Our Pro-Family Flag
The Russians have designed a new flag to counter the rainbow flag, which has sadly come to represent “gay fever” in the world.
http://dailycaller.com/2015/07/09/russia-unveils-straight-pride-flag-to-rival-gay-flag/
Abiding Truth Ministries has modified the flag to change the Russian caption “Real Families,” to “Natural Families: The Ecosystem of Humanity.”
I think this will be our new logo.
New Pederasty Accusation vs HRC Founder Terry Bean
Our lead news link at DefendtheFamily today is this story:
http://registerguard.com/rg/news/local/33281409-75/story.csp
see also for more dirt: http://www.pioneertruth.org/hrc/
Yes, HRC stands for Human Rights Campaign, the very same homofascist organization that named me global public enemy #1 of the LGBT agenda for opposing and exposing pederasty in Uganda, Russia and around the world. (See http://www.scottlively.net/2014/09/17/hrc-has-targeted-me-for-murder/)
HRC’s founder, Obama Mega-Bundler Terry Bean was recently hit with new accusations of sexual abuse of a teenage boy. His trial on an earlier pederasty charge is scheduled to begin August 11th.
Note that “Bean allegedly paid the victim $40 after the encounter and encouraged the boy to join a support group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youths, according to the document.” I’ve alleged for years that these “LGBT youth groups” are nothing more than predator grooming centers.

Coincidentally, I’ll be in Oregon in early August. Regarding all of these LGBT horror stories coming out of Oregon, I’m planning to have my picture taken in front of the Capitol building with a sign reading:
“WE TOLD YOU SO!”
Oregon Citizens Alliance
And I’m going to write an editorial on that theme listing Oregon examples of homofascism and LGBT crimes since 1992 when Oregon voted down our Ballot Measure 9, which would have stopped the LGBT agenda dead in its tracks.
Please send me any links you may have that I should cite in my article… and also send me email addresses of editorial submission contacts you may have for Oregon newspapers. Please forward this to your Oregon friends.
Blessings,
Dr. Scott Lively
btw, an article I wrote when the Terry Bean story first broke cites other prominent “gay” activists with pederasty scandals: http://www.scottlively.net/2014/11/20/hrc-founders-pederasty-charge-is-sweet-vindication-from-god/
Report on my SMUG Deposition
Friends,
I’m not going to go into details but if I had to choose only one phrase to describe the SMUG attorneys’ efforts in their two days of grilling me under oath at their luxury Manhattan offices it would be “grasping at straws.” The veteran “hired gun” trial attorney they brought in from Boston to interrogate me was clearly frustrated that the SMUG legal team was expecting him to “make bricks without straw” as it were, since the very documents they gave him to question me about contained my rebuttals to their accusations.
For example, they voluntarily entered into evidence my Letter to the Uganda Parliament and Reply that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that I vigorously opposed the extremely harsh Ugandan Anti-homosexuality Bill which SMUG insists I masterminded — the essential premise of their lawsuit.
http://www.defendthefamily.com/pfrc/newsarchives.php?id=3261726
And on the second day they played into the record the entire 42 minutes of my April 2012 interview with Roadkill Radio in which I exposed in detail the utter dishonesty of the SMUG lawsuit. It is unfathomable to me that anyone, let alone trained attorneys, could think this radio show helps their case.
The whole deposition was like that: his skillful (but to me transparent) attempts to get me to agree with his deliberate mischaracterizations of my words and actions, defeated by my reference to clear explanatory statements in the same documents that show what I actually said and did.
Though I was glad the truth was getting on the record, I actually felt a little sorry for him. To make matters worse for him, whenever we went on the record and he started grilling me, a huge jack-hammer type piece of heavy equipment — big as a bulldozer — started up in the construction project across the street where (for the whole two day period) a crew was breaking up a gigantic two-foot thick slab of concrete. He commented frequently about how irritating it was to him, though it didn’t bother me at all.
The whole jack-hammer thing seemed like an obvious metaphor for the steady and relentless chipping away of their frivolous lawsuit by the hammer of truth. It also seemed quite obviously to be directed by the hand of the Lord in answer to all the prayers that were going up for me and my attorneys by hundreds of people around the world. By the way, our Liberty Counsel team led by Harry Mihet served its role at the highest level of professionalism.
