ROYAL LAMBDA COUNCIL OF CHURCHES MEETS IN EMERGENCY SESSION.

The Rev. Dr. Ellen J. Doherty-Wilson, executive director of the Royal Lambda Council of Churches, today announced that the Executive Board has called an emergency session this weekend to reply to the so-called "Manhattan Manifesto", issued by the leading prelates of the Roman Catholic Church, conservative Anglicans in communion with Dr. Akinola of Nigeria, and the celebrity personnages of the Protestant Fundamentalist Evangelical Christian theocrats in the United States.

Dr. Doherty-Wilson indicated that the Manifesto has international implications because the main signatories are Roman Catholic cardinals, archbishops and bishops and have implications throughout the nations who are battling the Holy See on civil and marital rights for its GLBT citizens. The Dominion of Lambda, as the GLBT virtual state, is implicated in that "declaration of theocratic intent" on matters that affect the civil and judicial rights of GLBT citizens worldwide.

In Lambda, only Churches who sign assent to the Lambda Charter of Rights and Freedoms may legally operate within the Dominion of Lambda. Many GLBT Christians practice their faith outside the official recognition of their international bodies. The Roman Catholic Church is forbidden to openly practice their homophobic faith in the Dominion of Lambda. Mainline Protestant Churches who are openly homophobic are also forbidden to openly practice in Lambda.

Roman Catholics, for example, if observant, are communicants of the liberal Lambda National Catholic Church, and its Catholic Apostolic Diocese with more conservative faith and practice. The Anglican Church of Lambda is recognised by the more liberal national and associative GLBT affirming Anglican churches and is only an associative member of the Anglican Communion.

The weekend meeting will end with a Jamestown Manifesto that will answer the homophobic Christian worldwide theocratic zealotry. The entire manifesto will be printed here as soon as it is published.

Prime Minister Raymond Decelles-Smith (Cons.-Wilde) and Liberal Opposition Leader Sandra Lubrano, of Toklas issued a joint communique supporting the Royal Lambda Council of Churches meeting. Both the Government and the Opposition agree with the legal proscriptions against the Vatican and other homophobic Churches. All major world religions who oppose gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equal rights in Lambda are forbidden entry into the Dominion of Lambda.

PRIME MINISTERS CONFRONTS HOMOPHOBIC CHURCHES MANIFESTO.

Lambda Conservative Prime Minister Raymond Decelles-Smith was joined by Liberal Leader Sandra Lubrano in a joint statement issued by Parliament condemning the so-called "Manhattan Manifesto"issued by the Roman Catholic Church and major Protestant Christian Evangelical leaders in New York, NY, USA, but intended for all nations with gay-affirming marriage equality laws.

TORY DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER CAROLYN POWER ADDRESSES CONSERVATIVE ALLIANCE OF INTERNATIONAL LAMBDA SUPPORTERS .

Deputy Prime Minister Carolyn Power today addressed the Conservative Alliance of International Lambda Supporters , in Wilde Province's Chamber of Commerce. The Tory deputy head of government has received political support from Conservative GLBT groups throughout the world, including conservative leaders in the United States.

Prime Minister Decelles-Smith was in Ottawa, Canada for a meeting with Commonwealth Conservative Party leaders, and was expected to return to Jamestown this evening.

"The role of the Conservative Party of Lambda", stated the DPM, " is to discuss economic and social programmes in the light of full freedom and equality for GLBT citizens. We agree with the Liberal Party of Lambda on all issues that divide us outside this GLBT nation."

In fact, Liberal Leader Sandra Lubrano was in Toklas Province discussing similar issues from the Liberal perspective. Deputy Liberal Leader Pall Heinar Einarrson was also present at that meeting and also addressed the crowd and introduced Ms. Lubrano.

Ms. Power's remarks followed her official duties as a reserve colonel in the Royal Lambda National Guard. Aside from the establishment of the Royal Lambda Mounted Police, the RLNG functions as the national militia and border control military component.

