Happy Gay Year
Forwarded article from our e-group courtesy of Bro. A. This article presents some interesting facts on the history of homosexuality and homosexual politics and its development leading up to the present-day gay culture.
In a piece of shameless propaganda, two female sailors were photographed kissing on a dock in front of a U.S. Navy Ship. The headlines read, “Two women share historic kiss at US Navy ship's return. For the first time since the repeal of ‘don't ask, don't tell,’ a same sex couple takes part in a traditional public embrace. A Navy tradition caught up with the repeal of the US military's ‘don't ask, don't tell’ rule on Wednesday when two women sailors became the first to share the coveted ‘first kiss’ on the pier after one of them returned from 80 days at sea.”
Having served eight years in the Navy myself, I immediately asked: what Navy tradition is that? The Navy I served in never did any such thing.
American servicemen and women are not just being asked to tolerate this behavior, but are being subjected to “sensitivity training” where they are required to embrace homosexuality or abandon their careers. Meanwhile, homosexuals, transsexuals, and other perverts are being recruited in an effort to drive Christians from service. This abomination has been extended to the rest of government with executive order #13583, directing that homosexuals be given preference for government jobs and contracts.
This isn’t limited to Obama and the Democrats, as neo-conservatives and faux Christians openly promote homosexuality as a supposed matter of civil rights. This includes Republican candidates like Mitt Romney who instituted same sex marriage in Massachusetts. He denounced as “too extreme” the effort by pro-family groups to enact a preemptive state Marriage Protection Amendment prohibiting homosexual marriage, civil unions, and same-sex public employee benefits. Additionally, the neo-conservatives Anne Coulter and Republican strategist Roger Stone, serve on the advisory board of the homosexual advocacy group GOPROUD.
A massive propaganda campaign has convinced many Americans that homosexuality is a normal healthy life style, but like other elements of the socialist faith, this is just the opposite of reality. Homosexuality and pedophilia have been a hallmark of pagan societies since the Egyptians, with the only exception being Hebrews and Christians.
The History of Homosexuality
In ancient Greece men openly practiced homosexuality between men and pedophilia with boys. They felt that the love of a man for a boy was the purest form of love, believing that the desire for women was dirty because they menstruated. Sexual relations with boys were often the subject of Greek literature and love poems.
In ancient Rome, the Greco preference for homosexuality and aversion to marriage had been bred into the Roman worldview, and the streets were filled with male prostitutes. Pederasrtic marriages (marriages between a man and a boy) and honeymoons were common; and boys were often castrated before reaching puberty so they would maintain their youthful appearance.
In AD 165, during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Empire was devastated by a fifteen-year epidemic. Venereal disease and the lack of basic sanitation killed a third of the population including Aurelius. Then in AD 251, another equally devastating epidemic again swept the empire, this time attacking the rural areas as hard as the cities.
The decline in the Roman population was compounded by the lack of women as a result of female infanticide. A study of inscriptions at Delphi made it possible to reconstruct six hundred families. Of these, only six had raised more than one daughter. Girls that did survive infancy were usually married well before puberty. Roman law set the age limit for marriage at twelve years but it was not enforced, as the law carried no penalties.
As early as 59 BC, Julius Caesar offered land to any father who had three or more children and celibacy was outlawed. Augustus enacted laws giving political preference to men who fathered three or more children and imposed sanctions against childless couples; but, nothing worked and the Empire’s population shortages were already severe before the first great plague.
Even when men did marry, they preferred sodomy with their wives and more often than not, destroyed any offspring. During excavations of a villa in the port city of Ashkelon, the Harvard Archaeologist Lawrence Stager excavated a sewer. What he found was that it was clogged with the bones of hundreds of little babies who had been thrown into the sewer, most of which were female. Surviving Roman and Greek art frequently depicts anal intercourse, and literature describes women “playing the boy.” This literature also tells of how Roman men preferred women with large buttocks. The solution to the decline in population was to import more and more “barbarians” from outside the Empire; and Marcus Aurelius had no problem finding vacant land outside of the city to settle them on.
The Rise of Christianity
In the Christian world, the equality of the sexes, monogamous marriage, prohibition of homosexuality and infanticide, combined with a love of family, caused the Christian population to rise. At the same time, pagans could see that Christians didn’t get sick as often, and when they did get sick they stood a better chance of survival, prompting a high rate of conversion.
In AD 393, the Emperor Diocletian and his colleagues Maximilian, Galerius, and Constantius issued a series of edicts resulting in the most intense persecution of Christians ever seen in the Roman Empire. Called the Diocletianic Persecution, the move was intended to return the empire to a unified pagan faith by forcing Christians to embrace the Emperor Cult and its deadly sexual practices. Intolerance toward the Hebrews, and then the Christians, had existed all along – but this persecution was much worse. In AD 305, Diocletian resigned; and in AD 313 the persecution was ended by the emperor Constantine I (AD 272 – 373).
