Who Is Funding Attacks on Christians?

[Soldier4Christ]

The full-page ad in the New York Times featured head shots of Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, and Pat Robertson. Above them, in giant type, were the words, “Meet America’s Most Influential Stem Cell Scientists.” The ad charges evangelicals with trying to turn America into a theocracy and outlaw scientific research.

This ad was one of many hysterical, vicious, and untruthful ads paid for by a group called the Campaign to Defend the Constitution, or “DefCon.” But far from defending the Constitution, DefCon, which does not have to report who they are or who is paying for these ads, is an extreme left-wing group intent on demonizing religious conservatives.

Promoting embryo-destructive stem-cell research is just one of its causes. DefCon also supports abortion, special rights for homosexuals, a radical animal-rights agenda, and force-feeding school kids an uncritical view of Darwinian evolution.

Those views, of course, are standard fare for the left today. But much more disturbing is the manner in which this secretive campaign portrays people of faith. On its website, it accuses Christians of “hijacking” the federal courts and of wanting to achieve “absolute power over all branches of government . . . breaking the rules to get it.” We’re accused of trying to make medical decisions for women and turning homosexuals into second-class citizens.

In the school classroom, we zealots are scheming to replace “scientific knowledge with religious ideology.” Moreover, we are plotting to use the government to “proselytize or to infringe on the religious freedom of all Americans.” Wow.

Well, who is funding the spewing of all this hatred and deceit? It takes a lot of digging to find out.

One major source is the Tides Center, funded by the far-left Tides Foundation, which helps to fund the ACLU, PETA, pro-abortion groups [NARAL], the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, Planned Parenthood, Moveon.org, and the Council for American-Islamic Relations, which has links to terrorism.

The coordinator for DefCon is David Fenton of Fenton Communications, a public relations firm with a history of creating front groups and using smear tactics and bogus science. Years ago Fenton served as a lobbyist for the Sandinistas and today helps publicize the rantings of anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan. And it was Fenton who launched the Evangelical Climate Initiative, an apparent attempt to split evangelicals.

Whatever its campaign may be, DefCon’s tactics are the same, says Bruce Chapman of the Discovery Institute: that is, accuse opponents of being reckless, far right religious theocrats, and get liberal Christians—some of them unsuspecting, others not—on their side. No one in the press has tried to expose this secretive enterprise, which is spending millions. Why not? Well, we had better start asking the hard questions ourselves and expose the backers—men like George Soros—who give money to these kinds of groups.

Brothers and Sisters,

It is becoming obvious that Christians are being attacked more and more in this part of the world. BUT, we are still relatively free to distribute the things of the LORD and worship the LORD. We still have many things to give thanks for.

As for me, I plan to keep standing for the things of the LORD as long as the LORD lets me or as long as I live. I feel it is a great honor to be an ambassador for the LORD. It is very dangerous in many places of the world for a Christian to stand up and claim Christ, and it might get that way in this part of the world. If so, I know many Christians will keep standing, and I plan to be one of them with GOD'S help and strength.

If anyone would have told me 50 years ago what things would be like today, I would not have believed it. The devil is running more and more rampant - seeking and devouring everything in his path. Christians have at least slowed him down, and the devil doesn't like that. I hope and pray that GOD gives all of us strength and guidance to keep standing until JESUS comes to take us home. There are still hosts of lost people who desperately need JESUS, even in this part of the world. If GOD calls us to go, it should be an honor to yield and go - even if it means danger or death. We must always remember that death for a Christian means "absent from the body - present with the LORD." In my heart I know that hosts of people are still being saved. The Heavenly Hosts rejoice with every person who accepts JESUS CHRIST as Lord and Saviour, and so should we rejoice!

We must never forget that this world is not our home - we are just passing through in this short life - and our Citizenship is in Heaven. I know that GOD has work for all of us to do in this short life, and it should be a matter of joy to yield and do whatever HE wants us to do.

Thanks be unto GOD for HIS unspeakable GIFT!, JESUS CHRIST, our Lord and Saviour forever!

We must also remember that we serve a LIVING SAVIOUR and we are alive in HIM for eternity.

Love In Christ,
Tom

John 1:1-4 NASB  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

John 11:25 NASB  Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

John 14:6-7 NASB  Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him."

Galatians 2:20 NASB  "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

1 John 1:1-4 NASB  What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life -- and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us -- what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.

Amen brother we have the Lord on our side. With Him on our side nothing can stand against us.

Hey PR,

It's probably Arab money from the 22,000 sons of the leadership (unknown to them) who would like to destroy America from the inside.  The ACLU subscribes for sure.  Our freedoms actually encourage this - trusting souls that we are.

Similar techniques were used by Communist nations during the recent cold war.  A fiction book called "The Spike" - Arnald De Borchgrave - who  started the Washington Times - proposed a cogent scenario whereby Senate aids influenced their bosses in destructive ways.  Great book and probably based on fact.  Great newspaper too.  The only conservative daily in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

That I don't doubt. There are many Muslims infiltrating everything in the U.S. The ACLU is full of islamic lawyers, some of the senate aids are islamic, and now there is a muslim that is running for the senate. If he makes it he will be the first muslim senator in the U.S. but I am sure that he will not be the last.


I am not so sure that it is due to being trusting but rather that many in the U.S. are blind to what is happening and even those that do see, do not understand the gravity of it. Many Americans are unable to see the overall big picture and how it will affect them in the near future. They are too content with the way things are and are in the false security that it will always be like this.
