“Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. He
took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of
a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your
gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt. (Exodus 32:2-4)”

Nadia Bolz-Weber is a Lutheran ‘pastor’ who has been described as
“Superhero from Planet Alternative Christian” and a “tatted-up,
foul-mouthed champion to people sick of being belittled as not Christian
enough for the right or too Jesus-y for the left” and as a “profane
bull-dike” (link).
And, as you can see from that link, the people calling her that think
all of the above is a compliment. She is a swearing, irreverent,
tattooed, man-ish lady pastor (she is married to a man, if you are
wondering) who has referred to herself as “queer” and champions leftist
Christianity. She is the ‘pastor’ of House for All Sinners and Saints
in Denver, Colorado, and wrote a book entitled “Pastrix” (“pastrix,”
like “impastor,” is a term for a female pastor) and the first word in
the book is “sh#$.”


Bolz-Weber aligns herself with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of
America (ELCA) and her praises are regularly sung in major mainstream
media as a “game-changer” in American evangelicalism.

The other figure in today’s story is Gloria Steinem. Steinem is one
of the world’s most famous feminists, and is a leftist political
activist. She first gained fame for her 1969 books, After Black Power, Women’s Liberation. She has been a steady figure in American leftist extremism, supporting issues like abortion. In 1992, Steinem formed Choice USA,
an organization seeking more access and easier, cheaper access to
abortion. She is also an advocate for homosexuality and transgenderism.
As a point of useless trivia, she is also the step-mother of Batman
actor, Christian Bale.

The two women spoke earlier this month at the 2018 Makers Conference, which advertises itself
as, “a feminist media brand for newsMAKERS, historyMAKERS, and
troubleMAKERS. We tell the stories of today’s trailblazing women to
inspire the changeMAKERS of tomorrow.” In other words, is a conference
for feminists. The organization has put together more than 400
interviews with feminist leaders from around the world and produced more
than 4,500 videos designed to help inspire new generations of
feminists. Feminists highlighed and interviewed by the organization
include Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and now, Nadia Bolz-Weber
and Gloria Steinem.

Bolz-Weber appeared on stage for twelve minutes at the conference. The video is made available here.

Regaling the crowd with her general profaneness, Bolz-Weber says that
she wanted to name her latest book, “Purpose Driven Sinners” and
likened her Masters of Divinity degree to an education from Hogwarts.
She attacked “Evangelical Purity Culture” and derided the notion of
young women keeping their virginity until marriage. She then said the
following line, which she tweeted out to her followers.

Saying that she had “to call B.S. on all that,” Bolz-Weber said that
it’s in her weakness (she’s speaking of sin) she has found value.
Bolz-Weber then went on to explain her view of repentance. It included,
and was limited to, not thinking bad thoughts about yourself.

Making an illustration from Exodus 32, Bolz-Weber compared purity
rings to the gold brought out of Egypt, and said she wanted to encourage
young women to mail them in so she could form from them a golden
vagina, and give it to Gloria Steinem as a gift.

Maranatha.

  WASHINGTON, D.C.-(Ammoland.com)-
 In a press conference today, President Donald Trump said that, “I don’t
 care of Congress does it or not, I’m writing [so-called ‘bump stocks’] 
out myself.” In response to these troubling statements, constitutional 
rights advocacy organizations Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and 
Firearms Policy Foundation (FPF) have announced that they have retained 
attorneys Joshua Prince and Adam Kraut
 of the Pennsylvania-based Firearms Industry Consulting Group, a 
division of Civil Rights Defense Firm, P.C., to submit their legal 
opposition to any rulemaking and begin preparing for litigation.

Last
month, FPC submitted a legal letter of opposition to the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ advanced noticed of proposed
rulemaking on the “Application of the Definition of Machinegun to Bump
Fire Stocks and Other Similar Devices.” In its comments, FPC explained
that the “DOJ and BATFE clearly lack the statutory authority to
re-define the targeted devices as ‘machineguns’,” and that these
ATF-approved and legally-possessed devices could not be regulated
firearms under the statutes.
FPC and FPF oppose restrictions on
the acquisition, possession, carry, transportation, and use of
semi-automatic firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts and accessories
by law-abiding people.

“We will use every resource and
remedy available to us in our ongoing defense of the Constitution, the
rights it protects, and millions of law-abiding American people” said
FPC President Brandon Combs. “While we would prefer to block any
executive action or rulemaking that would ban currently-legal firearms
parts before it becomes law, we would not hesitate to file a federal
lawsuit to protect the rights and legal personal property of gun owners
if that’s what it takes.”

“Possible”? Really? Who else could have done this? “Right-wing extremists”? Not likely. In 2015, French Jewish leader Roger Cukierman said: “All violence, and we must say this, all violent acts today are committed by young Muslims.”

Is France diverse enough yet?

“French rabbi’s baby burned after solvent placed in stroller,” JTA, February 21, 2018 (thanks to Y.):

The baby daughter of a French rabbi was burned after being exposed to solvent placed in her carriage.

The 14-month-old girl suffered burns on her back and thighs Monday in
the city of Bron, near Lyon, Le Parisien daily reported Wednesday.
The
baby is not in danger, according to the report.

The solvent had been placed inside a carriage that the baby’s
grandmother had parked in a communal space inside her apartment building
overnight from Sunday to Monday. The grandmother rushed the baby to the
hospital after noticing a severe irritation on the baby’s skin after
taking her for a walk in the stroller and then bringing her inside.

Police are looking into a possible anti-Semitic motive, perhaps by a neighbor, a police source told Le Parisien….

BILLY GRAHAM LED MILLIONS ASTRAY WITH FALSE HOPE, ALTAR CALLS~FRANKLIN GRAHAM CONTINUES HIS CORRUPT ECUMENICAL LEGACY

BILLY GRAHAM LED MILLIONS ASTRAY WITH FALSE HOPE, ALTAR CALLS~FRANKLIN GRAHAM CONTINUES HIS CORRUPT ECUMENICAL LEGACY 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.Luke 6:26

The famous Evangelist, Billy Graham, died today at the age of 99. His dynasty as the world’s foremost preacher lasted the vast majority of the 20th century and into the first decade of the 21st century. His crusades, filling stadiums and drawing crowds in the hundreds of thousands, even over a million once in Seoul, Korea, are a legacy that will be remembered forever. But what did Billy Graham’s crusades really accomplish for the Kingdom?
Billy Graham was undoubtedly an ecumenicalist, as he praised the pope as his “brother” and treated Roman Catholicism as a valid expression of the Christian faith. Speaking of Pope John Paul II after his death, Graham stated,

I think he’s with the Lord, because he believed. He
believed in the Cross. That was his focus throughout his ministry, the
Cross, no matter if you were talking to him from personal issue or an
ethical problem, he felt that there was the answer to all of our
problems, the cross and the resurrection. And he was a strong believer.

Of course, the pope of the Great Whore is no more a strong believer than Satan or the demons, of whom even believe and shudder (James 2:19). Graham’s affirmation of Roman Catholics did nothing except extend a false hope to millions who are caught up in the idolatrous religiosity of the Roman whore. Graham was even known to partner with Catholic churches during his crusades and send “converts” of his altar calls to Roman Catholic churches. In 1957, according to San Francisco News, Billy Graham stated, “Anyone who makes a decision at our meetings is seen later and referred to a local clergyman, Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish,” and according to the Florida Catholic, Sept. 1983, 600 people were turned over to the Catholic religion as a result of the Orlando crusade. Graham received an honorary doctorate from Belmont Abbey, an Jesuit Catholic school, in 1967.

Graham’s insistence on “decisional” regeneration and conversion has led to a massive influx of Charles Finney-like emotional evangelistic tactics that now invade the professing church. The idea is that anyone who might be “seeking” peace with God can simply “decide” to follow Jesus, pray a prayer asking Jesus into their hearts, and no longer be under the curse of Hell. This false gospel is now pervasive in many evangelical churches today and masquerades as a “traditional” form of Arminianism, yet this gospel of synergistic decisionalism doesn’t, in most cases, address the need for pure grace among the lost that comes only through the saving knowledge of the truth of Jesus Christ found alone in Scripture apart from any works of righteousness.
To make matters worse, Billy Graham not only affirmed Roman Catholics as valid Christian brothers and sisters, but, during an interview with the Universalist, Robert Schuller, Graham denies the exclusivity of Christ and even states that those who have never heard the name of Jesus Christ can be saved as long as they are turning to “only light that they have.” In other words, you can worship a false god and still be saved, according to Graham.

 While we mourn the loss of a fellow human made in the image of God, we should not be quick to elevate Billy Graham to hero status among the Christian faith. While only God ultimately knows his fate and the state of his heart, we can be certain that much of what he preached and taught and affirmed was antithetical to the truth of Jesus Christ and His gospel, and, for this reason, we should mourn for all of the souls he has led astray.

THE GRAHAMS EXPOSED: 
 
 
BILLY GRAHAM DEAD AT AGE 99 

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

(Friday Church News Notes, February 23, 2018, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – 

Evangelist Billy Graham died on February 21, 2018, at age 99. He has been called “America’s Pastor” and was consistently voted one of the world’s most popular men. This reminds us of Jesus’ words in Luke 6:26, “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” For the pragmatic objective of gaining a wider audience, Graham compromised endlessly. He largely invented “ecumenical evangelism,” which has done so much to build the apostate “one world church.” He turned thousands of converts over to wolves in sheep’s clothing in heretical churches. Refusing to obey Jude 3 and earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints, he pampered and praised every type of false teacher, including theological modernists who deny Christ’s divinity, virgin birth, and resurrection, and Roman Catholics who trust Mary to get them into heaven. For example, in his 1959 San Francisco Crusade, Graham honored the notorious Episcopal Bishop James Pike by having him lead in prayer. In an article in Christian Century, Pike declared that he no longer believed the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. Refusing to obey Acts 20:27 and declare all the counsel of God, Billy Graham narrowed his message to a pathetically small element of truth and focused on the “positive.” He promoted all sorts of unscriptural things, including Pentecostalism, Christian rock music, and corrupt Bible versions, such as the Today’s English Version, which twists every major text dealing with Christ’s deity. By 1966, Graham said belief in the virgin birth is not an essential doctrine and claimed that it is possible that Adam was an “ape-man” (United Church Observer, July 1966). By 1988, Graham told U.S. News & World Report that theology no longer meant anything to him: “World travel and getting to know clergy of all denominations has helped mold me into an ecumenical being. We’re separated by theology and, in some instances, culture and race, but all that means nothing to me any more” (U.S. News & World Report, Dec. 19, 1988). (Extensive documentation of these things can be found in Billy Graham’s Sad Disobedience, available as a free eBook from www.wayoflife.org.)

