Democrat Party meeting about anti-Semitism features anti-Semitic jokes, Omar won’t affirm Israel’s right to exist

March 20, 2019/in Culture War, Elections, Must Read, Policy, Politics, Religion, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

This meeting makes it clear that the Democrats are not going to be able to remove anti-Semitism from the party. Hatred of Jews and Israel, and uncritical acceptance of “Palestinian” jihad propaganda, is shared among too much of their base. And whenever they’re challenged, Omar and Tlaib claim victim status and cry “Islamophobia.” It has worked well for them so far, so expect much more of it.

“Dem Lawmakers Admit During Private Meeting They Don’t Know What Anti-Semitism Looks Like,” by Mikhael Smits, Washington Free Beacon, March 18, 2019:

A meeting of Democratic lawmakers about anti-Semitism in the party included anti-Semitic jokes and unapologetic members of Congress, the Washington Post reports.

In the wake of anti-Semitic comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and several closed-door conferences by Democrats to discuss related issues within the party, Rep. Andy Levin (D., Mich.), a former synagogue president, organized a meeting as “a more formal event that would focus on anti-Semitism.” The March 5 meeting of Muslim and Jewish lawmakers was a “moment meant to be about listening and learning” about the “raw experiences” of the elected officials, according to the Post….

During the meeting, some Democratic members “admitted they didn’t know what anti-Semitism looks like,” according to the Post.

To help manage the conversation, which was previously unreported, Levin invited Bend the Arc, a left-wing organization deeply critical of Israel and Republicans. In a recent tweet, the group called for Americans to “reject the Islamophobic policies our government is built on.”

When a Bend the Arc organizer in the room made a joke “about Jews and money,” Rep. Jahana Hayes (D., Conn.) questioned why the facilitator could talk like that when someone like Hayes could not. She later told the Post no one should be making comments of the sort.

“It’s not okay,” Hayes said when asked about the specific exchange. “These [sorts of jokes] are off-limits. It’s confusing for someone like me who is trying to learn.”

It took nearly two hours before a Democrat brought up the repeated anti-Semitism of Omar, the impetus for the entire conversation. The congresswoman, a member of the Progressive Caucus, has drawn scrutiny and condemnation since taking office in January for a series of anti-Semitic remarks.

Rep. Dean Phillips (D., Minn.), a Jew who represents a district neighboring Omar’s, told the room he considered her comments to be “tips of the arrow” of Jew hatred in America. According to “several participants” who spoke to the Post on the condition of anonymity, Phillips asked Omar to apologize and “publicly affirm Israel’s right to exist and protect itself.”

Phillips’s request that Omar support the right of Jews to exist in the Jewish state and in the United States “stunned the three Muslim Democrats in the room.”

Omar did not reply to the Jewish member’s request. Instead, one of her allies responded by changing the subject to the Palestinians. Tlaib “grew emotional and started to cry as she spoke of her grandmother’s suffering in the West Bank at the hands of Israelis,” according to the Post….

Tlaib defended Omar then, too. She claimed calls for Omar to leave the House Foreign Affairs Committee were a form of “Islamophobia,” not a proper response to anti-Semitism. Likewise, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D., Wash.) defended Omar, claiming the outrage, much of it voiced by American Jews, was really a scheme “designed to prevent us from taking on the question of our foreign policy toward Israel.”…

Readers will recall that several weeks ago, I began a series of comparative analyses between our hard-pressed IISS and the well-heeled INSS, highlighting the huge imbalance in the resources that we each have at our disposal to advance our respective agendas.

But the difference is not only in the massive imbalance in resources but in the substance of the countervailing policy paradigms that each institute endorses.

Sodom: The Official Guide

March 18, 2019/in Culture War, News, Policy, Religion, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Catholic Thing

Brad Miner on a book by a French author claiming the Vatican is 80% “gay” and asserting the pope needs to change theology because of it. Nonsense.

Although there’s nothing in it about Roman weather or the various sites you might like to visit on a trip to the Vatican, French journalist Frédéric Martel’s In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy is a curious sort of Baedeker to the ins and outs of the Vatican City State. To read it is a little like stepping through the door of Professor Lewis’s wardrobe, except it’s not Narnia you enter but Sodom.

Mr. Martel’s book purports to be an objective exposé that is the result of “1500 interviews in the Vatican and in 30 countries” over four years, during which Martel and his team of 80 “researchers, correspondents, advisers, fixers and translators” spoke to “421 cardinals, 52 bishops and monsignori, 45 apostolic nuncios and foreign ambassadors.” All were in-person interviews. (A note of skepticism: there are currently just 222 living cardinals, so unless Martel was doing séances . . .)

Nearly all those interviewed are members of what, according to Martel, they themselves call “the Parish,” which is what Pope Francis, in that famous (“who am I to judge?”) interview on the flight from Rio to Rome, denied even existed: a “gay lobby.” According to Martel’s accounting, it’s not just a lobby, it’s a small city.

How large is it? Martel says the Vatican has a homosexual “community” larger than the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco. Not for nothing is the book’s French title Sodoma – no need for translation.

Look, I’ve been so wrong about this “lavender mafia” for so long that I’m tempted to think Martel may be right, although his purple prose threatened to make my eyes bleed. To wit: “Never, perhaps, have the appearances of an institution been so deceptive; and equally deceptive are the pronouncements about celibacy and the vows of chastity that conceal a completely different reality.”

And then, referring to papal selection, my hemorrhage:

Many cardinals and priests who officiate at the Roman Curia, most of those who meet up in conclave beneath the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel painted by Michelangelo – one of the most grandiose scenes of gay culture, peopled with virile bodies, surrounded by the Ignudi, those robust and beautiful naked young men – share the same “inclinations.” They have a “family resemblance.”

If from that paean to pederasty you surmise that Martel is homosexual, you’re right. The text of his gossipy book is remarkably self-referential and self-congratulatory. I quipped above about the book being a guidebook, but it’s really a manifesto.

And the author has chutzpah. Many “gay” activists want to change culture and have succeeded as well as any revolutionaries in doing so. But Martel isn’t interested in simply normalizing homosexuality by exposing the hypocrisy those who hide the fact that they are “gay.” No, his book seems intended to force the pope to realize the extent of homosexuality in the priesthood and, therefore, change Church teaching to accommodate that fact.

Of course, that is what you would want if you are homosexual and believe same-sex activity is equal in every way to heterosexual activity. Martel clearly believes so. But he’s a fantasist if he imagines Pope Francis either will or – more to the point – can revolutionize Roman Catholic moral theology just because the Parish, on Martel’s reckoning, controls pretty much all the dicasteries.

And this is typical of the Left: they want to democratize everything, but they look to powerful individuals to accomplish the leveling – to men like President Obama or Pope Francis – who are (or might be) willing to trample on the will of the people or obliterate law and tradition.

But it’s all for the good! As Martel writes, with the robustness of a moral anarchist, “the Vatican is the last bastion still to be liberated!”

As people have talked and written about In the Closet of the Vatican, a phrase frequently pops up: “if only half of what Martel writes is true . . .” Half? Homosexuals comprise between 1 and 5 percent of the population. So, if you found that 10 percent of clergy were “gay,” you’d be curious to know why. At 25 percent, you might begin to be alarmed; 50 percent, you’d conclude there’s a crisis. Martel claims that for priests in Rome it’s 80 percent and that the higher a man rises in the Church, the more likely he’s homosexual.

Martel is hardly the first to seek exposure of the Vatican’s “gay” cabal. Panorama, an Italian magazine controlled by former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi (Italy’s Donald Trump), did a similar exposé in 2010, complete with entrapment and hidden cameras. Martel’s work is different only in its scale and advocacy. (One insider interviewed by Panorama put the number of Vatican homosexuals at a literally incredible 98 percent.)

But without naming names (except for a few men who were already “out”) – without sources speaking on the record – you might as easily assert that 80 percent of priests are space aliens.

Martel describes the “stains” that have besmirched the Church: Humanae vitae’s dismissal of artificial contraception; the “rejection of condoms . . . and the strict obligation of celibacy on the priesthood;” not to mention the disavowal of liberation theology; the Vatican-bank and Vatileaks scandals; misogyny in the hierarchy; Benedict XVI’s resignation (caused by the Parish); and the right-wing rebellion against Pope Francis.

He admits that rampant homosexuality in the hierarchy explains the coverup of sex abuse but also claims it’s behind the attacks against Francis. How? Because, of course, the pope’s critics are closeted: “Those conservatives, those traditionalists, those ‘dubias’, are in many cases the famous ‘rigid people leading a double life’ of whom Francis speaks so often.”

Those space aliens again.

Of course, the pope’s closest advisers often say – with similar implausibility – that the attacks arise, especially in America, because of his opposition to capitalism, not his ambiguities and departures from doctrine and discipline.

A fair summary (in his own words) of Martel’s thesis is this: “Have the pope and his liberal theologians [not] realized that priestly celibacy was a failure?” But, Monsieur, celibacy hasn’t failed; faithless priests have.

Of Tweets and Termites: Intersectionality and the Mainstreaming of Anti-Semitism

March 17, 2019/in Commentary, Culture War, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Caren Besner

Albert Einstein once observed, “If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.”

Why are Einstein’s words uttered some ninety years ago so relevant today? Because anti-Semitism, like some ancient Bacillus frozen in Arctic permafrost and defrosted, has again reared its ugly head; not just in Europe but around the world. This “new form” of anti-Semitism claims to be different from the traditional racial and religious images. Its adherents say that they are anti-Zionist, NOT anti-Semites. But listen very carefully to what they are saying and you will hear accusations that could easily come right out of the pages of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.”

