• A pistol-packing pastor who drew national attention earlier this year for hosting a "God-and-Guns" event at his church is stepping down from the pulpit to serve his flock with a new mission.
• Pastor Ken Pagano ended his 30-year career last month when he resigned from the New Bethel Church in Louisville, Ky., saying that he wants to focus on church security and Second Amendment rights — a crusade he insists is better fought outside the ministry.
• "Thirty years was a good, long run, but it's time for a change," Pagano told the Washington Times.
• "If I can write my own ticket, I want to get involved more in Second Amendment issues as they affect the church, and I can do more from outside the pulpit than from behind it," Pagano told the paper.
• About 200 people attended Pagano's "Open Carry Celebration" at the New Bethel Church in June
• The event commemorated the roles of religion and gun ownership in American history, and included a handgun raffle.
• Attendees were also provided with firearms-safety information.
• While Pagano says the event drew mostly positive responses, it made him realize that he might have another calling — keeping worshippers safe.
• Pagano has since teamed up with New York Rabbi Gary Moskowitz, who has worked to protect synagogues from terrorist attacks, to form the International Security Coalition of Clergy,
• an organization dedicated to "making the vulnerable less vulnerable," according to their mission statement.
• The group promotes the use of armed and trained security at houses of worship. Kentucky law allows residents to carry guns openly in public, with restrictions.
• "Churches are very soft targets and very vulnerable to attack from terrorists and other homegrown, disgruntled individuals," Pagano told The Washington Times. "Unfortunately, most religious leaders are living in denial," he told the paper.

• THE EVIL IN OUR MIDST
• ["We have met the enemy, and he is us."]

• "The wicked are wicked no doubt, and they go astray   and they fall and they come to their own deserts; but   who can tell the mischief the virtuous do?"

     

  - William Thackery

• DICK CHENEY AS THE "BLOODY MONK"  

   

  "Killing for the joy of it is   wrong, but killing because it is necessary to fight   against an anti-Christ system ... is not only right,   but the duty of every Christian."

   

  The words of one Death Squad Member   in Honduras
• INTRODUCTION
• The great conceit of liberalism - of the Left - is its refusal   to concede reality to powers that are greater than man. The   effort by the Left to discount these powers is so absurd that   it borders on the moronic.
• At best, it's innocence masquerading   as "worldliness;" at worst, it's folly pretending to be wisdom   (Romans 1:22).
• The fact of the matter is, however, powers far   greater than man control his destiny - and though unseen and   little suspected by the rulers of the earth, there are "principalities,"   "powers," and "world-rulers of darkness" who are really in charge   of this world and who direct the affairs of man - and with whom,   as Paul tells us, we have to wage a fearful warfare:
• "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against   principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the   darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high   (i.e., heavenly) places." (Ephesians 6:12)
• THE LEFT BATTLES AGAINST PHANTOMS
    IT CANNOT BY ANY MEANS SEE
• The Left, which fails to recognize this fact, but which - nonetheless   - fancies itself an exposer of the "flesh and blood" wickedness   in others, wields little more than a wooden sword against what   are really only shadows.
• The Left can speak only of "good"   and "evil," but not of the dragons beyond those comfortable   conceits.
• It battles against phantoms it cannot by any means   see, and exposes nothing more than the secondhand sins of its   flesh and blood adversaries, while never coming to grips with   the real powers which stand behind that flesh and blood.
• The words, "JURIS PRAECEPTA SUNT HAEC: HONESTE VIVERE   ALTERUM NON LAEDERE SUM CUIQUE TRIBURE" (These are the   precepts of law: to live honestly, to harm no one, and to give   each his due) are the watchwords by which these left-wing agnostics   attempt to order their lives and the lives of other men.
• They   were written by the third-century Roman jurist Ulpian - like   them, an agnostic - and their presence above the entrances of   countless court buildings throughout the Western World attests   to the attempt by such men to believe that they are in charge   - that they control their own destiny; that they rule over the   forces of "good" and "evil" in this world.
• But the fate of Ulpian, who gave these words to Rome, speaks   more to the reality: Ulpian was ultimately slain in the imperial   palace beneath the light of day by the very unseen forces of   evil he had denied in life - forces which proved far more evil,   far more malignant, far more powerful, and much more deeply   set in stone than his words could ever be.
• WHO CAN TELL THE MISCHIEF
    THE VIRTUOUS DO
• But while the Left holds to its conceits, the conceits of the   Right are far more malignant and much more dangerous.
• Unlike   the Left, the Right does not deny the reality of the supernatural;   what it does is much worse: it believes that it can manipulate   these forces - that they are on its side, like "little angels."

• Speaking of this monumental conceit, William Thackery said:

   

   

  "The wicked [which the Right supposes is the Left] are wicked   no doubt, and they go astray and they fall and they come to   their own deserts; but who can tell the mischief the virtuous   [i.e., those on the Right] do?"
• And nowhere is this more true than in America.
• The American   Right has a messianic image of itself and America, and the extent   to which it portrays America's history to the world as a succession   of righteous acts is a clear testimony to this fact.
• GOD   AND AMERICA! CHURCH AND STATE! - these are the watchwords   of the Right.

• Speaking concerning this supposed link between   the Almighty and the United States, Senator Beveridge (1862   - 1927) once said,

   

   

  "We will not repudiate our duty ... WE WILL NOT RENOUNCE   OUR PART IN THE MISSION OF OUR ... [PEOPLE] AS THE TRUSTEE   UNDER GOD, OF THE CIVILIZATION OF THE WORLD; we will move   forward to our work ... with gratitude ... and thanksgiving   to Almighty God that HE HAS MARKED US AS HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE   HENCEFORTH TO LEAD IN THE REGENERATION OF THE WORLD ..."
• Beveridge's belief that America was, in its origins, institutions,   history, and international conduct, God's "Chosen Nation" is   something few in the Right doubt;

• to which we would reply with   Robert Burns,

   

   

  "Would that some power the gift to give us, to see ourselves   as others see us."
• And how do others see us? Maybe Simon Bolivar, the great liberator   of South America - reacting to the arrogance of the Monroe Doctrine   -

• said it best when he wrote:

   

   

  "The United States appears to be destined by Providence to   PLAGUE us with misery In the name of liberty."
• AMERICANS SEE PROOF OF THEIR "DIVINE"
    CALLING IN THE MILITARY POWER THEY WIELD
• Michael Parenti has written,
• "A nation which has spent the better portion of its history   captivated by its own Chosen People mythology will have little   difficulty in believing it is preeminently qualified to uplift   mankind. The salvation impulse is compounded when national   virtue is wedded to national power, for Americans begin to   see proof of their divine calling in the very power which   enables them to thrust themselves upon others."
• Is it God's or does it belong   to some other supernatural agency? That's the question -
• But what exactly is this "divine power" to which America and the   Right feel themselves connected?

