Christian Pakistani Victims – RescueChristians.org
I have been posting Christian Pakistani Shamim Masih (journalist and
Christian Human Rights activist) for years. Shamim paints a grim picture of the persecution of Christians in Pakistan – It is quite brutal. Here is my SlantRight 2.0 Search Shamim Masih link to read just how thorough he has been. I have posted so many reports that there is a good chance the “Search” will not do justice or you will grow weary in reading the evil horrors Muslims (including so-called peaceful Moderate Muslims) have perpetuated against Christians in Pakistan.
Below I am cross posting scholar-blogger-Counterjihad Writer Raymond Ibrahim’s snapshot of what Christians have endured in Pakistan JUST in the month of October 2015. Seeing Ibrahim validation of Shamim’s reporting I encourage to send whatever amount you can to shore-up any financial Christmas efforts Shamim has accomplished. As far as I know Pakistan does not allow PayPal transactions ergo you will have to contact our Christian brother in Pakistan with his email - shamimpakistan@gmail.com – for instructions OR you can use Western Union sending money with this LINK to a Western Union agent in Islamabad. Include Shamim’s phone - +92-300-642-4560. When I can spare the cash I use Western Union (Full Disclosure: My financial situation has not allowed me to be generous for quite some time, I pray someone whose financial situation is blessed enough to send Shamim any amount.)
The U.S. State Department lists only nine nations as “Countries of Particular Concern” (CPC) — a designation for those nations considered to be the worst violators of religious freedom. These include governments that “engage in or tolerate” systematic, ongoing, and unspeakable violations of religious freedom.
According to many human rights activists, this list is far from complete: “the State Department has seemed unwilling to recognize the grave unspeakable abuses of religious freedom in a number of Muslim-dominated countries that the USCIRF [U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom] considers CPCs: Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria and Tajikistan.”
Accordingly, on October 21, the USCIRF issued a press release calling on “the State Department to further expand its CPC list to reflect the severe violations occurring in other countries, such as Pakistan, which USCIRF has called the worst situation in the world for religious freedom for countries not currently designated by the U.S. government as CPCs.”
To understand why Pakistan was highlighted, consider the following 10 accounts, all of which took place in the month of October — the same month that the U.S. State Department was being urged to include Pakistan and other countries in its list.
On October 23, a deaf, married Christian woman was gang-raped by three Muslim men who broke into her home while her husband was out working. Despite her screams, no one came to help her. Although one man was arrested, rights activists say he will eventually be released. According to Sardar Mushtaq Gill, a Pakistani lawyer and human rights activist, “Often in these cases the police take no action or, worse, side with the rapists. Christian families or witnesses are pressured to withdraw complaints.”
On October 15, eight days before the deaf Christian woman was raped, two Muslim men, both named Muhammad, who had earlier raped two teenage Christian sisters at gunpoint, were acquitted in court. Not only did a key witness change his statement after receiving a bribe, but according to the girls’ father, “The lawyer didn’t fight the case very well and with commitment. Mostly, he stayed absent from the hearings of the case during the proceedings. The lawyer didn’t even participate in the cross-questioning with the culprits in the court. … We face serious life threats from the culprits now, as they are being released from jail.”
A report from October 5 cites three separate incidents in which five young Christian girls were abducted and sexually abused: Two were kidnapped and gang-raped by a group of Muslim men; a 13-year-old Christian girl was kidnapped and raped; and two other Christian girls were abducted and abused by a group of human traffickers who forced them into prostitution.
On October 23, Sonia Bibi, a 20-year-old Christian woman, was set on fire and almost burned to death after she refused to marry a Muslim ex-boyfriend. According to the woman’s testimony, when she turned down his proposal, Latif Ahmed doused her with petrol and set her alight. Burns covered nearly half of her body.
On October 5, Saddique Azam, a Catholic teacher who was appointed headmaster at a primary school in a small village, was beaten and tortured by a group of three Muslim teachers who resented being under the authority of an “infidel.” The Muslims barged into Azam’s office and ordered him to resign. When he refused, they beat him so severely that he needed to be hospitalized.
According to an October 14 report, rights activists are concerned for the life of Asia Bibi, a Christian mother of five who has been on death row since 2010. A Muslim woman, apparently with a personal vendetta against Bibi, had accused her of speaking blasphemy against the prophet of Islam, Muhammad. “She could be killed by any inmate or even a prison guard, so we have to be careful,” said an official. Bibi was put in solitary confinement, where her health has been steadily deteriorating. “She was vomiting blood last month and having difficulty walking.”

