Sharifa Alkhateeb

Below is a C-SPAN video from 1989 taken at a conference hosted by the Islamic Society of North America featuring Sharifa Alkhateeb, a Muslim educator. In the video Alkhateeb shares the ultimate goal of Muslim education in America.

Alkhateeb states the objective of Muslim education in America is to make all of America Muslim.

According to Discover the Networks:

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was established in July 1981 by U.S-based members of the Muslim Brotherhood who also had a background as leaders of the Muslim Students Association (MSA). As author and terrorism expert Steven Emerson puts it, ISNA “grew out of the Muslim Students Association, which … was founded by Brotherhood members.” Indeed, Muslim Brothers would dominate ISNA’s leadership throughout its early years, when the Society was highly dependent upon Saudi funding. ISNA’s founding mission was “to advance the cause of Islam and serve Muslims in North America so as to enable them to adopt Islam as a complete way of life.”

On October 29, 2016 the Independent Sentinel reported:

Sharifa Alkhateeb was a friend of Huma Abedin’s and Hillary Clinton’s but she died of cancer in 2004. She referred to herself as a feminist and was an advocate for establishing Muslim culture in America and making America Muslim. She encouraged other Muslims to have patience setting up “our own Islam systems” and to think of all Americans as potential Muslims.

An active member of the Muslim Students Association in the 1960s, she last served as president of the North American Council for Muslim Women in northern Virginia. Both organizations are tied to Hamas.

[ … ]

She worked with US Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to allegedly forge ties with other religious communities.

Alkhateeb was born and reared in the United States by immigrant parents–her father is from Yemen and her mother is from Czechoslovakia.

Hillary invited her to the White House in 1999 for a NARA conference when she was first lady. The event was organized by Huma Abedin.

During her address, Hillary said: “Sharifa Alkhateeb of the North American Council for Muslim Women has been largely responsible for working with the White House staff in bringing us here. As many of you may know, Sharifa was the chair of the Muslim Caucus in Beijing in 1995. And she is also a great friend to me and to my staff for many, many occasions when we call upon her for advice and counsel. And I am pleased that once again she could be so helpful, both on her own behalf and on behalf of the Council in helping us out.”

Muslim education has become standardized in public school textbooks, in America’s college and university departments of Middle East studies. Alkhateeb’s vision is bearing fruit today as American children are being indoctrinated to embrace Islam and become followers of Mohammed.

God is Alive in Cuba!

/in , , , /by

Catholic Church located in the Plaza de San Francisco in Havana, Cuba.

I wrote a column titled My Visit to Cuba — An American in Havana about my recent trip to Havana, Cuba.

As a Catholic I was most interested in the state of the Catholic Church in Cuba. While walking and riding a taxi in Havana I noticed dozens of Catholic Churches within walking distance of the Capitol building. While the Capitol building was under renovation, the Catholic Churches, in general, were in a sad state of disrepair on the outside but remained beautiful if not magnificent on the inside. Is this a message from God? Is God alive in Cuba?

Before the June 26th, 1953 Revolution 85% of Cubans were Catholics. Since then the work of the Catholic Church has been replaced by the Communist government. But the Communist government is continually failing its people, so who has stepped into the breach to fill the needs of the most needy, the followers of Jesus.

The God of Abraham and His Son Jesus, have been battling Cuba’s Communist Party for over 50 years.

During my visit to Cuba I noticed many women wearing necklaces with either a Crucifix or a wooden cross. The people still believe, it is their belief that keeps them alive and living with hope. They have the faith that God is testing them and His word and grace will protect them, no matter what they suffer thru in His name.

The Atlantic’s Jason Berry in a September 2015 article titled How the Catholic Church Survived in Cuba wrote:

More than five decades ago, Fidel Castro’s revolution triggered the sweeping seizure of Catholic Church properties in Cuba.

In one expropriation, someone decapitated the statue of Santo Tomás de Villanueva outside the chapel of the Havana university named for the saint. As the Cuban regime turned Villanueva into a trade school, the headless statue became an eerie symbol for a church shorn of influence. Graffiti scarred the walls of the decaying chapel.

“The Villanueva statue has been headless since 1963,” said Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami, who has steered aid to the Cuban Church for years. But the larger body of the Roman Catholic Church in Cuba has endured and, recently, grown stronger, despite the combination of careless neglect and open hostility it has suffered under communism.

Berry noted, “Across the island [of Cuba], bishops, priests, nuns, and lay workers operate Cuba’s de-facto social safety net, which the cash-strapped government, whose revolution was founded on egalitarian principles, cannot deliver for all disabled, elderly, and impoverished Cubans.”

The Sarasota Baptist Church located in Sarasota, Florida is doing its part to bring God back into a godless Cuba. Christians strongly believe in Acts 1:8 which reads:

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

In order to “be my witnesses…to the ends of the earth” the Sarasota Baptist Church sent a mission to Cuba from April 29th to May 6th, 2017. Another Baptist Church, First Sarasota has made it their mission to establish a seminary and now has 60 Baptist congregations in Cuba.

First 50 Syrian families head home to ‘safe zone’ in Syria….

/in , , , , /by

….And, it has nothing to do with any Trump Administration plans. Other actors have stepped in to begin to make it happen and as the story tells us, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees had no comment.

Before critics jump in, it should be none of our business if these families want to put their lives in the hands of Hezbollah, it is not our role (or the UN’s!) to play the papa and tell them where to live and what to do with their lives (which is a large part of the psychology that drives refugee resettlement—the ‘we know what’s good for you’ mentality!).

From Lebanon’s Daily Star (hat tip: Joanne)

BEIRUT: Dozens of refugee families returned to Aasal al-Ward in southern Syria after leaving the Lebanese border town of Arsal over the weekend as part of a deal brokered by Hezbollah and Syrian rebel factions.

Photo accompanying Daily Star story.

The Lebanese Army said in a statement that 30 civilian vehicles carrying an estimated 50 families departed from the northern Lebanese town in the early hours of Saturday and a military escort accompanied them until the last military checkpoint.

According to the Army statement, the move was undertaken in response to a “keen interest of the families” to return to their homeland. Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV circulated a video Sunday depicting the Syrian families celebrating their return to their hometown.

Local media estimated that 50 families chose to leave Lebanon for Syria Saturday. A total of 500 families are expected to relocate following negotiations earlier this year to establish small safe zones for civilians in the Qalamoun region, brokered by Hezbollah.

A security source in the town of Arsal told The Daily Star Saturday that the return of dozens of displaced families was the result of behind-the-scenes negotiations between Hezbollah and the Syrian regime on one hand, and armed factions present in the area on the other.

The United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, had no comment when contacted Sunday evening.

There is more, but you may have to subscribe to get it.

Truth be told, most ‘refugees’ just want to go home and that should be our number one goal—to get them there—not move them around the world like pieces on a chessboard.

