Will you stand against the Christian Holocaust?

April 09, 2015

WRITER

The Islamic State and other factions of psychotic Islam have targeted Coptic Christians in the Middle East. In fact, it was estimated over 4,000 Coptic Christians were murdered in the region last year. But it's a story you rarely hear on the mainstream media, and Barack Obama and his administration have done everything in their power to strip away any connections between Islam and these insane acts of violence. On TV last night, Glenn asked why more Christians here in America aren't standing up against this horror.

Below is a transcript of this segment:

When Pope Francis comes out and he talks about gay marriage or redistribution of wealth, everybody all around the world, it is headlines, front page, media is all over it, but when he comes out and condemns the complicit silence about the killing of Christians all around the globe as he did on Good Friday, it’s deafening silence.

I seem to remember a promise we made to each other. We seemed to make a promise we would never let the world fall into this darkness again; we would never let a Holocaust happen again, and yet here we sit, willfully blinded, even indifferent, as Christians continue to be slaughtered by radical Islamic monsters. The latest came last Thursday when students at a Kenyan university were finishing up classes and preparing for the holiday weekend. It was just like any other day until radical Islamist terrorists stormed into the campus and proceeded to unleash a violent, ruthless assault that lasted 13 hours and left 147 dead. Many are still missing and unaccounted for.

This is the worst attack since the bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi back in 1998. They went room by room. They grabbed the students and then began to interrogate about religion. If you were Christian, you were shot on the spot. Many were decapitated. According to witnesses, any student attending the morning prayers at mosque were not attacked.

The terror group responsible, al-Shabaab, they took responsibility for what they called an operation against infidels. “We sorted people out and released the Muslims. There are many dead bodies of Christians inside the building. We are also holding many Christians alive.”

Imagine being a father, your child or your daughter is off at college, and you hear about this attack. You know that your daughter is at that college. The daughter called in the morning in a panic during the attack. Later in the day, the parents’ phone rang again. It was a man on the other end. He demanded that he talk to the Kenyan president within two minutes. The family said we don’t have access to the Kenyan president; we can’t put him on the phone. He said, “I’m going to kill your daughter.” They heard gunshots over the phone. The man said, “She is now with her God,” and dropped the phone to the floor.

In February, 22 Egyptian Coptic Christians were beheaded by ISIS. We’ve shown you this video many times. The intentional move to strip away any mention of Islamic when talking about the extremists, the psychos, the terrorists, makes identifying and defeating the enemy even more difficult. President Obama didn’t even identify the victims’ Christianity when they were beheaded by ISIS on the beach merely for being Christians. By doing so, it keeps the motive for the violence hidden.

According to Open Doors, 4,344 Christians have been killed for faith-related reasons between December 1 and November 30 of last year. That’s double from the previous year. That number is much likely much higher because the group only counts victims who they can identify by name and an exact cause of death can be determined.

Christians have also routinely been targeted in Iraq and Syria. ISIS has become genocidal. They had a march in Iraq’s Nineveh plain last August. Then they moved to Khaybar. They executed and exiled religious minorities like the Yazidis while we did nothing. They destroyed Assyrian artifacts in Iraq while we did nothing. They blew up an 80-year-old Assyrian church on Easter while we did nothing. Christians are being driven from the Middle East in what some have called the new Exodus.

Part of the problem leading to the increased persecution is the fact that Christianity has spread. Kenya is now 82% Christian. Kenya has been repeatedly attacked by al-Shabaab terrorists. We just talked about the university attack. Before that it was the 2013 mall attack where they lined the Christians up, demanded they quote verses from the Koran. Anyone who could was let go; anyone who couldn’t, murdered. Before that it was the 2012 attack on churches during Sunday services—families with their children.

Our world leaders—sorry, calling them that is laughable. Our world leaders are anything but leaders, and they can sanitize the language all they want, but it is psychotic Islam that is causing this. The radicals are not mincing words. This is a religious war for them. This is the beginning of a Christian genocide for them, and it is getting worse. After they’re done with the Christians, they will go to the Jews and the Muslims.