An October 23 report titled, “Christians required only as sweepers,” notes that “Christians make up most of the non-Muslim minority in central Punjab and account for 1.5 per cent of the total population. Their representation in sanitation work, however, is above 80 percent.” After noting that Pakistan was named “Land of the Pure” in reference to its Muslim identity (as opposed to that of its largely Hindu neighbor, India), the report adds, “The attitude of forcing Christians into degrading occupations based on their descent continues and owes its existence to this long-entrenched dichotomy of ‘pure’ and ‘impure.'”
An October 19 report tells of a Christian family — a father, mother, and two daughters — who have been on the run since 2006. Their “crime” was that the woman, formerly a Muslim, converted to Christianity and married a Christian man. This prompted threats and attacks from Muslims, including her family:
“Jobless and desperate, they are
unable to meet their own needs, as they continue to be threatened, hounded, and
attacked because they want to live a Christian life and raise their children in
accordance with Christ’s teachings,” notes the report. Due to the stressful
experiences and unsanitary conditions they are forced to hide in, the woman has
miscarried their third child. The father was shot in the leg and run over by a
motorcycle. Even so, “Attempts to file a case against their tormentors have
fallen on deaf police ears.”
On October 7, more than 1,000 Christians gathered in front of the Punjab Assembly to protest an “anti-minority” bill that “denies voting rights to women” and “does not allow religious minorities to elect their own representatives.” Religious minorities argued that an appointed official “cannot do anything” except to “become a puppet in the hand of their party.”
These ten accounts from October alone are a typical sampling of what Christians, who reportedly make up roughly 1% of Pakistan’s population, routinely experience. (Over 96% of Pakistan’s population is Muslim).
Worse, the majority of atrocities, according to human rights activists, never get reported for fear of reprisals. It took five years for the account of a two-year-old toddler, who was savagely raped because her Christian father refused to convert to Islam, to become public. She has undergone five surgeries and still remains disfigured. Her family lives in constant fear and in hiding.
According to human rights activist Sardar Mushtaq Gill, who is involved with many of the above-mentioned cases, “Violence against women and children of religious minorities, the weak and vulnerable, is widespread in Pakistan and is often carried out in silence. These cases and the stories do not come to light and when victims talk about it they are intimidated.”
In light of all this, it is high time for Pakistan to be labeled a “Country of Particular Concern” by the U.S. Department of State. Otherwise, the crucial question persists: Why is it not?

Pseudonymous Conspiracy blogger Tony Newbill sent me a series of news articles that makes a point based on how the Hammond family was railroaded by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for arson wildfires and labeled as Right Wing terrorists by the Obama Administration's Department of Justice (DOJ). Newbill uses the Hammond incident to show government manipulation, societal brainwashing, Left Wing transformation against American values and let me add that Obama continues to thumb his nose at the Original Intent of the U.S. Constitution.
Just as a little background to the BLM persecution of the Hammond family here is a Freedom Outpost excerpt that holds the government accountable unlike the mainstream media going out of its to sing the Obama Administration tune:
This story has been brewing for some time, but not gotten national attention, unlike the Bundy Ranch incident in 2014. The family of Dwight Hammond have come under the tyrannical eye of the federal government and now it appears that both Hammond and his son Steve are being railroaded for something that is a non-criminal act is being played out before their eyes. Word went out to citizen militias this week that the issue is a level 2 alert, meaning that militia members across the country need to be ready to deploy to Oregon to stand against federal tyrants who are seeking to wrongfully imprison two American citizens.
According to an October 7, 2015 press release from the Obama Department of Justice, Dwight Lincoln Hammond, Jr., 73, and his son, Steven Dwight Hammond, 46, both residents of Diamond, Oregon in Harney County, were sentenced to five years in prison by Chief U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken for arsons they committed on federal lands.
The men were charged nearly a decade after the first fire and five years after the second.
…
The jury in Pendleton, Oregon found the Hammonds guilty of the arsons after a two-week trial in June 2012. They were found guilty of arson on lands which they had grazing rights under Hammond Ranches, Inc., but which the unconstitutional Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is supposed to manage. The land is claimed as federal land, in clear violation of the Constitution.
… [U.S. District Judge Michael] Hogan did not believe the men had malicious intent to be labeled as terrorists under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, even though he sentenced them to jail for the time he did.
…
Both men served their sentences and were released. Now, the feds have appealed those sentences and want the mandatory minimum five-year sentence imposed on the men, and so they appealed to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, who agreed with the feds that the judge ruled illegally. However, now they are wanting to label the Hammonds as terrorists under the 1996 law in order to put them back in jail.
…
However, what was not communicated in all of this is that the BLM starts these kinds of fires quite often and it actually benefits the land, though many times the BLM's fires get completely out of control. Second, the fires that were started were not arson.
…
Dwight's wife, Susan, said, "They called and got permission to light the fire… We usually called the interagency fire outfit – a main dispatch – to be sure someone wasn't in the way or that weather wouldn't be a problem."
According to the Bundy Family, they point out that the Hammonds were simply engaging in what is commonly known as prescribed fires.
… The BLM also performs prescribed burns and have let it get out of control many times, but never has it cost any federal agent hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and years of life in prison. The Hammonds prescribed a fire that moved to public land, they extinguished the fire themselves. The courts found that the burn increased vegetation for the following years, and had a positive impact on the land. With no authority or justification to prosecute, eleven years after the fire, federal attorneys have obtained judgment that the Hammonds are terrorists and must be punished severely for their actions."

