Human Rights and National Trashcans
Timothy Birdnow
I heartily agree with this essay. Rights that do not come from God are no rights at all.
Our modern era pretty much accepts the idea of Rousseau, who wrote in The Social Compact that rights were essentially the collective will of the People (Rousseau was the father of socialism). That view is essentially what is taught in our universities these days. And it is entirely anti-Christian as it presupposes God does not exist and thus should have no role in our society.
But even if God doesn't exist (and there are so very many reasons to believe He does) we are at least appealing to an absolute and thus cannot renege on rights. Community-granted "rights" are mere privileges, to be revoked when society deems they should.
And it is this basic belief in the Divine nature of rights that is the cornerstone of all of our success. Economics and politics are all downstream from Faith. We've been systematically kicking God out of society and at the same time have witnessed the economic and civil decline of America. That is no coincidence. When people stop believing in absolutes they then believe in their own will and in power alone. Power can control, force people, but it cannot get people to act decently because that's the right thing to do. And in a power-structure state the corruption and depravity all around the citizenry leads them to try to grab what they can. Crime is a logical act in a Godless society. In a moral society it's absolutely inexcusable.
The article agrees. It states:
I don't know if I would say we PREFER a Godless universe, but probably a majority agree with the arguments made by the Godless, as they have never heard good arguments from the remnant of the Faithful. Too few Christians bother to educate themselves on the philosophy and the science behind God. Regular readers of this blog know I've given a great many arguments rooted in science that strongly suggest there is a God. (One simple example; why do people believe in a God or gods at all? We seem hard-wired to do so and isolated peoples quickly devolve into mysticism. But there is no society on Earth, and never has been, that is formally atheistic except the old Eastern Block, which was horribly repressive and collapsed within decades of it's triumph over religion. If there was no God most of us wouldn't feel there is one.) The Anthropic Principle is another example. So is abiogenesis, a reversal of entropy.I could go on but that is for another essay.
At any rate most people sense there is some sort of God but the people running our educational system and the media have labored long and hard to destroy the "superstition" of faith and nobody wants to seem a fool. "Smart people" embrace atheism, they believe. And so too most people can't square the problem of suffering with an all-loving God so they simply pretend God isn't there, rather than admit there may be good reasons for all of the pain of life.
At any rate the author of this piece is spot-on; all of the freedoms we have come from our acknowledgement that God exists and is the author of human freedom. The U.N. pretends God is just a concensus.
Where did it get that idea from? Well, Rousseau, of course, and it was Rousseau's philosophy that was adopted both by Karl Marx and Giovanni Gentile, father of Fascism. Mussolini was attracted to Fascism because it was socialism with a spiritual component. Mussolini rightly understood that Marxism failed to take root in the public precisely because of it's materialism, it's view that all things in life were rooted in economics. Fascism was very materialistic, but it advocated the substitution of a new,strange religion over Christianity, and that came from Rousseau, who suggested making the People's collective will into God and the state being it's unholy church. Fascism, with it's religious emphasis on the glory of the state, was just socialism with a mystical quality. The Nazis took that a step further, making the German race God. It is no coincidence the Nazis were ferociously superstitious and always looking for religious and ancient artifacts. In fact, the top brass (except maybe Hitler himself, who seemed more interested in self-worship) of the Nazis were Theosophists, members of the Thule Society. Theosoophy was created in New York City by Helena Blavatsky,a Russian mystic. She taught all religions were partly true. Theosophism is basically cafeteria religion. It's primarily pagan and pantheistic and monistic. All of the Nazi insignia - the lightning bolt SS, the swastika, came from their association with the Thule Society. THAT was the religion which leavened their socialism.
At an rate the core problem with socialism and with fascism is that they fundamentally disdain the Judeo-Christian God in favor of a man-centered system, one gleaned from Rousseau and the other late 18th century philosophes.
As was attributed to Chesterton, when you stop believing in God you will believe in anything. Naziism was proof of that. So is Marxism.
I would modify that and say when you stop believing in CHRIST and Yahweh you will believe in anything. Look at the Islamic world for proof thereof.
America was greatly blessed because our ancestors came here seeking religious freedom. They were "bible thumpers" as we would say today. Of course there has been a ruthless war on such folks, painting them as evil (look at some of the crap we've been treated to, like "The Handmaiden's tale" or whatnot.) The war has been relentless and it has gone on since the 19th century. The atheists have nearly won.
But the more success they have had the worse things have become in America and in Europe. Europe is almost dead now - being overrun by aliens who still have a sort of moral core. We were almost overrun ourselves.
We lie at a decision point; return to our beliefs or adopt the hip new swinger's Godlessness. If we choose the latter will will lose our country. But hey! We can have some fun times until then! That's what the Democrats believe and that's what so many seem to want.
That belief is trash and America will wind up in the trashbin of history.

