Spain Becomes First European Country to Introduce Paid Menstrual Leave | Great!

💭 ስፔን ሴቶ ዜጎቿ የሚከፈልበት የወር አበባ ፈቃድን ያገኙ ዘንድ በሕግ ያጸደቀች የመጀመሪያዋ የአውሮፓ ሀገር ሆነች

ይህ በእውነት በጣም ጥሩ ነገር ነው። በመላው ዓለም በሥራ ላይ መዋል ያለበት ሕግ ነው። እስካሁንም አልመተግበሩ የሚያስገርም ነው። ከእርግዝና እስከ ወር አበባ የሴቶች ሸክማቸው በጣም ብዙ ነው፤ ይሳዝኑኛል።

በተረፈ፤ “የወር አበባ” የሚለውን ቃል እንዲህ በጣም ቆንጆ በሆነ መልክ የሚጠቀም የዓለማችን ብቸኛ ቋንቋ ኢትዮጵያኛችን ነው። የብዙ ሃገራት ዜጎችን በተለይ ለሴቶች ስለዚህ ቃል ስነግራቸው በመገረምና ደስ በመሰኘት ነው ምላሹን የሚሰጡት። በእነዚህ ሁለት ቃላት የእኅቶቻችንን ወርሃዊ ሥነ ሥርዓት የሰየሙት አባቶች ወይንም እናቶች ፥ “ወታደሮቻችንን በሳንጃ፣ ሴቶቻቸው ግን በወንድ ነው የተደፈሩት!” እያለ ከሚሳለቀው ከዚህ የኢትዮጵያ ማሕፀን ካልወደችው መጤ አውሬ የሰማይና መሬት ያህል ልዩነት እንዳላቸው ይጠቁመናል። የቀደሙት አባቶችና እናቶች እጅግ በጣም የተሻሉ ናቸውና፤ ምስጋና ይገባቸዋል።

💭 A vote on the new law, which introduces up to five days of menstrual leave for women who have incapacitating periods, passed through the Spanish parliament earlier today.

According to the Spanish Gynaecological and Obstetric Society, a third of women experience dysmenorrhea or painful menstruation. Accompanying measures include the free provision of free sanitary products in schools, prisons and women’s centres to tackle “period poverty”.

The law gives workers the right to a three-day “menstrual” leave of absence, which can be extended it to five days. The leave will also require a doctor’s note.

💭 Spain now joins a short list of countries that offer sick leave, some paid, during menstrual cycles. Here’s a look at other laws around the world.

THE VIEW FROM ZAMBIA

Zambian women are entitled to one day off per month to deal with the side effects of their menstrual cycles. The day, colloquially referred to as “Mother’s Day,” can be taken by all women regardless of their marital status or if they have children.

THE VIEW FROM CHINA

Four Chinese provinces offer paid menstrual leave to working women. Shanxi, Ningxia, Hubei, and Anhui provinces all provide some form of leave. In Ningxia, a 2016 law offered two days per month of period leave, and employers are required to provide it or face penalties.

In Anhui, up to two days are available with a doctor’s note.

THE VIEW FROM SOUTH KOREA

One day of menstrual leave is available to South Korean women, but some women don’t know it is available, and many avoid using their entitlement at all for fear of a backlash in male-dominated workspaces.

Speaking to The Korea Times, 28-year-old Yoon Jin Sung described feeling guilty if she used her time off because her colleagues would need to take over her work. She thinks better public awareness about period pain is needed for women to feel like they can take the day off. “It’s not a privilege at all,” she said. “We need an environment where we can use the leave when we need to.”

I Live in Sodom and You Live in Gomorrah Because America Is Dead

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” [Hosea 4:6]

The United States Supreme Court as well as the international bankers (e.g. Goldman Sachs, Bank of America), are the personification of the evil the Bible speaks about in Sodom and Gomorrah, and these servants of Satan have hijacked our Republic. 

Our Republic is ruled by men and women who serve the ideals and values of Satan. They will surely be destroyed by God’s judgment. In the interim, are you going to continue to let them take you with them?