In Egypt, Coptic Christians building a church in honor of those beheaded by ISIS were attacked late at night with Molotov cocktails. They set cars on fire. Stones and bricks were thrown. After meeting with an organizing group, something organized by the local governor, it was decided that the location of the church would be moved.

Last month, ISIS went door to door in Libya searching for Coptic Christians, Christians among a compound housing day laborers. Put yourself in this man’s position. He’s a day laborer. There’s a knock on his door. He opens it at night. He has the horrifying realization of who is standing on the other side of his threshold, and they asked if he and his roommate were Christians. He only had a split second to think. He lied. He said, “No, I Muslim.” They asked if any of the rooms had any Christians in it. He lied again. He and his three friends survived, but thirteen others were taken away. Later they were beheaded on a beach as part of the propaganda video.

Coptic Christians, they are the largest Christian denomination in Egypt and part of the largest Christian community in the Middle East, but they are a minority of the entire population, accounting for only 10%. So you know, a lot of people will say, “What is a Coptic Christian? I don’t know what it means.” Copt comes from the Greek word meaning Egyptian, so all Egyptians at one point were Copts, but over time and several Muslim conquests, they began using Coptic or Copt as a derogatory term to refer to anyone who didn’t convert to Islam.

Remember, Egypt at one time was a Christian nation. Not anymore, and there are not going to be any Christians left in the entire Middle East unless somebody does something. This scene has played out over and over again. It’s played out before. In the upcoming episode of The Root, we are going to chronicle the history of Christian persecution that took place over the last 100 years in the Middle East.

Few recognize it in full context, but when you see it, you will understand what is motivating these extremists, and it’s not American foreign policy. It’s not even our culture. It’s a religious war, and amazingly world leaders are turning a blind eye. The pope admonished, but because he wasn’t talking about redistribution of wealth, no one seemed to listen.

I’ve been talking about this for so long that I can’t imagine why you even watch or listen anymore. It sounds crazy to say it. To Jewish people, it’s offensive to say this is a Christian Holocaust. That word is reserved for a special place, and I understand that, but we better start telling each other the truth. What is coming is a Christian Holocaust. It appears we have forgotten the promise never again.

It’s why Jews are coming up to me now saying, “Please, talk about the Christians.” It’s why we’re seeing more and more citizens, people just like you, pack up and go to the Middle East—not to fight for ISIS, but to fight for the other side, to protect the Christians. We had a guy on the program named Matthew VanDyke. He’s trying to train Iraqis and Syrians to defend themselves against ISIS because we’re not doing any of it.

TheBlaze today has an amazing story, an exclusive video, featuring a group of American volunteers fighting with the Kurdish Peshmerga against ISIS. It is absolutely breathtaking video as snipers have them pinned down, and you hear the bullets whizzing by. One volunteer gets hit in the leg as they retreat. It’s an incredible story and an incredible video.

Why is this happening? Because we no longer as a country—and if I may, we no longer as Christians even stand for anything. The people who do realize what is happening in the world are sick and tired of inaction, so they’re literally doing it themselves. I don’t know if that’s a good idea or a bad idea. They have more bravery than I do.

Another amazing story, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit is also taking action. They’re dedicating their efforts to helping girls and children who have escaped the horrors of ISIS in Iraq. You know what pisses me off? How people just spend their time prattling on about a war on women because of birth control. ISIS is ground zero for a war on women—rape, torture, selling into sex slavery. These are people and families just like yours, and the only reason why they’re being sold into sex slavery and being broken up as families and beheaded is because they are Christian.

We promised never again. Isn’t it time we put up or shut up? And I mean as people. We as people failed to listen to people like George Clooney on the Sudan. We wanted to make it about politics. And I’m not saying us, per se. I asked George Clooney. I remember being in the radio studio a few years back, and I asked George Clooney. I said, “Please, let’s partner with this, because I care just as much as you do.” It never happened because people want to play politics. Let’s not. What do you say let’s not?

