My Gazette: Christian Persecution, Part III

By Rich Kozlovich 

Here was Christian Persecution, Part One, and Part Two,

For those of us who remember...fondly remember.... what America was like in the 40's, 50's, and early 60's it's mind boggling to think a Presidential candidate would have to come out and say he will prevent Christian persecution in the United States. But the reality that's America today with radical leftists, and large number of Jihadist Muslims, which is in fact all Muslims, infesting the nation, along with our legislative and administrative bodies, that's now become an imperative, In point of fact:  

Report: Attacks on Churches Increased 800% in 6 Year Katherine Hamilton Attacks on churches have increased nearly 800 percent in less than six years, indicating that “hostility against U.S. churches is not only on the rise but also accelerating,” a Family Research Council (FRC) report found. Between 2018 and 2023, FRC identified 915 acts of hostility against churches in the United States by analyzing open-source documents, reports, and media outlets. In just the last year alone (between January and November of 2023), 436 acts of hostility against churches occurred, according to the report. “This was more than double the number of incidents in all 12 months of 2022, which was 195. It also marked the second consecutive year that saw more than twice the number of incidents of the year before,” the report states. “There were at least 96 incidents in 2021, 55 in 2020, 83 in 2019, and 50 in 2018. Over the entire reporting period for this report, from 2018 to 2023, acts of hostility appear to have increased in frequency over time”

The Left's Latest Attack on Christianity - Laura Hollis  |  Feb 29, 2024 - In a paroxysm of panic about Americans' rejection of the Biden administration's policies of open borders, rampant crime, runaway inflation, and profligate spending on foreign wars, the Left has decided that the real cause of the widespread dissatisfaction and demand for policies that place Americans first is "Christian nationalism."  They've been tossing this term around for a while, but it has picked up steam in recent weeks. It attracted widespread attention last week when Politico reporter Heidi Przybyla appeared on MSNBC to expound upon the article she penned warning of the presence of "Christian nationalists" in America who are flexing their political muscles. During her MSNBC appearance, Przybyla explained ominously that "Christian nationalists" believe that (wait for it) "our rights as Americans -- as all human beings -- don't come from any earthly authority. They don't come from Congress; they don't come from the Supreme Court; they come from God."...........

Supreme justice: My warning for Christians is being ignored Landmark ruling has people of faith targeted simply - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito says his warning that came in the Obergefell same-sex "marriage" ruling several years ago about discriminating against Christians is being ignored in American society. That was that people of faith soon would be labeled "bigots" and discriminated against simply because of their faith................Alito explained, "At the beginning of voir dire, Finney’s attorney asked all the jurors what he characterized as 'a tricky question,' namely, whether any of them 'went to a conservative Christian church' where 'it was taught that people [who] are homosexua[l] shouldn’t have the same rights as everyone else' because 'what they did' was 'a sin.'"The question was indeed 'tricky' because it conflated two separate issues: whether the prospective jurors believed that homosexual conduct is sinful and whether they believed that gays and lesbians should not enjoy the legal rights possessed by others," he wrote.Two potential jurors responded and a pastor's wife stated that the Bible teaches homosexuality is a sin, but "So is gossiping, so is lying."............

Watch — Bishop Joseph Strickland: Catholics Were Targeted by FBI Because They Are Pro-Life - Katherine Hamilton The FBI’s targeting of Catholics sounds “much more like Nazi Germany or communist Russia than the United States,” Bishop Joseph Strickland said. Breitbart News’s Matthew Perdie interviewed Strickland on Thursday at CPAC 2024 in National Harbor, Maryland, about the FBI’s investigation into traditional Catholic churches.  As Breitbart News reported, a leaked memo last year from the FBI’s Richmond office stated that violent extremists’ “interest” in “radical-traditionalist Catholic” ideology was growing and that it therefore presented an opportunity for the FBI to engage with certain churches in an attempt to goad the churches’ leadership into serving as FBI “tripwires,” who would operate like unofficial informants to the FBI. House Republicans have since discovered that multiple field offices appeared to be involved in crafting the memo and that the FBI allegedly interviewed a priest and a church choir director. .............

It's become increasingly obvious the federal government is conspiring to destroy Christianity in America, along with traditional Judaism.  Especially those "radical" Catholics who want to hear mass in the traditional Latin.  Wow!!!! How radical is that, and they even think abortion is the murder of the innocent unborn.  

So, clearly they must be spied on and even persecuted.  Just because it's the Muslims who are rioting, burning and blowing up the world, raping women everywhere, murdering innocent unsuspecting unarmed defenseless people screaming "Allahu Akbar", and "Death to America", c'mon man we have to have some set priorities.   It's those darn Latin loving Catholics ya just gotta watch. 