Just recently, in the Belgium city of Aalst, a parade took place which featured a float whose ludicrous depictions of Jews were virtually the same as those seen in the pages of “Der Sturmer.” The float featured grotesque distortions of several Jews in religious garb complete with sidelocks sitting atop bags of money with a rat perched atop ones shoulder. It was anti-Semitism of the most virulent obscene kind that Julius Streicher himself would have been proud of. What makes this sickening display even more alarming is the official sanction given to it by the Mayor of Aalst; Christoph D’Haese who stated that “It’s not up to the mayor to forbid such displays,” and that the carnival participants had “no sinister intentions” . . . NO SINISTER INTENTIONS? I suppose one could say that Adolf Eichmann had no sinister intentions either. After all, he himself had no part in the actual killing process; he merely organized the transports to the death camps. He was just a man doing his job; no different from Mayor D’Haese of Aalst.

Here in the U.S. we have our own anti-Semitic scandal. Newly-elected Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Muslim immigrant from Somalia, has been tweeting a series of anti-Semitic tropes, which she has refused to apologize for or retract, and which has caused a great deal of controversy. What is extremely alarming is the inability of the Democratic party and its leadership to in any way try to condemn, censure or remove her from her position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Indeed, just the opposite has occurred with Democrats from around the country, and even a number of Jews themselves, rushing to her defense. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi herself stated that “Her words were not based on any anti-Semitic attitude.” Really! Not too long ago, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan declared, “People call me an anti-Semite. Please. I’m not an anti-Semite; I’m anti-TERMITE.” One cannot help but wonder if Speaker Pelosi would say that Minister Farrakhan’s statement “was not based on any anti-Semitic attitude.” In refusing to repudiate Omar, Pelosi and the leadership of the Democratic party has unofficially endorsed her anti-Semitic tweets. Their silence is deafening. Defenders of the party will point out that Congress did pass a resolution condemning anti-Semitism . . . as well as condemning Islamophobia . . . and ALL forms of hate against Hindus, Seikhs, LBGTQ’s and all people of color. But there have been no reported statements by any member of Congress against any of the aforementioned groups, except ONE . . . Ilhan Omar’s tweets concerning Jews. What would normally in the past have been a “no-brainer” for any Democrat, is suddenly taboo in this new age of political correctness, identity politics, and radical ideology. This is an indication of how far to the left the Democratic party has moved and attests to the nexus that exists between the radical left and Islamists.

As the Democratic party continues its lurch to the left, and all indications are that it will, invariably becoming even more anti-Zionist and by extension anti-Semitic; inevitably embracing the policies of organizations such as the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) Movement. To add insult to injury, there is a motion in the UN that was introduced in Jan 2019 by the Palestinian Authority to reinstate UN Resolution 3379; first adopted in 1975 and later revoked in 1991. That resolution declared that “Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.” There are no other people anywhere in the world, at any time in history that has this dubious distinction. When South Sudan gained its independence in 2011, after years of bloodshed, did ANYONE at the UN propose calling the national aspiration of the South Sudanese to their own homeland racist? The Kurds, an ethnic group indigenous to the Middle East whose population is scattered between Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey also aspire to their own national homeland, and NO ONE has called them racist. Only Israel and the Jews have that distinction. Make no mistake: Anti-Zionism IS anti-Semitism. The two terms have become conflated together. If you agree that Israel is as evil and repugnant as they say, then the ONLY possible remedy for such a racist apartheid fascist state is its TOTAL destruction; its Jewish population either exterminated or exiled.

This is how it begins. Slowly, surely, irrevocably, methodically, step by step, removing the constraints away from what was previously thought of as unacceptable. Get the population used to seeing and hearing various forms of anti-Semitism from parade floats to rhetoric on an almost daily basis. This normalization of Jew-hatred coupled with the refusal of politicians both here and abroad to seriously address the issue and choosing to defend the perpetrators, along with a left-wing media’s reluctance to adequately report on these events, makes the acceptance of anti-Semitism by the general public inevitable. Anti-Semitism has now gone mainstream. Look at what is happening in Europe today. In France, home to the 3rd largest Jewish population in the world, Jews are leaving in ever increasing numbers in response to a new wave of anti-Semitic incidents. In Britain, the openly anti-Semitic Jeremy Corbyn, head of the left-wing Labour party, is eagerly anticipating his own accession to power while Prime Minister Teresa May laments on how sad it is that British Jews feel they no longer have a future in Great Britain. American Jews, for their part, seem almost blissfully unaware of the tsunami of anti-Semitism that is engulfing Europe and will sooner or later make its way here with the same intensity we see in Europe. “We are safe here,” is a commonly heard refrain. “We are a civilized and cultured country with laws that protect us,” they claim. So are Britain and France. So was Germany during the two world wars. Germany, during the 1920’s and early 1930’s was generally regarded by many as the most advanced country on the planet; scientifically, culturally, and artistically. This was the country of Beethoven, Bach, Goethe, and Heine. German Jews considered themselves to be patriotic Germans. More than 100,000 of them had served in the German army during the first world war; some 30,000 of whom were decorated for bravery; yet, when their time came they walked into the gas chamber along with all the others. Many American Jews are almost totally ignorant of this fact. They continue to cling to their ancestral ideology; a combination of Progressivism, ultra-Liberalism, neo-Marxism, and the Jewish concept of “tikkun olam.” They ardently believe that the main threat to Jews today comes from the neo-Nazis and the KKK. While it is true that these groups do exist, they comprise only a small percentage of the population. Of course, there are both leftist Jewish and non-Jewish groups who would disagree with these statistics. They choose to lump all Republican Conservatives and anyone who disagrees with them into the category of neo-Nazis and right-wing hate-mongers. They ignore the real threat today that comes NOT from a maligned and numerically inferior neo-Nazi and KKK Movement, but from an unholy alliance of convenience between the radical left and Islamists; a fact most American Jews cannot and will not accept.

The radical left of today is playing for very high stakes. Ultimately, it is all about power and control. They will continue to spread their message of identity politics, victimhood, social justice, racism, anti-Zionism, and anti-Semitism in order to achieve these goals. They will continue to practice what has become known as the doctrine of intersectionality; which allows them to make common cause with any other group they perceive as “oppressed.” This is why you see anti-Israel and anti-Semitic signs displayed by just about every radical left group at demonstrations throughout the country. It is why a few years ago, activists in Ferguson, Missouri carried placards saying, “From Ferguson to Gaza; the struggle continues.” The vast majority of American Jews have gone along with these policies in keeping with the belief system of their forebearers. They are unable or unwilling to comprehend that their Progressive, Liberal, Neo-Marxist ideology has shifted its allegiance to those who seek the destruction of the Jewish state and by extension – the Jewish people.

American Jewry today is at a crossroads. In all probability the vast majority of American Jews will continue to cling to their ancestral belief system. It is what they are familiar with. It is what their parents and grandparents believed in. It is all they know. To change now would be to deny everything their family members and they, themselves, have lived for. But before they bury their heads in the sand once again, they should at least hear these simple truths. When our enemies came for us during the Holocaust, they did not ask if we were Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or secular Jews. Neither were they interested in any past service we may have rendered to the state. WE WERE JEWS! That was all that mattered; and if history repeats itself . . . when our enemies come for us once again in the future; they will not ask if we are Israelis or Zionists. They will not care that we marched in the Civil Rights Movement; protested against apartheid in South Africa; supported equal rights for women; advocated for the LBGTQ community, and campaigned for Hillary or Bernie. You will be a Jew – and that is all that will matter!

The anti-Semitism that has been unleashed today by the radical left and their Islamist allies is of a kind that is so visceral; so virulent; so vile; so vicious, and so vitriolic that it can no longer be justified under the guise of anti-Zionism. In form, content, and message, it is EXACTLY the same as that which was seen and heard during the heyday of the Third Reich. It is what made the Holocaust possible. What begins with a parade float in Aalst, Belgium, inevitably ends in the gas chambers of Auschwitz and Treblinka. This is the fate our enemies have in store for us. This is why Grand Ayatollah Khameini in Tehran rejoices that more Jews are moving to Israel; it will make it easier to find and kill us all when the time comes.

As for the Jews themselves, most of them will continue doing as they have always done, confident in the assurances of their religious and political leadership that “we are safe here.” They will continue to vote for, support and finance the party and the ideology that will ultimately lead them down the pathway to their own destruction and that of the state of Israel. Vladimir Jabotinsky was quite correct when he wrote about them decades ago: “The Jew learns not by way of reason, but from catastrophe. He won’t buy an umbrella merely because he sees clouds in the sky. He waits until he is drenched and catches pneumonia.” History may yet prove that when it comes to the Jews, Jabotinsky, was an optimist.

College president Rejects Motion to Suspend Israel Study Abroad Program backed by Antisemitic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib

March 17, 2019/in Education, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Robert Heller

“Students and faculty of California’s Pitzer College voted Thursday to suspend the study abroad partnership with Israel’s University of Haifa, but college president Melvin Oliver is declining to take any action on the program, calling it an “academic boycott of Israel.”

In a slap in the face of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and her antisemitic followers the President of Pitzer college rejected a move backed by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib to suspend the Israel abroad study program. This is more than the Democratic controlled Congress did in the face of Tlaib’s antisemitism. Thank you President Melvin Oliver.

College President Rejects Motion to Suspend Israel Study Abroad Program

Anti-Israel Pitzer College proposal backed by Rep. Rashida Tlaib

BY: Brent Scher

Students and faculty of California’s Pitzer College voted Thursday to suspend the study abroad partnership with Israel’s University of Haifa, but college president Melvin Oliver is declining to take any action on the program, calling it an “academic boycott of Israel.”

The anti-Israel proposal, backed by radical leftist groups and Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, won the support of the Pitzer College Council in a Thursday vote taken by both students and faculty. Oliver says the vote amounts only to a recommendation to the president and is declining to take it.

