Climate Action Kit Complete with Religious Symbolism

Matt Ryan
Infowars.com
September 20, 2010

I consider myself to be a pretty economical and sensible guy when it comes to taking care of the world around me. I buy mostly pre-owned or electronic books, recycle when I can, and donate my old clothes and electronics to be enjoyed by others. What I have a hard time understanding is why so many people overlook the blatantly obvious symbolism behind much of the supposed climate change propaganda in the world today. While climate change belief is being pushed more and more as a religious movement, it’s no surprise that materials are being produced to appeal to someone’s theological ideals in an effort to convert them to believers. After all, a religiously fanatical climate activist is more likely to accept taxes on breathing if it comes with a promise of saving the planet.

While browsing through my local used book store yesterday, I came across a book titled ACME Action Plan. It caught my eye because of the nostalgic style cover and prominent display in the store. On the lower right-hand corner of the cover was the phrase, “From Provokateur ‘Mischief makes good!’” The term provocateur (correctly spelled) is often used to describe an agent hired to incite individuals to do something unethical or unlawful in order to change the opinion of the public.

Upon opening the book, you’re met with an explanation of who is behind it. It states, “It’s not a charity or government initiative and there’s no motivating wristband or celebrity endorsement.” The book was first printed in Great Britain in 2008 and is distributed through the official ACME Climate Action website and Amazon.

While scanning through the pages it isn’t hard to find some startling religious symbolism, comparing a compact fluorescent light set in a lamp adorned with “reduce, reuse, recycle” phrasing to a holy awakening. This scene takes place on a mock stained-glass window featuring two worshipers praying to the faint glow of the fluorescent light. This is, of course, ignoring the fact that CFLs have been linked to UV radiation and health problems, not to mention amounts of mercury that seep out in to landfills. In contrast, an LED based light might make a safer and more eco-friendly alternative.

The next page is made up like a board game describing the 7 steps of climate action. In the center of the board game is an image made to look like Buddha sitting between two windmills at the end of a winding path. This is clearly a reference to Buddhism’s Noble Eightfold Path, a fundamental part of Buddhist teachings. On the bottom of the game board is the statement, “From baby steps to grand strides, as your boots get bigger your carbon footprint gets smaller: The Way of Happiness is light in carbon.”

This book is full of postcards, flyers, bookmarks, and even cut-out pyramids aimed at turning the reader in to a mini climate cop citing those around them for their various climate crimes. One item in particular is an intergenerational report card encouraging you to test your family and friends on their eco-friendliness. You can send “troublesome politicians” an angry action letter or postcard as well as send out recruiting materials to convince others to help police their own neighborhoods.

Perhaps the oddest throw to religious iconography comes from the commercial promoting the book. A reference is made to ancient Egyptian pyramids built to honor the pharaohs which were thought of as living gods. The purpose behind bringing this obscure reference up in a commercial about climate action is worthy of a raised eyebrow or two.

ACME Climate Action is intended to encourage people to act on the supposed climate change crisis threatening our way of life. This book is intended to be taken apart and used to report, recruit and reintroduce the idea of climate change to as many people as possible. No matter what your stance or belief is in regard to global warming, the religious symbolism comparing light bulbs to holy revelations, recycling to commemorating Egyptian gods, and drinking tap water to enlightenment should at least cause even the most uneducated reader to question the motives behind this propaganda.

Truth and Peace: How To Be A Peaceful, Happy, Truth Seeking Activist

by Mark Daniels
Global Political Awakening

The people who are involved in some way with social and political activism must find a way to maintain a sense of peace and serenity in the midst of some rather troubling information and facts.  While seeking to expose government and corporate corruption, modern day eugenics and population control strategies, the global conspiracy to enslave the masses, and much, much more; activists, writers, journalists, artists and others must also take the time to "take care of oneself" physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  A balanced life is essential to maintaining the energy and strength necessary to push forward against the ever increasingly oppressive organizations and institutions whose members seek to protect and maintain their power and control.   As Zbigniew Brzezinski recently stated "There is a new and unique development in human history that is taking place around the world; it is unprecedented in reach and volume, and it is also the greatest threat to all global power structures: the ‘global political awakening.’ 


How To Be Happy


"Positive psychology is a movement in social psychology which attempts to change the way that we think about humans," explains positive psychology expert Shawn Achor. "Instead of focusing merely on the average, which is what we normally do in traditional psychology—we would find out what the average person is like, or how the average person responds—instead, what we look at are people who are up above the curve for some given dimension. Maybe that means that they are extremely energetic, that they are very happy, they’re very productive.  And our goal is to find out why that is."

In his Big Think interview, Achor, the author of "The Happiness Advantage," tells us that, unlike regular psychology, which focuses on the average or below average, he studies people who are in some way exceptional, with the hopes of applying that knowledge to the greater population. 

We can actually reprogram our brains to be happier, says Achor. "The brain is like a single processor in a computer." Someone who is chronically negative or pessimistic is merely scanning first for the stresses and the hassles of life. And because the brain has finite resources, it cannot also scan for the positive elements. As a result, that person continuously reinforces his own negativity, causing himself to feel unhappy. The key to positive psychology is training the mind to divert its resources in a different way, finding ways to be optimistic and reasons to be grateful. After a period of about 21 days, the pattern of positive thinking can be retrained permanently in the brain, something Achor calls the Tetris Effect. And he tells us five ways that we can be happier by harnessing this Tetris Effect. 

And you can not only change your own outlook but also influence that of the people around you, something that has always been known but never fully understood. It has to do with something called "mirror neurons" in your brain. "These mirror neurons are the reason why a yawn spreads at board meetings," Achor explains. "Your brian, when you see something in your visual field, raises the likelihood of your experiencing that as well." The same goes for positivity—as well as negativity—which is why leaders can have such a profound effect in business.  "You can have one person in the room that is very expressive of their negativity and stress and it can spread to the entire team," Achor says. He also gives several other pieces of advice about leveraging the happiness advantage in the business world. 