Americas LOST Generations

/in , , , , , /by

As millions of Americans scratch their heads trying to make sense of anything they see going on in America today, the answer may be easier than they think. Truth will set us free, but no one said it would be fun or politically correct. To be very clear, when I say “lost,” I mean unsalvageable.

America is more ideologically divided than at any point in history and the two opposing ideologies are entrenched in their positions, unable to change or even communicate with each other. Contrary to popular theory, facts are not subjective. But the facts also have very little to do with individual ideological beliefs.

It is undeniable that at all times in history, the state of our government is a mirror image of the country at large. But it is a mirror image of those born 25-50 years earlier, the group in political and private power at any given time. Generational datelines can shift slightly one direction or another, but the datelines offered here are as close to reality as it gets.

Much has been written about America’s “Greatest Generation,” those born between 1901-1924. The Greatest Generation is a term made popular by journalist Tom Brokaw to describe the generation who grew up in the United States during the deprivation of the Great Depression, and then went on to fight in World Wars, as well as those whose productivity within the war’s home front made a decisive material contribution to the war effort, for which the generation is also termed the G.I. Generation.

The Greatest Generation was not born great… They were raised to be great and forced to become great under pressure as a result of socio-economic conditions and global conflicts of their time. They grew up in tough circumstances and were forced to become tough as a result.

Unfortunately, now we must discuss America’s “Lost Generations,” those born between 1963-1993, today, ages 24-54. Before discussing the majority in this group, I must state for the record that there are exceptions to every general rule. Not every American born during this period is “ideologically lost.”

In this case, the exception to the rule pertains to those who were born and raised in a traditional family home, with both parents engaged in the parenting process and almost without exception, raised with some form of moral code and sense of fundamental decency. However, this is a minority within this age group due to the increasing divorce rate and two income households, the latch-key era, wherein children were often raised by the community rather than their parents.

American conservatives tend to be those born sometime prior to 1963, before the 60s peaceniks started giving birth to their generation. The era of free sex, drugs and rock-n-roll produced the “lost generations” that no sane individual can understand or communicate with today. Within the broader group born between 1963-1993 – we find the “millennials,” born 1983-1993, now age 23-33.

Rather than further discussing exceptions to the rule, we should look much closer at the lost generation-and-a-half (1963-1993) responsible for all of the insanity we see in our country and around the globe today.

THE FIRST LOST GENERATION

The first lost generation in America are those born between 1963-1983. These are the children of the 60s revolutionaries who saw America as a horrible imperialist conqueror of nations, a popularized view which began with the anti-war campaign in opposition to U.S. military involvement in Vietnam. That view was perpetuated well beyond Vietnam and persists within this generation still today in a popularized objection to the use of military or law enforcement actions anywhere, for any reason.

The children raised by anti-American revolutionaries are today’s revolutionaries responsible for violent and destructive acts across the country, wherein they believe that rioting is a form of protected free speech, even as they violently work to silence the free speech of their ideological opposition groups.

The mind-bending that this generation was subjected to growing up now manifests itself in increasingly violent anti-American revolts against all things fundamentally American.

The vast majority of this generation exhibits a psychological condition known as transmarginal inhibition (TMI). Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov is well-known for his acclaimed studies in animal behavior and dog training. But his much more critical work was in his similar study of human behavior and conditioning, or conditioning, which he proved to be identical in nature to that of basic animal behavior.

Pavlov identified the three stages of transmarginal inhibition –

Stage 1 – equivalent phase: when the response matches the stimuli, which is considered the

normal baseline behavior.

Stage 2 – paradoxical phase: associated with quantity reversal, occurs when small stimuli receive major responses and major stimuli elicit small responses.

Stage 3- the final stage – ultra-paradoxical: the final stage, associated with quality reversal in which negative stimulation results in positive responses and vice versa.

“The significance of the paradoxical phase is not limited to pathological states such as those previously observed, and it is highly probable that it plays a part in normal men too, who often are apt to be much more influenced by words than by actual facts of surrounding reality.” – Ivan Pavlov

“Pavlov demonstrated that when Transmarginal Inhibition began to take over a dog, a condition similar to hysteria in a human manifested. The applications of these findings to human psychology suggest that for a “conversion” to be effective, it is necessary to work on the subject’s emotions until s/he reaches an abnormal condition of fear, anger or exaltation. If such a state is maintained or intensified by any of various means, hysteria is the result. In a state of hysteria, a human being is abnormally suggestible and influences in the environment can cause one set of behavior patterns to be replaced by another without any need for persuasive indoctrination. In states of fear and excitement, normally sensible human beings will accept the most wildly improbably suggestions.” (SOURCE)

In essence, this conditioning turns the subject’s world upside-down. As we watch college kids act out in violence as they call for peace – act in racist fashion while protesting racism – destroy property while complaining about trashing the planet and behaving like fascists while protesting fascism – we search for reasons why the world view children seems 180-degress upside-down and entirely backwards. Even in the face of massive ongoing Islamic terror everywhere, they fight on behalf of Islam.

Individuals in stages 1 and 2 can be reached, with a great amount of effort to drum lies out of them and the truth in. But once an individual reaches stage 3, they cannot be reached. Their world is entirely inside-out. Their reaction to truth and fact at this stage will be to shut down or resort to violent behavior to defend their belief system. The “shut down” is the key indicator that someone has reached stage 3.

The answer to why we see these extremely odd behaviors is complex, but not at all complicated. They have been conditioned to behave in this manner and they are completely unaware of just how backwards their world really is, to any sane person. In fact, they are incapable of ever seeing or understanding. They are past the point of no return – they are unreachable – hence my use of the term “lost generation.”

As former KGB agent and Russian defector Yuri Bezmenov explained in great detail in a 1984 live interview, none of this is accidental or a coincidence. (The entire interview here) Of course, those effected by the slow programming are entirely unaware and resistant to the notion that they have been programmed. Only those who have not been programmed can see the programming.

According to Bezmenov, the four steps to “winning the hearts and minds” of an entire country are as follows;

  1. Destroy Moral Foundations
  2. Re-educate the young “mush minds” (20-year process)
  3. Teach the young to yearn for Marxism under an acceptable terminology (progressive)
  4. Move the conditioned into political and economic power

Part of that programming includes conditioning that prevents the programmed person from ever accepting the reality that they have been programmed. Instead, they believe that everyone else has been programmed. As a result, anything that challenges their belief system at all will be immediately rejected out of hand without any consideration whatsoever.

In this group, there are two sub-groups, those in stage 1 or 2 of transmarginal inhibition and those who have reached stage 3. Stage 3 members of the 1963-1993 group are beyond the reach of fact or reason. They are very dangerous to themselves and others.

Those in stage 1 or 2 of this group often experience something called cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort (psychological stress) experienced by a person who simultaneously holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values. They were raised in a good family home and were instilled with good fundamental values, but were later introduced to and influenced by family outsiders and now struggle internally with the two divergent belief systems.

