SIGN OF A CURSE: The Terrorizing Tactic Of Cross Burning Once Made Popular By The Ku Klux Klan Still Persists As A Potent Weapon Of Fear In 2019

Talk to a KKK klansman about cross burning, they will correct you by saying they refer to that practice as a ‘cross lighting’, and they do it to ‘let the light of Christ shine’.

The burning cross used by the Ku Klux Klan is a terror tactic still used today.

The cross, worn around the necks of millions of Christians is not a symbol of Christianity, it is a murder weapon devised by the KKK of two thousand years ago, the Romans.

Talk to a klansman about a cross burning, and they will correct you by saying they refer to that practice as a ‘cross lighting’, and when they do it they are merely ‘letting the light of Christ shine’ before the fellow man. Barry Black, a Klan leader who is appealing his Virginia cross burning conviction has described cross burning as “a very sacred ritual. “We don’t light the cross to desecrate it,” he told the Roanoke Times in 1999. “We light it to show that Christ is still alive.” The burning symbolizes the “burning away of evil.” Umm, yeah, wanna buy some oceanfront property in Kansas?

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:” Galatians 3:13 (KJV)

Here’s another shocker. The cross, worn around the necks of millions of Christians is not a symbol of Christianity, it is a murder weapon devised by the KKK of two thousand years ago, the Romans. First century Christians used a fish as a symbol of their new found faith, not a cross. The bible says that the cross is a curse, and whoever hangs on one is cursed. The cross is where Jesus became a curse for us to save us, and thank God He did that, but guess what? He had to do it because of our dirty, rotten sins, and that’s shameful as Hebrews 12:2 says it is. So why on earth would you put something like that around your neck? And why would you plant one in someone’s front yard and set it on fire?

Only you can answer the first question, but I can take a stab at the second one.

IS THE KKK CHRISTIAN? NO, THE ONLY THING JESUS WANTS TO DO WITH THESE PEOPLE IS SAVE THEM

If I wanted to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with you, I might knock on your door while the sun was shining, and politely invite you to come to church with me. After you had given your response, I would probably hand you a gospel tract and thank you for your time. This invitation would be extended regardless of your race, gender, age or other outward evidences of who you are. One the other hand, if I wanted to terrify you out of your mind, I would show up to your home at night, with a bunch of my friends who were all wearing hoods and robes, put a huge cross on your lawn and set it on fire.

See the difference?

No person who has been washed clean by the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary would ever, in a million years, have anything to do with a disgusting group like the KKK. The Ku Klux Klan, despite their claims, are not a “christian” group, and in fact are refuted by the bible in both testaments. If you’re a KKK member or supporter reading this article right now, you should repent of that junk, and ask God to forgive you for it. And stop calling yourself a Christian because you are nothing of the kind.

Why does the Ku Klux Klan burn crosses? They got the idea from a movie.

FROM TIMELINE: Looking eastward on a chilly Thanksgiving night in 1915, residents of Atlanta were met with an unfamiliar sight. Fifteen miles away the barren summit of Stone Mountain was illuminated by flames rising high into the blackness. The city, still reeling from a summer of anti-Semitic angst over the murder conviction and subsequent lynching of Jewish industrialist Leo Frank, would have been excused for thinking the giant burning cross was a work of Jewish retribution. In fact, it was the same violently anti-immigrant men who had committed the recent act of mob justice, and were now inaugurating the renewal of the Ku Klux Klan. It was the first time a burning cross had been used as a hate symbol in America. But the formerly innocuous act would soon become one of the hallmarks of the Klan—enduringly equated with intimidation, fear, and violence in the South and beyond.

Theatrical poster for Birth of a Nation. The film is often credited with inspiring the resurgence of the KKK in 1915.

On the mountaintop that night were fifteen men led by William Joseph Simmons, a failed medical student and army veteran who had been inspired by the popular new movie, The Birth of a NationD.W. Griffith’s silent film, based on the 1905 novel The Clansman: A Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan, includes scenes depicting Klan members burning crosses before lynching a black man accused of murder. Simmons and company, fresh from committing their own act of extrajudicial justice, adopted the flaming cross symbol. But the origins of the practice were a far cry from the racist rabble rousing espoused by the Klan’s second coming.

