The Wizards of Babylon!

 This short article was written by David Redding, our excellent attorney, who represented me during this latest illegal attempt by the city of Charlotte and the abortion industry to censor the Gospel of Christ from the streets of Charlotte.  God raised David up for such a time as this.  You will be amazed, as was I, at his Spiritual insight into what was happening in the courtroom this past Friday, August 10, 2012.

This is loaded with Truth.  Enjoy!    ~ Flip

Aye Brother, thank you for the encouragement. 

I was explaining (or trying to) to Marjorie what happened in court yesterday and I showed her the governing statute. She said, “well, it’s obvious.” Of course it was. Your rights were not preserved. The judge and the prosecutor did not follow the law, which requires specific conditions and written warnings of the consequences of their violation to be given to you. None of that happened. Truly, you did not know the rules you were accused of breaking. That is why that statute was drawn up. And yet, that judge sat there for five minutes trying to find a way around it before he begrudgingly conceded that he was bound by the law. His pronouncement of same was mean-spirited and churlish, implying that you had skated by on a technicality. Even when I was an atheist (or a theist or whatever demonic thing cold hearted thing I was before I knew Christ) I didn’t like injustice and unequal scales, but here was a judge, prosecutor, two cops and some seemingly Nice Lady from the Peninsula who wanted you in jail despite the fact that you were treated unequally under the law. Their coldness was difficult for me to fathom. It felt dark in that courtroom to me. 

We are in Ephesians 4 in my Friday Bible Study, and that morning (before the hearing) I led the discussion about Paul’s description of the Gentiles former selves–the ignorance, darkness, hard-heartedness and insensitivity of a people separated from God, whose lives have been given over to sensuality. A people consumed by greed. Paul’s implication is one of sexual idolatry, but of course it could be any sensual thing over which the Gentiles had passed themselves. 
 
It occurred to me this morning that Paul’s description (perhaps, I know it is not mine to judge) was applicable to the judge et. als. They have given themselves over to a progressive worldview that has hardened their hearts such that they cannot see the irony in the things they say and do. The prosecutor who would see you incarcerated for advocating on behalf of the unborn herself was at least 5 months pregnant. The Nice Lady testified that it saddened her to see “children” handing out wanted posters was oblivious to the plight of the children destroyed by men whose faces appeared upon them. The Cornelius police officer who testified that his town’s entire police force was deployed as a “show of force” when notified about the Peninsula protest could not say why he was ordered to do so. Finally, the judge–the man charged with upholding the law exuded bitterness that it restrained him (just barely) from incarcerating you for exercising your right of free speech, a right so important that our founders enshrined it as the First Amendment to our constitution. 

The Truth is a powerful and scary thing Brother. It cuts to the quick. The opposition I encounter to it rarely, almost never, comes in the form of a counter-argument–which is what you would expect from those who think the Truth as I see it is not so. In other words, if those things that comprise our worldview are not Truth, than one would expect a substantive argument from those in opposition. But rarely if ever is that so. What I encounter in opposition to Truth is generally a demand for silence. That is the best that the opposition can garner when faced with the Truth. Shut up. Be silent. And that is what these cold-hearted people wanted of you in court yesterday. They do not care about your right to speak (and by implication their own right to speak), they just want you to stop speaking because, having no counter-argument to the Truth they risk conviction by it–and then what?

Thus, the charade that your speech, just your words and the volume at which you say them, is a crime. To them, there is no crime in the legalized homicide of a human being with the bad timing to be drawing breath within rather than without the womb. But to question it? To declare publicly that despite abortion’s transient legality it is nonetheless a moral outrage (the precise thing the abolitionists argued in regard to slavery)–that, to them, is a crime so foul that at least two lawyers (judge and prosecutor) were more than willing to disregard the law yesterday, despite having sworn before God that they would uphold it. 