This condition can often cause symptoms similar to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). They simply cannot choose between the two divergent belief systems and are caught between the two, usually materializing in great turmoil and conflict between themselves and their closest loved ones.

Yuri Beznenov refers to this group as “drop-outs and half-baked intellectuals” otherwise known as “useful idiots.” Beznenov is correct, this group is beyond salvation or redemption.

THE HALF-GENERATION ALSO LOST

The half-generation, the millennials, born between 1983-1993, are the children of the lost generation born between 1963-1993, including the millennials in this timeline. Had only millennials voted in the 2016 election, the outcome of that election would have looked like this…

Because the millennials are projected to be the single largest voting bloc in upcoming elections, future election results could look exactly like this, unless we reach the reachable, the millennials. Dealing with this group can be a challenge, but very rewarding.

The totally lost generation, a majority born between 1963-1983, are unreachable. They exist in stage 3 (ultra-paradoxical) and are responsible for all of the damage done to this country. They are the “global Marxists” who saddled the millennials and all future generations with trillions in debt and have stolen their future in the process. Parents of the millennials are the “lost generation” that we can only ignore or retire.

However, a majority of the millennials themselves can be saved. An increasing number are beginning to figure out the hellish future that is theirs, thanks to the generation before them.

There is little time, but there is time to reach the millennials and younger generations. It’s a fact that people my age and older are America’s past. These kids are Americas future… they must be reached and they can be reached.

HOW TO REACH THE REACHABLE

At the foundation of Pavlov’s findings is the reality that all living organism must eat. Pavlov called it the “daily bread” theory. Control the “daily bread” and you can control the organism, be it plant, animal or human.

The effort to “fundamentally transform America” into something it should never be, has been done by a multitude of strategic initiatives, not the least of which is a form of mass mind control. Watch the Beznenov interview again…

The mind is like a digital recorder with unlimited storage capacity. But it only records data being pushed in its direction. Today, massive amounts of data are being forced in through every channel – music, movies, TV, fake news, politicians, video games, social media, formal education and even church. You almost never see a kid who isn’t on their smart-phone no matter the time of day or night.

We know who controls all of these data venues today and we know exactly what data is being pumped into these kid’s digital recorder, their minds. Because we also know that the way to transform (control) any society is to “control their daily bread,” or their daily diet of data, we know that to reach these kids, we have no choice but to cut off the flow of that data. Simply stated, junk in means that you will only get junk out…

Because we do not control the venues of mass data flow into the minds of our young, we must control their access to it. Before their minds can record anything good, we must stop the pumping of bad data from other sources. We have to “parent” again.

The way out is the same as the way in… Based upon Bezmenov interview

  1. Reverse mass demoralization – Before you can convince an entire society that up is down and down is up, you must first remove the moral absolutes. To turn the world right-side-up again, you must return to moral absolutes. Remember that the global mind-controllers had to destroy the church first. The church is not a safe haven in America today.
  2. Reverse exposure to anti-American programming – stop the pumping of Marxism into the minds of our youth. Like an empty glass on the table, when we force water (truth) in, we are forcing air (lies) out.
  3. Reverse the un-education system – End public sector union control over the public education system and replace false educational materials with truthful education materials designed to raise a decent society of free adults rather than lifelong slaves of the federal government.
  4. Drain the political swamp – The individuals born 1963-1983 are the people currently in political and private power today. Their destructive nature is the result of their upbringing in youth. They are entrenched in that belief system and cannot be turned around. They simply must be removed from the equation and replaced by a new generation of pro-American leaders grounded in American principles, values and ideas.

Who should do it?

All of us who know that a mass deprogramming must be done. We must do it within our own families, our local churches and schools, local, state and federal government and reach outward to our communities and entire society.

Face it… everyone is a “patriot” today until you mention words like “action” – “solution” or call upon them to get up and do anything. Most wait for someone else to do it, which is why it never gets done.

But as has always been the case, the future of our country rests in the hands of its people, those willing to take appropriate action. The future of this country depends entire upon our ability and willingness to reach the reachable. Do it now, or our country will soon be lost forever.

Religious Protection Gone Wild

/in , , , /by

The First Amendment guarantees Americans the freedom of religion in the “establishment” clause:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Words matter, so the first question that must be answered is a matter of definition. What is religion?

The dictionary defines religion as:

  1. The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
  2. A particular system of faith and worship.
  3. A pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes superhuman importance.

Dictionaries have been used for centuries to help codify the meaning of words in an attempt to make language useful. Without accepted specific meanings for words it is impossible to communicate through language effectively. Language is the common denominator of speech. Even biblical stories express the importance of the meaning of words as they are understood or misunderstood in any language. The most famous example is the biblical story of The Tower of Babel that begins with everyone on Earth speaking the same language and able to understand each other. Whether the scattering of people around the world was a punishment for hubris or not, the consequence was that people began speaking different languages and could no longer understand each other.

But what happens when people speaking the same language no longer understand each other because they interpret the meaning of the same words differently? That is the situation we are facing in contemporary American society today.

The second question that must be answered is a matter of interpretation. What does religion mean to you?

Thomas Jefferson wrote eloquently on the subject in an 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists who worried about their minority status in Connecticut. Jefferson was reassuring the Baptists that being a minority religion would not be a problem in a Protestant majority state as far as the federal government was concerned.

“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof’, thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.”(Wikipedia)

Jefferson’s letter clearly indicates that for Jefferson, religion was a matter of Man and God. Jefferson’s interpretation was the widely accepted and understood view of religion in the early 18th century. By the 20th century the U.S. Supreme Court “incorporated” the Establishment Clause and expanded its application from the federal government to the state governments as well.

The practical application of the freedom of religion also requires a uniform understanding of the meaning and interpretation of the word religion. The Exercise Clause clarifies the supremacy of Constitutional laws and freedoms over religious laws and freedoms. This is particularly important in contemporary America because we are facing “religious” practices of Islam that threaten our Constitutional freedoms.

The Free Exercise Clause distinguishes between religions beliefs and religious practices. It is the equivalence of distinguishing between thinking and doing. In America an individual is free to think murderous thoughts but he is not free to murder. Islam is a religion governed by religious Sharia Law that endorses honor killings, female genital mutilation, murder of apostates, murder of homosexuals, wife beatings, child marriage and pedophilia. American jurisaprudence does not have the will or authority to change people’s beliefs whether they are citizens of the United States, guests in this country, here illegally, or citizens of other countries, but we most certainly have the right and legal obligation to disallow any and all practices in conflict with the U.S. Constitution and our cultural norms. Free Exercise Clause (Wikipedia)

“Freedom of religion means freedom to hold an opinion or belief, but not to take action in violation of social duties or subversive to good order.”[28] In Reynolds v. United States (1878), the Supreme Court found that while laws cannot interfere with religious belief and opinions, laws can be made to regulate some religious practices (e.g., human sacrifices, and the Hindu practice of suttee). The Court stated that to rule otherwise, “would be to make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land, and in effect permit every citizen to become a law unto himself. Government would exist only in name under such circumstances.”[29] In Cantwell v. Connecticut (1940), the Court held that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applied the Free Exercise Clause to the states. While the right to have religious beliefs is absolute, the freedom to act on such beliefs is not absolute.

