On Tuesday, for the second time in as many weeks, Donald Trump tweeted about his commitment to end the persecution of Christians. By doing so, he is bringing desperately needed attention to what's brutally happening to more than 365 million people worldwide simply because they follow Jesus Christ. I work with an amazing Save the Persecuted Christians coalition committed to doing just that by holding accountable – and penalizing – those who perpetrate such crimes against humanity.  In fact, as president, Mr. Trump showed in microcosm the effectiveness of this approach when he sanctioned Turkey to achieve the release of Andrew Brunson, a pastor it was then persecuting. It must next be done at scale. God bless President Trump for standing with Christians! Do so now by boycotting Azerbaijan's upcoming climate change conference over its past and impending genocides of Armenian Christians. BoycottBaku.org.   This is Frank Gaffney.  

Yesterday, President Donald Trump powerfully differentiated himself from Vice President Kamala Harris on an issue of profound importance to millions of voters. He noted in a Truth Social post that she did “NOTHING as 120,000 Armenian Christians were horrifically persecuted and forcibly displaced” from an enclave in Azerbaijan known as Artsakh. He went on to warn that “Christians around the world will not be safe if…Harris is President” and that he will protect persecuted Christians, of whom there are estimated to be over 365 million worldwide. Incredibly, the UN decided to reward Azerbaijan for its past persecution of Christians and to ignore its promise to attack Armenia next by holding a climate change conference in Baku next month. Kamala Harris should start demonstrating solidarity with persecuted Christians by announcing the U.S. government will not “greenwash” Azeri genocide and will boycott Baku. This is Frank Gaffney.

It's Tuesday, February 27th, AD 2024. This is The Worldview heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Christian Armenians displaced from Artsakh Until October 2023, more than 100,000 ethnic Armenian Christians lived in Nagorno- Karabakh, also known as the Republic of Artsakh, a  breakaway enclave internationally recognized as a part of Azerbaijan, but populated by ethnic Armenians, reports International Christian Concern. Artsakh lies between Azerbaijan and Armenia, with the two nations fighting three wars over the past three decades over the enclave. The end of the Artsakh this year started with a nine-month blockade by Azerbaijan of Artsakh, followed by an overwhelming lightning military operation by Azerbaijan. In the days following Azerbaijan's takeover of the enclave, more than 100,000 Armenians, including over 40,000 children, fled Artsakh into Armenia. By October 1, Artsakh was virtually emptied of Armenians. The Artsakh refugees shared that the reason they left was because they feared being massacred by the Azerbaijani military if they stayed under their control. The families are struggling with the trauma of such rapid displacement and the loss of their nation, their land, homes, farms and everything they left behind. There is a deep sense of the history of the Armenian genocide repeating itself, which happened more than a century ago and killed and displaced millions of Armenians. At that time, the Ottoman Empire declared a holy war against the empire's Christians and sought to kill, or displace from their lands, its Christian populations and perhaps most significantly, Armenian Christians. America's mental fragility America's mental state is still in decline. Anti-depressant use for young people, between the ages of 12 and 25, spiked another 66.3% between 2016 and 2022. Apparently, the COVID years, and increased access to psychotropic drugs through telehealth appointments by Zoom have contributed to the rise. The study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that the monthly antidepressant dispensing rate increased 63.5% faster from March 2020 onwards compared with beforehand In 1990, approximately 3% of Americans were on anti-depressants. Today, 24.5% of college students are on anti-depressants, and 29% are on some form of psychotropic medication. Jeremiah 51:6-8 warns of the troubles in Babylon. “Flee from the midst of Babylon, and every one save his life! Do not be cut off in her iniquity, for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance; He shall recompense her. Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the Earth drunk. The nations drank her wine. Therefore, the nations are deranged. Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed. Wail for her! Take balm for her pain; Perhaps she may be healed.” More young men want children than young women Here's another interesting survey from Pew Research. Among 18 to 34-year-olds, 57% of young men would like to be a parent someday — but now, only 45% of young women would say the same thing. British officials look to register homeschoolers Homeschooling around the world has not seen much of an increase in state scrutiny and regulation over the last decade, but this may be about to change. England's Labor Party is pushing for tightened government oversight of the nation's growing homeschool population, including a national registry, and state monitoring.   The UK has about 100,000 homeschooled children. South Africa requires homeschoolers to register, avoid spanking, and submit to kid testing In related news, South Africa's Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill also represents an enormous power grab on the part of the statists in that country. The BBC reports that parents could be jailed for up to 12 months if their children are truant. The bill also bans all corporal punishment, mandates independent assessments of the children, and requires parents to register their homeschooled children with the National Department of Education. The ruling party, the African National Congress, supports the bill, while a smaller opposition, the Democratic Alliance, opposes the anti-homeschooling bill, stating that it “disempowers schools, parents, and communities -- and fails to address a single one of the systemic challenges that impede quality education.” Estimates put the number of homeschooled children in South Africa as high as 300,000. Why the Japanese yen has lost 50% of value After an extended slump, the Japanese Nikkei index is finally back up to where it was 34 years ago.   However, much of the recent improvement is due to $7 trillion of money printing over 12 years, on the part of the Japanese central bank. Also, the yen has lost 50% of its value to the dollar since 1990.  The nations of the world now officially in recession include Japan, the United Kingdom, Finland, and Ireland. China's struggling economy In addition, China's economy is not doing well either. More than 25% of Chinese aged 16-24 were unemployed in June of last year.  The international monetary fund is calling the China's real estate collapse “historic” — the worst in at least 30 years. For the last two years, China has experienced zero or lower GDP expansion than any year since 1977. Amos 4:6 places God as sovereign over economies. Listen to this: “I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in all your places; Yet you have not returned to Me,' says the Lord.” The protests of Belgian farmers Belgian farmers clogged the highways, and surrounded the European Union building in Brussels with 900 tractors on Monday morning. They protest bureaucracy, climate-related rules, imports from Ukraine, and other issues. According to Voice of America, farmers have demonstrated in France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Italy, and Greece over the last few weeks.

Extra print Illegals in Texas committing lots of crime The libertarian Cato institute has released a study of crime in Texas, indicating that the criminal conviction rate for illegal immigrants was 782 per 100,000.  That compares to a conviction rate of 535 per 100,000 legal immigrants, and 1,422 per 100,000 native-born Americans.   The data was based on a study performed on Texas crime, given that Texas is the only state that records and keeps the immigration statuses of those arrested.

Despite a near-total media blackout, 120,000 Armenian Orthodox Christians have been under blockade by their Muslim neighbors for pretty much the entirety of the year. For nine months, these Armenian Christians were being starved to death by a blockade that was imposed on them by the government of Azerbaijan.

On this edition of Parallax Views, James W. Carden, former adviser to the US-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission at the U.S. Department of State, returns to the program to discuss his articles "The Coming War in the Caucasus" (The American Conservative), "Israel's Other War: Ethnic Cleansing in the South Caucasus" (Antiwar.com), and "Kurt Campbell: The Lobbyist As Diplomat". Fears are mounting that the Aliyev regime, with the ever-present hand of Erdogan's Turkey, could soon target southern Armenia only months after the ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh. We'll also discuss Israel's role in arming Azerbaijan and the potential geopolitical reasons Israel has for doing so. Moreover, we'll discuss U.S.-Armenia relations, the Azeri lobby and it's influence in Washington, D.C., the resignation of Josh Paul from the State Department over the current Biden policy on the Gaza War, how elements of the so-called dissident wing of the American conservative movement's realism and restraint community have betrayed the plight of Armenian Christians, trauma-specialist Dr. Gabor Mate on Gaza, foreign policy fixture Kurt Campbell and his ties to shadow lobbying efforts, and more!