Ultimately, Achor wants people to understand that happiness should not be kept on our cognitive horizons; it is not something that will magically appear after reaching a certain level in a company or a school. "Happiness is a work ethic," Achor says. "It's something that requires our brains to train just like an athlete has to train.  

Training oneself to be happier is an essential ingredient in one's overall level of peace and serenity.  For a more in depth analysis, you can read Shawn's book, The Happiness Advantage: The Seven Principles of Positive Psychology That Fuel Success and Performance at Work.  Additionally, we may find solace in a spiritual discipline which can allow us to escape from the tireless efforts of fighting for peace and justice for all.

Of course, exercise and nutrition are basic building blocks for increased physical and mental energy which contribute greatly to one's overall level of happiness.

We must constantly guard against the tendency to allow our well-intentioned activism to direct and control our lives to the exclusion of personal peace and serenity.

A larger perspective on 9/11

by Sonja Quinn on Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 5:04am

 I have to wonder....

These NWO guys that are running the show are pretty smart. They've duped us time and time again. Surely they would know that there would be physicists, demolition experts, engineers etc out there who would immediately recognize the falling of the twin towers as a demolition. So it makes one wonder why they would do it? It also makes the skeptics go against the idea that there are forces out there working behind the scenes because immediately you think "they wouldn't be that stupid to try and get away with something like this..." and also sends people into denial.

So here's my theory:

What do the people in control want? Well in this case they clearly wanted control of Iraq's oil reserves and even some are saying that that may have been a cover up or a bonus to what they REALLY went in to Iraq for; which was ancient Sumerian texts and artifacts kept in the museum in Baghdad. This is something I heard about only briefly one day, I don't know much about it but I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised either. I will let you all do your own research on this if you want to know more and make up your own mind. I'm not here to convince anyone of anything. I'm here to share a truth that resonates with me.

So what do all people in control want? More money, more power and more control. People who have power are blinded by power trips and by greed. If they can get more of what they want, they tend to be very short-sighted in their plans as long as they get what they want i.e not caring if they get found out in the long run.

I would say they clearly got more of what they wanted. This attack or perceived attack granted them public approval for the occupation of Iraq. Through this occupation they gained more MONEY from the oil, more CONTROL over the oil and Iraq, and therefore more POWER. They also gained more CONTROL and POWER over the people of the US and even the majority of the world, or at least the western EU countries, through the FEAR that the "attacks" have ingrained in everyones memory. This fear led to citizens clinging to their government for security. Through this fear they also gained more profit, MONEY. They got more money out of us because if you think about it.....what do people who are in fear do? They eat more, they drink more, they self-medicate more through legal or illegal drugs; through television; through facebook; through videogames, they take out more health insurance, home insurance....they basically try to "numb out" more. And through this self medicating with toxins, and brainwashing tv...they gained even MORE CONTROL. Television keeps us locked in this fearful reality. Toxins in junk food, alcohol and drugs of all kinds prevent our body from functioning properly which keeps us from realising our true selves and our true nature! (The body-mind-soul is a trinity of inter-dependant organisms that need to work together and be fully functional to realise our true potential. If one is impaired, they are all impaired.)

And yet, 10 yrs later we are still obsessing over trying to prove to people that this 9/11 thing was a false flag attack, while they are laughing their way to the bank. Its got us obsessing over the nitty-gritty details, what actually happened, campaigning, protesting, sitting around feeling angry and discussing the whole "us vs. them" scenarios, blame, projecting of the evil out there, bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness. These are all unevolving, unloving, unforgiving, unforgetting vibrations that keep us trapped in past moments and projecting into future moments. Do you really think they care that you know what really happened on 9/11? No! They already have what they want, more money, more power, more control and most importantly, keeping you all occupied on the past and on the negative while the 2012 gateway opportunity of evolution and spiritual growth gets closer and closer. You can think what you want about the 2012 theories. Whether they are bogus or not is up to you to figure out and decide. I am speaking my truth and I know what feels right for me. I can say this as an Indigo who has been guided by a higher intelligence since I was young. I have no fear about "shadow governments" or NWO plans etc because I know who I am and what my relationship is to God, the Universe. I am safe. We are all safe. But if we are spending all our time worrying about 9/11 and what the NWO is doing, do we have the time to look into the truth of what 2012 really means? Or who the Indigo children are? Or to have time to yourself to go within and find your power, your higher guidance, your safe place, your strength and inner realisation that there is nothing to fear? Do you have the time to step outside of your localised viewpoint to look at it from a grander perspective and really see what is going on in this world...in this Uni-verse? If you are constantly worrying about the NWO do you have the time to realise that we are going through a process of spiritual evolution and this is the most exciting time to be alive!!!

Turn off your tv's, radio's, videogames, and minds. Go outside, reconnect with Nature. It will show you well being, it will show the way to find who you really are. Talk to Mother Earth herself and ask her about the process of change that she is going through. Just like animals know to run to high ground when a tsunami is coming, if we reestablish our connection to our Mother and the Cosmos, we will be Divinely guided in every moment of our lives towards peace, happiness, understanding, compassion, truth and love. There truly is nothing to fear.

Forget the past, let go of the future, step into the now and ride this wave of evolution that our whole galaxy is going through. (Ask astronomers and physicists. Ice caps are melting on other planets in our solar system, not just ours. Not even our solar system but our WHOLE GALAXY is going through a process of evolution. This is what the Mayans tracked in their calendar. To the Mayans time was cyclical, a spiral. Their units of time measured evolutionary changes in the Universe.)