America Is Plunging Into the Depths of Hell on Earth

The signs are everywhere, the global elite are preparing to initiate a series of false flag attacks, impose martial law under Jade Helm, collapse the economy, commence WW III and force Americans to become totally subservient and dependent upon the government, a government controlled by the will of Satan.

The Ten Commandments Are the Foundation of Our Legal Code

Many of us lament the fact that the Constitution is no longer revered and honored by our governmental leaders. They raise their right hands, pledge a solemn oath (“…So help me God.) to defend the Constitution and then subsequently spend their elected term dismantling the Constitution that they pledged to protect and defend from enemies both foreign and domestic. Why?

Every first year law student is taught that the Ten Commandments are the foundation for our legal system in America. It is not a coincidence that our Congress and our Supreme Court commence each session with a prayer, albeit the prayers offered today are perfunctory only.

The Gay Marriage Ruling

Isn’t it ironic that the Supreme Court says a prayer to the almighty God and the proceeds to play the role of activist in the name of Satan? For the record, I will state that I do not care what sexual perversion people commit with other consenting adults behind closed doors. I leave the judgment to God as I have enough to answer for in my own life. However, when our Supreme Court plays the role of “community activist”, oversteps its bounds and unconstitutionally rules that “gay marriage” is now forcibly legal in all 50 states, I have an issue with my Supreme Court.

Marriage is a power reserved for the states and in no way should the federal government have any jurisdiction, whatsoever! I never thought I would see the day when the Supreme Court would degenerate to low level of President Obama’s community activism, Acorn style. But that day has arrived.

Gay Marriage and the Bible

In the interest of brevity, I will only provide a few references to God’s view of homosexuality from what the Bible says on the subject.

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” Leviticus 18:22

“There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a Sodomite of the sons of Israel.” Deuteronomy 23:17

“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.” Romans 1:26-27

Bing a homosexual does not preclude one from being a Christian. It should not preclude one from holding a job, owning a house and even voting. However, let’s not pretend that the behavior is pleasing to God anymore than idolatry, fornication and thievery. Further, this country is, or more accurately, was founded on Christian principles. Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling serves to undermine our collective Christian heritage and the very tenets of our national traditions in the same vein as the legalization of abortion in which the dark forces of this nation have murdered over 60 million babies. And please spare me the it a woman’s choice nonsensical argument. A fetus is not part of a woman’s body, it is a separate and living human being. Please allow me to speak to the globalists in their own Agenda 21 language in which they have elevated all forms of life to a position of equality with humans in violation of the Bible. Attention globalists, we have the distinction of being the only species on the planet that murders it young in the womb.We are the only mammal that now practices homosexuality in the spirit of the “natural order” of things. stick that in your Agenda 21 cap.

Where we were once blessed by God, we are now we are seeing proof that we are presently cursed by our God. Maybe this is why I cannot find America in the Book of Revelations in the final days.

The Dissenting Supreme Court Justice Opinions

Justice Roberts’s dissenting argument centered around the need to preserve states’ rights over what he viewed as following the turn of public opinion. Roberts stated that by ruling in favor of gay marriage, “Five lawyers have closed the debate and enacted their own vision of marriage as a matter of constitutional law.”

Justice Scalia wrote that while he has no personal opinions on whether the law should allow same-sex marriage, he feels very strongly that it is not the place of the Supreme Court to decide. As he wrote “But the Court ends this debate, in an opinion lacking even a thin veneer of law.” Scalia also stated he wanted to write a separate dissent “to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy.”

Justice Thomas scathingly criticized the majority opinion as “at odds not only with the Constitution, but with the principles upon which our nation were built.” Thomas also stated that Justice Kennedy and the Court’s liberal wing are invoking a definition of “liberty” that the Constitution’s framers “would not have recognized, to the detriment of the liberty they sought to protect.” Thomas also stated that this ruling represented a perversion of the Constitution and its traditions.

The Real Reason Why the Constitution Must Be Destroyed

In short, the Constitution must be destroyed because it, in part, represents the values of Jesus Christ. The Satanists are roaming the halls of Congress and through the oval office and are actively and consciously dismantling the Christian religion in the United States.