The world is witnessing in real time a genuine mass slaughter of humans. The carnage in Gaza is rapidly descending in horror on the scale of the Nazi slaughter of Jews in World War 2 and the Turk's genocide of Armenian Christians in 1915. Western nations are applauding Israel's bombing rampage in Palestinian neighborhood, churches, mosques, and hospitals. American Evangelical church leaders are using the Old Testament biblical scriptures as justification of Israel's bloodlust to kill off 2.5 million Palestinian men, women, and children. Today, a member of the Israeli Knesset openly endorsed genocide and proposed the complete destruction of every city and town in Gaza.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

In 2016, Illinois enacted SB 1564, a law that forces pro-life doctors and pregnancy centers to promote abortion, regardless of their ethical or moral views. ADF joined with NIFLA and Kathy Lesnoff, president and CEO of Mosaic Health in Illinois, to push back. Finally, their day in court 6 years later. We hear from Kathy and Kevin Theriot, senior counsel with ADF on the details. We also address the protests supporting Hamas, Mel Gibson speaks on the Armenian cleansing of Armenian Christians by Azerbaijan, and we end with a reality check on America's military might!

On September 19th, 120,000 Armenian Christians were attacked by Azerbaijan after almost a year of starvation at the hands of a suffocating blockade. After fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh, their lives are in complete chaos.

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Joel Veldkamp, head of international communications at Christian Solidarity International, to discuss the ongoing crisis facing Armenian Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh. Joel brings his expertise to shed light on the historical, political, and spiritual dimensions of this crisis, urging the global Christian community to stand in solidarity with their persecuted brothers and sisters. In the wake of the blockade's end, the situation has reached a critical point. With all but 50 Christians remaining in Nagorno-Karabakh, the rest have been exiled, leaving a once-thriving community nearly erased. Joel provides an updated look at the humanitarian aftermath, including the dire circumstances facing those who have been displaced. He also revisits the political landscape, examining how the actions of Azerbaijan and its allies have led to this near-elimination of the Armenian Christian community. The episode delves into the role that the U.S. and the global community can still play in this crisis, especially in light of these devastating developments. Joel emphasizes the ever-urgent need for spiritual, material, and political solidarity with the few remaining and the many exiled Armenian Christians. Finally, we discuss how Christians abroad can help—and why we as evangelicals must recognize that we belong to a global family.

Under a military blockade since December of last year, Armenian residents of the Nagorno-Karabakh region have been deprived of food, fuel, and medicine by neighboring Azerbaijan. After an Azerbaijani military offensive killed 200 and the provisional government of Nagorno-Karabakh disarmed, the exit route to neighboring Armenia was clogged with 28,000 refugees trying to escape.   Azerbaijani officials have long threatened Armenians with veiled threats of violence that watchdogs warn are genocidal. Armenia is the world's oldest Christian nation.   Azerbaijan has shown a commitment not only to kicking Armenians out of a land they have lived on for thousands of years, but also to erasing all evidence of their existence—destroying cemeteries, landmarks, and churches.  Armenia was backed by Russia, which makes U.S. involvement complex, but that seems fickle at best. Pray for the lives of Armenian Christians, and ask God to bring peace quickly to this troubled part of the world. 

In this week's episode, we dive deep into the headlines that are shaping our world and explore how they intersect with the Great Commission. From the UN's warning of a “great fracture” to geopolitical tensions between Canada and India, we ask: What does this mean for the spread of the gospel? We also shed light on the plight of the deaf community, who are among the largest unreached people groups, and discuss the role of the church in natural disasters, as seen in Morocco. Lastly, we touch on the ongoing persecution of Armenian Christians. Tune in for a biblically grounded take on current events. Mentioned during the show: UN Meeting: A Great Fracture Ahead?

History's greatest crime against humanity is happening now. In fact, the vicious persecution of more than 350 million Christians gets worse by the day and little is being done even to decry, to say nothing of ending, it.  Just last week, Sharia-supremacists in Azerbaijan – no longer content with deliberately starving 120,000 Armenian Christians in a region known as Norgono-Karabach – violently invaded their ancient homeland. Terrified that a resumption of an Ottoman Empire-style genocide will befall them next, virtually every man, woman and child is now desperately trying to flee. Washington did nothing to discourage, let alone prevent, such intensified persecution. Influenced by the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood, virtually silent Biden officials – including U.S. AID Director Samantha Power who actually wrote a book expressing regret about her previous failure to prevent genocide in Rwanda – have effectively encouraged it.  “Never again”? Not. This is Frank Gaffney.

Armenian Christians are no strangers to tragedy. In the early Twentieth Century, the Armenian Genocide claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Armenian Christians at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. Today, in September 2023, Armenian Christians are again being targeted and cleansed from their ancient homeland. Nagorno-Karabakh has been the home of Armenian Christians for over 1,700 years. But they are being systematically cleansed from these lands by Azerbaijan, who claim the region as their own. A grinding siege strangled Armenians there of food, water and electricity. Azerbaijan followed up by unleashing a lightning military assault. Today, in September 2023, forced deportations are underway. For the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, the ethnic and religious cleansing of Armenian Christians is in full force. Christians around the globe must raise their voices and prayers for these families and churches under fire. You may not have heard of Nagorno-Karabakh before. You may not know what exactly is going on and why. How can Christians around the world respond? To provide helpful context and answer these questions, Joel Veldkamp of Christian Solidarity International (CSI) joins the Christian Emergency Podcast.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The “destruction” of an enclave of 120,000 Armenian Christians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region is imminent, warns Siobhan Nash-Marshall, a US-based human rights advocate. Though internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh is made up almost entirely of Christian ethnic Armenians who claim self-sovereignty under the auspices of the Republic of Artsakh. On Wednesday, ethnic Armenians in the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh agreed to lay down their arms and dissolve their military forces following a short but intense Azerbaijan offensive on September 19. The attacks, which included rocket and mortar fire, were perpetrated by Azerbaijan under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev. In just over one day, over 200 Armenian Christians were killed, including 10 civilians, and many more were injured, the New York Times reported. Armenia and Azerbaijan have been fighting over the Nagorno-Karabakh region for decades. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255446/destruction-of-ethnic-armenians-is-imminent-warn-experts The United States Senate began confirming military appointments one by one on Wednesday to bypass a pro-life blockade led by Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville, which has been holding up the usually routine process since February. The blockade had caused a backlog of more than 300 appointments. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255442/senate-confirms-military-appointments-bypassing-pro-life-blockade-by-tuberville A group of pro-life students who participated in a demonstration at North Carolina A&T University last week during a visit to campus by Vice President Kamala Harris say they were escorted off campus by police for their own safety after being harassed by a large crowd. According to members of the group, they engaged in positive dialogue with students on campus. During her speech at the university, Harris called for greater access to abortion in the wake of the overturning of Roe v Wade. In a video shared on social media, profanities could be heard being shouted at the pro-life group. Photos from the protest show the pro-life group being taunted with obscene hand gestures. CNA reached out to the university for a comment but did not receive a response. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255440/pro-life-students-harassed-by-mob-after-vp-kamala-harris-talk-in-north-carolina Today, the Church celebrates Saint Maurice, a member of the Theban Legion, a Roman legion said to have been constituted by Christian soldiers from Africa, which was called to put down a revolt in Aaunum, located in modern day Switzerland, in the year 287. Two legends exist about the martyrdom of Saint Maurice and his companions. According to the legends, the legion's soldiers were either ordered to take part in pagan sacrifices, or ordered to harass and kill some local Christians. In either event, the 6,600 men of Maurice's legion refused. In punishment for their disobedience, every tenth man in the legion was killed. When the remaining soldiers, fortified by Saint Maurice, still refused other legions were called in to force them to follow their orders. Persisting in their refusal, they were all massacred. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-maurice-and-companions-602 The Church also celebrates Saint Thomas of Villanova, a 16th century Spanish Augustinian monk and archbishop who lived a life of austerity in order to provide for the spiritual and material needs of his people. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-thomas-of-villanova-710

