ACTIVISTS DISRUPT EASTER VIGIL MASS TO DEMAND FAITH LEADERS SPEAK OUT

Manhattan, New York – Please see our recent tweets of the protest at the Easter Vigil Mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan on Saturday, March 30 evening. We own these photos and videos. You have permission to use them with attribution to XR NYC Palestine Solidarity.

Quotes

  • “If these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” (Luke 19:40). The stones know that silence equals death. We know that to be nearly silent is to be nearly dead. We know that just as slow winning is another way of losing, speaking the truth so quietly that it is not noticed is another way of lying. We are here to tell the truth about ecocide and genocide as loudly as this moment warrants,” said John Mark Rozendaal, an XR NYC Palestine Solidarity activist at the church.
  • “The United Nations Security Council calling for a ceasefire is a good start, but churches making ceasefire statements is also a part of the solution. It will make a difference,” said Matthew M., an XR NYC Palestine Solidarity member.
  • “War, occupation, and industrial pollution are poisoning the soil, air, and water in Gaza and all over the planet, destroying the earth’s capacity to sustain life. This destruction is called ‘Ecocide,” said Gregory Schwedock, an XR NYC Palestine Solidarity activist at the church.

They go on a bit in the release about press release about Palestinian Solidarity, because it’s all about the climate.

Their enemy is Jesus Christ. God created the Heavens and Earth and all that is within them, and God told Adam to take dominion of the Earth. He also buried within the Earth all kinds of minerals, metals and treasures that He intended us to go gather, use, create and flourish. In fact, the very first command God gave to man was to go out and flourish.

Ironically, their banner “Silence = Death” parrots the sentiments of the late Edmund Burke and later Dietrich Bonhoeffer in that Good Men allow Evil to prosper when they are silent and do nothing.

The Left perverts everything.

When PETA protests a biker’s rodeo because they wear leather.

In The Netherlands a planned XP motorway block failed because the police towed the XR cars away.

It isn’t just XR

“”London features ‘Happy Ramadan’ lights throughout city over Easter weekend””https://humanevents.com/2024/03/28/london-features-happy-ramadan-lights-throughout-city-over-easter-weekend#google_vignette

Outrage after Met officer says swastikas ‘need to be taken into context’…
He [the policeman] says: “I don’t have in-depth knowledge of signs and symbols. I know the swastika was used by the Nazi Party during their inception and the period of them being in power in Germany in 1934, I’m aware of that.”

This is what happens to the public after being exposed to an education system that’s primarily preoccupied with claiming it’s focusing on “creativity”, “critical thinking” and “self-esteem”. It hasn’t the time to teach any facts and figures and the retention of them is out of the question since they may interfere with the above-mentioned preoccupations.

You are correct, Edward. Also perhaps, mention an education system where EVERYONE wins a prize.

There is an ancient symbol used by one of the religions in India that was similar to the German swastika. The big difference is that the arms bent in the other direction. It has nothing to do with any historical branch of Islam.

I will suggest XR consists of generic leftist thugs, and the exact content of their thuggery is incidental. Their street theater reminds me of PETA.

There is facial recognition software out there.
It would be interesting to see how many of the same faces show up in these different “peaceful protest” for divergent causes.
(Maybe that’s why they wear masks?)

We know what they think and what they eat for breakfast. We know they hate their fathers and mothers and love Marx but don’t understand anything about it all.. They are needy, unfulfilled, insecure. They studied post normal emptiness and even in ‘rebellion’ are doing what they are told, a thoughtless obedience.

3 rebels in all of NYC. XR looks to be going extinct. Confounding climate change with Gaza will tend to do that.

They claim global warming is making humans go extinct.

It appears that the little warming we are experiencing is just making XR go extinct.

In that case, I say bring on a little more warming!

Most know I am in favor of corporal punishment for these mongrels. A majority of you disagree with me so I may have come up with an alternative.

These people should be sentenced to work camps. Their job will be the dismantling and recycling of solar and wind farms. They will live on sight, have all their meals provided, sleeping quarters provided, medical facilities on sight, a day room and possibly a snack bar. Absolutely no alcohol or drugs allowed. All of this will be paid for by the people who built the farm, the people who financed the building of the farm and the people who authorized the building of the farm.

It is a win win.

Apart from a few things. In your plan, on SITE, all the work is supported/paid for by the taxpayer and the consumer Since we paid for all the items mentioned.

I’d prefer the work be self funded. They can turn up every weekend for the next ten years and chisel at the concrete foundation, BYO chisel and hammer too.

Story tip: E-bike bursts into flames outside Buckingham Palace as firefighters are called

E-bike and e-scooter fires have become increasingly common as the vehicles become more widely used in London and other cities.

Now I know the religious extremist group depicted in the movie First Contact. They just didn’t name them.

March 31, 2024 4:02 pm

WOW!
I saw a story that sounded like a crowd invaded calling out Pro-Palestinian stuff.
So it was only 3 XRs that threw in a P-P call at the end.

And just how many minds in that cathedral were changed by their disruption theater?

This wouldn’t have happened in my former church, since they had already been preaching this nonsense from the pulpit for some time.

It was probably the general population they were aiming at rather than the people in the cathedral. They probably reckoned that by protesting in a cathedral during an important service they would get lots of media attention. They were probably right.

Attention? (Inflated by the MSM.) Yes.
Sympathy? Conversion to “The Cause”? No.
I was born and raised Roman Catholic. (Nuns in grade school. Jesuits in High School.) I’m not one now. Just a Christian.
But I would never disrupt a Muslim or Jewish or Hindu or (whatever else, Wiccan?) service just to get attention.
(I might speak to individuals on the street about Christ but I wouldn’t interrupt their meeting.)

I often wonder what it feels like to go through life being so wrong on every issue. Can you imagine a world in which Extinction Rebellion talking points were actualized? Pro-terrorism, pro-communism, anti-energy, anti-religious freedom, anti-human. Terrifying.

Gosh, you are something else, aren’t you.

Did you mention all the RUSSIAN destruction in Ukraine? Hilarious you mention US/UK weapons in Ukraine being used for self defense. I am at a total loss.

BTW: Did you mention the Taliban blowing up the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan?

I have yet to see a major conflict where both sides were using USA supplied hardware. It is hypocritical of you to single out one country in your rant, not to mention heavily biased and blinkered.
Now if you had condemned all conflicts as causing a buildup of ‘toxic crap’ as well as massive death and destruction then that might have been a message I could have supported. Such a shame you didn’t but it speaks volumes about your motivations.

How dare the Ukrainians try to defend themselves. Don’t they know that the US is the source of all evil in the world and by associating with US weapons they are guaranteeing themselves a future that is even worse than anything Putin is likely to do to them.

Take a moment and think about what you said.
Who supplied Hamas with the rockets they launched?
Who supplied the Russian troops with the weapons they used when Ukraine was invaded?
Who suppled AA guns to both sides in WW2?
