Comment worth noting: ‘7delta’ answers Hetfield of
HIAS, Inc. by Ann Corcoran 4/21/16 Not intentionally though…..
Editor: Yesterday while I was away in Washington, DC, ‘7delta’ left an
important comment to my post of two days ago about the legislation making its
way through the South Carolina legislature, read about it here, that would among other things make the
Volags (the federal refugee contractors) responsible for any criminal activity
any of their ‘clients’ might be responsible for in the state.
The ‘religious’ federal refugee contractors
are screaming bloody murder saying that such a RESPONSIBILITY for their charges
(their refugee clients) abridges their (the Volags) religious freedom.
Hetfield never
mentions to readers of the Washington Post that his organization receives
millions of your tax dollars every year to place refugees in your towns in a
process completely lacking in transparency. The WaPo does its readers a great
disservice by not adding such a disclaimer.
It was really no
surprise to see that Mark Hetfield, the President of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society,
penned an op-ed on this very subject in the Washington Post (which I read in the train station
yesterday).
By the way, a few
years ago the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society dropped the word ‘Hebrew’ from its name
and is now HIAS, Inc. I’m speculating that perhaps
the many Muslim refugees they resettle now might have objected to the ‘Hebrew’
word, or it is meant to reflect the fact that the UN/US isn’t resettling Jews
and the organization wanted to remain relevant (and able to collect your tax
dollars for their ‘religious charitable work.’).
Here is just one
paragraph of the Hetfield WaPo defense (LOL! they are on the defense in many ‘pockets
of resistance’ these days).
As the shocking rise in anti-Muslim bigotry collides with increasing
concern about terrorism at home and abroad, legislation attacking refugees has spread
rapidly spread across the country. But South Carolina’s bill could set a unique
and dangerous precedent. If South Carolina passes this disastrous legislation,
it risks not only endangering those seeking refuge on our shores and tarnishing
our country’s proud tradition of assisting those forced to flee their homes,
but also jeopardizing the promise of religious freedom that is the core of
American civic life. Continue reading here.
Note how deceptively
Hetfield writes, this bill doesn’t ‘attack’ refugees, it places responsibility
for them on Hetfield (as a contractor) and he doesn’t like that one bit.
‘7delta’s’ timely
comment works very well to answer Hetfield, but before you read it, I need to
mention another comment to the same post from a reader identified as
‘o’reilly.’ This made me laugh:
I don’t
know why the agencies would object to this provision. They constantly brag
about the layers and layers of checks that are done before bringing the
“refugees” to the U.S.
If they
don’t have faith in those checks, why should we?
Here then is ‘7delta’
inadvertently answering Hetfield (I’m grateful for people like ‘7delta’ who do
such thoughtful, careful work which I don’t have the patience to do!) in a
response to another reader ‘Conprof’ who said:
Thank you to our brave SC Senator Kevin Bryant a legislator who
understands the U.S. Constitution and what it means to have religious freedom;
it does not mean one can do anything and everything, no matter how dangerous,
ill-advised, exploitive, or illegal, in the name of religion.
(Edited from the
original only by adding paragraph breaks and highlighting important points)
The Constitution isn’t a suicide pact. SCOTUS
ruled early on in this country’s history that religious claims did not exempt
any person or group from having to abide by our laws and to assimilate into our
culture.
There is no right or Constitutional protection
to be detrimental or harm another person or their rights, or to undermine
society or the government, morally or physically. No human or animal sacrifices, polygamy, patricide,
etc….or honor killings, beheadings, mass murder in the name of any god or
coercion, threats, whining about discrimination for being required to abide by
our laws or making false claims about objections to their laws being forced by
legislative means, treaty or acquiescence as being hate or phobic, or the use
of violence to force us (non-believers) to accept and abide by their political
religious laws that are contrary to ours.
Of course, the SCOTUS
ruling was not addressing government misusing religion as a means to cause its
version of harm, AKA fundamental transformation, but the principles remain the
same. In this case, SCOTUS was correct.
