MassResistance Chile Fights the Transgender Agenda

This is a huge development in Latin America.

Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and now Chile are taking up the pro-family fight against the homosexual-transgender agenda.

This is incredible!

We need people like these freedom and family fighters to help us in the United States!

Our newest chapter in Chile is fighting in their Parliament to stop a horrible transgender bill affecting children

Bill would allow “sex change” for 14-year-olds without consent of parents. And under 14 years old with at least one parent!

Already organized across the country and confronting politicians!

August 29, 2018

Chile MassResistance activists and others with big signs in the National Senate chambers, against the youth transgender bill last week. That day they were successful!

Back in June, activists in Chile contacted MassResistance for help. As their leader Cecile explained, the Chilean Parliament – the National Congress – was about to vote on a frightening bill. The bill would allow sex-change procedures for 14-year-olds without the consent of parents.

The radical LGBT movement is moving very aggressively in South America. They have infiltrated the highest levels of government and are pushing an agenda that is truly shocking. It is helped greatly by the cooperative mainstream media, a population relatively uninformed in “culture war” issues, and social media that blocks conservative communication.

The final vote on the bill will likely take place next week. But our newest international chapter, Chile MassResistance, is working to be organized across the country and is on the ground determinedly fighting this.

A truly frightening bill

The bill establishes that transgenderism is not a disease, so no one would need to resort to medical exams or psychotherapy for a so-called sex change. People 18 and over could get a sex change by just showing an ID. Minors under 14 could legally get a sex change with only one parent agreeing. And at ages 14-18 if neither of the parents authorize it, the child can go to a judge. The judge will decide after speaking with a parent, and without requiring any medical examination or certificates.

Most people don’t realize what is happening. Chileans who find out about it are in disbelief.

Everything has moved very fast

Cecilia explained that the LGBT agenda has taken people by shock:

All this has progressed very quickly in three years and we almost did not realize how it was happening.

Sexual and gender education has been introduced without parental authorization as a result of an agreement between the LGBTI lobby, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the previous Left government that was ratified by this supposedly center-right government.

We have the homosexual adoption law being discussed. Homosexual marriage will be legislated soon. It has already been announced that the law of free abortion will be introduced for discussion. The euthanasia law has been presented for discussion.

Moreover, the churches are not leading the fight. It’s up to pro-family activists to carry the burden, Cecile told us:

The evangelical church has timidly reacted, but there are no strong leaders leading the battles, and there is no activism. They have only tried to follow the progress of the laws and testify at the commissions in the Parliament.

The Catholic Church is mired in deep pedophilia problems and has no chance to raise its voice, so we are leading in some way what little we can do.

Powerful pro-LGBT forces in Chile pushing the agenda

And as in much of the world, the LGBT movement has powerful forces helping them in Chile. As Cecilia explained:

The LGBTI lobby has resources, TV, radio and writings where they have desensitized citizens with strategies of victimization without it being able to discern the danger for their own children.

We do not have the media, only social networks (Facebook, Twitter). And many times they intervene preventing the dissemination and the work we are trying to do.

We are creating programs to disseminate all this news that is happening in our country because there are many people who still do not know or do not understand what gender ideology is. Unfortunately, the only way we have of informing Chileans, is by alternative means since communications media such as radio and television are totally bought by the LGBTI agenda.

We need all the help possible from MassResistance so that the citizens can understand and believe that this is an international agenda and that it is attacking the family. We are eager to become a MassResistance chapter!

Chile MassResistance gets to work!

Cecilia’s activists and other groups had already begun organizing pro-family people across the country. They had a petition that already had 19,000 signers. They had put together informative material about the issue. There were Facebook pages and some YouTube videos (which from time to time got blocked or taken down).

We worked with them on strategies and tactics. We built them an Internet-based system so that people across the country could communicate with their National Deputies and Senators (the members of the two houses of the National Congress), which really made a difference, they told us. In particular, we stressed the importance of direct, personal pressure on politicians.

Here is a sample response from the flood of emails sent to Senators by their constituents against the youth transgender bill, using the system provided by MassResistance.

A success last Wednesday!

On Wednesday, August 22, a vote on the bill was scheduled to take place in the Senate. Our people organized about 50 activists to show up in the chambers of the Senate. They also distributed information to the members. “We had never done those things before,” Cecilia told us.