Oliver made numerous arguments against the proposal in a Thursday message to the academic community, including that it was “prejudiced” against Israel, would “curtail academic freedom,” and that it is not the school’s role to take political positions.

“Although some claim that this is not an academic boycott of Israel, I disagree,” Oliver wrote. “The recommendation puts in place a form of academic boycott of Israel and, in the process, sets us on a path away from the free exchange of ideas, a direction which ultimately destroys the academy’s ability to fulfill our educational mission. I categorically oppose any form of academic boycott of any country.”

School Tries Concealing Drag Makeup Day

March 16, 2019/in Culture War, Education, Policy, Politics, Religion, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Family Research Council

“You did what?!” Parents across Santa Ana couldn’t believe it. In one house after another, the answer to “How was school today?” was nothing like they expected. Moms and dads listened in disbelief as their middle schoolers talked about going to an “LGBT Fair” that no one bothered to ask their permission for. There were even people in drag, their 11-year-olds said, giving make-up lessons — right there in school.

Townhall’s Kira Davis listened as one mom fumed about not knowing about the fair until after it happened. There wasn’t even an opportunity to opt-out, she complained at last Tuesday’s school board meeting. Unfortunately, that was just one of the infuriating examples the largely-Hispanic community used to explain how fed-up they were with the state’s new sex ed law. But the problem is a lot bigger than the law, Davis explained. It’s how liberals are exploiting the Spanish-speaking communities to implement it.

In one of the more fiery exchanges of the night, a mom seethed that so many liberals were trying to marginalize California’s multi-ethnic communities. “How can a state that claims to be so much for the rights of immigrants and minorities then ignore our concerns on purpose? They are hypocrites!” Although California’s law does order schools to offer the curriculum outline in both languages, Santa Ana hasn’t made the Spanish materials available to parents. Hardly an accident, Kira argues, since most of the communities like this one are “whole-heartedly opposed to LGBT-based sex-ed.”

One thing’s for sure: The more radical the social policy, the greater the opportunity for conservatives. Santa Ana’s meeting room was bursting with the latest evidence that Democrats have a huge problem on their hands, especially when it comes to abortion and sex ed. What’s even more insulting, these parents pointed out, is how liberals are purposefully taking advantage of them — deceptively leaving families in the dark because they know “this particular community would absolutely not approve of the more graphic elements.” Not to mention, Kira goes on, “the unmonitored discussions” on gender and sexuality.

Like a lot of other California districts, these parents have reached their boiling point. Tuesday’s meeting was so jam-packed that even the overflow rooms could barely hold the families. Holding signs that read, “No SeXXEd!” moms and dads fended off the ACLU attorneys who’d been farmed out across the state to handle complaints. Later, parents were even more furious to find out that four of the five people who testified in favor of the curriculum didn’t even live in the district!

In between emotional testimonies, Kira was appalled at how condescending board members were, firing back hostile — and at times, demeaning — answers. “As an outside observer, I was terribly vexed by how dismissive and deceptive school authorities were to this particular group of parents. It was clear they did not believe immigrant Hispanic parents were engaged or informed enough to be welcomed into the process.”

“All these people were asking for was a say, a chance to be involved, to be heard and to be active participants in the education of their children. They were asking for respect and instead received nothing but contempt and disrespect from the very people they trust to care for the development of their students.” But, she warns, “If you think this is just another case of ‘whacky’ California paying the price for their ‘whacky’ voting habits, think again. This is coming to a state and a school district near you.”

Are you prepared for that day? Make sure you’ve read FRC’s “A Parent’s Guide to the Transgender Movement in Education” — and share it with your friends.

CAXIT: Catholics Exiting The Democratic Party [+Videos]

March 15, 2019/in Elections, News, Policy, Politics, Religion/by Church Militant

by David Nussman.

DETROIT (ChurchMilitant.com) – A new website calls on Catholics to cut ties with the Democratic Party and liberal ideology.

In recent years, there have been movements for various groups to walk away from the Democrats and the political Left, such as “Blexit” — short for “Black exit” — which calls for African Americans to leave the Democratic Party.

There was also the “Walk Away” movement, consisting of liberal-leaning voters who have left the Democrats due to their increasingly divisive rhetoric.

Now, there is a website called “Caxit” that calls for Catholics to abandon the Democratic Party.

Church Militant reached out to Dori Belmonte, the person behind Caxit, and asked about the purpose of the site. She said that, in addition to encouraging Catholics to leave the Democratic Party, she also has intentions to “give a voice to conservative Catholic parishioners and priests who experience prejudice from the liberal Church hierarchy” and to “shed light on how liberal ideologies have poisoned the Catholic Church from within.”

On the future of the Caxit website, Belmonte said she imagines it might become something like a “virtual DRE” (director of religious education) that would help conservative-minded Catholics around the country “build activities and events” in their local area.

In a YouTube video shared on the Caxit site, Belmonte says, “There is prejudice in the Catholic Church against conservatives … and it’s destroying the Church.”

She speaks of a “liberal ideology that is poisoning the Catholic Church,” adding, “The Church needs to come out of the Democratic Party.”

In the video, she alludes to Jesus’ parable of the wheat and the weeds. She opines that the Democratic Party is becoming “more and more” like the weeds, while the Republican Party is becoming like the wheat.

Belmonte claims the Democratic Party supports policies that are “against the teachings of God.” She points to the Democrats’ positions on abortion and infanticide as well as other political issues like illegal immigration and human trafficking.

She believes that the Republican Party’s platform is closely aligned with Catholics’ political interests because it is “the party of family values, pro-life, the rule of law.”

With President Donald Trump’s election, Belmonte says in the video, the Democrats could no longer call themselves the party of the underdogs and the common man.

If the Church can break ties with liberal ideology, Belmonte argues, “we can restore our churches to their former glory and make them strong once again.”

Belmonte also noted that many well-meaning priests are “living in fear” that standing up for the Faith might hurt their parish financially.

She also speaks about the importance of “chastity education,” saying it can help counter both the scourge of abortion and the clerical sex abuse scandal.

In another YouTube video, Belmonte talks more about the persecution that faithful priests are experiencing from their own bishops.

“These bishops that are liberal,” she remarked, “are keeping the conservative clergy away from the conservative parishioners, who are dying to hear what they have to say, who are dying to have sacred liturgies and be able to worship in a way that they feel is reverent and holy.”

At one point in the video, she apparently alludes to the case of Fr. Edwin Dwyer in the diocese of Saginaw. Father Dwyer was removed from his parish earlier this year after a vocal minority of parishioners complained about the way he offered Mass with traditional elements.

The Caxit site has a list of “Favorite Websites.” Church Militant is included on the list.

Belmonte told Church Militant that she has a master’s degree in theology from the John Paul II Institute in Washington, D.C., and has “worked in church ministry for 12 years.”

The mission of the jihadi/jihada (one who engages in holy “war with non-Muslims to establish the religion”) is to bring Islamic law, sharia, to the world, whether through peaceful or violent means, and Ilhan Omar has dutifully begun her vocation for Allah, who is described in the Quran as the greatest deceiver of them all. It goes on to say that ALL deception belongs completely to Allah, that Allah actually raises wicked individuals to deceive and scheme, and commands people to do evil so that he may then have reason to destroy them – for Islamic supremacy. Mohammed led by example when he broke promises and treaties with three Jewish tribes, Banu Qaynuqa (624), Banu Nadir (625) and Banu Qurayza (627), and subsequently beheaded all the men, captured and enslaved the women and children, and enriched himself and his troops with the towns’ bounties. We must therefore recognize that Omar is mandated by religious doctrine to emulate Mohammed’s deception, using any means possible against her victims to advance the Islamic ideology. “When hate crimes against [her] and [her] followers don’t exist, they have to be invented,” to deflect attention from the jihadi onto the Muslims as victims.

Since her installation as a member of Congress, Omar has repeatedly censured Israel and Israeli and American Jews, making antisemitism acceptable and freely spoken by the re-awakening antisemitic community. Her allegations are a stealth technique of projection, as when the subject attributes his own unpleasant traits, impulses or ideas to another. For instance, Omar accuses Israelis of “abuse against women,” “apartheid” and “occupation,” distinctly Muslim deeds. She accuses Jews of dual loyalty to Israel, but not people of, say, the Palestinian territories, Somalia, Iran, Central and South America, who might donate their earnings to provide financial assistance to their homelands. Lest we forget, these three Muslim lands are known supporters of terrorism, whereas Israel is known to be the only democratic country in the Middle East, one of America’s most steadfast allies, and one that provides services that benefit people throughout the world – and this is the one she denigrates and boycotts. There can be no other valid reason except the centuries-nurtured visceral hate.

Ilhan Omar’s hostility is clearly defined by Islamic law as against Judaism, a religion that follows the Torah and Commandments for morality over evil. When Mohammed’s new religion was rejected by Jews and Christians for such pagan superstitions as circling the Ka’bah, and for its violent proselytizing, to name just two reasons, he turned their prayer direction to Mecca and against those who rebuked him, slaughtering thousands and seizing their treasure. It is this resentment that was instilled into Mohammed’s followers. They are removed from every aspect of individual freedom and bound to carry his millstone of hate and envy.

And here is the tactic. While Omar attempts to delegitimize the Jewish community’s allegiance to America, and her coreligionists work to delegitimize the Jewish bond to Israel (even to destroying holy relics dating back 3,000 years), she hides her own history and failings, that she will never assimilate, is not to be trusted, and will work to delegitimize our Constitution with sharia.

“Ultimately we [Muslims] can never be fully citizens of this country…because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country.” – Ihsan Bagby, leader of CAIR-KY, president of its board and Islamic Studies professor at the University of Kentucky, 1991.

“If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land.” – Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch, 2013.

