Toxic Feminism and Judge Roy Moore
The latest target of social justice warriors in the temples of Secular Humanism we call our public university system is so called “toxic masculinity,” meaning innate male authority in the social order (because in their worldview “all men are pigs”– except effeminate “gays” and “metrosexuals”).
Ironically, however, the most toxic form of masculinity is radical feminism. The masculinization of women that began in the 1960s has produced a hybrid version of feminism that combines the most toxic aspects of both femininity and masculinity: the manipulative cunning of women, and the militaristic will-to-power of men. There are legions of these new feminists at large in America – high-school and college-trained ideologues, steeped in anti-biblical dogma and zealous to avenge their “victim” status as women in a male-dominated world.
To be clear, this is not to indict women whose “feminism” relates only to womens’ equality of value as human beings created in God’s image: that form of feminism is healthy. It rightfully seeks to correct the attitude held by prior generations of men who treated women like children or slaves, rather than partners of different but complimentary traits and functions as praised in Proverbs 31. No, I’m talking about the feminism that trains women to think and act like men and to compete with them for power, abandoning their essential primary role as the cultivators and sustainers of family-based community. These new feminists, whose most sacred “right” is abortion, destroy rather than create civilization.
Their muscular assault on “toxic masculinity” has now spilled into the larger culture in a tsunami of sex-based accusations against men in power that suggests an indictment of all men, and of the very concept of male leadership. Many of the accusations are undoubtedly true, which lends undo weight to those that aren’t, inviting yet more of both sorts (and opening the door to the same political opportunists who “never let a good crisis go to waste”).
This isn’t just a cultural earthquake, it is a swarm of them, like what’s occurring geologically at Yellowstone – and is potentially as dangerous if men collectively cede power to feminists to appease their wrath (in the same manner that so many capitulated to the media-driven “gay rights” agenda to prove they weren’t “homophobes”).
One has to wonder if this isn’t actually a planned offensive of the Clinton/Soros Purple Revolution. If so, it’s a brilliant political maneuver, uniting aggrieved women across the political spectrum into a lynch mob that is quickly morphing into a sort-of cultural coup by the “women’s movement” to replace the old Bible-based and conservative-leaning patriarchal social order with a hard-left matriarchy. (Conservative women, beware the trap!) Already, the “solution” being proposed is the wholesale transfer of power to women, as if maleness itself is the problem.
At the same time the historic stereotypes of men and women are in full display: the masculine emphasis on systematic logic and rule-of law (in which one is innocent until proven guilty) has been swept away by a flood of emotionalism (fitting the old stereotype of women). Numerous Hollywood careers have been crushed, and Judge Roy Moore’s momentous Alabama election today hangs in the balance – with no “due process” in sight, only torches and pitchforks and moral outrage.
The classic film To Kill a Mockingbird – set in Alabama – featured just such a mob, intent on hanging a man accused of sexually assaulting a woman. The film is always presented as a morality tale against racism, because the man was black and the woman white, but the incident that actually drove the narrative was the white woman’s unsuccessful attempt to get the black man to have sex with her, and her insistence after the fact that he had attacked her. It was only the heroic defense of the accused man by lawyer Aticus Finch (played brilliantly by Gregory Peck), that saved the him from being lynched by the townspeople before the truth could be proved in court.
There’s a similar tale of sex-based female treachery in the Bible about Joseph and Potiphar’s wife (Genesis 39), but in that case the innocent man actually served time in jail.
The point here is not to say that the accusers in any of these many cases are liars or that the men are innocent but that our society has a system for determining what the truth is – and we risk doing great damage, not just to the individuals but to the nation as a whole – if we abandon the rule of law to emotional expedience.
That risk is especially high in the case of pro-life, pro-family stalwart Judge Roy Moore, who is rightly outraged at being tried by the leftist media in the court of public opinion on the eve of an election in which opponents like Mitch McConnell have proven a willingness to stop him at all costs. What is more, his many feminist opponents (and perhaps the accusers themselves) routinely justify the wholesale murder of unborn babies as “women’s rights,” so what’s a little election fraud compared to that?
Yes, that’s a serious charge! Which proves my point about due process. Opinion and unproved accusations cannot be a substitute for facts in public policy!
As a California attorney, I practiced Family Law for several years, which is necessarily a mostly gender-based adversarial process involving primarily divorce and child custody. I was intimately familiar with the facts of hundreds of cases of “he-said, she-said” and represented both men and women in roughly equal numbers. I know from whereof I speak that a great many men and woman lie about each other to gain advantage in pursuit of their interests, and if it weren’t for genuinely impartial judges (most are) and a system for gathering and testing facts (the litigation process), there would be no justice at all in family law – the victory would go to whomever had the more compelling narrative.
That’s precisely what the leftists want from this current crisis: the power to steer social policy through compelling narrative without the restrictions of due process to tie their hands and hold them accountable for their lies. It is up to the rest of us to prevent that from happening by demanding a return to the rule of law and an end to “witch hunts.” We must not allow “toxic feminism” to prevail.
In my opinion Judge Roy Moore is the victim of a witch hunt the likes of which we haven’t seen since Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. I don’t know Judge Moore personally, so I have only his history as a unwavering defender of the Bible, and my knowledge of the bad character and underhandedness of his critics like McConnell – and the blatant moral depravity of his pro-abortion Democrat opponent to go on. That’s enough for me – in my capacity as a private citizen – to support him pending the outcome of “due process” that is the birthright of every American.
Hollywood Chickenhawk Scandal Part Two
http://barbwire.com/2017/11/03/tinseltown-shame-hollywood-chickenhawk-scandal/
The tidal wave of sex abuse claims by women against powerful men in Hollywood might suggest that the industry is run by a cabal of heterosexual predators, and it’s good some are being exposed, but which other group of sexual deviants ACTUALLY dominates Tinseltown? – And has been cramming their political agenda into almost every film of the past decade? – And assuring that the most envelope-pushing ones (e.g. Brokeback Mountain) always receive the highest industry awards? If anyone really believes that Kevin Spacey’s alleged sex assault of the teenaged Anthony Rapp (to whom Spacey has apologized but claims he can’t remember) is a Hollywood rarity, or that the “gay” abuse scorecard is just a sidebar to the “larger” heterosexual abuse story, then I’ve got a Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act I’d like to sell you.
Sorry, is that too obscure a reference for you? It shouldn’t be, since the Matthew Shepard “hate crime” on which America’s federal hate crime laws are based was a far bigger and more consequential hoax than that of con-man George C. “I’ve got a bridge to sell you” Parker’s frequent “sale” of the Brooklyn Bridge to gullible marks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_C._Parker And when we’re talking about the political shielding of Hollywood Chickenhawks from exposure and accountability, we’re talking about world-class powers of deception and fraud few groups possess.