So feel the love. Meditate. Go within and listen to the soft reassuring whispers of the Universe. Wake up. Notice the signs and guidance all around you from the Universe. Raise your vibrations. Love, love, love. I know it sounds cliched and it does when you don't understand it, but it is true. Love is all there is and there is no other way out of fear and negativity except through love and the present moment. If you keep fearing, hating, angering you are sending out those vibes into creation. Mother Earth needs our love and healing right now, why are we wasting our energy on beings who do not care for us i.e. the 9/11 instigators. Why are we giving them all our energy and handing over all our power? There is no point trying to use external methods to regain our power. Your true power does not come from them, your sovereignty does not come from them, your freedom does not come from them. It comes from you. Yet the more time we spend thinking about trying to get it back from them, the more we are giving it to them!!

Wake up, step into the present moment. Look around you with clear eyes. Really look. Feel your body while you are looking. Be totally in the body while you perceive. To feel the body takes attention from the mind and it goes quiet. When its quiet, do you notice how everything looks new? Like you were seeing through the eyes of a new born baby? This is the wonder of the world that is always there but covered up by the veil of concepts and labels that thought processes produce. Open your heart and send love out to your surroundings, to everyone and everything whether animate or inanimate. It is all you. Everything is you. Everything is us, I. The great I Am. There is nothing to fear, it is all us out there.

"Resist ye not evil"...for what you resist persists.

What you fight, you strengthen....what you LOOK at disappears.

When you truly open your eyes and look at the perfection of everything, you see through the illusions. Look at history, look at the present, and look at what the Mayans are saying about where we are going to go in the future. See the bigger picture. LOOK at it.

If you fight the NWO you will surely strengthen it by giving it your attention and energy. If you look through the illusion it disappears. Nothing happens in God's world, in God's/Universe's plan that shouldn't be. I see 9/11 as a way of awakening sleeping souls. Yet there is another level of awakening to be reached.

I see these states of consciousness/ steps of awakening happening lately:

Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis

Bat Ye'or

Comment:  The following article/interview is posted here to highlight some of the issues currently relevant in the mainstream discussion of the "Ground Zero Mosque" debate and the "International Burn A Koran Day", promoted by Dove World Church's Pastor Terry Jones.

An interview with Bat Ye'or

By John W. Whitehead 
06/09/05

oldSpeak

 “I wrote these books,” said Bat Ye’or, “because I had witnessed the destruction, in a few short years, of a vibrant Jewish community living in Egypt for over 2,600 years and which had existed from the time of Jeremiah the Prophet. I saw the disintegration and flight of families, dispossessed and humiliated, the destruction of their synagogues, the bombing of the Jewish quarters and the terrorizing of a peaceful population. I have personally experienced the hardships of exile, the misery of statelessness−and I wanted to get to the root cause of all this. I wanted to understand why the Jews from Arab countries, nearly a million, had shared my experience.” 

Bat Ye’or’s wide historical research details the inferior condition accorded to Jews and Christian “dhimmis” (non-Muslim subjugated people) in Muslim lands, where they have survived through hardships and persecution ever since the rise of Islam in the 7th century. She pioneered the study of “dhimmitude” and the history and conditions of life of non-Muslims in their own lands, conquered by jihad and Islamized. According to Ye’or, “The conditions of Jews varied, but in general it was one of insecurity, humiliation and degradation for over 1,300 years, particularly in their own country, the Land of Israel.”

In 1997, Ye’or testified at a U.S. Congressional Hearing and the Human Rights Caucus on the subject “Past is Prologue: The Challenge of Islamism Today−An Historical Overview of the Persecution of Christians Under Islam.” “I discovered in my research that the Christian condition under Islam is similar and remarkably parallel to that of the Jews,” said Ye’or. “A historical tragedy has been going on for both religious groups. I realized that the fight for freedom from jihad and dhimmitude concerns us all, especially now in the 21st century. My research demonstrates that this is a very old problem, and it must be confronted now.”

“I believe that we are living in a very crucial period, in which much of Western Civilization is at stake,” said Ye’or. “People do not fully comprehend the emergence of this new danger: the jihadist geostrategy of terror. Rather they analyze this new situation in the framework of the last conflict, the Cold War, and that is a dire mistake.”Bat Ye’or has written three books on the jihad, Islam and dhimmitude. Her latest book is Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2005). In it, she details the cooperation and collaboration between European countries and Arab League countries in every area, from foreign policy, economy, culture, media and immigration. She examines the economic, political and ideological factors that are leading a whole continent to choose dhimmitude and gradually abandon its culture and freedom. This choice and the increase of Muslim immigration, as well as the pressure of Islamic terrorism, Ye’or argues, have concurred to widen the rift between America and a sinking Europe. Eurabia is Europe’s future, Ye’or believes, and it is the agent of the extension of dhimmitude worldwide.

Bat Ye’or was born in Cairo. In 1955, her Egyptian nationality was revoked because she was Jewish. She found asylum in 1957 with her parents in London as a stateless refugee, acquiring British citizenship in 1959 after her marriage. In 1958, Ye’or attended the Institute of Archeology at London University and moved to Switzerland in 1960 with her husband, where she continued her studies at the University of Geneva until the birth of three children. She has worked alone in a groundbreaking field of historical research and on numerous publications for the past 35 years.

oldSpeak recently sat down with Bat Ye’or to discuss the ideas in her new book.

John Whitehead: In your book, you discuss at length the meaning of jihad, which is central to Islamic history and civilization. Few Americans understand what it means for them, their country and people around the world. Can you explain the significance of jihad and the danger it poses?

