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 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.
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 Nation. D.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
Actual KKK Cross Burnings
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.

Radical Pro-Transgender And Gun Control Activists Storm The Tennessee State Capitol, Will We Now See An ‘M30 Select Committee’ To Punish The Guilty?
Gun control activists were seen storming Tennessee’s State Capitol Thursday amid rising fears of a left-wing uprising at a rumored protest in Washington, DC.
Things are getting nuttier, crazier and definitely scarier with each passing day as the radical Leftist elements which control America – the White House and the media – inch closer and closer to all out violent confrontation on every street corner. I say this with the full knowledge in my mind that it’s barely been 72 hours since a transgender with a gun went and shot 6 Christians.
“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?” James 4:1 (KJB)
Tomorrow on the Prophecy News Podcast, we will rip open the festering sore that is the transgender movement, and show you from a King James Bible how all this stuff you are watching right now puts you squarely in the middle of the beginning of sorrows and the Days Of Lot. Funny thing, for the past 2 days, radical leftists, we are calling them ‘transurrectionists’, and the anti-gun crowd have been doing exactly what the January 6th people did, storm their Capitol, and yet not a word from Washington about it. Hmm, why do you think the Democrats are silent?
Gun control activists storm Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville after ‘Trans Shaman’ joined occupation of Kentucky legislature – as fears of a left-wing uprising loom ahead of Trans Day of Vengeance
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Footage of the insurrection shows progressive protesters battling with cops as they attempted to gain access to the legislature in Nashville. Hundreds of people were seen inside the lobby and yelling from the gallery at concerned lawmakers.
The protest against guns comes after transgender shooter Audrey Hale on Monday gunned down six people, including three nine-year-old kids, at a Christian school in Nashville.
In a separate demonstration, trans activists yesterday invaded Kentucky’s State Capitol in Frankfort to protest a Republican-backed bill to ban transgender procedures for children. Among the mob was a self-described ‘genderqueer clown nun’, who immediately drew comparisons to the QAnon Shaman of the January 6 riot.

The left-wing demonstrations come amid fears of a Trans Day of Vengeance which has been threatened for Washington DC on Saturday. Twitter bosses this week rushed to remove thousands of posts advertising the protest. While most condemned the attack – which left three nine-year-olds and as many school staffers dead – several unrelated fringe, extremist groups have surfaced claiming the shooting was a consequence of ongoing oppression of trans people in Southern, more conservative states.
Events seem to be heating up at the Tennessee Capitol, yet nary a peep from Washington. I wonder why that is?🤔Oh, that’s right. It’s only considered a ‘riot’ if Conservatives do it. #M30 pic.twitter.com/FEBIrdNDeC

One such group, the Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN), seemingly took notice of this chaos, and used the opportunity to rebrand a planned three-day procession previously called the Trans Day of Visibility as ‘a day of vengeance.’
Posters advertising the procession have been published and shared rapidly on platform such as Twitter, which confirmed Wednesday it had already removed more than 5,000 posts promoting the event.
According to several since-scrubbed advertisements, the event is still to be held in Washington, DC, as scheduled – from Friday until Sunday – though revelers wrote they would ‘march’ on the country’s most important court building at 11am Saturday. READ MORE

Antisemitic Flyers Alleging That ‘COVID Is A Jewish Conspiracy’ By A Group Called Goyim Defense League Turning Up In States Across The Country
Jewish Americans across the country woke up to antisemitic letters and flyers delivered to their homes this week, a continuation of an anti-Jewish campaign by white supremacist group Goyim Defense League.
The God who wrote the Bible, when He walked this earth the first time, walked it as a Jewish man, and His name was Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus the Christ. He has chosen people, out of all the nations of the earth, to call His own, the Jews are that people. If you as a Christian want God’s blessing, then you need to do two things. One, give them the gospel, they won’t likely want it, but give it to them anyway. Two, when you see them attacked and persecuted, stand up for them. If you’ll do those two things, you will be far ahead of about 90% of every professing Christian on the face of the earth here in the closing moments of the Church Age.
“For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.” Deuteronomy 14:2 (KJB)
A lot of people look at the financial success that God has granted His people, the Jews, and they are consumed with jealousy and envy. As such, they concoct hateful nonsense like ‘The Protocols Of the Learned Elders Of Zion’, the Goyim Defense League, and garbage replacement theology from supposed “christians” like Texe Marrs and Chuck Baldwin. Let me assure you from the Bible that the Church does not replace Israel, and Christians do not replace Jews. In the meantime, pray for the Jewish people, that many more would be saved, and pray for Israel as they prepare to go through the time of Jacob’s trouble. When you get home to Heaven, you will be so very glad you took my advice.
Jews across United States harassed with wave of antisemitic letters to homes from Goyim Defense League
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Letters in plastic bags were placed on several driveways of residents in Jacksonville, Florida over the weekend, First Coast News reported on Monday.
“We’re right across the street from a school,” Amber Wilson told First Coast News. “Lots of kids live here. We don’t want this kind of stuff here. It feels really violating knowing that was even in this neighborhood.”
“Every single aspect of gun control is Jewish,” read some flyers distributed in plastic bags throughout Long Island on the weekend, according to media reports.
“Extremely disturbed to learn of another incident of antisemitic flyer distribution on Long Island, this time in Freeport,” wrote the Anti Defamation League (ADL) New York and New Jersey chapter. “We continue to speak out against this hate and antisemitism, which has no place in our community.”
Afaf Nasher, Executive Director of the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned the flyers, saying: “This increased presence of Nazi-inspired, racial supremacist propaganda at our doorsteps is a chilling reminder that we are facing brazen extremists’ intent of fueling hate in our neighborhoods. CAIR-NY condemns these anti-Jewish flyers and re-affirms our solidarity to our Jewish brothers and sisters.”

