A football league team doctor has characterised players refusing the Covid-19 vaccination as easily-led and likened them to flat-earthers during a BBC broadcast.
Rochdale AFC’s Dr Wesley Tensel told BBC mid-day news on 5th October that players will be watching ‘misinformation’ about Covid or vaccines on social media. One video links to another, he told viewers, and ‘pretty soon you are believing the earth is flat’.
This refusal to grant players basic intelligence comes from a man who Sportsmail reports called for the whole football league season to be stopped in December 2020 amid a rise in cases at the time. In the event, some games were postponed including two involving Rochdale but the season continued.
Cryptocurrency and Botox
On Twitter, where his self-description includes ‘Property Investor & Cryptocurrency Trader’, Dr Tensel complains: “Whenever I’m running a vaccination clinic I’ll WhatsApp all the boys but it’s got to the point where nobody replies.” He told BBC’s Rachel Burden that ‘anti-vax messages’ mean that only around 20% of his (Rochdale) players are double vaxxed. The BMJ reports that GP’s receive £12.58 per double-jab administered.
Wesley Tensel was linked to Chloe Goodman’s Opiah Cosmetics
The Daily Star reported in 2016 that consultant plastic surgeon Charles Durrant criticised Dr Tensel for providing medical cover to an ex ‘On The Beach’ star called Chloe Goodman for her then Leeds-based clinic Opiah Cosmetics, which provided botox and fillers.
The law states that botox must be prescribed by a doctor or nurse practitioner. It must be prescribed for the actual patient, ideally after a consultation with the prescriber. Miss Goodman, who recently had a baby with Middlesborough defender Grant Hall, stated that she was working with clinical oversight from Dr Tensel. It was not clear if he saw all her botox customers.
Mr Charles, a member of The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons said: “Having a GP prescribe medication that someone else injects into someone’s face is abhorrent really. It’s outrageous.”
The Star reports that when they asked him for a response, Dr Tensel simply stated that Charles Durrant is “entitled to his opinions”. Since 2016, it appears Opiah Cosmetics has moved to Brighton and offers injectable lip fillers but no longer Botox. If you are interested to know the difference, click here. However, a booking site for Opiah refers to ‘btox’ and has ‘The Cutting Room’ in Leeds as a venue.
Wrong side of history
In December 2020 Dr Tensel said football ‘must be included should the government propose another lockdown’. He said football ‘does not want to appear on the wrong side of history’. He went on: ‘With everything that’s going on in 2020 and this massive global pandemic, we’re struggling to get on top of things – you can see the numbers are rising. People can’t go on holiday, they can’t do this, they can’t do that,’ Dr Tensel told Sportsmail.
He went on: ‘If we look back when our kids are at school and they’re doing history of what happened in the pandemic and they see they were still playing football, they were travelling around, it just doesn’t seem to me the wisest thing to be doing.
‘I just feel that, in the grand scheme of things, is football that important in the middle of a pandemic, when I’m seeing lots and lots of people dying with Covid. It doesn’t sit right.’
Games rescheduled
Covid positive test results
One week after Dr Tensel called for the season to be stopped, ‘cases’, or rather ‘positive test results’ peaked, on 4th January 2021, and then went down week by week as fast as they had risen. After the winter spike, deaths also followed a downward trend. It was the faint-hearted Dr Tensel who ended up on the wrong side of history.
Deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid test.
The 2019-2020 season was truncated in March 2020 in the national over-reaction to the Covid epidemic. ‘Project restart’ began in June 2020 with a few ‘tidying-up’ matches held in July.
The first games of the 2020-21 season were held in September 2020. The Premier League announced in December 2020 that clubs had returned 18 positive tests during the latest round of testing. This was the highest since June. Nevertheless, all the games in all the leagues were successfully rescheduled.
Relegated
Finishing in 21st place, Rochdale were relegated after the 2019-20 season from League One to League Two. They currently sit 16th in football’s fourth tier.
Rochdale AFC holds the distinction of having played the most seasons in the English Football League’s bottom two tiers of the four divisions (which are now named ‘Premiership’, ‘Championship’, ‘League One’ and ‘League Two’) without ever reaching the top two tiers or being relegated to the National League.
The club was formed in 1907 and entered the Football League, Third Division North, on 27th August 1921 with a 6-3 win against Accrington. One hundred years in the League is quite an achievement. They will need the Lord’s blessing to remain and progress, and that will only come by following Kingdom principles. Unity is a key Kingdom principle. It commands a blessing, as we know from Psalm 133. People in the club publicly criticisng others in the club does the opposite.
Football’s Refuseniks
The mainstream media have been full of a story that a very sizeable number of Premiership footballers are refusing the vaccine. Yahoo news is airing a Press Association story which says: ‘A report this week suggested only seven of the 20 Premier League clubs have succeeded in fully vaccinating 50 per cent or more of their squads, with the overall average said to be approximately one-third of all players. Due to medical confidentiality the Premier League will not confirm exact numbers.’
Disappointed: Health Secretary Sajid Javid MP
At least five members of the England squad are reportedly among them. Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said it is ‘disappointing’ and that ‘the players are role models who could play a part in encouraging others to get the jab.’
But that works both ways. They can be role models, even in the changing room, encouraging others who in conscience or for health reasons are refusing it.
‘Misinformation’ online
Sports minister Nigel Huddleston blamed the poor uptake on ‘misinformation online.’ It’s always ‘misinformation online’. He said the government were working ‘with social media companies to tackle fake news about vaccinations’. Government propaganda must prevail.
However, after a briefing from England’s deputy chief medical officer Jonathan Van-Tam, England football manager Gareth Southgate said: ‘What we do know is that, even with the vaccination, it’s not going to stop people catching it.’
Mr Southgate went on confirming the point, which is not ‘misinformation’: ‘Even if they are vaccinated, we still have to take those precautions because they can still catch it and therefore be ruled out of games, so it’s a strange one for us.
‘I … understand young people are going to have individual views on how they see it and they’re going to be influenced by what they read and what they see, so it is a far from straightforward cycle.’
Are players that stupid, Doctor?
Some media have said that black and ethnic minority players are the most likely to refuse the vaccine. That may be true, but the Rochdale first team has just three black players in its 23-man squad and yet Dr Tensel says only 20% of the whole Rochdale squad have been double-vaxxed.
In any event, surely, as their team doctor, Dr Tensel should be supporting players rather than accusing them of being so stupid they are unable to form their own opinion of the comparative risk from the virus and the vaccine or saying they are so easily led by what they see online that they are about to believe the earth is flat.
But such conceit can so easily happen when you decide that only you are right and so much cleverer than those who merely kick a ball about. Without for a moment doubting his motives, the doctor is nevertheless promoting a view acceptable to the arrogant men in power. But the Bible says:
Proverbs 16:19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
More risk from vaccine
With a humble spirit, Dr Tensel should recognise that those who have decided not to be vaccinated have sought out knowledge, not ‘misinformation’. They know they are at little risk from the Covid virus. The worst case was Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow who was laid out with it for a month but is now recovering.
Players also know there are risks, chiefly possible heart inflammation, particularly for young men, with the vaccine, especially in those double-vaccinated.
The US Centers for Disease Control say: ‘Cases of myocarditis reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) external icon have occurred: After mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), especially in male adolescents and young adults.’ Evidence is also piling up from Israel, Canada, Ireland, Europe and the UK. It was one reason the UK’s JCVI gave not to recommend vaccines for adolescent school-children. Concerns of an “increased incidence” of heart inflammation diseases myocarditis and pericarditis following inoculation, especially after the second dose is the reason Iceland, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, have all stopped giving the Moderna vaccine to young men.
Furthermore, AstraZeneca’s vaccine is not recommended in the UK for under-18’s at all, because of the risk of thrombosis (blood clots), which although rare could be ‘devastating’, according to consultant haematologist Dr Sue Pavord.
Any of these vaccine ill-effects would be self-inflicted and could end a football career. Players are not about to sacrifice themselves and their short careers in the faint hope that they might protect someone else. Particularly not when the Government and the England football manager have admitted they can still pass the virus on, vaccinated or not. Delving down to that knowledge makes them prudent and wise, in Bible language:
Proverbs 18:15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
Prayer
Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
2Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Pray that Almighty God will vindicate and sustain those who in good conscience resist all the pressure and refuse the experimental Covid vaccines.
