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?

Jim Burrows turtle told to listen before it speaks Uganda and sodomy

Here is a post I just sent to Mr. Jim of the boxturtle which seems to have rewritten history diproportionately crediting a few Americans including Scott Lively et al as the Christopher Columbus who discovered the naive Africans and taught us that Sodomy is wrong and that we should make a law about it all in a period of five days! Jim has inflamed the American homosexual audience with exaggerations claiming that the bill and all who support it are in for a genocide. After making an error of posting a LIE that I was going to speak in NC and then recognizing that it was wrong he posted an apology here. I wrote to him a letter thanking him for the apology but also pointed out a string of other mistakes where he has spoken without listening or even asking. Now he writes to repeat the same lies at this post and here is my post.

THE TURTLE CONTINUES TO DEFEND STATUTORY RAPE

Jesus said..they have eyes but they dont see..they have ears but they dont hear..

Jim..I am sorry your partner has HIV/AIDS and you are afraid that if you lived in Uganda he would be arrested if he infected you with HIV/AIDS. My brother and Sister died from HIV/AIDS and we did take care of them till they passed. I am now treating a brother who has HIV who thankfully is still ok. SO I am no stranger to pain and closeness with HIV/AIDS in the last 24 years.

However on the issue of the capital punishment (death penalty in the Ugandas anti homosexuaity bill..I would like to state from my reading that there are
a. Offenders and
b. Victims.
Please re-read it again as below.

3. Aggravated homosexuality.
(1) A person commits the offense of aggravated homosexuality where the

(a) person against whom the offence is committed is below the age of 18 years;

(b) offender is a person living with HIV;

(c) offender is a parent or guardian of the person against whom the offence is committed;

(d) offender is a person in authority over the person against whom the offence is committed;

(e) victim of the offence is a person with disability;

(f) offender is a serial offender, or

(g) offender applies, administers or causes to be used by any man or woman any drug, matter or thing with intent to stupefy overpower him or her so as to there by enable any person to have unlawful carnal connection with any person of the same sex,

(2) A person who commits the offence of aggravated homosexuality shall be liable on conviction to suffer death.

(3) Where a person is charged with the offence under this section, that person shall undergo a medical examination to ascertain his or her HIV status.

You actually have the right draft and when I do see it I focus on the section a)Victim is below 18 and
b) A handicapped person

Indeed the offenders may vary and their status may vary but the focus should be focused on the victim. DO YOU SEE ANY OTHER VICTIMS OR PERSONS AGAINST WHOM THE CRIME IS COMMITTED.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE FOCUSING ON THE OFFENDER AND IN THE PROCESS YOU ARE DEFENDING A PAEDOPHILE AND RAPIST.

I would like to ask what punishment in your view is acceptable for rape of a minor and the handicapped?

We have written to the committee as Uganda Joint Christian Council to make sure that this is clearly an issue of statutory rape and that the death penalty is removed. If you want that document I can send that to you.

Finally you associate aggravated homosexuality and related crimes and put them under one. I agree that equating punishment is harsh and did indeed recommend that it be substantially reduced.

Nevertheless you should not be decieved that this is the work of three Americans who came and told Africans to detest homosexuality. No this is a tradition for more than 5000 years. You would have to travell back to the acient civilizations of Timbuktu, Ghana, Ethiopea to understand where are coming from.

Of course you would like to make us look extremists so you can stirr up the fear of your readers. You continue to INSIST that we want to round up homosexuals in Uganda ..but that is just not true. We are happy with the current punishment of 12 years as a deterent for all those who practice sodomy becuase it is an unnatural act.

I know of no known case where a homosexual has been arrested and hanged for sodomy in Uganda. Yet every day in America using tax payers money more than 3,000 babies are killed (see photos) not for WHAT THEY have done, but for WHO THEY ARE!

Abortion Kills More Black Americans Than the Seven Leading Causes of Death Combined, Says CDC Data

I wonder why your box has no room for the rights of these little ones for whom there is no one who will dare stand up for them.

May God open your eyes to see his truth. May He give you conviction to turn and be saved. That is the CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN, THE CHANGE WE NEED.

Human Sacrifice for riches in Uganda comes to American television.