Homosexuality and the Rise of Socialism
As detailed in my book, socialism is based on the re-birth of ancient paganism, including homosexuality. The British Philosopher Thomas Robert Malthus (1766 – 1834) was strongly influenced by the socialist icons Robert Owen and Jeremy Bentham. Malthus espoused the elimination of marriage, and the promotion of homosexuality and promiscuity so as to create a “whole train of common diseases and epidemics, wars, infanticide, plague, and famine,” as positive checks on population. Meanwhile, Bentham was a homosexual pedophile who said that morality was based on the maximization of pleasure, and Owen said the purpose of socialism was to “feel as much pleasure as one’s knowledge and power would permit.” These positions would become part of the Humanist Manifesto now being imposed on the entire world by the United Nations – where sexual pleasure is a basic human right.
In 1882, the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 – 1900) wrote The Gay Science, where science is described as an alternative to religion, something that Sigmund Freud agreed with. Freud would adopt Nietzsche’s Theory of Transvaluation where the definitions of right, wrong, good, and evil would be reversed, and the role of the priest would be replaced with the psychotherapist. Freud would then reverse the original findings of studies showing that neurosis was largely the result of sexual abuse in childhood; stating instead that neurosis is the result of sexual repression brought on by Christian beliefs – encouraging the sexual education of children, where it would do the most harm.
The idea that homosexuality forms the basis for a better society can be found in the rise of German romanticism and the Volksthiitigkeit movement through the revival of the Greek ideal of pedagogic pederasty. By the time the National Socialists came to power, Germany had already developed a subculture of boys and young men through the Wandering Youth (Wandervoegel) organization. Hitler would use this movement much as the Greeks and the Romans had, building on their romanticism as a basis for the National Socialist Party. This would lead not only to the SA, but the Hitler Youth and the elite SS, where homosexuality was a necessary qualification to be put into positions of power. Hitler was a student of Nietzsche, a premise denied today by academia.
In Soviet Russia, Lenin, as prophesized by Marx, discouraged marriage while encouraging abortions, promiscuity, and homosexuality. However, by 1933, sexually related disease and social disintegration became such a problem that Stalin denounced homosexual conduct, making it a crime punishable by death. By 1944, Stalin was encouraging marriage and rebuilding the family unit as a way of stabilizing his bureaucratic apparatus; but it was a Soviet version of the family where marriages were arranged by the state for the sole purpose of breeding, and spouses were encouraged to betray each other.
The Promotion of Homosexuality in America
The National Socialist, Dr. Friedrich Karl von Balluseck conducted sexual experiments in Germany from roughly 1927 to 1957 where he raped and sodomized not only his own offspring, but Jewish, Polish, and German children as well. In 1947, Alfred Kinsey (1894 – 1956) founded the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University. At the institute, Kinsey worked with Balluseck by sexually abusing children from five months to eleven years, claiming that a five-month baby is capable of achieving an orgasm. Today the Kinsey report is considered the foundation of modern psychological thought on sexuality.
In 1989, Neuropsychiatrist Marshall Kirk (1957 – 2005) and Harvard social scientist Hunter Madsen, worked with the Frankfurt psychologist Herbert Marcuse (1898 – 1979) to create a homosexual manifesto called After the Ball: How America will Conquer Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90’s. The book presented a three-part plan to institute homosexuality in the United States against the will of the American People. Part one was called desentisitization where straight America would be bombarded with propaganda presenting gays in a positive manner. Part 2 was called jamming, which consisted of using Critical Theory to equate any criticism of homosexuals with the hatred of Jews, blacks, and women. Part 3 was called conversion, and consisted of creating a false image of homosexuality as being normal, and opposition to it as being ignorant of how wonderful homosexuality really is.
Medical Hazards
Today’s totalitarian position of sexuality ignores the medical hazards associated with homosexuality, which reduces life expectancy by 50%. Studies by the Center for Disease Control shows that “30 percent of all 20-year-old homosexually-active men will be HIV positive or dead of AIDS by the time they are 30.” Related studies show that 75% of sexually active homosexuals are carrying the Human Papilloma Virus, the cause of penile and cervical cancer, along with a similar rate of crippling diseases, including: hepatitis, syphilis, and staph infections (such as MRSA). Other studies suggests the homosexual lifestyle is far more hazardous than smoking, obesity, salt, or any of the other things that socialists claim to detest and want to regulate. Homosexuality has caused at least 35 million deaths from AIDS over the last 30 years, while costing some $30B in research and treatment (for more information google: msm std cdc ).
