COLUMBUS, Ohio —The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio (ACLU), two
local branches of Planned Parenthood and several other abortion facilities have
filed a lawsuit to challenge a new Ohio law that prohibits mothers from killing
their unborn child simply because he or she has been diagnosed with Down
syndrome.
“Plaintiffs challenge H.B. 214 because it undermines their mission to
honor and support the decisions their patients make, whether it is to
continue or to end a pregnancy,” the suit asserts.
The legal challenge suggests that the “right decision”—life or death—is different for each mother.
“For many families, the right decision is to continue the pregnancy
and parent a child with Down syndrome; for some, it is to give birth and
place the child for adoption; and for others, it is abortion,” it
claims.
“In the case of patients who have received a positive test for fetal
Down syndrome, and who choose not to continue the pregnancy, H.B. 214
prevents Plaintiffs from providing nonjudgmental, medically appropriate
care. H.B. 214 wrests from those patients and their families the ability
to decide what is right for them.”
Gov. John Kasich signed the bill in December, two days after the
measure passed in the Senate. It is set to become law on March 23. The
ACLU and the abortion facilities it represents are seeking an
injunction against the legislation, which carries penalties including
the revocation of the abortionists’ medical license.
“Being forced to continue a pregnancy against her will can pose a
risk to a woman’s physical, mental, and emotional health, and even her
life, as well as to the stability and wellbeing of her family, including
her existing children,” the groups claim in the complaint.
“Plaintiffs wish to continue providing safe and nonjudgmental
abortion care to patients who have knowingly and voluntarily decided to
terminate their pregnancies, regardless of the particular reason for the
decision,” it states. Read the lawsuit in full here.
WarrenAs previously reported,
the baby food company Gerber just announced this month that it had
chosen Lucas Warren, a child with Down syndrome, to be its spokesbaby
for 2018.
“He may have Down syndrome, but he’s always Lucas first,” Lucas’
mother Cortney outlined to TODAY Parents. “He’s got an awesome
personality and he goes through the milestones of every child. … We’re
hoping when he grows up and looks back on this, he’ll be proud of
himself and not ashamed of his disability.”
“We’re hoping this will impact everyone—that it will shed a little
bit of light on the special needs community and help more individuals
with special needs be accepted and not limited,” her husband Jason also
remarked. “They have the potential to change the world, just like
everybody else.”
However, in December, as the vote on Ohio’s H.B. 214 went forward, a
number of abortion advocates assembled in a line so that their t-shirts
spelled out “stop the bans.” Pro-life groups said that Down syndrome
babies shouldn’t be killed just because of who they are.
“Every Ohioan deserves the right to life, no matter how many
chromosomes they have,” remarked Mike Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right
to Life.
Some pro-life Americans believe that laws should not solely apply to
children with disabilities, as they consequently allow the murder of
healthy children to legally continue.

‘Guns,’ ‘depression,’ ‘trouble’ cited – but key information not yet disclosed
Feb. 15th, 2018
by David Kupelian
Here we go again. A horrific mass shooting occurs. Everyone is in
shock and grief. Democrats blame guns and Republicans. Pundits urge the
public, “If you see something, say something.” And everyone asks, “Why?”
As information about the perpetrator emerges, a relative confides to a
newspaper that the “troubled youth” who committed the mass murder was
on psychiatric medications – you know, those powerful, little
understood, mind-altering drugs with fearsome side effects including
“suicidal ideation” and even “homicidal ideation.”
Yet the predictable response from the press is always the same – not
only a total lack of curiosity, but disdain for any who ask the
question, as though connecting psychiatric meds to mass shootings is
pursuing a “conspiracy theory.”
Here’s a good way to tell whether or not something is a conspiracy theory: If it’s true, it’s not a conspiracy theory.
In the case of Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old Florida mass-shooter, his mother’s sister, Barbara Kumbatovich, told the Miami Herald that she believed Cruz was on medication to deal with his emotional fragility.
This is strikingly similar to reports right after the 2013 school
massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, when Mark and Louise Tambascio, family
friends of shooter Adam Lanza and his mother, were interviewed on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” during which Louise Tambascio told correspondent Scott Pelley:
“I know he was on medication and everything, but she homeschooled him
at home cause he couldn’t deal with the school classes sometimes, so she
just homeschooled Adam at home. And that was her life.” And here,Tambascio tells ABC News, “I knew he was on medication, but that’s all I know.”
But there was little journalistic curiosity or follow-up, and one wonders whether that will be the case this time around.
But, you may well be asking, why is the issue of psychiatric medications even important?
Fact: A disturbing number of perpetrators of school shootings and
similar mass murders in our modern era were either on – or just recently
coming off of – psychiatric medications. A few of the most high-profile
examples, out of many others, include:
Columbine mass-killer Eric Harris was taking Luvox – like Prozac,
Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor and many others, a modern and widely prescribed
type of antidepressant drug called selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors, or SSRIs. Harris and fellow student Dylan Klebold went on a
hellish school shooting rampage in 1999 during which they killed 12
students and a teacher and wounded 24 others before turning their guns
on themselves. Luvox manufacturer Solvay Pharmaceuticals concedes that
during short-term controlled clinical trials, 4 percent of children and
youth taking Luvox – that’s one in 25 – developed mania,a dangerous and violence-prone mental derangement characterized by extreme excitement and delusion.