Matthew Shepard was the young homosexual man (age 21 but looked 14) whose brutal murder in 1998 – supposedly by “homophobic bigots” – was cynically exploited by the Democrat Party and its powerful “gay” activist constituency. They used it to push through the novel and constitutionally corrosive idea – now a federal law! – that a perpetrator’s malice toward a victim’s “sexual orientation” should earn him more punishment than if he harms a non-homosexual. That criminalization of speech-when-connected-with-a-violent-crime was step one of a multi-part strategy to eventually criminalize ALL stand-alone speech critical of homosexuality as “hate speech” (which is still on their agenda).
The “gay” movement and its co-conspirators milked the Matthew Shepard hoax for a decade until a renegade “gay” journalist let the public in on the secret that Shepard was not an innocent college student murdered by “homophobes,” but a meth-addicted “gay” prostitute slaughtered by a couple of his meth-dealing sex partners.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/26/the-truth-behind-americas-most-famous-gay-hate-murder-matthew-shepard.
Speaking of milk, let’s not forget that “gay” icon Harvey Milk – whose ugly mug has been immortalized on a US Postage Stamp, and for whom a US Navy ship is named – was a known pederast who preyed on teen boys: https://americansfortruth.com/issues/harvey-milk/ How did that little fact escape public scrutiny? Hmmm. According to another “gay” writer, Milk was even connected to infamous “Jonestown” cult leader Jim Jones (also a pederast).
There have been many teachable moments in recent years when the public could have been educated about the America’s pederast underworld: the Catholic priest scandal, the John DuPont “Foxcatcher” scandal, the Jerry Sandusky scandal, the Denny Hastert scandal, The Terrence “Terry” Bean scandal, the Portland Mayor Sam Adams scandal, the Seattle Mayor Ed Murray scandal, and on and on and on.
What do these seemingly unrelated stories have in common with the Spacey scandal? They each involve a conspiracy of Democrat political strategists, media gate-keepers and “gay” activists to hide the significant correlation of “gay” male culture and pederasty from the public. In the Spacey and Milk cases, they also knowingly lionize and elevate men who “allegedly” prey on boys to positions of great influence in society.
This conspiracy, which protects and advances all aspects of the LGBT agenda, not just pederasty, greatly affects all Americans because it has literally reshaped our society over the past half-century. To the extend that their deception has changed laws and public policy it amounts to fraud in furtherance of felony malfeasance.
So to just what extent does their deception affect public policy? If the Matthew Shepard federal hate law isn’t consequential enough for you, how about the creation of false, legally baseless “constitutional right” to homosexual “marriage” in Obergefell v Hodges? That was only possible through the judicial malfeasance of leftist Supreme Court justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Elena Kagan, who were both guilty of actual (not merely perceived) conflict of interest by voting for that result despite having performed “gay marriages” during the pendency of the case: the most blatant and egregious violation of judicial ethics in the history of the court.
Ginsberg and Kagan’s judicial activism is not as clear an example of fraud as it is of abuse of power, until you recognize all the steps of the LGBT conspiracy to deceive the public along the way. We’re talking decades of strategic planning and implementation.
First, it required a suppression of the roots of the modern “gay” movement itself, which was (and is) steeped in pederasy (man/boy sex), closely linked with Nazism, and, in more recent decades, responsible for triggering the global – and globally lethal – GRIDS renamed AIDS crisis (“gay” men remaining by far the #1 source of new cases even today according to the CDC). Raise any one of those three thoroughly documented (ultra-consequential) facts and watch your life and reputation be destroyed by the leftist smear machine.
Second, it required the complete corruption of academia and the scientific community on the question of the normalcy and health consequences of homosexual conduct (which began with the “gay” takeover of the APA in 1973). Today’s strictly enforced, punishment-backed, uniformity of agreement among academics and professionals is alone evidence of their success in that. The breathtaking extent of their fraud in their process of achieving that is detailed by Dr. Jeffrey Satinover in his eye-opening expose “The Trojan Couch: How the Mental Health Associations Misrepresent Science.” http://factsaboutyouth.com/wp-content/uploads/TheTrojanCouchSatinover.pdf
Third, it required the total corruption of journalistic integrity in the mainstream media on issues related to the LGBT agenda. Today, that transformation is so complete that every assertion of the LGBT lobby is simply assumed as fact in mainstream news stories and pro-family disagreement is equated – literally – with Nazi opinion about Jews.
Lastly, it required massive corruption of judicial integrity in US courts, which the 98% heterosexual majority could once count on to preserve the primacy of marriage and the natural family in mainstream culture. Judicial corruption was ensured by homosexualist Anthony Kennedy who wrote all five majority opinions of the Supreme Court establishing “gay” cultural supremacy in America, beginning with the ruling in Romer v Evans that characterized political efforts to oppose special rights for homosexuals as “hate based” and thus illegitimate. Today, nearly all cases related to the LGBT agenda in the lower courts are funneled to activist homosexual judges whose lack of impartiality in their foregone conclusions is not even questioned, let alone considered a basis for recusal.
This is all to explain why one of the largest networks of pederasts in America – the Chickenhawks of Hollywood, has not yet been exposed and might never be, despite the heroism of survivors like Corey Feldman https://pagesix.com/2017/11/01/corey-feldman-calls-lapd-to-out-pedophiles-during-dr-oz-appearance/. After all, in the world of deception, illusion and deflection, who is better than Hollywood?
But make no mistake, if the full exposure of the Hollywood heterosexual scandal would amount to four alarm blaze, the full exposure of Hollywood’s pederasts – the elite of “gay” male culture – would be like the conflagration of Rome.
Hollywood Chickenhawk Scandal Part One
http://www.wnd.com/2017/10/will-spacey-scandal-expose-gay-male-obsession-with-young-teens/
I’d like to weigh in on the Kevin Spacey (age 26)/Anthony Rapp (age 14) tip-of-the-iceberg pederasty scandal that MAY rip open Hollywood like the hull of the Titanic. http://nypost.com/2017/10/30/kevin-spacey-is-another-everyone-knew-who-else-does-hollywood-know-about/
Speaking as the only person ever charged for “Crimes Against Humanity” (not a joke) in significant part for discussing the pedophile core of “gay” male culture, and one of the first people ever listed as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center (for documenting that culture at the core of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party), I’d just like to say, in advance, “I told you so.”
Frankly, however, pedophilia is too broad a term for this all-too-common aspect of homosexual orientation and misses the gender-specific nature of the problem. The correct term is pederasty, euphemistically known in historic “gay” society as “Man/Boy Love,” as in the infamous North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) – which was a regular participant in the early Gay Pride parades before the LGBT movement got taken over by the marketing and PR strategists of the Democratic Party.
