort to preserve the fetus for harvesting.
She states that she sometimes ultrasound guidance to convert a 2nd-trimester fetus to a feet-first breech presentation: “Especially the 20-weekers are a lot harder versus the 18-weekers, so at that point I’ll switch to breech.” Dermish states.
The use of the technique means that the fetus is in many cases still living when extracted. It is identical to partial-birth abortion procedures, which were banned by Congress years ago.
When asked by the reporters about harvesting fetal brains, Dermish laughs and tells them “I haven’t been able to do that yet… This will give me something to strive for!”
Dermish also discusses the value of fetal body parts, affirming the reporter’s declaration that the usual price is $50 or $60 per specimen. Again, it is illegal to buy or sell human fetal tissue.
Dermish also describes the brutal technicalities of carrying out the abortion while attempting to keep the fetus intact in order to sell it on to researchers.
“It was trunk intact, so usually what I do, if it’s a breech presentation, I’ll remove the extremities first, the lower extremities, and then go for the spine and sort of bring it down that way,” Dermish notes.
“I always try to keep the trunk intact,” she continues. “Always trying to aim for the spine to bring it down. It just makes the procedure easier.”
“One of our POC persons is really into organ development,” she adds, noting “She’ll pull out kidneys, and heart and like heart we frequently see at nine weeks and she always looks for it… just for fun.”
Again laughing about the gory procedure for some bizarre reason, the Whole Woman’s Health official with Dermish states “It’s cute.”
Pro-life advocates reacted to the latest video with horror.
“Less than 4 miles away from the Texas state capitol, Planned Parenthood routinely practices barbaric partial-birth abortions on living, late-term fetuses,” CMP head David Daleiden said of the video.
“Planned Parenthood’s crimes are not just the result of local bad actors, but are tolerated and even encouraged at the highest levels of the national organization. State-level criminal investigations must press charges, and Congress’ new select committee must pursue a deep and comprehensive accounting of Planned Parenthood’s atrocities against humanity.” Daleiden added.
Also commenting on the new video, Representative Marsha Blackburn, who is leading the panel investigating Planned Parenthood, expressed disbelief and disgust.
“Is this how babies should be treated? To be harvested for their heads?” said Blackburn. “As a grandmother, each video absolutely breaks my heart. But we now have a select panel that will examine the sale of baby body parts. As I’ve said before, this is going to be an information based, fact-finding endeavor to bring all the facts into the light of day as we work to protect the dignity of human life.”

NATIONAL DEBT TO REACH $20 TRILLION WITHIN 18 MONTHS OR SOONER; BOEHNER CUTS DEAL WITH WHITE HOUSE

MORE DEBT FOR US & OUR CHILDREN,

WHILE THEY SMILE WITH OBAMA

Boehner Cuts Deal With White House; 