Patrick Purdy went on a schoolyard shooting rampage in Stockton,
California, in 1989, which became the catalyst for the original
legislative frenzy to ban “semiautomatic assault weapons” in California
and the nation. The 25-year-old Purdy, who murdered five children and
wounded 30, had been on Amitriptyline, an antidepressant, as well as the
antipsychotic drug Thorazine.
Kip Kinkel, 15, murdered his parents in 1998 and the next day went
to his school, Thurston High in Springfield, Oregon, and opened fire on
his classmates, killing two and wounding 22 others. He had been
prescribed both Prozac and Ritalin.
In 1988, 31-year-old Laurie Dann went on a shooting rampage in a
second-grade classroom in Winnetka, Illinois, killing one child and
wounding six. She had been taking the antidepressant Anafranil as well
as Lithium, long used to treat mania.
In Paducah, Kentucky, in late 1997, 14-year-old Michael Carneal, son
of a prominent attorney, traveled to Heath High School and started
shooting students in a prayer meeting taking place in the school’s
lobby, killing three and leaving another paralyzed. Carneal reportedly
was on Ritalin.
In 2005, 16-year-old Jeff Weise, living on Minnesota’s Red Lake
Indian Reservation, shot and killed nine people and wounded five others
before killing himself. Weise had been taking Prozac.
In another famous case, 47-year-old Joseph T. Wesbecker, just a
month after he began taking Prozac in 1989, shot 20 workers at Standard
Gravure Corp. in Louisville, Kentucky, killing nine. Prozac-maker Eli
Lilly later settled a lawsuit brought by survivors.
Kurt Danysh, 18, shot his own father to death in 1996, a little more
than two weeks after starting on Prozac. Danysh’s description of own
his mental-emotional state at the time of the murder is chilling: “I
didn’t realize I did it until after it was done,” Danysh said. “This
might sound weird, but it felt like I had no control of what I was
doing, like I was left there just holding a gun.”
John Hinckley, age 25, took four Valium two hours before shooting
and almost killing President Ronald Reagan in 1981. In the assassination
attempt, Hinckley also wounded press secretary James Brady, Secret
Service agent Timothy McCarthy and policeman Thomas Delahanty.
Andrea Yates, in one of the most heartrending crimes in modern
history, drowned all five of her children – aged 7 years down to 6
months – in a bathtub. Insisting inner voices commanded her to kill her
children, she had become increasingly psychotic over the course of
several years. At her 2006 murder re-trial (after a 2002 guilty verdict
was overturned on appeal), Yates’ longtime friend Debbie Holmes
testified: “She asked me if I thought Satan could read her mind and if I
believed in demon possession.” And Dr. George Ringholz, after
evaluating Yates for two days, recounted an experience she had after the
birth of her first child: “What she described was feeling a presence …
Satan … telling her to take a knife and stab her son Noah,” Ringholz
said, adding that Yates’ delusion at the time of the bathtub murders was
not only that she had to kill her children to save them, but that Satan
had entered her and that she had to be executed in order to
kill Satan.Yates had been taking the antidepressant Effexor. In November
2005, more than four years after Yates drowned her children, Effexor
manufacturer Wyeth Pharmaceuticals quietly added “homicidal ideation” to
the drug’s list of “rare adverse events.” The Medical Accountability
Network, a private nonprofit focused on medical ethics issues, publicly
criticized Wyeth, saying Effexor’s “homicidal ideation” risk wasn’t well
publicized and that Wyeth failed to send letters to doctors or issue
warning labels announcing the change.And what exactly does “rare” mean
in the phrase “rare adverse events”? The FDA defines it as occurring in
less than one in 1,000 people. But since that same year 19.2 million
prescriptions for Effexor were filled in the U.S., statistically that
means thousands of Americans might experience “homicidal ideation” –
murderous thoughts – as a result of taking just this one brand of
antidepressant drug. Effexor is Wyeth’s best-selling drug, by the way,
which in one recent year brought in over $3 billion in sales, accounting
for almost a fifth of the company’s annual revenues.
One more case is instructive, that of 12-year-old Christopher
Pittman, who struggled in court to explain why he murdered his
grandparents, who had provided the only love and stability he’d ever
known in his turbulent life. “When I was lying in my bed that night,” he
testified, “I couldn’t sleep because my voice in my head kept echoing
through my mind telling me to kill them.” Christopher had been angry
with his grandfather, who had disciplined him earlier that day for
hurting another student during a fight on the school bus. So later that
night, he shot both of his grandparents in the head with a .410 shotgun
as they slept and then burned down their South Carolina home, where he
had lived with them. “I got up, got the gun, and I went upstairs and I
pulled the trigger,” he recalled. “Through the whole thing, it was like
watching your favorite TV show. You know what is going to happen, but you can’t do anything to stop it.”Pittman’s
lawyers would later argue that the boy had been a victim of
“involuntary intoxication,” since his doctors had him taking the
antidepressants Paxil and Zoloft just prior to the murders.
Paxil’s known “adverse drug reactions” – according to the drug’s
FDA-approved label – include “mania,” “insomnia,” “anxiety,”
“agitation,” “confusion,” “amnesia,” “depression,” “paranoid reaction,”
“psychosis,” “hostility,” “delirium,” “hallucinations,” “abnormal
thinking,” “depersonalization” and “lack of emotion,” among others. The
preceding examples are only a few of the best-known offenders who had
been taking prescribed psychiatric drugs before committing their violent
crimes – there are many others.