THE DAY THAT BILLY GRAHAM WELCOMED PILGRIMS TO A MARY SHRINE (Friday Church News Notes, March 9, 2018,www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org866-295-4143) – New Evangelicalism, with its brash “repudiation of separatism,” exploded on the scene in the late 1940s and transformed the face of Christianity in my lifetime, and Billy Graham was its most prominent face. (See New Evangelicalism: Its History, Characteristics, and Fruit, which is available as a free eBook to read or download from www.wayoflife.org.) No one did more in this generation than Billy Graham to make the Roman Catholic Church acceptable to “evangelicals” and to build the one-world apostate church. The apex was when he stood outside of the shrine of the Black Madonna of Jasna Gora in Częstochowa, Poland, in 1979, with a Catholic bishop and greeted the pilgrims who were venerating Mary as the sinless Queen of Heaven and interceder for sinners. What could be more confusing than for a Baptist preacher to do such a thing rather than lift his voice against this cursed false gospel? A photo of the event was published in Graham’s own Decisi on magazine in February 1979, but the caption under the photo merely said, “Mr. Graham greets people outside a national shrine at the monastery in Częstochowa.” Graham was in Poland at the invitation of the late Pope John Paul II, who was a great Mary worshiper. The Black Madonna was one of his favorite pilgrimage sites. In his general audience of December 13, 1995, he called Mary “Mediatix” and “Co-Redemptress” and spoke of her “exceptional role in the work of redemption” (“Council’s Teaching on Mary Is Rich and Positive,” Dec. 13, 1995, L’Osservatore Romano, English edition). In his general audience of May 7, 1997, the Pope said, “Mary is the path that leads to Christ” (Vatican Information Service). How many Polish people have gone to an eternal hell because of Rome’s false gospel? Yet Graham did not have even any clear word of warning about this. He often praised the Pope but never exposed his false gospel. Graham preached in Rome’s churches and accepted Rome’s awards but did not condemn Rome’s great errors. Graham’s visit to Jasna Gora was a real event, but it was also a metaphor of how that Graham invited multitudes upon multitudes of people into the arms of Rome throughout the world, Rome with its false sacramental gospel and false sacramental christ and its false spirit. To bless false teachers is an exceedingly serious business. “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds” (2 John 1:9-11).BILLY GRAHAM’S ECUMENICAL GOSPEL A TWO-EDGED SWORD (Friday Church News Notes, March 9, 2018,www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org866-295-4143) – I grew up in a Southern Baptist home and some of my earliest memories are hearing Billy Graham preach on radio and television. He was upheld as a spiritual hero by everyone I knew. It has been said that Graham preached the gospel to more people than any person in church history, but his great ecumenical compromise (working with and supporting every type of church) was a two-edged sword that probably sent more people to hell than to heaven. Consider my wife’s conversion. When she was a teenager, she and her mother heard Graham preach on television when they were living in Alaska. That led them to attend church where they were eventually saved. But in a significant way, it was in spite of Graham that they were saved, because he taught people to go to “the church of your choice.” He did not carefully distinguish between churches. When my wife’s mother decided to go to church the following Sunday, she intended to go to a Methodist church which probably did not preach a clear gospel at that time and place. She was under the impression that “all churches are the same,” and Billy Graham had said nothing in his message or invitation to indicate that her thinking was wrong. The only reason she ended up in a Baptist church where a plain gospel was preached was because the Lord graciously intervened. It was winter, and she couldn’t get up the icy hill to the Methodist church, so she went to the Baptist church instead, not because of Billy Graham but in spite of him. This is why Billy Graham was called “Mr. Facing Two Ways.” His ecumenical gospel saved some and damned more. As we document extensively in the book Billy Graham’s Sad Disobedience (available as a free eBook fromwww.wayoflife.org), he turned multitudes of seekers over to Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and modernistic Protestant churches. Contrariwise, the apostle Paul did not merely preach “a positive gospel”; he preached the true gospel and also exposed false gospels. He said, “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:8). Strong language and godly language. Paul plainly identified the Galatian heretics as those who were cursed. Like His Master, Paul did not warn of error in vague generalities.BILLY GRAHAM AND CHRISTIAN ROCK (Friday Church News Notes, March 9, 2018www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org866-295-4143) – Billy Graham had a huge influence on the spread of Christian rock music. Before I was saved, I lived and breathed rock & roll music, and I know for a fact that there is nothing godly in rock music, and I am talking the music and not the lyrics or words. Secular rockers know and readily admit that their music is largely about sex, and such music can never be redeemed for the worship of a thrice holy God. “Christian rock” is confusion. It is apostasy. It is deception. It is wickedness. Following are just a couple of the many quotes we could give along this line: Gene Simmons of KISS said, “That’s what rock is all about–sex with a 100 megaton bomb, THE BEAT!” (Entertainment Tonight, ABC, Dec. 10, 1987). Jimi Hendrix said, “Perhaps [my music] is sexy … but what music with a BIG BEAT isn’t?” (David Henderson, ‘Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky: The Life of Jimi Hendrix. p. 117). Tina Turner said, “Rock and roll is fun, it’s full of energy … It’s naughty” (Rock Facts, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum). Luke Campbell of 2 Live Crew said, “The sex is definitely in the music, and sex is in ALL ASPECTS in the music.” Observe that these quotes refer to rock’s rhythm rather than to the lyrics. These rock & roll experts are saying that the sexuality is in the rock rhythm. Yet Billy Graham was so lacking in spiritual discernment and so controlled by pragmatism that he used rock to draw crowds of young people. When Graham died, he was applauded by Christian rockers of every stripe (“In Memory of Billy Graham,”www.classicchristianrockzine.com). I don’t know of even one Christian rocker who warned of Graham’s great compromise, because they are one spirit with him in one world church building. Christianity Today’sobituary documented Graham’s role in popularizing Christian rock as follows: “In the 1990s he reengineered the formula for his ‘crusades’ (later called ‘missions’ out of deference to Muslims and others offended by the connotation). His standard ‘youth night’ was revolutionized into a ‘Concert for the Next Generation,’ with Christian rock, rap, and hip-hop artists headlining the event, followed by Graham preaching. This format drew record numbers of young people who cheered the bands and then, amazingly, listened carefully to the octogenarian evangelist” (Marshall Shelley, “Evangelist Billy Graham Has Died: America’s Pastor Shaped Modern Evangelicalism,” Christianity Today, Feb. 2018). For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, this is a very loud warning about a deep level of spiritual compromise. A person’s view of Billy Graham tells a lot. He was Mr. Ecumenism, Mr. One World Church, and those who love him are part of that “church,” though most are ignorant of the fact. It is an issue of spiritual discernment or the lack thereof. An individual that has the spirit of Psalm 119:128 and Jude 3 cannot be a part of any type of ecumenism. Loving all of the truth and hating error and fighting for the faith once delivered to the saints is the very opposite of what Billy Graham stood for. Billy Graham talked about the truth, but he had no passion to fight for it. That is not biblical Christianity. Biblical prophets and preachers are warriors. “Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsconcerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way” (Psalm 119:128). “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhortyou that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3).

Chapter 5 from The Rise and Decline of Billy Graham: He Tried to do Right the Wrong Way

Don Boys, Ph.D.

I have climbed out on a limb in stating that Dr. Billy Graham made many major mistakes in his ministry that did great harm to the Christian cause. Moreover, he should be held up as an example lest others follow his compromise that always leads to corruption. He was never corrupt in his personal life for he was exemplary in his finances and his family; however, when one is careless with obeying the Scripture, it always leads to corruption in doctrine. While most people denigrate doctrine, which really is only truth, the Word must be preached, defended, and lived.

Graham swapped his commitment to truth for the bowl of porridge known as compromise that gave him an international bully pulpit. I think he failed and preached pabulum most of his illustrious life as the following facts clearly document.

I know many pastors and laymen who trusted Christ under Graham’s ministry; but that is not the criterion. Was he faithful in the work of the ministry? The answer is “no.” Graham showed some courage, especially in his younger days, when he removed the ropes that were to separate Blacks from Whites at his Chattanooga Crusade in 1953. But he believed that courage, convictions, and commitment to the Word were not as important as reaching the masses. He thought he had to give a little to get a lot. Surrendering Bible doctrine brought him much more than he expected.

He told the Lutheran Standard in a 1961 interview that water baptism can save a person! Dr. Graham said of infant baptism: “I do believe that something happens at the baptism of an infant …. I believe that a miracle can happen in these children so that they are regenerated, that is, made Christian through infant baptism.” That statement is not surprising since his own wife and three of his children were sprinkled, not baptized. However, surrendering on the subject of baptism brought him many new friends and supporters.

In an interview with McCall’s magazine, January 1978, entitled “I Can’t Play God Any More,” Graham said, “I used to believe that pagans in far-off countries were lost—were going to hell—if they did not have the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached to them. I no longer believe that. … I believe that there are other ways of recognizing the existence of God—through nature, for instance—and plenty of other opportunities, therefore, of saying ‘yes’ to God.” Graham’s defenders cannot plead his age or Parkinson’s disease. His statement is perversion of the Gospel and cannot be excused, defended, or ameliorated. His defenders need to ask themselves how they can still support him with that statement hanging around his neck. And would they support their local pastor if he said the same thing? I will ask all my critics to these columns those questions.
Christianity Today magazine came to Graham’s defense saying that he was misquoted; however later interviews substantiated the early remark and his staff was kept busy doing damage control and readjusting his halo so his followers would not be disenchanted, discouraged, and dissuaded from supporting his work.
I heard Graham say the following,  “He’s calling people out of the world for His name, whether they come from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world, or the non-believing world, they are members of the Body of Christ, because they’ve been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus, but they know in their hearts that they need something that they don’t have, and they turn to the only light that they have, and I think they are saved, and that they’re going to be with us in heaven.” (May 31, 1997 interview with Graham by Robert Schuller with emphasis added.)

But it gets worser and worser! Graham continued, “I’ve met people in various parts of the world in tribal situations, that they have never seen a Bible or heard about a Bible, and never heard of Jesus, but they’ve believed in their hearts that there was a God, and they’ve tried to live a life that was quite apart from the surrounding community in which they lived.”  He could not have made it any clearer: He believed in universalism and spouted it on television for the world to hear!

That statement is classic universalism that has been condemned by orthodox Christians for over 2,000 years. So, why does almost everyone dismiss Graham’s belief of it with the wave of the hand? That question must be answered by Graham’s supporters.

Graham’s major error was in changing his mind about whom he would work with in his city-wide crusades. He said, “I have promised God I will never have on my committee working in an active way in any of my campaigns men who do not believe in the virgin birth of Christ, who do not believe in the blood atonement of Jesus Christ, who do not believe in the verbal inspiration of the Bible–these men will never be on my committee. I have promised God.” But he reneged.

I could take pages and prove that he had the most radical unbelievers on his committees as well as many Roman Catholic priests, sending convert cards to all of his supporting churches. Graham was sending new professing Christians to the wolves contrary to his earlier commitment. On Nov. 11, 1957, Graham told the San Francisco News, “Anyone who makes a decision at our meeting is seen later and referred to a local clergyman–Protestant, Catholic or Jewish.” Gasp!

Graham is known as “Mr. Facing Two Ways” reminiscent of John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. One day he had glowing praise for Bob Jones University, John Rice of the Sword of the Lord, etc., and the next he was climbing into bed with the most radical modernists in America. This supports the fact that compromise will usually take one farther than he wanted to go.

CBS: “LIVING BIBLICALLY” NEW SITCOM SET TO MOCK CHRISTIANITY

 CBS Living Biblically Hollywood Satanic show | Antichristian TV shows and movies
CBS: “LIVING BIBLICALLY” NEW SITCOM 
SET TO MOCK CHRISTIANITY
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
There is nothing Biblical about this show.

It
seems with every new television season a show that mocks Jesus Christ
and the Christian faith gets a pilot. This season it is the CBS show
‘Living Biblically’ – a comedic take on the real life quest of a journalist
to live his life “according to the Bible” for one year. From the
preview scenes alone, it seems obvious that this show has no intention
of representing the Bible accurately or bringing any actual serious
discussion about the Christian faith. Instead it seeks cheap laughs and
gags all the while mocking The Lord God.
Here is the trailer:

And the official synopsis:

“Chip Curry is a modern
day man at a crossroads in his life, who decides to live strictly in
accordance with the Bible. A film critic for a New York Newspaper and a
soon-to-be father, Chip wants to be a better man following the loss of
his best friend. He decides to put his slightly obsessive temperament to
use and start living his life 100% by the Bible to find direction. His
smart, pregnant wife, Leslie, while both skeptical and entertained by
her husband’s new passion, supports him completely. Knowing he’ll need
some practical advice, Chip forms a “God Squad” with Father Gene, a
Catholic Priest who helps Chip translate the rules of the Bible to a
modern world; and Father Gene’s best friend, easygoing Rabbi Gil
Ableman, who respects Chip’s chutzpah and is glad to serve as a sounding
board when they meet at their local bar.
At Chip’s newspaper, he
finds support from his no-nonsense boss, Ms. Meadows, who knows Chip’s
self-penned story will sell newspapers, and his co-worker and friend,
Vince, who is quick with a reality check and likes to wind Chip up for
his own amusement. As he begins his sincere spiritual journey toward a
more moral life with the help of his wife and friends, Chip wonders if
he’ll be able to take a page – or every page – out of the Good Book, and
if the effect will be of Biblical proportions.” (source).

From
the preview clips alone, the show seems intent on turning the lead
character Chip into a walking, breathing negative Christian stereotype.
He is judgmental, hyper-critical and even violent, because “the Bible
says so.” This attempt to highlight the view of the Old Testament
revealing a God who is harsh, violent and lacking compassion is a common
argument for critics of the Christian faith.  Living Biblically
seeks to make this argument in a more subversive manner by having its
lead act out these negative traits all in the name of seeking to live a
righteous, holy “Biblical lifestyle.” When Chip seeks counsel from a
Roman Catholic priest and tells him of his plan, the priest laughs in
his face – clearly mocking the fact that anyone would take the Bible
literally.
“People need to start talking about religion again,” producer Patrick Walsh said.
“I don’t buy the idea that we live in a ‘godless society.’ Eighty-four
percent of the world aligns themselves with religion, and 9 out of 10
people believe in God, yet religion is never discussed because everyone
is too scared to offend. In talking about it, you can erase so many
misconceptions about it on either side.” (source).

