MEDIA BLACKOUT: AMERICANS NATIONWIDE TAKE TO STREETS TO CALL FOR CONGRESSIONAL DEFUNDING OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD

 
MEDIA BLACKOUT: AMERICANS NATIONWIDE TAKE TO STREETS TO CALL FOR CONGRESSIONAL 
DEFUNDING OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD

Pro-life Americans nationwide took to the streets on
Saturday to call on Congress to defund the abortion and contraception
giant Planned Parenthood.

Demonstrations took place in a reported 45 states and at
over 200 Planned Parenthood locations, from California to Alabama, to
New York and Florida, with some gatherings drawing dozens and others
drawing hundreds.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, an estimated 300 residents
participated in the event, 200 joined the protest in Fort Wayne,
Indiana, and in Peoria, Illinois approximately 70 people took to the
streets to speak out against the abortion giant.

The event was organized by three pro-life entities: Citizens
for a Pro-Life Society, Created Equal and the Pro-Life Action League.

“As long as they are going stay in the abortion business,
that is an organization that shouldn’t be getting one red cent of
federal tax money,” Monica Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-Life
Society, told Reuters.

Participants gathered at their local Planned Parenthood and
held signs expressing their opposition to taxpayer money being
distributed to the controversial organization, such as “Defund Planned
Parenthood,” “Stop abortion now” and “Abortion is not health care.”

“Why should tax dollars be given to somewhere where they’re
doing killings of babies?” participant Marisol Pfaff of Missouri told
NPR.

“They do not have mammograms. They do not provide prenatal
care. They do not provide pediatric care, so it is not comprehensive
health care for women,” participant Delia Laux of Virginia also told
reporters. “Planned Parenthood will say, ‘We’re not using that money for
abortion. We’re using it for other services.’ The fact is money is
refundable.”

As previously reported,
according to Planned Parenthood’s annual report, during the 2014-2015
fiscal year, the organization received $553 million in taxpayer
funding/grants in 2014, up from $528 million the year prior, which
equated to 43 percent of its total income. $48 million of Planned
Parenthood’s income was used for sex education, and $39 million was used
for public policy, or to influence legislation, up from $33 million in
2013. Despite its expenditures, it still garnered a $61 million dollar
profit.

It aborted 323,999 babies nationwide during that fiscal
year, equating to approximately one-third of the more than 900,000
annual abortions in America.

Those who support Planned Parenthood staged counter-protests
at more than 100 of the 225 demonstration locations on Saturday,
holding signs such as “Women are more than wombs,” “Free abortion on
demand” and “I Stand with Planned Parenthood.” Some engaged in chants
about “body autonomy” and “women must decide their fate.”

“A fetus is not a baby, abortion is not murder, women are
not incubators!” California counter-protester Maya Malika proclaimed,
according to the San Francisco gate.

“If you ever, ever, ever really cared about people, you
would not want to have someone be murdered,” pro-lifer Arline Miyazaki
called out to the those who came to defend the organization. “I’ll pray
for you.”

As previously reported, Sens. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, and James Lankford, R-Okla., recently introduced the “Protect Funding for Women’s Health Care Act,” which
would redirect the more than $500 million in federal funding from
Planned Parenthood to women’s health care providers that do not perform
abortions.

The Act notes that community health centers, local health
departments, physicians’ offices and others provide a variety of women’s
services and pregnancy care—minus the killing. Reports state that there
are over 13,500 community health centers alone that assist with women’s
health.

PERRY NOBLE’S ENDED PREACHING CAREER REVIVED AT STEVEN FURTICK’S ELEVATION CHURCH

 http://www.joy105.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/perry-noble-and-steven-furtick-feature.jpg
PERRY NOBLE’S ENDED PREACHING CAREER 
REVIVED AT STEVEN FURTICK’S ELEVATION CHURCH 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 Notable former pastor and founder of Newspring church in Anderson, SC  
gave his tacit approval of alcohol consumption in 2013. Three years later,  
he was fired by his church for “falling into sin” with alcoholism. The elders of his
 church made the decision to terminate him from the pastorate. Less than
 two months later, after a 30-day alcohol rehab program, he claimed to 
be cured of his disease and vowed to return to ministry.

I spent 30 days in a treatment facility in Arizona from
mid-July until mid-August. Being in that place allowed me to come face
to face with issues from my past as well as my current struggle, and
placed me in a place to successfully overcome my over medication via
alcohol.

Now, I’m not sure if what he said after that is a result of his years
of intoxication, or if he’s simply playing some kind of mind game
, but
he went on to say,

I can honestly say I am excited about the future God has for me and my family. The one thing I keep hearing from Him over and over again is that He is not finished with me.

Shortly after this, he started a new business.
“Churches are businesses,” he says, and offers a consulting service to
help churches gain tithing customers and increased revenue. This was his
strong point in his years of ministry. His experience of managing 425
employees with a 63 million dollar budget is his selling point.
Certainly not exegeting the Scriptures, shepherding a flock, setting an
example as a pastor being above reproach. No, it’s just a business.

Well, after all of this, it appears his preaching career is making a
comeback after all, and he’s holding true to his promise of returning to
ministry. In typical disgraced pastor fashion, he makes his triumphant
re-entry into ministry on the stage of a heretic.
Last night on Facebook he posts the following:

In July of 2016 I thought I would never preach again!
I allowed myself to be deceived by the enemy and depended on alcohol more than Jesus!
However…during this entire time Steven Furtick hasn’t been someone
who “had my back” but rather has stood by my side and been a source of
encouragement, friendship and has been willing to tell me what I needed
to hear.
Last night he allowed me the honor of returning to preaching on the
stage at Elevation – and what I thought was dead came to life again.
In
life the “who” that stands with you really does matter – and I am more
thankful for Steven and Holly than they could ever imagine…and I’m
looking so forward to being there again today.
Jesus brings dead things back to life – if you are doubting or
disbelieving I understand – I’ve been there; however, if you are bit
dead then God is not done – His plans for you are still greater than you
could have ever imagined!

Not that Perry was ever in the camp of sound biblical expositors–he
wasn’t. He was as false of a teacher as they get. But he wasn’t a Word
of Faith heretic. He was merely a seeker-sensitive preacher and a poor
exegete that gained a large following by applying his business skills
and managing 425 employees with a 63 million dollar budget. Not once has
he ever rightly divided the Scriptures.

But Steven Furtick, on the other hand, is far more than just seeker
sensitive, he’s Word of Faith–and it’s in his hands that Perry Noble has
placed his hope of returning to the stage.

For
an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be
arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,
but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He
must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be
able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who
contradict it. –Titus 1:7-9

N.A.R. PROPHETESS, JENNIFER EIVAZ, 
SEES CALIFORNIA TURNING RED, 
GOD’S BLESSINGS FLOODING IN 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 This camp is always talking about seeing a “new thing,” or some kind 
of “shift” in the movement of the Holy Spirit. Recently, New Apostolic 
Reformation (NAR) prophetess, Jennifer Eivaz wrote about a vision she 
had from an Angel by the name “209.” In the NAR world, angels are given 
numbers based on various aspects of their characteristics.