It was successful! The proponents realized they didn’t have the support to win it, so they managed to postpone the vote.

The battle continues

The vote in the Senate is now re-scheduled for Sept. 4. And if it is successful then, it will go to the Deputies the following day, Sept. 5.

In the meantime, our Chile MassResistance chapter is stepping up the fight. Pro-family people across the country will be personally visiting the offices of politicians this week. During these last few days the evangelical church has woken up and are calling to all members throughout the country to show up the 4th and 5th of September.

Busses brought activists to the Capitol!

The pressure will be on the National Congress like they’ve never seen before on a “culture war” issue. The Chile MassResistance chapter is an outstanding group and we’re excited to be working with them!

We’ll keep you up to date on all of this.

     

Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!

Newport Beach Pastor: AB 2943 Awakened a The Body of Christ

California Assembly Bill 2943 awakened a compassionate giant, Orange County Register.

Jim Domen is an ex-gay, or we should say a restored man.

Let's speak the truth: no one has to be gay, no one has to be trapped in a same-sex lifestyle or gender confusion at all. The biggest lie under-writing the whole LGBT Movement is that men and women in the homosexual or transgender lifestyle are "born that way." There is nothing they can do to get out of those desires and behaviors, and no one has a right to speak out against these views or values.

All of this is wrong. More testimonies are coming forward of men and women who no longer embrace or identify with the LGBT movement in any way. Men and women no longer wish to be in bondage to same-sex attraction and demands.

Check out this incredible testimony from Pastor Jim, who with Church United has been leading an incredible fight for the victory against #AB2943, the "Must Stay Gay" bill.

Last month I walked up to Assemblyman Evan Low, D-San Jose, and introduced myself as Pastor Jim Domen, a former homosexual who was transformed and now lives a life of heterosexuality. We both smiled and he said, “You’re about to see democracy in action.” We were standing in the front row of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Absolutely, in that the people, the citizenry of the state of California have had more than enough of the abusive overreach of the state legislature. I am really inspired at how Pastor Jim handled Assemblyman Low, with tact and directness. This blend of calm assertion is deeply lacking in our politics.

He was there to present Assembly Bill 2943, which would ban “services constituting sexual orientation change efforts,” including therapy by licensed psychotherapists. I was there as an expert witness in opposition. Maybe Low wasn’t aware the United States is a republic? In the oath to our American flag we pledge “to the Republic for which it stands.” And I noticed in the Capitol the state flags read, “California Republic.”

Wow! I love the fact that we have more people waking up and educating the public that we are a RE-public. What is a republic, according to Pastor Jim?

​In a republic, a constitution protects inalienable minority rights that cannot be taken away by the government, especially not by a majority party. By virtue of being inalienable, those rights can’t be voted on, only recognized.

Men and women have rights which the government cannot take away. They are granted to us by God! We have news anchors, like the diminishing hack Chris Cuomo of CNN, who do not understand this fundamental, founding principle of our country.

Pastor Jim gets it, and we need more Californians to wake up and fight for these rights at all costs. Are we not simply "possessing our possessions"? (Obadiah 16)

This is the case of AB2943, as the majority in California’s Legislature are Democrats who wholeheartedly embrace the pro-LGBTQ+ agenda. But above all laws are the California Constitution and the United States Constitution, each with a Bill of Rights.

Yes, now tell us about those rights, Pastor Him!

I have an incomprehensible love and compassion for my LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters. I have dedicated my life to ministering among them and bringing them closer to Christ.

AMEN! The movement to stand for truth is pro-faith, pro-family, pro-freedom. It's about truth, not error, not hatred, not disrespect. There can be no love when there are no boundaries, when there is no recognition of God's grace and truth--which IS one! (John 1:17)

What I object to is when legislators attempt to remove essential tools for psychological therapy (applied to any number of sexual issues), and to infringe upon the individuals’ rights by specifically targeting a super-minority: “Formers,” the name given to former homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, gender-confused and those that were same-sex attracted.

That's another great term to use: "Formers". Used to be.

