Julio Severo Interviews Brazilian Congressman Marco Feliciano: How Massive Homosexualist Opposition Has Skyrocketed His Name into Fame, Making Him the Most Prominent Evangelical Politician in Brazil

By Julio Severo

Marco Feliciano has become the most prominent evangelical leader in Brazilian politics. His fame came involuntarily. As a Congressman, he was appointed chairman of the Human Rights Committee in the Brazilian House of Representatives last March. Immediately, all the Brazilian Left began a massive campaign against his appointment. Artists, politicians and even ministers in the socialist administration of President Dilma Rousseff wanted him out of this committee chairmanship.

Marco Feliciano

Even among evangelical leaders, there was fierce opposition. Two important leftist Reformed ministers in Brazil, Rev. Marcos Amaral and Rev. Ariovaldo Ramos, took part in national efforts to remove Feliciano.

In the face of such fierce opposition, the chances for Feliciano to remain in office were slim to none. No one was willing to side with him.

I was among the tiny minority of Christian leaders supporting him, in spite of his past. As Ariovaldo Ramos and many leftist evangelicals and Catholics, Feliciano had supported the election of socialist President Rousseff. But my Catholic pro-life contacts assured me that he was instrumental in many pro-life battles in the Brazilian Congress. Besides, these sources told me his support for socialist Rousseff was based on pure naiveté. Unlike Ramos and Amaral, who are ideological militants and supported Hugo Chavez and socialist administrations in Brazil, continuing to support them even after they began to promote abortion and homosexuality, Feliciano withdrew his support of Rousseff over these issues. In fact, the massive opposition to his appointment was over his solid stances against abortion and homosexuality.

Marco Feliciano is the president of Catedral do Avivamento (Revival Cathedral), a church connected to the Assemblies of God denomination in Brazil. His fame has skyrocketed because, in spite of systematic socialist hostility, he has remained as the chairman of the Human Rights Commission in the Brazilian House of Representatives.

Before his appointment, this committee, which was controlled by powerful socialists, had for many years approved grants to homosexual groups. Since 2010, over 100,000 dollars were allocated to the gay agenda. With Feliciano in office, these massive financial resources are being earmarked for legitimate human rights needs.

Leftist groups throughout the Brazilian society are furious about the losses to the homosexual agenda. But true human rights have won.

I am privileged to have interviewed Congressman Marco Feliciano to inform you of his colossal battle to uphold pro-family values in Brazilian politics — which is dominated by socialists bent on foisting the culture of death on Brazil.

Julio Severo: Your appointment as Chair of the Human Rights Committee (HRC) in the Brazilian House of Representatives provoked indignation in the ruling Workers’ Party (whose Portuguese acronym is PT) and the Left. I have never seen an evangelical politician so attacked as you were. Why did PT and the Left do it?

Marco Feliciano: The Brazilian Left hates everything and everybody hindering their nefarious progressive plans. Since my election in 2010, honoring the votes of the Christian population, I have paid special attention to major issues and I was surprised to find about 200 bills turning homosexuals into a super-race. Today, on close examination, I found more than 900 bills before the House of Representatives which harm the traditional family, church and free speech. I have become a kind of “bodyguard” for family. Long before HRC I had, for example, petitioned for the impeachment of a justice in the Brazilian Supreme Court because he disclosed beforehand his vote for the abortion of anencephalic babies. I did it with the assistance of the late Catholic Bishop Bergonzini, Bishop of São Paulo. I had several battles in House committees and on the floor when the subject was sexual orientation, and from that time on, they made me a public enemy. When my name was nominated for the HRC chairmanship, the opposition went crazy. After all, I was, for them, basically a rightwinger chairing a committee created exclusively by and for the Left.

Marco Feliciano with Catholic pro-life leaders

Julio Severo: Rev. Ariovaldo Ramos, Rev. Marcos Amaral and other representatives of the evangelical Left joined together to protests against you. Why did they do protest you, but never the pro-abortion and pro-homosexualist policies of the ruling Workers’ Party?

