Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, a moderate seeking a second term in solidly Democratic Massachusetts has soundly beaten Scott Lively, a “pastor “from Springfield notorious for his lunatic religious extremist fixation on exposing “the gay agenda.”
Lively garnered lots of attention earlier this year when he managed to peel away a disheartening number of delegates, nearly 28 percent, at the MassGOP convention in Worcester. Lively neglected to mention his “Kill the gays” point of view at the gathering, instead focusing on his devotion to other conservative causes and his support for President Trump.
Lively, who has called Trump “God’s man in the White House,” frequently called Baker a RINO – a Republican in name only – but had little money or staff to mount a serious challenge to the well-financed incumbent
Infamous anti-gay pastor and activist, Scott Lively who was recently accused of crimes against humanity in Uganda and is author of the rabidly anti-gay book titled the Pink Swastika which claims that the most ferocious German Nazi soldiers were homosexuals, announced Friday that he will run as a Republican in Massachusetts’ 2018 gubernatorial contest, setting up a primary fight against incumbent Gov. Charlie Baker.
Calling the governor a “Republican-in-name-only,” Lively contended that Baker has hurt conservative values, legislated as a “de-facto big government pro-abortion Democrat” and “plundered the treasury of the Republican Party to wage war on conservatives.”
Further, Lively argued, the incumbent governor “has presided over a sizable drop in Republican enrollments — on track to transforming the Grand Old Party into his own personal nest of corrupt patronage and croneyism that will represent less than 10 percent of the electorate by 2020.”
“Somebody needs to stop Charles Baker before he completely destroys the Republican Party and its foundation of principled conservatism that is the only real hope for restoring Massachusetts to its former strength and health,” he said in a statement. “I think that person is Scott Lively.”
In August of 2013, in response to anti-LGBT legislation in Russia, Lively wrote an open letter addressed to Vladimir Putin saying, “You have set an example of moral leadership that has shamed the governments of Western Europe and North America and inspired the peoples of the world.”
For the past two years we have heard about the case against Springfield, Massachusetts “Pastor” an anti-LGBT activist and the “crimes against humanity” lawsuit brought against him by Ugandan human rights activists. Lively and his virulent views about homosexuality at a 2009 anti-gay conference in Uganda is widely believed to have played a role in the drafting of Uganda’s notorious “kill the gays” bill. and was accused of collaborating with Ugandan officials to institute the death penalty for homosexuals.
Today the lawsuit was dismissed because “based on lack of jurisdiction.”
SMUG v. Lively (Sexual Minorities Uganda’s suit against Scott Lively)
Court grants summary judgment in favor of Defendant Scott Lively, based on lack of jurisdiction. Memorandum and Order linked below
“Plaintiff has filed this lawsuit under the Alien Tort Statute (“ATS”), 28 U.S.C. § 1350, seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief based on Defendant’s crimes against humanity. Defendant now seeks summary judgment in his favor arguing that, on the facts of record, the ATS provides no jurisdiction over a claim for injuries — however grievous – – occurring entirely in a foreign country such as Uganda. Because the court has concluded that Defendant’s .jurisdictional argument is correct, the motion will be allowed.
“Anyone reading this memorandum should make no mistake. The question before the court is not whether Defendant’s actions in aiding and abetting efforts to demonize, intimidate, and injure LGBTI people in Uganda constitute violations of international law. They do. The much narrower and more technical question posed by Defendant’s motion is whether the limited actions taken by Defendant on American soil in pursuit of his odious campaign are sufficient to give this court jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s claims. Since they are not sufficient, summary judgment is appropriate for this, and only this, reason.”
In conclusion: “For the foregoing reasons, Defendant’s motion for summary· judgment (Dkt. No. 248) based on lack of jurisdiction is hereby ALLOWED. As noted, the court will decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the two purely state .law claims·. As to them, the motion for summary judgment is ALLOWED, without prejudice to re-filing in state court if Plaintiff desires. The clerk will enter judgment of dismissal. This case may now be closed.
“It is so ordered.”
Lively is president of Abiding Truth Ministries a recognized LGBT hate group and is director of Redemption Gate Mission Society, both currently based in Springfield, Mass.
“Because no matter what, [homosexuality] is still abnormal, wrong, harmful and perverse.” – Eugene Register-Guard, Nov. 1, 1992
“There is no question that homosexuality figures prominently in the history of the Holocaust. … The first years of terrorism against the Jews were carried out by the homosexuals of the SA.” – The Pink Swastika, 1996
“It is not mere coincidence that the emperors of Rome in its horrific final days were homosexual; that Adolf Hitler’s inner circle were mostly homosexual; and that nearly all of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history were homosexual. It is not mere coincidence that America’s cultural decline parallels the rise of ‘gay rights.’” – “Agents of the Death Agenda,” May 1996 edition of Life Advocate magazine, quoted in “Northwest Update,” Coalition for Human Dignity,June 1996.
