Throughout its history, despite being a so-called
religion founded on jesus christ’s teaching to love all humanity, christianity has been responsible for millions of deaths and the threat
of god-approved extinction of non-believers, the wrong kind of christians, and whichever group cult leaders targeted. There is
biblical precedence for killing in dog’s name permeating the so-called
“old testament,” but it is not featured in the “christian” new testament
except during the “end times” when jesus christ kills off the
segment of humanity that refuses to be his disciples. In the criminal
justice system, dog would be guilty of criminal solicitation to commit
murder for commanding, encouraging or requesting other people to engage
in specific conduct (homicide) which would establish his complicity in
its commission or attempted commission. According to the law, it is
immaterial that the actor fails to communicate with the person he
solicits to commit a crime if his conduct was designed to effect such a
communication.
In 21st Century America, there is a tiny segment
of the population that believes they are biblical dog’s surrogates, and
since he is incapable of verbally commanding his followers to commit
murder on his behalf, extremist evangelicals are doing his bidding and
are guilty of criminal solicitation. And, they are soliciting for murder
with veritable impunity because this is America and no human being,
particularly a human associated with the government, dare investigate
so-called pro-life advocates calling for the murders of Planned
Parenthood personnel.
A little over a month ago after an anti-choice cabal released heavily-edited and contrived videos of a Planned
Parenthood doctor discussing donations of fetal tissue for medical
research after pregnancy terminations, a rash of “criminal
solicitations” for murder began appearing all over the Internet. One
specifically “ominous warning on Fox Nation” said, “I’ll pay ten large to whomever kills Dr. Deborah Nucatola. Anyone. Go for it.” The intended victim is the senior director of Planned Parenthood who was secretly filmed in one of the edited videos.
Another threat was lodged at the CEO, Cate Dyer, of
the biomedicine company doing the medical research using fetal tissue.
The threat said, “The CEO of StemExpress should be hung by the neck
using piano wire and propped up on the lawn in front of the building
with a note attached.” The solicitation of murder was accompanied with Dyer’s home address and a handsome offer of “ten grand to whomever beats me to her house.” The violent warning “that Dyer must die”
ended the solicitation to kill an American citizen because of where she
works. A legal complaint was filed in California district court by the
National Abortion Federation (NAF), but since the criminal solicitation
originated with rabid evangelicals, nothing can possibly happen because
freedom of religion.
According to abortion rights advocates, the calls for murder represent a “
very alarming spike in death threats and violent acts”
against abortion providers, women’s health clinics, and any medical
research company that criminal 'christians' believe are using fetal
tissue. These are not just idle threats, or anti-choice fanatics’ free
exercise of religion. Since the threats began rising, two Planned
Parenthood clinics have
reported arsons, anti-choice maniacs are showing up in large numbers outside of
doctors’ homes,
and blowhards on wingnut websites and online forums are making
blatant calls for bombings of women’s health clinics across the nation
for having the audacity to engage in a completely legal medical
practice.
The death threats have risen to such a level that
the president of NAF, Vicki Saporta, has asked the U.S. Department of
Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations to intervene. Saporta
said, “In my 20 years at NAF, I have never seen such a volume,
intensity and escalation of hate speech, threats and criminal activity,
and we would like to prevent a serious violent act from occurring. We
have enlisted law enforcement’s help.” As a person who receives
regular threats of violence from fanatics in the religio-wingnut delusion, this author can attest that there is nothing law enforcement
can or will do until the extremists follow through on their threats.
It is important to note that according to the law,
there is never a valid reason for soliciting murder, but it is
particularly true in the case of Planned Parenthood that has done
nothing whatsoever illegal. This is especially true since the U.S.
Congress passed a
1993 law that “
explicitly allows”
for the donation of fetal tissue for medical research after an elective
pregnancy termination. In fact, there have been no less than five
separate state investigations into Planned Parenthood’s practice of
donating fetal tissue and they have turned up no evidence of wrongdoing
whatsoever. But these are rabid evangelical anti-choicers and they contend
that regardless the laws, Planned Parenthood is engaged in an illegal
activity and they intend on inflicting the ultimate penalty because dog
and jesus. Once again, since evangelicals clutch a bible to their bosom
but never open or read a word of it, according to the dog of their bible, a fetus is not a “
living being” until it exits the womb and breathes air on its own.
If history is any indication, law enforcement had
better take the increase in death threats against abortion providers
very seriously. There have been two abortion providers murdered at the
behest of evangelical criminal solicitations including Dr. George Tiller
who was shot in the head while attending his 'christian' cult, and Dr.
Barnett Slepian who was shot and killed in his own home after returning
from worshiping in his synagogue. Both men were murdered for performing
legal medical procedures that evangelical anti-choice agitators claim are
illegal and in answer to the persistent solicitations of murder that
have reached a fevered pitch over the past month.
Although Republicans are not openly soliciting
criminal activity against Planned Parenthood or abortion providers, they
are as guilty as the fanatics calling for murder in dog’s name.
Republicans need to be held accountable for the rash of threats, arson,
and anti-choice maniacs harassing doctors at their homes. Republicans are
well aware that abortion is legal, tissue donation is legal, and that
the edited videos created and released by anti-choice agitators are phony.
Still, they have incited the religious base to violent threats by
claiming Planned Parenthood is committing criminal activity by donating
fetal tissue for medical research with the woman’s consent and according
to a law they passed in 1998.
Republicans
have had a huge measure of electoral theft with their secret weapon
the fetus, and they could not care less if their theocratic base
solicits criminal activity and convinces religious maniacs to commit
murder and firebomb Planned Parenthood and women’s healthcare clinics
across America. That it is a religious movement calling for death and
destruction in the name of dog is exactly what evangelicals and
Republicans claim makes ISIL worthy of America’s military wrath.
However, it is not only acceptable, but necessary when evangelical anti-choice agitators engage in the same practice and it is why Republicans
and the religio-wingnuts are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, America’s 'christian' version of ISIL.
It
was at a convention for such writers in Boston in 1921 that Lovecraft
met Sonia Haft Greene, an energetic and attractive Eastern European
Jewish widow from New York City, seven years his senior. Lovecraft,
still reeling from the death of his mother six weeks prior, was not
exactly a catch. He had no income besides a dwindling family
inheritance and occasional checks from editorial temp work. He had the
frame of a scarecrow, a protruding lower jaw, and a squeaky voice. He
was also averse to sex, which he blamed on having read a scientific
book as a child. “The whole matter was reduced to prosaic mechanism,”
he wrote later, “a mechanism which I rather despised.” Not to mention,
he was a virulent racial purist, outwardly disgusted by immigrants,
tending to become “livid with anger” when he encountered foreign
workers.