To be clear, I’m not saying that all or even most men who identify as “gay” molest children. Even the word “children” is misleading in this context, since “children” connotes pre-school and grammar school ages, while the target of pederasts are young teen and slightly pre-teen boys. And I’m not saying that lesbians share this problem to the same extent that it exists in male homosexual culture (though lesbian abuse of girls is a problem, too).
What I am saying is that male homosexuality identity (from the days when the ancient Spartan military routinely drafted pre-teen boys and paired them with adult homosexual men) has ALWAYS been oriented toward youth, and it is this Man/Boy sexual culture that not only spawned the modern “gay” movement but remains the largely hidden – in fact, politically protected and shielded – core of “gay” male society today. The American public has only once been allowed a glimpse of the pederast underworld – the Catholic priest scandal – which was exposed only because the left’s smoldering hatred of the Catholic Church briefly overwhelmed it’s protectiveness of “gay” society – but even they all conspired to falsely characterize the priest’s pederasty as “pedophilia” to obscure the homosexual connection.
Consider just a few salient facts documented in The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party and on my blog scottlively.net:
The German “Grandfather of Gay Rights,” Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, was molested at 14 by his riding instructor and went on to form the world’s first “gay rights” organization in the 1860s.
The first characterization of homosexual sodomy as a “human right” was by the German Society for Human Rights in the 1920s, whose most famous member was Hitler’s “gay” second-in-command Ernst Roehm (head of the Brown Shirts). Munich police records identified at least 11 boys recruited from a local high school for sex with Roehm – according to journalist Heinz Hoene’s book, The Order of the Death’s Head, (called a “Monumental Achievement” by The New York Times).
The first American homosexual organization was the US chapter of Roehm’s Society for Human Rights, started in Chicago in 1924 by Henry Gerber and two other men, all of whom were arrested shortly thereafter for sex with teen boys.
One of those abused boys, as an adult, molested another teen boy named Harry Hay, who is known today as the “Father of the American Gay Rights Movement.” Till his death, Hay was an outspoken advocate for Man/Boy sex and wore a sweatshirt reading “NAMBLA Walks With Me” in Gay Pride Parades after the pederast group had been banned by the marketing gurus who took over the “gay” movement.
The Stonewall Riots that are commemorated each year as “Gay Pride Day” were triggered by “gay” male patrons of the Stonewall Bar in New York City, angered at police efforts to arrest a 14-year-old boy transvestite prostitute (Mark Pascal, Varieties of Man Boy Love).
Many early “gay” activists were open pederasts, including NAMBLA founder David Thorstad, who also launched the Gay Activist Alliance in 1969, which spawned – directly or indirectly – innumerable LGBT activist organizations, including today’s political behemoth the Washington DC Based Human Rights Campaign – HRC (which named me public enemy #1 of the global LGBT agenda in 2014).
HRC’s founder was Terrance “Terry” Bean, an Obama fundraising bundler accused of sex with a teen boy in 2014 but who escaped prosecution when (after a public monetary settlement offer) the boy (who had been in hiding at the time) declined to testify. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Bean
Terry Bean is based in Portland, Oregon, a sewer of rampant pederasty and home of the “gay” apologist Gus van Sant whose films have romanticized male teen prostitution, and of Sam Adams, who was also accused of sex with a teen boy while Mayor (one of many big-city mayors in recent years – most recently Ed Murray of Seattle, who resigned in September). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Adams_(Oregon_politician).
http://www.npr.org/2017/09/16/551457563/seattle-mayor-resigns-after-multiple-sexual-abuse-allegations
Portland is where I had my eyes opened to the destructive LGBT agenda as spokesman for the No Special Rights Act (1992), and where I faced the first four of five major lawsuits by the “gay” movement trying unsuccessfully to silence my criticism.
It was there I learned about the homosexual/Nazi connection that led to writing The Pink Swastika with Jewish researcher Kevin E. Abrams – dangerous knowledge that got me targeted by the ultra-powerful Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) long before they would begin smearing the pro-family movement as a whole.
Here is the SPLC’s dirty little secret that sort-of ties everything together in one little vignette: the Man/Boy sex angle, the Hollywood angle, the Nazi angle, and the protect “gays” from the pederast connection at all costs angle.
You see, SPLC’s most famous anti-Nazi lawsuit was against White Supremacist Tom Metzger of Southern California, by linking him to the beating death of Ethiopian graduate student Mulugeta Seraw by Skinhead death-metal musician Ken “Death” Mieske and two others in Portland in 1988. Mieske was Metzger’s protégé and likely “gay” lover. He was also the darling of Hollywood “gay” giant Gus Van Sant, who once made a film about Mieske upon his release from prison for an earlier burglary conviction, titled “Ken Death Gets Out of Jail.” Mieske’s history as a teen sexual target of older men is documented in a book about the Seraw murder by Elinor Langer, titled appropriately “A Hundred Little Hitlers.” There’s more on the topic here: http://www.scottlively.net/2014/07/31/reflections-on-the-passing-of-ken-death-and-the-hypocrisy-of-the-splc/
I began this article stating that the Hollywood pederast Titanic MAY be about to sink, but then again it may not, because there is no higher priority on the political left than protecting the “gay” movement from the link to pederasty. If the SPLC could bury the pederast and Van Sant connection in the Metzger “gay” Nazi case, while simultaneously mocking The Pink Swastika as ludicrous – without a hint of media coverage exposing their hypocrisy: And if Terry Bean could get off scot-free without anyone on the left admitting that his teen accuser may have been paid off under their very noses; and if Kevin Spacey can escape any real consequences for his assault of Anthony Rapp by turning his apology into a “coming out” celebration (the most “sacred” of LGBT ceremonies), then there may never be a day of public reckoning for the many Chickenhawks of Hollywood – whose scope of control and abuse would make Harvey Weinstein and James Toback seem like Altar Boys by comparison.
Google and Facebook Abuses Offer Glimpse of Dangerous Future
Google and Facebook Abuses Offer Glimpse of Dangerous Future
Why I will never switch to an exclusively Internet-based newsletter, and why you should join the Natural Life Movement and subscribe to my real-world alternative.
Friends,
There a certain irony – or perhaps intentional dark humor – in the original name for the virtual world that is slowly but surely ensnaring all of humanity in its “World Wide Web.” Who can deny the amazing benefits of the Internet? But as with any human-controlled technology there are two sides of the coin: one benign and one malignant. The maxim that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” speaks to an underlying truth relevant to every form of technology.