Today’s education teaches students that men and women, adult and child, all share the same sexual traits and desires. Sexual orientation is no longer defined as homosexual or heterosexual, but in terms that say any sexual identity that is based on gender or age is irrelevant. All that matters is “self-love” where sexual pleasure replaces all religion, and all personal identity is subservient to politics. These people claim that marriages should be open and should last only until the offspring can be transferred to the care of the state, just as Owen proselytized and Stalin implemented.
In February of 2009, Dr. Joan Nelson published an article in the Journal of Sex Education & Therapy entitled “Intergenerational Sexual Contact.” In her article she said that society’s condemnation of pedophilia and incest creates harm by stigmatizing it as victimization. To solve this problem, pedophilia and incest should be referred to as intergenerational sex, and portrayed as healthy and normal. Today this position is being injected into the public school systems in several states including California, New York, and Florida.
Totalitarianism
The totalitarian aspects of homosexuality can be seen in Romer v. Evans where the court struck down a referendum, which simply stated that homosexuals should not receive preferential treatment for their life style. In his dissenting opinion Justice Antonin Scalia's said:
“Colorado's reasonable effort to preserve traditional American moral values ... I think it no business of the courts (as opposed to the political branches) to take sides in this culture war … Today's opinion has no foundation in American constitutional law, and barely pretends to. The people of Colorado have adopted an entirely reasonable provision, which does not even disfavor homosexuals in any substantive sense, but merely denies them preferential treatment. Amendment 2 is designed to prevent piecemeal deterioration of the sexual morality favored by a majority of Coloradans, and is not only an appropriate means to that legitimate end, but a means that Americans have employed before. Striking it down is an act, not of judicial judgment, but of political will.”
The effect of this ruling was to create a protected class that recognized the class- consciousness of homosexuals at the expense of the constitutional rights of individuals to free association.
Male on Male Rape
Like their Nazi predecessors, today’s homosexuals lack any scruples. Homosexuality is primarily a predatory addiction striving to take the weak and unsuspecting down with it. The “gay” agenda is a colossal fraud constituting an enormous robbery of the mind, undermining the legitimate workings of government and the military. A study by Ohio State University in 2002 published, “When Men Are Raped”, disclosing that some 17% of men will be forcibly raped during their lifetime, usually before the age of consent. This means that out of nearly 160 million adults half of whom are male, 1.5 Million homosexuals have attacked some 51 million men and boys. This is in sharp contrast with the political narrative that says homosexual men are more often the victim of attacks by heterosexuals. FBI statistics show that the actual incident of what is called hate crime represents an incredibly low percentage of overall crimes committed.
Prior to 1993, homosexuality in the military was a criminal act, punishable by imprisonment. As one of his first acts as president, Bill Clinton implemented a policy of “don’t ask don’t tell” as an incremental step towards inducting homosexuals into the military. Since then, violent male on male rape in the military has risen to an alarming level. The ugly secret is that in 2010 nearly 50,000 male veterans screened positive for “military sexual trauma,” up from just over 30,000 in 2003. For the victims, the experience is a special kind of hell – as a soldier can’t just quit his job to get away from his abusers. With the repeal of “don’t ask don’t tell”, and the institutionalized inculcation of homosexuality as a requirement for military service, this number will most certainly increase.
The political narrative says that male on male rape is not the result of homosexuality, but is instead the result of men seeking power over men, the very same argument used by the National Socialists.
Tolerating the Intolerable
As part of the socialist endeavor to destroy Western Civilization, Americans are being forced to tolerate a lifestyle that is, by definition, intolerable. As mentioned in previous articles, Herbert Marcuse (1898 – 1979) was a prominent psychologist at the Institute for Social Research, an adjunct to the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow. Often called the father of the new left, Marcuse and his fellow Marxists set about to destroy Western Civilization, and its Christian faith. To do this they instituted a method we now call Political Correctness and Multiculturalism – collectively called Critical Theory or Neo-Marxism.
At the University of Chicago, Marcuse wrote a book called Repressive Tolerance (1965) where he said, “The objective of tolerance would call for intolerance toward prevailing policies, attitudes, opinions, and the extension of tolerance to policies, attitudes, and opinions which are outlawed or suppressed,” implementing Friedrich Nietzsche Theory on Transvaulation.
Critical Theory says that anyone who opposes homosexuality should be criticized as being full of hate or being homophobic, while rejecting all criticism and empirical evidence to the contrary. However, wanting a longer healthy life for others, especially our children, is not hateful; while promoting a deadly lifestyle based on lust and drugs is not love. No civilization that has embraced the homosexual lifestyle has survived, so opposing it is the only sound position to take.
