This is beyond words. The eclipse of reason, sanity and decency. A producer by the name of Molotov (can’t make this stuff up) has made a film about a Black terrorist group, called Zulu 9, that goes after abortionists for 40 years of Black genocide. The movie is called, The Gates of Hell. See the trailers, and then the commentary below them.
Once again, Black Americans are portrayed as gangster thugs whose depth is solely a function of how large an ammo clip their automatic weapons possess. Blacks are consistently portrayed as hopelessly prone to violence as the only solution to what ails them.
This movie is vile and disgusting. Dr. Alveda King and the national team of Black pro-life activists follow in her uncle’s footsteps of non-violent resistance and education. This movie will set their work back by at least a decade. It is a vigilante apologia, and I genuinely fear that it will whip up young black men and lead some to violence.
Perhaps there are pro-lifers who see this differently than I do, but this movie will be the new face of the pro-life movement on CNN, MSNBC, and every other liberal news outlet.
Perhaps I am wrong, but the string of state-level defundings of Planned Parenthood will come to a crashing halt if real violence can be attached to this film.
Perhaps I am wrong in fearing that this will turn the tide of public opinion against us.
Perhaps I am wrong in all of the above, but I don’t think so.
I don’t want to see another George Tiller gunned down. I want to see them worn down, to the point where they quit.
I don’t want to see any more violence injected into the lives of young Black men, than has already been the tragic reality for decades.
I don’t want people seeing this film, or reports about it, and thinking that this is the face of the pro-life movement.
I especially don’t want this movie to cause white pro-lifers to distance themselves from our African-American brothers and sisters in the movement at just the moment when Maafa 21 has begun to resonate and the message of Black Genocide is finally getting a fair hearing by whites.
Most of all, I don’t want this film to ever see the light of day. It’s very premise is antithetical to the pro-life movement.
Molotov will be casting about for endorsements of his suggestive little terrorist cocktail. I’ve seen enough in these trailers to give it two thumbs down. This is one baby that needs to be strangled in its bassinet. If pro-lifers were wise, they would start the denunciations now.
You cannot break the law and kill an abortionist cause he ain’t worth life in prison…….and that is my true feeling. Tiller was pathetic and I am sorry to say it. I had to sign out of a New York Hospital cause of pressure to abort in their search and destroy mission and it was a black woman who said, “Don’t let them tell you that!!!” They overdosed me on insulin and then put on an abortion nag the likes of which I hope nobody goes through. It still bothers me to this day. When they called me a year later about a bill…I said, “I do not owe you a damn thing for what you put me through….” never heard from them again!!! I went to a Catholic Hospital called St. Micheals and what I saw there was amazing. The day one baby was adopted, the RN who had been caring for this one boy could not be at work that day. Iused to watch her take care of him until his adopted parents took him. I saw an addict and HIV positive mothers giving life to their babies. I saw my own little one get better and better the minute I got him home…..and they let me take him home at 4lbs 12oz cause I was a nursing MOM. He is a wonderful young man today. Really.. So is my wonderful daughter whom I am very proud of. I mean all of the above, and really all a pregnant woman needs is a ,”you can have this baby…” from even a stranger and a bit of care and consideration and all will be well. One intern (they had a few trying to persuade me in the bad direction) asked me about how I planned (there they go with the planning…..) to care for my child if he had disabilities…I asked her, “If you are in an accident tomorrow and are injured, should we shoot you?” She looked off and said, “That is a good question.” Well my anwer was NO, we need to let live!!!! It is as simple as that. I just went along with what God gave. Thanks for this space to write this. Have to get coffee and a cig!!!!
Caroline, what a wonderful testimony to life. I am so happy you listened to that woman and had the courage to walk out and have your baby.
It i s so true when you say “from even a stranger and a bit of care and consideration and all will be well”. I work with post abortive couples who aborted because of that pressure from an adverse diagnosis…I wish they all had had a woman like that there that they would have listened to.