Bat Ye’or: Jihad represents both a doctrine and a jurisdiction elaborated from three sources: the Koran, the Hadiths (words and deeds attributed to the Prophet Muhammad) and the biographies of the Prophet. Treatises on jihad have been written down and explained by the four founders of Islamic jurisprudence in the 8th and 9th centuries. Since then, they have represented an important part of Islamic legislation as jihad regulates the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims according to Islamic law.

According to the jihadic doctrine, the world is divided into two parts: Muslims and Infidels, the latter living in the dar al-harb, the land of war, because their land must be Islamized by peaceful means, or by war if they resist. Before attacking the Infidels, Muslims must first call them to convert; if they refuse, they are asked to pay a ransom; if they refuse again, Muslims have the duty to wage war on them. Truce is accepted on condition that the Infidels pay a regular ransom and put no obstacle to the spread of Islam in their own countries. There are other conditions also, like sending soldiers to fight for Islamic interests. A truce should not last more than 10 years, and it is allowed only when the Muslim ruler is weak. Otherwise, war against the Infidels is mandatory.

The treatises on jihad establish with a meticulous precision the tactics and means to conduct war, the type of truces allowed and the treatment of prisoners of war: male, female and children, the division of the booty, the characters of the land of the Infidels that has become Islamized, the rules to govern the submitted Infidels and so on.

JW: When did Islam originate?

BY: Islam was born in Arabia in the 7th century. It has conquered countries from Portugal to India, from Hungary to Sudan, in the course of a millennium of jihad. It has expanded on three continents: Africa, Europe and Asia. Jihad, therefore, is central to the development of the Islamic empires, their power, their culture and their civilization. Today, some progressive Muslims reject the jihad doctrine, but they are isolated voices.

JW: The title of your book, Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis, implies a fusion of European and Arab interests. Your argument, however, seems to be that there is not so much an equal cooperation of these two interests but that the Islamic world is actually manipulating the Europeans. Is this explained by the Islamic policy of dhimmitude? What does this concept mean for Europe?

BY: First, I want to stress that European and Arab interests coincided on many plans. Otherwise, the European Community (EC), replaced in 1992-93 by the European Union (EU), would not have agreed on such cooperation. Those mutual concerns were the oil, Arab markets and European interests in Arab industrial developments, which created a Euro-Arab economic interdependency as was planned by European politicians and economists. On the political level, the Euro-Arab solidarity is essential to the economic collaboration between the two partners. This political solidarity refers to the anti-American and anti-Zionist militancy. Both represent strong and permanent trends in Europe, on the extreme right as well as in the Leftist movements where the Arafatian cult replaced that of Stalin. The rebirth of the powerful Nazi and communist parties machineries and ideals into Palestinianism−a jihadist anti-Western cult that subverts its values–is a European phenomenon. Europe itself wants to fulfill the Arab dream: to be a stronger power, rival and opposed to America. Both Europeans and Arabs share the desire for the fusion of the two shores of the Mediterranean and anti-Israeli policies based on Palestinianism, as well as anti-Americanism. 

JW: Anti-Americanism has been building in Europe since World War II. Shouldn’t this have been foreseen?

BY: What was not foreseen by the European genitors of Eurabia was the upsurge of Islamism that has framed this Euro-Arab relationship within the jihadic conception of the world. In this perspective, Europe is considered a “land of truce.” Therefore, it has duties, the main one being to provide funds and support to Arab policies–like the anti-war and anti-American movement, as well as the demonization of Israel. Obedience is imposed through terrorist threats and acts, as we saw in Madrid in March 2004.

As for the concept of dhimmitude, it represents a behavior dictated by fear (terrorism), pacifism when aggressed, rather than resistance, servility because of cowardice and vulnerability. The origin of this concept is to be found in the condition of the Infidel people who submit to the Islamic rule without fighting in order to avoid the onslaught of jihad. By their peaceful surrender to the Islamic army, they obtained the security for their life, belongings and religion, but they had to accept a condition of inferiority, spoliation and humiliation. As they were forbidden to possess weapons and give testimony against a Muslim, they were put in a position of vulnerability and humility.

For Europe in the 21st century, this situation represents a return to the 7th century. It illustrates the total incompetence and greed of the political class. On the other hand, the Euro-Arab fusion project was based on multiculturalism, the suppression of European nationalisms, third-worldism and the policy of dialogues instead of war. Europeans love to create theories: fascism, Nazism, communism. The latest one is Eurabia: a new continent with a Eurabian culture.

While Europe has adopted the Islamic perspective of history and international politics and opened its frontiers to millions of Muslim immigrants with their traditions, the EU has not obtained any improvement in the condition of Christians in the Arab and Muslim countries. Nor has it obtained similar naturalization and religious rights for eventually millions of European immigrants pouring in the Arab countries. It is true that these were never on the European agenda.

JW:You write: “Eurabia’s cultural preconceptions include the ‘new Judeophobia,’ as well as resurgent anti-Americanism.” You then go on to write: “I do not believe that Judeophobia and anti-Zionism are common among the majority of Europeans. These attitudes, instead, are imposed nolens volens on an often reluctant public by political, media, and religious elites.” Can you explain?

BY: Except for the racist pathological type of person, Europeans in general are not anti-Semitic. However, over the last 30 years, Europeans have lived in a culture of hate and lies directed against Israel, which are expressed in the media from morning to night. It is a continual indoctrination of hate, not much different in its deliberate policy and planning from the 1920-40 period. You have to distinguish between a planned policy decided by top politicians and the people who are targeted and whose thoughts and behavior are conditioned according to the politicians’ wishes and the manipulations of the media. Until now, the poison spread by the top political level through its cogs, agencies and the media has not totally perverted the majority of people.