“Homosexuality is thus biologically (and to varying degrees morally) equivalent to pedophilia, sado-masochism, bestiality and many other forms of deviant behavior.” – “Deciphering ‘Gay’ Word-Speak and Language of Confusion,” May 2002
“Homosexuality is a personality disorder that involves various, often dangerous sexual addictions and aggressive, anti-social impulses.” – “Letter to the Russian People,” 2007
“The gay movement is an evil institution [whose] goal is to defeat the marriage-based society and replace it with a culture of sexual promiscuity in which there’s no restrictions on sexual conduct except the principle of mutual choice.” – Conference in Kampala, Uganda, March 2009
“We need to bring back public discussion of AIDS as a ‘gay’ disease, pederasty as [sic] major subculture of male homosexuality, mental health problems and domestic violence as major problems associated with lesbianism, the increasing recruitment of children into a homosexual identity through experimentation with ‘gay’ sex, etc. – all the truths we stopped telling because the other side screamed so loudly about them.” – WorldNetDaily, September 2012
According to Lively, Putin is the world’s last hope, and other nations should follow in his footsteps by implementing more anti-LGBT laws.
A PRIDE celebration which was scheduled to take place this weekend in Uganda has been cancelled after a government minister threatened to organize a mob to beat up anyone who participated in the parade.
Saturday’s parade was scheduled to be held in a private space in Munyonyo, outside of Kampala, the country’s capital. But police raided the Mr. and Miss Pride pageant on Thursday night at the Venom nightclub and detained several of Uganda’s most visible LGBT activists for several hours.
On Friday, lawyer Nick Opiyo of Chapter 4 Uganda met with Ethics Minister Simon Lokodo to discuss the raid. Following the meeting, Opiyo told BuzzFeed News that Lokodo had threatened to bring opposition to the event to the streets, so organizers decided it should be canceled.
Opiyo added,
“We decided to suspend it because of the risks to personal safety. The minister threatened to mobilize a mob and a large police group to beat up anyone who shows up for pride tomorrow. We will engage the government next week with a view of holding the pride parade at another date soon.”
The cancellation has come only two days after a private LGBT pride event at a nightclub in Kampala was disrupted by policemen. The police claimed the event was a breach of a law requiring organizers to obtain permission to hold public meetings (organizers say they did, in fact, get permission for the event). Activists say some of those present were arrested and detained, but later released.
In 2014, Yoweri Museveni, Uganda’s president, signed a controversial anti-gay law which criminalized same-sex relationships and ordered life imprisonment for offenders. Despite being struck out by the Ugandan Supreme Court, the LGBT community has continued to face Since then discrimination and attacks against LGBT people have increased 10 fold.
Purportedly these actions of the Ugandan government are in violation of agreements made with both the US and the UK, which state that Uganda must allow pride parades to take place without government intervention.
Anti-gay activist Scott Lively has had a long and bigoted career ranging from re-writing history and claiming that the Nazi’s were really “vicious gays” to going all the way to Uganda to preach his evil hate about the LGBT community and prodding them to put its LGBT citizens to death. But now Lively is beginning to pay for his evil sins he has been found writing money-begs to other anti-gay groups urging them to join him in pushing to the passage of Russian-style anti-gay laws in America and elsewhere – and of course, send cash.
Lively hysterically bragged that he is being targeted by gay activists because his Abiding Truth Ministries is “one of the most feared and hated pro-family organizations in the world and the downside of being oh so “feared” and hated is that he is now facing a lawsuit stemming from his anti-gay activism in Uganda, which is why Lively was begging for money in the first place since his “feared” hate group grifts bring in pennies and his legal bills are mounting
“My friends, SMUG v Lively is truly a David v Goliath battle. I’m running a one-man office on a shoestring budget of less than $120,000 per year, provided almost entirely by donations of $50 and $100 from average people. Our donor base is small, mostly elderly, and very difficult to expand due to the success of the anti-Lively propaganda. While Liberty Counsel has been funding our legal defense, this lawsuit has nevertheless caused us major financial hardship and seriously threatens our future.
Frankly, I question whether ATM will survive the decade without greater support from the individuals scattered across the society who recognize the danger of the LGBT agenda and are willing to stand with us financially against it. That can only happen if the people who already support us encourage their like-minded friends and allies to donate to us.
