One of the (many) reasons why I am not a fascist or a Stalinist is because I am rather worried that people might begin to think that I am a repressed and self-hating homosexual who is trying to hide his true self by embracing rightwing Christian fundamentalism. If I ever wavered in my commitment to remain a constitutional democrat and if I ever feared that I would fall into the arms of dangerous spin merchants, there will always be people like Mr Errol Naidoo (who is the director of an outfit called the “Family Policy Unit”) to keep me on the straight and narrow (no pun intended).
Mr Naidoo (see picture on the left), who has the suave charm of a Verimark infomercial presenter and the fading good looks of a celebrity contestant on Fear Factor, is a busy man. (I must confess, if we were both a bit younger and if he had been a bit more careful about his diet, I might have lusted after his body – if not his mind.)
In an email addressed to his fans entitled, “The Windows of Heaven are Open!, he informs all who wish to listen of his latest exciting escapades and thoughts (I use the latter term rather generously, of course). He informs us that he had spent an “exhilarating” two days in the Kruger National Park with his wife, Arlene (whom he refers to with suspicious regularity). “Being up close and personal with God’s awesome creation – in their natural habitat – is an experience Arlene and I will long remember,” he enthuses.
(Why he had to go to the Kruger Park – instead, say, of going to the local Shoprite in Brackenfell or to an HIV clinic in Khayelitsha – to get close to God’s awesome creation is unclear. I guess the folks who demonstrate their sincere commitment to God by donating buckets full of money to his outfit do not begrudge him this little extravagance. After all, people are dirty, troublesome, sinners who have a tendency to make fun of you, while wild animals never talk back and live in the Kruger Park – which is rather more glamorous than Brackenfell.)
But I digress. In the email, Mr Naidoo (I make no comment about the fact that his surname sounds rather similar to an Afrikaans word often used at Stag parties) has the following to say about his wheelings and dealings with politicians and about our sacred constitutional democracy:
There appears to be a growing sense amongst Christians across the country that God is giving the Body of Christ in South Africa a “window of opportunity” to rise up & impact the nation. Despite all the negative reports in the media, many Christians believe God is supernaturally removing barriers to areas of power & authority to provide access for the influence of the Church.
I noticed this shift in attitude towards the Church since the Zuma administration came to power. My submission on gambling law reform to parliament, my partnership with the Dep Minister of Home Affairs, Malusi Gigaba to ban internet pornography, and my work to inform government about the dangers of legalised prostitution, all bear witness to a more family-friendly environment.
The liberal media also appear to recognise this shift in attitude toward family values and are openly attacking government for granting access to the “rightwing Christian fundamentalists”. Several hysterical articles appeared in the media recently criticising government for talking to “shady” Christian organisations like Family Policy Institute. Apparently, groups that disagree with homosexuality and oppose abortion, pornography etc, have no right to engage government.
Read this article by so-called constitutional expert and homosexual activist, Pierre de Vos. ‘The return of fake morality’. A similar article by Tony Weaver was published in the Cape Times. When the Mbeki administration suspended South Africa’s democratic principles in 2006, to railroad same-sex “marriage” legislation through Parliament – despite massive public opposition – people like Pierre de Vos and the pro-homosexual media were conspicuously silent! Ironically, this attitude – promoted in the media – is a violation of core constitutional freedoms…..
P.S. Please forward this to a friend
As I do not like sending spam emails, but at the same time do not want people to think that I have anything against poor Mr Naidoo, I decided to reprint the sizable section of his email above. Hey, Errol, you know what they say: “All publicity is good publicity.” (Or was that rather: “All publicity brings in the bucks?”)
However, it saddens me to note (and I do hope Mr Naidoo and his followers do not take this in the wrong way) that all that time with Gods creatures in the Kruger Park seemed to have affected Mr Naidoo’s ability to construct a rational argument. Mr Naidoo also sadly seems to have lost his memory and has forgotten that we now live in a constitutional democracy (and not in the Christian Nationalist state of the apartheid era).
He seems blissfully unaware that we now have a justiciable Bill of Rights in which the power of the state to oppress people and to discriminate against them based on their personal attributes and characteristics (like their race, sex, disability and sexual orientation) is severely limited.
In a constitutional democracy the religious views of some – and I have no reason to believe that Mr Naidoo and his lovely wife Arlene do not hold their religious views deeply and sincerely – cannot be imposed on society as a whole as this would be in fundamental breach of the rights of those who do not share these views. Sincerity and deeply held convictions do not justify unfair discrimination in a constitutional democracy.
While every person is entitled to believe what he or she wishes (one can believe, for example, that Simba the Lion King is the God Almighty, or that all homosexuals will burn in hell or, even, if one wants to stretch the point, that 300 000 believers will be whisked away to Heaven on the day of the Rapture) a person cannot get the state to force his or her beliefs down the throats of others as this would constitute a fundamental breach of our human rights. (For example, a religious group – even if it had the support of the majority – could not legitimately demand that the state ban all driving on a Sunday because the group happens to believe the Rapture would occur on a Sunday and that driving on that day would therefore cause too many accidents.)
Mr Naidoo is therefore entitled to believe that same-sex marriage is just as evil as child abuse or woman’s liberation – as the leadership of the Catholic Church seem to do, at least about woman’s liberation – but he cannot require the state to enforce that belief by banning same-sex marriage. If he wanted the state to ban same-sex marriage or to force woman to stay barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, he is of course free to emigrate to Saudi Arabia. (I hear Iran also has lovely game parks and rather strict laws on homosexuality – although I am not sure whether they will embrace emigration by right wing Christians.)
He is free to believe what he wants, to preach what he wants and to even practice what he preaches (the latter being a rare occurrence in the overtly pious – at least in my experience). And in the unlikely event that, like many Evangelists in the USA, his animosity towards homosexuals is fueled by a secret desire to have sexual relations with members of the same sex, he is even free to divorce his wife and marry another man – although he will have to go on a diet, radically revise his beliefs, and read a few satyrical novels before I would seriously consider his marriage proposal.
The claim by Mr Naidoo that the “core constitutional freedoms” have been breached by the adoption of same-sex marriage laws can only be sustained if one believed that freedom had nothing to do with freedom at all, and hence that freedom was completely divorced from the notion that people had a right to live their lives free from hatred and discrimination. His view of “constitutional freedoms” would require one to endorse the idea that the state had a right to enforce the views of some on society as a whole.
Such a society would not be free, of course, and neither would it be a substantive democracy. In such a society the only people who would have “core constitutional freedoms” would be those who wielded power and could therefore ensure that their beliefs were enforced through the barrel of a gun and through torture (perhaps by forcing people to listen to Gospel music played backwards), imprisonment or campaigns of social vilification. Such a society would be one in which the human dignity of almost all people would be flagrantly disrespected and would be decidedly undemocratic (a bit like Texas without the big hats, the funny accents, the Hummers and the occasional election).
PS: This post must be read in the same spirit in which Umberto Eco wrote his novel, The Name of the Rose. In this novel a Fransciscan Friar discovers that Monks are being poisoned in a monastery when they read humorous books because some members of the church hierarchy believe that laughter is the antidote to fear and that if one stopped fearing one might also stop believing in God. As Wikipedia explains: “As the plot unfolds, several other people mysteriously die. The protagonists explore a labyrinthine medieval library, the subversive power of laughter, and come face to face with the Inquisition. It is left primarily to [the main protagonist] William’s enormous powers of logic and deduction to solve the mysteries of the abbey.”
I can imagine his attempted refutation already: “That’s just the sort of thing that a ‘so-called constitutional expert and homosexual activist’ would say.” One could almost have more respect for these people if they were to simply come out and say that they don’t subscribe to the values premised by a constitutional democracy – they would at least then have the virtue of consistency.
@ Pierre,
“(I make no comment about the fact that his surname sounds rather similar to an Afrikaans word often used at Stag parties)”
Eish Pierre.
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits!
I hold no brief for Dr Naidoo. But I am grateful that he has added his strong voice to the now-universal condemnation of the “liberal media.”
God bless him!

Hey Dwork,
You seem less drugged today.
Welcome back!
When the constitutional state was formed a great many South Africans petitioned the drafters of the Constitution against the creation of a secular state.
Their views were laughed off.
Perhaps, if ‘others’ were less hostile to my ‘rights’ over which we have root philosophical differences I might be less hostile to ‘others’ ‘rights’ over which we have root philosophical differences?
Is tolerance a one-way street?
And later that same morning, a new missive from Naidoo calls on supporters to join him in a “financial partnership” – the title you picked for this post ends up being rather prescient. Oh, he also claims the credit for getting online gambling banned.
Speechless (Book)
by Don Wildmon
Foreword by Ann Coulter
Meet the Christian bashers, a coalition of liberal secularists, homosexual activists, and Fortune 500 companies waging war on Christianity. Why? Because they can get what they want only by driving Christians out of public life.
The Christian bashers say they want tolerance. Their real goal: Silence any opposition, even if it means:
Christians threatened with prison for protesting the homosexual agenda
Employees of Fortune 500 companies fired for quoting the scriptures
Christian churches ordered by the government to perform lesbian marriages
Antibullying programs promoting homosexuality in schools
The IRS cracking down on Christian pastors who oppose abortion or same-sex marriage.
Next to none of these situations have been reported to the public—which is why Wildmon takes such a bold stand. We need to know how the government agenda is seeping into every facet of our lifestyle—and silencing all opposition.
What drives these “Christian bashers?” you may ask. Wildmon explains that the answer is in their goals—in the quest for sex, money, and power; it is the Christians who will prove to be their biggest opposition. If Christians are silenced, shunted to the sidelines of society, written off as illegitimate, then the liberal secularists will have free reign. And these “Christian bashers” are focused on achieving this by subtly redefining Christians as ignorant, racist bigots.
This controversial book is based on the 14-episode TV special also titled “Speechless.” Don Wildmon issues a call to action through true stories and casts light on the anti-Christian movement that, unbeknownst to many Americans, is subtly overcoming our nation.
About the Author
Don Wildmon founded National Federation for Decency (NFD) in 1977. He is a leader among conservative voices calling attention to the moral decay in our culture. At the start of the organization he led a campaign against anti-family television programming—crying out against the increasing availability of pornography in the family-accessed places such as drug-stores and grocery stores.
His work quickly expanded to encompass abortion, education, marriage protection, the gay activist agenda, and encouraging citizens to take a stand on all moral issues that impact the family. Soon after, because of this broader focus, the organization changed its name to the American Family Association where Rev. Don Wildmon is president.
Today’s ‘conservatives’ and the sin problem
Posted: August 19, 2010
1:00 am Eastern
© 2010
I can’t even count how many times I’ve written in books and columns about why I am not a “conservative.”
No matter how many times I do, I am still saddled with the label by friends and adversaries alike.
It seems everyone must be a conservative or a liberal in America today.
Today I write with a new reason: “Conservatives” don’t recognize sin when they see it. Nearly the entire “conservative” establishment, such as it is, fears even mentioning this word or acknowledging its existence. And, I’m afraid, without that recognition, this is a movement that is hopelessly lost.
Let’s take the issue of homosexuality.
In the Judeo-Christian biblical worldview, there can be no doubt that homosexual behavior is a sin – even a particularly grave sin in God’s eyes, one He characterizes as “an abomination.” God’s Word is unequivocal on that point – New Testament or Old.
“Speechless: Silencing the Christians,” by Don Wildmon, lays out determined strategy of coalition of liberal secularists, homosexual activists and Fortune 500 companies
Yet, increasingly it seems, American “conservatives” are shy about calling this sin what it is. They also seem oblivious to the societal costs of affirming homosexual behavior as acceptable, normal and morally and legally equivalent to heterosexual behavior – sexually transmitted diseases, gender confusion among children, the breakdown of traditional marriage and the family unit, child molestations, military cohesiveness, the spread of moral relativism and, as history has shown, cultural decay.
When was the last time you heard a “conservative” leader with a high media profile speak out against what can only be described as the pervasive glorification of the homosexual culture in our schools, media, entertainment industry, Madison Avenue and, of course, government in all of its forms?
There are a few, to be sure – Pat Buchanan and Michael Savage come to mind. Any others?
Meanwhile, the oldest and most prestigious “conservative” weekly in the nation is owned by a corporation run by an activist homosexual.
Ann Coulter is gleeful about speaking to a group called GOProud, which bills itself as a “conservative” Republican homosexual organization that supports same-sex marriage and open homosexual service in the military.
GOProud was accepted as a sponsor of the last annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.
Maybe she was persuaded to speak to that group by “conservative” leader Grover Norquist who sits on the board of GOProud.
“Conservative” icon Glenn Beck, in a conversation with Bill O’Reilly, said basically he doesn’t care about the attack on traditional marriage. Asked if the California ruling will harm the country in any way, he responded: “No I don’t. Will the gays come and get us? I believe that Thomas Jefferson said: ‘If it neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket what difference is it to me?’”
Rush Limbaugh, the iconic leader of American conservatism, hired the noted homosexual singer Elton John to perform at his wedding. He has not aired one of his bitingly satirical “gay community updates” in years.
“Conservatives,” it seems, are on the verge of not only accepting homosexuality’s domination of the culture, but embracing it.
Not me – another reason I would prefer not to be considered or labeled as a “conservative.”
Personally, I can’t even imagine a world in which same-sex marriage becomes accepted, either by judicial force, or routine, through society’s capitulation to pressure. It simply won’t be the same world we have known throughout our lives. The natural order of things will be irrevocably altered and broken.
(Column continues below)
It’s a very big deal, and, sadly, “conservatives” are letting it happen. They aren’t fighting. They are capitulating. They are compromising. They are becoming part of the problem, not the solution. Their standards are being destroyed.
Just exactly what is it that “conservatives” are trying to “conserve”? Free enterprise? Why? Because it works? So does traditional marriage. It’s been proven for 5,000 years. It’s the building block of any self-governing society. Without it we have chaos – sexual anarchy. I like free enterprise, too. But I know it’s best because private property is affirmed by the Bible. So is marriage between one man and one woman. That’s my standard.
I feel very lonely fighting this issue today – very isolated.
But fight I will – until the last breath.
Acceptance of the government imposition of same-sex marriage will be like the proverbial crossing of the Rubicon. The foundations of our world will literally be shaken.
You don’t have to be a prophet to realize God will not be mocked in this manner. We won’t be the first civilization to collapse because of its approval of this sin. But we might be the last.
@ Anastasis
Thank your for posting these interesting texts.
But tell me this: At the end of the day, would you or would you not support short prison sentences (with an educative component), for people who repeatedly make homophobic remarks in public?
@ Anastasis,
Pray tell us the purpose of posting these long (and in my mind tedious in the extreme) texts as comments to Prof. de Vos’ blog.

