EDUCATING FOR THE ANTICHRIST (One World System)

EDUCATING FOR THE ANTICHRIST (One World System)

A parent of six children who is governor of a local school sent me the following observations on what is going on in our schools.

'I requested to see the sex education videos which my daughter of 11 would be required to watch along with the rest of the year, including both boys and girls. After both my husband and I had watched these we decided they were far too explicit for an innocent child to watch. Scenes included detailed drawings of the female and male sexual parts, how to masturbate, a cartoon naked couple having intercourse, with a detailed drawing of what exactly went on, and what was happening inside their bodies. It then went on to explain about contraception and abortion. It did not mention marriage at all, but emphasised that the whole thing was fun to do and made you feel good, nothing about restraint, only about protecting yourself from Aids.

Our 14 year old son came back from school and said they had been learning about Buddhism in R.E. and that part of his homework was to meditate on his own for 10 minutes each day. I asked him what he had to meditate on and he said just on nice things and himself. ... Children are also being asked to make up their own ten commandments. During PSE lessons they are told to put themselves at the centre of everything, God of course is never mentioned. I am having to deprogramme my children. I praise God that they make me aware of what things they are actually being taught otherwise I would not know, because children are told not to discuss these lessons with their parents. Other parents I have alerted have been telling me the same sort of things.'

Another of my Christian friends told me of an incident where her son of 9 years old went away on a school trip for 4 days to an outdoor activity centre. She assumed that they would be into abseiling, water sports, etc. When he came back he told her that the first thing they did was to visit a 'witches tree.' Her son wrote in his diary, 'We formed a circle around it to keep away evil spirits, then we went up to it and felt it. It felt rough in some places and smooth in others. Then we tasted it, it tasted like dirt. We could also hear it breathing.' '

Another of our readers has a daughter who is studying A Level Performing Arts. She had previously been doing well and was expected to get a good grade, but then apparently began to lose interest. At a parent's evening my correspondent was told that her daughter was now lazy and could only expect an E grade. The reason for this change turned out to be that the girl was so offended by the material she was supposed to be studying that she had been unable to partake in it. As this was a video, the mother then watched it herself. She described her horror at seeing a blasphemous, sexually depraved presentation involving a bare breasted woman hanging on a cross, weird demonic music and dance, and a couple having sex in a dingy room.

A leaflet from a Christian group described a lesson in which 'The teacher led the children through a guided meditation. One of the children saw his dead grandmother.'

A teacher from Liverpool sent me material that had been circulated in his school from the 'One World Trust.' Amongst the things on offer were material showing 'the emergence of a completely new kind of world civilisation, based on dramatic scientific advances and ideas of human rights; the beginning of a world community attempting to deal with its problems through the application of reason.' Also a study 'which illustrates the ways in which the protection of civil liberties requires a global authority capable of enforcing civilised behaviour on national governments.'

An investigation by a Daily Telegraph reporter (12/12/97) described schools which are 'very happy to celebrate the Hindu festival of Diwali, but feel very sensitive about celebrating Christmas in a whole hearted way. They're afraid that if they give it too much prominence, they may be thought to be promoting Christianity, to be saying 'This is our culture!' and in the process leaving somebody out.' Asked about this the headmistress said 'British culture is only equally important with other cultures. What we're doing here is to create citizens of the world. All cultures have to be equal.'

'The Fight for the Family - the adults behind children's rights' is a book by Lynette Burrows showing how a group of liberal / left activists have been campaigning since the 70's to promote children's rights and remove from parents the right to discipline their children and pass on their values. Specific issues they have campaigned on include the abolition of corporal punishment in schools, an ongoing campaign for legislation to forbid the use of any form of physical discipline in any setting, including the family, and the lowering of the age of consent for hetero- and homo- sexual activity.

While they have used high sounding UN Declaration on the Rights of the Child to justify their activities, their aim is shown to be the destruction of the family. The book quotes the 'Labour Gay Rights Manifesto':

'Children grow up under the power of their parents. As children, any behaviour which is obviously sexual in adult terms is repressed. A socialist society would supersede the family household. Gay people and children should have the right to live together. Children and young people should have the right to determine their own sexual lives. Marriage should be disestablished. Women need access to free contraception and abortion facilities; this applies just as much to young women as to 'adults.' Children should be able to divorce their parents. It follows from what we have already said that we favour the abolition of the age of consent.'

