“My children, no country now shall be free from the evils of communism. My heart is torn, for I have come to you in countless appearances upon earth to warn you as Our children to avoid compromise with the enemies of God, though they come to you with smooth tongues, rationalizing their behavior. And because man has fallen out of grace, he will accept these lies and become enslaved.” – Our Lady, May 13, 1978

New Age (in italiano ‘Nuova Era’ o ‘Nuovo Evo’) è un vasto movimento religioso-sociale sorto negli USA attorno agli anni settanta (fu infatti negli anni 1971-1972 che vennero pubblicate le prime guide del New Age con elenchi di librerie, negozi, centri di medicine alternative, centri religiosi, scuole di yoga e così via) e che si è diffuso a livello internazionale. Va detto però che sul luogo e sulla data di origine altri pensano che la sua origine risale al 1962 in Inghilterra, quando fu fondata la comunità-giardino di Findhorn (in Scozia).
Questo movimento non possiede un’organizzazione gerarchica e centralizzata come altri gruppi religiosi perché comprende al suo interno centinaia di gruppi (ma anche singoli individui) autonomi e diversi tra di loro (gruppi religiosi pseudocristiani, gruppi religiosi di matrice orientale, gruppi pacifisti, femministi, ecologici, ufologi, gruppi di psicologi, di psichiatri, di medici della medicina alternativa, di scienziati, gruppi dediti alla stregoneria, allo spiritismo, ed altri), che benché tra di loro si differenziano e si contraddicono su diversi punti aspirano tutti ad un cambiamento radicale della società. Quello dunque che li unisce è il proposito che è cambiare il mondo in cui viviamo per instaurarne uno completamente nuovo, e dare vita così al New Age cioè alla Nuova Era, che secondo l’astrologia starebbe per iniziare. Secondo gli aderenti al New Age infatti stiamo per entrare in una Nuova Era, l’Era dell’Acquario, (non di tutti in verità perché alcuni ritengono che già siamo nell’Era dell’Acquario), perché il sole starebbe per entrare, in base alla legge della precessione degli equinozi, dal segno dei Pesci a quello dell’Acquario, e questo passaggio – essi dicono – segnerà la fine dell’Era dei Pesci, caratterizzata da violenza e guerre, e l’inizio dell’Era dell’Acquario che sarà invece caratterizzata dalla pace e dall’amore fra tutti gli uomini.
Quindi, come potete vedere, alla base del New Age c’è pure una credenza astrologica. Ma come può avvenire questo cambiamento del mondo secondo gli ideologi del New Age? Tramite un cambiamento di paradigma. Ora,
‘il paradigma è una struttura di pensiero (dal Greco paradigma, ‘modello’). Un paradigma è uno schema per capire e spiegare certi aspetti della realtà (…) Un cambiamento di paradigma è un nuovo modo di considerare i vecchi problemi’ (Marilyn Ferguson, The Aquarian Conspiracy [La Cospirazione dell’Acquario], London 1986, pag. 27),
dice Marilyn Ferguson che è una portavoce del New Age.
Ognuna di queste scoperte, come il fuoco, la ruota, la scrittura, ‘è descritta come un cambiamento di paradigma’ (Marilyn Ferguson, op. cit., pag. 26), ed ognuna ha avuto un effetto sull’umanità perché l’ha trasformata; e così anche la scoperta che in questi ultimi decenni è stata fatta da molti, che la Ferguson afferma ‘si può paragonare alla scoperta delle immagini nascoste in riviste per bambini’ (ibid., pag. 31), è un cambiamento di paradigma che avrà l’effetto di trasformare la società in tutti i suoi settori. Ma qual è questa scoperta che molti asseriscono di avere fatto personalmente, e che il New Age invoglia il singolo a fare perché la ritiene indispensabile per cambiare la società? Questa: che l’Io, ‘il più intimo sé, pervade l’universo e tutti gli altri esseri’ (ibid., pag. 31); in altre parole che l’anima individuale (Atman) residente in ciascun uomo fa parte dell’anima universale (di quel tutto chiamato Brahman). Nell’Upanishad Chandogya (scritti dell’Induismo) questo concetto lo si trova esposto chiaramente nell’insegnamento che Uddalaka dava a suo figlio Svetaketu: ‘L’essenza penetrante è diffusa universalmente in ogni cosa, da qualsiasi parte si trovi. Si tratta del vero Io; e tu sei proprio questo, Svetaketu!’.
Eccolo dunque questo cambiamento di paradigma sbandierato dal New Age! Esso ritiene che tutto è Dio e l’uomo quindi è Dio; e, come dice la Ferguson,
‘vede l’umanità radicata nella natura; promuove l’individuo autonomo in una società decentralizzata; ci vede come i gestori di tutte le nostre risorse, interne ed esterne’ (ibid.,pag. 30).