Marco Feliciano: One fine day I received a call from someone connected to Ariovaldo, saying that he wanted to talk to me before issuing a declaration. I admit, I had never heard of him before. I obeyed the Bible command: “Strive for peace with everyone.” I met with him, and he was accompanied by several other leaders comprising the Board of Directors of the Evangelical Alliance. For over an hour I provided my explanations, denounced how bills are processed in the Brazilian Congress, mentioned hundreds of bills threatening the freedom of worship and the destruction of the traditional family, etc. Yet, I was questioned about how I would conduct myself before the demands from Indians, the poor, social issues, and then I perceived that these leaders, friends of the leftist Rousseff administration, had no concern at all with the threats I had exposed. They were activists, worried about provoking a holy “war,” advising me not to be intolerant, lecturing me about the perfect Lula administration (the predecessor of socialist Rousseff)… Anyway, before this meeting, Ariovaldo had already signed a public document denouncing me.

Julio Severo: In your desperation, you contacted ANAJURE, a Christian organization recently founded to defend civil rights of Christians, for help. What was their answer?

Marco Feliciano: I was really desperate. For 30 days, I was under cross fire and a very few people helped me. I remembered ANAJURE. I remembered also the desperate request these noble “Christian” lawyers made to the Evangelical Parliamentary Caucus saying that ANAJURE could not be recognized unless evangelical parliamentarians gave them their seal of approval. After all, this group was being created for the express purpose of protecting evangelical parliamentarians in their struggle to defend religious freedom and family. I called the ANAJURE president* who was in France. I talked to him more than once, and he told that he was on my side and that ANAJURE would legally defend me. Idle talk! Nonsense! Some days later a note by these holy lawyers attacked me and advised me to leave HRC because I was not qualified. After this episode, ANAJURE lost some of its most important founding members, including our faith warrior in Brasilia, Dr. Damares Alves.

Julio Severo: In the heat of persecution, the ANAJURE president issued a press release warning that your presence in the Human Rights Committee was going to “divide the evangelical church even further… Just because personal projects are above the values of the Truth of the Gospel of Christ.” Why, instead of helping you, did the ANAJURE president decide to issue this press release?

Marco Feliciano: Out of cowardice, because it was not convenient to combine the image of his organization with a “leprous dog” like me at that time. I was an offense to them. Very few people believed that I would be able to withstand the pressure. He was sure that I would leave, that I would fall. But the Lord, through the prayers of the church, has sustained me.

Julio Severo: What did you go through as a result of the massive opposition, coming especially from the media and the secular and evangelical Left?

Marco Feliciano: Persecution, death threats, physical ailments and public humiliation. My wife suffered a psychosomatic illness. My younger daughters (10 and 11) needed psychological support, because in a worship service gay activists climbed on my car, exposed their genitals, shouted loudly, swearing and spitting when my small daughters were in the car crying. I lost 22 pounds, because I was unable to eat and sleep properly. The media were cruel, editing sermons I had preached 15 years ago and showing them daily in their news and TV reports. The social media were disgusting. Gay activists vandalized our churches and campaigned at the doors of some churches hindering members from entering. In some small cities the battling was so great that church members were afraid to attend worship services, because when they came they met gay activists smoking, drugging themselves, drinking and dancing half-naked.

Protest against Marco Feliciano

Julio Severo: Has the homosexualist pressure affected your daily life? And if so, how?

Marco Feliciano: Yes. Today, rarely I go to public places. When I do, if someone calls my name, or comes near abruptly, I get worried, because I do not know what is going to happen and what this individual’s intent is. This is why I avoid going to restaurants and malls.

Julio Severo: Have your family suffered threats because of homosexualist pressures?

Marco Feliciano: My oldest daughter, 18, had to discontinue her studies in Brazil, because her surname, Feliciano, was a burden. I had to send her to study in the United States.

Julio Severo: Gay militants have called you names and threatened you? Have you called them names and threatened them too?

Marco Feliciano: My profile is peaceful and calm. I have emotional health. I never use abusive language. I never threaten. Even when I have legal grounds to file a legal action, I do not do it. I am a Christian, not just nominal, but practicing.

Julio Severo: What do you think about homosexual behavior? Is it medically healthy? Is it morally healthy?

Marco Feliciano: It is a behavioral phenomenon beyond comprehension. It is an issue that should be studied, but gay militants have pressured psychologists to abandon the topic and never discuss it. This is deplorable and even criminal. They have turned it into a “trendy” thing, and the next generations will pay the consequences for it. Gay behavior results in confusion, distress, and desperation. I am sorry for them.

Julio Severo: What do you think about God’s condemnation of homosexual behavior in the Bible?