Hey Ricky,
“Pray tell us the purpose of posting these long (and in my mind tedious in the extreme) texts as comments to Prof. de Vos’ blog.”
Do you want a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong answer to that or the abridged version?
Why do men involved in homosexuality and sodomy have an average life expectancy of 42 compared to 73 for other men?
Why are homosexuals 24 times more likely to commit suicide than other people?
Why are those involved in homosexuality more likely to sexually molest a child?
The Letter that Started It All
The Following is the actual letter written by Rev. Stephen Boissoin who was at the time National Chairman of the Concerned Christian Coalition (now Concerned Christians Canada Inc.) It is this letter that has the Rev. Stephen Boissoin and Concerned Christians Canada Inc., (CCC) appearing before The Alberta Human Rights Commission.
The letter is hard hitting and direct, but is written in love and needed to be said in this time of homosexual activism. What is interesting is that when this letter is read in context is not hateful or untrue like the Chief Commissioner of the Alberta Human Rights Commission says they are.
Homosexual Agenda Wicked
June 17, 2002
The following is not intended for those who are suffering from an unwanted sexual identity crisis. For you, I have understanding, care, compassion and tolerance. I sympathize with you and offer you my love and fellowship. I prayerfully beseech you to seek help, and I assure you that your present enslavement to homosexuality can be remedied. Many outspoken, former homosexuals are free today.
Instead, this is aimed precisely at every individual that in any way supports the homosexual machine that has been mercilessly gaining ground in our society since the 1960s. I cannot pity you any longer and remain inactive. You have caused far too much damage.
My banner has now been raised and war has been declared so as to defend the precious sanctity of our innocent children and youth, that you so eagerly toil, day and night, to consume. With me stand the greatest weapons that you have encountered to date – God and the “Moral Majority.” Know this, we will defeat you, then heal the damage that you have caused. Modern society has become dispassionate to the cause of righteousness. Many people are so apathetic and desensitized today that they cannot even accurately define the term “morality.”
The masses have dug in and continue to excuse their failure to stand against horrendous atrocities such as the aggressive propagation of homo- and bisexuality. Inexcusable justifications such as, “I’m just not sure where the truth lies,” or “If they don’t affect me then I don’t care what they do,” abound from the lips of the quantifiable majority.
Face the facts, it is affecting you. Like it or not, every professing heterosexual is have their future aggressively chopped at the roots.
Edmund Burke’s observation that, “All that is required for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing,” has been confirmed time and time again. From kindergarten class on, our children, your grandchildren are being strategically targeted, psychologically abused and brainwashed by homosexual and pro-homosexual educators.
Our children are being victimized by repugnant and premeditated strategies, aimed at desensitizing and eventually recruiting our young into their camps. Think about it, children as young as five and six years of age are being subjected to psychologically and physiologically damaging pro-homosexual literature and guidance in the public school system; all under the fraudulent guise of equal rights.
Your children are being warped into believing that same-sex families are acceptable; that men kissing men is appropriate.
Your teenagers are being instructed on how to perform so-called safe same gender oral and anal sex and at the same time being told that it is normal, natural and even productive. Will your child be the next victim that tests homosexuality positive?
Come on people, wake up! It’s time to stand together and take whatever steps are necessary to reverse the wickedness that our lethargy has authorized to spawn. Where homosexuality flourishes, all manner of wickedness abounds.
Regardless of what you hear, the militant homosexual agenda isn’t rooted in protecting homosexuals from “gay bashing.” The agenda is clearly about homosexual activists that include, teachers, politicians, lawyers, Supreme Court judges, and God forbid, even so-called ministers, who are all determined to gain complete equality in our nation and even worse, our world.
Don’t allow yourself to be deceived any longer. These activists are not morally upright citizens, concerned about the best interests of our society. They are perverse, self-centered and morally deprived individuals who are spreading their psychological disease into every area of our lives. Homosexual rights activists and those that defend them, are just as immoral as the pedophiles, drug dealers and pimps that plague our communities.
The homosexual agenda is not gaining ground because it is morally backed. It is gaining ground simply because you, Mr. and Mrs. Heterosexual, do nothing to stop it. It is only a matter of time before some of these morally bankrupt individuals such as those involved with NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Lovers Association, will achieve their goal to have sexual relations with children and assert that it is a matter of free choice and claim that we are intolerant bigots not to accept it.
If you are reading this and think that this is alarmist, then I simply ask you this: how bad do things have to become before you will get involved? It’s time to start taking back what the enemy has taken from you. The safety and future of our children is at stake.

(c/o Bob Dylan, not Pierre).
“Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Gal. 4:16
“We see every day that our imaginations are so strong and our reason so weak … the belief of future punishments so faint that men find ways to believe any absurdity … their reason becomes at last an eloquent advocate on the side of their passions, and they bring themselves to believe that black is white, that vice is virtue, that folly is wisdom, and eternity a moment. … I dread the consequences.” John Adams (1735-1826) 2nd President of the United States, Diary entry for Sunday February 9 1772
The Homosexual Lobby has become a powerful force in Western World. However, ultimately, this power is not theirs, for , the people with the real power in the world, the Power Elite, have allowed the homosexual activists to garner for themselves what power they have vicariously. If the evil men who control society, the Power Elite, the Global Elite, did not want homosexuals to have this political power they would not have it. Therefore, there is a reason for the sudden rise in the power and expectations of the sodomite.
The reason why the Homosexual Lobby has been gifted such power is this. The Global Elite that control much of the temporal affairs of the world and especially the political process, media and academia of the Corrupt Liberal Democracies that now make up Western Civilisation are the front group for a much darker, concentrated power. Behind this coterie of wealthy and powerful people –the likes of the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds- are a few men who truly control much of the temporal affairs of this world. These very few men are the true Lords of Power on Earth.. Gentle reader, the true temporal power on Earth is not found and exercised in parliaments, senates, and congresses, but in the Dark Empire of the Secret Societies. Moreover, true world power is held by very few men; by a Secret Cabal of Power.
These are the Secret Masters of the Dark Empire of Secret Societies. The Occult Hierarchy, the Black Adepts of the Cult of Evil, which is the ancient Luciferian Priesthood who can claim an ancient lineage of service to Evil going far back in history, back before recorded history began. They are the custodians and guardians of Ancient Plan to Transform Society, which is the five thousand year old Luciferian Conspiracy for World Government that intends to set up World Empire and eradicate all human liberty and freedom from the face of the Earth. To do this, they must destroy Natural Moral Order on Earth set in place by the supreme Will of God.
Organised Evil sits at the heart of the dark Empire of Secret Societies and the Occult Hierarchy is at its head. They are main human agents of Evil on Earth and the orchestrators of the Evil Agenda for the establishment of World Government. They are the arbiters of the Ancient, Sinister Plot to Change the World. That is, they orchestrate the five thousand year old Luciferian Conspiracy for World Government that is often called the New World Order. In other words, they seek to establish conditions on Earth that will be propitious for the establishment of a World Empire under their direct control, that is, the Last Secular Global Kingdom on Earth, which is the Kingdom of Antichrist on Earth.
The New Age One World Conspirators seek the destruction of what they call the “Old World Order,” which is Natural Moral Order on Earth set in place by the supreme Will of God. Hence, for centuries, the Confederacy of Evil has marshalled its hosts, and organised itself for its calculated assault on Natural Moral Order, its assault on the Church of Christ and its assault on Western Civilisation. This ancient assault on Moral Order is multifaceted. It is the five thousand year old Luciferian Conspiracy, the Evil Agenda for the establishment of World Government, called by insiders the “Great Plan.”
A major target of Organised Evil is Natural Moral Order. It has to destroy this before they can claim victory on Earth over God. Thus, the Confederacy of Evil marshalled by the Occult Hierarchy, the Black Adepts of the Cult of Evil, the ancient Luciferian Priesthood who are the main human agents of Evil on Earth, has worked ceaselessly to bring moral decay to the world, but especial to the Western World. Chief amongst these strategies to destroy Natural Moral Order and so destroy Western Civilisation is homosexuality.
The Lords of Power on Earth have chosen Homosexuality to be the ”inner foe” of moral, ordered society. Moreover, they have foisted it upon modern society by a carefully orchestrated strategy. They have empowered, financed and heavily promoted the Homosexual Lobby, the shocktroops of this unholy and immoral assault on Natural Moral Order on Earth.
The ancient interdiction of homosexuality was predicated on Scripture: and especially the condemnation by God that it is as one of the most loathsome sins. The term Sodomite was not only censorious but also damning when used. The grave connotations attached to this term are the main reason why the Homosexual Lobby has vigorously attempted to render its use Politically Incorrect.
The practice of homosexuality is not merely a political concern but a profoundly spiritual concern. Homosexuality is a spiritually deadly condition that threatens, for different reasons, both its zealots and its enemies. It is this capacity to do great evil to a morally ordered society that homosexuality has been used as an instrument of destruction by the dark spiritual forces plotting to destroy Natural Moral Order on Earth. Very wicked men who are the human agents of Evil have actively supported the rise of the Homosexual Lobby by channelling funding from the great “tax exempt foundations” to support the political and ideological assault on Natural Moral Order on Earth. The Homosexual Lobby has been cultivated and empowered by powerful forces that want to use it as an agent of change and the prominent activists as “change agents.” This is the function of another great lie called Humanism, which is the Rationalist attack on the faith of religion and of the concept of God and the Incarnation of Christ.
Homosexuality is one of many weapons in the armoury of Evil in its assault on Ordered Creation on Earth. Moreover, it is also fundamental to the wicked and evil strategy of the Confederacy of Evil to collapse Western Civilisation. Hence, their lackeys and Useful Idiots posing as Humanists and Professional Liberals use it to attack Natural Moral Order on Earth. The Humanist and the Professional Liberal in the guise of “social libertarians” have sought to move the argument over the morality of Sodomy out of the philosophical and religious arenas and into the political arena.
The rationalist attacks upon organised religion and the successes of science have left the Churches exhausted and secretly shamed. They have all but given up the fight to stop the Homosexual Agenda from succeeding. The Anglican Church is almost destroyed by the twin threats to moral, ordered society: Feminism and Homosexuality. It is a grave situation indeed.