JW: If it is merely the European elite that is imposing a Judeophobic attitude on the public, then how do you account for the growing anti-Semitism in Europe? For example, in your book, you write: “The year 2001 saw a six-fold increase in acts of violence in Europe against Jewish people and property. More than 70% of the violent racist acts reported to police, as well as other racist deeds such as threats, insults, and graffiti, were against Jews.”

BY: These aggressions were generally attributed in the reports to neo-Nazis, Arab immigrants and the Left and extreme Left pro-Palestinian groups. This source is the reason why anti-Semitism was first denied and the report on anti-Semitism later was hidden by the European Commission, which promotes Palestinianism. The report was only made public on the repeated demands of influential American politicians. Its conclusions conform exactly to the pro-Palestinian anti-Israeli propaganda conducted within the EC/EU. In fact, the anti-Semitic peak that started in 2000 was integrated into the European Commission policy intended to show Europe’s solidarity with Arafat’s terrorist intifada. This is why the guilt of the aggressors acting in Europe against European Jews was transferred onto Israel, as if Europe has renounced to apply its own laws punishing crimes on its own soil against its own criminals if the victims were Jews. The intention of this hate campaign was to terrorize European Jews, to force them to adhere to the European-Arafat policy of terror. 

JW: How was this hate campaign conducted?

BY: The aggressors were encouraged by a media campaign in the Eurabian press of the whole EU, with incitements and caricatures similar to the Nazi period and by unfounded accusations of prominent politicians. Many Christians tried to oppose those slanders, but the censorship on any favorable view of Israel silenced them. We see now the same policy in Britain’s main university teachers’ union to agree to a Palestinian request to boycott two Israeli universities. The  British Association of University Teachers (AUT) General Secretary Sally Hunt, announcing the boycott (April 22, 2005), said members are asked to avoid all academic or cultural cooperation with Haifa University and Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv. We see here how Palestinianism is a revival of Nazism. The aim of Euro-Palestinianism is to criminalize the birth of the State of Israel in order to create an Israeli guilt toward the Arabs, similar to the European guilt for the Holocaust, while in fact Israel represents the liberation of the Jewish people from the yoke of the jihad-dhimmitude rules imposed over all the Islamic empire, including the Land of Israel. This Eurabian policy endorses the legitimacy of jihadism, including against Christians.

JW: You indicate that there is such a negative attitude by the European elite against Israel that their position is to actually do away with the state of Israel. Is this even possible?

BY: Absolutely. The Euro-Arab policy attributes to Israel the causes of Islamic terrorism and of all the world’s problems. I reproduce in my book several quotations. It is assumed that the disappearance of Israel would bring peace to the world and Muslim-Christian reconciliation, which is clearly the continuation of the Nazi mentality. The EC, which has continually supported Arafat and the PLO, cannot recognize Islamic terrorism or the terrorism of Arab dictators like Assad of Syria and Saddam Hussein, with whom it had a privileged relationship. The recognition that Islamic terrorism threatens Europe would be tantamount to assessing the failure of the policy of collusion and close association conducted since 30 years ago with Arab dictators. Hence–it is said–Israel must be the cause of terrorism. This allows the obfuscation of the jihad and dhimmitude doctrine conducted against the Christians in Muslim countries. The “old Europe” boasted privileged relations with the Arab and Muslim countries and pretends that Arab-Muslim populations hate only Israel and America because of their own evilness.   

JW:At times, it must seem that Israel is surrounded. Not only is Eurabia seeking to undermine the Jews, but the Christians are as well. For example, the World Council of Churches, among other Christian organizations, is calling for divestment and boycotts against Israel.

BY: There are several reasons for the demonization of Israel. Many churches have not accepted Israel’s existence and promote the “Palestinian cause” as a device to suppress Israel. In fact, an Arab Palestinian state has existed since 1922. It was Transjordan, established by the British on 78% of the League of Nations Mandate area of Palestine. Jews were forbidden to settle there and to own land. This law still exists in Jordan’s legislation. Clergymen hope to appease Muslim anti-Christian resentments by building a Muslim-Christian alliance in a common war against Israel. They also hope–alas, without success–that Christian anti-Israeli militancy will protect the Christians living in the Arab countries from Muslim violence. They also know that the Christians will emigrate from a Palestinian state governed by shari’a and that this Palestinian state, for which six million Jews were exterminated in an anti-Semitic/anti-Zionist Europe, will be the graveyard of Palestinian Christianity. Hence, they desperately want a big Palestine–a second one after Jordan–which will include the Jews as another non-Muslim group. The result will be a continued Muslim-dhimmi Christian coalition against the Jews, supported by Eurabia, and a second Holocaust perpetrated by Euro-Palestinianism, in continuation of the Fascist and Nazi Palestinian alliance of the 1920-40s.

JW: You’re accusing churches of collusion with the Muslims?

BY: Yes. Those churches know perfectly well the dire condition of Christians in Muslim lands. But instead of denouncing it, they adopt the militancy of the Janissaries, those Christian slave militias that were the spearhead of the Islamic war against Christianity. They forbid Christians to reveal the iniquities of modern dhimmitude in Arab countries, the enslavement of Christians in Sudan, the abductions and jihadic terror against innocent population. Those churches follow an arcionist theological line which separates the Gospels from the Hebrew Bible. They reject the historical legitimacy of Israel in its own land and, therefore, reject also the Bible, which they read with a Koranic understanding. They are more inclined to follow the Koranic Muslim Jesus, called Isa, than the Jewish Jesus. In my book, I call them the Islamized churches because their rejection of Israel’s history implies their refusal of the Bible and their acceptance of the Koranic version of the Bible that considers Christianity as a deformation of Islam.