While my interns were prophesying during their training
class, I saw in the spiritual realm an angel named 209. The angel was a
little larger than a normal sized man. He was all white, including his
robe, and radiated with glory. His wings were fluttering rapidly as if
he was ready to go and do something glorious. I knew exactly why he had
come. This angel was a territorial angel assigned to the 209 region (209
is an area code) here in Central California.

As though God assigns angels to “territories” based on man-made telephone borders, I decided to look up this “Angel 209” and found the following:

Number 209 is a compilation of the energies of number 2,
the influences of number 0 and the vibrations of number 9. Number 2 adds
its energies of diplomacy and co-operation, consideration for others,
finding balance and harmony, duality, devotion and selflessness, faith
and trust and your life purpose and soul mission. Number 0 represents
the beginning of a spiritual journey and stands for potential and/or
choice, developing spiritual aspects, eternity and infinity, oneness and
wholeness, continuing cycles and flow, and the beginning point. Number 0
powerfully amplifies the energies of the numbers it appears with.
Number 9 resonates with leading by positive example, Lightworkers and
Lightworking, philanthropy and humanitarianism, problem solving,
generosity and benevolence, the Universal Spiritual Laws, Karma and the
Spiritual Law of Karma. Number 9 also relates to endings and
conclusions.

Now, if this sounds “new-agey,” it’s because it is. False prophets
and false teachers don’t rely on the Word of God to guide them to
completeness and equip them for every good work (2 Tim 3:16-17).
No, they receive extra-biblical revelations from sources not spoken of
in Scripture. They mix false religions with what appears to be true
Christianity giving themselves a form of godliness but denying its power
(2 Tim 3:5).

Jennifer Eivaz is no exception. She blatantly denies the sufficiency
of Scripture and has made a laundry list of spurious allegations against
the Holy Spirit she claims she received in this vision where she
supposedly saw this “Angel 209.” According to her recent blog post, she sees a major shift in the United States.

I was impressed by the Holy Spirit to write, “You have
deeply prayed for righteousness. You have vehemently prayed down
lawlessness. You are seeing the fruit of your prayers. Boundaries and
borders are being established in the nation as lawlessness is being
firmly challenged. Still, America will not lose her compassion. She is
still a melting pot, but I am remolding this melting pot to prevent a
melt-down. Be flexible and optimistic with change. In the midst of
change, remember that I AM still mercy. The scepter of mercy will
continue in America. Therefore, don’t be discouraged by the angry
clamor. Turn off the clatter, don’t be alarmed, and listen to Me. I am
moving things into place. I am working on behalf of this nation.”

In this vision, she saw what she calls “black lids” covering large
areas of the nation including entire cities. These lids, she writes,
were “in place to cover, silence, and muffle the gospel from being
preached in America. They were rules, regulations, court orders, and
penalties, etc.” She then supposedly sees these lids of “unreasonable
fees, penalties, fines, inflated pricing, excess charges, etc.” being
lifted in the coming days. She says it’s these “lids” that have
discouraged the church and “righteous people” from doing the work of
ministry in America.

Scripture, on the other hand, says that much of the church is worldly
and apathetic to the things of God–and this is why they don’t do the
work of ministry (Revelation 3:16).
The world has always been hostile to the gospel, yet this has never
hindered God’s purposes from being carried out. It is not government
fees and regulations that have hindered the gospel from being preached
in America. This is a ridiculous and exaggerated claim.

She continues, however, claiming that God “gave her a word that the
droughts were over” in California. The rains “came almost immediately”
after this, she says “the rains came pouring, and then flooding, into
the area the very next week.” Of course, the local television station
can also somewhat accurately predict rain a week in advance, so I’m not
really impressed with this so-called prophetic vision. Further, in
Scripture, floods are actually a sign of God’s wrath against an evil
society. However, she goes on to make a number of prophecies concerning
the state of California based off this vision. But the next thing she
says is what is really interesting. “I’ve seen blueprints from heaven
slowly descending upon the state. They are blueprints to change this
blue state to red,” she writes.

There is a challenge to corruption coming to California.
There is a scrutiny and a shaking coming our way. I’ve watched these
blueprints come down and then float back up, and then sometimes they
hover over the land right in mid-air. These blueprints are in the
balance as of now, but I heard it was a new breed of “red.”

The says that because the will of the people of California has been
overruled by the “powers of darkness” in California twice regarding
“traditional marriage,” that the people of California have planted a
“double seed” of righteousness and will “reap double for their trouble.”
How ridiculous! The people of California got exactly what they ask for.
The people of California have continued to vote in godless legislators
who pass unrighteous laws. The people of California have not willed
righteousness for their state and the people of California, as with the
rest of the nation, are under the judgment of God for their wicked
deeds.

But I digress. “I’m hearing the distinct sound of Jehu throughout the
state. It’s coming from the men! There is a new man uprising,” she
writes.

Concerning this new-age entity she refers to as “Angel 209,” she says the following:

In the recent past, there had even been a powerful
revival known as the “209 awakening.” This angel had come to wake up and
stir up the 209 area once again. Those in the 209 will continue to grow
in their core strengths of intercession, deliverance, worship, and
holiness. There will be more signs and wonders! Even more miracles and
salvations! To the 209, “You are powerful discerners and hate
compromise. You remain a challenger and contender to the occult powers.
You must now press in for business development like never before and
take your seats of authority in the state. You must firmly challenge and
overcome forces of poverty and get a stronger, more governmental
mindset.”

It’s rather peculiar that she would say “you remain a challenger and
contender to the occult powers.” Considering that the occult is exactly
what she is defiling herself with familiar spirits (Leviticus 19:31).
What Jennifer Eivaz is practicing epitomizes the occult. She seeks to
contact the spirit realm for knowledge not revealed to us in the Word of
God. The Scriptures say to pay no attention to these people, for doing
so will turn God’s wrath against you (Leviticus 20:6).
She is no different than the fortune teller in the shack down the
street, except that she blasphemes the Holy Spirit with her spurious
claims.

Of course, no false prophecy is complete without a prophetic vision of superficial “unity.” She goes on to write,

You will experience a new round of unity. There are new
sounds, new breeds, and different revival voices emerging from each of
these areas. Competition and striving is being set aside, while unity is
being made alive. One new man, one new church, and a beautiful harmony
up and down the state. There is a new sword coming to the word being
preached. There is a shout down of compromise. There is a violent prayer
rumble for holiness and revival.

This, however, is diametrically opposed to the Scriptures. There is
no such promise of a “new church,” or a “new man” anywhere in the Word
of God. The Church was founded on the Apostles and Prophets with Jesus
Christ himself as the chief cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20). “For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ,” says 1 Corinthians 3:11.
Christ founded His Church and that Church is not “new.” For in order to
build a new Church, a new foundation would have to be laid.