• question,   however, that should not be all that difficult to answer in light   of John 18:36:

   

   

  "Jesus answered, My kingdom is NOT of this   world ..."
• But if Christ's kingdom is not of this world, then to whose   supernatural kingdom and power is America (and the Religious   Right) really attached? That's the question!
• And, make no mistake about it! - It is a question full of import   insofar as American Christians are concerned.

• Well did Jesus   say of the this kind of people:

   

   

  "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

   

  "And changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness   of an image ... [they made themselves]

   

  "Wherefore God has given them up ...

   

  "For that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie ..."   (Romans 1:22-25)
• And that is exactly what American Christians have done: Made   God over in their own image; made Him to appear as they in their   titanic arrogance think He ought to appear.
• EVERY TREE IS KNOWN
    BY ITS OWN FRUIT

• Jesus said:

   

   

  "A good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; NEITHER   DOTH A CORRUPT TREE BRING FORTH GOOD FRUIT.

   

  "Every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men   do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

   

  "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth   forth that which is good; and AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL   TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS EVIL:   for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh." (Luke   6:43-45)

• And again He said:

   

   

  "By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather   grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

   

  "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but THE   CORRUPT TREE BRINGETH FORTH EVIL FRUIT.

   

  "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, NEITHER CAN   A CORRUPT TREE BRING FORTH GOOD FRUIT.

   

  "Every   tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and   cast into the fire.

   

  "THEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM." (Matthew   7:16-20)
• IF THAT'S THE CASE ...
• If that's the case, then what Seymour Hersh discovered about   the "goings-on" of Dick Cheney in the White House over the last   eight years should send shivers down the spines of all those   American Christians who have tied themselves to the machinations   of those who are connected to America's right-wing - which is   about every evangelical Christian in the country.
• Hersh reports that Cheney had his own SS-style political assassination   unit that reported directly to him -
• AND WHEN ONE LOOKS CLOSELY   AT THIS PARTICULAR UNIT, ONE CANNOT HELP BUT BE SHOCKED BY THE   PERVASIVE PRESENCE OF CHRISTIANS IN IT
• (and we speak here   of Task Force 121 and General Boykin, which is precisely the   unit Hersh pointed at in his report of March 11, 2009).
• Of course it is if one takes seriously the   words of Christ (see above - Matthew 7:16-20 and Luke 6:43-45),
• unless one is prepared to say that God sanctions the BRUTALITY   and BLOOD-LETTING in which Task Force 121 is involved.   Yes, "A tree is known by its fruit.")
• ONE IS REMINDED   OF
    THE WORDS OF HITLER
• And make no mistake about it, the presence of so many Christians   in this BLOODY business is shocking.
• Sadly, however, it is not the first time that Christians have   become involved in such activity;
• this is precisely what happened   in Germany more than seventy years ago when Hitler seized power   there - promising to "clean things up" in the interest of the   "Prince of Peace."

• To that end, in a speech in Stuttgart on   February 16, 1933, Hitler said:

   

   

  "Today Christians ... stand at the head of Germany ...   I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want   to destroy Christianity ... We want to fill our culture again   with the Christian spirit ... We want to burn out all the   recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater,   and in the press - in short, we want to burn out the poison   of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture   as a result of liberal excess during the past ... [few] years."
• Then - in his first radio address to the German people after coming   to power - he promised:
• "The national government ... will maintain and defend   the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It   will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis   of our collective morality."
• CONCERNING THIS POLITICAL
    ASSASSINATION UNIT ...

• Speaking concerning America's new political assassination unit   (Cheney's equivalent to Hitler's Gestapo), Hersh told a University   of Minnesota audience last month,

   

   

  "After 9/11, I haven't written about this yet, but the Central   Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities   against people they thought to be enemies of the state. Without   any legal authority for it. They haven't been called on it   yet."
• Hersh then went on to describe how the Joint Special Operations   Command was (is) America's "Murder Inc." charged with carrying   out political assassinations.

• He went on to say:

   

   

   

         

  Hersh

    "It [i.e., the Joint Special Operations Command] is a special   wing of our 'special operations community' that is set up independently.   They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days,   they reported directly to the Cheney office ... Congress has   no oversight of it."
• NOTE: Seymour (Sy) Myron Hersh (born April   8, 1937) is an American Pulitzer Prize winning investigative   journalist and author based in Washington, D.C. He is a   regular contributor to The New Yorker Magazine on   military and security matters. His work first gained worldwide   recognition in 1969 for exposing the My Lai Massacre and   its cover-up during the Vietnam War, for which he received   the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. His   2004 reports on the U.S. military's mistreatment of detainees   at Abu Ghraib prison gained much attention.
• The revelation that Cheney had his own private   assassination unit - one that is not too far removed in kind   from Hitler's notorious SA (Sturmabteilung), the much   feared para-military wing of the Nazi party which was used to   beat, torture and kill political opponents of the Nazis in 1930's   Germany, and the Waffen SS (Schutzstaffel), which was   later used in the war to carry out executions and war crimes   - is shocking.
• SWEEPING   ASIDE ALL
    LEGAL PROHIBITIONS
• Tellingly, like America is doing today, German courts quickly   swept aside centuries of legal prohibition against extra-judicial   killings to demonstrate their loyalty to Hitler.
• The Waffen   SS was deemed beyond prosecution despite the fact that it was   blatantly involved in egregious and ongoing war crimes, as well   as domestic assassinations.
• This is exactly the "legal territory"   that the Joint Special Operations Command is described as "inhabiting."

