California lawmakers latest shocker: transgender boys using girls restrooms in public school

In a recent case, the US supreme court ruled to allow transgender children to use the opposite sex restroom in elementary schools. In other words, boys dressing as girls can use girls restrooms and locker rooms, and vice versa.

The passing of this law truly came out of thin air, according to eyes of the public, as was proven not only by the media introduction of the matter, but also based on our interview results. Last friday, we at Truth Hack conducted interviews at a local mall about the passing of this law. Not to our surprise, most people weren't aware that it was even passed. What does that state about our democracy? Anyways...

So, after explaining the entire ordeal to the several people we interviewed, we asked a few questions to get their opinion. In an attempt to strike it home, we asked if they have or personally know children in the public school system. Most do, at least in our small sample.

Triggering how truly personal this law is to almost everyone in the United States, we asked a non-confrontational question, but legitimate in all aspects: do you believe there needs to be gender separation in locker rooms and restrooms at public school? Results for us proved an undoubtedly 100% yes, according to our biased sample of course. Biased or not, there are absolutes, and boys are absolutely boys, and girls are absolutely girls, no doubt about it, nail in the coffin, the issue is solved if we take that one to the throne. But, in our post modern world where everything is growing more ambiguous by the day, and deceptive lies are becoming more in your face and blatant, we stand in awe of it.

Ok, rant over.

The real issue we want to address is lines, hedges, and basic human rights.

The next question we asked is, Do you believe the supreme court ruling has crossed boundaries in our children's right to privacy?

I don't know about you, but when I went to elementary school, girls had cooties, and enough junk went on in the boys bathroom when only boys were in there, but add girls into the mix and its a whole slew of issues to add to that mix. In most cases, she's still physically weaker than a boy and quite more vulnerable, to be able to defend herself in a boys bathroom. This is just elementary school. I don't even want to touch on middle school. I was there once. Let's just add more sexual abuse and people being taken advantage of to the mix is basically what the supreme court is ruling.

Rant over. Back to the question. The point I'm making is I didn't want girls in the bathroom when I was in there, yes even the tom boy girls. Perhaps a better ruling could have been to force every school to make a general restroom and locker where only one person can use at a time? But, let's not effect the budget, just children and parent's comfort levels.

Gender separation has been and always will be. The human race has flourished and multiplied because of it, and it is the only way the human race can continue. God made them male and female, from the smallest little mammal, to the ones fashioned in His very own image.

I appreciate the differences in men and women, in fact, I prefer it. If all women were like men, then this place would be boring for sure, lacking emotion, and some of those wonderful perks of having women put their feminine touch in everything God has created. to say the least. The same goes for males and their masculinity.

Think about it from a logical standpoint, diversity in the human race begins with male and female. They are claiming diversity, but in the very essence of the agenda being pushed, it is fading the lines of diversity because it is growing more and more ambiguous. Where is the sense in that? But, as the Word of God says, the god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of those who don't believe.

Black and white are diverse from one another, grays are all similar....Amen? Ok.

The final question we asked has to do with this line, and taking it straight from the preacher, we asked: What are some potential consequence that could arise as a result of this fading boundary of gender separation?

The preacher said it this way; whosoever breaks a hedge, the serpent will bite...(Eccl 10:8)

Here are some of the answers we received (these are not from me, but your fellow citizens): rape, molestation, emotional trauma, and confusion.

The truth is, the supreme court ruling has broken a boundary that has been set in order since before human history was recorded. The serpent will bite. But I don't think that serpent is done creeping up the skirt of our system yet, he has a few more boundaries before he's really ready to attack. But, he wants to make it as ambiguous as possible before he bites.

Like Hitler said, make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. That's where our world is headed. And the leaders of the pack sit in our supreme courts. What's next? The attempt to justify adult males taking advantage of male children. I won't be surprised when they start pushing that one in courts.

I'm glad I know the Wonderful Counsellor and the Prince of Peace, the Mighty God, and the Everlasting Father, Jesus my Lord. If you don't, get to know Him and all this will make a lot more sense. Time is coming to a close, God's ready to wrap things up, but before He does, let's save a few from the fire, on Truth Hack outing at a time! In Jesus name. May the Grace of God be with you all!

A Cold War on Terrorism? Or a Red Hot Herring?