May he bring an end to the oppression of restrictions and consign the unjust lockdowns to the history books. May he grant repentance, humility and the fear of God to those in power.

Browsing Facebook, I recently came across an impassioned video made by one Kate Worsford, still reeling from the shock of discovering lingerie, bondage wear and strange tattoos on her daughter’s dolls, revealed after being soaked in ice cold water. The outraged Aussie Mum, seething with disgust and with a few Aussie expletives to drive the point home, gave the ‘dolls’ the sort of indignant review any decent parent in their right mind would – perhaps minus an expletive or three, though her anger is wholly understood in the circumstances. Striking a note with concerned parents worldwide, the video generated 8.7 million views in a matter of hours and has drawn invitations for Kate to share her story on Australian TV networks.
The range of ‘L.O.L Surprise’ dolls, acronym for ‘Little Outrageous Little Surprise’, is extensive and the types of markings varied and disturbing. Before even being submerged some display fishnet stockings and red lipstick. When submerged they reveal, to name but a few examples: shackles on wrists, faces turning blue, knee high boots, bandages around private parts reading ‘caution’, an anchor tattoo on leg, luciferian occult symbolism of a Baphomet head and horns over private parts, suspenders, checker (occult) patterns and a boy with a pizza on his back. These dolls are targeted at ages three and above! (Not all dolls reveal markings of this kind but a significant number do.)
An example of a ‘LOL Surprise’ doll dressed like a prostitute.
Paedophilia hidden in plain sight
Why on earth would an image of a pizza appear on a
boy doll’s back? Well, anyone familiar
with Pizzagate and the email communications of Former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta with
the Clintons, Obamas and other senior figures will be aware of the hidden
meaning. For those who are not, 149
results referencing ‘pizza’ come up on Podesta’s emails to the Clintons on
WikiLeaks, many of these are out of context and combined betray a well grounded
suspicion of ‘pizza’ as a form of code for the sexual exploitation of children.
One cryptic message of 2/9/14 from
professor and writer Susan Sandler to John Podesta reads as follows:
“ Hi
John, The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems
pizza-related. Is it yorus? They can send it if you want. I know you’re busy,
so feel free not to respond if it’s not yours or you don’t want it. Susaner” (WikiLeaks)
Paedophiles are looking to avail themselves the same ‘legitimacy’ and rights following on from those afforded to the LGBT movement. They believe they ought not to be discriminated against either and have armed themselves with an acronym of their own, MAP, or ‘Minor Attracted Persons’ and have twitter feeds named, MAPpride# and MAPpositivity#, MAPlivesmatter# and borrow slogans such as ‘age doesn’t matter’ or ‘age is just a number’. Referring back to the email, the handkerchief had a message about a ‘minor attracted person’ that ‘seems pizza-related’. There is enough coded evidence here to raise alarm bells, of course many mainstream news sources consider these arguments ‘conspiracy’ and ‘fake news’ material so expect that when conducting your own research. But does it not seem totally out of place to show images of pizzas on children’s toys backs, like those on ‘LOL Surprise’ and might this provide an explanation? Whether or not I am accurately putting the pieces together here there is definitely something clandestine and seriously malevolent taking place under our nose, hidden in plain sight.
‘Pizza’ – sinister meaning hidden in plain sight.
There is no apparent clear warning as to what parents can expect when purchasing these disturbing and demonic items. They are packaged in a ball with very little to no clear explanation as to the contents. Another concerned parent, Lisa McBride of Glasgow, as reported here complained also that at the time of her purchase she hadn’t realized there were hidden and evil messages on the product, not noticing anything disclosing this on the packaging at the point of sale.
Perversion meets popularity
As welcome and necessary as Kate’s heartfelt opposition is, one wonders how these dolls grew, year on year, in popularity without any notable objection till now? The ‘L.O.L Surprise’ dolls are manufactured by MGA Entertainment Inc. The company, which also produces the slut-like garb of the Bratz range, aimed at young teens, has experienced tremendous worldwide success with the product which is hugely popular. Focusing on the UK, ‘LOL Surprise’ scooped first prize for ‘UK Toy of the Year’ for a third consecutive time this January. Prompting CEO and founder Isaac Larian to sqeal, “What an incredible fete – it’s a threepeat!!”
Raise
a strong voice of objection
I wrote a complaint to MGA Entertainment Inc as
follows:
“I request an official press release in response to the strength of protest expressed by concerned parents on social media platforms like Facebook and Youtube recently. These relate to the MGA ‘L.O.L Surprise’ doll products. Some of the dolls reveal totally inappropriate undergarments, when soaked in ice water. Our readers would like to hear how MGA could possibly defend this blatant and disgusting sexualisation of children.”
They can be contacted here. I have yet to receive a reply.
Kate Worsford’s expose drew many expressions of love and support, but also, as might be expected she stirred a few snakes, who, rejecting the shame that is rightfully theirs chose to attack her and her family instead. Her website was hacked and turned into a porn site in an attempt to destroy her reputation. More serious are the death threats, duly reported to the authorities. On the back of the threats to her family, bullying and intimidation she decided to delete all her social media presence by 21/8/20 to protect her family. In her final live message, Kate tearfully expressed deep concern for the safety of children worldwide in light of the dangers of exposure on social media platforms and in the disgusting practices of the toy industry. Her brave stand has already yielded positive results, with Australian chain of discount department stores ‘Big W’ pulling the dolls from their shelves within hours of this post – as reported here.
There is a war on our children’s innocence and the predators tentacles are more and more blatantly stretching out into all forms of commerce and media aimed at the children’s market. In one of her last posts Kate asked for prayer. Please do pray for Kate and her family and raise your own heartfelt objection in the strongest terms to MGA Entertainment Inc, and to distributors of toys throughout the UK. I sent a similar message of objection to ToysRUs, but, of course, there are numerous others to target also. Hopefully, we too will see success, God willing, as consciences are stirred and these disgusting ‘toys’ removed from shelves.
Severe
warnings
Our Lord gave severe warnings to those who would intend to harm and corrupt the innocent:
Matthew 18 1-6 At the same time came
the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto
him, and set him in the midst of them,
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little
children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble
himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such
little child in my name receiveth me.
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were
better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the
sea.
School closure give parents an opportunity to inoculate their children from the LGBT propaganda circulating in schools. Lockdown is bringing much hardship, but LGBT activists must be distraught at their lack of opportunity to promote ‘two mommies’ and ‘born in the wrong body’ Opportunities for ‘Mermaids’ and other transgender lobbyists, as well as ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ have been much reduced, thank God.
The first thing to say is that school closures were unnecessary, despite the BBC running interviews with parents who think it was very sensible. It is puzzling why the Government did not spell out loud and clear to us all that school children in general are the lowest risk group for even catching Covid-19, let alone becoming a serious case?
For example, a 16-year-old girl interviewed by the BBC about the cancellation of examinations let slip she had been self-isolating. ‘Oh really’, said the presenter, ‘Was that for corona virus?’ ‘Yes,’ replied the girl, ‘I had a bit of a cough and a temperature for a couple of days. Not very nice.’ That was it. For the under-tens in particular, there have been minuscule cases and not one death in that age-group worldwide, so far as we can ascertain.
However, explaining the lack of risk from Covid-19 might not have chimed well with Covid-19 Project Fear. In any case, it is probable teachers were more worried about themselves than about their charges. However, data from China shows the few children who have fallen sick appear to have caught the virus from adults, not from other children. Children are not transmitters. There was absolutely no need to close schools.
University College London
The media have reported on a study from University College London published in The Lancet.
The academics say ‘school closures have little impact on spread of coronavirus’. The ‘small benefits’ should be ‘weighed against profound economic and social costs’.
One of the research authors, Professor Russell Viner, said: ‘Data on the benefit of school closures in the coronavirus outbreak is limited, but what we know shows that their impact is likely to be only small.
‘Additionally, the costs of national school closures are high – children’s education is damaged and their mental health may suffer, family finances are affected.’
