Every state promotes its own values. These are the values of the U.S. government today.
“The State Department Used Your Tax Dollars To Fund a Film Festival That Depicted Drag Queens, Incest, and Pedophilia,” by Robert Schmad, Washington Free Beacon, July 19, 2022:
The State Department helped fund a film festival in September that featured movies depicting drag queens, incest, and pedophilia, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Queer Lisboa, an international queer film festival held in Portugal, was given $10,000 as part of the Biden administration’s push to “support LGBTQ+ and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility efforts” abroad, according to a State Department spokeswoman. The festival’s offerings included P.S. Burn This Letter Please, a documentary about drag culture in post-war New York City, Saint-Narcisse, a film about incestuous twins, and Minyan, a movie about a 17-year-old Jewish boy who leaves his parents to explore New York City’s gay scene and eventually has sex with an adult bartender.
The event was one of several bankrolled by taxpayers to promote LGBT acceptance abroad. In the last year, the State Department funded the “first gender and sexuality library in Lebanon,” provided diversity and inclusion consulting to Latin American police forces, and hosted a transgender recognition webinar in Norway, according to an interagency report. The department said locals sometimes pushed back against LGBT promotion, perceiving it as “Western,” “imported,” or “against cultural or religious values.”…

How do these people keep reproducing themselves?

You do NOT want to know…
They have been at this kind of thing under the radar for decades. It’s just out in the open now.
Bikinis not Burkas says
Homosexuals take the pill to prevent backwards children!
Kepha says
Very simple. They have control of education and the major media, and they recruit from among the young. Further, the government is promoting sexual deviance as something positive.
Don McKellar says
Drag queens and gays are one thing. Incest and pedophilia are something else entirely.
However it often seems that the drag queens and gays don’t see anything wrong with incest and pedophilia, because they promote them all the time in one way or another.
It does make one reflect on what might have caused somebody to become gay and a drag queen or a bizarre trans person. After all, there is no such thing as a gay gene, so they are not born that way.
CogitoErgoSum says
I have heard of a theory that if a woman has given birth to several girls before giving birth to a boy, that boy has a greater chance of being gay. I don’t know if research has been done to see if the same holds true for girls born after several brothers. But I don’t see how being gay can be genetic. Men having sex with men should a long time ago have resulted in gay men being eliminated from the gene pool. There must be something else going on that affects the chemistry in the brain and it’s likely the treatment should involve the brain instead of the body for those who think they were born in a body of the wrong sex.
Don McKellar says
I agree. Evolution would have take a gay gene out of the population whenever it mutated and happened, if there were such a thing. No gay gene has ever been found.
It would really be remarkable if there were such a thing developed as an anti-gay drug. Could you imagine the uproar?
It just seems like a phenomenon which will never be properly scientifically studied to find the cause or causes. It’s just too much of a hot button. I bet there’d be a lot of money in it for a company who would come up with a pill to stop it, though. If they weren’t in too much physical danger and crushed by political attacks.
What is absolutely true is that turning a man into a fake woman or a woman into a fake man or whatever else in between, isn’t the solution to anything. It’s just a lie. A lie is never a real solution. If there is no cure for gayness, then gays should accept themselves as they are and make the best of their lives honestly. They’re way better off not living a lie.
CogitoErgoSum says
I agree.
Grace says
Involution is our sex. The brain, as I am sure we all know can be easily manipulated if you start early enough. That is why a wise governor, DeSantis of Florida, band sexual orientation being taught n early school grades. Why must we sexualize our children so early?

Our food supply.
Estrogen is in everything.
Soy milk, Oat Milk, Almond milk ….. plant protein instead of animal protein.
All in the name of “health” and “save the planet”
joanofark06 says
What our food supply has to do with this article, I’d love for to you to explain!!!
And since you didn’t think about “organics”, then I’ll keep drinking my almond milk, that says it’s ORGANIC, until I found out that the brand I have, is LYING about being organic!
gravenimage says
Is this the “tofu makes men gay” claim? This appears to be baseless. For instance, the average Japanese man eats 16 times the amount of soy that Westerners do, but rates of homosexuality appear to be about the same.
And unless you are lactose intolerant or vegan, you can drink dairy milk. Of course, most dairy milk really is full of estrogen.
Bikinis not Burkas says
Incest and pedophilia are part of Aboriginal culture in Australia, one only has to read the neswpapers or watch news reports of the white colonists imposing their rules on the “First Nations people”.