Our politicians have failed to publicly denounce the Armenian genocide. It’s the 100th anniversary this month. That is really, really important. Why? You’ll understand when we show you The Root. We’re doing a special on the anniversary of the Armenian genocide, and we hope the world will finally see what the truth really is and why that was important, why it’s important today to recognize what the Turks did to the Christians and the Armenians.

I don’t know what we’re building towards. I do, I think. I don’t even want to say it out loud. This is not separate from my trip to Auschwitz. I feel it in my bones. This is not separate from me telling my children four, five years ago we have to educate ourselves; we have to know who we are; we have to decide to become the Righteous Among the Nations before it begins to happen. I hoped that that would all go away, but I don’t think it’s going to.

I was on Facebook last night because I posted some video, and there’s an update on that video that I posted last night—horrible, horrible stuff. I said, “When are Christians going to wake up?” Somebody said, “What do we do?” I said, “Here’s what you do, you go to your pastors and your priests and your rabbis, and you ask them (A) is there a Coptic Christian church in our area? (B) Can we reach out to them? Can we comfort those who are supposed to be mourning? And why aren’t you talking about this every single Sunday from the pulpit?”

You wouldn’t believe the response I got. So many people said, “What is that going to do?” “Glenn Beck, that’s a dumb answer.” Is it? How about educating yourself first? How about educating others first? How about then going to our pulpits? The American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement came and were won from the pulpit first. Our pulpits should be on fire, but our pulpits are barely an ember.

It’s shameful what is happening. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, not to speak is to speak, not to stand is to stand, not to watch is to watch. Don’t you see, because of technology, God is condemning all of us now? We can see it. We couldn’t see the Holocaust before. We can see it this time. He is condemning us.

You say I don’t want to watch it. I don’t know how many people said, “I don’t want to watch it. I don’t want to watch it. I don’t want to watch it.” Why? Why don’t you want to watch it? Well, because you’ll never be able to unsee it. Good. You should be able to watch it and never unsee it.

How many horror movies do we watch? How many things do we see over and over again? We’re putting that garbage, that filth, into our head, and then when it really happens, I don’t want to watch it. Why not? Because you know it condemns you once you’ve seen it.

I’ve got news for you, you have access to it. Not to watch is to watch. You’re making a choice. God will not hold us blameless, so I suggest that you reach out to the Coptic Christians. They are persecuted. They need your help. I suggest that you reach out to your pastor, your priest, and your rabbi, and if he won’t do it, you do it. We’ve got to stand together. There is powerful evil.

Remember what Paulina told me, the woman who was one of the Righteous Among the Nations. She said the righteous didn’t suddenly become righteous; they just didn’t go over the cliff with everybody else. Everybody else is going over the cliff. They’re going over the cliff, and what is the cliff? The cliff is I don’t want to see it; I don’t want to think about it; I can’t do anything about it. Don’t go over the cliff. Don’t. Stand.

You know what’s right. You may not know what you can do. Maybe all you can do is pray like you’ve never prayed before. Maybe all you can do is seek out somebody who is actually going over there and fund them. Maybe you can go over. Maybe you are a priest or a pastor or a rabbi. You were born for times such as this.

Washington Post EXPOSED: How Watergate editors almost published a fake Pulitzer Prize-winning story

Episode 6 of Glenn’s new history podcast series The Beck Story releases this Saturday.

This latest installment explores the history of Left-wing bias in mainstream media. Like every episode of this series, episode 6 is jam-packed with historical detail, but you can’t squeeze in every story, so some inevitably get cut from the final version. Part of this episode involves the late Ben Bradlee, who was the legendary editor of the Washington Post. Bradlee is legendary mostly because of the Watergate investigation that was conducted on his watch by two young reporters named Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Bradlee, Woodward, and Bernstein became celebrities after the release of the book and movie based on their investigation called All the President’s Men.

But there is another true story about the Washington Post that you probably won’t see any time soon at a theater near you.