Jeff MaplesFolks, this woman is dangerous and needs to be exposed for
the worker of iniquity that she is. If you know anyone who follows this
woman, or any other false apostle or false prophet, please warn them to
flee from them. These people bring death and destruction. They appear
to be godly, desiring good, moral, and godly things, but they are wicked
and seek to destroy the true Church.

And
what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim
of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work
on the same terms as we do.
 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So
it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as
servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. — 2 Corinthians 11:12-15

THE CHILD FRIENDLY CHARISMATIC N.A.R. VOO DOO “CHRISTIANITY” OF BETHEL CHURCH

 
 https://imstillakid.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/my-super-powers-collection.gif
The Child-Friendly Voo-Doo “Christianity” 
of Bethel Church
BY BUD AHLHEIM
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
“Nothing short of the total
destruction of a believer will ever satisfy our adversary. Satan would
rend the believer in pieces, break his bones, and utterly destroy him if
he could. Do not, therefore, indulge the thought that the main purpose
of Satan is to make you miserable. Satan is pleased with that, but that
is not his ultimate end. Sometimes he may even make you happy, for he
has dainty poisons sweet to the taste that he administers to God’s
people. If he feels that our destruction can be more readily achieved by
sweets than by bitters, he certainly would prefer that which would best
effect his end.”  C.H. Spurgeon

Most believers who “abide in my word” (John 8:31) know that Bethel Church
is a hotbed of charlatanry.  It hurls a false gospel with a false
messiah through its multitude of on-staff false teachers and those
charlatans invited to the Bethel stage to ever keep its undiscerning
members swimming with hyped-up, ecstatic misdirection.
(When a “church” hosts perhaps the grand poobah of false teaching infamy, the grand huckster of healing Benny Hinn, their claim to being a legitimate church is as equally invalid as their claim to be “Christian.”)
So busy are they reveling in the supposed supernatural that legitimate
study of Scripture, in order to come to ‘knowledge and all discernment”
and be “able to approve what is excellent,” (Philippians 1:9-10) is intentionally precluded by staged theatrics.

Obviously, it’s an easy enough chore to build a “church” when
emotions management and manipulation are the underlying impetus, rather
than Gospel understanding and “rightly handling the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
It’s easy to whip up a crowd into an ecstatic frenzy, but much harder
to do the diligent work of teaching the Word.  What’s temporally sexy
and easy to sell is manifestly more valuable than what is edifying and
eternally significant.

“Your boasting is not good.  Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?”  1 Corinthians 5:6

While the church in Corinth had numerous issues that required at
least three letters of stern rebuke, explanatory guidance, and apostolic
encouragement from Paul (two of these three epistles are in the N.T.),
one could only guess at the gallons of ink the apostle would consume in
addressing the Scripturally-offensive teachings and practices of
Bethel.  But perhaps Paul might’ve penned a much pithier epistle were he
writing to Bethel.  Though it’s a different “Bethel,” one could imagine
a Pauline missive today that would not be unlike the “Thus saith the
Lord” warning of Amos.

“For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel:
“Seek me and live;
but do not seek Bethel”  Amos 5:4-5

A Bible-imbibing believer must always be Berean – in all things. 
Though unfortunate for those Gospel-void souls trapped in the voo-doo
“Christianity” of Bethel, authentic believers can look at it as a source
of what not to do, what not to believe, and what to avoid in the
Christian life and in a legitimate Christian “church.”  Bethel is what
you do not want to emulate.  Bethel is not what you want to seek.

One of the most saddening things hurled out of Bethel is a vigorous
“ministry” geared towards children.  The effort is couched sufficiently
in Christianese and slathered with enough of a “Jesus loves the little
children” veneer that makes the endeavors seem noble, authentic, and
upright.
  But the depth of false teaching behind the shiny, welcoming
veneer is toxic to the true Christian faith and reveals an effort to
indoctrinate children into the bootleg Bethel brand of unbiblical
supernatural religion.  As the apostle said, in a non-plussed sort of
remark about the false teachers of Corinth, “And no wonder, for even
Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.”   (2 Corinthians 11:14)  Paul would not be surprised to find the enemy at work in the church today, and perhaps no place more than Bethel.

One of the mechanisms of Bethel’s “ministry” to children is in the
K-8 private school it operates.   Bethel Christian School publishes its
monthly “Bethel Buzz” newsletter. An excerpt from February 2017’s issue
reflects something of the intentionally supernatural flavor of the
school:

“Ms. Brown had Eden open her arms in a
wide circle, prophetically declaring that she was ready to receive the
abundance of heaven. Meanwhile classmates held their hands in front of
them, palms together, their top hand flicking their bottom to symbolize
all the resources coming her way. During this brief time of prophetic
prayer, one student felt led to take some coins from his backpack and to
drop them through Eden’s circled arms.” (Source)

From Bethel’s online bookstore, under the “Children/Youth” category,
you’ll find a wide array of false charismaniacal teaching targeting
children.
 Of the over 150 children’s titles for sale, you’ll find the
book by “Mama G.” entitled God’s Li’l People and Miracles.  There’s “prophet” Shawn Bolz’ book, Growing Up With God: Everyday Adventures Of Hearing God’s Voice, 
in which kids are introduced to “automatic writing” by listening to the
presumed voice of God in their heads and then writing down the words.
 (Go HERE for more on this atrocity.)  And then there are the My Super Powers book series by Dan McCollam.

McCollam is, according to the author bio from Amazon, a “prophetic speaker and trainer” and “serves on the the teaching faculty of Bethel School of the Prophets.”  (This,
of course, begs the question – why does one need to be “trained” to use
a spiritual “gift” given by the Holy Spirit?  The apostles didn’t
establish a training school for spiritual gifts.  Paul didn’t graduate
from one, teach at one, or mention one.  Have the Holy Spirit’s imbuing
powers waned since the first century such that now we need Bethel to
teach what the Holy Spirit no longer can? Absurd.  It is charlatanry for
profit. See 2 Peter 2:1-3)

But McCollam has, in the My Super Powers
children books, answered an obvious question that parents who expose
their children to the doctrinal toxins and illicit spiritual behaviors
of Bethel must face: How do we explain this to the kids?

What do you tell your child about your ecstatic, abnormal, and
irreverent behavior during “worship?”  How do you answer your child who
asks about your drunken-like unintelligible speech?  How do you respond
to a youngster who has perhaps seen their older teenage sibling writhing
on the floor in a mosh pit of presumed mindless worship?  What
explanation is there if you have your child wait outside a Bethel “healing room” while you go in to get a cavity filled by a healer?  (There have, btw, been claims of people receiving gold fillings as a result of Bethel’s supernatural dental work.)

