******* by Joseph Farah
******* David Limbaugh has written an amazing book about Christian persecution – not in Sudan, not in China, but right here in the United States.
******* It begins with the story of a judge threatening students in a public high school with arrest and incarceration for six months if they dare mention the name of Jesus.
******* And the horror stories of anti-Christian bias, censorship and official intimidation continue throughout in his best-selling "Persecution."
******* I had the pleasure of interviewing the WorldNetDaily columnist and author on my radio program yesterday. He explained how Bible-believing Christians in America are very close to being guilty of new "hate crimes" merely for practicing their faith.
******* This is how it started once before – in Rome.
******* Do you know what the justification for the systematic murder of Christians was in ancient Rome under Nero?
******* The first-century Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus provides some insight in his classic work, "Annals."
******* Here's a translated excerpt from "Annals" 15:44, describing Emperor Nero's reaction to the burning of Rome:
******* But all human efforts, all the lavish gifts of the emperor, and the propitiations of the gods, did not banish the sinister belief that the conflagration was the result of an order. Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace.
******* Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilate, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their center and become popular.
******* Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind.
******* Mockery of every sort was added to their deaths. Covered with the skins of beasts, they were torn by dogs and perished, or were nailed to crosses, or were doomed to the flames and burnt, to serve as a nightly illumination, when daylight had expired.
******* Notice that Christians were charged with "hatred of mankind." Isn't that interesting? They were executed for a "hate crime." This is where it all began.
******* We might not be illuminating our streets at night yet with the burning flesh of crucified Christians as they did in Nero's time, but our political culture is most definitely slouching toward Rome. We may not be feeding Christians to wild animals in the coliseum, but the kind of officially sanctioned bigotry that leads to holocaust is growing.
******* As Limbaugh documents in "Persecution," Christians are the target of bias and bigotry in our culture today on a scale unprecedented since the fall of Rome.
******* This is the real "hate crime" – if there is such a thing.
******* If this isn't enough to wake Christians in America from their complacency and misguided trust in government, I give up. It's time, brothers and sisters, to put your faith in God, not in Caesar, not in Nero – not in government.

******* item 2 SCOTT BROCKIE PERSECUTED AGAIN He needs your help! Please help! (email from Scott to Robert Jason)

******* Note: Scott Brockie, a Canadian, being true to his Christian convictions, refused to print immoral literature for homosexual activists. They took him to court and he was told to pay $40 000.
******* Hi Robert,
******* I need to ask for your help. The Court of Appeal recently handed down their decision regarding the awarding of costs from our time in the Divisional Court, and it's not good news. We were initially awarded $25,000 in costs from the Divisional Court, but the Human Rights Commission and the Archives appealed, and the Court of Appeal has reversed that earlier decision and now I am on the hook for $40,000.
******* I am asking if you could email this information and the particulars of my Defense Fund to your contacts, in the hope that some folks can help me. I have some hesitation in asking for more financial help because people have been so generous throughout this process already, but I simply can't cover this myself. The only good news would be that, barring the other side appealing for even more money, this would finally bring the case to a close.
******* I will also be asking Tim Bloedow, EFC, Family Action Coalition, the Catholic Civil Rights League, and any others I can think of to spread the word through their contacts. Would you be able to pass along this request to the REAL Women folks to email their constituents as well? Also, I would like to mention to these groups that I would be delighted to speak at any of their conferences, banquets, church services, etc...I so appreciate speaking at these events as a way to meet and thank so many of the people who have prayed for us and supported us through these past eight years.
******* Here's the Defense Fund information...contributions can be made at any Royal Bank branch, or mailed to the bank account below...I would also like to mention that I have no way of receiving the names of people who have contributed, so, while I am unable to thank them personally, please know that I am tremendously grateful.
******* Scott Brockie Defense Fund, Account #507-721-9, The Royal Bank Branch #3132, 33 City Centre Drive, Mississauga, ON L5B 2N5
******* Best regards, Scott

******* item 3 CHRISTIAN MEETING ATTACKED BY GAY MILITIA?CALGARY POLICE TO LAY CHARGES?HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION COMPLAINT TO BE FILED

******* (Calgary) The Concerned Christian Coalition Inc., (CCC) held it's national convention in Calgary, Alberta on Saturday, April 17, 2004. At the national convention dinner the Gay Militia stormed the meeting with sticks, angry chants and verbally assaulted the delegates at hand. The dinner was being held in support of Rev. Stephen Boissoin who is currently being dragged before the Alberta Human Rights Commission for defending the Biblical view of homosexuality. Half of all profits were donated to Rev. Stephen Boissoin and fundraising will continue in order to help offset his legal costs. Further, information on Rev. Stephen Boissoin can be found at www.concernedchristians.ca ?******* "I was dumbfounded at the fact that the Gay Militia would storm into a private meeting where we were praying and discussing Bill C-250 a bill that will affect our freedom as Christians to discuss certain beliefs. Just as our guest speaker Rev. Tristan Emmanuel was discussing how Bill C-250 is about silencing our freedom of speech and freedom of assembly the Gay Militia stormed the meeting and proved the point," stated Jim Blake, CCC Business Chair.?******* The CCC feels that all groups have a right to freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the freedom to assemble and protect their deeply held personal and moral beliefs. "We are very concerned about the Christophobia and the growing hatred towards Christians in Canada. We are also very concerned that the media continually ignores the blatantly bigoted actions of the militant minority in this country. Can you imagine if our organization stormed a Homosexual gathering? It would be on the front page of every paper in the country and the headlines would not be flattering towards us," continued Blake.?******* The Calgary City Police arrived at the event just moments after the Gay Militia was cleared out by hotel security. The Calgary Police Service seized all the videotapes but one and some video footage has been placed on the internet at http://www.justicenetworkcanada.com/justicenetworkcanada.com.rmvb and on the CCC website of www.concernedchristians.ca The Calgary Police Service has assured the CCC that charges will be laid against members of the Gay Militia when they are found. The CCC has cited 3 sections of the Criminal Code that have been breached by the Gay Militia. Those sections are as follows:?### 175-1 A i Causing A Disturbance - every person who not being in a dwelling house causes a disturbance in or near a public place by fighting, screaming, shouting, swearing, singing or using insulting or obscene language.?### 176 2 Disturbing a Religious Worship - everyone who willfully disturbs or interrupts and assemblage of persons met for religious worship or for a moral, social or benevolent purpose is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.?### 265 1 B Assault - A person commits an assault when he attempts or threatens by an act or a gesture to apply force to another person if he has or causes that other person to believe on reasonable grounds that he has present ability to affect his purpose.?******* "We will ensure arrests are made. We will ensure a complaint against all that showed is filed with the Alberta Human Rights Commission. We will ensure to increase our efforts against Christophobia and demand that our rights as Canadians are protected. Enough is enough. It is time that the courts, Human Rights Tribunals and the media start defending our freedoms and not just those of the radical left," concluded Blake. ?******* For More Information Contact:
