In Los Angeles a golf-club-wielding homeowner slew a burglar whom he found "ransacking his home in the south Crescent Heights neighborhood. Preliminary judgment: "justifiable homicide" (Washington Times, 12 April). Of course, it is not justified to kill someone for stealing. And maybe the homeowner was a selfish, paranoid, propertied, rich SOB. But the homeowner, who was a real person, had reason to suspect that his life was in danger. He was innocent; the thief, and aggressor, forfeited his right to life when he threatened the innocent. A killing, indeed; no murder. Julie Marie Meade, a 16-year-old in Prince George's County, Maryland, called 911 and threatened to kill herself with a gun. Police arrived with their guns. She came out of the apartment and pointed her gun at officers who filled her torso with bullets.
Bystanders wondered why they didn't shoot her in the leg or arm. Oh well, five officers were placed on administrative leave (Washington Times, 21 Nov). Justifiable homicide. Pure and simple. How much more justified is the killing of a man who hires himself out to kill innocent children. Ah, but Americans need abortion to accommodate their fornicatory hedonism. Paul Hill's extremist judges -- There were seven Florida State Supreme Court Judges who presided over Paul Hill's appeal. They were asked to consider whether he was afforded a fair trial when his opportunity to present a case for justifiable homicide was denied by the trial judge Frank Bell. They voted to uphold Judge Bell's decision. The justices essentially stopped their ears, preferring to turn their faces away from a man whose only opportunity to live was to simply explain why he would give up a happy life with his wife and children and risk death and to argue how his actions were legally defensible. They regard him as an extremist, a man whose actions are too far-out to warrant a serious hearing. (Are they so foolish as to think his preaching will die with his body?)
We think they have some eccentricities of their own. In the opposite direction of Truth, some apparently have an affinity for relativism (which leads to statism). No final authority over government? Then government (expressing its will through judges) is the final authority. In particular, we note that two of the justices, including Chief Justice Stephen H. Grimes, are members of the Episcopal church--that peculiar brand of open-minded folks who raise the eyebrows of other "progressives" over their shameless march toward ordination of sodomites along with all the controversy over sundry pedophilia scandals among their clergy. Their sophisticated broad-mindedness has led them far beyond the countenancing of "abortion rights." These progressives, nevertheless, are certainly outside the mainstream. Another Justice, Charles Wells, is a United Methodist. This band of reprobates houses the offices of the Religious Coalition of Abortion Rights in their ornate United Methodist Building across the street from the U.S. Supreme Court. Two of seven indicate no church membership on their official resumes. (Are they pagans or just trying to be sly? Or sly pagans?) Two have five children; one has four; the rest have three. Not extremists for these times, but certainly all these are men who believe in limiting family size. Are they prejudiced against those who don't? Why not hear a man who believes children are a blessing from God, created in His image, to be respected and protected from conception? What do they fear? The privileged Vampire Rapist (AP, 7 August, 1996) -- He didn't do too bad. John Crutchley was sentenced by a circuit judge from Tallahassee, the same city in which the Florida justices refused Paul Hill a fair trial. This man, sentenced to 25 years for kidnapping and raping a 19-year-old woman and draining and drinking half her blood, is out after 10 years. (He had offered to plead to six counts of murder to avoid the death penalty. No deal from the prosecutors; trial and conviction on lesser counts.) So far so good; no one has been raped and blood-sucked so far that we know of. He was released in Florida last year on the eighth of August. If only anti-abortionists were treated as well as the vampire rapist. Don Benny Anderson, in since '82; Joseph Grace, in since '83; Curt Beseda released after 12 years and thrown in again on 24 March for refusing psychiatric drugs as a condition for continuing on parole.
A fairminded person might call this growing record of hostile sentences against anti-abortionists a clear example of "disparity of sentencing." And so it may go for a while since anti-abortionist convicts (especially with the passage of FACE) are now political criminals.
Capital punishment and the pope-- In concert with one of the fundamental laws of theological liberalism, the pope is fighting the death penalty. He opposes capital punishment for people who commit capital crimes. Three times in 1996, the pope sought to intercede in U.S. executions. The latest, Joseph O'Dell was convicted of raping, sodomizing, and strangling one Helen Schartner. The pope made appeals to Clinton and Governor George Allen. He was joined in his petition by "Dead Man Walking" author Sister Helen Prejean and the Italian government. George Allen stood tough and was prepared to execute final temporal judgment (he's 14 and 1 since he took charge in '94; we don't know the conditions surrounding the sole clemency he granted). But the U.S. Supreme Court, that fount of many a foul spirit, granted clemency to O'Dell (AP, Richmond, 18 December). An AP report from 14 December said that the latest "official Roman Catholic teaching holds that capital punishment should be used only if it is absolutely necessary to protect society." Hmm. Is that in Second Delusions, chapter two? Or just another profusion from pop theology that one would find at any number of leftist Protestant seminaries across the land where all books but the Scriptures are revered? And John Paul said in "Evangelium Vitae" that such cases are "practically nonexistent." Indeed, he rejects the biblical justice of capital punishment for capital crimes. And he flies in the face of the Christian Church's historical doctrine and practice. The good news is that we can now expect John Paul, the Italian government, and Hollywood to come to Paul Hill's aid. Angels v. Algore Kaczynski -- How about that revival down in Atlanta? God is answering prayer! And the state which gave us Ahab was rewarded with a 250-mile swath cut by 20 tornadoes from the southwest to the northeast of the state on the Lord's Day (2 March). Reuters called it "An apocalyptic series of tornadoes." Yes, the angels of God are taking some action. Two months prior to the ripping of Clinton's home state, Vice President Gore, addressing a band of viragos at a NARAL meeting in Fed City on the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade edict, declared unto his august assemblage of feminoids that "Regardless of our views . . . we will not let this issue tear us apart as a country." The speech came within days after the bombing of death camps in Atlanta and Tulsa. But Algore seemed to be especially sparked into an emotional delivery by the little firecracker that went off outside the Mayflower hotel where he and Hillary were speaking. (Must still be suffering from shell shock from his old days in the Army.)
The country might have been well impressed with the Linconesque imagery had Algore been on the right side of the issue. But since he decided to switch sides and join hands with the modern counterpart of the pro-slavers, his speech is expected to fall kind of flat, historically speaking, despite all the histrionics and affectations of passion for justice. Hamlet-like, he addressed a spirit in the room: "The American people will not tolerate your cowardly crusade[!] . . . we will not let you terrorize America's women or their doctors" (Dallas Morning News, 23 January, 1997). Yes, he really got that stellar crowd of America's grandest ladies to cheer wildly when he vowed to catch those responsible for "the horror" of those attacks. Felisone has passed rumors to the effect that Algore is going to deploy some of his anti-smoking police disguised as Buddhist monks into the anti-abortion movement to find some evidence to stir up fear of those anti-abortion extremists who conspire to deny women their right to [slaughter their children]. Go get 'em Algore. "Violence [read: force] at clinics decreases" -- So says a headline in the Washington Times (23 Jan.). That is our general impression as well; hence, our joy at the news from Atlanta and Tulsa. Those January rescues were followed quickly by additional forceful rescue attempts in the past few months in Bozeman, California by John Yankowski and Falls Church, Virginia by James Mitchell.
Nevertheless, prior to these sacrificial and eleemosynary deeds, the recession of forceful intervention was reported by NAF queen Vicki Saporta (AP, 16 January). Queen Vicki had said that the recent Atlanta and Tulsa demolitions showed "that abortion violence is a problem that is continuing at unacceptable levels." (Amen.) She mourned about the three arson attempts at the A-Z abortuary in Phoenix, Arizona; an armed robbery at a Planned Barrenhood of Dallas and another in Northeast Texas. Finally, she mentioned that an abortionist was stabbed at a New Orleans abortuary. We hadn't heard about the knifing innovation. This is yet another approach to the issue. Certainly this method avoids all the extraneous firearms and explosives counts which can be arrayed against a rescuer. But certainly the cons must outweigh the pros when the higher probability of capture is given due consideration. Well, there are lots of choices to be made out there. And we eclectic Americans can thank the Lord for choices. We are ashamed to acknowledge that we knew nothing about this chivalrous fellow until reading an old report lo these several months after it was made as we prepare this issue of CACN! Moreover we are not privy to the man's name. The report says he "nearly stabbed to death" the first murderer and that he travelled on to a Baton Rouge abortuary with his knife but was arrested 15 minutes before the second murderer arrived. Again, we blush over our ignorance of this heart warming effort to eliminate the more deleterious elements of society. And lacking an interview with the man, we don't know whether he was acting defensively or not. It doesn't seem like he was protecting any relatives. Our guess