•   Hersh said:

   

   

  "It's an executive assassination ring essentially, and it's   been going on and on and on. Under President Bush's authority,   they've been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador   or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and   executing them and leaving. That's been going on in the name   of all of us."
• THE "SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND"
    DID NOT APPEAR OUT OF THIN AIR
• The "Special Operation's Command," however, did not appear out   of thin air.
• There is a history that stands behind its "sudden   appearance" - A HISTORY THAT DEEPLY INVOLVES THE AMERICAN CHRISTIAN   COMMUNITY AND ITS FILTHY ENTANGLEMENT WITH AMERICA'S INTELLIGENCE   AGENCIES and the ghastly deeds with which these agencies are   entwined.
• [Please see our article, "The   American Empire: The Corporate   / Pentagon / CIA / Missionary Archipelago."]
• We   say "ghastly" because this relationship originated out   of the same devilish milieu of squalid forces that swirled and   spun around the assassination of President John F. Kennedy;
• the same aloof, clandestine forces from which the 1976 House   and Senate Select Committee - after uncovering the fact that   there had indeed been a "CONSPIRACY" surrounding the   murder of JFK - drew back in fear, refusing to press the matter   farther out of DREAD concerning what they might discover.
• [Please see our article, "The Men   Who Gathered Themselves Together at Clint Murchison's Dallas   Home Forty-Five Years Ago."]
• Most members of the Committee suspected the CIA was responsible,   as evidenced by the words of Democratic Representative Don Edwards   of California -
• a man not much given to conspiracy theories   and who actually chaired the 1976 House committee hearings on   the veracity of the Warren Commission Report, and a former FBI   agent himself - who said:
• "There's not much question (anymore) that ... the CIA   is somewhere behind this cover-up. I hate to think what it   is they are covering up - or who they are covering up for."
• NOTE: And, as if to confirm everyone's worst   fears, J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI at the time   of the assassination, was reported to have said many years   later to a close colleague:
• "If I told you what I really know [about the JFK   assassination], it would be very dangerous to this country.   Our whole political system could be disrupted."
• As a result of all this, there was a growing fear by many   committee members that the investigation, if left to find its   own end, would lead to a very "bad" result:
• The committee members   began to sense that should JFK's killers be revealed for whom   they actually were and what they had really done, the rage that   such revelations would produce against America's foreign policy,   intelligence and political establishments among the "masses"   would spell disaster for the American political (and even the   American economic) system.
• [Please see our article, "Conspiracy   Theories."]
• The truth was, the committee had begun to accumulate a good   deal of evidence that seemed to suggest who the real ringleaders   (the killers on the ground) had been;
• specifically, David Atlee   Phillips and a cabal of "agents" consisting of some of the CIA's   most lethal operatives whose careers were profoundly entwined   with the history of agency assassination plots -
• from top echelon   officers such as Richard Helms to E. Howard Hunt, and from Ted   Schackley to the Agency's Mob liaison William Harvey.
• All these   men - everyone of them - had ice in their veins for blood; and   they were UTTERLY convinced of the righteousness of their   cause.
• From ghoules   and ghosties and long-legged beasties and things that   go "bump in the night" - GOOD LORD PRESERVE US!
•                    

  The CIA's Special Operations Cabal   that was probably responsible for the assassination   of JFK: From left to right starting at the top: Richard   Helms, E. Howard Hunt, William Harvey, Ted Schackley,   David Atlee Phillips (AKA Maurice Bishop) Thomas Davis,   Christian David and Lucian Sarti.
• Please see the following   video on
    Phillips (AKA Bishop)
• And not only that, evidence was beginning to surface which   indicated to whom these ringleaders actually answered, and to   whom they were connected in the larger society; specifically,   to various high-ranking elements in right-wing political and   industrial circles -
• ELEMENTS WHICH WERE DRAGGED OUT OF THE   SHADOWS AND "EXPOSED" FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING THE IRAN   / CONTRA HEARINGS
• (i.e., those business and political   figures connected to Oliver North's efforts to circumvent Congressional   restrictions on providing military assistance to the Contra   War effort during the Reagan years - the same elements which   supported out of their own not inconsiderable largesse the continuation   of the war despite those restrictions).
• Please see the following   video on the shadowy forces behind the Iran / Contra
• The IRAN / CONTRA   hearings were important because they revealed for the   first time the existence of a "government within a government"
    in the United States.
• Finally - and what is worst of all - the Iran / Contra hearings   exposed the presence of two hitherto unknown entities that were   attached to America's "government within a government" that   no one had suspected prior to the hearings:

• The presence of   -

   
   
  1.  

     The Evangelical Christian Community and the conservative   wing of the Catholic Church (together with the Moonies   and the Mormon religious communities) and,

      
   
  2.  

     The Conservative Jewish Community - both in the   United States and Israel.

  • Hmmm..sounds like some of Twitter's "TCOT" members
  Add Sticky Note
• THE PRESENCE OF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT IN
    AMERICA'S GOVERNMENT WITHIN A GOVERNMENT
• Regarding the American Christian community, what the Iran   / Contra hearings did was to reveal for the first time the presence   - on a truly MASSIVE scale - of the American Christian   community in America's "government within a government."
• This   revelation became clear when Joseph Coors was called as a witness   at the hearing.
• Coors was one of the founders of the CNP (the Council on National   Policy), an elite coordinating agency put together by Tim LaHaye,   Pat Robertson, Joseph Coors and Nelson Bunker Hunt as a means   of synchronizing the activities of the Economic Right and the   Religious Right with America's "government within a government."
•    

  Joseph Coors
• PAT ROBERTSON AND
    THE DEATH SQUADS

• Some of the many religious-right   leaders associated with the CNP.

   

  From left to right beginning at the   top:

   

  Lou Sheldon, James Robison, Howard   Ahmanson, R.J. Rushdoony, John Whitehead, Sarah Palin,   Tim LaHaye, Phyllis Schafley, Pat Robertson, John Ankerberg,   Bob Jones III, David Breese, Chuck Missler, Sam Moore.

     
• Moreover, the extent to which the CNP managed to coordinate the   activities of these three entities (see above) is revealed in   the fact that this coordination reached far beyond the mundane   and touched upon the Contra Wars and the death squads - death   squads that were the precursors of Task Force 121.
• Take for example,   how deeply the CNP managed to involve Pat Robertson in these bloody   conflicts:
• In the Spring of 1984 Pat Robertson and CBN reporter   Norm Mintle traveled to El Salvador where they met with the late   Roberto D'Aubuisson. Following the trip, the "700 Club"   aired four 20-30 minute segments on El Salvador, the major theme   being that D'Aubuisson was a "very nice fellow"   who was being maligned by the "biased liberalism" of   Newsweek, Time and U.S. News and World Report.
• D' Aubuisson was   considered to be the most notorious torturer and Death Squad   leader in El Salvador; he was described by Robert White, former   U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador, as a "pathological killer,"   and was widely known as "Major Soplete" (i.e., "Major   Blowtorch").
• D'Aubuisson - a very nice fellow? Hardly!
• [Please see our article, "The   Death Squads: Bringing in the Kingdom of God through Terror,   Torture and Death."]
• How is it possible that Robertson could have described him   as "a very nice fellow?" - but that's the kind of   "purposeful blindness" which has become altogether   too much the hallmark of those evangelicals who have gotten   mixed up in the kind of DECEIT that marks such partnerships.