Whether we like to admit it or not, it is undeniable that when
certain people living on the edge of sanity take psychiatric
medications, those drugs can – and occasionally do – push them over the
edge into violent madness. Remember, every single SSRI antidepressant
sold in the United States of America today, no matter what brand or
manufacturer, bears a “black box” FDA warning label –
the government’s most serious drug warning – of “increased risks of
suicidal thinking and behavior, known as suicidality, in young adults
ages 18 to 24.” Common sense tells us that where there are suicidal
thoughts – especially in a very, very angry person – homicidal thoughts
may not be far behind. Indeed, the mass shooters we are describing often
take their own lives when the police show up, having planned their
suicide ahead of time. Never lost a lawsuit
Pharmaceutical manufacturers are understandably nervous about
publicity connecting their highly lucrative drugs to murderous violence,
which may be why we rarely if ever hear any confirmation to those
first-day reports from grief-stricken relatives who confide to
journalists that the perpetrator was taking psychiatric drugs. After
all, who are by far the biggest sponsors of TV news? Pharmaceutical
companies, and they don’t want any free publicity of this sort.
The truth is, to avoid costly settlements and public relations catastrophes – such as when GlaxoSmithKline was ordered to pay millions of dollars to the family of 60-year-old Donald Schell who
murdered his wife, daughter and granddaughter in a fit of rage shortly
after starting on Paxil – drug companies’ legal teams have quietly and
skillfully settled hundreds of cases out-of-court, shelling out hundreds
of millions of dollars to plaintiffs. Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly
fought scores of legal claims against Prozac in this way, settling for
cash before the complaint could go to court while stipulating that the
settlement remain secret – and then claiming it had never lost a Prozac
lawsuit.
Which brings us back to the key question: When are we going to get
official confirmation as to whether Nikolas Cruz, like so many other
mass shooters, had been taking psychiatric drugs? http://www.wnd.com/2018/02/media-ignoring-1-crucial-factor-in-florida-school-shooting/ Websites Links http://unregisteredbaptistfellowship.org/ http://the-trumpet-online.com/ http://biblicallawcenter.com/

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- “Enough is enough!” “This can't go on!” “This has to stop!”
These
were among the comments that came through the blizzard of commentary
after the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Broward
County. We have heard these words before.
Unfortunately, such
atrocities are not going to stop. For the ingredients that produce such
slaughters are present and abundant in American society.
And what
can stop a man full of hate, who has ceased to care about his life and
is willing to end it, from getting a weapon in a country of 300 million
guns and killing as many as he can in a public place before the police
arrive?
An act of “absolute pure evil,” said Gov. Rick Scott, of
the atrocity that took 17 lives and left a dozen more wounded. And evil
is the right word.
While this massacre may be a product of mental
illness, it is surely a product of moral depravity. For this was
premeditated and plotted, done in copycat style to the mass killings to
which this country has become all too accustomed.
Nikolas Cruz
thought this through. He knew it was Valentine's Day. He brought his
fully loaded AR-15 with extra magazines and smoke grenades to the school
that had expelled him. He set off a fire alarm, knowing it would bring
students rushing into crowded halls where they would be easy to kill. He
then escaped by mixing in with fleeing students.
The first
ingredient then was an icy indifference toward human life and a
willingness to slaughter former fellow students to deliver payback for
whatever it was Cruz believed had been done to him at Douglas High.
In
his case, the conscience was dead, or was buried beneath hatred, rage
or resentment at those succeeding where he had failed. He had been
rejected, cast aside, expelled. This would be his revenge, and it would
be something for Douglas High and the nation to see — and never forget.
Indeed,
it seems a common denominator of the atrocities to which we have been
witness in recent years is that the perpetrators are nobodies who wish
to die as somebodies.
If a sense of grievance against those
perceived to have injured them is the goad that drives misfits like Cruz
to mass murder, the magnet that draws them to it is infamy. Infamy is
their shortcut to immortality.
From the killings in Columbine to
Dylann Roof's murder of black parishioners at the Charleston Church,
from the Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando to the slaughter of
first-graders in Newtown, to Las Vegas last October where Stephen
Paddock, firing from an upper floor of the Mandalay Bay, shot dead 58
people and wounded hundreds at a country music festival — these
atrocities enter the social and cultural history of the nation. And
those who carry them out achieve a recognition few Americans ever know.
Charles Whitman, shooting 47 people from that Texas tower in 1966, is
the original model.
Evil has its own hierarchy of rewards. Perhaps
the most famous man of the 20th century was Hitler, with Stalin and Mao
among his leading rivals.
Some of these individuals who seek to
“go out” this way take their own lives when the responders arrive, or
they commit “suicide by cop” and end their lives in a shootout. Others,
Cruz among them, prefer to star in court, so the world can see who they
are. And the commentators and TV cameras will again give them what they
crave: massive publicity.
And we can't change this. As soon as the
story broke, the cameras came running, and we watched another staging
of the familiar drama — the patrol cars, cops in body armor, ambulances,
students running in panic or walking in line, talking TV heads
demanding to know why the cowards in Congress won't vote to outlaw
AR-15s.