It all comes down to who’s in control of it, and the virtual world is firmly in the control of the very elites who hate Biblical Christianity. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, etc, are the millennial-generation equivalent to the Dutch East India Company, the Hudson’s Bay Company or the Robber Barons of the early U.S.: they are faceless monopolistic corporate leviathans with the defacto powers of government within their spheres of influence but without the restrictions by which actual governments are bound. And they are so powerful that they can often bend government to their will.
For example, the power to censor views based on ideology was recently exercised by Google when it “demonetized” the YouTube videos of conservative organizations but not liberal ones. Since Google is a private company it isn’t bound by the First Amendment, even though the “private” virtual territory it controls is in every relevant way equivalent to the public spaces in the real world governed by equal access laws regarding free speech.
Likewise, the inherent power to steer opinion (and presumably conduct) of the general public – or more chillingly, specific groups – was recently revealed in reports about advancements in Facebook’s algorithms that identify an individual’s tastes and interests and select news stories for them to read and websites to visit. Such technology gives brave new meaning to the phrase “leading people by the nose.” A carefully chosen series of articles, perhaps custom-tweaked by a clever manipulator, could, for example, incite certain highly ideological groups to “direct action” against selected targets. I think that’s already happening, on both the left and the right, by the same puppet-masters: political hyper polarization and emotionalism is the perfect climate for social engineering through propaganda.
Many of the great old science fiction movies of the 1950s shared a common element: a human foil who feared technology and scientific advancement. He was always cast as a bad guy in these stories, the enemy of science. But a couple of generations later came The Matrix, in which the enemy was artificial intelligence itself – the ultimate product of science, and enslaver of mankind. Those 50’s monster movies were almost pure fantasy, but The Matrix bespeaks a current metaphorical truth about growing human dependence on AI, and the human hands behind it.
There’s a certain schizophrenia in the way we’re expected to respond to technology today. On the one hand, we’re cast as ignorant bigots for opposing dehumanizing “advancements” like embryonic stem cell research, but on the other we’re warned that artificial intelligence and robotics will eventually make natural human life obsolete.
There’s a clear spiritual admonition from Jesus in John 17 that is commonly paraphrased “Be in the world, but not of the world.” I think that guidance – so beautifully helpful for negotiating our way though the physical world – also foresaw the challenge to Christians of the virtual world and how we should respond to it.
I think Christians have a duty to resist the efforts of the secular humanist elites to subsume the real world created by God within the artificial world created by human beings and I think it falls within the purview of the pro-life and pro-family movement to lead the way on this front.
We are not enemies of technology, but we must be enemies of the malignant abuse of technology that subjects humanity to manipulation and control by the “elites.”
Exactly a year ago at a seminar in Maine I laid out the concept for a project titled The Natural Life Movement, and shortly thereafter launched it in Bishkek, Kyrgzstan with a Declaration on the Natural Life Movement (below).
Recently, Google changed its spam filters so that my ministry’s Internet alerts went directly to spam. I suspect it was a system-wide change targeting conservatives, but even it it was innocent, it reminded me of the importance of starting the Natural Life Movement. If you’ve read this far in this article, you probably implicitly recognize its importance also.
I’m going to make two promises today.
First, I promise never to stop publishing my real-world paper newsletter, that I’m currently putting out twice per month by first class mail at just $25 per year. I strongly urge you to subscribe to that today by sending a donation by mail to Abiding Truth Ministries, PO Box 2373, Springfield, MA 01101, or online here http://www.defendthefamily.com/help/donate.php . You’ll be automatically added to the mailing list.
Second, I promise to make the Natural Life Movement a prominent feature of my newsletter from this day forward, and work diligently for the rest of my life to educate and equip pro-family conservatives to defend the real world from being supplanted by the virtual world – that includes opposing the normalization of LGBT counterfeit “families,” but so much more.
There needs to be a Christian-driven movement to insist that people be allowed to live in the real world and not the virtual world if they choose to, and that systems and processes based on actual, tangible objects, like paper records and currency must be preserved. The contrast of the God created natural world and the world of artificial alternatives made by human hands must remain central to human awareness, and a balance maintained between that real world and the artificial.
I’m asking you to be a part of that movement. Subscribe to my newsletter today. Forward this message to your lists. Begin to talk and write about the Natural Life Movement in your daily conversations in the real world and online.
May God bless your support for these ideas and my ministry.
In Him,
Dr. Scott Lively
Declaration of the Natural Life Movement
1. The universal values of all humanity are grounded in the natural order of Creation.
2. The foundation of civilization is the natural family: a man and a woman created to join together as one flesh to bear and raise children together with mutual love and nurturing.
3. The true strength of a healthy nation is a network of natural families organized into natural communities which create stability and economic independence through mutual cooperation.
4. The community which sets the best interest of its children as its highest priority guarantees the highest level of security, prosperity and happiness for everyone.
5. A child’s best interest is to be raised in harmony with the natural world and respect for the God who created it.
6. The natural-life society allows for beliefs and practices that do not conform to majority views, and practices tolerance for those who respect the mainstream culture but choose to live outside of it. It also recognizes the value of technology that compliments the natural order without doing harm to it.
7. The natural lifestyle simply prefers the natural to the artificial as a general, flexible principle:
Ÿ Natural foods as contrasted to artificial, genetically modified, or pesticide tainted foods,
Ÿ Natural healing as contrasted with artificial chemicals and processes,
Ÿ Natural persons as contrasted with “legal persons” such as corporations, robots, and “transhumans.”
Ÿ Natural families as contrasted with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or polyamorous groupings,
Ÿ Natural communities made of independent, self-sufficient families as contrasted with forced urbanization and dependence on government.
It is the goal and purpose of the Natural Life Movement to improve the lives of all the people by promoting this Natural Life perspective as model for our society, its government and our neighbors across the world.

Swamp Central: US State Department
Last year on my 25-nation personal tour to assess the populist revolution across the world I spent several days in Romania, which had recently begun the process of amending its constitution to protect marriage. The change should have been as much a no-brainer for the Romanian government as it was for their next-door neighbors in Hungary, since the Romanian people are overwhelmingly morally conservative, being mostly Orthodox Christians. Yet, the marriage amendment, backed by a 3-million strong signature drive, has been delayed for some time in the Romanian Senate and most recently by the Romanian Constitutional Court, which has announced “that it would analyze the law’s compatibility with the rest of constitution” http://www.politico.eu/article/romania-gay-marriage-turns-illiberal-with-moves-against/.
Who is really behind this stonewall campaign? My guess is the US State Department. Romania is heavily influenced by the United States government, specifically the Departments of State and Defense, and at least the State Department seems intent on advancing the leftist agenda on LGBT issues in foreign nations as aggressively as if Donald Trump had never been elected. Current US Ambassador to Romania Hans Klemm has been an outspoken champion of homosexuality, even marching for “gay marriage” in the pouring rain this past summer: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/20/1000-in-romanian-gay-pride-march-amid-moves-to-limit-rights.html.
