The story — FBI agents with rifles arrested a pro-lifer at his home.
Here is an account, and then I’ll make comments. LifeSiteNews: FBI raids home of Catholic pro-life speaker, author with guns drawn as his terrified kids watch
A well-known pro-life author, sidewalk counselor, and father of seven was the latest victim of a U.S. Department of Justice-sponsored SWAT raid and arrest — for supposed “FACE Act” violations — at his rural home as his children looked on “screaming.”
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.
According to his wife Ryan-Marie, who spoke with LifeSiteNews, he also drives two hours south to Philadelphia every Wednesday to sidewalk council for six to eight hours at two different abortion centers.
Ryan-Marie, who is a homeschool mother, explained the SWAT team of 25 to 30 FBI agents swarmed their property with around 15 vehicles at 7:05 a.m. this morning. Having quickly surrounded the house with rifles in firing position, “they started pounding on the door and yelling for us to open it.”
Before opening the door, she explained, her husband 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,” she said.
When he opened the door, “they had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house,” Ryan-Marie described.
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 just screaming. It was all just very scary and traumatic,” she explained.
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.”
When Ryan-Marie protested, saying that is kidnapping, “you can’t just come to a person’s house and kidnap them at gunpoint,” they agreed to get the warrant for her from one of their vehicles.
At this point, Mark asked her to get him a sweatshirt and his rosaries, but when she returned, they already had loaded him into a vehicle.
They provided the first page of the warrant and said they were taking him “to the federal building in downtown Philadelphia.”
“After they had taken Mark, and the kids were all screaming that he was their best friend, the [FBI agents on her porch] kind of softened a bit. I think they realized what was happening. Or maybe they actually looked at the warrant,” Ryan-Marie explained. “They looked pretty ashamed at what had just happened.”
[…]
The warrant charged Mark with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, due to a claimed “ATTACK OF A PATIENT ESCORT.”
Ryan-Marie stated this 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 [at an abortion clinic] last year, he took his eldest son, who was only 12 at the time, she explained. For “weeks and weeks,” a “pro-abortion protester” would speak to the boy saying “crude … inappropriate and disgusting things,” such as “you’re dad’s a fag,” and other statements that were too vulgar for her to convey.
“Repeatedly, Mark would tell this pro-abortion man that he did not have permission to speak to his son and please refrain from doing so. And “he kept doing it and kind of came into [the son’s] personal space” obscenely ridiculing his father. At this point, “Mark shoved him away from his child, and the guy fell back.”
“He didn’t have any injuries or anything, but he tried to sue Mark, and the case was thrown out of court in the early summer.
That’s an excerpt from the LifeSiteNews article.
—Some people reading the account will say, “Well, there had to be more to the story. Mark must have done something else. The FBI would never raid his home with that kind of force just because he pushed a guy one day, and on top of that, the guy’s lawsuit was thrown out of court…”
“People who are arrested always lie and claim they’re innocent.”
“Maybe the FBI rifles weren’t loaded.”
“Maybe the FBI went to the wrong house and arrested the wrong man.”
“Maybe this pro-lifer Houck is such an expert pusher of people the FBI needed all those agents to protect themselves.”
Or maybe the event unfolded exactly as described in LifeSiteNews.
And there was no reason to make an arrest.
And there’s an on-off switch at the Department of Justice: “This time it’s a Police State, and this time it isn’t.” The FBI director or the Attorney General or a field FBI agent in charge can turn the switch on or off at will. Depending on the case, depending on the agenda.
Agendas of course have nothing to do with crimes or guilt or innocence or probable cause.
The judge who signed the warrant — he also has that on-off switch.
Let’s see. Has any other news outlet covered this story? Yes, the Daily Beast.
The headline reads: “Anti-Abortion Activist Charged With Pushing 72-Yr-Old Volunteer to the Ground Outside Clinic.” Then there’s an interesting sub-head: “FACING THE MUSIC.”