The Homosexual Agenda, or homosexual ideology, consists of a set of beliefs and objectives designed to promote and even mandate acceptance and approval of homosexuality, and the strategies used to implement such. This article notes that the goals and means of this movement include indoctrinating students in public school, restricting the free speech of opposition, obtaining special treatment for homosexuals, distorting Biblical teaching and science, and interfering with freedom of association.
Among all the liberal belief systems, the homosexual ideology is the most self-centered or selfish. Liberals generally give much less than conservatives to charity, but gay charity work in particular is virtually non-existent.
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia referred to the “so-called homosexual agenda” in Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003) (dissenting opinion).

The Homosexual Agenda
Joseph P. Gudel, in That Which is Unnatural[1] contended that the homosexual movement,
has been militantly demanding not just the homosexuals’ right to do whatever they wish to do behind closed doors, but, more importantly, that society fully accept their lifestyle as both healthy and normal, even demanding special rights and legislation as an “oppressed minority.” Gudel quotes various sources evidencing this.
In a 1987 speech to the National Press Club in Washington, homosexual spokesperson Jeff Levi proclaimed,
We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right — as heterosexual Americans already have — to see government and society affirm our lives. [2]
In an article entitled “Gays on the March” in 1975, Time magazine quoted gay activist Barbara Gittings who stated:
What the homosexual wants, and here he is neither willing to compromise nor morally required to compromise — is acceptance of homosexuality as a way of life fully on a par with heterosexuality.” In response, Time opined, “It is one thing to remove legal discrimination against homosexuals. It is another to mandate approval….It is this goal of full acceptance, which no known society past or present has granted to homosexuals, that makes many Americans apprehensive.[3]
A primary goal of the homosexual agenda is to promote the lifestyle in public schools. This occurred quickly and intensely after gay marriage was imposed in Massachusetts, where homosexual relationships are taught to children as young as kindergartners, as recounted by the decision of Parker v. Hurley.[4]
In a 1992 report by John Leo in U.S. News and World Report, he notes some books which were part of New York City’s public school curriculum.
The first-grade book, “Children of the Rainbow”, stated on page 145, which states that teachers must “be aware of varied family structures, including…gay or lesbian parents,” and “children must be taught to acknowledge the positive aspects of each type of household.” Another children book is Heather Has Two Mommies, which is about a lesbian couple having a child through artificial insemination. Another book, Gloria Goes to Gay Pride, states, “Some women love women, some men love men, some women and men love each other. That’s why we march in the parade, so everyone can have a choice.”
Leo commented,
A line is being crossed here; in fact, a brand new ethic is descending upon the city’s public school system. The traditional civic virtue of tolerance (if gays want to live together, it’s their own business) has been replaced with a new ethic requiring approval and endorsement (if gays want to live together, we must ‘acknowledge the positive aspects’ of their way of life).[5]
Dr. Judith A. Reisman in her extensive Crafting “Gay” Children,[6] reports that Harvard homosexual Toby Morotta, PhD, stated that in the 1970s, members of the Gay Activists Alliance – who were trained in the “zapping” of any who rebuffed homosexuality.[7] And that these formed the “Gay Academic Union,” (GAU) which was made up of faculty and students in major universities. She states that the GAU has long fought for domination of its worldview within the academic community, and professional journals commonly assigned GAU and other homosexual peer reviewers to research touching on homosexuality, generally resulting in a quick death to possible unfavorable findings. [8]
This and the general agenda is seen to be overall implementing a marketing strategy explained in a book called After the Ball, by gay rights activists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen in the late 1980s, in which a six-point plan was set forth as to how they could transform the beliefs of ordinary Americans with regard to homosexual behavior in a decade-long time frame:
“The agenda of homosexual activists is basically to change America from what they perceive as looking down on homosexual behavior, to the affirmation of and societal acceptance of homosexual behavior.” [9] “Thus propagandistic advertising can depict all opponents of the gay movement as homophobic bigots who are ‘not Christian’ and the propaganda can further show them [homosexuals]] as being criticized, hated and shunned…”[10]
Focus on the Family provides additional quotes from After the Ball, outlining key points of the homosexual agenda:[9][11]
“Talk about gays and gayness as loudly and as often as possible.”
“Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers.”
“Give homosexual protectors a just cause.”
“Make gays look good.”
“Make the victimizers look bad.”
“Get funds from corporate America.”
United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia wrote:
“ Today’s opinion is the product of a Court, which is the product of a law-profession culture, that has largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda, by which I mean the agenda promoted by some homosexual activists directed at eliminating the moral opprobrium that has traditionally attached to homosexual conduct.[12] ”
Vic Eliason of Crosstalk America rightly points out that if all Americans turned homosexual it would only take a few generations for the United States to lose most of the population of the country through lack of procreation. This would make the US more vulnerable to attack by our enemies.
Specific goals
The goals of the homosexual movement include:
Destroying Christian morals
Changing the definition of marriage, even if doing so infringes on the religious rights of Christians not to recognize it as anything other than sin [13]
Promote pseudoscience that legitimizes homosexuality, such as claims of a never-identified gay gene[14]
Censoring evidence that the “gay gene” is a hoax[15]
Censoring speech against homosexuality by branding it to possibly be “hate-speech”[16][17][18]
Censoring biblical statements condemning homosexuality[19]
Establishing affirmative action for homosexuals[20][21]
Expand hate crimes legislation to include sexual orientation[22]
Ending the military’s and Boy Scout’s restrictions on homosexuality[23]
Stopping children as young as 5 years old from attending therapy to repair their sexual preference[24]
Promote homosexuality in schools[25]
In places like Massachusetts and California, where the gay lobby is the strongest, it starts as early as pre-school. They tell seven- or eight-year-old boys, “If you only like boys, there’s a chance you may be homosexual,” or “If you only like girls, maybe you are lesbian.” Well, at that age, all members of the opposite sex “have cooties.”
You’re planting a seed that can totally mess up the normal development process later, when at 12 or 14, kids enter the age of sexual confusion and discovering the opposite sex. [26]
Force businesses to accommodate their lifestyle[27]
Suing an online dating website for discrimination[28]
Undermining the resolve of latent homosexuals so that their will becomes too weak to resist the temptations of homosexuality[29]
Pushing for legalized adoption by gay individuals and couples[30]
The state-by-state push for same-sex marriage can be viewed as a means to the above goals, or a goal in itself.[31] An example of this would be the recent New Hampshire law that makes same-sex civil unions legal[32]
Although notable gains toward achieving its goals continue to be manifest, homosexual activists have recent been expressing a high level of and dissatisfaction against the Obama administration. Commenting on such, Massresistance.org, an organization which opposes the homosexual agenda in Massachusetts, noted that the President has,
signed an order extending federal benefits to same-sex partners;
pushed an extreme hate crimes bill in Congress;
declared his intention to repeal the Defense of Marriage,
pushed a pro-homosexual and transgender version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
appointed radical homosexual activists to high level positions, including Harry Knox, of the homosexual lobby group Human Rights Campaign, and Kevin Jennings, founder of the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which targets kids in the public schools.
declared February to be “Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.”
ordered the State Department to allow gay couples to use their married names (from marriages or civil unions) on US passports.[33]
Strategies and psychological tactics
Homosexual activists are often seen as engaging in specious argumentation, such as attempts to controvert the consistent teaching of the Bible on homosexual relations, (see homosexuality and biblical interpretation) and using false analogies, in order to gain acceptance of homosexuality. One common argument used by homosexual activists seeks to compare their quest for equal rights to that of others.[34] This argument is countered by the observation that blacks were able to peacefully argue that mankind should not be “judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”[35], as the former yields no certain moral distinction. In contrast, homosexual activists are seen to seek acceptance of an immoral practice(s), and in addition, to overall engage in certain coercive and manipulative means to do so. This is evidenced to include the use of a demonstrative manner of protests, which appear to be designed to censure and intimidate those who oppose them in any way.[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] In addition, one pro-homosexual commentator recently took the homosexual community to task for being racist in their practice of homosexuality.[47]
While not all homosexuals agree the use of deceptive psychological tactics in order to gain or coerce acceptance of homosexuality, these has been promoted by leading homosexual activists. The aforementioned book, After the Ball, is widely regarded as the handbook for the gay agenda, in which Harvard trained marketing experts and social scientists Marshall Kirk (1957 – 2005) and Hunter Madsen advocated avoiding portraying gays as aggressive challengers, but as victims, while making those who opposed them as evil persecutors. As a means of the latter, they promoted jamming, in which Christians, traditionalists, or anyone else who opposes the gay agenda are publicly smeared. In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to adopt the role of protector … The purpose of victim imagery is to make straights feel very uncomfortable, they suggested.
Jam homophobia (i.e., disagreement with homosexual behaviors) by linking it to Nazi horror, was the strategy of Kirk and Madsen. Associate all who oppose homosexuality with images of Klansmen demanding that gays be slaughtered, hysterical backwoods preachers, menacing punks, and a tour of Nazi concentration camps where homosexuals were tortured and gassed. Thus, “propagandistic advertisement can depict homophobic and homohating bigots as crude loudmouths…”[48]
Kirk and Madsen’s open admission of their deceptive tactics is noted as most revealing: [O]ur effect is achieved without reference to facts, logic, or proof. “…the person’s beliefs can be altered whether he is conscious of the attack or not”[49] “The campaign we outline in this book, though complex, depends centrally upon a program of unabashed propaganda, firmly grounded in long-established principles of psychology and advertising.”[50][51]
Similarly, author Robert Bauman additionally records, It makes no difference that the ads are lies . . . because were using them to ethically good effect, to counter negative stereotypes that are every bit as much lies, and far more wicked ones. [52]
The need for Kirk and Madsen to engage in such manipulation may be seen as being due to their sober realization of the nature of the homosexual lifestyle.
“In short, the gay lifestyle – if such a chaos can, after all, legitimately be called a lifestyle – it just doesn’t work: it doesn’t serve the two functions for which all social framework evolve: to constrain people’s natural impulses to behave badly and to meet their natural needs. While it’s impossible to provide an exhaustive analytic list of all the root causes and aggravants of this failure, we can asseverate at least some of the major causes. Many have been dissected, above, as elements of the Ten Misbehaviors; it only remains to discuss the failure of the gay community to provide a viable alternative to the heterosexual family.”[53]
Marshall Kirk died in 2005 at the age of 48. The cause of death has not been publicly revealed.
Often cited as an early example form of such tactics was the role of homosexual activists in persuading the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders (DSM-II). Dr. Ronald Bayer, though being himself a pro-homosexual psychiatrist, described this removal as being the result of power politics, threats, and intimidation, rather than any new scientific discoveries.[54] In so doing, like slavery before it, the homosexual agenda is seen to threaten basic freedoms, principally the First Amendment.[55]
The charge of “homophobia” has also been increasingly evidenced as being part of a means of intimidation used in promoting the homosexual agenda. Due to what homophobia has been made to denote, that of being a repressed homosexual, or possessing an irrational fear of being approached by homosexuals, or of being a bigot persecuting victims, the widespread use of the term “homophobic” attaches a powerful stigma to anyone who may even conscientiously oppose the practice of homosexuality, thus silencing many who might otherwise object to it.[56]
In relation to such oppression, psychologist Nicholas Cummings, former president of the American Psychological Association (APA), observed, “Homophobia as intimidation is one of the most pervasive techniques used to silence anyone who would disagree with the gay activist agenda.” As an example of such fear within the APA, in addressing 100 fellow professionals Cummings related that while writing “Destructive Trends in Mental Health,” with psychologist Rogers Wright, a number of fellow psychologists were invited to participate. However, these flatly turned them down, as they feared loss of tenure, loss of promotion, and other forms of professional retaliation. “We were bombarded by horror stories,” Dr. Cummings said. “Their greatest fear was of the gay lobby, which is very strong in the APA.[57]
Noted homosexual activist and pornographer Clinton Fein, in his article, The Gay Agenda stated, Homophobic inclinations alone, even without any actions, should be criminal and punishable to the full extent of the law.
Erik Holland, author of “The Nature of Homosexuality,” perceives that homosexuals have become so reckless in labeling others homophobic that “anyone who questions their labeling someone a homophobe himself. Even quoting factual statistics about the connection between homosexuality and AIDS is allegedly homophobic.” In addition, according to pro homosexual author Vernon A Wall, “even acceptance of homosexuality can be seen as a form of homophobia, because to talk about the acceptance of homosexuality is to imply that there is something about homosexuality that needs acceptance.”[58]
It may be speculated that if the liberal use of the term homophobia is not primarily a psychological tactic, then it indicates a psychological condition on the part of those who use it, in which they imagine that those who oppose them are fearful of them, or of being one.
Influence in the Academic World
Professor Jerry Z. Muller described in an article titled, “First Things” (Aug/Sept. 1993), how the homosexual lobby has gained widespread acceptance in the educational realm.
[Their] strategy has been remarkably successful. With a rapidity largely attributable in large part to a total lack of articulate resistance, homosexual ideology has gained an unquestioned and uncontested legitimacy in American academic life. Within the academy, as within nonacademic elite culture, the definition of opposite to homosexuality as “homophobia – a definition which implies that it is impossible to give good reasons for the cultural disapproval of homosexuality – is the best evidence of the success of this strategy.[59]
Opposing Christian Agenda
Liberals are critical of Christian groups that oppose homosexuality. These criticisms include Christian activities of:
Soliciting donations
Encouraging email activism
Producing and disseminating gay reform information
Influencing local media in what stories they produce
Lobbying local, state and federal government officials to vote in the desired way on pending legislation[60]
Homosexual belief system
These are characteristics indicative of the homosexual belief system:
censorship of any and all criticism of homosexuality as “hate speech”
intense affirmative action in the form of preferential hiring and networking
short-term outlook at the expense of the long-term future
narcissistic in personality and relatively self-absorbed in outlook
relatively prone to depression, and even suicide.
Hey Pierre,
How about posting all Anastasia’s wise words in the seminar room, under nutcase!
Hey, Maggs,
Why did I even ask… apparently I got the long and extremely tedious reply – or rather not a tirade but homophobic propagand and faux-science of the most nauseating kind. I will not ask – but I wonder what is the reason for Anastasis’ sick obsession with all things homosexual…