Yet, among the reasons gun-owners prize the AR-15 is that,
not only in movies and TV shows is it the hero's — and the villain's —
weapon of choice, but in real life, these are the kinds of rifles
carried by the America's most-admired warriors.
They are the modern version of muskets over the fireplace.
Another
factor helps to explain what happened Wednesday: We are a formerly
Christian society in an advanced state of decomposition.
Nikolas
Cruz was a product of broken families. He was adopted. Both adoptive
parents had died. Where did he get his ideas of right and wrong, good
and evil? Before the Death of God and repeal of the Ten Commandments, in
those dark old days, the 1950s, atrocities common now were almost
nonexistent.
One imagines Nikolas sitting alone, watching coverage
of the Las Vegas shooting, and thinking, “Why not? What have I got to
lose? If this life is so miserable and unlikely to get better, why not
go out, spectacularly, like that? If I did, they would remember who I
was and what I did for the rest of their lives.”

SACRAMENTO, CA —-(Ammoland.com)-
Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has issued the following statement
concerning yesterday’s tragic shooting of innocent people at a Florida
high school:
We grieve for our fallen American brothers, sisters,
sons, and daughters who lost their lives at the hands of an evil killer
in yesterday’s horrific mass murder at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
School. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of
the victims, the community of Parkland, Florida, and all those affected
by this horrific and senseless murder of innocent people.
It is
both heartbreaking and infuriating to see that, once again,
opportunistic politicians and the craven gun control lobbyists who pay
them would rather leverage this tragedy to push their dangerous agenda
than to take meaningful steps to protect America’s students and
teachers. But the crimson thread in attacks on our school campuses is
not the methodology or motive of the killers, but the lack of truly
effective security measures and an irrational reliance on mythical
“gun-free zones” to keep armed violent criminals out.
Time and
time again, we see that evil and insane people intent on causing death,
injury, and chaos simply ignore the thousands of federal, state, and
local criminal laws that prohibit acts like murder, terrorism, assault,
and illegally carrying guns onto school grounds—and wreak havoc until
they voluntarily end their attack, commit suicide, or are stopped by a
law-abiding hero….usually one that is armed.
Yet, instead of
deploying serious and effective safety measures at our schools, the
too-common refrain of the anti-gun fetishists is to attack the rights of
law-abiding people. America’s legislative buildings, courthouses,
airports, and government offices are protected by robust physical
security measures, controlled ingress, and weapon detection
devices—backstopped, just in case, by law-abiding people with firearms.
But too many schools have little-to-no real ability to deter, repel, or
quickly stop a violent attacker before innocent lives are lost. Are our
children and teachers less worthy of effective security measures than
our legislators, judges, and government agency workers? We think not.
Earlier
today, President Donald Trump said that “no child, no teacher should
ever be in danger in an American school.” We agree. But until our state
and local governments enact laws that actually protect our children and
teachers with real physical security barriers, controlled access to
school grounds, and armed quick-response officers on every campus, our
children and the people entrusted to care for them at places of learning
will remain at risk.
As we have said before, law-abiding gun
owners are not responsible for evil or insane killers who use firearms
in their immoral acts, just as peaceable Muslims are not responsible for
radical Islamic terrorists flying planes into our buildings and killing
thousands, slaying hundreds in bomb blasts, or even running over dozens
with vehicles. We reject the idea that the American people and our
fundamental human right to keep and bear arms for self-defense must
suffer for the crimes of the wicked.
The right to keep and bear
arms, like freedom of speech and the right to due process, is a
bright-line rule that separates the people from tyranny and servitude.
Our nation’s founders, and their Reconstruction-era counterparts, wisely
took great pains to protect fundamental rights like those contained in
the First, Second, and Fourteenth Amendments in the very textual threads
of our social fabric—not because they are benign, but because they are
both inherently dangerous and necessary to an enduring free Republic.
Firearms
Policy Coalition demands that state and local governments immediately
implement serious and robust physical security measures at our schools.
FPC will continue fighting to defend and advance the fundamental human
right to keep and bear arms for self-defense inside and outside our
homes. About the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC)
Firearms
Policy Coalition (www.firearmspolicy.org) is a 501(c)4 grassroots
nonprofit organization. FPC’s mission is to protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States, especially the fundamental,
individual Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. FPC Statement Regarding Douglas High School Shooting

After protracted deliberations, the Islamic School
Foundation has been ultimately granted the right to open a contested
Muslim “free school” in the city of Borås.
The project was driven by Abdirizak Waberi, “a former Conservative
politician of Somali descent,” who has been open about his views
supporting polygamy and wife-beating. So Sharia values will form the
basis of this school, and the Stockholm Court of Appeals couldn’t see
the obvious negative impact. Waberi has also stated openly that he “wants to live in an Islamic
state whose politics are governed by the Quran and where young people
are severely segregated and where dancing and pop music are banned.” The approval to open this Islamic school adds to the list of failures
of Sweden’s leadership. The country is already overrun by expanding and
violent no-go zones, leaving residents scared to leave their homes. Now it has just been reported that Sweden has become a new base
for international jihad networks. Children who are being educated in a
school led by the likes of Waberi can now readily “graduate” to these
jihad networks, which are already known for their recruitment outreach.
Sweden’s democracy is in its final stages unless its people make an about-face in the upcoming September 2018 elections.
