PSA Contains Bizarre Subliminal Message About "Martial Law"
Published on Apr 27, 2015
A bizarre PSA (Public Service Announcement) put out by lobby group AARP now being broadcast on television and radio stations across the country contains a bizarre subliminal message about martial law being declared in America after nationwide riots.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who gave rioters “space to destroy” property and reportedly told police to stand down, was a key player in the Justice Dept.’s plan to expand federal control over local law enforcement.
Rawlings-Blake was one of three mayors who provided broad input into President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, which advocates the federalization of police departments across the country by forcing them to adhere to stricter federal requirements when they receive funding.
What They Won't Tell You About Baltimore Riots:
Published on Apr 29, 2015
After admitting a "safe space" was given to violent mobs hellbent on destruction, police officers in Baltimore reportedly told journalists that they were ordered by the Mayor not to stop looters during yesterday's riots.
We saw the same stand down when riots took place in Ferguson, Missouri last year.
Now activists groups say they are preparing for an even more violent summer. The founder of Hands Up United says, "People have become more radical. They've realized the power that they have. They're no longer afraid of the police, the state, but also you have a police and a military force that's been training for a year to deal with this type of circumstance." Warning that activists are not only prepared for more unrest but with the violent state oppression that will surely come along with it.
Since it's been revealed that George Soros donated $33 million to bankrolling Ferguson demonstrators, creating an 'echo chamber' to keep events and messages at the top of news agenda and drive national protests, there's no denying there's a bigger play going on.
Take a look at this passage from Capitalist Conspiracy Booklet written in 1971 by G. Edward Griffin:
"If those who seek world dominion can stimulate leftist mobs into violent confrontation with local law enforcement, and also provide exhaustive news coverage so that the entire nation can see and tremble, then the peaceful and freedom loving majority can be programmed to accept a vast expansion of government powers and even a national police force offered supposedly to end the violence."
As race riots and civil unrest continue to fester nationwide, can you say with certainty JADE HELM 15 and other "training exercises" aren't preparation for martial law?
Editor’s Note: It’s good to take a look once in a while at just how wicked the modern college campus has become. This type of trash is typical. Do not send your children to these abominable, worldly colleges.
Also note what this conservative writer says: “Along with accusing conservative Christians of racism, she proceeds to declare them homosexual bigots as well. As usual with the Left, her accusations are unaccompanied with any proof supporting her claims.”
This implies that it is somehow bad if a Christian were a “homosexual bigot”. Conservatives better wake up and boldly proclaim that homosexuality is a perverted abomination; this message needs to be clearly articulated in this late hour.

Conservatives aren’t real Christians. As a matter of fact, the Jesus of conservatism is a white, blonde haired, gun-toting maniac who advances the gospel of white supremacy. So it makes sense that the “god” conservatives worship is a complete “[expletive deleted],” so says Rutgers professor Brittany Cooper.
Cooper of course, is a professor of Women and Gender, and Africana Studies at Rutgers.
Last week on her Salon-based blog, Cooper went to great lengths to discredit the religiosity of conservatives, slandering them as bigots as she participated in the manufactured hysteria surrounding the passage of Indiana’s RFRA.
Along with accusing conservative Christians of racism, she proceeds to declare them homosexual bigots as well. As usual with the Left, her accusations are unaccompanied with any proof supporting her claims. But of course, that doesn’t matter. Conservatives aren’t “real” Christians because they don’t worship the kind of Jesus she claims to worship.
Any time right-wing conservatives declare that they are trying to restore or reclaim something, we should all be very afraid. Usually, this means the country or, in this case, the state of Indiana is about to be treated to another round of backward time travel, to the supposedly idyllic environs of the 1950s, wherein women, and gays, and blacks knew their respective places and stayed in them…
…And given our current anti-Black racial climate, there is no reason to trust that these laws won’t be eventually used for acts of racially inflected religious discrimination, perhaps against Black Muslims or Muslims of Arab descent, for instance…
As a practicing Christian, I am deeply incensed by these calls for restoration and reclamation in the name of religious freedom. This kind of legislation is largely driven by conservative Christian men and women, who hold political views that are antagonistic to every single group of people who are not white, male, Christian, cisgender, straight and middle-class. Jesus, a brown, working-class, Jew, doesn’t even meet all the qualifications.
Cooper would be a perfect fit as Barack Obama’s spiritual advisor.
She continues-
…when I reflect on the Christian story of Christ crucified, it is a story to me of a man who came, radically served his community, challenged the unjust show of state power, embraced children, working-class men and promiscuous women and sexual minorities (eunuchs). Of the many things Jesus preached about, he never found time to even mention gay people, let alone condemn them. His message of radical inclusivity was so threatening that the state lynched him for fear that he was fomenting a cultural and political rebellion….
This white, blond-haired, blue-eyed, gun-toting, Bible-quoting Jesus of the religious right is a god of their own making. I call this god, the god of white supremacy and patriarchy. There is nothing about their god that speaks to me as a Black woman of working-class background living in a country where police routinely murder black men and beat the hell out of black women, where the rich get richer while politicians find ever more reasons to extract from the poor, and where the lives the church imagines for women still center around marriage and motherhood, and no sex if you’re single.