Google claims motive of Pulse Nightclub mass murderer who pledged allegiance to ISIS is “inconclusive”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 01:43 pm
Omar Mateen pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS), and that even shows up right next to Google saying his motive was “inconclusive,” but it’s no surprise that Google would whitewash this jihad massacre. Google is increasingly Sharia-compliant. Anwar Awlaki’s al-Qaeda recruitment lectures were offered in Google Play store app. And in 2017, Texas imam […]

Pope: “Christian and Islamic worlds protect common values: life, family, religious sense, honor for the elderly”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 12:56 pm
Life? Yes, unless you’re not Muslim. In Islamic law, Muslim lives are explicitly worth more than those of non-Muslims. The Shafi’i Sharia manual Reliance of the Traveller dictates: “The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is […]

Afghanistan: Taliban “committed to all rights of women that have been given to them by the sacred religion of Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 12:35 pm
That is, hardly any. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts […]

Germany: Muslim migrant who lied about being a “minor refugee” murders girlfriend for refusing to convert to Islam

UAE Forum Promotes Dubious Islamic Peace (Part III)
By Andrew Harrod on Feb 07, 2019 11:38 am
As earlier demonstrated, the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) annual Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies (FPPMS) promotes a whitewashed Islam in the service of, among others, UAE interests. Unsurprisingly, FPPMS speakers often focus upon defending a supposedly humanistic Islam against “Islamophobia,” even as some of the speakers’ own comments and biographies reveal Islam’s darker […]

Gatineau city councillor Nathalie Lemieux has issued an apology for comments she made about Muslims and quit her job as the city’s deputy mayor. Her apology for “offending or hurting anyone” didn’t stop there. She punished herself before the anti-Islamophobia brigade could attack her for offending Muslims and Islam. There has been a brouhaha in […]

By Hugh Fitzgerald on Feb 07, 2019 10:00 am
Let’s move to the other side of the globe: The historic xenophobia of the racist white supremacists in the US, the chief supporter of the Israeli settler colony, resulted in two major and many more US-led invasions of Muslim states in which hundreds of thousands of Muslims were slaughtered. When Americans freely and openly elected […]

Indian writer: “Why is the onus only on Hindus to accept Muslims and not the other way round?”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 09:00 am
“We need an Indian, perhaps subcontinental, truth and reconciliation process. Muslims would acknowledge and disassociate themselves from the bloody and horrific history of the conquest of India. Hindus, in turn, would let go of their hurt and pain that can turn into retaliatory rage.” The bloody and horrific history of the jihad against India is […]

UK: Muslim migrant rapes primary school-age girl in “vile sex attack” lasting over 30 minutes
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 08:00 am
Why does this keep happening? One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the […]

