Designated by Congress as the “National House of Prayer” and often identified as the church of our national leaders, the National Cathedral in Washington DC celebrated Wednesday’s Supreme Court decisions regarding same-sex marriage by ringing its bells for 45 minutes at noon ET, followed by a celebratory prayer service that evening.

After being notified of the Supreme Court’s ruling, our putative president made a congratulatory call from Air Force One to the plaintiffs in California’s Proposition 8 case, a call that was also broadcast on MSNBC, the unofficial mouthpiece for the administration.

Welcome to American Babylon, 2013

Those who have been paying attention to the systematic attacks on the moral fabric of our nation understand that what is taking place in America has absolutely nothing to do with “equal rights” or “gender equality.” This should be especially evident in light of the fact that homosexuals comprise a mere three percent of our population, yet have somehow managed to cause an entire nation to redefine traditional marriage between a man and a woman. How is this possible? The answer lies in the larger picture.

The internal takeover of America

America has become a captured operation. Forced acceptance of same-sex unions is part of a larger plan that was outlined and detailed nearly a century ago by Antonio Gramsci, a well known Marxist. Through his theory of cultural hegemony, a method for a Marxist takeover of a capitalist nation like the United States was only possible from within. A key component to this takeover was - and continues to be - radically changing the culture and moral sensitivities of our country. Destroy traditional and sacred moral values based on Judeo-Christian principles and replace them with immoral and un-Godly laws and evil disguised as tolerance.
For clarification purposes, a brief definition of terms is warranted. Socialism calls for government control of industry, including the nationalization of key industries and national resources. The terms Communism and Marxism are interchangeable, and are hard-core forms of socialism. Progressives themselves take on various forms of Socialism and Marxism or Communism. The larger picture, however, is that Socialism, Marxism and Communism are mere stepping stones to the larger agenda of a unified world or system of global governance.
The Gramsci model is explained in great detail in two books of critical importance, The Naked Communist by W. Cleon Skousen and The Naked Truth (The Naked Communist Revisited) by James C. Bowers. Both books focus on the forty-five Communist goals first published in 1958. Many of the 45 goals have been accomplished with little to no resistance right in front of our eyes, by our own self-proclaimed moral leadership.
A very important aspect of those goals focuses on breaking down all cultural standards of morality, including the promotion of all forms of homosexuality, promiscuity and degeneracy as “normal and healthy.” To assist with this task, all religious institutions were and are to be infiltrated by those adherent to the Marxist-Communist mindset, the Holy Bible is to be discredited, and traditional doctrine replaced by a mandate of inclusion and tolerance of behavior which was once considered abhorrent. Removal of the Judeo-Christian obstacles in America would sufficiently soften the population to the ultimate acceptance of a global mindset and ultimately, the subjugation to a single global authority. This process, however, could not be done overnight as the Americans of the 1950s would never accept it or allow it to happen.

Attacking the children of America

The children of the United States were and are considered to be one of the most important “resources” for the takeover of America. Accordingly, schools had to be infiltrated by the agents of the Marxists-Communist mindset, today called the Progressives, and the minds of the children “prepared” or educated in accordance with a tolerance and blind acceptance toward Marxism and Communism.
It is no wonder, then, that today most people who have been educated and are of age have no idea that for years, it was illegal to import anything into the United States that was produced in Communist China.* It is no wonder that the U.S. educational system from the 1960s forward has promoted immorality under the guise of tolerance, and has not only allowed, but forced parents to accept curriculums of abhorrent behavior be permitted to pollute the minds of our young people.
At the same time curriculums of moral corruption are being taught in our schools, the removal of God was necessary as it is antithetical to the debauchery of tolerance and acceptance. Like a cancer, this process has spread not only through our public elementary and secondary schools, but exponentially into our colleges and universities. Examples of such “luminaries” include Bill Ayers, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and others who openly embrace Lucifer (yes, Lucifer - The Saul Alinsky book Rules for Radicals was dedicated to Lucifer) and eugenicist Margaret Sanger as role models.
As we are busy working multiple jobs just to put food on the table, we have been deliberately distracted away from what is being taught to our children.