There is a wonderful site now where parents are helping other parents who have gotten adverse diagnosis, it is http://benotafraid.net/ I am sure they would love to hear from you.
God bless you and your children and thank you for sharing with us!
So the first question is – Who is behind this film?
The next question is – What is their real motive?
I have often suggested that when the Left has to decide between the radical feminists (pro-abortionists and homosexuals) and the African-American community, something strange was going to happen. The Left has kept the African American community tied to them since they re-wrote the history of civil rights movement. Just as there is a real disconnect among Jewish voters who support the Left and their allowing the Left to support radical Islam, so we see the disconnect among the leadership in the African -American Community and their support for politicians who funnel money and power to organizations like Planned Parenthood that are destroying the next generation of Black children.
But it is the antithesis of the pro-life message to ever under any circumstances support violence. We are called to embrace life and to foster repentance and reconciliation. How many souls must be lost? I think of Bernard Nathanson, Carol Everett, Beverly McMillan and so many others who came out of the darkness to the light of the Gospel message of life. Are we not suppose to call everyone to repent and change their ways?
This movie sounds very evil and it would seem that the timing is very suspicious. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I disagree. First off, how do you measure how much an event set backs a movement? You said this movie will set back the movement ten years. Why not 5 or 15 or 1? I doubt it will have much effect at all. The majority of Americans will never see this film, it’s not “Avatar 2, nor is it Uncle Tom’s Cabin. I’d be shocked if it makes it way to Netflix. It will certainly never air on cable..
If a fiction movie causes White Pro-lifers to distances themselves from African-American PLers then they were racists that probably didn’t care about little Black babies in the first place.
One thing both sides are guilty of is melodrama and the sky is crashing reports. Normally the Pro-Abortion side follows their prophecies of doom with a request for funds. It wasn’t long ago that George Tiller met his maker and PL pundits shrieked that the movement was going to be set back. I think it was a decade.
What sets back and moves forward this movement is laws and technology. Technology allows us to see into the womb and save premature babies at younger age. When the GOP is in control of a legislative, we tend to make ground.
PP defrauding the govt,, protecting statutory rapists, Gosnell’s House of Horrors, etc. are blips against the Pro-Abortion side, but don’t cause a noticeable swing to more supporters of life. Just as some B-movie, if that, is going to cause a swing the other way. All these events do are confirm from the other side what they already believed.
Starting the denunciations now will only bring more publicity to the movie than it would otherwise get. Imagine if the PC side had ignored the Tim Tebow Super Bowl. It would have been broadcast and disappeared in a deluge of beer and chips commercials. Instead it was a national story. Certainly not worthy of concern by the pro-abort side considering it was later perceived to be more violent toward woman than Pro-life.
Seems that there may be a lot more going on here and so I am posting a link to Jill Stanek’s blog: http://www.jillstanek.com/2011/06/more-on-movie-gates-of-hell-when-black-extremists-learn-planned-parenthoods-secret-agenda-to-exterminate-their-race/
Like i said, i do not like the stereotypes. The trailers play into the pro-life violence canard.
Perhaps there is a twist?
Need do find out more information….Again ….thanks for posting…
Marshal,
How many years have you been involved in the pro-life movement, and at what level?
“So the idea of non-violent resistance, the philosophy of non-violent resistance, is the philosophy which says that the means must be as pure as the end, that in the long run of history, immoral destructive means cannot bring about moral and constructive ends.” — (Martin Luther King Jr.) [1]

They just don’t get it…Those who embrace the morays of the Culture of Death haven’t quite understood that the violence of abortion in the world is, in the words of Blessed Mother Teresa, the greatest destoyer of peace on the planet. To embrace a Culture of Life means to be firmly convinced of the inate dignity of EVERY human life created in His image, even abortionists.
