Truth about Eureka Springs
 

The Deception in National Public Radio.
Liberial Lies.

Dear Jacqueline,

I was also at the Eureka Springs Diversity Weekend.  I can understand your need to trust Michael Walsh to provide an accurate account of the events of the weekend.  However, I don't see how he can be unbiased when he himself is a member of www.geekfest.com, which is a message board for the homosexual community and/or homosexual activists who push the homosexual agenda.  Check out this link, which proves Mr. Walsh is a member of this community, with the name, "IndianaDunes", who has had close to 2,000 posts on the boards.

As I said, I attended the event.  I have pictures and video which proves that the Jericho Riders did not have to be, " sequestered", as the report says.  The Jericho Riders, as well as a larger number of Christians who were not Jericho Riders, were walking around the streets and in Basin Park passing out gospel tracts and having conversations with people.  Open air preaching was going on in Basin Park by the Jericho Riders and other Christians.  The police were there protecting their rights to free speech, and were walking up and telling the Diversity Weekend attendes, who were protesting the Christians, to back away from the preachers and not to cause them any trouble. 

Watch this video, beginning at 1:20 until 1:50.  You'll see and hear the policeman telling the man, "Sparky", who is a leader in the homosexual community, who is protesting the preaching, to move away from the preacher and to move out of his "comfort zone" to another area of the park and not to cause problems.

This video, beginning at 5:10-5:25, shows the fiddle player who kept walking around near the open air preacher, playing and trying to drown out his voice.

This video, beginning at 55 seconds - 1:40, shows a person attending the Diversity Weekend holding a sign near the open air preacher, protesting him.  At 4:50-5:05, it shows a man walking around and around the preacher, being silly and just blowing bubbles, trying to distract.

These pics shows the Diversity attendees who were protesting the Christians and Jericho Riders.

Burning sage and incense all around in the faces of the preachers: (even having their children doing this)

Your report stated, "Several dozen black leather clad Jericho Riders"...this is not true.  There are not that many members of the Jericho Riders in the entire United States.  Check out their membership roster at www.jerichoriders.org, under "Our Members" on the bottom left side.

You see, I am founder and leader of "Repent and Turn Ministries".  I am also a member of the "Jericho Riders".  However, I do not even have a motorcycle to "rumble into town on".  We had probably 8 or less Jericho Riders and approx. 10 Christians who came out to attend the Diversity Weekend, who were not Jericho Riders. 

Michael Walsh is one who, on the GeekFest.com message boards, has said untrue and hateful things about the Jericho Riders.  This is because the Jericho Riders, as well as any true, Bible-believing Christian, believes homosexuality to be a sin, as the Bible states that it is.  He cannot be trusted to provide you with "an accurate account of the situation", as you stated.

I would hope that you would retract your false story about the Jericho Riders, after receiving proof that your source told lies and was not trustworthy.  I plan to write to NPR as well to give them this information. 

Sincerely,