The article agrees. It states:
Rights, it suggests, are whatever the international community agrees they are.
That’s a dangerous idea. If rights come from consensus, consensus can erase them. If governments or global committees grant rights, they can redefine or revoke them when convenient. There is no firm ground, only shifting sands.
Many Americans now prefer this softer, godless version of human dignity. They invoke justice but reject the Judge. They want rights without a Creator, happiness without truth, liberty without responsibility. But rights without God offer no security — and happiness without God dissolves into fantasy. It’s a mirage.

A Bunch of Weiners
Timothy Birdnow
They do realize there aren't actual dogs in hot dogs, don't they?
PETA to Protest at Nathan’s Hot Dog Eat Contest in Joey Chestnut’s Return
Look, if you are vegan and won't eat anything with a face (I wouldn't eat a clock -I don't have time for that - but that's about the only thing with a face I wouldn't eat) so be it. But cows are bred specifically for dairy and for meat and if the cow is butchered isn't it better that it's less desirable parts - lips, nose, butt, etc. be efficiently used? As Mimi said on The Drew Carey show to Drew's vegan girlfriend "it's not like you can put it back together...it's now a cow puzzle". And people are not going to stop eating meat. It's in our DNA - literally. Eating meat is what separated us from the primates over a million years ago. It's part of the definition of being human.
And if you won't eat meat why eat plants? Don't they have a right to live too? Where does it stop.
Cows are peaceable critters but dumb as dirt. They don't have much to live for - just stand out in the weather all day and munch on grass and get the occasional Ooumoumou from the bull. It's not exactly a full life.
So we eat them. But hot dogs are our way of using every part of them, so their deaths will not be in vain. The only meaning in their lives IS being turned into steaks and chops and other tasty morsels to feed human beings.
Now, I get being turned off on hot dog eating contests, which are gluttonous affairs and truly disgusting. But don't they have anything better to complain about? There are still cock fights and dog fights and whatnot requiring their attention. And if you are REALLY worried about cruelty you would work to stop abortions and trans surgeries on minors. But they prefer to worry about hot dogs.
Well, let me be frank; I say they are a bunch of weiners.

Philly - America's Trash Dump
Timothy Birdnow
How can anyone tell the difference? It's Philadelphia, after all. (W.C. Fields had it right.)
Union Garbage Strike In Philadelphia Leads To Vandalism, Health Concerns
When PATCO, the Professional Air Traffic Controllers union, went on strike early in the first term of Ronald Reagan he simply fired them all and hired new controllers, most from the military. He argued it was illegal to strike and this was a critical job that required people show up. Garbage,while less glamorous, is similar and if these trash guys won't do it they should be canned (pardon the pun) and replacements brought in.
Philadelphia is a sanctuary city so why don't they just recruit some of these illegal aliens to "do the work Americans just won't do"? Then if the union thugs try to beat them up they can just self-deport back to whence they came.
I imagine the Democrats would be scared spitless to pit illegals against the labor unions.

Mount Trumpmore!
Timothy Birdnow
I don't think this is a good idea. I prefer starting a new Mt. Rushmore with Reagan and Trump. Maybe Eisenhower. Oh, and while Rush Limbaugh wasn't a President maybe we can tack him up there too! Maybe Calvin Coolidge.
Mount Rushmore Could Get Trump Upgrade Under GOP Push
Maybe they should have one ear purposely deformed on the statue as a reminder to how close Trump came to being assassinated - and then didn't stop.