Islam’s blame/shame culture is why this jihada will never admit to and apologize for her actions. Omar scarcely walks back her numerous canards when she immediately restates her free speech prerogatives to criticize Israel’s policies, using old antisemitic myths about Jews and money, as though Islam’s oil wealth has had no influence on our western banking, the media, our lower grades and universities, and indeed the entire United Nations. Her vague apologies have never actually acknowledged her wrongdoing or responsibility, and she would obviously run a repeat performance. She has also used the infamous Muslim Brotherhood maneuver, inserting the shrewd, devious warning that she must never be condemned “for being Muslim,” the Islamophobic threat intended to intimidate any who would contest her word. She is not naïve. Highly adept in her cunning, she is guilty of a fervent allegiance to Islam that supersedes any loyalty to America and, regrettably, she appears to have completely hoodwinked the inexcusably credulous Nancy Pelosi.

“Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a State on the basis of its own ideology and programme, … regardless of … which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment of an ideological Islamic State.” – Abul Maududi, one of the two most widely read and respected Islamic thinkers of the 20^th Century. “

“The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy.” – Islamic Law and Constitution, pg. 262)

In the late 18th century, the Muslim Ambassador Adja explained that the Quran gives Muslims the right and duty to make war against all, make slaves of prisoners, and that every Musselman who is slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise. The Wahhabi-type Muslim radicals, named for the Barbary Pirates from the Barbary Coast of North Africa, waged terrorist attacks through two decades. After a four-year war, a treaty was signed to end the aggression in 1805.

Yesterday’s Islamic Barbary pirates are today’s Islamic Somalian pirates from the same region, with the same pronouncements of jihad against the West. It now includes those who participate in “large scale mass migrations [that] become invasions,” known as hijrah. It overtook the Middle East, is prevalent through much of Europe, and is with us now, which is why the Arab countries refuse to take in their own refugees. Aided by the Left, the goal is to overtax the economy, tear down the wealthiest nations, redraw demographics and culture, and secure positions where they can work to overturn our civility and government.

Ilhan Omar, a Somalian Muslim, took her oath of office on the Quran, as did Rashida Tlaib, the “Palestinian” who wrapped herself in the Palestinian flag. In so doing, they pledged their allegiance not to the United States of America, but to Allah. Additionally, Omar is suspected of having ties to the radical Muslim Brotherhood (MB), and herein lies the projection connection. While she accuses Jews of duplicity, we must always reinterpret what the devotee of Islam says, particularly one who has been a keynote speaker for the IRUSA (Islamic Relief USA), the largest, global, Muslim fundraising group with terrorist ties, and CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist fundraising operation in US history. As MB affiliates, these women seem to be working to support subversive factions aligned to destroy America and Western civilization.

And while it was unexpected to hear her recent criticism of President Obama, considering his affection for Islam, and for other “flawed” presidents, Omar may be promoting herself and the new Progressives as the real “hope and change.” It may have been an unguarded moment when she expressed disdain for everything American, or perhaps she hopes to prepare the directionless youth, who’ve been deprived of their identity, religion, history, and reason, to submit to governance by another – Allah.

Aide to Senator Bernie Sanders Questions Loyalty of Jewish Americans

March 14, 2019/in Commentary, Elections, News, Policy, Politics, Religion/by Robert Heller

Why a ‘Self Hating Jew’ is so Loathsome.

Throughout history there have been ‘Self Hating Jews’. It is hard to understand or accept there is such a thing as a Self Hating Jew who hates other Jews. Such Jews are loathsome as they provide ammunition for other Antisemites. to be able to point to a Jew and say even the Jews agree with us.

Self Hating Jews become poster children for Jew haters.

Bernie Sanders is a ‘Self Hating Jew’

Sanders Aide Apologizes After Questioning Loyalty of Jewish Americans

BY: Mikhael Smits

“A campaign official working for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) apologized Tuesday for suggesting Jewish Americans and the U.S. government may have “dual allegiance.”

Belén Sisa is Sanders’s national deputy press secretary on his 2020 presidential campaign. In a Facebook post last month, Sisa shared an article likening the relationship between Democrats and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to that between Republicans and the National Rifle Association (NRA). Sisa was defending comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) about the Jewish community. Sanders has defended the same comments, refusing to condemn Omar.”

“Sanders has a history of hiring fervently anti-Israel and anti-Semitic staff. Two of his top staffers, Matt Duss and Faiz Shakir, “were chastised several years ago for their involvement in an anti-Semitism scandal that gripped a prominent Washington, D.C., think-tank.” Simone Zimmerman, the Jewish outreach director for Sanders in 2016, supports BDS.”

Read more.

Make no mistake about it. Bernie Sanders is an Anti-Semite a Marxist Socialist and a clear and present danger to the Jewish people, America and Israel. He has raised more money than any other declared presidential candidate by far. He hates Israel because it is a successful economic country based on America’s capitalist economy. Any contribution or vote for Sanders is a vote against America, Israel and the Jewish people.

Don’t be an Anti-Semitic, anti-American or anti-Israel enabler.

Mohammed’s Favorite Color

March 14, 2019/in Commentary, Policy, Politics, Religion/by Linda Goudsmit

America has been sleeping while the long term globalist plan of one world government is quietly being implemented through United Nation’s policies promoting population control in America and then mass immigration to replace the declining population. The objective is to build a permanent progressive majority Democrat ruling class that will eventually impose the final solution of one world government at the voting booths.

The radical “progressive” faction that has overrun the Democrat party in the United States has been referred to as the Red-Green axis. Investigative reporter James Simpson details the progressive movement’s objective in his 2015 report “Red-Green Axis: Refugees, Immigration, and the Agenda to Erase America.”

The open borders agenda is not new. It was framed in the Vancouver Plan of Action at the 1976 United Nations Conference on Human Settlements. The UN envisioned redistributed wealth and redistributed populations as the great equalizer that would bring sameness to the world – their final solution. One merged global population, one merged global language, one merged global currency, and one ruling global government to control the infantilized global population.

What is wrong with this comprehensive global merger promoted in spiritual terms as the great humanitarian solution to the world’s instability and rapidly depleting resources?

To answer this question one must examine the players and the objectives of the axis participants. Who plays for the Red team and who plays for the Green team?

Red is the color associated with communism and Marxist socialism. The leftists in America have embraced Marxism with adolescent fervor and naivete.

Green is the color most Americans now associate with ecological responsibility – not so fast. Green is a very important color in the Muslim world. A 2009 article written by Christopher Beamer titled “Islamic Greenwashing” explains why the color green is so important in the Muslim world. It was supposedly Mohammed’s favorite color! This is no small thing. The Quran describes paradise as a place where people “will wear green garments of fine silk.” Green is used to bind Qurans, the domes of mosques, Muslim flags, and campaign materials. The color green is symbolic of Muslim supremacy.

The Red-Green axis of Leftists and Sharia compliant Muslims in the Democrat party have common cause to destroy American representative democracy and replace it with one world government. But wait – whose one world government? Mohammed’s Green sharia compliant religious caliphate symbolized by Rep. Ilhan Omar? Or Marx’s Red secular socialist Utopia symbolized by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? The answer is Neither.

It is no accident that Omar and Cortez have emerged as the “voices” of the “new” Democrat party. It is laughable that Cortez says “She is the boss.” AOC is the very replaceable actress hired by the Justice Democrats who held a casting call for the part of Bronx Representative. She was working as a bartender and was entered into the contest by her brother.

Cortez and Omar are far more like ventriloquist dummies chosen to mouth the most radical political positions. Edgar Bergen gauged the audience response to Charlie McCarthy and the Democrat party is gauging voter response to Omar and Cortez. Like Charlie McCarthy, Omar and Cortez are dummies whose script is easily changed by their handlers.

Politics in America has been reduced to a Hollywood script with Congresswomen playing a part. Truth is definitely stranger than fiction.

Ilhan Omar’s district is the #1 terrorist recruitment area of the United States. Omar is a Sharia compliant Muslim who represents the hostile norms and antisemitism of her Sharia compliant district. Sharia law is completely incompatible with the cultural norms and freedoms of the United States and our Constitution. Judge Jeanine Pirro was entirely justified in her 3.11.19 opening statement to say about Omar:

“Think about this, she’s (Omar) not getting this anti-Israel sentiment doctrine from the Democrat Party, so if it’s not rooted in the party, where is she getting it from? Think about it. Omar wears a hijab which according to the Quran 33:59 tells women to cover so they won’t get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”

Judge Jeanine was reprimanded by Fox News and lost several sponsors. Political correctness has silenced the crucial debate about Sharia law in America that would expose how Sharia compliance is a threat to the safety and stability of the United States.

The producers financing AOC’s reality show and Omar’s antisemitic candidacy are Soros connected organizations exploiting the idealism and naivete of young people. George Soros is a carpetbagger – his Open Society Foundations support the radical Red-Green axis and the economic instability it creates so that Soros can buy up American assets as they lose value.

The noisy Red-Green axis players who currently dominate the Democrat party are the useful idiots of the quieter globalist elite financiers and their political representatives like Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton, Feinstein, Ryan, McConnell, Romney, and the late John McCain. The Globalist elite have a long game of their own articulated by globalist extraordinaire Henry Kissinger in Alex Newman’s 9.1.14 article, “Globalist Henry Kissinger Outlines ’New World Order.’”

Kissinger describes how the medium is the message of the New World Order at the 1991 Bilderberg Conference in Evians, France:

“Today, America would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”

The globalist New World Order is using the Red-Green axis to create the social chaos necessary to make America ungovernable. The Red-Green axis is an alliance of useful idiots that will make society so unsafe that the American people will willingly surrender their individual rights to the New World Government. This sinister globalist strategy makes sense of the seemingly incomprehensible acceptance by the Washington swamp of the lawlessness, anarchy, infanticide, antisemitism, and openly hostile norms promoted by the Red-Green axis.

