Deception, smear and slander is super easy to do but difficult to escape from God’s wrath Who continually warned the faithful “blessed are you when they slander you for My name sake”.
Being a Christian is not an easy task. If you have no wolves in your life and if you are not smeared, you are not sheep. Folks need to stop kidding themselves.
Smear works in that instead of dealing with the message, try to paint the messenger in a negative light. Here is one <a href="http://Read%20more%20at%20http://www.wnd.com/2015/09/another-smear-attack-on-harbinger-man/#IwKiJf5DEXORTxIv.99WND">example</a> from a decade long friend, Joseph Farah at WND:
<blockquote>
But a man claiming to be a former Palestinian terrorist turned Christian offers up the ultimate attack on the son of a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany – alleging that Cahn’s popular theory about the impact of the biblical Shemitah is judgment by God “supports Adolf Hitler.”
</blockquote>
So now, I am attacking “a son of a holocaust survivor” and all of the sudden, after decades of fighting anti-Semitism, I am an anti-Semite.
So <a href="http://www.wnd.com/?s=Shoebat">many were the articles</a> with literally hundreds of references I wrote for World Net Daily including translations and exposes … and I refused the pay where I was always titled as “Former PLO operative turned Christian Arabic-language researcher Walid Shoebat” and now I am just “a man claiming to be a former terrorist”. In other words, when we liked Walid, he was who he claims to be, but now, its doubtful.
<div id="attachment_85664" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Walid-Shoebat-former-terrorist.jpg"><img alt="Walid-Shoebat-former-terrorist" class="wp-image-85664 size-full" height="421" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Walid-Shoebat-former-terrorist.jpg" width="600" /></a>
The man who was hit with amnesia and the media simply reminded him who he was
</div>
All this, from the promoters of “repentance” and “love”. Farah forgot the day when he contacted me for help and I raised over one hundred thousand dollars for his cause in fighting CAIR. I got nothing but his bickering because the donor wanted “favors in return”.
Smear actually works, out of hundreds of vicious slandering <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2015/09/another-smear-attack-on-harbinger-man/">comments</a>, I selected but a few:
<blockquote>
Walid Shoebat … When it comes to bashing Jews, a muslim is a muslim and always will be a muslim
Shoebat is an Arab… he is NOT a Christian, he is a liar…. much like the liar-in-chief who resides in OUR WH.
Shoebat a former terrorist? Can anyone say Taqiyya? Think about it. He would have been killed long ago as a defector from the faith. To the muslims a defector is worse than an infidel unless….he is waging jihad by deception.
Walid Shoebat is an Arab, first and foremost. You ACTUALLY believe he is a Christian?
somebody better keep a sharp eye on this potential spy…
Does Shoebat not FEAR God that he savagely attacks anointed Jonathan Cahn?
</blockquote>
The unappreciative will quickly forget that I was one of the first to coin Taqiyya. I was one of the first Arabs to stand for Jews. I was one of the first who told these prophets of doom who trumpet, “God damn America,” to only expose them with “God bless America”. I was one of the first Arabs to anger demons by saying that:
<blockquote>
“hating Catholics is the only accepted prejudice”.
</blockquote>
I dare them to tell Jews what they say about Catholics. No man can refute that Pope Pius XII rescued 850,000 Jews to only become the most slandered pope in history. Cahn now just for being a “Jew” is “holy”? All of the sudden, they forget “there is neither Jew or Greek …”
The demons of slander who con themselves of being filled with the Holy Spirit are in abundance with none of them knowing that all they are filled with is dung.
So the argument goes, that one can never write a rebuttal for someone’s claim, if the claimant is Jewish. This is the modus operandi these days as if Judas Iscariot, Bar Kochba, Marks, Lenin … all should be immune from being exposed since they are “Jews”.
All I stated can be summarized like this: if one takes Cahn’s proposal, that the Hebrew Calendar and the economy are the standard of measure for blessings and curses, then:
1-Jesus is no longer the Messiah. If one uses the Hebrew Calendar, Jesus’s crucifixion would land on 63 A.D discounting Him as Messiah. This debunks Cahn’s calculations completely and renders Farah’s books in the garbage bin where they will end up.
2-Christian experts in Germany fed all the stock market data in light of the GDP (Gross National Product which Cahn missed in his book) showed without a hint of doubt, scientifically, that Cahn’s argument fall flat on its face: America had a downturn on the Shemitah after it defeated Hitler in World War II.
Does Cahn <a href="http://shoebat.com/2015/09/12/bombshell-jonathan-cahn-admits-his-books-and-his-the-jewish-calendar-forces-messianic-believers-to-deny-jesus-was-the-messiah/">support a thesis</a> in which God cursed America for bombing Nazi Germany and a <a href="http://shoebat.com/2015/09/15/the-shemitah-theory-written-by-jonathan-cahn-supports-adolph-hitler/">Hebrew calendar</a> that cursed Jesus from being the Messiah? This is <a href="http://shoebat.com/2015/09/15/the-shemitah-theory-written-by-jonathan-cahn-supports-adolph-hitler/">simply the fact</a> which we wrote:
<blockquote>
university professor, Dr. Adrian Zenz, from Korntal Germany took Cahn on his challenge and tested Cahn’s sabbatical year theory (Shemitah). The expert analysis had one striking (out of many) damning conclusions: if we accept Cahn’s Shemitah (Sabbath) theory by using the stock market data we would have the God of the Bible supporting the Nazis and judging America for destroying Hitler after World War II.
</blockquote>
One would think that this alone should be repugnant for someone claiming to be a “believer in Messiah” and “son of a holocaust survivor”.
So what then is the motive of insisting on such calculations?
Answer: it sells. Money for such wheelers and dealers is much more important than any Messiah.
Real smear is simply recognized because it ignores the detailed issues, instead, it would refute everything with statements of piety. Farah responds to our expose with:
<blockquote>
Cahn’s entire teaching ministry is based on the foundation that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah and therefore the Messiah of the world.
</blockquote>
You see now? Shoebat is now “attacking a man of God”.
A smear campaigner will always accuse you when you expose his error as “you are attacking a servant of God”. I even get so many comments on Cahn that say “The Lord told me to tell you not to touch His anointed”.
With cults, forget the really anointed, forget Jesus, forget Cyrus, forget John ..  We have walking prophets, commenting prophets, TV prophets, blogging prophets, book-selling prophets …. we have more false prophets per capita than any other society on earth. Is this what Cahn is asking America to repent from? No. In fact, these sell you more “prophets of doom”.
The “spirit of fear” is of the devil and is not from God.
Are we not to handle the problem of repentance in our own hearts and instead simply point at the secular world when we are just as bad? We have rampant divorce, acceptance of homosexuality in the church, signs and wonders … an entire religious and adulterous generation that seeks signs and wonders.
Smear campaigners never offer real answers. Cahn rebuttal to the experts is simple, WND reports:
<blockquote>
Cahn responded to what he called the “bizarre tirade,” saying the focus of his teaching has for years been to call Americans to repentance and to return to God with the entire weight of their being. It is only by revival and mass repentance that America will avoid judgment
</blockquote>
This is no rebuttal. Everyone knows we are all in need of repentance, except for the prophets of doom, of course. These do no wrong.
Cahn, after realizing his date-settings did not bear the fruit of doom on September 13, 2015, tells the 700Club that an earthquake in California was evidence to his prophecy. Fact is, it was an earthquake in Chile which California coast felt. If one takes such silly arguments, the Shemitah than is upon Chile, not the U.S., Chile is the nation which now becomes the extension of Israel, not the U.S.
Shoebat is just a party-pooper,  WND claims:
<blockquote>
Shoebat’s first essay also attacked Mark Biltz, … and WND founder Joseph Farah who published the book and produced movies about Biltz and Cahn.
</blockquote>
Truth is, I defended Joseph Farah when one woman wrote an article for him calling Cahn “a Messianic Jew, is a 21st century John or Jeremiah … He got stuck with unraveling a code given to him by God. … Then Ishmael and Isaac meet as Joseph Farah, of Arab heritage …”
God sent a code to Cahn? Cahn is like John and Jeremiah? Canh is Jew while Joseph is Arab?
All this nonsense. And I was actually defending Farah:
<blockquote>
“I know Joseph Farah very well and he is no Arab, he is a proud Lebanese. Christian Lebanese hate to be called Arabs and are proud to say that they are “Phoenicians”. Farah opted for sales. I hope and pray he repents”
</blockquote>
I did what Cahn preached, to ask people like Farah to “repent”.
The mistake I did was this: never ask the ones calling for all this “repentance” to “repent”. These are immune from error. WND ended with:
<blockquote>
Shoebat did not respond to an email from WND seeking comment.
</blockquote>
Absolutely false. WND failed to produce any attempt to contact us and I have written Farah. He never responded.
Smear campaigners are known when they are guilty of the very thing they accuse you of.
There was only one truth WND stated which was:
<blockquote>
Shoebat wrote that Christians should stop buying the books “like dumb goats before the slaughter.”
</blockquote>
Indeed. This must have enraged the crowds who are gathering for the storm, doom and gloom upon America. And while they wait, moons have come and gone, dates also … with absolutely nothing to show for what so many spent their heart-earned dollar: hoping for curses on America instead of blessings.
Such are the cults.
All cults say “Jesus” but the key is “you shall know them by their fruit”.
You know how I know that blood moons and shemitahs will yield nothing, and how I know we’re not there yet?
Its simple: we don’t even have a ten nation confederacy yet.
All we have is just doom and rumors of gloom.

