So what we make of the charges against Justice Britt Cavanaugh and into accusations of past sins disqualifies from service today it's time for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire valves like always 866-34-TRUTH that's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you so much for being with us today on Monday as we start the week together on the line of fire got a friend a call from a friend today works in Washington DC, insider's access to the White House and said man dissed me think things couldn't get any crazier they get crazier to rest. Talk about the accusations that have come against Justice Cavanaugh, how we process these how to give the benefit of the doubt, both to the accuser and the accused.

What if he was guilty of sins 36 years ago to those disqualify him from effective service today will take that up right here on the line of fire and before we do that just want to give you an update, namely that we are good where we are right outside Charlotte North Carolina where my base is with our studio in our office a very, very little problems with the hurricane. Some heavy rains and winds but nothing of anything serious here where our transmitting studio is in Winston-Salem North Carolina even less issues.

There are course those closer to the coast have have suffered terrible devastating damage, but all well we are.

Thank you so much for all of you who sent notes saying were prey hope that you are okay. Thank you. All is well. No problems whatsoever, but I was supposed to be tonight in Wilmington North Carolina during a presentation on the college campus and meeting with students last night that of course had to be canceled days in advance because that was one of the first and worst hit areas are right before we get to what's happening in DC I want to speak again about the issue of censorship. The censorship that we are experiencing, be on Facebook. Be it bias is coming against us from Google or twitter or YouTube. We been documenting this for years and is not just me. There are plenty of friends of mine who are experiencing the same type of discriminatory treatment, uneven treatment, inconsistent treatment, unfair treatment, and no it's on Your head cut off. Your nails pulled out and being in prison for life like some of her brothers and sisters have experienced or are experiencing elusiveness outright. We need to address clearly and loudly so I've asked my friend and colleague Peter LaBarbera for Americans for truth about homosexuality to give us an update hey Peter, thanks for calling in today like are you doing doing very very well. I know you've only got a few minutes before your next appointment, but tell us first. What's happened with your website, which is now back up. In fact, him from looking at an article on Americans for truth.com ISP first light fiber shuts down entire Americans for truth website count house to convicted homosexual sex offender and Webb Billy Adam Flanders.

What in the world happened will help me on and this is a fascinating story.

This is a little web only David Adam Flanders.

He is a convicted sex offender ER was. He pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of a minor back in Maine that was sex with an underage teen boy and but before you know before that he had it written a letter exposing the awful goings-on at one of these gay youth clubs in Maine and a lot of people don't put that on the website will have a change of heart and he wanted people take it down and if the public domain and so we started suing people you sooner.

Frontline chemical mass resistance student per million dollars.

He succeeded in getting his website taken down doing this for years and lo and behold we get a notice are ISP providers that Adam Flanders wanted his mug shot taken down. That was in three of our stories on Americans for truth site and he was claiming like that the mark shot was sold copyrighted property and techies are the great progressive great politically correct, very pro-LGBT and so I think they just the only other complaint here.

Let's just take this down immediately.

They gave us neck down my web host jerky help with technology. Great guy and I can't take this now because it is copyrighted property and so because we didn't think about the phone online away.

They shut our entire website out on the suit.

So this is the host on which the host server for your website and they have that power. Just shut the thing down that they had a power outage.

Some problem on therein that you chose them other sites with this is something they did intentionally. They took it down simply because of the complaint and complaint actions that had no legal basis, correct right so that Mike complaint by a guy shut down the court judges when it finally gets there takes a lot of work. He really is good at harassing people but the youth always lost. He lost a lawsuit against line Kemper through that lawsuit up. He tried to get protection against blind Hammacher which is strange because chemical had never even engage with him, never, never been near him.

This is what he does and so took this to see that he can any, either on the sex offender registry in both Maine and California for that charge of sexual abuse of a minor and and so to get a letter or an email from a guy like Adam Flanders and immediately just to not even research it and just take down take on the website is just shocking. So let me ask you this. What was the chronology and folks those who pray regularly for folks at end and have a prayer list the name Adam Flanders to the prayer list.