• Sir Walter Scott said it best when he wrote:

   

   

  "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to   DECEIVE!" (Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17).

   

           

  Robertson and D'Aubuisson
• When confronted with the facts concerning those with whom they   have allied themselves, evangelical leaders such as Robertson   don't bother confronting the plain truth of the matter, but   with a wave of their hand they simply lie and dismiss the allegations   outright.
• Truly it can be said of these Christians: "Having   ears to hear, they hear not, and eyes to see, they see not!"   (Mark 8:18)
• NOTE:   AND ONE SHOULD MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THE PEOPLE WITH   WHOM THE EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HAS MADE COMMON CAUSE IN   THE CNP ARE PUTRID, SMALL-MINDED, SELFISH MEN.
• Take   Richard Shoff, for example, owner of Lincoln Log Homes in   North Carolina; Schoff is a former Ku Klux Klan leader in   Indiana.
• Then there's Jay Parker and John McGoff, both involved   in trying to prop up the extreme racial policies of the   former South African government (again, belying any avowal   that the CNP might make regarding God's love for all mankind,   not just simply the white race.)
• [Please see our article,   "Racism and Right-Wing Christianity."]
• Then there's Reed Larson of the National Right to Work   Committee (NRTWC) and Don McAlvany, a contributing editor   to the John Birch Society's weekly, New American;
• McAlvany once made a statement suggesting that someone might   want to kill Desmond Tutu; he quickly retracted the statement,   but - (?)
• That   people who call themselves Christian can tolerate ties which   so clearly connect them to fascists, anti-Semites and racists   does not say much for the brand of Christianity they represent.
• Exchanging a situation in this country that is dominated   by "secular humanists" for one that is dominated   by anti-Semites, fascists and racists is akin to jumping   from the frying pan into the fire.
• It is no accident that   these are precisely the same three groups which have historically   fostered a belief in conspiracism - specifically, the Illuminist   Myth, each for its own reasons: the business community as   a means of defense against unionism, the Religious Right   as a defense against "atheistic socialism," and   the Political Right against "one-world universalism."
• [Please see our article, "Pat   Robertson, Illuminism and the New World Order."]
• THE SAD PRESENCE OF ISRAEL AS A LACKEY IN
    AMERICA'S "GOVERNMENT WITHIN A GOVERNMENT"
• Also - as we indicated above - in addition to the presence   of the conservative Christian community in America's "government   within a government," a second hitherto little suspected entity   surfaced during the Iran / Contra Hearings: the conservative   Jewish community both in America and in Israel.
• The presence   of this community manifested itself as the Committee's investigation   began turning up evidence regarding Israel's secret involvement   in the swap of money and guns that was being manipulated between   America and Iran:
• Israel was exposed as a sleazy "go-between"   insofar as Iran and the United States were concerned;
• NOT   ONLY THAT, THEY WERE EXPOSED FOR BEING HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH   ORGANIZATIONS INTIMATELY CONNECTED TO AMERICA'S BLOODY CONTRA   WARS IN CENTRAL AMERICA. 

• Reacting to Israel's exposure as a participant in these wars,   Jewish writer Y. Karny asked the obvious question,

   

   

