  • 00:00

    Now, you might ask how did things get this way?

  • 00:03

    How did it come to a point in our culture where people are so radically confused about this issue?

  • 00:08

    Where even now some of you you think homosexual acts are wrong, but you feel bad about it.

  • 00:15

    Like you think it is wrong, but you secretly feel like you are doing something wrong even by thinking it is wrong.

  • 00:20

    How did that happen? Well, in one recent Netflix

  • 00:26

    expose about the gay rights movement. They interviewed one particular leader.

  • 00:31

    I cannot remember his name out the top of my head.

  • 00:32

    But, he talks about how they got

  • 00:35

    the culture to change

  • 00:36

    on this issue of homosexuality. Because it has been a total cultural flip in a very short period of time.

  • 00:41

    And his statement is

  • 00:42

    we sold it like cereal.

  • 00:45

    We used advertising, we use pictures, we use propaganda and we have sold it

  • 00:49

    just the same way they sell like Kellogg's cereal.

  • 00:51

    And, I put like a you know sports figure on the cover or whatever that is how we did it.

  • 00:56

    There is actually a book from the 90's.

  • 00:58

    It is called after the ball. How America will conquer its fear and hatred of gays in the 90's.

  • 01:05

    This book I would have bought it, but it was over $300 on Amazon.

  • 01:10

    Because it is a very, it is quite a collectible book for obvious reasons.

  • 01:15

    What it does is it outlines a three-step plan to change American public opinion.

  • 01:20

    Using tactics of manipulation and advertising primarily in the media.

  • 01:26

    What they do is that their three steps are: one desensitize,

  • 01:30

    two jamming and three conversion.

  • 01:33

    So, the first step desensitize. They liken the people's disapproval of homosexual behavior as

  • 01:41

    like having a bad smell in the room. Yes, not that homosexual behavior smells bad, that is not their point.

  • 01:46

    They are total you know pro gay advocates. What they are saying here is what we will do is

  • 01:51

    we will desensitize them by constantly exposing them to homosexual

  • 01:55

    activities. That they will just be so inundated by it that eventually

  • 01:59

    they will just mellow out, and it will not bother them anymore.

  • 02:01

    That will be the concept. So, let me quote:

  • 02:05

    Just like a smell after a while as it goes away.

  • 02:08

    Which some of you are very grateful that that happens because of your kids.

  • 02:12

    So, their goal

  • 02:13

    and I quote from this book is: "We can extract the following principle for our campaign to desensitize straights to gays and gayness,

  • 02:20

    inundate them in a continuous flood of gay related advertising.

  • 02:25

    Presenting in the least offensive fashion possible.

  • 02:29

    Presented in the least offensive fashion possible. If straights cannot shut off the shower

  • 02:33

    they may at least eventually get used to being wet."

  • 02:37

    So, that will simply get accustomed to it. There will be a gay character in every movie.

  • 02:42

    There will be gay references frequently and it will not in be not in a derogatory fashion,

  • 02:47

    but just kind of like in a accepted style.

  • 02:49

    And so, hopefully they will be desensitized. But, then they go on to say

  • 02:52

    but that is not enough of a goal the next step is jamming. What they call jamming?

  • 02:57

    And, this has to do with making anyone who is opposed to homoerotic behavior into a bad guy.

  • 03:03

    The same way that Hollywood makes bad guys.

  • 03:05

    I think a good illustration of this is star wars. Any Star Wars fans anybody is Star Wars fan in here?

  • 03:10

    I am a star wars fan, but I have to admit Luke Skywalker

  • 03:13

    is a sniveling lousy hero, he is a constant complainer.

  • 03:17

    I mean like his most common. I think quote in the movie is him doing something like:

  • 03:22

    meah, meah! It is just, he is a crybaby and he is like: Oh, I was going to go do this. He is..

  • 03:27

    there is nothing to look at this guy and enjoy, you know.

  • 03:31

    I think in one movie he comes off, when he is rescuing Han, you know from the

  • 03:36

    carbon-freeze thing he went through. He comes off pretty cool for like 10 minutes

  • 03:41

    and then he is back to just being a like a whiny, like no that is impossible. You know that kind of thing.

  • 03:46

    Well, because his hand got cut off.

  • 03:49

    Well, Hollywood though, what did they do?

  • 03:52

    How did they make you cheer for Luke Skywalker?

  • 03:54

    Well, the opening scene of Darth Vader is him like forced choking some guy to death for making a mistake.

  • 04:01

    So, by default Luke is the hero.

  • 04:06

    We do, we see this all the time. The introduction to above a bad guy in a movie is typically them

  • 04:11

    overreacting and killing one of their own, you know or something and it is like: oh! now

  • 04:14

    I know who the bad guy is. And, no matter how bad the other guy is by default he is the good guy.

  • 04:20

    You know, when they sell us on certain things.

  • 04:23

    Well, what they are going to do with the strategy of jamming is to over exaggerate.

  • 04:27

    and vilify every representation of

  • 04:31

    anyone of anybody Who disagrees with homosexual behavior.

  • 04:36

    To make them all look like villains like bad guys. Let me read to you from the book it says:

  • 04:41

    The goal is this: "Propagandistic advertisement can depict homophobic and homo hating bigots

  • 04:49

    as crude loudmouths and blank holes, who are not Christian?