GCB AD Blasphemy

ABC’s show ‘GCB’ also featured Christians in an effort to get a ‘good religious discussion’ started. (source).

The
result is repeated scenarios where the Word of God can be ridiculed and
mocked. The Bible is clear: God’s name is not to be taken in vain. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7). Beginning And End covered similar sitcoms like “GCB” (based on the novel Good Christian B—-) which was filled with negative Christian stereotypes and NBC’s ‘The New Normal, which devoted an entire episode to mocking Jesus Christ and the Bible.

The Danger – Mockery Can Lead To Hatred Of God

Hollywood Tv shows and movies mocking Christianity | Petition Boycott against CBS Living Biblically

Laughing at God can lead to disastrous consequences for ones soul.

“The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.  The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.” – Ecclesiastes 10:12-13.

In
addition to being a blatant sin, the mockery of God can move a person
deeper into resentment and hatred of The Lord. This type of attack was
carried out in a more scathing, direct way by MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell – who has made several rants attempting to rip the Christian faith for its hypocrisy and “evil.” Here is one example:

In our article  “MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Attacks The Bible – A Christian Response”
we noted that while critics love to point out the punishments in the
Old Testament, they conveniently ignore the numerous provisions to
provide atonement – or a “covering” of sins of the people. The main task
of the Levite priests in the temple was to ensure that they followed
the Bible to make sacrifices to atone for the sins of the nation and
individuals – allowing the punishment for the sin to be temporarily
placed on the sacrificial animal:
Those who try to paint
the God of The Old Testament as angry, harsh and violent, always seem to
neglect this. But God made it clear that forgiveness was readily
available to those who sin:


“For
the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon
the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that
maketh an atonement for the soul.” – Leviticus 17:11.

In
order for there to be forgiveness, blood had to shed. And God gave
specific instructions on the sacrifices of animals by the appointed
priests to make atonement for the sins of the people. Here is one
example:

And thou shalt cause a
bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and
Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.
And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. And thou shalt take of the blood of the
bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and
pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.

And
thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul
that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon
them, and burn them upon the altar. But the flesh of the bullock, and
his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it
is a sin offering. – Exodus 29:10-14.

The
shed blood of the bull was a substitute atonement. Yes, in order for
forgiveness, something had to die and blood was shed. This too may seem
harsh but sin is a messy, ugly business. And God being perfectly just,
must see that justice is served. But rather than putting His own
children to death, God provided a substitute sacrifice to atone and
“cover” the sins of the people.  

CBS Blasphemous TV Show | Year of living Biblically

The
show does not mention atonement or forgiveness through the Messiah –
but it is sure to show the religious men drinking up at the bar.

So how often were these sacrifices to be done? Every day: “Now
this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the
first year day by day continually. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the
morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at [evening]:”
 (Exodus 29:38-39).

There
were also sacrifices for the Sabbath day, the start of a new month and
for the feast days of the Jewish religion found in the Old Testament.
All these sacrifices providing covering for the numerous sins of the
people. All this was a demonstration of God’s mercy which He revealed
Himself, even in the days of that oh-so harsh Mosaic law. Here is God,
in that same Old Testament, describing Himself to humanity:

“The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression..” – Numbers 14:18.
Who
is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the
transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger
for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will
have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt
cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. – Micah 7:18-19.

God Proved His Mercy Through Jesus Christ

The ultimate proof of God’s love and mercy is Jesus Christ. By allowing His own Son to be sacrificed and take the punishment of all people
God put our souls above who He loved the most. This despite all of our
sin, mockery and hatred toward Him. As believers, it is critical that we
share the Gospel of free forgiveness of sin
through faith in Jesus Christ. Hollywood has gone out of its way to
distort, mock and argue against the Bible and the Christian faith. Stand
for truth and share it with a world that needs it so desperately.

SHERIFF ISRAEL CLAIMS HE PROVIDED “AMAZING LEADERSHIP”
 Sheriff Scott Israel’s deputy a leader of Hamas-linked CAIR-Report by John Cardillo

 Broward/Coward County Sheriff 

Attends Islamic Event
   Most American law enforcement agencies are engaged in protecting the
communities they preside over from Islamic extremists who are threats to
those communities.
    However, in the Broward County, Florida Sheriff’s
Office, under the leadership of Sheriff Scott Israel, Islamic extremists
are embraced. And not only are they embraced, but they are brought into
the Sheriff’s department, itself.

 
    Nezar Hamze (Nezar Jason Nazih Hamze) is the Regional Operations
Director of the Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR). Essentially, he is the number two leader of the
statewide chapter. Prior to that, he held the position of Executive
Director for the chapter. Today, Hamze is a gun-toting Deputy Sheriff in
the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO).

CAIR was established, in June 1994, as one of four groups under the
leadership of then-global head of Hamas, Mousa Abu Marzook, who had been
residing in the US for decades. Following the White House’s January
1995 designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization, Marzook was
arrested and placed in prison. Two years later, in May 1997, he was
deported to Jordan. Marzook is still a leader in Hamas.

Since CAIR’s founding, a number of representatives for the group have
been imprisoned in and/or deported from the U.S. for various reasons
related to terrorist activity. CAIR itself was named a co-conspirator by
the US government for two federal trials dealing with the financing of
Hamas. And the hierarchy of CAIR is still intact, as the national
office’s founding Executive Director, Nihad Awad, and founding
Communications Director, Ibrahim Hooper, still hold the same positions. https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2598…

  Sheriff Scott Israel: Leaders ARE NOT Responsible For Individual People

 DAN BONGINO, FORMER SECRET SERVICE AGENT, SPEAKS TRUTH TO SHERIFF ISRAEL

 SHERIFF ISRAEL SHOULD RESIGN: 
🛑 It isn’t that damning for a local sheriff to take a photo with a
visiting candidate, as Sheriff Israel did when candidate Hillary Clinton
came to town when she was running for president. However, a series of
similar photos soon emerged that show Scott Israel going out of his way
to mingle with pro-gun control, Democrat figures — and there doesn’t
appear to be any equivalent images of the sheriff with conservatives.
And have you noticed how the Broward Sheriff’s Office has been spewing
Democrat gun control talking points? Conservative firebrand Laura
Loomer discovered four photos, which show Sheriff Israel proudly posing
with Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and former DNC
chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whereas a general search for similar
photos of Sheriff Israel with conservative or pro-gun candidates
revealed no immediate results. 
 🛑 Also … there’s a common narrative mistakenly being pushed by
mainstream media, which is that Sheriff Israel didn’t “miss warning
signs” or make “mistakes” in not writing up reports. The truth is …
that his office did exactly what their internal policies, procedures and
official training required them to do:

✔️ THEY INTENTIONALLY IGNORED THE SIGNS
✔️ INTENTIONALLY DIDN’T GENERATE DOCUMENTS.

Example:
In the Miami Herald newspaper […] In November, a tipster called BSO to
say Cruz “could be a school shooter in the making” but deputies did not
write up a report on that warning. It came just weeks after a relative
called urging BSO to seize his weapons. Two years ago, according to a
newly released timeline of interactions with Cruz’s family, a deputy
investigated a report that Cruz “planned to shoot up the school” —
intelligence that was forwarded to the school’s resource officer, with
no apparent result. It is important to understand the policy here.
Broward County law enforcement (Sheriff Israel), in conjunction with
Broward County School Officials (Superintendent Runcie and School
Board), have a standing policy to ignore any criminal engagement with
High School students.

When the police are hiding current, actual and ongoing unlawful conduct
as a matter of standard procedure on a regular basis, what do we expect
the police would do with reports of potential unlawful conduct? Of
course they would ignore them.

This is not a “mistake” on their part; the ‘doing nothing’ is part of
Sheriff Israel and the Broward School District’s standard practice.

NIKOLAS CRUZ OR A SECOND SHOOTER?
School Teacher Saw Different Florida Shooter
 PARKLAND, Fla.— Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School teacher Stacy
Lippel said “I suddenly saw the shooter about twenty feet in front of me
standing at the end of the hallway actively shooting down the hallway,
just a barrage of bullets, and I’m staring at him thinking why are the
POLICE here, this is strange because he’s in FULL METAL GARB, HELMET,
FACE MASK, BULLETPROOF ARMOR SHOOTING THIS RIFLE I’VE NEVER SEEN
BEFORE.”
Parkland Teacher: Shooter Was Wearing Full Metal Body Armor, Helmet, Face Mask
 Survivor offers strange description of 
encounter with killer
BY  Dan Lyman & Jamie White
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

A teacher who was grazed by a bullet while saving students
during the school massacre in Parkland, Fla., offered a detailed
description of the shooter during an appearance on ‘Good Morning
America’ that adds confusion to the official narrative.

Stacey Lippel, a Language Arts and Creative Writing
teacher at Marjory Stoneman High School, came face to face with the
shooter on February 14th, as she ushered terrified students into her
classroom for shelter.
She chronicled her encounter during a sit-down interview on ‘Good Morning America.’

(Alternate video links in event of removal can be found here, here, and here)
“All of a sudden I heard gun shots in the stairwell, which is about
20 feet away from my room, and then kids were screaming and running back
towards me, towards the end of the hallway,” she explained. “So, I just
went in this very strange autopilot mode where I pivoted on my feet and
unlocked my door, and kids just started pouring in my room. I don’t
know how many kids were in there, but I was pulling them in and shouting
at them to get in the room.”

“Then I suddenly saw the shooter, about 20 feet from me, standing at
the end of the hallway, actively shooting down the hallway – just a
barrage of bullets. And I’m staring at him thinking, ‘Why is the police
here? This is strange.’ He was in full metal garb – helmet, face mask,
bulletproof armor, shooting this rifle that I’d never seen before.”

Lippel says she then pulled her door shut, but not before one of
the shooter’s rounds grazed her arm – a wound which she showed to the
camera.

She described warning fellow teacher Scott Beigel to also shut
his door, adding that Beigel “couldn’t see the shooter – I had a good
visual of him, which is why I yelled at him to shut his door.”

Strangely, there have been few if any reports that Nikolas Cruz
was decked out in full body armor, or that he resembled a member of law
enforcement.

An official timeline of events
maintains that Cruz arrived in an Uber at the high school, and less
than three minutes later, he had already embarked on a rampage inside
the school.



Cruz reportedly transported a rifle in a soft case, and carried extra magazines in a backpack.

A conflict arises between these details and Ms. Lippel’s account,
as the baggage necessary to carry a full outfit of body armor would
likely exceed that which has been reported, and even a well-trained
individual would require longer than 1-2 minutes to don a tactical
ensemble resembling the type Lippel describes, while on the move.

Cruz was apprehended by police in just his plain clothes, after reportedly abandoning his bag and rifle at the school.



Another eyewitness, student Alex Miednik, told local media she believes there was a second shooter, because she was talking to Nikolas Cruz as shots were being fired elsewhere in the school.

“I actually was speaking to the “suspect” [she even did air
quotes] and as I was speaking with him, he seemed very… I don’t know
what the word is I want to say…” she said. “But he was very troubled in
middle school and I joked to him about it and said ‘I’m surprised you
weren’t the one who did it.’”

As the narrative surrounding the horrific Parkland massacre
continues to unravel to the shock and horror of the nation, Ms. Lippel’s
tale only creates an added element of mystification.

 Parkland Deputy Refused To Confront Shooter
 Solutions are numerous yet complicated. Armed guards, armed teachers,
Airport style security. But even the deputy responding to the massacre
who should have been a hero failed miserably.

WPTV in West Palm Beach Florida reported “The Broward County Sheriff’s
deputy who was assigned to be the school resource officer at Stoneman
Douglas High School during last week’s massacre that left 17 dead
resigned this morning after being suspended without pay, Sheriff Scott
Israel announced on Thursday.
Israel said that Deputy Scott Peterson was outside of the building
during the time of the shooting. According to Israel, video evidence
suggested that Peterson remained outside for four minutes. The entire
mass shooting lasted an estimated six minutes, Israel said.” Jon Bowne
reports.

 Teacher Says Shooter Wore 
SWAT Team Equipment
 Yet ABC news interviewer asks no follow-up question and changes subject.
And concerned about the Broward County deputies who did NOTHING? The
Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that cops have NO DUTY TO PROTECT.
But were they told to stand down?

EXCERPT:  “By Friday night, Coral Springs police officers who had arrived on the
scene during the shooting were telling reporters that not just Peterson
but two or more other Broward County deputies
had remained outside, not even entering the building with the Coral
Springs officers. According to CNN, “The deputies had their pistols
drawn and were behind their vehicles, the sources said, and not one of
them had gone into the school.” Two Broward deputies who arrived later
did join the Coral Springs officers, the latter said.”