This BLM fire reportedly killed more than 80 head of cattle. Put ranchers trying to save their cattle in extreme danger, injured other cattle, burnt homes and structures, burnt fences and power poles and threatened the town of Frenchglen.
Ammon Bundy recently spoke out on the injustices and criminal activity of the BLM against the Hammond family.
Bundy claims that there was no due process, something that is specifically supposed to be protected under the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution, and he went on to state that there was a tremendous amount of corruption involved in the sentencing, the re-sentencing and even in the present situation.
Bundy claims that he has confirmed that the Sheriff's Office has been providing information to the FBI on the Hammonds and others, including Bundy and his family. He has also confirmed that the threats that the Hammond family received came from the US Attorney's office. In fact, Bundy said that the threats claimed that if the Hammonds didn't break off communication with Ammon Bundy, they would be detained early and incarcerated in a "less desirable prison."
Bundy then went on to show a video of the BLM starting prescribed fires in July, something that normally doesn't take place at that time as the animals the ranchers care for are usually eating the very grass that the BLM set on fire. However, the video shows that the BLM didn't just burn grass. It killed and injured cattle, burned homes and destroyed other property. The video of land burning by BLM picks up around the 3:10 mark below. … [Blog Editor: The video referenced is from above.]
…
Not only did they start the fires, but as the video shows, there was no one tending to the fires at various times. Not only that, but as ranchers attempted to make a fire break with water trucks and equipment, the BLM agents were building a fire around them! In fact, video captured BLM agents lighting fires within 100 feet of the corrals and those taking the video! Talk about deliberate terrorist acts!
But the BLM won't be held accountable for their actions. No sir. It's the … READ ENTIRETY
This past week, radio show host and former US Marine Pete Santilli and his co-host Debra Jordan were arrested at gunpoint as they prepared for a trip out West to aid and cover the ongoing tyrannical saga involving the Hammonds, a ranching family that the government has targeted as terrorists and is planning to imprison the men of the family in January.
Santilli has been covering the Hammond Ranch family out in Oregon, who in a matter of weeks will be seeing the federal government engage in what amounts to double jeopardy against two men of their family. For a background on the Hammond story, click here, here and here.
In an exclusive interview with Freedom Outpost, Santilli told us that he was arrested last week. In the initial arrest, the policeman, who happens to be the Chief of Police for Newtown, Ohio, Thomas Synan, Jr. claimed the Santilli was impeding traffic, though that seems contradictory to how he put the two radio hosts under arrest, claiming that Santilli's name and his vehicle was on the terror watchlist.
In a recording provided to Freedom Outpost by Santilli, you can hear Police Chief Synan claim that Santilli was impeding traffic by using his phone. Then he claims that Santilli was not wearing his seatbelt. According to Santilli, none of that was true. He had been using his electronic vapor and had merely picked up his cell phone to turn on recording once Sanyn [sic] began to pull him over. … READ THE REST (Former US Marine Put on Terror Watch List, Held At Gunpoint – Was it because he is helping the Oregon Ranchers?