Mount Rushmore Could Get Trump Upgrade Under GOP Push
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has formally requested that President Donald Trump be added to Mount Rushmore, reigniting a long-discussed idea just ahead of Independence Day.
In a letter sent Thursday to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, Ogles called on the federal government to consider engraving President Trump’s likeness alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

For the Way of the Wicked Shall Perish
Timothy Birdnow
Awesome: Hakeem Jeffries Warns of "Deportation Machine on Steroids" as House Passes Trump’s "Big Beautiful Bill"
His anger at this should prove once and for all that the Democrats really do hate Middle America and were purposely trying to erase us. Nobody who cared about the People would be angry that our border will be made secure and trespassing aliens will be sent home.
This is good news for everyone except the Democrats and RINO Republicans.
In related news Joe Biden, after eating much ice cream an ttaking his aderol, managed to bemoan the fact his Presidency is melting like the morning dew:
Biden Says His Accomplishments Are "Disappearing So Rapidly" Under Trump
Given his "accomplishments" were all evil and anti-American and made this country weaker, less safe, and poorer I would say "job well done, Mr. Trump!"
We sorely needed to erase Biden.
Psalm 1:6
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Independence Day - From Green Energy Subsidies
Timothy Birdnow
Goodie gumdrops!
They killed the new tax on wind and solar projects.
This was never anything but a scheme to plunder wealth from the American middle class. IF there was a market for wind and solar they would use wind and solar voluntarilly. The fact is it's an expensive and unreliable energy source that still requires fossil-fuel generators on standby. It was purely a tool to reduce the energy usage of the First World.
I would add that this was promoted by Russia.
Energy is the measure of wealth in the modern world and the internationalists sought to reduce ours to balance us out with the developing world, so we could have relative parity and then create world government.
And this got it's big push under George W. Bush, who began promoting this, sounding almost identical to Jimmy Carter, who pushed it in the '70's as a way to stop "Global Cooling" and to make us less dependent on foreign oil. Bush used identical reasoning, only he worried about Global Warming more than cooling, but in the end it was the same arguments. He continued the policy when it became evident that America had all the oil it needed right here - it was just a matter of going and getting it. Trump is going and getting it. "Renewables" are just a toy for guilt-ridden white liberals to feel good about themselves. (Granted, there are a few people who live off-grid and use it, but they are a huge minority and they do it because it's the only way to get power out in the wilderness where they live.)
The only reason we had electric vehicles and the rest is because government funded it. Without the subsidies the companies will phase this stuff out as they are unprofitable and will remain so for the forseeable future. (I've long argued that we need a major change in how we produce power from wind and solar - the traditional methods don't work very well. We don't need bigger windmills we need some entirely new idea. I've long thought about that without much luck.)
Until there is some major scientific breakthrough that makes it possible to generate power from wind and solar cheaply and efficiently and reliably there will be no market for it. All those subsidies have done is make the connected rich at taxpayer's expense.
So today is independence day - from environmentalist price goughing on our energy systems.

Oh, You Beautiful Bill!
Timothy Birdnow
In honor of OBcubed, I give you this sad mutilation of a song by Al Jolson. I wrote it in just minutes so if it isn't any good, I say suck it up:
The Congress cheered, that what I've heard
Just turn out the lights before Jeffries says another word!
in the shadows the Democrats conspire
their anger blazes, some plan to retire
Schumer curses, Pelosi bleats
they invoke a rule from Byrd, the wearer of sheets
they'd thought they'd won some time ago
now Trump and Elon are cutting off the dough
Oh, you beautiful bill, you great big beautiful bill
you will cut our taxes and end the slide
The Dems so made, they can't abide it
Oh you beautiful bill, you great big beautiful bill!
Biden's wife said "let them eat cake" but now she's facing a political earthquake
oh, you beautiful bill! You great big beautiful bill!
Media lies while AOC fantasizes
Dreams of a leftist paradise
while crazy Carville advises
but the voters they could not entice
Squeeze the money from the voters they don't care
give it to leftists, aliens, and dudes with orange hair
while Kamala cackles and AOC does her stare
they want to be king of everything
Now they are in heaps of trouble and some may end in Sing-Sing.
Now the BBB will be fulfilled
now our leaders are working our will
beat the drum, play the fife!
we're headed now for a better life!
oh, you beautiful bill! You great big beautiful bill!