I think it's worth while for men and women who have left the LGBT world and embraced the REAL world, to embrace the truth who sets us free. (John 8:32)

Much of the opposition has focused on threats to religious liberty. That threat is real. What is often overlooked is the damage to those who desire therapy. This bill puts a cloud over proper, legal and regulated therapeutic remedies by licensed professionals — remedies that avoid the regrettable practices of otherwise well-intended practitioners using abusive and unproven techniques. But the bill also would remove individuals’ rights and target Formers by severely limiting speech and expression of thought.

This is the most important part of this editorial. The focus on the dangerous, destructive nature of homosexuality and transgenderism, the lies on which the whole movement has been based, must be confronted. We have too many people fighting the Homosexual Agenda by focusing on the First Amendment only. They only want to talk about the glaring assault on freedom.

But what value is there in being free if you are in bondage to a lie? How can anyone exercise free will if they do not know that they have a choice? The whole LGBT Movement has forced this argument in our faces for decades: "I was born this way." That's exactly what State Senator Ricardo Lara declared on the floor of the State Senate two weeks ago, and in the wake of this horrid fraud he denounced all reparative therapies as akin to murder.

Shameful, and false. People have a right to seek whatever therapies they choose. Men and women who do not want to fall into and remain in same-sex desires have every right to seek help to engage in heterosexual, i.e. in natural marriage and attraction.

We want this for them in every way. On what basis

The Senate Judiciary Committee heard from over 40 Formers who shared testimonies of successful sexual orientation change. Their change was real. This bill will hurt those who seek to change their lives under the guidance of a licensed professional therapist.

It's all about therapy equality!

Jim Domen and his wife

This is the newer, more expanded element needed for lasting change

Unfortunately, prior to the hearing and outside the Capitol, the committee did not hear two hours of testimonies filled with stories of the suicidal thoughts and attempts and of the heinous sexual abuses committed against almost all the 40 Formers.

Why is that? What happened to the free exchange of ideas from men and women who no longer wish to be trapped in a destructive, dangerous, and deviant lifestyle (or rather, deathstyle) which cuts the average lifespan short by 20%?

The committee ignored the over 500 people testifying in opposition. A Senate staffer told me, “That’s the longest line of opposition testimony I’ve personally experienced in my 14 years at the Capitol.” Said Sophia Bollag of the Associated Press, whose interview with Pastor Ken Williams was aired by ABC Sacramento, “This is the longest ever public comment hearing I’ve ever seen in the Capitol. It wasn’t a small minority of people who came here today — they came from across the state.”

500 people? Incredible! God bless those brave Californians for speaking the truth about homosexuality and transgenderism. God bless those working men and women for taking the time to speak out against this terrible bill.

​Despite the 5-2 committee vote for the bill, I am thankful for AB2943. It has hit a nerve. The government has extended its reach too far. AB2943 silences a people — it promotes their non-existence. I’m hopeful it will not pass the full Legislature.

This is one of many silver linings breaking through the dark cloud of anti-Christian, anti-Biblical, anti-biological reality in the state of California. The more that the state insists on imposing its hateful agenda on the rest of us, the more that "The rest of us" will no longer rest until our legislators recognize that we will no longer sit back and tolerate the repeated abuses against our rights.

​You’ve awakened a compassionate giant, willing to contend for our God-given rights. I lead pastors across this great state of California who respect and follow the God in California’s Constitution, whose preamble begins, “We, the People of the State of California, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, in order to secure and perpetuate its blessings, do establish this Constitution.”

Jim Domen is restoring the founding principles of our country--and our state.

Jim Domen and Family

How quickly the lawmakers in Sacramento have forgotten their place. They are not God. They are not the law. They do not have the final authority on any manner. No matter what happens in Sacramento, the Body of Christ is rising up, restoring its stature, reminding the world that we are hear to preach the Good News that through Christ Jesus, we are justified from all things that we could not be through the law of Moses (Acts 13:38-39), and that our rights, which come from God, will not be taken from us.

Church, Christians, citizens of all backgrounds, it's time to Possess our Possessions!

Jim Domen is a pastor and founder of Church United in Newport Beach.

John McCain: Opportunist, Not a Maverick

US Senator John McCain has died. I imagine that many writers will pile on the praises for the recently-deceased “maverick” US Senator from the Grand Canyon State.