He said policy makers should ‘weigh up the possible harms and reopen schools at the earliest opportunity’ – and not necessarily wait until September if it can be done safely sooner.
School’s out for how long?
However, Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has there will be no imminent return and head teachers have described pressure for an early return as ‘irresponsible’. School’s out for May at least. Moreover, if you choose to keep your child off for the rest of this academic year, ministers have said there will be no penalties.
If school really is out for summer, the new RSE guidelines will take effect in September this year as children do return. We are losing valuable time to hold meetings and make parents aware. ‘Gay lessons’ are right at the heart of Government plans.
Recruit-proof Your Child
7 Steps to Recruit-proof Your Child is the title of a book by Scott Lively. It was published in 1998 but is still relevant, except there is obviously no reference to the horrors of transgenderism.
The seven steps are Get Serious, Take Authority, Inform Yourself, Strengthen Your Family, Improve Your Parenting Skills, Clean House, and Be Active in Your Community.
Get Serious
Under ‘Get Serious’ Dr Lively reminds us that ‘gays recruit’. But they need a social softening-up exercise first. That is where books like ‘And Tango Makes Three’ or ‘King and king’ or ‘Two Mommies’ come in, in primary school. Mention of homosexuals as ‘minorities’ or equating opposition to homosexuality with racism also works as a pre-grooming tool.
You also need to find out what the school is teaching your child in the are of Relationships and Sex Education and demand to see materials and curriculum details. Never regard teachers as benign on this subject.
Take Authority
In this chapter, Dr Lively reminds you that you have the authority to protect you child from homosexuality. Remember Protocol 1, Article 2: Right to education states:
‘In the exercise of any functions which it assumes in relation to education and to teaching, the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education and teaching is in conformity with their own religious and philosophical convictions.’
Don’t be intimidated by political correctness, don’t let gay activists claim any moral high ground, don’t go on the defensive, don’t use the language of the gays, never say you are ‘not homophobic’, don’t defer to ‘experts’ and don’t think activists will ever be reasonable.
Inform Yourself
The title of this chapter speaks for itself. A book like my own ‘Sexual Dead-End’ will inform you about the reality of the homosexual lifestyle. However, you must also get right into the word of God and be solid about how the Almighty has designed us and given us structures of society for our good.
No, homosexuality is not ‘normal’, no geneticist will agree that anyone is ‘born that way’ and for that matter no-one is ‘born in the wrong body’ either.
Strengthen Your Family
The Lord Jesus said: Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
Even if you are for whatever reason a single parent, you are still part of a God-designed system in which a man and a women join together to become one flesh and by God’‘s grace produce children.
Strengthen your family by worshipping together. That means not just praying together, although this would be a good time to build a daily rhythm of prayer, but talking together, eating together and generally doing things together. Both parents are important in a child’s life, but as children move into puberty, a father’s influence on children becomes stronger. A daughter looks to him to see what a man is supposed to be like. He affirms her femininity. When he does things with his son, story-teller Robert Bly said: ‘something almost like food passes from the father to the son.’
The lockdown will provide us even more opportunities to do things with our children. You need also to shield your children from exposure to gay propaganda and gay characters in the media, especially on TV, and teach chastity and faithfulness.
Improve Your Parenting Skills
Improving parenting skills will start with our attitude and approach to our wife or husband. Children learn by example, so Scott Lively recommends you build an atmosphere of virtue and discipline in your own life. Always build up and encourage each other and your children, never belittle, always look for something to compliment. Recognise we are all different and there has never been anyone like you or your child in the whole history of the world.
You need also to set an example with your gender roles and embrace these as God-given. Make sure your children know acting as a man or as a woman, doing man things and woman things is not a social construct but reflects the complimentary way we have been made for each other.
Clean House
Cleanliness may be next to Godliness, but it is spiritual cleanliness Dr Lively is talking about here. Build that thorn hedge of protection around your house and do not allow anything of Satan any room in your house. Be protective, know your adversary, monitor TV viewing (if any) as well as mobile phone and social media use.
Instead of using the home-schooling material from the BBC, look online for Christian teaching materials. I saw the BBC promoting David Attenborough, so never forget part of recruit-proofing your child is sharing about the wonders of God’s creation. Here at Wernlwyd we are always amazed at how God has designed our animals, plants and the whole of our environment. We long to share that with visitors, but that will have to wait for now.
Be Active in Your Community.
Lastly, Dr Lively urges us to be active in our community. He means being prophetic, and sets out a number of issues on which Christians need to be informed and vocal. This will be second-nature to members of Christian Voice but we can all benefit from Scott Lively’s wisdom and experience of the battles he himself has fought.
The Bible shows that we should never miss an opportunity to point out how much better are the ways of the Lord to those of the world. Whenever your child asks you a question, always ask ‘Why do you ask that? to find out what is at the root of the question. Whatever subject comes up, teaching righteousness about it to our children becomes part of life:
Deut 6:7 And thou shalt teach (God’s ways) diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
So make full use of this opportunity to teach your children. You might even get used to it and decide to make it full-time. In any case, keep giving them immunity against recruitment by Satan even when, or if, they return to school.
We appreciate your support – without it we can’t do our research and help inform your prayers.

Slide 14: So UK Public authorities now have a duty to promote homosexuality and transsexualism.
This is the 48-slide PowerPoint presentation Stephen was able to give to Kenya Christian Professionals, clergy, activists and dignitaries on 13th November in Nairobi.
Slide 1: Christian Voice UK: Praying for National Repentance, Working for Godly Government.
Slide 2: What we do: (1) We research and analyse events against scripture. (2) Our members pray for and witness to MP’s and those in public life. (3) We go on the streets leafleting with Evangelistic Prophetic Witness, such as when London Zoo held ‘Gay Sunday,’ a party for homosexuals, or as we did in Nairobi at the UNFPA Summit.
Slide 3: Marie Stopes abortion ‘clinic’ in south London – we kill 544 unborn children, legally, every day in GB. In America, they murder 3,700 each day. Slide 4: Marie Stopes Kenya – Clinic in Malindi. MSK stays open in Kenya by pretending they only offer contraception and post-abortion care. Marie Stopes abortion clinics operate openly all over Kenya.
Slide 5: However, a young British doctor, Linden Stocker, wrote this on the website of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 2011: ‘Whilst I was in Kenya I managed to organise spending 2 days a week at the Marie Stopes clinic in Kisumu. … They perform safe, completely illegal abortions for a cost equivalent of about £30.’ The cost in Kenya of a Marie Stopes abortion has since risen to around 10,000 Kenya Shillings.
Slide 6: Marie Stopes Kenya have over 20 clinics, from Kitale to Nairobi to Mombasa. MSK is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marie Stopes International, the world’s second biggest abortionist after IPPF. Moreover, KSh 10,000 is a fraction of the true cost of an MSK abortion. Marie Stopes abortions in Africa are heavily subsidised by the West. The UK Government leads the rest with a grant to MSI in 2018 of £48 million of taxpayers’ money. (NB: The Church in Kenya could close Marie Stopes by constant prayer vigils outside its facilities.)
Slide 7: Unborn baby at just 8 weeks Slide 8: Effects of suction abortion on African-American babies of (from top left) 7, 9, 10 and 11 weeks.
Slide 9: The Bible says: Num 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Psa 106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. Jer 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Slide 10: Homosexuality was legalised in the UK in 1967. Today, 100,000 homosexuals parade through London.
Slide 11: Jesus said: Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
Slide 12: Legalising homosexuality soon leads to Gvt promoting it. United Kingdom’s Equality Act 2010: Section 148 Public sector equality duty (1) A public authority must, in the exercise of its functions, have due regard to the need to- (a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under this Act; (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it; (c) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it. (4) Having due regard to the need to foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it involves having due regard, in particular, to the need to- (a) tackle prejudice, and (b) promote understanding.
Slide 13: (6) The relevant protected characteristics are: age; disability; gender reassignment; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation.
Slide 14: So UK Public authorities now have a duty to promote homosexuality and transsexualism.
Slide 15: Public authorities include Ministers of the Crown, Government Departments (except MI5, MI6 and GCHQ), The Armed Forces, National Health Service, County Councils, Police, Schools, Colleges and Universities.
