Anonymous Koch Brothers Supporter Attacks This Cultural Christian’s Religious Freedom
Any long
term reading of this blog has a sense of who and what I am about. I am
A-religionist – without religion and or dogma in any formal sense. In other
words, my place of worship of the divine is not listed in any “yellow pages”
(an obsolete term?).
Following
this blog you will know how I have painstakingly tried to deprogram myself from
twelve years of Roman Catholic brainwashing from my youth.
As a tangent
to that, I have been very active in blogging about the secret buggering cult of
the RC priesthood and especially that of my native Philly and all the recent
four archbishops there and their ambitions first, rather than truth and justice.
BTW the
parish I grew up in and the high school there are now defunct. They are in the inner
city and the RC church in Philly no longer seems to administer to the poor in terms of material or spiritual needs, that is if you have a zero balance in your
check books or a poor credit rating on the new Global Corporate (Dehumanized) Spreadsheet.
Another of
my support blog articles are for the civil rights of the LGBT community and their
struggle for basic human freedom and human rights in the United States. This in
solidarity with friends and family members over the years that have not had
these basic rights.
Aside for my
religious beliefs and or non-beliefs, the essence of my spiritual and or
soulful sense is expressed here especially when the new right wing GOP “Christian”
religion with it hate and bigotry and economic inequality are touted on the public
stage by public figures and or their stooges – touted as something Jesus taught
– which he did not.
This
Cultural Christian tries to adhere the basic notion of the Love thy Neighbor
and try to Care for you Neighbor teachings of Jesus who IMHO was only human in
a supreme evolutionary sense but definitely not a divine being and unlike the
Emperor /god /saint /general Constantine, the founder of the Roman Pagan Army “Christian”
Faith.
Also, in
this blog, I have illustrated other faiths as part of trying to piece together
the pieces of the puzzle of a new global culture emerging in a new global town
square sphere of cultural consensus.
So, I was mildly annoyed yesterday when someone hiding behind the “anonymous” label
attacks me for my simple asking of the question – “What is the Koch Brothers
religion?” – it is a question that is not be found on the Internet – an idea
and or fact vetted out of the equation of discussion with John Birch shadowy
Cult Figures who peddle right wing influence in this country to the detriment
of the common good IMO.

Have you
ever read your screeds. You come across as one dumb fucker, who is jealous of
other people's money. Stupid shit. Rabble rousing crap. Lazy fool. They give
more to the poor than you'll every know. You, on the other hand, deserve only scorn.

So if commenter 7, “Anonymous
3:05 PM” from December 29, does wants to man up or woman up and put
their name on their slurs against my practice of both First Amendment Rights of
free speech and religious freedom, so be it.
But can you
imagine the impact on American History if phrases like “Give me liberty or give
me death!” were in the final analysis attributed only to “AnonymousVA1775” – LOL
I woke up
this morning remembering the slimy shot for Anon305 which brings me to the fact
that I have checked this before and with my “What religion is the Koch Brothers?” article I have close to six thousand hits and it does not (strangely, oddly) show up on my top ten blog
items of all time.
I know that
Google which I believe controls my blog stats is always changing around the so-called screening algorithm that decides what gets choice place on Google Searches. I did
not know that perhaps sensitive comments about John Birch Cult Leaders could be
buried in terms of stats and not appear on blog stats published to me by
Google???
…between my
Pat Roberson white trash Green Bean Holiday Casserole Recipe and Quaker Cross –
A Symbol For Compassion blog articles listed as 6320 and 5759 hits respectively on that inaccurate
Google Top Ten Blog all-time list sent to me everyday.