In 1980, Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee wanted to expand the Post’s readership in the black community. The paper made an effort to hire more minority journalists, like Janet Cooke, a black female reporter from Ohio. Cooke was an aggressive reporter and a good writer. She was a fast-rising star on a staff already full of stars. The Post had a very competitive environment and Cooke desperately wanted to win a Pulitzer Prize.

Readers were hooked. And outraged.

When Cooke was asked to work on a story about the D.C. area’s growing heroin problem, she saw her chance to win that Pulitzer. As she interviewed people in black neighborhoods that were hardest hit by the heroin epidemic, she was appalled to learn that even some children were heroin addicts. When she learned about an eight-year-old heroin addict named Jimmy, she knew she had her hook. His heartbreaking story would surely be her ticket to a Pulitzer.

Cooke wrote her feature story, titling it, “Jimmy’s World.” It blew away her editors at the Post, including Bob Woodward, who by then was Assistant Managing Editor. “Jimmy’s World” would be a front-page story:

'Jimmy is 8 years old and a third-generation heroin addict,' Cooke’s story began, 'a precocious little boy with sandy hair, velvety brown eyes and needle marks freckling the baby-smooth skin of his thin brown arms. He nestles in a large, beige reclining chair in the living room of his comfortably furnished home in Southeast Washington. There is an almost cherubic expression on his small, round face as he talks about life – clothes, money, the Baltimore Orioles and heroin. He has been an addict since the age of 5.'

Readers were hooked. And outraged. The mayor’s office instructed the police to immediately search for Jimmy and get him medical treatment. But no one was able to locate Jimmy. Cooke wasn’t surprised. She told her editors at the Post that she had only been able to interview Jimmy and his mother by promising them anonymity. She also revealed that the mother’s boyfriend had threatened Cooke’s life if the police discovered Jimmy’s whereabouts.

A few months later, Cooke’s hard work paid off and her dream came true – her story was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing. Cooke had to submit some autobiographical information to the Prize committee, but there was a slight snag. The committee contacted the Post when they couldn’t verify that Cooke had graduated magna cum laude from Vassar College. Turns out she only attended Vassar her freshman year. She actually graduated from the University of Toledo with a B.A. degree, not with a master’s degree as she told the Pulitzer committee.

Cooke’s editors summoned her for an explanation. Unfortunately for Cooke and the Washington Post, her resume flubs were the least of her lies. After hours of grilling, Cooke finally confessed that “Jimmy’s World” was entirely made up. Jimmy did not exist.

The Pulitzer committee withdrew its prize and Cooke resigned in shame. The Washington Post, the paper that uncovered Watergate – the biggest political scandal in American history – failed to even vet Cooke’s resume. Then it published a front-page, Pulitzer Prize-winning feature story that was 100 percent made up.

Remarkably, neither Ben Bradlee nor Bob Woodward resigned over the incident. It was a different time, but also, the halo of All the President’s Men probably saved them.

Don’t miss the first five episodes of The Beck Story, which are available now. And look for Episode 6 this Saturday, wherever you get your podcasts.

UPDATED: 5 Democrats who have endorsed Kamala (and one who hasn't)

Zach Gibson / Stringer, Brandon Bell / Staff | Getty Images

With Biden removed from the 2024 election and only a month to find a replacement before the DNC, Democrats continue to fall in line and back Vice President Kamala Harris to headline the party's ticket. Her proximity and familiarity with the Biden campaign along with an endorsement from Biden sets Harris up to step into Biden's shoes and preserve the momentum from his campaign.

Glenn doesn't think Kamala Harris is likely to survive as the assumed Democratic nominee, and once the DNC starts, anything could happen. Plenty of powerful and important Democrats have rallied around Harris over the last few days, but there have been some crucial exemptions. Here are five democrats that have thrown their name behind Harris, and two SHOCKING names that didn't...

Sen. Dick Durbin: ENDORSED

High-ranking Senate Democrat Dick Durbin officially put in his support for Harris in a statement that came out the day after Biden stepped down: “I’m proud to endorse my former Senate colleague and good friend, Vice President Kamala Harris . . . our nation needs to continue moving forward with unity and not MAGA chaos. Vice President Harris was a critical partner in building the Biden record over the past four years . . . Count me in with Kamala Harris for President.”