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The blood of the martyr Saint Januarius again liquefied in Naples on Tuesday. The declaration that the miracle had again taken place was made at the start of Mass by Abbot Vincenzo De Gregorio. The archbishop of Naples, Domenico Battaglia, held the relic of the blood, moving the glass ampoules to demonstrate the liquid state of the blood to the sounds of strong applause, while the deputy of the wisdom of the people waved a white cloth. Saint Januarius is a bishop, martyr, and patron saint of Naples, Italy. Traditionally, on September 19 and on two other occasions a year, his blood, which is kept in a glass ampoule in the shape of a rounded cruet, liquifies. It is believed the miracle has taken place since at least 1389, the first instance on record. The liquefaction process sometimes takes hours or even days, and sometimes it does not happen at all. In local lore, the failure of the blood to liquefy signals war, famine, disease, or other disaster. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255410/blood-of-st-januarius-completely-liquefied-on-feast-day The United States Catholic bishops are calling on the faithful to embrace “radical solidarity” with mothers who are facing difficult or challenging pregnancies this October, which the Church in the United States has observed as “Respect Life Month” since 1973. Arlington Bishop Michael Burbidge, the chairman of the United State Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Pro-Life Activities, echoed Saint John Paul II's call for “radical solidarity,” which means, according to the bishop, “putting our love for them into action and putting their needs before our own.” The “Walking with Moms in Need” parish-based initiatives, which help parishes become welcoming places for mothers facing difficulties, are a possible option to get involved. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255413/us-bishops-urge-radical-solidarity-with-mothers-for-respect-life-month Azerbaijan unleashed military strikes against an enclave of about 120,000 Armenian Christians in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region on Tuesday, shelling buildings and firing on Armenian military and civilian positions. Pope Francis made a public appeal on Wednesday for both sides to “silence the weapons.” “I make my heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved and to the international community to silence the weapons and make every effort to find peaceful solutions for the good of the people and respect for human dignity,” Pope Francis said at the end of his Wednesday general audience. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255415/azerbaijan-unleashes-military-strikes-against-armenian-christians-in-nagorno-karabakh https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255421/pope-francis-appeals-for-peace-in-nagorno-karabakh-silence-the-weapons Today, the Church celebrates Saints Andrew Kim Taegon and Paul Chong Hasañg, who were leaders of the Catholic Church in Korea. Andrew Kim Taegon was born to Korean nobility, and his parents converted when he was 15-years old. He traveled over 1000 miles to study in a seminary and became the first native Korean priest. He was tortured and beheaded in 1846. Paul Choñg Hasang was a Korean Catholic lay leader who defended the faith before the government of Korea, and reunited the Christians in the midst of the persecutions, encouraging them to stay strong in the faith. In response to his direct appeals, the Pope, Gregory the tenth, confirmed the validity of the Korean Church and sent more priests to Korea. He was martyred in 1839. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/sts-andrew-kim-taegon-paul-chong-ha-600

Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy once opined that freedom of religion has “a double aspect—freedom of thought and action.” In other words, to be truly religiously free, one must not only be at liberty to believe, but act consistently with those beliefs. This concept of religious freedom—the right to live and act according to one's faith—has historically been assaulted by totalitarian government authorities. For example, early in the Second Century–when Pliny the Younger was a provincial governor in the Roman Empire–he wrote a letter to Emperor Trajan asking whether he was correct in executing Christians who refused to burn incense in worship of the emperor. Trajan said he was right to punish Christians, not because he cared what they believed, but he worried, refusing to engage in emperor worship was a means of rebellion and setting themselves apart from the reigning social order. In modern times, such oppression came to be seen as a profound violation of human rights. Thus, the very first clause of the First Amendment (1789) states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” More broadly, Article 18 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) provides: “Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.” That's unequivocal. Freedom of religion means the right to live according to one's own faith, that is, to “manifest” our religion or belief in practice, both “in public or private,” without interference from the state. Alas, freedom of religion is often as much under assault these days as in the time of Pliny the Younger. Indeed, assaults on religious practice are becoming increasingly commonplace. The questions are why, and what can be done about it? No one has put more thought into this urgent matter of human freedom than my guest today, Sam Brownback. Brownback served as ambassador at large for international religious freedom from February, 2018 until January, 2021. He also served as governor of Kansas from 2011 to 2018. Prior to that, he represented his home state in the United States Senate and in the house of representatives while a member of the Senate, he worked actively on religious freedom issues in multiple countries and was a key sponsor of the international religious freedom act of 1998. When Brownback left government service, he formed the National Committee on Religious Freedom, a nonprofit organization concerned with defending religious liberty in the United States. This is his third appearance on this podcast.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Research in the archive of the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome has uncovered a list of the names of thousands of Jewish people who found shelter from Nazi persecution in Catholic religious congregations in Rome from 1943-1944. While some of the information was first published in 1961, the full documentation, particularly the lists of people hidden in the Catholic institutions, had been considered lost, a September 7 press release explained. The Nazis occupied Rome from September 10, 1943, until June 4, 1944, when the city was liberated by the Allied forces. During that nine-month period, approximately 10,000-15,000 Jews faced persecution, and almost 2,000 Jews, including children and adolescents, were deported and murdered. The newly rediscovered documentation references more than 4,300 people hidden by 100 women's religious congregations and 55 men's religious congregations during the persecution. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255301/documents-identify-thousands-of-jews-hidden-by-catholic-religious-during-nazi-occupation-of-rome In a September 6 hearing, Representative Chris Smith accused the government of Azerbaijan of committing genocide against Armenian Christians in disputed territory in the country. During the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission meeting, Smith criticized the Azerbaijani government for continuing its blockade of the Lachin corridor, which is the only road that connects Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255308/lawmaker-accuses-azerbaijan-of-genocide-seeks-answers-on-biden-admin-s-plan A delegation of 90 Vietnamese Catholics and seven bishops traveled to Mongolia last weekend for the chance to see Pope Francis and deliver a special message. Unlike Mongolia, which has one of the smallest Catholic populations in the world, Vietnam is home to millions of Catholics, yet no pope has ever visited the southeast Asian country. Vietnam and the Holy See have never had full diplomatic relations, a usual prerequisite for a papal trip, but Vietnamese Catholics remain convinced that a papal visit could have a positive impact on the situation facing Christians in the socialist country. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255302/catholics-in-vietnam-ask-pope-francis-to-visit-their-country-next Today, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The circumstances of the Virgin Mary's infancy and early life are not directly recorded in the Bible, but other documents and traditions describing the circumstances of her birth are cited by some of the earliest Christian writers from the first centuries of the Church. These accounts, although not considered authoritative in the same manner as the Bible, outline some of the Church's traditional beliefs about the birth of Mary, including the belief that her parents decided that she would be offered to God as a consecrated Virgin for the rest of her life, and enter a chaste marriage with the carpenter Joseph. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/the-birth-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary-357