  "What vital interest does Israel have in this area of the   world? - She has NO vital interest there at all!"
• Nonetheless, there Israel could be found - up to her neck in   the blood of "innocents" in Central America.
• Writing   concerning Israel's involvement in these shameful wars, Karny   wrote in Yediot Aharonot with tears in his eyes (Jerusalem;   October, 1984):
• "Today, one would be hard pressed to find five countries   in the world which support the [dictatorial, blood-thirsty]   Salvadoran regime [in Central America]. The United States   under Ronald Reagan is at the head of the list of supporters.
• In this 'honorable' company, one can find Guatemala, a huge   concentration camp masquerading as a state [under the headship   of Rios Montt (a devil masquerading as a Christian)]; and   - sadly - ONE CAN ALSO FIND THE STATE OF ISRAEL."
• [Please see our article, "Mystery,   Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots."]
• It was plain to Karny: Israel had been reduced to the status   of a household slave (a "bootlicker," a "puppet") in the service   of the American New World Order System.
• A "MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING"
• And Karny wasn't the only one in Israel who took note of what   was going on.  There was also Dr. Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, an Israeli   professor of psychology at Haifa University;
• he confirmed the   fact that Israel's involvement in the Contra Wars was no "happen   chance" coincidence. He traced the origins of Israel's involvement   in these unjust and blood-drenched wars back to a "MEMORANDUM   OF UNDERSTANDING" signed between the United States and   Israel "under cover of darkness" in November, 1981.
• It was an agreement that bound Israel as an American proxy "OUTSIDE   THE EAST MEDITERRANEAN ZONE;"
• one that made Israel a   "full" partner (really, a puppet) in America's gruesome   wars to extend its New World Order System into areas of the world   where Israel had no real interests other than to ingratiate herself   to her American masters;
• in the 1980s, that meant participation   in the Contra Wars in Central America.
• Beit-Hallahmi wrote   in disgust:
• "In Israel the United States has found a more than willing   PROXY. Indeed, in some cases the initiative for Israeli   involvement in third world 'troublespots' has come from Israel   and not the United States.
• This was the case in April 1983,   when the director-general of the Israeli Foreign Ministry,   David Kimche, arrived in Washington with a grand plan for   an Israeli 'assistance program' in Africa, Asia and Latin   America, financed by the United States.
• From Israel's point   of view such a plan makes much sense: it gains Israel contacts   in the third world, and MAKES HER A MORE INDISPENSABLE   ALLY FOR THE UNITED STATES."
• Beit-Hallahmi went on to elaborate:
• "Israel's involvement in Central America has been a   collaborative venture with the United States ... Part 1 of   this memorandum [see above] deals with military cooperation   between the United States and Israel in areas 'OUTSIDE   THE EAST MEDITERRANEAN ZONE'; the 3rd part called for   arms sales to 'third' parties."
• [Please see B. Bahbah,   "Israelis and Central America," Chicago Tribune, June   21, 1983; see also . P. Taubman, "Israel Said To Aid Latin   Aims of U.S.," The New York Times, July 21, 1983.]
• Beit-Hallahmi continues:
• "A meeting between the Israeli ambassador in Washington,   Meir Rosenne, and then Ambassador-at-Large Vernon Walters is   said to have taken place in early 1984.
• ["Israel and Latin America:   The Second Lebanon War," Smol, June 1984.]
• Walters, former   CIA deputy director and ... [then] U.S. Ambassador to the United   Nations, reportedly asked for greater Israeli involvement in   'defending the free world' on the Central American front, and   Rosenne is said to have concurred. Israel's role in Central   America ... [was] indeed crucial for the United States, which   ... [could not] offer direct and open military aid to states   like Guatemala, because of those countries' blatant human rights   violations.
• BUT ISRAEL CAN AND DOES OFFER SUCH AID, AS IT   DOES IN OTHER REGIONS OF THE WORLD WHERE THE UNITED STATES CANNOT   OPERATE DIRECTLY, e.g., IN RHODESIA [now Zimbabwe] AND   SOUTH AFRICA ..."
• [Please see our article, "The   Catholic / Evangelical Rapprochement."]
• That's pretty heavy involvement; indeed, it's what one calls   "being a good toady" - someone who not only is willing   to do America's dirty work for her, but is actually EAGER   to do it
• The United States couldn't have been more delighted,   and it soon followed up on the Israeli suggestion.
• The reality of what Beit-Hallahmi and Karny were writing about   in the early 1980s was made plain as time passed by the growing   - and, eventually - ubiquitous presence of Israeli "agents"   and "military advisors" in the death squad activity being carried   on in Central America
• under the auspices of "Christian" organizations   such as the Institution on Religion and Democracy (IRD) and   its sister organizations, the "Committee for the Free World,"   "Prodemca" and the "Friends of the Democratic   Center in Central America" -
• all of them, right-wing organizations   that didn't blink an eye in involving themselves with the death   squads associated with the CIA.
• THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE
    AMERICAN JEWISH COMMUNITY
• And we speak here not only of the presence of Israeli "agents"   and ""military advisors," but also of very prominent members   of the American Jewish community.
• For example, take the presence   of Jews in the Committee for the Free World (CFW); the CFW,   ostensibly a "Christian" organization, was (is) saturated with   Jewish members. 
• Indeed, its first executive director was an   American Jew, Midge Decter. Decter is married to Norman   Podhoretz, the "guiding light" behind the conservative Jewish   magazine, Commentary.
• The CFW began with funding from   individuals and ultra-conservative foundations, all deeply   associated with the promotion of "Christian worldviews:
• " the   Scaife Foundation, the John M. Olin Foundation, the Coors Foundation   and the Smith Richardson Foundation.
• [Please see our article,   "Richard Mellon Scaife:   The Evil that Money Can Do;"   please also see "The Rutherford   Institute and R.J. Rushdoony."]
• The CFW's leading members are: Michael Ledeen who was   involved with Col. Oliver North in the Iran-Contra affair.   Ledeen became an editor at the Center for Strategic and International   Studies in the late 1970s.
• He later joined the Reagan administration   where he served as an adviser to North on the National Security   Council and was on the planning group that led to the creation   of the State Department's Office of Public Diplomacy.
• Then there   is Richard Perle who has been associated with the infamous   Committee on the Present Danger (CPD). Perle went on to join   the Reagan administration as Asst Sec of Defense for Intl Security   Policy.
• There is also Richard V. Allen who was a National   Security Adviser to President Reagan.
• Another important figure   is Richard Pipes, also a member of the CPD. He too served   on the National Security Council during the Reagan administration.
• There's also Elliott Abrams, the son-in-law of Midge   Decter; he was deeply implicated in all aspects of the Iran-Contra   Affair and was also DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN DEATH SQUAD ACTIVITY   IN CENTRAL AMERICA IN THE 1980s.
• Finally, there are the   following: Roy Godson who served as the U.S. representative   to the Intl Youth Year conference, an event funded by the National   Endowment for Democracy;
• Lewis Tambs who was a member   of the ultra-right World Anti-Communist League (a Moonie "front"   operation), he served as ambassador to Costa Rica until 1986;
• William Simon who was Secretary of the Treasury under   President Richard Nixon;
• Ray Cline who was a deputy director   of the CIA from 1964 through 1967;
• and Jeane Kirkpatrick   who served as the U.S. permanent representative to the United   Nations during the Reagan administration.
• [Please see our article,   "The Neo-Conservatives."]
• Of these thirteen members, eight were American Jews, which   gives some idea of their pervasive presence in the right-wing   matrix.

• From left to right starting at top:
    Eliot Abrams (J), Daniel Pipes (J), Richard Allen (C),   Richard Perle (J), Lewis Tambs (C), Oliver North (C),   Norman Podhoretz (J), Michael Ledeen (J), Midge Deckter   (J), the late Jeane Kirkpatrick (C), Roy Godson (C),   William Simon (J), Ray Cline (C)

     
• Very obviously, and very SADLY - and we mean   this with all our heart - the CFW was saturated with conservative   Jews, the presence of whom could not help but add to the growing   "INFAMY" in the so-called "Third World" not only of Israeli   Jews, but American Jews as well.
• After all, only a blind man   could miss their overwhelming presence in those American institutions   that were most responsible for the misery of the poor throughout   the length and breath of the American New World Order System.
• A PRECURSOR TO ISRAEL'S
    "AGREEMENT WITH HELL"
• ALL THIS - OF COURSE - MUST BE VIEWED AS A PRECURSOR TO   ISRAEL'S PEOPHESIED DEFENSE PACT WITH "BABYLON THE GREAT" (i.e.,   the United States):

• "Wherefore, hear the word of the Lord, ye ... men that   rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

   

  "Because ye have said, We have made a COVENANT WITH   DEATH, AND WITH HELL (Prophetic Babylon) are we at agreement;   when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall   not come unto us ...

   

  "(But) ... your COVENANT WITH DEATH shall be   disannulled, and your AGREEMENT WITH HELL shall not   stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then   ye shall be trodden down by it." (Isaiah 28:14-15, 18)
• [Please see Part 6 of Chapter XV of the New Antipas   Papers, "Israel's   Agreement with Hell."] 
• PRACTICING PHOENIX IN IRAQ
• Getting back to the death squads with which all these groups   were involved, investigative journalist David Cole writes that   Lt. Col. David Kilcullen, the top counterinsurgency adviser   to Gen. David Petraeus in Iraq, was reported to have said that   the U.S. has been "practicing in Iraq the Phoenix Program it   developed in Vietnam."
• He was alluding to the notorious Vietnam-era   CIA operation that provoked a worldwide uproar because of the   detention, torture and execution of thousands of Vietnamese.

• From left to right: high-ranking   civilian members of Phoenix (one of whom is David Morales   - implicated in the JFK assassination). Phoenix members   questioning a prisoner hanging upside down; afterwards,   such prisoners were usually killed. Phoenix military   member directing operations.

