America learns about Africa-ABC's Nightline presents or misrepresents the struggle!

The struggle against the colonial imposition of sodomy of in Africa by western powers will be shown tommorrow on ABC's Nightline programme. I just got this word from ABC producers.

" Pastor Ssempa -- I just wanted to let you know our story for ABC News is set to air tomorrow on Nightline. I will be sure to send you both a link so you can watch it online, and also a DVD copy. Unfortunately, ABC News policy will not allow me to send you any of our raw footage, but you may of course use the story as a whole, and there is a lot of footage from the rally in Jinja there. Again, thank you for your graciousness during our visit to Uganda. All the best to you and your family."


Well that is a bummer. They promised to give me a copy of the footage and they were yes yes all the time. Now..they are claiming our policy! Were they baiting me or lying to me? Secondly wonder however what is the remote possibility that this struggle will be factually and objectively covered. I must admit that I really did not like Dan Harris..we just did not connect or rather he just did not like Africa/Uganda's culture which unlike New York does not recognize sodomy as a human right. Yes he was in the midst of a population to whom sodomy is a human vice and great sin before God. No wonder after inteviewing me, we gave him a couple of keepsake buttons which said "Uganda Stands against Sodomy" he wrote posted it on his twitter saying "Souvenir from the most homophobic place I've ever been." Ah that is a bit discouraging because he apparently finds our pro family position objectionable calling it "homophobic". Apparently if Dan would have his way, he would take all of Africans to a "school of diversity" based in New York where we would all be told to repeat after him...sodomy is good, Africas Christian religion and culture are bad! I will keep my fingers crossed because journalists are supposed to be objective and factual even if their "beliefs" conflict with the story they are covering.

Dont show or tell us about ex homosexuals-
At the meetings there was two ex homosexuals. Paul Kagaba ex spokesperson for homosexuals in Uganda and Sandra who all great stories of transformation. Dan did not seem to care about their stories how rich western guys like George Soros were pouring thousands of dollars into pro sodomy campaigns. The matereal facts of the lives changes through the power of Jesus Christ did not seem to interest him. That bothered me.



They promised to be factual!

When I first heard from ABC this is the letter they sent me:

Hello Pastor Ssempa –

I’m a producer for the American television news broadcast ABC News Nightline. I understand you’ve spoken with Ben about being a part of a story we’re doing about homosexuality in Uganda. We really appreciate your cooperation, and I think you’ll find that the format of our show gives you an excellent platform for presenting yourself and your church to an American audience. Our award-winning broadcast airs every night at 11:35pm eastern standard time, for an audience of about four million people. Our stories are in the six to ten minute range, which gives us much more time to explore topics in-depth than most news shows can.

What we’d like to do, ideally, is spend part of Sunday with you and your congregation, filming. Then we would join you again on Wednesday, the day of the rally, as you prepare for that event and then attend it. Our hope is that spending so much time together will really give us a chance to build a profile of you for our show, and we’ll be able to discuss a lot of the issues that have bubbled up around this pending legislation.

Please do let me know if you have any questions for me. I’ll be traveling to Uganda along with my colleagues Almin, who is also a producer, and Dan Harris, who is the on-camera correspondent for the story. We’re all looking forward to our trip to Uganda, and meeting you and the members of your church. All best, Katie, Producer

Drag Rick Warren in somehow!

It is now an old story, but template reporting demands that there must be a good guy and a bad guy. Usually you want to link the African to some "rich American" evangelical right winger who is funding or paying them to do the legislation. While we as Africans are very dissappointed in Pr. Rick Warren who like Peter in time of pressure betrayed Jesus, Rick Warren has also betrayed our friendship and the biblical teaching on homosexuality. The urban legend on Ugandas bill is to claim that it was designed in America by the likes of Rick Warren and some speakers who visited Uganda for five days for an ex homosexuality conference. The truth is that this IS NOT in any way funded or developed by Rick Warren , Scott Lively et al. It is a homogrown effort by Ugandans for Ugandans. On the 1st of March I got this letter asking if I had a video of Rick Warren..meaning that Rick will be featured somehow.

DO YOU HAVE RICK WARRENS PHOTOS?
Hello Dr. Ssempa – I hope you are well. We are back in the States, working on the story, which hopefully will be airing in the next few weeks. I will make sure I let you know the date once we have settled on one. In the meantime, I am wondering if you have any photos of yourself from your visits to Saddleback Church, or with Mr. Warren or his wife. If you have a few that you could email to me, that would be very helpful. I hope you and your family are well. Thank you for being so kind to us during our visit to your beautiful country. I look forward to returning someday. All the best, Katie

Sorry No photos of Rick Warren BUT WE ARE PRAYING FOR PR. RICK WARREN.