Hey Rick,
“homophobic propagand and faux-science of the most nauseating kind”
Only if the looney tuney is to be believed.
Dear ‘Anastasis’
I wish you would change your name because you are actually proving Pierre’s point! In your rabid deluge you have taken upon yourself to be the spokesperson of the ‘Church’. You are fortunately not! But sadly you demonstrate the very criticism that he is making, the inability to reason and show any grace whatsoever by the rightwing fanatics who actually have not understood our Lord’s incarnational message.
My only hope is that those who have seen your obvious pharisaical diatribe would note that this is a far cry from genuine Christian faith.
Pierre, you have my understanding in this!
Perhaps Mr Naidoo enjoys the Kruger Park because in that eden God’s creatures, from antelope to monkey, warthog to buffalo, can happily cavort and consort, sans critical censorship, with their gender of choice?
If I met any man called ‘Errol’ my instinct would be to introduce him to my brother.
Haiybo.
Is this Anastasis?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjl54v1irbs
Anastasis, thank you for the reading, from which I am learning a great deal.
But I have a question. A few years ago, I saw a film, “Passion of the Christ,” which showed that Jesus and his disciples had an active interest in homo-erotic sado-masochism. Is this not sheer hypocricy? And where would I find these events in the Gospel?
Many thanks.
Brilliant Pierre!
Oh – and nasty Anastis. Very clever list. Your “logic”
Now make us a list of those responsible for all the child rapes and dumping children on rubbish heaps?
Heterosexuals- 100 Homos – nil

Doubt it…..far too normal
Mikhail Dworkin Fassbinder says:
August 27, 2010 at 13:53 pm
Eish!
“And where would I find these events in the Gospel?”
Now you’ve gone and done it Dworky.
We’re gonna get the whole of the Old Testament and the whole of the New testament and some more.
You know I don’t see myself going to church any time soon. And I’ve only read through passages in the Bible a few times and in the main, it’s never really ranked among my priorities to do so. But that being said, I think – as I’m pretty sure I’ve said elsewhere – that Christianity could have much of value to teach (to Christians and non-Christians alike).
So I’m going to agree broadly with the other Leigh – whose thoughtful posts are, in my view, eminently welcome here. (Alhough I should say that by agreement, I mean I’ll make my own point which strikes me as being consistent with what she with the fabulous name said a few posts ago.)
If people want to follow Christian teaching – by which I mean living the life your saviour actually taught and not merely a life of self-glorification – then as far as I’m concerned, they could do far worse because Christianity, I think, suggests real wisdom.
But this isn’t about Christianity. Rather, it’s about Christians. And not all Christians mind you. Just the one’s who only want to talk but don’t know how to listen. And that’s how Anastasis appears to me: heavy on self-righteousness but light on wisdom. I mean why else would he/she spend so much effort essentially preaching to those who don’t think especially highly of either the messenger or the message?
If Anastasis truly thinks that he/she is an approptriate person to spread God’s word, then perhaps it would be better for him/her to advise people who think he/she is worth entertaining.
my God, the homosexual agenda!!! how did that leak out?! we tried so hard to protect our evil secret plan….
now our movement is doomed…
Mikhail, sorry to bother you – I mean I’m sure you’re bussy what with the struggle and all. But I might need your help. You see, you and I both know of my propensity for displaying my liberal bona fides no matter who gets in the way. So guide me brother: did I just over-shoot the mark?
Do you lot even obey Roberts’ Rules when composing your agendas? Probably not. Evil, evil.
Anastasis – the living, breathing epitome of Christian love, charity, compassion and kindness.
I do so love the zealots who smite others in the name of religion and who hide their hatred and intolerance behind the so-called “Word of God”.
I’m sure you have all seen this at some time, but I think it a perfect rebuttal to Anastasis:
God’s Law – a logical rebuttal (Sent in by Vesanto)
On her radio show, Dr. Laura Schlesinger (a popular conservative radio
talk show host in the USA) said that homosexuality is an abomination
according to the Bible Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under
any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr.
Laura, penned by James M. Kauffman, Ed. D. It’s funny, as well as
informative. _______________________
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I
have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that
knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend
the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that
Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination… end of
debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements
of God’s Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and
female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A
friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not
Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in
her period of menstrual unseemliness – Lev. 15: 19-24. The problem is
how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord – Lev. 1:9. The problem is my neighbours.
They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath.
Exodus35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally
obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination – Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than
homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’
of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I\
have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading
glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room
here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.
19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes
me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two
different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing
garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester
blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really
necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town
together to stone them? Lev. 24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to
death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep
with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy
considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can
help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.
Your adoring fan,
James M. Kauffman, Ed. D.

Education University of Virginia
@ Leigh,
I agree that much wisdom comes from Christianity, but I also think this can be said of most religions. If one compares the major religions, it is apparent that they basically share the same principles ie. those espoused in the Ten Commandments.
Anybody who follows their religion with integrity and tries to live by the values espoused therein is worth engaging. It is the zealots who must be avoided.
Samantha says:
August 27, 2010 at 14:22 pm
LOL!
Anastasis is catching.
Hey Sam – it seems like our very own Mossad Guy is a student of Prof James M. Kauffman.
Samantha, that’s pretty much my view as well. The language used in great teachings might be different. But it seems that the principles are often similar.
Professor, it’s clear that you are unimpressed by this Naidoo character – and it’s only right that you should be uninspired.
But rather than give way to the understandable irritation you feel towards the holier-than-everyone-else-because-that’s-the-way-my-mama-raised-me Naidoo, may I respectfully suggest another approach: another approach is to feel sorry for people like Naidoo. And why? Because it seems he doesn’t see the difference between pursuing God’s mission on the one hand, and pursuing his own on the other.
If there is a God, I don’t know how he’d feel about that. But Mr Naidoo might want to keep it in mind.
@ Maggs,
Well, part of my motivation for my post was to hopefully enlighten the Mossad Guy. The smiting, enslaving and sacrificing should keep him busy for the weekend!!
Maggs, do you consider it fair that religion has given Dworky a head start of 6 IQ points over you?
Dear Readers
For only the second time in the history of the Blog I decided to block as spam the postings of a contributor because it started feeling as if he/she was harassing me. Entertaining as her posts were, I feared a continuos flood of posts so I marked her as a spammer. So if you are wondering why Anastasis is quiet (and mis her rantings), it is because my site now believes she is a spammer. In the interest of transparency I thought I needed to share this with you.
Leigh, I hear what you say and am tempted, but I do not want to be hypocritical and profess sadness and compassion for someone who do not pity much (if he was a persecuted and poor person and not someone who benefited from the donations of believers who honestly and sincerely hold their beliefs, my views might have been different). In any case, I am not really irritated by Mr Naidoo. Amused perhaps. Not very respectful, perhaps. But not irritated. The reason is that I know that his views – on their own – will discredit him with those human beings whose opinion I value. (That is why I posted a large chunk of his email.) That is also why my post was tagged, amongst other things, as “Humour”. If we all laughed more at and with ourselves and at and with others, I think the world would be a better place. In my world, even though I can get rather exited about evidence of hypocrisy and abuses of power, I try to remember than one should never take oneself too seriously.
@ Pierre……well done on the blocking
How disappointing. Anastasis demonstrated the same sort of zealotry and lack of logical thought as our old friend, Lindelani.
Nonetheless, I was developing a cramp in my finger from scrolling through the mindless rants, so my middle finger thanks you.