In preparing for her remarks, the deputy prime minister was quick to define the Conservative Party of Lambda as "progressive and more descriptive of the now defunct Canadian Progressive Conservative Party before being hijacked by the Reform/Alliance reactionary party." When she refers to American politics, the American dual national reminded fellow Conservative supporters that the liberal and moderate US Republicans were also hijacked by the reactionary racist Dixiecrats, and that she was a "liberal to moderate" in her former nation. "Political labels require definitions," said Ms. Power. Ms. Power and her wife and beloved dogs live in Toklas Province's beautiful Alicetown community.

Her remarks follow:

If you ask the average American if he is liberal or conservative, his or her probable response is "conservative." In my opinion, they would be wrong. After all, the highly partisan and extremely reactionary Republicans still hold power despite losses in 2006 and 2008. Our national political debate is between those Republicans and loosely partisan and extremely diverse Democrats who have surrendered its leadership to the corporate, conservative, moderate Blue Dog wing . The Liberals and Progressives have been punked within the political party known for those beliefs, and honoured for those accomplishments.
Conservative billionaires enjoy the virtual monopoly they have over the governing philosophy of America. For three decades, and especially since Ronald Reagan, they bought it. They paid billions to create it, and they intend to keep it. They have successfully removed the reactionary libertarian, and the moderate and liberal wings from power, and lately, from office entirely in many regions of the nation. The Party of Abraham Lincoln and Abolition, of the Grand Army of the Republic and Reconstruction has morphed into the resurrection of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis, the Ku Klux Klan, and White male-dominated Theocratic Supremacy.
The MSM, once a privately-owned entity, with its news division as a "non-profit lost leader" in a for profit business, is now fully for profit. This includes the "infotertainment programming" that passes for the "objective journalism" of the past. We can now discern which network is the visual, aural, printed or virtual arm of the Republican National Committee. We can equally discern who is centrist and afraid to appear the least "liberal or progressive" since a pragmatic president , a conservative Democrat, signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996, in order to win re-election. (As a gay man, I would be amiss if I did not add DOMA that year as well, and DADT at the start of his many betrayals to all liberal partisans.)
The irony is that the Corporate Brahmans created the stigma of the "L-Word" (no, the other one), we know by polling that the plurality of Americans would never want to lose all the liberal programmes that define the Democratic Party. Social Security, Medicare, VA Benefits, and yes, Health Care, are all the brain children or aspirations of the iconic presidents.....Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson.....and if the truth be known, by progressive Republicans like Theodore Roosevelt, whose wing of the GOP has died the death of dinosaurs. TR knew the "malefactors of wealth" in the Gilded Age. Their great-grandchildren of these Corporate Titans make them appear to have acted like choir boys.
A gift of William Jefferson Clinton was the loss of "mom and pop" radio stations in the nation. As a result of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the free airwaves ( not paid satellite radio ) have become a national duopoly owned by right wing billionaires who have inundated the schedule with three hour programmes of the most successful prevaricators ever to open their mouths. Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.....reactionary college dropout shock jocks .... and Bill O'Reilly, the graduate degreed reactionary exception......have defined and encouraged the many other reactionary pundits who have a voice and a corporeal presence on Fox News.
If the majority of Americans want to retain Social Security, Medicare and VA benefits as government single payer programmes, and wanted a single payer system for Health Care, how have the Corporate Oligarchs pre-empted the process, and have forced pragmatic conservaDems to vote in the largest compulsory Corporate rape ever malevolently conceived by these villains?
The answer is simple. You vote them in, after they have been punked and bought outrightly by the Corporate Brahmans. The "sacred cow" programmes of Social Security and Medicare and VA Benefits are not removed, but rather, deceptively diminished in its effectiveness, and in its costing. These are the greediest individuals ever produced from privileged wombs. They lie about their support of these programmes, while they strip them gradually, and create loopholes that require supplementary products purchased from greedy insurance giants. They betray their own with lies, and the Sheeple actually vote their Wolves into office against their own economic, political and spiritual values.
WE ARE A NATION OF SHEEP, GOVERNED BY WOLVES, AND OWNED BY PIGS. There is no doubt about it. Ask yourself why we are ranked the LOWEST among first world industrialised nations in health care, life expectancy,higher education, infant deaths, and simply QUALITY OF LIFE? . One American expatriate in Michael Moore's SICKO said it best, and worth its repetition " In Europe, (and Canada), the Government is afraid of its PEOPLE, while in the United States, THE SHEEPLE ARE AFRAID OF THEIR GOVERNMENT. and, I might add, with good reasons, since George W. Bush implemented the tools of totalitarianism in the dark of night eight and more years ago, and reinforced since, with the complicity of the two reactionary wings of what passes as "two" political parties.
PART DEUX will focus upon more of these concepts, and specifically how it affects the GLBT community and the true Corporate response as they assuage the Theocratic base of support. Do not confuse the two pieces of the puzzle. The Secular Corporate Oligarchs are not fundamentalist theocrats. Their lives do not reflect this one iota. Like the history of Western Civilisation informs, the Theocratic Piece is a means of societal control. It no longer exists in Europe, either from Rome, Canterbury or Geneva. It exists in the United States with fundamentalist Protestant Christianity, with the open complicity of the Roman Catholic Church. The United States of America is not a closeted theocracy, as previously alluded. It is rather a neo-theocracy, openly defined and wholly complicit within the extreme reactionary Republican Party.