New Life Baptist Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico is led by pastor and former police officer Larry Allen and his wife Lillie.

The school is receiving attention following the Parkland, Florida shooting that has reignited the debate over school safety.

Every student from kindergarten through 12th grade undergoes active
shooter training and select upperclassmen, called Pastor’s Warriors, go
through tactical training.

Also, five of the school’s twenty teachers are armed, but nobody knows who carries and who doesn’t.

Pastor Allen says, “We try to tell our kids, okay if you’re gonna die you may as well die fighting.”

BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOLS & POLICE COLLUDED TO SHIELD CRIMINAL STUDENTS FROM ARREST SO THAT SCHOOLS COULD GET MORE STATE & FEDERAL GRANTS

BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOLS & POLICE COLLUDED TO SHIELD CRIMINAL STUDENTS FROM ARREST TO GET MORE GRANT MONIES
 “The
Broward County School Board and District Superintendent, entered into a
political agreement with Broward County Law enforcement officials to
stop arresting students for crimes.”

“The motive was simple. The school system administrators wanted to
‘improve their statistics’ and gain state and federal grant money for
improvements therein.””
 Clues about how Nikolas Cruz slipped through cracks are emerging
BY DAN LYMAN
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 Bombshell claims alleging collusion between Broward County law 
enforcement and the Broward school district to protect criminal students
 from arrests and disciplinary action have been leveled by a journalist 
familiar with the protocols in practice.
 According to information currently available, Parkland mass shooter 
Nikolas Cruz was visited by local law enforcement 39 times over the 
course of seven years and was also reported to the FBI at least twice, 
leaving many to wonder how he slipped through the cracks, evaded arrest,
 continued attending school, and legally purchased firearms that he 
would later use to kill 17 of his former classmates and teachers.


Some clues may have emerged from a report chronicled
by the editors of the Conservative Treehouse (CTH), an independent
blog, who have provided corroborating documentation that paint a very
convincing picture for the circumstances that may have enabled Cruz to
slip through the cracks.

“I spent about 18 months in 2012, 2013 and 2014 investigating Broward
and Miami-Dade school policies and how those policies transfer to law
enforcement practices,” CTH explains. “What I stumbled upon was a
Broward County law enforcement system in a state of conflict. The
Broward County School Board and District Superintendent, entered into a
political agreement with Broward County Law enforcement officials to
stop arresting students for crimes.”


“The motive was simple. The school system administrators wanted to
‘improve their statistics’ and gain state and federal grant money for
improvements therein.”

The 2013 “Collaborative Agreement On School Discipline” between the School
Board of Broward County and the Sheriff of Broward Country, as well as
the Fort Lauderdale Branch of the NAACP and a variety of other state and
local legal bodies, can be found HERE.

In short, the agreement established new standards and practices by
which law enforcement would seek alternatives to arresting students who
had committed crimes or “minor disturbances,” with a specific focus on “students of color, students with disabilities and LGBTQ students,” who were “disproportionately impacted by school-based arrests for the same behavior as their peers.”
CTH asserts that the types of lawbreaking being swept under the rug quickly escalated from minor offenses to serious felonies.
“The need to continue lowering the arrests year-over-year meant that
increasingly more severe unlawful behavior had to be ignored. Over time
even the most severe of unlawful conduct was being filtered by
responding police,” CTH writes. “We found out about it, when six cops
blew the whistle on severe criminal conduct they were being instructed
to hide.”
Media reports corroborate the external results of the new policies
implemented in Broward, and school district superintendent Robert
Runcie, who had been brought in from the Chicago public school system
to mitigate the massive issues in Broward, was hailed as a hero as
suspensions magically dropped by 40% percent and arrests by 66% in just
two years.
The American Prospect reported at the time
“Broward announced broad changes designed to mitigate the use of
harsh punishments for minor misbehavior at the beginning of this school
year. While other districts have amended their discipline codes,
prohibited arrests in some circumstances, and developed alternatives to
suspension, Broward was able to do all these things at once with the
cooperation of a group that included a member of the local NAACP, a
school board member, a public defender, a local sheriff, a state
prosecutor, and several others.”

In 2015, Runcie was invited to join an Obama White House school discipline summit to share his ‘secrets to success’ in lowering student arrests and suspensions.
In 2016, Runcie was awarded ‘Florida Superintendent of the Year.’
The Miami Herald alluded to the types of oversights and ‘missed’ signs that enabled Nikolas Cruz to glide through the system in a report on Wednesday.
“And long before Cruz embarked on the worst school shooting in
Florida history, Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies had multiple warnings
that the 19-year-old was a violent threat and a potential school
shooter, according to records released Thursday.”

“In November, a tipster called BSO to say Cruz ‘could be a school
shooter in the making,’ but deputies did not write up a report on that
warning. It came just weeks after a relative called urging BSO to seize
his weapons. Two years ago, according to a newly released timeline of
interactions with Cruz’s family, a deputy investigated a report that
Cruz ‘planned to shoot up the school’ — intelligence that was forwarded
to the school’s resource officer, with no apparent result.”

On Wednesday, Broward Sheriff Scott Israel revealed that an armed
Parkland school officer, Scot Peterson, arrived on the scene at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School as Cruz was in the process of killing 17
innocent victims, but never went inside the building to render aid.

video here). I was on various AFDI panels while we were still able to have them there, but I haven’t been back since Suhail Khan flew into a hysterical rage at CPAC 2012 when I challenged him to debate, except for an appearance on Breitbart’s “Uninvited” panel in 2013.

Not only has CPAC consistently dissembled about the nature and
magnitude of the jihad threat, but it has also shown a disturbing
tendency to dance to the tune of the Left.
Saul Alinsky’s 13th Rule for Radicals is “‘Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go
after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than
institutions.” The Left consistently does this; in the case of
counter-jihadis (including me), it presents our statements, however
correct and demonstrable, as egregious and individual to us — that’s
freezing and personalizing the target. Then Leftists move to “cut off
the support network and isolate the target from sympathy,” demanding
that others on the Right disavow and condemn, or at very least shun, the
target. And establishment conservatives have always willingly played
along, allowing their associations and allies to be dictated by their
enemies.

I’ve been the recipient of both the Alinsky treatment and the
shunning from caitiffs on the Right, including CPAC, for years, but I’ve
never seen a more nauseating example of CPAC’s cravenness, cowardliness
and dishonesty than what has played out with my colleague Pamela Geller
over the last ten days. Since last September, Geller has been trying to
get a room at CPAC for an AFDI event, even offering to pay sponsorship
fees, which are pricey, since sponsoring organizations are given a room
in which they can hold an event. CPAC stonewalled and ran out the clock.

Finally on February 14, she submitted a proposal for a panel discussion
entitled “Suppression of Conservative Views on Social Media: A First
Amendment Issue.” She added a list of proposed speakers, including James
Damore, Google whistleblower; Harmeet K. Dhillon, renowned free speech
attorney; Dan Gainor, Vice President for Business and Culture, Media
Research Center; Jim Hoft, Editor-in-Chief, Gateway Pundit; James
O’Keefe, Project Veritas; and Marlene Jaeckel, Tech Entrepreneur. I know
this because I consulted with Pamela Geller at the time about the focus
of this panel and who the speakers should be, before she submitted this
proposal to CPAC.

CPAC’s Dan Schneider and Matt Schlapp approved this panel, but would
not let it be an AFDI event. Schneider and Schlapp insisted that the
panel be sponsored by the American Principles Project (APP), which
neither Geller nor I had ever heard of.
Otherwise, however, they made no
changes — until shortly thereafter, when Hoft enraged the Leftist
establishment by noting what has been likewise observed by many people —
that the pro-gun control students speaking out in the wake of the
Florida school shooting appeared coached. As condemnations rained down
on Hoft from the likes of Chelsea Clinton and Paul Krugman, CPAC again
rushed to do the Left’s bidding. APP top dog Terry Schilling, a board
member of the American Conservative Union (ACU), which hosts CPAC,
demanded that Hoft be dropped from the panel. Geller refused to play
lapdog for the Left, and so Schilling and CPAC canceled the panel.

And then they stole it.

Today at CPAC there is a panel entitled “Suppression of Conservative
Views on Social Media: A First Amendment Issue” and featuring Damore,
Dhillon, Gainor, O’Keefe, and Jaeckel. Hmmm, where did they get the idea
for such an event? CPAC claims that it was all their idea. CPAC
officials issued CPAC staffers talking points
on various issues, so that they would march in lockstep in the media
(very conservative, that). One of these talking points stated: “CPAC
sponsor APP is hosting a panel discussion on conservative voices being
silenced on the internet. APP invited Pamela Geller to participate on
the panel. She initially accepted but she then made her participation
contingent on APP including another person who was obviously a poor
choice. Pamela is actively promoting a version of events that are
intentionally inaccurate designed to mislead and mischaracterize the
construction of this presentation. She is no longer a participant, her
claims that the panel is cancelled are false and the panel will move
forward as intended.”

This is, to put it politely, a pack of lies. APP did not originate
this panel. It did not invite Geller to participate. She did not make
her participation contingent on anyone else being included. She is not
promoting a false version of event; they are. In reality, Geller
originated the panel. APP was added on by CPAC. Hoft was on the panel
from the beginning, with CPAC’s agreement. When CPAC insisted that Hoft
be dropped because the Left was angry with him, Geller refused,
whereupon CPAC canceled the panel. I know all this because I have been
involved with this imbroglio at every step of the way.

I knew CPAC brass, including Dan Schneider, Matt Schlapp, and Terry
Schilling, were cowardly. I didn’t know they were a bunch of liars and
thieves. But they are: this panel is going on today, with Geller’s title
and Geller’s speakers. CPAC stole the whole thing.

CPAC’s attendance has been declining over the years. We can only hope
it will keep on zooming down, all the way to zero, or that CPAC will
soon get a complete overhaul in leadership, to bring in some people with
some integrity.

 

BRUTAL MS-13 GANG TARGETED BY TRUMP HAS SPREAD TO 22 STATES

BRUTAL MS-13 GANG TARGETED BY TRUMP 
HAS SPREAD TO 22 STATES 
BY WARREN MASS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
A February 2018 report from the Center for Immigration Studies
(CIS) — a non-profit research organization specializing in
immigration-related matters — reveals that the MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha)
transnational criminal gang has spread to 22 U.S. states. 


The report noted that 207 murders have been tied to MS-13 since 2012,
and there are over 500 cases nationwide of MS-13 members being charged
in major crimes. The states with the greatest number of such cases were
California, with 92; Maryland, with 85; New York, with 80; and Virginia,
with 63.

CIS researchers, after reviewing more than 500 cases of MS-13 gang
members arrested nationwide since 2012, concluded that the growth of the
gang’s influence represents an extremely serious threat to public
safety in communities where MS-13 has established itself. Furthermore,
concluded CIS, this growth is directly connected to the illegal arrival
and resettlement of more than 300,000 Central American youths and
families that has continued unabated for six years. Another factor named
by the immigration organization has been the de-prioritization of
immigration enforcement in the interior of the country that occurred
during the same time as the arrival of the young illegal aliens.

Jessica Vaughan, the director of policy studies at CIS, noted that
the Trump administration has declared war on MS-13, reprising a similar
initiative launched by the Bush administration in 2005 that stifled the
gang’s activity after several years. However, noted the report, the gang
has been able to rebuild itself since 2012, which was the year that
Barack Obama was re-elected to the presidency.

The report said that the growing number of so-called sanctuary cities
has hampered efforts to apprehend MS-13 members, stating, “The
proliferation of sanctuary policies that interfere with cooperation
between state and local law enforcement agencies threatens to hamper
efforts to stifle MS-13 activity. The federal government must take steps
to clarify how federal law permits such cooperation and also must set
up consequences for those jurisdictions and officials who impose
sanctuary policies.”

Regarding Vaughan’s observation that the Trump administration has
declared war on MS-13, that fact was made evident to millions of viewers
who watched the presidential State of the Union address on January 30.
The president invited the parents of two girls who were brutally
murdered while walking in their neighborhood by six members of MS-13.

“These two precious girls were brutally murdered while walking
together in their hometown. Six members of the savage gang MS-13 have
been charged with Kayla and Nisa’s murders. Many of these gang members
took advantage of glaring loopholes in our laws to enter the country as
unaccompanied alien minors and wound up in Kayla and Nisa’s high
school,” Trump said during his address.

