UN Agencies Ask Brazilian President to Criminalize “Homophobia”


UN Agencies Ask Brazilian President to Criminalize “Homophobia”

By Julio Severo
The Expanded Theme Group on HIV/AIDS in Brazil (GT/UNAIDS), in joint partnership with national and international groups, sent a 16 October letter to Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and other Brazilian authorities, requesting priority on efforts to criminalize “homophobia.”
The letter was signed by GT/UNAIDS and its members: USAID, UNHCR, ILO, UN Women, CDCs, PAHO/WHO, UNDP, UNAIDS, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNICEF, and UNODC. Other signatories include the Brazilian Ministry of Health, the Human Rights Special Secretariat of the Brazilian Presidency, and ABGLT, the largest homosexualist group in Brazil.
The letter warns about a major AIDS epidemic in Brazil, saying that while HIV affects only 0.6% of the general population, among men that have sex with men the rate is higher: more than 10% of the Brazilian gay community has been plagued by HIV.
The letter explains that the main culprit of the high HIV prevalence among homosexuals is high violence against them and it says that prejudices against homosexuality are a strong hindrance on AIDS prevention programs. As evidence, the letter mentions a 2008 study by the Perseu Abramo Foundation saying that “92% of the Brazilian population recognizes that there is a strong prejudice against homosexuality.” Actually, the Brazilian people did not “recognize”, but demonstrated it.
The Perseu Abramo Foundation is linked to the socialist Workers’ Party of Dilma Rousseff, which has occupied the executive branch and predominates in the legislature in Brazil.
The study tested the Brazilian population for “homophobia” by asking people to comment on such statements as “God made men and women with different sexes so that they could fulfill their role and have children.” The 92% of Brazilians who agreed partially or completely with the statement were labeled “homophobic.”
Based on the overall results of the study, the Brazilian government determined that 99% of its citizens were “homophobic,” and therefore should be reeducated.
Apparently failing to achieve a mass reeducation of its people, the Rousseff administration now receives international support to advance its stalled anti-“homophobia” bills and measures.
The criminalization of “homophobia,” according to the letter, is fundamental for the success of AIDS prevention programs. The letter lent a noble and humanitarian intent to such criminalization.
The letter gives an example of the high violence against gays, by quoting a figure of 278 homosexuals murdered in 2011 in Brazil. The figure, produced by the Bahia Gay Group (Grupo Gay da Bahia), is a stark contrast with about 50,000 Brazilians murdered each year. Brazilian socialist anti-gun policies have made its population prey to criminals and murderers. Homosexuals, who often live in drug and prostitution-plagued areas, are not more vulnerable than the general population. 
Besides, the source for the “high violence” against homosexuals is questionable. Bahia Gay Group was founded by Luiz Mott, a gay activist whose defense of pedophilia is public.
The letter stresses that the Brazilian State should have no connection to religion. The Brazilian government has no official and non-official religions, but the UN agencies behind the letter were obviously eyeing the Christian feelings of the most Brazilians. Because of these feelings and heritage, Brazilians reject any kind of homosexual indoctrination in schools and the imposition of the gay ideology on their society.
In its conclusion, the letter urges the Brazilian government to adopt comprehensive measures to fight “homophobia”, including priority and speeding of the voting and approval of PLC 122, the notorious anti-“homophobia” bill produced by the Workers’ Party.
PLC 122 makes “homophobic” crimes acts and views against homosexuality, and its approval threatens to bring censorship to leaders and members mentioning anti-sodomy Bible verses even within church buildings. Even high-profile Workers’ Party members recognize such a threat.
The administration of Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor, former president Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva, made all effort to pass PLC 122 and other homosexualist measures, which were stalled by the effort of Catholics and evangelicals.
Certainly, the Rousseff administration welcomes the international pressure to do exactly what it has been wanting to do for a long time: to impose the gay agenda on the most of the Brazilians that insist on seeing homosexuality as an abnormality.

A New Reformation to Counter-Attack the Great Gates of Hell?


A New Reformation to Counter-Attack the Great Gates of Hell?

Martin Luther warns modern-day parents

By Julio Severo
Upon signing the Declaration of Independence, Samuel Adams stated: “This day, I trust, the reign of political Protestantism will commence.” The 56 signers were mostly Protestant.
According to New York University Professor Emeritus Patricia Bonomi: “The colonists were about 98 percent Protestant.”
British Statesman Edmund Burke addressed Parliament, 1775: “All Protestantism… is a sort of dissent. But the religion most prevalent in our Northern Colonies is a refinement on the principle of resistance; it is the dissidence of dissent, and the Protestantism of the Protestant religion.”
The reign of political Protestantism in America began to decline when liberalism invaded churches, and there was little dissidence; and when a State-centered education replaced a family-centered education, with minimal dissidence from churches and families.
Today, for the first time in its history, the United States does not have a Protestant majority, according to a recent AP report. While liberalism is increasing in its Protestant churches, the US is seeing the decline of their members and many of their leaders dissenting from the Gospel itself.
Of course, this is a far cry from the original Reformers, who dissented from evil for the Gospel’s sake.
Protestantism traces its origins to October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther posted 95 questions on the door of Wittenberg Church. Summoned to stand trial before 21-year-old Emperor Charles V, Luther was declared an outlaw. Frederick of Saxony hid him in Wartburg castle where he translated the New Testament into German.
Luther later wrote: “I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth.”
Peoples and nations heeded Luther’s warning in the 95 questions, and the result was blessings for them through the free reading and interpretation of the Bible. The first warning was essential for his time.
His second warning is to peoples and nations in our times. Modern schools make no effort to explain or engrave the Bible in the hearts of youth. On the contrary, schools have been engraving homosexuality and other perversions in the hearts of youth.
Schools have effectively become great gates of hell. And you do not need to heed the prophetic voice of a German man of five hundred years ago.
The evidence and result of these great gates of hell are in the minds and hearts of many Protestant children, and Catholic children, and non-Christian children.
It is time to heed Luther again.
It is time to give your children schools that explain and engrave the Bible in their young hearts.
It is time to rescue your children from the great gates of hell and make your home a school.
Make your home great gates of Heaven.
Heed Luther.
Dissent and oppose the great gates of hell.
Choose homeschooling.