is that he might have had a relative already murdered by an abortionist. He may have been taking on the duty of the blood avenger, dutifully seeking vengeance against the murderer of his own kin (Joshua 20). In this case, the high-handed abortionist was not hiding in a "city of refuge," but flagrantly going about the shedding of more innocent blood (Num. 35:27). We pray for acquittal by a righteous judge. Other statistics offered by NAF: 13 death threats against abortionists in 1996 compared with 41 in 1995, 59 in 1994 , and 78 in 1993. Bomb threats fell from 41 in 1995 to 13 last year. Altogether, their 350 member abortuaries from sea to shining sea reported 110 violent incidents compared with 158 in 1995, 160 in 1994 and 434 in 1993. (Commercial break) Calendars from the First Annual White Rose Banquet! -- We expect that the Almighty might send more heavenly hosts to perform more drastic and powerful rescue operations as the feds continue to wield the FACE law, quenching more peaceful efforts to save lives. We shall intitule this phase of the movement the FACE LIFT. The calendar has an aesthetic appeal to anyone who thinks ethically (biblically) and appreciates the Almighty's longstanding use of force to get things done. For a collection of lovely historical pictures of destroyed abortuaries, we are making available our remaining 1996 White Rose Calendars for you. These mementos (about 50 left) are available for the modest price of $10 each. (We promise that none of this money will be used to pay Planned Barrenhood off should they, by some stroke of judicial impudence, win their $1.4 billion lawsuit.) A Time to Kill -- Grisham's popular book/movie was reviewed by my local paper last year. Connie Jenkins approvingly judged it to be a "moving indictment of racism." And her co-reviewer, Jean O'Conner calls it a "drama with a moral dilemma"; yes, and she says it "will provide fodder for philosophical discussion over the moral rights of man." (Bowie Blade-News, 1 Aug., 1996)
I assume they are talking about the vengeance taken by father against those who raped his daughter. We are glad these film critics have the capacity to understand the propriety of vigilante justice in the absence of the same from the standing courts. We expect similar reviews of a much-needed movie by the same title about the deeds of Paul Hill. Of course this one is much less controversial given the absence of the retribution and vigilante issues. Here is a case of simple forceful defensive action. Bozeman, Montana-- John Yankowski brought us a measure of elation when he set the roof of Abortionist Susan Wickland's abortuary on fire. Wickland is the same wench who complained about letters from Michael Ross. (Ross is doing 10 years for strongly exhorting this predator to cease from childslaughter lest some nasty fate-- such as that which had recently befallen Abortionist Gunn by means of Michael Griffin--overtake her as well.) "Four fires were set on the roof . . . at about 2:50 a.m." on 2 April (Bozeman Daily Chronicle, 3 April). But, to our dismay, abortion defenders Bill Dove and Tim Colvin were on the scene rather than working an honest job elsewhere. Mr. Colvin was keeping his eye out for any defenders of the innocent lest they do damage to the death camp on which he depends. He "was walking around the building when he saw smoke, flames, and a man on the roof." Rather than assist the deliverer, Mr. Colvin, like a good Nazi, "notified authorities." To Mr. Colvin's further shame, the speedy arrival of the fireman, who "cut into the roof to make sure the fire hadn't spread," prevented the fire from becoming a "very significant structure fire," according to Chief Chuck Winn.
Building manager Debbie Smith said the deed generated a divestment of the abortion industry by several thousand dollars. She did not offer calculations on the collateral damage (e.g. higher insurance rates, possible loss of income from refusal by herself to rent to abortionists in the future, and loss of income from the immediately broken appointments; viz., that 20 % of women do not reschedule appointments once they fail to keep them). Nor did we hear whether Chief Winn regrets the assistance to the death camp which he rendered in extinguishing the fire. He has made himself partially culpable for the bloodshed which will be generated at the facility which he protected and preserved. Yankowski was indicted on 17 April by a grand jury of American buffoons. He faces two counts (a 20- and a 10-year term, if run consecutively, amounting to 30 as you home schooled readers can readily calculate). The prosecutors would also like to get a quarter million in fines out of Mr. Yankowski's jailed hide. He has remained to this day since 2 April in prison. John's father, Stanley, writes, "The Federal Authorities have determined that John Yankowski should be held without bail because he is violent and a flight risk from prosecution. 325 occupants of the Medical Arts Facility [abortuary] have indicated so in letters to the prosecution. My son has never in his life exhibited any violent tendency and has never failed to appear in answering charges to his activist activity. His father's offer to place all his financial resources in the hands of the Federal Authorities as a guarantee against his flight risk was unacceptable. . . The U.S. Government intends to keep him there and will succeed in doing so unless there is an outcry for justice from the public at large."
John's court appointed attorney is David Ness, 401 North Washington Ave., Missoula, MT, (406) 721-5886. Life and death in California-- Maybe it was the news out of San Bernadino that inspired Peter Howard up in Bakersfield. "Two children playing in a field led investigators to five cardboard boxes containing 30 human fetuses" said the AP report (15 March).