The gate is meant to be narrow…
Oh it won’t turn out to be a good production, just some kind of cheap brain washing propaganda a là Goebbels so it will be soon forgotten and discarded in the rubbish bin, like any freak ideas of the radical leftists.
Have you seen the film, sir? I wasn’t aware that it had been released.
I think you are all missing the point of the movie. Margaret Sanger and her ilk purposefully set out to iradicate the black community, thus the black family. This is a ficticious response to a problem that, to date, sees no rise to a defender of the black community. Some realize the gravity of the situation, thus this hypothetical movie. I, for one, will pay to see it. And, no, I will not walk away saying “Yep! I knew it! All black men are thugs!”. If I have that mindset then I will have clearly missed the point of the movie.
Gerard I’m curious… have you even seen the movie? If not than it is clear you are making allot of assumptions and conclusions upon something you no little to nothing about. If your knowledge of this movie is as well versed as your understanding of firearms I think you’re opinions and conclusions are completely devoid of merit and amount to little more than hyperbole.
What I gather from your statements is that you fear someone will take partial information from the movie then construct uninformed opinions and conclusions that lack balanced understanding and then act upon them. But isn’t that exactly what you have done in this article?
For the record what you refer to as a “clip” does not exist for firearms the proper name is magazine.
Magnuson,
I’m quite familiar with firearms, and use the colloquial for a general readership. Have you seen the trailers, sir? Have you read about the murder of abortionists by those claiming to be pro-life? Have you followed the narrative of the leftist media in light of these murders? Are you one of the leaders in the pro-life movement who has had to denounce these murders every time they happen to keep from being tarred by the same brush?
Troy Newman and Jill Stanek have asked me to hold my fire, and so I shall for now, deferring to their personal relationships with Molotov.
it’s either ‘pro-life’ or pro-death’ when it comes to abortion….
there really is no in between is there –
I choose pro-life and look forward to viewing this movie
when it is released.
I wasn’t aware that it had been released but assume you have
already viewed the entire move based upon your review.
is that correct?
So, to be clear, what we’re discussing on this thread is the Trailer, not the film itself, correct? No one involved in this conversation has seen the film, so to jump to conclusions about the content of it is specious and illogical.
I think we should be honest and accurate about what the topic at-hand actually is, instead of jumping to conclusions about a film which none of us have seen. That’s just simply intellectually disingenuous.
Luke,
I showed trailers and discussed the trailers. Sorry if showing trailers and discussing trailers was confusing to you.
I’ve spent enormous time and energy writing about PP’s genocidal war, and speaking to AA’s about it. I use the term genocide, as it is accurate.
The question then becomes “What to do about it?”
Movies showing terrorists with automatic weapons and ski masks is not my solution. The medium of the movie has power to move people in directions that are not good. Young people are highly suggestible and imitate what they see on screen. Either the trailer is an accurate preview of the movie’s trajectory, or it is deliberately deceptive. Both are less than kosher with me.
Doctor Nadal, allow me to compare apples & oranges for a moment by bringing up another recently released flick, “Machete”.
It’s a violent slasher movie that seems to pander to the sentiments of those supporting the causes of Hispanic illegal immigrants. Got some easily recognized names in it like Robert DeNiro, Steven Segal, Lindsay Lohan & Jessica Alba.
When it was released too many political conservatives pointed to it as a call to arms for the illegals to act against the nation in general and the state of Arizona in particular. Since then it’s tanked at the box office and absolutely zero acts of violence can be attributed to it’s influence. Just another cheap blood & guts flick designed to earn a few easy bucks.
I could be as wrong as a football bat but the trailers shown here for “Gates of Hell” seem indicative of the same. You mention a personal relationship between Troy Newman & Jill Stanek with this man “Molotov”, so maybe theres more than readily meets the eye of an uninformed schlub like myself. But it just seems someone is playing on the emotions of the proabort portion of the population for a few easy bucks.