Sorry, but I will not be joining the chorus of eulogies. Perhaps he was a saint in combat, but as an elected official he was one of the dregs. As Thomas Sowell once commented, being a veteran is not a “Get Out of Criticism Free” card. For any veteran’s service, we should be grateful. Their prior efforts in the military, however, do not cover for their failures, fallouts, sins, and betrayals once in office. In 2005, Randy “Duke” Cunningham, a Congressman from the San Diego area, was convicted of multiple bribery charges in 2005. He didn’t get off easy just because he was a veteran. The same standard should hold true for anyone else, regardless of their service in the American Military.

Was McCain a crook? He weathered considerable scandal in the late 1980’s following the Savings and Loan collapse, but was never charged with anything. I have no interest in pursuing allegations, aspersions, or conspiracy theories. On his votes, on his rhetoric, on his policies, I appraise him, and John McCain is found wanting.

It’s hard to imagine someone like this guy replacing Barry Goldwater. Both were Presidential candidates, but Goldwater was a gold standard conservative. With a consistent libertarian streak, Goldwater stood by his principles, demanding a clean sweep of the D.C. Swamp long before such calls were popular. When President Richard Nixon was foundering under credible obstruction of justice charges, Goldwater joined with then House minority leader Ben Rhodes (also of Arizona) to urge Nixon’s resignation.

In stark contrast, John McCain was not a principled maverick, but a Swampy opportunist, a big government militarian who shamed those who wanted measured military ventures. He also slammed anyone else who skeptically opposed sudden interventionist campaigns. Even anti-Trump, pro-K Street conservative contrarian took offense when McCain questioned the patriotism of his anti-war critics.

There was a time, however, when John McCain stood for principle, bucking his party because he thought it was the right thing to do. In 2000 he ran against George W. Bush, the so-called Establishment favorite, capturing the outsider momentum in the New Hampshire primary with double-digit victory. When Texas Governor George W. Bush realized that he couldn’t follow his father’s centrist globalism to win the nomination, he turned right, slammed McCain with controversial smears (or at least his supporters did), and swept South Carolina. Of course, McCain’s blasting the “religious right” didn’t endear him to conservatives, either.

After Bush’s election, the maverick became a fly-by-night statist. Big Government “Compassionate conservatism” was the way to win big money for a political future, so McCain began voting that way. He had a penchant for voting against his political rivals’ agendas, too. He voted against Bush’s tax cuts. He pushed for McCain-Feingold campaign finance “reform.” He was willing to work with moderate pro-military Democrat Joseph Lieberman to combat climate change.

The greatest betrayal, of course, came with his ongoing dance with Democrats and other Chamber of Commerce Republicans for comprehensive immigration “reform”, i.e. amnesty. Thankfully, these proposals failed many times, and yet McCain insisted on this disastrous agenda, while representing a border state where one of his potential successors has called for building a wall between Arizona and California.

As a Presidential candidate, he was never my first choice. I lined up behind firebrand Congressman Tom Tancredo, then Romney for one reason: immigration. McCain did win the nomination in spite of massive opposition within the GOP, so I supported him in the general election. It’s remarkable, then and now, how little McCain wanted to fight back. Once in a while, he mocked his upstart opponent, Junior Senator Barack Obama. This historic first-time black nominee, however, hindered McCain’s capacity to campaign vigorously. Did the county want to bring in a nationalized health care system? A corrupt cap and trade program? Obama was planning to change the country and the world, but McCain spent more time distancing himself from Bush, all while suspending his campaign to bail out the Big Banks.

McCain the Swamp Thing embraced greater odium when he ran for re-election as a US Senator. Campaigning against his amnesty pandering, he fought hard to veer right during the 2010 Tea Party primary. “Build the Dang Fence” he growled. Two years later, he was building more bridges with amnesty proponents, playing both sides to make himself the star of the show in the middle.

Granted, John McCain was a hero. As a war prisoner in Hanoi, he refused to be released before others who had been imprisoned longer than he. For the record, Trump had acquiesced that McCain was a hero: "He's a war hero because he was captured," Trump had said, "I like people that weren't captured."  I also like veterans who do not get captured by bitterness and grandstanding. McCain hated Trump, and I hated McCain’s disdain. Shameful. Like so many Washington fixtures, McCain couldn’t stand that Trump, who wasn’t “one of them” had captured the White House, something that the privileged son of two naval officers couldn’t do.