It would be wonderful to see him transform come to repentance and salvation, not so much that he would stop harassing others, but that he would come to know forgiveness and new life in Jesus but but Peter, what was the chronology of him being convicted as a sex offender and him exposing what happened at this gay youth event which happened first. Okay, I believe that he exposed the first ugly. That was in 2007 he wrote an article, an incredible story about how adults were flirting with the kids, she would go downstairs of the house with her getting out he was a 18's boyfriend was 14 and they would have faxed this is all the letter that was 2007 money in a change of heart. I think what happened was, I think there were two boys yet yet one incredible case. Mike which I can barely describe a family shelter LIKE to say this is what that mug shot was for.

He was convicted of assault and then he was ordered to stay away from the boy he violated that order.

He went to the White House. Mom found out that dad went upstairs and Adam Flanders led off the dad put a knife to the throat of the boy that he was supposed to be staying away from and so that's what but that in addition to that, I think that's separate from the sexual abuse of a minor. That was in Waldo County, Maine. I believe and so he has his troubled past, become effective on the list and I and you want to write history, but the problem is you can't erase history, but that's what some executives will extraordinary right so so you had to deal with that and oh so glad to get the link to the article, meaning your website is often the people recognize they did want to apologize to you for taking the site down the funniest thing is that they did not restore the website Mike. We got up on another another address. Another coming out way of getting up there but later strike any minute. I can turn on my computer and it could be down again and that's why we're considering all our legal options. I get you with both Adam Flanders himself and also with the service provider because one more thing like after they shut us down.

We created an alternative site called Americans for truth centered and I was hosted by a company called skater Adam Flanders wrote to host gator host gator took down to Americans for truth centered on real notes. So what happened with Facebook apologizing to pray for you with some of their videos were blocked is as unsuitable as Facebook and this could massively cut down their distribution and then they apologizes, but what happened was they got flagged because of complaints and then it was watched in and the person decided it was not suitable but he made a mistake you think will that's how this is being done. I mean, so every day on YouTube. When our new video goes up from our from our live stream of our radio show today show Lou out what will go up.

It can be as as generic as Dr. Brown answers your questions or answering your Bible. Questions and normally within minutes or certainly within hours it will get flagged not suitable for all of her overall advertisers. Then we have to request a review, then it has to be viewed a certain amount of times within seven days for them to actually take the time to do the manual review and then in the vast majority of cases the writeback good news.

Your your your video suitable self. My question is why is it getting flagged constantly and it's either they they just got the whole the whole the whole channel marked or there are people who just every day complain about whatever we put up an and mindlessly thou goes all now we have to review it and it could just be the wrong person having a look at. I mean it so completely arbitrary, that's for sure if there were fair rules. Let's play by them. When the rules are where there were fair judges like my guests when all this was happening. We were censored by Facebook again for for national harmless post which we were just highlighting the homosexual activist was giving the finger to the public is the editor of Timo Megan's name is Philip McCarty and he gave the finger to the public. He was part of this whole thing with a woman article promoting annual stocks and we just cannot rely. Let not my please I said a photo of the sky, kissing another guy. I put a box over there… That long because we didn't want to show that indecent just and I sat there, there hear their queer could use toward America guy on the right is deputy editor of excluding team going with her first kiss blocked for decency, not a block at Mike here's what I find frustrating about Facebook.

I don't know why they block the photos. It is because I use the word queer but was clearly a historical context because we are quoting old group queer nation which is a very radical group in their slogan was where here were clear. Get used to it, or were they blocking me because I block the homosexual kiss and said it was wrong.

When you find that out you just to be told. Violet got us one time we had a little cartoon and it was John Kerry sitting across from Hamas leader sitting across from Prime Minister Netanyahu and this Hamas leader Sam you want to kill all Jews and John Kerry center to prime estimates on Yahoo to maybe meet him halfway. You know that was the kind so soon we put the thing up there. It gets blocked that it like a whole page because we dealt with them so many times and there's some protections we have in there, but they what happened was they they block that so I wrote to my contact there. And this is the permit speed sinkhole Jews listed. The cartel was exposing Hamas presented this it all, we must read it. Sorry it's it's restored here so advancing probably face of the media. Yet the people who are censoring know a lot less people they are censoring. They have no clue and I think they might expecting the word queer. Mike was always calling gaze queer. Not knowing that every major homosexual organization. Now uses the word queer for many years. In fact, this is 2003. Associated Press is clear is now hipster boyfriends.