I want to thank everyone who prayed for us, and to give all glory to God for what I believe was a great victory for truth in this latest in a long string of legal skirmishes. The case will likely continue, since I don’t believe the Center for Constitutional Rights (whose attorneys are the people driving the lawsuit and milking it as a lucrative fundraising cash-cow) has the integrity to dismiss it on their own initiative. But God is still in charge and I ask you to join me in continuing to pray that His will, not my will be done, whatever that may be.
I’ll keep you posted as events continue to unfold.
Blessings,
Dr. Scott Lively
Justice that arrives like a thunderbolt
As expected, SCOTUS today declared a constitutional right to “gay marriage” by judicial fiat. I haven’t read the ruling and may not ever do so since it really doesn’t matter what its reasoning is. The decision is illegitimate on its face because Justices Ginsberg and Kagan were disqualified from voting under the fundamental rules of judicial ethics because they each performed same sex “weddings” during the period of deliberations when the parties were legally entitled to impartiality by the jurists.
In response to the ruling, Mr. Obama called it an example of “justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.” That phrase turns logic and morality on its head as it relates to official government endorsement of sexual perversion. But I suspect it will eventually, perhaps very soon, be recognized in retrospect as an unwitting prophecy about God’s punishment on America for what she has just done.
###
12:30pm I just received an email from my ex-‘gay’ friend Greg Quinlan informing me that today’s “gay marriage” ruling happens to fall on the anniversary of the fall of Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Judah in 586BC to Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzer: the ninth day of the fourth month of the Hebrew calendar.
“Coincidentally,” in our daily chapter by chapter Bible study at Holy Grounds Coffee House that we began in Genesis more than two years ago, we arrived today at Jeremiah 39, which reads in verse 2: 2And on the ninth day of the fourth month of Zedekiah’s eleventh year, the city wall was broken through.
Amazing.
###
Now consider all of this in light of Revelation 16: 17Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, “It is done.” 18And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. 19The great city [Jerusalem] was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great [America] was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath. 20And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21And huge hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, came down from heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague was extremely severe.
Update on SMUG Lawsuit
Friends,
Here is an article about yesterday’s hearing in Springfield Federal Court regarding a motion filed by SMUG’s lawyers to try to prevent me from seeing SMUG documents related to my defense.
www.masslive.com/news/index.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday I will be in Manhattan for my deposition at the offices of Dorsey and Whitney, a large international law firm allied with the so-called Center for Constitutional Rights. I don’t know how many of the now 13 lawyers on SMUG’s team will be part of the deposition.
Some supporters have said they want to have a prayer presence outside during the deposition. I am neither promoting nor discouraging this, but if the Lord prompts you to do so, the address is 51 West 52nd St, NYC (the CBS building). Of course, as far as prayer goes, its effectiveness is not dependent on proximity to the subject, so wherever you may be please do pray for me during that time as you feel led.
I received a wonderfully encouraging note from a Sister in the Lord the other day that I will share below. I think the Elijah reference is particularly apt as the size of SMUG’s army of Baalists grows on the metaphorical “Mount Carmel” of this case.
Blessings,
Dr. Scott Lively
“June 15, 2015
Dear Dr. Lively,
During my quiet time on Saturday, I felt strongly that I should
encourage you by what I believe our Lord was speaking to me about
your upcoming deposition.
He reminded me of the situation in I Kings chapter 18 dealing
with Elijah and King Ahab and Jezebel and the prophets of Baal.
In this story, you would be represented by Elijah.
Ahab and Jezebel would be your persecutors and the prophets of
Baal and Asherah would represent the huge group of misled people
who oppose you in the homosexual adjenda.
Observations…
Verse 18….
Elijah speaks clearly even though his words condemn Ahab. We see
that Elijah speaks with power and authority…not using words to
soften anything…just the plain Truth (as you do Dr. Lively)
Verse 22….
Elijah believes he is the only one who believes as he does….I am
sure you have felt that way on occasion as the church of Christ
has been not vocal against this agenda (I believe due to fear of
persecution).
If you are familiar with Richard Wurmbrand, many pastors,
when presented with an opportunity
to speak against Hitler’s plans, did not, because they were
afraid. Only Pastor Wurmbrand openly opposed him.
You seem to be a lone voice (albeit a courageous one for
which we are thankful). So…it is Elijah against 950 + Ahab and
Jezebel….doesn’t it seem that way today?
Verse 28…
We see the foolishness of the false prophets in the continuing of
hoping their god would answer
and even cutting themselves (self destruction) rather than admit
that their gods didn’t exist.