The answer McCollam’s series reveals is that you simply teach your
children to mimic the same illicit, irreverent behavior that you’re
exhibiting.  His My Super Powers series does just that.  The books include the following “Dear Parent” introduction:

“My Super Powers is a series of children’s books based on the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in First Corinthians 12:8-9.  I believe that children can and should be activated in the gifts of the Spirit at an early age.”

Of course McCollam and Bethel believe in “early age activation.” 
It’s necessary for the continued growth of the “church” by continuing
the deception to the next generation. But “activation” is not a Biblical
endeavor for a believer of any age.

Given Spurgeon’s assessment, Satan’s nefarious ambition is not always
to make you miserable, but to sometimes make you happy.  Thus, Bethel’s
comic book appeal to children serves as a formidable tool of deception.
The child reared on My Super Powers
fodder will likely have no capacity for discernment when, as a teen,
the opportunity to roll around “drunk in the Spirit” at a Bethel
“worship” service comes around.  They’ll likely find “Bethel fire tunnels
a legitimate extension of super powers they’ve been taught since they
were a toddler.  From that, it’s just a leap and a jump to “grave sucking” with the grown-ups.

The My Super Powers series includes the following nine, comic-book style volumes:

Source: https://shop.ibethel.org/collections/children-youth/products?filters%5Bby_author_id%5D=117

Book One  My Super Powers: Words of Wisdom


Book Two  My Super Powers: Word of Knowledge


Book Three  My Super Powers: Gift of Faith


Book Four  My Super Powers: Gifts of Healing


Book Five  My Super Powers: Working of Miracles


Book Six  My Super Powers: Gift of Prophecy


Book Seven  My Super Powers: Discerning of Spirits


Book Eight  My Super Powers: Gift of Tongues


Book Nine  My Super Powers: Interpretation of Tongues

The series has apparently been so domestically popular that it has
been released in a three-volume set called the “Global Edition,” with
each book containing three of the nine “super powers.”  They sell for
about $16 on Amazon.

The description from one of the books gives a flavor of how the
volume is written to appeal to children.  For volume 8, the gift of
tongues, the summary says:

“Marco and Mia think their television is broken until Mom
explains that it’s just on a foreign language channel.  Hearing unknown
languages makes the children wish they could speak in another
language.  That’s when Mom uses stories from her special Book to help
them discover God’s amazing gift of speaking in unknown tongues.”

The problem is here is obvious.  While little Marco and Mia may be told that Scripture – denoted as “Mom’s special Book”-(implying, it seems, that children might not possess, need, or should be able to read their own copy)
 describes “tongues” as actual foreign languages, the evidence they
might see in Mom’s behavior at Bethel is decidedly different.  What’s
likely “all Greek to me” for the kids is equally “all Greek” to the rest
of us because ecstatic gibberish is not a language, and it is ecstatic
gibberish that is predominately profiled throughout charismania.

Before I knew it, tongues was rolling out of my mouth
like water. It was such a beautiful experience, and it elevated my
connection to God. I could easily pray for others by speaking in
tongues, and even though I didn’t know what I was saying, I could see
with my spirit that it was affecting great change on their behalf in the
spirit realm! I also have the gift of discerning spirits, so I can
sense demons and angels. Even the demons respond to speaking in tongues!
I most often pray for others in tongues, but it is so nice to have a
special language to speak to God with, when I just don’t know what words
to use.  (Source)

Disregarding the staggering heterodoxic problems within this quote,
it makes clear that the “experience” of tongues in the modern church is
explicitly not the tongues of Scripture. Yet, as is evidenced by this
randomly googled citation, it is the emotional benefit that fuzzy-wuzzy
linguistics offer that is the implicit appeal of the practice. Actual
understanding of God’s Word and rational comprehension of authentic,
Biblically-informed spiritual behavior are, if even present, distant
concerns.

“I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains.”  William Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s line from Othello has been lost at Bethel and by most
participants in charismania.   By putting the false doctrines “in their
mouths” and the mouths of their children, rational apprehension of God’s
Truth, and obedient behavior in response to that Truth, has been
abandoned.  A thief has been introduced.  Their brains have been stolen.
 And their behavior is the evidence.

Bethel is comfortable indoctrinating their children in their toxic
teaching of supernatural “super powers,” but doing so is not Christian
and not Biblical. From way, way back in the Pentateuch, the Lord made
clear to His people that knowing and understanding His Word was
paramount for an obedient life of faithfulness, and that it was His Word
that was to be taught – diligently taught – to the children.

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You
shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall
be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and
shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the
way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.  Deuteronomy 6:4-7

The Word of the Lord heard by Israel from its inception, and the Word
we hear today from His Scripture, are not ecstatic, unintelligible,
feel-good, fuzzy-wuzzies.   It is antithetical that God would “reveal”
Himself by unintelligible utterances.  Why then should our apprehension
of Him be reflected in behavior marked by mindless gibberish?  He spoke
so that we might understand, and understanding so that we might obey,
and in obeying we might know Him.

For the Lord gives wisdom;
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.  Proverbs 2:6

Presumed spiritual super powers are illicit but deceptively
attractive. And by teaching children to pursue and revel in unbiblical
“Super Powers” maneuvers, it’s clear Bethel cares little about doing as
the apostle proclaimed:

But far be it from me to boast except
in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been
crucified to me, and I to the world.  Galatians 6:14

Indeed, for those trapped in the beguilement of Bethel – and their
children
– they could easily be hearkening to the words of Amos, “Come to Bethel, and transgress.”  (Amos 4:4).
 As Matthew Henry commented about the idolatrous Israelites of Amos’
day, so too does his commentary apply when considering the modern Bethel
Church:

“What is got by extortion is commonly used to provide for
the flesh, and to fulfill the lusts thereof. What is got by oppression
cannot be enjoyed with satisfaction. How miserable are those whose
confidence in unscriptural observances only prove that they believe a
lie! Let us see to it that our faith, hope, and worship, are warranted
by the Divine word.”  Matthew Henry

MONEY TALKS AMONG THE APOSTATE SOUTHERN BAPTISTS: IMB BACKS AWAY FROM SUPPORTING MOSQUES

MONEY TALKS: SOUTHERN BAPTIST IMB BACKS AWAY FROM SUPPORTING MOSQUES
BY GIDEON KNOX
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