Cross burning dates back to Medieval Europe, when Scottish clansmen would set fire to hillsides as a statement of military defiance or call to action for soldiers ahead of battle. Now, the KKK got a lot of inspiration from Scottish fraternities. The rituals, the hoods, the whole “clan” thing. But cross burning wasn’t part of the show until Birth of a Nation came out. (And who says violence in cinema has no effect?)

Since then, cross burning has become nearly synonymous with the KKK—its primary purpose being that of intimidation. (Of course, you don’t need a cross to do that.) But incorporating religious iconography can add a bit of mystery to menace.

Avowedly Protestant, the Klan has always claimed they were “lighting the cross” in celebration, not burning it maliciously. And to an extent the law has agreed. The 2003 Virginia v. Black Supreme Court decision struck down a state statute which classified cross burning as prima facie intimidation. The First Amendment case acknowledged the KKK’s ability to express “messages of shared ideology,” leaving the burden of proof on the state to prove intent to intimidate.

Today, membership in the KKK is down to around 5,000 nationwide. That’s a tiny fraction of its 1920s peak of 4 million, but no less problematic as hate continues to manifests itself in slightly more subtle ways. And if recent controversy over a planned North Carolina cross burning in March, 2017 is any indicator, the practice will likely persist for as long as there is hate to fuel it. READ MORE

Actual KKK Cross Burnings

The Birth of a Nation

History is usually written by the winners. But that wasn’t the case when The Birth of a Nation was released on February 8, 1915. In just over three hours, D.W. Griffith’s controversial epic film about the Civil War and Reconstruction depicted the Ku Klux Klan as valiant saviors of a post-war South ravaged by Northern carpetbaggers and immoral freed blacks. The film was an instant blockbuster. And with innovative cinematography and a Confederate-skewed point of view, The Birth of a Nation also helped rekindle the KKK.

Until the movie’s debut, the Ku Klux Klan founded in 1865 by Confederate veterans in the Democratic Party in Pulaski, Tennessee, was a regional organization in the South that was all but obliterated due to government suppression. But The Birth of a Nation’s racially charged Jim Crow narrative, coupled with America’s heightened anti-immigrant climate, led the Klan to align itself with the movie’s success and use it as a recruiting tool.

Massive Mob Of Anti-Israel Agitators Storm Trump Tower Demanding The Release Of Their Leader Mahmoud Khalil While Shouting ‘Free Palestine!’

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

A massive mob of anti-Israel protesters flooded Trump Tower Thursday to protest the arrest of Columbia rally ringleader Mahmoud Khalil — and were quickly arrested themselves.

If you really want to ‘free Palestine’, why don’t you start demanding that the Palestinian people be freed from the death grip of Hamas who works to ensure a daily diet of bloodshed, death and destruction? But no one wants to do that, why would they? Today at Trump Tower in New York City, anti-Israel agitators flooded the lobby demanding the release of their hero, Mahmoud Khalil, who has spent nearly 2 years  now inciting anti-Jew hate on the campus of Columbia University. Oh, and Jews shouting ‘Free Palestine’? That’s a great illustration of mental illness, cheering their own destruction. That’s the memo.

And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man‘s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” Genesis 16:12 (KJB)

I know I have been critical of some of the things coming out of the Trump White House lately, for good reason, but one thing that Donald Trump does very well is he supports Israel and the Jewish people. Deporting Mahmoud Khalil is right on the money, and I support it 100%. Recently, Marco Rubio said that anyone coming here as a foreign student on a Visa will have that Visa immediately revoked if they engage in overt anti-Semitic activity. I like that very much.

Nearly 100 anti-Israel protesters arrested after invading NYC’s Trump Tower to demand Mahmoud Khalil’s release

FROM THE NY POST: A furious crowd of about 150 demonstrators — from the pro-Palestine group Jewish Voice for Peace — wearing red shirts emblazoned with the message, “Jews Say Stop Arming Israel” as they gathered at about noon in a public, downstairs atrium filled with dining tables outside the Trump Grill restaurant.