"It appears that they might have come from an abortion clinic," said Sgt. Paul Cappitelli. Nah. Come now! A women's "clinic" is where medical services are provided for health purposes! Why would dead babies be found there? California dreamin' -- Did the news of this San Bernadino atrocity provide inspiration for good deeds? Our gratitude to Peter Howard, 44, for his good intentions in donating his pickup camper to the prolife cause by driving it "brimming with more than a dozen gasoline cans and propane bottles" into an abortuary in Bakersfield (Bakersfield Californian, 18 March, 1997). Sgt. Danny Shrider of the Bakersfield Police Department bomb squad said, "If it had worked the way he wanted it to, it could have taken out about half the building." We are truly let down. It would have been a fine way to glorify St. Patrick's Day evermore. Nevertheless, we praise Mr. Howard for his perseverance and faithfulness in trying to get the job done. It happened in this wise according to the local report: "The scene early Monday unfolded in front of a private security guard posted at the [death camp]. The guard watched as the pickup came careening into the parking lot and crashed through the doors of the [abortuary] just after 2 a.m. . . the driver got out, walked to the back of the truck, used a barbecue lighter to ignite newspapers and a hemp rope soaked with fuel, then calmly walked away." No suicidal effort, Sgt. Bill Henry said, "He was wearing a white full-faced motorcycles helmet and earplugs when he touched off the fire." However, he was prepared for the worst. "Also found in the back of the truck were envelopes addressed to several local media outlets and a notebook with instructions on what Howard wanted done if he died or was critically injured in the attack." Friends contacted by the local paper reported on Howard's fine character, but also made the usual stupid comments. "A woman who knew Howard from church told The Californian that he was always shy and gentle and that she was shocked by Monday's events." Another, Connie Brandt, said, "He was a very gentle man, very kind."
And such is what one might reasonably expect from a gentle man who truly love the innocent and cannot tolerate the abuse of helpless little people. Is not our gentle Jesus also the Lamb of Wrath who cleansed the temple? Is this gentle One not He who punishes unrighteousness on the earth, riding, as it were, on a war horse? Tim Palquist, who runs the local LifeSavers Ministry, disgraced himself and belied the truth, saying, "We're shocked and saddened to hear that Pete Howard is the suspect." And he distanced himself from this martyr: "We specifically have a nonviolence pledge for everyone." Lovely, Tim. Keep your proud and deferent proclamations of nonviolent pledges for another day. This short hour was Pete Howard's. And rather than honor him, you denied him and the truth. And you disgraced yourself.
Hatred from the left-- John Salvi's death on 29 November was not good enough for the leading 'borts of Massachusetts. The Boston Globe (1 Feb., 1997) reported an ironic triumph for Salvi which occurred on 21 January. Staff writer John Ellement's first paragraph reads as follows: "In what may be the ultimate technicality, John Salvi III's two murder convictions in the 1994 shootings at two women's health clinics have been wiped out, with all criminal charges dismissed, because he died before his appeal was heard." That was on 21 January. For at least the past 25 years the Massachusetts "Supreme Judicial Court has held that if a defendant dies before his conviction is reviewed, the charges are dismissed." Relatives of the decedents along with the spiritually dead Governor were "outraged." Upon hearing this news, Governor Weld "vowed to overturn the judge's 'ridiculous' ruling and ensure future criminals will not escape justice through death." (An odd thing to say from a Governor who is supposedly investigating the cause of suspicious circumstances of Salvi's death.) This governor obviously has a hatred problem. He hates anti-abortionists. No doubt his conscience is offended by the knowledge that these political opponents rightly regard him as a champion of murder. Misguided Molotov-- We have searched the Urbana, Illinois papers in vain to find just cause for John E. Ewing Jr.'s deed. He hit Circuit Judge George Miller in the head with a Molotov cocktail on 9 April. The gasoline fire caused $100,000 to the Champaign County Courthouse. Ostensibly, Ewing was mad at the judge for dismissing a lawsuit he had filed against a grocery store in 1988 for slipping on a floor. In our cursory search for evidence of the judge jailing anti-abortionists, freeing pedophiliacs and murderers, or granting rights to sodomites, we could find no instance of judicial behavior which would have justified Ewing's actions. Ewing had filed several such suits over the years and grew angrier as they were rejected. He also thought that government agencies were attempting to read his mind and plot against him. Our search also produced no evidence that Mr. Ewing was an anti-abortion activist. Again, his fears as well as his deeds are not therefore justified.
We reflect upon Mr. Ewing with regret for what seems to be wasted talent. He graduated fifteenth in his class of 173 at Percy L., Julian High School in Chicago. And he seems to have had a good arm. There were other courtrooms; other judges. Bill Koehler in North Bergen, NJ-- One of our Rad Fringe reps in New Jersey helped organize one of those Back to High School messages promoted by Flip's Operation Rescue. Flip got all flustered and phoned in a complaint to Bill Koehler when he answered T.V. interviewer questions in the affirmative regarding the use of force to save children. Poor Bill was just preaching the word, but simple truth is hard even for believers to swallow. Robert Alleva--The fifteen-year-old became the youngest deliverer of the innocent to be captured. Hailing from Bixby, Oklahoma, Mr. Alleva's deeds were alleged to have been performed a few miles away in Tulsa. The abortuary, located at 6136 E 32nd Place "was attacked three times earlier this year. The building was firebombed with Molotov cocktails on Jan.1, damaged with pipe bombs on Jan. 19, and vandalized by gunshots on Feb. 2" (Tulsa World, March 28). This is perseverance. We don't know whether two attacks at the Broken Arrow abortuary in September of 1996 were also performed by Mr. Alleva. The sentencing, shrouded in secrecy, was scheduled for 27 March but may have taken place the day before. The maximum he could have received as a juvenile was five years. Nancy Kachel, executive director of regional Planned Barrenhood abortuaries was of the impression that U.S. Chief District Judge Terry C. Kern was going to strike the middle. The day after the January performance, abortuary director Sherri Finik "acknowledged the [death camp] has endured various attacks since it opened about 10 years ago, but said there has been none in the last two years. In the past the building has been burglarized and vandalized, a bullet was shot through a window, and the locks have been glued shut." The life style of Finik and her employees may be supported lucratively by all that blood money, but they "continually live in fear" (Tulsa World, 2 Feb.). Nevertheless, the intrepid, albeit foolish, Finik voiced words reminiscent of a pre-enlightened George Wallace: "If the building stands or burns to the ground, the freedom of choice is here forever." We remember those words he has since abjured: "Segregation yesterday, segregation today, segregation forever." We shall see how long a land which grants freedom to slaughter the innocents lasts.
