REMEMBERING NON-REVISED HISTORY: MARCH 1, 2015


Because much rewriting of history is destroying the truth.

Alexis de Tocqueville
French Political Thinker and Historian

Biography
ALEXIS-CHARLES-HENRI CLÉREL DE TOCQUEVILLE (July 29, 1805 – April 16, 1859) was a French political thinker and historian best known for his Democracy in America (appearing in two volumes: 1835 and 1840) and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856).

Franklin Graham Weighs In On Alabama Marriages
State Supreme Court orders judges to explain
why they should issue ‘gay’ licenses

By Bob Unruh, WND — Christian evangelist Franklin Graham, who heads both the relief and development group Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, has weighed in on the dispute in Alabama on whether courts can order states to acknowledge and support same-sex marriage as they have in dozens of other states.

His Facebook posting takes the dozens of orders from mostly federal judges across the country that have imposed same-sex marriage on populations that voted against the idea and puts them in perspective.

“No earthly court has jurisdiction over the infallible Word of God,” he said.

Graham noted the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that the state of Alabama must recognize same-sex marriages in spite of that state’s overwhelming vote to prohibit them. Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore is defying the order, asking state probate judges not to issue licenses to gay couples....

“Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light,
they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.” ~  Micah 2:1

By Geri Ungurean, NTEB — When I was outlining the main points of this article, at times I felt like I was reading a fictional novel — so EVIL, that it nearly took my breath away that people could do such horrific things to their fellow human beings.

When we hear the name of Bill Gates, we think of a man who became ridiculously rich from his empire, Microsoft. I will tell you this. You will never think of Bill Gates the same after reading this article.

The Eugenics Foundation Of Bill Gates’ Father

In an interview, Gates talked about his family, in particular – his dad. He told the interviewer that his father was a eugenicist, and that for many years his dad was the head of Planned Parenthood. When Bill Gates divulged this information, it was clear that he felt proud of his father for his work. It disgusted me....

After Liberal Atheist Murders Three Muslim Students who were Members of Anti-Semitic, Muslim Brotherhood front Group, President of Turkey Demands Obama Condemn Shooter for Committing Anti-Muslim Hate Crimes…
AND OBAMA LISTENS!

By Ben Barrack, Shoebat.com — Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was not satisfied with what he perceived to be a lack of outrage on the part of Barack Obama over the shooting deaths of three Muslim students in Chapel Hill this week. While in Mexico, Erdogan expressed disgust over Obama’s failure to adequately address the issue as an anti-Muslim hate crime. Indications are that if this was a hate crime, it was committed by an angry liberal atheist against three members of a racist, anti-semitic Muslim Brotherhood front group.

Nonetheless, it didn’t take long for Obama to jump, after Erdogan told him how high he wanted him to....

“Palestinian” Government Wants Role In Probing
“Terrorist” Chapel Hill Murders

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch — Damn the evidence, full speed ahead: Obama has declared the Chapel Hill murders a hate crime, and the Muslim advocacy groups in the U.S. are determined that they be treated as a hate crime, and now the “Palestinians” want in on investigating the “terrorist” act. That’s a great idea. It would be fitting to have an invented nationality that specializes in fabricating atrocities to claim for itself the mantle of victim investigating another case that is being used to claim victim status for an entire group.

The target of all this, of course, is not Craig Hicks. His situation will be the same either way. Whether he is a murderous Islamophobe or a psychotic who killed people over a parking space, he is still a murderer who committed heinous crimes for which he will be imprisoned for life or executed. The real targets of this mass hysteria calling for these murders to be investigated as a hate crime are those who supposedly created the climate of “hate” that led to his murders — that is, those who speak the truth about Islam and the jihad threat. And this is where this campaign is proceeding in the most flagrant disregard of the facts, since Hicks showed no sign on his Facebook page (on which he posted a great deal) of having any connection to “Islamophobes” or “Islamophobia,” and actually on several occasions showed the standard Leftist sympathy for Islamic supremacism.