Lord Salisbury had decided to serve as his own Foreign Secretary and, indeed, it was events abroad that most marked his third administration. This episode starts by looking at the great feast of Empire which was Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee of 1897. It was Britain at its peak of might, with the biggest empire the world had ever seen, wealthy, powerful, and with a people broadly united behind the Queen, her Empire and her government. That last bit was something that men like Salisbury, in the government, made the most of. But behind the scenes, a rather different picture was beginning to emerge, of a country whose power, while great, was already in decline. This episode looks at three widely different events, out of the many that Salisbury addressed, that suggest this was happening: the Jameson raid in South Africa, the failure to intervene in support of the Armenian Christians against ongoing massacres by their Turkish overlords, and the US support for Venezuela in a border dispute with then-British Guiana.

Earlier this week, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, an American patriot and prominent Muslim reformer, warned that the Turkish-backed, stealthy-jihadist Muslim Brotherhood has deeply penetrated the Biden administration and exercises dangerous influence over its policies. That probably explains Team Biden's inaction with respect to an unfolding genocide Turkey and its proxy, Azerbaijan, are perpetrating against Armenian Christians in a region historically called Nagorno-Karabach. 120,000 followers of Jesus, are currently being starved to death by a Sharia-supremacist nation still treated as a NATO ally and its surrogate. During a staggeringly alarming webinar yesterday, former Senator and Ambassador Sam Brownback called for punishing sanctions on Turkey and Azerbaijan unless they stop preventing food, medicine and other necessities from reaching Christians in what is now formally the Republic of Artsakh. Amen! This is Frank Gaffney.

It's Monday, July 10th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 120,000 Armenian Christians need your help If you've never heard of Nagorno-Karabakh, you're not alone. Many Westerners are not even aware of its existence and its 120,000 endangered Christians, much less about its recent violent history. Lela Gilbert, Family Research Council's Senior Fellow for International Religious Freedom, spoke to The Worldview. GILBERT: “Nagorno-Karabakh is an enclave of Christians on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia. It's a conflict zone because Azerbaijan claims that it as its own and part of its country, but doesn't really tolerate the Christian community. The Christians are being very persecuted and being driven out. Armenia is in a conflict with Azerbaijan over this particular territory.” Once a part of the ancient Armenian Kingdom — with roots reaching back to the second century — the enclave's present upheaval dates to Stalin's regime in the USSR, when the dictator's remapping surrounded the Christians with Islamic Azerbaijan. GILBERT:  “Azerbaijan has blocked a highway, eliminating the opportunity for the enclave of Christians to gain food, groceries, medicine. So, it's been impossible for people to get their necessities.” Radical Muslims hate Christians. In keeping with the Koran's teaching, they want the Christians to convert to Islam or die. GILBERT: “There is a religious component to this conflict for sure. Azerbaijan is a very Islamist country. The Christians in both Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh believe this is an extension of the Armenian Genocide. There are many hundreds dead. The Armenian Genocide took place in the early 20th century. There were a million and a half Armenians killed during that genocide.” Please pray for the protection of the 120,000 Armenian Christians.  And secondly, send a polite email to the Embassy for Azerbaijan in Washington, D.C., urging the country to leave the Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh alone. Send your 1-2 sentence email to consul@azembassy.us Teacher fined $17,000 for objecting to wrong pronouns The Nottinghamshire County Council in England is demanding a dismissed teacher pay $17,000 in legal costs for the judicial review she pursued after she was fired for raising concerns about policies requiring teachers to affirm the non-biological identity of confused students. The teacher, identified in court documents as "Hannah," had worked at a primary school for seven years without issue until she voiced her concerns about an 8-year-old trans-identified student's transition, says the U.K.-based Christian Legal Centre, which supports the teacher. In addition, while the leftist Teaching Regulatory Authority conducts a witch hunt investigation, Hannah cannot work as a teacher. Michigan legislature eager to criminalize anti-trans speech Late last month, the Michigan House of Representatives passed HB 4474, a bill that if signed into law, will criminalize as hate speech any criticism against transgender ideology that makes a person ostensibly feel “frightened,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. In an attempt to silence critics and curtail First Amendment freedom of speech protections, transgender advocates in the Democrat-controlled Michigan legislature are seeking legal criminalization of opposition to sexual mutilation and chemical sterilization of children as discriminatory “hate speech.” The bill passed the Michigan House in a 59-50 vote and is likely to pass in the Democrat-controlled Senate before reaching liberal Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer's desk. Ben & Jerry's latest left-wing cause Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, headquartered in Vermont, has always championed Leftist causes like sexual perversion and shutting down the oil and gas industry. Last week they experienced backlash over its July 4th message that America should return "stolen indigenous land," reports Fox News. On Instagram, the brand posted, "This 4th of July, it's high time that we recognize the U.S. exists on stolen indigenous land and commit to returning it. Let's start with Mount Rushmore." (The also tweeted a similar message.) In a laughable development, a Native American tribe in Vermont wants Ben and Jerry's to return its stolen land which is today the land upon which the left-wing ice cream manufacturer is headquartered. Don Stevens, the Chief of the Nulhegan Band of The Coosuk Abenaki Nation, told Newsweek he's eager to facilitate the land's return. He told the publication the tribe was “always interested in reclaiming the stewardship of our lands.” However, his offer was met with the sound of crickets from Ben & Jerry's. Perhaps that will be their next flavor. Chocolate-covered crickets in vanilla ice cream. Target's flip-flop on “The Democrat Party hates America” Conservative author Mark Levin has just completed his latest book entitled  The Democrat Party Hates America. Target, known for its championing of sexual perversion and special transgender-friendly bathing suits for biological men pretending to be women, announced that it would not carry Levin's book because the title would offend its customers. In a tweet, Levin labeled the woke company as “pathetic.” After re-thinking their initially foolish censorship, Target decided to carry the book after all.  In a follow-up July 6th tweet, Levin wrote, “Target just informed my publisher that it has reversed course. The silent majority is silent no longer.” Worldview listeners in New Jersey and Ohio weigh in Worldview listeners continue to share their testimonials. Leslie Welsh in Florham Park, New Jersey wrote, “Dear Adam, I just sent in a small donation with prayers that your Christian newscast continues. It encourages Christians to stay involved through prayer and other action steps on behalf of the worldwide persecuted Church and our God-given rights in this country. Your broadcast is urgently needed during turbulent times.” And Kendra Petras in Ashland, Ohio wrote, “Our family has used this news service for the past few years as part of our homeschool. We listen to it for current events presented from a Christian worldview. I appreciate the global persecution section, U.S. news, and human interest new combined in a short newscast. “Additionally, it has been helpful to keep me informed of actions I should take. When I learned that Chase Bank had closed the account of a non-profit religious organization, I was prompted to talk with the bank and its Vice President.  After having a Chase credit card for 14 years, I decided to close our account.” 25 Worldview listeners gave $3,700 Incredibly, 25 Worldview listeners gave toward our $80,000 goal by Monday, July 31st to keep this unique Christian newscast on the air.