In Jefferson’s time as in Truman’s time the meaning of the word religion was understood as items 1 and 2:

  1. The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
  2. A particular system of faith and worship.

Seventy years later in 2017 we must reconsider the meaning of the word religion and ask the question What is Islam?

Islam is not a religion like Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, or Judaism. Islam is a unified supremacist socio-political system with a military wing and a religious wing. Islam is governed by religious sharia law. The goal of Islam since the 7th century is to make the world Islamic and impose sharia law worldwide.

Islam is tyrannical in its demand for conformity to its barbaric sharia laws. Islam is intolerant. Islam is a political force seeking world dominion and cannot be allowed religious protections like the Baptists in Connecticut during Jefferson’s times.

Islam is far more like the Nazis during Hitler’s time. Consider this question. What if Hitler declared Nazism to be a religion. It certainly qualifies as a religion according to Item 3. A pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes superhuman importance.

If Adolph Hitler declared his Nazism a religion would the left-wing liberal apologists for Islam defend Nazism and its determination to rule the world and rid the Earth of every Jew? Would the lefty-wing liberals declare murder of Jews protected by religious freedom? How is this different from allowing Muslims to perpetrate honor killings, female genital mutilation, murder of apostates, murder of homosexuals, wife beatings, child marriage, and pedophilia.

There is no difference.

If, as apologists for Islamic barbarity claim, Islamists have perverted their religion – then it is also true that they have perverted our concept of religious freedom. Islam is not a religion like any other and its savage practices do not deserve protection under our religious freedom laws and the free exercise clause.

Islam Is The Enemy

/in , , , , /by

Islam is the enemy.

Apparently these four words are the most difficult for anyone in elected positions to utter, yet they hold the key to victory over an entrenched adversary who intends to destroy our way of life.

Those Americans who understand the necessity of honestly naming the enemy are increasingly frustrated by the willful blindness on the part of leadership to address an indisputable Islamic strategy of global conquest. This blindness thus handicaps the majority of elected officials and their advisors. No wonder we see them stumbling in the dark trying to find politically correct adjectives so as not to offend the liberals, establishment, and Muslim advocacy groups.

When Islam is not named as the enemy, it results in the placement of Muslims and others complicit and/or ignorant of their doctrine into sensitive jobs. Some of these jobs actually entail overseeing what is acceptable training for our law enforcement and military. One weighty example was when John Brennan took advice from a Muslim woman, Ms. Farhana Khera, regarding specific training given to those groups just mentioned.

Ms. Khera, president and executive of Muslim Advocates, wrote a letter to Brennan who was then the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism and Deputy National Security Advisor to Obama. In the letter, dated October 19, 2011, she proceeded to lay out all the “offensive” material the FBI and military trainers were using, and demanded they be purged.

Fifty-seven Muslim groups signed Khera’s letter, the same number of members in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). This is probably no coincidence; but, someone would have to understand the Islamic movement to recognize it. Those working to undermine our Constitution in order to pave the way for a Caliphate don’t normally act randomly, but with purpose.

Brennan obliged Khera like a dutiful subordinate, and purged what any rational person would agree to be factual teaching, not biased, false, or offensive. If the material had been allowed to remain within law enforcement and military training, it would have undoubtedly saved American lives.

Obviously leadership that goes along with the Islamic Movement narratives, don’t seem to do any homework on Islam itself, or they wholly are in line with its objectives of subversion. See John Brennan’s response to Khera here.

Some objections of Khera were quotes in an Army Command and General Staff College report dated May 21, 2009, which states:

“Moderate Muslims are not exercising moderation; they are simply applying other means to accomplish the same goal of establishing global Islamic dominance.”

And, “Islamic doctrine is based upon the establishment of its culture in dominance of all others. In essence, all other cultures must not only accept, but convert or submit, to Islam.”

The Koran 9:29 proves those statements have relevance as it states,

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

And in Koran 60:4, which was used by Bin Laden to remind other Muslims what their relationship should be with non-Muslims, or infidels says,

“We renounce you. Enmity and hate shall forever reign between us-till you believe in Allah alone.”

Few elected officials, like Senator Ted Cruz, have educated themselves on these issues. He presided over a Subcommittee on Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts in June of 2016, called, “Willful Blindness: Consequences of Agency Efforts to Deemphasize Radical Islam in Combating Terrorism.”

“Willful Blindness,” was taken from the title of a book by Andrew McCarthy, federal prosecutor and lead investigator of the Blind Sheik, Omar Abdel Rahman. McCarthy sat on the panel of expert witnesses.

The description of the hearing included the qualifier, “radical,” even though McCarthy’s work revealed to him that these mastermind terrorists were simply following Islamic doctrine, not some bastardized version. Strangely enough, in addition to McCarthy and notable others on the panel, was the very Ms. Khera who had written the infamous letter that was largely responsible for the cleansing of factual training necessary to understand our enemies.

“Radical”, “extreme”, and other words used to describe Islam allow for an established premise.  The premise is based on an assumption that something in Islamic doctrine is being hijacked, or used against its original intent. However, this is not so. For instance, the Koran has over one hundred verses advocating violence against non-Muslims or kaffirs. Muslims are to behave just like Mohammad did, and follow their doctrinal books to the letter, which necessarily places them in the category of our enemy.

How can we rely upon leadership to make the right decisions for America when they are uninformed, willfully blind, to the threat Islam poses to our free Republic?

There are brave counter terrorism experts who’ve researched and studied this threat – why won’t our elected representatives (at all levels of government) accept their assistance rather than relying on the afore mentioned Islamic advocacy groups?

These experts spend their lives studying this enemy and desire to protect our Constitution, something authentic Muslims are working directly to undermine. Any reasonable person briefed on the reality of Islam has no other choice but to come to the conclusion that Islam is the enemy.

Courtney Love calls out Linda Sarsour: ‘You’re a vile disgrace to women and all mankind’

/in , , , /by

At last, someone who is on the cultural Left calls out this pro-Sharia anti-Semite — in this case, for making money off a fake hate crime.

“Courtney Love Rips Linda Sarsour: ‘Vile Disgrace to Women and All Mankind,’” by Charlie Nash, Breitbart, June 7, 2017:

Musician and alternative icon Courtney Love has blasted anti-Donald Trump Women’s March leader and Muslim activist Linda Sarsour, calling her a “vile disgrace to women and all mankind” in a message on social media Wednesday.