“Everyone in America is grieving for you,” the president continued.
“And 320 million hearts are breaking for you. We cannot imagine the
depth of your sorrow, but we can make sure that other families never
have to endure this pain.”

CBS News provided details of the brutal murder in a January 30 report:

On September 13 [2016], the day before
her 16th birthday, Nisa Mickens’ brutally beaten body was found on a
tree-lined street. The next day, the beaten body of her lifelong friend,
16-year-old Kayla Cuevas, was discovered in the wooded backyard of a
nearby home. In March, the United States Attorney for the Eastern
District of New York announced 13 defendants were charged with seven
murders, including the deaths of Nisa and Kayla. 

Those charged with the murder of the two girls were identified as members of MS-13.

CBS News noted that MS-13 is headquartered in El Salvador, according
to the FBI. In 2012, the brutal gang was designated a transnational
criminal organization by the Treasury Department, which said the gang is
involved in “serious transnational criminal activities, including drug
trafficking, kidnapping, human smuggling, sex trafficking, murder,
assassinations, racketeering, blackmail, extortion, and immigration
offenses.”

The State of the Union address was not the first time that Trump has
publicly declared war on MS-13. Last July, CNN reported that the
president traveled to Long Island to deliver a speech in front of
law-enforcement officers at Suffolk County Community College. Long
Island has been plagued with large numbers of MS-13 gang members in
recent years.

“Together we’re going to restore safety to our streets and peace to
our communities and we’re going to destroy the vile, criminal cartel
MS-13 and many other gangs,” Trump told his audience.

“We’ve gotten a lot of them out of here,” Trump said, “But the rest are coming. They’ll be out of here quickly, right? Quickly.”

The CNN report noted that there were roughly 24,000 MS-13 members in
Central America in 2012, according to an analysis by the UN Office on
Drugs and Crime. As of last July, the Justice Department estimated
roughly 30,000 members worldwide and more than 10,000 in the United
States, a number that has held steady for some years but that the DOJ
believes is trending upward.

MS-13’s infiltration of the United States, hidden among
“unaccompanied immigrant children,” was reported as far back as 2014. We
reported back in July of that year that an internal summary of Border
Patrol operations at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Nogales
(Arizona) Placement Center stated that 16 unaccompanied immigrant
children being held at the facility were members of MS-13.

We noted at the time that the then-current report from Border Patrol
officials confirmed what had been known for some time. On June 12, 2014
then-Arizona Governor Jan Brewer sent a letter to then-House Speaker
John Boehner (R-Ohio) and then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
(D-Nev.), in which she expressed serious concerns about the gang
presence among the illegal immigrants from Central America crossing our
borders. Her letter stated:

By the Obama administration’s own
estimation, 230,000 unaccompanied alien minors are expected to cross
through the Rio Grande Sector by the end of next year…. If Border
Patrol is overwhelmed, what consideration is being given — and what is
being done — to determine if any of these illegal aliens have criminal
histories or gang affiliations? For example, we know that MS-13, one of
the world’s most notorious international gangs, has strong ties to
several of the Central American countries from which these aliens are
arriving. The administration’s refusal to properly verify that violent
criminals are not among those entering the United States shows an
alarming lack of concern for our homeland’s security. As a nation, we
cannot sit back and allow this policy to continue.

While it is encouraging that Trump is taking the problem of MS-13
more seriously than did his predecessor, the job of reining in and
stopping this violent criminal gang is much more difficult now that they
have had several years to spread across our nation and become more
firmly entrenched.

COLUMBINE SURVIVOR INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO PUSH FOR MORE GUNS, NOT LESS

COLUMBINE SURVIVOR INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO PUSH FOR MORE GUNS, 
NOT LESS
BY RAVEN CLABOUGH
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
The Left has been using the victims and families of the Parkland,
Florida, shooting to advocate for more gun control, and in some extreme
cases, to call for an all-out repeal of the Second Amendment. But not
all survivors of mass shootings agree that gun control is the
appropriate response to school shootings. Colorado House Minority Leader
Patrick Neville, a former student of Columbine High School during the
1999 mass shooting, has once again introduced legislation to remove
limitations on concealed carry in K-12 schools.

According to the Washington Times, Neville has introduced
the bill annually since he was elected in 2014, asserting that the
current law “creates a so-called gun free zone in every K-12 public
school,” making students and teachers easy targets.


“This act would allow every law-abiding citizen who holds a concealed
carry permit, issued from their chief law-enforcement officer, the
right to carry concealed in order to defend themselves and most
importantly our children from the worst-case scenarios,” Neville said in
a statement.

Neville’s response to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass
shooting is far different from the typical knee-jerk reaction seen among
the Left and the mainstream media following mass shootings.

“As a former Columbine student who was a sophomore during the
shootings on April 20, 1999, I will do everything in my power to prevent
Colorado families from enduring the hardships my classmates and I faced
that day,” Neville said. “Time and time again we point to the one
common theme with mass shootings: they occur in gun-free zones.”

Neville understands that more guns in the hands of law-abiding
citizens will go a long way in helping to stop would-be mass shooters.
Conservative pundit Ann Coulter observes,
“Thanks to our Second Amendment, the United States has fewer mass
shootings per capita than many other developed countries, including
Norway, France, Switzerland, Finland, Belgium and the Czech Republic.
(And 98 percent of our mass shootings occur in ‘gun-free zones.’)”

But these facts do not fit in with the Left’s narrative about gun
safety and rights. Conservative pundit Ben Shapiro notes that the Left
often resorts to victim identity politics to advance legislation that
would otherwise be unpopular. It has become a regular activity of the
Left to trot out victims of gun violence to make emotional but overly
simplistic pleas about gun control. Nearly all major media outlets seem
to have featured commentary from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
students. Some of the school’s shooting survivors are feeding right into
the Left’s ploys by leading a March for Our Lives rally in Washington,
D.C., on March 24.

The problem, of course, is that while these students are certainly
sympathetic speakers, their impassioned pleas are full of emotion and
devoid of fact. For example, one student, Emma Gonzalez, gave a gun
control speech last
week that was highlighted by CNN in which she argued that it was
“harder to make plans with friends on weekends than to buy an automatic
or semi-automatic weapon,” a statement that is simply untrue.

What’s worse is that these survivors are being manipulated by the
mainstream media and the Left and likely do not even realize it, and any
students who refuse to stick to the Left’s anti-gun narrative are left
behind.

According to Colton Haab, an ROTC student at Stoneman Douglas High
School who helped usher students to safety, Wednesday’s CNN town hall
event on the school shooting entitled “Stand Up: The Students of
Stoneman Douglas Demand Action” was scripted. Haab says he was censored from asking questions other than the ones that were provided by the station.

“CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted,” Haab told WPLG-TV.

Haab explained that he wrote questions that addressed school safety
and wanted to suggest using veterans to help protect schools, but that
was unacceptable to the network.

It was clear that the town hall was overwhelmingly stacked with anti-gun zealots. Two students hand-picked by CNN openly attacked National Rifle Association spokesperson Dana Loesch as a bad mother while moderator Jake Tapper sat in silence.

Using emotional victims to push policy never paves the way for constructive policy debate. Shapiro expounds on this for the Daily Wire:

Good policy is good regardless of timing;
bad policy is bad regardless of timing. But when something horrific
occurs, it’s in the interest of those pushing a related policy to
suggest that those who oppose the policy somehow don’t care enough about
victims. We heard this from gun control advocates after Sandy Hook,
after Pulse, after Virginia Tech, after Columbine — after every mass
shooting. Passion doesn’t make policy good or worthwhile. And injecting
emotional accusations into the process never makes policy — or the
country — better. Usually such accusations merely end with more
heavyhanded government policy that doesn’t actually achieve the end for
which it supposedly aims.

For the same reasons the American Medical Association’s Code of
Medical Ethics states that physicians should not treat themselves or
members of their immediate families in fear that emotions will cloud
their judgment, victims should not be treated as unbiased resources for
policy proposals immediately following the events in which they were
victimized.

INDIANA: PARENTS NO LONGER NEED TO BE NOTIFIED ABOUT RADICAL SEX EDUCATION CURRICULUM

INDIANA: PARENTS NO LONGER NEED TO BE NOTIFIED ABOUT RADICAL SEX EDUCATION CURRICULUM 
 Lawmakers in Indiana betrayed parents, Christians, and constituents this
week by gutting parental consent requirements before children in
government schools can be exposed to homosexuality, gender confusion,
sex education, and other controversial matters related to “sexuality.”
Parents will not be allowed to even see the materials being used to
sexualize their children. The move sparked an outcry that continues to
grow, though, so the battle is far from over.

The legislation in question, known as Senate Bill 65, originally would
have required that government schools obtain permission from parents
before exposing children to the LGBT agenda and “sexuality.” However,
the Indiana House Education Committee amended the Senate bill this week,
passing the gutted version 8 to 5. Among other schemes, the lawmakers
removed the parental consent requirement, as well as the requirement
that sexuality materials be made available to parents.

 

GERMANY: MASS PROTESTS SPREADING AGAINST MERKEL & MUSLIM MIGRATION

GERMANY: MASS PROTESTS SPREADING AGAINST MERKEL & MUSLIM MIGRATION 
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

We can only hope it is not too little and too late:

Germans are not planning to stop protesting against
Angela Merkel and her migration policy. Several demonstrations have
already taken place and the next one will be on 24 February…..Most
protesters are concerned about how Germany is changing under Merkel and
about migrant violence against women and girls.

Yet these protests do come years too late. Then there was the sheer
irrationality of Merkel’s election win last spring. But freedom-loving
Germans can only hope that the old phrase better late than never will prove true in this case.


Cottbus, one of the cities where protests took place, recently imposed a
temporary ban on taking in new migrants, in hopes of stopping the
violent incidents that the city has experienced due to the Muslim
migrant influx.


It’s reasonable to think the protests will continue and
spread further across the country as migrant crime is still a hot issue
for many Germans.


“Mass protests against Merkel and immigration are spreading through Germany”, Voice of Europe, February 21, 2018:

Germans are not planning to stop protesting against
Angela Merkel and her migration policy. Several demonstrations have
already taken place and the next one will be on 24 February.
Most of Germany’s protests started after the shocking murder of the
15-year-old Mia, by an Afghan refugee. The girl was attacked and
murdered with a knife in a drug store in the town of Kandel.
A few courageous women started protesting in the city after it
appeared the mayor was more concerned about xenophobia than about the
safety of the citizens. The protest went bigger and later resulted in a
march for Mia under the motto: “Kandel is everywhere”.
Later there were protests in Cottbus, Hamburg, Dresden and Kandel
again. Most protesters are concerned about how Germany is changing under
Merkel and about migrant violence against women and girls.
Last weekend a “Women’s March” was organised in Germany’s capital and
thousands of women (and men) attended. While Antifa called the women
Nazis and disrupted parts of their route, their action can be considered
a success.
A new protest has now been planned on Saturday, February 24th in the
eastern German town of Cottbus. It’s reasonable to think the protests
will continue and spread further across the country as migrant crime is
still a hot issue…..

JUSTICE THOMAS: SUPREME COURT DOES NOT GIVE SECOND AMENDMENT DUE RESPECT

 https://c1.legalinsurrection.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Justice-Clarence-Thomas-e1475943909823-620x419.png
JUSTICE THOMAS: SUPREME COURT DOES NOT GIVE SECOND AMENDMENT DUE RESPECT
BY STEVE BYAS
 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

On Tuesday, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (shown) wrote a scathing dissent to the High Court’s decision to not even take up a case concerning a law passed in California: a law in which gun buyers — even those who already own guns — must undergo a waiting period of 10 days before they can take possession of any firearms that they have already purchased.
Not surprisingly, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, widely regarded as the country’s most liberal federal appellate court, upheld the California law, reversing the federal court decision that had struck it down. Instead of hearing the case on appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to grant the necessary writ of certiorari.
Thomas wrote that this refusal to hear a case involving a constitutionally protected right under the Second Amendment “is symptomatic of the lower courts’ general failure to afford the Second Amendment the respect due an enumerated constitutional right. If a lower court treated other rights so cavalierly, I have little doubt that this Court would intervene. But as evidenced by our continued inaction in this area, the Second Amendment is a disfavored right in this Court.” (Emphasis added.)

