National Coalition Launches Hate Crimes Awareness Initiative

Rev. David Ostendorf, director of the Center for New Community. “But on a broader scale, our center is tracking 272 hate groups in a nine state region in the Midwest. That reflects the breadth and depth of this problem.”

Other co-sponsors include the Illinois Conference of Churches, the National Council of Churches, the Atlanta-based Center for Democratic Renewal, the National Coalition for Burned Churches, the Asian-American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, the Commission for Racial Justice of the United Church of Christ; the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, the National Board for Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church; and the National Black United Front.

The Center for Democratic Renewal (CDR) is affiliated with Political Research Associates and the Policy Action Network.

CDR was co-founded by the legendary civil rights leaders, Rev. C.T. Vivian and by Anne Braden

After working on newspapers in Anniston and Birmingham, she Anne Braden) returned to Kentucky as a young adult to write for the Louisville Times. There, she met and in 1948 married fellow newspaperman Carl Braden, a left-wing trade unionist.

In 1948, Anne and Carl Braden immersed themselves in Henry Wallace’s run on the Progressive Party for the presidency. Soon after Wallace’s defeat, they left mainstream journalism to apply their writing talents to the interracial left wing of the labor movement through the FE (Farm and Equipment Workers) Union, representing Louisville’s International Harvester employees.

After Carl’s death in 1975, Anne Braden remained among the nation’s most outspoken white anti-racist activists. She instigated the formation of a new regional multi-racial organization, the Southern Organizing Committee for Economic and Social Justice (SOC), which initiated battles against environmental racism. She became an instrumental voice in the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition of the 1980s and in the two Jesse Jackson presidential campaigns, as well as organizing across racial divides in the new environmental, women’s, and anti-nuclear movements that sprang up in that decade.

CDR helped put language that included sexual orientation in the Hate Crimes Statistical Reporting Act passed in 1990. We were the first in the nation to expose the skinhead movement, the Christian Identity Church (white supremacist theology) as well as the epidemic of black church burnings in the South. We worked in collaboration with the National Council of Churches as a research arm and to enact the federal Church Arson Task Force. CDR convened the country’s first Hate Crime Summit and the first national summit of diverse young leaders on youth and hate violence. CDR founded the National Coalition of Burned Churches to address the continuing arsons and recently established the National Southern Coalition Against Racism and Bigotry that involves 80 organizations (still growing) out of our Southern Action Project.”

On Friday, October 25, 1996, the National Black United Front (NBUF) launched a National Petition Drive charging the United States Government with genocide.

The National Black United Front takes the position that the proliferation of the distribution and sale of crack cocaine by Africans in America street organizations has reached epidemic proportions, causing serious harm to the African community in America. This harm can only be described as acts of genocide by the United States government through its Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

National Council of Churches and the World Council of Churches have never been a carefully guarded secret. Today, as it did in the past, the NCC has existed as a political, religious, philanthropic, or humanitarian organization that unfortunately has succumbed to the infiltration of the fringe left. Actually, it never really shifted to the left - it was designed in mind as a front group from the very beginning! What better way to bring revolution to the world than by using religion with it’s message of equality and the meek inheriting the earth.

One look at the NCC website and the rhetoric of their anti American “social justice” programs, gives a clear indication that this outfit is not so holy in nature, but actually exists to destroy the very foundations that Western civilization is built on. Even more disturbing, the NCC has managed to twist and pervert the teachings of Christianity by embracing philosophies, political movements, and sexual practices that are anathema to all religions.

Cuban President Fidel Castro waves his hat to the congregation as he arrives at the National Council of Churches affiliated Riverside Church in New York. Joan Brown Cambell was in attendance. But of course. CASTRO IS APPLAUDED AT RIVERSIDE CHURCH—Mass-murdering communist atheist Fidel Castro spoke for four hours to a crowd of 2,000 admirers at notoriously liberal Riverside Church in New York after attending the UN Millennium Summit Former NCC head Joan Brown Campbell and Maxine Waters were in the crowd that applauded.

NCC operative, The Rev. Roger Ireson, top executive of the United Methodist Board of Higher Education and Ministry, frolics with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and Castro’s translator who works for Cuban State Security.

While the NCC simply stated that it was working on behalf of Elian’s father, it was evident that Joan Brown Campbell and her “humanitarian” organization had a covert agenda to fulfill. They were actually acting on the orders of Fidel Castro, his security apparatus and the Clinton administration.

The most unbelievable aspect of the “Christian” NCC’s bravado was that it went to great financial, and PR lengths to return the boy to a draconian regime that has killed and jailed clergy; and has practiced state sponsored atheism for over four decades.

The National Council of Churches was most famous for its relentless propaganda over many years to the effect that there was no persecution of Christians in the old Soviet Union. When the Berlin Wall fell, Christians on the other side were none too happy with them. Needless to say, they are now in the forefront of those who help cover up the ongoing persecution of Christians in Cuba, China and the Sudan.