Legal Struggle of Doctor Reflects Wider Harassment of Christians in India Hindu extremist government reminded that practicing one’s faith is not unlawful. By Our Southern India Correspondent
HYDERABAD, India, February 7, 2019 (Morning Star News) – Emergency medicine doctor Christo Thomas Philip was returning with his family to his native India from a medical conference in Greece when immigration officials at Delhi’s Indira Ghandi International Airport took him into custody.
His deportation from India on that day, April 26, 2016, came after working for three years treating destitute people on the verge of death from snakebites, HIV, diphtheria, tuberculosis and heart failure, among other conditions, in Raxaul, a remote area of eastern India’s Bihar state. He was planning to return to his work there at the emergency care unit of Duncan Hospital.
“My wife and children were allowed entry back into the country,” Philip, 36, told Morning Star News. “But as soon as my passport was scanned, I was surrounded by multiple Indian immigration officials, taken into custody and was informed that I had an hour to leave the country.”
At age 10 Philip had migrated with his family to the United States, where he was educated. He had a life-time visa to India and an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, but the immigration officials confiscated the card and his passport, telling him only that he was no longer welcome on orders of the Consulate General of India in Houston, Texas.
“It broke my heart to see my family from behind the cordoned-off section of the immigration detention centre. It was hard to watch my three young children crying, not knowing when they would see me again,” the Christian doctor told Morning Star News.
His children were 11, 9 and 7 at the time. He recalled sitting in his seat on the flight back to Istanbul, Turkey, the transit point from which he’d arrived, tears filling his eyes as he watched India disappear from view through the window, he said.
“Being deported from India and being separated from my wife and three young children was one of the most difficult days of my life,” he said. “It was hard to see my wife knowing that there was nothing she could do – realizing that I had never been this far away from her since we were married.”
In Istanbul, officials locked him in a detention cell with 25 others for 24 hours, until he could board a flight to Spain, a prior transit point, the next day.
“It was one of the darkest moments in my life to have my freedom taken away even though I had done nothing wrong except sacrifice a comfortable and lucrative life in the U.S. to serve those that were marginalized in India,” he said. “It was devastating to me and my family when I was ordered to leave this country and the people I love so much, with no explanation other than that the government no longer considered me welcome.”
From court records of the battle he fought for the next three years to regain his right to return to India, Philip could not detect who directed the consulate in Houston to order his deportation, he said. But he has not been the only Christian deported since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu extremist Bharatiya Janata Party assumed power in 2014.
His deportation was not an isolated case, as he became aware of numerous other individuals and families working with engineering organizations, hospitals or small businesses that were deported from India around the same time, he said.
“The only common thread among the deportations was that the individuals involved were Christians or working with Christian organizations in India,” he said. “We are also aware that it was the policy of the government to place individuals on a blacklist without informing them of such an action being taken, and the only time someone would find out about the blacklist was when they were trying to enter India.”
The failure to issue notices to the blacklisted Christians appears to have been intentional to prevent any type of judicial review since, once deported, they have limited legal ability to make legal challenges, he said.
Reasons for Deportation
With legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom-India (ADF-India) handling Philip’s case, the native of southern India’s Kerala state filed three petitions to the High Court of Delhi over the past three years seeking the reasons for his deportation.
In response to a petition filed in 2016, the counsel representing the government submitted in court that the consulate in Houston cancelled his visa because he was found to be engaging in “evangelical and subversive” activities. It further recommended that immigration authorities cancel the Christian’s OCI card.
In August 2017, officials passed an order under Section 7D (e) of the Citizenship Act that the cancelation of his OCI and lifetime visa was necessary in the interest of the sovereignty and integrity of the Indian subcontinent and its security and friendly relations with foreign countries, all in the interest of the general public. The order also cited involvement in missionary activities as the reason for Philip being blacklisted, preventing his re-entry into India.
The High Court permitted him to challenge the August 2017 order. But immigration authorities and the ministry of foreign affairs rejected the application, claiming he was involved in missionary and evangelical activities, and that he had suppressed his real purpose of conversion activities by carrying out medical work.
The officials said he was responsible for acting against the interest of general public, causing unrest and law and order problems.