“You’re a vile disgrace to women and all mankind [Linda Sarsour],” posted Love, the former partner of the late Nirvana musician Kurt Cobain, before engaging in an argument with Women’s March social media head Alyssa Klein.

“Linda is the kindest, most generous, most incredible woman I know. She makes me proud to be a woman. I am forever proud to be her sister,” responded Klein, prompting Love to reply “Well that’s a shame, count me out of anything else related to her. Shes a fraud.”

Sarsour quickly responded to Love’s post, commenting “[Courtney Love is] trying to make a name for herself amongst Trump supporters I guess. Denying a woman justice who was brutally beaten.”

Another Women’s March activist also attacked Love, accusing her of directing hate “at a woman of color and feminist leader.”

Sarsour, a prominent Palestinian activist, has frequently praised Sharia law and Saudi Arabia, attempting to convince the public that women’s rights in the Middle East are better than in the United States.

In 2011, Sarsour also expressed her desire to “take the vagina away” from Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an ex-Muslim activist and a victim of female genital mutilation.

“I wish I could take their vaginas away,” Sarsour declared, referencing Ayaan Hirsi Ali and ACT for America founder Brigitte Gabriel for their criticism of Islam. “They don’t deserve to be women.”

According to Alex VanNess, director of the Middle East Peace & Security Project at Secure Freedom, Sarsour “also has a long history of criticizing Israel in ways that cross the line into anti-Semitism and terrorist sympathizing.”…

NSA leaker Reality Winner sympathized with bin Laden and Taliban

/in , , , , /by

She isn’t a jihadist. She is just a Useful Idiot. Clearly these sympathies indicate that she hates President Trump, and would do anything she could to make his administration look bad.

Reality Winner mug shot.

“‘I want to burn the White House down’: NSA leaker Reality Winner, 25, is DENIED bail as prosecutors claim she may have stolen more top secret information, was fascinated with Islamic terrorism and planned to play the ‘pretty, white girl’ card in court,” by Louise Boyle, Regina F. Graham and Liam Quinn, Dailymail.com, June 9, 2017:

Reality Winner portrayed little emotion in court Thursday as she was denied bond in her federal espionage case after the government alleged that she may have stolen other top secret information and poses an ongoing risk to national security.

The Air Force veteran, 25, is accused of mailing a classified report on a Russian military intelligence cyber-attack in 2016 to a news website.

She entered a plea of not guilty before Judge Brian K. Epps at U.S. District Court in downtown Augusta, Georgia on Thursday afternoon after she was charged with a single count of ‘willful retention and transmission of national defense information’….

The prosecution stated that Winner had a fascination with the Middle East and Islamic terrorism.

The government claimed that they had found handwritten notes during a search at Winner’s home which appeared to sympathize with Osama bin Laden and other terrorists.

Authorities claim another handwritten statement found during a search of Winner’s home allegedly read: ‘I want to burn the White House down and go live in Kurdistan.’

Prosecutors said in recorded jailhouse calls that Winner told her mother how to play her side of the story in the media.

They also said in a phone call she made to her sister that she was confident in how to ‘play the court’ during her bond hearing.

‘I’m pretty, white and cute,’ she allegedly told her sister. Prosecutors said Winner told her sister she would braid her hair and cry in court….

Winner’s notes allegedly contained sympathetic statements on Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader, Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour, and referenced going to live in a number of countries including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal and Mexico. Solari said that Winner had taken a three-day trip to Belize last month and had researched travelling from Atlanta to Tel Aviv in September 2017.

Solari also said that in recorded conversations from jail, Winner had told her mother to ‘play that angle’ with the press that she had been afraid for her life when FBI agents arrested her at her home. In a separate call she also told her sister that she would ‘go out and play the cute, blonde white girl. Braid my hair, going to cry.’…

Gays angry Trump won’t recognize LGBT pride month but McDonald’s does

/in , , , , /by

By Rodney Pelletier.

Meanwhile, McDonald’s introduces gay pride “rainbow fries.”

June has been commandeered by activists as “LGBT Pride month,” using it as an opportunity to celebrate sodomy. A new presidential administration, however, has yet to give it credence.

Three McDonald’s restaurants along the parade route for Washington, D.C.’s gay pride parade are celebrating homosexuality by featuring rainbow graphics on their french fry containers. They are offering the “rainbow fries” for a limited time during the weekend of June 8–11.

McDonald’s has been a supporter of the LGBT agenda for years, donating money to pro-gay organizations and causes. The corporation has even featured a commercial where a son reveals to his father, “I like boys.” A number of customers have already written McDonald’s pledging to boycott the franchise if it continues wading into controversial social issues.

Target, despite losing billions of dollars in revenue after embracing transgender politics by allowing men in women’s bathrooms, has continued to push sodomy by featuring rainbow-colored clothing and promoting the hashtag #TakePride.

Walmart is another corporation that endorses and promotes homosexuality, even being one of the big donors to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund that promotes the election of openly homosexual local politicians. Other donors include AT&T, Comcast, Microsoft and Toyota.

Other corporations openly embracing so-called same-sex marriage are online shopping behemoth Amazon and Starbucks, which has more than 21,000 stores throughout the world and has grossed over $16 billion in revenue. In 2016, it advertised its 97 locations in Seattle as “LGBT Safe Spaces.”

The U.S. government, typically pro-LGBT since Barack Obama took the presidency in 2008, seems to be wavering in its support of sodomy. Homosexual activists are reportedly “deeply troubled” that President Donald Trump has not yet signed a proclamation recognizing June as LGBT Pride month, something Obama had done every year since 2011.

The U.S. Navy has gone forward, however, and declared LGBT Pride month without any prompting from Trump or the Pentagon. The move is unsurprising since the Navy announced in 2016 it would be naming one of its ships after homosexual activist, politician and sexual predator Harvey Milk.

The Obama administration began the “gaying of the military” by repealing President Bill Clinton’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, which forbade open homosexuals from serving in the military. In 2016, the Senate unanimously approved the appointment of open homosexual Eric Fanning to the highest civilian office as Secretary of the Army.

The same year so-called transgenders were allowed to serve openly in the U.S. armed forces, officers were forced to undergo transgender re-education in order to implement the Obama administration’s plans.

June is the month homosexual activists have chosen to publicly promote sodomy and all forms of same-sex behavior in commemoration of the Stonewall riots that occurred at the Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969, in Greenwich Village, New York. The first gay pride parades occurred the following year in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The Hatching of a Serpent — Part 1 by Jim Dick

/in , , , , /by

We’re changing it up a bit. I’m drinking my regular cup or two of BRC, Beyond Black, and asking you to just go ahead and start brewing an entire pot. You’re going to need it after this. We expect you to fact check and research these little nuggets that we are about to bestow upon you. It is time that we start talking about the people who want nothing more than to see our country; the greatest on earth; be torn apart, and degraded to the point of insignificance. We start, with one of the evilest people on the planet. One that is overt in his efforts to shit on us and wipe his ass with our constitution. I have taken personal interest to the topic of today’s post which we will cover more in depth in future articles. We cannot possibly cover in depth everything in one article. Our objective for this is to paint the picture of a United States of America if some were left to their druthers. We have descriptive information supporting everything we write, none of it is pulled from other blogs or fake news sources. We invite you to fact check and do your own research. Some of what you are about to read will not surprise you, some…will.