“The war on terror is over.” a senior official in the State Department told the National Journal in April 2012. “Now that we have killed most of Al Qaeda…” Approximately 16 months after this statement, a global warning has been issued. The war on terrorism is apparently not over. We are in fact all under threat. Don’t travel this weekend, the State Department warns. The entire month of August has been set ablaze with warning- Al Qaeda communications have been intercepted and they have plans for mass destruction. Terrorism is at hand. Travel alerts everywhere…beware…the planet??? * * * On Friday, August 2, 2013 the State Department issued what it phrased to be a ‘worldwide travel alert,’ in response to an unspecified terrorist threat. A White House official stated that President Obama was being updated on “a potential threat occurring in or emanating from the Arabian Peninsula.” In summary of the sparse details offered, the threat was specific enough justify the closure of 21 US embassies and consulates as well as that of several European allies; but at the same time the threat was unspecific enough to narrow down the alert to anything less than the entire planet. In further elaboration of the travel alert issued on August 2nd, Americans were warned of the “continued potential for terrorist attacks, both in the region and beyond, and that they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August.” * * * On the first day that this “WARNING” was issued, Truth Hack conducted a series of interviews amongst the general population to find out how they felt about the issue at hand. “It’s kinda like alerting you that hey- the sun is coming up. It’s (the terrorist threat) something that has been going on for so many years.” Chris* commented. “The potential (for a terrorist attack) is always there and has always been there, I spent 8 years in the military so I’m always listening to what the government has to say and always keeping an eye out… but as far as I can see the government is just telling us to be careful.” “It’s not anything unusual.” Juan commented in regards to the warning. “If there is a real threat, the closure of the embassies this weekend might just be prolonging the threat.” “Look at what happened in Boston. There was no alert there, was there?” Ramon* asked. “But you can’t live in fear.” * * * Exactly a week has passed since the warning and Al Qaeda has yet to make a move. According to CNN, the security at the Yemen embassy was one of the most revamped. By Saturday at least 12 tanks were stationed within 500 meters of the building. All roads leading to the embassy were either closed or guarded, checkpoints were set up at a distance, and hundreds of additional security forces joined the already impressive security detail. Not to be outdone, the Department of Homeland Security beefed up it’s presence at airports, train stations and other travel points in the US. According to Senator Saxby Chambliss, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, the communications among terrorism suspects about the planning of possible attack was intercepted by one of the NSA surveillance programs revealed by NSA leaker Edward Snowden. These programs “allow us to have the ability to gather this chatter (terrorist conspiracy)” Chambliss stated. “If we did not have these programs then we simply wouldn’t be able to listen in on the bad guys.” * * * Lets take a moment to review the facts: Fact: We were issued an alert. Fact: The alert was severe enough to tell the world. Fact: The alert was so vague that no location was actually ruled out of danger. Fact: All US citizens were warned against travel. Fact: Multiple US and European embassies were closed down for the weekend. Fact: Certain locations experienced heightened security efforts. Fact: The information about this threat was derived from a mass surveillance program. Fact: No once has really specified the “threat” as anything beyond the terms of ‘terrorist‘ and ‘Al Qaeda.’ and ‘one of the most specific and credible since 9/11.’ Fact: The State Department announced Sunday that 19 diplomatic post will remain closed through Saturday (August 10th) because of the threat. Fact: Until recently, we were under the impression that Al Qaeda had been severely weakened and lacking in drive since the death of Osama Bin Laden and other leaders. Fact: There is always SOME threat to be an American overseas. Fact: Despite a lack of visible terrorist activity, the Senate Intelligence Committee was extremely eager to credit the “saving information” to one of the NSA programs made known by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. * * * Let me back up and clarify something here: I hate speculation. Literally. I hate theorizing about anything less than a solid, legitimate truth. I hate conspiracy theories. I long for nothing more than a solid foundation, a plausible and tangible truth. But in analyzing the facts that have been presented to date, I must ask myself these questions: Are we actually fighting a cold war on terrorism? A war so cold that the core group was declared gutted and the war itself “over” 16 months ago? Or could this be a red herring? Are the supporters of mass surveillance programs so desperate to support their cause that they would declare a worldwide threat of nothing specific so that they could more easily shoot down opponents to their illegal programs? Admittedly, I don’t know. There is no proof for either scenario. In all sincerity I hope that our government still respects the citizens enough to not fabricate stories to form grounds of justification for illegal activity. * * * So what is the truth? John 8:32 says "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." In the age of deceit it can be hard to see through the presentations of men, but there is one thing that shall always remain true- the Word of our Lord. As for the truth regardig the state of our nation- Only time will tell for sure, but as you observe and wonder at the things happening in the world, ask yourself this question- who do I trust to keep me safe? Do you trust the governnment with its massive warnings and chokehold on freedom in the name of safety? Palms 20:7 says "Some trust in chariots and some in horses" (in the power and secuirity of men) "but we will remember the name of the Lord our God." The unchanging truth in this matter is simple: Put your trust in God and you'll never be let down.