The culmination of McCain’s personal opprobrium broke out not with the leaked Steele Dossier, but his “No” vote on against the Obamacare skinny repeal. Never have I witnessed such self-serving grandstanding. With arm raised high, after fifteen minutes of fraternizing with both sides of the aisle, he killed a real chance at repeal of that terrible bill, not because it wouldn’t serve Arizonans, but because his legacy of bipartisan double-dealing had come to an end with Trump’s ascension, and McCain was going to frustrate as many as he could with him.

Cancer is a terrible thing, and it must have been a tough decision for McCain and family to see him renounce further treatment. I recognize his service as a soldier, but as a representative, as a politician he was another self-serving opportunist, and I feel no remorse that he is gone.

Black Supremacist South Africa, About to Die of Thirst

South Africa’s Worse Drought in 30 Years--Facing Water Shut Off!

Don Boys, Ph.D.

There is a major water shortage over many parts of the earth. Headlines this month bemoan the shortage of water in Germany, France, Sweden, Netherlands, and England. There is no grass to feed the cattle causing farmers in European nations to feed their cattle hay that was cut in June. There will be no second cutting this month so there is growing concern about feeding the cattle through the winter.

Water is essential to everyone everywhere all the time, but conditions are especially disastrous in South Africa.

South Africa, among its many political, economic, and racial troubles, is in the middle of their worst drought in thirty years. And no hope is in sight. Crops are drying in the fields, livestock are dying beside dry river beds, jobs have been lost, people are restless, and politicians are making excuses and blaming each other.

After British and America globalists pressured the white majority government out of power (1994) in South Africa and turned it over to Nelson Mandela and his nefarious crew at the Communist-controlled African National Congress (ANC), it was to be a bright future for everyone. However, it was not to be since the Communists have run the nation into the ground as they always have everywhere. In addition to many other problems, they have a rapidly-approaching nation-wide water shortage. This water shortage is compounded by failed Communist/Socialist policies of freebies for all.

Need I mention that water is more essential than oil? The water well, not the oil well, is where the next major battle will be fought. The U.S. can go a long time without oil, especially with our reserves, but we can live only a few days without water. And everyone on earth is involved. Experts predict that by 2020 about 30% to 40% of the world will have a water shortage. The Huffington Post reported that about 4 billion people (66% of the world’s population) are without sufficient access to fresh water “for at least one month of the year.”

Cape Town (South Africa’s second largest city) is facing Day Zero when the water supply will be cut off and everyone will have to appear at one of 200 water collecting points in the city of four million people. The troubled nation declared a national disaster in Cape Town on February 13, 2018 as the city's water supply was predicted to run dry before the end of June. With its dams only 24.9% full (56.9% as of this week due to rain and enforced water restrictions), water-saving measures were in effect that required each citizen to use less than 50 liters a day--about 13 gallons--for drinking, showering, cooking, etc.

I smell rebellion and mobocracy in the air!

One politician warned, “The people and economy of the Western Cape are on the verge of a possible water supply blackout." Day Zero was expected in 2018 but they muddled through and hope they can forestall disaster through next year. Authorities are expecting major problems even to calling in the army to keep order.

It doesn’t take much imagination to expect major confrontations as thousands of hot, thirsty, stinking people line up for water. The frustrations will be compounded because the Western Cape Water Supply System has already placed a 45% water use restriction for domestic users and 60% for agriculture. If the farmers can’t irrigate, especially during a prolonged drought, food will not be produced and people will starve.

Starving, thirsty people are impossible to control.

The drought has already led to huge losses of livestock and crops. Such losses--as well as individual families without ready access to water—are on everyone’s mind.

A South African politician said, “Current water crisis in Cape Town requires a massive public involvement process where citizens adhere to and assist in identifying those who still continue to use water irresponsibly.” Translation: squeal on your water-using neighbors. That will be an interesting development. Officials report that 60 percent of Cape Town residents are still not complying with current restrictions.