National Debt to Reach $20 Trillion

BY BOB ADELMANN
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

After working privately over the past several weeks with members of the White House staff, as well as with Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John Boehner succeeded late Monday night in cobbling together a deal that gives everyone in Washington what they want but leaves the bill for the taxpayer. By the time the dust settles, the deal will cause the country’s national debt to reach $20 trillion within the next 18 months, if not sooner.
Doing an end run around usual House procedures, Boehner went over the heads of numerous committee chairmen to deal directly with the White House. In essence, the deal emasculates the “sequester” cuts built into law in 2011, gives President Obama a blank check to fund his government through the end of his second term, expands military spending, and keeps the Social Security disability program solvent for another six years.
The total increased spending is more than $100 billion, with promises that, as usual, it won’t cost the taxpayer anything because the increased spending will be “offset by savings” elsewhere in the government's gargantuan budget, spread out over the next decade. Lip service was given in the deal that the increased government spending will be funded by selling some oil from the government’s strategic reserves and holding radio spectrum auctions, along with making some modest changes in the healthcare law. The deal also mentions possible savings through changes in crop insurance benefits and spending money seized from criminals by the Justice Department.
The deal is expected to pass the House on Wednesday, just in time for the House to vote in a new speaker on Thursday, widely expected to be establishment Republican Paul Ryan. This leaves Ryan with a “clean barn,” as Boehner expressed it: “I don’t want to leave [Ryan] a dirty barn. I want to clean the barn up a little bit before [he] gets here.”
Voices of dissent were heard across the Potomac. Complaining about Boehner’s unilateral dealings without consulting committee chairman per House rules, Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.) expressed his outrage: “He [Boehner] threw the committee chairmen under the bus.” Representative Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) said, “I can’t vote for something where we spend the money today and save it 10 years from now. That, to me, is crazy.” This was echoed by Representative Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.) who said this is “a two-year budget deal that raises the debt ceiling for basically the entire term of this presidency.”
The deal solves a number of pressing issues while ignoring the runaway spending. The debt limit was expected to be reached by November 3, and the government was expected to run out of money no later than December 11. It takes off the table any chance of a government shutdown, and kicks the can past the November 2016 elections for the following Congress to deal with. It removes embarrassing questions that Republicans running for office would face next fall from their constituents. It gives the Republican warhawks more Pentagon spending ($50 billion), and it gives the Democrat liberals more welfare spending ($50 billion), with another few billion for unspecified military purposes.
Heritage Action and the Club for Growth, in a joint statement of disgust, said the deal “was brokered by a lame-duck Speaker and a lame-duck President [and] represents the very worst of Washington: a last-minute deal that increases spending and debt [while calling it] fiscal responsibility.”
More crudely but perhaps more accurately, Boehner’s efforts to “clean the barn” before leaving office were characterized by Heritage Action’s CEO, Michael Needham:
In Washington, “cleaning the barn” is apparently synonymous with shoveling manure on the American people. John Boehner is clearly a rogue agent, negotiating on behalf of well-connected special interests [but] not the voters who gave him the gavel.
The deal, to be voted on on Wednesday, will require every Democrat in the House and an estimated 90 to 100 Republicans to pass. Then it moves on to the Senate where McConnell is busy lining up support for the bill. From there, it goes to the president’s desk for signing. All just in time for new House Speaker Paul Ryan to inherit a nice clean and tidy barn.
At the start of Bill Clinton’s administration, the country’s national debt stood at just over $4 trillion, a staggering sum beyond comprehending. Under Clinton it grew to $5.7 trillion, and then it nearly doubled under “conservative” George W. Bush to $10.6 trillion. Now, seven years later, the national debt is $18.7 trillion, soon to reach $20 trillion. Establishment Republicans get what they want: more military spending. Establishment Democrats get what they want: more welfare spending. What does the taxpayer get? The bill.
That’s how the establishment does business in Washington. 



GERMAN MIDDLE CLASS BECOMING “RADICALIZED” IN BACKLASH AGAINST MIGRANT INFLUX~GERMANS CAN’T GET GUNS LEGALLY; AUSTRIANS FACE SHORTAGE AFTER STOCKS OF GUNS SELL OUT

MIDDLE CLASS BECOMING “RADICALIZED” IN BACKLASH AGAINST MIGRANT INFLUX, WARN GERMAN SECURITY EXPERTS

Domestic unrest may occur if Merkel’s 
open border policy isn’t checked
BY PAUL JOSEPH WATSON
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research 
purposes:

A letter obtained by German newspaper Die Welt written by top security experts warns that the middle class in Germany is becoming “radicalized” in response to the migrant influx and that domestic unrest may occur as a result.
“The high influx of people from other parts of the world will lead to instability of our country,” a security official told the newspaper, adding that the middle class is becoming, “radicalized because they mostly do not want this immigration and it is forced by the political elite.”
The official notes that tension is so fraught over the situation that some Germans may even resort to breaking the law to express their grievances.
“The German security authorities are not and will not be able to fend off these imported vulnerabilities and the reactions they trigger among the German population,” states the letter.
The security experts warn that the integration of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants is simply not possible and that Angela Merkel’s policy will cause Islamist extremism and anti-Semitism to soar.
The letter is unsigned but has been “circulated among high-ranking security officials in the federal government,” according to the report.
Former President of the German Secret Service (BND) August Hanning has issued a ten point plan in order to resolve the crisis.
The plan includes rejecting immigrants who arrive from a safe country of origin, as well as the “strict application of the national and supranational law” to regain control of Germany’s borders.
“The absorption capacities in Germany are exhausted until further notice and Germany can take no additional migrants,” asserts Hanning.
Meanwhile, a similar backlash in Austria has led to a surge in firearms sales, with citizens fearing attacks by Muslim invaders.
“A Czech TV report confirms that long guns – shotguns and rifles – have been flying off the shelves in Austria, and Austrians who haven’t already purchased a gun may not have a chance to get one for some time. They’re all sold out,” writes WND’s Leo Hohmann.