         
• Phoenix was a totally illegal program   that violated the rules of war. It cost millions of   dollars. The estimate of those killed as a result of   the Phoenix Program is about 76,000.
• The mainstream media never reported on Kilcullen's statement,   perhaps because Kilcullen's  explosive terminology has been   scrubbed clean from all army statements since he first made   mention of "Phoenix in Iraq."
• NOTE: Cole says that Phoenix was first referred   to in connection with Iraq in a forty-eight-page strategy   paper, "Countering Global Insurgency" published   in the obscure Small Wars Journal of September-November   2004.
• In his 2004 article, Kilcullen describes the Vietnam   Phoenix program as "unfairly maligned" and "highly   effective."
• Dismissing CIA sponsorship and torture   allegations as "popular mythology," Kilcullen   calls Phoenix a misunderstood "civilian aid and development   program" that was supported by "pacification"   operations to disrupt the Vietcong, whose infrastructure   ruled vast swaths of rural South Vietnam.
• Cole reports, however, that Phoenix was far from an "aid   and development" program.
• To achieve deniability, the   CIA trained and transferred operational authority to the   South Vietnamese national police, who tortured suspects   indiscriminately.
• CIA officer William Colby, founder of   the program, told a Congressional committee in 1971 that   the Phoenix operation had killed 20,587 Vietcong suspects   in two year (most historians put the figure at around 76,000).
• An official Pentagon evaluation in 1968 found that "the   truncheon and electric shock method of interrogation was   in widespread use, with almost all [US] advisors admitting   to have witnessed instances of the use of these methods   ...
• A Naval Institute   historian later found that "the large majority of South   Vietnamese interrogators tortured some or all of the communist   prisoners in their care" as well as Vietnamese suspected   of collaboration with the Vietcong.
• Cole states that evidence continues to mount that the same   kind of torture that was practiced in Vietnam is now being   practiced in Iraq.
• One of Petraeus's top associates, Col.   Theodore Westhusing, committed suicide in June 2005, leaving   a note saying, "I cannot support a mission that leads   to corruption, human rights abuses and liars."
• The Jones   Commission reported to Congress last year that the Iraqi national   police are "highly sectarian," almost entirely Shi'a,   and should be disbanded.
• The New York Times has reported   that there are as many as ten secret prisons under the Interior   Ministry in Baghdad.
•    

  Westhusing - who committed   suicide after leaving a note saying that he had been   corrupted by his activities.
• The Los Angeles Times has described   the same ministry, funded and advised by Americans, as responsible   for torture and ethnic cleansing.
• A BBC reporter in 2006 showed   footage of tortured civilians and said "it's all happening   under the eyes of US commanders who seem unwilling or unable   to intervene."
• In a July 2007 report to Congress, even   the Bush Administration acknowledged that "target lists,"   emanating from the highest levels of the Iraqi regime, contain   the names of Iraqis that are suspected of sympathizing with   the insurgency.
• THE JOINT SERVICES SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND
• Kilcullen went on to advocate the use of a "Global Phoenix   Program" by the United States, not only in Iraq but throughout   the world; A "global Phoenix program," he wrote, would   provide a starting point for dismantling the worldwide jihadist   infrastructure today.
• IT IS, OF COURSE, PRECISELY FOR THIS PURPOSE THAT CHENEY'S   "JOINT SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND" WAS ORGANIZED.

• Cole went on to say that the U.S. has been using some of this   country's "best and brightest" in this effort.

               

  The "best and the brightest"   - students flocking to join the CIA; not only men, but   women as well. [The picture here is of Wellesley]
• He says that the history of university-based counterinsurgency   operatives stretches back to a Michigan State University Vietnam   project in the 1960s, which involved covert CIA officers training   and arming South Vietnamese police.
• Stanley Sheinbaum, for decades   a respected progressive leader and fundraiser, coordinated the   MSU project and later, in disgust, broke the story to Ramparts   Magazine (April 1966). 
• And so it is that nearly fifty   years later, Gen. Petraeus is still recruiting academic anthropologists   and systems theorists.
• Among them are professors at Harvard's   Carr Center, which formally collaborated with him in writing   the current Army and Marines' war-fighting manuals.
• According   to a 2005 New Yorker report, American psychologists and   psychiatrists are enlisted in Behavioral Science Consultation   Teams to design strategies to "exploit the physical and   mental vulnerabilities of detainees."
• Anthropologists are   recruited to study tribal cultural patterns in what Kilcullen   calls "armed social science." All this kind   of takes the "glow" off Petraeus.
• THE CONTINUING CHRISTIAN IMPRINT ON
    THE JOINT SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND

• The great Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn once wrote:

   

   

  "To do evil a human being must first of all believe   that what he's doing is good ... instead of bad in his own   and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses   but will receive praise and honors."
• It's perhaps for this reason that one finds the imprint of   "Christians" stamped so deeply into the fabric of Cheney's Joint   Special Operations Command.
• Take, for example, the ubiquitous   presence of "Christians" in "Task Force 121," the Joint Special   Operations Command's "action arm" in Iraq. 
• Journalist Seymour   Hersh (New Yorker, Dec. 15) reports that -
• "Task Force 121 is a rapid-deployment assassination unit   built out of elite Special Operations forces from the Army,   Navy and Air Force. The death squads have CIA officers officially   'attached', and come with a large accompanying 'conventional   force' to seal off areas while the killing goes down.
• The unit is patterned   on the notorious 'Operation Phoenix' where CIA death squads   murdered and tortured tens of thousands of people to 'neutralize   the infrastructure' of South Vietnam's National Liberation   Front."
• Operations   are already reported in Iraq and Syria.
• NOTE: It's interesting to note here that Hersh   also confirmed the presence of Israelis in "Task Force 121"   - indicating the continuing toady-like relationship that Israel   has with the United States;

• Hersh reported:

   

   

  "According to American and Israeli military and   intelligence officials, Israeli commandos and intelligence   units have been working closely with their American counterparts.
• Moreover, Israeli commandos are expected to serve alongside   the Americans when full-field operations begin.
• The U.S.   high command denies Israeli involvement and an Israeli   official told Hersh: 'Both governments have decided at   the highest level that it is in their interest to keep   a low profile on U.S.-Israeli cooperation'."
• GOD'S WAR WARRIOR: LT. GEN. WILLIAM BOYKIN
• Richard Cooper of the Los Angeles Times reports on the   "Christian mindset" of the Joint Special Operations Command; he   points out that it is plainly visible in its commander, Lt. Gen.   William Boykin.
• Boykin is a much-decorated and twice-wounded   veteran of covert military operations. From the bloody 1993   clash with Muslim warlords in Somalia chronicled in "Black   Hawk Down" and the hunt for Colombian drug czar Pablo Escobar   to the ill-fated attempt to rescue American hostages in Iran   in 1980, Boykin has been in the thick of things.
• Boykin, a member of the super-secret "Delta Force" (a group   that the intelligence agencies refuse to acknowledge one way   or another) is an outspoken evangelical Christian who appeared   in dress uniform and polished jump boots before a religious   group in Oregon two years ago in June to declare that radical   Islamists hated the United States -
• "... because we're a Christian nation, because our foundation   and our roots are Judeo-Christian ... and the enemy is a guy   named Satan."

• Discussing the battle against a Muslim warlord in Somalia,   Boykin told another audience,

   

   

  "I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God   was a real God and his was an idol."

   

   

  He went on to say:

   

   

  "We in the army of God, in the house of God, kingdom   of God have been raised for such a time as this," Boykin   said last year.
• [Now you must   understand something here; no doubt Boykin is a Christian,   and no doubt he is sincere; but how does one square   the kind of thinking and life-style that he has engaged   in with God's command in Luke 6:27-29 "But I say unto   you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which   hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them   which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth   thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and   him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take   thy coat also." It is, of course, IMPOSSIBLE!
• THE "CHRISTIAN" ROOTS OF AMERICA'S
    INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
• Boykin's   mentor in the intelligence community was Colonel Joseph A. McChristian,   a "holy figure" in the annals of American intelligence.
• Like   Boykin, McChristian was a TRUE BELIEVER.
• As special assistant to the Joint U.S. Military Advisory Group   in Greece from 1949 to 1950 (which coincided with the end of   the Greek Civil War), he had seen that Protestant Bibles were   distributed to every Greek soldier fighting the communists.
• McChristian understood the value of religion in America's war   against communism.
• McChristian believed that if soldiers could   be made to think that they were "fighting for God,"   they would be that much more imbued with a "fighting spirit,"   and that much more confident in what they were doing when called   upon to engage in the dirtier, more sordid side of counterinsurgency   activity.
• After all, not everyone is a sadist and a pathological   killer, especially insofar as conscript armies are concerned.
• It's difficult to kill, and if the killers can be convinced   that what they are doing is "KILLING DEMONS"   in the name of God rather than killing innocent human beings,   it makes the job that much easier. It eases the conscience when   one is alone at night.
• McChristian introduced this kind of thinking wherever he went.   He believed in it!
• o McChristian, spreading the Gospel was synonymous with spreading   the American "free enterprise" system and expanding   the financial interests of people like the Rockefellers, the Milbanks,   the Swifts and the Morgans.
• It's no accident or flight of fancy,   therefore, when peasants - in describing the activities of death   squads throughout Latin America - inevitably tell stories of death   squad members praising God, singing hymns, and "speaking   in tongues" as they go about their gruesome business of butchering   people.
• This is what McChristian and people like him believe!   - and this is precisely what makes it possible for death squad   members to also be "members in good standing" in countless   numbers of Protestant evangelical groups throughout Latin America.
• This is why - in following Oliver North and members of his entourage   around the Contra-training camps in the 1980s - one reporter could   describe it as if he had been following a traveling revival.
• LIMONOCHA
• When, in April 1962, McChristian arrived at Limonocha, Ecuador   (the base camp for the Wycliffe Bible Translators), to fight   the demons that were arrayed against the American imperial system,   he arrived with the silver leaf of an American Green Beret Lieutenant   Colonel.
• Actually, that was just a cover; he was in fact a major-general   working in army intelligence as chief of the Western Hemisphere   Division.
• His counterpart in the CIA was Colonel J.C. King who   was intimately associated with the Wycliffe Bible Translators.
• King had gotten Wycliffe heavily involved in the overthrow of   the Arbenz government in Guatemala, which - like Goulert's government   in Brazil - had threatened to nationalize various American business   enterprises there in the early 1950s,
• and which had cost the   lives of thousands and thousands of peasants, many of whom had   been converted to Protestant Christianity through the efforts   of Wycliffe.
• It seems that in instance after   instance when "push came to shove" and the interests   of the Gospel clashed with the interests of Wycliffe's business   backers, the business backers won out.
• [Please see our article on "The   American Empire."]

•  LIMONOCHA

   

  WYCLIFFE BIBLE TRANSLATOR'S (SIL)   BASE
    CAMP IN ECUADOR USED BY THE CIA

               
• McChristian was only forty-seven years old when he made Wycliffe's   Limonocha jungle base the unofficial headquarters for his counterinsurgency   activities in the Amazon basin; but there was no mistaking his   mastery of the techniques of counterinsurgency.
• Moreover, he   was well connected to conservative networks, being the son-in-law   of General A. Van Fleet, who had recently violated military   law by publicly challenging President Kennedy's handling of   the Bay of Pigs.
• Van Fleet was then a top counterinsurgency   consultant to Kennedy's army secretary on guerrilla warfare   -
• and there are many who believe that Van Fleet was involved   in some way in the Kennedy assassination.
• BENDING THE RULES FOR CHRIST
• So convinced of his own righteousness and the righteousness of   the cause he served, and so sure that in battling for the "American   free enterprise" system in Latin America, he was helping   to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
• McChristian was not above   helping things along for the "Lord's side" by bending   the rules a little in its advancement.
• For example, when the government   of President Carlos Julio Arosemena of Ecuador began making moves   which McChristian believed would lead Arosemena down the same   road Goulert had taken in Brazil and Arbenz had taken in Guatemala,   he swung CIA assets in the country against Arosemena and provoked   a rebellion at the CIA advised Cuenca garrison.
• When, in answer   to this rebellion, a group of young intellectuals in Quito associated   with the University of Ecuador began training to defend Arosemena,   McChristian sought to link the students to the local Communist   Party.
• He turned Quito upside down looking for evidence, and finding   none, he doctored interrogation reports to the Ecuadorian military   that falsely linked the students to the Communist Party.
• Most   of the students were shot, and Arosemena was so frightened by   what had happened that he quickly caved.
• In doing so, Arosemena   gave into a CIA demand that he launch a "civic action program"   (utilizing death squads) - the first of its kind in America   - which combined $1.5 million in U.S. military assistance with   another $500,000 in AID funds for public works projects.
• McChristian   took this concept to Vietnam later in the decade and turned   it into the Phoenix Program.
• In 1969, Phoenix was re-introduced   into Latin America as a fully developed counterinsurgency program   - AND THIS IS PRECISELY THE LINK BETWEEN THE DEATH SQUADS   IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE EVANGELICAL "CHRISTIAN" COMMUNITY!!
• A STAGGERING THOUGHT
• THINK ABOUT IT!! THE THOUGHT IS STAGGERING! THE CONCEPT   OF THE DEATH SQUAD WAS DEVELOPED BY A MAN WHO OPENLY PROFESSED   CHRISTIANITY THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE AND WAS CLOSELY LINKED TO THE   WYCLIFFE BIBLE TRANSLATORS.
• And people call this Christianity?   God help all of us, for if this is so, we have all surely lost   our way.
• The Wycliffe Bible Translators, however, thought otherwise.   Wycliffe's Donald Johnson said that McChristian was "...   one of the most impressive officers that I have ever met. If   all of our top commanders and diplomats were of his caliber,   we could be proud and there would not be any 'ugly Americans'."
• McChristian's approach to counterinsurgency utilizing Wycliffe   was enthusiastically embraced by everyone at Wycliffe.
• Wycliffe's   Jerry Elder even sent Cam Townsend, the head of Wycliffe, a   clipping from Lima's La Prensa that reported on a conference   between Ecuadorian and Peruvian army commanders on the border.