Another film genre brought to mind were the blaxploitation flicks of the 70’s. They caused a lot of uneasiness in some white folk but as with “Machete” there were no mass risings of blacks against “the man”. Again, just another way to play on people’s emotions for easy money.
So regarding “Gates of Hell”, we should be careful not to give this POS more credibility than it actually deserves.
mmm….there are anti-abortion movies about anti- abortion. There are thriller flicks that take on……..alien invasions, murdering presidents, violent neighbors, stalking ex-husbands…….I’m okay with molotov mitchell taking the basic form of a violent thriller, and bending it to his wish to talk about abortion. the audience for this isn’t the anti- abortion crew. It’s thriller fans, who then get something else put in the violence sandwich- not just nihilistic thrills, but information they might not ever know.
And, well, every group ever does time in the violent movie bad-guys vinyard. They do it when they are going from invisibility up to consideration as decent americans. The usual invisibility is poverty and disgrace. It can be social distance. it’s a stage on the way to the mainstream imagination. In a few decades we’ll have psycho mormons. they are already showing up in books. we are patronizing muslims by -not- putting them on TV. They are still too other. So, now, conservative, family-oriented, anti- abortion, effective black men are being imagined. They are sort of Clarence Thomas’, Anita Hill’s, and the current crop of high- achieving black people’s shadow side. Seriously, batman- shadow donald trump, or hedge fund guy’s shadow. he used to be a millionaire. now he’s an international billionaire.
I agree with all your concerns, Gerard. This movie seems like a really bad idea and trouble in the making. We will never stop abortion through violence. Abortion IS violence! We’ll never change anyone’s mind or heart through violence. I also hope that this movie never sees the light of day.
[…] Coming Home Dr. Gerard Nadal presents his concerns regarding the upcoming pro-life film, “The Gates of […]
Hmmm… I had not heard of this film before, but I’ve now watched the trailers, both the gun-laden one and the more documentary-styled one, as well as the somewhat explanatory video (http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=mpg&load=5530&mpid=84) on Pajamas media.
My first reaction was that this film strikes me as sort of a “1984” attempt to envision a bleak potential future. In the future of “Gates of Hell,” the militant black community (which certainly exists today) strikes back upon realizing they’ve been systematically targeted by abortion. Seen in that light, I think that I “get it,” I understand what the filmmakers are trying to do. It’s a wakeup call of sorts. Is it appropriate in terms of violence? I can’t speak to that without seeing the entire film. There’s simply not enough of the plot in the trailer for me to know whether it’s little more than video game generation mayhem and death dressed up in an anti-abortion message, or the deeper cautionary tale the trailer suggests to me.
Will the majority of viewers literally think this film is urging violence upon the abortion industry? Obviously the trailer alone is raising alarms. Again, without seeing the entire movie, I hesitate to make that assumption myself. I can’t base my understanding of a movie’s underlying themes and overall value upon a two minute montage of scenes. I will say that nothing in the trailer motivates me to watch or recommend that others watch the film. However, I don’t think that I (a middle class, middle aged, conservative white female) am the demographic this movie is trying to reach.
I think using the term “this is one baby that should be strangled in its bassinet” is disgusting and deplorable! And you call yourself pro-life? Shame on you. Why you would use such a sick statement is beyond me…very distasteful.
Leah,
For as distressing as this sounds, the metaphor was chosen deliberately. Research it and you’ll understand why.
My video rebuttal to Dr. Nadal at WND: http://www.wnd.com/?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=104165&EmbedC=984dac0a-a990-45f1-87d8-9b166449906c
The official film website (featuring a quote from this very article) : http://www.gatesofhellfilm.com
While attending a private Lutheran College in WA I had the general silence of the Lutheran Church in the third reich brought up in various conversations. Given that abortion in the U.S. and planned parenthoods actions are reasonably understood to be genocidal in nature, and the generally high praise given to the ‘jewish’ french resistance during world war II, I have to ask how can we stand by when this is happening in our own backyard?