The New World Order is a return to the binary socio-political system of feudalism where the globalist elite rule an enslaved global population.

Alexander Maistrovoy wrote a fascinating article titled “50 Shades of Green” in which he argues that the appeal of Islamism is the same appeal of every tyrannical regime – it is an escape from freedom. Maistrovoy writes, “They turn to Islam to escape from their fears, complexes, helplessness, and uselessness. They choose the despotism of body and spirit to deprive themselves of their freedom – the freedom that has always been an unbearable burden on their weak souls so full of chimeras. They crave slavery.”

The escape from freedom that Maistrovoy articulates is not the immutable destiny of man. It is proof of the powerful regressive pull backward toward the comforts and dependency of childhood that is the appeal of totalitarianism in all of its forms. The Left is not progressive – it is profoundly regressive in its advancement of collectivism and eternal childlike dependence upon the government. The Red team offers Socialism and eternal dependence for the price of your freedom. The Green team offers Islamic Sharia law for the price of your freedom. The Red-Green axis is the Democrat Party’s regressive escape from freedom.

What made America great was its insistence upon an emotionally adult society that embraced the responsibilities of adulthood in a free society. The current devolution of American society is described in my philosophy book Dear America: Who’s Driving the Bus? It explains how the efforts of the Left to infantilize American society is a deliberate effort to collapse America from within. A society of children cannot sustain itself – it is vulnerable and will yearn for the tyranny that Maistrovoy describes to restore order.

The Red-Green axis is in the business of creating social chaos to frighten Americans into childlike dependence. If the radical Democrat Party succeeds in its sinister efforts to infantilize American society, the people will plead for deliverance and will willingly surrender their individual rights as Kissinger explained.

The globalist elites who finance and manage the Red-Green axis have been stymied by the presidency of Donald J. Trump. America-first President Trump is the existential enemy of Globalism, Socialism, and Islamism. His favorite colors are Red White and Blue!

The future of America will be determined by the colors you choose.

Red for Socialism’s secular totalitarianism. Green for Sharia law’s religious totalitarianism. Or Red White and Blue for ordered liberty and the freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution.

VIDEOS: Horror Over Muslim Congresswomen Turns Heads to Muslim Reform Women

March 14, 2019/in Culture War, Immigration, National Security, Policy, Politics, Religion, Video, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Dr. Rich Swier

The ongoing horror over the rhetoric of America’s first Muslim congresswomen has people turning to Muslim reform women. Meet six outspoken and courageous Muslim reformers who also happen to be women. In the last week, each of these Muslim reform women have taken on the Muslim congresswomen, with laser-like focus on Ilhan Omar’s hateful rhetoric.

Raheel Raza

Raheel is part of Clarion Project’s Preventing Violent Extremism training program and the face of By the Numbers, a stunning narration of Muslim opinion and demographics. Raheel also the president of The Council for Muslims Facing Tomorrow, author of Their Jihad – Not My Jihad, an award winning journalist, public speaker, activist for human rights and featured in our award-winning documentary Honor Diaries. She is recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal for service to Canada. Raheel bridges the gap between East and West, promoting cultural and religious diversity for which she has appeared in print and on TV and radio numerous times. A fervent advocate for gender equality, Raheel is the first Muslim woman in Canada to lead mixed gender prayers. In her pursuit for human rights, she speaks regularly at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Shireen Qudosi

Shireen is the other half of Clarion Project’s Preventing Violent Extremism training program and Clarion Project’s National Correspondent. Shireen often looks at Muslim reform through the lens of faith, identity and belonging. As a former refugee raised across three continents, she has a unique perspective of the issues central to ‘the clash of civilizations’. Shireen has testified before the House Homeland Security Committee Hearing on radical Islam, offering a powerful testimony linking a generational crisis to Islam’s origin story. She is also passionate about child advocacy, refugees, deradicalization, and the transformational power of storytelling. In 2011, Shireen was named one of the top ten North American Muslim Reformers by journalist Christine Williams.

Asra Nomani

Asra is an author and professor who taught journalism at Georgetown University. She is co-director of the Pearl Project, a faculty-student, investigative-reporting project into the kidnapping and murder of her former colleague, The Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Just last week, Asra made headlines by challenging CAIR and Linda Sarsour right outside of Rashida Tlaib’s office. You can watch the video below or read Shireen Qudosi’s coverage of the events.

Soraya Deen

Soraya is an international activist, lawyer, and lead organizer for Women’s Initiatives at the OMNIA Institute for Contextual Leadership. She is the founder of the Muslim Women’s Speaker’s Movement. Soraya is also the co-founder of Peacemoms, which promotes Christian and Muslim dialogue. She covers themes of women’s rights, public leadership, and nonviolence.

Anila Ali

Anila is an interfaith leader with a focus on community building. Anila believes the community is the first line of defense against radicalization. She founded the American Muslim Women’s Empowerment Council along with other organizations driving community participation geared toward local solutions. Anila is also passionate about educational initiatives that benefit minority communities.

Qanta Ahmed

Dr. Ahmed is a physician, non-fiction author and broadcast media commentator. Her first book, In the Land of Invisible Women (Sourcebooks 2008) details her experience of living and working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Dr. Ahmed completed a treatise on the Psychological Manipulation of Islam in the Service of Terror, focusing on Islamist suicide bombing. As a result, she traveled to Pakistan’s Swat Valley to meet rehabilitated child jihadists, formerly operatives of the Pakistan Taliban. Along with Asra, Raheel and Shireen, she also offered testimony to U.S. Congress on the issue of radical Islam. She subsequently provided Congressional Briefings at the invitation of Congressional Staff on the issues of Palestinian child radicalization in the Disputed Territories in 2014. Watch Qanta take on Islamist Omar Baddar over the issue of problematic Muslim congresswomen.

What Part of “No Religious Test” Don’t We Understand?

March 13, 2019/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Must Read, Policy, Politics, Religion/by Jerry Newcombe, D. Min.

The Constitution says there can be no religious test applied to those seeking office at the federal level (Article 6, clause 3). But lately some on the left are trying to apply a type of religious test against some would-be Trump nominees.

Two years ago, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders raked a Trump nominee over the coals because of the man’s theological views. Russell Vought, a nominee to the Office of Management and Budget, attended Wheaton College. In an article on changes at Wheaton, Vought had mentioned that he believed Jesus was the only way to God. (This is based on something Jesus Himself said in John 14:6.)

Despite the Constitutional ban on a religious test, Sanders applied such a test and found Vought wanting. Look at their interaction from the hearing:

Vought: “Senator, I’m a Christian—”

Sanders: “I understand you are a Christian. But this country is made up of people who—I understand, that Christianity is the majority religion. But there are other people of other religions in this country and around the world. In your judgment do you think people who are not Christians are going to be condemned?”

Vought: “I wrote a post based on being a Christian in attending a Christian school that has a statement of faith that speaks clearly with regard to the centrality of Jesus Christ in salvation.”

Sanders: “I would simply say, Mr. Chairman, that this nominee is really not someone who is what this country is supposed to be about.”

Today, Sanders is again a serious contender for the presidency. Yet he flagrantly disregards this aspect of the Constitution. Unfortunately, he’s not alone.

On September 7, 2017, California Senator Diane Feinstein sat in judgment on Catholic appeals court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. Feinstein intoned, “I think whatever a religion is, it has its own dogma. The law is totally different. And I think in your case, professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern.”

Wow. “The dogma lives loudly within you.” There is a sense in which a secularist is somehow held in greater esteem than the believer—at least in Feinstein’s world. As if Madalyn Murray O’Hare was a greater American than George Washington?

More recently, in December 2018, California Senator Kamala Harris and Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono raked over the coals a would-be federal judge, Brian Buescher, for being a member of the Knights of Columbus, the world’s largest charitable Catholic group (with nearly two million members). They asked him if he would renounce his membership in such an “extreme organization.”

Senator Hirono noted to Buescher, “The Knights of Columbus has taken a number of extreme positions. For example, it was reportedly one of the top contributors to California’s Proposition 8 campaign to ban same-sex marriage.”

Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska thought that this anti-Catholic bias was so wrong that he forced a vote to rebuke such actions. Sasse told Fox News, “Happily, big win tonight,” as the Senate voted unanimously for his resolution. That would mean even Harris and Hirono voted for it in a remarkable show of inconsistency.

When I read comments like those of Sanders or Feinstein or Harris or Hirono or Cory Booker, I think of what Dr. Richard Land once told me in a television interview.

Land, the president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, told our viewers,

“Religious freedom is at risk in America. It’s under assault by political correctness and by the secular fascists of our time who want to try to impose their own code of conduct on everyone. The only thing that moral relativists cannot countenance is this: people who believe in moral absolutes. So they will seek to ostracize, and they will seek to penalize, and they will seek to prosecute people who do believe in absolute truth—mainly Christians.”

The irony of all this is the major role the Bible helped play in the founding of America. Vishal Mangalwadi, an Indian scholar, wrote The Book That Made Your World, on how the Bible helped shape not only America but the West.

Mangalwadi told me in an interview:

“The Bible’s influence in America has been the factor that made America a great nation. So, whether you look at freedom: political, economic, family, education, science, technology; the Bible’s influence has been pervasive for America and that’s the reason why a new president, when he takes his oath of office to uphold the Constitution, puts his hand on the Bible. In the Court, when you took an oath that you will speak the truth, you put your hand on the Bible.”

But if the secularists ultimately win, then only secularists need apply to jobs in the public square. What part of “no religious test” don’t they understand?