somehistory says
The “government” is no longer what the Founders wanted, imagined, wrote into Law. It is now a bloated pervert, a thief…takes money from those who actually work for it…and spends it on things those hardworking people who agree with the Founders would never approve.
Years ago, when the homosexuals were wanting to exit the “closet” and just “be accepted,” many of us who identify with what we were created to be, warned that it was a ‘slippery slope” and that when they got what they wanted, they would want more; and then ‘unions,’ and then a fake “marriage” and demanding to adopt children they could not have on their own; and then we warned about the multiple wives and the lusters after the little kids being called ‘normal.”
Now, here we are. and not only are they “accepted,” but Congress just voted to protect their fake ‘marriage’ and if the Senate passes it, then from there…who knows? Since the State Department…how can this be a part of what that “department” was meant to do?…is using cash to fund this perversion, that slope has been well-greased.
the putrid and feculent pit is at the bottom of that slope.
Wellington says
Seconded, somehistory. Whatever was wrong with the America I was born in in 1951—and there were definitely things wrong with it—America still possessed a self-correcting mechanism whether by law, societal standards changing, increasing affluence, etc.
But now the America of 2022 is not only possessed of faults that can be corrected; it has entered an era of true aggregate sickness in which the immoral has become moral and the moral are looked upon as bigoted anachronisms.
Beyond sad. Actually quite tragic and perhaps even lethal.
somehistory says
Wellington, when society is sick…and this one certainly is…it can only produce sick individuals who are guided by what they see and hear. Too few parents know what to do or how to do it against a system that seems designed to corrupt the kids. so more and more are untrained for life.
so many parents are killing their little kids, and so many are out there killing other people’s kids and so many of the killers are said to be mentally ill.
remember the show about the person answering questions to get to be a millionaire and they had “lifelines” or the show about the cab driver who asked questions…”cash cab’ and gave money for each right answer…had people they could ask to help them out when they were stuck?
there once were people a young person could trust to tell them wise and experienced advice. Now…too few people seem able to direct their own life through the mire…so there are none available to advise the young.
And the government only hands out restrictions on the good things and will then lavish praise and money on the bad and perverse.
It is “lethal.”
Wellington says
Perhaps, somehistory, the great ancient historian, Polybius, was correct after all, and that is that all societies, even the greatest, are cyclical—birth, growth, apogee and then decline.
I see this now with American society. I wish I didn’t. I dearly hope I am wrong but I fear Polybius was correct.
And all this didn’t need to happen in America’s case if only more people stood up to the rot of modern Western Leftism, which is the chief culprit in America’s decline. Coming in second place is the cowardice of the non-Left too afraid to speak their minds about what has happened to America. But Reagan did. Trump most certainly did. But many, many more Reagans and Trumps are needed if an exception to Polybius’ theory is to manifest itself.
somehistory says
I listen to Glenn Beck a few times a week. Last week, I think it was, he played a few clips from Mr. Reagan speaking in the ’60’s. I had always thought he was just a soft-spoken actor…until he became president…but those clips showed me otherwise. He had a unique voice and the knowledge of how best to use it.
He was a very intelligent guy, but I recall that many wanted to portray him as a fool, and used his wife’s, shall I say, “ways,”?…to prove it. I believe too few recognized his intelligent mind and his knowledge on the right way to do things. They saw him as an actor in silly movies. It’s kind of funny now, to see so many “actors” and others in the “entertainment’ field, getting involved in telling us how things should be done….without a clue.
and I agree with you, Wellington. Too few people are willing to stand up and tell the Truth…on whatever subject is being discussed…for fear of being ridiculed and called names. that, I’m afraid, is the way it has always been.
James Lincoln says
Wellington says,
“Perhaps, somehistory, the great ancient historian, Polybius, was correct after all, and that is that all societies, even the greatest, are cyclical—birth, growth, apogee and then decline.”
This is currently happening to the United States of America. With the right America First leadership, a lot of the damage could be reversed but that is not what is happening right now…
An analogy can also be made to corporate America:
Think of what has happened to Disney, Kodak, Toys “R” Us, Blockbuster, Polaroid, Pan Am, etc.
Kepha says
Sigh. I fear I will live long enough (and I am already old) to see the ephebophilic priests let out of the slammer with full pardons and compensation for loss of time. They will whine about how a “Puritan culture” destroyed the “beautiful initiation of the young into the glories of sex” that they were practicing, and the MSM will cluck sympathetically.
It’s also likely that we’ll have a host of young people coming out of the woodwork with woeful tales of growing up buggered or otherwise injured by “Two Dads” (oops, dad and the creepy guy who edged Mom out of my life) or “Two Mommies” (think RObert Oscar Lopez, Moira Greyland),. The ame lawyers who made careers arguing for Roe and Obergefell will take up their cases by suing every institution that made such a state of affairs possible, and then waltz off into made-in-the-shade retirement. Yes, law has nothing to do with morality.
A great time to be a lawyer!

