“And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord. Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination”.
There’s a reason those two verses from Leviticus 18:21-22 are literally right next to each other in the BIble. Wherever you would find the demonic worship of Molech (to whom so many in Biblical times sacrificed their babies, painfully) you would also find the demonic worship of Ashtoreth/Ishtar/Asherah (who essentially was a goddess of sex). Always. And God’s judgment would eventually follow. Amazing how today’s liberals, so many of whom hate the Bible, are dedicating themselves to recreating it. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”: ~ Hosea 4:6
I’m not sure there is any equivalence to any “episode” in American history for the PP baby murdering, butchering, selling machine. It is pure evil. And it is the Left. And it is the DemoMarxist party and their cultists. As the saying goes, “sooner or later, people always show their true selves.” America, behold the Progressive-Leftist-Alinskyite-DemonicRats.
Speaking of wickedness, this is what Melissa Farrell (Director of Research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast) had to say in an exchange in the latest video, admitting that she and her co-worker would find it enjoyable if a tissue buyer wanted them to dissect dead fetuses for parts: “It would be exciting too if you needed it dissected, because LaShonda and I are the most Curious George of the group,” Farrell is quoted as saying. “I know it’s sickening on some level, but it’s fun.” (Hat tip: Pearcey Report).
Baby body-parts saleswoman…
Abortion is nothing more than the practice of harvesting baby organs now, nothing whatsoever about “women’s health”, which is but a pretext to getting the bodies needed for the harvesting. Decadent? Yes, because it’s Evil – and oh yeah, “fun”. It seems that not only have we, as a nation, become critically insane; we’ve become criminally insane as well. And while today’s evil DemonicRats deserve every thrashing, today’s Republicans, by and large, should also be under the lash for abandoning any semblance of decency and “doing the right thing” and consequences be damned.
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against it. We as a people are driven to decadence by the abandonment of faith in God through Jesus Christ, and the devil is only too happy to allow us to lust after and chase those evils. It’s decadence alright, but the source is evil! Universities, mass media, and leftist ideology have driven us to this decadence under the guise of fairness, equality, and all their latest feel good buzz words. Virtually any major problem we face domestically, is a result of the systematic creep of leftist, Godless ideology. The same serpent who was so convincing back in the garden is ever present today, and we see how beguiling he has been to so many. Call it decadence if you like, but I’m not PC. I call it evil! We have only ourselves to blame and repentance is the only cure.
And now on to editor and publisher Thomas Lifson’s piece from today’s American Thinker…
The undercover videos created by the Center for Medical Progress get worse and worse for the organization. Obviously, thought and care have gone into the sequencing of the release of the dozen or so videos they reportedly have made. The latest installment, number five, takes gruesomeness and potential criminality to new levels. As to the latter, as Fox News reports:
A Planned Parenthood executive admits in an undercover video that her doctors alter abortion procedures and she manipulates prices to accommodate specific fetal tissue harvesting requests — including delivering fully intact fetuses — though doing so may violate federal law.
In the nearly 16-minute, edited video, the fifth released by Center for Medical Progress, a woman identified as Melissa Farrell, director of research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, discusses pricing for specimens — ranging from intact fetuses to tissue and organs — for outside tissue procurement companies.
“Yeah, and so if we alter our process, and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers, then we can make it part of the budget, that any dissections are this, and splitting the specimens into different shipments is this,” Farrell said. “I mean it’s all just a matter of line items.”
Altering abortion procedures to procure fetal tissue, delivering intact fetuses and selling fetal tissue for profit are all against federal law.
Oops! Admitting criminal violations on undercover video does present a bit of a PR problem. And boy, does PP have a PR problem. Fortunately, for them, they’ve called in one of the best (and best-connected) PR firms in the world to tamp down the crisis. In one of the best reads of the day, at onepeterfive.com, Steve Skojec (hat tip: Clarice Feldman) who formerly worked in a high powered PR firm, discusses the techniques brought to bear to shape public perceptions of scandals involving powerful institutions and people.
Not long after Planned Parenthood hired SKDKnickerbocker to help them weather the storm, journalists and media outlets started receiving memos telling them that they shouldn’t cover the story at all.
Why would they listen? Isn’t it the job of the press to expose corruption like this?
Not really. Not anymore. The majority of individuals who work in the news media self-identify as liberal. This is a given. They have become, to the country’s detriment, the unofficial propaganda arm of leftist politics. But we also need to understand the incestuous nature of PR, the intermixing of politics and journalism, and the long-standing relationships that drive the industry. I mentioned that the people I worked with had reached a very elite status in the world. That wasn’t to elevate myself by association. One of the chief attributes that makes a person good at PR (beyond a nose for what kind of story will play well with the general public) is their contact list. If you don’t have strong media relationships, you don’t make it far in this business. I personally saw fellow employees call up primetime anchors and journalists that everyone in America would know by name. They had their personal cell phone numbers. They handed them stories and told them what they thought the highlights were. The people on the other end of the line listened, and often as not, respected and responded to what they were being told. Frequently, we got the coverage we asked for.
The Black-Robed Executioners of iniquity..
Look at the staff roster at SKDKnickerbocker. Who do you think Olivia Alair Dalton, former spokeswoman for Michelle Obama, knows? What about Josh Isay, who worked closely with Chuck Schumer, Michael Bloomberg, and President Barack Obama? How about Bill Knapp, who knows the Clintons and the Obamas, and was also a producer at NBC News? And then there’s Anita Dunn, the former Communications Director for the Obama White House. How about Nell Callahan, whose bio was scrubbed of her work on behalf of Planned Parenthood “during the 2012 election cycle”? There’s quite a group over at SKDKnickerbocker, and each one of them brings invaluable experience and relationships to the table on behalf of their clients. Most are no doubt extremely talented professionals. Many of them have the journalists who serve Americans their news on speed dial.
But for every apparently faked hack on the Planned Parenthood website to garner sympathy and donations, for every deflection that this is about “life-saving medical research,” for every failed attempt to block Planned Parenthood’s half-billion dollars of federal funding in Congress, there will be the unforgettable exclamation, when sorting through a pile of baby parts, that it’s “another boy!” For every attempt to tell us that they do not traffic in baby parts, there will be the impossible to erase mental image of that hand.
It seems as though the major theme of the current presidential election cycle is the power of the elites to determine political outcomes, regardless of underlying facts, popular opinion, and objective threats, crimes, and other matters of proper public concern. For instance, as Sean Davis of The Federalist writes:
Planned Parenthood, the nation’s top abortion provider, swears up and down that notwithstanding the numerous admissions made on tape by its top officials, the organization doesn’t buy or sell organs and body parts harvested from aborted babies. Then, in order to defend its reputation, Planned Parenthood points to other medical procedures performed by the group that don’t result in body counts. One of its top rhetorical gimmicks is to reference all the mammograms that women can receive by visiting Planned Parenthood:
Planned Parenthood helps women nationwide get access to mammograms, as part of the range of health care Planned Parenthood health centers provide to nearly three million people a year.
There’s only one problem: Planned Parenthood does not manage a single licensed mammography facility in the U.S. Not one. Of the 8,735 licensed mammography facilities in America, Planned Parenthood operates exactly zero.
How do we know this? Because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration keeps a list of every licensed facility in the country. It updates this list weekly. And the most recent list of the more than 8,700 licensed mammogram facilities in the U.S. shows that not one is operated by Planned Parenthood.