A fair point Professor. And for what it’s worth, I agree with Anton: blocking Anastasis was probably the right call. You created this blog with a view to providing a forum for debate. You certainly didn’t do so to give egocentric religious fire-breathers an audience.
Leigh??? What???
Censorship! Censorship! LOL!
What does the Bible say?
The Bible, as God’s word, reveals God’s moral character and it shapes the morality of the Christian. The Bible has much to say about homosexuality:
Lev. 18:22 , “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”
Lev. 20:13, “If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them.”
1 Cor. 6:9-10, “Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,1 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
Rom. 1:26-28, “For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.”
With such clear statements against homosexuality, it is difficult to see how different groups can say the Bible supports homosexuality. But they try by redefining love, marriage, sex, homosexuality, etc. in order to accomplish their goal. But the truth is that God created man and woman, not man and man, or woman and woman. Nevertheless, the Bible is a powerful book, and because it is the homosexuals often try and make the Bible agree with its agenda. But it doesn’t work. The Bible does not support homosexuality, as we have seen from the scriptures above.
Unlike other sins, this sexual sin has a judgment administered by God Himself: He gives them over to their passions (Rom. 1:26-28). This means that their hearts are allowed to be hardened by their sins. As a result, they can no longer see the error of what they are doing. Without an awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance. Without repentance, there will be no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation.
Homosexual behavior is aberrant sexual behavior. It is clearly contrary to “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” to which Thomas Jefferson so eloquently referred in the Declaration of Independence.
Biblical passages such as Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, and 1 Timothy 1:8-11 make it abundantly clear what “Nature’s God” thinks of homosexual behavior.
It is fundamentally immoral and pernicious, and puts homosexuals in the same category (according to 1 Timothy) as those who assault their parents, commit murder, are sexually promiscuous, engage in the slave trade, and lie under oath. 1 Corinthians adds adulterers, substance abusers, thieves and swindlers to the list to which homosexuals belong.
The “Laws of Nature” tell us the same thing. Homosexual sex is, as Paul puts it in Romans 1:26, “contrary to nature.” It is clear that Nature did not intend for the human body to be used for gay sex. Simply and plainly put, the bodily orifice designed to eliminate waste was not designed for sexual use.
Because the wall lining the alimentary canal is just one cell thick, it is easily torn, thus giving bodily fluids and the infectious diseases they carry instant access to the blood stream. This is why there is such a prevalence of HIV/AIDs and all sorts of STDs in the homosexual population.
And of course it cannot lead to procreation. It is a tragedy when a married heterosexual couple cannot conceive; it is, on the other hand, biologically impossible for a homosexual couple to conceive a child.
This means that committed Darwinists should be even more ardently opposed to the normalization of homosexual behavior than people of faith, for the simple reason that evolution is all about the propagation of the species, which can’t possibly happen when two gays have sex.
So both the laws of nature and the laws of God teach us that homosexual behavior never should be normalized, under any circumstances.
Homosexuality came easy to me, because I was already weak.
My mom died when I was 19. My father had died when I was 13. At an early age, I was already confused about who I was and how I felt about others.
My confusion about “desire” and the fact that I noticed I was “attracted” to guys made me put myself into the “gay” category at age 14. At age 20, I came out as gay to everybody else around me.
At age 22, I became an editor of the first magazine aimed at a young, gay male audience. It bordered on pornography in its photographic content, but I figured I could use it as a platform to bigger and better things.
Sure enough, Young Gay America came around. It was meant to fill the void that the other magazine I’d worked for had created – namely, anything not-so-pornographic, aimed at the population of young, gay Americans. Young Gay America took off.
(Column continues below)
Gay people responded happily to Young Gay America. It received awards, recognition, respectability and great honors, including the National Role Model Award from major gay organization Equality Forum – which was given to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chr?tien a year later – and a whole host of appearances in the media, from PBS to the Seattle Times, from MSNBC to the cover story in Time magazine.
I produced, with the help of PBS-affiliates and Equality Forum, the first major documentary film to tackle gay teen suicide, “Jim In Bold,” which toured the world and received numerous “best in festival” awards.
Young Gay America created a photo exhibit, full of photographs and stories of gay youth all across the North American continent, which toured Europe, Canada and parts of the United States.
Young Gay America launched YGA Magazine in 2004, to pretend to provide a “virtuous counterpart” to the other newsstand media aimed at gay youth. I say “pretend” because the truth was, YGA was as damaging as anything else out there, just not overtly pornographic, so it was more “respected.”
It took me almost 16 years to discover that homosexuality itself is not exactly “virtuous.” It was difficult for me to clarify my feelings on the issue, given that my life was so caught up in it.
Homosexuality, delivered to young minds, is by its very nature pornographic. It destroys impressionable minds and confuses their developing sexuality; I did not realize this, however, until I was 30 years old.
YGA Magazine sold out of its first issue in several North American cities. There was extreme support, by all sides, for YGA Magazine; schools, parent groups, libraries, governmental associations, everyone seemed to want it. It tapped right into the zeitgeist of “accepting and promoting” homosexuality, and I was considered a leader. I was asked to speak on the prestigious JFK Jr. Forum at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in 2005.
It was, after viewing my words on a videotape of that “performance,” that I began to seriously doubt what I was doing with my life and influence.
Knowing no one who I could approach with my questions and my doubts, I turned to God; I’d developed a growing relationship with God, thanks to a debilitating bout with intestinal cramps caused by the upset stomach-inducing behaviors I’d been engaged in.
Soon, I began to understand things I’d never known could possibly be real, such as the fact that I was leading a movement of sin and corruption – which is not to sound as though my discovery was based on dogma, because decidedly it was not.
I came to the conclusions on my own.
It became clear to me, as I really thought about it – and really prayed about it – that homosexuality prevents us from finding our true self within. We cannot see the truth when we’re blinded by homosexuality.
We believe, under the influence of homosexuality, that lust is not just acceptable, but a virtue. But there is no homosexual “desire” that is apart from lust.
In denial of this fact, I’d fought to erase such truth at all costs, and participated in the various popular ways of taking responsibility out of human hands for challenging the temptations of lust and other behaviors. I was sure – thanks to culture and world leaders – that I was doing the right thing.
Driven to look for truth, because nothing felt right, I looked within. Jesus Christ repeatedly advises us not to trust anybody other than Him. I did what He said, knowing that the Kingdom of God does reside in the heart and mind of every man.
What I discovered – what I learned – about homosexuality was amazing. How I’d first “discovered” homosexual desires back in high school was by noticing that I looked at other guys. How I healed, when it became decidedly clear that I should – or risk hurting more people – is that I paid attention to myself.
Every time I was tempted to lust, I noticed it, caught it, dealt with it. I called it what it was, and then just let it disappear on its own. A huge and vital difference exists between superficial admiration – of yourself, or others – and integral admiration. In loving ourselves fully, we no longer need anything from the “outside” world of lustful desire, recognition from others, or physical satisfaction. Our drives become intrinsic to our very essence, unbridled by neurotic distractions.
Homosexuality allows us to avoid digging deeper, through superficiality and lust-inspired attractions – at least, as long as it remains “accepted” by law. As a result, countless miss out on their truest self, their God-given Christ-self.
Homosexuality, for me, began at age 13 and ended – once I “cut myself off” from outside influences and intensely focused on inner truth – when I discovered the depths of my God-given self at age 30.
God is regarded as an enemy by many in the grip of homosexuality or other lustful behavior, because He reminds them of who and what they truly are meant to be. People caught in the act would rather stay “blissfully ignorant” by silencing truth and those who speak it, through antagonism, condemnation and calling them words like “racist,” “insensitive,” “evil” and “discriminatory.”
Healing from the wounds caused by homosexuality is not easy – there’s little obvious support. What support remains is shamed, ridiculed, silenced by rhetoric or made illegal by twisting of laws. I had to sift through my own embarrassment and the disapproving “voices” of all I’d ever known to find it. Part of the homosexual agenda is getting people to stop considering that conversion is even a viable question to be asked, let alone whether or not it works.
In my experience, “coming out” from under the influence of the homosexual mindset was the most liberating, beautiful and astonishing thing I’ve ever experienced in my entire life.
Lust takes us out of our bodies, “attaching” our psyche onto someone else’s physical form. That’s why homosexual sex – and all other lust-based sex – is never satisfactory: It’s a neurotic process rather than a natural, normal one. Normal is normal – and has been called normal for a reason.
Abnormal means “that which hurts us, hurts normal.” Homosexuality takes us out of our normal state, of being perfectly united in all things, and divides us, causing us to forever pine for an outside physical object that we can never possess. Homosexual people – like all people – yearn for the mythical true love, which does actually exist. The problem with homosexuality is that true love only comes when we have nothing preventing us from letting it shine forth from within. We cannot fully be ourselves when our minds are trapped in a cycle and group-mentality of sanctioned, protected and celebrated lust.
God came to me when I was confused and lost, alone, afraid and upset. He told me – through prayer – that I had nothing at all to be afraid of, and that I was home; I just needed to do a little house cleaning in my mind.
I believe that all people, intrinsically, know the truth. I believe that is why Christianity scares people so much. It reminds them of their conscience, which we all possess.
Conscience tells us right from wrong and is a guide by which we can grow and become stronger and freer human beings. Healing from sin and ignorance is always possible, but the first thing anyone must do is get out of the mentalities that divide and conquer humanity.
Sexual truth can be found, provided we’re all willing and driven to accept that our culture sanctions behaviors that harm life. Guilt should be no reason to avoid the difficult questions.
Homosexuality took almost 16 years of my life and compromised them with one lie or another, perpetuated through national media targeted at children. In European countries, homosexuality is considered so normal that grade-school children are being provided “gay” children’s books as required reading in public schools.
Poland, a country all-too familiar with the destruction of its people by outside influences, is bravely attempting to stop the European Union from indoctrinating its children with homosexual propaganda. In response, the European Union has called the prime minister of Poland “repulsive.”
I was repulsive for quite some time; I am still dealing with all of my guilt.
As a leader in the “gay rights” movement, I was given the opportunity to address the public many times. If I could take back some of the things I said, I would. Now I know that homosexuality is lust and pornography wrapped into one. I’ll never let anybody try to convince me otherwise, no matter how slick their tongues or how sad their story. I have seen it. I know the truth.
God gave us truth for a reason. It exists so we could be ourselves. It exists so we could share that perfect self with the world, to make the perfect world. These are not fanciful schemes or strange ideals – these are the Truth.
Healing from the sins of the world will not happen in an instant; but, it will happen – if we don’t pridefully block it. God wins in the end, in case you didn’t know.
Homosexual adoption report
written by ‘pro-gay advocate’
Associated Press doesn’t disclose
bias of controversial policy’s author

© 2010 WorldNetDaily.com
“Adoption Institute Supports Gay Parents,” trumpets the headline of the Associated Press report – followed by “Major Adoption Institute Issues Report That Says Blocking Gay Adoption Keeps Kids in Foster Care.”
Quoting the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute as advising adoption agencies to energetically recruit homosexuals and lesbians, the report gives the impression America’s adoption industry has turned clearly in the direction of not only accepting, but strongly promoting, homosexual adoption.
“Laws and policies that preclude adoption by gay or lesbian parents disadvantage the tens of thousands of children mired in the foster care system who need permanent, loving homes,” the adoption organization said.
However, as J. Richard Pearcey reveals in his Pearcey Report, the pro-homosexual adoption report was written by a well-known pro-”gay” advocate.
The author of the study, notes Pearcey, is identified in the story only as “Illinois State University adoption expert Jeanne Howard.” And although AP does report that the study was “funded by the Gill Foundation and the Human Rights Campaign,” both actively involved in promoting the “gay rights” agenda, the report, writes Pearcey, “does not inform readers that Jeanne Howard is passionately involved in promoting acceptance of homosexuals in her work with P-FLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays).”
“Homosexual activists’ handprints are all over this one,” adds Robert Knight, director of the Culture & Family Institute, part of Concerned Women for America. “Take it with a grain of salt. They funded it and will no doubt promote it, hoping the public will be too distracted to check its pedigree.”
Associated Press’s failure to disclose the bias of its “expert” is reminiscent of Time magazine’s Oct. 10 cover story on “gay teens.” In “The battle over gay teens,” a positive portrayal of American youth “coming out” and proclaiming that they are “gay,” Time fails to disclose that its reporter, John Cloud, is himself homosexual. And Cloud, in turn, doesn’t mention until near the end of his lengthy report that the key researcher on which the entire story is based is also homosexual.
In fact, as WND revealed, Cloud – identified only as a Time staffer – in fact has a long history of advancing “gay” causes, including the promotion of anonymous homosexual orgies.
In the May 9, 1997, edition of the Washington City Paper, a homosexual publication, Cloud authored a piece called “The Naked City” in which he described his first-hand experiences at a Washington, D.C., group-sex party for homosexuals.
In his Time article, Cloud positively portrays the phenomenon of ever-younger American children self-identifying as “gay,” praises the massive proliferation of Gay Straight Alliance clubs in public schools nationwide, showcases the Point Foundation, which provides scholarships to youngsters who believe they are “gay,” and categorically dismisses professional therapeutic and religious attempts to help homosexuals change their orientation.
Cloud’s key expert throughout the Time cover story is Ritch Savin-Williams, chairman of Cornell University’s human development department and author of a new book called “The New Gay Teenager.” Not until near the close of the article does Cloud slip in the fact that Savin-Williams is “a 56-year-old gay man with a slightly elfish mien.”
While such blatant advocacy on Time’s part has provoked outrage, it also plays a central role in advancing the radical “gay rights” agenda, says David Kupelian, who dramatically exposes the sophisticated homosexual propaganda machine in his new book, “The Marketing of Evil.”
“When it comes to homosexuality and gay rights, most Americans simply have no idea what hit them,” said Kupelian. In the book’s opening chapter, “I unveil all of the amazing techniques and strategies radical ‘gay rights’ marketers have used over the last 15 years to utterly transform Americans’ views toward homosexuality.
“An absolutely vital part of that marketing campaign,” Kupelian adds, “is played by the not-so- ‘mainstream media,’ including Time.”
Homosexual ‘expertise’
In another even more high-profile instance of the non-disclosure of pro-homosexual “experts,” in late 2004 the American Psychological Association – the world’s largest psychologists’ organization with a reported 150,000 members – announced its controversial endorsement of same-sex “marriage”.
What the APA didn’t announce, however, was that the seven-member panel that spearheaded the evaluation and endorsement effort reportedly consisted entirely of “gay activists.” In fact, one of the panel members was the deaf lesbian who incited a national firestorm of protest when she and her lesbian partner, also deaf, used artificial insemination to intentionally produce deaf children.
The “working group” of psychologists, appointed by the APA Council of Representatives in February 2004 included: Armand Cerbone, Ph.D., Chicago; Beverly Greene, Ph.D., St. John’s University; Kristin Hancock, Ph.D., Graduate School of Professional Psychology at John F. Kennedy University; Lawrence A. Kurdek, Ph.D., Wright State University; Candace A. McCullough, Ph.D., Bethesda, Md.; and Letitia Anne Peplau, Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles.
The APA’s published qualifications for the working group members were “a combination of both scientific expertise in family and couple relations and professional expertise with lesbian, gay, and bisexual populations.”
What sort of “expertise”? According to the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, or NARTH, the psychologist association’s “Working Group on Same-Sex Families and Relationships” is made up of “gay activists.”
For instance, reported NARTH:
“Dr. Armand Cerbone, who was inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame in 2003 and was awarded an award for distinguished service to the gay movement by the Society for the Psychological Study of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Issues, which is Division 44 of the APA.
“Dr. Beverly Green, who served as editor of Psychological Perspectives on Lesbian and Gay Issues, published by Sage Publications in 2000.
“Dr. Kristin Hancock, who developed the APA’s ‘Guidelines for Psychotherapy with Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Clients,’ and is a founding member of APA’s Division 44, a group focusing on gay issues.
“Dr. Lawrence A. Kurdek, who serves on the editorial board of Contemporary Perspectives on Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Psychology.”
Possibly most controversial of all is the presence on the APA’s working group of Dr. Candace A. McCullough, a lesbian who attempted in 2002 to produce, for the second time, a deaf child by artificial insemination, using sperm from a deaf donor. Both McCullough and her lesbian partner, Sharon Duchesneau, are deaf. Their attempt to create a second deaf baby was profiled by the Washington Post on March 31, 2002.
“It would be nice to have a deaf child who is the same as us,” Duchesneau, who carried the baby to term, told the Post two months before the baby boy, named Gauvin, was born. “I think that would be a wonderful experience. You know, if we can have that chance, why not take it?”
They succeeded, according to the Advocate (“The National Gay & Lesbian Newsmagazine”), which disclosed in 2002 that Duchesneau and McCullough had earlier sought a deaf sperm donor to father their daughter, Jehanne, as well as later for their son, Gauvin, focus of the Post article.
“As a result,” says the Advocate report, “Jehanne is deaf, and Gauvin is deaf in one ear and has severe hearing loss in the other. And that’s what both mothers – who consider their deafness an identity, not a disability – intended.”
Ken Connor, former president of the Washington-based Family Research Council, echoed the sentiments of many: “To intentionally give a child a disability, in addition to all the disadvantages that come as a result of being raised in a homosexual household, is incredibly selfish,” he told Agence France Presse.
Explaining the APA’s resolution blessing same-sex marriage, NARTH president Dr. Joseph Nicolosi said the psychologist organization has “let political activists take over the APA in this particular area, and these activists are giving us their own, values-laden ‘take’ on the issues.”
NARTH, an organization of psychiatrists, psychologists, certified social workers and others focused on therapeutically helping homosexuals become heterosexual, was founded in 1992.
Because the APA starts out “with the foundational belief that there’s no real difference between the genders, then mothers and fathers start to look interchangeable,” said Nicolosi. “With such a worldview, gay and straight relationships look the same; then gay marriage starts to look as if it were no different from the natural, biological family. And, when the research comes in – as indeed it has – showing gays and lesbians to be less psychologically healthy than straights, then the APA simply dismisses it, saying that the psychological problems are due solely to society’s homophobia.”
How a ‘gay rights’ leader became straight