After fifty years of incorporating women leadership into churches, the survey is in. . . women lead in dying denominations. A careful analysis of women-led denominations indicates terrible trends towards liberalism and serious membership attrition. Where men abdicate as spiritual leaders in family and church, the results are catastrophic for the faith in following generations. Steadfast anchoring to faith amidst the storms will require men at the helm. The breakdown of men in family and church is a curse on society.--The judgment of God is seen upon a nation where men are walking down the river. And, there is no fixing a nation or churches, without a restoration of men. . . who will retain faith in God. . . and begin to lead again in home and church.--This program includes---1.

Generations with Kevin Swanson

According to tradition, St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew evangelized the region of Armenia in the first century. In the year 301, it became the first nation to declare itself Christian. Through centuries of warfare and oppression, its Christian identity has endured as part of Armenian culture, despite repeated attempts by neighbors to stamp it out.  In 1915, the Turkish Ottoman Empire killed an estimated 1.2 million people during what has become known as the Armenian Genocide. Under the pretext that they were insufficiently loyal to the empire, Ottoman authorities shot entire villages, forcibly converted families to Islam, and marched hundreds of thousands of women and children into the Syrian desert to die. The brutal campaign of extermination led to a significant diaspora of Armenians to other countries.   Even after Armenia emerged from Soviet dominance and declared itself an independent republic at the end of the 20th century, peace has remained elusive. Armenia has faced decades of conflict over the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region, where some 100,000 Armenian Christians now live but which Muslim-majority Azerbaijan sees as its territory. In 2020, as the world was preoccupied with the global pandemic, Azerbaijan waged war against Armenia. Seven thousand lives were taken, and the region has remained in the shadow of a fragile ceasefire since.   Today, most Armenians exist in a state of uncertainty. Given their control over the region, it may be that Azerbaijan is poised to commit a second Armenian genocide. According to University Network for Human Rights researcher Thomas Becker,  Over the past decade, Azerbaijani officials have invoked language used in the Rwandan genocide and the Holocaust, referring to Armenians as a “cancer tumor” and a “disease” to be “treated.” More recently, the country's authoritarian leader Ilham Aliyev has threatened to “drive [Armenians] away like dogs.”  The situation seems dire with Russia, Armenia's ostensible security guarantor, bogged down in its own war against Ukraine, and with Iran, Armenia's southern neighbor eager to fill the security vacuum. However, an unexpected recent development is that a significant number of Armenia's diaspora population has been returning to their homeland. After a hundred years of exile and living in places like Russia, France, and the United States, an estimated 50,000 Armenians repatriated prior to 2020, with thousands more joining them every year since.   For some, the motivation to return is economic. For others, it's about standing with fellow Armenians in the face of war. However, for many, the calling is about their faith. As the dean of Armenian Apostolic seminary put it, “We as a nation are called to witness to Jesus Christ in a very difficult region. … Our very existence is a testimony of Christianity.”  Lara Setrakian, an Armenian American journalist, moved back with her family at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. In a recent podcast, she put it this way,   I am doing what I'm called to do … and it is to be a helper like Mr. Rogers would say. It is a catastrophe. There are crises. But I want to be among the helpers. … We're not interested in not being Christian ... For Christians … this country is one big test of faith. And people I see are rising to the occasion. And they are finding strength, and they … have not ever given up. … They haven't given up the cross; they haven't given up their language, their love, their dance. They embody the resilience that we're all looking for.   Another repatriated Armenian mused, “In America, I had a good life: a big house, a good car. But when I say, ‘good life,' I mean something else.”  As so many in the West reel from a crisis of meaning, Armenian Christians have found joy in the face of severe hardship. In that way, we have much to learn from our Armenian brothers and sisters, even as we ask God to bless them, to strengthen their faith, and to bring peace to the nation they are rebuilding.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Kasey Leander.

20230413 - PlightCAST - Azerbaijan Continues Onslaught Of Armenian Christians by Kevin McCullough Radio

How safe are your kids online? This week on In The Market with Janet Parshall we heard from an expert who explained the need for better kid-friendly entertainment and why Congress needs to act to pass legislation to protect kids from online dangers and influences. The impact of the pro-choice agenda has permeated all walks of life including the medical profession. We shared the story of pro-life OB/ GYN’s that were kicked out of a major conference for their stand to save and protect the unborn. We sounded the warning on a plan to give the World Health Organization more power and influence over all of our lives. A new book is giving parents a valuable tool to combat the gender confusion of our day and help their kids understand and appreciate their God-given identity. One of the most respected news agencies has jumped on board the pro-choice train and is using toxic language to put a negative label on pro-life pregnancy help centers. The Middle East remains a volatile part of the world. We explained how Messianic Jews and Armenian Christians are targeted by Orthodox Jews. We also updated you on the aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Decision making can create anxiety and uncertainty within us. But our guest helped clear away the confusion and showed us how relying on God can give us peace, comfort and strength before, during and after we make those tough choices in our lives. We invite you to share your thoughts as we dig deeper into the news of the week.

It's Thursday, March 2nd, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Ugandan police rescued 50 children Praise God! Police in Uganda rescued 40 Christian children last month from a Muslim posing as a Christian charity leader. Officials arrested two people in connection with the kidnapping. The children were lured into a hotel. They would likely have been sold to a rebel militant group in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A local pastor helped uncover the scheme. Speaking to Morning Star News, he said, “I appeal to the whole body of Christ in Uganda to be vigilant towards strangers who come in the name of helping children. We thank God for rescuing our children.” Jesus said in Matthew 18:10, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in Heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in Heaven.” United Nations to Azerbaijan: Reopen access to Armenian Christians The United Nations' International Court of Justice issued a binding order last Thursday in a conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The court ordered Azerbaijan to do everything in its power to reopen access to a region disputed by the two countries. The Nagorno-Karabakh region is in Azerbaijan but is inhabited and controlled by ethnic Armenians. Since December, Azerbaijani protestors have blocked access to the area. This has created a humanitarian crisis for tens of thousands of Armenian Christians there.  Baroness Caroline Cox from U.K.'s House of Lords warned, “This could be another stage of genocide, destruction of Christian people, destruction of Christian heritage. And we need to pray.” Christian college v. Biden over dorms On Monday, a Christian college in Missouri filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court against a Biden administration rule that violates the college's religious beliefs. A directive from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development would require College of the Ozarks to open sex-specific campus dorms to people of the opposite sex. Alliance Defending Freedom is representing the college. Attorney John Bursch said, “We hope the Supreme Court will take this case to halt the government's inappropriate order targeting religious institutions and to respect the privacy, dignity, and safety of female students.” Florida looks to ban taxpayer money from abortion mills Last Wednesday, Ashley Moody, Florida's Republican Attorney General, filed a motion for reinstating a law that bans taxpayer funding from going to abortion mills in the state. A district court halted the 2016 law from going into effect. Now that Roe v. Wade is overturned, Moody argues the law should be reinstated. In an interview with LifeSiteNews, the office of Republican Governor Ron DeSantis said, “We support this move to fully defund Planned Parenthood from any taxpayer support.” Mississippi bans “sex-change” surgeries for kids On Tuesday, Mississippi became the seventh state in the U.S. to ban so-called sex-change surgeries on minors. The state's legislature passed the bill on February 21. Republican Governor Tate Reeves signed it this week. In a press conference, Reeves labeled transgender ideology as a dangerous movement that Mississippi was standing against. REEVES: “In a world that's upside down, when it comes to doing right by our kids, Mississippi will once again fight to keep our state right side up. And that's why Mississippi will also follow the science and keep our kids safe.” Poll: 7.2% of Americans identify as sexually perverted A new survey from Gallup found 7.2% of adults in America identity with a sexually perverted lifestyle as of 2022. That percentage is double what it was ten years before when Gallup first measured it.  Eighty-six percent of Americans still identify as heterosexual.  Nearly 20% of adult members of Generation Z, those born since 1997, identified as homosexual, bisexual, or transgender. It's the largest proportion of any generation.  Only 4% of Americans have a Biblical worldview The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University recently released the first study on Biblical worldview in America since the COVID-19 pandemic. Only 4% of Americans have a Biblical worldview now, down from 6% in 2020. The study found nearly every demographic subgroup experienced a decline in adherence to a Biblical worldview.  The study noted, “The only exception to the trend was a single percentage-point increase among Blacks, rising from 3% in 2020 to 4% in 2023. The most noteworthy declines across the three years were recorded among born-again Christians (down six percentage points).” The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum top 2 religious museums And finally, USA Today released their 10 Best Poll of best religious museums in 2023. Attractions run by Answers in Genesis in Kentucky ranked at the top. The Ark Encounter, a life-sized Noah's ark, came in first, and the Creation Museum came in second. Ken Ham with Answers in Genesis said, “I'm thrilled that more and more families have been discovering and enjoying our wholesome, God-honoring attractions in our constantly changing culture.” God said in 1 Samuel 2:30, “Those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Thursday, March 2nd in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