Palestinianism also rejects the Bible and instead teaches its Koranic version by which all the biblical figures from Adam and Abraham, including Jesus, his family and apostles, were Muslim prophets who preached Islam. It is this view that negates Israel’s historical legitimacy. But we see that Christianity’s foundations thereby are also destroyed. It is precisely the accusation that Jews and Christians have falsified the Islamic truth in their Bible that condemned them to dhimmitude. We see, therefore, that Palestinianism first directed against Israel is a deadly weapon against Christianity.    

JW:There are many who argue that much of the anti-Americanism (and possibly some anti-Israel attitudes) is the result of the image that President George W. Bush portrays to Europe and the world–that is, an arrogant, swaggering warmonger. Do you believe this perception is true? Do the policies of the Bush Administration actually aid and abet such negative attitudes?

BY: Anti-Americanism is a European sub-culture. It has imbibed the powerful Communist and Leftist European parties for decades, as well as the fascist and Nazi movements of the 20th century. These parties with their influential politicians, intellectuals and activists have built strong ties with the Arab and Muslim countries since the 1980 Amman Arab Summit called for a strong cooperation between the Socialist and Arab states.

Animosity against America increased with the European rejection of its spiritual Judeo-Christian roots, replaced by Palestinianism, a subculture promoting jihad against Israel and hate against the West. At the level of the European Union policy, anti-Americanism is the cornerstone of the Euro-Arab Dialogue policy of solidarity and alliances; moreover, Europe’s extreme vulnerability to Islamic terrorism and its subservience to compromising lead to anti-Americanism.

The U.S and Europe chose two opposite paths: America clearly and unambiguously denounced jihadic and Islamic terrorism and proclaimed itself at war against terrorism. The EU instead accused Israel in order to deny them, pretended that terrorism didn’t exist and increased the visibility of its solidarity with the Palestinians and its Arab allies. Hence, we see that anti-Americanism has less to do with George Bush than with Europe’s own evolution and system of alliances with jihadic terrorist dictatorships. 

  

JW: You reference the fact that the Islamic mosques in Europe teach the principle of jihad, which is, of course, directly opposed to the western concept of democracy. There is also a growing Islamic population in the United States and an increasing number of mosques being built throughout the country. There are some conservatives who argue that many of these mosques should be closed. Do you believe this should be done in Europe?

BY: Not all mosques teach jihad. In fact, many are opposed to it. And I do not see how with a European population from 25 to 30 million Muslims, mosques could be closed. This is contrary to the principles of human rights. Once immigrants are accepted, it is a moral duty, as well as a law, to accept their right to religious freedom. In fact, I have no solution to offer for the prevention of the culture of dhimmitude, denial and hate and for the subversion of truth and values that is invading Europe. This is because it is encouraged by our own leaders, intellectuals and media. This is the model society that they praise. Many brilliant minds fought against it with no avail. This is Eurabia.

JW:You indicate in your book that the so-called Palestinian state is really a fiction. Please explain.

BY: The Palestinian state has existed since 1922 on 78% of Palestine. This is Jordan, whose population belongs to the same Arab stock that began to be called Palestinian from the 1970s, the name that was attributed to Judea in 135 by a Roman Emperor, Hadrian. There were no Arabs then, or Muslims. The Arab invaders arrived in the 7th century, devastated the country, massacred and enslaved the population and expropriated the Jewish and Christian indigenous populations, as is related by contemporaneous sources. The land became dar al-Islam (land of Islam) through the jihadic and dhimmitude regulations. The Palestinian Arabs share with the Jordanians the same tribal culture, the same language, the same religion and the same history. There are no differences among them. The Kurds, the Berbers, the Basques (Spain) and the Corsicans (France) have nationalist characteristics, but not the Palestinians. The Palestinian cause was created mainly in Europe, with the purpose to transfer onto the Palestinians the Jewish history in order to delegitimize Israel and to absolve Europe from the Holocaust by throwing onto Israel its own European history of Nazism, apartheid and colonialism.

JW: Is there a solution to this?

BY: I favor the separation from Israel of the heavily Arab-populated regions–which is all the Jewish lands whose population has been massacred or expelled and expropriated under the jihad-dhimmitude system throughout the centuries and more recently in the 1947-48 Arab war. I would like to see these regions united with Jordan as a Palestinian federation. The U.N. Security Council resolution 242 calls for negotiations over the territories of Judea and Samaria, confiscated by Jordan in 1948 and lost in 1967. They are not designated as Arab or Palestinian territories. It is France that has imposed over the European Community the Arab interpretation of 242, which condemns Israel to what has been called “the Auschwitz borders.”

JW:There are many human rights advocates who are greatly concerned that Israel is violating the rights of Palestinian settlers. How do you respond to the allegations of human rights abuses against the Palestinians?

BY: This unfortunate situation where Israeli rights are also violated results from the jihadic and terrorist war to eliminate Israel. Had the Arab countries accepted Israel from the beginning, like King Abdullah of Transjordan wanted in 1948, human tragedies could have been avoided. Nearly a million Jews were forced to flee from the Arab countries, suffering pogroms, rapes and the confiscation of all their belongings, lands and properties. No international organization came to their help or paid them anything. The war to destroy Israel, conducted by the Palestinians in order to restore dhimmitude, feeds a jihadic violence which is supported and funded by all the Arab and Muslim countries.

It is strange how many “human rights advocates” are impervious to the violation of the human rights of Israelis, of Christian and animist slaves and of Christian dhimmis. On April 18, 2005, three nongovernmental organizations (NGO) established at the Palais des Nations (Geneva) a one-day conference on “Victims of Jihad: Muslims, Dhimmis, Apostates, Women” parallel to the 61st Commission on Human Rights. These organizations were the International Humanist and the Ethical Union, the Association for World Education and the Association of World Citizens, none with connections to Jews or Israelis. There were 12 lecturers and four moderators. Of this total of 16, only two lecturers were Jewish. All the others−that is, 14 participants−were Muslims or former Muslims and Christians. The most moving testimony at the conference came from a former Sudanese Christian slave who described the terrible ordeal of jihad enslavement. Apostate Muslims spoke of the threat to their lives, while Christians: Copt and Assyrian, testified to the harsh realities of dhimmitude. Muslim and Christian women spoke on the discriminations against Muslim women.