Another Judge Violates SCOTUS (and is Overturned)
Timothy Birdnow
A win at SCOTUS for the Trump Administration (and America).
Court allows Trump administration to move forward in sending group of immigrants to South Sudan
Maybe that judge Cogan guy who issued a nationwide ban on deportations recently can get into a Texas Cage match with whoever wrote the Majority opinion for the Supreme Court. He's already blown off their orders.(It'sodd; the judge who issued the injunction against pulling these men out of Djibouti and inserting them in South Sudan is also Irish - Murphy. What is it with Irish judges and illegal immigrants?)
If they are allowing this they cannot possibly allow Cogan to get away with thumbing his big Irish nose at them.
Currently these deportees are being held in Djibouti. No wisecracks please.
At any rate this article stresses the idiotic dissents from the usual suspects - Brown-Jackson, Kagan, etc. but fails to give one shred from the majority opinion. And of course it was all about how terrible it is to send illegal aliens who invaded the U.S. back to their own country. The dissent said they were being sent back to face arrest and possible torture. Well, if they face arrest and torture, are they people we really want in THIS country? Seems to me they are probably not choir boys.
It is not America's obligation to take in anyone or everyone. These people know the game and claim they seek asylum when they rarely do. This just isn't our problem; we've got to lose the hubris that says Ameria can fix everything. We can't. Right now we need to fix our own country.

It is not America's obligation to take in anyone or everyone. These people know the game and claim they seek asylum when they rarely do. This just isn't our problem; we've got to lose the hubris that says Ameria can fix everything. We can't. Right now we need to fix our own country.

Momdani Checked All the Boxes
Timothy Birdnow
Rules are SO for the Bourgeoisie!
Mamdani lied on Columbia application, claimed to be black
FTA:
In anyone else I would say it was praiseworthy that he doesn't consider himself anything but an American. Sadly he's not a man who seems much interested in BEING an American.
No,I suspect he was just pulling out all the stops to gain acceptance to an elite college (itself an unworthy goal, if you ask me - the elite colleges are the root of our problems.)
Years ago there was a big stink over a white South African immigrant to the U.S. putting down on his college application he was "African American". The school kicked him out when they realized he was a WHITE African American; can't have that!
That is the trouble with basing this on so nebulous a distinction as race; most people have an admixture of blood, and many are they who look white but have native American or Oriental (I hate the phrase "Asian" as all three major racial groups cohabit the continent of Asia) or even black. Many more blacks have Caucasian blood (like Barack Obama). Basically, at this point, there are few who cannot claim some minority blood.
That's why trying to give a leg up to "minorities" is silly; who qualifies? The confederates all accused Abraham Lincoln of having "negro" blood. There were those who accused Adolph Hitler of being part Jewish. And you know what? They might well have been. Who cares? It shouldn't be about your ancestry anyway. (Granted, it's too bad Hitler didn't embrace his potential Jewishnes - he would have been a much better person and would have wound up perhaps being a force for great good in the world rather than monster he became.)
At any rate it's not really about what some kid did in high school so much as about the rank hypocrisy of the Left and how rules only apply to others. They always exempt themselves from the rules they impose. And they do that because in their hearts they believe they are better than the rest of us.

Mamdani lied on Columbia application, claimed to be black
FTA:
But as a high school senior in 2009, Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, claimed another label when he applied to Columbia University. Asked to identify his race, he checked a box that he was "Asian” but also "Black or African American,” according to internal data derived from a hack of Columbia University that was shared with The New York Times.
Columbia, like many elite universities, used a race-conscious affirmative action admissions program at the time. Reporting that his race was Black or African American in addition to Asian could have given an advantage to Mr. Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and spent his earliest years there.
In an interview on Thursday, Mr. Mamdani, 33, said he did not consider himself either Black or African American, but rather "an American who was born in Africa.” He said his answers on the college application were an attempt to represent his complex background given the limited choices before him, not to gain an upper hand in the admissions process. (He was not accepted at Columbia.

Obama and Friends Sabotaged Trump
Timothy Birdnow
Shouldn't people go to jail for this?
New: CIA Assessment Reveals How Far Obama Administration Went to Frame Trump, Implicates Officials
Brennan, Clapper, and Comey were the unholy trinity that fomentted the "Russian collusion" lie, and did so consciously. Brennan, for instance, excluded 13 of the 17 intelligence agencies so he could avoid anyone objecting. And he hand-picked flunkies who would do his bidding. Oh, and it was Brennan who included the Steele Dossier despite serious doubts about it in the intelligence community.
In other words the Obama Administration purposely sabottaged the incoming administration. And the report concludes this was at the order of Barack Hussein Obama.
How many laws were broken? No doubt at least a dozen.