Here's what you do visit Americans for truth.com and share it with friends. You get the essential information that very willing to put out Americans for truth.com Douglas Feith liked the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown, let me say this is plainly as I can. Let me make myself perfectly clear Internet censorship Internet bias against conservatives begins Christian conservatives is very real and not paranoid about this because God that he can help us get our message out. However, we can get it out.

But remember Paul in the book of acts when he was going to be mistreated as a Roman citizen, he would remind the people on the Roman secure romances or we can do. We were planning to do. You are what we just did.

She we could be in big trouble when there was a right that he had to stand on.

He would do it of course was persecuted and suffered terribly, was ultimately according to tradition, beheaded for his faith. But when there was a stand he could take and draw attention to. If you would do it in the same way now since the government is here to do right according to Romans 13 to punish evil and to support and protect right and good. We have laws in our nation for that. What we want to hold people accountable and to the extent that you have service provider saying we are providing equal service for everyone.

To the extent that you have rules and and guidelines given to by you to buy Google by Twitter by Facebook. We want to challenge them to uphold those equally and fairly for all and just to explain this to you so, so it makes sense. It's one thing if a company says we are left-wing company. We are right wing company.

We are liberal we are concerned we are Muslim we are Christian we are Jewish we are atheist and and what were putting on our site is in conformity with bad and we don't want any disagreement with that's 100% their prerogative to do it. But if you're going to draw people and if you going to say hey Facebook were just the community, and were neutral. You two were just really were neutral and now you work with them for months for years.

You pour into what they're doing, you develop a platform there, maybe even you pay them money to develop what you're doing and then they change the rules or don't enforce the rules rightly or equally.

Now you have a problem and that's something we should address so my friend Peter LaBarbera, Americans for truth against homosexuality. This is what happens to him. Here's his headline ISP first light fiber.

This was the web this is that the host server for his website ISP first light fiber shuts down entire Americans for truth about homosexuality website counts house to convicted homosexual sex offender and web bully Adam Flanders. So here's some guy that threatens them and says take down this mug shot. You have of me when I was convicted, this is Adam Flanders and he was convicted years ago as a sex offender take down that mug shot, although that's public domain.

It can be used and now the website because they're being told this conservative site is is is doing this and they're doing even though it gets taken down because threatens a good steak and eggs. It will likely go anyway that this improve anything because anybody could threaten anyone could threaten a lawsuit. Sometimes people just immediately react okay let's let's go a step further. Here is a report from Fox news. This is all over the Internet, Twitter, CEO Jack Dorsey admits conservative staffers don't feel safe to express their opinions at liberal tech giant read that again. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admits conservative staffers don't feel safe to express their opinions at liberal tech giant last week Breitbart.com releases a very damning video one hour long leaders of Google mean the power that these Internet giants have is massive when we do so much communication through the Internet. We get our message out to the Internet when they can shut your message down when they can promote your message down. Those of us who work regularly to get a message out on the Internet. Those of you who are in business using the Internet.

You recognize how powerful these companies could be an all along we just assume they're just using computer algorithms and there's no bias or lease we were hoping this is just generating looking for the most common would commonly search website and this you're looking to buy a product okay which one seems to have the most hits and interest okay. There is a paid ad that separate. Here's the list using is this all coming out fairly now finding out that's not the case. Allegedly, that is not the case and Google executives talking very upset when Pres. Trump wanted, what can we do about this.

So I got a call he kind of theological, cultural twin of mind.

We only met for the first time a couple years ago, Bill Muilenburg, a great website, Bill Muilenburg.com MUEHLEN BER G American living in Australia for many many years and for many many years he's been writing about the key cultural moral issues in the soft gospel issues in Australia and around the world. So he posts this September 12 so last week Facebook jail yet again we read what he wrote.

Sometimes you can take a little while to figure out what I should write about on culture. Watch you try to have at least one new article written and posted every day. Usually there's plenty of news that news that can be turned to an article or stuff going for my morning devotional for general culture war material, etc. however, once in a while.