A Pennsylvania anti-abortion protester was arrested Friday for allegedly shoving a 72-year-old volunteer patient escort to the ground, according to an indictment unsealed in Philadelphia federal court. Prosecutors say Mark Houck, 47, was picketing outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Philly last October when he attacked the senior, who was helping two patients into the facility. The extent of the victim’s injuries are not specified, but the indictment states the person “required medical attention.” Houck, whose website describes him as “an author, lecturer, radio host, activist and passionate Catholic” who previously worked as a “full-time chastity educator,” now faces felony charges. He does not have a lawyer listed in court records.
So in the Daily Beat article it’s “pushed to the ground.” “Required medical attention.” Does attention mean treatment? No mention of a prior lawsuit against Houck that was thrown out of court, according to Houck’s wife.
Here is the official release from the Dept. of Justice: Bucks County Man Indicted on Federal Charges for Assaulting a Reproductive Healthcare Clinic Escort
PHILADELPHIA — United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero announced that Mark Houck, 48, of Kintnersville, PA, was charged by Indictment with a violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which makes it a federal crime to use force with the intent to injure, intimidate, and interfere with anyone because that person is a provider of reproductive health care. The defendant was arrested and made his initial appearance in federal court on these charges earlier today.
According to court documents, the defendant is alleged to have twice assaulted a man because he was a volunteer reproductive health care clinic escort. The charges stem from two separate incidents both on October 13, 2021, which occurred at the Planned Parenthood Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center on Locust Street in Philadelphia, where Houck allegedly assaulted the victim, a 72-year-old man, identified in the Indictment as “B.L.,” because B.L. was a volunteer escort at the reproductive health care clinic. In the first incident, B.L. was attempting to escort two patients exiting the clinic, when the defendant forcefully shoved B.L. to the ground. In the second incident, the defendant verbally confronted B.L. and forcefully shoved B.L. to the ground in front of the Planned Parenthood center, causing injuries to B.L. that required medical attention.
“Assault is always a serious offense, and under the FACE Act, if the victim is targeted because of their association with a reproductive healthcare clinic, it is a federal crime,” said U.S. Attorney Romero. “Our Office and the Department of Justice are committed to prosecuting crimes which threaten the safety and rights of all individuals.”
Crimes like the George Floyd riots that spread to cities across America?
How many looters, burners, and assaulters were arrested and prosecuted? How many weren’t?
How many of those rioters who committed serious crimes were visited at their homes by squads of agents with rifles?
Just trying to keep score.
Memo to the US Attorney General: Instead of labeling millions of people who’ve lost faith in the DOJ potential domestic terrorists, you might take a look at this Houck case. It could offer insight into that loss of faith. Just a thought. I know you’re very busy with gender pronouns and up to date definitions of non-binary and so on. Nevertheless…carve out a few minutes. Who knows? You might be surprised. Besides, I have a feeling a few million pro-lifers are very interested in what happens to Houck. They’re watching.

The hottest takes on culture
dont forget under JEW World Order
all values are changed to the oposite :
black is white, good is bad, criminal
in governments interests is honourable .
well, he does need a kicking. trying to force his opinions on others like all endless humans fanatics. why’s he hanging about abortion clinics? what a slime ball. and he has 7 brats? nice for him. i find it unamusing how all these scum can spew out endless brats but there’s nothing we can do to stop them, and then he tries to stop us with all his skanky religious BS from doing what we want with our own bodies. i wonder how much benefit money he gets for those 7 brats…
Everything that the NAZIS were accused of, is now happening in the states. Read “Life in the Reich” and “Reich and wrong” by Mike Walsh. Also read up about Eisenhower’s death camps after the war. What went round is coming round. Good Luck. You’ll need it.