The Deputy Prime Minister, who also holds the ministerial portfolio on the environment, stated that she would hold a seminar on this issue within the next few months. Ms. Power has also invited His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, to visit Lambda at his earliest convenience.

LIBERAL LEADER LUBRANO SPEAKS TO UNITED STATES EXPATRIATES AND DUAL NATIONAL LAMBDANS ON CONTINUED GLBT STRIFE IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The Right Honourable Sandra Lubrano, MP, the Leader of the Liberal Opposition in the House of Commons addressed expatriate Americans who are dual nationals of the Dominion of Lambda. It is believed that national polls suggest that Tory PM Raymond Decelles-Smith will face serious challenges in the polls in mid-2010 if the Liberals continue to grow in popular support.

Leader Lubrano's comments follow:



" In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human" - Senator Prescott Bush, Connecticut Republican and Episcopalian. Father of President George HW Bush and Grandfather of President George W. Bush. ....quoting President Eisenhower in the Congressional Record...February 18, 1955.






According to national polls, American citizens believe in the separation of church and state. These same polls state clearly that they consider this nation theistic and nevertheless, opposed to theocracy. This having been said, the Roman Catholic Church, the fundamentalist Christian Protestants, and the Mormons have been especially activist in repealing GLBT civil marriage equality and similar rights.



There are basically three different approaches to confronting these Right Wing Religionists. Each approach has both strategy and theological sincerity in both their implementation and outcomes.
The first approach is to admit that religions and faith systems have the right and responsibility to promote their own moral codes, and within legal and cultural constraints, attempt to influence their members to both live their lives according to their precepts, and to assure that their beliefs are not declared either unconstitutional or illegal in the secular domain. Within this approach lies the responsibility of heterodox believers and non-believers to engage these fellow citizens to assure that the theocratic concerns are addressed and avoided.



The second approach is to identify extreme reactionary theocrats who erroneously believe that they alone hold the moral high ground, and that full freedom, including marriage equality will not only earn perdition for the individual "sinner", but will simultaneously undermine the very nature of the Republic.This strategy confirms the fact that the world's major religions oppose marriage equality and other civil rights for GLBT citizens, and that only an exclusive secular and civil response will win the needed legislation enacted to end the separate and unequal "psychosexual apartheid" in the United States.



