Talk
Selections offered by Dr. Brian Clowes
“The
International Abortion Situation”
[PowerPoint, 60 minutes]. This talk addresses the root of the
problem, the racism of abortion, and, for each of the six population
continents, statistics on total fertility rates (TFRs), the status
of abortion laws, and the future of world power (Europe, Africa
and the USA).
“Assisted
Reproduction” [PowerPoint,
40 minutes]. An overview of the science morality of assisted reproductive
technologies, including in-vitro fertilization (IVF),
selective reduction, prenatal diagnoses, eugenics, use of ARTs
in population control, transhumanism and transgenics, and morally
acceptable ARTs.
“The
Ineffectiveness of Condoms” [PowerPoint,
20 minutes]. The danger of relying on condoms; their ineffectiveness,
and how they have contributed to the spread of AIDS worldwide.
“The
Family Under Siege”
[PowerPoint, 60 minutes]. How secular Humanism and Marxism attack
the family; pregnancy as a disease; how Satan attacks love and
the family; eugenics; how the anti-life mentality breaks the links
between members of the family; diluting the meaning of “family;”
the impacts of day care; and total fertility rates.
“The
Demographic Impacts of Abortion” [PowerPoint,
60 minutes]. How abortion makes a nation old; the comparative
costs of war and abortion; how abortion wounds the Church; abortion,
demographics and the “priest shortage;” how the pro-abortion
churches are killing themselves; and the death of a continent
(Europe).
“Abortion
Statistics”
[PowerPoint, 30 minutes]. A detailed look at abortion statistics
and how revealing they are; the “hard cases;” disproportionate
number of abortions done on minority women; abortion as a sacrament;
and the abortion-contraception connection.
“The
Population Control Agenda”
[PowerPoint, 60 minutes]. The grand strategy and Marxist roots
of the population control movement; attacks on the Church and
on the family; National Security Study Memorandum 200
["The Kissinger Report"]; the essential role of abortion
in population control; tactics of the population controllers;
the role of coercion in population control; and the inherent racism
of population control.
“How
Dissenters Plan to Remake the Catholic Church in Their Own Image”
[PowerPoint, 60 minutes].
The definitions of “heresy,” “apostasy”
and “schism;” how dissenters attack the first Mark
of the Church (oneness) through constitutions and restructuring;
how dissenters attack the second Mark of the Church (holiness)
through redefining sin, distorting history and implementing “New
Age” practices; how dissenters attack the third Mark of
the Church (universality) through redefining and restructuring
the Mass, the elimination of Confession, the corruption of Holy
Orders and lying about statistics; mathematical and statistical
proof that liberalism causes the "priest shortage;"
how dissenters attack the fourth Mark of the Church (apostolic
nature) through Call to Action-style “dialogue” and
small faith communities (SFCs); the many reasons for hope; tactics
of the dissenters and how to defeat them; and how to get rid of
the dissenters in your parish and diocese with the POPE (Pray,
Organize, Plan and Expose).