With Russell Moore’s ecumenism in full view (the former Democratic
staffer has led interfaith prayers with Sikhs and Muslims at the Becket
Fund’s Interfaith gathering), it was no surprise when the social
progressive leader of the Southern Baptist’s ERLC supported an amicus
brief (put together by the Becket Fund) asking the federal government
to force a New Jersey township to ignore their zoning laws and allow a
Mosque to be built. What surprised people is that David Platt, who has a
reputation for his robust biblicity, also signed the brief on behalf of
the SBC’s International Mission Board, for which he serves as
president.
Platt’s move left Baptists scratching their head, wondering
what on Earth local zoning regulations and Mosque-building had to do
with the purpose of Baptist foreign missions.
We wrote about the SBC’s ambition to see the New Jersey mosque built in Worshipping Religious Liberty: SBC Joins Mosque Building Effort.
While joining in the amicus brief gave the two Southern Baptist
entities reason to sing kumbayah around the syncretistic campfire and be
praised by the growing evangelical left (which is showing more and more
strength thanks to The Gospel Coalition’s burgeoning fixation with
social justice), the reality is that the New Jersey township rejected
the mosque’s building proposal due to very standard zoning law and not
Islamophobia. That didn’t stop America’s largest and supposed most
conservative denomination from jumping on to the ACLU-bought bandwagon
and the SBC’s elitist class from pinning roses on their chests for their
politically correct open-mindedness.
But then, something interesting happened. The SBC lost funding – and
potentially significant funding – over their dalliance with the
religious left. Not only did Robert Jeffress and other prominent SBC
pastors threaten to withhold funds, one IMB trustee actually acted on
it. The unlikely hero of prevailing common sense is Dean Haun, one of
many Southern Baptist pastors to get his church to put a moratorium on
Cooperative Program offerings. The only difference with Haun is that he
was an IMB trustee and happened to pastor a megachurch with what is no
doubt a sizable annual contribution to the Cooperative Program.
Not only
was Haun – as a trustee of the entity, no less – not informed about the
IMB joining the Mosque-building effort, he was incensed that the entity
he was supposed to be helping to govern was trying to get a house of
false worship built.
We wrote about that, by the way, in SBC Loses Funding Over Mosque-Building Effort.
The IMB defended their decision to interject themselves into New Jersey zoning law on their website. They wrote…

A public record by IMB of supporting
freedom of religion for all people in the United States—regardless of
their beliefs—gives IMB workers overseas a credible foundation from
which to advocate for freedom of religious exercise in countries that
are hostile to Christianity, penalize those who convert, or make it
difficult for a new church to own or rent property for worship. … IMB’s
call on the government of these other countries to support the religious
freedom of their citizens will ring hollow if, in the USA, we only
support freedom of religion for Christians.

Within weeks of Haun withholding funds and speaking out, the IMB had
begun to walk back their decision to side with Muslims and Russell
Moore.
David Platt has now told the press

“As a result of discussions among IMB
trustees and staff over recent months, we have revised our processes
for our legal department filing any future amicus briefs. IMB leaders
are committed in the days ahead to speak only into situations that are
directly tied to our mission.”

You don’t say. Why the change of heart, when previously the IMB
asserted that the amicus brief was directly tied to their mission? The
answer? It starts with an “m” and rhymes with “honey.” The fact is, for
the massive and staggeringly expensive Southern Baptist denominational
bureaucracy, money talks louder than common sense.
Russell Moore, on the other hand, remains defiant. He told the Southern Baptist Convention messengers, “Sometimes
we have really hard decisions to make. This isn’t one of those things.
What it means to be a Baptist is to support soul freedom for
everybody.” 

And yet, while Baptists believe that religious freedom applies to
all, the ERLC says that it exists to “assist churches,” and not mosques (link).

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS: ARE THE ERLC & TGC MERGING INTO ONE?

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS: 
ARE THE ERLC & TGC MERGING INTO ONE?
BY GIDEON KNOX
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

There are two primary engines driving the popularity of Social
Justice into the heart of quasi-conservative evangelicalism. Once
bulwarks for a solid Biblical worldview and stalwart defenders of the
Gospel, both organizations have experienced serious mission drift in
recent years. Both organizations have developed a penchant for
terminology from the social progressive lexicon, like “racial justice.”
Both use the term social justice in a positive, rather than
negative, way. The two organizations share board members. The two
organizations share regular contributors to their websites. While the
ERLC’s president, Russell Moore, was daily attacking Donald Trump, The
Gospel Coalition’s Thabiti Anyabwile was endorsing Hillary Clinton in a
brilliant and cooperative one-two punch. And now, they will share a
conference. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that the Southern
Baptist’s ERLC and the cool kids at The Gospel Coalition are becoming
nearly indistinguishable.
The ERLC is now hosting
The Gospel Coalition’s Pre-Conference on April 3. The theme of the
pre-conference is,”Relentless: Gospel Courage in a Complex Culture,” and
is right up the alley of trajectory for both organizations, which have
shirked their prospective missions (ethics and religious liberty for the
ERLC, promotion of the Gospel for TGC) to become cultural commentators.
Their theme is typical and predictable, because it’s the mantra they’ve
been repeating for years; courage (or boldness or a “prophetic voice,”
you get the point) in culture, which typically means having the courage
to repeatedly side with social progressives, race-baiters and Marxists
and to treat conservative evangelicals like the enemy of all that is
good and pure.

Russell Moore is the president of the ERLC, and serves on the board of directors for The Gospel Coalition.
Joe Carter, who is the editor for The Gospel Coalition, is the “Communications Specialist” for the ERLC.
Karen Swallow Prior, the gay-friendly animal rights activist, and
feminist is a research fellow for the ERLC and a contributor The Gospel
Coalition.

Samuel James, a nepotistic, sycophantic hire at the ERLC, is now a contributor at The Gospel Coalition.
Daniel Patterson, the “chief of staff” at the ERLC is a contributor for The Gospel Coalition.

There are many more examples…Are you seeing a theme, here? While The
Gospel Coalition is a parachurch ministry that’s not really accountable
to any local churches, the ERLC is accountable to local
churches (in theory, not in reality) because it is a Southern Baptist
entity. Do Southern Baptists care if their entity is quickly merging
with an organization that allowed an explicit endorsement for Hillary
Clinton on their website? Should Southern Baptists be concerned that a
parachurch ministry seemingly has so much influence and control over
their entity?

One wonders if Southern Baptists are giving 4 million dollars to the
ERLC annually so they can help a non-denominational parachurch ministry
throw a party.

HAMAS RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO VOWING TO MURDER ISRAELIS: “WE WILL EAT YOU, ZIONISTS, WITHOUT SALT”

HAMAS RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO VOWING

“WE WILL EAT YOU, ZIONISTS, WITHOUT SALT”

This is nothing new. In 2012, Hamas released a music video declaring: “Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah.”

Maybe the Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III Laham, who has said that “No one defends Islam like Arab Christians” and “Christ was born in Palestine,” and who has claimed
that jihad massacres of Christians in the Middle East were a Zionist
plot, will want to sign up this band for his next church festival. Maybe
he could hold it in the Melkite church in Raqqa — oh, wait…

“Hamas Releases Music Video Threatening to Destroy Israel,” TheTower.org, February 9, 2017:

Hamas released a Hebrew-language animated music video on
Tuesday night titled “Zionists, You Will Perish in Gaza,” which
threatens to destroy Israel.


The video features a barrage of rockets raining down on the Jewish
state, Hamas militants blowing themselves up near Israeli soldiers, and
Jews being shot in the head. The Jewish characters resemble crude
stereotypes common in anti-Semitic media.