“Shock as Islamic Fundamentalist Gets Green Light to Start School in Sweden”, Sputnik International, February 15, 2018:
Behind the divisive initiative is Conservative MP
Abdirizak Waberi, who notoriously called for banning music and dancing,
prohibiting boys and girls from socializing and allowing men to beat
their four wives with sticks when they became disobedient.
After protracted deliberations, the Islamic School Foundation has
been ultimately granted the right to open a contested Muslim “free
school” in the city of Borås, the newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported. The
Borås municipality has long fought to stop the school that, it
contended, would impede the integration process and cement segregation.
However, the Stockholm Court of Appeals gave the school, which
previously received the backing of the School Inspectorate and the
Administrative Court, the all-clear. According to the court, the
municipality failed to prove the negative impact of the school with a
focus on Muslim education and the Arabic language.
The project has been driven by Abdirizak Waberi, a former
Conservative politician of Somali descent, who is known for his
fundamentalist interpretation of Islam and promotion of polygamy and
domestic violence, as it appears from his interview with Ottar magazine
in 2006. In 2009, Waberi appeared in the contested SVT documentary “The
Battle of the Muslims,” where he stated, among other things, that he
wants to live in an Islamic state whose politics are governed by the
Quran and where young people are severely segregated and where dancing
and pop music are banned. Because men have a stronger sex drive than
women, Waberi claimed, it is the duty of women to shy away, hence his
calls for the Islamic veil for female TV anchors….
In his capacity as the rector of the Römosseskolan in Gothenburg,
Waberi received profound criticism from the School Inspectorate for
teachers’ rough treatment of pupils and widespread harassment of girls.
Furthermore, the grading system was considered arbitrary and favored
boys.
Römosseskolan, located in the blighted area of Angered, where three
quarters of the population is of foreign descent, profiles itself as a
Muslim school with an emphasis on Islamic education, prayers and halal
diet. By Waberi’s own admission, the goal is to make students feel proud
of being Muslims.
The Conservatives, whose motto is “A Hopeful Future for Sweden,” had
no qualms about Waberi representing them in parliament. During his stint
as MP that stretched from 2010 to 2014, Waberi was even part of the
parliamentary defense committee.
The green light to the “free school” in Borås sent shockwaves through Swedish political circles.
“It all boils down to two things: the fierce criticism against the
school in Gothenburg and the leader’s lousy view of women in that he
defends domestic violence and wants to introduce Sharia law,” Liberal
integration spokesman Gulan Avci told the newspaper Aftonbladet. “I’m
tired of people playing the Islamophobia card. We are talking about
activities that risk depriving children of education in an equal
environment,” Avci added…..

A sense of supremacism permeates everything in the Muslim
supremacist’s life — even those things that Western media portray as
laudable, humanitarian, or understandable. Consider the rape and strangulation of Zainab Ansari, an
eight-year-old Muslim girl whose mangled body was found in a dump last
January in Pakistan. The tragic incident sparked mass outrage in the
Muslim nation. Famous celebrities and tens of thousands of other
Pakistanis “expressed their shock on social media using the hashtag
‘justiceforZainab’”; angry mobs attacked police and government
buildings, leaving at least two dead and many wounded; Islamic clerics
warned governmental officials either to produce the murderer instantly,
step down — or else. “Can we please catch this animal and punish him
publicly?” is the question that “summed up many people’s exasperation at a lack of progress in finding the killer.” Needless to say, the outrage sensed by Pakistanis concerning this
hapless girl’s lot, and their desire to see justice meted out to her
rapist-murderer, is appreciable. The problem, however, is that this
outrage is entirely predicated on the fact that she was Muslim.
Many young Christian girls have been and continue to be raped,
mutilated, and murdered — only for Pakistanis to respond with deafening
silence. The following is a brief (and far from complete) list of these unlamented Christian girls:
Nisha, 9, was abducted by Muslims, gang-raped, murdered by repeated blows to her head, and then dumped in a canal.
Lubna, 12, was kidnapped, gang-raped, and murdered by a group of Muslims.
Muqadas,
12, was ambushed in a field near her home; the postmortem revealed that
she had been “gang raped and then strangled to death by five men.”
Shazia, 12, was enslaved, raped, and murdered by Chaudhry Naeem, a rich Muslim lawyer, who was acquitted in court.
“It is shameful,” explained local
Pakistani sources while discussing the brutal rape of another
9-year-old Christian girl. “Such incidents occur frequently. Christian
girls are considered goods to be damaged at leisure. Abusing them is a
right. According to the [Muslim] community’s mentality it is not even a crime. Muslims regard them as spoils of war.” (Emphasis added.)
Nor, it should be mentioned, are Christian boys spared. While in a
Christian district in Pakistan, a group of Muslim men abducted a 7-year-old boy,
took turns gang raping him before strangling and dumping his body in a
field — just like Zainab. The body of another Christian boy, Samuel Yaqoob,
aged 11, was also “found near a drain … bearing marks of horrific
torture, with the murder weapon nearby. His nose, lips and belly had
been sliced off, and his family could hardly recognize him because the
body was so badly burnt.” Autopsy found “23 wounds by a sharp weapon”
and indications “of sodomy.”
Explaining such incidents, Wilson Chowdhry, Chairman of the British
Pakistani Christian Association, said, “Parts of Pakistani culture have a
strong homosexual pederast culture, and Christian and other minority
boys are especially susceptible to rape and abuse because of the
powerlessness of their community and their despised status.” (Emphasis added.)