We have a Muslim occupying the White House. His occupation forces, the DHS, have declared that Christians who believe the Bible is the final word of God, are domestic terrorists as per the MIAC Report. Prayer is banned in our schools. Yet, lifestyle perversions which are offensive in the sight of God, are honored and given special status in our new laws. We live in a world which has been turned upside down.

What would make you turn your back on your children and abandon them and let them suffer the consequences of their bad decision making? Most of you cannot even imagine doing such a thing. Yet, our God is preparing to judge this nation in a way that we have never seen. How displeasing must our actions be in the eyes of God that he is about to visit the same fate of Sodom and Gomorrah upon the people of the United States?

History Is the Great Teacher

In Genesis 19, the Bible speaks to God’s judgment of the unholy, the perverts and the evil. 

I believe that history is a great teacher and we can all benefit greatly from learning the lessons of history and the Bible is the greatest History book ever written.

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah has special relevance to the time and place that we live in today. The bankers, which have hijacked our government through legalized bribery (i.e. the PACs), consists of people from such organizations as Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo Wachovia and HSBC banks. Goldman Sachs have collectively been convicted for things like child trafficking, running drugs, laundering drug money, stealing investors money, have foreknowledge and moving money as proof of foreknowledge to events like 9/11, the housing bubble, the Gulf Oil Explosion, etc. Nobody ever goes to jail, they just pay a small fine, as part of the cost of doing business, and they continue spreading their poison among humanity.

The aforementioned organizations are run by individuals who are pure evil. They use graft, corruption and murder to obtain their goals. They answer to no authority and their values represent the worst of what the Bible refers to as Satanic.

If Jesus were to walk the sidewalks of Wall Street, he would chase these Satanic money changers from their money temples as he did over 2,000 years ago.

I Live in Sodom and You Live in Gomorrah

Abraham asked if the Lord would spare the two decadent cities if fifty righteous people lived there. The Lord said yes. Boldly, Abraham kept bargaining down, until God agreed not to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if even ten righteous people lived there. Then the Lord departed. Unable to find even 10 righteous men, the Lord subsequently rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah, destroying the buildings, the people, and all the vegetation in the plain. This is our future if we do not repent and rediscover our true Christian heritage. The wages of sin are death and destruction. Apparently, we have learned very little from the lessons of history.

If the Lord were to visit Washington DC, he would find that there were not 50 righteous men, there were not 40 righteous men, not 30, not 20, not even 10 righteous men and just like Sodom and Gomorrah, we will surely be destroyed. Our government is the source of nearly every war on this planet which kills and maims untold numbers of innocent people including the very old and the very young. Our government is controlled by the minions of the NWO, many of which are empowered to serve Lucifer. Our government and our military no longer serve the people of this country. Prior to the 2008 first round of bailouts, former Goldman Sachs executive and the Secretary of the Treasury stated that if we did not bail out Wall Street, we would see tanks and troops in our streets in one of the most treasonous statements ever uttered by a government official. And before the Libyan invasion, the Congress was told that our military was now under the control of NATO and the UN and that they had no say in whether we go to war, or not. Our country and government have been totally hijacked and it is not just the bankster thugs who have stolen our most precious resources. The minions of the NWO are controlled by Satan. This is not hyperbole, please consider the following quote from an United Nations official:

“No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation.” David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations

Obama is also cut from the same Satanic cloth as are most of our leaders. Obama may be more subtle than Spangler but the final goal for the President is one in the same.

This is who and what we serve in government. Our entire society has been “paganized.” Your children have been taught to worship the earth in the pagan religion known as GAIA and bow before the Agenda 21 alter of sustainability. The entire ecology and climate change cult is controlled by Luciferians such as Spangler.

“My people change because of a lack of knowledge.”

God Is Merciful

I know that some of you are protesting my proclamation that most of America is decidedly sinful and as a result, are very decadent. Some of you are screaming profanities at the computer screen as you read these words and as you proclaim that you are not evil like the banker controlled politicians in government. Yes you are, or you would never tolerate leaders who have done things like murder over a million Iraqi’s who did nothing to us as America continues to add to our list of transgressions.

