"Fearful lest it be relegated to the position of an isolated sect, Christianity seems to be making frenzied efforts at mimicry in order to escape being devoured by its enemies--a reaction that seems defensive, but is in fact self-destructive. In the hope of saving itself, it seems to be assuming the colors of its environment, but the result is that it loses its identity. . . ."
--Leszek Kolakowski, from Modernity on Endless Trial

Blind to the Truth
“And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the religious teachers which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.”

(John 9:39-41)

Words of Encouragement
“Of course, there are some folks who do not seem to be able to cooperate. Their long suit is criticism – destructive, and not constructive criticism at that. To such I would quote the words of Edmund Burke: 'Applaud us when we run; console us when we fall, cheer us when we recover, but for God’s sake, man, let us pass on!'”

Augusta Exposed - The Shadow Government
The United Nations Association of Maine

Certainly the oddest organization we at The RECORD have encountered so far, and the organization least in keeping with the spirit of Maine and its people, is the United Nations Association of Maine. It is certainly not a grass roots organization, but rather an institution which has as its sole objective to promote the agenda of the UN.

The United Nations Association grew out of the Association of the League of Nations, and was formed in New York to gain public support for the UN. Eleanor Roosevelt promoted the organization on nationwide tours, after she finished her term as a representative to the General Assembly in 1951.

The principle method the United Nations Association of Maine uses to gain public support for the United Nations is by indoctrinating impressionable youth through the annual Maine Model United Nations Conference (MeMUNC), which is sponsored in conjunction with the World Affairs Council. In 2004, over three hundred and fifty Maine high school students from twenty high schools participated. Nor is the activity of the Model United Nation Conferences limited to Maine. It is part of a global effort to indoctrinate youth into the virtues of a one world, global government, and is conducted in high schools throughout the English-speaking world and beyond.

Included on the Board of Directors of the United Nations Association of Maine is Tom Ewell, the Executive Director of the Maine Council of Churches, and an ardent supporter of “gay rights.” Another member of the Board of Directors is Thesil Morlan who is also on the Steering Committee of The World Federalist Institute. Morlan is also a member of the Board of Advisors to the Citizens for Global Solutions, an organization funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Institute. Morlan is also a coordinator for Amnesty International, and reports on human rights abuses in Western Europe.

Closer to home, Sarah Walton, who sits on the Board of Directors of the United Nations Association of Maine was the past President of the League of Women Voters of Maine, and is currently a director of that organization.

And most astonishing of all is the fact that the columnist that the Portland Press Herald uses to put forward Liberal ideas that it wants to showcase – Victoria-Mares Hershey – is also a member of the Board of Directors of the United Nations Association of Maine. Little did the public know!
 

 

Pro-Gay Bias Compromises Study on Discrimination
Pro-Gay Bias Compromises Study on Discrimination

According to a report on the Equality Maine website, a survey will soon be underway to document the extent of discrimination against homosexuals in Maine. But who will conduct the study? None other than the Center for the Prevention of Hate Violence, which operates out of the University of Southern Maine, and is headed by Stephen L. Wessler.

Wessler was a contributor to the campaign of Dale McCormick, a lesbian activist who was elected to the Maine Senate three times in the 1990s, and who is currently Director of the Maine State Housing Authority. Betsy Sweet, McCormick’s former “domestic partner” is currently a consultant to the Center for the Prevention of Hate Violence. Wessler had obtained federal funding under the Clinton administration to set up the so-called “Civil Rights Teams” in the public schools in Maine, and Betsy Sweet wrote the curriculum and training material.

A study on homosexual discrimination which is designed, administered, and interpreted by homosexuals will be about as fair and objective as a Mafia report on organized crime. Some reports of discrimination will of course come out of this study. But if you believe that the reports will be fair and objective, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn we’d like to sell you.

 

 

Prayer of the Unemployed
Lord, I do not ask for houses of steel,
Nor houses built of stone;
But for the exultation to feel
The tug of muscle on bone.

Nor for wealth or men at my commands,
Nor peace when I am through;
I only ask for work for these hands,
Work for these hands to do.

(Raymond Kresensky)