The religious leaders within the more liberal denominations advocate pleading with these homophobic theistic religions to cease and desist from engaging in secular warfare, and to acknowledge that many civil laws may and in the case of civil divorce, are "mortally sinful" for their communicants to engage in. Nevertheless, our GLBT activist clerics remind and admonish, their Church does not advocate against the American civil laws allowing divorce and remarriage. Neither do their civil servants and judges refuse to grant said divorces and remarriages based upon a theological opposition to those acts.



The third approach is the strategy that I both promote and advocate. Regardless of the fact that the hierarchy of the world's largest Christian denomination opposes my civil rights, I do not cede the moral high ground to them. Despite the fact that most of Eastern Orthodox Christianity agrees with them does not add credence to their contention. Never mind the fact that fundamentalist reactionary and theocratic Kristian Klan white supremacists feel that the United States should terminate their separation of church and state for the avoidance of national perdition, I do not cede the moral high ground to them.
There are liberal glbt and gay-affirming heterosexual Christians in this country, and elsewhere. These progressive and enlightened theological voices read the same scriptural authorities, and administer the same sacraments as those who engage in a "scorched earth" policy to bait and switch their paedophilic scandals. These individuals do not use the Bible as their weapon of choice. They are contextual in their interpretation, and not literal with hypocritical subjectivity.
The third approach says that we must admit that the "holy homophobes" are culturally if not actively the majority religion in the nation. These strange bedfellows are engaged in warfare for bodies. Catholics are leaving their Church for Protestantism in numbers not seen since the Reformation. Fear is the catalyst for the second Inquisition, and this time, theological purity is exacted not against Protestants and Jews, but this time, it is the GLBT person, regardless of belief, and in the civil context where theocracy is officially proscribed, but sadly, subtly expressed nonetheless.
GLBT and our allies know the difference between what the Bible "says" and what the Bible "reads". I am also reminded that neither Anglicanism nor Catholicism was established as the official theistic expression in this Republic. I am reminded that the founding fathers were nominal theists and professed Deists. They were clearly the children of eighteenth century Enlightenment. The fundamentalist revisionism is a new phenomena, probably simultaneously suggested to a nation woefully ignorant of its civic and political history. Ask Jay Leno. He has proven those glaring examples of ignorance for decades.
For years now, I have chronicled the same theological wars successfully fought in eight nations where civil marriage equality is legal and culturally accepted by the majority of its population. In many of these nations, the Roman Catholic Church holds the cultural and observant allegiance of a majority in these populations . Spain, once a Catholic theocracy under Franco, has both pluralism and marriage equality. Canada has a majority Catholic population, as does Belgium. Soon, Portugal will complete marriage equality on the Iberian Peninsula. The Netherlands have a split decision among Catholics and Calvinists. Norway and Sweden have established Lutheran confessions. A majority of South Africans are Anglicans. Yet, the Lutheran Scandanavian Churches embrace GLBT Marriage Equality. The ACC and the United Church of Canada embrace GLBT Marriage Equality.
The name of the Rev. Dr. Brent Hawkes,OC and the Most Rev. Dr. Desmond Tutu loom large over the decisions to legislate civil law over the malevolence of the Roman Catholic Church in those nations. Will the United States find such a person to emulate the witness of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? Do I not remind my readers that the AA Civil Rights successes were not won under the secular but the spiritual umbrella? When has history ever informed us that a subjective secular political issue trumped a moral imperative, even if the "moralists" are disingenuous and derisive of Christian love and compassion?
Those are the choices. Those are the strategies. There are spiritual leaders whom I both love and admire who advocate differently than I do. There are those among them who allow GAY INC to write the script. They advocate gradualism, incrementalism, and compromise to the point of capitulation. This includes gay and lesbian men and women elected to Congress, and appointed to serve in the Obama Administration.