Muslim Invasion Update: Austrian Citizens Are Buying Guns

REPORT BY CZECH TV, TRANSLATED BELOW:
ENGLISH TRANSCRIPT:
In Austria, there has been a rapid increase in the sales of weapons to private individuals. All long guns are currently completely sold out. Those arming themselves are primarily 
women. Austrians have begun to arm themselves with projectile weapons. If anyone wants to buy a long gun in Austria right now, too bad for them. All of them are currently sold out. This is reported by the Austrian outlet ‘Tiroler Tageszeitung’. It provides accessible 
information regarding the purchasers, which shows that all the stock is sold out.
“We cannot complain about lack of demand” says Stephan Mayer, a gun merchant.
He further claims this is the case for the last three weeks. The huge demand has its roots in fears generated by by social changes. “People want to protect themselves,” says Mayer. 
”Nonetheless, the most common purchasers of arms are primarily Austrian women They are buying tear [pepper] sprays, which are much in demand,” says Mayer.
He claims that guns are truly in great demand, and more potential customers are entering 
the market than ever before.
Till not too long ago, the major customers of gun shops were mainly sport shooters or 
rangers. But the most common customers now are people who are worried about their 
personal safety, yet who had never had any involvement with weapons prior to this.
The Austrian Minister of Interior must be informed by the potential gun owner of the reason why they wish to have a permit to own a gun. On internet pages, there also appeared 
those who give this as a reason. Projectile weapons in categories C and D, that is rifles and shotguns, may be purchased by every adult Austrian, if he submits a request with the 
reason [to own the gun]. These may be for hunting, sport shooting or self defense.
Migration, in all of human history, comes with many worries, says Viennese sociologist 
Girtler. Some people see the main cause of danger in these foreigners, who have this 
aggression in their blood. Girtler stated that this fear is unfounded. According to this 
sociologists, no such claims should ever be published about migrants or any groups.
The Austrian journalist Wittinger (?) commented on the situation as follows: if the local 
residents are buying weapons because they want to use them to protect themselves against hunger and terror from the migrants, then something is very wrong here. Shotguns will 
not, after all, solve any immediate problems, quite the contrary. This article is published on the main page of SKA.
Islamists are sending this message: ”We will cut the heads off unbelieving dogs even in 
Europe. Look forward to it, it’s coming soon!” German security authorities, including the 
Federal Minister of the Interior Thomas de Maiziere, are again on full alert. One of about 
500 of their jihadis who are fighting in the Middle East addressed his co-residents back 
home in a video, in which, in German, he urges the slitting the throats of unbelievers back home, in their country. That is, in Germany.
This is accordingly a new quality of propaganda, and threats which must be prevented. 
Overall, the Ministry of Interior stated that Germany is in the crosshairs of Islamic terrorists, but that he does not have any indications of specific threats, informs the server of the 
Czech portal of eurabia.cz with a link to German media.
Islamic State-trained Jihadists are now, as European citizens, returning, or they are trying 
to infiltrate into Europe as immigrants. More and more the whole thing is turning into the 
situation that we will experience the much-touted Arab Spring from very close up – right 
here, at home.
What’s more, many European states are alienating part of their own populace with 
unfortunate social and multicultural politics, merciless removal of children, unfair seizures, 
and trading on traditional European values and with policies which are usually less friendly 
towards conservative and traditional native inhabitants and leans towards that portion of 
inhabitants who have little trouble with globalization and nonchalant liberalization, removal of traditions, and Islamisation. Yet we will not be able to rely on it that portion of 
[population] once the Arab Spring comes here. And that will probably be, as they say, 
closing the barn after the cows are gone…

