Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow

This post's title is that of an article written by Susan Matthiesen, my friend and colleague in the Catholic Media Coalition.  She gives an historical perspective on the persecution of Middle East Christians during the past century.  The push to allow Syrian refugees, spearheaded by the Messiah Most Miserable, is a continuation of the persecution of these Christians as well as the proverbial embrace of the rattlesnake, as only muslims are allowed in while Christians are deliberately excluded.

Without further ado, the article.

As Western intelligentsia and media elites continue to focus upon the fake and inflated refugee crisis among Palestinians, the world’s real refugee crisis, now described as the worst since World War II, is that of Syrian Christians and Yazidis persecuted by ISIS and migrating to Europe by the hundreds of thousands. The cause of this catastrophe is not difficult to grasp unless we rely on the mainstream media, not only today, but also yesterday; that is, the yesterday of 100 years ago.

In the 1930s Hitler took advantage of the silence of the media when planning the extermination of the Jews. He was not troubled about anger or retaliation because of his wicked strategies since he was aware of the world’s muteness on the matter of Turkey’s 1915 slaughter and genocide of Armenian Christians. He said, “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?” Since no one did, Hitler well knew he could annihilate the Jews without arousing the world’s wrath.

April 24, 2015, marked the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the 1915 genocide of the Armenian people by the Turkish government, or more succinctly, the genocide of Armenian Christians by the jihadist government of the Islamic Young Turks. Such evil as was done to Armenian Christians at the hands of Islamic hatred has rarely been seen in the history of mankind, but then, since its beginning, Islam has been defined by its vicious inhumanity of bestial force against civilized societies.

The Young Turks promoted the idea of Ottomanization, that is, creating a homogeneous Turkey of one race, one language, and one religion – Islam. By 1914, with the new slogan, “Turkey for the Turks,” the Young Turks began ordering the confiscation of Christian property, then the wholesale slaughter and exile of Turkey’s Christian population began. Between 1915 -1917 mass arrests, heinous torture and murder of Christians took place all over Macedonia. The prominent of the towns and villages were first to be arrested and exiled to the interior, or killed outright.

One can receive a sound education on the Armenian Genocide by going to YouTube’s various videos and documentaries on the subject, one of which is 90 minutes long. Photographs prove the horror of the truth. The cruelty and wickedness seen in pictures while ignored by the Western media is shocking – Christian clergy, professors, doctors and lawyers from Istanbul made to march through the streets with their feet nailed to iron horseshoes, 16 Armenian Christian girls crucified by the Turks. “Each girl had been nailed alive upon her cross, spikes through her feet and hands, only their hair blown by the wind, covered their bodies.” They had refused to convert to Islam, so were raped and crucified. The 1915 photos of the crucified girls can be seen on Google Images.

Since the slaughter and annihilation of the Armenians was successful, the Turks next exterminated Pontic Greek Christians, erasing their long history from the face of the earth down to dismantling their churches, homes and villages and letting the Christians’ cultivated land and orchards go to waste. Nothing is left. No one tells that history better than Thea Halo in her book, Not Even My Name, the amazing story of her mother’s life as a Pontian Greek whose entire family was killed by the Islamist Turkish government. Thea’s mother, Sano Halo, born in 1909, recently died in 2014 at the age of 105. This book is recommended reading for anyone wanting to know the truth from an actual living witness uprooted from her home, and, as a child, watching everyone she loved slaughtered or dying of disease from starvation while being marched to the desert. Of those who made it to the desert, all that was left were their dried, sun-bleached bones lying in the sand.

Today’s current lack of concern that the United States government seems to have for persecuted Assyrian Christians in Iraq and Syria is likewise deplorable. Their 1915 killing by the Turkish Islamic government is identical to that of the Armenians and Pontian Greeks. Chicago attorney, Robert W. DeKelaita, tells the story of his grandfather’s escape from the killing grounds of the Assyrian Genocide. “(My grandfather) had to carefully step over the dead bodies of his relatives and friends as he made his escape from the Assyrian village of Mar Bishu in 1915. Turkish and Kurdish irregulars bombed or pillaged their village nestled in the mountains east of the Hakkari Mountains, killing everyone because they were Assyrian Christians.”