It is such a weird world these days where the far out there left agenda seems to have been accepted so much. I wonder whether it is all a bit like the fall of the Roman Empire with the bizarre, self indulgent nonsense that is said to have gone on back then. For the US government to fund this film festival in Portugal seems to be a very strange use of tax payers’ money. I suppose they think that it would buy some votes in the gay community back in the USA.
somehistory says
I agree, Tim. About the Romans and the state dept buying votes.
It seems to me that one side is polite, respectful, calm, and clear-headed, willing to let the other side speak.
The other side, is rude, overbearing, loud, selfish, fierce, disrespectful, uncaring, unwilling to ever admit to being wrong…which they are most often…and willing to fight violently and lie to keep the first side from speaking and being heard by those who may be undecided.
and if the undecided turn toward the calm. respectful ones, they are attacked by mobs.
tim gallagher says
Yes, somehistory, the fascist left are extremely intolerant of anybody who dares to oppose their supposedly virtuous point of view. From their point of view, no one seems to be allowed to step out of line. This is discussed quite a lot here in Australia by the conservative commentators I watch and listen to, I suppose because they do cop plenty of vicious attacks from the fascist left. On the fall of the Roman Empire, a conservative friend of mine, who studied Ancient History, unlike me, mentioned that to me. i don’t know enough about that period of history to know,so I was relying on what he told me. He is a knowledgeable type of person, so I would say he would be right.
somehistory says
I’ve studied history some., tim, ..not as much as a lot of people. My father absorbed it like eating, but I have been a busy person until I began having health problems. Now, I have so much less energy than before, it seems difficult to take in all that stuff when history is being made everyday….just as important as what has happened before to others.
I have seen some artwork of that time…indulgences in immorality, and selfishness was depicted by several artists. a picture, you know. Much easier than reading about all of the awful things.
But, from what I did study, it seems that overindulgence in those things was the ruin of the nation and when others came along who were more devoted to getting things done, the Romans were easy pickings.
they had begun strong…building roads and plumbing and great buildings, but they also engaged in evil things, such as the persecution of Christians.
So, they brought destruction upon themselves.
this seems to be so much like that…history repeating.
tim gallagher says
I studied Modern History, mostly European History, and English Literature, ages ago at university, somehistory, tried to teach them, failed at that and was glad to leave school teaching. I do still like to read about history, although I haven’t done much of that lately, since I have mainly been trying to write some half decent songs and polishing up my keyboard playing. I remember that that friend of mine has said a couple of times that the western world these days, in many countries, does somewhat resemble the falling apart of the Roman Empire. I would believe what he says about it. More modern history has always interested me far more than ancient history.
somehistory says
tim,
I just received an email from Hillsdale College…with an offer of a *free* online course on the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire.
they have a DVD set they are sending to those who contribute 100 dollars, along with a free map of the empire.
I thought, because of our conversation, the email coming now was just too interesting to ignore.
tim gallagher says
I hope you enjoy the course, somehistory. I am defintiely more interested in modern history. My studying days are well and truly over. I have a few modern history books lying around at home that I have previously read and will maybe one day get around to reading again. Not sure it will happen, but it is vaguely in my mind to do so.
somehistory says
oh, Tim, I don’t have the time now to take the course. I just thought the timing of the offer was interesting. I have too many things on my mind to worry about the romans and why they sent down.
But, I hope you get to the books if you decide you really want to