This God isn’t the God that I serve. There is nothing holy, loving, righteous, inclusive, liberatory or theologically sound about him. He might be “biblical” but he’s also an [expletive deleted]…
We need to reclaim the narrative of Jesus’ life and death from the evangelical right… They have pimped Jesus’ death to support the global spread of… the abuse of native peoples, the continued subjugation of Black people, and the regulation of the sexual lives of women and gay people.
This woman is Christian like I’m an Afghan goat shepherd. And in the case of any confusion, I’m not an Afghan, nor do I shepherd goats.
Nevertheless, the amount of straw man arguments, false projections, and defamation of those who’re supposed to be her brothers and sisters in Christ is ridiculous. Then again, what can we expect from a professor who teaches, ‘Africana,’ ‘gender and women’ studies?
The “Jesus” Cooper describes worshipping sounds like a non-judgmental, sexually-confused, vegan radical from the ‘Occupy Movement.’ I’d say that Cooper herself is guilty of the exact same crime that she accuses conservatives of being guilty of- creating a god in her own image, straight out of the sociology department.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said her city government “gave those who wished to destroy space to do that,” seemingly approving of the rioters who smashed the city’s police vehicles in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray.
1968: BALTIMORE RACE RIOTS REPLAYED 47 YEARS LATER:
Baltimore descended into chaos Saturday night as hundreds of people engaged in wanton violence and looting, prompting a police crackdown and ruining any chance of real or meaningful protest against police brutality in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray.
Rioters smashed up local businesses and parked cars, and attacked patrons:

ALWAYS FUNNY: Obama Made a Funny About Taking Executive Action and White House Reporters Howled with Laughter http://t.co/QyUvJp9xm4
In Ferguson and elsewhere, so called ‘protesters’, intent on narrowing the extremely broad problem of police brutality into an issue solely of race, have bizarrely targeted restaurants and diners, stirring up conflict and often bullying innocent people, including women and children.
The actions of these people will only encourage rational Americans to turn away in disgust, will provide the media with ample material to demonize all protest, and will exponentially WORSEN the problem of police authoritarianism.
Good work at the #BaltimoreRiots guys. #looting#violence is going to give us a world of change as always. Except it doesn't/won't. Go home
COLLEGE PARK, Ga. – Televangelist Creflo Dollar defied opponents of his global effort to purchase a $65 million dollar jet in a recent message delivered to his congregation.
“Let me tell you something about believing God. I can dream as long as I want to. I can believe God as long as I want to,” he states in a video posted to YouTube by a group not affiliated with Dollar. “If I want to believe God for a $65 million plane, you cannot stop me. You cannot stop me from dreaming.”
As previously reported, staff World Changers Church International in College Park, Ga. had posted an online plead on the organization’s website last month as Dollar asked for 200,000 people to donate $300 dollars each so that he could purchase a new G650 airplane.
Dollar explained that his current 1984 jet, which he purchased in 1999, experienced engine failure in London on a recent trip to Australia. He said that the plane is grounded and is in need of being replaced.
“The plane is not so Creflo Dollar can get on by himself and fly,” public relations representative Juda Engelmayer told the Christian Post. “They take a ministry team of 10 to 15 people with them. They take thousands of pounds of food and provisions with them when they go around the world. If he’s coming to the New York church, he’ll hop on a Delta flight. If he’s taking 12 people plus 100,000 pounds of food, it’s not that simple.”
But as word broke about the project, some still expressed dismay as to why Dollar, who leads a 30,000-member megachurch and lives in a million dollar home, needs such an expensive aircraft, which is reportedly sought out by billionaires. David Graham, Global Express aircraft captain with Advanced Air Management, told the publication that Engelmayer’s claims don’t add up.
“[The aircraft] cannot carry 12 people and 100,000 pounds of food and supplies,” he said.
Dollar’s staff removed the online plea from the World Changers website following negative public reaction and said that the televangelist would be flying commercial while the campaign was being reassessed. However, in a recent message delivered to his congregation, Dollar appeared determined to purchase the jet despite opposition.
“You cannot stop me from dreaming. I’m going to dream until Jesus comes,” he said as his congregation stood to their feet and broke out into cheers. “And here’s another thing I want you to understand: … If they discover life on Mars—if you think a $65 million plane was too much—if they discover that there’s life on Mars, they’re going to need to hear the gospel and I’m going have to believe God for a billion dollar space shuttle because we got to preach the gospel on Mars.”
Dollar urged those gathered to likewise “dream big.”
“I dare you to tell me I can’t dream. I dare you to tell me that I can’t believe God,” he said. “Dream on, baby. Don’t dream on what you can have, dream about what the devil says you can’t have. Dream for the best. Dream for the best healing. Dream for the best deliverance. Dream for the best house. Dream for the best car. Just ’cause the world don’t have it, doesn’t mean you can’t have it.”
Dollar, who has drawn criticism for years over his prosperity preaching and video clips showing the televangelist dancing in tithes with “money cometh” preacher Leroy Thompson, told his congregation that he believes God is on his side and that the effort is therefore unstoppable.
“You cannot stop and you cannot curse what God has blessed,” he asserted. “Half the people that are commenting on the Internet don’t even know me. They don’t know this ministry. They don’t know what we do. That’s why they ask the question, ‘What does a preacher need with an airplane?’ If you knew what we did then you wouldn’t ask that question. But you don’t know what we do.”
“The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the Church is married to prosperity, personality and popularity,” the late preacher Leonard Ravenhill once stated.