Michigan Gov. Whitmer: ENDORSED

The Monday after Biden stepped down from the presidential VP hopeful, Gretchen Whitmer released the following statement on X: “Today, I am fired up to endorse Kamala Harris for president of the United States [...] In Vice President Harris, Michigan voters have a presidential candidate they can count on to focus on lowering their costs, restoring their freedoms, bringing jobs and supply chains back home from overseas, and building an economy that works for working people.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: ENDORSED

Mere hours after Joe Biden made his announcement, AOC hopped on X and made the following post showing her support: "Kamala Harris will be the next President of the United States. I pledge my full support to ensure her victory in November. Now more than ever, it is crucial that our party and country swiftly unite to defeat Donald Trump and the threat to American democracy. Let’s get to work."

Rep. Nancy Pelosi: ENDORSED

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is arguably one of the most influential democrats, backed Harris's campaign with the following statement given the day after Biden's decision: “I have full confidence she will lead us to victory in November . . . My enthusiastic support for Kamala Harris for President is official, personal, and political.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: ENDORSED

Massasschesets Senator Elizabeth Warren was quick to endorse Kamala, releasing the following statement shortly after Harris placed her presidential bid: "I endorse Kamala Harris for President. She is a proven fighter who has been a national leader in safeguarding consumers and protecting access to abortion. As a former prosecutor, she can press a forceful case against allowing Donald Trump to regain the White House. We have many talented people in our party, but Vice President Harris is the person who was chosen by the voters to succeed Joe Biden if needed. She can unite our party, take on Donald Trump, and win in November."

UPDATED: Former President Barack Obama: ENDORSED

Spencer Platt / Staff | Getty Images

Former President Barack Obama wasted no time releasing the following statement which glaringly omits any support for Harris or any other candidate. Instead, he suggests someone will be chosen at the DNC in August: "We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. I believe that Joe Biden's vision of a generous, prosperous, and united America that provides opportunity for everyone will be on full display at the Democratic Convention in August. And I expect that every single one of us are prepared to carry that message of hope and progress forward into November and beyond."

UPDATED: On Friday, July 26th Barack and Michelle Obama officially threw their support behind Harris over a phone call with the current VP:

“We called to say, Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.”

The fact that it took nearly a week for the former president to endorse Kamala, along with his original statement, gives the endorsement a begrudging tone.

Prominent Democratic Donor John Morgan: DID NOT ENDORSE

Prominent and wealthy Florida lawyer and democrat donor John Morgan was clearly very pessimistic about Kamala's odds aginst Trump when he gave the following statement: “You have to be enthusiastic or hoping for a political appointment to be asking friends for money. I am neither. It’s others turn now . . . The donors holding the 90 million can release those funds in the morning. It’s all yours. You can keep my million. And good luck . . . [Harris] would not be my first choice, but it’s a done deal.”

How did Trump's would-be assassin get past Secret Service?

PATRICK T. FALLON / Contributor | Getty Images

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday was targeted in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. It occurred just after 6:10 p.m. while Trump was delivering his speech.

Here are the details of the “official” story. The shooter was Thomas Matthew Crooks. He was 20 years old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. He used an AR-15 rifle and managed to reach the rooftop of a nearby building unnoticed. The Secret Service's counter-response team responded swiftly, according to "the facts," killing Crooks and preventing further harm.

Did it though? That’s what the official story says, so far, but calling this a mere lapse in security by Secret Service doesn't add up. There are some glaring questions that need to be answered.

If Trump had been killed on Saturday, we would be in a civil war today. We would have seen for the first time the president's brains splattered on live television, and because of the details of this, I have a hard time thinking it wouldn't have been viewed as JFK 2.0.

How does someone sneak a rifle onto the rally grounds? How does someone even know that that building is there? How is it that Thomas Matthew Crooks was acting so weird and pacing in front of the metal detectors, and no one seemed to notice? People tried to follow him, but, oops, he got away.

