Most people gleefully celebrate Halloween without ever thinking about how it originated or what our Halloween traditions really mean.  They just assume that it must be okay since almost everyone else is doing it.  Today, Halloween is celebrated all over the world, but that hasn’t always been the case.  In fact, there was a time when most Americans did not celebrate it.  It was only during the 20th century that it actually became a nationwide holiday that was celebrated on a widespread basis, and only within the past few decades has it really taken off as a truly global holiday. To find the original roots of Halloween, one must go back approximately 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain… Halloween’s original roots trace back to Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”—because of course the Celts couldn’t make it easy), an ancient Celtic festival that marked the end of the harvest season in Ireland. The Celts believed that on October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead became, shall we say, a little thin. To keep any wandering spirits at bay, they’d light massive bonfires and don costumes—probably doubling as a solid excuse for some much-needed group bonding (what else was there to do in ancient Ireland, really?). This is where the tradition of “Halloween costumes” began. Some revelers apparently wore costumes to ward off spirits, but others apparently wore them “to allow for communication with the spirit world”… Besides the reasons given above, Halloween masks and costumes were used to hide one’s attendance at pagan festivals or—as in traditional shamanism (mediated by a witch doctor or pagan priest) and other forms of animism—to change the personality of the wearer to allow for communication with the spirit world. Here, costumes could be worn to ward off evil spirits. On the other hand, the costume wearer might use a mask to try to attract and absorb the power of the animal represented by the mask and costume worn. According to this scenario, Halloween costumes may have originated with the Celtic Druid ceremonial participants, who wore animal heads and skins to acquire the strength of a particular animal. Today, some of the most popular Halloween costumes are of ghosts, witches, vampires and fallen angels. But most people are entirely convinced that there is absolutely no danger in dressing up as such entities. According to the History Channel, during Samhain the Celts would also “burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities”… In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort during the long, dark winter. To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes. That is quite alarming. And there are also some ancient documents that indicate that humans were often sacrificed in massive Samhain fires as well… According to old documents, in its most primitive guise, Samhain would have featured many sacrifices to the Celtic gods of death, with both animals and humans thrown in to huge firepits as offerings. People claimed the ancient Druids ate their first born children on Samhain, or collected the blood of their sacrificial humans in cauldrons and drank it. But nobody does such things anymore, right? Well, Pastor John Ramirez says that when he was a practicing Satanist he actually participated in the sacrifice of animals on Halloween… Ramirez, now a pastor, knows all about the dark reality of Halloween. He once sacrificed animals as part of satanic rituals and his friends even knew him as “Lucifer’s son.” Now as a born again believer, he strongly warns Christians against celebrating Halloween and participating in harvest festivals. “The only harvest we should celebrate is the harvest of souls,” he adds. Those that are obsessed with spiritual darkness take these things very seriously. Many of them even still call this holiday “Samhain” even though most of us call it Halloween. So how did it come to be called Halloween? Well, it all started when the Celts were invaded by the Roman Empire… However, when the Roman Empire took over the majority of the Celtic region, two ancient Roman festivals merged with the festival of Samhain over the 400 years the Romans occupied the territory. These festivals were Feralia, a day honoring the dead, and a day celebrating Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees who is primarily symbolized with an apple. It was not until roughly the 9th through 11th centuries when early Christianity was spreading throughout the Celtic territory that we finally obtained the name we all know and love. The Christian (specifically Catholic) holiday of All Saints’ Day was very similar to the festival of Samhain with bonfires and costumes, though it was celebrated in early November. It was also called All-Hallows and the festival of Samhain—celebrated the night before—became known as All-Hallows Eve and eventually Halloween. From that time forward, “Halloween” was primarily a Catholic celebration. That is why the Puritans that settled in early America were steadfastly against it.  