Truth surfaces in Whole Foods ‘gay’ cake slur

whole-foods-love-wins-cakeJordan Brown, the openly homosexual Texas pastor who tried to paint Whole Foods’ bakers as discriminatory against homosexuals by charging they wrote a slur on a cake he ordered in blue frosting, not only admitted on Monday he had lied, but withdrew the lawsuit he had launched against the grocer.

“Today I am dismissing my lawsuit against Whole Foods Market. The company did nothing wrong. I was wrong to pursue this matter and use the media to perpetuate this story, Brown said, in a statement. “I want to apologize to Whole Foods and its team members for questioning the company’s commitment to its values, and especially the bakery associate who I understand was put in a terrible position because of my actions.”  Source

‘Peak absurdity’: Islamophobia accelerating global warming?

islamophobia-and-global-warming-5-15-16-posterIn what some are calling “peak absurdity,” last week MIT’s Department of Global Studies and Languages sponsored a lecture entitled – really – “Is Islamophobia accelerating global warming?”

The lecture was given by “future generation professor” at Melbourne University named Ghassan Hage whose academic credentials included authorship of such tomes as “White Nation: Fantasies of white supremacy in a multicultural society” and “Against Paranoid Nationalism.”

The lecture description was as follows:

This talk examines the relation between Islamophobia as the dominant form of racism today and the ecological crisis. It looks at the three common ways in which the two phenomena are seen to be linked: as an entanglement of two crises, metaphorically related with one being a source of imagery for the other and both originating in colonial forms of capitalist accumulation. The talk proposes a fourth way of linking the two: an argument that they are both emanating from a similar mode of being, or enmeshment, in the world, what is referred to as ‘generalised domestication.’

Big Festival Brother? What summer music festivals are doing with your personal data

face-scans-music-festivalsLONDON — It’s May and the sun is finally out after a long British winter. For many that means one thing: festival season.

It’s a good occasion to disconnect from technology, go off the grid and enjoy a few days of carefree excitement. Or not.

Along with booze, music and mud — a lot of mud — British festivals may have another feature: mass surveillance.

Last year, Leicestershire police scanned the faces of 90,000 festival-goers at Download Festival, checking them against a list of wanted criminals across the country. It was the first time anywhere in the UK that facial recognition technology — NeoFace — was used at a public outdoor event.  Source

Obama gives ‘very powerful’ gift to abortion industry

baby-feetOne of the leading pro-life organizations is fighting back against the Obama administration’s approval for expanded use of the controversial abortion drug combination known as RU-486, calling the government’s decision harmful for women and babies and nothing but a political “thank you” from Obama to his allies in the abortion industry.

The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, which recently clamped down on e-cigarettes and some tobacco products to protect the health of children, is allowing women seeking abortions to take the RU-486 regimen until the 10th week of pregnancy. Previously, the limit was seven weeks.  Source

Christian students excluded from contest not backing down

011212cash“Students from a small Christian high school in Oregon traveled to Washington, D.C., this week to meet with members of Congress and ask them to work to protect their religious rights after they were excluded from a national stock-market competition – a competition their school team had won the last two years. …The challenge is a competition in which students start with a hypothetical equity in the stock market, pick stocks to buy and sell, and tally their results according to the real results on Wall Street. Canyonville’s team won the national competition both in 2014 and 2015. …Shaffer, the team’s coach, told WND he would like SIFMA to explain why “they would want to exclude the dominant team over the past years.” “You’re trying to educate kids, promote stock market ideas, among high schools. Why would you throw out the school that has actually excelled at it?” –Source

As much as I disapprove of gambling in any form and this includes gambling in the stock market. The one asking the questions actually answered their own question. The reason the Government agency chose to exclude the one school that won the competition two years running is because they excelled at it.

If living in these last days has taught the willingly blind anything it’s that Christians have been openly targeted by the media, society and government simply because they’re Christians. Prophecy said it would be this way and so it is. As the willingly blind can also see is that the preferred choice of religion for the masses is either evolution or out and out Satanism. Both of which can grant them the thought process that says there is no God in Heaven. But when it comes to the government, the one and only choice of religion is whatever the Vatican dictates. And at present, their main foster child is in fact Islam.  Source

Germany Teaching Refugees to Have Sex Right Away

zanzuThe German government has created a website dedicated to teaching the influx of Middle Eastern immigrants about sex — literally and figuratively, reports say.

Germany’s Federal Center for Health Education’s $136,000 site uses graphic diagrams and images to outline everything from first-time sex to how to perform far more advanced sexual acts — and even how to behave respectfully with gays and lesbians, the Washington Post reports.   Source

GOP Lawmaker: Transgender People Have ‘Mental Disorder’

70cb28c6-0a29-48d4-9f68-a54c27243e9dA Tennessee state lawmaker says transgender individuals suffer from a “mental disorder” and the Obama administration is force-feeding the nation into allowing them to use whichever bathroom they wish.

Republican Rep. Susan Lynn — who wants schools to make students to use the bathroom that corresponds with the sex on their birth certificates — wrote on her Facebook page on Friday:

“Transgenderism is a mental disorder called gender identity disorder — no one should be forced to entertain another’s mental disorder and it is not healthy for the individual with the disorder …

“We can and we will legislatively protect children from hormone abuse — a directive has no impact on that issue only the Orwellian redefinition of sex would do that.”  Source

Transgender Mental Illness Classification Axed In Denmark — First Nation To Spite The World Health Organization’s Slow Progress

Pride In LondonBeing transgender will no longer be equated with mental illness in Denmark, according to government officials who say they will remove the “stigmatizing” label.

Danish politicians said that they had “run out of patience” with waiting for the World Health Organization (WHO) to take the same steps, in the meantime leaving transgender people globally classified as mentally ill. Unless the WHO acts now, Denmark will be going through with the change on the first day of 2017.  Souce