It's Thursday, January 26th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 100,000 Armenian Christians facing genocide Over 100,000 Armenian Christians are facing a humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh, a landlocked region between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Last month, Azerbaijani protestors blocked the only road into the region, cutting off the area from food, supplies, and medicine. Christian aid and humanitarian organizations signed a joint statement of concern, warning conditions are now present for genocide. The statement said, “The current Azerbaijani aggression against the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh conforms to a long pattern of ethnic and religious cleansing of Armenian and other Christian communities in the region.” Japan facing population crisis Japan's prime minister issued a dire warning to the country's lawmakers on Monday regarding their population crisis. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said it is “Now or never when it comes to policies regarding births and child-rearing. … Japan is standing on the verge of whether we can continue to function as a society.” Japan has the second highest proportion of people aged 65 or older of any country in the world. And their births last year fell below 800,000 for the first time. Kishida hopes to double funding for child-related programs as the nation of 125 million faces demographic decline. Psalm 127:3-5 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.” Canada drops charges against pastor who held “drive-in” services during COVID lockdown Last Monday, prosecutors in Canada dropped charges against an Ontario pastor for holding worship services during COVID-19 lockdowns. Pastor Henry Hildebrandt led his congregation in drive-in services during a stay-at-home period in 2021. Police gave him an $800 ticket, claiming he did not have the right to do this despite there being exceptions for drive-in religious services. Hildebrandt said, “There comes a time when we as Christians have to stand for what is right regardless if it is popular.” Acts 5:29 says, “We must obey God rather than men.” Connection between decline in church attendance and despair deaths The National Bureau of Economic Research released a new study on the connection between declining American church attendance and despair deaths. Deaths by drugs, alcohol, and suicide are known as deaths of despair. The researchers wrote, “We show that the initial rise in deaths of despair in the US was preceded by a large decline in organized religious participation … states with high levels of religiosity have suffered less from mortality due to alcohol, suicides, or drug poisonings.  … The impact that we witness seems to be driven by the decline in formal religious participation. … These results underscore the importance of cultural institutions, such as religious establishments, in promoting well-being.” Dept. of Justice arrested two pro-abortion vandals The U.S. Justice Department announced yesterday it finally arrested abortion activists following hundreds of attacks on churches and pro-life centers last year. A federal grand jury indicted 27-year-old Caleb Freestone and 23-year-old Amber Smith-Stewart for vandalizing pregnancy centers in Florida. The two of them spray-painted threats on the centers including, “If abortions aren't safe, than neither are you,” “YOUR TIME IS UP!!,” and “WE'RE COMING for U.” If convicted, they could face up to 12 years in prison and fines of up to $350,000. Ecclesiastes 8:11 says, “Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.” The monarch butterfly reflects God's creativity Have you ever seen the tiny yet beautiful monarch butterfly and marveled at the colors and the grace of this little creature?  Kayla White, the author of the 78-page hardback entitled Melody: A Monarch Miracle, captured the dramatic transformation from caterpillar to butterfly with vivid pictures and detailed descriptions. Stay tuned for a Worldview Special Report immediately following the newscast. A slight increase in U.S. children living with married mom and dad And finally, a report from the Institute for Family Studies identified a positive trend for families following the COVID-19 pandemic. The share of children living in a married, two-parent household is up slightly. The percentage of kids living in intact families fell from over 85% in the 1960s to under 65% by the 2010s. However, that proportion has increased by about 1.5 percentage points since 2014. The report noted, “All in all, the decline in intact families in America appears to have bottomed out for now. The reasons for this are many [including] declining divorce and falling nonmarital fertility.”  Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Thursday, January 26th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

A Worldview Special Report: A closer look at the monarch butterfly Time now for a Worldview Special Report by Emily Munday. I'm Adam McManus Have you ever wondered how a monarch butterfly came to be? The Worldview spoke to Kayla White, the author and photographer of Melody: A Monarch Miracle about this glorious representation of God's creation. WHITE: “One of the things I learned about the wonder of who God is through writing Melody is that the Lord can create a very ‘simple' creature, yet it can confound the smartest human minds on Earth. The monarch alone displays enough of the genius of our Creator to keep men busy mining the depths of His design for literally decades. We still don't understand or know everything there is to know about the monarch!” She marvels at the intricate details which God fashioned in the monarch butterfly. WHITE: “One of my favorite surprising facts about the monarch butterfly is that parts of the butterfly such as its wings proboscis (what it uses to drink nectar), and eyes actually start growing inside the caterpillar. We call them imaginal discs at this stage, and they finish developing inside the chrysalis.” Taking the photographs of the monarch butterfly's transformation herself transformed White spiritually. WHITE: “Taking pictures of the butterflies taught me more patience—I had to wait for quite a while to get some of the pictures, especially of the butterfly emerging from the chrysalis. Taking pictures of each stage of the butterfly's lifecycle also illustrated the power of prayer to me again. “I had several friends praying for me and the chrysalis that is used in the book as I worked on getting the pictures. It only takes a few minutes for the butterfly to emerge, so I had a very short window to get good photographs. The lighting and focus must be exactly right for them to turn out well since I only had one chance!” She said that she wanted to convey the power of God to children through her documentation of this tiny butterfly with a four-inch wingspan. WHITE: “One thing I want to convey to children about God is His power to create something from nothing, to make a new creation. He is the God who works miracles. Watching the caterpillar form a chrysalis is something unlike anything I've ever seen—it literally completely changes form before your eyes, with the change being fully completed once it emerges as a butterfly. “A beautiful butterfly that flies thousands of miles and drinks nectar is so completely different from a worm that can't travel very far, inches around, and spends its whole life chewing on leaves. It really is truly a miracle.” White revealed how she captured the vivid pictures of the butterflies. WHITE: “I use a variety of methods for photographing the butterflies at the various stages of development. Most of my pictures of the egg, the larval, and the pupal stages come from raising them in captivity. I captured the caterpillar as it emerged from the egg while indoors because the egg is so small that the only possible way obtain such shots is by being in a very still environment. “I bring the caterpillars to special photography sites once they start molting or forming a chrysalis to capture those stages. The easiest way I've found to photograph the butterflies is to take a few pictures just after releasing them into the wild.” Pick up a copy of Kayla White's 78-page hardback book entitled Melody: A Monarch Miracle.