Chapter 19 verse 3….Elijah was afraid of Jezebel’s threat. So
afraid that he wanted to quit. If I were in your position, I know
those thoughts would come to me.
Verse 19:13…
From here on we see the outcome of Elijah (God cares for him and
grants his wish to quit along with appointing a successor)…..he
gets the opportunity to learn of and spend time with God.
AND We see the outcome of his enemies….
Chapter 22:37
Both Ahab & Jezebel are killed and the dogs lick up their blood.
“It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living
God”
A promise verse for you….fits perfectly
Hebrews 10:32-36
“Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,
when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of
suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and
persecution…you sympathized with those in prison and joyfully
accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that
you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not
throw away your confidence. It will be richly rewarded. You need
to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will
receive what he has promised”.
May Jesus continue to bless you, your family, and your ministry!
Carol”
King Obama has NO Legal Authority Over the Church
One week from today on June 15th 2015, the world will celebrate the 800 year anniversary of the Magna Charta, the “Great Charter of Liberties” which the Archbishop of Canterbury and the medieval Barons of England famously forced King John to sign in the fields at Runnymede, June 15, 1215 near Windsor (which castle still houses the British monarchy). Importantly, the first priority of this venerable charter was the recognition of the sovereignty of the Christian church:
“[1] In the first place we grant to God and confirm by this our present charter for ourselves and our heirs in perpetuity that the English Church is to be free and to have all its rights fully and its liberties entirely. We furthermore grant and give to all the freemen of our realm for ourselves and our heirs in perpetuity the liberties written below to have and to hold to them and their heirs from us and our heirs in perpetuity.”
As I wrote previously in my essay The Death of Human Rights, that first principle of the Magna Charta survived nearly eight centuries — until it was effectively neutralized and superseded by so-called “gay rights” in the body of UK laws known collectively as “Sexual Orientation Regulations” (SORs) http://www.scottlively.net/2012/12/10/the-death-of-human-rights/
These SORs are indeed like open sores on the body politic, and are increasingly used to punish and suppress public expressions of Biblical truth about homosexuality and related perversions, as in the case of preacher Dale McAlpine:
http://blog.speakupmovement.org/church/uncategorized/christian-preacher-arrested-for-saying-that-homosexual-behavior-is-a-sin/
The Magna Charta (or Carta, both spellings are correct), is heralded as the cornerstone of modern human rights law, and indeed was a legal milestone of enormous significance. But there is a much greater foundation-stone beneath the Magna Charta, the Holy Bible, upon which all human rights ultimately rest.
It was no accident that King John was called to account by the Archbishop of Canterbury, for while it was the English Barons whose grievances forced the issue, it was the church which held the independent legal power to force the change. That’s because from the earliest days of western legal history there has always been a “Separation of Church and State,” meaning that the king and the church occupy separate and independent spheres of power and authority within the larger society.
When the legitimate grievances of English Barons were disregarded by the Court of Law (the realm of King John), they appealed to the Court of Equity (the realm of the church)
.
This separation of powers goes all the way back to the time of Moses and the Biblical “Cities of Refuge,” under the control of the Levitical Priests, where an accused murderer could flee for sanctuary pending a trial to determine his guilt or innocence (Numbers 35:9-28).
The concept of law vs. equity was central to common law jurisprudence and survives even to this day in the U.S. courts, though few understand its roots. Here’s a simple explanation of it http://patch.com/florida/templeterrace/court-of-law-vs-court-of-equity-why-it-matters-to-you-9. Here is a more substantial treatise
http://www.fjc.gov/history/home.nsf/page/jurisdiction_equity.html
Classic film buffs will recognize this church/state separation in the story of Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, safe only so long as he remained in the cathedral, but subjected to the lash and pillory under the King’s law when he ventured out of his “city of sanctuary” for the distressed damsel, Esmeralda.
And, of course, the concept of “sanctuary cities” has been recently misapplied by the ever lawless Obama administration and co-conspirator Democrat city mayors to shield illegal aliens from deportation. But I digress…
Importantly, like the Magna Charta, the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution also sets as its first principle the sovereignty of the Christian church (as indeed “religion“ was largely synonymous with “Christian denomination“ to the drafters):
“Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof….” states the First Amendment.
