"The Furtive Robbery Of Life": Tertullian Against Abortion
But sometimes by a cruel necessity, whilst yet in the womb, an infant is put to death, when lying awry in the orifice of the womb he impedes parturition, and kills his mother, if he is not to die himself. Accordingly, among surgeons’ tools there is a certain instrument, which is formed with a nicely-adjusted flexible frame for opening the uterus first of all, and keeping it open; it is further furnished with an annular blade, by means of which the limbs within the womb are dissected with anxious but unfaltering care; its last appendage being a blunted or covered hook, wherewith the entire fetus is extracted by a violent delivery. There is also (another instrument in the shape of) a copper needle or spike, by which the actual death is managed in this furtive robbery of life: they give it, from its infanticide function, the name of ἐμβρῠοσφάκτης,[8] the slayer of the infant, which was of course alive. Such apparatus was possessed both by Hippocrates, and Asclepiades, and Erasistratus, and Herophilus, that dissector of even adults, and the milder Soranus himself, who all knew well enough that a living being had been conceived, and pitied this most luckless infant state, which had first to be put to death, to escape being tortured alive.
The process is graphic, and even though sanitation has improved, the gory details remain the same. A spike is driven through the head and hooks are inserted to tug the fetus out “by a violent delivery.” For Tertullian to be that familiar with the details of abortion—to describe it in such vivid color—likely means that this type of abortion was all too common.
Aborting a child is “a cruel necessity” whereby the “infant is put to death.” Tertullian’s primary concern is the reality of an “ensouled” child. His comment that this is “a furtive robbing of life” is telling. Abortion, even in the rare case where the mother’s life is on the line, is infanticide. It is the robbing of life. It is the taking of a soul.
This was not Tertullian’s only swipe at abortion. Elsewhere he remarked:
In our case, murder being once for all forbidden, we may not destroy even the fetus in the womb, while as yet the human being derives blood from other parts of the body for its sustenance. To hinder a birth is merely a speedier man killing; nor does it matter whether you take away a life that is born, or destroy one that is coming to the birth. That is a man which is going to be one; you have the fruit already in the seed.

: "Children in Africa used to be sacrificed to Saturnus openly up to the proconsulship of Tiberius, who exposed the priests themselves alive on the same trees of their temple, [the trees] that shaded their crimes, [trees like]
votive crosses; a witness is the militia of my father, who discharged that very duty for that proconsul. But even now in secret this holy crime persists."

The pedovore cultists have been trying to deny and obscure the practice of infant sacrifice forever.
After decades of scholarship denying that the Carthaginians sacrificed their children, new research has found 'overwhelming' evidence that this ancient civilization really did carry out the practice.
Children – both male and female, and mostly a few weeks old – were sacrificed by the Carthaginians at locations known as tophets. The practice was also carried out by their neighbours at other Phoenician colonies in Sicily, Sardinia and Malta. Dedications from the children's parents to the gods are inscribed on slabs of stone above their cremated remains, ending with the explanation that the god or gods concerned had 'heard my voice and blessed me'.
Dr Quinn said: 'People have tried to argue that these archaeological sites are cemeteries for children who were stillborn or died young, but quite apart from the fact that a weak, sick or dead child would be a pretty poor offering to a god, and that animal remains are found in the same sites treated in exactly the same way, it's hard to imagine how the death of a child could count as the answer to a prayer.