By Michael Glatze
© 2010
Editor’s note: See the news story about Michael Glatze in today’s WND, titled “‘Gay’-rights leader quits homosexuality.”
Homosexuality came easy to me, because I was already weak.
My mom died when I was 19. My father had died when I was 13. At an early age, I was already confused about who I was and how I felt about others.
My confusion about “desire” and the fact that I noticed I was “attracted” to guys made me put myself into the “gay” category at age 14. At age 20, I came out as gay to everybody else around me.
At age 22, I became an editor of the first magazine aimed at a young, gay male audience. It bordered on pornography in its photographic content, but I figured I could use it as a platform to bigger and better things.
Sure enough, Young Gay America came around. It was meant to fill the void that the other magazine I’d worked for had created – namely, anything not-so-pornographic, aimed at the population of young, gay Americans. Young Gay America took off.
(Column continues below)
Gay people responded happily to Young Gay America. It received awards, recognition, respectability and great honors, including the National Role Model Award from major gay organization Equality Forum – which was given to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chr?tien a year later – and a whole host of appearances in the media, from PBS to the Seattle Times, from MSNBC to the cover story in Time magazine.
I produced, with the help of PBS-affiliates and Equality Forum, the first major documentary film to tackle gay teen suicide, “Jim In Bold,” which toured the world and received numerous “best in festival” awards.
Young Gay America created a photo exhibit, full of photographs and stories of gay youth all across the North American continent, which toured Europe, Canada and parts of the United States.
Young Gay America launched YGA Magazine in 2004, to pretend to provide a “virtuous counterpart” to the other newsstand media aimed at gay youth. I say “pretend” because the truth was, YGA was as damaging as anything else out there, just not overtly pornographic, so it was more “respected.”
It took me almost 16 years to discover that homosexuality itself is not exactly “virtuous.” It was difficult for me to clarify my feelings on the issue, given that my life was so caught up in it.
Homosexuality, delivered to young minds, is by its very nature pornographic. It destroys impressionable minds and confuses their developing sexuality; I did not realize this, however, until I was 30 years old.
YGA Magazine sold out of its first issue in several North American cities. There was extreme support, by all sides, for YGA Magazine; schools, parent groups, libraries, governmental associations, everyone seemed to want it. It tapped right into the zeitgeist of “accepting and promoting” homosexuality, and I was considered a leader. I was asked to speak on the prestigious JFK Jr. Forum at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in 2005.
It was, after viewing my words on a videotape of that “performance,” that I began to seriously doubt what I was doing with my life and influence.
Knowing no one who I could approach with my questions and my doubts, I turned to God; I’d developed a growing relationship with God, thanks to a debilitating bout with intestinal cramps caused by the upset stomach-inducing behaviors I’d been engaged in.
Soon, I began to understand things I’d never known could possibly be real, such as the fact that I was leading a movement of sin and corruption – which is not to sound as though my discovery was based on dogma, because decidedly it was not.

YOUR SO CALLED FRIEND PIERRE DE VOS HAS REVEALED HIS TRUE COLOURS. FREEDOM OF SPEECH ONLY FOR HOMOSEXUALS.

Anastasis’ cunning argumentation pleases me immensely. Who knew the power of great bigass blockquoting of Conservapedia? ( http://conservapedia.com/Homosexual_Agenda ). Anastasis, a far more sinister conspiracy requires YOUR (!) attention, as is revealed in the article on the Theory of Relativity ( http://conservapedia.com/Theory_of_relativity ) from this most revered of sources.
“Some liberal politicians have extrapolated the theory of relativity to metaphorically justify their own political agendas. For example, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama helped publish an article by liberal law professor Laurence Tribe to apply the relativistic concept of “curvature of space” to promote a broad legal right to abortion.[45] As of June 2008, over 170 law review articles have cited this liberal application of the theory of relativity to legal arguments.[46] Applications of the theory of relativity to change morality have also been common.[47] Moreover, there is an unmistakable effort to censor or ostracize criticism of relativity.[48]”
Oh will the great librhul conspiracies never end? But there remains a glimmer of hope!
“Despite censorship of dissent about relativity, evidence contrary to the theory is discussed outside of liberal universities.[37]“
Good grief!! They mutate!
[Yawn] It seems the latest entry has resulted in yet another rehashing of the “gay debate” [yawn].
What is of interest is the way in which Prof de Vos takes on Mr Naidoo. Yet another example of SA’s trash culture at work – and this from a professor of law. Of course, if Mr Naidoo or his supporters were to take on Prof de Vos and his fellow travellers in the same way (making insulting remarks about a person’s appearance or behaviour because he or she was homosexual); suggesting that he or she was engaged in financial impropriety), they would be throwing around the usual accusations of “homophobia” and working overtime to shut them up. Or perhaps I’m wrong: if Mr Naidoo and friends said they were just being “humorous”, the comments would be taken in good spirit. Yeah, right …

Hey Mutant,
I would be very happy to have Pierre as my friend. Sadly for me our only engagement is here, exchanging thoughts at most. I do however that he is an exemplary human being. And brave too – certainly not prone to the idiocy that you have shown in various incarnations.
That aside, are you actually proud of the disgrace that you are bringing to your religion, associates and family?
Do people close to you know of your outrageous and disgusting behaviour?
YES PIERRE DE VOS IS A trash professor of law.
SOMEONE IS MAKING SENSE AT LAST.
I WONDER HOW HE GOT HIS PH D?
DID HE HAVE TO SLEEP WITH HIS MALE SUPERVISOR?
TAKE THAT DE VOS. THIS IS HOW YOU LIKE TO TO ATTACK PEOPLE.
I KNEW HE WAS A MOFFIE WHEN I FIRST HEARD HIS FEMININE VOICE.
Well, you did categorize this one for humour. She/he’s not even slightly as annoying as the vampires who diligently troll the net, bleeding SA dry of hope and optimism, the lifeblood of true Democratic spirit.
The whoever Anastasia is, deserves only pity. Her opinions are actually indicative of obsessive insanity. The proof of this is in how sick they make themselves, their soul included, and how little genuine love they know in their lives.
My goodness, the children are running wild tonight, must be the cycle of the moon. Remember the ditty: sticks and stones… etc.
@ Johan,
Floyd is that you?

Thanks for the hint – it sure sounds easy enough to get a Phd
Who’s de Vos’ supervisor?
BTW you sound like a moffie too – are you a Phd supervisor?

Hey Sam,
Are you thinking of Pink Floyd?
is julius malema gay?
he seems to be the only “man” in the ANC that is single, never has a woman with him and nobody has come forward claiming to have his kid or slept with it. i do hope somebody takes this further.
Hate is so time consuming. Thank God I never leaned such nonsense from my parents.
When I was a young man with a great bod, and working in theatre, I was often approached by gay men. I learned to give them a hug and reject them gently, without feeling any threat whatsoever.
My life is so full with all my various friends and companions, including gay and bisexual souls. Gosh, but the music, the food, energy and conversations are so vibrant in such mixes. Bigots and homophobics have no idea.
And no, I’m not in the closet, rather happily ensconced with three incredible wives in my life, and now seven children and more grandchildren. I teach my various offspring only love, tolerance and patience. What better way is there for the world to get along together? So for those hateful and intolerant posters on this blog tonight, what do you practice… love, or intolerance and hate?
Maggs, fair point you made about our resident mutant: different guises, same stupidity
Mr Kartoffel
Mr Kartoffel’s a whimsical man;
He drinks his beer from a watering can,
And for no good reason that I can see
He fills his pockets with china tea.
He parts his hair with a knife and fork
And takes his ducks on a Sunday walk.
Says he, “If my wife and I should choose
To wear our stockings outside our shoes,
Plant tulip bulbs in the baby’s pram
And eat tobacco instead of jam
And fill the bath with cauliflowers,
That’s nobody’s business at all but ours.”
Says Mrs. K., “I may choose to travel
With a sack of grass or a sack of gravel,
Or paint my toes, one black, one white,
Or sit on a bird’s nest half the night -
But whatever I do that is rum or rare,
I rather think that is my affair.
So fill up your pockets with stamps and string,
And let us be ready for anything!”
Says Mr. K. to his whimsical wife,
“How can we face the storms of life,
Unless we are ready for anything?
So if you’ve provided the stamps and the string,
Let us pump up the saddle and harness the horse
And fill him with carrots and custard and sauce,
Let us leap on him lightly and give him a shove
And it’s over the sea and away, my love!”

The Maggots
The maggots have nestled in Geordie’s hat;
The maggots have quarrelled in Geordie’s hat;
There were three of them murdered, and thirty-three grat –
The poor silly maggots in Geordie’s hat,
Up gat an auld maggot, a wonder to see,
His gnarled grey head was so silly and wee,
And he said, after ten times he hoasted and spat,
“There are owre mony maggots in Geordie’s hat.”
An impudent maggot sprang out of the raw,
And cried, “Daddy, wha hath begotten us a’?
“Tis a foul flyte for ane that’s sae faur in the faut
If there’s owre mony maggots in Geordie’s hat”
Here an old mother maggot skreeched out “Hold thy peace,
Thou varlet, thou viper, thou vile scant o’ grace!
Snap ye your ain daddy wi’ ill-seasoned chat,
Thou silliest maggot in Geordie’s hat?”
Up spake a bold leader – “What means this ill weather?
Are we not all maggots – all maggots together?
Though our number were double – the better for that –
We are all brother-maggots in Geordie’s hat.”
I was wondering when you’d favour me with a sound bite. Maybe you’d ask yourself a question: is your last post something that Jesus would have done?
Exactly! WWJD? This?

@ Maggs,
I was talking about Floyd Shivambu. That Johan/Floyd was on the verge of accusing Pierre of having concubines and that sleeping around is sleeping around.
hahahahahaha.
I see the mutants ran out of identities now.
Whoever you are it must be a compliment to use my name (even in vain).