How could the kid possibly even think that the highest ground at the venue wouldn't be watched? If I were Crooks, my first guess would be, "That’s the one place I shouldn't crawl up to with a rifle because there's most definitely going to be Secret Service there." Why wasn't anyone there? Why wasn't anyone watching it? Nobody except the shooter decided that the highest ground with the best view of the rally would be the greatest vulnerability to Trump’s safety.

Moreover, a handy ladder just happened to be there. Are we supposed to believe that nobody in the Secret Service, none of the drones, none of the things we pay millions of dollars for caught him? How did he get a ladder there? If the ladder was there, was it always there? Why was the ladder there? Secret Service welds manhole covers closed when a president drives down a road. How was there a ladder sitting around, ready to climb up to the highest ground at the venue, and the Secret Service failed to take it away?

There is plenty of video of eyewitnesses yelling that there was a guy with a rifle climbing up on a ladder to the roof for at least 120 seconds before the first shot was fired. Why were the police looking for him while Secret Service wasn't? Why did the sniper have him in his sights for over a minute before he took a shot? Why did a cop climb up the ladder to look around? When Thomas Matthew Cooks pointed a gun at him, he then ducked and came down off the ladder. Did he call anyone to warn that this young man had a rifle within range of the president?

How is it the Secret Service has a female bodyguard who doesn't even reach Trump's nipples? How was she going to guard the president's body with hers? How is it another female Secret Service agent pulled her gun out a good four minutes too late, then looked around, apparently not knowing what to do? She then couldn't even get the pistol back into the holster because she's a Melissa McCarthy body double. I don't think it's a good idea to have Melissa McCarthy guarding the president.

Here’s the critical question now: Who trusts the FBI with the shooter’s computer? Will his hard drive get filed with the Nashville manifesto? How is it that the Secret Service almost didn't have snipers at all but decided to supply them only one day before the rally because all the local resources were going to be put on Jill Biden? I want Jill Biden safe, of course. I want Jill Biden to have what the first lady should have for security, but you can’t hire a few extra guys to make sure our candidates are safe?

How is it that we have a Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheatle, whose experience is literally guarding two liters of Squirt and spicy Doritos? Did you know that's her background? She's in charge of the United States Secret Service, and her last job was as the head of security for Pepsi.

This is a game, and that's what makes this sick. This is a joke. There are people in our country who thought it was OK to post themselves screaming about the shooter’s incompetence: “How do you miss that shot?” Do you realize how close we came to another JFK? If the president hadn't turned his head at the exact moment he did, it would have gone into the center of his head, and we would be a different country today.

Now, Joe Biden is also saying that we shouldn't make assumptions about the motive of the shooter. Well, I think we can assume one thing: He wanted to kill the Republican presidential candidate. Can we agree on that at least? Can we assume that much?

How can the media even think of blaming Trump for the rhetoric when the Democrats and the media constantly call him literally worse than Hitler who must be stopped at all costs?

These questions need to be answered if we want to know the truth behind what could have been one of the most consequential days in U.S. history. Yet, the FBI has its hands clasped on all the sources that could point to the truth. There must be an independent investigation to get to the bottom of these glaring “mistakes.”

POLL: Do you think Trump is going to win the election?

It feels like all of the tension that has been building over the last four years has finally burst to the surface over the past month. Many predicted 2024 was going to be one of the most important and tumultuous elections in our lifetimes, but the last two weeks will go down in the history books. And it's not over yet.

The Democratic National Convention is in August, and while Kamala seems to be the likely candidate to replace Biden, anything could happen in Chicago. And if Biden is too old to campaign, isn't he too old to be president? Glenn doesn't think he'll make it as President through January, but who knows?

There is a lot of uncertainty that surrounds the current political landscape. Trump came out of the attempted assassination, and the RNC is looking stronger than ever, but who knows what tricks the Democrats have up their sleeves? Let us know your predictions in the poll below:
