When they came for the Catholics…
If that line does not ring a bell for you, it is from Martin Niemoller the Lutheran minister/ philosopher that resisted the Nazi takeover of Germany. The entire quote is on the wall of the Holocaust museum. Here is my version of his quote edited for this article:
When they came for the Catholics and I did not speak out—because I was not a Catholic
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
While the intention of the Dem/Biden administration is likely to attack anyone or any group with values just to get the violent reaction they have been hoping for and talking about… this latest provocation should be a warning. Whether you are a Roman Catholic, a Jew or non-believer your government and the FBI gestapo is out to get you. Not really for any crime other than “wrongthink.”
The cause celeb is a Roman Catholic pro-life speaker, author and sidewalk councilor, Mike Houck that was often around abortion clinics with signs, trying to discourage women from killing their children. The story goes that a clinic volunteer was bringing another victim to the slaughter and Mike had his 12 year old son with him at the rally. The alleged abortion guardian got in the boy’s face and started yelling about how bad his father was.
According to Houck’s wife, Ryan-Marie, while out sidewalk counseling last year with their eldest son, he and the son were harassed by said activist.
“On several occasions when Mark went to sidewalk counsel last year, he took his eldest son, who was only 12 at the time. For ‘weeks and weeks,’ a ‘pro-abortion protester’ would speak to the boy saying ‘crude … inappropriate and disgusting things,’ such as ‘you’re dad’s a f-g,’ and other statements,” LifeSite News reported Friday.
On Friday, the Biden Department of Justice performed a SWAT like raid on the home of Mark Houck, a pro-life author and father of seven who runs a nonprofit that offers sidewalk counseling outside abortion clinics in Philadelphia.
Why did the FBI raid his home? Because last year Houck committed the alleged crime of defending himself and his eldest son against a zealous pro-abortion activist.
“Repeatedly, Mark would tell this pro-abortion man that he did not have permission to speak to his son and please refrain from doing so. And ‘he kept doing it and kind of came into [the son’s] personal space’ obscenely ridiculing his father. At this point, ‘Mark shoved him away from his child, and the guy fell back.’”
“He didn’t have any injuries or anything, but he tried to sue Mark,” according to Ryan-Marie.
Thankfully, the case was reportedly thrown out by the prosecutor and then by the court earlier this summer. But that, sadly, is not where the story ends.
Led by Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Biden DOJ decided to intervene and file its own charges against Houck. The DOJ specifically charged Houck with violating the “Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act” as per an alleged “attack of a patient escort.”
The Gestapo raid on the family home at 7am involved at least 26 Armed FBI thugs and was designed to scare anyone with non-regime ideas into silence and compliance. (See the book “1984” by George Orwell) No shots were fired and no one was seriously injured. Allegedly Mr. Houk was arrested formally charged and released on bail. This follows numerous raids on political opponents in the DC area and famously an FBI cell phone seizure of Mike Lindell at hamburger drive through last week. If this is not massively opposed more will come and the least competent person ever to be in the white house will be your ruler for life, like his hero Xi Jinping.