  • 04:55

    So, that just to pick them all is in a really bad way. In fact,

  • 04:58

    it is even in the text, that all, everyone who disagrees with us is a

  • 05:02

    is a homophobic and a homo hating bigot.

  • 05:04

    They are not just people who think it is a sin.

  • 05:07

    It can show them being criticized,

  • 05:09

    hated and shunned. It can depict gays experiencing horrific suffering as the direct result of homo hatred -

  • 05:17

    suffering of which even most bigots would be ashamed to be the cause."

  • 05:21

    It can, in short, link homo hating bigotry with all sorts of attributes the bigot would be a shame to possess

  • 05:28

    and with social consequences he would find unpleasant and scary...

  • 05:31

    our effect is achieved without reference to facts logic or proof.

  • 05:37

    If not, it is not necessary that you have reasons to believe this or not,

  • 05:41

    it is just that every movie you can think of where there is a prominent

  • 05:46

    gay character in the film that whoever is against their gay act is just like you would not want to be that guy.

  • 05:55

    You would not want to be this guy.

  • 05:57

    The same effect I think happens in modern representations of Christians in films.

  • 06:02

    They are all nutty, they are all weird, they are all wacko

  • 06:05

    and yet the vast majority of Christians are not like this. And, yet um

  • 06:09

    except well Fred is a little bit.

  • 06:13

    Now yeah, Steve is not here, I pick on him.

  • 06:17

    Now, that is the second goal, jamming. So, the goal of Jamming is it declares is so that

  • 06:23

    what happens is when someone sees a gay person and then they think: oh! what they do is wrong.

  • 06:29

    They project on themselves the image of the villain of the films and media and movies and

  • 06:35

    music that they have heard. So, that they feel really bad about it, and they are like:

  • 06:38

    Oh, I do not want to feel this way.

  • 06:40

    So, then they approve it of it that they might then feel better about themselves.

  • 06:43

    It is brainwashing.

  • 06:45

    The third tactic is conversion.

  • 06:48

    This is the goal and conversion is not to just get you to accept to the behavior

  • 06:52

    that was the first one, desensitized. Not to jamming to stop the

  • 06:57

    opposition of behaviors to just stop it, but rather conversion is to get all non gays

  • 07:02

    to like gays and to directly approve of it.

  • 07:05

    So, let me quote from the book again.

  • 07:07

    We mean conversion of the average American's emotions mind, and will through a plan

  • 07:13

    psychological attack in the form of propaganda fed to the nation via the media.

  • 07:18

    In conversion the bigot, who holds a very negative

  • 07:21

    stereotypical picture, is

  • 07:23

    repeatedly exposed to literal picture label pairs, in magazines,"

  • 07:29

    So there is a picture with label.

  • 07:31

    "and on billboards and TV of gay

  • 07:33

    -explicitly labeled as such!-

  • 07:36

    who not only do not look like his picture of a homosexual,

  • 07:40

    but are carefully selected to look either like the bigot and his friends,

  • 07:44

    or like any of his other stereotypes of all-right guys-

  • 07:47

    the kind of people he already likes and admires."

  • 07:50

    So, that the goal here is to associate them with with a positive image, so that that there is

  • 07:56

    an attitude of acceptance and embracing.

  • 07:59

    Now, I am not saying here, that there is this vast conspiracy and everyone is involved

  • 08:04

    and they are all trying to brainwash you.

  • 08:06

    But, what I am saying is, these are proven selling tactics.

  • 08:10

    Used by things like you know you associate, you know, smoking with cowboys.

  • 08:14

    And then more people smoke because that makes them feel like a cowboy, kind of.

  • 08:18

    You know, and like: yeah! when you smoke without the filter man, then it is like cowboy style.

  • 08:22

    You know you are more like a cowboy.

  • 08:23

    You know, that this is the kind of thing that happens and if we just look at our lives we go.

  • 08:28

    This is really what we have seen.

  • 08:30

    This is what we have seen, whether they done it deliberately or not or any doubt,

  • 08:33

    I do not even care. I am not really into conspiracies. I feel like they are a big waste of time.

  • 08:37

    But, I want to observe

  • 08:39

    there is something here.

  • 08:43

    The vilification of non,

  • 08:46

    non gay approving people is

  • 08:49

    consistent in our culture to the point,

  • 08:51

    where you feel like you have to apologize for saying that you think homosexuality,

  • 08:56

    homosexual behavior is a sin.

  • 08:59

    What do you think about gay people? Do you think it is a sin?

  • 09:01

    Well yeah, I think it is a sin.

  • 09:02

    But, now let me spend like 10 minutes backpedaling so that you do not think that

  • 09:05

    I am a bad person. Because now I feel like a bad person you think I am a bad person and

  • 09:08

    so we spend the rest of our time just trying to not feel bad, when it is like if someone goes well,

  • 09:12

    how about incest? Do you think incest is a sin?

  • 09:15

    Well yes, I think incest is a sin. I do not feel like I have to qualify that, do I?

  • 09:19

    You incest-o-phobe! you bigot!

  • 09:23

    It does not work, does not work on that one, does it?

  • 09:26

    It only works on homophobe. I can be accused of homophobia even if I have no ounce of homophobia in my life.

  • 09:33

    That can easily be done.