Slide 16: Homosexual Police leading the London Gay Pride Parade. Slide 17: The police officer here in the front row of the Brighton Gay Pride Parade is the Chief Constable of Sussex. Note the homosexual desecration of the Union Jack. Slide 18: 5-year-old children are being subjected to homosexual propaganda at schools in England under the guise of ‘Relationships Education’ and transgenderism is being promoted. It’s very similar to the Comprehensive Sexuality Education demanded by UNFPA across Africa.
Slide 19: So, the UK then exports those evils. What David Cameron told homosexual activists at a party he gave for them in No 10 Downing Street on 22nd June 2011: ‘… an area where we have the ability to make progress, is the fact that gay people can be appallingly treated in other parts of the world, particularly in Africa.’
Slide 20: ‘(Foreign Aid) also has a spin-off benefit of giving us some moral authority (sic) in the world to talk to other leaders and governments about our relationship with them and what we expect from them. I’m very proud of the fact we [put] huge pressure on the leader of Malawi about an issue in that country but I‘m convinced we can do more. We have got the ability to speak to African leaders, African governments, about this issue that I know concerns everyone here tonight. And it concerns me.’ (David Cameron, UK Prime Minister)
Slide 21: Even before Mr Cameron’s speech, the Department for International Development had been promoting feminism and immorality in Africa: Social Marketing of Condoms [103545] To increase adoption of safer sexual practices among youth. Country: Kenya Budget: £15,031,330 Start Date: 01/01/2003
Slide 22: Young Voices for Change (SRH Rights and HIV/AIDS) CSCF345 [105559] Young Tanzanians (10-24) know, promote and enact their sexual and reproductive rights, including with regards to HIV/ AIDS. Budget: £499,934 Start Date: 01/04/2005
Slide 23: Western money is promoting wickedness across Africa: Not one African NGO promoting Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights (that’s abortion, LGBT and feminism) is African-funded. Every single one has its staff and expenses paid by the West. So let’s follow the money …
Slide 24: Rich US homosexual Jon Stryker set up the ‘Arcus Foundation’ to advance gay rights world-wide. He admitted the money going to Africa to promote sodomy was around $12,000,000 / year from NGO’s alone in 2010. How much is flooding in today?
Slide 25: 2015-16, top ten funders of money to Sub-Saharan Africa for LGBT (Source: ‘Global Resources Report): 1 Government of Sweden $14,454,266 2 Open Society Foundations (Soros) $4,097,626 3 Hivos (Netherlands) $3,218,406 4 American Jewish World Service $3,084,250 5 Arcus Foundation (USA) $2,716,639 6 Government of Norway $2,537,539 7 UHAI-EASHRI (Kenya) $2,323,769 8 Government of Denmark $2,166,635 9 Ford Foundation (USA) $2,144,550 10 Global Equality Fund (USA) $2,033,860 Total for just the top ten: $38,777,540
Slide 26: 2015-16, top recipients of money for LGBT (Source: ‘Global Resources Report) include: 3 Dept for Int Dev (RSA) $5,424,750 9 IPPF (London) $3,641,407 10 UHAI-EASHRI (Kenya) $3,497,086
Slide 27: Note above, Nairobi-based UHAI-EASHRI was listed as a donor of $2,323,769 in 2015/16 but a recipient of $3,497,086. A cool $1.1m went on their ‘6-25′ staff and office expenses. UHAI EASHRI, established by Ford Foundation in 2009, claims to be ‘Africa’s first indigenous activist fund for sex workers and sexual and gender minorities’. But it is entirely funded by the West, not just by Ford Foundation (US), but Sigrid Rausing Trust & Baring Fdn ( both UK), Astrea Lesbian Fdn, Tides Fdn, Arcus Fdn, Urgent Action Fund, Atlantic Philanthropies, Fdn for a Just Society (all US) and others. (‘UHAI’ is an acronym but also means ‘life’ in Swahili.)
Slide 28: In an article on Saturday 23rd November 2019, the Nation newspaper revealed ‘Kenya’s best and worst paying jobs’ It said: ‘foreign-backed NGOs employed a total of 1,345 staff and 270 of them earned more than Sh100,000 monthly, making the agencies a magnet for those seeking or wanting to change jobs.’ Nowhere is that more true than in Kenya’s immoral NGOs.
Slide 29: In January 2011, The European Union gave a 300,000 Euro grant to promote gay rights in Cameroon to a group of pro-gay CSO’s led by the ‘Association to Defend Homosexuals‘. Cameroon’s Foreign Minister Henri Eyebe Ayissi summoned the head of the EU delegation in Cameroon to protest against the funding of groups that “violate the laws of Cameroon.” But the grant still went ahead.
Slide 30: Funding for Kenyan LGBT groups includes: Given to: National Gay & Lesbian Human Rights Commission (NG&LHRC): (Yes, there is such a group!) By: Sigrid Rausing Trust (UK): £180,000 over three years (2016-19).
Slide 31: The accounts of NG&LHRC show its total income in 2016 was Ksh 15,976,147
Slide 32: Here’s the NG&LHRC logo, desecrating the Kenyan flag.
Slide 33: There is also a ‘Gay & Lesbian Coalition of Kenya’ (G&LCK) which received $100,000 from Arcus Foundation in 2019. It also received funding from Open Society Foundations, Astrea, Hivos, UHAI, Coalition of African Lesbians, Kenya National Commission for Human Rights, Kenya Human Rights Commission, Kelin Kenya, National Coalition of Human Rights Defenders (Kenya), and the International Commission of Jurists, Kenya Section.
Slide 33: Kenya Human Rights Commission: From Sigrid Rausing Trust (UK):£100,000 in 2019. Also, ‘The KHRC relies on donations from individuals and from organisations such as:’ the Swedish Int. Dev. Agency, Christian Aid, Trocaire, Danish Int. Dev. Agency, UN Dev. Programme, UNIFEM, Canadian Int. Dev. Agency and Ford Fdn. It started as a genuine human rights group, but in May 2011 the KHRC issued a report which called on the government to decriminalise homosexuality. That’s when the funds started rolling in.
Slide 34: Since 2012, the Kenyan Human Rights Commission has been primarily funded by the Ford Foundation of the USA at $200,000 per year. The KHRC even wanted to bring in a Hate Crimes Law in Kenya to prevent pastors preaching against homosexuality. Chairman: Prof. Makau Mutua Executive Director: George Kegoro
Slide 35: George Kigoro in full flow.
Slide 36: Prof Matua was in Kampala in 2010 in February at a conference – again funded by the Ford Foundation – to oppose David Bahati’s Bill against promotion of LGBT. The Ford Foundation is just one of around twenty NGO’s giving money to Ugandan gay groups. But let’s get back to Arcus Foundation …
Slide 37: In 2018, Arcus gave ‘more than $15 million’ ‘to organizations working to advance social justice for LGBT people around the world.’ Recent funding from Arcus Foundation alone to LGBT-advancing groups in Kenya: 2019: Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya $100,000 2019: Persons Marginalised & Aggrieved (PEMA – Mombasa) $140,000 2019: Transgender Education and Advocacy: $100,000 2014-2018: Pembizo Christian Council $391,000 (to ‘create counter-narrative to condemning religious voices’) 2011-2018: UHAI EASHRI $1,720,000: (‘funding for LGBT biannual conference in Africa. For Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda.’)
Slide 38: 2016: Network of African National Human Rights Institutions (NANHRI) Nairobi $200,000 (‘Support to the African regional platform of government-appointed human-rights institutions seeking to include LGBT rights as human rights, with a pilot project in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, and Uganda.’) 2013-2016: Other Sheep Africa $140,000 (‘to increase LGBTIQ acceptance within the Muslim community in 12 provinces of Kenya.’) 2016: The East African Documentary Film Fund $20,000 2014: Chemchemi Ya Ukweli (‘Fountain of Truth’!) $50,000 (Together for Transformation project, pilot LGBT training program for Muslim & Christian religious leaders.)