The jury is still out on the mixed messages coming Defense Secretary James Mattis, who has so-far delayed the push for transgenderism in the military but allowed the rest of the “gay” agenda to proceed. But just this week an Air Force colonel has been punished for refusing to affirm “gay marriage” and Secretary Mattis has been AWOL in his defense. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/air-force-punishes-colonel-who-wouldnt-affirm-gay-marriage.
I’ve opined previously that the Departments of Defense and State are really the heart and soul of the DC “swamp,” and likely the reason that President Trump has not been able to keep several of his campaign promises on foreign policy issues, including his promise to end neo-con warmongering and propaganda regarding Russia and the Middle East. I even suggested that his capitulation to McCain and the other neo-con Senators on Syria was their price for finally confirming Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. (I believe the Gorsuch appointment reflects President Trump’s commitment to the pro-family cause in the same manner that the Scalia appointment reflected President Reagan’s views.)
I’ve also written several times about my experiences in Riga, Latvia during the George W. Bush administration, when I and Pastor Ken “Hutch” Hutcherson (an emissary of the Bush White House Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives) confronted US Embassy staff there about their orchestration of the 2007 “gay pride” parade in defiance of the will of over 95% of the Latvian people. I was shocked at the time, only later learning that it was the supposedly pro-family George Bush who had proactively appointed the second openly homosexual US Ambassador in history in 2001 – to Romania! (The first such appointment was just two years earlier by Bill Clinton – to Luxembourg).
Then came Obama who simply threw open Pandora’s box on sexual deviance and made the LGBT agenda a priority for all branches of the US government. His cabinet pick for State was, of course, Hillary Clinton (allegedly her consolation prize for bowing to Ted Kennedy’s demand to let Obama cut the line to the presidency in 2008), while he kept key Bush insider Robert Gates at Defense where Gates spearheaded the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” As the Trump presidency has brilliantly exposed, the Bushes, Clintons and Obama are really a single political organism: a multi-headed political Hydra whose blatant anti-Trump conspiracies are continually being revealed by articles such as this: http://www.businessinsider.com/barack-obama-george-bush-blast-us-politics-2017-10.
Just as Ronald Reagan was forced by the one-worlders to accept George H.W. Bush as Vice President, Donald Trump accepted several agents of the elites in his administration, including Rex Tillerson at State. Rex Tillerson is, of course, the former Chairman of the Boy Scouts of America who voluntarily capitulated to the “gay” agenda despite holding the ultimate Ace-in-the-Hole in the form of a US Supreme Court ruling specifically recognizing the Boy Scout’s right to discriminate against homosexuality in its ranks. https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/politics/2017/01/07/tillerson-showed-pragmatism-head-boy-scouts/KzEevXTrrwx1dc39oxSeBI/story.html.
Who was Tillerson’s partner in that moral treason? Robert Gates, who, after homosexualizing the US military, then succeeded Tillerson at the Boy Scouts. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/robert-gates-boy-scouts-gay-leaders/399716/
What is it about the homosexual agenda that is so important to the elites that they would not just destroy the moral foundations of the Boy Scouts and the military to advance it but aggressively cram it down the throats of every morally conservative country of the world – even in Eastern Europe where we are competing with overtly pro-family Russia for favor? Why would men like Tillerson and Klemm continue to push that agenda in countries like Romania even under the Trump administration and in the face of a growing global revolution against political-correctness that was sparked by such policies? It is insanity that can only be explained in spiritual terms.
Destroying the Biblical presuppositions of Judeo-Christian civilization is the necessary prerequisite to imposing the new world order of their envisioned global socialist government. This is why – in the world of geo-politics — the newly re-Christianized and increasingly pro-family Russian Federation is their scapegoat and target of incessant war propaganda. It is why – inside US borders — the elites are rushing desperately to criminalize Christian values on sexuality (from banning reparative therapy for “gays,” to punishing any refusal to embrace transgender newspeak). This is also why the entire leftist block, from Antifa and BLM at the street level to the “Establishment” of both political parties, and the lying media, is united to “resist” President Trump and falsely portray him as a “fascist:” because the Samson-like Donald Trump – as unlikely a champion of Judeo-Christian values as was that Biblical Judge of the Philistines – represents the greatest threat to the swamp they have faced since Reagan.
In the long process of draining the DC Swamp, the executive department to watch is State, whose leadership has long enjoyed a revolving-door relationship with the Bush and Clinton political dynasties, the CIA, and the Department of Defense. For the swamp draining to be real and lasting, changes must be reflected not just around the edges, but in the heart of the swamp as well, and it must not simply pander to domestic populist priorities like immigration: it must restore respect for the common foundation of all civilization: authentic marriage and the natural family. The true litmus test for making America – and the world – great is our response to the culture-destroying “gay” agenda, and the true measure of our national sanity is whether we stop trying to force the world to normalize it.
Where Columbus Day Still Matters
America’s Marxist revolutionaries, led by the guerrilla group “Antifa,” co-opted Columbus Day (October 9th) for a day of rage and vandalism against the legacy of Christopher Columbus, or as he is known in the Spanish world, Cristobal Colon. Antifa has actually done us a service by bringing attention to a monumental historical event that (under pressure from the left, ironically) has been increasingly downplayed in America, where it has been relegated to the status of a boring bank holiday alongside “Presidents’ Day.”
Unexpectedly, my current research project in Spain on the “Golden Age” of Christian/Jewish/Moslem harmony on the Iberian Peninsula has been dominated by the phenomenon of Columbus Day and I can tell you that the Spanish go “ALL IN” for Mr. Colon on this massive national holiday, which was celebrated here in Spain on October 12th.
World Net Daily published my article “Antifa Turns its Guns on Hispanics” on October 8th http://www.wnd.com/2017/10/antifa-turns-its-guns-on-hispanics/ in which I discussed the interesting timing of Antifa’s day of rage against Columbus monuments in the US and the announcement by the (leftist) Catalonian separatists that they would declare independence from Spain on the same day (though that declaration has yet too occur – thanks to the major pushback by the conservative Spanish government and an exodus of multinational corporations from Barcelona, the capital of the Catalon province). As I pointed out in my article, the Catalonians are casting themselves as anti-Fascists much the same as the hard left is doing in the US, and this all seems to be part of a global strategy by the left. http://abcnews.go.com/International/strikes-catalonia-leaders-push-independence-spain/story?id=50260034
My wife and I flew into Barcelona from Tel Aviv just hours after the vote for independence and got caught up in some street demonstrations as we drove north across Catalon to Andorra then next day. We have been touring Spain ever since, arriving on the 7th in Valladolid – where Christopher Columbus died in 1506 — just as both the secession news (and the Antifa news back home) was peaking, so I wrote my WND article and included a few pictures, including one of the massive monument to Columbus in Valladolid.