Marco Feliciano: I do not question God or his thoughts. The Old Testament had prohibitions aimed at preserving our species. For example, circumcision, bans on foods like pork or seafood. Today we know how these dietary rules and circumcision increased the people’s lifespan. It was intended to keep them healthy. I see the condemnation by God of the homosexual act in several respects, the preservation of species. If you put 500 homosexuals on an island for 70 years, it will eventually be uninhabited. Anal copulation is unsanitary. Diseases like HPV and AIDS spread easily among GLBTT people, and there is the issue of sin, which is everything offending God and making Him sad. But remember that the condemnations were from the Old Testament, in the Dispensation of the Law. With Christ in the New Testament, the condemnation is spiritual, it is about eternity. The eye-for-an-eye law was changed to “Love your neighbor as yourself.” So I love homosexuals, but I abhor the homosexual act.

Marco Feliciano receives support from March for Family in June

Julio Severo: What do you think about PLC 122, the Brazilian bill criminalizing “homophobia”?

Marco Feliciano: PLC 122 is the padlock that swill forever lock up free speech and severely chastise the Christian Church.

Julio Severo: Do you agree with the government’s attitude, with media complicity, of forcing children and adolescents to be exposed to homosexual indoctrination in schools and other settings?

Marco Feliciano: I am opposed to it and I pay a high cost for that. The so called “new family structure” is dishonest, macabre, putrid, wretched and implacable! Parents, beware for your children!

Julio Severo: Before your term, what was happening in the Human Rights Committee? Is it true that much money was channeled to fund homosexual projects?

Marco Feliciano: HRC was created about 20 years ago and was used as a visibility platform for the LGBTT movement. In the past 18 years it is estimated that over 100,000 dollars were earmarked for them.

Julio Severo: What about now under your chairmanship? How does the Human Rights Committee channel resources? Where is people’s money going to?

Marco Feliciano: A House committee cannot send money, but it stipulates where the grants are to be employed. It happens at the end of the year. I have not done it yet, but when I do it, don’t worry, because I will allot it to people in real need.

Julio Severo: Do you think that the massive indignation of the gay militancy against your chairmanship in the Human Rights Committee has to do with the multi-million loss of resources that the gay movement has suffered?

Marco Feliciano: Of course.

Julio Severo: In the past, you supported politically socialists Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff, of the Workers’ Party. What has made you change your mind? In the choice between ethical values, especially opposition to abortion and homosexuality, and support to the Workers’ Party of Lula and Rousseff, why did you lean toward ethical values?

Marco Feliciano: In the 2010 Brazilian presidential election, we were in a tight spot. On one side, there was PSDB (a social democratic party) and its candidate José Serra, who said openly that he supported abortion. On the other side, there was Rousseff, who signed a public document saying that she was against abortion and that in her administration she would not approve it. What would you do? I chose the lesser evil, the candidate who had a document that could be used to hold her feet to the fire. I supported Rousseff. I have repented. To the ruling Left, “values” means money.

Julio Severo: Why did Ariovaldo Ramos and other representatives of the evangelical Left, who also supported Lula and Rousseff, prefer to join the Workers’ Party and the militant homosexuals in opposing your chairmanship of the Human Rights Committee? Do not ethical values, especially against abortion and homosexuality, matter to them?

Marco Feliciano: Who knows? Certainly, there must be some special benefit that we do not know about. An ancient poet said “Between heaven and earth there are more mysteries than our vain philosophy of life”… I cannot believe in a church that prefers error over truth. I cannot understand what leads a minister to support a wicked system, but to fail to support a simple, weak brother. I really do not understand.

Brazilian Congress

Julio Severo: You have gone through a major trial by fire. With the massive opposition to your appointment for the Human Rights Committee chairmanship, it seemed that you were not going to holdout for long. How was your experience with God during that time?

Marco Feliciano: I do not remember being so near to God before. It was profound. Dependency on Him was total. Prayer had a pure focus. I had heard about Him before, but then I knew Him in truth. After 40 days I saw Christians arising to help me. Evangelicals, Catholics and, amazingly, even spiritualists and conservative atheists joined in on the internet, in the streets, in prayer, in TV and radio shows. The rally promoted by Rev. Silas Malafaia in Brasília was a blessing. I saw God moving the Christian nation to prayer.

Julio Severo: Following this huge opposition, your stay in the chairmanship of the Human Rights Committee is a miracle. Do you feel that God had this purpose for you? Jean Wyllys, the homosexualist congressman in Brazil, says that he was put in the politics by African deities. What about you? Have you a calling from God for politics?