White male wanting to be a blk cock slave. Real here and looking for this.
It is time to let people know where my heart is. People keep trying to say I’m a lesbian. I don’t know what I am. All I know is that I’m in love with Myra. I love her completely and want to spend the rest of my life with her
Maggs, I have no interest at all in the policies and programs of the so-called “Gay” DA liberal sauna in Johannesburg.
Yet, I remain interested in you views about flamboyant homo-erotic deviationism of 1st Century Palestine – a subject about which Anastasis taught us very liitle.
Thanks.
LOL! Dworky’s just the man to confuse the hell out of the double digit IQs!
Not only are they mutating, but it appears that they are assuming other people’s identities. Like you Maggs, I appear to have been the victim of identity theft.
Damn these Christians fight ugly!!
But, I guess this lot provide incontrovertible proof that the Theory of Evolution is correct, because quite obviously, their sense of humour, sense of compassion and general social skills have not yet evolved.
Interesting indeed!!!!
The gay culture? I’m trying to understand, what is that? I remember the 70s and 80s that the line was that this is only about sex, it’s not about anything else, right? So what’s the gay culture? Is that where we get into the promiscuity and the pedophilia? Or are these just regulation human beings, who somehow have an error in their sexual orientation but otherwise are seriously regulation human beings? I’m confused. First I’m told for 20 years that it’s only about sex. Now I’m told it’s a whole culture. So what’s in the culture? What is it? If it’s just about sex, then the culture must only be about sex.

Hey Sam,
“Damn these Christians fight ugly!!”
These are not Christians.
They’re perverts.
But I am sooooooooooooo glad that the true nature of the beast is being exposed.
It is not politically correct to refer to homosexuals as perverts, but political correctness is a Marxist method of societal transformation so I’m not concerned about the opinions of the PC crowd.
I call homosexuals perverts because it is an accurate description of what they do: to pervert is to “use wrongly or badly”, according to my dictionary. Allow me to explain.
Humans are designed as sexual beings, and the design is clear: tab A fits into slot B. This design is also indicated by that fact that A+B results in the perpetuation of the human race.
Combining tab A with tab A or slot B with slot B is like trying to put together two puzzle pieces that aren’t supposed to go join: you’re going against the will of the designer and it just doesn’t work unless you damage the pieces and thereby corrupt the design.
To put it another way, cars are clearly designed to go from C to D by travelling forwards. No one in their right mind tries to go from C to D in a car traveling backwards, because it’s dangerous, the car isn’t designed for it, and you get medical problems like a sore neck.
I call homosexuals perverts because they use the human body “wrongly or badly”. Variations on the design are possible, but like forcing two pieces of a puzzle together it causes damage.
Hey Pierre,
How about doing something about the name raiders?
Put up their email addresses to start with.
Start with anyone whose name is “Maggs Naidu”
Mine is maggsnaidu@hotmail.com.
Tell everyone else of the other email addresses that “I” used here.
I restore the
Mystical try of the
Absurd the Godless
Needs of men who
Deception is prince
Of old men’s loves
Of openly fools
Of food for the
Animal that we are
I store up whom
Trouble himself
As able man of
Easy colors and
Under the blues
The serpent is
Resplendid as
This beautiful man
Satan the light
Bringer of the lit light
I am the first
Unfettered furtive
Of flight and foes
Of misgivings
I escape from
The pause at dawn
And enchantress of
The sun and killers
Of wounded wonder and
Dead wonderstrucked
Lust I was
Born in a walking
World a mistress to man
A blush of morning’s
Fire fervor and
Unfettered by Gods.
@ Maggs
“No one in their right mind tries to go from C to D in a car traveling backwards, because it’s dangerous”
With respect, this is not necessarily so, Maggs, On Thursday, I accidently turned into a one-way street in Newlands. Quickly realising my error, I executed a four-point turn, then continued, reversing in the direction in which I had intended to travel in the first instance!
Thanks.

Maynard,
Yeah – but you were travelling from A to B so the rules are different
I’ve walked this earth for many years
And known a goodly share of queers.
I’ve always much preferred the men
Since really can’t remember when.
I might say men, but I mean boys,
I’ve tasted such forbidden joys.
I’m not entranced by women’s charms,
Preferring teenage boyish arms.
The love that cannot speak it’s name,
But I care not, I have no shame.
I hanker for a teenage flame.
I’m hankerin’, I’m hankerin’.
I trawl back-alleyways at night
And when a rent-boy is in sight,
I saunter up and ask his fee
To see if he’ll come home with me.
And then – pants off – down to the deed,
With vigour we exchange our seed
Until I’m spent – my passion done,
I pay him off, I’ve had my fun.
Then I sleep soundly ’til the morn
And then I’ll watch some hot gay porn,
That way I always get “the horn”.
I’m hungerin’, I’m hungerin’.
I am a POOF – cannot deny
Unvarnished truth – I do not try.
I walk with such a mincing gait,
A lilting lisp my other trait.
I’m bald and toothless, do not care,
I’ll buy my love – so who needs hair?
No teeth – so what? I sure can suck
As can be verified by Buk.
I long for Ian it is true,
But he is straight, oh what to do?
No wonder I am feeling blue.
I’m ponderin’, I’m ponderin’.
A poet I pretend to be,
Have yearned for praise since I was three.
It matters not that I am gay,
I’ll post my poems come what may.
My fame is known throughout Yahoo
As Granny Jane or Darren Q.
I’ve fooled them all and they are mine -
I am the swineherd, they the swine.
To trick them all is such a joy,
I’ll celebrate – I’ll get a boy
And treat him as my sexual toy.
I’m haverin’, I’m haverin’.

Pierre,
Hmm, after reading your articles about classifying nerds. I guess you fit
into one of those categories. Hmm, shall I say the lonely, bitter one
that sits at home all day and sulks about how much his life sucks?
Oh, and pretty sad that you go and diss little kids pictures. I guess
your parents didn’t beat you enough when you were a kid cause you sure
didn’t turn out fine.
Prof, maybe its just time to block comments entirely for a while. Just to give the loonies time go home, or back to Valkenberg.
With regards to all the genuine contributors.
I wondered lonely
As a duck
Bereft of lust
Yet enraptured
By the sinuous
Masculinity
of the Mallard
of the Meadows.
And I was graced then
With His mighty manifesto:
Constitutional values!
And his righteous loins learned
And taught
The urgent need for
TRANSFORMATION
of the Bench
And the pressing need
To expose
The deep corruption
of the liberal DA
and its racist media
Handmaidens.
Thanks.

Hey Chris,
“And the whites of course”
Nobody makes fun of Whites.
Ok I make fun of Brett but that’s not counted.
I do however take Brett seriously because when he was 18 he told the Cabinet that apartheid was bad.
They listened and now we have democracy.
Now Brett is angry with himself because the country is run by the Godless, shameless ANC.
And that’s why I make fun of Brett, not because he is White.
Maggs, what makes you assume I’m white? Have you heard of dr Hans Heese?
Anyway, I’m glad Michael is so protective over your people.
Brett Nortje says:
August 28, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Hey Brett,
“Maggs, what makes you assume I’m white?”
It a rather complicated explanation.
Simplified it is – any 18 year old Black person challenging the then Cabinet Ministers would have been killed.
So either you are dead or you are White.
Damn – now that I think about it, maybe you are not White.
You guys have still not learned the lesson about using ‘Christian’ in the pejorative!
You will not get very far with the South African people that way. We do not like it.
You have a simplistic view of the issue that is essential to your ‘othering’ of Christians without which you could not rationalise the cultural war you sometimes associate yourself with depending on how capricious your mood is.
Apart from the fact that there is a great deal of truth in what Marco Polo had to say, not all Christians minister to others to make a quick buck. I have a missionary friend who thought nothing of taking a second mortgage on his home to fund outreach in Khayelitsha when they were running out of bucks. And ministry does take money, outreach and charity cost a lot when most people do not have a huge amount of disposable lying around for charity and tithing after settling with the taxman, which is really the point of progressive taxation, now isn’t it?
Maggs, I’m impressed. At times, you ARE capable of reasoned thought. And here I said you only make sense when Dworky is speaking on your behalf.
There is a lot of truth in what you say: Perhaps it is because I would pass the pencil test.
One correction – not the whole cabinet – 2 cabinet ministers (one whose daughter I really liked – damn, I made some foolish decisions in my youth.)
Brett, I am delighted you speak for all South Africans. Also that you passed the “pencil test.” I am convinced we must continue to use racial categories – at least until Jesus comes!
Here’s the fun part, Dworky: More than 7 out of 10 South Africans feel that way.
Since psychoanalysis is a motiff in this thread: How did you come upon the ‘racial categories’ association?
Brett Nortje says:
August 28, 2010 at 13:16 pm
Hey Brett,
“one whose daughter I really liked – damn”.
Quite the romantic White fellow who passed the pencil test, eh!
Was her name Anastasia?
Dworky, are you not impressed by Maggs’ frankness when he made public that genetically, you have 6 IQ points head start over him?

Hey Pencil Case,
“Admittedly, the casual observer would argue that it is more like 60″.
By your own admission then, you’re 10 x below average.
Firatly let me say that I am a homosexual. Secondly let me say that I am a Christian. Since the Bible tells me that all who call upon my name will be saved – I consider myself saved. This rhetoric appalls me. People who are supposedly ambassoadors which has at its hear love spurting such venom is something that my God weeps at. My God does not need me to protect him – he is after all omnipotent. He calls me to “love my neighbour as myself” not merely love him as long as his ideologies conform to mine.
Perhaps some introspection is called for – to hate someone based on something they are is not Christian. As for the Science – the rubbish that has been reported here just sickens me. As a scientist don’t quote some stupid anecdote – prove it. Most psychopaths are heterosexual – shall we infer therefore that homosexuality protects you from being a psychopath? Perhaps many of those who have ventured opinions would quote it as “Homosexuality caused psychopathic behaviour” because there was one case. Such twisted demented logic exposed ignorance.
Well done on an interesting article Pierre – perhaps it is time people constructively learn about others before shooting off their mouths.
Pierre, you disappoint me. Why are you giving grist to Kenneth’s mill?
Your post self serving and demeans you.

Pierre said the same thing but in a much lengthier way. You have summarised Pierre’s piece very nicely.
I hope the con artists noted what you have said.
This essay is an outré, madness, a tragic, cruel fantasy, an eruption of inner rage, on how the oppressed desperately dream of being the oppressor.
We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.
Women, you cry for freedom. You say you are no longer satisfied with men; they make you unhappy. We, connoisseurs of the masculine face, the masculine physique, shall take your men from you then. We will amuse them; we will instruct them; we will embrace them when they weep. Women, you say you wish to live with each other instead of with men. Then go and be with each other. We shall give your men pleasures they have never known because we are foremost men too, and only one man knows how to truly please another man; only one man can understand the depth and feeling, the mind and body of another man.
All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men.
All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically and financially. We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy.
If you dare to cry faggot, fairy, queer, at us, we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead, puny bodies.
We shall write poems of the love between men; we shall stage plays in which man openly caresses man; we shall make films about the love between heroic men which will replace the cheap, superficial, sentimental, insipid, juvenile, heterosexual infatuations presently dominating your cinema screens. We shall sculpt statues of beautiful young men, of bold athletes which will be placed in your parks, your squares, your plazas. The museums of the world will be filled only with paintings of graceful, naked lads.
Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable and de rigueur, and we will succeed because we are adept at setting styles. We will eliminate heterosexual liaisons through usage of the devices of wit and ridicule, devices which we are skilled in employing.
We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals. You will be shocked and frightened when you find that your presidents and their sons, your industrialists, your senators, your mayors, your generals, your athletes, your film stars, your television personalities, your civic leaders, your priests are not the safe, familiar, bourgeois, heterosexual figures you assumed them to be. We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks. Be careful when you speak of homosexuals because we are always among you; we may be sitting across the desk from you; we may be sleeping in the same bed with you.
There will be no compromises. We are not middle-class weaklings. Highly intelligent, we are the natural aristocrats of the human race, and steely-minded aristocrats never settle for less. Those who oppose us will be exiled.
We shall raise vast private armies, as Mishima did, to defeat you. We shall conquer the world because warriors inspired by and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible as were the ancient Greek soldiers.
The family unit-spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence–will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated. Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory. They will be bonded together in communal setting, under the control and instruction of homosexual savants.
All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere to a cult of beauty, moral and esthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are free to live our lives according to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough.
The exquisite society to emerge will be governed by an elite comprised of gay poets. One of the major requirements for a position of power in the new society of homoeroticism will be indulgence in the Greek passion. Any man contaminated with heterosexual lust will be automatically barred from a position of influence. All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men.
We shall rewrite history, history filled and debased with your heterosexual lies and distortions. We shall portray the homosexuality of the great leaders and thinkers who have shaped the world. We will demonstrate that homosexuality and intelligence and imagination are inextricably linked, and that homosexuality is a requirement for true nobility, true beauty in a man.
We shall be victorious because we are fueled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed who have been forced to play seemingly bit parts in your dumb, heterosexual shows throughout the ages. We too are capable of firing guns and manning the barricades of the ultimate revolution.
Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks
Vanderbilt Muslim professor admits that Islam mandates death for homosexuals
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/01/vanderbilt-muslim-professor-admits-that-islam-mandates-death-for-homosexuals.html
Gay rights advocates make a huge issue of Christian opposition to gay marriage etc, while remaining indifferent to the murderous Islamic jihad against gays.
Right, that’s because protesting against Christians is low-risk/high reward. They can pat themselves on the back for being “brave” and standing up against those oppressive Christians. And of course, they know that they don’t face any serious threats of violence from the Christians, and in fact, the Christians may actually listen to their arguments. When it comes to standing up against Islam, whose practitioners might well use actual violence—well, a lot of their “bravery” suddenly transforms into “respect for different cultures” and “peaceful coexistence of different ideologies”.
@ Michael
“We shall raise vast private armies, as Mishima did, to defeat you”
Michael, will these giant homosexual armies (“must ask, must tell!”), be properly equipped with artillery, HMG’s, even tactical nukes? If that is your intention, I respectlfully suggest you support the campaign that Brett and myself will launch next weekend to legalise these weapons for private possession!
Many thanks.
Thanks Anna. The only post of this batch worth remembering. And probably more on topic than most.
@John-Michael…you have read all the posts and Anna’s the one worth remembering? Surely you must be the ostrich she describes so well!!