20230111 - PlightCAST - Armenian Christians Facing Slaughter At The Hands Of Azerbaijan by Kevin McCullough Radio

Dr David Wurmser discusses the curent unrest in Iran and the Iranian people's desire to take down the Ayotolah and replace him with their own chosen government. The Biden administartion is siding with the same regime that has declared it will destroyt the West.Also the history of the fall of civilizations when they lose sight of their foundation. Islam destroyed Rome not because of military might but because of the collapse of the third pillar which led to the dark ages. Pastor Greg points out the absolute necessity to keep God in the nations DNA. Turkey is committing genocide against Armenian Christians. Israel has voted in the first religiusly conservative givernment in its history since 1948. How might this influence their future. H Wayne White author of a new book entitled The Decline of Ameirca: A Cancer Spreading in America discusses the 45 Goals of the Communist party and how Communism as a description has been replaced by the word Progressive. This is a great deception and we must call out communsm as it has been responsible for the worlds greatest mass murder over 100,000,000 killed in the name of communism.

Armenian and other orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on 6 January instead of 25 December. These are some of the most ancient Christian communities on earth. Here's a look at their time-honored traditions.

Recorded & Edited : Fr Lijesh MST, Santhome Impact | Voice : Philip Thomas & Teena Mary Abraham Recently an Indian English newspaper reported the American president's decision to declare as genocide the massacre and cruelties unleashed upon the Armenian Christians in 1915. The dates, figures and other facts reported were correct except not a single word in that four column report mentioned the ‘persecuted people' were Christians. The report failed to point that the real reason behind that atrocity was the victims' faith in Christ.

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we talk about one of the biggest war crimes in modern history, the Armenian Genocide. Through a systematic effort, the Ottoman Empire ruled by the Young Turks killed upwards of 1.5 million Armenian Christians through murder, forced marches, hunger, and disease. This was during World War One, and the empire thought Armenia (part of their empire) was going to side with Russia while everyone else sided with Germany. The state rounded up the men first and killed them village by village. The Turks then sent the women on death marches into the Syrian desert that lasted weeks or months. They were raped, beaten, and often had to watch their family and children be murdered. Tens of thousands were forced to live with new men (some willingly, sometimes the murderer of their family) and turn to Islam and have children. Those were the lucky ones, if such a thing can said to exist. So what brought this Armenian Genocide on? How many survived? Who were members of a Butcher Brigade? When did the US Government finally recognize this genocide? Listen, laugh, learn.   Visit Our Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Genocide https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-armenian-genocide-1915-16-overview https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/ref/timestopics/topics_armeniangenocide.html https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-i/armenian-genocide https://www.facinghistory.org/resource-library/video/introducing-armenian-genocide http://www.genocide-museum.am/eng/armenian_genocide.php https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/04/24/statement-by-president-joe-biden-on-armenian-remembrance-day/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Nemesis

An estimated 1.5 million Armenian Christians were killed by the Ottoman government during World War I, in what came to be known as the Armenian Genocide. The perpetrators escaped Constantinople in the middle of the night and began new lives undercover in Europe. So, a small group of Armenian survivors decided to take justice into their own hands. In this episode from Kerning Cultures, the secretive operation to avenge the Armenian Genocide, and how it changed the idea of justice in the modern world. This story originally aired on Kerning Cultures [hyperlink: https://link.chtbl.com/kerning-cultures], a podcast telling stories from across the Middle East and North Africa and the spaces in between.

President Joe Biden made history this past weekend when he became the first sitting US president to recognize the massacre of as many as 1.5 million Armenian Christians by the Ottoman Empire—present-day Turkey—in the early twentieth century as a genocide. In The Daily Article for April 27, 2021, Ryan Denison asks, “Why should President Biden's decision to officially acknowledge the genocide as a genocide matter to each of us?” Written by Ryan Denison. Narrated by Chris Nichter.

SONGS OF SOLOMON is a powerful drama from Armenia. It's about an orphaned Armenian Christian boy, Solomon Komitas, who grows up to be known as the savior of Armenian music and the founder and creator of ethno-musicology. The archbishop notices Solomon's beautiful singing voice when he is an orphan, so Solomon attends seminary. Thirteen years later, in 1894, the Ottoman Turks call for the extermination of the Armenian Christians. Some of Solomon's friends become victims of the genocide. Another genocide occurs in 1915. It envelops Solomon, who by then has become an archbishop himself.

War crimes? Cluster bombs being used against Armenian Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh. Here's some evidence.

Transcribed highlights of the show can be found in our episode summaries. This fall, violence broke out again between Armenia and Azerbaijan over a contested region in Azerbaijan known as Nagorno-Karabakh. Home of 170,000 people, the majority of its inhabitants are ethnic Armenian and the area itself has been governed by ethnic Armenians since 1994. The countries’ close allegiances with other countries had worried many that the fighting and civilian deaths might spiral into a regional conflict. Armenia, for instance, has close ties to Russia and, to a lesser extent, Iran. Azerbaijan has the strong support of Turkey and some have reported that Syrian militants are also fighting alongside the Azeri. Another complicating level is religion. More than 95 percent of Azerbaijan’s 10 million people identify as Muslim, mostly Shiite. More than 90 percent of Armenia’s three million people identify as Christian, specifically Armenian Apostolic. Armenia also boasts the oldest state church, all the way back to the beginning of the fourth century A.D. This week on Quick to Listen we talked to Felix Corley about the country’s Christian heritage and the extent to which it is playing a role in the current conflict. Corley is editor of Forum 18 News Service, which covers religious freedom issues in the former Soviet Union. He has written extensively on the Armenian Apostolic church in the Soviet period. Corley joined global media manager Morgan Lee and editorial director Ted Olsen to discuss how Christianity first arrived in Armenia, the enduring trauma of the genocide, and how the Apostolic Church engages and interacts with other Christians in the country.W hat is Quick to Listen? Read more Rate Quick to Listen on Apple Podcasts Follow the podcast on Twitter Follow our hosts on Twitter: Morgan Lee and Ted Olsen Learn more about Forum 18 Music by Sweeps Quick to Listen is produced by Morgan Lee and Matt Linder The transcript is edited by Bunmi Ishola Learn more about your ad choices.