Two days ago, on October 12th, we arrived in Granada without having known either that this was the Spanish Columbus Day or that this was the city in which Columbus received his commission from King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to make the journey that would result in his discovery of the Americas. (An impressive monument commemorating that meeting stands just a hundred yards from our hotel.) Consequently for us, the city is simply mobbed with people, and tickets to the Alhambra (Moorish) fortress above the city were completely sold out (though so much of the site is open to the public that we really don’t feel like we missed anything).
My point in writing this short update is just that Americans shouldn’t allow political correctness to rob us of our heritage. Columbus Day should be an even bigger deal in America than it is here in Spain.
I also want to thank God for arranging this completely unique experience for Anne and me. Arriving in Barcelona, Valladolid and Granada just when we did and in that precise sequence, with no prior planning or awareness, what a remarkable thing!
Oh, one last item. At the end of our day at Alhambra, as we were walking back to our hotel, talking religion, history and politics as we always do, we stopped in a park at the base of the mountain fortress to rest. Spray painted across the stone bench there was the bare message “Anti-Fascists.” It was just that singular, incongruous exclamation with no apparent logic or purpose for being in that spot, except perhaps as a wink and a nod of confirmation from the Lord that I was on the right track in my assessment of who’s really driving the secessionist movement.
Zionism, Antisemitism and Christianity: A Letter from Israel
I hold to my own refinement of protestant theology which I call Whole Bible Christianity, that in some ways parallels Messianic Judaism but with an emphasis on reintroducing the Two House teaching to modern Christians. The Two House teaching unifies the Old and New Testaments of the Bible without the need of creative interpretations or spiritualizing the text. It also corrects the error of supersecessionism, or “replacement theology” which is the root of antisemitism in Christianity: http://christinprophecy.org/articles/the-evil-of-replacement-theology/
I first learned about replacement theology in 1995 or 96 from an elderly Jewish woman who introduced herself as a close relative of Stephen Spielberg (his mother Leah Adler, I think), who called me on the phone one day to ask my position on it. My recent co-authorship of The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party with Orthodox Jewish researcher Kevin E. Abrams had understandingly become a topic of interest in the Jewish community and she had somehow found my phone number.
I was still pretty much a baby Christian at that time and I was too embarrassed to admit to her that I really didn’t know what replacement theology was. She was a very sweet person who was audibly nervous in talking with me and I’m afraid my hedging on the topic (to hide my ignorance) left her with the false perception that I was sympathetic to that view, which clearly distressed her. I’ve always regretted that but had no way to rectify it.
I think the average American Christian today is as ignorant of replacement theology and its role in antisemitism as I was in 1995, and even less aware of the Two House teaching that corrects it.
Replacement theology is simply the belief that when Jesus came as Messiah and was rejected by the Jews, Christians replaced them as God’s “chosen people.” The doctrine is rooted in a failure to recognize God’s separate relationship with the two houses of the Hebrews established when Jacob married two wives: Leah and Rachel, and had a total of twelve children by them and their handmaidens.
We must first understand the meaning of “chosen people.” Abraham was chosen by God to be the patriarch of a new family line among humanity through which God would guide the world away from wickedness toward righteousness. By blessing them when they were obedient and punishing them when they were disobedient, He used the chosen people as a living example for the world of what to do and what not to do to please Him. For example, the substitution of a lamb for Isaac set a new standard for the world that God could not be worshipped through human sacrifice. Whenever the Hebrews fell back into that sin, God punished them so terribly that the entire world was shocked by the example.
“And [King Manasseh] made his son pass through the fire [as a sacrifice to Molech]…And the LORD spake…saying, ‘Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations…Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle…and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down’ ” (2 Kings 6-13). Today, the rejection of human sacrifice is considered a universal human value and such practices are limited to shadowy satanic cults, a complete reversal from the age of Abraham. The Mosaic law served the same purpose of guiding the spiritual evolution of the world, readying humanity for the New Covenant in Christ.
The “chosen people” also suffered a serious consequence when they rejected Jesus as the Messiah, but the consequence was NOT replacement by the Christians. Paul makes this clear in Romans 11: “I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! …. From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”
God’s promises are unbreakable, and this is the key to understanding the two houses and the true relationship of Christians and Jews. He gave a set of promises to Abraham that were held as a package by Isaac and Jacob, but were divided between the children of Jacob’s two wives: Leah and Rachel (Ruth 4:11). Leah’s house became the House and eventual Kingdom of Judah. Rachel’s house became the House and eventual Kingdom of Israel. Under Solomon, David’s united kingdom was split asunder, with Judah and Benjamin (plus Levites) forming the Kingdom of Judah while the other ten tribes under Ephraim (aka Israel – Jeremiah 31:9) formed the northern Kingdom of Israel (though some members of each tribe could always be found in both kingdoms). During a subsequent war, the Judeans were first called “Jews” (2 Kings 16:6) and that has ever since distinguished the House of Judah from the House of Israel.
The House and Kingdom of Israel fell into idolatry from Day One and was eventually “divorced” by God and sent away (Jeremiah 3:8), but God had a plan for their restoration that included the death and resurrection of a Savior, Yeshua Ha’Maschiach — Jesus Christ, who offered the gift of salvation first to the House of Israel (Matthew 15:24), then to the House of Judah (Matthew 23:37-39), and then to the Gentiles (John 4, Galatians 2:8). These few threads are an accurate representation of a fascinating and comprehensive tapestry of doctrine that spans the entire breadth of scripture [See Romans 11, Hosea 1-3, Jeremiah 2-3, Ezekiel 37:15-23].
It is the House of Judah which resides in Israel today, a blend of secularized ethnic Jews motivated by political Zionism and religious Jews motivated by the spiritual Zionism rooted in the promise of Genesis 17:8: “And I will give unto thee…all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession.” The House of Judah is both the “wife” never divorced by God (Hosea 1-3) – (and thus still subject to the Mosaic Law pending the second coming of Christ) – and the “son” of God (Hosea 1-3) described in the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-31) as the elder brother, jealous of the younger brother (Romans 11:11).
It is the House of Israel (the divorced wife sent away into the wilderness and the prodigal son who squandered his inheritance and lived among the Gentiles) that was redeemed by accepting Christ, “As indeed he says in Hosea [1-3], “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved’” (Romans 9:25). Not just Hebrews, but every Gentile who has been “grafted in,” for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).
