It is said that life imitates art. But today, we are looking at life, imitating life. If you pay attention, media and culture will tell you what is going on in the world. Several years ago, an American comedian and ventriloquist introduced the world to Achmed the Dead Terrorist. While most of Jeff Dunham’s acts would offend many Christians, his depiction of this “skeletal corpse of an incompetent bomber” gave us a reason to laugh at the insanity of terrorism throughout the world. His bad impersonation of a middle-eastern voice, has caused even many from that region, flock to see him. Achmed is very funny, and when someone says something he doesn’t like, or they laugh at something that is said about him, he yells ‘Silence, I keel you’ and stares them down with his huge eyes, set in sockets of bone. Looking around at the huge audiences, roaring in laughter, he acts as if he has accomplished his goal of verbally terrorizing them. It was and is hilarious, until now. As Americans, for the most part we have always felt we had a voice. We felt we had true ‘freedom of speech.’ Until now….. To address this fully, we cannot start with where we are, but where we have come from. Winston Churchill said “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” And that my friends is where we are. Repeating history. Much of the worlds past of dictatorships, socialism, and totalitarianism has been removed from American schools and the current youthful leadership of this country, for the most part, is totally unaware of the price that was paid and the precious gift of having differing beliefs and true freedom of speech. A current congresswoman, who is known for her support of the violence and riots throughout the summer, and also well-known for her ignorance of just everything American in general, recently stated that a couple of our senators as well as all conservative Christians, need to be removed from office and reprogrammed to come into line with the leftist, socialistic belief systems. Recently we watched Social Media silence the President, Main Stream Media refuse to air his speeches, Journalists cut conservative voices off in mid-sentence, and changing the narrative to fit their leftist agenda. Individuals were given a sentence of social media jail, when they posted something their 'factcheckers' deemed false or innappropriate, only to find out the checkers were being paid by leftists to block the voices. Other avenues popped up and were soon blocked by big tech to promote the belief system that the conservatives were crazy and promoting hate. All while major cities were being burned and destroyed by fascist systems and false accusations of racism. This is the antithesis of free speech. Again, where does of this idiocy start? With the womb. When you do not value human life at its most innocent and vulnerable, you will not value it throughout life. You will not value its voice, its purpose, its right to live and achieve, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In 2016, Canada passed laws for physician assisted euthanasia. These laws were designed for those who were in the ‘process of dying.’ I do not have the space here to go into all of the details, but it was considered a merciful act. Now they are looking to expand the law to include those with debilitating illnesses who want to end their lives. So now, we see an entire governmental system with no value for human life, or for God’s sovreign right to begin or to end life. If someone does not value life in the womb, they begin to devalue end of life. Then they have crossed a line in their psyche that causes them to lessen the value of life overall and its value in society. Silence, I keel you! Just like Achmed. Psalm 139:13 You formed my inward parts, You wove me in my mother’s womb. God creates each one of us. From the moment of conception, cells multiply and grow with God given purpose. Within a short time, a heart starts beating with every right a life should have. To truly believe that a life has no right to live out its purpose or voice, is akin to terrorism. On January 27th, the world honored National Holocaust Remembrance Day with hashtags of #neveragain. But it isn’t a huge leap from what Hitler believed to what we are facing today. He believed that Jews had no right to live, he believed no people of color had a right to live, he only believed his ‘race’ or those with his belief system should live. This led to millions being murdered and silenced forever. Silence, I kill you! How have we gotten here? How have we moved into a belief system in America that truly works to take away our right to have a voice, a life, an opinion, a purpose? How has this socialist system permeated so deeply that many in our halls of government believe that those who do not agree with them have no right to speak or stand on their belief systems. All because they do not value life at its most vulnerable and innocent. When my own dad was dying, I had the absolute honor of being with him. It wasn't pretty in the natural, but being able to hold his hand and tell him how much I loved an honored him as he passed, we absolutely glorious and something I never regret. To chemically end his life because he was suffering would have stolen that precious moment with him. I’m not sure how to turn this around, but I know that God can. It takes God invading their hearts and minds, showing and revealing truth. It takes prayers, and courage to stand up for truth. It takes wisdom to show the insidious plan to devalue our children in the education system by introducing the innocent ones to heinous thinking. It takes godly government officials and community leaders to stand and say ‘not on my watch.’ It takes us all, standing up and looking at the evil and declaring “Silence, I kill you.