Marco Feliciano: When I became a candidate for the Brazilian House of Representatives, many were shocked. A very small number of people understood what I did at that time. I had a spiritual dream. I was moved by God to politics. My life in Brazilian politics awakened many in the Brazilian Church. I demonstrated that it is possible to be a politician and stay filled with the Holy Spirit. I continue being a minister and preacher. My principles remain intact. Next year the Brazilian Church will show her power at the polls. I am sure that God is in this business. I believe that God still has “Josephs and Daniels” in government. Let’s remember that the Old Testament prophet was the political conscience of kings.

Marco Feliciano

Julio Severo: Many would like to vote for you for president of Brazil next year, because possibly all the candidates will be pro-abortion and homosexualists. Even socialist evangelical Marina Silva, who is looking for evangelical votes, is not trustworthy on these issues. She is supported by many leftists, including evangelicals, who made consistent opposition to you. You would be the only electoral option for Christians. Why don’t you run for president of Brazil?

Marco Feliciano: I was also disappointed with our “sister” Marina. Marina is so leftist that even the Workers’ Party was not radical enough for her. Look at the people who are with her building the new party Rede, and you will understand what I am talking about. If a party owning an electoral TV spot adopted me, I would become a candidate with no fear. If not now, perhaps the next time around. I am in prayer. I have to learn many things. I am 40 years old and beginning my political life. I have the conviction that I am not 100% prepared, but there are advisers, etc. It is a dream. Let’s dream.

World’s biggest shipwreck

The sinking of Titanic and Wilhelm Gustloff in perspective

By Julio Severo

Even with their sophisticated, fast and high-powered news and information technology, modern humankind has a hard time to see or recognize proven facts.

One of those facts is that it is impossible to live without God and his values. Nazis tried, and they reaped bitter and destructive consequences. Communists tried, and they did and they do the same reaping. Both socialist ideologies were focused on man and based on the evolution theory, which dethrones God and enthrones man, or monkey.

Without God, tragedy is sure. In its inauguration in 1912, Titanic, which was the largest ship of its time, was greeted with the famous words, “Not even God can sink this ship.”

The ship sank, producing what is proclaimed today as the biggest sinking in the modern history.

However, this is not the whole true. There was a much bigger tragedy.

The world’s biggest shipwreck happened in the winter of 1945, right at the end of the World War II.

With the advance of the Soviet communist army over eastern Germany, millions of German civilians tried to flee from the furious red troops, who destroyed everything, killed and tortured, and raped all women and girls in their way.

Some were able to escape. So hundreds of thousands of German women, children and wounded tried the fastest way to flee for German areas out of Soviet sphere. German civilians were aware that this was their only hope to escape the sure fate of mass death, slavery and rapes in the hands of Soviet communists. Those unable to flee became total victims of the Soviet cruel fancies and depravities, and women and girls would be condemned to sexual tortures for years.

It is in this context of annihilation of civil populations that hospital ship Wilhelm Gustloff was escaping from the implacable Soviet invasion, carrying more than 9,000 people, mostly women and children. Half the way, in its desperate journey to reach western Germany, the civil ship will become the main character of the biggest silent shipwreck in the history.

In the dark and frozen night of January 30, 1945, the hospital ship is sighted by a Soviet submarine, which shoots three torpedoes, condemning thousands of women and children to death in waters 10 Celsius (14 Fahrenheit) below zero.

In the shipwreck of Titanic, 1,517 people died — a figure considered high.

Yet, in the sinking of the hospital ship Wilhelm Gustloff, 9,343 people perished.

Wilhelm Gustloff

The Soviet communist ideology — which did not believe in God and worshipped evolution theory — killed a huge crowd of defenseless women and children in cold blood. Did the fact that the Soviets were in war against Nazism — which equally despised the Bible and worshiped evolution theory — entitle them to kill innocent people?

But as Dostoyevsky, a Russian writer in the pre-communist era, said, “Without God, everything is possible.”

Contempt for God in the culture of the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics made possible for their soldiers not to have any compassion for defenseless civilians. The sinking of the hospital ship Wilhelm Gustloff unavoidably brings to memory in an emphasized way the disrespect to the most basic human rights. The memory of Titanic saves socialists from that uncomfortable truth.

So the insistence of holding up the sinking of Titanic as the world’s biggest shipwreck seems to have the exclusive purpose of covering the fact that the true and only bigger shipwreck in the history was provoked by the cowardice of men moved by an ideology without God. The image of leftism, communism and socialism is thereby protected from the brutality of their actions. Nothing upsets more a leftist than truth.