NYPD officers descended on the throng around 12:30 p.m. and made 98 arrests of people, who they zip-tied and hauled away and loaded onto buses for a trip to jail

“Those arrests are for trespassing, obstructing government administration, and resisting arrest by virtue of us having to carry some of the people out of the escalator, which you saw,” said NYPD Chief of Department John Chell.

“We gave warnings on our pager system and once we did that warning three times, the NYPD with its professionalism, as you saw, went in and made the arrests, there were no injuries. There were no incidents. There was no damaged property.”

Before the rally was broken up, the group waved signs demanding, “Fight Nazis not students,” “No Muslim Ban Ever,” and “Jews for Palestinian Freedom.”

“We are saying if you come for one of us, you face us all,” a protester said on the group’s live X feed.

The protester could also be heard on video laying out the group’s demands to “free Mahmoud and free Palestine.” READ MORE

In Anticipation Of A Trump Win Today, High-Tech Metal Security Fences Go Up Around Washington DC To Protect Against Looting And Rioting From Democrats

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Washington DC is gearing up for potential chaos following Election Day as authorities assembled barriers around government buildings – including the vice president’s residence – and business owners boarded up storefronts over the weekend.

Remember back in 2016 when Donald Trump, against all odds, win the presidential election against the mainstream media champion Hillary Clinton? Remember all the riots, lootings, burnings and protests that took place at the hands of disgruntled Democrats? Well, the vibe on the street is that Donald Trump is the likely winner in today’s election, and metal security fences and plywood barricades are going up as you read this to protect against the expected Liberal assaults.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

Anything could happen today, only the LORD knows how it’s all going to shake out, and when it’s all over we could easily have Kamala Harris as president as we could Donald Trump, but it feels like Trump will be the winner. The Deep State and the mainstream media have spent billions in positive articles, stories, videos and campaign coverage to make you want to vote for Kamala, just like they did for Hillary 8 years ago. All of that done in an attempt to disguise the deep dislike and distrust that the average America has of Kamala Harris. If you haven’t voted yet, get out there and do it, and when you do, vote for the kind of America you want to live in. If you want a lot of abortion, vote Kamala, if you want a lot less abortion, vote Trump. If you want high prices, vote Kamala, if you remember the former prosperity, vote Trump. If you enjoyed watching the disastrous and deadly pullout from Afghanistan, vote Kamala, if you enjoyed no wars from 2016 to 2020, vote Trump. The differences could not be clearer, so vote for the kind of America you want to live in.

Washington DC gears up for possible election chaos with metal fencing around VP’s home and business boarded up

FROM THE NY POST: The series of security measures come on the eve of the high-stakes presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris — which has exposed deep divisions and heightened tensions in the US.

The Secret Service placed 8-foot-high metal fences around the White House, and Harris’ home at the Naval Observatory though officials warned there are no specific threats of violence at this time, the Washington Post reported. The metal fencing was also around the Treasury Department complex and adjacent parts of Lafayette Square while the Capitol had temporary bike-rack barriers around its perimeter, according to the newspaper.

“The Secret Service is working closely with federal, state and local partners in Washington, DC and Palm Beach County, Florida to ensure heightened levels of Election Day safety and security,” the agency told the Washington Post Sunday.

“These enhancements are not in response to any specific issue but are part of wide ranging public safety preparations for Tuesday’s election.”

Private business and property owners have also worked to board up street-level windows and entrances in the event violence erupts in DC. Eric J. Jones, of the Apartment and Office Building Association of Metropolitan Washington, told the publication that retailers are concerned about looting and damage.

“We’re not expecting full-fledged pandemonium like we saw after Jan. 6, 2021, or four years ago,” he said.

“I’m getting constant emails and text messages because people are really engaged. … People would rather be overprepared and have nothing happen, as opposed to the alternative,” said Jones, who is the association’s vice president of government affairs.

Admiral Security Services is expected to have 2,000 private security guards work 12-hour shifts at properties around the city, its executive vice president Leon Beresford told the Washington Post.

