“Contraception” is Murder, a
weak, pathetic response to baby murder, is sent out at least once a month. If the gestapo hasn’t jailed you for
defending the innocent realistically, you either have to tell me you want it or
go to the website. Emails are free but
snail-mail is free only for PFCs, $800 for others.
Because
I believe we should examine every legitimate means, including force, in our
attempt to protect those being tortured to death, I want to hear from people
who’ve been forceful and from those who defend them. I’d also like to hear from those who oppose
the prolife use of force and call it violence

FACTOID: PRESIDENT OBAMA PRODUCT OF STATUTORY
RAPE
Dear John, The average time it takes from conception to birth is estimated to be 266 days. President Obama was born on August 4, 1961. Subtracting 266 days gives an estimated date of conception of November 11, 1960. President Obama's mother was born on November 29, 1942. This means she was 17 years old at the time of the President's estimated conception, and 18 days away from her 18th birthday.

This means she was 17 years old at the time of the President's estimated conception, and 18 days away from her 18th birthday.
According to U.S. immigration records,
President Obama's father was born on June 18, 1934. This means he was 27 years
old at the time of the President's estimated conception. Until recent times, in
Hawaii a female had to be at least 18 years old before an adult male could
legally have sexual relations with her. Otherwise it was statutory rape of an
underage female.
President Obama's birth certificate lists his
father's race as "African" and his mother's race as
"Caucasian."
Hence, assuming the President was conceived from sexual relations taking place between his mother and father where the age of consent was 18, then going by the estimated date of his conception, this means President Obama is legally the product of the statutory rape of a 17 year old Caucasian female by a 27 year old African male.
So if President Obama supports abortion in cases of rape, it would mean aborting himself.

Put another way, since Mitt Romney and Paul
Ryan support abortion in cases of rape, it means they would support aborting
their opponent, President Obama. Sincerely, Cal

The
top Catholic official in the United States, Timothy Dolan, cardinal of New
York, is proving to be more of a stumbling block on the path to removing the
death penalty from young people even than his ineffective predessors, Egan,
O’Connor, and Cooke. O’Connor, at least,
challenged Clinton, and Egan Kerry (see below).
And I remember Cooke’s first powerful prolife message (as he approached
his deathbed, though, and long after losing power).
This response to a column by Phil Lawler captures
the truth:
I think you have analyzed this one exactly
right, Phil. Cardinal Dolan's predecessors knew better than to invite President
Clinton in 1996 and Sen. Kerry in 2004 because of their positions on abortion.
President Obama's hostility to Catholic morals and the works of the Church is
much worse. Cardinal Dolan is revealing a tragic naivete. If he does this, why
should anyone take seriously any great statements he might make in the future?
His actions will have drowned out his words.
Enough
of these men of Irish descent. Just
because those people once believed does not mean they still do. How ‘bout an
Hispanic, a Dane, a convert!