It saddens me to say so, but I believe that this charade will never stop as long as there are hearts of stone that seek to resist the Truth by silencing it. Like the Wizards of Babylon they will search for any transgression upon which to hoist you and, finding none, they will fabricate one–if need be. For now, they have the power of the state at their disposal. For now. But we have the Truth. Which do you believe more powerful? 

Aye.

Benham a free man after judge rules not to revoke bond

 

Benham a free man after judge rules not to revoke bond

 

By: McKinsey Harris, Charlotte News 14

 

CHARLOTTE – Pro-life activist Flip Benham remains a free man after a judge ruled to not revoke his bond on Friday.

In 2010, Benham was charged and later convicted of stalking a Charlotte-area doctor. He’s currently awaiting the results of his appeals hearing and is out on post-conviction release. On Friday, he arrived at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse ready to be locked up.

“That’s fine with me. The venue of the ministry just changes and I’m in jail, but it’s the same ministry and I’m just thankful for that,” said Benham.

The prosecution claimed he violated the conditions of that post-conviction release.

“I never violated the court order. I have obeyed the court orders all the way through. They are saying there were people in Dr. _____ neighborhood, that Cornelius neighborhood, that went out and passed out brochures. I never went there. I had nothing to do with that, however, they were there,” said Benham.

Dr. _____ admits he saw an “Adopt an Abortionist” poster, with his picture on it. He also testified he heard Benham tell a group of people following the appeals hearing, “Let’s try to bring Dr. _____ back to God and stop killing babies.”

The judge, however, ruled for Benham after it was determined he never received a written order.

“He didn’t have that in the order. In fact, he didn’t have the order at all telling him what he could and couldn’t do. But the restriction of distributing posters, that wasn’t in the order anyway, so had he had the order, he still wouldn’t have known not to do it because it didn’t say that,” said defense attorney David Redding.

Benham left the courthouse a free man. He says instead of from jail, he’ll continue spreading God’s words in the streets of Charlotte, for now.

“Sometimes when you keep the law of God, you’re going to end up in jail. It’s just the way it is, and for us not to go out to abortion mills and not to do certain things would be a crime on my part, knowing what I know, to not continue to do it, no matter the cost,” said Benham.

Assistant District Attorney Kristen Northrup responded to this outcome by saying, “While we understand the judge’s decision, we are disappointed with the outcome.”

The Lord’s Freeman!

Bless the Lord! Brother Flip was prepared to become the Lord’s prisoner, but in God’s mercy, he remains the Lord’s freeman. Though the judge, the abortionists, security, police, and pro-aborts were lined up to press hard to lower the gavel and send Flip to jail, the Supreme Judge demanded they let him go.

As God would have it, Flip has been able to use this case as a platform to continue to hammer the injustice of the abortion industry, the DNC, and racist rant of Charlotte abortionist, Ron Virmani.

Clearly, what the enemy meant for harm, God has turned to the good. Praise his Holy Name! Thanks for all who prayed. We are seeing strange things happening in these days. Thank you Lord!

PRESS RELEASE: Charlotte Attempts to Silence Christians Before DNC – To Stop Viral Video!

Press Release

9 August, 2012

For Immediate Release:

Charlotte Attempts to Silence Christians Before DNC – To Stop Viral Video!

Charlotte, North Carolina:  Operation Save America (OSA) has been lifting up the banner of Christ at abortion mills in the city of Charlotte for years.  On July 21-28, 2012, OSA brought pro-life leaders from across the country to Charlotte to shine the light and draw battle lines between the culture of death and the culture of life by confronting the Democratic National Convention (DNC) with the claims of Christ.  

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”  Ephesians 5:11.

A video taken during a visit to the home of abortionist Ron Virmani where he called the children he murdered, “those ugly black babies,” went viral on the web.  It exposed the hatred and racism that exists at the root of the hideous lie of abortion. 

Watch the video HERE.