And importantly, here in the United States as in Europe, it is the redefinition of various sexual perversions as “human rights” that threatens true human rights as understood from the earliest beginnings of human rights jurisprudence. I summarized this history in 2006 in the Riga Declaration on Religious Freedom, Family Values and Human Rights here:
http://www.defendthefamily.com/intl/
I am writing this article to remind all of us that the church is and has always been legally free from the control of Kings and Presidents and remains so today. There has been lots of talk lately from the reprobate left to the effect that churches should “lose their tax exempt status” if they refuse to “marry” homosexuals after the Supreme Court rules such unions to be constitutionally protected later this month (as many, including this writer, assume will occur).
However, neither King Obama, nor Congress, nor the United States Supreme Court, nor the UK, nor the EU, nor any human government, has the legal authority to strip the church of its rights and liberties. She is a separate sovereign subject to the Law of God, not the rule of man. The government did not “give” tax exemption to the church, it was and is hers by right, as is the power and duty to reject the redefinition of God’s institution of marriage.
And as a sovereign, these rights are for her inalienable wherever she operates under the legitimate unction of God on behalf of His Kingdom anywhere in this world. This was true before the Magna Charta acknowledged it in 1215 and it is true today and tomorrow irrespective of the opinion of any earthly ruler.
Obama Orchestrated Ukraine Coup to Re-Start Cold War and Prevent Russia from Leading Global Revolt Against LGBT Agenda
I have come to believe that Obama orchestrated the Ukraine coup to re-start the cold war to prevent Russia from leading a global revolt against his most sacred cow, the LGBT agenda. While there were clearly important geo-political factors in Obama’s decision to initiate regime change in Ukraine, I am convinced that the primary impetus was to nip opposition to the international LGBT political steamroller in the bud. I have written about that topic here:
www.scottlively.net/2015/02/
Now comes evidence that Obama pal George Soros (funder of the Marxist law firm suing me for “Crimes Against Humanity” for preaching against homosexuality in Uganda) is a key puppet master in the Ukraine civil war, something I have publicly surmised without proof, until now:
www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-
Unfortunately, Obama’s strategy has worked and Russia has been forced from its former trajectory toward global cooperation with the west into an increasingly adversarial posture as Obama and the GOP Establishment Neo-Cons (united by perversion) continue to portray Russia as a pariah state while simultaneously attempting “regime change“ within its borders.
I believe a consequence of the “punish Russia” strategy is (dangerously for Israel) the transformation of Iran into the key player of the Middle East and the US has been forced to become a suitor (e.g. the sweetheart nuke deal) to our “former” arch-enemy in an attempt to thwart the strengthening of Russian/Iranian relations as Russia turns eastward away from the cold shoulder of the west. And, of course, (dangerously for us) Russian/Chinese relations have warmed considerably for the same reason.
I place the blame for this disturbing transformation squarely at the feet of Obama, whose allegiance to the LGBT agenda supersedes all other concerns, even the very real and growing risk of nuclear war.
I still believe that Russia offers an albeit imperfect model for the west on standing up to the Cultural Marxists but with the US push toward revival of the cold war, the incessant anti-Russian propaganda in the western media, and Russia’s increasing political shift to the east, I hold less hope for an international Russian-led cultural revolution in family values.
Ironically, however, if any hope remains, it may be kept alive by Ukraine, itself. As an astute political observer of my acquaintance recently noted, Kiev thought the West offered them bread but instead gave them LGBT propaganda. Now Ukrainians are protesting in the streets against the “gay” agenda.
russia-insider.com/en/
Obama might yet fail in poisoning the western world against Russia, as he has failed in so many areas of foreign policy. I for one would like to see a restoration of the cooperative trends we saw in US/Russian relations before Obama decided to sabotage them, and in the aftermath of that failure I think unity on family values would go a long way toward healing the rift he has exacerbated between Russia and Ukraine and toward weakening the US/EU perversion agenda in the rest of Eastern Europe and the Baltics.
What God Thinks of Bruce Jenner
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are an abomination unto the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 22:5
To which truth I add the following observation:
Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner is no more an actual woman than Star Trek’s Michael Dorn is an actual Klingon.
Transvestite’s Sick Prank on Girl Not the Worst
A Cambodian TV show played a sick joke on a young teen girl by promising to reunite her with her long-lost Mom, but when the time care for the reunion , her “Mom” turned out to be a male transvestite dressed up like a woman.
http://www.itv.com/news/2015-05-12/tv-show-apologises-for-cruel-prank-on-girl-13-who-thought-she-was-about-to-meet-her-long-lost-mother/
People around the globe are rightfully expressing anger and disgust at this heartless exploitation of a child, yet a far-worse mistreatment of children occurs daily in the western world in the travesty called “Gay Adoption.” 13-year-old Autumn Allen got to go home after being the butt of a sick joke on that show but thousands of children placed with false homosexual “families” through adoption have no choice at all. The joke’s on them — for life.