In order to soften the terrible truth, liberal historians allege that many of the women belonged to SS — and possibly, children belonged to some kind of kid’s SS. (Possibly also, some Soviet soldier might have witnessed babies armed with machine guns and grenades!) Another excuse was that the Soviet submarine commander, because of the dark night, was unable to recognize that that enormous ship didn’t have the appearance of a warship. Supposedly, he was unable to know that it was a hospital ship carrying a crowd desperate civilians. However, it is known that in broad daylight Soviet airplanes, when sighting crowds of German civilians fleeing by the roads, shot them as in a competition for targets. In fact, even English and American soldiers, who were war prisoners of the Nazi in eastern Germany, were not spared from cruelties when captured by the Soviet army.

The communist inhumanity has been very well known. This is why during the anti-Communist military government in Brazil, the exiled leftist artists and politicians didn’t choose to live in Cuba, Soviet Union, North Korea or other socialist “paradise.” They opted for capitalist countries! For instance, former Brazilian Marxist president Fernando Henrique Cardoso chose exile in France. Gilberto Gil, in England. Why to choose exile in a socialist slum when they could opt for capitalist luxury?

With the purpose of not frightening the German population with the public disclosure of such a big loss before the Soviet advance, national socialist dictator Hitler ordered German press into silence over Wilhelm Gustloff’s sinking. Soviets never tried to break that silence by making a mass world advertising of their big feat of producing a disaster worse than the shipwreck of Titanic, because other nations could not have seen as honor the fact that Soviets were celebrating the sinking of a ship that, besides not representing any military danger to them, was rescuing desperate civil refugees.

For the socialists’ relief, the silence imposed by Hitler and the universal faith that Titanic was the world’s worst shipwreck keep Wilhelm Gustloff and communist cowardice in the basements of the forgetfulness in the world history.

Did the hospital ship Wilhelm Gustloff, with its enormous shipment of women and children, deserve to be willfully sunk? Nazism and communism deserved such sinking. Although Nazism (an acronym for national socialism) has been defeated, communism kept its march of blood and destruction, condemning to slavery, darkness and death millions of human beings, and many lies linked to socialism do not have still been sunken. On the contrary, every way of disinformation has been used to hide the cowardice of communist ideology.

In Brazil, we have reasons to give preference to the name Titanic. It is easier to remember than the complicated German name Wilhelm Gustloff. But the reasons of the Karl Marx religion sympathizers are others.

Everything that was necessary for Titanic to go down, with its 1,517 passengers, was an iceberg, provoker of the fatal accident. Everything that was necessary for Wilhelm Gustloff and its 9,343 passengers to perish in the sea was an implacable Soviet commander of frozen heart — a womanizer, an alcoholic man who would eventually go to prison for robbery. Being educated at atheistic schools of the secular Soviet State, he is an example of what Darwin’s evolutionist ideas and Karl Marx’s socialist ideas do in the heart, mind and soul of a man. Without God, every type of evil is made possible.

Worse than the shipwreck of Titanic is Wilhelm Gustloff’s sinking. And much worser than Wilhelm Gustloff’s sinking is the shipwreck of whole societies into the abysses of destruction of the chameleonic socialist ideology.

Do you want to know the final result of a society that is educated to despise the Bible and worship evolution theory, dethroning God and his values and enthroning Karl Marx, Hitler, Darwin or other men and their values? Look at what happened to Nazi Germany and the extinct Soviet Union: when human beings stop respecting God and start to believe that they came from a monkey, they become worse than wild beasts.

An Open Letter To President Vladimir Putin

August 30, 2013
President Vladimir Putin
Russian Federation
23, Ilyinka Street,
Moscow, 103132, Russia

Dear President Putin,

On behalf of millions of Americans and Canadians who are concerned about the seemingly unstoppable spread of homosexuality in our countries and internationally, I wish to respectfully express my heartfelt gratitude that your nation has take a firm and unequivocal stand against this scourge by banning homosexualist propaganda in Russia. You have set an example of moral leadership that has shamed the governments of Western Europe and North America and inspired the peoples of the world. Already Lithuania, Moldova, Hungary and the Ukraine have begun to follow your principled example, and you have engendered real hope in the international pro-family movement that this destructive and degrading sexual agenda might finally begin to be brought to a halt across the globe.

As a long-time leader in the pro-family movement who toured your country in 2006 and 2007 advocating the very policy you have enacted, I want to caution you not to assume that you have fully solved the problem by the enactment of this law. The battle to protect your society from homosexualization has only just begun, and you may be surprised to discover in the coming months and years just how aggressively many world leaders will work to try to intimidate and coerce you to capitulate to homosexualist demands.