Slide 39: 2010 – 2012: Fahamu (Nairobi) $458,066 (‘Strengthen and expand African LGBT movement … partnerships, … with African governments and private multi-national and other corporations in collaboration with UHAI-EASRHI.) 2010: Akiba Uhaki Foundation $200,000 (‘support of the programmatic and convening activities of UHAI-EASRHI Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi.’) (‘Akiba Uhaki’ sort of means ‘supply justice’.) Plus South Africa LGBT projects in: Western Cape Provincial Council of Churches, Inclusive & Affirming Ministries, Southern African Christian Initiative.

Slide 45: To stop evil coming from the West, we recommend: (1) African, Asian and Caribbean members unite at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, the next is in Kigali, Rwanda in June 2020, and put down resolutions defending life and family. (2) Forums like the African Union and the Caribbean Union should state their rejection of immorality and foreign aid intended to corrupt public morality. (3) Make it clear at diplomatic levels that aid donors must respect traditional family values. (4) Bring in local laws to prevent promotion of evil.
46 Local laws need to be passed to prevent money intended to promote sodomy and abortion in Africa from reaching its targets. We suggest: (1) Make it illegal to corrupt public morality – in particular to promote LGBT or abortion. (2) Proscribe the foreign NGO’s involved and deny their representatives visas, (3) Require local recipient organisations to open their accounts to discover their income, (4) Seize foreign monies promoting immorality.

Slide 47: Christian Voice is glad to address governments, civil servants, members of parliament across Africa, Asia and the Caribbean on this issue and provide information to resist immorality. More research needs to be done to identify all the governments, ngos, cso’s, projects and amounts involved. And, lastly, thank God Africa is starting to move, as they say in Ghana: Beyond Aid

Naturally, Tory peer Sayeeda, Baroness Warsi, criticised the Tories, arguing they are ‘trying to whitewash past problems.’
Meanwhile, the Jewish Chronicle was forced to defend itself from criticism by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, of all people. They said the publication of the Phillips piece was ‘an error’. They went on: “Anti-Muslim prejudice is very real and it is on the rise. Our community must stand as allies to all facing racism.”
But Islam is not a race, it’s an ideology. As the Guardian put it: Melanie Phillips said ‘the entire concept of Islamophobia was “profoundly anti-Jew” and had been invented to mimic antisemitism, adding: “To equate it with the dehumanising, insane and essentially murderous outpourings of Jew-hatred is obscene”.’
‘Denial, dismissal and deceit’
Sayeeda, Baroness Warsi wants Tory ‘Islamophobia’ probe to go further.
Baroness Warsi criticised the appointment of Prof Swaran Singh as chairman of the Tory probe. She said the Sikh Professor of Social and Community Psychiatry believes ‘that institutional racism simply doesn’t exist’.
“That gives an indication of where the inquiry will end up,” she said.
The Muslim Council of Britain said the appointment of Professor Singh was “at risk of being seen in the same light as the Conservative Party’s customary approach to Islamophobia, that of denial, dismissal and deceit”.
Islamophobia ‘invented by Muslim Brotherhood’
However, Melanie Phillips contends ‘Islamophobia’ was invented by the Muslim Brotherhood as a tit-for-tat response to antisemitism. A ‘phobia’ is an irrational fear or hatred. For example, ‘claustrophobia’ is an irrational fear of enclosed spaces. From the secularist side, homosexual activists invented the term ‘homophobia’ for the same reason. Their intention was to stifle debate and cast their opponents as deranged. Neither ideology, that of Islam nor that of Secularism, can ever be immune from criticism.
Melanie Phillips writes: ‘So “Islamophobia” appropriates to itself the unique attribute of antisemitism — that it is deranged — in order falsely to label any adverse comment about the Islamic world as a form of mental disorder.
‘The concept of “Islamophobia” is thus profoundly anti-Jew. To equate it with the dehumanising, insane and essentially murderous outpourings of Jew-hatred is obscene.’
Anti-Jewish violence
Police images of two boys accused of antisemitic abuse and violence against a rabbi in North London. Images stitched together by Press Association
A criminal event yesterday could not have better timed to illustrate Melanie Phillips’ point. Two boys were arrested after shouting antisemitic abuse at a rabbi and then beating him up. The attack happened last month in Clapton, North London.
The unnamed religious leader was set upon by two attackers shortly before 10pm on 29th November. They shouted ‘F**k Jews’, ‘Dirty Jew’ and ‘Kill the Jews’ as he walked in Amhurst Park.
Police released CCTV images. Despite the two wearing hoodies, a relative recognised the boys, aged 14 and 15. They handed themselves in to police on Tuesday 17th December. The two are due to appear at Stratford Youth Court on 7th January 2020.
Repeatedly punched
According to Jewish News, Jewish neighbourhood patrol group Shomrim said the rabbi had left the Bobov Synagogue in Egerton Road after a wedding. He was walking along Clapton Common when he was assaulted.
‘The two attackers repeatedly punched him, threw him to the ground and carried on beating him, only stopping when a member of the public intervened.’
Shomrim said the rabbi sits in a Judaic court as a judge. He was left “collapsed on the pavement, bleeding and dazed, where he lay for several minutes”.
Fellow rabbi Herschel Gluck said the victim was left “bruised and traumatised” by his ordeal.
It is quite plain from the CCTV images that the boys in question are not members of a white supremacist group. They have learned their anti-Jewish hatred from another source.
Islamophobia and Identity Politics
Antisemitism is not just an academic matter. Nor is it confined to pro-Palestinian Labour Party MPs and Momentum types. It is real, it is racist, and it finds expression in actual personal abuse and violence.
Hallmark Channel has irritated both One Million Moms and US gay activists.
Hallmark Channel has irritated both One Million Moms and US gay activists.
A greetings card company has managed to irritate both US conservatives and gay activists.
Firstly, the Hallmark Channel on Pay TV allowed adverts featuring two lesbians kissing. Secondly, in response to a petition from One Million Moms (1MM), they banned the ads. Thirdly, after a Twitter storm from the usual suspects, they allowed the offending material to continue.
Today’s is a world of identity politics. Those in the easily-offended immoral groups make a lot of noise. But they are a minute part of the market and need not be taken seriously.
Hallmark should have stood firm on their ban decision. Instead, they have provided a text-book study in how not to walk through a china shop.
Hallmark Channel
Hallmark Cards runs the Hallmark Channel through its subsidiary Crown Media Holdings, Inc.
According to Wikipedia, The channel’s programming is ‘primarily targeted at families, and features a mix of television movies and miniseries, original and acquired television series, and lifestyle programs.’
The Channel is available to almost 100million households with pay TV in the United States. Wikipedia goes on: ‘Despite largely being an apolitical brand, Hallmark Channel has garnered a following among politically conservative viewers in suburban and rural areas who, according to Manhattan Institute for Policy Research’s Steven Malanga in a Los Angeles Times op-ed, feel the network and its original programming feed their desire to “express traditional family values and also to steer away from political themes and stories that denigrate religion”.’
Zola not that gay
A still from the Zola Ad – no, we are not going to show the dirty girls kissing.
The adverts were promoting Zola, a wedding planning company. In truth, there are not that many gay-weddings pictured on their website. Zola, like Hallmark, know their market. And it’s heterosexual.
Yes, they do cater for gays and lesbians. You can find their pictures usually half-way down the page. Maybe gays and lesbians occupy 2% of their market. A Zola spokesman insisted ‘all kisses, couples and marriages are equal celebrations of love’. Nevertheless, their core market is heterosexual.
So the ads, and the confected row, are mere virtue-, no, vice-signalling.
Social media backlash
The BBC reports, ‘The company’s cable network pulled the ads … under pressure from the conservative group One Million Moms.’
The decision, they say, ‘drew criticism on social media and calls for a boycott.’
The original decision to withdraw the adverts drew criticism from a number of high-profile gay figures, including homosexual Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
New York Times reported, ‘Trending on Sunday were the hashtags #boycotthallmark and #BoycottHallmarkChannel, with more than 8,000 tweets mostly from users identifying themselves as L.G.B.T. families, allies and Hallmark viewers.’
Would the Hallmark Channel even notice if a load of people who are not viewers continued not to view?
And no, New York Times, the two young women in the advert are not ‘brides’.