The DNC does not want the black community to see the racist roots of its “death agenda.”  Nor does it want it known that abortionist Virmani is a staunch Democrat.   

Mere days after the OSA event, Rev Flip Benham, director of Operation Save America, was summoned to appear before the Superior Court of Mecklenburg County for the revoking of his bond.  Benham was on bond while his case was being appealed for “stalking.”  The spurious charge of “stalking” is the new way the city of Charlotte and the abortion industry have found to remove the Gospel of Christ from the streets. 

The city of Charlotte continues its attempt to cleanse its streets of vile Christianity and put on its prettiest face for the arrival of the (DNC) this September 3-6, 2012.  To do this it must remove some of the Christian riff-raff that stand in contra-distinction to all that the DNC holds dear – like abortion, euthanasia, homosexual sodomy, and any religion but Christianity. 

What:         Revocation of Bond Hearing For Rev. Benham                  

Where:      Mecklenburg Superior Court #5170, Charlotte, North Carolina

When:        11:00 AM, August 10, 2012

Contact:   Dr. Pat McEwen (321) 431 3962

Ron Virmani – a Staunch Democrat

No wonder abortionist Ron Vermani hates “ugly black babies” and does not want to support them on the tax rolls – he is a Democrat.  That’s Right!  He doesn’t want the government to force him to pay taxes to bring “ugly black babies” into the world, but he sure does demand that we all are forced to pay taxes to take babies (of all colors) out of this world.  Universal Health Care anyone?  The Democrats are indeed the culture of death.  Murder for the Democrats has become the answer for everything:

 Overpopulated? – Kill (abortion) babies!

Getting too old? – Kill (euthanasia) the old!

Down Syndrome? – Find them (amniocentesis) then Kill them in the womb!

 You get the idea.  God put it this way: “… all who hate me love death.”  Proverbs 8:36.

From 10,000 Hits to over 80,000 Hits In One Day!

God is doing more than we could have ever imagined in exposing the diabolical and hideous nature of the abortion industry in America.  This little 38 second video of our visit with abortionist Ron Virmani will dispel the myth of the kind, brave, and selfless abortionist just seeking to help women.  Mr. Virmani could care less about anybody but himself.  He is an angry, hate driven man.      ~ Flip

 

A Prayer lifted up to the Lord

On the long ride home from North Carolina to Waco, TX, I kept praying that the Lord would set in motion something of significance by our participation at our national event. Well, God did exceedingly, abundantly, above all we could ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

At one of our outreaches at an abortionist’s home, a video was recorded that captured the heart and worldview of a notorious child-killer, who operates his grisly trade at A Preferred Women’s Health Center, 3220 Latrobe Dr. Charlotte, NC 28211.

Jesus stated, “for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh” (Luke 6:45b). This truth has come to pass in abortionist Ron Virmani’s life. What was in this man’s heart flowed from his lips revealing the dark, demonic mentality that runs rampant throughout the abortion industry.

 A team of brave, Christian pro-lifers lead by Mark Gabriel and Pastor Dale Sochia showed up at Virmani’s neighborhood and home to plead with him to repent of his sins and crimes and turn to Jesus for the salvation of his soul. What transpired has gone viral. Pro-life, Christian, and secular news outlets and blogs have reported on this incidence and are showing the video. The following is just a sample of the many articles that have been written. May the Lord continue to use this video to expose the hidden works of darkness and set the captive free in Jesus’ name!

 Shocking: Abortionist Tells Pro-Life Group ‘Let Me See You Adopt One of Those Ugly Black Babies’

 A horrifying video released by Operation Save America (OSA) sheds light on one abortionist’s views of his profession, and contrary to what many pro-choice activists would have you believe, the man does not seem to be in it to help “family planning.”

Confronted by a group of pro-life activists, North Carolina abortionist Ron Virmani launched into a rant about not burdening the taxpayers.

At first, one would think he is referring to burdening the taxpayers with the cost of the abortion, but it soon becomes clear he sees the children themselves as the burden.