The bells - the final alarm

We Americans have pushed the “snooze” button on our alarm clocks once too often, and to the many who have just awakened to the bells at the National Cathedral - consider that to be the final alarm of the snooze cycle. The normalization of homosexual marriage is a sin against God and nature and historically, one that does not go unpunished. We did not, however, arrive here overnight.
It was in 1986, a mere 27 years ago, that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld state’s rights to enact sodomy laws in the landmark case of Bowers v. Hardwick. Citing then Chief Justice Warren Burger, “To hold that the act of homosexual sodomy is somehow protected as a fundamental right would be to cast aside millennia of moral teaching.” That fragile thread of morality lasted only 17 years. In 2003, the Bowers v. Hardwick was overturned by the Supreme Court decision inLawrence v. Texas, which struck down the sodomy law in Texas and, by extension, invalidated sodomy laws in other states (as cited in Wikipedia).
Although it was contended at the time that the latter case had nothing to do with same-sex marriage, Supreme Court Justice Antonion Scalia astutely saw through the smoke screen and during oral arguments, flatly admonished anyone who would listen that the decision would open the floodgates toward the recognition of same-sex marriage. And so it did.

The end game

Legalizing same-sex sexual activity and marriage is but one of numerous attacks against America from within. Along with the Balkanization of America through the passage of amnesty to illegal aliens, the Communist-Marxist Progressives have set us on an irreversible path to the destruction of our national sovereignty and moral heritage for the purposes of the larger goal of a single global system of governance and finance. Superintending over this destruction is none other than Barack Hussein Obama, a/k/a Barry Soetoro.
To those American conservatives who considered talk of his eligibility to be nothing more than a distraction at the time of his arrival onto the national political scene, I would ask you to consider just how far down the path of self-destruction we have come under his reign. Perhaps you can call a friend, or make a presentation, or blog posting about your outrage over the Supreme Court decisions this week that paved the way for homosexual unions to be the norm. That is, of course, if you dare, with the NSA conducting surveillance of you and the IRS watching your every move.
Standing outside the National Cathedral on Wednesday, you heard the bell toll and perhaps wondered why, or how, or for whom the bell tolled. Well, it tolls for us - all of us who dare to want our nation, our morals, and our “norms” back.

Editors note.....In Canada same sex marriage has been legalized for some time now.

Students: Professor Forced us to Wear Gay' Ribbons
Jun 29th, 2013
Daily NewsWND - Radio
Categories: Today's Headlines;Contemporary Issues

Several students are demanding a Tennessee community college psychology professor be disciplined for persistently pushing her pro-”gay” views on her students and even forcing students to identify themselves as in favor of the LGBT agenda in a mandatory project.

The Alliance Defense Fund is representing the students who objected to the classroom tactics of Columbia State Community College professor Linda Brunton. The students say any views opposed to Brunton’s were not welcome, and any opposition to the homosexual agenda was considered to be the thinking of “uneducated bigots” who “attack homosexuals with hate.”

But one assignment in particular triggered the protests.

“She assigned the class to wear rainbow coalition ribbons in support of homosexual behavior for at least a day on campus and wherever they went off campus. Students then had to write a reaction paper from wearing those ribbons and how they were allegedly discriminated against while wearing the ribbons,” Alliance Defense Fund attorney David Hacker told WND. “Several students contacted us, just objecting to this. It’s a very clear case of a government official, a state college professor, compelling students to speak in a way they disagree with.”

Hacker said it’s fine for teachers to have students consider ideas from different perspectives, but Brunton clearly crossed the line.

“Colleges and professors can require students to play devil’s advocate in a paper or argue a position in class that they don’t necessarily agree with, as long as it’s an academic exercise,” Hacker said.

“Once the professor here, Ms. Brunton, required the students to advocate a message outside the classroom, that’s compelled speech and it’s clearly unconstitutional.”

Before seeking a legal remedy, the students brought their concerns to Brunton. But Hacker said those efforts went nowhere.

“She, unfortunately, just brushed aside their concerns and basically described their views as ignorant and uneducated, and she said that she hoped the assignment would cause them to change their beliefs,” Hacker said. “Colleges are supposed to be the marketplace of ideas, not an environment where professors are manipulating students into advancing particular political agendas.”

