The Handwriting Is On The Wall

The handwriting is on the wall. You need only reflect on how a screaming mob managed to conjure up total surrender from Indiana Gov. Mike Pence so he would reject that state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Catholic Charities is closing its adoption services where same-sex marriage laws pressure them to reject their church’s teachings about marriage and family. Owners of businesses that serve the wedding industry are being forced to either scrap their consciences or shut their doors. Anti-discrimination lawsuits against churches that don’t perform same-sex marriages will undoubtedly increase.

  1. The writing on the wall is the work of more than 70 years. It was then that powerful utopian forces began working to transform America from one nation under God into a Never-Never land of emotion-driven, emasculated male and masculinized female bots. A very similar transformation happened in Germany immediately prior to the Nazis taking over that country and in Russia prior to its takeover by Communists.

    The first demands for normalization of lesbianism, sodomy, transgender, same-sex marriage, sex reassignment surgery, and the right to cross-dress were not made in “scientifically enlightened” post-Christian America but in Communist controlled Russia, as revealed in the article, “1920s Soviet Union: Rights for Lesbians, Transgenders, Transsexuals.” It was also reported that masculinized, cross-dressing lesbians were rewarded with influential positions of authority and influence throughout academia, the Red Army, and in the cultural arena:

    “…women of the masculinized type (cross-dressing army commanders, for instance) were considered with fascination and indulgence.” (workers.org)

    The same article bashes backward Christian-Judeo America for not allowing the mainstreaming of gender-bending and perversion:

    “That same year (1923) in the U.S., where anti-sodomy laws aimed to padlock closet doors, the FBI labeled anarchist Emma Goldman the most dangerous woman in America because of her vocal support for gay rights and other forms of social equality.”

    According to a pamphlet entitled “The Sexual Revolution in Russia,” Soviet sexologists in the 1920s participated in the international movement for sexual reform:

    ” Soviet legislation bases itself on the following principle: it declares the absolute non-interference of the State and society into sexual matters as long as nobody is injured, and no ones interests are encroached upon. Concerning homosexuality, sodomy, and various other forms of sexual gratification, which are set down in European legislation as offenses against public morality—Soviet legislation treats these the same as so-called natural intercourse.” (Soviet Union in the 1920s: Scientific, not Utopian, workers.org)

    The Communist fantasy of a Godless, morals free utopia, populated by androgynous New Man collapsed into a hellish nightmare. It was a scene straight out of Bedlam: while at least sixty-million men, women and children were being tortured and murdered, hordes of conscienceless children of the Mother-Father State were visiting havoc and crime upon cities and towns even as an epidemic of lying, lawlessness, sex slavery, prostitution, bathroom culture and other forms of gross debauchery harnessed with outright chaos over-spread Russia.

    After years of revolution and famine the economy was severely damaged, and with the death of the family–the building block of society—both economy and culture collapsed. Too late, fantasy-believing Communist planners realized that without the family, there is no future.

    As the full-force of utopian madness fell upon Russia, revulsion and horror set in allowing a semblance of sanity to return, thus in a desperate attempt to revive the family, attempts were made to rein in easy divorce, abortion on demand and sexual debauchery. Divorce and abortion were made more difficult to acquire and by 1923, the homosexual right to harass straight men for sex became a crime. Then in 1927, the right to engage in sodomy was criminalized as was the right to keep bachi–cross-dressed, feminized boy dancers used as prostitutes. The death knell rang in 1934 when both homosexuality and prostitution were declared crimes punishable by up to 8 years in prison. (Women in the Soviet Union, Jen Pickard, Youth for International Socialism)

    The Soviet Unions birth-to-death rate continued to fall however, so by the 1980’s Gorbachev attempted yet more reforms. In a desperate bid to undo dysfunctional gender-bending and restore natural male-female relations in hope of bringing the family back to life, a course entitled, “The Ethics and Psychology of Family Life” was introduced into schools and shown on television. Its objective was to reinforce traditional roles. Teachers were urged to “train and train again, girls to be girls and boys to be boys.”(ibid)

    Shortly after President Reagan made his now famous evil empire speech March 8, 1983, the Soviet Union imploded.
    Despite all reform efforts, Russia’s birth-to-death replacement rate continued to fall. Confronted by the chilling prospect of a “dead” Russia, in a last ditch effort Vladimir Putin adopted a pro-birth policy that pays families to have at least a second child if not more. Additionally, stay-at-home mothers receive 40% of their former salary and families with two children will receive a lump sum of $9000.

    Even as a dying Russia strives mightily to restore and protect the institutions of traditional marriage and family so that it might live, America—under pressure from obviously insane, godless Progressive utopianists—is steadfastly killing these vital life-giving institutions while simultaneously waging a war of attrition against their source: the Bible and orthodox Christianity. In the name of scientism, Darwinism, progress, change, tolerance, inclusion, diversity, and orientation, America is casting herself into the very grave from which Russia seeks escape, hence the writing on the wall.