At the end of the session,  the veteran anti-Zionist campaigner Tom Getman, speaking for what he described as the “Interfaith” organization World Vision International, attacked the legitimacy of  the conference, suggesting that Christians, Jews and humanists should focus on human rights violations committed by fundamentalists within their own communities and not highlight violations committed by Muslim jihadists. This later task, he implied, should be left to Muslims to deal with−or not deal with−as they see fit. He claimed that human rights violations he witnessed in the Middle East were by the “settlers”–i.e., West Bank Jews stoning and killing others–i.e., Palestinian Muslims. The next day, the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad published an article about the Victims of Jihad Conference, citing unnamed “diplomatica” and “NGO” sources. The Dutch journalist presented the whole event as a Zionist plot and slandered the two Jewish speakers; I was one of them. The article was full of errors and calumnies and suggested that the two Jewish speakers manipulated one of the speakers, the Somali-born Dutch M.P. The truth is that the finest and exemplary courageous idealists and fighters for human rights were represented at this conference: Ibn Warrak, Azam Kamguian, Achol Cyier, the former Sudanese slave Simon Deng, Dr. John Eibner and Rev. Hans Stückelberger−both from Christian Solidarity International, Roy Brown, president of the International and Ethical Union and David Littman of the AWE. I felt honored and privileged to have been with them.

Echoing the sentiments of the World Vision representative, not a word was said in the Handlesblattarticle about the poignant suffering of the Christian and Muslim victims of jihad and religious intolerance. The call for help from the former Christian slave and the Christian dhimmis, to the Christian world, was silenced and distorted as a Zionist plot. This is how Palestinianism and the related phenomenon of Eurabianism prevent help coming to Christian victims of jihad. One Eurabian diplomat from Denmark declared that he believed every word of the slanderous Handelsblatt article. The rest of the Eurabian media largely snubbed the event.        

      

JW: You quote Roman Catholic Cardinal Roberto Tucci in an address he gave on Radio Vatican, in which he said, “Anti-Semitism that is rife in the Islamic world today is comparable to the anti-Semitism of the Nazi era.” Do you really believe that the European Union could revert to the medieval horrors we saw in Nazi Germany?

BY: Yes. Those horrors were not limited to Nazi Germany only but were perpetrated in the whole of Europe, with some remarkable exceptions with the Finn, Hungarian and Rumanian governments and the neutral countries. France had many deportation camps on its own territory and collaborated with the Nazis, as did Poland, Austria and the rest of occupied Europe. Hitler had numerous admirers and supporters in the whole of Europe.

As for today, the anti-Semitic/anti-Zionist Eurabian cynicism is reminiscent of the 1940s. After the numerous conferences on anti-Semitism in 2003-04, the governments–particularly in France–issued important declarations and the media stopped its paranoidattacksagainst Israel. But probably it is just a lull.

JW: You paint a very negative picture for the future of Europe, which, of course, affects the United States and the rest of the world. Do you see any hope for democracy and freedom as it faces what you argue is the onslaught of Islam and jihad?

BY: I distinguish between Islam and the ideology of jihad. These are two different domains. Europe rejects its Judeo-Christian tradition and wants to recreate the Andalusian paradise or the Ottoman Empire, which were both governed by shari’a. As for jihad, Europe refuses to acknowledge it because it does not fit its system of alliances and opponents. What escapes usually the observer is that Europe is not a victim. Europe has deliberately and willingly chosen a policy which it conducts systematically, whatever happens. In fact, it is so proud of it that it pressures America constantly to adopt it in the name of peace. I call it the peace of dhimmitude. But since this history is denied, no one knows what it means.

So Broke We Can't Pay Attention

You spent the whole day yesterday worrying about today, and now that it's here, was it worth it?

Howard Beale

Activist Post

It's a scary feeling not being able to pay your bills.  It can be so stressful that it consumes the entirety of our thoughts and emotions.  We may fight with our spouses, or prematurely snap at our children over meaningless nonsense because we are constantly on edge over finances.  

Day after day, week after week, month after month we live stressed to the max.  If we're able to break our funk trance for a moment and look back, we just may realize that all of the agonizing was not worth it as, somehow, we made it to today in one piece.

An excellent article this week on the Economic Collapse Blog decisively proved that is impossible for a family of four to survive in America on a middle-class income of $50,000 per year.  Since more than half of the U.S. population makes less than that amount, and another 35% of American families make less than $100,000 per year; we can only assume that the overwhelming majority of the population lives with chronic financial-stress syndrome -- which Big Pharma will happily treat for us.

This 85% of the population has little time or energy to think of much else.  In other words, we're so broke we can't pay attention to the world around us -- which is what the system was designed to do. The system keeps us running on the rat wheel, terrified it will stop, or that our employers will kick us off. 

We become so primal about defending our position, our sustenance, that we ignore our basic humanity. Who has time to think about such things like other people's problems?  The system turns us against our neighbors in an ultra-competitive dog-eat-dog economy.  And if that doesn't work they'll use religion, race, or politics to divide us.  Scratch that; they use it all, all the time. 

The public is kept in a constant state of dense negative energy, where we inevitably contaminate those around us with bad vibes, who then pass them on to their peers and so on.