The reconciliation of these two houses is a central theme of end-time prophecy. “And He will lift up a standard for the nations And assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth. Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, And those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, And Judah will not harass Ephraim” (Isaiah 11:12-13). The reconciliation will only be completed in the Millennial Kingdom that begins with the second coming of Christ but it has already begun.
This ingathering phenomenon of the two houses, which is known today as “Zionism,” was begun in Jerusalem as a ministry to Jews by British Christians of the House of Israel decades before it became a formal political campaign of the House of Judah under Theodor Herzl in 1897. It began under Queen Victoria, who (rightly or wrongly) believed the British monarchy was descended from Judean royalty – during the rise of the Christian movement called British Israelism which peaked with the British liberation of the Holy Land from the Ottoman Empire in 1917 and the issuance of the Balfour Declaration inviting Jews back to Israel that same year.
The first agents of what later became known as “Zionism” were Anglican Christians of the 1830s who built the first protestant church in the middle east (in the model of a synagogue), where I am now composing this letter.
I am publishing this letter to challenge Christian believers to reject “replacement theology” and embrace their identity as wild olive branches grafted into the Hebrew root that is common to both Christians and Jews. That is the true solution to antisemitism reflecting the mind and heart of God.
The Petros Prophecy
Biblical Law, Grace and ‘Gay’ Recidivism
Ex-“gays” have been a part of the Christian church from its earliest days. After reminding believers that “homosexuals” and “effeminates” (male transsexuals) “will not inherit the Kingdom of God,” the Apostle Paul wrote: “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). This scripture was foundational to the ministry of Exodus International, which served as a hub for many independent groups of ex-“gays” around the world from 1976 to 2013. Exodus was so named to evoke the exodus of the Hebrew slaves from Egypt in the Bible, and to analogize compulsive same-sex attraction and conduct to slavery from which one could be delivered by God.
Though I have never experienced same-sex attraction, I attended several Exodus conferences and other functions and was deeply impressed by the glowing Christian character of many of its members and the overpowering presence of the Holy Spirit, especially during their worship in music. I have always had a special place in my heart for “gay” strugglers and have ministered to many individuals over the years as an aspect of my Bible-based Christian activism.
As with any compulsive behavioral disorder, homosexuality is tough to overcome. There’s an aspect of physiology involved in all addictions – drugs, alcohol, food, gambling, video games, porn, whatever – that addicts the struggler to his or her own pleasure-related brain chemicals that are released when they act out. Unlike most other addictions, however, sex-based ones are especially hard to escape because sexuality is hard-wired in us and the brain chemistry associated with sexual release is extraordinarily powerful. If you never experienced cocaine, you’d never miss it, but everyone is sexual by nature, and the sexual impulse is continual throughout life, whether you want it or not.
Once your brain associates sexual pleasure with any particular illicit act or fetish – especially during the formative years – the stage is set for possible addiction. You can’t un-ring the bell and you can’t prevent the bell from ringing again in the part of your brain where temptations dwell. The more you indulge the temptation, the louder and more insistent the bell will ring. What is worse, the shame associated with indulgence create an inner turmoil which enhances the effect of the brain chemistry and becomes a part of the addictive cycle.
I was miraculously healed of drug and alcohol addiction in 1986 – on my knees in prayer at a treatment center – after sixteen years of bondage that started at the age of 12. I never had another desire to drink or take drugs ever again. Nevertheless, I attended Alcoholics Anonymous regularly for over a year and saw that for many addicts temptation fades very slowly but they can stay abstinent through the constant mutual encouragement of fellow-sufferers. A few years later when I became familiar with Exodus International, I noticed that the successful local groups of ex-“gays” seemed to follow the same general approach.
AA enjoys enormous public support, even among drunks who don’t wish to seek recovery. Nevertheless, the recidivism rate for alcoholics is very high. Exodus International, on the other hand, suffered the wrath of the powerful LGBT political movement from Day One because every one of its members was living proof that homosexual self-indulgence is a choice. Every member was thus individually a target – with the goal of forcing them to recant and re-commit to a “gay” self-identification. And, of course, many did, including Alan Chambers, who closed Exodus in 2013 with an apology for ever suggesting homosexuals could overcome same-sex temptation. Alan went back to Egypt, metaphorically speaking, while the network of ex-“gay” groups simply migrated from Exodus to the more Biblically-oriented Restored Hope Network and added him to their prayer list.
But if vilification and ridicule are the “stick,” then the “carrot” in “gay” recidivism is so-called “gay theology:” the Christian heresy that fraudulently reinterprets the Bible to change its message from condemnation to affirmation of homosexuality. From apostate Derrick Sherwin Bailey’s Homosexuality and the Western Christian Tradition in 1955 to the just-published manifesto “The Statement” http://www.christiansunitedstatement.org/ (in response to the Biblically grounded “Nashville Statement” on LGBT issues https://cbmw.org/nashville-statement/), “gay theology” has always been satanic bait to lure those with same-sex attraction into lives of active homosexual sin. It is also a seductive siren-song for ex-“gays” in the weak moments of their recovery.
In tandem with “gay theology” is the heresy of antinomianism, which holds that salvation by grace frees the Christian believer from accountability to the moral law (which fails the most basic test of logic if theft or murder is substituted for sodomy in the equation: reductio-ad-absurdum). Antinomianism is the heresy Paul debunked in the book of Romans, which, importantly, begins with a correlation of homosexuality with the “reprobate mind” (Rom 1:18-32), before launching into a detailed treatise on law and grace in chapters 2-8, contrasting “justification” (salvation by faith alone, Rom 5:1), with “sanctification” (becoming Christlike, Rom 6:12-19).
Effective ministry to Christian “ex-“gays” and backsliders requires a basic understanding of Paul’s teaching. While justification is by faith alone, sanctification requires work: specifically, following the spirit of the moral law that underlies the letter of the law proactively. To the argument that “gay sex” (or stealing) will send you to hell, the heretics cite “salvation by faith alone” and they’re right on that narrow technicality when taken out of context.
But their deadly error is missing the truth about sanctification: 1) becoming Christlike is not possible without following the spirit of the moral law and cooperating with Him in the transformation process, and 2) only a false Christ contradicts the spirit of the moral law to rationalize sin, meaning if you’re doing that in His name you’re probably not saved because you can’t be justified by faith in a false Christ. This is why “faith without works is dead” (James 2:20) because faith is proved by its fruit (changed character and behavior) – as measured by the spirit of the moral law.
“Gay” heresy also confuses grace with mercy. Grace is God’s dispensation of an unearned gift, while mercy is His forgiveness for sin-earned punishment. Moral equations involving homosexuality and its consequences are not governed by grace but mercy. Thus, the darkest spiritual condition arises from declaring that homosexual temptation and conduct is a “gift” of God (blaspheming Him – and the Holy Spirit – by contradicting His explicit moral law), while simultaneously pushing away His hand of mercy by insisting that homosexual sin doesn’t need forgiveness. Such a person is doubly cursed.