Jimbo responds to Kathy Ramey, and more:
The
Ramadan Glorious Divine Set-up Fed. SNAFU Partial Field Report
Hi
John! Pax C! What a troubled web Web Masters weave when
first they practice to report fragments of gossip! (. . . oh, admit it John! You love it.)
I never dreamt you'd report anything on the
above Divine Set-up (Hi, Fr. Norm!).
Predictably, this fragmented report from the
frontlines of the BOP Culture Wars (soon to be unleashed on [currently]
out-of-custody taxpayers) has apparently produced confusion. Overmuch space in
skyp is off-point, John, methinx. It's
not about me or any of us prisoners.
We're all doing infinitely better than the 4300 children that got their
heads ripped off in the last 24 hours, while we talked about it.
Also, I am handcuffed about what I can or
can't say to you, as anyone listed at the top of skyp can testify. TESTIFY!,
brothers and sisters. Yeah! Until I can tell you more about the
kerfuffle, which is still kerfuffling, let me make a few tiny points but then
move on to something more pressing, I think.
By The
Numbers
1.
The full story is a huge blot and scandal on the name and reputation of
my dear US evangelical brothers and sisters.
They may want to hear the entire story first. My own Evan/charismatic (blood) family is
offended and disgusted.
2.
The Ramadan fast was approved not only by all the chaplains here on
staff (including an Evan and an RC priest) but also by my own spiritual
director.
3.
Evangelism to 'tough’ ministries may not be for everyone. I've been
studying and hanging out with Muslims forty years. Either way, its between you
and the Lord, the call.
4.
What we call 'Ramadan' was originally a Byzantine fast. Islam is a
'borrow' religion. It doesn’t deny this. I am a Byzantine.
Wachet
Auf, Campers! Here's The Good Part --
5.
Now, please, permit me to make the Prime Distinction; i.e.,
between my being anywhere near a Muslim who's bowing down toward a godam
rock in Arabia, pity's sake! and eating with them outside of said
worship, exactly as Jesus did with sinners, and for His reasons, and with His
help, please God -- Mk 2:13; see, also,
I beg you, the same scriptural scene depicted in the DVD Jesus of
Nazareth (Zefferelli: Mr. T's fave flick)
6.
I have no less than three Spirit-filled Christians who, I thank God so
much, devote much spiritual effort to making sure that I never violate the
Prime Distinction in any way, 'appearance of evil' or substance. Ditto:
'yard' Evans, who know all about it and encourage it.
7.
These Christians are mishes to all lost people, not just Muslims, as I
am and as I'm sure skyp readers are.
They are also rescuers I met in the clink 25-30 years ago.
8.
If a reader has never heard a mish-sermon at their churches which began
with the words"! will never forget the day the Lord first put a love for
the Muslims on my heart. . ." this is such a shame and so sad as to bring
me to tears. What can I say? In abject sadness, and scrambling for a
helpful thought, I might humbly suggest, with tears in my eyes, that they find
such a church, please God, and never leave it.
9.
What a shame if we Christians had never known a Muslim, never taken one
to dinner, never had a Muslim over for Christmas dinner or accepted an invite
to their house. How about this? Never taken our family, including young
children, to the Sudan and malaria and schistosomiasis, to preach the Gospel,
like one of my Spirit-filled advisors did in the 60's, oh about forty years
before Clueless George found Darfur on a map (Oh, lighten up George! It's all good. . . ). PL = Mish.
You see, Timmy? Oh, Sorry.
You see John, part of the confusion could be that readers mayn't know,
and why should they? -- that before I was a Pier I was a mish from a
family of mishes. That didn't stop when
I signed up here.
Wycliffe Bible Translators is the best most
sacrificial board in the world. They
make sixteenth cent. Jesuits look like pansies. In all my time in Africa, South
America and Asia, I always heard the question 'How's the movement going back in
the States?' the instant I told the in-countries I was a rescuer.
Sadly I had to tell them that the enemy of
babies in the US was the same enemy of their own missions: US suburban culture,
be it Fake Catholic or Fake Evangelical flavor. ... an enemy known to skyp
readers, of course.
I'm sad this confusion happened. But maybe the Lord could be 'writing straight
with crooked lines'? Maybe He'd like some discussion about this? DV I'll send the rest of the story when it's
time, but it’s way ugly for the Evan fellowship, sadly.
A Last Thought: someone will take over the US
soon. Nature abhors a vacuum and we
created one with cultural suicide; total collapse may tarry, but it's
inevitable; of all the possible non-Christian scourges the Lord could raise it
would be well within His economy to bring a non-Christian anti-abortion
dominating culture, e.g. Islam.
Did you know Falwell spent the last three
years of his life studying Islam and outreaching?
Not for lack of opportunity US Christians
have completely failed. The window is gone. Enslavement is a scripturally
logical punishment for a people who failed to free mom and baby slaves (Is.58)
when they had everything.
Cheerleading! Yay!
Still, John, I can't shake it, you know? That
whole my daughter thing. No one
feels this, obviously. Maybe they could
pretend? Fake it 'till you make it, and you will make it my yoga teacher.

war is the fruit of abortion, charity is the fruit of prayer, prayer is the fruit of silence.