Advertising and media content targeting viewer’s unconscious mind has been augmented by techniques like hypnotic induction, subsonic “whisper” acoustics and images which stimulate aggression, sexual arousal or instinctual responses. As previously noted, the power of these exploits and the depth and range of their reach has been greatly enhanced by the advent of networked media technologies.
The presumed independence and competitive operation of entertainment and communications industry is illusory. The media may be considered as a single functionally integrated parasitic organism which includes the advertising industry. “Simply expressed, what is consciously perceived by individuals, groups or nations has little or nothing to do with the physical, biological, economic and social realities the perceptions represent. “
Advertising supported media viewers are not citizens whom broadcasters compete to inform but consumer victims to be coerced and manipulated. Advertising supported legacy media is not a passive partner in subversion - they are the "experts" in subliminal influence – and they are planners and profit participants in the exploitation, deception and social engineering and now the principal architects of the psychological attack intended to destroy America.
Media has been doing this ever since advertising supported media was born. Karl Kraus the Viennese satirist, documented the advertising supported media’s role in fomenting the incompetent and disastrous charade of WW I. One of Kraus’s recent translators, Michael Russell, summarizes, “Kraus saw a powerful influential press in Vienna becoming ever more mendacious, manipulative, corrupt and self-serving, forming ever stronger ties with the aristocratic, industrial, financial and above all political elites of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and later, after the war, with the struggling democracy of a new Austria.”
Kraus recognized as did many that the media was an apocalyptic threat, creating a false reality, one which it was impossible to reject publicly without being considered a fool or a mad man.
Since Kraus’s day the advertising-media superorganism has developed technologically and consolidated economically until six companies today enjoy near total control over all human communication. 99% everything we learn about the world comes to us today through a screen. This has created an extended perceptual loop, information we receive about the world is interpreted by experience derived from prior media experiences. This deterioration as cumulative, and the generations of layered lies become more and more corrupt, worthless illusion.
Further what we perceive on a monitor or device screen is treated the same way that information about the world which we receive via our senses from the natural world - it is trusted.
The first world war was started for profit and the advertising supported media complex - newspapers and magazines in that day - were not passive agents reporting this, but active partners in fomenting and initiating the war and provoking public fear and hatred and palpably fraudulent patriotism necessary to support it. The media participated directly in the profits reaped by their advertisers; bankers, arms makers and suppliers of goods and services. Advertising supported media organizations prospered so greatly from the first, mass mechanized, slaughter of civilian populations in the history of warfare, that they’ve been at it ever since. Six companies today exert near total control over the entirety of human mass communication.

In the everyday world we attach “me” to our body and to that “me” we attach multiple defined identities. Religious, racial, social, economic –
How real are those defined identities?
To some of us they're extremely real.
To others, including most of the satanist pedovore cult con artists we contend with, none of those identities are real.
Our ethnic, racial and religious identities, to the cultist’s way of thinking, are simply masks, sheep's clothing, to be worn or exchanged at convenience.
Pedovores assume and discard Catholic, Jewish, evangelical protestant, and secular humanist identities as easily as they express right wing, left wing or centrist ideological positions. These labels are meaningless to pedovores who use our treasured identities as protective camouflage for the abduction and ritual abuse of our children as well as economic depredation.
Ideologies and dogmas are cognitive malware. They make effective smokescreens.
Whatever identity mask they adopt, cult pedovores need and seek access to vulnerable children.
We have found satanist pedovore cultists running major charitable organizations, respected foundations and reputable institutions which are collectively responsible for hundreds, if not thousands, of national and international programs targeting “at risk” ie vulnerable children – all under pretext of helping.
Children's Defense Fund is a prime example of a pedovore social subversion weaponized as a charitable construct. CDF is endorsed by the biggest “stars” and executives in the entertainment business.

Most of the same people were also involved in starting the National Center for Missing and Exploited children, which gave pedovores both access to children and a heads-up early warning system because the creepy sham center for M&E children started the “Amber Alert Service” run by the evil pedovore Laura Silsby, arrested for kidnapping “orphaned” children (parents alive) in Haiti.

Pedovores are con artists, they steal your wallet and offer to help you look for it.
Similarly, when communities ask themselves, "who's going to care for our orphans?" Pedovores always have their hands up, and may style themselves Catholics Jews or evangelicals in order facilitate access.

Pedovores don't believe in national, religious or ethnic identities. cultists are identity-shifters who embed themselves in ethnic, religious or ideological communities and seek control of fund raising and identity defining structures.
Pedovores run such organizations today, hiding behind the benign philanthropic reputation of do-gooder charities, fake foundations and NGOs.
This is information war, and that's how IW is fought.

"Invitation only/wait list" was used by the googler to create exponential growth in their network. Now every marketing shill in the sector treats it as mandatory. Maybe it is. Followers follow the perception of novelty and exclusivity into self imposed slavery.
