Porn and Public Health

In the meantime, in the US, sustained war is being waged against Pornography in an increasing number of states, including, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia.  However, the premise for the actions being sought against pornography is not so much as the morality involved, but on account on the adverse impact on public health! 

According to resolution SCR4passed in South Dakota, porn leads to risky sexual activity, low-self esteem, and sometimes eating disorders.  In declaring a public health crisis over pornography, lawmakers in Utah noted its adverse effects on “the brain, on families and on the broader community. 

As reported by Reuters, the resolution associates pornography with “a lessening desire in young persons to marry,” and decries advances in technology which are exposing young children to pornography “at an alarming rate,” The Republican Party’s 2016 Party Platform also identified pornography as a “public health crisis” that is “destroying the lives of millions.”  

World Moral state continues downward spiral

A time there was that abortion, prostitution, even divorce were all abhorred and proscribed by law in most human societies.  But things have deteriorated to the extent that outrageous concepts like gay marriage have now virtually become mainstream in many western nations.  But for the intervention of the Lord to further restrain evil, (for the time being) the world was already witnessing increasing clamour to outlaw the concept of gender entirely!  The defeat of the Obama-Hillary team at the last election in the US has at least doused all the transgender madness that gives an individual the right to claim whichever gender they wished – irrespective of their physical and biological features.  One area where that problem still persists is in the sporting arena. There we see athletes who once competed as males now competing and dominating the same events (wrestling, weight-lifting, etc) in the female categories!  For an outcry by frustrated natural-female athletes, See https://askdrbrown.org/library/how-it-fair-when-male-weightlifter-competes-against-women.

In any case, it seems the next moral/family value being targeted by New World Order agents is the concept of fidelity in marriage. That would be an indirect way of rendering the marriage institution totally irrelevant and meaningless. A number of countries have had courts decisions justifying adultery (e.g. South Africa, Japan)  or even scrapping the law of adultery (e.g.South Korea). In the last edition, we reported that the Italian Senate is seriously debating whether to legitimize adultery, and remove the requirement to be faithful to one’s partner from the marriage vow.  Fresh support for the concept is coming up in another strongly catholic nation, the Phillipines, where President Rodrigo Duterte recently made public mockery of those criticizing the self-confessed adultery of his political friend, Pantaleon Alvarez. Mr Alvarez, who is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, had publicly admitted to having sired eight children, six of them with two women other than his wife.

In a live speech on television, President Duterte retorted: "This is a world of hypocrisy. Who among you here does not have a mistress?" Trying to turn it into a joke, he added: "But really there are so many women and you (have) so short a time in this world.”  Continuing, he asked rhetorically, "Who isn't entitled to happiness? Ask these lawmakers, how many of them have two, three or four mistresses? Ask them," The 72 year old Duterte confessed he has to use Viagra to have sex with his own many mistresses. What a way to seek “Happiness!” https://www.yahoo.com/news/philippines-duterte-draws-ire-defending-adultery-071115847.html 

Mainstreaming the Microchip Implant

In Vol 14 no 4, we reported the story of Mogens Tindhof Honore in whose body surgeons surreptitiously implanted a microchip when he had gone for surgery in 1988 at a government hospital in Singapore. The outcome for him was “considerable mental distress”, including hearing strange voices in his head and suicidal thoughts.  The chip was located by x-ray and later removed 20 years later, without anyone owning up to being responsible for the implant.

A similar story was reported in the Sheeple, concerning a 28 year old lady, who walked in into  a medical facility last October claiming she felt there was a tracking device implanted within her body. The doctors initially doubted her sanity, but since there was an unexplained incision mark on her side anyway, she was given some benefits of doubt.  And indeed, lo and behold, there was a microchip implant tucked in in her right flank. Her mental and emotional experiences were similar to those of Mr Honore; but it also included her being trafficked for sex. http://www.thedailysheeple.com/they-thought-she-was-crazy-doctor-extracts-rfid-chip-from-sex-trafficking-victim_032017

          In Chapter Four of Book I of our 2011 trilogy, Behold I  Come Quickly (available for free download on our website), we had an extensive compilation of various ploys to getting the chip implanted in people, mandatorily.  The various categories of people proposed one time or the other include: political elites, soldiers on special missions  (ostensibly to keep in touch), police officers (for instance, to facilitate the use of customized “smart guns”), school children (to fight truancy), newborn babies and their mothers (e.g. the Canadian “infant protection, wander prevention, staff duress, and asset protection” scheme), the elderly, autistic children, prisoners, subjects with retinal damage, patients battling with depressions, HIV-AIDS patients, Alzheimer’s patients, enrolees within special healthcare program (such as Mexico’s SOLUSAT MEDICA, and America’s Obamacare), refugees in African refugee camps,  “people sought by security forces” (including fugitives from justice, terrorists, illegal immigrants, criminals, political opponents, defectors, domestic helps), pilgrims to Saudi Arabia, even dead people during periods of mass disaster (“Veritrace”)!  And if there is still some category of people not included in the list, unwary members of the general public could be surreptitiously implanted as shown in the two stories above!

          However, there also are several ongoing efforts to get people queueing up to voluntarily get the chip into their bodies.  One area where the microchip has been witnessing increasing patronage are companies, where employees can get secure access to facilities and computers  via implanted chips.  The only advantage touted is “convenience” and desire “not to be left behind” of modern developments, but people are indeed queueing up for the chip! Some examples in the news, in recent times, include NewFusion in Belgium,  Paralelni in Czech Republic, and Epicenter in Sweden,  The cost of a biochip is now between $80 - $100.  Companies of course offer the implants free of charge.  At Epicenter in Sweden, there is a special party organized every month to recruit and welcome those who would choose to have the microchip implanted into their bodies. (http://www.sfgate.com/business/technology/article/Cyborgs-at-work-employees-getting-implanted-with-11046009.php).  For now, others have the option of wearing their chips embedded in rings, or still with the old-fashioned plastic cards.