The following comes from Wikipedia… Lesley Bannatyne and Cindy Ott write that Anglican colonists in the southern United States and Catholic colonists in Maryland “recognized All Hallow’s Eve in their church calendars”,[141][142] although the Puritans of New England strongly opposed the holiday, along with other traditional celebrations of the established Church, including Christmas.[143] Almanacs of the late 18th and early 19th century give no indication that Halloween was widely celebrated in North America.[26] It was not until after mass Irish and Scottish immigration in the 19th century that Halloween became a major holiday in America.[26] Most American Halloween traditions were inherited from the Irish and Scots,[27][144] though “In Cajun areas, a nocturnal Mass was said in cemeteries on Halloween night. Candles that had been blessed were placed on graves, and families sometimes spent the entire night at the graveside”.[145] Originally confined to these immigrant communities, it was gradually assimilated into mainstream society and was celebrated coast to coast by people of all social, racial, and religious backgrounds by the early 20th century.[146] Then, through American influence, these Halloween traditions spread to many other countries by the late 20th and early 21st century, including to mainland Europe and some parts of the Far East.[28][16][147] Today, Halloween has become one of our biggest holidays. In fact, it is being projected that Americans will spend more than 11 billion dollars on Halloween this year alone… Americans are projected to spend $11.6 billion on Halloween decorations, costumes, candy and other festive purchases this October, according to an annual survey from the National Retail Federation. When broken down, that $11.6 billion translated to $3.8 billion spent on costumes, $3.8 billion dedicated to decorations, $3.5 billion allocated to purchasing candy and $0.5 billion spent on greeting cards, per the survey. If you can believe it, Americans even spend approximately 700 million dollars on costumes for their pets each year. Can you believe that? One survey found that 93 percent of Americans celebrate Halloween in some way. Needless to say, this makes certain people very happy.  The founder of the Church of Satan, Anton LaVey, once made the following statement: “I am glad that Christian parents let their children worship the devil at least one night out of the year. Welcome to Halloween.” Like I noted earlier, most people celebrate Halloween without ever even thinking about it. In fact, many people don’t know why they believe what they believe about most things. If we are going to do something, we need to understand why we are doing it. As for where Halloween originally came from, now you know the truth.

In an essay published by The New York Times and titled “Abortion Pills Are Safe. Post-Roe America Isn’t,” Dr. Chavi Eve Karkowsky, a physician who practices maternal-fetal medicine, demonstrates that the campaign for unlimited abortion is as fraudulent and deceptive as ever. From the beginning, the “right” to abortion was built on fraud. Abortion advocates pushed states to repeal their pro-life laws with baseless claims about illegal abortions. The claim that “thousands” of women died from illegal abortions began in the 1960s and persists even today. The National Center for Health Statistics says the real number was just 36 in 1973—the year that the Supreme Court issued its Roe v. Wade decision. The Washington Post’s “Fact Checker” column gave Planned Parenthood its worst rating of “Four Pinnochios” for that lie. In Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court created a fictional account of abortion history that long ago was exposed as radically revisionist. The strategy behind Roe was built on so-called “scholarship” that even the pro-abortion lawyers believed strained credibility. Pro-abortion historians since Roe have tried to maintain the fiction, deliberately erasing the 19th-century feminists and physicians who opposed abortion from their duplicitous narrative. Since 2022, when the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade with its opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, abortion advocates have achieved most of what they said they want. All but four states banned abortion from conception in 1973; 14 states do so today. No state allowed abortion until birth before Roe; nine states do so now. Even the most restrictive post-conception abortion ban, at six weeks, covers barely half of abortions. The laws in effect in 1973 prohibited more than 90% of abortions; the laws in effect today allow more than 80%. The cataclysmic fallout of Roe’s overturning—a narrative pushed by the abortion lobby—has not, in fact, come to pass. Though based on her writing, one would be hard pressed to think that Dr. Karkowsky thinks otherwise.   