Pictures of the Long Island flyers were branded with the logo of the Goyim Defense League, a white nationalist organization that appears to be responsible for the bulk of the campaign. As with the materials spread this week, they are often packed in plastic bags and placed in front of homes.
In early August, GDL posted flyers with similar content to those on Long Island in Nashville Tenessee, according to images shared by the NGO Stop Antisemitism. In addition to the same phrase as those on the Freeport flyers, they claimed that “Every single aspect of mass immigration is Jewish.” The flyers also contained a list of Jewish NGOs accused of promoting mass migration, and pictures of several American politicians with Stars of David imposed on their foreheads.
“Every single aspect of the media is Jewish,” read another GDL pamphlet left in front of homes in Redding, California on July 24, AnewsCafe reported. “6 Jewish corporations own 96% of the media.”
Neo-Nazis demonstrating outside Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit on the same day in Tampa, Florida distributed GDL pamphlets. Hundreds of plastic bags filled with pebbles and letters claiming that “Every single aspect of the COVID agenda is Jewish” were distributed to homes in Miami, Florida on January 23. The same flyers were found in front of a Melbourne synagogue a week prior.
According to Stop Antisemitism, the GDL has been distributing anti-Jewish conspiracy materials for four years. The GDL, whose name is a play-off of the name of the Jewish Defense League and ADL, maintains a YouTube “clone” site called “Goyim TV.” Jon Minadeo Jr. of Petaluma has been identified by Stop Antisemitism as a leader of the group.

In America, Public School Teachers Are Now Training Their Students To Follow ANTIFA And To Pledge Allegiance To The LGBTQ+P For Pedophile Pride Flag
California schoolteacher Kristin Pitzen posted video of herself instructing students to say the pledge of allegiance to a Progress Pride flag.
California schoolteacher Kristin Pitzen posted video to social media of herself instructing students to say the pledge of allegiance to a Progress Pride flag.
Joe Biden’s America is a sick, scary place to be, growing worse with each passing day as the darkness that has settled over this nation seems to be choking out everything that is good and decent. In the Natomas Unified School District in California, a teacher proudly displays an ANTIFA fascism flag, and he actively encourages his students to attend ANIFA pro-fascism rallies. While over in the Newport Mesa Unified School District, a teacher posted video to social media of herself instructing students to say the pledge of allegiance to a Progress Pride flag.
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17 (KJB)
This is the America the Democrats have long promised to create, and now it’s here in all it’s demonic glory. Joe Biden promised on Day One in office he would create Executive Orders calling for legal protection of the chemical castration of children, children who have been deluded into thinking they are a different gender than what they were born as. Who deluded them? Public school teachers promoting the LGBTQ+P for Pedophile agenda. America has become a nation that is ripe for judgment, as she continues her downward slide to the bottom.
Teacher Removed After Students Pledge Allegiance to Pride Flag
FROM YAHOO NEWS: Kristin Pitzen, the California schoolteacher who posted video to social media of herself instructing students to say the pledge of allegiance to a Progress Pride flag, has been removed from her classroom pending the outcome of an ongoing investigation by the Newport Mesa Unified School District.
“We are aware that one of our teachers posted a video on their personal social media that caused alarm and concern related to saluting the American flag,” Annette Franco, a spokesperson for the school district, wrote in an email to Newsweek. “Showing respect for our nation’s flag is an important value that we instill in our students and an expectation of our employees. The teacher is no longer in the classroom. We follow due process and our investigation continues.”
The school district did not provide any further information on the investigation. READ MORE
Natomas Teacher With Antifa Flag In Classroom Caught On Video Urging Students To Attend Protests
FROM CBS SACRAMENTO: The Natomas Unified School District is investigating a teacher who was allegedly caught on video claiming he keeps an Antifa flag in his classroom and encourages students to go to protests. An organization called Project Veritas filmed and edited the video they say shows Inderkum High School government teacher Gabriel Gipe having a controversial conversation off-campus.
“I have 180 days to turn them into revolutionaries,” Gipe allegedly said in the video.
Gipe allegedly goes on to say: “I have an Antifa flag on my wall. A student complained about that and said it made them feel uncomfortable. Well, it’s meant to make fascists feel uncomfortable I don’t know what to tell you.”
Natomas parents said they’re disturbed by extreme political beliefs being taught at a public school.
“As an adult, as a parent as something you have to be responsible. You have to show that you’re being aware,” said Imee Jacob, a Natomas parent. The video has been shared widely is angering parents and communities all over Northern California. READ MORE