The book describes the case of a Sussex mother who smacked her son with a wooden spoon because he bullied her baby and spat in her face when reprimanded. As a result of chastising the boy, both her children were placed on the 'at risk' register by her local social services department. The mother re-mortgaged her home and took her case to court in order to have the threat to her children and the slur on her family lifted. She lost the case although the judge said there was no question of child abuse in her case and she was obviously a good mother.

Material sent me from America shows how this process is much further down the line:

'12 year old David didn't like his Christian parents' discipline. He didn't like having to go to church; he didn't like having to do household chores. He didn't like being told that he couldn't listen to rock music or wear T-shirts depicting satanic symbolism. He didn't like being told that he's too young to date. So David told his school counsellor that his parents were abusing him. His counsellor contacted Child Protection Services and requested intervention. Now David is in a foster care home with a single 32 year old man. His parents are being counselled by a state-approved psychologist to deal with their 'anger and intolerance.' If they pass the test and allow David to have his way, David will be allowed home.' ('Education Reform for the New World Order' by Albert Dager).

In his article Dager goes on to say how a global educational system is emerging which is no longer aiming solely at imparting factual information and encouraging intellectual achievement, but at creating the new values. One way of enforcing these values is through group discussion and role play in which any pupil dissenting from the values the system is seeking to impose on them is made to feel stupid and left out. Some of the specific values being imposed are:

The rejection of any idea of Christian civilisation and its replacement with a multi-cultural, multi-faith mish-mash. Any idea that God is the Creator of the universe as described in Genesis, that Jesus is the one Saviour and Lord, that there is an eternal judgement to come is absolute anathema. On the other hand occult, New Age forces, even witchcraft are quite acceptable.

The rejection of any kind of biblical moral values and its replacement with situation ethics, which says in effect, 'If it feels right, do it, but do your best to avoid any unwanted results, like getting AIDS, becoming pregnant or addicted to drugs.' In the current climate young people are being made to feel that there is something wrong with them if they are not in a sexual relationship.

The assault on the positive achievements of nations like our own in the past and the promotion of a one world viewpoint. As a result many children, especially British children, have little or no sense of cultural or historical legitimacy.

The removal of legitimate sanctions for anti-social behaviour, creating a breakdown in order. The introduction of new laws aimed at undermining the family as a unit.
Put all this together and you have a recipe for brainwashing young people with a new set of values and making them subservient to the emerging New World Order. Once young people are alienated from family, country and faith, they are open to the gods of the New Age, which will in fact bring in the coming antichrist system. The advocates of this system paint it in rosy terms:

'We need a world education. Global education, namely the education of the children into our global home and into the human family. ... Global education must prepare our children for the coming of an inter-dependent, safe, prosperous, friendly, loving, happy planetary age as has been heralded by all the great prophets.' Robert Muller, former UN assistant Secretary General.

In fact it is going to be the opposite of what Muller dreams of, as the moral, spiritual and political chaos being generated by the breakdown of values in our society makes way for a ruthless political dictatorship in which all dissent is crushed and only those who give their allegiance to its leader will have any social rights at all (see Revelation 13). The real radicals are those who reject the programme of the new establishment and follow Jesus, no matter what it costs, knowing that we are the ones who will really see the time of peace and love on the earth - after His second coming.

What the Lord said of ancient Israel applies to us today: 'My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns - broken cisterns that can hold no water.' Jeremiah 2.13.

Babies aborted for not being perfect

Babies aborted for not being perfect

The ethical storm over abortions has been renewed as it emerged that terminations are being carried out for minor, treatable birth defects.

Late terminations have been performed in recent years because the babies had club feet, official figures show.

Other babies were destroyed because they had webbed fingers or extra digits.

Such defects can often be corrected with a simple operation or physiotherapy.

The revelation sparked fears that abortion is increasingly being used to satisfy couples' desire for the 'perfect' baby.

A leading doctor said people were right to be 'totally shocked' that abortions were being carried out for such conditions.