On Another Topic
Could I ask a favor of my fellow
jailbirds: I haven't heard any news from a bunch of you, in ages! Could you please do John a favor and write
today? Just anything, OK? It could be details of jail life (with a
little discretion, a lot of this can be told, like it’s a soap opera or
something, you know? I know there are
tons of people who would like to hear from you.
DV next time I hope to give a few details about how blog-friendly info,
can come out of the beast with way less drama than you think, OK? But in the meanwhile please put quill to
parchment. Your mission to a dying
culture is still going on, maybe not like you'd expect, huh? But then Paul was dragged off to Rome in chains
and still witnessed and wrote a helluva letter.
Many people would like to hear.
Also, I believe it’s appropriate to give skyp readers at least a little
idea of the mess that's about to be unleashed on them, and any inmate has a
bird's eye view of that. Hope to hear
from you soon. Please.
Oh I do
love it. My favorite sign is this: WHY DO CATHOLICS AND JEWS, BUT NOT
MUSLIMS, KILL THEIR CHILDREN. Catholics
hate that sign but whataya gonna do when half the cars at the mill have rosary
beads hanging from the rear view mirrors?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And here’s Kathy’s reaction after reading that Obama had succeeded in
making it lawful for fifteen year old girls to be sterilized without their parents’
consent:
While the Church is enraptured with the
world's "social justice" programs, God suffers one unjust slap in the
face, after another.
The U.S. Supreme
Court says it's a "right" to kill the most innocent of people,
slaughtering the Unborn; starving the disabled; refusing care to the
elderly....and we bow the knee to Caesar, saying, "Yes, God, I know you
said we are to protect the innocent, but God, you must understand that we need
to obey the U.S. Supreme Court’s final authority on these matters...."
SLAP!!
You blush at the
idea of actively protesting the "Birth Control Mandate" that would
serve to try and force the godly to help buy aborting drugs for the ungodly.
You stand silent, supposing God cares about your rationalizations for not
getting involved to fight such an evil.
SLAP!! SLAP!!
"Yes, Lord,
you are the Creator who designs purpose and functionality in our bodies, but
Lord, you must understand, fertility can get in the way of our pleasures....
You want us to be happy, don't you; and all those young girls having to abstain
from sex, well, that would just be wrong, wouldn't it?"
SLAP!! SLAP!!
SLAP!!
And, "Lord,
I am personally opposed to divorce and homosexuality, but it would really be
'unloving' to denounce those who practice such things....Why, they might turn
away from the Gospel if they think it is too intolerant, and we know you 'love
the sinner' and just 'hate the sin,' right?"
SLAP!! SLAP!!!
SLAP!!!! SLAP!!!!
You tolerate
"church members" living in habitual sins of fornication, adultery,
murder and stealing from God, lest these "Christians" be offended and
forget to throw their silver in your offering plates.
When will pastors, teachers and Christians whose God-given consciences testify against these evils take a stand? You pretend to save people half-way across the globe, but leave your own flocks to be eaten by wolves.
You preen over your "missionary endeavors" and how much money you have raised to feed starving children elsewhere in the world, as if God could not provide in abundance to those people and nations that turn to Him. And all the while, you are blind hypocrites and you lie against Almighty God by denying justice to God and justice to those close at hand.

You set the wolf
at the door so that the faithful will suffer not merely in conscience, but as
prey before a state and world that stands unchallenged by Light from your
pulpits.
Blind thieves!!
How long will you go on, judging unjustly and teasing yourselves with the idea
that you are righteous before God? Get off your knees! (Psa 20:7-8)
Will not the God of all the earth judge even you?
Will not the God of all the earth judge even you?

I’m partial to Jesuits because my son is
one. I know, I know, but take it from
me, the new ones believe. Anyway, a
Jesuit wrote this a long time ago:
Let me show you a good way to ask for happiness even
in this world. It is a way to oblige God
to listen to you. Say to him earnestly:
either give me so much money that my heart will be satisfied, or inspire me with
such contempt for it that I no longer want it.
Either free me from poverty, or make it so pleasant for me that I would
not exchange it for all the wealth in the world. Either take away my suffering, or – which
would be to your greater glory – change it into delight for me, and instead of
causing me affliction, let it become a source of joy. You can take away the burden of my cross, or
you can leave it with me without my feeling its weight. You can extinguish the fire that burns me, or
you can let it burn in such a way that it refreshes me as it did the three
youths in the fiery furnace. I ask you
for either one thing or the other. What
does it matter in what way I am happy? If
I am happy through the possession of worldly goods, it is you I have to
thank. If I am happy when deprived of
them, it gives you greater glory and my thanks are all the greater.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The true shame in this holocaust falls on
those prolifers, that’s 97% of us, who would disagree with what Rev. Bray says
here following a story about Angel Dillard:
We are happy to urge folks to follow the calling
God has placed on their lives regarding the rescue of the innocents issue. Some
are called to talk, others to serve women in crisis pregnancies, some to blow
the damn places up, and others to terminate the terminators.
Give thanks
for His wonderful gifts and callings.