ISLAMIC INVASION PULLS TRIGGER: 

EUROPE NOW SCRAMBLES FOR GUNS

Many 'now wish they had a 2nd Amendment'

BY LEO HOHMANN
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

Austrians are arming themselves at record rates in an effort to defend their households against feared attacks from Muslim invaders.
Tens of thousands of Muslim “refugees” have poured into Austria from Hungary and Slovenia in recent months on their way to Germany and Sweden, two wealthy European countries
that have laid out the welcome mat for migrants. More than a million will end up in Germany alone by the end of this year, according to estimates from the German government.
Obtaining a working firearm and ammunition in Germany, Britain, Denmark and the
Netherlands is practically impossible for the average citizen. Germany, for instance, requires a psychological evaluation, the purchase of liability insurance and verifiable compliance
with strict firearms storage and safety rules. And self-defense is not even a valid reason to
purchase a gun in these countries.
The laws in Austria, while still strict, are a bit less overbearing.
A Czech TV report confirms that long guns – shotguns and rifles – have been flying off the
shelves in Austria, and Austrians who haven’t already purchased a gun may not have a
chance to get one for some time. They’re all sold out.
And those arming themselves are primarily women.
“If anyone wants to buy a long gun in Austria right now, too bad for them,” the Czech
newscaster says. “All of them are currently sold out.”
He cites the Austrian news outlet Trioler Tageszeitung as the source of his report.
“We cannot complain about lack of demand,” Stephen Mayer, a gun merchant, told Trioler
Tageszeitung.
He claims the stock has been sold out for the last three weeks and that demand is being
fueled by fears generated by social changes.
“People want to protect themselves,” Mayer said. “Nonetheless, the most common purchasers of arms are primarily Austrian women.”
They are also buying pepper sprays, which Mayer said are in big demand among those who can’t get a gun.
Alan Gottlieb, executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, said he
recently returned from a gun rights event in Europe, where he sensed a change in attitude
toward firearms.
“I just returned from a gun rights meeting in Belgium, and I can attest that all over Europe people now want the means to defend themselves,” Gottlieb told WND. “Self-defense is no
longer a dirty word. In countries like Austria, where it is still legal to own a firearm, gun
sales are at record levels. I can tell you first-hand that people in Europe now wish they had a Second Amendment.”
More potential new customers are entering the market than ever before, according to the
Czech report.
Until the refugees started flooding Europe, it was mostly hunters and sport shooters who
purchased firearms. Now, people are seeking weapons for self-defense because they are
worried about their personal safety. Most have never used a gun before.
So-called "projectile weapons" are available in Austria under two classifications, C and D,
which are rifles and shotguns. Every adult Austrian is legally able to apply for a weapons
permit but must disclose to the government their reason for wanting to own a gun.
The Czech station cited an interview with a sociologist and an Austrian journalist, both of
whom said the weapons purchases were based on unfounded fears about foreign migrants.
'Something is very wrong here'
The Viennese sociologist, identified only as Mr. Gertler, said no such fears about migrants
should ever be published by any Austrian news outlet.
A journalist named Wittinger said "something is very wrong here" if Austrians are buying
guns to protect themselves against migrants.
"Shotguns will not, after all, solve any immediate problems, quite the contrary," he said.
The Czech TV station then reported that Islamists are promising: "We will cut the heads off unbelieving dogs even in Europe."
"Look forward to it, it's coming soon!" the Czech newscaster said.
ISIS-trained jihadists are now returning as European citizens or they are trying to infiltrate as migrants. In one propaganda video an ISIS operative informs his comrades back home
in Germany to slit the throats of unbelievers in Germany, Czech TV reports.
"Overall, the ministry of interior stated that Germany is in the cross-hairs of Islamic
terrorists but that he does not have any indications of specific threats," he said.
Bracing for another Islamic invasion
The Czech site reflects awareness of a major event in Western history, said Larry Pratt,
executive director of Gun Owners of America.
"Polish King John Sobieski defeated the Muslim invaders at the gates of Vienna in 1683.
Another Muslim invasion is underway and Austrians are alarmed, hence their run on gun
stores," Pratt told WND. "Women are right to be concerned in view of the Muslim view of
women that they are good for raping and little else."
The Czech TV report cited the Arab Spring as the root cause for the flood of Muslim
migrants into Europe.
"More and more, the whole thing is turning into the situation that we will experience the
much-touted Arab spring from very close up – right here at home," the reporter said.
"What's more, many European are alienating large part of their own populace with
unfortunate social and multicultural politics, merciless removal of children, unfair seizures
and trading on traditional European values and with policies which are usually less friendly
toward conservative and traditional native inhabitants and leans toward that portion of
inhabitants who have little trouble with globalization and nonchalant liberalization, removal of traditions and Islamization. Yet we will not be able to rely on it, that portion of
(population) once the Arab Spring comes here. And that will probably be, as they say,
closing the barn after the cows are gone."