Campaigners warned we are turning into a society that can no longer tolerate imperfection. Doctors were recently told they can now screen IVF embryos to try to weed out inherited cancers.

Ethical groups fear parents are opting for abortions because they are not told of the support and help available if they continued with the pregnancy.

Details of the terminations emerged as new figures revealed an alarming rise in the use of an abortion pill that has been linked to 10 deaths.

Figures from the Office for National Statistics show that between 1996 and 2004, 20 babies were aborted after 20 weeks because they had a club foot.

It is one of the most common birth defects in Britain, affecting one in 1,000 babies each year. That means around 600 to 700 babies are born annually in the UK with the problem, which causes the feet to point downwards and in severe cases can cause a limp.

However it can be corrected without surgery using splints, plaster casts and boots. Naomi Davis, a leading paediatrician at Manchester Children's Hospital who specialists in correcting club feet, said: 'I think it is reasonable to be totally shocked that abortion is being offered for this.

'It is entirely treatable. I can only think it is lack of information.'

Figures also show that four babies were aborted since 1996 because they were found to have webbed fingers or extra digits, which can be sorted out with simply surgery.

Remarkable pictures recently have revealed how at just 23 weeks baby in the womb appears to smile, yawn and flinch in pain.

In 2004 it emerged a baby was aborted at 28 weeks after scans showed it had a cleft palate. Curate Joanna Jepson tried to ensure criminal charges were brought against the two doctors involved but the authorities last year decided against prosecution.

She however vowed to continue in her fight to make terminations illegal after 24 weeks and to ensure cleft palates were not included within the term 'serious handicap' and used to justify late abortions.

Ms Jepson reacted angrily to news of the club foot abortions.

'The law was not designed for this,' she said. 'Actions like these are fostering a disposable attitude to human life and I'm extremely concerned it is going on.

'I am appalled that the medical profession is allowing or even suggesting abortions for these conditions.'

Sue Banton, founder of the group Steps for parents of children with foot disorders, said last year one couple decided to terminate a pregnancy at 25 weeks after discovering their baby would have a section of foot missing.

'We gave them other families to talk to, but they just didn't want to know,' she said. 'It is terrible.

'I know lots of perfectly nice people with this condition and you just can't imagine them not being here.'

Pippa Spriggs from Cambridge, whose son Isaac is celebrating his second birthday in July, was dismayed when as scan showed her baby had a club foot.

'Abortion certainly was not openly advised but it was made clear to me it was available,' she said.

'In fact he has been treated and the condition has now slowed him down at all.'

Julia Millington, of the Alive and Kicking Campaign, said: 'It is all about our perceptions of perfection.

'Increasingly things are moving along the lines where nothing is good enough.

'It seems we can no longer tolerate any imperfection.

'Babies are at the mercy of ultrasound scans and what they may disclose.'

Michaela Aston, from the pro-life group LIFE, said: 'One sympathises for many of the parents of these unborn children aborted after disability has been detected.

'What information are they being given by healthcare professionals so that they can make a truly informed choice?

'We suspect that many parents make the decision to opt for abortion in complete ignorance of the help and support available to children with disabilities and their families.

'For this, health care professionals must shoulder a large part of the blame.

'If, as a society, we are truly committed to equality for people with disabilities then such blatant discrimination against the disabled unborn must stop.'

But Jane Fisher of the charity Antenatal Results and Choices defended the right of parents to terminate pregnancies when defects are found. 'This is not part of a move towards designer babies,' she said.

'These are difficult and painful issues.'

BRAINWASHING THE CHILDREN: A GLOBAL EFFORT

BRAINWASHING THE CHILDREN: A GLOBAL EFFORT
PART 1
By Jill Cohen Walker, J.D.

May 30, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

I recently received an e-mail in response to my “Educating Emma . . .” column with a link to a blog that didn’t mince words about the overt brainwashing of school children. I thought I was reading about American schools until I realized it was taking place in the UK. [“Educating for the AntiChrist,”] drove home the glaring reality of what Jack and I had prophetically written in our 2003 novel, The Call to Prayer.