Offering as an example of the disrespect the court affords the Second Amendment, Justice Thomas asserted that were a state to place a 10-day waiting period on a woman’s “right” to an abortion, a majority of his colleagues would step in with a review. In another example of the relative disdain in which the Ninth Circuit holds the right to keep and bear arms, its members even struck down a waiting period for nude-dancing lessons. It was the Ninth Circuit that first struck down traditional marriage laws. Yet, when it comes to the Second Amendment, “The right to keep and bear arms is apparently this Court’s constitutional orphan.”
California’s reasoning in passing the waiting period law is that potential buyers might decide against owning a gun. Can one imagine if a state placed a 10-day waiting period before a woman could have an abortion, under the reasoning that the woman might decided not to abort her baby?
California’s waiting period is the second longest of any state. Only eight other states and the federal District of Columbia even have any waiting period.
Two California residents, Brandon Combs and Jeff Silvester, challenged the application of the law. They both were already legal gun owners, arguing that the waiting period is unconstitutional when applied to “subsequent purchasers” (who already own a firearm and are already in the California database, have a valid concealed-carry license, and who clear a background in less than the 10 days of the waiting period). They were aided in their case by the Second Amendment Foundation and the Calguns Foundation.
But the Ninth Circuit argued that the waiting period was reasonable because a person who already owns at least one firearm “may want to purchase a larger capacity weapon that will do more damage when fired into a crowd.” Thomas directly challenged this reasoning, saying that the Supreme Court had ruled in the case District of Columbia v. Heller in 2008, “Because the right to keep and bear arms is enumerated in the Constitution, courts cannot subject laws that burden it to a mere rational-basis review. But the decision [of the Ninth Circuit] did just that. Purporting to apply intermediate scrutiny, the Court of Appeals upheld California’s 10-day waiting period for firearms based solely on its own ‘common sense.’”
Thomas added, “It did so without requiring California to submit relevant evidence, without addressing petitioners’ arguments to the contrary, and without acknowledging the District Court’s factual findings. This deferential analysis was indistinguishable from rational-basis review.”
The District Court had found that individuals who already meet the requirements for a concealed-carry license are uniquely “unlikely” to “engage in impulsive acts of violence,” Thomas noted. The District Court also contradicted the reasoning of the California Legislature that “a waiting period could still work for subsequent purchasers in some circumstances,” Thomas said, calling such reasoning just speculation.
“California did not prove that waiting periods deter subsequent purchasers who want to buy a larger capacity gun. California’s expert identified only one anecdotal example of a subsequent purchaser who had committed an act of gun violence, and the expert conceded that a waiting period would not have deterred that individual,” Thomas continued in his strong dissent to the refusal to grant cert.
Thomas further argued that instead of utilizing such speculative reasoning to infringe upon the Second Amendment right of individuals to keep and bear arms, “[the courts should instead] ask whether the challenged law complies with the text, history, and tradition of the Second Amendment.”
Sadly, whenever the Second Amendment is discussed, this seems to be the last consideration, not only in the courts, but in the popular culture, the media, among political candidates and office holders, and in legislative bodies. Instead, such irrelevant remarks such as whether one needs a certain type of gun to hunt deer or go sport shooting is a common anti-Second Amendment talking point. Even self-protection, as important as that is, was not the primary reason that James Madison placed the Second Amendment in his proposed Bill of Rights.
The primary purpose for the Second Amendment is as a last line of defense against a tyrannical government. As the “father of our country,” George Washington said, “A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them,  which includes their own government.” (Emphasis added.) Of course, any politician making such a remark today would be dismissed as a right-wing “extremist.”
But, as Justice Thomas so aptly said in his blistering dissent, “The Ninth Circuit’s reasoning was the opposite of common sense. Common sense suggests that subsequent purchasers contemplating violence or self-harm would use the gun they already own, instead of taking all the steps to legally buy a new one in California.”
Apparently, such common sense is also lacking in a majority of the present membership of the U.S. Supreme Court.

SELECT SCHOOL SHOOTING SURVIVORS ARE THE NEW “FRONT” OF THE LUNATIC MOB THAT WANTS TO OVERTHROW YOUR COUNTRY & TRAMPLE YOUR FREEDOMS

 
SELECT SCHOOL SHOOTING SURVIVORS ARE THE NEW “FRONT” OF THE LUNATIC MOB THAT WANTS TO OVERTHROW YOUR COUNTRY & TRAMPLE YOUR FREEDOMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

(Natural News) The latest tactic of the “mob rule” Left is to puppeteer high school students, parading them in front of cameras as “experts” on gun control and the Second Amendment, all while rehearsing scripted talking points with them to make sure they stay on point.

The puppeteers, of course, are all the same anti-America, anti-Trump, anti-Constitution left-wing radicals who promote communism, open borders and mass abortions. These are people who believe the only thing wrong with the murder of high school students in Florida is that they weren’t young enough. Had those same children been murdered during a partial child birth, such acts of violence would be widely celebrated by the murderous abortion industry as “women’s rights.” (Many Leftists even believe in “post-birth abortion,” which means they think parents should have the right to kill their babies up to five years after they are born.)

CNN wants you to believe that 17-year-olds are experts in the U.S. Constitution and the history of the Republic

Through nauseatingly endless programming propaganda, CNN has now elevated inexperienced, largely uninformed children to the level of “policy wonks” in their emotionally-charged coverage of the Parkland, Florida shooting. All intelligent adults should remember that high school children simply don’t have the life experience to be informed or knowledgeable on complex policy issues such as gun control, school safety or mental health.

In fact, this programming and exploitation of such children for the purpose of pushing an anti-liberty narrative in order to appease globalist forces that despise America should be called exactly what it is: Mental child abuse. What CNN and radical left-wing anti-gun forces are doing to these children is nothing less than a kind of “mental rape” of children who were already traumatized once by the shooting. Now, they are brainwashed, manipulated and exploited by the fake news media to serve as human puppets for the Left’s sick agenda of punishing law-abiding gun owners for the actions of a lone, deranged sociopath.

Note that CNN gives no airtime whatsoever to pro-Trump students, so don’t buy the line that they’re just “giving students a voice.” In truth, they’re only granting a voice to certain brainwashed students who are obedient to the rehearsed sentences and phrases they’ve been spoon-fed by anti-gun activists.

The “emotional blackmail” of the Left is a catch-22 tactic to silence debate

The one child puppet who has been elevated the most by the fake news media is David Hogg, a survivor of the shooting who has obviously been manipulated and coached by the radical anti-gun Left to regurgitate theatrical lines in front of CNN’s cameras. David Hogg turns out to be the son of an FBI agent, and he has now declared that all members of the NRA are “murderers.”

Yes, this is the logic of the lunatic Left, parroted through the ignorant voice of a child who hasn’t even graduated from high school yet. If all NRA members are murderers, then he must also believe that all people who have penises are rapists… which would include himself, of course.

But if you dare point out the foolishness of such an absurd claim coming from the mouth of an ignorant child, you are of course labeled a “child hater” yourself. And as Fox News’ Tucker Carlson rightly points out, this tactic from the Left is “emotional blackmail” designed to silence all voices that don’t immediately agree with every emotional demand of high school students who survived a horrible tragedy.

Surviving a mass shooting does not instantly qualify you as a policy expert

The deranged, lunatic left-wing mob doesn’t want anyone to dare say the following truth: Surviving a shooting does not magically transform you into an expert on the U.S. Constitution (or U.S. policy). While we all share the horror from any mass shooting — and we are thrilled for the survival of all those who escaped the violence — we would be incredibly foolish to believe that surviving flying bullets makes a 17-year-old teenager instantly qualified as an expert on policy debates. Yet this is precisely what CNN (and other left-wing fake news organizations) want us to believe, based entirely on “emotional blackmail” rather than logic or reason.

“It is insane and beyond negative definition what the left is doing by dragging high school students into a public spotlight, sticking a microphone in their face, and working them through the perfect political talking points that work toward their goal of removing the Second Amendment entirely,” explains Lucian Wintrich of The Gateway Pundit. “These faux-indignant media vultures and their radical, far-left activist comrades are playing the puppet-masters for these children. The left is propping kids up as political pawns so that the right can be cast as demons for disagreeing or even critiquing their hyper-political and radical misconceptions about gun safety.”

Notably, CNN gives no air time whatsoever to the parents of children murdered by illegals. These violent crimes don’t promote the radical anti-American narratives of the left-wing media, so such stories are entirely blackballed by the networks. When murders are carried out by Muslims or illegals, the entire left-wing media demands, “Don’t jump to conclusions!” But when murders take place in a format that might be exploited by the fake news media to push their anti-America agenda, they immediately jump to conclusionsand begin parading their human puppets in front of the cameras without hesitation.

The non-logic of emotionally traumatized, inexperienced children is now what passes for “news” at CNN

The fake news left-wing media is shameless, of course, in its exploitation of traumatized children to push an engineered narrative that actively seeks to deprive law-abiding Americans of their constitutional rights. This “puppet master” theater, let’s be honest, has an end game of banning the Second Amendment, confiscating all firearms from millions of law-abiding Americans, and turning this country into a totalitarian police state run by a left-wing regime.

Under that tyrannical regime, no conservative speech will be allowed at all. Once the Second Amendment is decimated, the elimination of the First Amendment won’t be far behind. In fact, it has already begun with the Google / Facebook / Twitter / YouTube effort to silence nearly all pro-Trump, pro-gun or pro-America voices. Censorship is already a pillar of the Left’s war on reality, and Leftists quite literally believe that people whose ideas disagree with left-wing narratives have no legitimate standing in society.

Who’s behind all this? As The Gateway Pundit explains:

Behind the teenagers, working as the string-pullers, are the same people behind the Women’s March. They are vehemently anti-gun, anti-American, and anti-Trump – this is part of their sales pitch.

On March 14th, 2018, the largest of these groups, #Enough National School Walkout, is planning a 17-minute walk out and moment of silence scheduled for 10 AM across all time zones. Backing them are the folks behind Rock the Vote, Teen Vogue, Peace First, Rise To Run, The Gathering for Justice, and Justice League NYC.

The major force behind this walkout event is the radical far-left organization Women’s March Youth Empower. The leaders of this group are Ziad Ahmed, the youth advisor, Hannah Rosenzweig, Adam Jacobs, and Jackson Hyland Lipski. They are explicitly political in their messaging and aggressive in their stance.

Teenagers are the new “front” of the lunatic mob that wants to overthrow your country and trample your freedoms

As this elaborate theater unfolds across the stage of the fake news media, keep your wits about you. We are all being subjected to an elaborate, engineered “psyop” campaign (psychological operations) with an insidious end goal: The complete destruction of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the democratic outcome of the 2016 election.

You are being told that inexperienced teenagers can solve all our problems… if we would only listen to them with our hearts! Indeed, if we only agreed to be completely disarmed by a corrupt, totalitarian government, we would all be “saved” by liberalism… just like Venezuela, North Korea, communist China or the former Soviet Union, I suppose.

Sadly, no one has yet told these teenagers like David Hogg that he is being used in exactly the same way the Nazis used the “Hitler Youth” to promote statist propaganda in conjunction with state-run media. David Hogg, sadly, is too young and uninformed to realize he’s being exploited by nefarious, anti-liberty forces that ultimately “eat their own” once they achieve their goal of a violent mass murder revolution. It is the Hoggs of history who have ended up discarded as “useless puppets” after they’ve served their purpose for the regime.

Today, David Hogg thinks he’s a TV star. Someone needs to tell him he’s actually walking in the footsteps of Joseph Goebbels. (He probably has no idea, however, who Joseph Goebbels was, which is precisely why we shouldn’t listen to him in the first place.)

My message to these inexperienced children like David Hogg? “Not being shot” does not give you some sort of magical moral authority from which you and the rest of your left-wing mob can violate the constitutional rights of 300+ million law-abiding Americans. If you really want to contribute to a better society, stop allowing yourself to be exploited by a communist-leaning anti-American media that, quite frankly, practically celebrates every mass shooting as yet more fodder for their disgusting anti-liberty narratives and Democrat fundraising.

AFTAH: IS CPAC CONSERVATIVE WHEN IT BANS ANTI GAY AGENDA EXHIBITORS, WHILE WELCOMING LGBTQ ACTIVISTS?

AFTAH: IS CPAC CONSERVATIVE WHEN IT BANS ANTI GAY AGENDA EXHIBITORS, 
WHILE WELCOMING LGBTQ ACTIVISTS?

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 To understand why it is wrong for the GOP and conservatives to honor the Log Cabin Republicans and their “gay”/transgender agenda, see this AFTAH video:

Note from Peter LaBarbera:

Dear AFTAH Readers, 

WASHINGTON. D.C.–Anyone who know me knows that I’m a Cause guy, and a Truth guy.  And the “cause” which I humbly believe I am called to defend is His Truth about the sin of homosexuality and the insidious, “out-and-proud” LGBTQ movement that demands celebration of it.  It would be an understatement to say that this has not been good for my career (!).  Now I am deeply saddened to report that American “conservatism” is going pro-homosexual at the expense of truth and wholesome morality.  (Christianity is next….)