[We recommend that letters of commendation be sent to Robert's grandfather, Nick Alleva, 11206 S. 107th East Ave., Bixby, OK 74008. Such are not solicited by him. We simply offer this to you so that you may remember and encourage prisoners (Heb. 13:3).]
James Anthony Mitchell-- The 38-year-old resident of Nokesville, Virginia is charged with setting on fire the Commonweath Abortuary at the 900 block of West Broad Street in Falls Church, Virginia on 18 February. It had been a long time coming. The last divestment occurred in July of 1994 in the amount of $13,000 within days after Paul Hill performed his good deed in Pensacola. (No one has yet been credited with that excellent work. To God be the glory.) Abortuary Director Wayne Codding, flustered by the break in his cold cash flow, took an incoherent shot at the kind of speech he doesn't like: "It's not unexpected that there are impressionable people who listen to the violent rhetoric of some antiabortion people and take that as a license to commit violent acts" (Washington Post, 20 Feb.). "Violent acts" we understand. (Amen). But what, we wonder, is "violent rhetoric"? Is that when you project lethal spittle when you talk? (We would know more of this technique. If anyone discovers it please pass it on the AOG headquarters.) The Washington Times reported that according to federal court papers filed on 19 February Mr. Mitchell declared his deeds in an interview with an ATF agent who reported: "He caused damage to the clinic because he believes abortion is wrong, that lives are being lost much as they were in Nazi death camps" (20 Feb.).
We like the ambiguous comments of Mayor Alan Brangman: "It is unfortunate that every once in a while you're going to find there are people who don't really care about other people's rights and take the law into their own hands, rightly or wrongly" (Washington Post, 19 Feb.). It is, then, right or wrong to rightly "take the law into their own hands?" Like Californian Peter Howard, Mitchell had been an activist who had picketed and blocked doors. Mitchel was a friend of Kip Gannett and had served with Project Rescue in the late 1980s. While awaiting prosecution, he was sent to the federal Bureau of Prison's prison hospital in Butner, North Carolina. He writes from there in a letter dated 17 March: "The religious materials, other than Bibles, are scarce. If Alexandria and Butner are any indication, it appears that the Nation of Islam is the most active outreach movement. I'm fine for now, and my family is supportive, but these two facilities could use more interesting Christian literature and magazines for casual reading and reference."
A needed ministry. Contact a chaplain and set up donations of good materials from your church or from a Christian publisher. 17,000 bombings and arsons--It is a goodly number of performances. That is the tally at the least since 1977 according to the Washington Post. And that brings us right up to the Atlanta. Are there 17,000 who haven't bowed the knee to Baal? (Well, admittedly, given the evidence of those already captured, the average bomber to demolition ratio must not be one to one. Maybe it is more like one to two or three. That gives us about 7,000 or so who haven't bowed the knee.) But, to be fair, we at CACN staff are not exclusivists. We honor those who use nonforceful means to clog up the blood churning abortion machine. There are several more thousand whose knees bend completely to Christ alone.