A friend who read our book called me after reading a particular chapter and said she refused to read the rest of the book. When I asked her why, she said she was too angry after reading the chapter about school children. I told her that her anger was most appropriate. Were she to harness it properly, she could do much to protect the millions of children in government schools. At that point, she broke down in tears.

Well, it’s time to stop crying and start demanding protection for the children. Depravity, that sick and twisted demon that operates with its sidekicks, Lust, Decadence, and Vice, started operating in the People’s Republic of California decades ago and the results are rapidly flowing across the nation, while tyrannical judges who sit on our highest courts import the worst offerings from foreign lands. Take a gander at what’s being done to the children in the UK—abuse of their bodies and a siege on their minds and souls—and you’ll almost hear the words, “Jesus wept.”

The mother of six children (also a governor of a local school) viewed the sex education videos her 11-year-old daughter had to watch with the boys and girls in her class and said they were “far too explicit for an innocent child to watch.” She was right. The video sported “detailed drawings of the female and male sexual parts; instructions on how to masturbate; a cartoon of a naked couple having intercourse (with detailed drawings of what exactly took place and what was happening inside their bodies); and explanations about contraception and abortion.”

What the videos didn’t mention was marriage (soon to be forbidden by globalists), and sex was described as an activity that would “make you feel good.” Restraint and abstinence weren’t mentioned, only propaganda about safe sex and “protecting yourself from AIDS.”

It’s no secret that the New World Order crowd has used the government schools for decades to brainwash our children into believing they are world citizens, that patriotism is dead, national borders are irrelevant, pre-marital sex is fine and dandy, abortion is okay, etc., etc., always flowing into the deep and dreadful chasm of immorality.

Now, those schools have become sex factories that promote all forms of sex—the more perverted, the better. Sex is no longer sacred, it’s akin to swimming, playing basketball, or riding a bicycle. It’s just something to do that brings pleasure; and the elites have decided that children are, per Dr. Kinsey and his ilk, quite sexual. Even those involved in modern psychiatry and psychology are finding ways to propagandize for pederasty. Within a decade it will be shoved down the throats of “mainstream America” as the newest fad and the best thing since sliced bread.

The big question is: Why do they degrade sex and sexuality, which God considers sacred, to such despicable levels? Why do they want to sexualize His children? Why has the UN gotten involved in “the rights of the children,” and why did Hillary Clinton demand (during a UN convention on children’s rights circa 1993) that little girls as young as ten be allowed to engage in prostitution? Why is sex, which can be addicting and deadly through promiscuity and perversion, acceptable to them, but guns are dangerous, and smoking, drinking, and drug use (also tools of evil) are hideous addictions and health risks that must be stopped?

I understand why they want the guns. That’s a no-brainer, but you’d think they’d want us addicted to tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. Unless, of course, their desire to control us is being played out on the “we’ll tell you which ‘fun’ you can have” stage. It’s also possible that each group gets to pick its own issues and the environmentalists won regarding that last three.

Personally, I think the answers lie in the immoral natures of those who want a revived Babylon. Stemming from the worship of evil, as opposed to God, anything that spits in His face brings joy to those who want to dispose of Him or deny His power altogether. Those who don’t believe He exists certainly won’t obey His rules because they consider them fiction. Those who out-and-out worship evil forces are only too happy to brainwash and corrupt the children, which must include even the basest elements of evil to be successful. And one sure-fire way to do that is to gain total control over child rearing and education, which gives clearer meaning to their “It takes a village” mantra. “Sex sells” was quite fashionable during the days of Nebuchadnezzar . . . and there really isn’t “anything new under the sun.”

This also gives better insight into how they’re accomplishing their goals, starting with the huge influx of Communists into our State Department prior to the founding of the United Nations, or, previous to that, the League of Nations which the socialist (and founder of the CFR) “Colonel” House proposed to Wilson.

That influx was well calculated and included a whole new set of rules that square with the NWO agenda. As one loyal e-mailer shared, “In May 1919, at Dusseldorf, Germany, the allied forces discovered a copy of the Communist Rules for Revolution. The first US printing took place the same year in the Bartlesville (Oklahoma) Examiner-Enterprise.

