This seems to be the IMAGE illustrating the phrase "Speak Truth to Power"



One of the ancient traditions of the Russian Orthodox Church is the yurodivy, the holy fool who naively yet fearlessly speaks truth to power.

Very weird people here

quaker version here">

It appears to be some psycho-sexual-woo-woo-pseudo-science crap.

I think this (and the similar Quaker tradition mentioned) derive from St. Paul's audience before the Roman Emperor Nero, who lterally demanded worship as a "god." St. Paul preached the gospel (truth) to the "god" Nero (power) and was subsequently beheaded. (As a Roman citizen, he was spared crucifixion).

For a party whose minions have done everything in their power to drive all mention of God from society and abolish and destroy the Judeo-Christian culture that grew thanks to the spread of this gospel over the last few decades to make use of this phrase is the very essence of blasphemy. The people at the convention in Boston worship daily at the feet of their "gods" - multiculturalism, feminism, atheism, globalism, socialism, the gay agenda, etc. Their use of this phrase is an utter obscenity.