“It is sort of the disease when you consider yourself some kind of God, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” – George Soros, The Independent, “The billionaire who built on chaos.” 3 June 1993.

Hatching of a Serpent

Soros was born George Schwartz in 1930. His father, Tividar Schwartz was a Jewish lawyer with strong globalist leanings. He was an active proponent of Esperanto (Esperanto is language created in 1887 by LL Salmonoff for transcending national borders and overcoming the natural indifference of mankind.) In 1936, while Adolf Hitler was hosting the Olympic Games in Berlin, Tividar changed the family name to Soros; that, in Esperanto translates to “will soar.” The Nazi occupation of Hungary being imminent, Tividar fled with his family leaving George with a German family friend. It was during the Nazi occupation of Hungary in 1944 that Soros reportedly went to work for the Nazis seizing property from his fellow Jews in the local population at a ripe age of 14. During a 1998 interview with 60 minutes, Soros described the year he worked for the Nazis as “the happiest time of my life.” During the same interview, Soros expressed no remorse for seizing Jewish property.It was his view that if it hadn’t been him, it would have been someone else profiting from the property.

Across Europe, we’re witnessing a manifestation of a George Soros 30-year plan. I am speaking of the refugee-immigrant crisis (yes, it is a crisis) that has Germany, Sweden, France, Belgium and the United Kingdom in its inexorable clutches. Through his Open Society Foundation and a myriad of other NGOs (nongovernmental organization), Soros’ plan is to create chaos and destabilize government through social unrest all with the desired endstate to turn a profit. To achieve his vision of a one world government, destabilization must be at the forefront of priorities with super douche (Soros) at the helm. Make no mistake, this isn’t his first time directing this type of traffic. Soros, through his NGOs and liberal puppets, created the social chaos that sacked Central America in the 80s and 90s, only to profit from government seizures via natural resources and private businesses who were not “in line” with his ideals.

Post War World War

With World War II over, Soros emigrated to England in 1947 and became a student at the London school of economics. He was mentored by Karl Popper, and Austrian -British philosopher who was an outspoken proponent of an “Open Society.” During this time, Soros worked at several London merchant banks until he moved to New York in 1963. Seven years later, he created Soros Fund Management and by 1973 he was partnered with an investor named Jim Rogers to create the Quantum Fund. This fund made annual returns of over 30% becoming the base of Soros’ financial power. Using this newfound wealth and power, Soros began betting against national economies. In 1992 he short sold the pound sterling and made a billion-dollar profit in a single day of trading. Again in 97, Soros targeted the Thai baht by short selling it in volume. This destroyed the baht’s artificial tie to the US dollar which started the Asian financial crisis. Soros’ vision of a “New World Government” started to shape into priority number one in his mind, which spawned the commissioning of the NGO shells.

20th Century

The 80’s and 90’s were unique to the planet as it was. In the 90’s, Soros used his vast wealth and NGOs to fund revolutions and/or social unrest deep within Central America and Eastern Europe. Ole Georgie poo didn’t stand up on his own pulpit and rally formidable citizens, like Hitler, Stalin or Hussain did during their reigns. He didn’t organize hit squads like the SS or Uday and Qusay’s goons; he used propaganda. Creating adversarial political parties, publishing houses, and independent media outlets. All of which paid for under the auspices of his Open Society Foundation and dozens of other NGOs under its umbrella. As massive social unrest was being created, Soros would invest heavily in countries’ currencies. Soros’ NGOs would then have “experts” push to privatize all public assets immediately to create a cash flow to stabilize a collapsing economy. The NGOs would then begin supporting the social unrest. Soros and his goons would soon then sell off the assets he purchased for pennies on the dollar and finally, short selling the nation’s currency leaving it weakened at best, collapsed at worst. Soros’ Open Society Foundation has an active network in over one hundred countries. They never stop fomenting social unrest in every region of the globe, including the United States as seen in recent past. This concept has been stirring around in the minds of socialists, Soros is past the pen and paper phase of his planning cycle.

Creating Chaos

Soros’s net worth is currently over $23 billion which is the single greatest funding source for his NGOs. He has spent approximately $14 billion in creating these non-governmental organizations and promoting far left-wing initiatives. The Open Society Foundation was formed in 1993 which was the conduit in his efforts to destabilize Central America and Eastern European governments by tanking their currencies. Czechoslovakia, Croatia, and Yugoslavia saw Soros NGOs funnel directly to political opposition parties, and propagandizing mediums whose sole purpose was to denounce current leadership and drive a wedge into the social eco system. As his NGOs successfully carried out their paid task of chaos creation, Soros moved in and invested in assets of each of the respective countries.

Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs was then hired to advise the fledgling governments to privatize all public assets immediately thus allowing Soros to buy and sell everything he had acquired during the turmoil. He created a regime change in Eastern Europe and Central America and profited from it. Soros declared war on the good citizens of the United States by doing the same. His goal; to weaken the United States financially, reducing US influence around the world which would allow him to operate with impunity and work toward his desired one world government. He has since lined his pockets with billions of our dollars and the souls of influential and career politicians who are still in office today!

During the anti-Trump protests pay particular attention to the message; pay even more attention to each group and who they’re comprised of. The recent Woman’s March on DC was promoted by 56 NGO’s. 50 of them with direct ties to Soros’ groups. Moveon.Org, the National Action Network, the ACLU, the Center for Constitutional Rights, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and as shocking as it may seem, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. All of these NGOs were at the forefront of each demonstration. Linda Sarsour, the head of the Arab-American Association of New York, is a co-chair and speaker at the march. You’ll remember seeing women chanting Alluah Akbar with her leading it from the stage. Ironically this group strongly advocates for Sharia Law in America, yet across the proverbial lawn demonstrations starring Ashley Judd and Madonna were barking about their pussies and blowing up the White House all in the name of Womens Rights in America.

NEWSFLASH: Sharia Law directly violates EVERYTHING that has to do with Women’s rights…

Done For Now

If you are an avid reader of the blog, stay tuned; we have a lot more on Mr. Soros and his reptilian antics. You may (or may not) be shocked to know that we will be calling out those who are deserving; good and bad. Yes, there are members from both sides of the political aisle immersed into a socialist movement and think nothing is wrong.

The anti-constitutional days are over, so long as WE THE PEOPLE become educated, and continue to stand ready to repel the enemies attack by banding together and demanding a top down scrubbing of those who have personal and financial interests in people like George Soros and those that stand behind him.

Manchester Terrorist Could Have Visited U.S. Under Visa Waiver Program

/in , , , , /by

Our nation’s borders are its first and last line of defense against international terrorists and transnational criminals. Border security is national security.

This commonsense notion was embraced by the 9/11 Commission. The preface of the official report, “9/11 and Terrorist Travel – Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States” begins with the following paragraph:

“It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made one.”

As deadly terror attacks occur in Europe and elsewhere around the world, understandably concerns increase about our vulnerability to terrorism here.

On May 22 Manchester, England, was the site of yet another heinous attack — this time young girls were targeted at a concert. The terrorist, Salman Abedi was a native-born British citizen who could have sought entry into the United States without a visa.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its corporate friends in the hotel, travel, hospitality and manufacturing industries formed an unholy alliance, the Discover America Partnership that, nevertheless, continues to lobby for an expansion of the dangerous Visa Waiver Program, ignoring that ISIS, al-Qaeda, and transnational criminals have already “discovered” America.

That partnership opposes any efforts to more effectively scrutinize foreign visitors, pushing for the admission of ever more foreign tourists, foreign students and, of course, huge increases in exploitable foreign workers to displace Americans.

They are far more concerned with head counts on airliners than body counts at the morgue.

A while back I wrote an article, “Visa Waiver Program Endangers Our Safety And Security” in which I included a list of six ways an effectively administered visa program helps combat terrorism and protect America and Americans. All of those important benefits are utterly lost when aliens enter the U.S. under Visa Waiver Program.

For example, the information and biometrics submitted in a visa application can be essential to conducting investigations into terrorists and criminals. Aliens who commit fraud, in completing that application, face a maximum of 25 years in prison, if the purpose for applying for the visa was to further a terror goal.

While most discussions about the borders of the United States focus on the U.S.-Mexican border, in reality our nation has fifty border states. Any state that lies along our northern border, has access to our nation’s meandering 95,000 miles of coastline, or has an international airport are also “border states.”

Consider this sentence from page 54 of the above-cited report:

“Although there is evidence that some land and sea border entries (of terrorists) without inspection occurred, these conspirators mainly subverted the legal entry system by entering at airports.”

On September 11, 2001, 26 countries participated in the Visa Waiver Program. Today that list has grown to 38 countries.

After the terror attacks of 9/11 that entire program should have been terminated.

Concerns about the Visa Waiver Program are not new and actually pre-date the terror attacks of 9/11.

On February 24, 1998, two days short of the fifth anniversary of the World Trade Center bombing that left six death, more than one thousand injured and resulted in approximately a half-billon dollars in damages, The Senate Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Technology, Terrorism and Government Information conducted a hearing on the topic, “Foreign terrorists in America: five years after the World Trade Center.”

At the hearing Senator Feinstein raised a number of questions including the wisdom of issuing visas to citizens of countries that sponsor terrorism and the need to reconsider the Visa Waiver (Pilot) Program.

On May 11, 2006, I testified before the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the Committee on International Relations on the topic, “Visa Overstays: Can We Bar The Terrorist Door?”

On June 6, 2016, the GAO issued a report, “VISA WAIVER PROGRAM: DHS Should Take Steps to Ensure Timeliness of Information Needed to Protect U.S. National Security.” The title of that report was understated and bland. The Washington Free Beacon’s article about the GAO report had a more candid title, “Oversight Report: Foreign Nations Still Not Sharing Info on Terrorists With U.S.- DHS failing to report security gaps to Congress.”

Memo to the Discover America Partnership: In considering the balance sheet it is imperative to remember that human lives are priceless.

Canada to expedite asylum claims from Yemen and Egypt

/in , , , , , , /by

That is what Refugees Deeply is reporting here.  (To learn more about the pro-more-refugees site, go here.)

Trudeau and Trump earlier this year.

Obama junior (Justin Trudeau) is ‘welcoming’ the Muslim world to Canada while President Donald Trump has appealed the so-called travel ban case to the Supreme Court.

One of the countries whose citizens Trump would at least temporarily ban (as Trudeau welcomes them!) is Yemen.

Canada to Expedite Entry of Refugees From Yemen and Egypt

Canada has added war-torn Yemen and repressive Egypt to its fast-track asylum list. The inclusion of the two countries will mean swifter decisions on refugee status for nationals of those countries.

Egyptians and Yemenis seeking asylum will still have to secure a tourist or other visa to reach Canada and apply. It will mean a smaller hearing and quicker decision once they make it there.

Petra Molnar, a migration researcher, told the Middle East Eye that the expedited country list aims to recognize that conditions in certain countries may “require a faster processing.”

Canada’s existing expedited list includes Syria, Iraq and Eritrea, with Burundi and Afghanistan also expected to be added this month. [Yikes!–ed]

A claimant from one of the designated countries still has to prove his or her need for protection.

Yemen is in a state of civil war that has created one of the world’s worst humanitarian disasters, with 19 million of its 28 million people in need of aid. Egypt under the government of Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has locked up hundreds of thousands of people in a crackdown on all forms of opposition.

Readers, most of those al-Sisi is trying to control are the Muslim Brotherhood agitators.  The ‘Brothers’ are banned in Egypt.  At one point Donald Trump talked tough about banning them here as well.

I have 196 previous posts on Canada, go here to learn more about what is happening north of our unsecured border.

The Unkindest Cut

/in , , , , /by

Perhaps there are no longer many who know the name Martin Niemoeller, a Protestant pastor, most famous for his poem, as follows:

“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.

Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out.

          Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.

         And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”

Neimoeller, an anti-communist, supported the Nazis until the churches were placed under Nazi control. He then founded the Pastors’ Emergency League, on September 11, 1933, to unite German evangelical theologians, pastors and church office-holders against Aryanism. He was tried and imprisoned for seven months, followed by seven years in concentration camps. Freed after the war, he became president of the Protestant church in Hesse and Nassau (1947- 1964), and president of the World Council of Churches in the 1960s, against which he would speak out now, given the opportunity.

The World Council of Churches, founded in 1948 and headquartered in Geneva, and its 350 mostly Protestant and Orthodox churches and some evangelical membership, overtly expressed concern for the safety of the Jewish people, but clandestinely began promoting a lethal anti-Israel agenda aimed at delegitimizing Israel in the Middle East conflict. Instead of worrying about Israelis’ being blown up by homicidal bombers during the Second Intifada (2000-2005), the group justified the Palestinian violence and vilified Israel’s self-defense. They established the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) and the Palestine Israel Ecumenical Forum (PIEF) to end Israel’s “occupation,” aware that this action would eventually deprive the Jewish people of their own homeland.

With their hostility clearly focused on Israel, the Council sends activists to the West Bank to confront Israeli soldiers and settlers, while also repudiating the Arab aggression toward Israel and the Jews. So, they denounce anti-Semitism for public consumption, but individual members nevertheless continue their demonizing rhetoric against Israel.  And there is more (there always is): They avoid denouncing Muslim anti-Semitism and Muslim assassinations of Christians.