Whatdayaknow! Cardinal Dolan answered my Manhattan buddy’s
letter, posted in September’s newsletter:
office
of the cardinal
1011 first avenue new york, NY IOO22
August
23, 2012
Mr.
Scott Freeman
15
Cross Street
Williston
Park, NY 11596
Dear
Mr. Freeman:
Thank you most sincerely for your letter of
August 11, 2012. Your thoughtfulness is deeply appreciated
Please know how very grateful I am for your
kindness in telling me about yourself and your family. Be assured that I could
not agree with you more on the issues, and your having lived through the
atrocities of the Holocaust only make your arguments that much more formidable.
Now, to respond more directly to your
criticism. We live in a culture where, sadly, neither religion nor the natural
law means much to many people, some of them in elected office. Our best hope to
succeed in eventually reversing immoral practices and laws is to gradually win
our adversaries over to the truth. Trust me, this is not an easy feat. In doing
so, I will be happy to move ahead in incremental steps through compromise,
while we continue our efforts and discussions. As they say, half a loaf - for
now - is better than nothing, as Blessed John Paul II observed in Evangelium
Vitae. While you may disagree with this program, I am willing to take
whatever I can whenever it comes our way. Remember, too, that many of these
elected officials either profess no faith or are of faiths other than Catholic,
and this leaves less room to insist on an all or nothing at all approach. Many
would be only too happy to say, "Great, Cardinal, then it's nothing at
all."
Also, I see this as going about it the Lord's
way. In scripture, we see Our Lord doing His best to win over His adversaries
by presenting the truth.
As to the seating of elected officials in the
cathedral, it is the Church's sign of respect for the offices held by our
elected officials, and not a sign of agreement or satisfaction with the
particular officeholders and their positions. They do the same for me at public
events out of respect for the office of Archbishop of New York.
I trust this resolves your concerns.
With prayerful best wishes for the remainder
of a blessed summer, I am, \
Faithfully in
Christ,
[signed]

My
buddy doesn’t type, so he sends stuff to me.
And as Cal and Jimbo can attest, I never just type, I change. Here’s my
buddy’s response to the cardinal, followed by mine.
Cardinal Dolan,
Thank you,
effusively, for your reply to my August
11th letter. However, I am
intellectually (still) bedraggled, and confused. So, please help me to understand your
theological, spiritual road map “to the promised land,” heaven. As to Paragraph 3 of yours,
Please send me,
in its entirety, the text of John Paul II’s (in English of course), Evangelium Vitae, so that I can
scrutinize, and evaluate your interpretation of it, which you claim gives
Christians the right, when dealing with evil, to solve it, or try to censure
and stop its effects and spread, by employing the “half-a-loaf” approach.
Kindly give me a
copy (which might give me insight) as to what I consider to be your unGodly
conclusion, as to how you arrived at this apparent error on the Teachings of
our Holy Mother Church. Paragraph 4, yours,
In like manner,
please tell me how the Lord’s telling the truth justifies this “half-a-loaf”
approach.
Your letter has
not resolved my concerns. Please reply
promptly, so that I can readily fathom your workings.
Make the Church,
our Church, and all of its babies in its dominion, as I am.
Yours in Baby
Jesus’ name.
. . .Scott Free .
. . man
Scott Freeman
Cardinal Dolan,
Thank you for
your reply to my August 11th letter.
However, I am still confused.
Please help me understand your spiritual road map “to the promised
land,” heaven.
I perused John
Paul II’s Evangelium Vitae to see if
I would agree with you when you say the Pope there gives Christians the right
to oppose evil by employing the “half-a-loaf” approach. I have not been able to find that
passage. Could you be more specific?
Moreover, the
second sentence in your fourth paragraph seems to contradict the first. The Lord’s way was to present the truth, not
to present half of it.
I have always
considered the “half-a-loaf” interpretation of the teachings of Holy Mother
Church to be unGodly, and I am anxious to see why you believe that or to
discover where I went wrong.
Yours in Baby
Jesus’ name, Scott Free . . .man

This morning outside Planned Parenthood
a tiny and beautiful black girl stopped on her way to school. She pointed to the severed head on my
ABORTION KILLS CHILDREN sign.
“My mom had two
of those,” she said, “I didn’t speak to‘er for a week.”
After a brief sad
silence she continued, “She said she won’t have any kids by my step-dad, only
by my dad.”
That made her
feel better.

