This is disgusting!

The Palm Beach State Attorney's office offers this monster a plea bargain, but wants to destroy Rush Limbaugh.

A Delray Beach pastor who faced a life term in prison for sexually abusing a preteen girl will not serve a day in prison for his actions.

Lutheran pastor accused of molesting child hundreds of times

Wednesday, June 4, 2003

Associated Press

DELRAY BEACH — A Lutheran pastor is jailed in Palm Beach County on charges that he molested a young girl hundreds of times — on some occasions, in a church office — over nine years.

Edouane Jean, 48, of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, was charged Sunday with 50 counts of capital sexual battery, 50 counts of sexual battery and 100 counts of a lewd act on a child under 16 years of age.

When I swat a fly, I feel no remorse and fear no recriminations. Same would apply with some people I can think of.

Note: C-5; all of E

READ - HEED --- this is the leftist-radical roadmap since they have successfully comleted their first steps that were outlined back in 1962! Those were scoffed at, but they have been fulfilled - so now they are at this stage...

In 1919 an Italian socialist named Antonio Gramsci began to publish a newspaper in Milan called, L'Ordine Nuovo, or "The New Order." Loosely rendered, he concluded that the average person would never voluntarily reject the faith and culture of the West. He concluded that the best way to implement a collectivist government was to use an intellectual elite to destroy traditional values by attacking fundamental Jewish and Christian beliefs.

Antonio Gramsci, 1891-1937

...A. The New Order (L'Ordine Nuovo)
......1. Italian Communist newspaper, founded 1919
......2. Co-founder of Italian Communist Party, 1921
......3. Pre-Prison Writings, ed. Richard Bellamy (Cambridge, 1994)
......4. Selections from the Prison Notebooks (Intl. Publishers, 1971)

...B. Lenin was wrong, and the Leninist revolution will fail
......1. The workers will see the revolutionary government as a new boss
......2. When the revolution fails, the west will re-import Capitalism

...C. Gradual revolution through infiltration & subversion by revolutionaries
......1. Infiltrate the State: elective & appointed office; judgeships
......2. Infiltrate the military: enlist & subvert from within
......3. Infiltrate justice: undermine and discredit state constitutions
......4. Infiltrate education: professors & administrators
......5. Infiltrate & discredit religion: scoundrels as clergymen
......6. Register, then license, then confiscate all privately held weapons

...D. Form or infiltrate international organizations to promote goals such as "global understanding," "economic development," "transfer of resources"

...E. Both Capitalism and Judaeo-Christian culture must be destroyed before a Communist revolution can succeed
......1. Religious sentiment cannot be destroyed through legislation, as Lenin believed, but must be redirected from the divine to the state
.........a. Terror will only drive Religion underground
.........b. Religion will then reemerge when Leninism fails
.........c. So Religion must be destroyed in the minds of men

......2. Infiltrate religious academies and become priests and clergymen
.........a. Subtly promote heresy within religious organizations
.........b. Infiltrators must act so as to discredit the church
............(1) Cause financial and sexual scandals
............(2) See that this is given a high profile in the news
............(3) Like-minded infiltrators in the media will cooperate

......3. Once religion is discredited from within, continuously promote the idea that only the state can solve the problems that have been traditionally brought before the church

...F. When propagating revolutionary ideas, cloak them in polite terms
......1. National Consensus
......2. Popular Mandate
......3. National Pacification
......4. Pluralism
......5. Global Community
......6. Economic Justice
......7. Economic Democracy
......8. Liberation Theology
......9. Direct Action

...G. Marxists "must enter into every civil, cultural, and political activity in every nation, leavening them as yeast leavens bread."

Edouane Jean, 50, quietly acknowledged in court Thursday that he started molesting
a girl when she was 9 years old and continued for about six years.


Well, it appears that Satan is looking after his own.

Too bad he didn't pull this evil in Oklahoma. Maybe 10 years ago, a minister from
northwest OK took some liberties with a young girl (8 or 9 years old?)
maybe four or five times (as in fondling during "computer lessons").

The minister got an all-expenses paid trip to jail and (IIRC) was killed
by a fellow inmate in less than a year.

His attorney said Jean has not ruled out a return to the ministry.

No shame, no remorse, unafraid and will do it again.

From the name of this "pastor," I'd say he's Haitian. If so, there's a bit of a political thing going on here.

["It's a resolution that we're not totally happy with, but we're satisfied it will protect the child and other children," Belohlavek said.]

This is bullsh*t! Three years' probation is equivalent to letting him go free. The girl has NOT received justice, nore has society. And this sentence will do absolutely nothing to prevent this vile creature from harming others in the future (which, mark my words, he will). He should have received AT LEAST ten years. What an outrage!

With all due respect, your argument is completely out of place in this case. This has nothing to do with the Gramsci plan, and everything to do with a criminal act perpetrated by a clergy.

In general terms, the Left has of course been attacking the Church and all religions (except, curiously, Islam). But invoking Gramsci in cases like this only reduces the validity of the major argument you raised.

When clergy molest children, they should be cast out and punnished. This in fact would serve to stregnthen the Church. Years of covering up have caused immense (and completely unnecessary) damage. It is unfortunate that Church leadership have for so long failed to recognize such a basic moral argument.