Almost 20 years later (1946), a member of the Communist Party gave a copy to the Attorney General of Florida. That member stated that the “Rules” were still being implemented in the US. I do believe all of the following rules have been successfully applied and “we the people” let it happen:

1. Corrupt the young; get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness (individuality).

2. Get control of all means of publicity, thereby:

3. Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and immoral movies.

4. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.

5. Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and disgrace.

6. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.

7. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce years of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.

8. Incite unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.

9. Cause breakdown of the old moral values - honesty, sobriety, self-restraint, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.

10. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscate them and leaving the populace helpless.

Look at Rules 1, 3, and 9 (the rest will be discussed later in the series). The destruction of ruggedness seems to be a priority for the Communists because ruggedness and individuality are an anathema that must be stamped out. We hear it all the time from the likes of Ted “can’t swim” Kennedy, Hillary “spirit of Jezebel” Clinton, and Nancy “destroy America” Pelosi. “Groupthink” and “groupspeak” spawns group victims, which are a must. Destroy the individual and destroy his ruggedness and takeover becomes a walk in the park once they get the guns.

This must be why they’ve been feminizing our little boys for 30 or so years. First, breakup the American family and let the boys be raised only by their mothers with little or no male input and watch the fun begin. Blacks were the first people group to suffer from this experiment. The spillover costs to Black families has been enormous, with loss of dignity and dependence on the state the primary losses.

It also explains the CFR choice of the Clintons for White House occupancy for eight long and demoralizing years. Their role was to drag this nation into the same abyss that Ahab and Jezebel succeeded in doing to the ancient Hebrews—moral and sexual squalor.

Further, this not-so-noble plan of moral destruction might explain why our government supported (and still supports) the research of Dr. Alfred Kinsey at a time when morals were far higher. Recall that his work came to light at almost the same time the US signed “we the people” into the United Nations. None of us had a choice regarding membership and things have gone steadily downhill.

To the NWO crowd, Kinsey was a hero. Indeed, he paid many grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters well to molest their grandchildren, children, and/or siblings; and his experiments started with infants. His cause was their cause: to create more than one generation of already-been-tortured sexual perverts, deviants, and predators who just might start preying on your children while taking down the nation’s culture through moral decay and the demise of religion.

Well, not all religions; just Judeo-Christianity because that’s the one that’s “the real thing, baby . . .” Indeed, New World Orderism—or call it communism, liberalism, fascism, totalitarianism, Satanism—is the antithesis of godliness; and if we don’t stop those who want to destroy and/or corrupt the children, two generations will be stolen from us. When they grow up, they will become the most depraved leaders this nation has ever suffered.

Part 2 of this series will be published next week.

WILL IT BE "COFFEE, ANYONE?" AL OR HILLARY DE JA VU?

WILL IT BE "COFFEE, ANYONE?" AL OR HILLARY DE JA VU?

By Jon Christian Ryter

May 31, 2006

NewsWithViews.com

With those scary old names—Clinton, Gore, Hillary, Al—popping up the headlines discussing possible presidential candidates, its time the American people took a stroll down memory lane and dredged up some of the old horror stores about the Clintons and Gore. Hillary—and Al—are both counting on the short memories of the American voter. We need to show them that elephants (even independent elephants) have long, long memories. So, sit down, relax and unwind and let's digress a little. Coffee, anyone?

When Bill William, Queen Hillary and Prince Albert reigned in Washington, they created some of the most unique—although illegal—fund raising schemes to fill their depleted campaign war chest after the 1994 Republican Revolution when the GOP took control of both the House and the Senate.

A few days before Christmas that year, when Hillary and Chelsea were in New York to do some Christmas shopping, political strategist Dick Morris visited Clinton at the White House. Morris reminded Clinton that a month or so before the midterm elections he told the president that the Democrats were in trouble and they should expect some mammoth losses that were going to occur not because of Gingrich's "Contract With America," but because of Clinton himself. On this visit Morris told Clinton that unless he was able to raise more money than had ever been raised in a presidential race, the odds were very good that he would not win reelection. Unwittingly, Dick Morris set into motion and biggest and most illegal campaign finance scam in the history of American politics.

On Christmas Eve, 1994 DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe visited the Clintons at the White House. Clinton told him of a strategy he dreamed up for raising money. He was going to invite big money donors for a "sleep-over" at the White House. He expected his Hollywood friends would each kick in $25 to $50 thousand or more to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom.