And that’s the point. As “infidels,” Christians in Pakistan are widely seen as “untouchables,” fit only for picking the “excrement of Muslims,” and are thus regularly “treated like animals.” Outside the victims’ family and surrounding Christian community, virtually no one else in the 99% Muslim-majority nation cares when Christians and their children are savaged and murdered, the way Muslim Zainab was.
None of the aforementioned rape-murders of Christian children led to a
nationwide scandal; none were followed by mass tweets and hashtags,
outraged celebrities, mass uprisings, fatal riots, or threats to
officials and police. Nor did they earn their own Wikipedia page, the way Zainab did.
Unsurprisingly, whereas the murderer of Zainab was caught days after the incident, the murderers of the aforementioned Christian children were never “found.”
It is precisely due to this indifference that rapists and murderers
tend to target Christian children: if society doesn’t care, police won’t
bother, and they can get away with it — if not be lionized for doing a
service to Islam. After explaining that “the forced conversion to Islam
of women from religious minority groups through rape and abduction has
reached an alarming stage” in Pakistan, the Asian Human Rights
Commission elaborated in a 2011 report:
The situation is worse with the police who always side
with the Islamic groups and treat minority groups as lowly life forms.
The dark side of the forced conversion to Islam … also involves the
criminal elements who are engaged in rape and abduction and then justify
their heinous crimes by forcing the victims to convert to Islam. The
Muslim fundamentalists are happy to offer these criminals shelter and
use the excuse that they are providing a great service to their sacred
cause of increasing the population of Muslims.
Not only do police in Pakistan do virtually nothing to combat this “jihad”; sometimes they themselves are the culprits. In yet another instance, a “Christian boy was kidnapped, raped, tortured and killed by a police officer, his body similarly being dumped in a drain.”
More often, however, police and other local officials and imams
merely side with the perpetrators, whenever the Christian victims’
families make too much noise demanding “justice” — that is, when they
get too uppity for “dhimmis,” who according to Islamic law are required
to “know their place” and be thankful that, as undesirable and
vulnerable infidels, they are allotted any measure of tolerance at all.
For example, another 12-year-old Christian girl known as “Anna” was gang-raped for eight months,
forcibly converted, “married” to her Muslim attacker, but then escaped.
Instead of seeing justice done, she and her Christian family were last
reported as “in hiding from the rapists and the police.” Similarly, all
that happened after a 2-year-old toddler was savagely raped because
her Christian father refused to convert to Islam — leaving her anatomy
permanently disfigured despite undergoing five surgeries — is that she
and her family went into hiding for having made a “big deal” of the
incident.
Muslim bias concerning who matters (fellow Muslims) and who doesn’t
(everyone else) is regularly missed in the West. For example, the Muslim
obligation to pay zakat (often translated as “charity”) is always
hailed in the West as a reflection of Islam’s “humanitarian” side — even
though mainstream Islamic law insists that such “charity” go only to help Muslims, never the hated infidel…. Keep reading

What are the chances that this couple — and their children — will
assimilate, adopt Western values, and become loyal, stable, productive
members of Belgian society? Right, there is no chance of that
whatsoever. And how many more Muslim migrants are there just like this
couple in Belgium already, with many more on the way? What will Belgium
look like in ten years? Twenty? By then, incidents like this one will
not be prosecuted in Belgian courts. They will be taken as a matter of
course.
“Belgium: Muslim couple beat up their four children because they are ‘too Western,'” Voice of Europe, February 15, 2018:
Police in the Belgian city of Waregem arrested a Tunisian couple for battering their four children.
The reason for this ill-treatment is that the children are “too
Western” according to their parents. During a dispute the 16-year-old
daughter was hit with a belt in the face and was seriously injured.
The police interfered during the fight and arrested the father and
the mother of the children. According to the prosecutor’s office all
children were maltreated. The couple also had plans to send their
children to Tunisia, an Islamic country with between 98 and 99 per cent
Muslims….

It isn’t surprising the
mainstream media – and late night entertainers – focus on guns instead
of SSRIs linked to mass shootings given that they’re well-funded by drug
makers.
Virtually every suspected mass shooter
was on psychiatric drugs, yet the mainstream media – which is funded by
Big Pharma ad revenue – conveniently buries this fact.
In fact, the media is so dependent on
this ad revenue that some outlets have even launched “health content
businesses” to attract consumers targeted by Big Pharma.
“It doesn’t surprise me that media
companies are getting into pharma advertising, given the total value at
stake in pharma sales,” said Brian Fox, a consultant with McKinsey & Company.
This would explain the mainstream
media’s indifference when it comes to investigating the link between
serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and mass shootings.
As Infowars reported, suspected Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz may have been autistic and taking medication for emotional issues, yet only Infowars, World Net Daily and a handful of others are shining a light on the SSRI epidemic.
“As information about the perpetrator
emerges, a relative confides to a newspaper that the ‘troubled youth’
who committed the mass murder was on psychiatric medications – you know,
those powerful, little understood, mind-altering drugs with fearsome
side effects including ‘suicidal ideation’ and even ‘homicidal
ideation,’” wrote WND’s David Kupelian.