The evil people who have hijacked our government are the shining reflection of what we all represent in our lives. They are us and we are them. If we were truly righteous, we would never have permitted the people into office that we have, and, yet, we have allowed them to stay there. We serve evil whether we realize it or not!

What most do not comprehend is that if, we the people, were to change we would see a corresponding change in our leaders. This is not a magic prescription, it is the way the universe works. There are physical laws and there are spiritual laws and just because the many may have not been taught the spiritual laws, it does not mean that they do not exist. The spiritual can supplement the physical. The physical can never supplement the spiritual. My son once asked me how he could avoid doing the evil things that he sees from some of our leaders. I told him to read the Bible and that will lead him to ask the right questions. I planted a seed which I hope will bear fruit in my son. Perhaps these words will plant a seed in America which will spread like virus among the people. Many in the Patriot movement claim they want to reclaim their freedom. Yet, they will not honor the source of all free will? That makes no sense.

When one looks at the true nature of their soul, serving the evil that runs this country makes no sense. It may someday cost me my life, but I will never serve evil again, I just pray that God gives me the strength to live up to the courage of my convictions when my “Mark of the Beast” moment of decision comes.

Conclusion

Somebody once asked me how would I know when the NWO crowd was going to make its move and push for a complete tyrannical takeover of the planet. I told them that when they begin to persecute Christians, we know the takeover is on the horizon. Why Christians, they asked? Because our beliefs are antithetical to the doctrine of the bankers running the government. That day is finally upon us as DHS has unmistakably declared war against Christians. No, you will not hear this in your churches today because there is a strong likelihood that your clergy are card carrying members of the Clergy Response Team who are pledged to make their flock fall into line in which they do not preach the word of God, but rather preach the word of government through a false interpretation of Romans 13. And who is government? Reread the preceding paragraphs and you will see that ultimately, many, if not most, of our clergy are now preaching the word of Satan.

Make no mistake about it, the FEMA Camps were not built for the coming hordes of illegal aliens that FEMA claims they were built for. They were built for veterans, constitutionalists, Libertarians, but most of all, they were built for the Christians.

At the end of the day, all we can control is our commitment to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, I live in Sodom, while you live in Gomorrah because America is dead!

SCOTUS Declares Itself God, Redefines Marriage and Rights

My note: Today is Saturday, 27^th June 2015. After yesterday’s Day of rage and terror we learn that there are three groups that have currently hijacked all of humanity: White Racists, Muslim and Liberal (Gay) Extremists (Racism, Islam, Sodomism) That those terror acts occurred on the very same day globally is not by accident. Red terror in Tunisia, Kuwait, Syria, Iraq, Somalia (more people murdered there, but no media attention) and France – White terror at Charleston, in Washington DC, at the Supreme Court, in the White House. They all are from the same demonic spirit, have many things in common, do evil deeds, they hate and murder. Evil deeds made pretentiously in the name of God, hence a death committed in hatred, bears the mark of the beast. Truth is knowing that to respect God is to respect and care for all forms of life on this planet. This is the power entrusted by God to the humans, but these entities create their own laws to satisfy their animalistic lusts and needs, they speak as if they were God, go against God when they give indulgences for sin. Isn’t this the worst of all blasphemies?

[Daniel 7:25]

“He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to? change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time”

The day after declaring Obamacare magically rewritten and that the lawsuits against discrimination in housing require no proof of actual discrimination, the Supreme Court found a unicorn in the 14th Amendment.

By a vote of 5-4, the Supreme Court ruled that the right to privacy under that aforementioned 14th Amendment (adopted in 1868, when every state in America criminalized sodomy) requires that every state in America grant marriage licenses to men who want to marry men and women who want to marry women, and that every state recognize such licenses from every other state.