Vladimir Putin Hiding Behind Patriarch Kirill's Skirts at Russian "Pussy" Blasphemy Trial
![]() |
| New Czar of all the Russias - Patriarch Kirill |
Dictator for Life Vladimir Putin hides behind Russian Orthodox Church to violate human rights! Rights of Free Speech.
The performance, a protest against the church's support for Putin, was part of a lively protest movement that at its peak saw 100,000 people turn out for rallies in Moscow, some of the largest in Russia since the Soviet Union's demise.
The plight of the three women, who have been held in a courtroom cage during pre-trial hearings, has also drawn attention in the West, where governments are closely watching how Putin will handle dissent.
Rights groups and musicians such as Sting and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have expressed concern about the trial, reflecting doubts that Putin - who could serve until 2024 if re-elected in six years - will become more tolerant.
In her opening statement, read out by defence lawyer Violetta Volkova, Samutsevich said she saw the prosecution as "the start of a campaign of authoritarian, repressive measures aimed to ... spread fear among politically active citizens."
Amnesty International has called for the release of the defendants, two of whom have young children, saying the charges are not a "justifiable response to the peaceful - if, to many, offensive - expression of their political beliefs."
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev dismissed criticism of the case in remarks published on Monday, saying the trial was a "serious ordeal" for the defendants and their families but that "one should be calm about it" and await the outcome.

Freedom of Speech is a Universal Human Right!
-
Freedom of Speech is a universal human right.
There is a war out there raging to suppress yours and mine - freedom of speech and expression. The leaders of this war are the Roman Catholic Church, Funadamentalist Islam, and Orthodox Judiasm to name just a few.
The Orthodox Jews in Israel just shouted down an orthodox rabbi who dared to say that “Jesus was a good rabbi”. Blasphemy! I suppose that is an improvement. Forty years ago I do not think that you could get one Orthodox Jew to even admit there was a historic figure called Jesus of Nazareth.
And that is where all this is leading. Laws against Blasphemy are popping up all around the planet. One took place on January 1, 2010, in the universal capital of religious buggery - Ireland.
The atheists there are diving in head first to challenge this piece of shite feel-good to the religionists law that could put a damper on any future criticism of the Catholic Church to go back to buggery in private and protected by the law should someone dare challenge the sacredness and sanctity of the behind the closed doors fantasy world of the clergy.
Atheists condemn blasphemy law
While this mockery of things held sacred by some is by itself possibly offensive, I believe that people of non-belief or of the new global order want fresh ideas to replace obsolete philosophies from the past. To open up the windows - let some fresh air in to the new global conversation.
There was the first annual Blasphemy Day last September 30 sponsored by the Center for Inquiry – one group representing the growing S.H.A.N.A.S (Secular, Humanist, Atheist, Non-believer, Agnostic, Skeptic) movement.
The Center For Inquiry
In response to the most recent Blasphemy Day none other that Hisself, Mister Catholic Virtue, of the Catholic League Bill Donahue chimed in at the catholic blogosphere with a few choice words about the idea of mocking other people’s sacred ideas in the present glutted town square of old and immerging ideas.
'Blaspemy Day' Targets Christianity
Which brings us back to Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard and his human right to practice his trade and live in peace and without fear of Muslim jihadists trying to kill free speech and subvert the world to the worship of their Prophet’s words.
Think back to when you first heard this story in 2005 about the cartoon about Mohammed and the riots in the third world, muslim world over defaming the prophet.
Seems that there was a conspiracy of local Danish Imams/clerics who wanted an apology from the newspaper that printed the cartoon. No apology necessary. Covered by free speech.
Well this conspiracy of Danish Muslim clerics, whether native born or not I do not know, they put together an infamous dossier with collected offensive images against Islam and started passing it along to the chief muslim clerics in Egypt and then Syria etc. Then these local clerics started to issue deflamatory statements against the cartoonist, the newspaper and finally Denmark. If you are a bully like Islam is, then pick on a small country without a Nuke - like Denmark.
Akkari-Laban dossier
To make a long story short, some of the images in that so called dossier got added to from country to country to the point where this weird PR campaign that only a Bill Donahue would understand got turned into Danish flag burnings, bombings, murders, fatwas and totally utterly religionist bullshit. Blasphemy is in the eye of the beholder.
Which leads to the attempted murder of Kurt Westergaard and his granddaughter by a Somali jihadist over the weekend. The police got him, shot him and then the dirty yellow rat bastard shows up in Danish Court and pleads “not guilty” to his failed hatred actions and religionist revenge. “Not Guilty” – that’s blasphemy!
Stemming out of all this hatred toward Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression is yet another Blasphemy Law before the United Nations to protect the religion of Islam from worldwide modern thought or comment.
AP: Muslim countries seek blasphemy ban
Freedom of Speech is a Universal Human Right!
Freedom of expression in the form of art, drawing or satire should be protected at all cost.
Whether the Danes acted incorrectly by not apologizing in a local matter, that should have been dealt with locally - official complaints, lawsuits, legislation etc.
The local standard stands - it may change over time - but when in Rome do as the Romans do.
These Muslim Akkari-Laban dossier guys should be tried for incitement to riot and murder in a global court.
Have a safe and free from religious blood thirsty fanatics day.