There are hundreds of cases of violence committed by persons taking psychiatric drugs, as documented by sites such as SSRIStories.org, in addition to the suspected mass shooters who were on SSRIs:
Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron
Alexis “had been treated…. by the Veterans Administration for his mental
problems,” according to USA Today, which didn’t bother to mention the VA normally “treats” mental issues with SSRIs,
“SSRIs, or selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors, are the pharmaceutical companies latest cash cows,” wrote
Dr. Moira Dolan. “Their use has skyrocketed in the last 10 years.”
“Nicknamed ‘Chemical Babysitters’ and
designated anti-depressants, they are causing dozens of murders,
thousands of psychoses and are altering the minds of millions of users.”

Despite President Donald Trump’s previously stated opposition to ObamaCare’s insurance-company bailouts, the federal budget
he recently proposed actually reinstates these supposedly temporary
bailouts and even asks for them to become a permanent entitlement. Trump proposes spending $11.5 billion to pay back claims under the
healthcare law’s risk-corridor program, whereby insurers who suffer
losses on the exchanges are bailed out by those who reap “excess”
profits on them. The program was supposed to be self-sufficient, but
“the losses thus far have exceeded the gains, and the program ran an
$11.5 billion shortfall through 2016, when the law required the program
to ‘sunset,’” wrote the Daily Signal. “To make matters worse,” reported the website, “the proposal both
asks for an [$800 million] appropriation and proposes to put the program
in the mandatory baseline — indicating that insurers are to be the
beneficiaries of federal funding as a form of entitlement.” On top of
that, Trump wants to exempt the program from budget sequestration, so it
can grow even as other programs are forced to tighten their belts. The risk-corridor program has never been funded by Congress. In fact,
lawmakers passed bills explicitly forbidding its funding, and President
Barack Obama signed them. Insurers, who had counted on the program when deciding to participate in the exchanges, filed suit
to get the bailouts to which they believed they were entitled. Despite
Obama’s clear desire to give insurers what they wanted in order to shore
up his signature achievement, his administration dutifully opposed the
lawsuit in court. The Trump administration has done likewise, although
seemingly under less duress, the president himself having told Congress to stop “providing bailouts to insurance companies.”
By asking Congress to fund the risk-corridor program — and to do so
in perpetuity — the Trump administration “is undercutting the argument
made by the Justice Department under both … Obama and Trump that this
program is no longer an obligation of the federal government,” argued
the Daily Signal. Insurance-company attorneys are undoubtedly delighted with this turn of events; others are not.
Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a longtime critic of the risk corridors, tweeted:
“I’ve been fighting for years to ensure we do not bail out #Obamacare,
but @POTUS budget includes $ for the Obamacare risk corridors &
would protect the program from automatic cuts. Why should #Obamacare
Insurer Bailout program be protected & not important programs for
#Florida?”
Americans for Prosperity President Tim Phillips said in a statement, “It
is disappointing to see this administration proposing to restart the
misguided practice of using taxpayer dollars to subsidize big
insurers. President Trump has provided regulatory relief that allows
those hurt by skyrocketing Obamacare premiums onto short-term policies
or association health plans, eliminating the need for a new round of
insurance company giveaways.”
“Including CSRs [Cost Sharing Reductions] and risk corridors in the
White House budget would only prop up the failing health care law,” he
continued. “Obamacare was manipulated to put the profits of private
health insurance companies ahead of tax-paying Americans, and it’s good
that we have put an end to these bailout programs.”
The Trump administration announced in October that it would stop paying CSRs,
which subsidize premiums for exchange plans, because Congress had not
appropriated the money for them. A few days later, however, Senators
Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) made a deal to appropriate the money, which Trump then endorsed. According to National Review,
appropriating money for ObamaCare programs that Republicans have
heretofore opposed appears to be part of a political strategy: “The plan
is that insurers, flush with federal cash, will go easy on 2019 premium
increases. That matters because those premiums will be announced just
prior to the November elections. Republicans can then run, not on having
repealed Obamacare, but on heading off another round of steep premium
hikes. Moderate voters will find the kinder, gentler, more pragmatic GOP
appealing and help the party retain seats in swing districts.”
Maybe. But iffy political gimmicks are no substitute for principle,
particularly the principle that the federal government shouldn’t be
doing anything the Constitution doesn’t authorize. Under that rule, not
only the bailouts but the whole of ObamaCare should be shown to the door
— and given a swift kick out.

A far-left group on Facebook
is calling on people to murder Republican lawmakers who support the NRA
as revenge for the Florida school shooting.
The unhinged posts appeared on a Facebook group called ‘Milkshakes Against the Republican Party’ in the hours after the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
“Dear Crazed Shooters, The GOP has
frequent baseball practice. You really wanna be remembered, that’s how
you do it. Signed, Americans tired of our politicians bathing in the
blood of the innocent for a few million dollars from the terrorist
organization NRA,” states one of the posts.
The irony of openly encouraging
terrorist attacks as revenge against a “terrorist organization” is
seemingly lost on whoever posted the message.
“You remember the shooting at the
Republican baseball game?” asks another post. “One of those should
happen EVERY WEEK until those NRA-funded sons of bitches do something
about this.”
Neither of the posts has been removed by Facebook despite being online for approaching 48 hours.
The mention of GOP baseball practice
is in reference to the June 2017 shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise,
which was carried out by a far-left Bernie Sanders supporter, James T.