Aggrieved by the narrative built against him, Philip through his ADF attorneys filed the third petition. Last month High Court of Delhi Justice Vibhu Bakhru ruled in a 23-page judgment that two matters had to be decided: First, whether the consulate had any reason to require the cancellation of Philip’s rights “in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India or in the interest” of the general public; and second, whether engaging in missionary activities in India was against the law.
The court called on authorities to produce all relevant materials that had led to the cancellation of Philip’s OCI. Government counsel Rajesh Gogna submitted a one-page report asserting that Philip was born in the United States, was registered with a U.S. missionary organization, was practicing medicine at Duncan Hospital in India and that he violated rules prohibiting missionary activities by OCI card-holders.
The report also expressed doubt that Philip had obtained a license from the Medical Council of India, although he had obtained one in 2014.
The court stated that the report contained untruths and requested that authorities submit the materials on which the assertions were based.
In response, immigration authorities, embassy and Houston consulate officials and the Ministry of External Affairs submitted printouts of blogs posted on the Web.
“The blogs only contained his experiences serving at Duncan Hospital and had no solid evidence suggesting Christo’s involvement in any activities that are regarded as against the nation’s interest,” a legal expert told Morning Star News.
No evidence or reports on investigations carried out against Philip that were submitted to the court were revealed to him, as he was accused of putting the integrity and security of the country in danger, the source said.
“The matter was highly confidential, and he was treated like a criminal through this entire episode of deportation,” the source said.
Verdict
On Jan. 8, the High Court in its ruling reminded the government that India is a secular country and that all persons therein have a right to practice their faith as they wish if it does not offend other people.
“If the petitioner’s faith motivates the petitioner to volunteer for medical services at a hospital, there is no law (certainly not of this land) that proscribes him from doing so,” the verdict read. “There is no material whatsoever that could even remotely suggest that the cancellation of the petitioner’s OCI card is in the interest of general public.”
It added that the cancellation of Philip’s OCI card would deprive impoverished patients much needed medical assistance, and therefore “would be contrary to public interest rather than in favor of public interest.”
Justice Bakhru further ruled that Philip’s right to practice his faith and his rendering medical service, “even if it is for furtherance of his religion, cannot be denied.”
The three-year legal battle thus came to an end as the High Court of Delhi set aside the consulate orders, directed officials to restore Philip’s OCI card and instructed them to ensure that there is no impediment to his entry into the country.
“We are so grateful to the judicial system in India for reaffirming these fundamental values guaranteed by the Indian constitution and held dear by all free democratic nations,” Philip told Morning Star News. “I’m grateful that the court recognized that I don’t have to compartmentalise my faith and my work. I am a Christian doctor, and I’m glad that I don’t have to turn my back on my faith to practice my profession.”
He added that his faith is what compels him to serve his fellow man, and that he was privileged to get the opportunity to do so through medicine.
A Passage to India
Still residing in Texas, Philip told Morning Star News that it is his dream and desire to return to India.
Since being deported, he and his wife have adopted six children between the ages of 1 and 8, in addition to their three children, he said.
“Our children were in foster care for several years before they came to our home, and so our primary goal has been to provide stability for them so that they can heal from the trauma and pain they endured before they came to us,” he said. “We know that at the right time, God will make it clear when we should return to India so that we can continue to train and mentor young medical professionals and provide holistic care for the poor and marginalized in India.”
Believing that God has given him the gift of a world-class education in the United States, Philip said he wants to return “to serve those that were left behind during the fast-paced development of modern India. [In Bihar] we loved our work and the tangible difference we made in the lives of people.”
The High Court verdict is a landmark judgment protecting the rights of foreigners working in Christian organizations to freely live out their faith in India, said ADF-India Director Tehmina Arora.
“It restricts the arbitrary action of the Ministry of Home affairs targeting foreigners merely because they are Christians,” Arora said.
The administration and police need to ensure that no one is targeted for their faith, and that everyone is able to freely exercise their fundamental right to practice and propagate their faith, as protected under the constitution of India, she said.
ADF-India recorded 292 cases of hostilities toward Christians in India last year. India ranked 10th in Christian support organization Open Doors’ 2019 World Watch List of countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian, up from 11th the previous year.