McVeigh and federal judges--Did he bomb the wrong building? According to Bobby Joe Farrington, convicted felon with a 33-year sentence for plotting to kill a judge in the Northwest, McVeigh was part of a larger plot to kill four judges with truck bombs (Washington Times, 30 March). Allegedly, the targeted judge, retired U.S. District Judge Fred Daughterty, had an office across the street from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Two others sit in districts of Boise, Idaho; Waco, Texas. One state judge sits in Roundup, Montana. A quick analysis leads to the inference that two of these judges were associated with the much publicized Waco holocaust and the killing of the Weaver family members at the hands of federal agents. We don't know if these judged are tyrants or traitors. But if they are and if McVeigh bombed the wrong building, these mitigating circumstances ought to figure into the calculation of his guilt. Linda Wolfe--She is probably the premiere encourager of prisoners through her relentless letter writing. I remember well hearing from her during my "bit" from 1985 until 1989. Her daughters, Chani and Julie, first began writing at ages nine and twelve respectively. They are now each married and the progenitors of grandchildren to the great delight of the still-gorgeous Linda. One grandchild, Liberty Anne, was born prematurely in 1987 after five and one-half months in gestation and is virtually blind. Linda taped two pictures together for educational purposes. One is a picture of the newly born Liberty Anne; the other a picture of a nameless child of the same age mangled by abortion. I would venture to say that all prisoners and countless other correspondents have received these pictures. Over the years I have seen about twenty copies of the same juxtaposed pictures sent to me by Linda, so zealous is she. The feds have been chasing her for some time. She was summoned before the grand jury in Alexandria back in January of 1995. Unable to attend for health reasons, they deposed her in Oregon at which time she liberally took the Fifth. She was summoned again at another VAAPCON-inspired grand jury in Sacramento on 19 December, 1996.
This time she was "granted immunity" and told that she must testify or be held in contempt, so zealous are they. Moreover, U.S. Attorneys Benjamin Wagner and Charles Stephen wanted "lists of all correspondents." Reportedly, these pictures have been found at the sites where life-saving deeds of destruction have occurred. Some have even been found in the possession of those charged with the good deeds. Hence, the VAAPCON interest in Mrs. Wolfe. Additionally, prosecutors subpoenaed her lone copy of the January 1996 issue of Prayer and Action News in which was reprinted the prized Army of God "manual"! (How is a fellow to keep any good books around the house these days? The feds are scarfing up all the good reading material. We hope to yet get around to reprinting When It Hurts, Call the Army of God. Seems we are always short on time and money.) The interrogation itself focused upon one Dick Andrews with whom, it was contended, she had been arrested and to whom she had written letters. In reply, Mrs. Wolfe acknowledged both possibilities as she has been arrested with and written to myriad fellow Christians. (Federal agents had previously invaded the home of Mr. Andrews and acquired letters from Mrs. Wolfe.) Also of interest to the prosecutors were any promises Mrs. Wolfe might have made to God regarding "loyalty" to the AOG. The whole interrogation was comparable to the questioning of Hillary Clinton. Only Mrs. Wolfe's memory lapses are legitimate, having suffered a concussion at the hands of police a few years ago while blockading an abortuary. Marjorie Reed--To be free at last in November. It will have been 8 years, making her yet another anti-abortion convict on parole. She follows Curt Beseda who concluded 12 years in November and Tom Spinks who concluded 10 in the Spring of 1995. She returns to her husband to help him with aging parents. Congratulations (and we suggest a welcome home gift) may be sent to Marjorie and Robert Reed, 3543 Worden Rd., Oregon, OH 43616.
The 69-year old Fairfax City, Virginia resident has fought for the display of the Nativity scene at Christmas time and the Resurrection of Jesus at Easter on public spaces for 20 years. We commend what must be Gov. Allen's good intentions in inviting her to put up a Nativity scene in his office last year after her bid to put one up in a State House common area was turned down and for having her put a statue of Christ on the cross in his office in March. Unfortunately, the Governor allowed other religious symbols to be displayed to appease the spirits of (polytheistic) multiculturalism. Our risen, conquering Lord is not one of the gods. We ought not to place Him on display as one of many but as the One and Only. If the gods of Kwanza-ism and Hanukkah-ism must be honored along with Christ, then He is better withdrawn. None are like Him. He must stand alone and must not be blasphemed as one of many. Maryland You can kill your babies in the womb, but if you don't strap the ones you spared and yourself in your car, you can be ticketed. Delegate Donald Murphy of Baltimore County commented: "The safety Nazis were out in full force this year." The abortion-tolerating citizens of Maryland are worthy of such totalitarian government. "Maryland! My Maryland!"
"Taxpayers have forked over $20,000 per year since 1979 to reverse sterilization of welfare recipients--something that costs about $1 million a year to do in the first place.
"The sterilization reversals are available to welfare recipients on demand, like the original procedure itself" (Washington Times, 16 June, 1996). "Maryland! My Maryland!" how you must love slavery to sin!
Ex-abortionist Bruce Lucero This Bible-quoting abortionist evacuated his family from Birmingham under the heat of opposition and moved to D.C. The unrepentant abortionist says he did not slaughter children for money. We have not heard any news on his behavior in D.C. But we pray he repents before the father of one of the children he butchered finds him out. Solemn Assembly Assemblies were held at the Capitol and the White House. Anti-abortion Luminaries such as George Grant and Randall Terry called for the nation to repent. Would that these would refrain from conducting these "evil assemblies" (Is. 1) until they repent from condemning those who have defended the innocent with force. Jim Rudd Still preaching on the streets of D.C. with missionary support from a church, he is occasionally arrested for his offensive claims that abortion is murder; ergo, since the Clinton administration supports abortion, it is murderous. Send your youth group for some training in street preaching. Contact Mr. Rudd at 703-528-4494 or fax him at -1098. Art Benedetti Also regularly on the streets, sometimes with a Clinton mask, trench coat, and boxers simulating a flasher and occasionally dragged into court for hanging around abortuaries.