The attack on so-called ‘Christian nationalists’ is more nefarious than you realize - February 27, 2024 - By Andrea Widburg - A Politico reporter appearing on MSNBC garnered headlines because she said that (gasp!) so-called “Christian nationalists” believe that our rights come from God and not from the government. Those Christian beliefs, of course, align perfectly with Enlightenment thinking and the magnificent introduction to the Declaration of Independence. Many have seen her statement as a way to empower government. But the real stinger is hidden in the word “nationalism.” For the left, that’s code for Hitler. She just called everyone who believes in natural rights “Hitler.” According to Heidi Przybyla, a Politico reporter, America is under attack from “Christian nationalists”:...........

Nolte: Like All Rob Reiner Movies, ‘God and Country’ Flops with $38K Opening John Nolte - Like all Rob Reiner movies, Rob Reiner’s documentary, God & Country: The Rise Of Christian Nationalism, didn’t just tank at the box office, it was humiliated. In 85 theaters, Reiner’s bigoted attack on Christians who dared to vote for Donald Trump earned just $38,415 over four days. As one website put it, that’s “averaging $451 [per] theater over four days, which is incredibly low.” If you assume it only had “one showing each day (and likely it had several), it brought in around 112 dollars a day, or ten people a day spread across however many showings.”  What, you’re telling me people don’t want to see this guy’s face on the big screen?...........

Will Politico Apologize for Its Reporter's 'Smearing of the Christian Faith'? - Spencer Brown - It was the Missouri Court of Appeals that affirmed that action partly "on the basis of their religious beliefs," Alito charged. That was what he had warned against in Obergefell, a court ruling that Chief Justice John Roberts described as having no relationship to the Constitution. The court, then dominated by leftists, created simply based on their own beliefs same-sex "marriage" for the nation, undoing the specific actions taken by voters in dozens of states. Alito's warning then was that based on that change, he expected that people of faith, those who follow the Bible's religious teachings, soon would be treated as "bigots" and excluded because of their beliefs, a foreshadowing of exactly what the Missouri case did.....

POLITICO Reporter Apologizes After Smearing Christians, U.S. Founding. - Heidi Przybyla issued a public apology on Thursday for insisting those who believe their rights come from God are “extremists” and “Christian nationalists.” Przybyla’s apology was published in response to a letter sent to POLITICO‘s leadership by two national Christian organizations. The Family Research Council and Catholic Vote criticized Przybyla for exhibiting what they deemed as a “disqualifying lack of knowledge of the United States of America’s founding documents and a profoundly prejudicial view toward American religious groups.”..........

Is it any wonder Donald Trump made it clear he will defend Christianity.  Why would a Presidential candidate say such a thing?  Because it's clear it's absolutely necessary. 

Trump Promises to Protect Christians From PersecutionCal Thomas  Feb 27, 2024 -  Speaking to an audience of devoted fans at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville last Friday, Donald Trump said if re-elected president he will "... create a new federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias. ... Its mission will be to investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment and persecution against Christians in America."  Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of the mega First Baptist Church in Dallas, said Trump's speech "was the most powerfully pro-Christian speech I've ever heard from any president. He will win the Christian vote in a landslide!"

Trump Throws Down for Christians  ‘No One Will Be Touching the Cross of Christ’ in My 2nd Term Commies Stamp Out Churches… Fascists Take Them Over… Left Doing Both Today! - -  Former President Donald Trump promised to use a second term in the White House to defend Christian values and even suggested he’d shield the faith’s central iconography, warning a convention of religious broadcasters on Thursday night that the left wants “to tear down crosses.” “Remember, every communist regime throughout history has tried to stamp out the churches, just like every fascist regime has tried to co-opt them and control them. And, in America, the radical left is trying to do both,” Trump told hundreds of cheering attendees at the National Religious Broadcasters International Christian Media Convention in Nashville.................

The hypocrisy, ignorance, and stupidity of Hollywood, and the media would be laughable if it wasn't so sickening.  These are the same stupid misfits that rail against Israel for attacking Gaza, yet all the while  defending the vile and disgusting savage beasts of HAMAS. 

Hamas’ Sadistic Sex Crimes - Imagine the very worst, and they did it that day.On October 7, Hamas not only murdered 1,200 people. Its operatives raped women and girls, in every conceivable way. Hamas men took turns raping the same victims over and over again. They mutilated their bodies, especially their genitals, sometimes pushing knives and guns into their vaginas, sometimes cutting off their sexual organs, sometimes shooting them in their vaginas, and watched them bleed to death. They sliced off their breasts and played catch with them. They filmed one another committing these acts – they were proud of themselves. What fun to torment the yahudim. They made sure that the girls and women were raped in front of their husbands, fathers, children, who were forced to watch. Imagine the very worst, and they did it that day.

This is a worldwide massacre of Christians, mostly by Muslims, and the western governments of the world are largely silent, right along with the UN and the EU.  They don't care, and they clearly support that with their silence.  As Paul Scofield portraying Sir Thomas More in the movie A Man For All Seasons stated, "As a matter of law, silence denotes agreement." 