The lyrics include threats such as “we will eat you, Zionists,
without salt” and “ooooh…Zionist, a rocket will get you where you live.”

This is far from the first time Palestinian groups have released videos intended to threaten or scare Israelis.

In the summer of 2014, during its war with Israel, Hamas released a
Hebrew-language music video claiming, “We prepare a generation of
warriors who cling to death like the enemy clings to life.” The Times of
Israel described the video as part of Hamas’ propaganda campaign to
damage Israeli morale and rally Palestinian support behind Hamas….

77% OF REFUGEES ALLOWED INTO U.S. SINCE COURT BLOCKED TRUMP BAN COME FROM THE 7 COUNTRIES ON TRUMP’S LIST

77% OF REFUGEES ALLOWED INTO U.S. 
SINCE COURT BLOCKED TRUMP BAN 
COME FROM THE 7 COUNTRIES ON TRUMP’S LIST

 What could possibly go wrong? This.
 

“77% of refugees allowed into U.S. since travel reprieve hail from seven suspect countries,” by Stephen Dinan, Washington Times, February 9, 2017:

The State Department has more than doubled the rate of
refugees from Iraq, Syria and other suspect countries in the week since a
federal judge’s reprieve, in what analysts said appears to be a push to
admit as many people as possible before another court puts the program
back on ice.


A staggering 77 percent of the 1,100 refugees let in since Judge
James L. Robart’s Feb. 3 order have been from the seven suspect
countries. Nearly a third are from Syria alone — a country that
President Trump has ordered be banned altogether from the refugee
program. Another 21 percent are from Iraq. By contrast, in the two weeks
before Judge Robart’s order, just 9 percent of refugees were from Syria
and 6 percent were from Iraq.

“There’s no doubt in my mind they would be doing whatever they could
to get people in before something changes because, from their
perspective, their motivation is to resettle these folks. It would not
be the first time that State Department officials have prioritized
facilitating someone’s entry to the United States over security
concerns,” said Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center
for Immigration Studies.

Mr. Trump issued an executive order Jan. 27 putting in place the
early stages of his extreme vetting policy, including an immediate
90-day pause on admitting visitors from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan,
Somalia, Libya and Yemen — all countries where the government says it
can’t be sure of its vetting procedures.

The executive order also called for an immediate 120-day halt to
admitting refugees from anywhere around the globe. Mr. Trump singled out
Syria in particular, saying refugees from there are halted
indefinitely.

Late last week Judge Robart ruled Mr. Trump had likely overstepped
legal boundaries and issued a temporary restraining order for most of
the policy. An appeals court ruled Thursday to uphold the “TRO,” as it’s
known in lawyer-speak.

Immediately after Judge Robart’s decision, the State Department and
Homeland Security agencies kicked back into gear, beginning to accept
both refugees and visitors from the suspect countries.


Numbers weren’t available on the effects of the broader travel ban,
but 1,110 refugees were admitted in the days since the program was
restarted — and of those, 849 were from the seven danger countries the
president singled out. A whopping 346 were from Syria alone, and another
232 were from Iraq.


The surge has also meant a major jump in the number of
self-identified Muslims admitted: 64 percent of the new batch of
refugees are from some sect of Islam, compared to just 31 percent in the
first weeks of the Trump administration.

“It would appear, based on the numbers, that there is an effort
within the refugee resettlement program to rush in as many of the
nationals of these seven countries as possible before a ruling is made
on the TRO,” said Rosemary Jenks, government relations manager at
NumbersUSA.

Mr. Trump himself seemed to be aware of the changes, posting an
oblique Twitter message on Wednesday asking the courts to issue a new
decision overturning Judge Robart and reinstating his extreme vetting
policy.

“Big increase in traffic into our country from certain areas, while
our people are far more vulnerable, as we wait for what should be EASY
D!” the president tweeted….

ALABAMA: HAMAS LINKED “CAIR” REP SAYS: “IT’S JUST HARD BEING A MUSLIM RIGHT NOW”???

ALABAMA: HAMAS LINKED “CAIR” REP SAYS: 
“IT’S JUST HARD BEING A MUSLIM RIGHT NOW” 
BY ROBERT SPENCER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

“We’ve seen a huge spike in anti-Muslim attacks in the last year,” claims Khaula Hadeed.

In reality, FBI hate crimes statistics show
that anti-Semitic hate crimes are two times more common than
anti-Muslim hate crimes. And then there all the anti-Muslim hate crimes
that turn out to have been faked by Muslims themselves.

Hadeed works for the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) A California chapter distributed a poster telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI, and a Florida chapter distributed pamphlets with the same message. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. A CAIR operative recently called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.

“It’s just hard being a Muslim right now,” Hadeed laments. Is that
so? In reality, it’s hard being an Infidel in Fort Hood, and Boston, and
Chattanooga, and Garland, and San Bernardino, and Orlando, and Paris,
and Brussels, and Nice, and Berlin, and Jerusalem. Muslims are killing
non-Muslims in jihad attacks around the world, not the other way around.
Yet the wily Hadeed plays Greg Garrison of AL.com like a fiddle, in
claiming for herself coveted victim status. It’s a cynical, deceptive
enterprise.

“Auburn, Samford grad runs Alabama Islamic group: ‘It’s just hard being a Muslim right now,’” by Greg Garrison, AL.com, February 10, 2017:

Khaula Hadeed came to the United States from Pakistan in
2002 to join her husband, who was training in internal medicine in New
York.

They moved to the South in 2004 so he could serve the indigent population in rural Alabama.

Dr. Talha Malik and another Muslim doctor were among three physicians
working in the emergency room at Bullock County Hospital. Malik worked
in Union Springs for four years before becoming a researcher at UAB,
where he is now a gastroenterologist.

While her husband treated needy patients, Hadeed graduated from
Auburn University with a bachelor’s degree in political science in 2008
and a master’s degree in international relations in 2009. She graduated
from Cumberland Law School at Samford University in Birmingham in 2014
and had the couple’s first child, a daughter, in 2015.

Hadeed, 32, now serves as executive director of the Alabama chapter
of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which incorporated
in 2015. She has been helping Alabama Muslims straighten out problems
with travel and visas. And there are a lot of problems these days.


“It’s just hard being a Muslim right now,” Hadeed said.

The CAIR group was formed as a response to anti-Sharia laws proposed
in the Alabama Legislature. Amendment One, an amendment to the state
constitution that prohibits foreign law being used to decide cases in
Alabama courts, passed easily in 2014 and was added to the Alabama
Constitution. “That’s the climate, a climate of fear,” Hadeed said.
“People are giving away their own rights out of fear.”

Her legal training has now been put to use in trying to help Muslims
and their families who are having problems traveling to the United
States.