The Pro-Life Movement is Dead
Always
feeble and delicate, as pacifists are apt to be, the Pro-Life Movement in the
United States of America finally succumbed to the rigors of life in the modern
age and was pronounced dead. D-E-A-D.
Why did such a noble sounding endeavor with such a noble sounding name-PRO-O-O-O-LIFE! - die?
Simple: the "pro-life" movement finally proved it was not pro-life at all. In the face of real danger created by the Federal Access To Clinic Entrances Act, the "pro-life" movement proved it had all along been the "cover-your-ass-while-you-salve-your-conscience" movement.
Look at the record. In 1973, the "pro-life" movement began what was claimed to be a good faith attempt to reveal the Will of God concerning the slaughter of His children. In the subsequent two and a half decades, the pro-life movement took a decent and orderly series of actions.
During that period, every ordinary method of redress of grievance was attempted: Presidents were elected, majorities in Congress were elected, lawsuits were filed, millions of letters were written, millions of prayers were said, thousands were arrested in non-violent civil disobedience. And, like clockwork, each move taken by the "pro-life" movement was countered by a Federal government controlled by people hell bent on slaughtering God's children in defiance of the "pro-life" movement.
Finally, when the Federal Access to Clinic Entrances Act made the next logical non-violent resistance procedure so costly as to be tantamount to life in prison, the "pro-life" movement shrank back in fear and loathing. And in so doing, the "pro-life" movement showed its true colors. Instead of being those who, like their namesakes in the letter to the Hebrews, do not shrink back in the face of death, the "pro-life" movement proved it had been what the world claimed all along-a self-serving, hypocritical manifestation of willful man's attempt to control other people, rather than an actual outworking of the actual Will of the actual Creator of the actual universe.

The line between obedience and cowardice
In
a government like the one given to the people of the United States of America,
there is always a thin line separating necessary obedience from the rankest
cowardice. When a government derives its authority from the people, as this one
does, the people of necessity must be willing to cooperate with majority
decisions for the sake of lawful order. Up to a point. But when majority
decisions become evil and utterly contrary to the instructions given by God in
Holy Scripture, those who claim to live to worship and obey God are thrust into
a fateful decision. If they delay withdrawing their cooperation from an evil
government one second longer than that which is mandated by God Himself, such
people enter into rebellion against God just as if they had never known Him.
The history of the "pro-life" movement clearly demonstrates that, up to a point, each stage of the resistance was an attempt to follow the decent and orderly duly authorized mechanisms of resistance to government turned tyrannical. But the day came when the results of all those twenty-five years of decent and orderly resistance were plain to see. Having done everything that decent and orderly protest required, the children of God were being slaughtered with as much impunity and with as much government protection as in the beginning of the protest movement. At that point in time, the "pro-life" movement was forced to ask itself this question: could, in good faith and good conscience, these same procedures continue to be relied on to bring about change, even when those procedures had proven themselves to be incapable of protecting God's children? In other words, can we keep doing the same things over and over, yet expect different results?
Different results require different procedures. To ignore this fundamental natural law is to demonstrate either extraordinary ignorance or an actual desire to avoid different results.
But wait! If the "pro-life" movement was actually concerned about God's children being slaughtered, what could make them decide to avoid different procedures? What could make them decide the "pro-life" movement was only authorized to keep doing over and over things that had proven themselves incapable of protecting the lives of God's children?
All the easy procedures had been tried, that's why. Twenty-five years of decent and orderly political protest had exhausted all the easy, non-violent mechanisms of redress of grievance. All that remained were the hard ways, the painful ways, the deadly ways.
The history of the "pro-life" movement clearly demonstrates that, up to a point, each stage of the resistance was an attempt to follow the decent and orderly duly authorized mechanisms of resistance to government turned tyrannical. But the day came when the results of all those twenty-five years of decent and orderly resistance were plain to see. Having done everything that decent and orderly protest required, the children of God were being slaughtered with as much impunity and with as much government protection as in the beginning of the protest movement. At that point in time, the "pro-life" movement was forced to ask itself this question: could, in good faith and good conscience, these same procedures continue to be relied on to bring about change, even when those procedures had proven themselves to be incapable of protecting God's children? In other words, can we keep doing the same things over and over, yet expect different results?
Different results require different procedures. To ignore this fundamental natural law is to demonstrate either extraordinary ignorance or an actual desire to avoid different results.

The hard truth about God's plan for government
Those who
signed the Declaration of Independence explained this phase of resistance to
government tyranny in the following words: "But when a long train of
abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to
reduce [the people] under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their
duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future
security."
Now that the easy things have all been done, and the present evil regime has made it clear it has no intention of allowing God's plan for government to be restored in this nation, the time for remembering the self-evident truth defined in the Declaration of Independence has arrived. But instead of stepping up and accepting responsibility for doing what comes next, the "pro-life" movement has shrunk back into a cloud of denial, pretending it is God's will for His people to tolerate the slaughter of the least of these, rather than harken to the words writ in blood by the forefathers of the United States of America. In so doing, the "pro-life" movement branded itself with an undeniable mark of cowardice.
Anybody who has paid attention for the last ten years could have seen it coming.