Hodgkinson, who was attempting to murder as many Republicans as
possible.
These posts again illustrate how
extremists on both the far left and far right are exploiting the
hyper-partisan environment to spread hate and encourage violence.
Leftists on Twitter responded to a
parent of one of the victims who lost his daughter in the school
shooting with total vitriol merely because the man was wearing a ‘Trump
2020’ t-shirt.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 14, 2018 (LifeSiteNews)
– Ohio government authorities forced parents to give up legal custody
of their daughter after the mother and father said they opposed the
girl’s decision to identify as a ‘boy’ and transition to being ‘male.’ The Hamilton County Job and Family Services took legal custody of the
teenage girl, 17, who, according to court records, suffers from gender
dysphoria. The teen is currently living with her maternal grandparents.
The girl’s name and the names of her parents are under court seal. The minor was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and gender
dysphoria after being hospitalized in 2016. Doctors decided that because
she wants to identify as a male, she should be given testosterone and
sex “change” drugs. But the girl’s parents objected, arguing that they did not think that such “treatment” was in their daughter’s best interest.
A juvenile court judge will determine if parental rights for the minor should be entirely stripped.
At stake are parental rights and who will make medical decisions as
the legal guardian for the youngster. A decision is expected by Friday.
Pro-transgender doctors pressured the court in closing arguments,
saying a ruling must come quickly, claiming that the girl needed
opposite-sex hormones or else she may kill herself. Medical witnesses
said that the parents’ rejection of their daughter’s decision to
identify as a male has made her suicidal. They termed the girl’s
circumstances a life-or-death situation.
The court heard arguments that the girl’s pro-transgender
grandparents should take over custody. “We think the grandparents are
the ones who have an open mind” regarding sex change hormones, while
“the parents have clearly indicated that they’re not open to it,” the
court-appointed guardian for the girl argued.
The parents testified that they only desire what is best for their
daughter. Their attorney Karen Brinkman summarized their view of the
case: “If the maternal grandparents were to be given custody, it would
simply be a way for the child to circumvent the necessity of parents’
consent,” Brinkman told the court.
Brinkman reasoned that the girl’s medically-affirmed depression,
anxiety, and dysphoria indicate that she is in no position to make
decisions which would result in permanent physiological changes. “It
does not appear that this child is even close to being able to make such
a life-altering decision at this time,” Brinkman observed.
The girl’s and the grandparents’ lawyers both listed additional
complaints about alleged parental mistreatment. The former claimed the
parents’ sending their daughter to Catholic school where the dress code
requires female clothing “caused additional trauma and anxiety”
increasing her “suicidal ideation.” The later said answering to her
real (female) name or even hearing it, or just seeing it on documents
“has become a very big trigger” which “caused trauma.”
Like the pro-transgender doctors, the grandparents urged immediate
action to avoid the girl committing suicide. “What we want to do … is
plan for a high school graduation,” their lawyer told the court. “We don’t want to be planning for a funeral.”
Pro-transgender Hamilton County Prosecutor Donald Clancy argued that the parents are religiously motivated. He said the father commented that “any kind of transition at all would go against his core beliefs.”
The complaint alleges that the father told his daughter to kill
herself because she was “going to hell anyway” for rejecting her female
biology. It also accuses the parents of removing their daughter from
transgender therapy and seeking “Christian” counseling for her. The
complaint claims the counseling simply consisted of the girl sitting for
six hours listening to the Bible.
The parents’ attorney denied the prosecution’s allegations. Brinkman affirmed that
the parents “have done their due diligence contacting medical
professionals, collecting thousands of hours of research and relying on …
their observation of their own child … that led them to the conclusion
that (a sex change hormone injection) is not in their child’s best
interest.”
The parents believe opposite-sex hormones “would do more harm than good,” Brinkman said.

A Youth Discipleship Course
by David W. Cloud
Many Christian homes and churches are losing a frightful percentage of their young people to the world.
This
practical and far-reaching youth discipleship course deals with the
parent’s part, the church’s part, and the youth’s part in winning and
discipling young people
It covers:
• Salvation • Child discipline • The Christian home environment • Reaching the child’s heart • Bible study techniques • How to use apologetics • How to protect young people from dangers associated with the Internet and smartphones • Many other things.
The
section on building a wall of protection deals with such things as
having a basic home phone that teens can use under parental oversight,
using filters and accountability software, controlling passwords and
apps, the power of pornography, the dangers of Facebook and video games,
avoiding conversation with members of the opposite sex, and monitoring
the young person’s attitude.
The course explains how the church
and the home can work together in youth discipleship. It describes the
characteristic of a church that produces youth disciples, such as having
qualified leaders, officers, and teachers, maintaining biblical
standards for workers, being careful about salvation, being
uncompromising about separation from the world, building godly homes,
discipline, prayer, and vision. It deals with how to train young people
to be effective Bible students and how to involve them in the church’s
ministry.
Eleven Biblical Principles
Finally,
the course deals with eleven biblical principles of spiritual
protection that young people must build into their own lives. These are
- Living to please the Lord - Living by the law of the Spirit - Practicing humility - Pursuing Christian growth - Pursuing edification and ministry - Pursuing honesty
- Practicing vigilance and separation - Pursuing pure speech - Redeeming the time - Pursuing temperance and - Obeying and honoring one’s parents.