By this point, nobody should be surprised that the Supreme Court sees new rights in its Cheerios. As our Supreme Rulers, the Supreme Court can declare what they want to declare, since rule of law died long ago at the hands of leftist deconstruction of language. But this decision is particularly galling to those who believe words have meaning and that government is not God. The Court rejects both of those claims. Words have no meaning; they are merely tools to be used in implementation of the utopian agenda of the far-left. Government is God, a dignity-conferring institution capable of making moral that which religion teaches is sinful, logic teaches is worthless, and societal experience teaches is societally counterproductive.

Naturally, Justice Anthony Kennedy, who has made it his lifelong work to read same-sex rights into the Constitution (this, after all is the man who once wrote, based wholly on the authority of the voices in his head, that the Constitution mandates “respect” for sodomy), delivered the majority opinion.

Kennedy opens by essentially paraphrasing himself in the pro-abortion case Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1989), in which he established one of his many preferred fantasy rights: “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.” This time, he simply says that people have a right to “within a lawful realm, define and express their identity.” Of course, the Court defines that “lawful realm” at its whim; otherwise Charles Manson would simply have been expressing his Constitutional rights. Same-sex marriage falls within that lawful realm, says Kennedy, although he fails to explain how the state not granting people a piece of paper equates to preventing them from expressing their identity. Presumably the states will now be required to give Rachel Dolezal a race-change certificate.

Kennedy then launches into a history of marriage:

From their beginning to their most recent page, the annals of human history reveal the transcendent importance of marriage. The lifelong union of a man and a woman always has promised nobility and dignity to all persons, without regard to their station in life. Marriage is sacred to those who live by their religions and offers unique fulfillment to those who find meaning in the secular realm. Its dynamic allows two people to find a life that could not be found alone, for a marriage becomes greater than just the two persons. Rising from the most basic human needs, marriage is essential to our most profound hopes and aspirations.

Kennedy quotes everyone from Confucius to Cicero on the importance of marriage. Then, begrudgingly, he admits, “It is fair and necessary to say these references were based on the understanding that marriage is a union between two persons of the opposite sex.” He adds, patronizingly, that the view that such a definition is the only definition “has been held – and continues to be held – in good faith by reasonable and sincere people here and throughout the world.”

But those people are wrong, because Justice Kennedy says so. Justice Kennedy and his brethren know that the importance of marriage rests on fundamentally redefining it, just as Barack Obama knows that the importance of America rests on fundamentally changing it. Marriage’s foundational nature is so important that it must be redefined into meaninglessness:

The petitioners acknowledge this history but contend that these cases cannot end there. Were their intent to demean the revered idea and reality of marriage, the petitioners’ claims would be of a different order. But that is neither their purpose nor their submission. To the contrary, it is the enduring importance of marriage that underlies the petitioners’ contentions. This, they say, is their whole point. Far from seeking to devalue marriage, the petitioners seek it for themselves because of their respect—and need—for its privileges and responsibilities. And their immutable nature dictates that same-sex marriage is their only real path to this profound commitment.

In other words, Kennedy and the Court now contend that the intent of those who want to change marriage is a defining feature here, and that since people are born gay, this is their only path to happiness. Presumably, if the intent of a polyandrous group were to extend dignity to themselves, that too would be acceptable, given that polyandry is widely practiced throughout humanity and in the animal kingdom as well. It is worth noting here that Kennedy’s contention that sexual orientation is “immutable nature” now places sexual orientation on the same level as race for purposes of law. We will return to this point shortly.

For thousands of years, everybody got it wrong. For hundreds of years, every American state got it wrong. Today, the vast majority of the planet’s population gets it wrong, and so do hundreds of millions of Americans.

In the idolatry of the left, we do not have the freedom to govern ourselves, nor even to rely the old God for our values and truths. Our betters will lead us. And they will grant any right they see fit, and reject any liberty they see fit, and redefine any term they see fit. Democracy in America did not die with jackboots; it died with the boredom and stupidity of an American people complicit in its demise, celebrating the circuses and the games provided by its new rulers, fat and happy in their submission. Let the parades be held; let the call go forth. By the power vested in them by, well, them, the Supreme Court and the left declare Americans husbands and husbands, wives and wives — and all of them slaves.
