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

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.

Jews Are ‘Getting It From All Sides’ Now As Neo-Nazis Demonstrations Descend On Upscale Greenwich Connecticut Shouting ‘New England Is Ours!’

Published

on

neo-nazis-parade-in-greenwich-connecticut-hate-groups
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Hitler-saluting neo-Nazis descended on ritzy Greenwich, Connecticut and chanted ‘Heil’ while doing a one-armed salute during a sickening display over the weekend.

If you are a Jew living in America in 2024, you are having odd, time-travel bursts in your mind carrying you back to 1933 at the start of the German Reich. Tens of thousands of college students all across the country are calling for an end to the nation of Israel, and shouting ‘Jews Must Go!’ Now in the wealthy enclave of Greenwich, Connecticut, neo-Nazis from the neo-Nazi group NSC-131 are taking to the street saying the same thing. It’s beginning to look like open season on the Jews.

“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” Jeremiah 16:16 (KJB)

As we said on the Podcast today, get ready for another ‘Summer of Love’ from the Far Left elements of America that will include and not limited to burning buildings, destroyed property, rapes, deaths, endless anti-Jew demagoguery, all of which supported by the Liberal media who will call it a ‘mostly peaceful protest’. The Jew in America in 2024 is right now feeling what Jews in Berlin felt in 1933, that’s why the smart ones fled to come here. But where are they supposed to go now?

Neo-Nazis salute ‘Heil’ in ritzy downtown Greenwich, Conn., in sickening display: ‘Hate from all sides’

FROM THE NY POST: Masked goons from the neo-Nazi group NSC-131 traveled from out of town Saturday to demonstrate outside Greenwich Town Hall, where they carried signs reading “New England is ours the rest must go” and “Anti-whites FAFO” — with the acronym standing for “F–k around and find out.” From there they marched in formation through downtown Greenwich, before assembling on a street corner with their vile banners while barking “Seig Heil,” flashing the Nazi salute and leering at passersby.

“Nazis showing up in Greenwich and yelling ‘Heil’ with their arms raised? Not supposed to happen in 2024,” a Greenwich resident and member of the local Jewish community, Jolie Goldring, told The Post.

“As Jews, we are literally getting it from every which way, shape and form.”

The Nazi group — a subsect of NSC-131 called the Peoples Initiative for New England — is dedicated to creating a “white homeland” in the Northeast and seceding from the rest of the US. Despite the menacing vitriol of the neo-Nazis, Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo said their appearance was protected under the First Amendment and that without violence or action, there was no cause to drive them from town.

“They did not break any laws, as abhorrent and disgusting as their message was,” Camillo told The Post, characterizing them as attention-seekers to whom the people of Greenwich must respond with the kind of civility of which such bigots are incapable.

“Had they crossed the line there, were there would have been consequences,” he added, noting that local police were aware the Nazis were coming, and monitored them throughout the rally.

For local Jews, however, such words of assurance have done little to soften the shock of what they saw — especially in light of anti-Israel protests and rising antisemitism in the wake of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

“We feel we are in a vise. Hate from all sides,” Goldring said.

“If it’s happening here, it’s going to happen somewhere else, and it’s going to happen in other places, and soon stupid uneducated people might believe them,” she said through tears. “It’s just really hard to see and hear someone saying ‘Heil Hitler’ down the street from where I live.” READ MORE

Stunning Moment That The Palestinian Battle Flag Was Taken Down As The Stars And Stripes Is Re-Raised Up Over City College of New York Campus

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The American flag was re-raised at City College of New York after anti-Israel protesters removed it and replaced it with a Palestinian flag at the Harlem Heights campus.

It has already gotten more intense than anyone thought it would go, and nowhere near how high things will likely go this summer as pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian rioters do battle with police in New York City and across the country. In a stunning moment yesterday at the City College of New York, police removed the Palestinian flag that was flying, trashed it, and re-raised the American Stars and Stripes in its place. This is the very definition of what takes place on the battlefield in war, and brother, we are at war.

“Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.” Isaiah 62:10 (KJB)

It has been a long time since the war has come to our shores, you really have to go back to the War of 1812 for any meaningful incursion by a hostile foreign enemy. Yes, Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941, but that was not on our mainland. The war I am talking about today is a war that has its roots in the Bible, a war that will reach its zenith in the soon-coming 7-year time of Jacob’s trouble. For the past month or so, we have been watching sprouting seeds of that coming conflict beginning to grow up into plants, taking place on college campuses all across the nation. It’s an election year, that means the coming GOP and DNC gatherings will be the perfect battleground for the pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel and anti-Jewish forces currently at work right now. These protests are not ‘organic student-led protest movements’, they are bought and paid for by George Soros and Friends, and launched for the sole purpose of tearing down the United States here during Barack Obama’s third term.