I said sorry no video or photos. However Pr. Rick is best remembered less a purpose driven pastor, but more as a pressure driven pastor! He supported proposition 8, Californias effort to define marriage as man and woman at the polls, then turned and claimed he did not support it when he was on Larry King Live. A great video on this has been made, "will the real Rick Warren please stand up at the good people at good fight ministries. After watching this video, I would rather remain true to what God says in Bible and earn the scorn of the homosexuals and the perveted mind of the world. "I am not trying to please man, but I am trying to please God".
LET US PRAY FOR AMERICA AND AFRICA

I ask that you all join me in prayer that somehow those who are lost in the city of modern day sodom and gomorrah will somehow find the truth of God and turn away from their wickedness. Maybe having used ABC as the method of fighting HIV/AIDS God, can use the witness of Africa to remind fallen Western world including Barack Obama the ABC of sex and the family. Indeed marriage of man and woman is the CHANGE AMERICA NEEDS AND AMERICA WANTS. This is the audacity of my hope through Jesus Christ.
DONT BE FOOLED-THIS IS MUCH BIGGER THAN UGANDA.

See this Video.
This issue is much bigger than Uganda and Rick Warren. What is happening is that a global culture clash is taking place as western forces of human rights, and their local agents are trying to impose homosexuality on Africa. Africans are bothered by the effort of Pre. Barack Obamas adminstration of putting "sodomy" on top of his foreign policy agenda. This is now taking place in Kenya, Malawi and other nations. Will ABC tell the real ABC of the global clash?

The Lancet: HIV rates among homosexuals are 10 times higher than among the general male population.

The Lancet: HIV rates among homosexuals are 10 times higher than among the general male population. (This is the genocide)

Anyone who cares about stopping HIV/AIDS in Africa-especially Uganda, must stop and examine the statistical finding of these absolutely suicidal rates of HIV/AIDS in male homosexuals across Africa. Oxford University researchers indicate that for every one normal African man who has HIV/AIDS, there are ten homosexuals with HIV/AIDS all things being equal!

It really means that we need a state of emergency response to avert this self inflicted genocide by coitus. Will someone have the scientific courage to announce the obvious? Homosexual activity puts you at a 100 per cent greater risk of getting HIV/AIDS!

What is it that makes sodomy such an effective means of disease transfer? Are the answers rooted in the inherent weakness of the anal lining to offer effective detterent of disease transfer? In her acticle "anyone can get it" Janice Shaw wrote;

‘Just as 80 percent of lung cancers are related to using tobacco, the vast majority of HIV/AIDS victims are homosexual men. It is their behavior –– anal intercourse ..that puts them at risk. To be blunt, the rectal lining, unlike the vaginal lining, is a relatively porous barrier that is only one cell thick (the lower intestine is designed to absorb fluids — that is the very essence of its function); thus, it is quite easy for the HIV virus to transit through the intestinal wall into the blood stream and target cells. Some experts estimate that it only takes about 10 minutes for the virus to break through the barriers to infect the victim.
In regards to women’s vulnerability to HIV, to be blunt again, the HIV virus can burrow through natural barriers, enter the blood stream, gain access to deeper tissues and reproduce much more easily in the rectum than in the vagina. Thus, women are better protected against the virus. The healthy vagina, however, has a strong lining that is infection resistant, and under normal circumstances, its tremendous elasticity minimizes the risk of tears and abrasions so that the HIV virus, barring a weakening of the system, has great difficulty breeching its natural barriers. Thus, according to Dr. Grossman, some researchers contend that vaginal transmission is very rare."

Lets all blame someone else!

Typical of the usual refusal to give comprehensive knowledge to the homosexuals why their sexual activities-including barebacking, inability of condoms to give adequate protection, alcohol and drug abuse, put them at greater risk for the deadly diseases, the Oxford University researchers shift the blame to someone else “the rates are driven by the cultural, religious and political unwillingness to accept ‘sodomy practitioners’ as equal members of society”! Ha ha ha! This is philosophically untenable in similar public health occurences. We would have to blame society’s rejection of smoking as the cause to why smokers are 80 times more likely to have lung cancer than non smokers! We would blame society for cultural, religious and political unwillingness to accept drug abuse, which has driven it underground causing the related self destructive negative outcomes. It is this campaign of keeping comprehensive knowledge on sodomy and its attendant negative outcomes that is driving the genocide.

From my experience in HIV/AIDS in Uganda:
Having been at the frontline of the worlds most succesful global HIV/AIDS effort, from 86-90 we worked to give people the power to make personal choices for their survival. We were blunt, we told them that HIV/AIDS is spread primarily through promiscuity. We launched a national campaign which targetted real behaviour change! Abstain and be Faithul in marriage! And for those foolish enough to have sex outside marriage, they were told not to be so foolish as not to use a condom at it would substantially “reduce” their risk, but not take it away completely. The condom was never pushed as the magic bullet, rather it was abstinence and mutual faithfulness! We were able to break the back of the epidemic.

Are married heterosexuals more likely to have HIV/AIDS than homosexuals?

Today sadly, our programs have been hijacked by western bureacrats and get rich quick politicians at the Uganda AIDS commission. Now they have billboards saying “Married people are more like to have HIV!” Sure? Where is the evidence? And Compared to who? To prostitutes or homosexuals? Shock, this new information we actually should have a billboard that says the truth “Homosexuals are 10 times more likely to have HIV/AIDS- Stay safe, abstain from Sodomy” I am sure that is why Bahati and Uganda’s parliament are on the verge of making the anti-homosexuality bill 2009.