The Dominion of Lambda stands as a beacon of freedom and equality for all GLBT persons and the families, immediate and extended, who love them. We hope and sincerely pray that the United States of America soon join those civilised nations who provide equal justice under law for all its citizens, and resists the apartheid that the Union of South Africa rejected, and four years ago, provided its GLBT citizens with full justice and equality as well.

GOVERNOR GENERAL DELIVERS SPEECH TO INVITED FOREIGN DIGNITARIES

The Governor General of the Dominion of Lambda, the Right Honourable Mrs. Lee Dorsey, delivered similar themes expressed in the Throne Speech last week to visiting foreign dignitaries at Wilde House, the official residence of the Governor General.

The Governor General's remarks follow:

In 1896, Theodor Herzl, the father of political Zionism, wrote the JUDENSTAAT, the Jewish state. Fifty-two years before the establishment of Israel, the actual Jewish state, Herzl gave cogent reasons why the world needed to establish a homeland for a persecuted community murdered in pogroms, and reviled in politics and literature and Christian theocracies for millennia. Herzl himself could not, at its writing, envision the Final Solution, the Holocaust, that nearly exterminated the Jewish race in Europe, both Ashkenazi and Sephardic communities in diaspora.
The establishment of the Jewish State (JUDENSTAAT) did not imply that all Jews would eventually emigrate to their homeland. Assuredly, implicit dual citizenship was noted. Worldwide able bodied men and women, and even those less able, came to the defence of Israel in its initial formation in 1948, and in the subsequent wars of survival in the last six decades. Zionism had a socialistic component in the kibbutz, where everyone came together with their skills and talents to contribute to the commonweal.
They came for religious freedom and for secular self-governance. They came to create the Jewish state, but did so with the promise and reality of religious and secular freedom for those who did not share their religion, or practice it with the fervency of the orthodox observant person.
It is time to ask if the blueprint for the GLBT state is not upon us. The creation of the Dominion of Lambda is such an exercise in virtual expression of the need for such a nation state. Like Israel, it would not become the home for all GLBT persons, families and supportive friends and extended families, but rather a homeland where all would have citizenship when their native land would persecute them unto death or provide them with inferior rights and privileges.
Like the model state described herein, the world knows that there are now eight and almost nine countries who have full marriage equality while a dozen more provide separate but equal rights to marriage. There are nations who murder us legally and nations who refuse to provide a modicum of rights and remove them with prejudice. However if you seek to survive in the latter nations, you do so at the peril of life and limb, and you need the safety of our own nation state.
Echoing the words of Moses to Pharoah, it is time to say loudly and firmly. We must speak as a world community from all parts of the five continents......PHAROAH (S) .......LET MY PEOPLE GO.... GIVE US OUR OWN HOMELAND .

The speech, written by the Tory government, was attended by both the Prime Minister Decelles-Smith and the Opposition Leader Lubrano, and various members of both the Senate and the House of Commons.

LAMBDA NATIONAL CATHOLIC PRIMATE CALLS FOR SELF EXCOMMUNICATION LETTER TO ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

In the aftermath of a worldwide persecution of GLBT Lambda family in diaspora, the Primate of the Lambda National Catholic Church, and the Catholic Apostolic Diocese in union with it, has issued a call for cultural and observant Roman Catholics to self excommunicate themselves formally from the Vatican jurisdiction.

The Lambda National Catholic Church is autocephalous or independent gay and gay-affirming jurisdiction separate from the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic does not recognise the LNCC or the CAD regardless of its Catholic faith and practice and valid Holy Orders. Lambda National Catholics, many of whom were Roman Catholics at one time, could not incardinate formally into their new Church.

The Most Reverend Norbert Breault, DD, LLD, the Archbishop of Jamestown and Primate of the Lambda National Catholic Church has invited all former "cultural" Catholics who oppose the Papal proscription and persecution of GLBT persons nationwide to consider the following formal step and to proceed accordingly:

1) Identify the parish church and the particular diocese in which you were baptised or received into the Roman Catholic Church, and which diocesan bishop confirmed you.