Are all these People like the Hammonds being Shoved or Nudged? There sure seems to be a Pattern across the USA on de-developing the Individual's Liberties don't you think?
Maybe the BLM is a Member of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Team?
IS THE INDIVIDUAL BEING SHOVED OUT OF BUSINESS SO A COLLECTIVE CAN FORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One morning in August, the social science reporter for National Public Radio, a man named Shankar Vedantam, sounded a little shellshocked. You couldn't blame him.
…
Over 270 researchers, working as the Reproducibility Project, had gathered 100 studies from three of the most prestigious journals in the field of social psychology. Then they set about to redo the experiments and see if they could get the same results. Mostly they used the materials and methods the original researchers had used. Direct replications are seldom attempted in the social sciences, even though the ability to repeat an experiment and get the same findings is supposed to be a cornerstone of scientific knowledge. It's the way to separate real information from flukes and anomalies.
…
The researchers, Vedantam glumly told his NPR audience, "found something very disappointing. Nearly two-thirds of the experiments did not replicate, meaning that scientists repeated these studies but could not obtain the results that were found by the original research team."
"Disappointing" is Vedantam's word, and it was commonly heard that morning and over the following several days, as the full impact of the project's findings began to register in the world of social science. Describing the Reproducibility Project's report, other social psychologists, bloggers, and science writers tried out "alarming," "shocking," "devastating," and "depressing."
But in the end most of them rallied. They settled for just "surprised." Everybody was surprised that two out of three experiments in behavioral psychology have a fair chance of being worthless.
The most surprising thing about the Reproducibility Project, however—the most alarming, shocking, devastating, and depressing thing—is that anybody at all was surprised. The warning bells about the feebleness of behavioral science have been clanging for many years.
THINK POSITIVE
For one thing, the "reproducibility crisis" is not unique to the social sciences, and it shouldn't be a surprise it would touch social psychology too. The widespread failure to replicate findings has afflicted physics, chemistry, geology, and other real sciences. Ten years ago a Stanford researcher named John Ioannidis published a paper called "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False."
"For most study designs and settings," Ioannidis wrote, "it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true." He used medical research as an example, and since then most systematic efforts at replication in his field have borne him out. His main criticism involved the misuse of statistics: He pointed out that … READ ENTIRETY (Making It All Up:The behavioral sciences scandal; By ANDREW FERGUSON; Weekly Standard; 10/19/15)
There Is A New Executive Order You Really Need to Know About
Government agencies are preparing to collect more data on us thanks to a new executive order. They will use the data to "tweak" messaging and "nudge" the populace. They will use it to experiment on us.
Barack Obama issued an executive order Tuesday titled, Executive Order — Using Behavioral Science Insights to Better Serve the American People. Don't be fooled by the "to better serve the American people" part. He has authorized experiments on the American public.
The first paragraph of the order says: A growing body of evidence demonstrates that behavioral science insights — research findings from fields such as behavioral economics and psychology about how people make decisions and act on them — can be used to design government policies to better serve the American people.
They say they are going to use the psychology and behavioral science to create policies that serve the American people. They are also going to develop strategies with it to message Americans on issues the government has taken on.
Government agencies will be encouraged to collect and preserve data on everyday Americans to use for their scientific research.
Barack Obama is already maintaining massive databases on every American, many of them by race.
Theuse of behavioral sciences by government agencies could lead to manipulation of the masses with government propaganda. We have already seen a number of warning signs.
The new HUD mandate, for one, is being encouraged with commercials.
The mandate is officially billed as the Affirmatively Affirming Fair Housing (AFFH) rule and it was finalized this week. It requires communities that take any federal grants to identify and eliminate deviations from mandated demographic and socioeconomic ratios and quotas.