Cops raise the stars and stripes, toss away Palestinian flag in iconic moment after quelling City College pro-terror protest

FROM THE NY POST: Video from Wednesday morning captured members of the NYPD standing atop the base of the flagpole as they worked to remove the quad color flag, where they ripped it from the rope before tossing it to the ground.

“An incredible scene and proud moment as we have assisted @CityCollegeNY in restoring order on campus, culminating in raising Old Glory once again on their campus flagpole,” NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry wrote on X.

The American flag was subsequently raised back up during an impromptu ceremony along with a speech from Daughtry.

The Palestinian flag had been flying at CCNY since protesters raised it last week when they set up an encampment at the public institute.

Protesters clashes with police at the Harlem CUNY campus Tuesday night, fighting cops who tried to break up the protest and throwing garbage at them.

The pro-Palestinian protesters, many from a group who traveled across Manhattan to protest at different colleges in the city, threw flares at cops and barricaded themselves inside an administrative building. Currently, City College is holding all of its classes remotely until further notice. READ MORE

Kristallnacht Comes To Hamilton Hall At Columbia University With ‘Night Of Broken Glass’ In Support Of Hamas, Openly Calling For Genocide Of The Jews

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Kristallnacht takeover of Hamilton Hall by pro-Palestinian protesters comes after the university announced it was suspending students after previously asking protesters involved in the anti-Israel encampment to leave by 2:00 p.m.

The breaking of the glass windows at Hamilton Hall at Columbia University last night was done in a careful, methodical and highly intentional way. The breakers of the glass very much wanted to bring to your remembrance an event that took place in Nazi Germany in 1938 called Kristallnacht, the ‘night of broken glass’. This seminal event was the kick-off to the 7 years of Jewish-specific concentration camps which would extinguish the lives of 6 million Jews. This is exactly what the rioters at Columbia University wanted you to think of last night. The horror of the gas chambers and the ovens was the end point for what started with Nazi soldiers writing threatening words on the windows of Jewish shopkeepers using a ten cent bar of soap. Think about that.

“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” Jeremiah 16:16 (KJB)

This world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist, and because of that, we are seeing a huge uptick in violent antisemitism not only in America but around the world as well. On college campuses like Columbia, they are calling for the genocide of the Jews to such a degree that Jewish students can no longer attend classes. Columbia University officials are advising “members of the University community” to avoid going to the Morningside campus if possible on Tuesday in light of the protesters occupying Hamilton Hall, according to a campus alert from Columbia Public Safety. This not only antisemitism, this is the end times. Pick a side, Christian, pick a side. Am Yisrael Chai.

Anti-Israel Protesters Seize Administrative Building at Columbia University

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Anti-Israel protesters involved in an encampment at Columbia University took over an administrative building early Tuesday morning. Video footage posted to X showed anti-Israel protesters carrying barricades into Hamilton Hall, an academic building on the university’s campus.

In its Telegram channel, Within Our Lifetime (WOL) Palestine posted an announcement calling for protection of the anti-Israel encampment on the campus.

“Student organizers have called on everyone to come to Columbia TONIGHT and defend the encampment after administration’s threats this morning,” the group wrote in a post on the channel.

Other videos posted to X showed anti-Israel protesters smashing the glass doors of Hamilton Hall, as people can be heard chanting, “Disclose. Divest. We will not stop, we will not rest.” Anti-Israel protesters who occupied Hamilton Hall were photographed hanging pro-Palestinian posters from the windows of the building. Protesters were videotaped hanging a banner from the windows of the building that read, “Intifada,” as anti-Israel protesters can be heard chanting, “Free, free, free, free, Palestine. From the river to the sea…”

The takeover of Hamilton Hall by pro-Palestinian protesters comes after the university announced it was suspending students after previously asking protesters involved in the anti-Israel encampment to leave by 2:00 p.m.

An initial encampment was started on Columbia University’s campus on April 17. The next day several students were suspended, and hundreds of protesters involved in the encampment were arrested. Columbia University had removed the initial encampment, but since then, it has returned. Since the start of the encampment at Columbia University, others have been established at the University of California Los Angeles, Yale University, Harvard University, George Washington University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others. READ MORE
