Christianizing the Slaves

As early as 1800 a bill was presented in the North Carolina General Assembly to “regulate the divine worship” of slaves, the intent of which was to require the master’s presence at plantation services. The American South had inherited the British colonial labor system which was supplemented by New England’s slave trade bringing more Africans to our shores, and did its best to bring them to the Christian faith.

Christianizing the Slaves:

“In 1859 it was “mooted on the streets…as to whether the African churches under the care of the North Carolina Conference ought not to be suppressed, and the colored congregations be allowed to worship only in the same churches with white people.” The North Carolina Christian Advocate made a strong appeal for the Negro churches on the ground that the type of preaching which appealed to slaves would be distasteful to whites and that there was not sufficient room in the white churches to accommodate the Negroes.

The Methodists also maintained African missions in the State, located in sections where the Negro population was greatest. The missionaries worked with the plantation Negroes, organizing them into classes, appointing class leaders from among them, conducting Sunday schools and prayer meetings for them. The Presbyterian, Lutheran, Moravian and Episcopal churches also made a serious effort to give religious instruction to the slaves belonging to their communicants, but they were not as aggressive in Christianizing the Negroes as were the Baptists and Methodists.

Many masters felt, as did a correspondent of the North Carolina Presbyterian, that, next to their children, their servants had “the highest claims upon their benevolent feelings.” Some masters insisted that their slaves attend family prayers once a day; some built churches for the exclusive use of the plantation. And black and white worshipped together as one family. In 1827, Judge Cameron erected a chapel, “a neat and pleasant place of worship,” on his plantation between Hillsboro and Roxboro. That year the Bishop baptized twenty-six, only one of whom was a white child.”

John Solomon and the Center for Public Integrity continue to disappoint. They seem congenitally predisposed to conclude that the Project Gunwalker scandal is proof that we need to give the ATF more power and authority. To that end, they even haul out our old serial perjurer friend Waco Jim Cavanaugh in this article, "Border agents unwittingly freed suspects near border with weapons from federal sting," with the subtitle, "Episode highlights lack of tools, coordination in gun trafficking fight."

Really? I would have thought it would have raised more critical questions about "Gunwalker," but then I'm not partially funded by donations from gun prohibitionists.

Senate GOP Demand Balanced Budget Amendment for Raising Debt Ceiling

View Image









"Senate Republicans are preparing to tell President Obama that they want a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) to the Constitution passed in Congress in exchange for raising the statuary debt ceiling above $14.2 trillion.

“My hope is that we would force a vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment as a condition to voting on the debt ceiling,” Sen. John Cornyn (R.-Tex.) told HUMAN EVENTS. “By next week, or shortly thereafter, we will have all 47 Republicans unified behind the effort, and then begin to reach out to our Democratic colleagues.”

A BBA would force the federal government to balance the federal spending to incoming revenue each year and cap spending at 18% of the gross domestic product (GDP). For the current Fiscal Year (FY 2011), the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that government spending will be $1.4 trillion more than revenue and account for almost 25% of the GDP."

U.S. General Wesley Clark (Ret.), explains that the Bush Administration planned to take out 7 countries in 5 years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran (2007 up to 2012)

General Wesley Clark, U.S. Army (ret) — Former Commanding General of U.S. European Command, which included all American military activities in the 89 countries and territories of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Additionally, Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), which granted him overall command of NATO military forces in Europe 1997 – 2001. Awarded Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Purple Heart for his service in Viet Nam and numerous subsequent medals and citations. Graduated valedictorian of his class at West Point. * Video interview ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos 3/5/06:

“I think when you look at this country, right now, we need a 2-party system that works. We need Congress to do its job. We need real investigation of some of the abuses of authority that are apparently going on at the Executive branch. … We’ve never finished the investigation of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intelligence information it had. The evidence seems pretty clear to me. I’ve seen that for a long time.”

The Muslim Brotherhood in America

Plans for Subversion

Mike Scruggs

Part 3 of a Series

The extensive Muslim Brotherhood (MB) plan to subvert American society and government and destroy its Western based civilization is not a conspiracy theory.

It is an FBI documented fact based on a treasure trove of Muslim Brotherhood records, communications, and planning papers confiscated during a 2004 FBI raid on the Annandale, Virginia, home of a Muslim Brotherhood agent plotting to sabotage the 4.3-mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland. The documents confirmed what FBI and CIA agents had long believed—that the Muslim Brotherhood’s primary objective in the United States is to destroy our Constitutional system of laws and implement Islamic Law (Sharia) under a global Islamic government.

Muslim Brotherhood ties to the Hamas Palestinian terrorist organization were confirmed during the 2007 Holy Land Foundation Trial. The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) was the largest Muslim Charity in North America. The U.S. Attorney’s office in Dallas, however, found overwhelming evidence that most HLF funds were being funneled to Hamas terrorists engaged in violent Jihad against Israel.