After the election, when the fat hit the fire and the skillet was in the hands of a GOP-controlled congressional committee, Clinton told reporters that he wasn't thinking—his mother had just died. Clinton could not understand why the American people were upset that he had "rented out" rooms in the White House to large contributors to his reelection. campaign. In his mind, as the occupant, the White House was his home and as such, he believed, anything he did in the privacy of his home was his business.

For some strange reason King William failed to realize that he was merely the tenant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and that his landlords—the American people—had not provided him with the option to "sublet." Furthermore, since the property is owned by the American people who graciously allowed his family to live there rent-free, any funds earned by that property belong to the owners, not the tenants.

Congress demanded an accounting and the White House staff was forced to scramble to assemble a list of overnight visitors—carefully sanitizing the list to make it appear that anyone who had a sleepover was actually friends and acquaintances of the Clintons and not just big donors. The list was a shocker. Nine hundred thirty-eight people paid anywhere from $25 thousand to $200 thousand for a sleepover. If everyone paid the minimum, the sleepovers netted the Clinton fundraising machine $23,450,000. The total is probably much closer to $87,000,000, but it is unlikely anyone outside the Clinton-Gore inner circle will ever know.

When the Clinton-Gore team came under fire for unethical fundraising practices, McAuliffe took the blame for dreaming up both the sleep-overs and the White House Coffees. However, just as Clinton admitted he thought up the sleepovers, Vice President Al Gore, Jr. would not let anyone rob him of the credit for the Coffees. It was, after all, the most successful fundraising venture of the Election of 1996—and the most illegal.

A total of 103 Coffees were held. Over $27 million was raised. One long-term fund-raiser confided to the Los Angeles Times that he was instructed by DNC Finance Chairman Marvin Rosen to sell presidential access for a minimum of $50 thousand a head. Several major American corporations later admitted to the media that they had been invited to attend Coffees at the White House for a minimum contribution of $100 thousand. Most said the calls, usually placed by the DNC but sometimes by someone claiming to represent the White House, left no doubt in their minds that it would be in their best corporate interest to drop everything and go to Washington and have a cup of coffee with the President, Vice President, or First Lady—or, at least, to send a check.

The White House coffees took on a slightly oriental flavor on June 18, 1996 when former busboy turned covert political fund-raiser Johnny Chung took a Chinese operative to her first White House Coffee. When Chung testified before the House Government Reform Committee, he told the committee that, on that date, he was given a political contribution of $300 thousand for the Clinton-Gore campaign by a woman named Liu Chaoying whom he first identified as the head of China Aerospace International Holding Company. He later admitted that she was a lieutenant colonel in the PLA, and that she was the daughter of Gen. Liu Huaqing, the head of China's spy system. But, we're getting ahead of ourselves. Sit back, and have another cup of coffee.

Chung told the House Government Reform Committee that after donating $391 thousand for Democratic Party causes—we gained him immediate and immense access to Clinton, Gore, or any Clinton Administration officials he wanted to see. Several weeks later he returned to China to meet, once again, with Lt. Col Liu Chaoying. Liu invited him to meet Gen. Ji Shengde, the chief of military intelligence for the PLA. At that meeting he was given $300 thousand to pass to the Clinton Campaign. Chung had officially become a "straw donor" for Chinese intelligence. When he returned to the United States, the former busboy became a frequent guest at White House functions. In fact, he became important enough that he was invited to view Bill Clinton tape his regular Saturday morning radio address on March 11, 1995. Among the notables attending that taping was Zheny Hongye, head of the PRC-run Chinese Chamber of Commerce and head of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade; Jichun Huang, Vice President of China International Trust & Investment Corporation; Yan Sanzhong, president of China Petroleum; James Sun, an associate of Li Ka-Shing (who assumed most of the business interests in the Panama Canal Zone when the United States removed its flag and surrendered the Canal Zone back to the Panamanians); Wang Renzhong, president of Shanghai AJ Shareholding.

