Hidden Headlines Podcast: ALL Lives Matter, w/ Guest Ryan Bomberger

You want to be inspired? Listen to this week’s Hidden Headlines Podcast!

My guest is Ryan Bomberger. His biological mother was raped yet courageously gave him a chance to live via the beautiful gift of adoption.

Ryan grew up in a loving, multi-racial Christian family of 15 (ten kids adopted). With siblings of varying ethnicities, he grew up with a natural appreciation for diversity.

Today, Ryan is an Emmy® Award-winning Creative Professional who co-founded The Radiance Foundation (TRF), a life-affirming 501(c)(3), with his wife, Bethany.

He is also the author of the powerful new book, Not Equal: Civil Rights Gone Wrong.

This is the perfect interview for Black History Month.

Ryan was the creative force behind the first ad campaign to expose abortion’s hugely disproportionate impact in the black community. His bold, TooManyAborted.com, billboard/web campaign made an unexpected impact in the pro-life movement. The effort received massive media coverage from The New York Times, USA Today, LA Times, CNN, MSNBC, the Associated Press, Washington Times, Fox News, ABC World News with Diane Sawyer, and across the blogosphere. The extensive media attention enabled The Radiance Foundation, and Ryan’s personal story of adoption, to reach millions.

Working in conjunction with noted national civil rights leaders like Dr. Alveda King (niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.), Ryan is involved in national efforts to expose and defund Planned Parenthood by illuminating this human rights injustice. He has also traveled the country helping pregnancy help centers raise millions of dollars at fundraising events to support women and their children (born and unborn).

Real Rehab: 500 Inmates “Get Saved”

Last week, Pastor Robert Morris told the 30,000 members of Dallas’ Gateway Church that they were opening a new location: at a maximum security prison in Anderson County.

“At Gateway Church, we’re all about people because God is all about people,” Morris told Fox News following the public announcement. “Many of the men and women inside prison have been forgotten by society, but we want them to know we love them and God loves them, and they are our brothers and sisters in Christ.”

Gateway Church is the largest church in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, boasting six locations and a whopping 27 services. Its newest location at the prison, known as the Coffield Campus, kicked off with 650 attendees. The church functions like anywhere else, with inmates volunteering to staff the services, form a worship team and keep things running smoothly on Sundays. The church’s campus pastor is himself an ex-offender named Stephen Wilson.

“We want the people in the prisons to have a church while they’re in and when they get out, so they can be integrated back into society,” Gateway pastor Jimmy Evans told FaithWire. “People in prison need a church, and we want to be a church family—literally.”

You can watch a video of the announcement to the congregation here, along with some testimonies from the people who attend Gateway’s Prison Campus.

Dealing with YouTube’s Thought Police

As many of you know, I’ve written two bestsellers on global warming, Climategate: A Veteran Meteorologist Exposes the Global Warming Scam (2008) and, Eco-Tyranny: How the Left’s Green Agenda Will Dismantle America (2010).

Both books are filled with hundreds of footnotes detailing peer-reviewed scientific studies illustrating why one should, at the least, be skeptical of human-caused global warming claims.

Interestingly, Climategate and Eco-Tyranny also clearly tie the roots of the green movement to a host of influential leftists, beginning with Marx and Lenin.

By the way, if you disagree with my thoughts on Global Warming, I’m fine with that. Your thoughts are your property. We can agree to disagree.

Or can we?

Last week I posted a tongue-in-cheek video on YouTube, for my ongoing series, “The Epic Story of the Day.” In this particular video, subtitled, “Global Warming,” I read a vivid description of incredibly warm conditions in the Arctic Circle, and a prediction of worse to come. I concluded my comments by comically mentioning that the article I was reading was originally published, word-for-word, by the Washington Post—in 1922!

Within an hour of posting the humorous piece, YouTube’s speech police stationed this dictatorial warning directly below the video box:

Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system, an aspect of climate change shown by temperature measurements and by multiple effects of the warming.

The disclaimer, which is primarily seen by those using a desktop computer, included a link to Wikipedia declaring anthropogenic global warming to be fact.

Unreal. To think that YouTube’s almighty speech police rely on Wikipedia as its purveyor of truth. Last I checked, the bio Wikipedia displays about me is brimming with blunders.

This is chilling. YouTube (a subsidiary of Google) is likely the largest media content provider in the world. By all accounts, their Board of Directors and corporate officers lean (way) left. At what point will a decision be made to add disclaimers to videos involving the Ten Commandments, the deity of Jesus, or Biblically-based morality and family values?

No question, YouTube is in the censorship business. As a private enterprise they are able to get away with it.

My recommendation? When posting conservative truth, thought, and opinion on YouTube, follow the words of Jesus: “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore, be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves” (Matthew 10:16).

I’ve posted a follow-up video as a part of today’s, “Epic Story of the Day.” See it by clicking here.

YouTube Speech Police Hit My “Epic Story of the Week”

I originally posted this tongue-in-cheek video on Friday. However, shortly thereafter the Speech Police at YouTube posted a disclaimer below the video box (seen primarily on desktop computers) saying this:

Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system an aspect of climate change shown by temperature measurements and by multiple effects of the warming.

I’m writing a rebuttal, which will be posted at World Net Daily next week.

I’ll keep you all posted…