Apology
Mike Perry, Hallmark president and CEO, has made a mistake by caving in to gay activist group GLAAD
Hallmark said it would reinstate the adverts and attempt to re-establish its partnership with Zola.
“We are truly sorry for the hurt and disappointment this has caused,” said Hallmark’s president and chief executive Mike Perry.
To make matters worse, Hallmark said it would lick the boots of gay activist media group GLAAD. It would “be working with Glaad to better represent the LGBTQ community across our portfolio of brands.” Maybe he is not serious, but there was no reason to roll over like that.
‘seathom play’ on Youtube volunteered: ‘Who is Hallmark going to listen to? A million moms or a few angry lesbians, gays and SJW’s? They know their audience.’
But do they? Hallmark have overturned a solid commercial decision in return for identity-politics brownie points. Mr Perry is in grave danger of limiting or even souring his market rather than expanding it. As 1MM put it: ‘You will lose viewers if you cave to the LBGT agenda.’
Hallmark Personnel
Cynthia (Cindy) Mahoney, another Hallmark CEO, and on the board of UK Hallmark Cards PLC
American Cynthia (Cindy) Mahoney is either co-President and CEO of Hallmark International or ex-president. The above Mike Perry was appointed to those roles in June 2019.
In any event, Ms Mahoney sits on the board of Hallmark Cards PLC in the UK. Australian Amanda Del Prete is Managing Director of the UK arm.
Both women were appointed to their positions in December 2018 after the resignation of then CEO Steve Wright. At the time, the company claimed: “These changes will continue to strengthen the leadership team as our priorities continue to be both a creative and customer-focused business.”
UK Turnover and profit down
Amanda Del Prete, Hallmark Cards PLC Managing Director, is skilled in Brand Management
Nevertheless In the UK Hallmark’s card business is not doing so well. Turnover in 2018 (at £134m) was down 5.3% on the previous year. An operating profit of £1.4m in 2017 gave way to an operating loss of £2.3m. Only sales of assets nudged the company’s Profit & Loss sheet into the black.
The company paid no dividend to its shareholders in 2018. According to the business social network site LinkedIn, Amanda Del Prete is skilled in Customer Insight, Consumer Products and Brand Management.
Be that as it may, she inevitably blamed the fall on Brexit leading to a fall in the pound. The MD still grabbed £522,653 in ’emoluments’.
Totally irritated
One Graham Shoebridge reviewing Hallmark on TrustPilot last year said: ‘The small shop in Marshallswick St Albans used to be so good, cheap and professional. Now staff are decidedly rude, lazy and complacent. They talk non-stop to each other, leaving customers feeling totally irritated.’
On their petition page, 1MM claim to have spoken ‘with Crown Media Family Networks CEO Bill Abbott’. They say he ‘confirmed Hallmark Channel has pulled the Zola.com commercial’. Furthermore, ‘the Hallmark Channel will continue to be a safe and family friendly network’. 1MM say they ‘thanked him on behalf of all our supporters.’ They praise the Lord and conclude ‘No further action is needed!’
Beady eye
No doubt 1MM will be watching Hallmark Channel from now on with a beady eye. Mike Perry’s vice-signalling over GLAAD was ill-advised.
Neverthless, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. If there is no repeat and no introduction of LGBT content, 1MM will be pacified. However, if there is, expect them to become totally irritated and Hallmark Channel to fall. the Lord answers his people’s prayers. It may not just be UK profits at risk.
Joel 2:11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

We also reported on her action against a pro-life church in Nairobi. But she has won a string of awards, so are we missing something?
Political and family life
Wikipedia describes her thus: ‘Esther Muthoni Passaris OGW is a Kenyan social entrepreneur, philanthropist and politician. She is the Nairobi County women representative in the bicameral Kenyan parliament, and a member of the Orange Democratic Movement Political Party.’
Honorable Esther M Passaris was born in Mombasa to a Greek father and a Kenyan Kikuyu mother. She attended the Aga Khan Academies for her primary and secondary education. She has been Nairobi Women Representative since 2013. She is – or was, some reports say she is divorce or separated – married to businessman Pius Mbugua Ngugi. They have two children together; Makenna Maria (24) and Lefteris Pierce (20)
Second wife
Pius Ngugi is a Kshilling billionaire and one of the most influential and wealthy persons in Kenya. He originates from Kiambu County, Kenya, but an article on TUKO says ‘details on his early life are not clear to the public’. Pius Mbugua founded two companies, Kenya Nut and Thika Coffee Mills, which he owns to date. The farmer is Kenya’s leading exporter of macadamia nuts. Mr Ngugi is also involved with the Tatu City project, and Kenya Alliance Insurance.
Esther Passaris is reportedly content with her husband’s affairs, claiming: ‘Because a man is not my God, my God is only one.’ Ms Passaris is a Roman Catholic.
https://www.kenyans.co.ke/news/43029-5-popular-politicians-you-didnt-know-were-2nd-wives Furthermore, Ms Passaris is, or was, in a polygamous setup with Pius Ngugi. Mr Ngugi is also married to Josephine Wambui Ngugi. They have children together. And she has sadly been having continual trouble with her back.
Entrepreneur
The MP, 53, is obviously well connected and provided for, but she is aldso an entrepreneur in her own right Vital Voices describes her as ‘a skilled marketing and public relations professional with over 20 years’ experience’. It claims she established two businesses, ‘namely Adopt A Light and Shaper Images Ltd.’ There is scant (actually none, except for the Vital Voices reference) evidence of a Kenyan ‘Shaper Images Ltd’ (or even ‘Sharper Images’) on the web, but what of ‘Adopt A Light’?
The company is based in Alpha Centre on Mombasa Road, Nairobi. Its website says it aims ‘to steer advertising revenues into community development. The company was inspired by the need to achieve safer cities through the provision of adequate street lighting.’
‘Ever-growing financial constraints’ mean Kenyan city councils find it ‘impossible’ ‘to install and maintain all existing streetlights’, says the About page. Adopt a Light sells advertising and pays a rent to the city to enable it to maintain that particular street lamp. To be fair, that is a clever and socially-responsible idea. Esther Passaris chairs the company.
Pro-life posters
But it precisely this idea, and this company, which cast Esther Passaris herself in an unfavourable light.
Pro-life billboards in Nairobi were ordered down by Esther Passaris.
Sozo Church, (Facebook page here) pastored by Reverend Catherine Oganga, paid for no fewer than thirteen billboards and posters on street lighting.
These were sited strategically near traffic lights and electricity poles along Nairobi’s main roads. The messages read: ‘Abortion is Murder!’, ‘Shut down abortion clinics!’ and had pictures of pre-born babies. Another read: ‘Your mother gave you a chance, it wasn’t easy then too. Give your baby a chance!’
International Planned Parenthood is now based in Nairobi. Marie Stopes has four facilities in the city. Its Eastleigh clinic specialises in ‘pregnancy crisis management’. So it was not surprising that pro-abortion activists soon saw the posters, got together and complained to Hon Passaris.
The Daily Nation newspaper observed: ‘… suffice to say that several NGOs — obviously with more spending power than Kageni-Oganga and her Sozo Church of God — had raised hackles against the billboards which they said were stigmatising women and girls seeking access to safe and legal abortion services.’
Esther Passaris first gave a verbal notice to Sozo Church of God notifying the church that Adopt-a-light would pull down the billboards.
Next, a terse text from the firm associated with the Nairobi Woman Representative said: “Kindly note that we are not able to continue advertising for you as per our earlier communication. I had informed you very clearly that it is not possible to continue. Thanks.”
However, Sozo say the MP then took matters into her own hands and pulled down the pro-life billboards herself, without, said Sozo, a notice or refund to the church.
Nation reports, however: ‘The advertising firm has told the preacher that it would be refunding all the monies owed so the contract can be legally terminated.’ We are currently unable to report they have done so.
Petition
Nevertheless, Pastor Oganga, who took personal charge of the billboards project, is considering legal action.
She also has a petition on CitizenGo appealing to His Excellency Mike Sonko, Governor of Nairobi, who is known for being strongly pro-life.
Interestingly, Hon Esther Passaris is also currently involved in a bizarre row with Governor Sonko, centred around what he says was an invitation to visit a room in Nairobi’s Intercontinental Hotel.