Could 'Frankenstorm' be a sign from God?


Could 'Frankenstorm' be a sign from God?

'When we put pressure on Israel to divide their land, we have record-setting events'

Drew Zahn
Could the “Frankenstorm” – the feared combined forces of a wintery land storm with Hurricane Sandy – actually be a message from the Almighty?
Journalist and White House correspondent William Koenig explained to WND that some of the United States’ most catastrophic storms and events have correlated closely with the nation’s God-defying attempts to divide the land of Israel.
“When we put pressure on Israel to divide their land, we have enormous, record-setting events, often within 24 hours,” Koenig told WND. “Hurricane Katrina, 9/11 – we have experienced over 90 record-setting, all-time events as we have acted against Israel. And the greater the pressure on Israel to ‘cooperate,’ the greater the catastrophe.”
Some of Koenig’s examples are startling.
Hurricane Katrina, the deadliest and costliest hurricane in U.S. history, hit Aug. 29, 2005; the storm began the day President George W. Bush congratulated Israel for evacuating Gaza and called on the Israelis and Palestinians to move onto his two-state plan.
Koenig also pointed to the 1938 “Long Island Express,” the most powerful, deadliest and costliest hurricane in recent New England history, a storm that killed more than 600 people and resulted in property damage that in today’s dollars approaches nearly $5 billion.
“Leading up to the 1938 event, there was tremendous persecution of the Jewish people, a build-up to the Holocaust,” Koenig related. ” According to author John McTernan, the eye of the hurricane came directly over Camp Siegfried and Adolf Hitler street in Long Island. The powerful storm occurred 38 days after Camp Siegfried was the center of the largest Nazi rally outside of Germany.”
In fact, in his book “Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel,” Koenig points out that nine of the 10 costliest insurance events in U.S. history followed dramatic calls by U.S. officials for Israel to make land concessions in bids for peace with its neighbors. He points out with startling detail how six of the seven costliest hurricanes in U.S. history followed such events. He points out how three of the four largest tornado outbreaks in U.S. history also followed such developments.
Now Hurricane Sandy is poised off America’s Atlantic coast and threatens to become one of the worst storms in decades. The hurricane has been dubbed “Frankenstorm” by some outlets because it’s expected to reach the coast close to Halloween.
But how does “Frankenstorm” tie into America’s stance on Israel?
“Both political parties have now accepted, specifically, a two-state solution to peace in the Mideast, dividing Israel’s land between Israel and a Palestinian state,” Koenig told WND. “And now this hurricane story is going to disrupt political campaigning and possibly affect voter turnout for both parties.
“From a biblical perspective, the land isn’t to be divided, parceled out or negotiated away … period,” Koenig said. “That’s the land God gave to Israel.
“People say they want peace,” he continued, “but it all comes down to this: No earthly leader has the right to partition Israel, because that was God’s gift to Abraham and his descendants.”

Gay minister says that he is willing to take up arms against pro-family Christians


Gay minister says that he is willing to take up arms against pro-family Christians

In the Brazilian Congress, gay activist calls Christians “scoundrels”

By Julio Severo
In a video (http://youtu.be/dg1P7osbwSQ) made originally available by Brazilian Congressman Marco Feliciano, a gay activist has declared that, to advance homosexual “marriage”, he is willing to take up arms against Christians that defend natural family.

The video was recorded in a seminar promoted by homosexual Congressman Jean Wyllys, held at the House of Representatives in Brazil.
In the video, Márcio Retamero, who likes to use the title of “Reverend”, says that Christians that defend family and Christian faith are “scoundrels” and “religious fundamentalists.”
This is not the first time that “Rev.” Retamero, who proclaims that he is the minister of the Presbyterian Church of the Botafogo Beach and of the Metropolitan Community Church in Rio de Janeiro, mockes Christians. In 2009, he published an article entitled “Open Letter to Julio Severo, a Religious Fundamentalist and Homophobic”, which follows the line of the pro-sodomy theological sabotage.
“Rev.” Márcio Retamero
But “Rev.” Retamero is not universally anti-Christian. He has been a respecter and admirer of Christians who, like him, despise evangelical conservatism.
Retamero has openly demonstrated his admiration for Genizah, a website of progressive Protestants in Brazil.
He has many reasons to praise Genizah: both identify themselves with a progressive Calvinism and they have phobia, hatred, aversion, disgust and defamations for pro-family conservative Christians.
For Genizah and its progressive gang, “Rev.” Retamero has a lot of congratulations, hugs and kisses.
For “homophobic,” “fundamentalist” and pro-family Christians, his disposition is another: arms to punish those “scoundrels.”