Judge Rules all Illegals Must be allowed to File for Asylum
Timothy Birdnow
Another day, another judge making his own laws and ignoring the Supreme Court ruling against sweeping nation-wide injunctions.
DC Judge Allows All Illegal Migrants to Seek Asylum, Halting Deportation
FTA:
Once again a Democrat judge is simply imposing his will on the whole country and just ignoring the SCOTUS ruling which said they can't do that.
The Obama-appointed judge used a cheat, declaring all illegal aliens as a "class" thus making it a class action suit.
These people are truly despicable.
Another day, another judge making his own laws and ignoring the Supreme Court ruling against sweeping nation-wide injunctions.
DC Judge Allows All Illegal Migrants to Seek Asylum, Halting Deportation
FTA:
The ruling by Judge Randolph Moss may crash Trump’s deportation policy because it would force officials to release migrants, or detain them at great expense while judges consider asylum pleas.
The judgment will be appealed, but it argues that the pro-asylum laws passed by Congress decades ago override Trump’s January 20 proclamation, "Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion.”
Trump’s proclamation denied migrants the right to file for amnesty except when made at official entrances to the United States. The proclamation allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies to quickly deport migrants without any need to detain them for the months or years needed to resolve an asylum plea in court.
But the judge says illegal migrants can apply for judge-approved asylum anytime and anywhere in the United States as a defense against their deportation. The policy could revive the easy-migration rules imposed by President Barack Obama’s administration that sharply reduced Americans’ wages and spiked housing costs.

Those Were the Days - for Momdani
Timothy Birdnow
I remember the show All in the Family when Archie Bunker called one of Mike's friends a communist. Mike objected:
"He's not a communist, he just lives in a commune"
Archie replied:
"A person who lives in a commune is a communist".
How can Mamdani deny the logic here?
Resurfaced video shows NYC mayoral hopeful saying he wants to replace private homes with communal living

Clique it and Trick it

This reminds me of a bit by George Carlin where he bemoans sanitizing language. "next they'll call a rape victim an 'uncooperative sperm receptical'".
ABC News Accused of Hitting 'a New Low,' Attempting to Sanitize MS-13 with a Word Change
Yes, they really did call MS13 a "clique".

Poison Pill?
Timothy Birdnow
Did the Senate purposely put a poison pill(s) in the One Big Beautiful Bill (OB cubed)? Some thinks so.
Senate SABOTAGED Trump's Bill TO KILL IT, Poison Pill May FORCE GOP To BLOCK It Over New Gaming Tax
There are a number of really bad things injected by the Senate into this. It's almost as if they want to bring it down.
(Don't be surprised; theRINO wing of the party controls the Senate and I assure you they will do what they can to stop Trump by any means necessary.)

The Heart of the Minnesota Democratic Party
Timothy Birdnow
Well, this guy pretty much is the base of the Democratic Party these days, isn't he?
Tim Walz’s Education Department Hired Convicted Sex Offender From Kenya
(No, he's not talking about Barack Obama, who has never been convicted.)
Wilson Nduri Tindi came here on a B-2 visa in 2005 and overstayed, making him an illegal alien. He was convicted of rape in 2015, yet managed to rise to the level of division director of the Minnesota Department of Education.
And this was not a date rape, but a bonafide thing. He broke into the apartment and fondled the woman, attempting to pull her pants off.
He received two years in prison but in liberal Minnesota only served 210 days.
He had been accused in 2012 of a similar crime though the victim chose not to press charges.
And yet Tampon Tim's predecessor Mark Dayton hired this guy anyway in 2018.
This is what you get when you put the Demo-left in charge; Dayton too was a member of the Democratic Farm Labor party (the name of the Democrats in Minnesota).