This teachable moment is sponsored by DefendtheFamily.com, urging you to protect children from exploitation by the LGBT movement by opposing “Gay Marriage” and “Gay Adoption” by every legal means.

Report from the Court
I’ve had a busy month standing up for authentic marriage and the natural family, publishing a series of essays (linked below) and working in coalition with other pro-family leaders on the Restrain the Judges Project under the leadership of Dr. Steve Holze of Conservative Republicans of Texas and project initiator (and human dynamo) Janet Porter of Faith2Action.
On Monday the 27th, our coalition held a press conference on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, DC that a drew a lot of media and a large crowd of observers.
My comments at the press conference were related to a Motion for Recusal drafted by attorneys for Dr. Holze that are expected to be filed soon by one or more parties. Contrary to news reports I did not personally draft the Motion nor will I be filing it myself because I have no standing in the case to do so. However I fully support the Motion and recusal has been my personal emphasis in the national public debate regarding the so-called “gay marriage” cases before the court. Since February I have been publicly insisting that Justices Ginsberg and Kagan have an ethical duty to recuse themselves because they have each officiated at homosexual “wedding” ceremonies, in Ginsberg’s case at the Supreme Court itself.
My comments on recusal led the news story by The Hill, one of the most read and respected media outlets inside the Beltway.
http://thehill.com/regulation/240163-religious-leaders-want-justices-restrained-from-ruling-on-same-sex-marriage
Following is my two-minute commentary which I delivered at the press conference:
RESTRAIN THE JUDGES PRESS CONFERENCE
COMMENTS OF DR. SCOTT LIVELY ON THE STEPS OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, APRIL 27, 2015
A motion will shortly be filed with the Supreme Court calling for the recusal of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Justice Elena Kagan.
Impartiality is the bedrock principle of judicial ethics that has been painstaking preserved throughout the history of this court.
Justices Ginsberg and Kagan, knowing full well that unique legal issues regarding the definition of marriage would soon come before them, deliberately officiated at so-called homosexual wedding ceremonies, creating not merely the appearance of bias, but an actual and blatant conflict of interest.
Indeed, in my personal view they have committed an unparalleled breach of judicial ethics by elevating the importance of their own favored political cause of “gay rights” above the integrity of the court and our nation.
Quoting now from the Motion:
“Due process requires a neutral and detached judge. A hearing before a biased judge is structural error that is not subject to harmless error analysis. See Tumey v. Ohio 273 U.S. 510, 535 (1927) (noting that every litigant has ‘the right to have an impartial judge’). Justices Ginsberg and Kagan have personally and publicly engaged in extrajudicial conduct that dramatically endorses the legal recognition that petitioners seek to have nationalized in these cases. Their vividly demonstrated favorable disposition towards the petitioners ‘is so extreme as to display clear inability to render fair judgment’ Liteky v. United States, 510 U.S. 540, 551 (1994).”
There are three possible remedies for this ethical breach:
1. The first and best is the voluntary recusal of the Justices themselves, following the example of Justices Bryer, Scalia and Thomas in prior cases.
2. Involuntary recusal by order of this court.
3. Removal of jurisdiction over marriage from the court by the United States Congress pursuant to its authority under Article 3, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution.
Marriage is not the creation of secular government, it is the ordinance of Almighty God to whom the Supreme Court, the Congress and even our President are accountable. This coalition calls on all branches of our government to acknowledge this fact and Restrain the Judges from redefining marriage.
###
On the evening of the 27th I appeared on the Alan Colmes show to discuss my article “Time for the Pitchforks and Torches on Marriage Issue,” which was actually an appeal to liberals and progressives to change their position on “gay rights” and join conservatives in working to protect the natural family, which I argue is “the eco-system of humanity” while same-sex unions are artificial and counterfeit alternatives equivalent to artificial vs. natural foods and artificial vs. natural medicines. It was my best-ever debate/conversation with Alan of several appearances over the past few years.
On the 28th, Anne and I joined the crowd at the courthouse briefly to take some pictures and again pray for divine intervention, before driving home last night.
It’s all in God’s hands.
Blessings,