But the facts don’t matter. The goal of the campaign to label these murders a hate crime is to silence criticism of Islamic jihad terror. This is being sold to Americans in this way: the first false claim is that people are angry with Muslims not because of jihad terror, but because of “Islamophobia” and the “hate campaign” supposedly led by “Islamophobes.” Thus silencing the “Islamophobes” will keep people from being angry with Muslims, and that will prevent more innocent Muslims like Hicks’ victims from getting killed.

This is hogwash, of course. People who are angry with Muslims are angry because of jihad terror, not because of “Islamophobic” propaganda. If the “Islamophobes” (remember: all critics of jihad terror are tarred with this name) are silenced, jihad terror will still remain, but it will be forbidden to discuss and oppose it. And that is the ultimate goal of this campaign: to allow the jihad to advance unopposed and unimpeded....

Obama’s Name Rearranged
Tells Who He REALLY Is. Mind boggling!!!

CleanTV: Family-Friendly Television and Video On Demand

Barack Obama's name rearranged tells who he really is. This 60 second video is so mind boggling you just have to see it. The odds of this being mere coincidence must be in the range of a million to one or maybe a billion to one!

Illegal Aliens Could Get $24,000 In
Taxpayer-Funded ‘Amnesty Bonuses’

By Rip Curl, Ben Shapiro’s Truth Revolt — When President Obama unilaterally cleared the way for millions of illegal aliens to stay in the United States, he also set into motion a way for them to receive a huge amount of cash from the American taxpayer -- without having to do a thing.

Illegal aliens are now able to get Social Security numbers, and once they do, they can claim up to four years' worth of tax credits, which could be as much as to $24,000.

The payments -- dubbed "amnesty bonuses" by Republicans -- are only just now emerging as a prime reason Obama invoked executive authority. With 2016 coming fast, Democrats know Hispanics will be pleased with their windfall of free cash and vote for their party.

But Republicans are lining up to stop the bonuses. "I represent hard working, law-biding Texans," Rep. Sam Johnson, a senior Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, told the Associated Press. "I think these amnesty rewards, and that's what they are, need to be stopped."

Four million to five million illegal aliens are now shielded from deportation under Obama's order. Republicans are threatening to hold up funding for the Department of Homeland Security to overturn the order. The department runs out of cash Feb. 27....

The Real Agenda Behind Obama’s
Lawbreaking Amnesty

The depths of evil this administration
will explore no longer surprises me.

By L. Todd Wood, Western Journalism — Americans have been outraged at our Dear Leader’s proclamation that people who have entered the United States illegally can stay if they want to–and that HE gets to decide who those people are, not Congress. Conservatives and independents have real problems with this blatant, illegal usurpation of power that the Founders intended for the legislative branch of government. We have all watched as those here in the country illegally have demonstrated and even demanded equal rights and privileges as American citizens–as they are no longer afraid of law enforcement in this country.

Concerns about the effects on American workers, crime, and terrorism have been at the forefront of the discussion amongst the Right. However, the White House’s real agenda was made clear by officials testifying in front of Congress this week. The Washington Times reports:
President Obama’s temporary deportation amnesty will make it easier for illegal immigrants to improperly register and vote in elections, state elections officials testified to Congress on Thursday, saying that the driver’s licenses and Social Security numbers they will be granted create a major voting loophole.
Having illegals vote in elections in the United States illegally for Democratic candidates (who will then put into place laws that allow them and their friends and families to become citizens and hop on the American gravy train) is the Holy Grail for the Democratic (or should I say anti-American) Party. To the Left, the end justifies the means. With voter ID laws being passed around the country, an illegal with a drivers license and social security number can still vote!

What a deal!...

U.S. And Argentina Caught COVERING UP Iran’s Involvement In Largest Islamic Terror Attacks In History Of U.S. And Argentina

By Ben Barrack, Shoebat.com — The case against the President and government of Argentina in the coverup of the largest terror attack committed on its soil is incredibly important and is being watch very closely by the world’s power brokers. Why? Because it features a battle between a corrupt, establishment government that will do whatever it takes to protect its leaders and a cadre of far less powerful players who are doggedly pursuing the truth in an effort to bring that government to justice.

Sound familiar?