Website:  https://www.rockstaresoterica.com/p2bp-podcast In this episode we go into the strange contradiction of the Nazi’s official “solution” to the “Jewish Question” from 1933 up to the breakout of WWII.  What is rather peculiar, is that you will find a collaboration between the two most extreme oppositional forces one could think of in Anglo-American modern history: Nazis and Jews.  This collaborating “synthesis” was “Palestine-ho!” (i.e. Zionism) for the Jews in Germany and the surrounding areas––albeit for entirely different reasons.  To add further to this dialectical conundrum, you had the warring powers of Britain and Germany that magically synthesized on the same issue: the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.  Thus the issue of Zionism transcended all polarities, though it differed in policy for the Protestant vs. Catholic powers: which is to say, the Popes, Cardinals and Catholics were against it; while the Protestant nations were for it, despite their vastly different reasons as to why.  But, even amongst the Jews themselves, this vision of a Jewish utopia for safety and security was far from a magical kumbaya of holding hands and marching to Zion in unity; ranging from propaganda and “fake news” used against each other, to boycotts, to transfer agreements, and even primitive Mossad agents working with Nazis to illegally smuggle Jews past British authorities in Palestine… but it matters not! For Zionism, the ends justify the means…so they say. 
Part 2 for Members: We discuss the background in more “esoteric” detail, along with Papal views and policies regarding the notion of a Jewish state.  We further contrast this with Protestant viewpoints of Zionism, particularly from “British-Israel” against the profane “idolatry” of Roman Catholicism and its sanguine history of hate and massacre of European Jews (so the story goes).  We also get much more in depth to a strange alliance of German Zionists with the Pasha leader of the Young Turks who led a “Holocaust” of Armenian Christians; but that, of course, mattered not to his supporters in Germany, and allow him safe refuge to escape a trial for war-crimes; it took a victim of the Armenian Genocide to come to Germany and assassinate him for any justice to be had.  For some odd reason, this Armenian “Holocaust,” long predating the Jewish one, and millions in number, is hardly – if ever – focused on in the history books, and even denied by many in connection with Israeli relations. Perhaps there’s a reason why? Maybe because it was led by Freemasonic crypto-Jewish revolutionaries, the two main forces that hate Catholic Christendom, be it East or West.  There will be a Part 3 for members/subscribers soon, since this episode didn’t get to everything we had intended.

In Sharing the Burden: The Armenian Question, Humanitarian Intervention, and Anglo-American Visions of Global Order (Oxford University Press, 2019), Charlie Laderman exposes the way that imperial ambitions suffused the ideas and practices of turn-of-century humanitarian intervention. Beginning his story in the late 19th century Ottoman Empire, Dr. Laderman demonstrates how the successive waves of violence perpetrated against Armenian Christians provoked new ways of thinking about imperial governance, the practice of intervening on humanitarian grounds, and notions of “civilization” itself. Laderman's book opens in the mid-19th century Ottoman Empire, when both Eastern and Western European states stood poised to further destabilize the Ottoman government with repeated interventions and invasions into its territory, ostensibly on behalf of the Ottoman Empire's non-Muslim subjects. The Ottoman administration's precarity, coupled with intensifying religious and ethnic tensions along the Empire's far-flung borders, created conditions that were ripe for violence and abuse. By the 1890s, this violence became directed squarely at the Armenian Christian minority in the eastern province of Anatolia. The repeated waves of violence committed against the Armenian Ottomans after 1894 became what both Laderman and his historical actors call the “Armenian Question”—a problem that British and U.S. officials, American missionaries, and the broader American public became increasingly desperate to “solve.” Laderman structures his book around the kinds of “solutions” that American and British politicians, missionaries, and journalists proffered in response to escalating violence toward Armenians. In Laderman's telling, the Armenian massacres became a lens through which British and American officials came to interpret the practices of “enlightened” versus “barbaric” imperial rule—and it made them puzzle whether or how a prospective Anglo-American alliance might secure a more “stable” and humanitarian global order. In recovering this history, Dr. Laderman challenges the notion that humanitarian intervention originated as a form of international politics only in the latter half of the 20th century. He ultimately demonstrates just how crucial the Armenian Genocide was in early 20th-century conceptions and praxes of imperial internationalism—and what this meant for the Anglo-American relationship and global governance more broadly after the First World War. Charlie Laderman is a Lecturer in International History at the War Studies Department of King's College, London.

In Sharing the Burden: The Armenian Question, Humanitarian Intervention, and Anglo-American Visions of Global Order (Oxford University Press, 2019), Charlie Laderman exposes the way that imperial ambitions suffused the ideas and practices of turn-of-century humanitarian intervention. Beginning his story in the late 19th century Ottoman Empire, Dr. Laderman demonstrates how the successive waves of violence perpetrated against Armenian Christians provoked new ways of thinking about imperial governance, the practice of intervening on humanitarian grounds, and notions of “civilization” itself. Laderman’s book opens in the mid-19th century Ottoman Empire, when both Eastern and Western European states stood poised to further destabilize the Ottoman government with repeated interventions and invasions into its territory, ostensibly on behalf of the Ottoman Empire’s non-Muslim subjects. The Ottoman administration’s precarity, coupled with intensifying religious and ethnic tensions along the Empire’s far-flung borders, created conditions that were ripe for violence and abuse. By the 1890s, this violence became directed squarely at the Armenian Christian minority in the eastern province of Anatolia. The repeated waves of violence committed against the Armenian Ottomans after 1894 became what both Laderman and his historical actors call the “Armenian Question”—a problem that British and U.S. officials, American missionaries, and the broader American public became increasingly desperate to “solve.” Laderman structures his book around the kinds of “solutions” that American and British politicians, missionaries, and journalists proffered in response to escalating violence toward Armenians. In Laderman’s telling, the Armenian massacres became a lens through which British and American officials came to interpret the practices of “enlightened” versus “barbaric” imperial rule—and it made them puzzle whether or how a prospective Anglo-American alliance might secure a more “stable” and humanitarian global order. In recovering this history, Dr. Laderman challenges the notion that humanitarian intervention originated as a form of international politics only in the latter half of the 20th century. He ultimately demonstrates just how crucial the Armenian Genocide was in early 20th-century conceptions and praxes of imperial internationalism—and what this meant for the Anglo-American relationship and global governance more broadly after the First World War.

Last month, after nearly a decade as Franklin & Marshall College’s chaplain, Susan Minasian has moved on, back to her home state of Virginia, where she will serve as pastor at Sojourners United Church of Christ in Charlottesville. Her tireless work on the college campus and all across Lancaster county was renowned in both religious and secular circles.We talked about what brought her to Lancaster in the first place over three decades ago, and why she decided to start a new chapter in a familiar place. Though it ranges over several individual topics, the conversation maintains the theme of raging against injustice. Whether in the form of the Turkish program of genocide perpetrated against Armenian Christians a century ago, or working against forms of exclusive theological thought, Susan Minasian leads with her own brand of contemplative activism.Music by Ari GoldOriginal cover art by Russell Foltz-Smithhttp://samschindler.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/WWWA_036_SusanMinasian_040217.mp3DOWNLOAD this episodeSUBSCRIBE to this podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

From 1915 to 1918, the Ottoman Empire, today known as Turkey, brutally and systematically murdered 1.5 million Armenian Christians. The event was considered quite successful. In fact, predecessors like Adolf Hitler followed the model of the Ottoman government when organizing his Holocaust during WWII. Considered the first modern genocide, the Armenian Genocide still goes formally unrecognized in Turkey and the United States. How can such atrocity go unrecognized after ninety years?