Reply to Gwen, obviously your left bias slant blinds you to reality and your hypocrisy is glaring. Aren’t Antifa and BLM trying to force their communist opinions on the public by looting and burning down whole cities? Doesn’t the commie leaning government/media make excuses for them under the first amendment? How many of these leftists are on the government dole and “spewing out brats” that we support ? Protesting is a double edged sword Mr Houck has a right to protest and to protect his children without threat of assault from a demented obviously leftist lunatic.
@Gwen: What hate filled diatribe out of your mouth. Let me guess: you are one of the following ghouls that infect our once civilized society
1. Brainwashed white liberal
2. A scummy Jew who likes to brainwash the whites.
You damn the man for having children, but, say nothing of the fact of the Jew sponsored and infested FBI who raided his home where his wife and children should feel safe. And who the hell are you to criticize his attempts to make society more civilized to live in? Like I said you’re more than likely one of the previously mentioned ghouls.

You damn the man for having children, but, glaringly approve of the unprovoked act of the Jew sponsored and infested FBI who raided his home where his wife and children should feel safe. And who the hell are you to criticize his attempts to make society more civilized to live in? Like I said you’re more than likely one of the previously mentioned ghouls.
This is not new. Remember Vicky Weaver and her son?? If the US citizens do not demand that the FBI and CIA are razed to the ground, they will have only themselves to blame.
Reading through this article….
The basic titration/dissection is that there is NO rule of Law…No “Constitution”..No ” Bill of Rights”.etc.
Sure….go hold the aforementioned up like a crucifix to a vampire…how’d that work for you???
There is no “law”…we are in Bolshevik mode 2.0
As I have submitted many times..we don’t need heros..we need survivors. Think smart.
It never gets complicated if you point out the truth. The big Jew elephant in the room. Standing proudly against all those evil Catholics.Isnt it strange that FBI has purged the Catholic agents and hired up the same class of demons that Lenin and Stalin did? Gotta erase those Christians for ever, or they just might be successful in showing the world who really killed Christ.
He goes to abortion clinics with his 12 year old son and stands there abusing those going in and out. Why does he take his son? At some point someone gets annoyed at him and he pushes that person down. You can imagine what he’d be saying if that person had pushed his son down. All through the jabbing you had people saying “it’s my body and you can’t force me to be jabbed”, now you’ve got people saying “it’s our body and you can’t have an abortion”. Like that makes sense. But you can always trust a human to be a hypocrite, a fascist, and a bully. And he also hides his fascism behind religion, which seems to have eviscerated itself over the last few years. Personally, I hope they lock him up, if only to prevent him having even more little fascist wannabee children.
Gwen has no soul. No better than an animal. Might as well be a fecking jew!
@ GWEN+NORTENO
all the fuckn worldimprover with
their ideas will land nowhere .
also this jewish talmudist commis .
it takes some time decades or centutries .
the nature will regulate everything. i
am not talking about a fuckn gods way .
sorry until this time of balance there will
be a lot of humans selfinflicted suffering .
god or satan has nothing to do with it .
@ waw
correct ! CIA/FBI are criminal organisations
involved in domestic + international terror +
wars, drug + arms trade . they are not only
damaging peaceful other nations but in
first place their own citizens (chemtrailing,
Waco; Oklahoma bombing, diverse false
flag shootings + murder of dissidents, spy
on americans etc)
The end is near. instilling FEAR in the population. Everything dies in time. Their turn will come. It is called the law of cause and effect.
An EVIL has taken over America(United States).
Mystic and Yogi
One thing is certain. The next US Civil war is going to make the previous one look rather tame. Both sides simply hate each other. So much for that “Loving thine enemy” stuff that Jesus supposedly talked about.
“Why does he take his son?”
Well if he was a leftie he would be labelled “Virtue signalling”, but because he’s a right wing christian it would be labelled “Being virtuous”, because he is putting “The Lord’s work” before the safety of his children.
Of course, let us never forget the trail of blood left by Christians as they marched westward, slaughtering anybody who didn’t accept their religion, and now they are wanting to move west again, in the general direction of China.