Kepha says
Speaking as a teacher, I’ll tell you that such tales are the tip of the iceberg.
But, what do we expect when the sexual revolution has pervaded every corner of American life? What do we expect when our young are told by pop music, movies, social media, etc. that they’re supposed to be sexual explorers? What do we expect when a man’s measure is his sexual conquests?
joanofark06 says
Every corner of American life? Try not to be negative, or a pessimist, about all your fellow Americans. Every baby is born…with a good heart/soul, and if or when they grow up, with good or decent parents, the chances of satan getting a hold on them is very slim, unless that person grows up with society teaching him other ways, his/her parents don’t know about. But many people grow up good and kind. I could tell you about how I met two wonderful strangers, where each helped me out, seperately, on a trip I took a few weeks ago. But I’ll only say, it sure gave me hope in humanity, again. They didn’t have to help me…anyway, it was a good day, when something bad happened to me, that day. I think that they’ll always be good people in this world, somewhere. And a lot of bad…but God helps!
Yes, satan IS on this earth, and has been since the beginning, as we know from THIS VERSE:
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 12:9
But we can have hope for the more intelligent ones, to know better.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7
There’s a lot more I could say on this subject, but here’s the MAIN POINT. God gave us the freedom to CHOOSE.
But I know it’s a lot easier to choose the side of satan/evil, than it is, to dedicate your life to God.
Because Satan works harder to get people away from God. So any NEW believer, has a tough time at the beginning, as you can probably imagine….Satan HATES a new believer, but Satan copies a lot of what God does and says, to fool them, and have them thinking that their following God. But it’s harder for him to get his claws in you, when your dedicated to knowing God and His Word!
I have spent years, putting certain verses on different subjects of the bible, into the appropriate subject folder, and so I learned a lot about satan and his ways, with the many verses I have about him. Because if you know God’s, and don’t know Satan, then you would be blaming God for everything bad that happens to YOU, and around the world (And that’s why a lot of people walk away from God and His religion of Christianity).
So you MUST know evil AND good, to level the playing field, so to speak. You can’t know one without the other. So when someone gets mad at God, and curses Him for a murder of a loved family member, that happened, THIS is what they DON’T KNOW:
Satan is directly called the “father of lies” and a “murderer” (John 8:44)
so anyway, I have many verses, but I’ll make this comment short, and share one more verse, and say that Satan is known by many names, and since I shared that verse, about satan and his demons being sent down here to earth, then you can already know who the “god of this world” is, here:
the “god of this world” has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:4

State Department spent tax dollars on film festival promoting drag queens, incest, pedophilia

Wait–not the NEA, but the *State Department*? And promoting drag queens with American tax dollars is just inappropriate; promoting *incest and pedophilia* is *evil*.

The agenda of the left is to erase history.You start with the books, then the statues, the customs ,religion..
They say within three generations the task is complete. You replace obedient children with over indulged brats. If you ask an entrepreneur , “How’s the hiring these days?”. They will tell you it is impossible to hire competent help. Where once upon a time you presented your company policy and disciplines, the subject either agreed or left the office. Now the subject presents their expectations to the employer.. For the world as we once knew it it is only a matter of time and time is running short.

Wow, this news/title/article is so unbelievable, but so evil, sick, etc etc. It’s so hard to believe, that I just don’t want to believe it! This is OUR government?? Surely, it can’t be!
If I didn’t know that Satan was on this earth, and didn’t know that, as we get closer to the “endtime, this world will get worse and worse, I’d be asking why God allows this kind of evil.
But as He says “Be IN this world, but not OF it.
Do not love the world or the things in the world.
The love of the Father is not in those who love the world; for all that is in the world–
the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes,
the pride in riches–comes not from the Father but from the world.
And the world and its desire are passing away,
but those who do the will of God live forever.
1 Jn 2:15-17
And He gave us many words of hope, but let us know, things must happen first, before it’s all over. And to watch for the SIGNS of them. And these “things” will come faster and faster, like the pains of a woman, ready to give birth, such as:
“birth pangs” (Isaiah 26:17)
“like birth pains” (Matthew 24:3-8)
This means the frequency and intensity of these signs will increase as we near His return.
in the last days “evil will wax worse and worse.” (II Tim. 3:13)
And here’s a link to a video, that might answer for someone, the question of “Why is there evil in the world?” It’s a Christian website, sooo…(but a good one).
Well, the State Dept has fallen to satanism…and there’s nothing anyone can do for them…except pray for the individual(s) allowing this to happen. I wonder how many Christians were in there, and had to walk away, over this? Sad…