I may have to think if you hours as to what might be worth running with today since I tried to open my Facebook page this morning. I knew instantly what to write about. You see, here I am languishing in Facebook jail once again. Yep sitting in jail putting my thumbs wondering what to do for the entire 30 to he's sure I've done my time in the past with shorter stints in the sending day two or three various transgressions have meant that the Facebook sensors had to act. It seems, but an entire month really wow.

What did Bill do that was so despicable threaten to assassinate a top political leader post pictures with role degrading pornographic content try to defend the most wicked forms of child abuse try to tell deliberate and flagrant laws with impunity. No evidently it was far, far worse than that. But the really bizarre thing is it seems not to been opposed by me at all those seems to been someone else's unable to what they posted. I only briefly saw a quick image of it. It was not anything I did. So I completely kept in the dark by the Facebook overlords and have been given the boot with zero recourse or action of right or reply. He says let me make this clear.

Here's the bottom line.

In this case someone else can post something Facebook does not like and do it on a page that is not your own.

Yet you can still get slammed by Facebook anyway, even for a whole month that makes as much sense as sharing a flat with a guy who robs a bank gets caught because Jeff and assure accommodation with him. You two will be jail friends. This is the kind of stuff that were dealing with on a regular basis in my YouTube channel. Like I could if we were sitting together, I'd show you my computer we go my YouTube channel and you see video after video saying record review request review request review request review request review request for that for the most generic noncontroversial videos imaginable, but either my my site. My*abound YouTube page has been flagged and marked in general so instantly.

It gets attention or people just immediately is just what they do know how many takes 510 2050 hungry envelope, but immediately what they do they have a little circle.

People may mutely complain about the video you get a bunch of complaints. All right Mark this and and now market is unsuitable for advertisers and by that will make money on YouTube. We cannot make you do even though it had over 10 million views of earlier is we don't make money on YouTube. We use YouTube to review and, if anything, we have paid money to YouTube to try to get a message out through advertising a key video and if there's been any profit of a few hundred dollars here and there, it just gets poured back into ministry were nonprofits and we don't make a dime of profit on YouTube. If any money comes and it goes right back into producing for the videos to put out on YouTube and serving you to make things available for free, but the videos get flagged virtually every single day, sometimes literally within seconds of going live.

I'm not kidding you are getting noticed from my team hey Dr. Brown you can post this now on Twitter. It's now live and out seconds later I looking boom, it's already been marked so either. YouTube is liking it or somebody else is complaining and I like complaining about this I'm just speaking the truth and bring it into the light and we confronted them as best as we Have to be worst customer service.

The most friendly and the absolutely worst customer service of the giver expense are some of the very workshop shock.

It's shockingly poor but very friendly.

So who are we dealing with are the rules fair are the judges fair it is it a biased 20-year-old sitting in Silicon Valley. That's not gonna make the evaluation and the strangest thing is videos that I think are fine though Mark and say unsuitable after review unsuitable and then another one. I think this is controversial. They know they going to shut this one out or not, let this be monetizedfine. There is zero consistency. So when you want to play by the rules, you can't even do that this stuff is real friends. It's not imagined. It's not imagined. It is real but some good news with the pushback in the midst of it and and this is from life site news life site. News reports this from Friday, September 14 judge awards pro-marriage pastor $10,000 in online harassment case of this is Christian pastor Richard Pentecost. He was on might show a few weeks back.

Pastor the warriors for Christ online ministry is offering to help other Christians fight back and use the courts. The courts against online defamation and threats of violence, so he was the victim of online harassment and false accusations. When he went to court over the courts sided with him and he received $10,000 because he was wrongly accused. So let us continue to speak the truth and get the truth out. Let us continue to speak the truth in love without compromise and let us pushback against injustice that is pushback against corruption. Let us pushback against discrimination in this way, there can be more liberty and freedom for everyone. I friends we come back we'll switch gears and talk about the charges that have come against Justice Brett Cavanaugh, how we evaluate them. How do we evaluate the accusation. How do we evaluate the accuser, the accused to our past sins disqualify us from present service today will take all that up