D.C. gangs And abortuary turf go together. Must be a spirit of death hanging around the neighborhood. "Rival Gangs Spread Random Terror Along D.C. Line" (Washington Post, 12 Sept., 1996). The neighborhood is quite a nice one on Pennsylvania Avenue near the Maryland boundary. The Hillcrest abortuary is there. Next to it is a congenial (toward its death camp neighbor) United Methodist Church. Recently, the violent murders which take place quietly inside the abortuary have been mirrored outside by a gang war. They are fighting over the peaceful turf on which the abortuary sits. At least four have been killed and others wounded. "The indiscriminate targeting of innocent people is unusual, even for feuding gangs, according to Capt. Alan Dreher, commander of the D.C. police homicide division." Dreher said, "This predatory behavior shocks the conscience of the community. . . The detectives working the case and myself were outraged. . . It's a sad day for all of us." Another law enforcement source said, "It's like they are playing chicken with innocent people's lives, and it keeps escalating and escalating. The scariest thing is these people in those neighborhoods have no defense against this kind of brutality."
Christianity Today (astray?) David Neff commented in an editorial on the Nov. 1996 issue of First Things in which Chuck Colson, Judge Robert Bork and other professors of law and the like identified our present government as a "regime" which "may be illegitimate."
The pacific CT finds this rhetoric offensive. He said: "Our government clearly has not breached the people's trust to the point that revolution could be justified. But perhaps talk of revolution should be out of bounds" (9 Dec., 1996). We disagree, of course. But we would be heartened with just a little consideration from CT on Paul Hill's plight. Pulling their editorial heads out of the sand and affording serious consideration of the justifiable killing of baby killers, they will avoid incurring the same ignominy that forever rests upon the German church leaders of the '30s. National Review NR editors were more evasive. In their response to the First Things arguments (11 Nov., 1996), they leave open the direct question regarding the legitimacy of our federal government and postulate: "When law and government seriously oppress us (under despotism), fail to protect us (in conditions of anarchy), or threaten our very lives (Nazism, Bolshevism, Pol Pot), then our obligations to them are correspondingly relaxed, negated, or replaced by a duty of resistance. But these circumstances are happily rare [is now such a rare situation?]. In most times and places, we have a simple moral duty to obey the law [Is the present time one of those "most"?]." Bailey for Congress He's the guy who put out all the ads on TV showing slaughtered babies, and he's running again: General Delivery, Central Indiana 47110. 812-732-4444 Bailey II The adjacent state of Illinois also has a good man running for U.S. Senate. Chad Koppie is following the path of Bailey. We don't know where Koppie stands on the issue of capital punishment for abortionists.
Anita Bryant She had mentored Kathy Lee Gifford, employing her as a governess, when Gifford was still Kathy Epstein in the early '70s. The two outspoken Christians had met at a Junior Miss America beauty contest in which Gifford was a high school contestant and Bryant a judge. A former beauty queen, singer with a hit song "Paper Roses," and the orange juice lady on TV, she lost it all when she came out against the sods in Florida. It was 20 years ago when Bryant answered her pastor's call to use the gift of her prestige and come against the advancing sodomy. "People hated me because I spoke the truth. I said back then that it was a death style, not a life style, and that was before we had really heard about AIDS," she said (Washington Times, 27 Jan.).
Her efforts in Dade County led to the repeal of the newly passed sodomite rights ordinance in 1977. But the backlash raised against her by the sods led to the loss of her singing career, a chance at a television variety show, commercial sponsors, and her marriage. Rev. Robert Pearson He is married with children. Fr. Pearson switched membership and priestly duties from the Episcopalians to the Romanists 20 years ago. He was one of 15 arrested for blockading the Englewood, New Jersey abortuary in January. Blockades occurred at the Metropolitan Medical abortuary in August of '96 as well as January, March, and April of this year. Metropolitan is the only New Jersey abortuary which commits the very late term murders known as "partial birth abortion." Also arrested in April was the famed heroine of the "rescue movement," Joan Andrews Bell. We are happy to note that both she and Fr. Pearson have joined us at our White Rose Banquet. There are certainly different callings which the Almighty places upon His people. Both Joan and Fr. Pearson honor those who have used force to defend the innocent, though they have not opted to wield it themselves, to our knowledge.