Christianity illegal?  - By Bob Unruh February 29, 2024  -Long-running government campaign to stir hate reaching end goal New plan predicted to 'overtly persecute' faith members 'with the force of criminal law A government hate campaign against Christianity that WND first documented some 16 years ago when Canada's discriminatory speech limits first started affecting Christian ministries there, is reaching its end game now. It's a plan to "criminalize Christianity, with Bible reading and prayer considered 'hate speech' – a 'crime' punishable with prison time," according to a new report from NewsAddicts...Explained the report, "Traditional Christian practices such as celebrating Christmas or attending church service will be considered crimes that carry severe penalties." ..........

Silenced Screams: The Unseen Jihad Against Nigeria's Christians Amy Mek March 10, 2024 Under U.S. President Joe Biden, the State Department removed Nigeria—a nation where one Christian is butchered every two hours—from the the State Department’s list of Countries of Particular Concern. In a string of horrifying incidents, Nigeria has once again been rocked by violence perpetrated by various Islamic terrorist groups and criminal gangs, leaving innocent civilians, particularly Christians, in fear and anguish. In the latest of these atrocities, Christian Emergency Alliance reports that over 200 women and children were abducted by Boko Haram militants while they were collecting firewood in the vicinity of Gamboru Ngala, near Lake Chad. The incident underscores the ongoing threat posed by Boko Haram, notorious for its abduction of civilians, particularly women and children, in Nigeria’s northeast region.......

 Jihadists in West Africa kill 15 Catholics During Mass - February 25, 2024- At least 15 Catholic worshippers were killed in a Burkina Faso village on Sunday when armed men attacked Catholics gathered at a small village to celebrate the Second Sunday of Lent.  According to the Associated Press, Abbot Jean-Pierre Sawadogo, vicar-general of the Catholic Diocese of Dori, said that the incident at the village of Essakane “was a ‘terrorist attack” that left 12 of the Catholic faithful dead at the scene, while three others died later as they were being treated for their wounds.”.......The former French colony is a landlocked country in West Africa that gained independence in 1960. According to the 2019 census, 64% of its population is Muslim, while Catholics are the largest minority, at around 20%. The Catholic Church is organized in 15 dioceses..............The number of people killed by jihadis has nearly tripled compared with the 18 previous months, according to a report by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies in August........

Christians Under Attack: Terrifying Surge of Church Arsons in Canada, Nearly 100 Torched as Leaders Cheer and Justify the Destruction. - In a detailed and harrowing piece titled “Canada: Nearly 100 Churches Torched, Four during Christmas, 2023,” published on January 25, 2024, by Raymond Ibrahim, an alarming trend of hostility towards Christianity in Canada is chronicled. Ibrahim reports that approximately 100 churches across Canada have been subjected to vandalism, arson, or desecration in the last two-and-a-half years, a figure that starkly contrasts the peaceful and tolerant image often associated with the nation. See the following map of every church burnt or vandalized since the residential school announcements...

Christians in Pakistan’s Islamic Hell - While general elections were held in Pakistan on February 8 amid allegations of fraud, Christians in the country continued suffering from severe persecution and braced themselves for a frightening future – having still been traumatized by last year’s anti-Christian pogrom. Hundreds of Christians fled their homes on August 16, 2013 when in the Pakistani district of Jaranwala, Muslim mobs launched an anti-Christian riotvandalizing churches and committing arson against both churches and Christians’ homes — all based just on an accusation that a Quran was desecrated.....

U.S. Christian who survived assassination attempt in Romania issues warning to America Cites erosion of parental rights By WND News Services March 6, 2024 - A Christian who faced persecution for her faith in Communist Romania in the 1980s and barely survived an assassination attempt orchestrated by dictator Nicolae Ceausescu warns that the undermining of parental rights in the U.S. today echoes Ceausescu’s totalitarian government. “It’s the same system that the socialists use in order for parents to be put in jail that the students, kids, will be taught in school to report their [parents] to school,” Virginia Prodan, a human rights lawyer who grew up in Communist Romania but came to the U.S. after President Ronald Reagan secured her release, tells “The Daily Signal Podcast.”.........

Finally, I can guarantee yo u this would not have become an issue fifty years ago.  When the founding fathers guaranteed freedom of religion they meant Christian religions, as they believed Christianity was so far superior to all other religions it wasn't necessary to say so in the Constitution.  They would have never dreamed of this, which is a clear demonstration of how far we've dropped as a culture.

Satanic Temple threatens to sue if schools bar its leaders from chaplain program - March 6, 2024 'Our ministers look forward to participating in opportunities to do good in the community'.  Two bills recently introduced in the Florida Legislature that would allow volunteer chaplains to provide counseling services in public schools have prompted The Satanic Temple to threaten legal action if its members are barred from participating. Senate Bill 1044 and its companion House Bill 931, which already passed the Florida House of Representatives last month, would also mandate that principals in schools with volunteer chaplains tell parents about it and offer them a list of the volunteers, all of whom will be subject to a background check............