Along with 1.5 million Armenians and Greeks of Anatolia, the Ottomans extinguished 750,000 Assyrian lives and one million Greeks, Albanians, Serbs and Bulgarians. Men, women, and children were shot or hacked to pieces, their blood soaking the earth of their ancestors. Others were taken and tortured and murdered because they refused to convert to Islam. Women were raped to death, children beheaded, men castrated, disemboweled then slaughtered. Meanwhile our Muslim-friendly president, Barack Hussein Obama, is persecuting Assyrian Christian Robert DeKelaita for helping Assyrian Christians trying to escape evil at the hands of the demonically inspired religion of Islam.

Today a massive sea of humanity flows into Western Europe; however not all of them are persecuted Christians and Yazidis. Most are Muslims. In 1683 the Battle of Vienna, instigated by the Turks for entrance into Europe proper from Asia Minor through the Balkans, marked the historical end of the expansion of the Ottoman Empire into Europe. The Islamic army got as far as Vienna where they were stopped by Jan Sobieski (a Pole) and his small army. Three hundred years later, today’s descendants of those same Europeans of yesterday are allowing Muslims into Europe thereby negating everything for which their forefathers died.

Blogger Andrew Biezad (www.onepeterfive.com) says about today’s situation, “While American and Western European governments are saying this is a ‘refugee crisis’ and the news media, like good propagandists, run images of a few poor women and children, they neglect to show the rest of the situation. Not displayed is the mass of overwhelmingly young, healthy, well-dressed males, carrying the latest smart phones yelling Allahu Akbar. These men have come to rampage, riot and destroy in the name of Islam. This is not normal migration, this is an Islamic hijra.

“The idea of the hijra pertains to the movement of a group of Muslims from a predominantly Muslim area to a predominately non-Muslim area with the goal of establishing Islam’s dominance in it. The first hijra conquered Jerusalem in 638. The second hijra conquered Constantinople (now Istanbul) in 1453. According to certain voices in the Islamic world, the third and final hijra will be Rome and the Catholic Church which is the main obstacle impeding Islam’s domination of all humanity. Therefore, tomorrow, the Christian faithful must not only be converted to Islam, but their sacred spaces must be taken from them and given to the Dar al-Islam – the House of Islam.” As for America’s future, President Clinton’s former Islamic advisor and convicted Al Qaeda financier Abdurahman Alamoudi said, “This country (America) will become a Muslim country.”

Because of the media’s and Islam’s shared hatred of our Judeo-Christian God, the media turns attention away from today’s Christian Genocide, thereby manifesting its silence on the issue. As it concentrates on Bruce Jenner’s new transgendered facade with his carefully chosen lipstick color highlighting his high feminine cheekbones, Kim Kardashian West’s “lacy look over her baby bump,” and covering up Hillary Clinton’s wiping her server clean – “What? With a cloth or something?” – today’s current genocide of Christians in the Middle East prophesies tomorrow’s genocide of the rest of us, wiping us clean off the face of the earth with the cloth of Islam.

Yesterday’s history of Christian blood running in ancient city streets should have predicted today’s Middle East slaughter of Christians by Islamic hatred. Tomorrow’s future was predicted on August 9, 2014, by Archbishop Amel Nona, Chaldean Archbishop of Mosul, now exiled, when he said, “Our sufferings today are the prelude of those you, Europeans and Western Christians, will also suffer in the near future. Your liberal and democratic principles are worth nothing here. You must consider again our reality in the Middle East, because you are welcoming in your countries an ever growing number (millions) of Muslims. Also you are in danger. You must take strong and courageous decisions, even at the cost of your principles. You think all men are created equal, but that is not true: Islam does not say that all men are equal. Your values are not their values. If you do not understand this soon enough, (tomorrow) you will become the victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home.”


And as the song says, “Tomorrow is only a day away.”

News Flash! The Refugees ARE Being Vetted!

It's true.  The Obama cartel is vetting refugees seeking asylum in this country. It's just that his criteria for so doing falls way short of decency and common sense.