Pro-abortion NGOs
The pro-abortion NGO’s dragged up some paid activists to protest against Sozo’s posters.
The Nation blames the move to take down the posters on a ‘coalition of pro-choice NGOs’ who ‘went into a celebratory mood, announcing the victory’ as soon as Rep Passaris took them down. ‘Success. The billboards came down in May’ they whooped, going on to describe them as ‘inaccurate and inflammatory anti-abortion billboards.’ Quite what was inaccurate they didn’t say, although we would not expect detail from that side.
Religion Unplugged names the eleven NGOs as the Center for Reproductive Rights, along with ‘the Federation of Women Lawyers, Trust for Indigenous Culture and Health, Network for Adolescent and Youth of Africa, Red Tape, Ipas-Health Access Rights, Right Here Right Now, Kelin, Xhale Africa, Women’s Link Worldwide, and Reproductive Health Network Kenya.’
We have not researched the financial details of every one, yet, but it is safe to say not one is funded by Kenyan money. Every single one of them will be receiving cash from pro-abortion foundations, companies and governments in the West.
Esther Passaris and ‘She Decides’
Hon Passaris gushes about herself: ‘Kenyan social entrepreneur, philanthropist, and politician. She is the Nairobi County women representative in the bicameral Kenyan parliament and a She Decides Kenya champion.’
So what is this ‘She Decides’? We looked it up. The vision of She Decides is ‘A world where every girl and woman can decide what to do with her body, with her life and with her future. Without question.’ In other words, it is a hardline abortion-on-demand campaign.
She Decides Kenya was launched on 2nd March 2019 by ‘the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Kenya, together with the Center for Reproductive Rights Africa Program and the Reproductive Health Network Kenya’. There’s a surprise! The Dutch and two of the 11 NGOs which objected to the Sozo pro-life posters are funding ‘She Decides Kenya’.
The webpage on She Decides says: ‘With the launch of SheDecides Kenya, we hope to bring together partners and stakeholders to build pressure on the Government of Kenya to sign into the SheDecides manifesto. The launch will also be used to raise awareness on SheDecides and the effects of the global gag rule among Kenyans.’ She Decides is a lobbying and propaganda machine. Should foreign embassies and NGOs be interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign nations? You decide.
UNFPA in Kibera
Dr. Natalia Kanem promoting ‘reproductive rights’ with pro-abortion Kenyan MP Esther Passaris. Note the UNFPA back-drop.
Back in March 2019, Esther Passaris took the head of UNFPA, Dr Natalia Kanem along to the Kibera informal settlement in Nairobi. No doubt they took armed bodyguards, because UNFPA described the area pejoratively as a ‘slum’.
In reality, the settlement is a place where people are trying to earn a living, mirroring the world-wide trend of movement from the countryside to cities. This author moved in the opposite direction, but that’s another story.
Every charity, NGO and UN agency wants a piece of Kibera. There are probably more jobs dependent on Kibera than the people in it. Anyway, the two immediately promoted ‘reproductive rights’ which is UN-speak for abortion on demand.
Women’s Parliamentary Caucus
Esther Passaris affirmed in Kibera her intention to work in the Kenyan Parliament with the Women’s Parliamentary Caucus to support the work of UNFPA. She unashamedly played the feminist card. However, defending abortion depends on feminism and feminism, according to feminist activists, depends on abortion (although pro-life feminists do exist). ‘Every woman should also able to access’ family planning, she said.
‘As Kenyan women we’re committed to your cause and will lobby with other policy makers to pass legislation that is favourable to women’s rights and their advancement,’ added the pro-abortion MP. Hon Passaris seriously believes women are advanced by killing their children in what should be the safest place on God’s earth..
Passaris on homosexuality
Abortion is illegal in Kenya, except to save the life of the mother (not her ‘lifestyle’, as in the West.) Sodomy and other practices against nature are also against the law. Sections 162 and 165 of the Penal Code criminalises same sex unions and offenders face up to 14 years in jail. Moreover, the Kenyan Constitution does not recognise sexual relationships between people of same gender.
That has not stopped Hon Esther Passaris expressing support for homosexuality. However, she has not expressed such views inside the Kenyan parliament in any speech that we can discover.
Took to Twitter
On the contrary, in May this year, she took to Twitter to express her opinion over what the Standard newspaper described as ‘the emotive issue of same-sex marriage.’
‘In her post on her Twitter wall, she said: “I choose not to judge. Who are we to deny two consenting adults the joy of love and sex? It’s time for us to live and let live. I wouldn’t want to see any LGBTIQ+ Kenyan killed or thrown in jail just for being different”.’
The expression ‘LGBTIQ+’ is straight out of the gay campaigners’ handbook. Her stance led to a storm of protest from other Twitter users. One said: ‘I thought u were better than this ?? We Africans will not allow such culture into our society. Let each organ play its designated role dont tempt God.’
https://af.reuters.com/article/topNews/idAFKCN1SU1M7-OZATP
Her post came as the High Court of Kenya ruled that same-sex marriage and relationships remain illegal and a criminal offence.
The TUKO website reported that three days later: ‘Speaking in an interview with Radio Maisha on Monday, May 27, the vocal politician claimed there are many homosexuals in government offices, business spaces, family circles who Kenyans should learn to live with in harmony and accept them for who they are.’
Gay ‘blonde moment’
Esther Passaris has not adopted her pro-gay views recently. Back in 2015 she jumped to what she thought was the defence of a homosexual athlete, only to find out ‘Gay’ was the man’s name.
The Nairobi Star gloated: ‘Replying to a tweet by Daily Nation titled “Drug-cheat Gay costs USA Olympic relay silver” , Passaris asked “@dailynation what’s gay got to do with it?.”
‘Of course she thought Gay in this case meant sexual orientation, while in real sense it’s the name of the athlete – Tyson Gay.’
The paper went on: ‘You can imagine how KOT (Kenyans on Twitter) roasted her.’ Many lampooned her light skin while Nairobi News accused her of a ‘blonde moment’. (We should clarify Christian Voice does not regard blonde people in general as stupid, although it certainly was the blonde women queuing up for the Nairobi UNFPA Summit on Tuesday 12th November who were more inclined to refuse a pro-life leaflet than any other group.)
‘El Cholo’ said ‘Passaris proved that lightskin theory.’ Later that afternoon, @EstherPassaris owned up to ‘definitely a blonde moment. Guilty as charged.’
A string of awards
In 2008 Esther Passaris was awarded the Order of Grand Warrior of Kenya (OGW) by then President of Kenya, Mwai Kibaki. She has also been given a string of other awards by the right-on global elite.
She received the ‘Exceptional Women of Excellence’ Award at the Women Economic Forum 2019 in India, New Delhi.
Also this year Rep Passaris received the Outstanding African Community Figure Award from Voice Achievers. This was ‘for her contribution to the advancement of women and youth in Kenya.’ (Voice Achievers Award is given to leaders who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in the political, corporate and social sphere.}
According to Wikipedia, other awards include:
2016 Most influential women in business and government by CEO Global, South Africa
2009 UN Habitat Business Awards by UN Habitat
2006 Mashiriki Innovations in Local Governance Award and National Human Settlement Award also by UN-HABITAT. That same year, Adopt-A-Light won Company of the Year Award.
2004 Hon Passaris was awarded the Eve Woman of the Year Award, Make a Difference Award and the Mayoral Achievement Award.
National Assembly
Wikipedia also tells us ‘In the National Assembly, Hon. Passaris is an active member of the Committee on Health and the Special Funds Account Committee. She is also a founding member of the Kenya Parliamentary Caucus on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) & an active member of the Kenyan chapter of the African Parliamentarians Against Corruption (APNAC). ‘Internationally, Hon Passaris is a member of the Global Tuberculous Caucus and the Global Equality Caucus.
‘Esther Passaris is a known public figure in Kenya, who has sparked some controversy by her statements about other Kenyan politicians and businessmen. She has been a runner-up in Miss Kenya contest and is actively campaigning for the rights of women in Kenya.’
Feminist, pro-gay, pro-abortion
Esther Passaris is good at promoting herself.