In December, that happened to her mother-in-law, a Pakistani who
lives in Bahrain and had been to visit the Maliks in Alabama several
times. This time, her travel visa was denied. “They felt the attitude
change at the U.S. Embassy (in Bahrain, after the Nov. 8 election of
President Donald Trump). After pleas to government officials and a
reapplication, she was allowed to visit again.

Now Hadeed worries that her own mother, who has visited three times
in two years to see her grandchild, could have trouble visiting the next
time she tries to travel to America from Pakistan.

“In the name of national security we think there needs to be more checks,” Hadeed said. “There are already extreme checks.”

Hadeed and her husband applied for citizenship in 2015. She was
granted citizenship last year. Her daughter was born as a citizen. Her
husband is still waiting to hear back on his application. She’s not sure
why. “We’re here because of him,” Hadeed said.

“It was a grueling process to become a citizen,” she said.

Hadeed is assisting a UAB doctoral student from Syria who recently
brought his wife and daughter to the United States. He’s afraid to leave
the country because he might not be allowed back in. “This is the one
secure place he found himself,” she said.

The situation is bleak for other Syrians escaping civil war who want
to move to the United States. Birmingham has significant communities of
Syrians, Yemenis and Iranians who are all from countries included on a
seven-nation travel ban issued by Trump in an executive order that has
now been delayed by court challenges. Even with implementation of the
order delayed, citizens from those countries fear traveling to visit
sick or dying relatives, worried they may not be allowed to return.

“I am the reluctant activist,” Hadeed said. “We’re talking about things that affect people every day.”

The election of Trump and his efforts to curb the number of Muslims
traveling to the United States has thrown the Muslim community into
turmoil and uncertainty.

She has seen it before. She and Dr. Malik were married in December
2001, three months after the terrorist attacks on New York and
Washington, D.C., that left the nation in a panic. The backlash against
Muslims was harsh then, and it’s harsh now. “We’ve seen a huge spike in
anti-Muslim attacks in the last year,” she said….

Berkeley Unveils the New, Dangerous Logic of the Deranged Left:

If They Disagree With You, They have the Moral Right to KILL You Before You can Speak

Wednesday, February 8th, 2017
by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) Following the UC Berkeley violence aimed
at murdering gay conservative speaker Milo Yiannopoulos, the UC
Berkeley newspaper has published a series of columns that unveil the
dangerous new logic of the deranged Left: If they disagree with you, they are fully justified in KILLING you in order to prevent you from speaking.

In a series of essays titled “Violence as Self-Defense,” the obviously deranged Berkeley students argue that because speech they don’t like is a form of violence in their fragile snowflake minds,
they have the moral right — even the obligation — to murder people who
engage in that speech. (RELATED: Follow more news about liberal insanity at our new site Libtards.news)

This has now become the actual argument of the unhinged Left. Here’s the tortured process by which they justify all this:

Step 1) DEMONIZE political opponents as “Nazis” by
constantly lying about them until the lies are repeated sufficiently
enough to be accepted as “truth” by your peers.

Step 2) CHARACTERIZE speech from your political
opponents as “violence.” Claim that any speech you don’t like is a form
of violence itself. (Break down into tears at the sight of words you
don’t like, and convulse with self-induced paranoia to make your
victimhood seem convincing.)

Step 3) COMMIT ACTUAL VIOLENCE against your political opponents, insisting that because their speech is “violence” in your opinion, they deserve to be killed.

Step 4) JUSTIFY IT ALL by claiming you’re the victim
and had to kill the Nazis out of self-defense. Vote Democrat and
continue the cycle of insanity and violence while advocating genocide
against whites, conservatives, Jews or whatever group you don’t like at
the moment.

Then use federal funds to hire more insanely liberal college
professors to teach yet more students the same twisted logic. Rinse and
repeat, all while instantly labeling anyone who disagrees with you a
“racist” or “homophobe,” even if they’re gay.

“The first op-ed, written by UC Berkeley alumna Nisa Dang, lectured
critics of the riots to ‘check their privilege.’ Dang claimed that
Yiannopoulos’s views amount to “violence,” and that in turn legitimized
violence against them,” reports the Daily Caller.

Even daring to criticize the deranged logic of “pre-emptive violence”
by Leftists is also defined as an act of violence that would justify
them killing you first, according to Berkeley students.

“Criticisms of the riots are not just wrong, in her opinion, but also
constitute ‘violent acts’ against minority students,” writes the Daily
Caller. “She also implied in her piece that Milo and his supporters
should be killed.”

“UC Berkeley, a public campus once celebrated as the birthplace of
the Free Speech Movement of the 1960s, now apparently celebrates the use
of violence to suppress free speech and violate the civil right rights
of guest speakers and fellow students,” adds Breitbart.com, which also writes:

One essay, by Berkeley student Josh Hardman, celebrates the
“plurality of tactics,” including violence, that suppressed Milo’s
speech… He adds that violence in the service of shutting down violence
may not really deserve to be classified as “violence” at all.

Berkeley alumna Nisa Dang warns them to “check” their
“privilege.” She argues that “no protest is nonviolent.” Students were
“compelled” to protest violently, she says, because Milo’s words make
students feel unsafe, and therefore call for pre-emptive action: “If I
know that you are planning to attack me, I’ll do all I can to throw the
first punch.” Adding that “police are violent agents of the state,” she
claims that their very presence — limited as it was at the Milo event —
“creates an atmosphere that perpetuates violence on community members.”
She then mocks Milo for not facing whatever violence the rioters had in
store — “To Milo: I’m sorry that you were too scared to stand your
ground” — and hints that he ought to be murdered by those who survived
genocides by “killing Nazis and people just like them.”

Left-wing derangement crosses threshold into dangerous advocacy of actual genocide

What Berkeley’s violence-promoting Leftists don’t seem to realize is
that by arguing for this “violence as self-defense” twisted logic, they
have just invoked the same twisted reasoning of every genocidal regime in world history.

Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and even Hitler all justified their violence as a
form of “self-defense” against aggressors who they depicted as
destroying their society. Adolf Hitler’s genocide against the Jews was
supported with the logic that their “views” were a threat to German
society and had to be silenced through the prolific use of concentration
camps and gas chambers — things the radical Berkeley Left would now
openly advocate against conservatives.

Mao’s communist revolution in China, which saw communists executing
academics in the streets, was also justified by claiming that academics
were a threat to the state and therefore had to be “pre-emptively
executed” for the good of society.

Berkeley students now spout the same logic as the world’s most
murderous tyrants, apparently having learned nothing about world history
since Berkeley doesn’t provide an actual education anymore. Instead,
the school is an indoctrination center for zombie Leftists who are being trained to think like communist revolutionaries rather than patriotic Americans.