Interestingly, when the Provisional Committee prepared to create the WCC in Amsterdam, in 1948, they guaranteed full Church rights to Christians of Jewish descent, and expressed remorse to the Jewish survivors of the Holocaust along with gratitude to the Christians who had sheltered them. In fact, they even acknowledged that the Church had contributed to anti-Semitism – but they would consider Israel’s sovereignty. Not only did the WCC not support the creation of a Jewish state, but they attempted to delegitimize the entire concept.  They determined it best to not offend the Muslims who sought a second Holocaust. Recognizing the rights of Jewish converts to Christianity was an easy decision, but the rights of Jews to live in their own country remained problematical.

The PLO’s terror attacks in the early 1970s, as well as the Lod Airport massacre that left 26 dead and scores injured, and other Palestinian kidnappings and murders of Israelis, were also met with the Council’s benign condemnation, as though the Palestinians were striving for “human rights,” and not the annihilation of the entire state of Israel. Hijackings, once called “reckless acts of anarchy that disregard human rights” were now excused as “something not so bad because nobody got killed.”

The massacre of the Israeli Olympic team by the PLO in September 1972 was termed “senseless terrorism.” Rather than condemn the Palestinians’ heinous acts and demand the criminals be prosecuted, the WCC general secretary expressed consternation at the “senseless (!)” deaths of the Israelis, their abductors and the German officials – as though the “sacrificed lives” were not only equal but could have made sense given different circumstances. The suggestion is grotesque. He condemned Israel not to respond with reprisals, which thereafter became their modus operandi.

Contrary to its title, the UN World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance held in Durban, South Africa, in 2001, became a dedication to hate against Israel. Although the WCC claimed to disapprove of some of the statements, it nevertheless supported the document.

In 2004, they eulogized Arafat upon his death as a leader who recognized true justice, peace and security for Palestinians and Israelis. The WCC disregarded his massacres of Jews and Christians, the terrorism despite the Oslo Accords, and the billions of dollars in aid that was never used to improve Palestinian lives.

In February 2005, the WCC joined the American Protestant churches in the Presbyterian Church’s (USA) divestment campaign against Israel, blaming Israel’s occupation for the violence, not Palestinian aggression or the companies that profit from that aggression. The group also directed their blame against Israel for boarding the Mavi Marmara flotilla that was carrying jihadists and armaments to Gaza in June 2016, despite videos that showed the passengers to be the violent aggressors.

The WCC was quick to condemn Israel’s invasion into Lebanon in 1984, but protected the identity of the earlier massacres by the PLO and Christian Phalangists in the 1970s and 1980s, and the PLO’s massacres in Lebanon (1982). They also maintained their silence about the Palestinians’ horrific atrocities and executions of the Maronites (Roman Catholics) in January 1976.

The World Council of Churches no longer stands for democracy and Christianity – if it ever did without Niemoeller. In a world that has grown more dangerous, with fanatical terrorists and unstoppable migrants overcoming countries from which the indigenous populations are fleeing,  the WCC has declared its affinity for the enemy, those who threaten to establish a caliphate at Buckingham Palace, at the White House, and throughout Europe and Asia.  Statements issued by the Central Community of the WCC in response to brutal attacks against Christians refrain from naming the Islamic attackers.  Rather, they criticize Israel and silence those who dare defame Islam.

It is no surprise for Israel to be vilified by the followers of Islam, because Islam, like Nazism, is the antithesis of Judaism and they could never co-exist.  But when the Council of churches joins the accusers, it is the unkindest cut of all. Such action is foolhardy and self-defeating as the integrity of the Church’s theology requires the existence of Israel and the Jews, but the reverse is not true.  If it were possible to remove Judaism, Christianity would suffer the same fate thereafter.  Islam’s declared purpose is global conquest.  Pastor Niemoeller’s words ring as true today.

Like the tail-devouring Ouroboros, the WCC has turned on itself, and should no longer be able to rely on our citizens’ taxes and generosity to support the Palestinian Authority and the armed jihadists who seek Jewish and Christian destruction.  Isaiah 5:20: Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.

The Other Europe

/in , , , , /by

Robert Royal notes that the progressive future can’t be great since it doesn’t concern itself with the future of children and societies fertile enough to reproduce themselves.

Last week, when the leader of the free world was (depending on which sources you paid attention to) either destroying America’s carefully constructed system of international alliances or shaking up the policy establishment at home and abroad to deal with the new world environment, something equally consequential – and more fundamental – took place, almost unnoticed, in Hungary.

I’ve mentioned in passing several times in recent days that I spoke at the Eleventh World Congress for Families that has just finished in Budapest. But it’s difficult to convey what an inspiring and hopeful – and unexpected – event it was.

We almost never hear about it, mired as we are in our political obsessions, but there are thousands of family and marriage activists and organizations at work around the world. Most of them were present in Budapest last week. And most important of all, outside of Western Europe, North America, and their offshoots in places like Australia and New Zealand, countries are not at all following the absurd and suicidal trends on marriage and children that we (falsely) believe have gripped the whole world.

Hungary is a leading example in Europe itself. Prime Minister and former anti-Soviet dissident Viktor Orban has succeeded in starting to reverse the disastrous trends in marriage and births that Hungary, like Western Europe, had been showing for years. This has been the result partly of social commitment, partly of specific policies.

The 2011 Hungarian Constitution, the first one adopted since it regained freedom after the fall of the Soviet Union, states this:

Article L (1) Hungary shall protect the institution of marriage as the union of a man and a woman established by voluntary decision, and the family as the basis of the survival of the nation. Family ties shall be based on marriage and/or the relationship between parents and children. (2) Hungary shall encourage the commitment to have children.

That may seem an empty gesture given the dominant culture of our international elites, but ten years ago, Hungary had a marriage rate of around 3.6 per thousand, the same as Southern European countries like Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Now it’s nearly 4.75, and steadily climbing.

I’ve been reading the very kind notes you’ve been sending along with your donations and am deeply grateful to all of you for your loyalty and encouragement over the years. As you know, we’re in a immense struggle, both in our society and in our Church – a struggle even worse than when we began in 2008. (By the way, I’ll be on EWTN again this evening at 8 PM ET – there are rebroadcasts and YouTube if you can’t tune in tonight – to talk with Raymond Arroyo and Fr. Gerald Murray about several recent developments in the Church.) Yet there are also hopeful signs and I write about one of the most hopeful in this column. Good and evil will be at war until the Second Coming. In the meantime, we all have to do our part. Mine is to call on you at this special moment to do yours, to make a financial contribution so that our special Thing may be even more present, more energetic, more effective in bringing Catholic truth to a world that is in turmoil for lack of it. – Robert Royal