Obama Wants To Put The Man Who Made The Videos Exposing Planned Parenthood’s Baby Organs Selling In Prison

<div class="pf-content">

The Obama administration and other powerful people within the government want the man who made the videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s baby organs selling in prison. I did a whole video on this:
<iframe width="660" height="440" src="http://shoebattube.com/player/embed_player.php?vid=1060&width=660&height=440&autoplay=no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
According to <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/planned-parenthood-supporters-want-to-jail-financially-destroy-undercover-sting-video-producer-lawyer-warns-145398/" target="_blank">the report:</a>
<blockquote>
Planned Parenthood supporters in positions of government power are looking to jail and financially destroy the producer of the undercover sting videos that have brought attention to the abortion giant’s illegal practices, a pro-life lawyer claims.
Tom Brejcha, an attorney for the Thomas More Society, said anti-abortion activist and Center For Medical Progress founder David Daleiden is facing aggressive lawsuits for his undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood, and their end goal is to put him in jail and “destroy him financially.”
David Daleiden and Tom Brejcha were two of the four figures who presented during a “Stop Baby Parts Trafficking” live webcast Tuesday. The simulcast was hosted by David Bereit, the national director of 40 Days for Life, a pro-life mobilization effort.
Brejcha said that while abortion groups are pursuing aggressive lawsuits against Daleiden, Presiden Barack Obama’s Department of Justice “is waiting in the wings to pounce on David.” Brejcha added that the California Attorney General’s office is no friend of the right to life movement and have launched their own investigation of Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress.
“National Abortion Federation is seeking to suppress David’s ability to communicate what he has found in these undercover videos,” said Brejcha. “They want a temporary gag order and then a permanent one.
“The stakes are very great here, the law is favorable to David,” added Brejcha. He told over ten thousand listeners to the simulcast that the Center for Medical Progress broke no laws. The Thomas More Society lawyer says the public has a right to know and said “public interests must prevail over mere private agreements.”
Brejcha says Daleiden deserves a top defense and declared, “We are considering every option to defend David.”
The Thomas More Society attorney pointed out that Planned Parenthood has not sued anybody and declared their strategy largely consisted of playing defense.
“They have left it to the NAF that is represented by a huge multi-corporate law firm,” said Brejcha, “that is really aimed at silencing David and the evidence he has already produced.”
Brejcha vowed victory and said his organization and attorneys are in the legal battle for the long haul.
Daleiden spoke at the beginning and end of the simulcast, admitting “he was quite tired,” but doing well in general.

A huge Muslim mob in Pakistan surrounded a Christian family’s home, and burned the house down in trying to burn the family to death. According to <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/pakistani-mob-sets-christian-home-on-fire-tries-to-kill-family-members-by-burning-them-alive-145809/" target="_blank">the report:</a>
<blockquote>
A mob of radicals in the capital city of Pakistan torched the home of a Christian family and attempted to burn them alive by locking them inside before setting it on fire, a Christian aid group is reporting.
Earlier this month, a large group of radicals in Islamabad arrived at the home of 38-year-old Christian Boota Masih and began banging on the door, shouting for him to come outside.
Masih told the British Pakistani Christian Association that when he answered the door, the mob’s leader demanded that he and his family either give up their home, leaving all of their belongings behind, or suffer the consequences.
Masih believes that the mob went to his house because they wanted to take his family’s property. The mob told Masih that he and his family were trespassers in their own home.
Despite the fact that Masih could see that the mob came equipped with weapons, he did not comply and refused to leave his home.
“I was terror stricken, the mob was threatening to kill me and my family. They had weapons in their hands and started to brandish them before me. I thought they would kill all of us,” Masih explained. “I refused to leave my home — I had paid for it fairly and they had no right to ask me to leave.”
Pakistan 
(Photo: Reuters/Mohsin Raza)Women from the Christian community mourn for their relatives, who were killed by a suicide attack on a church, during their funeral in Lahore, March 17, 2015. Suicide bombings outside two churches in Lahore killed 14 people and wounded nearly 80 others during services on Sunday in attacks claimed by a faction of the Pakistani Taliban.
After Masih’s refusal, the mob began to beat him with metal rods and sticks. Some of the members of the mob locked Masih and his family inside a room and set the house on fire.
Although the house was destroyed in the fire, Masih was able to rescue his family, which consists of his wife and six children, from the inferno.
“I broke the door down using all my strength, desperate to live and to save my family,” Masih explained. “Soon other local Christians came to rescue us. They put out the flames and called the fire brigade.”