Leftists push America ever closer to kinetic civil war

Where is all this headed? It looks headed for kinetic civil war. Now that the deranged Left has decided that mass violence is justified to silence all political enemies,
watch for the journo-terrorism left-wing media to keep pushing the
uprising and violence as aggressively as possible. They are quite
literally attempting to whip up the gullible youth into a mindless
“zombie rage” uprising to accomplish three things:

Goal #1) Bait President Trump into
cracking down on the violent riots, then claim Trump is anti-freedom
because all the violent rioters were just “peaceful protesters.” (Yeah,
right.)

Goal #2) Cause so much mayhem and chaos that the
United States becomes “ungovernable” by any President, then point to
Trump in four years and proclaim, “He didn’t accomplish ANYTHING!”

Goal #3) Build the uprising toward the possible goal
of actually staging a massive communist takeover of the country. This
effort will fail, of course, but the deranged Leftists don’t realize
that yet, so they might try it.

Left-wing media engaged in outright “journo-terrorism”

Keep in mind that the mainstream media is actively engaged in pushing these three outcome goals by broadcasting daily fake news propaganda to whip up even more hatred toward President Trump and his administration. That’s why I call them “journo-terrorists” —
they are engaged in a deliberate form of psychological terrorism that
now underpins the new “philosophy of violence” being openly espoused by
the deranged Left (as clearly demonstrated at Berkeley).

The left-wing media, in other words, is the FUEL behind the left-wing
violence that continues to escalate. Hatred is their ally, and they
keep pushing lies about Trump to maximize the hatred that leads to
violence and acts of terrorism against America.
This is also why I have thoughtfully argued that President Trump may
need to declare a national emergency and quite literally seize the most
radical left-wing media outlets (CNN,
WashPost, NYT) for a short period of time to halt the cycle of disinfo(rmation),
hatred and violence that’s being used by the Left to try to destroy
America from within.

The truly irresponsible “free speech” being practiced in America
today is not coming from Milo; it’s coming from the journo-terrorists at
CNN who are ginning up what can best be called an enraged, hate-filled zombie left-wing army of obedient soldiers to carry out their violence and terrorism against all patriotic Americans.

What can YOU do about all this? Stand up for free speech and keep your powder dry

I always aim to offer practical solutions in my analysis articles,
and the strategy for navigating all this is obvious: Keep supporting
real free speech (i.e. from Milo Yiannopoulos and everyone else who’s
outspoken) while making sure you are ready for the unleashing of kinetic civil war by the deranged left.

Because when the day comes that they say YOUR speech is a form of
violence that they must stop by killing you in advance, it is truly your
rightful, moral and ethical duty to defend your life using kinetic
force to stop any immediate threat of violence. In other words, if they
are coming at you with a spiked baseball bat, screaming something like,
“YOUR WORDS ARE VIOLENT!” then you may have to invoke the laws of
physics, momentum and kinetic energy to put them down.

Just make sure you have plenty of tools ready for your own defense
because history has shown that insanely deranged Leftists, just like
zombies, always travel in groups. When they come to kill you for your
political views, you don’t want to rely on just one tool (or one
magazine).

What the deranged Left is about to discover in a very disturbing way is that trying to stage a murderous uprising in a nation with the Second Amendment won’t work out very well.
While other communist uprisings and left-wing revolts have achieved
success throughout history, every single one of them was preceded by the
disarmament of the citizens (for all the obvious reasons).

It turns out that this new logic of the insane Left — “We can kill you because we don’t like your views” — is now the greatest argument ever made for supporting the Second Amendment. If you aren’t yet a gun rights supporter, you should be!

As long as We the People maintain our Second Amendment rights, we are
capable of defending ourselves against the deranged violence of the
zombie Left, who are now openly admitting their desire is to kill you before you can speak. Let all that sink in a bit, then go out and complete your concealed carry training.

Be safe. The zombie hoards have been unleashed at Berkeley. And they
already have the internal justification they need to murder you while
claiming they are the victims. Read CivilWar.news to stay informed, and check out Conservative.news for daily updates on all political matters.

TRUMP OPENS BORDER FOR CHRISTIAN REFUGEES, BUT LEFT IGNORES

 Trump Opens Border For Christian Refugees, But Left Ignores
TRUMP OPENS BORDER FOR CHRISTIAN REFUGEES, BUT LEFT IGNORES 
 Trump allows refugees most persecuted 
over religious beliefs to enter US

There is a “blind spot” in Western countries concerning
the persecution of Christians around the world, advocates said while
noting Christians are the most persecuting religious group on the
planet.

According to a report from Open Doors, a
nonprofit organization that aids Christians facing persecution around
the world, approximately 322 Christians are killed, 214 churches or
properties owned by Christians are destroyed, and 772 acts of violence
are carried out against Christians each month.
“No person or group
should live in fear of being killed, tortured or oppressed because of
their religious beliefs,” said Paul Coleman, deputy director of the
Alliance Defending Freedom International. “By all accounts Christians
are the most persecuted group on the planet.”

In addition to a genocidal campaign waged against them by ISIS in Syria and Iraq, Coptic Christians face regular discrimination and violent terrorist attacks in Egypt.
Andrew Doran, vice president of In Defense of Christians,
argued the backlash against the provision in President Donald Trump’s
executive order granting exceptions for refugees who belong to
persecuted religions minorities stemmed from a belief in the West that
Christians are oppressors unworthy of special consideration.
“Christians
in the West have been somehow identified as the oppressor class, and
that view seems to be extended to Christians in the Middle East,” he said. “But the fact is that couldn’t be further from the truth.”
“Whether
someone is Muslim, Yazidi, Jewish, Christian or atheist, they should be
given priority if they’re facing persecution, and certainly that would
be so where there’s a finding of genocide.”
A recent survey from Rasmussen demonstrated
more Democrats believe that Muslims face more discrimination in the
United States than Christians do in Muslim-majority countries.
“Fifty-six
percent (56%) of Democrats, however, believe most Muslims in this
country are mistreated, a view shared by only 22% of Republicans and 39%
of voters not affiliated with either major party. Fewer Democrats (47%)
think most Christians are mistreated in the Islamic world, compared to
76% of GOP voters and 64% of unaffiliated.”
Despite then-Secretary
of State John Kerry’s assertion that Christians in the Middle East were
facing genocide at the hands of ISIS, less than one-half of one percent
of the 19,000 Syrian refugees admitted during President Obama’s
administration were Christians.
“They’ve been horribly treated. Do
you know if you were a Christian in Syria, it was impossible, at least
very tough, to get into the United States,” said
President Trump during an interview with the Christian Broadcasting
Network last month. “If you were a Muslim, you could come in, but if you
were a Christian, it was almost impossible, and the reason that was so
unfair, everybody was persecuted in all fairness, but they were chopping
off the heads of everybody, but more so the Christians.”
“And I thought it was very, very unfair. So we are going to help them.”
Advocates
praised the provision of President Trump’s order granting special
admission status for those persecuted for their religious beliefs,
noting is was more than the Obama administration had done.
“I
think the case could be made that Donald Trump did more in one afternoon
than President Obama did over the last six years,” Dolan said.