Politicians in the national and provincial governments are fussing with each other as they, like all politicians, try to cover-up their own failures. Placing blame is easier than solving the problem. Instead of taking the necessary measures, they have curtailed the use of water for home and farm and installed electronic meters to monitor and measure water use. It is my opinion that the only reason to monitor and measure the use of free water is to limit it.

A senior government official told an ANC meeting that the water shortage was in part caused by the Whites (sure, who else?) in the previous administration who built the dams too large. Even a non-engineer knows that dams conserve, retain, and store water to be released as needed. But blame whitey when you get thirsty.

Recently the Minister of Water & Sanitation said in a speech while trying to address the water situation that South Africans should save tap water by drinking other forms of liquids. She said people don't always have to drink tap water as any form of liquid can help when they are thirsty and stressed. She recalled how she and a friend were lost in the mountains of Bloemfontein when they were young. There were no dams, lakes, or rivers nearby and they ended up drinking dog urine. She testified that their stress was gone immediately and they managed to find their way home. The water official indicated that if people are stressed, maybe they should drink dog urine and save a lot of water.

Is anyone surprised South Africa is in trouble with such officials in office?

So, South Africans, save water. Don’t get a glass of water from your kitchen faucet, go to Spot’s dog house and ask him to fill your glass. And get relieved of stress, saving water at the same time.

The failure of the water supply is a failure of policies of the Communist government that believes the Communist/Socialist system really works; however, as always, reality sets in and the poor fools realize that it has never worked because Communism/Socialism is impossibly unworkable. After the fall (or push) from power of the hated but efficient white government, the ANC party took control to forge a workers’ paradise but it has become a workers’ nightmare where all the workers (black and white) are thirsty.

The city of Durban was the first South African city to introduce a policy of free basic water in 1998 and the ANC promised all South Africans free basic water during a municipal election campaign in December of 2000.

Those politicians evidently haven’t heard that nothing is free—except the Gospel.

Since 2000, the politicians introduced a policy of free basic services, including water (first six cubic meters per month are free), electricity, and solid waste collection. Each major city decides if free basic water will be available to everyone or only to the poor and most cities provide free basic water to all or almost all their residents. The program reached 86% of all homes by 2012.

This long time coming water shortage has resulted in limited drinking water, little water for farm irrigation, little water for cattle and horses, and limited water for cooking, washing clothes, showering, and sanitation.

The expansive vision of the National Development Plan for Water Resources and Services is that, by 2030, all South African citizens “will have affordable access to sufficient safe water and hygienic sanitation to live healthy and dignified lives.” That’s nice but little help if you are dirty, thirsty, and hungry today.

In 2010, about 11 million South Africans (20% of the population) did not have access to improved sanitation so their only options were to use bucket toilets (3 million); to share facilities (4 million); or practice open defecation (4 million).

The problem of open defecation is continent-wide, not limited to South Africa.

Nearly 540 million people, more than 60 percent of Africa’s population, currently practice open defecation according to the African Development Bank Group. And worldwide, more than a billion people still “go out back” to take care of one of life’s most important functions. Moreover, in all those areas, they do so where deadly cobras, lions, tigers, etc., roam freely. Seems as if that ever-present danger would cause “bashful bladder” and “bashful bowel,” especially at night. 

Israel offered in 2016 to help South Africa construct desalination plants, but South Africa rejected the offer. After all, Israel was “oppressing” the “Palestinians” in Gaza.

If South Africa is to come out of this water crisis without a major revolution where hundreds of thousands of innocent people are killed, they had better do more than restrict water. They should dump Communism/Socialism pronto and recognize that those leaders, including Mandela, totally failed to anticipate water and sanitation problems.

They should require working families to pay for water. 

They should remove and jail the many political thugs from office and replace them with honest people who are kept honest by strict accountability.

They should hire foreign engineers to replace the ones who fled the bleeding nation for better opportunities.

They should repair the locks and dams even if the money must be taken from secret Swiss bank accounts controlled by corrupt leaders.

They should renovate the gold and diamond mines bringing them back to first and best in the world and charge them a temporary tax until the water flows again.

They should not be too proud to accept help from the Israelis to develop more desalination water systems.

However, the South African leaders would prefer to parrot the Communist line that all Communist/Socialist nations follow than to admit it has contributed to their present most critical problems.

Drought, dissension, and disorder!