It should also finally bring attention to perhaps the most explosive ruling by a U.S. Federal District Court Judge to ever go virtually unnoticed. That ruling was that Iran was a key collaborator and guilty party in the 9/11 attacks....

Truth Revolt Originals: “The Revolting Truth with Andrew Klavan”

But for a change of pace, and in a spirit of bi-partisan good will, the Revolting Truth is today going to expose and debunk some of the more popular and more paranoid right wing conspiracy theories about our dear leader, President Barack Obama.

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14

Congress Petitions English King
To Address Grievances
History Is Repeating Itself Again In America Today With Obamacare,
Et Al.


On this day in 1774, the First Continental Congress sends a respectful petition to King George III to inform his majesty that if it had not been for the acts of oppression forced upon the colonies by the British Parliament, the American people would be standing behind British rule.

Despite the anger that the American public felt towards the United Kingdom after the British Parliament established the Coercive Acts—called the Intolerable Acts by the colonists—Congress was still willing to assert its loyalty to the king. In return for this loyalty, Congress asked the king to address and resolve the specific grievances of the colonies. The petition, written by Continental Congressman John Dickinson, laid out what Congress felt was undo oppression of the colonies by the British Parliament. Their grievances mainly had to do with the Coercive Acts, a series of four acts that were established to punish colonists and to restore order in Massachusetts following the Boston Tea Party.

[...]

The king did not respond to the petition to Congress’ satisfaction and eight months later on July 6, 1775, the Second Continental Congress adopted a resolution entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms." Written by John Dickinson and Thomas Jefferson, the resolution laid out the reasons for taking up arms and starting a violent revolution against British rule of the colonies. » Full Article

Lincoln Proclaims Official Thanksgiving Holiday


On this day in 1863, expressing gratitude for a pivotal Union Army victory at Gettysburg, President Abraham Lincoln announces that the nation will celebrate an official Thanksgiving holiday on November 26, 1863.

The speech, which was actually written by Secretary of State William Seward, declared that the fourth Thursday of every November thereafter would be considered an official U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving. This announcement harkened back to when George Washington was in his first term as the first president in 1789 and the young American nation had only a few years earlier emerged from the American Revolution. At that time, George Washington called for an official celebratory "day of public thanksgiving and prayer." While Congress overwhelmingly agreed to Washington's suggestion, the holiday did not yet become an annual event. » Full Article

On this day in 1841, President John Tyler vetoes a second attempt by Congress to re-establish the Bank of the United States. In response, angry supporters of the bank gathered outside the White House and burned an effigy of Tyler. The protestors were comprised primarily of members of Tyler's own political party, the Whigs, who dominated Congress at the time.

The rioters hurled stones at the White House, shot guns into the air and hung an effigy of the president that they then set on fire. The protest is considered one of, if not the most violent demonstration held near the White House.

Ford Is Inaugurated President


On this day in 1974, one day after the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford is sworn in as president, making him the first man to assume the presidency upon his predecessor's resignation. He was also the first non-elected vice president and non-elected president, which made his ascendance to the presidency all the more unique.

Congress had accused Nixon of obstruction of justice during the investigation of the Watergate scandal, which began in 1972. White House tape recordings revealed that Nixon knew about and may have authorized the bugging of the Democratic National Committee offices, located in the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C. Rather than be impeached and removed from office, Nixon chose to resign on August 8, 1974. » Full Article

Mecklenburg Resolutions Reject
The Power Of The British In North Carolina

The American Revolutionary War


On this day in 1775, the committeemen of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, meet and respond to news of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolution, with a series of 20 patriotic resolutions.

This meeting gave rise to a lasting historical myth better known than the event itself. In 1819, the Raleigh Register published a document that it claimed was the Mecklenberg Declaration of Independence from May 20, 1775. Controversy continues regarding the declaration's authenticity, but it is likely that the so-called declaration was a misdated and edited version of the resolves that were actually recorded on May 31.

The so-called Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence printed in 1819 contained five resolutions. The first charges, That whosoever directly or indirectly abetted, or in any way, form, or manner, countenanced the unchartered and dangerous invasion of our rights, as claimed by Great Britain, is an enemy to this County, to America, and to the inherent and inalienable rights of man. » Full Article