Judge Ignores SCOTUS, Imposes Injunction on Trump Over Haitian Refugees
Timothy Birdnow
Didn't SCOTUS just say these clowns can't do this sort of thing?
Judge Blocks DHS From Terminating Temporary Protected Status for Haitian Immigrants
The Trump Administration should simply ignore this jerk. He's overstepping his authority in a willful manner.
District Court Judge Brian M. Cogan in New York issued the nation-wide injuncttion in spite of new rules put in place by the U.S. Supreme Court banning most nationwide injunctions. He says altering the TPS dates is illegal, even though it is solely an executive order put in place by Biden in the first place.
These radical judges are simply going to ignore the SCOTUS ruling and impose these things anyway, apparently. Judge Cogan should be charged with contept of court.
The judge stated in his 23 page opinion (Why does he need 23 pages when this is cut-and-dried?):
But these are not citizens and this is not a "benefit" but rather a kindness extended by the goodness of our hearts to these people, who have no reason to expect anything more of us. Beggars can't be choosers. We've given them protections but nobody said anything about their staying here permanently. That was never part of the deal.
The article continues:
Oh boo hoo! They had no reason to expect to be able to do this; they have been living in America and knew Trump was serious about deporting aliens. Putting down roots in society is nothing but a scam for many of them. You always hear that in court with criminals "he is a member of the community with a job and a kid in school". And it's wide of the point anyway as this judge is merely trying to tug at everyone's heart strings while ignoring the Americans who have suffered under this invasion of Haitians over the years. Where is his compassion for the Americans stabbed to death bya Haitian immigrant in Fayetteville, North Carolina, for instance? Or for Aiden Clark, the 11 year old boy murdered by a haitian? Odd how he bursts with compassion for the Haitians but not their victims.
Nor does he show compasion for taxpayers who are underwriting these jobs and schools and medical care. Who is representing THEIR interests?
This suit was filed by the Service Employees International Union Local 32BJ. How do they have standing? They only have standing because this judge is a fellow traveller and they both want to screw the Trump Administration.
SCOTUS has previously ruled that Trump may indeed strip TPS status from groups and deport them. This judge does not have a leg to stand on - especially since the Court has ruled these lower courts lack the authority to impose nationwide injunctions of this nature.
Somebody really needs to put a bag full of dog poop on this guy's front porch and light it on fire. That's all he's worth.

FBI Covered for Wray over Chicoms

Docs Reveal FBI Interfered With Investigation On Chinese Meddling In 2020 To Cover For Christopher Wray
Wray completely flipped after assuming the post of Directtor of the FBI. I wonder; did they have material they were using to blackmail him? I think it entirelyp ossible. Wray went from hero to zero in record time, immediately biting the hand of his boss.

Ahearsa - Hindus Attack Christians
Timothy Birdnow
This is unusual; Hindus are generally peaceable folk.
Over 30 Christians injured in attack by Hindu nationalists wielding axes
Hindus descended on a large prayer meeting wielding axes in a shocking imitation of their Muslim neighbors.
From the Christian Post:
The local police claim the violence stemmed from a personal dispute between two brothers, one Christian and one Hindu, but the Christians involved dispute this claim. They argue:
I don't know but attacking unarmed, harmless folks engaged in prayer is not exactly good for your Karma and probably will result in your being born a dog bred for dog fighting or something.
The police version is just silly; why would so many join with this guy and use axes to attack people they didn't know over a personal dispute?
Hindus don't like Christians. They fear we are trying to impose our culture and values on them. Mother Theresa of Calcutta - who was beloved in India - faced considerable resistance early in her ministry, and only became beloved when she didn't try to preach any Christianity but simply showed God's love to the destitute and dying (her ministry was primarily to take in dying people so they could perish with some dignity rather on the streets, where their bodies were often just left to rot.)
I hate to hear this because I generally have a good amount of respect for Hindus. I am convinced they are wrong, but they can make a good case and they believe it.
Most Hindus practice ahimsa, which says one should be kind to all other living beings. I suppose these guys are practicing Ahearsa, as they believe in butchering other living beings. (A hearse is a hearse of curse of curse...)
Actually they may be followers of Shiva and less so Brahma.
At any rate it's a terrible thing. Why go after Christians when they are natural allies against the Muslims who are always attacking Indians? Foolish.

Over 30 Christians injured in attack by Hindu nationalists wielding axes
Hindus descended on a large prayer meeting wielding axes in a shocking imitation of their Muslim neighbors.
From the Christian Post:
More than 30 Christians were injured when a mob attacked a prayer gathering in India’s Odisha state, and local residents say no arrests have been made nearly two weeks after the incident.
At least 20 people suffered serious injuries and were hospitalized following the assault, which local leaders alleged was carried out by Hindu nationalist groups.
The attack took place in Kotamateru village of Malkangiri district on June 21, when around 20 farming Christian families had assembled to bless seeds before the planting season. Nearly 400 people from nearby villages stormed the area with weapons, including axes, and began what appeared to be a coordinated assault, according to the rights group Christian Solidarity International.

orchestrated the attack. Bajrang Dal district leader Sibapada Mirdha
denied any involvement but said there was growing resistance among
Hindus to what they saw as religious conversions by Christians. He
added that "sometimes there is a spontaneous reaction to this,”
according to the Telegraph.