Antisemitism on Parade — Everything Old is New Again

March 13, 2019/in Commentary, Culture War, Policy, Politics, Religion, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Joan Swirsky

”…the Democrats have become an anti-Israel party. They’ve become an anti-Jewish party.” —President Donald J. Trump

”…the chickens of the Democratic Party are coming home to roost…maybe then they will also realize that anti-Semitism, like most cancers, is fatal unless it’s removed.” —Michael Goodwin, NY Post

Most people thought antisemitism had been relegated to the trash bin of history after Hitler and millions of his willing German-Polish-Austrian-French-Swiss-Belgium executioners—with savage premeditation—murdered six-million Jews in the 1930s and ‘40s, and the world—significantly after the fact—seemed to wake up to the psychotic, irrational, obsessed nature of Jew hatred.

But today, less than 75 years after the founding of Israel, Jew hatred has emerged from the cesspool in which it festers. The maniacal obsession with Jews is on the rise, not only throughout the Middle East and Europe – France, England, Germany, Ireland, Scandinavia, Belgium, et al—but it is also contaminating America the Beautiful!

Why? One reason is that Jew hatred didn’t really disappear after World War II. It simply went underground because people were chastened enough by the sight of crematoria-charred remains and cadaverous survivors to hold their tongues.

Jew haters never rest. While they abstained from vicious stereotypes and outright physical attacks until they could make their dreamed-about comeback, they were driven stark raving mad when Israel was declared a state in 1948 and the straggling remnants of the Holocaust joined their brethren in the land God promised to the Jews in the Bible thousands of years ago.

Even then, the Jew haters held back, certain that on the day of Israel’s founding, the five massive Arab nations that attacked her on land and by air—Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Egypt—would annihilate the fledgling state.

Instead, in its War of Independence, tiny Israel—outnumbered by millions in dollars and manpower—defeated her aggressors, increased the size of her borders and captured much of her attackers’ land.

Many wars ensued: the Sinai-Suez War in 1956, the Six-Day War in 1967, the War of Attrition in 1967-1970, and the Yom Kippur War in 1973—with Arabs attacking Israel, and Israel either holding its own or winning (in spite of catastrophic losses). And after all those wars, the Arabs engaged in not one but two protracted armed-uprising intifadas—in 1987 and 2000—neither of which stopped Israel from flourishing. In fact, every encounter with Israel drove both Arabs and liberals everywhere into paroxysms of rage.

Arabs because of the humiliation…how could 300-million Arabs go down to defeat to five or six million Jews? And liberals because they only identify with losers—er, victims. It is irrelevant to this leftwing species that Arab nations include in their mission statements that their goal is to kill all Jews and wipe Israel off the map! If Israel wins a war, they are the bad guys. Such is the liberal mentality—to this day!

WHY THIS RESURGENCE?

The religious-political-supremacist system of Islam was invented in the seventh century and has since led a relentless drive to literally take over the world, establish a caliphate ruled by sharia law—the law that mandates cutting off the clitorises of five-year-old girls, throwing homosexuals off roofs to their deaths, engaging in “honor killings” of teenage girls whose behavior they disapprove of, and killing all Jews. That sharia law.

It is no surprise that this megalomaniacal goal captured the imagination of leftists worldwide, including in our country, who share Islam’s goals, particularly of destroying America—the “Big Satan,” and Israel—the “Little Satan.”

While Islam’s biggest competition is Christianity and the billions of people who love Jesus, their chief target has always been the Jews of the world (who today number 14 million) who they’ve despised for thousands of years—since Abraham’s second-born son Isaac prevailed over his first-born Ishmael. Believe me, that’s it in a nutshell.

In order to gain a foothold in America, many Arab countries have donated multimillions of dollars to colleges and universities across the U.S. for decades, giving them de facto license to endow chairs and dictate curricula, most of which militate against Israel and paint a rosy picture of the 22 Arab nations—all of them dictatorships—that surround the tiny Jewish state.

In addition, the lobbyist groups of what Pres. George W. Bush called “the religion of peace,” have been very effective in insinuating themselves into our body politic, even reaching the highest reaches of power—in the State Department, Homeland Security, the IRS, all intelligence agencies, and even the Oval Office—especially during the Barack Obama regime. Among the many that operate openly is The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)—an offshoot of the terrorist-founded Muslim Brotherhood—which is a notorious neo-Jihadi group in the United States that pretends to be a civil rights organization.

Islamists have also poured multimillions into lobbyists and public-relations efforts to convince the world that the religion of peace is not behind the worldwide pandemic of terrorism that, as only one example, is happening today on a horrifyingly massive scale in Germany, as documented in sordid and graphic detail by Soeren Kern, a Senior Fellow at the New York-based Gatestone Institute. Equal data exist in England, Sweden, Belgium, et al.

Any surprise, then, that the florid metastasis of anti-Semitism has come to our shores?

THE SLUDGE SISTERS

I’ve already written about the latest Jew haters to contaminate the public discourse—the newly-elected U.S. Representatives Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and their ardent admirer Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)—all of them young, attractive, articulate, and seasoned in the kind of rabble-rousing that comes with training (or observing) the community-organizing tactics of Karl Marx, Saul Alinsky, and Barack Obama.

What is striking is their commonness, their utter lack of originality. When I listen to their compulsive antisemitism—kind of like watching the regurgitation of untreated acid reflux—there is not one word that hasn’t been leveled toward the Jews for the past 5,000 years. C’mon, girls, besides your jealous rants, is there even one original grievance in your arsenal?

What comes to mind whenever I see or read about this echo-chamber triumvirate is the Vessel Theory I developed a couple of decades ago and wrote about in my book, All About Love. Basically, it says that whatever comes out of a person is what’s inside of a person. But I used vessels—specifically vases—to demonstrate that point.

Let’s say you come into a room and see 10 vases on a shelf. One is very ornate and beautiful, another plain and unadorned, yet another made of clay, the fourth is ceramic with elaborate artwork, a fifth is crystal, the sixth is made of Chinaware, and the seventh of woven reeds, et al.

But when the plainest vase was turned on its side, pure spring water poured forth, and when the most beautiful vase was emptied, pure sludge! You’re familiar with sludge—that muddy mixture of dirt, muck, slime, dregs, contaminants, filth.

While writer David Catron of The American Spectator calls this triumvirate a “fractious coven” and “the weird sisters,” I think they can more accurately be labeled The Sludge Sisters!

Omar: Israel has “hypnotized the world” and I pray that “Allah awaken the people and help them see [its] evil doings …” Also that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) buys off Congressmen/women to support Israel, among almost daily regurgitations of Jew-and-Israel-hating memes. Sludge!
Tlaib: those who supported the bill against the Boycott-Divest-Sanction (BDS) movement—which seeks to strangle Israel economically—were torn by their “dual loyalty” to both Israel and the United States, and the bill’s supporters “forgot what country they represent.” And she supports a global economic, academic and cultural boycott against Israel. Sludge!
Ocasio-Cortez: supports BDS and falsely and maliciously condemned Israel last July for committing a “massacre” against Gaza “protesters” when in fact the Arabs (who call themselves “Palestinians”) were violent rioters trying to infiltrate Israel to murder Jews. And who was standing right behind her at her election victory party? A longtime vicious hater of both Jews and blacks. Sludge!

POWER POLITICS AT WORK

Meanwhile, when a brouhaha arose demanding that Democrats condemn the rank racism of their new members, particularly Rep. Omar, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi couldn’t quite make that happen.

According to journalist and author Kurt Schlicter:

“She could only get her caucus to agree to condemning all prejudice, sort of, including the tsunami of prejudice against Pacific Islanders that we all see around us so much in our daily lives. Of course, the Democrats never named the actual bigot because the Democrat base is affirmatively pro-bigotry. They hate Jews, Christians, white people, dissident non-white people, men, women who like men, and people who blaspheme against the creepy climate cult, among others.”

To add insult to injury, another Sludge Sister, Linda Sarsour, a Women’s March co-chair who believes Israel doesn’t have a right to exist, denounced Speaker Pelosi as a “typical white feminist” who does the dirty work of powerful white men, and castigated her for pushing the anti-Semitism resolution.

Not so fast, girls! All of a sudden, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is being investigated by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for running a gigantic slush fund with her campaign’s Chief of Staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, for funneling more than $1 million in political donations into two of his own private companies.

Questions are being asked about Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s failure to disclose her financial ties to George Soros—to the tune of thousands of dollars that were not reported on financial disclosure forms—as required by the House ethics committee. This while she announces to the world her upcoming plan to introduce articles of impeachment toward President Trump!

Rep. Omar has Laurie Cardoza-Moore, an Evangelical leader and president of Proclaiming Justice to the Nations (PJTN) calling on the US Justice Department “to launch a full and thorough investigation” into the congresswoman’s “possible connections to the Muslim Brotherhood” and “fundraising for two Muslim Brotherhood charities that seek to destroy America.”

Now really, do these freshman congresswomen—does anyone—believe that Ms. Pelosi is not behind these “coincidental” investigations? And further, that it is a coincidence that she proclaimed “NO IMPEACHMENT” for President Trump?

And did they think they had defeated the opposition when the weakling Democrats in the House and Senate caved to their racism by offering a watered-down, toothless resolution?

If so, they should all go back to kindergarten!

FIGHTING BACK

As journalist and author Bruce Bawer spells out, it may be time for Jewish Americans and the Democrat Party to part ways.

Just as Candace Owens has spearheaded the “Blexit” movement, Bawer writes, inspiring “black Americans to recognize the damage done to them by the Great Society and its aftermath [and to] leave the Democratic plantation, so has Brandon Straka led other gays to see that they’ve been “served a bill of goods by the mainstream media and Democratic Party and is now heading his WalkAway campaign.” But what about the Jews?

Well, whaddaya know? Here comes Elizabeth Pipko, a 23-year-old Jewish figure skater-turned-model who, in an effort to aid a “mass Jewish exodus from the Democratic party,” has popularized the “JEXODUS” movement” initiated by Republican activist Jeff Ballabon.

