Mark Houck, A well-known pro-life author, counselor, and father of seven is the latest victim of the Orwellianly mis-named “Department of Justice.” An FBI SWAT team of 25 to 30 agents arriving in 15 vehicles swarmed his property at 7:05 a.m. last Friday morning. They surrounded his house, and agents aimed weapons at the house from firing positions. Then they “started pounding on the door and yelling for us to open it.”
Before opening the door Houck tried to calm them, saying, “‘Please, I’m going to open the door, but, please, my children are in the home. I have seven babies in the house.’ But they just kept pounding and screaming,” said Ryan-Marie Houck, Mark’s wife.
When he opened the door, “they had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me, and throughout the house.” When they came in, they ordered the kids to stay upstairs. “Our staircase is open, so [the kids] were all at the top of the stairs which faces the front door, and I was on the stairs as well, coming down.”
“The kids were all screaming. It was all very scary and traumatic.”
After asking them why they were at the house, the agents said they were there to arrest Mark. When Ryan-Marie asked for their warrant, “they said that they were going to take him whether they had a warrant or not.”
Mark Houck is the founder and president of “The King’s Men,” which promotes healing for victims of pornography addiction and promotes Christian virtues among men in the United States and Europe. He also drives two hours south to Philadelphia every Wednesday to sidewalk counsel for six to eight hours at two different abortion centers.
The warrant charged Mark with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, due to a claimed “attack on a patient escort.” The charge comes from an incident that had already been thrown out of the District Court in Philadelphia but was somehow picked up by Merrick Garland’s “Department of Justice.”
On several occasions when Mark went to sidewalk counsel last year, he took his eldest son, who was 12 at the time. For several weeks, a pro-abortion activist would speak to Mark’s son, saying “crude … inappropriate and disgusting things,” such as “you’re dad’s a fag,” and other statements that were too vulgar for her Ryan-Marie to repeat.
Houck repeatedly warn the pro-abortion thug that he did not have permission to speak to his minor son, and please desist from speaking to him. But not only did the pro-abortion thug keep up the verbal abuse, he also invaded the son’s personal space. At this point, “Mark shoved him away from his child, and the guy fell back.”
The pro-abortion thug had no injuries, but nevertheless sued Houck in state court in Philadelphia. Although the state-court case was thrown out a few months ago, the Biden “Justice Department,” as noted above, decided to prosecute Houck under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, even though there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Houck blocked, or was trying to block, entrance to the clinic, or that the pro-abortion thug was, at the time of the incident, escorting someone into the clinic.
Since the illegitimate “Biden Administration” came to power in January 2021, the shadowy Marxist cabal (which is using the senile Biden as a sock puppet) have used the FBI in dozens of heavily-armed SWAT team-style raids (whether the FBI deems them actual “Special Weapons And Tactics” teams is irrelevant) against former President Trump, and Trump’s advisors, lawyers, and prominent supporters.
Now, apparently, the regime is going after everyone who opposes what is widely recognized as the highest and most solemn sacrament of the satanic religion of the Biden cabal: the murder of the unborn.
In March, the FBI rounded up 10 pro-life activists, including Joan Andrews Bell, with SWAT teams, to intimidate and humiliate through the use of brutality and excessive force. A surfaced video of one of these raids shows armed agents holding pro-lifers at gunpoint and ordering them to put their hands up, drop to their knees and scoot backward out their front door in the middle of the night. The pro-lifers are respectful and compliant throughout.
On August 8, the FBI raided the home of by far the most pro-life president in American history, Donald Trump, an unprecedented move destroying every precedent and tradition of American political history that law enforcement should not be weaponized for partisan political purposes. The raid was premised on an arcane dispute between Trump and the director of the national archives, but the real purpose was to recover documents Trump had declassified on his last day in office that comprised additional evidence of FBI and DOJ culpability in the illegal and outrageous surveillance of candidate, president-elect, and President Trump.
On September 1st, in front of blood-red Independence Hall in Philadelphia, and flanked by marines in a propaganda display redolent of Leni Riefenstahl, Joe Biden declared that anyone who supported the last president was a domestic terrorist and would be treated as such. The cabal meant every word of that, and they are currently making good on their threats.
What is happening in America today is an ever closer echo and parallel to Germany of the 1930s. The shadowy Marxist cabal running the “Biden Administration” is every bit as committed to the cancelling and destruction of pro-life American Christians as Hitler was to the destruction of the Jews.
“Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another, do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart.” Zech. 7:9-10