Women Arm Themselves as Army of Rapist Migrants Invade Europe
Published on Oct 28, 2015
Sealing the Hungarian border will not stem the tide of Muslim migrants as long as Germany & Sweden offer the incentive of open borders and the open coffers of the welfare state. With crime, especially rape, soaring from the migrants, women in Austria are arming themselves with firearms and the German government fears a backlash from citizens who have been “radicalized”, awakened to the betrayal by their own governments.

Europeans Wish They Had A Second Amendment
Published on Oct 28, 2015
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This is the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. Adopted on December 15,1791. The law was based on the 1689 English Bill Of Rights, traced back to John Locke, enlightenment philosopher and the Father of Classical Liberalism. Sir William Blackstone, 18th Century judge and politician, described this right as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state. How is it that these basic human rights aren’t recognized in the 21st Century? World Net Daily reports “Obtaining a working firearm and ammunition in Germany, Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands is practically impossible for the average citizen. Germany, for instance, requires a psychological evaluation, the purchase of liability insurance and verifiable compliance with strict firearms storage and safety rules. And self-defense is not even a valid reason to purchase a gun in these countries.” But in Austria, guns are flying off of the shelves, and the majority of buyers are women. Women fearing for their lives and the the very real danger of being raped. European women are being terrorized.  New World Order pawn Angela Merkel of Germany has led Europe on a collision course with an inevitable destiny, where Europe is handed over to the fleeing masses streaming into small European towns from Africa and the Middle East. In Africa and The Middle East birth rates are exploding, while Europe’s birth rates diminish. We aren’t witnessing a compassionate migration. What we are observing and experiencing world wide is a coordinated shift away from developed countries operated by Republics where human rights and freedom are encouraged. To a third world hell pit of shariah caliphates naively controlled by a small elitist totalitarian monarchy. For all the bleeding hearts out there. Ask yourselves, why would the leaders of these nations open their countries to waves of immigrants, while reducing the welfare of their own citizens to a living hell, where even the right to defend yourself is null and void?