“Right now,” Ms. Pipko said, “as a Jewish person, you cannot support the Democratic Party and support the Jewish people at the same time.” The first JEXODUS rallies are scheduled for April in New York and Florida.

But even before those marches, the National Conference of Jewish Affairs, headed by Rabbi Aryeh Spero and his wife Beth Gilinsky, have organized a “sit-in” at the office of Speaker Pelosi at her office in Washington, D.C. at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 14th.

If you miss the rally, call Rep. Pelosi’s office at 202-225-4965.Each phone call represents 50 votes.

The message is simple:

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s history of anti-Semitic slurs and comments demonizing Israel make her unfit to serve on the Foreign Relations Committee.
Moreover, she is unfit to represent the interests of the United States on the Foreign Relations Committee.

It is wise to hearken to the words of Abraham Miller, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Cincinnati and a distinguished fellow at the Haym Salomon Center:

“While parallels to Nazi Germany are often overdrawn on one hand and too conveniently dismissed on the other, the recent decision by the Democrat Party to stand with Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and refuse to issue a resolution condemning anti-Semitism is very much like the Nazi removal of the protection of Jews in the legal system.”

“The Democrat Party,” Prof. Miller continues, “has institutionalized anti-Semitism and it has once-again, as it did during the Holocaust, abandoned the Jews.”

Heads-up, sane Jews! Leave the Democrat Party of Hate today, before you too find yourselves in the 21^st century’s version of the cattle cars of the Holocaust!

WARNING: The Rise of Anti-Semitism Signals a Global Disease

March 12, 2019/in Culture War, Must Read, Policy, Politics, Religion/by Simona Pipko

Warning! Pay special attention to the current Dems politics! The American Republic is at risk! Republican members of Congress, I am calling for your attention!

Anti-Semitism: an Integral Part of Soviet Fascism

Yes, Anti-Semitism is a major feature of Soviet Fascism’s ideology. It was Anti-Semitism that threatened the future of my children and forced me to emigrate from Russia to the U.S. I escaped it, but I am still very sensitive to any manifestation of it. The original House resolution at the end of February, 2019 was originally about condemning Anti-Semitism. The Dems then struggled over a week to change the premise of the resolution to make it against all hate actions by adding an anti-Muslim bias provision. They prevailed 407 to 23. Now that is glowing evidence of the danger those ideas are to the political system of the American Republic left to us by our Founding Fathers! We are witnessing a spectacular ignorance of the Dems Party pertaining to Soviet Socialism, I renamed Soviet Fascism lately…

Everything started with a Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Anti-Semitic slurs. For your information, Rep. Ilhan Omar is known as constant foe of Israel and Jews. She has demonstrated remarkable resilience for a public figure repeatedly accused of making bigoted slurs. Her latest controversial statement was made just last week, when she accused Israel supporters of maintaining “allegiance to a foreign country,” a classic Anti-Semitic trope.

Victor Davis Hanson told Fox News that Omar knows “exactly what she is doing.” He went on to explain that about a third of the members of the Progressive Democrat party “really do not like Israel and they are very resentful of this Jewish state.” Hanson concluded that Ilhan Omar continues to attack Israel because her attitude “represents the new wing of the Democratic Party. There’s benefits to be accrued.” Pay attention to the Dems defending Omar. You will see them change their opinion, when a clean FBI finds the truth, but we can learn a great deal about her defenders…

Rep. Eliot Engel (R-NY), believes that Omar should be officially censured for her remarks. But some lawmakers believe that this formal act doesn’t go far enough in condemning Omar — a repeat offender. “She is definitely anti-Semitic” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) told Fox News, adding, “I think she needs to be removed from her committee assignment. That’s the least we can do.” I would add to this that Rep. Omar, in fact, represents the new wing of the Dems—Socialist mafia in concert with Islamists to promote the ideology of Soviet Socialism, I renamed Soviet Fascism. Omar’s case is again evidence of the great failure of our Intel. Take a look at the history of her becoming a House Representative:

“District house race 60B –a neighborhood of Minneapolis – is shaping up to be a historic legislative race as it pits two Somali-American immigrants to succeed longtime state representative Phyllis Kahn. The winner will be the first Somali-born legislator in U.S. history.
Omar defeated Kahn in the 60B primary – a district which includes the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis. Omar, whose campaign biography says she spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before settling in Minneapolis in 1997, is a heavy favorite to win the November general election.” DFL candidate Ilhan Omar explains marital history in statement POSTED AUG 17 2016, UPDATED AUG 18 2016.

My attention was attracted by the phrase “she spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before settling in Minneapolis in 1997” This phrase tells me that Omar was recruited by the KGB. I have been writing about the KGB’s recruitments for the last thirty years. The KGB is infiltrating all refugee camps to recruit people getting asylum and going to America. Her latest slurs against Israel and the inability of the Dems to condemn Anti-Semitism is the evidence of Socialist mafia acting in concert with Islamists in the House. Anti-Semitism is a political attribute of fascism, a category of history, completely different from any other hate acts. It must be condemned decisively to prevent fascism from taking over America’s Congress. The Dems redefined history by their anti-hate resolution, covering up the reality of fascist infiltration. Read my column: Ripping the Mask off KGB Activity in Our Midst, February 24, 2019.

As an illustration and confirmation of my words look at the cover of Rolling Stone, where Socialists and Islamists are together laughing at you. The picture predicts your future and the outcome of the war against capitalism… Yet, you won’t find the name of Rep. Omar in the Dem’s anti-hate resolution, they covered for the culprit in the best traditions of Soviet fascism— as if Anti-Semitism doesn’t exist in America! What a Fraud! Like Mosley and Quisling in Europe, the Dems are masking their real face with the semantics of Stalin’s Political Correctness to cover up the crime committed by their leadership. Moreover, they are constantly using the typical Stalinist motto, “divide and conquer”–a race card and identity politics against Republicans. President Trump is not racist.

Stalin/Andropov’s Legacy for America

Let me show you Andropov’s legacy, revealing the Dems’ teacher and trainer by introducing a conversation of Lt. General Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking KGB officer ever to defect to the U.S, with the KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov:

“In 1972 the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the U.S. As KGB Chairman, Yuri Andropov told me a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on America that could a few millions. We needed to instill a Nazi-style hatred for Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to turn this weapon of the emotions into a terrorist bloodbath against Israel and its main supporter the United States. No one within the American/Zionist sphere of influence should any longer feel safe.” (“Russian Footprints,” by Ion Mihai Pacepa, National Review Online, August 24, 2008.)

General Pacepa wrote in the same article: “According to Andropov… the Muslims had a taste for nationalism, jingoism, and victimology. Their illiterate, oppressed mobs could be whipped up to a fever pitch. Terrorism and violence against Israel and her master, American Zionism, would flow naturally from the Muslims’ religious fervor, Andropov sermonized.”

“KGB chairman Yuri Andropov in February 1972 laughed to me about the Yankee gullibility for celebrities. We’d outgrown Stalinist cults of personality, but those crazy Americans were still naïve enough to revere national leaders. We would make Arafat into just such a figurehead and gradually move the PLO closer to power and statehood. Andropov thought that Vietnam weary Americans would snatch at the smallest sign of conciliation to promote Arafat from terrorist to statesman in their hopes for peace.” The KGB’s Man, Wall Street Journal, September 23, 2003. Please, pay attention to the KGB’s opinion about Americans—“they are naïve, gullible, and crazy.

It was somewhere at the end of 1960 or beginning of the 1970, when Andropov’s KGB infiltrated and inculcated the Black community with their production of the document: the Black Liberation Army Coordinating Committee’s Message to the Black Movement, A Political Statement from the Black Underground, Socialist Lies, p. 146. Just read and research the document’s influence on the Black community and you’ll be able to see how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together showing the KGB’s activities. I did it in all my books discussing Soviet Fascism. All factors mentioned by me, reinforce one another. Go to the “murder capital Chicago;” the KGB operatives from Clinton’s mafia destroying Blacks for the last thirty years there. Only actual knowledge can solve the problem of race—both the Blacks and the Radical Islamists are indoctrinated with totalitarian ideology, I called Stalinism or Soviet Fascism. Knowledge is Power!

Rising Fascist Ideology in America

Writing his essay “What is fascism?” George Orwell in the first sentence stated: “Of all the unanswered questions of our time, perhaps the most important is: ‘What is Fascism?” Yet, he is writing in the same essay that “Leaders in The Times (pre-war) have referred to the U.S.S.R. as a ‘Fascist country.’” Those words had been written in 1944, seventy years ago. As a former Soviet defense attorney, I’d like to extend this discussion to the 21^st century, though “Being asked to define fascism is probably the scariest moment for any expert of fascism,” one of the experts, Lachlan Montague, said.…

There are not a lot of authors discussing the philosophy of Fascism, unfortunately. I have only two sources to identify fascism: Robert Paxton, a professor emeritus of social science at Columbia University in New York who is considered the father of fascism studies and Lachlan Montague, a Melbourne, Australia-based writer, researcher of fascism, and its economic history. I respect their opinions, yet, my experience of living under a fascist regime brings some factual attributes of Soviet Fascism.

Montague defined fascism’s economic practices as “socialism with a capitalist veneer.” “If Marxism was meant to become a large group of countries sharing assets in an economic idea, fascists tried to do the same thing within a country,” Montague said. I, however, disagree with the second part of the statement: both ideologies have a global intent.

The mentioned authors also talked about the primacy of the group, believing that one group is a victim and this justifies any behavior against the group’s enemies. “Fascists scapegoat and demonize other groups.” Do you remember, it was Andropov, who introduced the term “victimology” in 1972? The Dems have learned it well using victimhood ever since, from Tawana Brawley to Jussie Smollett to stage and inflame the race issue to damage our society…Our Intel is still sleeping and the coup against President Trump is going on….