The Last Words Of Aaron Russo: “Americans, Tell The Government You’re Mad As Hell”

<hr />
“Americans, mobilize. Stand together, stand tall. Don’t co-operate. Say no to national I.D cards. Get mad as hell.” These were the final worlds of film-maker and activist Aaron Russo, who died after a six-year battle with bladder cancer on August 24, 2007.
Russo is famous for his (must-see) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6ayb02bwp0" target="_blank">documentary</a> America: From Freedom To Fascism, and also for his shocking <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/secrets-of-the-elite-why-forbess-rich-list-doesnt-include-the-wealthiest-families-on-the-planet/" target="_blank">claims</a> that friend Nick <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/now-thats-rich-rockefellers-and-rothschilds-team-up/" target="_blank">Rockefeller</a> revealed <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/russell-brand-on-bilderberg-2015-you-dont-have-to-believe-the-queen-is-a-lizard-to-be-angry-about-secret-talks/" target="_blank">secret</a> plans for <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/fox-news-deleted-report-in-wake-of-911-israeli-spies-could-be-linked-to-attacks/" target="_blank">9/11</a> and a subsequent, endless <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/us-soldier-the-real-terrorist-was-me-and-the-real-terrorism-is-this-occupation/" target="_blank">war</a> on terror almost a year <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/911-how-did-the-bbc-know-about-wtc7s-collapse-23-minutes-before-it-happened/" target="_blank">before</a> the <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/some-guy-has-pointed-out-something-really-strange-about-the-911-footage-weve-been-watching-all-these-years/" target="_blank">twin</a> <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/if-top-architects-and-experts-dont-believe-the-911-story-why-should-you/" target="_blank">towers</a> were attacked.
Russo was a libertarian, and believed strongly in the American <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/rand-paul-sues-obama-administration-over-nsa-fourth-amendment-violations/" target="_blank">constitution</a>. This final message to humanity, and in particular to American citizens, was filmed shortly before he passed away- but in light of government plans to introduce micro-<a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/man-arrested-for-microwaving-his-id-to-fry-the-microchip-and-protect-his-privacy/" target="_blank">chipping</a> and the ongoing problem of the <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/117-countries-slam-american-police-brutality-at-un-human-rights-council/" target="_blank">militarization</a> of <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/state-of-emergency-declared-in-ferguson-as-organizer-says-police-are-preparing-for-war/" target="_blank">police</a> in the States, his words are more relevant than ever.

How To Build A €1000 Eco-Home In Just 100 Hours!

Creating an eco-home from open-sourced blueprints has never been easier or more affordable
[embedded content]
<hr />
South African furniture designer Ryan Frank has built up an impressive <a href="http://www.ryanfrank.net/products/" target="_blank">portfolio</a> in the past ten years, with sustainability the keyword for many of his creations. From farmhouse tables to computer accessories, lamps and shelves, Ryan’s designs have been <a href="http://www.ryanfrank.net/press/media-coverage/" target="_blank">featured</a> in articles around the world. He now has studios in London and Barcelona, but despite his success, Ryan prefers a simple life. In this video from faircompanies.com he shows us around his home- an impressive ‘temporary structure’ he made on a plot of land in <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/justice-at-last-spain-is-forcing-banks-to-pay-fines-for-empty-homes/" target="_blank">Spain</a>.
Ryan was looking for a blueprint for an eco-home that would be classed as temporary: meaning no cement, stone or other masonry, and raised slightly off the ground. After considering <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/introducing-the-wannabe-off-gridders-awesome-inspiration-for-living-the-dream/" target="_blank">yurts</a> and <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/just-one-hour-from-vancouver-there-is-a-secret-island-where-everyone-lives-completely-off-grid/" target="_blank">domes</a>, he settled on a design that would cost him 1000 euros ($1125), and require just 100 hours of work. Often called a ‘boathouse’ or ‘gothic arch’ structure, it was originally developed by a <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/living-on-a-floating-piece-of-history-how-these-people-swapped-londons-crazy-house-prices-for-a-life-on-the-canals/" target="_blank">boat</a> builder. The home is a wooden structure, covered by sheep wool and topped with canvas. In winter, a wood-burning stove keeps the house cosy and warm, and in summer opening the window and door provide an air tunnel to keep the home cool.
Ryan lives in the house full-time with his girlfriend, although they use a separate <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/take-a-tour-of-a-super-cool-airstream-tiny-home/" target="_blank">camper</a> as a kitchen, as well as a separate composting toilet and outdoor shower. He’s also designed a funky planter: a recycled plastic tube is filled with earth and topped by a plant-pot which drip-feeds into the tube, allowing for <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/awesome-origami-pots-grow-with-your-plants/" target="_blank">plants</a> to sprout from the holes he drilled.
Ryan doesn’t give us the exact details on how to find and build the particular prototype shown in the video, but if you are interested, a wide variety of cost-effective, open sourced <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/take-a-tour-of-this-amazing-floating-eco-home/" target="_blank">eco</a>–<a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/this-ecocapsule-tiny-home-lets-you-live-off-grid-anywhere-in-the-world/" target="_blank">homes</a> are available to browse on <a href="http://www.wikihouse.cc/about/" target="_blank">WikiHouse</a>. They include some very similar designs, plus lots more inspiration for the amateur builder. Alternatively, our recent post on ‘Greenhouses of the future’ gives more <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/want-to-build-an-eco-home-but-dont-know-how-let-this-guy-teach-you/" target="_blank">details</a> on a start-up offering step-by-step instructions on how to build your own <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/students-develop-a-tiny-home-bio-habitat-to-remedy-the-affordable-housing-crisis/" target="_blank">eco</a>–<a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/this-man-built-a-low-cost-tiny-home-for-only-500/" target="_blank">home</a>, at a ridiculously low price.