In Response to Massive Influx of Refugees, 
Europeans Seek More Guns

As The New American has reported in multiple articles, European nations are frantically trying to accommodate the thousands of immigrants fleeing to Europe from the ongoing civil war in Syria. This massive influx, which has been described as an “invasion,” has prompted many Europeans to arm themselves, fearful that the migrants will cause a rise in violent crime, according to a report published by WorldNetDaily (WND) on October 26.
However, notes the report, citing Czech and Austrian sources, obtaining a firearm in Europe can be difficult to nearly impossible, depending on gun laws in each individual country. A Czech television reporter spoke mostly about the situation in neighboring Austria, which is in the main path of migrants traveling from Greece to their most popular destination — Germany. 
The Czech reporter stated that long guns such as shotguns and rifles have been selling out in Austria, and those who haven’t already purchased one may not have an opportunity to obtain one for some time. “If anyone wants to buy a long gun in Austria right now, too bad for them,” noted the Czech newscaster. “All of them are currently sold out.”
The reporter, who cited Tiroler Tageszeitung — a newspaper published in Innsbruck, Austria, as his source, also noted that most of those buying firearms in Austria are women.
The Austrian newspaper quoted Stephen Mayer, a gun merchant, who was optimistic about the strong sales: “We cannot complain about lack of demand,” he asserted. Mayer said his stock has been sold out for the last three weeks and expressed his belief that the demand is being fueled by fears generated by social changes related to the massive influx of migrants from the Middle East.
Mayer said many women are buying pepper sprays, which are a popular alternative among those who can’t acquire a gun.
WND also quoted Alan Gottlieb, executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, who told the web publication that he recently attended a gun rights event in Europe, where he detected a change in attitude toward firearms. He explained:
I just returned from a gun rights meeting in Belgium, and I can attest that all over Europe people now want the means to defend themselves. Self-defense is no longer a dirty word. In countries like Austria, where it is still legal to own a firearm, gun sales are at record levels. I can tell you first-hand that people in Europe now wish they had a Second Amendment.
Back in September, at an emergency EU summit held in Brussels, heads of government from the European Union approved a plan to distribute 120,000 migrants fleeing turmoil in the Middle East across Europe. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker had asked EU members to accept 160,000 migrants. Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia voted against the measure. Those nations are directly along the major route used by migrants entering Europe through Turkey and destined for Germany and other Western European nations.
Just two days before Juncker asked the EU to accept the large number of migrants, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized efforts by EU leaders to impose immigration quotas before the continent’s borders are made secure. Orban stated:
As long as we can’t defend Europe’s outer borders, it is not worth talking about how many people we can take in.... The quota system wants to treat the effects before it treats the causes of immigration. The main reason for this is because [the EU] cannot control its outer borders.
In response to the massive flow of migrants, Hungary built a 110-mile-long fence along its border with Serbia.
Germany has taken in more than half a million of these refugees from the Middle East, but finally reached it limits and blocked train traffic from Salzburg, Austria, to stem the tide. Germany’s Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière announced the change in policy on September 13.
While Orban blamed the massive refugee flow on the EU’s inability to control its borders, which is most certainly a factor, former U.S. Representative (R-Texas) and presidential candidate Ron Paul went to the original source of the crisis in an article reposted by The New American on September 6, noting that “there is very little attention given to the events that led [the refugees] to leave their countries.” Paul stated, in part:
The reason so many are fleeing places like Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq is that US and European interventionist foreign policy has left these countries destabilized with no hopes of economic recovery. This mass migration from the Middle East and beyond is a direct result of the neocon foreign policy of regime change, invasion, and pushing “democracy” at the barrel of a gun.
Going back to the fears generated among Europeans by the large numbers of refugees from the Middle East, it appears that such fears are well grounded. The U.K.’s Daily Mail reported last May: “Islamic State terrorists who are hell-bent on committing atrocities in Britain are being smuggled into Europe by posing as refugees trying to cross the Mediterranean.”
The Daily Mail cited as its source a Libyan security advisor, Abdul Basit Haroun, who used to live in Britain. Haroun said during a BBC Radio 5 Live Investigates program: 
[Terrorists] use the boats for their people who they want to send to Europe as the European police don’t know who is from IS and who is a normal refugee. The boat owners have a list of who to take but some people come suddenly and they’re told, “Take them with you.”…
They are for IS — 100 per cent.
A Reuters report in September quoted a statement from Gyorgy Bakondi, a security advisor to Hungary’s Prime Minister Orban, as saying that 20 Hungarian police officers had been at the Roszke-Horgos border crossing with Serbia as 1,500 migrants attempted to break through the country’s border fence. “Police also captured an identified terrorist,” said Bakondi.
Whether the hundreds of thousands of migrants include among their numbers terrorists — or simply garden variety criminals — Europeans who fear their presence in their midst certainly wish they had something akin to the Second Amendment, which safeguards Americans’ right to keep and bear arms. Gun laws vary across Europe, with some nations such as France, Germany, and the United Kingdom having strict gun regulations, and others such as the Czech Republic and Serbia allowing for greater access to arms.