Essentially, what is happening here at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) is that libertarians (or liberal-tarians, as my friend Ryan Sorba calls them) are attempting to re-define conservatism to be accepting of homosexuality, including so-called “gay marriage.”  They want to turn the Republican Party into a version of the pro-homosexual-“marriage” Conservative party in the U.K.  And they are moving RAPIDLY towards that goal.

As you can see from the AFTAH press release reprinted below, both AFTAH and MassResistance have been prevented from having a simple Exhibitor’s table at CPAC.  Just a few years ago, CPAC faced criticism for inviting “gay” sponsors and speakers; now they are banning solid pro-family conservatives who dare confront Big LGBTQ.

As the pressure builds to downplay or ignore the “gay” issue, millions of conservatives like you and me who have usually voted Republican now face a choice: are we going to side publicly with God or cave in to morally-bankrupt libertarianism?  Will YOU keep standing for the Truth about biblical sexual morality, or find a way to cop out of this critical battle?  Will you fight for the soul of the GOP?

Here at CPAC, the beautiful Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center is teaming with young conservatives.  I’m suddenly feeling old as I see myself 30 or so years ago in their vitality and idealism.  But the great crisis today–something about which I fear most of these young people are ignorant–is that their precious idealism has been corrupted by a capitulation to a worldly LGBTQ revolution, which is the most extreme part of the larger, destructive Sexual Revolution.  An LGBTQueer Revolution that says “gender” doesn’t matter, nor does it matter if a young man dates a woman or another man!  (“Love is love,” goes the inane slogan.)

Of course it matters.  It matters to God, who does not give a pass to Republican immorality just because it has an “R” attached to it.  It matters to His Son, Jesus Christ–who has turned around the lives of many men and women who, in their sin and deep confusion, thought it was their destiny to be “gay.”  [See the wonderful and compelling AFTAH banquet videos featuring EX-“gay” Stephen Black.]

Truth always matters.  So shame on CPAC for what it has done to my good friend, Brian Camenker, president of MassResistance, who is a genuine hero for his many years of fighting, with indomitable fortitude and without compromise, against all efforts to mainstream perversion.  If there were any justice in the “conservative’ movement, Brian would be giving a seminar today at CPAC on the lessons he has learned fighting the nefarious Sin Movement that calls itself “gay” (and now “trans”).  But instead of being honored, and passing on his wisdom to a new generation who needs it, he gets smeared by CPAC.

The reality is that even in Trump’s America, telling the truth about homosexualism and that “dirtiest” word of all–the M-word (Morality)–often earns you contempt, or derision, or hostile and puzzled responses even from family members and loved ones.  Nevertheless, before God, and with Him as our main and enduring Ally, we must persist and never apologize for defending God’s gift of sexuality in the HEALTHY bounds of marriage between a man and a woman:  

[Jesus] answered, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female?” (Matthew 19:4 ESV)

In the end, it’s God’s Truth, not ours, so it’s not man’s to redefine.

In the scheme of things, the sad story that I’m witnessing firsthand today of CPAC’s downward moral trajectory is the story of fallen man: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” (Proverbs 14:12 ESV)

Thank the Lord that we can rise above the culture and its politically correct lies by trusting in God and His Inerrant Word, the Bible.  May He bless you richly as you stay strong in the fight! 

Sincerely in Christ,

AFTAH: Is CPAC Conservative When It Bans Anti-Gay-Agenda Exhibitors While Welcoming LGBTQ Activists?

OR Read it on Christian Newswire: http://christiannewswire.com/news/4155480790.html

Pro-Family Hero Silenced by CPAC: Brian Camenker (left, shown with Gov. Mike Huckabee in 2010) is the leading grassroots fighter against the LGBTQ lobby in the world. Yet his mostly single-issue group, MassResistance, was officially disinvited as an Exhibitor Sponsor by CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference. Americans For Truth (AFTAH) then paid the $2,000 to have an Exhibitor’s table at CPAC but our request was ignored and our payment refunded. Meanwhile, CPAC is allowing a homosexual activist group, Log Cabin Republicans, to exhibit, as well as single-issue advocacy groups on issues like opposition to the death penalty, usually a liberal crusade. Is libertarianism silencing the defense of Judeo-Christian sexual morality? Will the GOP go pro-homosexuality like the Conservative party in the U.K.?

AFTAH: Is CPAC ‘Conservative’ When It Bans Anti-Gay Agenda Exhibitors While Welcoming LGBTQ Activists?

February 23, 2018
Contact: Peter LaBarbera: 312-324-3787; americansfortruth@gmail.com
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH.org), issued the following statement about the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)’s decision to disinvite the pro-family group MassResistance as an Exhibitor sponsor. CPAC (Feb. 21-24) welcomed the LGBTQ activist Log Cabin Republicans as Exhibitors, but AFTAH received no response from CPAC when it applied and paid $2,000 to be an Exhibitor after MR was disinvited:
CPAC’s capricious action against MassResistance and its president, Brian Camenker, is an unconscionable sellout of real, principled conservative values. CPAC has it backwards: it is the homosexual-transgender activist group Log Cabin Republicans that doesn’t belong at a conservative conference–not an organization fighting the fanatical, anti-Christian LGBTQ lobby.
The Log Cabin Republicans’ morally subversive agenda is to push for the acceptance of proud homosexuality and “gay marriage” within the Republican Party, and “rights” based on disordered yet changeable sexual behaviors and an ever-expanding array of “gender identities.” This defies God’s creation and is not conservative.
MassResistance is the world’s leading grassroots organization standing up to the homosexual-bisexual-transgender movement. Its dedicated followers expose efforts to “mainstream” deviant sex-and-gender confusion in schools and work to protect—i.e., conserve—the age-old institution of marriage as God ordained it. This is the essence of noble conservatism.
After opening up the door to sexual immorality (with an “R” next to it), CPAC then went a step further by banning this heroic pro-family group, using as its pretext something Camenker said in a speech three years ago. Keep in mind that CPAC invited profane Milo Yiannopoulos, a self-described “Dangerous Faggot,” to speak last year and also has welcomed atheists as Exhibitors.
CPAC has squandered its moral authority by pandering to political correctness. It is teaching young conservatives all the wrong lessons about fairness and right versus wrong. CPAC’s leaders owe an apology not just to Camenker and MassResistance but to principled, Reagan social conservatives everywhere.
Support AFTAH, Because the Truth Matters

Boy in a dressBig Gay and Big Trans Inc are more aggressive and vindictive than ever. They viciously compare faithful Christians and moral-minded Americans to the KKK and vile racists.  And the media rarely call them out on such evil lies. [See Peter LaBarbera’s Special AIM Report HERE.]  Steeped in “pride,” homosexual and “transgender” militants are not content to try to eliminate dissent to their radical, destructive agendas in the public square.  They also are bullying private business owners who refuse to celebrate “gay marriage” and other aspects of the LGBTQueer agenda.  This Sin Movement currently poses the gravest threat to our cherished freedom of speech and our liberty to live out our faith publicly, before God.

Donate to AFTAHThat is why AFTAH’s work is more important than ever.  Nothing that homo-fascists come up with will ever intimidate us from our mission of upholding God’s Truth about homosexualism and transsexualism–in the love of Jesus Christ.  Please give today to AFTAH!!  Make a donation safely online HERE or send your check to:

AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION POSTS PRO MEDITATION ARTICLE~THEY STILL DON’T GET IT~

AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION POSTS PRO MEDITATION ARTICLE~THEY STILL DON’T GET IT 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

Last week, a reader sent us an e-mail concerned about an article that
AFA (American Family Association) just posted on the AFA Journal
website. The article, titled “Study says meditation remains popular across diverse religions,” is actually an extract of a 2018 Pew Research Center article. (Pew is a liberal think tank.)

The article posted on AFA is clearly not posted
to warn readers about meditation but rather is to show its supposed
benefits and even goes so far as to say Christian “meditation” is much
different than eastern meditation (something which Lighthouse Trails
has proven over and over for many years that the opposite is true).
Here is a short excerpt from the Pew article posted on AFA:

In Christian tradition, the discipline of
meditation – otherwise known as silent contemplation – dates back to
early Christian mystics [the desert fathers] who sought God in the quiet
and solitude of the wilderness during the first centuries after the
death of Jesus. Even before that, there are many examples in the Old
Testament of godly people secluding themselves for a time of dedication
to God.

However, it is helpful to note that
Christian meditation and other forms of meditation are quite different.
Today, Christians of various traditions hold to meditation as a means
to draw closer to God and fill their minds with Him. In contrast to
this, Eastern-style meditation generally involves clearing the mind.

While we would expect this mindset from Pew
Research because they have never hidden their favorable views on
meditation or the “new” spirituality, we are surprised that AFA is
willing to be so bold about posting this pro-meditation article.
A bit surprised – more disappointed than anything. It was in 2006 that Lighthouse Trails wrote a series of articles regarding AFA’s
then bookstore that was filled with numerous books by contemplative
mystics and New Age sympathizers.
Many Lighthouse Trails readers
contacted AFA after reading our articles and seeing the documentation.
At one point, AFA received so many calls from our readers, they
actually issued an apology after posting a pro-meditation book review.
That retraction stated:

On August 28, 2006, AgapePress, a news division of American Family Association, carried a positive review of the book Sacred Listening.
The author of the book is James L. Wakefield. The person who reviewed
the book is a contributing writer and not a staff person of AFA or AgapePress. AFA and AgapePress have received a number of e-mails from AgapePress readers and AFA supporters who believe this book promotes New Age practices and teachings.
AgapePress and
AFA regret running this review — and, while AFA works with many
religious groups on matters of public policy, it maintains a traditional
evangelical position with respect to theology and Christian doctrine.
Tim Wildmon, President, American Family Association | Jody Brown,
Editor, AgapePress (source)

However, even after that retraction, AFA’s
bookstore continued carrying a wide variety of pro-contemplative
meditation books. Lighthouse Trails sent a copy of A Time of Departing
to AFA and spoke on the phone on one occasion to Tim Wildmon who
admitted he was in a quandary because AFA had many Catholic supporters
who were in favor of such books. In 2007, AFA shut their bookstore down all together. Apparently, it was easier to shut it down than address and deal with the contemplative issue.

Fast forward eleven years to this present
posting of the pro-meditation article by AFA. What saddens us is that
in all these years, Christianity’s most influential organizations and
leaders have still not addressed the contemplative issue (which means
they consider it a non-issue to contend with). And in these last
eleven years, contemplative prayer (i.e., Spiritual Formation) has
latched on to today’s Christian church resulting in a significant
derailment of biblical teaching and practice within Christianity at
large. Just look at Christian seminaries, colleges, and universities
where we estimate over 90% have introduced contemplative spirituality
into their student’s lives.

So, we have come full circle. AFA took down a
bookstore eleven years ago that was riddled with heretical books,
which outwardly removed the problem, but like a sinister thief hiding
in a closet waiting for his moment to make his move, AFA never truly
removed or dealt with the problem. What’s the point of trying to “save
the culture,” which is the focus of AFA, if they don’t try to save
the Gospel (which is under direct attack by the contemplative
meditation movement)?

PEW RESEARCH ARTICLE

With regard to the 2018 Pew Research article
that AFA quoted from, let’s take a moment and look at the rest of that
article. In reality, AFA should have been posting the article as a
warning to Christians. In the Pew article, it states how a growing
number of Americans are meditating. They took statistics from a 2014
study, which shows that 49% of those who call themselves Evangelical
Protestant meditate at least once a week. Forty percent of Catholics, 55
percent of black Protestants, and 36 percent of mainline Protestants
(Episcopal, United Methodist, etc) meditate at least once a week.
Frequency of meditation among U.S. religious groups

Those figures were not shown in the AFA
extract. Anyone reading these figures who understands the dangers of
meditation should be alarmed at these high percentages among
proclaiming Christians. If this doesn’t show that a paradigm shift has
occurred, we don’t know what does. Lest some think that those
responding to the Pew survey were thinking Pew was meaning regular
prayer, the Pew article says they distinguished between the two in
their questionnaire.