I am grateful for ABC television finally coming to Uganda and filming the grotesque and pagan practice of human sacrifice of children in the bid to gain wealth from the devil. This demonic practice has been promoted in Uganda over the last two years but it has taken much root in 2009. ABC story and news clip is seen here.

What is human sacrifice? It is when a human being is offered to the demonic powers as a compesation for the promise of supernatural intervention. This includes financial gain, favour in employment, influence of court decisions and the ground breaking for large construction or industrial complexes. For many years the sophisticated elites dismissed them as superstitions which dont exisit or urban/rural legends. The truth is that they have grown and continue to destry the lives of many children.

Yet I fear that while there is willingness to expose the great evil, there is a great reluctance for the powers that be to really take action on this monster. The case of Godfrey Kato Kajubi a rich tycoon who hired a couple to execute his orders of sacrificing three children with a payment of 12 million $4000 highlights the trouble of fighting for the rights of the victims. Ugandan Tycoon named in ritual murder.

Kajubi is rich and the victims are not!

The rich and influential people are the ones who are guilty of these atrocities. The police and law enforcement across the region is corrupt and will not touch them. In fact reports have indicated that the people behind these gross crimes against children are in the corridors of power..the army, police, business, and government! It is difficult therefore for the police to investigate and prosecute people who have financial clout and are close to the seat of power. The case of Kajubi which is up for hearing again this Thursday shows the ups and downs of access to justice. The police seems to have bungled the case and it is now most likely that what was clearly a classic case for the state to prove its zero tolerance for human sacrifice is not going the right way! God help all Uganda's children.

Things are not getting better:

We are told that with US aid, there are more than 2000 offices who have been trained in dealing with human sacrifice, but things just seem to get worse. Read below: "The state minister for internal affairs, Matia Kasaija, regretted that there was a 600% increase in ritual murder, from the three reported in 2007, up to 18 cases last year."

We need FAITH and Gods power!
This is an issue of demonic worship and must be attacked at the root with faith. Police will also need officers with faith who cannot be afraid of dealing with high levell sorcerers. The Europeans think of them as issues of Harry Porter and others. But these are real life issue which the Africans experiences on a daily basis.

We need to stop the promotion of these witchdoctors on the radios.
Every day on the radio stations witchdoctors advertise themselves and their ultimate advise is really a high form of human sacrifice. I have written to broadcasting council asking them to stop them and a feeble newspaper advertisement has been made. But they still continue on BeatFM, on Super FM and many others. They hide under the guise of herbalists, and traditional healers. I want to ask how do we differentiate between good witchdoctors and bad ones? Are they from South Africa as IGG Kayihura tells us, or could even our own Maama Fina provide the information for us!

This case of Kajubi keeps me awake at night. I pray God will move in our land to stop the madness.

Media appearence-ABC nightline and Dr. Michael Brown's Line of Fire

Media appearence alert. This week I will have a long distance interview with Dr. Brown as below. A pre recorded 10 minute documentary on Ugandas freedom train will most likely feature on ABC's Nightline show. Details below and more on ABC later.

"Ugandan Pastor Martin Ssempa will be appearing on Dr. Michael Brown’s live radio program, The Line of Fire, on Thursday, March 11th, from 3:00-4:00 PM, EST, discussing the Ugandan ‘anti-homosexuality’ bill. Dr. Brown will be taking calls during the program at 866-348-7884. Listeners will be able to listen live online by clicking HERE. The program will be available to download shortly after it airs.

Dr. Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience and president of the FIRE School of Ministry in Concord, North Carolina. He holds a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Literatures from New York University and is the author of 20 books. He has spoken throughout America and in more than 25 nations, he is the host of the Line of Fire radio program and the Think It Thru TV show, and he has served as visiting professor at a number of leading seminaries.

Million men demo comes to Mbarara

The freedom bus comes to Mbarara tonight.

Mbarara is abuzz tonight with the plans for the largest anti-sodomy demo to rock the region. There has been extensive inter religious planning for the demonstration which is intended to give the people a chance to share their democratic right to show how they feel about Sodomy! So those who are willing to travell please come and join us.