2) Send a letter of self excommunication to the Roman Catholic parish where your baptismal records are kept for posterity. You are considered a Catholic, albeit "lapsed", until you formally excommunicate yourself. It is then that the hypocrisy of their numbers comes to light.

3) Send a copy of the letter to the Roman Catholic archdiocese or diocese where the parish is located. If you attended more than one parish in more than one archdiocese or diocese, send them a letter as well.

4) Notify GLBT and other media in order to count the number of cultural and now former Roman Catholics who have formally left the organisation. If you are still sacramentally observant, write to the LNCC for the names and numbers of gay affirming Catholic jurisdictions in your area.

Dear Most Reverend or Reverend Sirs,

My name is ................................... . I am the son of ................................. I was born on (date) in .........(city, county, state) and canonically resident within the (Arch) diocese of .,.................. and the parish church of ..........(name of parish.)

As a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender person, I hold the Roman Catholic Church in contempt for its theocratic agenda in denying me, my spouse and my children my civil rights. It is not necessary to recount my utter disgust at the paedophilic scandals that have identified your Church, nor your determination to scapegoat us in the process. I feel saddened by the fact that hard-earned dollars from sincere Roman Catholic parishioners has been used to advance the agenda in Maine and elsewhere.

It is hoped that you have won a Pyrhhic victory, for the United States Constitution assures me equal rights under law. In attempting to obtain these secular and civil rights, I do not want my former association with your Church to be implied due to the lack of formal rupture.

Therefore, I personally and formally excommunicate myself from the Roman Catholic Church (excommunicatio pro se). Many of us are Christians, and have not experienced such spiritual violence as to lose faith in Christ and His Church, and have found Catholicism outside Rome that affirms our place within His Mystical Body. Others, however, have harboured such hurt and pain that they remain forever outside any belief or organisation that professes a theistic faith.

Yours sincerely,

(Your name)

THRONE SPEECH......LET MY PEOPLE GO.....

In solemn ceremony, in the Senate of the Dominion of Lambda, with the House of Commons invited to hear the Throne Speech, the Governor General delivered the speech written by the Tory government recently elected to govern the virtual nation state.

Prime Minister Decelles-Smith and Opposition Leader Lubrano led a delegation of the House of Commons to the Senate to hear the legislation to be proposed at this Opening of Parliament.

The themes discussed were those voiced during the recent election campaign. There are proposals in terms of health care, education and social programmes that have general agreement between both major political parties in Parliament. It was clear in statements made by the Liberal opposition, that the differences lie in depth and extension of programmes proposed by the Tory government. In terms of foreign policy, the theme was Mosaic in its appeal.

Speaking to nations with GLBT Lambdans who hold dual citizenship, the message was clear.

"Either you provide full and equal rights to our shared citizenry, " uttered the Governor General Lee Dorsey, "as have eight nations of the world, or a dozen more with federal recognition approaching full equality, or our message is clear, PHAROAH, LET MY PEOPLE GO." Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Lambdans in diaspora need full protection under your laws. If your intention is to relegate GLBT citizens to permanent second class status, you should provide them with the needed resources and protection of your government . You should assist them to leave your nations permanently so that they can come home from diaspora to a land who loves them."

Without mentioning the nation by name, it was clear that the foreign policy parts of the Throne Speech was primarily aimed at nations, in the Islamic nations who murder our people. In the so-called Christian nations, especially the reactionary theocratic nations led by the United States of America, the repeal of laws providing limited civil marriage rights hung heavily among those with dual nationality with that nation. In recent days, Immigration and Naturalisation requests from American citizens has increased significantly. Certificates of Citizenship for these families, couples and single persons is fast tracked due to a law that expires 31 December 2009. The new Lambda Citizenship Act takes effect on 1 January 2010, and will be more complex to emigrate as easily as the law presently allows.