OBAMA DECREE UNLEASHES "BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE" SQUAD TO "NUDGE" YOU~SOCIALIST PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS, BRAINWASHING, MIND MANIPULATION, "FOR THE GREATER GOOD"
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
Prepare to be "nudged" by Obama's new "behavioral science" squads — for your own good, of course. Under the guise of better "serving" the American people through government, Obama signed an executive order this week calling for federal agencies and departments to deploy emerging "behavioral science" techniques against the public.
Among other goals, the expansion of federal mind manipulation is supposed to help more Americans access government welfare programs, take their "recommended" vaccines, supply more information about themselves to the federal government, and accelerate the transition toward what Obama called "a low-carbon economy." The controversial decree, signed on September 15, explicitly seeks to use "behavioral science" to prod Americans — or "nudge" them, as Obama's "regulatory czar" Cass Sunstein put it — into making "choices" that the White House considers desirable.
Obama celebrated his plan to manipulate the minds of Americans as a means to advance a dizzying array of his controversial agendas to fundamentally transform America. "Adopting the insights of behavioral science will help bring our government into the 21st century in a wide range of ways — from …
The plan to more effectively use psychological manipulation against the public will be led by none other than John Holdren, Obama's forced abortion-touting "science czar," who formerly embraced global-cooling alarmism and predicted a billion deaths from a new ice age caused by human activity. Currently embroiled in multiple scandals and lawsuits surrounding his potentially unlawful use of a private e-mail account for official business and his statements blaming "global warming" for record cold, Holdren has perhaps one of the most troubling backgrounds of any top White House official. In his 1977 book Ecoscience, for instance, Holdren and his cohorts proposed drugging the food and water supply with sterilizing agents and creating a "planetary regime" with an armed force to control resources and the abortions and medical sterilization to deal with alleged overpopulation, and much more. Now he runs Obama's White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, as well as the newly unveiled Social and Behavioral Sciences Team.
The first public information on Obama's plan to use psychological operations to manipulate the American people came in 2013, when a document outlining the White House's plans to create a "Behavioral Insights Team" and engage in "behavioral interventions" surfaced. The paper made clear that the purpose of manipulating the public was to "nudge" the U.S. population into thinking and behaving in ways that Obama officials deem best … READ ENTIRETY [Blog Editor Warning: My McAfee software warned of possible site problems.

ISIS is marching across huge swaths of land in the Middle East, crucifying, beheading and burning alive untold numbers of human beings, and making direct threats against the United States.
But the Department of Homeland Security is making sure the government doesn't take its eye off the real enemy – right-wingers.
A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists.
The report cites "24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010," or as ISIS calls it, "a slow Tuesday morning."
Without naming names, or citing any sources, CNN declares:
Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to — and in some cases greater than — the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.
While anyone committing crimes is an issue law enforcement should be concerned with, the threat from lunatic fringe "sovereign citizens" — people who reject government — pales in comparison to an organized and well-financed group of jihadi terrorists excited at the prospect of their own death in the course of killing "infidels."

For 50 years the environmental movement has unsuccessfully argued that we should save the planet for moral reasons, that there were more important things than money. Ironically, it now seems it will be money -- through the economic impact of climate change and resource constraint -- that will motivate the sweeping changes necessary to avert catastrophe.
The reason is we have now reached a moment where four words -- the earth is full -- will define our times.

Earth's Population Limit Exceeded, White House Adviser Says
Nina Fedoroff, science and technology adviser to Condoleezza Rice in the last administration and now to Hillary Clinton, tells the BBC that humans have exceeded the Earth's "limits of sustainability."
"We need to continue to decrease the growth rate of the global population; the planet can't support many more people," Fedoroff said. Meanwhile, we need to manage water and wild land better, she said.
Sustainable Aotearoa NZ (SANZ) is a non-governmental organisation committed to educating society on the new ways of living we need to adopt in the face of climate change, resource depletion, rising oil costs, world over-population and permanent global recession. These events are now upon us.
Our vision is to see the transformation of society as a result of these unavoidable factors into connected, global communities that live harmoniously within earth's limits.
During remarks that she made for the 15th Anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the launch of a new program that according to Clinton will now become the centerpiece of U.S. foreign policy. This new program is known as the Global Health Initiative, and it is being incredibly well-funded at a time when the U.S. government is drowning in debt. According to Clinton, 63 billion dollars will be spent by the U.S. to prevent pregnancies and to improve "family planning" services around the globe over the next six years. In other words, the new centerpiece of U.S. foreign policy is all about eugenics and population control.

And to make us dependent on Government and let the debt consume the free make system of capitalism here's how they did it:

As the "science czar", Holdren deals with a wide range of issues, including health care and global warming.
In a book he co-authored in 1973 with Paul and Anne Ehrlich, he wrote, "A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States".
"De-development means bringing our economic system (especially patterns of consumption) into line with the realities of ecology and the global resource situation," they wrote in Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions.

In 1995, Holdren, Paul Ehrlich and Gretchen Daily of Stanford University declared that we all needed to "face up" to "a world of zero net physical growth" that requires people consume less.
The three wrote an essay entitled, "The Meaning of Sustainability" in which they announced, "We know for certain, for example, that: No form of material growth (including population growth) other than asymptotic growth is sustainable."