Few political agendas in the history of mankind have marshaled the tenacity and resolve of the homosexualist movement. Its activists are driven by an implacable militancy and a zeal to advance their own self-serving interests that rivals even the most fanatical religious cults. A glimpse at the spirit behind the movement can be seen in the Bible in Genesis 19:4-11.

In just fifty years this marginal group representing only about 2% of the population has, through sheer will-power and intimidation, gained more political influence in the legislatures and courtrooms of the western world than the Christian church. The sexual conduct that defines their identity as individuals and as a movement was almost universally illegal and unlawful during the years our two nations were allied against the threat of Nazism, but just a little more than half a century later homosexualist leaders and surrogates sit in a majority of the seats of power across the west, and increasing in the east and in developing nations as well.

In readying your society to recognize and counter the efforts of the militant gay movement it is important to understand that their propaganda and policies adhere invariably to the narrative that all disapproval of homosexuality leads inevitably to hatred, violence and murder of homosexuals. All of the pro-homosexual policies in the United States and Europe rest on this unstated and unchallenged but fictional premise. Thus, the homosexualist movement is not simply seeking social tolerance, or acceptance, but political power and control. They want the power to stamp out all disapproval of homosexuality in your society and to compel every citizen (especially the youth) to embrace the view that homosexual conduct is good and normal.

They ask for a place at the table, but once they have one all the social ideals they exploited to get there, such as social tolerance, freedom of speech, and respect for cultural diversity, are discarded. In place of those ideals is inserted a new backwards and upside-down morality and world-view that condemns all disapproval of homosexuality as a new fictionalized form of bigotry. I have termed this phenomenon "Homo-fascism" and defined it as a form of extreme left-wing, regressive radicalism which seeks to establish rigid authoritarian controls over all public discourse and government policies regarding sexual norms and proprieties, and to enact punitive measures against conscientious objectors that would punish or suppress all disapproval of homosexuality and related sexual behaviors (that would of course even though they deny it, quickly include a sexual indoctrination and exploitation of children).

In the coming months and years Russia and Her people will be increasingly portrayed by emotion laden and abusive hyperbole as bigoted haters, intent on exterminating homosexuals. Indeed, the propaganda campaign on that theme has already been initiated , with video footage purporting to show Russian neo-Nazis beating homosexuals now being circulated on the Internet, along with the false implication that this is the intent of your policy. This same propaganda machinery and methodology has been grinding away against the country of Uganda since 2009 when it introduced (but never passed) its Anti-Homosexuality Bill (AHB) that I agree was far too harsh but which never reflected any intention of the Ugandan government to exterminate homosexuals as “gay” activists and their media allies continue to allege.

Indeed, this “gay” narrative that equates opposition to homosexuality with Nazi-like genocide is in part an attempt to obscure the ugly roots of the modern homosexualist movement in pre-Nazi Germany. German fascism was formed and facilitated by masculine-oriented male homosexuals in response to an effeminate model of homosexuality which held that all homosexualist men were actually female souls trapped in men's bodies. Beginning in the 1860s the Femmes, following the Grandfather of Gay Rights, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, built a powerful social and political movement in Germany which focused on repealing the sodomy laws.

Offended by the constant characterization of male homosexuality as effeminate, the masculine-oriented Butches created their own movement grounded in the male warrior-cult philosophy epitomized by ancient Sparta. These were the first German fascists and from their ranks came first the Brown Shirted brawlers of World War I and then the Nazi Party. This thesis is heavily documented in my book The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party, which I co-authored in 1995 with researcher Kevin E. Abrams.

Along with this cover letter, I am enclosing a copy of The Pink Swastika (Fourth Edition) in English that is autographed by my co-author and I. We will soon be completing a long-delayed process of publishing the book in Russian, and hereby pledge that we will dedicate the Russian version of The Pink Swastika to the Russian Government and Her People. It will be our honor to send the very first copy of the Russian version to you.
Once again, thank you, President Putin, for standing firm in defense of the natural family, which is the essential foundation of all human civilization. Perhaps through the inspiration of your leadership, an alliance of the good people of our countries with those of your own, can once again in some cooperative fashion, redeem the future of mankind from a Fascist Leviathan, just as we did in World War II.

Respectfully,

Pastor Scott Lively, J.D., Th.D.
