I. Persecution of Christians has just lurched forward to a new, dangerous level.
Secular people are soon going to be seriously considering Christians to be such a threat to the rest of society that they need to be restrained and/or controlled. At this point, the persecution foretold in Revelation and Daniel will be imminent.
In this vein, the House of Representatives has just passed an onerous "Hate Crimes" bill which could threaten the ability of every Christian and every ministry to speak the Biblical truth about homosexuality. Let us review the facts.
NEWS BRIEF: "House OKs Bill to Expand Hate Crimes Law to Attacks on Gays", Fox News, May 4, 2007
"WASHINGTON — House Democrats ignored a White House veto threat on Thursday and narrowly passed a bill that would add gender and sexual orientation to the list of hate crimes punishable by federal law."
For a couple of decades, gay proponents have attempted to use "Hate Crimes" as the weapon by which they could penalize Fundamental Christians for their Biblical belief that homosexuality is a very serious sin, a sin which the Bible calls an abomination. (Leviticus 20:13)
During the Clinton Presidency, numerous attempts were made to pass such legislation, but they were stopped by a Republican majority in Congress. However, the new Democrat majority in both houses of Congress wasted no time passing this horrific legislation.
Make no mistake, this bill threatens Christians and non-Christians alike, for it expands the Federal prosecutorial reach into state and local legal matters! One of the most successful obstacles to a federal dictatorship which our Founding Fathers wove into our system of government is the stipulation that the Federal Government had only certain powers, while all authority not specifically given the Feds was reserved for the individual states.
This legislation allows Federal authorities to intervene in state and local matters, as this next segment amply demonstrates.
"The floor debate took on a nasty tone before a 237-180 margin approved legislation that would increase federal law enforcement presence in local prosecutions involving bias-motivated attacks."
This bill will set the stage for the Federal Government to attack Christians all across the board all at once, which is something dictators love to do! Adolf Hitler proved that using militant gays to attack the Old World Order was a very effective weapon; he used the Brown Shirts vigorously to tear down the old political system in Germany so he could install his version of the German New World Order. (NEWS1723; For a detailed understanding of the homosexuality of the Nazi Brown Shirts and other Nazi gay organizations, read "The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality In The Nazi Party", p. 35, 41, 197-198)
Gay activists were ecstatic with the passage of this "Hate Crimes" bill!
"This is an important vote of conscience, of a statement of what America is, a society that understands that we accept differences," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., the only openly gay man in the House, presided over the chamber as the final vote was taken."
Can you imagine this slap in the face? Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., was allowed to preside over the House chamber as the final vote was taken.
The openly gay political activist group, Log Cabin Republicans, were also pleased.
NEWS BRIEF: "Log Cabin Praises House Passage of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act", Log Cabin Republican Email Alert, May 4, 2007
"Log Cabin Republicans praise the House of Representatives bi-partisan passage of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act (H.R. 1592) .... Log Cabin thanks Representative Mark Kirk (R-IL) for leading Republican efforts to pass this important legislation,” said Log Cabin President Patrick Sammon. “We also praise the 25 Republicans voting in favor of this legislation. Their votes send a powerful message that every American should be protected from violent crime'.”
The fact of the matter is that homosexuals are already protected against violence by laws which protect any American citizen against violent acts. There is absolutely no need to pass a special protective act to protect homosexuals; therefore, all discerning citizens must understand that this bill is being passed in order to advance the Illuminati cause on at least two major fronts.
1) To allow Federal take-over of state and local legal matters. President Clinton was the first Chief Executive to launch a systematic effort to "Federalize" all state and local police forces. This bill will provide yet another avenue for the Federal Government to intrude into the affairs of the state and local governments, a pre-requisite if the Federal Government is to become the dictatorship it is planned to be.
2) To allow the Federal Government to come after genuine Christians whose belief and statements about homosexuality is based upon the Bible. We may not see this type of persecution to occur under a Bush Administration, which depends heavily upon Christian support; but, we could easily see such persecution under a Democrat Administration, which many pundits now are predicting for 2008.
We have posted an excellent article on this subject, from Berit Kjos, and we encourage you to read it.
"Why Hate crime' laws would ban Biblical Christianity", Guest Column By Berit Kjos - The real danger of 'hate crime' laws is that they criminalize thoughts and beliefs

Now, let us return to this featured article.
“ 'Current law allows local law enforcement agencies to receive federal assistance in the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes based on race, religion, and national origin. Modernizing existing law is critical to ensure that our local law enforcement agencies are given every tool available to prosecute violent crime', said Sammon." (Ibid.)
Some opponents to this bill understand the Big Brother implications of this bill.
"Rep. House Minority Leader John Boehner and other opponents warned that while intentions may have been good, the legislation would criminalize political speech and personal thoughts."
" 'This unconstitutional bill would effectively give the federal government authority to punish American citizens for 'thought crimes' — a concept that has Big Brother written all over it. There are already state and local laws on the books that punish violent crime against any and all Americans," said Boehner, R-Ohio."
A similar bill is winding its way through the Senate.