“Gay theology” is thus not just a threat to the integrity of the Church, it is a diabolical trap designed to ensnare same-sex attracted believers in a soul-binding heresy. Our duty is to boldly affirm the truth and encourage them to do the same – especially if they’re backslidden – because grace can come only from the true Christ, and forgiveness is only effective for those who admit they need it. The Apostle John perhaps said it best in 1 John 1:8-10: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” That graceful summary contains both the essence of “gay” recovery and the remedy for recidivism.
The True Leftist Identity of the So-Called ‘Far Right’
History matters. Those who fail to learn from it are doomed to repeat its mistakes. Those ignorant of the history of Nazism and “white supremacist” groups like the KKK, for example, might make the mistake of associating these groups with political conservatism, while nothing could be further from the truth.
Let’s start by remembering that American conservatism is grounded in the Bible, and what it seeks to conserve is a society conformed to the Biblical world view. That’s why conservatism is so heavily focused on the Founding Fathers and the U.S. Constitution, and the most intense political battles between conservatives and liberals relate to “original intent” and “traditional values.” On race relations, the New Testament is quite clear that – as individuals – all human beings are equally valuable to God and to be judged on their conduct not their ethnicity: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” reads Galatians 3:28, summarizing the Biblical view.
Yes, the Bible allowed various forms of slavery in the Old Testament (but never based on skin color), just as it allowed divorce and polygamy – all practices which God disapproved. Importantly, these were world-wide practices in those days which the Bible regulated in such a way as to steer the world away from barbarism toward civility. Biblical law must always be viewed in contrast to the extreme depravity and wickedness of the pagan world at that time. Modern critics point to such statutes as “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” to suggest God endorsed mayhem, but in reality, it was the world’s first law restricting revenge to a proportional response. In every statute of the Mosaic Law, God was teaching principles of self and social governance to the world through the people He had assigned to be the example of a better way. By the time of Christ, the higher Biblical standards of the Hebrews had raised civilization to a level that it could understand and follow a New Covenant. Slavery, divorce and polygamy were all actively discouraged in the New Testament.
The anti-slavery movement has always been a primarily Christian phenomenon from its earliest roots in the 14th Century AD. The modern popular abolitionist version was epitomized by William Wilberforce and the Clapham Sect of Anglican believers in the late 1700s. American abolitionism followed their lead, and made slow incremental steps in the right direction. Without the progress of Christianity in its long, continuing contest with paganism there would never have been an end to slavery.
In contrast, “white supremacy” is a doctrine of the occult, built upon the ancient anti-Creationist worldview we call Evolution, which was popularized (not invented) by Charles Darwin. In the late 1850s Darwin emerged as the ideological savior of the African-slave-owning world just as post-Reformation Christianity began making major strides against slavery. Later, in 1871, Darwin wrote “At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races… The break [between humans and non-humans] will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the negro or Australian [aboriginal] and the gorilla.” Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man, p. 156.
In other words, Darwin taught that Blacks were just an intermediary step in human evolution between apes and whites. This gave “scientific” backing to the logic of the infamous Dred Scott decision denying constitutional protections to Black African slaves, a ruling handed down by the US Supreme Court three years prior to the first publication of Darwin’s most famous book On the Origin of the Species.
Darwinian racism was given further wings and an “Aryan supremacist” flavor when it was adopted by occultist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, founder of the global and enormously influential Theosophical Society. In her 1888 book The Secret Doctrine, Blavatsky asserted that humanity had descended from a series of “Root Races,” naming the Aryan Race as the 5th and currently dominant one out of an eventual seven. Blavatsky succinctly showcased the logic of Darwinism in her occultic delusions, writing “The intellectual difference between the Aryan…and such savages as the South Sea Islanders, is inexplicable on any other grounds. No amount of culture, nor generations of training amid civilization, could raise such human specimens as the Bushmen, the Veddhas of Ceylon, and some African tribes, to the same intellectual level….Thus will mankind, race after race, perform its appointed cycle-pilgrimage…dropping one sub-race, but only to beget another higher race on the ascending cycle; while a series of other less favoured groups — the failures of nature — will…vanish from the human family” (Vol II, p 421, 446).
However, it was Adolf Hitler’s early inspiration, the defrocked homosexual monk Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels and his occult partner Guido von List that redefined “Aryan” to mean “Nordic” to produce what we recognize today as “White Supremacy.” Lanz and List led Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society in Germany, where Lanz published Hitler’s favorite magazine “Ostara,” and later (with List) the Theosophical magazine “Lucifer.” Lanz was The Man Who Gave Hitler His Ideas, (according to Austrian psychologist Wilfried Daim in his 1957 book of that title https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilfried_Daim) and flew a swastika flag above his castle in Bavaria in 1907, a dozen years before the Nazi Party was even founded.
Lanz isn’t normally credited with inspiring the Ku Klux Klan, but a simple Internet search for images of the man will show that he sported a white hooded robe long before the KKK adopted that as its uniform, as well as Lanz’s “white supremacist” philosophy. It must also be remembered that the KKK’s primary political target was the Republican Party, whose roots are in the anti-slavery movement, while the KKK was primarily populated by Democrats, even into the 20th Century (e.g. US Senator Robert Byrd, D. West Virginia, and Democrat US Senate Candidate become Supreme Court Justice, Hugo Black).
While the radical left is today campaigning hard against “fascism,” it’s own storm troopers in groups like Antifa are following the playbook of the 1920s Nazi Brownshirts to the letter. This makes perfect sense when one remembers that the Brownshirts were not conservatives, but Socialists and named themselves so! Even their fellow Germans called them “beefsteaks” – brown on the outside, red on the inside (a reference to the Communist street fighters that inspired them to form their own force).
Lastly, there are only two high-profile American Nazis in recent decades: homosexual Frank Collins, who led the Nazi march on Skokie, IL in 1977 (later being jailed for sex with teen boys) and George Lincoln Rockwell who headed the American Nazi Party from 1959 to 1967. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) “[In] Rockwell’s group gays made up a “significant” — if carefully hidden — part.” SPLC goes on to admit “Although it will come as a surprise to many, there has long been a fascist gay subculture. Hitler’s paramilitary SA storm troopers had a significant gay element.” (Despite this the SPLC designates my ministry as a “hate group” because my Orthodox Jewish co-author Kevin Abrams and I wrote The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party documenting the full extent of the “gay”/Nazi connection in Germany and the United States.)
No the so-called “far right” is not conservative, it is and has always been the outer fringe of the far left.