Some will accuse us of being one-sided, but we found it difficult to discover anything positive Esther Passaris has achieved as a ‘social entrepreneur’ apart from a football team.
Instead, a search of her name alone drags up a mixed bag of references. She is certainly a ‘skilled marketing and public relations professional’ but seems to put that to best use promoting herself. It is strange to find someone who is so completely pro-feminist, pro-abortion and pro-gay representing voters in socially-conservative Kenya.
CitizenGo Africa says: ‘As evident in her and friends’ social media she has been in meetings funded by pro-abortion groups and always promises these abortionists her support and her availability. While she pushes for the interests of these abortionists, she has forgotten those that voted for her are pro-life.’ The group calls for a National Assembly motion to have Rep Passaris removed from public office.
In any event, the next parliamentary elections to the National Assembly will take place in August 2022. There is time for Hon Esther Passaris, OGW, MP either to repent or to dig herself into an even deeper hole.
Ezek 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. … 23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? (KJV)
Ambassadors of eleven nations held a press conference to condemn the ICPD25 Nairobi Summit and UNFPA
Ambassadors of eleven nations held a press conference to condemn the ICPD25 Nairobi Summit and UNFPA
A joint statement by eleven nations on the last day of the UNFPA Summit in Nairobi condemned UNFPA without mentioning the UN population agency by name.
The UN’s Fund for Population activities had hoped the jamboree would pass off without controversy. They wanted to counter ‘the push-back’ against homosexuality and abortion in the developing world. They would be disappointed.

Press conference
Firstly, the United States, flanked by ambassadors from Brazil, Belarus, Egypt, Haiti, Hungary, Libya, Poland, Senegal, St. Lucia, and Uganda, held a press conference on 14th November 2019.
The US Special Representative for Global Women’s Health, Valerie Huber read a Statement. This reminded ‘both those gathered and those watching’ of the original aims of ICPD. The International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) was held in Cairo in 1994. Its stated objectives and actions seem dated now. They saw ‘critical challenges and interrelationships between population and sustained economic growth’. They placed it ‘in the context of sustainable development.’
Before the Statement, the Press Conference heard from Kenyan MPs Hon Chris Wamalwa, and Hon Jennifer Shamalla. Although Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy William Rutu steered clear of abortion and homosexuality when opening and closing the Summit respectively, these two MPs gave the press corps both barrels.
Parallel Conference
Secondly, Kenya Christian Professionals organised their own conference and also issued a statement. International ambassadors also addressed one session.
According to C-Fam, ‘The parallel conference included a high-level intergovernmental event with government representatives of the United States, Hungary, Poland, Brazil, Kenya and the Holy See Nuncio. They affirmed their governments commitment to policy that foster strong families and protects unborn life and criticized UNFPA for going beyond the mandate established at the ICPD 25 years ago.
The concern of the Eleven was that UNFPA and the Scandinavian nations behind the 2019 Nairobi Summit were taking the 1994 Cairo Declaration too far.
A pre-summit document from UNFPA spoke of an ‘ambition’. This was ‘how countries can move towards universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights’. That would be ‘an essential part of universal health coverage’.
‘Sexual rights’ is shorthand for liberalising laws against homosexuality, while ‘reproductive rights’ refers to abortion.
1994 Cairo Declaration
Helpfully, UNFPA itself carries the original 1994 Cairo Declaration on its website. There are three mentions of ‘reproductive health’. All are in the context of family planning. But national governments must respect ‘their own national and cultural identity, values and tradition’.
There is no mention of ‘reproductive rights’, ‘sexual health’ or ‘sexual rights’ in the Cairo Declaration at all. Consequently there is no ‘reproductive right’ to abortion’. However the Declaration was not explicitly pro-life. It called upon national Governments ‘to reduce the need for abortion by providing universal access to family planning information and services.’
Contraception increases abortion
The Declaration blithely assumes that ‘access to family planning information and services’ reduces ‘the need for abortion’. However, that is simply not true.
Eighteen years before Cairo, British abortionist Dr Judith Bury, of Brook Advisory Centres, let the cat out of the bag. In 1981 she said “…women…have come to request [abortions] when contraception fails. There is overwhelming evidence that, contrary to what you might expect, the provision of contraception leads to an increase in the abortion rate.”
Comprehensive Sexuality Education
The Nairobi Summit was also promoting what is termed ‘Comprehensive Sexuality Education’ or CSE. This assault on the innocence of children figures nowhere in the Cairo Declaration.
Indeed, education in the Declaration had one single purpose. It was set solely in the context of increasing the wellbeing of women and girls. It would do that by bettering their health-care and developing their opportunities. Yes, it spoke of the feminist mantra of ‘women’s empowerment’. But ‘sex education’ of any kind was not there.
ICPD Program of Action
The UNFPA draw heavily on the ICPD Program of Action. This document, parallel to the Cairo Declaration, runs to 296 pages. It does contain references to ‘reproductive rights’ but these are nowhere defined, let alone to include a supposed ‘right’ to abortion. Indeed, the Government of Honduras entered a reservation in the document to clarify matters. It said the terms “‘reproductive rights’ and ‘sexual rights'” … “do not include ‘abortion’ or ‘termination of pregnancy’.”
There is no reference to ‘legalisation of abortion’ or ‘legal abortion’. Indeed, the Programme states:
‘7.24 Governments should take appropriate steps to help women avoid abortion, which in no case should be promoted as a method of family planning, and in all cases provide for the humane treatment and counselling of women who have had recourse to abortion.’
Consensus
The Program of Action was passed by consensus. It was then ‘endorsed by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in its resolution 49/128 of December 19, 1994.’ ‘Consensus’ is important in interantional law. If enough nations agree on something it begins to have a certain standing.
Therefore the 2019 Statement of the Eleven nations clarifies this point. ‘UN Member States were able to join consensus because the ICPD Program of Action preamble paragraph 1.15 made clear that the conference did not create any new international human rights, and that “the implementation of the recommendations contained in the Programme of Action is the sovereign right of each country, consistent with national laws and development priorities, with full respect for the various religious and ethical values and cultural backgrounds of its people, and in conformity with universally recognized international human rights”.’
Ambiguous terms
When it came to the ‘rights’ element in the context of ‘consensus’ the Eleven did not hold back. ‘We are also concerned about the content of some of the key priorities of this Summit. We do not support references in international documents to ambiguous terms and expressions, such as sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), which do not enjoy international consensus, nor contemplates the reservations and caveats incorporated into the Cairo outcome.
‘In addition, the use of the term SRHR may be used to actively promote practices like abortion. There is no international right to abortion; in fact, international law clearly states that “[e]veryone has the right to life” (e.g. Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights). ‘
No transparency
The 2019 Statement also condemned the Nairobi Summit for lack of transparency and inclusiveness. Cairo ‘was negotiated and implemented with and by the entire UN General Assembly membership’. In contrast, ‘only a small handful of governments were consulted on the planning and modalities of the 2019 Nairobi Summit’. (Mostly it was the Scandinavians.)
It follows, ‘outcomes from this summit are not intergovernmentally negotiated, nor are they the result of a consensus process. As a result, they should not be considered normative, nor should they appear in future documents as intergovernmentally-agreed language.’
Pro-family and pro-life nations will no doubt be on the alert for any sign of UNFPA language creeping in international documents. UNFPA will never bring its works to the light of the full UN. The Statement of the Eleven is clear. Without such universal acceptance, ‘no ICPD follow-on document has consensual weight or standing amongst governments.’
The value of Trump
It is worth saying that such a statement would never have been possible if Hilary Clinton had been elected President of the United States in 2016, the Statement of the Eleven would never have happened. It is only because of the staunch pro-life stand of the Trump administration that the 2019 Nairobi Summit was so roundly condemned.
So Almighty God plays a long game, and we should praise his name for all he did during the Summit. We were able to give out around 2,000 pro-life leaflets peacefully to delegates queuing for the Summit. Most were distributed on the opening day, Tuesday. And when we do the little things, we can leave it to the Lord to work miracles. The Statement of the Eleven is one of those things only God can organise.
Just remember, there is all to pray for as the US elections 2020 come ever closer.