Alliance Defending Freedom is asking Columbia State Community College to investigate the matter, and Hacker said the school has agreed to do so.  He said this sort of compelled speech must be addressed, but he said college campuses nationwide are actively promoting the pro-homosexual movement.

“We’re finding it’s very common,” he said. “A few years ago, we represented a student at Missouri State University. She was in a social work class, and the class was assigned a project to write a joint letter to the Missouri State Legislature advocating in favor of same-sex adoption and fostering. The student objected, said she didn’t want to do that because it went well beyond just an academic exercise. It was advocating a position to a legislature.

“The professor turned around and filed ethics charges against her, in fact the worst ethics charges a student can receive at the school and then required her to sign an agreement saying she won’t allow her her personal religious beliefs to get in the way of doing these sorts of assignments. I mean, just a clear violation of her religious liberty, her rights of conscience and her freedom from being compelled to speak in a way that she disagreed with.”

Letter to the Editor - LGBT Must Hush Believers‏

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, THE CORNING LEADER

In his 06/26/2013 letter in your paper Gary A. McCaslin worded well the necessity of stomping out all the conservative Bible believing fundamental Churches that remain opposed to the LGBT agenda. The LGBT community will not be at liberty to practice and promote their complete agenda while these Bible believing Christians have the freedom to practice their faith and preach it on our streets. What they call the “Word of God” is even older than McCaslin intimates. That Roman Emperor had nothing to do with it, nor did the Roman Religion that he formed in the 4^th century. The conservative Bible believing Christians, which McCaslin wants to silence, actually believe that those sixty six archaic books written down by forty different men over a period of 1,592 years, are the infallible words of Jehovah God! They believe that twenty seven of those books, written over 1,900 years ago, which they call the New Testament, were penned and authenticated by twelve ordained apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ himself. They further allege that those twenty seven antiquated books authenticate the thirty nine older books that they call the Old Testament. As to how one would silence this vocal few so that the LGBT community can have universal acceptance, with nobody calling them 'sinners', nor calling 'sodomy' an abomination to God, I suggest you first go to the history books. They have already been crucified, boiled in oil, thrown to the lions, tortured, beaten, burned alive with their Bibles, imprisoned, and banished. They don't even believe in evolution for crying out loud. I contend, therefore, that it is Gary McCaslin who needs to hear the truth, not the Bile believing conservative Christians. They are indeed founded on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Truth, and the Word, according to God's Holy infallible Word.

Note.....We now see the true agenda of the LGBT.

Secretary of State John Kerry extended his Middle East peace mission on Saturday, shuttling between Jerusalem and Amman for more talks with Palestinians and Israelis on reviving their stalled negotiations. Cancelling a scheduled trip to Abu Dhabi, Kerry flew from Jerusalem to the Jordanian capital Amman for yet another meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. He was then due to meet Israeli officials back in Jerusalem later on Saturday. "Because Secretary Kerry's meetings on the peace process remain ongoing in Jerusalem and Amman, we will no longer be able to make a stop in Abu Dhabi," State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf said. An Israeli official involved in the talks said Kerry's visit could yield an announcement that Israeli and Palestinian delegates would meet under U.S. and Jordanian auspices. "There is such a possibility, but it is not certain."

Human - Animal Hybrids Mean Boom Time for Bioethicists

There’s something undeniably creepy about an animal that is partly human. And the more human it gets, the creepier it becomes. That is why the news that a Japanese team is well on its way to creating pigs with human organs has been described as something that will “ensure the employment of a generation of bioethicists”

That is probably an exaggeration. Bioethicists have already examined the problem of human-animal chimeras in depth. Even so, the new research suggests that they will need to be called back into action very soon.

Two years ago, the UK Academy of Medical Sciences released a groundbreaking report on “animals containing human material”. It concluded that most research on chimeras is permitted by existing UK laws. But it also identified some experiments that should not (yet) be done because of strong ethical objections. One is to breed an animal that has human sperm or eggs. Another is to create a non-human primate with a humanized brain.
