Boy, Does It Sure Feel Like the 1930s!

October 3, 2022

Boy, Does It Sure Feel Like the 1930s! Al Perrotta Welcome to October! Our first stop in the new month has to be in Florida and the Carolinas ... and a call to action.  The Stream's parent organization, LIFE Outreach International, is responding with crisis relief to help as many as possible who have been impacted by Hurricane Ian. Thank you for praying, for caring and sharing LIFE in times of crisis. RESPOND WITH LIFE >> Biden Calls Coast Guard Hero He's About to Boot Out of the Coast Guard Over the weekend, Joe Biden thanked Aviation Survival Technician Second Class Zach Loesch and Lt. Col. Christopher Hooper “for the heroic work that they and their Coast Guard colleagues have performed during search and rescue operations in response to Hurricane Ian.” Here’s the gut-punch. This same Joe Biden is kicking this same Zach Loesch out of the Coast Guard. Twice Loesch has requested an exemption from Biden’s military vax mandate on religious grounds. Twice he’s been rejected. He’s expected to be booted out sometime in the next 30-60 days. Said Loesh, “If I had asked any of the people I saved yesterday if they wanted to come with me even though I am unvaccinated, every single one of them would have said ‘yes.’”  Boy, Does It Sure Feel Like the 1930s! With each passing day it seems more and more as if the entire nation has climbed into Dr. Emmett Brown’s DeLorean and been transported into the 1930s. The American Church in 2020s = German Church in 1930s As we saw from the two videos we posted with Eric Metaxas last week, the American Church is acting precisely like the German church in the early 1930s. If you missed that special interview with James Robison for LIFE Today, here it is. That dealt with the rise of fascism. But we’re also seeing the anti-Semitism. Jewish-Free Zones at Berkeley? “Never again?” Try right now at Cal State Berkeley. Berkeley, once the proud home of free speech and free thought, is going full 1930s Germany and setting up, in effect Jewish-Free Zones. According to the Jewish Journal, “Nine different law student groups at the University of California at Berkeley’s School of Law, my own alma mater, have begun this new academic year by amending bylaws to ensure that they will never invite any speakers that support Israel or Zionism.” Terror Campaign Against Political Foes Dozens of churches and pro-life centers have been attacked, including fire bombings straight out of the 1930’s Klan playbook and the Night of Broken Glass. Has anyone been arrested? Anybody had their houses raided? Another element straight out the 1930s fascist and racist handbook? Blaming the victims. CompassCare in Buffalo is one of the crisis pregnancy centers targeted by the terrorists. Firebombed on June 7. The terror group Jane’s Revenge took responsibility CompassCare turned surveillance video over to police. According to CEO Rev. James Harden, when he went to get the videos back, Amherst Police Dept. refused to hand them over. Why? Because of fears the videos would inspire “right-wing violence.”   “The FBI has gone from abdicating their duty to provide equal justice under the law to pro-life people–to people like us—to downright attacking us,” said Harden. BONUS BREW: Leaders Inciting Violence And How About a Little Good Ol' Fashion Racism?  Kamala Harris is getting heat for suggesting Ian disaster relief will favor "communities of color." Basing assistance on skin color? How retro of the Democrats to go back to their roots. "It is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions," Harris had said. "We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity." Last night, Harris dodged a question asking her to clarify her comments.   Along The Stream A fascinating two-fer. Dr. Michael Brown and John Zmirak both drop columns dealing with the importance of Christian leaders to stand up and speak out. But two wildly different approaches. Dr. Brown offers an adamant “If You Are A Christian Leader, You Should Have a Target on Your Back.” John comes in with the satire “A Letter to My Fellow Mediocrities” Worth reading them back to back.