So, it appears that Lighthouse Trails is in a
losing battle. Mystical meditation WILL prevail. It IS prevailing, and
the result will be an apostate church that is wholly given over to
delusion. That is because meditation (focusing on the breath or a word
or phrase in order to go into a silent state – i.e., putting the mind
into neutral) puts the practitioner into contact with a demonic realm
(e.g. altered state of consciousness), and over time, this alters
one’s spiritual outlook changing the mindset from a biblical view to a
New Age panentheistic view.

What appears to be happening now is that we
have reached a moment of decision as when Moses addressed his people
and challenged them on which side they would stand. Or in the words of
Joshua, “choose you this day whom ye will serve” (Joshua 24:15).

If you are reading this article and have
wondered about so-called Christian meditation and whether it is right
or wrong, and whether it is the same as eastern meditation, we would
be happy to send you a complimentary booklet that explains what
meditation is and why it is not biblical nor spiritually safe.

908, Eureka, MT 59917. Or if you prefer, click here
to read this article by Ray Yungen who devoted his life to helping
others see the dangers of contemplative meditation. The article shows
that Christian “mediation” is from the same source as eastern-style
meditation.

BAD NEWS FOR GAITHER FOLLOWERS: GLORIA GAITHER PRAISES NEW AGE TEACHERS SUE MONK KIDD & RICHARD ROHR

BAD NEWS FOR GAITHER FOLLOWERS: 
GLORIA GAITHER PRAISES NEW AGE TEACHERS SUE MONK KIDD & RICHARD ROHR
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

Last week, we received the following information from a reader:

Gloria Gaither

Gloria Gaither

Dear Lighthouse Trails:
Gloria Gaither is the author of many influential songs
including “There’s Something About That Name.” She writes glowing
reviews of the two books listed below. One by Richard Rohr, a Roman
Catholic priest and the other by Sue Monk Kidd who believes herself to
be a goddess. These book reviews are from Bill & Gloria Gaither’s
Homecoming Magazine website.
Thanks,
Jeff
Quote by Gloria Gaither About Sue Monk Kidd:
“Most of the time I choose a nonfiction book that brings a new
insight or fresh approach to an eternal truth or encourages spiritual
growth in an area that seems to need emphasis for the times in which
we are living. But this time I am recommending the New York Times bestselling book of fiction, The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd, author of The Secret Life of Bees. . . . Sue
Monk Kidd is an amazing writer who tells a story with such skill that
she somehow manages to both prick our consciences and give us great
hope. (source)

Sue Monk Kidd
Sue Monk Kidd

Quotes by Sue Monk Kidd:

“I often went to Catholic mass or Eucharist at the
Episcopal church, nourished by the symbol and power of this profound
feeding ritual” (Kidd, The Dance of the Dissident Daughter, p. 15).
“I would go through the gate with what Zen Buddhists call
‘beginner’s mind,’ the attitude of approaching something with a mind
empty and free, ready for anything, open to everything. . . . I would
give myself permission to go wherever my quest took me” (The Dance of the Dissident Daughter, p. 140).
“I remember a feeling rising up from a place about two
inches below my navel. . . . It was the purest inner knowing I had
experienced, and it was shouting in me no, no, no! The ultimate authority of my life is not the Bible;
it is not confined between the covers of a book. It is not something
written by men and frozen in time. It is not from a source outside
myself. My ultimate authority is the divine voice in my own soul.
Period. . . . That day sitting in church, I believed the voice in my
belly. . . . The voice in my belly was the voice of the wise old woman.
It was my female soul talking. And it had challenged the assumption
that the Baptist Church would get me where I needed to go” (The Dance of the Dissident Daughter, pp. 76, 77, 78, emphasis added).

Quote by Gloria Gaither About Richard Rohr:
In an interview between Gloria Gaither and Catholic mystic monk,
Richard Rohr, Gaither said: “First of all, I want to say thank you to
you [Richard Rohr] because so many of your books have been impacting
my life, especially Falling Upward. I think that changed my
thinking about . . . just about everything. We have studied that book
in our Monday night Bible study.” (source)

Richard Rohr

Richard Rohr

Quotes by Richard Rohr:

“every time God forgives us, God is saying that God’s own
rules do not matter as much as the relationship that God wants to
create with us.”― Richard Rohr, Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life
“The most amazing fact about Jesus, unlike almost any
other religious founder, is that he found God in disorder and
imperfection—and told us that we must do the same or we would never be
content on this earth. ”― Richard Rohr, The Naked Now: Learning to See as the Mystics See

LTRP Comments: In 2009, we were first alerted to the direction that the Gaithers appeared to be going, and we posted an article titled, “Gaither Family Fest To Include The Shack Author.” In that article, we stated:

Bill and Gloria Gaither will be hosting the 19th annual Family Fest in May and will be featuring The Shack
author William Paul Young. The Gaithers have been a popular Christian
music team for many years. . . . In 2005, the Gaithers held their
Gaithers Praise Gathering in which they invited Brian McLaren, Leonard
Sweet, and other emerging church leaders to be speakers. In 2008, at
the Gaither’s Fall Festival, Brian McLaren’s book, The Secret Message of Jesus (see Faith Undone
for information on that book) was featured in the Readers Breakfast
Club. Gloria Gaither is also on the Advisory Board for the Spirit and
Place Festival, an organization sympathetic to the “new (age)
spirituality.” McLaren is a featured personality in that organization.
The Gaither’s promotion of The Shack, Brian McLaren, and
Leonard Sweet are strong indicators that the Gaithers are attracted to
emerging spirituality, and this will no doubt influence many of their
followers.

As for this promotion of Richard Rohr and Sue Monk Kidd,
this is a perfect example of the downward slide of deception. Sadly,
the Gaithers have millions of followers through their music, and now
these followers are being pointed to two New Age panentheists rather
than to the Cross. When the Gaithers wrote and sang “There’s Something About That Name [Jesus],”
who would have thought they would be able to sing such high praises for
people who are following a different Jesus and a different Gospel?
Additional Information on Sue Monk Kidd:
Of Sue Monk Kidd, Ray Yungen states:

[Sue] Monk Kidd’s spirituality is spelled out clearly in her book, When the Heart Waits.
She explains: “There’s a bulb of truth buried in the human soul
[everyone] that’s only God . . . the soul is more than something to win
or save. It’s the seat and repository of the inner Divine, the
God-image, the truest part of us. . . .
How did a Baptist Sunday school teacher come to believe
that divinity is within all? [A]Sunday school co-worker handed her
[Monk Kidd] a book by Thomas Merton telling her she needed to read it.
Once Monk Kidd read it, her life changed dramatically. What happened
next completely reoriented Sue Monk Kidd’s worldview and belief
system. She started down the contemplative prayer road with bliss,
reading numerous books and repeating the sacred word methods taught in
her readings.
She ultimately came to the mystical realization that: “I
am speaking of recognizing the hidden truth that we are one with all
people. We are part of them and they are part of us . . .  When we
encounter another person . . .  we should walk as if we were upon holy
ground. We should respond as if God dwells there.”-A Time of Departing, 2nd ed., p. 134-135

Dance of the Dissident Daughter, published six years after When the Heart Waits,
shows Monk Kidd’s transition into goddess and panentheist
spirituality, going so far as to say that God can be found even in
human excrement. In speaking about mysticism, she states:

As I grounded myself in feminine spiritual experience,
that fall I was initiated into my body in a deeper way. I came to know
myself as an embodiment of Goddess…. Mystical awakening in all the
great religious traditions, including Christianity, involves arriving
at an experience of unity or nondualism. In Zen it’s known as
samadhi…. Transcendence and immanence are not separate. The Divine is
one. The dancer and all the dances are one. . . . The day of my
awakening was the day I saw and knew I saw all things in God, and God
in all things (pp. 161-163, Dance of the Dissident Daughter).

Additional Information on Richard Rohr:
Rohr’s spirituality would be in the same camp as someone like Episcopalian panentheist Matthew Fox (author of The Coming of the Cosmic Christ). Rohr wrote the foreword to a 2007 book called How Big is Your God?
by Jesuit priest (from India) Paul Coutinho. In Coutinho’s book, he
describes an interspiritual community where people of all religions
(Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity) worship the same God. For Rohr to
write the forward to such a book, he would have to agree with
Coutinho’s views. On Rohr’s website, he currently has an article titled
“Cosmic Christ.” One need not look too far into Rohr’s teachings and
website to see he is indeed promoting the same Cosmic Christ as Matthew
Fox – this is the “christ” whose being they say lives in every
human-this of course would nullify the need for atonement by a savior.

FRENCH CHILDREN BEING TAUGHT MIGRATION IS A “HUMAN RIGHT” & “WE ARE ALL AFRICANS”

FRENCH CHILDREN BEING TAUGHT MIGRATION IS A “HUMAN RIGHT” & “WE ARE ALL AFRICANS”
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

France is safe and prosperous only thanks to a ‘lifetime
of open borders’, while mass migration is a “universal right”, according
to literature being handed out in French classrooms.


The madness is complete. This brazen propaganda about France’s
suicidal immigration policy is embarrassing, as is the fact that people
actually buy into this irrationality. Most dangerous is that it is being
taught in classrooms.


Despite French law requiring politics be kept out of
state school classrooms, the material makes no attempt to hide its
far-left bent, suggesting that any attempt to question the age of
so-called unaccompanied minors is an affront to basic human rights.

Contrary to being “safe” due to open borders, France is in chaos
due to mass Muslim migration, as are other European countries, and
conditions are worsening. Ricard Abitbol, President of the Confederation
of Jews in France, has already warned
that “in a few decades, there will be no Jews in France” as a result of
violent Islamic anti-Semitism related to the influx of Muslim migrants.
Right before Christmas, France allowed Muslim street prayers, but
banned a Christmas movie as “too Christian.” In November, a French academic, Professor Christian de Moliner,
suggested the creation of a Muslim state within France in order to
prevent a civil war. In an attitude of complete surrender, De Moliner
stated that “we will never be able to eradicate the radical Islamism.”
Then recently, in a stunning show of disrespect, Ahmet Ogras, president of the French Council of the Muslim Faith, warned French leader Emmanuel Macron not to meddle with Islam.

Many in France have already surrendered to the march of political
Islam and are now in fact tacitly advocating it in the classroom, as we
see in the distribution of propaganda by taxpayer-funded “Secular
Solidarity,” which is not secular at all.

All in all, “France is no longer France,”
and rather than try to salvage its peaceful society and democratic
order, many leaders are now waving the banner of the House of Islam,
declaring in the classroom that the hijrah as a “universal right.”

The French people however, have a different opinion, despite their passivity in electing Emmanuel Macron. Most believe that there are “too many foreigners in France and Islam not compatible” with French society.

“French Children Taught Migration Is a Human Right, ‘We’re All Africans,’” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, February 20, 2018:

France is safe and prosperous only thanks to a ‘lifetime
of open borders’, while mass migration is a “universal right”, according
to literature being handed out in French classrooms.


Intended for distribution to children between the ages of eight and
16, the new booklets are produced by ‘Secular Solidarity’, an
organization which receives around half of its funding from French
taxpayers, in conjunction with other groups including SNUIPP-FSU, the
major teachers’ union in France.


“Immigration is a fundamental human right”, according to the
taxpayer-funded body’s document, which tells children that “mass
migration is the very essence of humanity”, and argues they have no
right to secure the French border because “the most recent research
shows the first humans were all from Africa”.

“To migrate is to move, it is natural in human beings,” it states,
claiming that “the world we live in today: our countries, our cultures,
our languages” have all resulted from millennia of open borders, the
document alleges occurred.

On one page, a cartoon of an African boy is shown drawing attention
to the booklet’s intended feminist nature, in which he orders a cartoon
depicting a white girl to “notice… the use of inclusive language”.

“This new style of writing allows us to make men and women equals,”
the cartoon figure asserts, praising the “modernised” form of French
beloved by far-left activists but opposed by national language police,
the Académie Francaise, which brands it  a “mortal danger” to the centuries-old European tongue.

Despite French law requiring politics be kept out of state school
classrooms, the material makes no attempt to hide its far-left bent,
suggesting that any attempt to question the age of so-called
unaccompanied minors is an affront to basic human rights.

“Some children are made to have so called ‘bone tests’ to see if they
are an adult or a child,” the leaflet states, explaining that this
involves the state carrying out an X-ray so as to determine whether or
not to treat the individual as a minor.

However, according to Secular Solidarity, there is literally nothing
to recommend these tests, which the handouts allege are “unreliable”,
and tell children that “they do not make it possible to tell whether a
person is over 18 years of age”.

Worse than “unreliable”, in fact, the organisation goes on to imply
age checks by the state are a racist assault on people from other
cultures….