On Allen West's website we see the true demographics of the population that the Messiah Most Miserable wishes to inflict upon us.  Of all those poor Syrian refugees, only 52% are actually from Syria.  Fancy that!  62% of them are males of military age: very few children.  What's up with that?  Will a goodly portion of them hightail it to areas targeted by ISIS, just like the fellow who eluded the Louisiana Catholic Charities and scurried up to Washington DC?  It was also revealed that the mastermind behind the Paris attacks got into France by posing as a refugee!  Surprise!

Now there is vetting going on, to be sure.  Christians and other non-muslims from the middle east are being denied entry.  There is even a situation where a European Christian family who fled Germany to practice their faith will be deported!  Rather selective treatment, wouldn't you say?

Why cannot so many otherwise well-meaning Christians connect the obvious dots?

Fortnight For Freedom

The USCCB has called for a 14-day period of prayer and other activities for the intention of defense of our First Amendment rights.  A "fortnight" is defined as a 14-day period, and this period will be from June 21st to July 4th.  June 21 is the Feast of Sts John Fisher and Thomas More.  Both these men, one a bishop and the other a high-ranking statesman, were beheaded by King Henry VIII because they refused to compromise their consciences by affirming the King's divorce from his first wife and his subsequent establishment of the Anglican Church.  Thus the beginning and the end days are quite appropriate.

As you visit the above site, Maryland and DC residents will note the two Masses.  Other events might already be posted that are local to you.  Please check back often.

Niggers Of The New Age

In several posts written approximately 18 months ago, I remarked that those who are treating faithful Catholics and others who hold traditional and sound moral principals are doing so with greater ferocity and arrogance.  I pointed out that they are trying to relegate us to the status of what I call "niggers of the new age".

At that time, some friends tried to chide me, saying that my language was "extreme, incendiary, etc".  I stood by my language - and still do all the more.

To my friends who thought I was extreme, I suggest that you ponder carefully what the current administration is trying to do to us.  This HHS mandate is just the latest; in a week or two further insults will be visited upon us.  Do you still think my term "niggers of the new age" is out-of-line?  Please open your eyes and cease being afraid to call a spade a spade.

Catholic Standard's Attempt At "Guilting" Us

In today's Catholic Standard (page 4 of the print edition) we read "Anti-Muslim Sentiment: Catholics Say It Reminds Them of Own Experience".  I linked to the online version as it appears in Catholic News Service because it does not appear on the Catholic Standard's page (at least I couldn't locate it).  I've a number of problems with this article.

First we hear of testimony from such "stellar" Catholics like Richard Durbin and Patrick Leahy.  Both these men have spent their political careers advancing positions in direct opposition to the Catholic faith: legalized baby-murder, promotion of gay lifestyles, perversion of marriage.  Whatever "experience" they're relating, it isn't authentically Catholic.
There is in this article much ballyhoo about "persecution" and "violence", but no specific examples are given.  Are the details being kept nebulous for a reason - such as "they don't exist to a relevant degree"?  However there is just the slightest hint of an agenda from Thomas Perez, when he alleged "instances of religious intolerance in the workplace, harassment of school students, threats of violence, disputes over Mosques and other actions of bigotry in the past decade."     

BINGO!!

Is this an attempt to get good people to simply shut up about the Ground Zero Mosque?  Much has been written about the folly of that proposed mosque.  I needn't rehash that here.

Let's be honest about something else.  There is no doubt that Muslims, just like anyone else, deserve the respect and dignity due to any human being, simply because they are created in the image and likeness of God, who wants their salvation as much as anyone else's.  However, while all people  are created equal in God's eyes, the same cannot be said for religions and other subordinate ideologies.  Some are clearly dangerous - as is Islam.  It is the willfully (and thus sinfully) naive that insists that all faiths are equal.  That's called indifferentism, folks.  That's a heresy.  On the right sidebar are links detailing the dangers of Islam; some of those are created by former Muslims (at great risk to their own lives, I might add).

Yesterday I posted  Ann Barnhardt's video.  Please watch it.  Notice that as she tears out a page, she quotes from that page Islamic passages that justify rape, pedophilia, beheadings and other manners of violence.  Actually, "justify" isn't the right verb; what would be more accurate is "command".  Some might take umbrage to her tactic; this is probably a matter about which good people - even good Catholics - can disagree.  For an interesting treatise on the matter, read this blog article.