However, the whole
narrative and practice about the separation of church and state has been
abusive and unconstitutional since SCOTUS misrepresented it in the 1960’s to
remove prayer from schools. As a co-equal branch of the federal government, it
did exactly what it claimed to correct; it interfered with the individual’s 1st
Amendment protections by placing the federal government in the position to
arbitrate exactly what it is expressly prohibited from doing in the 1st
Amendment, as well as usurping the sovereignty of States to determine its own
laws and practices that are not reserved to the limited authorities granted to
the federal government.
As for the religious
volags claiming their 1st Amendment rights are being violated, their claims are
in complete opposition to what the Bible says about the responsibilities of the
individual, the body of the church and the government.
Their pretzel logic must take some serious
twisting of God and reality for them to reach the conclusion that God meant
they should engage in a lucrative enterprise that invites in a belief system
that is the antitheses of Christianity and other religious disciplines, eliminates their right to “share the Gospel”,
rejects man’s unalienable rights, has no concept of free will, and whose main
obligation is to force all others into submission to its political laws, veiled
as a religion, or to operate a “charity” as a business, not aided voluntarily
by individuals, but well funded from the government treasury, an authority that
is neither morally or Constitutionally possessed by the central government.
I’m afraid these religious people have it
backwards. They are aiding and abetting subversive operatives within a corrupt
government and the foreign agents of chaos certain aspects of western
governments are using, yes using, to bring about the carnage and fear necessary
to usher in a new governmental system the subversives are ready to implement.
To be clear, that’s overthrowing the
government, no matter how much they soft soap it or tell us it’s for our
protection. These religious
people are infringing on ALL Americans’ rights, aiding and abetting government
lawlessness, subversion and treason, and in the process, destroying their own
rights. They are complicit in the inevitable and calculated destruction of the
people who adhere to this antithetical belief system they are bringing here
too, since these people are pawns, dispensable, easily manipulated pawns, due
to their supremacist beliefs and singularly focused plan “to destroy the west
by our own miserable hands and theirs”.
Because of the
adherents obligation to use deceit to advance their cause and their
self-serving focus, they are, by all appearances, unquestioning about why they
are being allowed to advance. Neither do they appear capable of discerning the
deceit manipulating them. These “refugees” will not win their battle..it won’t
and can’t be allowed by the very people who are using them to secure their own
power. The
blood of the small numbers of forced-adherents who may genuinely want an escape
from the horrors this foreign political system inflicts on them in their native
country will also be on the hands of these volags, as will the the blood of all
Americans and all others who are, and will be, victims of the religious volag’s
“compassion.” Men and women of God? Whom do they really serve? It’s certainly
not the God of the Bible.
There was a time when
atheists and other belief systems in the U.S. understood the importance of the
Christian belief of Natural Law and the freedoms it protected through the Rule
of Law. They supported it, because it protected their right to not be forced
into a state religion or to be persecuted by the force of law a state religion
creates. They were even protective of the fact this country operated under the
Christian philosophy of free will and personal liberty. It was in their best
interest. Many probably still get it to various degrees. However, the “activists”
today are willingly, ignorantly and loudly cutting off their own noses to spite
their faces and are, oddly enough, onboard with bringing in a belief system
that will do it for them, without exception. And now, we have errant Christians
aiding all the subversives, whether they realize it or not.
Maybe these Christians would like to revisit
the scriptures about “the falling away of churches” and what the Bible says
about errant doctrine. Ignorance of
man’s and God’s law is no excuse. Ignorance of evil isn’t either. Good intentions
pave the road to hell when the drivers don’t bother with reading the road map
accurately. Claims of religious motivation will not protect them from the
consequences of their own actions. They
have to decide which is more important, man’s errant judgment about speaking
and knowing the truth or God’s judgment for not knowing or abiding by His
truth.
Sorry for the length,
but this whole “religious” angle from both government and the volags really
annoys me. If I can research original documents and sources to learn the truth,
so can they. Heck, I’ll even save them time by pointing them to official
sources, so they don’t have to sift through thousands and thousands of sources
like I did. They have no excuse for not knowing. They are responsible.

HIAS is responsible for a report that recommended we (RRW and anyone else
in “pockets of resistance” like this one in SC) be subjected to an
investigation by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