Back to Karkowsky’s essay in The New York Times. The physician professes concern that women are using abortion drugs “far from the supervision of qualified medical providers.” But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration previously required such supervision for more than 20 years after approving mifepristone, the primary abortion drug, in 2000. That was the case until the Biden-Harris administration deregulated the abortion pill mifepristone in 2021, ostensibly because of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, the action made the pill easier to get, more dangerous, and less predictable in its effects. Among the changes: The federal government eliminated the requirement of an in-person doctor’s visit to secure the abortion pill, expanded use of the pill from seven to 10 weeks’ gestation, and allowed women to obtain pills by mail. This was foolhardy. For a drug with known and serious potential side effects (including incomplete abortions, severe bleeding, failed abortions, and infection), the Food and Drug Administration’s regulatory determinations made a dangerous pill even more dangerous. In fact, FDA’s own warning label on mifepristone states that complications from using the abortion pill can reach a frequency of between 2.9% and 4.6%. In 2023 alone, that represents nearly 20,000 emergency room visits for medication abortion patients. And now there’s an active disinformation campaign by abortion advocates about what state pro-life laws say and how they apply. Take Kate Cox, for example. The Texas woman claimed the state’s pro-life law didn’t allow her to obtain an abortion after she learned that her unborn child had a serious abnormality. It turns out, as the Texas Supreme Court explained, hers was also a fraudulent tale. Cox’s doctor, an abortion advocate, chose not to make the medical finding that, under the Texas statute, would have allowed her abortion. Cox’s lawyer, supplied by the Center for Reproductive Rights, then filed an unnecessary request for a court order that, thanks to the lawyer’s decision, was certain to be denied. Many people believed Cox’s claim that she had no choice but to leave Texas to get an abortion when the truth is that she participated in a legal hoax to sow seeds of confusion and doubt about the state’s pro-life law. Abortion advocates spin other fraudulent yarns. They claim that laws prohibiting abortion also block medical care for miscarriage or ectopic pregnancies. Others say pro-life laws require that a pregnant woman literally be at death’s door before a doctor may treat her for complications. None of these claims is true. Not one. Although the media often neglect to mention it, every state in America—including states with near-total restrictions on abortion—has an exception for the “life of the mother.” And states uniformly require doctors to use their “best medical judgement” in emergency cases to ensure that the pregnant woman is safe. Abortion advocates such as Karkowsky seek to separate women who want to use abortion drugs from any necessary connection to doctors or medical facilities. Then they complain that women such as Amber Thurman and Candi Miller in Georgia are dying from using abortion drugs without adequate medical attention. That’s like someone killing her parents and then asking for leniency because she’s an orphan. The fact of the matter is that Thurman and Miller died from a combination of complications related to the de-regulated abortion pill (made more accessible and dangerous by the Biden-Harris administration) as well as simple medical malpractice—not from Georgia’s commonsense abortion restrictions. The pro-abortion lobby, legacy media, and abortion practitioners are lying to you—both on the impact of state abortion laws and the purported inability to receive safe “reproductive care.” The entire abortion industry is, after all, built on fraud. Americans would do well to ignore the hype. The post Abortion Is Built on Fraud: A Response to The New York Times appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Motorcycle clubs have long been a part of American culture, symbolizing freedom, brotherhood, and the open road. However, a subset known as “outlaw bikers” or “one-percenter” clubs has garnered significant attention from law enforcement agencies. These groups are often associated with criminal activities, leading to a contentious relationship between them and the authorities. This article delves into the reasons why law enforcement considers outlaw bikers criminals, examining historical context, criminal activities, and the ongoing challenges in addressing this complex issue. Historical Context The term “one-percenter” originated in the 1940s, following a statement by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) that 99% of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens, implying that the remaining 1% were outlaws. This label was embraced by certain clubs, including the Hells Angels, Outlaws, Bandidos, and Mongols, who prided themselves on their rebellious image and rejection of societal norms [1]. Over the decades, these clubs became notorious for their involvement in various criminal activities, further cementing their