Atheists condemn blasphemy law
Atheists have begun a campaign against the Government’s new blasphemy law, which came into force on January 1st as part of the Defamation Act.Another organization, The Center For Inquiry staged a mock Blasphemy Day on September 30 in remembrance of the Danish Cartoonist depiction of Mohammed as a bomb throwing jihadist – the same cartoonist who was almost murdered in his home in Denmark over the weekend by a Mohammedist jihadist.
The group Atheist Ireland has published 25 quotes it says are blasphemous, attributed to people from Jesus Christ to Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern.
Under the new blasphemy law, which Atheist Ireland is campaigning to have repealed blasphemy is now punishable by a €25,000 fine.
It defines blasphemy as publishing or uttering matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby intentionally causing outrage among a substantial number of adherents of that religion, with some defences permitted.
While this mockery of things held sacred by some is by itself possibly offensive, I believe that people of non-belief or of the new global order want fresh ideas to replace obsolete philosophies from the past. To open up the windows - let some fresh air in to the new global conversation.

The Center For Inquiry
The mission of the Center for Inquiry is to foster a secular society based on science, reason, freedom of inquiry, and humanist values...It seems strange that atheists, non-believers, humanists are at the forefront of protecting Freedom of Speech. Of course, this campaign has its cynical side. I guess atheists, non-believers, secularists and doubters want to deprogram themselves of a lot of religionist bullshit shoved down their throats over the years, centuries.
Fostering a secular society requires attention to many specific goals, but three goals in particular represent the focus of our activities:
- an end to the influence that religion and pseudoscience have on public policy
- an end to the privileged position that religion and pseudoscience continue to enjoy in many societies
- an end to the stigma attached to being a nonbeliever, whether the nonbeliever describes her/himself as an atheist, agnostic, humanist, freethinker or skeptic.

'Blaspemy Day' Targets Christianity
Catholic League president Bill Donohue spoke to this event today:I am glad to be enlightened that our Founding Christian Fathers made a mistake in giving atheists “Human Rights”. Oh well. Consider the source.
"The Center for Inquiry is factually incorrect to say that “Free speech is the foundation on which other liberties rest.”
"Freedom of conscience is the first liberty, and it is inextricably linked to freedom of religion. Moreover, the whole concept of inalienable rights presupposes a belief in the Creator.
"In other words, atheists have the right to mock religion because our Christian Founding Fathers afforded them human rights.
"They are all such phonies. The stated purpose of Blasphemy Day has nothing to do with any religion but Islam, yet there is not one scheduled event insulting Muslims. We can only guess why. So who have they chosen to mock? You guessed it—Christians.

AP: Muslim countries seek blasphemy ban
GENEVA — Four years after cartoons of the prophet Muhammad set off violent protests across the Muslim world, Islamic nations are mounting a campaign for an international treaty to protect religious symbols and beliefs from mockery — essentially a ban on blasphemy that would put them on a collision course with free speech laws in the West.Let me end by repeating myself.
Documents obtained by The Associated Press show that Algeria and Pakistan have taken the lead in lobbying to eventually bring the proposal to a vote in the U.N. General Assembly.
If ratified in countries that enshrine freedom of expression as a fundamental right, such a treaty would require them to limit free speech if it risks seriously offending religious believers. The process, though, will take years and no showdown is imminent.