Chaos as Revived Aje Deity shows her stuff at Ile-Ife

Aje oguguluso, ti n fi ekun omo olomo se erin rin..(Aje Oguguluso, the deity that rejoices in the calamity of others) did not wait for long to show what stuff she’s made of, after being revived via a series of colourful traditional rituals at the ancient city of Ile-Ife.

On Monday 20^th February, the paramount ruler of Ile-Ife, the Ooni of Ife, personally led the rituals at the newly built shrine of Aje Oguguluso, the deity supervising commerce and trade in Yorubaland. It was the first of such rituals in living memory, as Aje had before then been reduced to no more than a myth and a by-word in Yorubaland. Part of the rituals demanded a daylight curfew imposed on city residents. Aje supposedly brings in economic prosperity to her devotees – at the expense of other innocent victims.  This is not of course peculiar to Aje.  Virtually all the deities who promise some largesse for their devotees, demand not only worship in return, but also some sacrifices to be sourced from strangers!  This could be contrasted with the situation in Christianity where the LORD Jesus offers His own flesh and blood to provide benefits for His followers.

In any case, sixteen days after the revival of Aje, on Wednesday 8^th March, hell was virtually let loose at Ile-Ife in an inter-community clash that brewed and ignited literally overnight.

The fuel was a combination of economic and sexuality issues, trademarks of Aje. Clearly the events were taken out of the hands of the two communities involved, and none of them in their wildest dream could have imagined the outcomes that followed. While this major conflagration that attracted national attention was still being strenuously doused, another meaningless mini-conflagration flared up at the new Akinola market in the outskirt of Ile-Ife. The spark this time around, was some altercation at a sporting events involving two local secondary schools. Speaking with the press, one of the traditional chiefs in the feuding communities lamented how “a mere school riot” had been allowed to degenerate into a community clash that burnt down a whole market.

In an article 13 years ago, in Vol 7 No 1,  we pointed out the glaring price Nigeria had to pay for the overt involvement of the Sango cult (god of thunderstorm) in the 8th All African Games, (COJA 2003) held at Abuja. Under the direction of Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, a fire-spitting Sango devotee synchronised his art with the lighting of the Games Torch.  Unheard of, in a game of such calibre, the Torch went out and remained unfixable for two days, during which Nigeria could not win a single medal. At the close of the games, Sango was similarly invited with a fire-swallowing performance synchronised with the extinguishing of the Festival Torch.  The price for Sango’s involvement was a catastrophic thunderstorm that pulled down the entire velodrome.  Incredulous Julius Berger engineers could only express their complete shock at a development they said they had never before encountered in decades of operations all over the globe.

In conclusion, we re-affirm that the key reason CA! harps against idols and idolatory is the unnecessary price society pays for servicing these protection racketeers. We appreciate the local culture and sympathise with those who feel compelled to service the deities with their never-ending demands for blood and calamities.  While some with vested interest, such as the Harvard-based “renowned expert” on Yoruba traditional religion,  Professor Jacob Oluponna openly request of the rest of us to brace up and adjust to the realities of human sacrifices and that sort (see pages 64-67 of  the book, Ile-Ife: City of 201 gods), not just the average citizen in the land, but even those cajoled/coerced to performing those sacrifices know that the cost is simply not worth the benefits.  Why for instance, as Prof Oluponna (who incidentally was the son of a long-serving revered Christian minister in Ile-Ife) documented in the same book, on at least 2 different occasions spanning decades, would the devotees be seen to be visibly scared and reluctant to carry out their seemingly trivial chores mid-stream of the Olojo rituals?   Clearly, they have an idea of the price associated with their actions, and they knew it simply was not worth it.

At the present time, more and more deities are being revived, and shockingly, there is an organized move by the traditionalists demanding existing structures on those lands considered ancient shrines to relocate.  Not only are they making such demands on private houses, they were audacious enough to ask one of the biggest and oldest Churches in Ile-Ife to relocate from what is considered a shrine for a prime deity in Ile-Ife, long abandoned!

World’s Hypocritical Standards on Religious Tolerance

While Satanist students from Clemson University, in the US are carrying out public bible burning exercises, which the press applaud as an exercise of personal inalienable rights, (http://www.olivetreeviews.org/news/headlines/item/12361-satanist-students-at-clemson-university-hold-bible-torching-ceremony), the whole world keeps mum when Islamists visit perceived insults on their religion or its symbols with extreme violence.  For instance Gov Ahok (see last edition of CA!) finally lost his governorship, and might in addition be on his way to jail for supposedly speaking against the Koran.  In the latest developments, Pakistan is currently pressing Facebook and Twitter to reveal identities of Pakistanis resident in other countries who dare post anti-Islam materials even from those countries. And there is hardly any outrage!. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/03/pakistan-asks-facebook-and-twitter-to-identify-pakistanis-outside-country-who-post-anti-islam-material

            Pakistan has actually gone further to mobilizing other Muslim countries to press the UN for “legal options” against “blasphemy” on social media.  Ambassadors from 22 Islamic countries were present at the inaugural meeting to strategize on the issue. http://gulftoday.ae/portal/e3410db6-76a6-485a-a4f1-41f546f1175a.aspx.   

            Meanwhile, prosecutors in Pakistan have been offering Christians out-of-court settlements if they would be willing to convert to Islam.  Yet seeking the conversion of a Moslem to Christianity is punishable by death.