In a separate email to hate groups abroad Lively declared that “the Leaders and Activists of the LGBT movement are malicious deceivers and evil-doers, deliberately subverting civilized society and viciously attacking all opponents to advance their selfish and self-destructive interests” and called for anti-gay activists to focus on preventing the passage of antidiscrimination ordinances that protect sexual orientation in places where they don’t already exist and repealing them where they do. :
We need to build international pro-family solidarity on a foundation of genuine moral authority, meaning it must rest on the premise that homosexuality itself is personally and socially harmful, and not pretend that our only social and political interests are the “welfare of children” or the “definition of marriage.” That pretense is a product of the same diseased pro-family “leadership” that marched the American pro-family movement from one disastrous defeat to the next for the past three decades, and it is now being exported to the rest of the world by the same men.
The beauty of the Russian law is it cuts right to the heart of the real problem of LGBT advocacy: the recruitment of children. What I mean by recruitment of children is not primarily the sexual exploitation of young people by adult homosexuals, though that represents a dark current within the larger “gay” culture, especially among the men. What I mean is the normalization of homosexual conduct and culture to children and youths, leading them to engage in homosexual experimentation among themselves and subsequently self-identify as “gay.” An entire generation of American, British and Canadian children has been enslaved to this corrupt culture and ideology through the very propaganda that Russia has now banned.
While numerous countries of the African continent have chosen a much stricter approach, seeking to deter all homosexual conduct through harsh criminal sanctions, the Russian law balances the privacy rights of adult homosexuals (who choose to live discretely outside the mainstream of society) with the need of the nation to protect its children from the ravages of sexual perversion. It deters the LGBT lobby from attempting to mainstream the “gay” lifestyle, while granting the individual members of its community the “right to be left alone” that was the original stated goal of their movement in its early years, before it adopted the militant fascist tactics it is known for today”
Scott Lively the so-called “Pastor” from Massachusetts who is currently named in a civil suit for his “Crimes Against Humanity” for spreading his “Kill the gays” philosophy in Uganda is now branching out and going after #BlackLivesMatter and other progressive movements claiming that they are responsible ones for “Christians” committing violence against Liberals.
“The strategy is to rapidly polarize the society to the point of violence by conservatives, which will serve as a pretext for ‘defensive police-state measures to suppress what they have already begun to spin as the rise of neo-Nazism. That’s the motivation behind the Black Lives Matter campaign and the outrageous, anger-inducing policies involving illegal aliens and multi-trillion dollar debt financing of ever more bloated entitlement programs and government expansion.
“The elites are deliberately provoking civil unrest to justify the suspension of civil liberties and what is left of the rule of law under the constitution. An agent provocateur (or ‘inciting agent’) is someone who acts deliberately to entice another to act rashly or illegaly, so they can be arrested or otherwise punished.
“That, writ large, is the strategy of the Obama administration and the leftist elites in their continuous and escalating provocation of the right. It is important for the cooler heads in our Christian/Secular conservative coalition to educate our people about this tactic and caution them against rash acts in the coming weeks and months.
“We should also be on the alert for staged incidents by our opponents that they will most likely implement if they can’t goad our own people into such acts — and we should make public our accusation that we believe they intend to do so. By all means, let the backlash begin! But use caution. Pass it on.” – Scott Lively, writing for his personal evil weblog.
“The ‘Equality Act’ should be called the ‘Gaystapo Empowerment Act,’ because if passed it will give homosexual activists and their allies the legal power to attack and punish Christians and other pro-family advocates in virtually every sphere of American life. The trampling of Christian bakers, florists, bed and breakfast hotel owners etc. that we’ve seen this far will instantly transform from a few disturbing anomalies to the ‘new normal’ for nearly everyone who wants to live according to God’s law and values. Now, facing the potential passage of the Equality Act, I wonder if I or my organization, Abiding Truth Ministries, will be among the first targets of its overreach. For the first time in my pro-family missionary career, I’m genuinely concerned ATM’s ability speak freely in America may soon be curtailed – under threat of legal penalties, perhaps even criminal charges. The ‘gays’ are moving with lightning speed to consolidate their power, and their motives are not benign. On my five-stage scale of the LGBT takeover of a society (tolerance, acceptance, celebration, forced participation and punishment of dissenters), Obergefell represents the establishment of Stage 4 as constitutional law. The Equality Act will usher in Stage 5 on a grand scale.” – Hatemonger Scott Lively, who is currently facing Crimes Against Humanity charges for his role in promoting the Uganda “Kill the Gays” laws writing for WingnutWorld Net Daily.
“Abiding Truth Ministries.” ATM. Well done, Scott. Well done. Now if only you had better grifting skills.
Well at least you picked an accurate acronym: ATM.