Sooner or later we live in dense, negative, selfish society.  This denseness has even affected the crowd that can afford to pay attention, because they are aware of the sinister methods being used to keep humanity within our shrinking prison walls.  Thankfully for us, this prison of stress and manufactured division is an illusory distraction that we can ultimately free ourselves from.

Sure, we all have very real concerns about paying bills and putting food on the table.  However, we must fully appreciate that we are alive and well today, just as we were three months ago when we were stressed out of our minds.    

We lived the last three months in constant discomfort, distracted from reality and, despite all that, we survived.  Would it not have been better to spend those three months with a positive attitude, or at least a level of comfort knowing that we'll be fine no matter what the system throws at us?  

Perhaps with this slight adjustment in attitude, we might find that we do have time to pay attention and be more productive in ways that go beyond finances.  In fact, we may even attract abundance to ourselves if we understand (not just believe) that positive thoughts and energy will attract the same to us.  

Surely it must be better than the alternative, which is letting the system manufacture our emotions for us.  Especially when the goal of such system engineering is to keep us in a perpetual state of non-thinking denseness that limits our potential to that of a rat in a seemingly inescapable maze. 

Our individual potential is only limited to what we allow ourselves to imagine.  In a world of decreasing personal freedoms, we each have the power to bust out of the cage of denseness into real liberty -- liberty of the mind.

So today, let's each take some time to concentrate on positive things like love, laughter, and joy -- if even for a few quiet minutes. Let a genuine smile overtake you.  Beam those feelings of love and joy to the people around you.  If you think it's hokey, just do it as a calculated experiment to see how it affects your day.  Finally, we must believe, know, and fully accept that we will be okay no matter what perceived chaos surrounds us.

Faith in America non-profit confronts religion-based bigotry

The billboards sponsored by Faith in America.

by A. LATHAM STAPLES - SDGLN CONTRIBUTOR

At the first CNN/YouTube Presidential Primary Debate in Charleston, S.C., in 2007, the Rev. Reggie Longcrier, Faith in America supporter and pastor of Exodus Mission and Outreach Church in Hickory, N.C., asked then Democratic candidate John Edwards “Why is it still acceptable to use religion to deny gay Americans their full and equal rights?”

The question, following Edward’s statement of opposition to same-sex marriage in relation to his Southern Baptist background, drew the loudest applause of any question, according to audience members at the debate.

Mitchell Gold, who in 2005 founded Faith in America, a non-profit organization with the goal of counter-messaging prejudices toward the LGBT population by religious institutions, contends that “political and religious leaders have long sold discrimination under the guise of religious beliefs and religious teachings, and that religion-based bigotry is the number one impediment to full equality for lesbians and gays.”

Faith in America came about after Gold moved from New York to a very rural and socially conservative community in North Carolina in the late 1980s to form a large furniture company with over 700 employees.

“I soon realized that so many of the employees were good, decent, hardworking Americans, yet many of them harbored deeply rooted hostility toward homosexuals, with the moral and religious stamp of approval,” Gold said.

The widespread oppression that he observed in the lives of gay youths especially hit Gold hard and served as the catalyst to begin plans to combat discrimination by religious institutions.

With the help of Jimmy Creech, former chairman of the board of directors of Soulforce and a former Methodist minister who in 1999 was stripped of his ministerial orders by the Methodist Church after having blessed a gay union, and Brent Childers, a conservative evangelical Christian, Faith in America was formed to educate the public about religion-based bigotry’s harm to the LGBT community.

Childers, a former journalist and current Faith in America executive director, admits that he once “garnered hostility towards gays" and he had once been "a voice for the religious right.”

“I had publicly derided gays and lesbians under the banner of Christianity. Soon though, I realized the hostility wasn’t at the center of my Christian beliefs, it was being instilled in me by the church itself,” Childers said. “For centuries various leaders have used the Bible to preach slavery and segregation, to promote sexism, and to decry interracial marriage.

“The Bible has a divine place for the spiritual life of a person, but you can’t get past the fact that it was written by individuals and has gone through various translations and interpretations,” Childers said. “The teachings in it are a wonderful example of how one should lead their life but shouldn’t be taken literally.”

In 2006 Faith in America gained national attention after the organization disseminated a series of educational campaigns that stirred controversy in a number of communities across the nation. The newspaper ads, radio spots and billboards featured the image of Jesus Christ along with Biblical passages such as "Jesus affirmed a gay couple (Matthew 8:5-13)," "Jesus said some are born gay (Matthew 19:10-12)" and "The early church welcomed a gay man (Acts 8:26-40)."

According to Childers, polling in each community where the ads ran showed an increase in acceptance levels of the LGBT population in comparison to polling completed prior to the running of the ads.

In 2008 the organization published the book “CRISIS: 40 Stories Revealing the Personal, Social and Religious Pain and Trauma of Growing Up Gay In America.” The book, a collective of short stories from LGBT individuals, parents, straight allies and ministers, illuminates the psychological and emotional harm religion-based discrimination has caused.

Childers said that "the book includes people like Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, telling stories, talking about the pain and trauma they experienced during their youth. It doesn’t just come from the perspective of the individuals, but reinforcements from clergy and others.”

Faith in America, which has focused on a community by community approach, is currently undergoing an expansion phase as it seeks to impact a larger segment of the country.

"Our youth initiative will launch in the coming weeks to ensure that LGBT youth are provided with the best information to combat religion-based prejudice," Childers said. “I feel it is one of the most important initiatives we’ve undertaken to date.”

And in early 2011, Faith in America will launch a yet to be announced campaign in California. Leaders of the organization have already been in Southern California networking with various religious leaders and like-minded organizations in advance of the campaign.

Gold said that Faith in America is “ready to take a giant step forward, but we need the help of the LGBT community in order to do so.”