Evidence continues to mount that the Muslim Brotherhood, the largest Islamic political organization in the world, is engaged in “civilization” Jihad against Western culture and governments. Their primary methods are deceit and stealth infiltration of Western governments and institutions, but they fully approve of violent Jihad when it furthers their plans and purposes. The Brotherhood (Ikhwan) created Hamas and Islamic Jihad as terrorist arms and have considerable influence over al-Qaeda and even the Iranian-backed Shiite Hezbollah terrorist forces.

According to investigative journalist and author, Paul Sperry, every major Islamic organization in the United States is under Muslim Brotherhood control. All are engaged in informational deception about Islam and Sharia Law and play some part in MB plans for civilization Jihad against American culture, law, and Judeo-Christian influence.

In 1980, there were 481 officially recognized mosques in the United States. By 2005, there were 1,209, and the number is still growing. More than 80 percent of them were financed by oil money from Saudi Arabia and are under the control of MB front organizations in America. They teach fundamentalist Wahhabi doctrines that are inherently anti-Jewish and anti-Christian. Mosques are much more political than American churches, and the imams often excoriate Jewish and Christian influences on American foreign policy. Sermons that are given in Arabic are especially aggressive in calling for Jihad against Israel, the United States, and Western civilization. This worldview is also taught in MB controlled schools.

The Muslim Brotherhood plan to dominate North America has five phases. The first phase is to establish Muslim institutions and implant key MB leadership on a very discreet or secret basis. The second phase is to gradually escalate the visibility of Muslim influence in society by gaining public sympathy and recognition by government, religious, and academic institutions. This includes infiltration of various levels and sectors of the government, including the Armed Forces. The final part of this phase is forming a secret shadow government within the government. Phase three is now in progress. It is to escalate their demands using mass media and the influence of infiltrated government, educational, and religious organizations.

Phase four is open confrontation with government through political pressure and mass demonstrations. This phase includes training in the use of weapons both at home and abroad. Phase five is to seize power and establish an Islamic nation. The U.S. Constitution and system of laws would be replaced by Sharia and institutionalized Muslim dominance over American culture, religion, and the economy.

FBI archives from the 2004 Annandale raid are thoroughly informative on MB subversion and infiltration objectives. Higher immigration and birth rates are cited as an important tool. Assimilation except for the purpose of infiltration and political and social influence is not a goal. One of the goals of the MB is to increase the Islamic identity and doctrinal adherence of all American Muslims. Additional American mosques will symbolize Islamic dominance.

Co-opting American political leadership by relentless propaganda and misinformation on the nature of Islam is a major strategy for MB success. They have been so successful at this that FBI and CIA reports contrary to the counterfactual propaganda image of Islam as “a religion of peace and tolerance hijacked by a few radicals” are not welcomed by top levels of American political leadership.

Subverting the U.S. educational system is a major goal. Their plan takes advantage of the slavish American media and academic preoccupation with multiculturalism, diversity, tolerance, and political correctness. This even includes controlling the language of the debate, eliminating terms like “terrorism.”

Considerable emphasis is placed on infiltrating and neutralizing American religious institutions! The most vulnerable are those whose doctrinal standards have eroded to accommodate universalism and theological pluralism.

The lure of billions in oil money is being used to infiltrate American financial institutions by demanding Sharia compliant financial instruments. This is a Trojan Horse that eventually controls all financial decisions.

Most MB subversion and propaganda techniques are strikingly similar to Cold War Communist and New Left methodology. It would be easy to conclude that Saul Alinky’s Rules for Radicals must be almost as popular as the teachings of Muhammad with MB ideologues. The techniques of leftist “community organization” are also prominent: unremitting claims of victimization, continual escalation of demands, a constant stream of lawsuits (lawfare), and relentless smearing of critics with almost automatic charges racism, bigotry, xenophobia, and Islamophobia.

Deborah Pauly, Patriot: Muslims Go Home!

David Yeagley

She’s only a city councilman in Villa Park, California, but Deborah Pauly gives new meaning to the American blonde (dyed or natural). She’s a daring, heroic patriot. She’s already earned her death threats–from oedipal white liberals shilling for Sharia. Why?

Councilman Pauly wants to give Islam the boot. She purposely held a public meeting outside a Muslim “charity” event, and there Pauly called that event “pure, unadulterated evil.” Two of the speakers at the Muslim “charity” event are known terrorist advocates, and the event was put on by The Islamic Circle of North America, a famous fundraiser for the Holy Land Foundation as well as a blatant HAMAS supporter. Federal agents have been watching ICNA for over a decade. These are precisely the kind of “charity” organizations that use the willing “good” Muslims to front their fund-raising for terrorists. Unadulterated evil, indeed.