“How is it that a relatively tiny handful of homosexual activists, themselves representing less than 2% of our population, has managed in the same period of time to establish a reign of homo-fascism in the United States that has turned centuries-old American values upside down and has turned its large Christian plurality (if not majority) into criminals (if they dare to cling to the teachings of the Bible)? Isn’t it true that one man with the flimsiest of plans could utterly defeat the abortion industry and the LGBT agenda in short order — if God backed Him? So why have virtually all our efforts failed? It’s really pretty simple. The American church just doesn’t have God’s favor anymore. The brutal truth is the church has lost the so-called culture war and is now under occupation, like the French under the Nazis, with nothing left to do but organize resistance and plot to overthrow the occupiers through a political revolt.”
Josiah, the most righteous of all the kings of Judah and the ultimate model of “social activism,” did far more than we could ever do to restore his nation through fighting evil (just read 2 Kings 23 for proof). Nevertheless, though Josiah was personally rewarded by God, the curse remained on Judea because the nation itself did not repent.
If we are under the same curse as Judah, not even prayer can save America. Of Judea, God told the prophet in Jeremiah 7:16 “So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you” and again in 14:11-12 he said to Jeremiah “Do not pray for the welfare of this people. When they fast, I am not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather I am going to make an end of them by the sword, famine and pestilence.” –Scott Lively, who is currently standing trial for Crimes Against Humanity for engineering the Uganda ‘Kill The Gays’ bill.
Scott Lively’s Crimes Against Humanity trial finally began today in Massachusetts the anti-gay legal hate group the Liberty Counsel, who is defending him is demanding more information about the plaintiffs, Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG).
Lively himself didn’t even bother showing up for the trial.
Lively is being represented by the Liberty Counsel, based in Orlando, Florida, which bills itself on its website as “an international nonprofit litigation, education, and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and the family.” It has provided pro bono legal assistance on these and related topics since 1989. Attorney Roger Gannam on Tuesday argued that lawyers for the plaintiffs were being so surreptitious in turning over documents – already subject to an “attorney’s eyes only” restriction – that it was hindering Lively’s ability to wage an effective defense.
“Scott Lively has no desire for the information except for this lawsuit,” Gannam argued to U.S. Magistrate Judge Katherine Robertson. “SMUG has not proved that it’s reliable in deciding what Scott Lively should see and shouldn’t see.” In particular, the lawyer cited an email relating to a SMUG fund-raiser geared toward paying fees in the Lively case, which he said was so heavily redacted even the subject line was blacked out. Gannam also referred to images the plaintiffs have withheld of participants at the 2009 workshop in Uganda, which he argued Lively couldn’t confirm were there if he can’t see their faces. Gannam also suggested the plaintiffs’ representation of the significance of the 2009 workshop in Uganda was overstated.
So in a nutshell. Lively’s and his lawyers want identifying info on lots of LGBT Ugandans, so they can use it to intimidate them with that implicit threat so they back down And in an even worse senario forward it to Africa where they can be arrested or killed.
Not only should Scott Lively be found guilty but a lawsuit should be brought against Rick Warren, who helped spread the hatred overseas as well.
Scott Lively who is currently standing trail for Crimes Against Humanity for his spreading of hate against gay men in Uganda is hooking up with ReaganBook nutjob Janet Porter and they will present “As many as two million restraining orders”to the Supreme Court at the press conference on Monday, April 27th at 10:00 am.. The cost for a hater to fill out a such a retraining order is only $50 per petition will all proceeds going to Porters and Lively’s criminal pockets.
Via press release:
Constitutional Attorney and former Massachusetts Gubernatorial Candidate Dr. Scott Lively, in his capacity as President of Abiding Truth Ministries and it’s global subsidiary Defend the Family International, will reiterate his call for the immediate recusal of Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Elena Kagan at a press conference on the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington DC on Monday, April 27th at 10:00am. Lively is one of fifteen national pro-family leaders who have organized the “Restrain the Judges” Project, calling on the Congress of the United States to exercise its power under Article 3, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution to remove jurisdiction over marriage from the Supreme Court. The members of this coalition will present as many as 2 million “Restraining Orders” to the Supreme Court at the press conference. These are letters from pro-family advocates across the nation personalized to all 535 Members of the Congress and the 9 Justices of the Supreme Court.
If this court declares homosexual sodomy to be a basis for marriage by judicial fiat and the majority ruling relies on the blatantly pre-judiced (pre-judged) votes of Gingberg and/or Kagan, this nation will be thrown into a state of civil and moral chaos not seen since the civil war. A sizable portion of our citizenry, and numerous state governments will rightly refuse to comply with the ruling of the court and civil disobedience will be the only recourse for people of strong Biblical faith.
Scott Lively, of Abiding Truth Ministries, also known as ATM, needs your money to continue this blessed work.