Gadhafi says Europe should convert to Islam
Aug 30, 2010 10:34 AM | By Sapa-AFP
Libyan leader Moamer Gadhafi told 500 paid hostesses attending a lecture in Rome that Europe should convert to Islam and gave each of them a copy of the Koran, reports the Italian press.
Gadhafi told the young women, hired by an agency and paid 70 or 80 euros (90 or 100 dollars) to attend the religious lecture on Sunday, that “Islam should become the religion of all of Europe and that Mohammed was the last prophet,” one of the women said, daily La Stampa reported.

The International Flat Earth Society is the oldest continuous Society existing on the world today. It began with the Creation of the Creation. First the water…the face of the deep…without form or limits…just Water. Then the Land sitting in and on the Water, the Water then as now being flat and level, as is the very Nature of Water. There are, of course, mountains and valleys on the Land but since most of the World is Water, we say, “The World is Flat.” Historical accounts and spoken history tell us the Land part may have been square, all in one mass at one time, then as now, the magnetic north being the Center. Vast cataclysmic events and shaking no doubt broke the land apart, divided the Land to be our present continents or islands as they exist today. One thing we know for sure about this world…the known inhabited world is Flat, Level, a Plain World.
We maintain that what is called ‘Science’ today and ‘scientists’ consist of the same old gang of witch doctors, sorcerers, tellers of tales, the ‘Priest-Entertainers’ for the common people. ‘Science’ consists of a weird, way-out occult concoction of jibberish theory-theology…unrelated to the real world of facts, technology and inventions, tall buildings and fast cars, airplanes and other Real and Good things in life; technology is not in any way related to the web of idiotic scientific theory. ALL inventors have been anti-science. The Wright brothers said: “Science theory held us up for years. When we threw out all science, started from experiment and experience, then we invented the airplane.” By the way, airplanes all fly level on this Plane earth.
Our Society of Zetetics have existed for at least 6,000 years, the extent of recorded history. Extensive writing from 1492 b.c. We have been and are the Few, the Elite, the Elect, who use Logic Reason are Rational. Summed up, we are Sane and/ or have Common Sense as contrasted to the “herd” who is unthinking and uncaring. We have absorbed the Universal Zetetic Society of America and Great Britian, ZION U.S.A., the work of Alexander Dowie 1888, Wilber Glen Voliva 1942, Samuel Shenton, Lillian J. Shenton of England 1971. Zetetic: from Zeto, to seek and search out; Prove, as contrasted to theoretic which means to guess, to hope, to suppose, but NOT to ‘prove’. Science ‘proves’ earth a ‘ball’ by ‘scripture’ words. We PROVE earth Flat by experiment, demonstrated and demonstrable. Earth Flat is a Fact, not a ‘theory’!
Our aim is not to ‘disturb the herd’ or wreck the Government, but rather to be an aid to the Elite Human Being in coming to KNOW earth flat…to then FREE his or her mind from such blind unreasoning ‘theory-superstition’ and so go on “to carefully observe…think freely…rediscover forgotten facts and oppose theoretical dogmatic assumptions.” As Sir Fields, owner of newspapers in England, has said about us, “They are the Last pocket of individual Thinkers in English speaking world.”
I sometimes call myself the Last Iconclast. Science is a false religion, the opium of the masses. I myself count it as a begining of Sanity to confess ‘the creation proves there was a Creator’ so a God or Creator…Exists. From a life-time of study, of seeking out a proving things, from the study of 6,000 years of recorded history, from observation, from experience, from Common Sense Observation, have concluded the 10 Commandments are in fact good Laws of Living and Behavior for oneself and all in contact with you…truley ‘Laws of Physics for Living.’ That is my opinion. The Fact the Earth is Flat is not my opinion, it is a Proved Fact. Also demonstrated Sun and Moon are about 3,000 miles away are both 32 miles across. The Planets are ‘tiny.’ Sun and Moon do Move, earth does NOT move, whirl, spin or gyrate. Australians do NOT hang by their feet under the world…this is a FACT, not a theory! Also a Fact the Spinning, Whirling, Gyrating Ball World Planet, Globe Idea is Entirely 100% now and at all times in the Past, a RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE…a Blind Dogmatic Article of Faith in the Religion for the Blind unreasoning beast of prey. No earthly reason for a Sane, Upright Member of the Elite Elect Humans to subscribe to it. Also a Fact, today the Elite of Earth ALL live on the Flat World. Only the illogical, unreasoning “herd”…prefers the way-out occult weird theology of the old Greek superstitution earth a spinning ball! Both Copernecious and Newton, the inventors of the “modern” superstitions (400 year OLD modern) have said: “It is not possible for a Sane reasonable person to ever really believe these Theories.” Thus sayeth Newton-Copernecious. What sayeth THOU?

Matt 5v17-19
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy The Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
God’s Laws are perfect and fair to ALL, not just for the rich like man made laws.

The TRUTH about Democracy.
Winston Churchill said many years ago, that democracy is the least bad of all of the systems of government produced out of human experience.
Winston Churchill is also quoted as having once said: “Most people, sometime in their lives, stumble across truth. Most jump up, brush themselves off, and hurry on about their business as if nothing had happened.” Just as a bell that has been rung cannot be “unrung”, the annoying problem with the Truth is that, once you learn it, you can not “unlearn” it.
———————
Democracy, which has become the Cure-all Mantra, quoted incessantly by all western politicians, is a LIE and a confidence-trick, that they and their puppet-masters are now trying to deceive the rest of the world with, and are using their economic and/or military-muscle and means to force other nations to adopt, so that their puppet-masters can use the politicians to help them to rip-off all the other nations too, just as they have done already to the vast majority of their own citizens.
It is very simple to see that democracy is a lie and a confidence-trick. All you have to do is analyse what it is supposed to be and then compare that definition to the reality.
Democracy is supposed to be the rule of the majority. Government of the majority of the people, for the majority of the people, by the majority of the people.
Let us now compare the smooth deceptive definition, to stark reality.
In the western world approximately 95% of the wealth is possessed by approximately 5% of the people. That means, using these same figures, that 95% of the people, the overwhelming majority, possess only 5% of the wealth.
The politicians would have us all believe that this is the will of the majority. That is the politician’s idea of what they call democracy.
When did the 95% of people, the overwhelming majority, ever vote for the right for themselves to be poor and vote for the tiny 5% minority to possess their own (the poor people’s) share of the nation’s wealth, that the poor majority’s ancestors have fought and died to protect?
The Ruler of the Universe has prohibited democracy because He knew that the rich would use it and other means to deceive and rip everyone else off; keep the majority down and poor; just as He wrote, via His Prophets in The Bible.
He gave the world, via Moses, the perfect system of government, under which there is no poverty; no poor people and consequently no need to resort to crime to survive.
He prohibited the writing of laws and economic policies by humans, in order to protect the majority from abuse, and oppression created under the home-made laws of the rich and powerful.
Deuteronomy 17:14 When thou art come unto the land which the “I AM” thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;
17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom the “I AM” thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger (a Gentile) over thee, which [is] not thy brother.
17:16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt (slavery – employment under man-made laws), to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the “I AM” hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
17:18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this Law in a book out of [that which is] before the priests the Levites (The Torah):
17:19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the “I AM” his God, to keep all the words of this Law and these Statutes, to DO them:
17:20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn NOT aside from the Commandment (The Covenant), [to] the right hand (right-wing politics), or [to] the left (left-wing politics): to the end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
Many people can see the Democracy (demon-crazy) Deception and refuse to vote, so the wily politicians made-up special rules to allow themselves to rule using only a majority of the votes, even when the number of people who vote is only a minority of the population. How can that possibly be conceived to be the rule of the majority? Of course it is not the rule of the majority; it is a confidence-trick.
Those who can see the deception, unfortunately do not know what to do about the confidence trick; because they do not study; understand and apply the teachings of The Bible, having been deceived yet again by the misinterpretations of the churches, who work with, and are part of, the political-system; and so just watch the puppets* dancing on their strings, not knowing how to cut those strings forever.
The Ruler of the Universe pre-warned you about all of this in The Bible and that you are not “a law unto yourselves” and that if you will not live by His Law, in prosperity and peace, then you will die by His Law, either, during Armageddon, or, shortly after, during “The Reaping”.
Unfortunately the lunatics have taken-over and are running this asylum, but The Law is still The Law, even if you decide to break it and the penalty, in this case, as you have all been told repeatedly, is death. It is not quite too late yet, to return to The Covenant; prosperity and freedom from oppression in The Torah; the five Books given to Moses:- Genesis; Exodus; Leviticus; Numbers and Deuteronomy, which are the first five Books in The Bible.
* Losing Your Illusions.
A young child viewing a puppet show will sit happily entranced and fascinated by the animated, talking marionettes, believing that they are very much alive and real. One day, when the child is older, and sees the strings attached to the puppets for the very first time, the illusion is forever shattered. The child will always know that hidden hands control the lifeless puppets.
Most people living today have advanced into adulthood without ever having known of, or seen, the hidden hands controlling their systems of money, taxation, public education and social reform. The nearly invisible strings attached to the marionettes are well concealed, and the marionettes themselves – politicians; religious leaders; heads of colleges, scientists, foundations and think-tanks; media moguls and other officials held in general-esteem by the people – act so lifelike as to blend perfectly with their audience.
For the young child, the puppet-theatre is a small box with curtains, and the strings – usually transparent nylon fishing-line – rise up to the hands of loving parents and friendly neighbours.
For the adult, the “Virtual Puppet-theatre” is the controlled space between their ears. The space within which their belief-system can be manipulated – held entranced and fascinated – by puppet-masters directing cleverly crafted plays, dramas and crises, the plots to which the audience is told will unfold to their general benefit and to the endings which have already been written.
Invisible strings called beliefs rise up to hidden hands holding global-wealth and power. As long as the illusion can be maintained, the audience can be held spellbound. For them, the show is their reality.
Until, one day – they see the strings.
Discovering The Truth.
In speaking of the Truth, Henry David Thoreau once said: “Any Truth is better than make-believe … rather than love, than money, than fame, give me Truth.”
Yet Italian Renaissance statesman and political writer, Niccolo Machiavelli, wrote in The Prince, one of the most influential political works of all time, that governments are created to lie to the greatest number of people the greatest amount of the time.
And why do governments lie? Why, to cover up their previous lies in order to protect the perpetrators, of course.
But the Truth is a funny thing. You can distort it, you can even suppress it for a while. Sometimes you discover that it’s been hiding in plain view all along. Eventually the Truth always comes out as unsealed records, and death-bed confessions reveal decades later what really happened.
But once in a while the lie, the fraud or hoax is exposed while the perpetrators are still alive, as is the case today, with this article.
What will you do now? What did Winston Churchill say? “Most people, sometime in their lives, stumble across truth. Most jump up, brush themselves off, and hurry on about their business as if nothing had happened.” Until it is too late to do anything about it – JAH.
What do you think the rest of the world, who have been forced to adopt democracy, instead of The Covenant, are going to do when they find-out it doesn’t work and that the West knew that, before it forced them to adopt it? And who are they going to quite rightly blame for all of their suffering? YOU. Then what will they do? Armageddon.