“I as a taxpayer do not wish for those babies to be born, and brought up, and kill those people in Colorado,” he says.

When the activists wearing “Jesus” shirts insist they still want the babies to be born, the man responds: “Let me see you adopt one of those ugly black babies.”

Watch the horrifying video.

 OSA’s website notes that the doctor seemingly felt he was solving several of society’s “problems” in his line of work. They write:

“His solution to crime in America, is to kill babies. His solution to welfare in America, is to kill babies. His solution to rising taxes in America, is to kill babies. His solution to stanch the flow of bitterness that fills his heart, is to kill babies. Murder is his answer to everything.”

Furthermore, they note, Virmani repeatedly refers to the unborn as “babies,” not “blobs of tissue” or “fetuses,” invalidating the left’s argument that abortion is not murder.

 LifeNews adds that Virmani is hardly the first “pro-choice” activist with a perverse infatuation for eugenics. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, publicly stated in 1920: “birth control is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit [and] of preventing the birth of defectives.”

 Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union, responded: “Excuse me? It’s all too obvious that he has a particular disgust for black babies and therefore has no problems killing them.”

 Gardner continued: “The black community should be outraged because Ashutosh Virmani is a brazen racist and his statement supports what we already know of the billion dollar abortion industry-black babies are targeted because they are seen as poor, worthless and maybe even ‘ugly.'”

 Blessings to you all,

 Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas

Well the devil is reeling from the truth exposing him. As of yesterday this video had about 1,600 hits on youtube in regards to abortionist Ron Virmani. But as of this morning that number has jumped to over 80,000!  Not only this, it has been picked up by countless news and blogs such as, www.Lifenews.com www.TheBlaze.com www.LifeSiteNews.com, anyway it is catching fire.

The devil overplayed his hand, he thought he could win with a “Flush” (poker hand), but little did he know there is a hand called “The Royal Flush” and His name is Jesus! This man has spoken what most abortionist really think going all the way back to Margret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. Upon googling his name there are several pages of different sites that have picked this story up and have embedded the video.  May the Lord expose the true ugliness of abortion, America’s Holocaust.

Abortionist Virmani Gives Reason Why He Doesn’t Deliver Pretty Babies

Abortionist Ron Virmani gave me a handful of flyers a couple of months ago and wanted me to distribute them to all of the folks that help moms and dads choose life at the abortion mill (A Preferred Women’s Health Clinic) in Charlotte.  He wanted us all to know why he does what he does.  He even gave us his phone number.  The website that he wants everyone to visit is www.phcracism.com.  He is attempting to justify the unjustifiable.

He is crying out for Christ.  Brothers and sisters, Ron Virmani is lost, enraged, and desperately needing the forgiveness that only Jesus can give.  Please begin a concerted effort to pray for this poor lost soul.  We were, all of us, here at one time.  Look what the Lord has done!  Let’s pray that He will do it again for Ron.

In Christian love,

Flip

38 Second Video Clip of Abortionist Vermani Going Viral

 This video is really beginning to gain some traction.  What is really unbelievable is the rancorous comments it is generating.  By in large, they are awful, racist, and diabolical.  I don’t even think this way. My mind cannot wrap itself around the utter hatred this world has for children in the womb.  If you are wondering what has happened to America, you need only look at the comments section of this video to see what it must have been like in Sodom and Gomorrah before the fire of God’s judgment fell. ~ Flip

Pastor Dale Sochia, the one who is standing closest to abortionist Ron Vermani in the video clip, has written this small introduction:

As many of you might have seen this video.  This is the short 38 sec clip with the words typed in.  Since yesterday it has been picked up by some Christian News organizations.  It now has over 10,000 hits and growing rapidly.  Please watch again and forward to any you might feel could use this information.  The devil has overplayed his hand, and we have truly exposed what abortionist really think in their dark hearts.  Tragedy.