• Writing from Limonocha, Elder wrote:

   

   

  "The high point was the fact that they should unite   to fight the common enemy, Communism ... I think this is particularly   significant in light of the fact that one of the reasons that   Commander Melger (CIA) went out there was to give a report   to the military on the possibility of our (i.e., Wycliffe)   doing espionage along the border."
• THE IMPLICATIONS HERE ARE CLEAR ...
• The intimate, the long-lasting involvement of people like Boykin,   McChristian and innumerable Christian missionaries in America's   BLOODY effort to expand the limits of the American New   World Order System stinks to high heaven.
• indicates the casual nature   of America's resort to political assassination and murder to   silence its opponents outside the borders of the United States
• - AND FOR AMERICANS TO BELIEVE THAT THIS WICKED PROCLIVITY   TOWARDS ASSASSINATION DOES NOT EXTEND TO AMERICANS THEMSELVES   IS NAÏVE IN THE EXTREME.
• [Please see our articles, "MK-Ultra   and the Search for the Manchurian Candidate," "Conspiracy   Theories" and "The   Utility of Police Brutality in the Elite's War against the Poor."]
• Moreover, the list of "in-house" Americans who have been "killed   off" by the agents of America's "government within a government"   is not confined simply to these well-known cases.
• It extends well   beyond them to men and women of much less prominence who died   under very murky circumstances (alleged suicides, quick acting   cancers, mysterious plane crashes, automobile accidents, etc.)   - all people who opposed elite power in one way or another.

• David Ferrie - Killed to silence him with regard to the   JFK assassination.
• Rose Cheramie - Killed to silence her with regard to the   JFK assassination.
• Mary Meyer - Killed to silence her with regard to the JFK   assassination.
• Frank Olson - Killed to silence him with regard to MK-Ultra.
• Walter Reuther - Killed because he had become too powerful   as a union organizer.
• THE HORROR OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY - THE MURDERS,   THE "DISAPPEARANCES," THE IMPRISONMENTS, ETC.  THAT NO ONE WANTS   TO ADMIT EXIST, AND THE GREATER HORROR OF ADMITTING TO THE PARTICIPATION   OF CHRISTIANS IN ALL OF THIS - IS BREATHTAKING.
• IT'S   FOR THIS REASON THAT WE DARE NOT LOOK IN A MIRROR, BECAUSE THE   MONSTER WE SEE LOOKING BACK AT US IS OURSELVES.
• In defense (so to speak) of those Christians who have involved   themselves in these crimes, it must be admitted that the COMPULSION   that propels these men to their evil deeds is exceedingly forceful.   It has to be!

• Again, it isn't without reason that Solzhenitsyn   wrote:

   

   

  "To do evil a human being must first of all believe   that what he's doing is good ... instead of bad in his own   and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses   but will receive praise and honors."
• It, therefore, has to be concluded that the DECEPTION   that is driving this COMPULSION and that has made these   men and women mad (crazy) is a powerful one - AND THAT IS   EXACTLY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
• SO YOU THINK YOU CANNOT BE DECEIVED?
    MAYBE EVERYONE ELSE CAN, BUT NOT YOU!
• Jesus said that in the "Last Days" a great deception will take   hold of Christendom; specifically, he said:

• "There shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and   shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it   were possible, they shall DECEIVE the very   elect.

   

  "Behold, I have told you before." (Matthew 24:23-25)

   

   

  NOTE: The words, "if it were possible"   are not in the original Greek.
• In other words, there shall arise in the "end of days" many   "false Christs" and "false prophets" all claiming to speak for   Christ insofar as the Kingdom of God is concerned. "Follow me,"   they will say, "and together we will set up the Kingdom of God   on earth."
• That's what "Dominionism" is all about.
• That, of course, is exactly the message of today's American   Church.
• [Please see   our articles, "The God-Men of the   American New World Order System" and "Luciferic   Christianity;" please also see "The   Superman Theology behind the International Feast of Tabernacles."]
• Naturally enough, you say that you know better. That you can   resist the COMPULSION that is driving these men and women.   But, oh, I tell you, you have no idea how POWERFUL that   COMPULSION is! How demanding; how insistent and unrelenting!
• The fact is, it is so seductive and compelling that Jesus warned   us not to allow ourselves to be subjected its SIREN call.   He warned us to get away from it!

• Specifically, He said:

   

   

  "Come out of her [i.e., Babylon], my people, that ye be not   partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."   (Revelation 18:4) [Please see our article, "The   Kingdom of God Is at Hand."]
• THAT'S GOD'S ANSWER insofar as this seduction is concerned!   - Still, very few people take God's command seriously - EVEN   MANY WHO HAVE FOR YEARS BEEN A PART OF THIS MINISTRY.
•   [Please see our book, WHAT   TO DO AS THE END APPROACHES.]
• AN EXCUSE FOR INACTION
• hence to do nothing   is "spiritual" (Christians call it "trusting   in the Lord"), and "to act" betrays a "rashness"   that is not only carnal, but "ungodly" and "untrusting."
• YES! - WE LIVE IN AN "IN-BETWEEN TIME"
• Yes, we are living in an "In-Between" time - a time that God   IN HIS GREAT MERCY has bequeathed to us. I am afraid,   however, that most people - people who should know better -   are not taking advantage of this gift from God, and have instead   fearfully drawn back from the choices before them.