Once in power, “fascist dictatorships suppressed individual liberties, imprisoned opponents, forbade strikes, authorized unlimited police power in the name of national unity and revival, and committed military aggression,” Paxton wrote. He is right, just recall the Soviet history of expansionism since the victory of Socialist Revolution in 1917 Russia. The list of countries will start with Mongolia, China, North Korea, going to the countless Muslim countries in the Middle East… The Soviet history is identical to the Hitler expansion in Europe in the 1930’s and 40’s.Now you know where fascist expansionism came from…

There is an interesting remark about the origin of fascism by Montague, which is linking past events to the 21^st century. In early 20^th-century Europe, World War I increased popular distrust of government. Veterans “had been awfully betrayed by their own politicians, who had recklessly sent them to die.” Don’t you see an actual comparison with our country during the last decades? We are still discussing the propriety of the war in Iraq, though years ago, I informed my readers that prime-minister of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki was a KGB agent… Our failed Intel has not even talked about that…

Paxton stressed this point: “The rise of fascism is not really comprehensible without paying attention to the rise of communism,” he said. “In the 20th century, they were the two movements that proposed to set democracy aside and replace it with something else in order to make the world stronger. Both fascism and communism proposed violent solutions, and one would win by destroying the other,” Paxton said. I would add that Soviet Fascism is a well-developed and masked continuation of the global ideology of Socialism/Communism. “As of now, the term ‘fascist’ has been used as an insult so much [that] it has diluted the meaning, and in particular the evil nature the word carries,” Montague explained.

I don’t want to insult anyone, I lived a half of my life under regime of Soviet Fascism. My experience of watching the creation of a global Stalinist ideology of Soviet Fascism from within, allowed me to make my own conclusion: I can say that Soviet Fascism is a global, militant philosophy with sophisticated propaganda techniques and a violently exclusionary, expansionist nationalist agenda to take over the world.

Hitler and Stalin had established and cultivated Fascism in the 20^th century, Andropov and his devoted disciples have transferred the ideology of Soviet Fascism globally in the 21^st century. I have written about Soviet Fascism and the KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov for the last thirty years. Using the term KGB, I mean the entire Russian Intelligence Service–a collective image of several Intel agencies. Those three letters are familiar to the vast majority of Americans and they really represent the Soviet Gestapo, the mighty vehicle of dispersing globally the ideology of Soviet Fascism. If you read my columns in e-magazine www.DrRichSwier.com you can learn about relationship between Nazism and Soviet Fascism.

As a matter of fact, after the defeat of Germany, Stalin invited leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood to the Kremlin for celebration of his 70 birthday in 1949. For your information, the Muslim Brotherhood had sponsored the Arab SS Brigade of Germany in WW II. The relationship between Socialism and Islamism started there in 1949. Seventy years later, I have showed you the relative event going on in America’s House of Representatives, where Socialism and Islamism are fighting America’s Constitution. Don’t you think we are dealing with Soviet Fascism on our soil? Read my columns to learn about Soviet Socialism, which I renamed Soviet Fascism…

Fascist regimes require extreme national crises to gain popularity and power. The constant Witch Hunt against President Trump, his family and his administration is that exact crisis; manufactured by the Dems. Anyone who has observed the general political climate in America knows about Trump/Russia collusion. It is dead now, but the Dems will not stop the Witch Hunt. It will continue, they’ll now go for a kind of obstruction. For several decades, I uncovered a conspiracy, from an opposing point of view and aisle —about the constant collaboration of the Democrat Party and its members with Russia, about the Obama/Putin conspiracy, and about attempts to undermine Trump’s presidency, attacking him personally for the last three years. As a former Soviet attorney, I know the real reason for the Dems creating a crises—“Offense is the best defense” and this is the only way for the Dems to survive. They have to cover up their criminal conduct over the last several decades, to save their own skin…

Knowing the Russian methods, agenda, and its proclivity to mold Soviet style charlatan-leaders around the world to engineer cadres of fifth columnists, I believe there are two types of people committing betrayals: Those who do not like the political system established by our Founding Fathers and are trying to transform it– they are currently collaborating with the KGB to destroy the country, and those people who haven’t a clue about the KGB infiltrations, hence becoming their unwitting accomplices. Both groups constitute a huge help to President Putin, who is running the anti-Trump show… “

The Dems agenda and their ideological program are clear to me: they want to change America’s future social development, and stop the social mobility afforded by of capitalism. Just look at the “Green New Deal” –a colossal fraud aimed at stopping the social mobility of Trump’s capitalism, which has already shown the enormous ability of a free market economy to resurrect our nation from Obama’s Socialism. Charlatans in the Democrat Party are the No.1 enemy of the American Republic and Americans! Their methods are easily recognizable: lies, fraud, deceit, cheating, and alike identifying them as charlatans fooling, deceiving, corrupting, and inculcating decent people.

Unfortunately, the commentators on the Fox channel, which I constantly watch, have not read my books and columns, so they often make mistakes, interviewing the KGB agents as the source of the events, confusing their audience… But it is not their fault, because it was a corrupt FBI that submitted my name to the FISA court to make me a foreign agent and banned my writings. Applying logic, I would say that the crime against me had been done for the interest of Soviet Fascism not for the interest of the American Republic. Think about that. Who could’ve done that to deprive Americans to know the Truth about Russia to prevent the waste of billions, tons of human energy, and precious three years of time stolen from you?

I have to repeat: Charlatans in the Democrat Party are the No.1 enemy of the American Republic and Americans! For three or four decades the Dems have been soft on the Soviets. Today they opposed Trump’s national emergency declaration forty years later. The Dems will continue wasting your money, stealing you energy and time—trying to save their own hide. As a consequence of the softness, they gave time for Soviet Fascism to grow globally. Look at what is happening in the world—we are dealing now with the “Axis of Evil” under Russian umbrella and supervision. It is not Russia or China any longer—it is the “Axis of Evil.” Do you know that all problems of the world, especially immigration crises, are the symptoms, derived from the ideology of Soviet Fascism fighting for world domination? And the Dems continue to serve this menacing ideology—a global disease. …

Where is the Republican Party in all this?

Republicans have never been aggressive enough defending capitalism against the ideology of Soviet Fascism, fighting only at the margins of this ideology. The first thing for Republicans ought to do is fight the nucleus of the problem and call a spade a spade–the real name of the ideology is Soviet Fascism. The Republicans have to show how the Dems follow the ideology, they have a duty to educate Americans and the world in the aggressive, vicious, and merciless ideology of Soviet Fascism that is striving to take over the world by spreading a fraudulent Soviet Socialism globally. Larry Kudlow is right: we must expose, prosecute, defeat, and convict the ideology…

The Republican leadership has two immediate tasks:

To learn the ideology of Soviet Fascism and disseminate the knowledge among the American public.
To present to the public the work of Tom G. Palmer: The Morality of Capitalism.
Those two sources will expose the Dems’ Socialist mafia for what it really is and help Republicans to win the 2020 election.

My fellow Americans! God gave us this last chance to save our county—President Donald J. Trump! Don’t allow Dems’ Socialism to take over the American Republic. Fight the ideology of Soviet Fascism and save the legacy of our Founding Fathers and the American Republic!

Knowledge is Power! Good Luck my beloved America the Beautiful!

P.S. When I have already completed this column, Sunday, a sad news item got my attention; Boeing 737, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, crashed on Sunday shortly after takeoff, killing the 157 on board and raising questions about the safety of the aircraft model, the Boeing 737 Max 8. It is the second crash in two months. For me, the news could have some explanation and connection to a subject matter and a person discussed in this column. Somalia and Ethiopia have an ancient relation and a Muslim Rep. Omar is from Somalia. It is also possible that she was recruited in Somalia and the witnesses of that “must be liquidated” by Stalin/Andropov’s teachings… I have been writing about the KGB’s criminal methods in my several books: Read The Russian Factor

—“the dirty tricks, using plane crashes, to kill political adversaries started in Moscow in 1964 and has been going on since, especially by Moscow’s students. I have read lately that a strange plane crash occurred soon after a new government was elected in Argentina. Pay attention to

Argentina…! We are at war in WW III, and have been for many decades. Talking about the war against our country besides, arsons, sabotage, or orchestrated car and plane crashes, I have indicated three main targets of the Kremlin: the traditional American culture, the American capitalist economic system, and our intelligence, security, and law-enforcement agencies…” The Russian Factor, pp.167-205, Xlibris, 2006.

“It was President Carter who started the destruction of our security forces, and President Clinton completed it. They left us blind under attacks of vicious and merciless force, the former by his incompetence, the latter for political reasons. As a result, our security services cannot identify agents and operatives of foreign power that harm Americans every day in a variety of unpredictable ways: plane crashes, train derailments, arsons explosions, and many other criminal acts. …Fifty years ago an American patriot, Whittaker Chambers, had defined both culprits, the Communist Party and the KGB: ‘I became convinced that it was evil and a threat to Western civilization.’ …The Evil Empire may be dead, but not the evil that drove it—the Soviet mafia. Until this evil is exposed, there won’t be stability on our planet.” The Russian Factor, p. 149. I repeated this in my third book:

“As a result, our security services cannot identify agents and operatives of foreign power that harm Americans every day in a variety of unpredictable ways: plane crashes, train derailments, arsons explosions, and many other criminal acts. …Fifty years ago an American patriot, Whittaker Chambers, had defined both culprits, the Communist Party and the KGB: ‘I became convinced that it was evil and a threat to Western civilization.’

What is Happening to America? The Hidden Truth of Global Destruction, p238, Xlibris, 2012

Now you have answers to two questions:

a) why I renamed Soviet Socialism to Soviet Fascism, and

b) why the corrupt FBI has been banning my writings since 2002…