The federal government, continuing to earn the disdain of upright citizens, filed FACE charges against 30 blockaders on 18 April. It was the 13th time the feds have used Ahab's FACE law against antiabortion protesters. Fr. Pearson's comments recorded in the Bergen Record (19 April) were candid: "What they are doing there is infanticide. The government is just playing games and trying to intimidate us." Perhaps the feds prefer that these peaceful protesters receive a different divine vocation and terminate abortionists, their accomplices, and the federal marshals who serve as the protectors of these bloody murderers. We recall how the Lord changed His mind and "repented" of the destruction he had planned for Nineveh. He does "change his mind" - so to speak - and give folks different callings as the times and situations change. Our hope is that the feds repent of their plans to prosecute the protectors of the innocent. Jezebel advises postponement of fornication "Teenagers are too young. . . My theory is, don't do it before you're 21, and then don't tell me about it" (Daily News, 15 June, 1996). How moderate sounding is our lovely First Lady.
Hope for Hillary
Yes, there is hope for us. "Promiscuous Man Can Give Wife Cancer" is the title of an AP report (7 August, 1996). A study conducted by a professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine concluded that "women are 5 to 11 times more likely to develop cervical cancer if their men frequent prostitutes or have many sexual partners"! (Emphasis ours.) Seems a little creature called papillomavirus (we know not whether this species is protected by the EPA), known as HPV gets passed around by sexual intercourse. Well this certainly bodes well for a nation in need of relief from some particular tyrants and if Hillary catches cancer from Bill, can we bring him up on murder charges? (Starr's investigation is taking so dog-gone long! These memory lapses, paper shreddings, and missing bodies are hell!) Or would the case be vulnerable to justifiable homicide arguments? Belgium's sodomy blues The largest protest march ever held in that country (about 200,00) occurred on 20 October. Murders by pedophiles were not being aggressively investigated and prosecuted. One of the most prodigious indicators of slackness in the investigation was the failure of the government to prosecute an avowed homosexual deputy prime minister who had been charged with sodomizing boys. (Understand the picture: It is okay to commit sodomy with a consenting adult. But no children, please.) Of course, Belgium is where we are going. They are further advanced in fornication fashions, but it seems that they have a significant number of opponents of perversion--at least when it leads to sadistic fulfillment in the slaying of children. Let us hope that when the likes of Barney Frank get into another sex scandal, there will be a few thousand dissidents on the streets before homosexual scandal blossoms into murder. "His Holiness, the Dalai Lama" That's what our Ahab calls him (Washington Times, 24 April). He also refers to the pope as "The Holy Father." What does the clintocator really believe? Does Ahab really believe in abortion, or does he support childslaughter merely out of political convenience? Philip Yancy and the seduction of Christian citizens The Christianity Today editor never criticizes the evangelical left--folks of the Tony Campolo and Jim Wallis stripe. In fact his sympathies have been such that he has earned interviews with Ahab. Now, Ahab is no dummy. He can work the gullible into writing nice reports about himself. Probably the best recent example appeared on the political scene last October when Ahab was vetoing the partial-birth abortion ban and signing the Sodomite-offending "Defense of Marriage Act." The Clinton-Gore campaign shamelessly ran ads designed for Christian radio stations only, in which he distanced himself from his support of infanticide and homosexuals. The ad said, "President Clinton wants a complete ban on late-term abortions, except when the mother's life is in danger or faces severe health risks . . . " Opposition to these lies came loudly from sodomites who objected to their advocate's trumpeting of the anti-sodomite marriage legislation which he had sheepishly signed at midnight. (They succeeded in getting him to drop the part of the ad in which he boasts about his signing of the Marriage Act.) Similarly Ahab has used Christian leaders in positions of influence. He met privately each month with Bill Hybels, pastor of the Chicago mega-church (Hybels was featured on the cover of CT a year ago.), even while he attended an apostate Foundry United Methodist Church in D.C. (the pastor, Philip Wogaman, is an outspoke supporter of sodomy and abortion). He has been interviewed favorably by CT with no editorial reprimand. (How else to keep those limousine rides and interviews coming?) So Yancy goes on the defensive. Apologetically, he says in reply to the issue of Ahab's piety, "Sure he messes up during the week--doesn't everyone? --but come Sunday he goes to church, confesses his sins, and starts over" (Feb. 3, 1997). (Church? What are the doctrines of Wogaman? --Trinity? Hell? Creeds? Authority of the Scripture? How is the group of folks meeting under this man anything but a society of blasphemers?) Yancy received letters from Christian leaders criticizing his uncritical handling of Clinton. He reports that some correspondents "drew parallels with Adolf Hitler, who cynically used pastors for his own purposes. Several more likened us to the church browbeaten by Stalin. Others recalled biblical stories of confrontation: John the Baptist and Herod, Elijah and Ahab, Nathan and David,. Why hadn't I acted more like a prophet, shaking my finger in the President's face?" Fair questions. But Yancy took umbrage. He prattled on in his article about his critics' lack of Christian "grace." (Yes, I'm gagging!) Judge not, Philip! Have you no grace for your critics? (You lousy quisling. How are the sheep to discern good from evil when the shepherds and teachers won't?)