outlaw status in the eyes of law enforcement. High-profile incidents, such as the 1947 Hollister riot and the 1969 Altamont Free Concert violence, fueled public perception of outlaw bikers as dangerous and criminal [2]. Criminal Activities Outlaw motorcycle clubs (OMCs) are often linked to a range of criminal activities that contribute to their negative reputation. Some of the key activities include: Drug Trafficking: Many OMCs are heavily involved in the distribution and sale of illegal drugs, including methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana. These operations can be extensive, with members using their network to facilitate drug trafficking across state and international borders [3]. Violence and Intimidation: OMCs are known for their violent tactics, both within their own ranks and against rival clubs. Disputes over territory, drug markets, or perceived slights can lead to violent confrontations, including assaults, shootings, and even murders. Intimidation is also a key tool used to maintain control and deter interference from authorities or rival groups [4]. Weapons Trafficking: The illegal acquisition, possession, and distribution of firearms are common among outlaw bikers. These weapons are often used to protect their drug operations, assert dominance, and engage in conflicts with rivals [5]. Extortion and Racketeering: Many OMCs engage in extortion and racketeering, using threats of violence to demand protection money from businesses or individuals. This can also extend to involvement in other forms of organized crime, such as loan sharking and money laundering [6]. Theft and Burglary: Some members of OMCs participate in theft and burglary operations, targeting vehicles, businesses, and homes to acquire valuable goods. These stolen items can then be sold or used to fund other criminal activities [7]. Law Enforcement’s Perspective Law enforcement agencies view outlaw bikers through the lens of their criminal activities and the threats they pose to public safety. Several factors contribute to the heightened scrutiny and efforts to combat these groups: Organized Crime Networks: OMCs often operate as highly organized crime networks, with hierarchical structures and clear chains of command. This level of organization makes them more challenging to dismantle and necessitates a coordinated response from law enforcement agencies [8]. Threat to Public Safety: The violent nature of many OMCs poses a direct threat to public safety. Incidents involving shootings, assaults, and other violent crimes can spill over into communities, endangering innocent bystanders and escalating tensions [9]. Transnational Reach: Some OMCs have expanded their operations internationally, forming alliances with other criminal organizations and establishing chapters in multiple countries. This transnational reach complicates law enforcement efforts and requires international cooperation to address effectively [10]. Undercover Operations and Surveillance: Law enforcement agencies invest significant resources in undercover operations and surveillance to infiltrate and gather intelligence on OMCs. These efforts are necessary to understand the inner workings of these groups and to build cases against key members involved in criminal activities [11]. Challenges in Addressing Outlaw Bikers While law enforcement agencies have made significant strides in combating outlaw bikers, several challenges persist: Cultural and Legal Hurdles: Outlaw bikers are often deeply embedded in their communities and enjoy a degree of local support. This cultural acceptance can hinder law enforcement efforts and complicate investigations. Additionally, legal protections, such as the right to freedom of association, can limit the scope of actions that authorities can take against OMCs [12]. Resource Allocation: Combating organized crime requires substantial resources, including personnel, funding, and technology. Law enforcement agencies must balance their efforts against OMCs with other pressing priorities, such as addressing gang violence, human trafficking, and cybercrime [13]. Evolving Tactics: OMCs are not static entities; they adapt and evolve their tactics to evade law enforcement. This constant evolution necessitates ongoing training and adaptation on the part of law enforcement agencies to stay ahead of emerging threats [14]. Conclusion The relationship between law enforcement and outlaw bikers is complex and fraught with tension. While motorcycle clubs are an integral part of American culture, the criminal activities associated with certain outlaw groups necessitate a robust response from authorities. Understanding the historical context, criminal activities, and challenges in addressing this issue provides valuable insights into why law enforcement considers outlaw bikers criminals. As society continues to grapple with the balance between individual freedoms and public safety, the efforts to combat outlaw bikers will remain a critical aspect of law enforcement’s mandate to protect and serve.