We will be marching from the Independence area to Mailo 2 covering area of about 5 kilometers in the march. There will be statements by various inter religious leaders from the Catholic, Anglican, Pentecostal and Moslem faiths. Already film crews from the French, Netherlands, BBC and Reuters are gearing up for the next stop for the freedom from Sodomy March. Hon David Bahati and other members of parliament, local government, the mayor, education and city council leaders will be marching.

Democracy means that politicians must make and vote in the will of the people. Africans may have many differences but we are united on some basics which like gravity hold us together. We obey the traditions of our God and our fathers who have handed to us a history of more than 5000 years teaching us that sex and marriage is only between a man and a woman. Even if Obama says sodomy is a human right, Africans say No it is a human Vice. Mbarara shows its feelings this Saturday. Come join us all who can.

Now Ugandas Parliamentarians vow to pass anti-sodomy bill

"This article was written by Hon Member of parliament for Jinja Hon Fredrick Mbaga Mkayi Fredrick Mbagadhi Nkayi . It was published in the local daily the Observer. It is heartening to hear how the more pressure put on the parliament, the greater the resolve to pass legislation. Here goes:
"Listening to the widely revered Bishop of York, Dr. John Ssentamu on BBC radio[commenting on] David Bahati’s anti-homosexuality bill only reinforced my belief that the Day of Judgment has closed in.

Joined by some of our own clergy, leading opposition fanatics have jumped into the fray to oppose the anti-gay bill, allegedly aimed at them. My analysis ofthe touts of homosexuality world over points to the fact that they have always cloaked their arguments in the guise of sexual orientation theory, and homosexuality immutability paradigms.

More than often, gay activists have argued that homosexuality is innate, just like eating, breathing, etc., and that therefore homosexuals desire equal treatment as a minority group.

Homosexuality is a set of sexual actions.

None the less, even if we are to disregard God’s good intentions in creating the institution of marriage, most of the literature points to the fact that homosexuality is a behaviour, a habit learnt just like bestiality, pedophilia,smoking, or theft.

Moreover, this is reinforced by the absence on earth of any conclusive empirical study that points to homosexual immutability.

Granted, rights of minority groups have to be protected. However, it’s also imperative to note that these rights are not absolute and therefore their observance has to be within the tenets of the law of the land and societal ethos.

In addition, Uganda is among the few countries where society has an inherent right to regulate sexual conduct (regardless of sexual orientation) which threatens public health. On this account, our penal code regards homosexuality a criminal act.

Moreover, Hon. Bahati’s anti-homosexuality bill is just a reinforcement of the same and is about filling up any gaps within the existing law, given the level of sexual perversion.

The bill is about protecting the endangered natural African race and family, now at the mercy of the wealthy West, selfishly sounding drums of cutting off aid if Uganda cannot practise sodomy. Pegging aid to acts of homosexuality is in itself a societal evil.

Remember when we did talk about a presentation on this?

Uganda, the pearl of Africa and a blessed country, was exemplary in passing the anti-Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) bill into law.

Regardless of the arguments that the proponents of FGM fronted in the guise of human rights, enough was enough. The daughters of Uganda can now walk with their heads high, liberated from such de-humanising and traumatising ordeal.

Fellow Ugandans, no one owes us a living; We must guard the dignity of the natural family for the future of our children and grand children.

How will history judge us if we fail to appreciate the holiness of the human body, a divine creation of man in the image of the omnipotent Lord!

Every part of the body was carefully designed for a specific purpose; the eye, the limbs, head, ears, mouth, nose, plus the anus, specifically for faecal disposal.

Throughout history, Jewish and Christian scholars singled out the sin surrounding God’s destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as homosexual behaviour (New Testament, Rom. 1:26, 1 Cor. 6:9 and the holy Quran al- jawaab al-kaafi (P.106)).

If the price to pay for our own action is for donors to close their taps plus death threats, so let it be. No level of intimidation what so ever should deter us from condemning and fighting such evil behaviour.

Salutation to those Ugandans – Bishop Henry Luke Orombi, MP Bahati, and Dr.
James Nsaba Buturo for being among the innumerable that have stood up for what
Ugandans deserve. I have no apologies for Uganda being anti-gay.

"For the American and European homosexualists a little democracy 101..in Uganda if you are pro sodomy, you DONT GET ELECTED. If you are ANTI-SODOMY you get elected! If you have a problem with that, you can always go to another country!"

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.