Model Launches Petition Against Industry That Wants Her “Down To The Bone”

A young British model is sick and tired of being told she's not thin enough and has launching a campaign to ban the use of dangerously skinny girls (and boys)
<div readability="33"><a href="http://cdn10.trueactivist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/rosienelson.jpg"><img alt="Model Rosie Nelson, who is fighting back against the fashion industry" class="wp-image-40853" height="411" src="http://cdn10.trueactivist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/rosienelson.jpg" width="730" /></a>
Model Rosie Nelson, who is fighting back against the fashion industry
</div>
<hr />
Rosie Nelson is a British model who is calling for a law to protect models from becoming dangerously thin. She has just launched a <a href="https://www.change.org/p/dcms-create-a-law-to-protect-models-from-getting-dangerously-skinny-lfw-modelslaw?utm_source=action_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=394136&alert_id=tCcUvVMDRL_FZNMu5Z0A%2BcUQ7MrThaqjlE4Q3PvBDRkC7S%2F541UmJJvazCKb%2BFqK8c3i8vw5X2J" target="_blank">petition</a> on Change.org, and this is her story:
“I’m a 23 year old model, a clothes size 8 to 10. The girl in the picture is me. When I walked into one of the UK’s biggest <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/teen-model-with-down-syndrome-is-proving-to-the-world-that-beauty-is-diverse/" target="_blank">model</a> agencies last year they told me I ticked all the boxes except one- I needed to lose weight. So I did. Four months later I lost nearly a stone, 2 inches off my hips. When I returned to the same agency they told me to lose more weight, they wanted me ‘down to the bone‘.
She goes on: “When I look in the mirror I see someone who is healthy and comfortable in their skin. That’s because I had the guts to carve out my own path and refuse to let people pressure me into losing more and more weight. But with London Fashion Week the reminders are everywhere that we need a law to protect young girls, and boys, who are put under pressure to be dangerously thin.
“<a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/these-models-thought-they-were-shooting-sexy-but-instead-became-speechless/" target="_blank">Modelling</a> can be a very lonely place, especially for girls working internationally who are away from the usual support network of friends and family. When models travel overseas they are often put into shared accommodation with other models, and being surrounded by girls who are all striving to stay thin can perpetuate bad eating habits and encourage eating disorders. I’ve been on shoots for up to 10 hours where no food is provided — the underlying message is always that you shouldn’t eat. The agencies managing and recruiting <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/the-pressure-for-men-standards-of-beauty-around-the-world/" target="_blank">models</a> have a responsibility to the wellbeing of girls on the catwalk at fashion week, and in the industry as a whole.”
Rosie also points out that earlier this year, <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2015/apr/03/france-bans-skinny-models-crackdown-anorexia" target="_blank">France</a> became the latest country to vote to criminalize the use of models who are dangerously thin. Those breaking the law face fines of up to 75,000 euros ($84,525) and up to six months in jail. The industry has, or course, protested, but the law remains in place and many believe it should be globally applied.