The growing apprehension comes four years after the Jan. 6 riot on the Capitol and May 2020 protests over George Floyd’s murder that spiraled into violence. Mayhem also erupted before and after Trump’s 2017 inauguration where protesters smashed downtown windows and clashed with police. Government buildings were also guarded with security fencing leading up to the 2020 presidential election.

In addition to the newly installed fencing, DC police announced that starting Monday at 7 p.m. there will be street closures and parking restrictions in anticipation of Harris’ election night party on Howard University’s campus. All of the city’s available 3,300 police officers are reportedly expected to work 12-hour shifts through the election. READ MORE

Democrat Activists Write ‘Hamas Is Coming’ On The Christopher Columbus Memorial Fountain at Union Station, Tear Down & Burn American Flags

Published

on

hamas-is-coming-american-domestic-terror-groups-2024-washington-dc
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Anti-Israel activists vandalized Washington DC landmarks in protest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address before Congress Wednesday, defacing them with pro-Hamas slogans and pulling down the Stars and Stripes and replacing them with Palestinian flags.

Americans in 2024 just need to get comfortable with the idea that civil war is about to break about in cities all across the United States. It is borne of the Left from a hatred that, only a daily basis, is nurtured and stoked in order to reach the soon-coming flash point. Yesterday in our nation’s capitol, we watched in real-time horror on social media as thousands of anti-America and anti-Israel domestic terrorists from the radical Left wreaked havoc attacked police and anyone deemed to be ‘pro-Zionist’. To prove their point, they burned American flags.

“And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;” 2 Peter 2:13 (KJB)

In case you haven’t noticed, America now has our very own version of the Nazi brownshirts, and they are made up of the various domestic hate groups like ANTIFA, the Occupy Movement and Black Lives Matter burn down buildings, rape women, pillage businesses and shoot people dead in the street. This new faction, we’ll call them the pro-Palestinian Movement, is much worse than anything that took place on January 6th. These people have the full support of the Biden administration, and should Kamala Harris be successful in her coup, these gangs will control the streets.

‘Hamas is coming’: Protesters pull down US flag, vandalize DC landmarks

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: “Hamas is coming,” was scrawled in red across the face of the Christopher Columbus Memorial Fountain at Union Station, according to photographs published by the protest group Palestinian Assembly for Liberation-Awda. The graffiti was accented with the inverted red triangle favored in Hamas videos to denote the targeting of enemies. The foundation was covered in smaller triangles and slogans, such as “free Gaza” and “all Zionists are bastards.”

The Liberty Bell replica Freedom Bell, American Legion, which stands across from the fountain, was completely covered in graffiti and red inverted triangles, according to Congressman Ryan Zinke. In a video posted to X, Zinke highlighted graffiti on the bell that said “Abolish the USA.”

The American flags that flew at Union Station were pulled down from their poles and replaced with Palestinian flags, according to a video posted on Instagram by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM). Timcast News documented that the US flags were set on fire.

Congressman Dan Crenshaw said on X that later that night he and other members of the house with the aid of the Capitol Police raised new American Flags in their stead. As the Palestinian flags were raised, PYM footage shows that an effigy of Netanyahu was set on fire. Next to the burning effigy, a flag emblazoned with the face of Hamas Izz ad-Din Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida was waved, and nearby a sign proclaimed “Bibi [Netanyahu] must hang.”

Some at the demonstration wore terrorist paraphernalia. One woman wore a Hamas headband over a keffiyeh. Fox News photographed a woman with a Hamas flag wearing a “Umm Obeida” headband in reference to the terrorist spokesman. On the shoulder of her camouflage jacket was the logo of the Al-Qassam brigade, and a pin with Abu Obeida’s face in its lapel. Timcast News documented a protester marching through Washington with a Hezbollah flag.

“Netanyahu you will pay, resistance is the only way,” chanted some demonstrators. “There is only one solution, intifada revolution.”

The protesters had surrounded and attempted to prevent entry of Netanyahu’s motorcade to the Capitol. READ MORE