After the July 18 White House Coffee, Liu abruptly changed her travel plans which called for her to fly to Hong Kong. She returned to Beijing. A month later Chung joined her. That was when he met Ji Shendge. And, that's when he became the primary bagman for the People's Liberation Army.

On June 18, 1996 a White House Coffee was scheduled. But for some strange reason, at the last minute, those scheduled to attend the affair were split into two groups. Two separate coffees were held—one after another. One of the Coffees were for friends of the DNC. Among that group was a regular Clinton contributor, Robert Belfer who donated $50 thousand the following day. But, its the second group that is most intriguing because among those 'Friends of Bill," was Pauline Kanchanalak, an ethnic Chinese woman who was born in Thailand. She was not an American citizen. She was a fund-raiser in the same sense that Johnny Chung was a fund-raiser. She was a PLA agent. ( Kanchanalak, who fled the country the minute Congressional investigators subpoenaed her. She was indicted by a federal grand jury on 24 counts of election fraud.)

When the DNC learned that Kanchanalak was bringing several Thai businessmen to the June 18 Coffee, they became wary and didn't want any part of the Coffee—nor did they want their American donors exposed to the Thai group, or to Kanchanalak suggesting that DNC Chairman Don Fowler knew that some of the money the Clinton-Gore team was raising was not only not legal, it was treasonously illegal.

When Fowler bolted, John Huang, the financial chair of the DNC was adamant, arguing with one DNC official that "...Pauline has been a big contributor...it goes back to...Ron Brown..., and she's very high maintenance." With the help of Bill Clinton, Fowler caved—but only to making an appearance at the Kanchanalak Coffee where $300 thousand of PLA money was given to the Clinton-Gore Reelection Campaign. Fowler would not allow the American contributors to be merged with the Kanchanalak group since Fowler knew the American contributors would question what a Thai group was doing at a political fundraiser for Clinton. That suited both Huang and Kanchanalak since they wanted to limit the invitations to her clients only.

Both of the June 18 Coffees were held in the Map Room. Both were opened by DNC Chairman Don Fowler. After a brief introduction to the Thai group in which Fowler compared Clinton to Abraham Lincoln, the DNC Chairman turned the gathering over to Huang. According to testimony given in the Thompson Committee Hearings, Huang made an open pitch for money to the Thai businessmen—in Clinton's presence. [Thompson Committee Report at 212]. It is not clear if Fowler remained in the Map Room for the money pitch, but logic would suggest it would have been in his best interest to leave before the solicitation of illegal campaign money was made.

Huang told the Thai businessmen that "...Elections cost money, lots of money. I am sure that every person in this room will want to support the reelection of President Clinton." [ibid, at 213] The Thai businessmen later bragged that they were not shy in telling Clinton what they wanted in return for their "support"—more US high technology exports to China. [Far Eastern Economic Review, January 23, 1997] On the same day that Huang made his pitch for illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals, and the same day that the Thai group asked Clinton for more high tech exports to China, Congress was considering the most favored nation trading status of China—at the urging of the Clinton White House, which viewed the PRC as their friend and trading partner.

The June 18, 1996 White House Coffee hosted by John Huang for PLA operative Pauline Kanchanalak and her alien straw donors was so far outside the scope of a legitimate political fund-raiser that it is beyond troubling. So is the fact that Congress did nothing about it. Nor did the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, the DIA or the local DC cops. The President, Vice President and the First Lady committed sedition against the United States, and nobody did nothing. Oh, wait. Yes they did. They impeached Clinton over a semen-stained blue dress.

Also troubling about the White House Coffees from a legal perspective is that 16 of the 103 Coffees were DNC events. A Clinton White House official, speaking anonymously to Paul Rodriguez, the managing editor of Insight on the News magazine in January, 1997 confirmed that the White House "...was reimbursed by whatever political group [held the Coffee]." What makes that troubling is that Section 607 of Title 18 of The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1979. Unlike Section 7323 of The Hatch Act of 1939 is that Section 607 makes it illegal for any person to solicit or receive a contribution within the meaning of Section 301[8] of The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by a federal employee or official.

Since the president met the "coffee contributors" in the Map Room in his official capacity as President of the United States, the room was—while he was present—being used for the discharge of official duties by an official of the United States government.

The famous Clinton Daffy Definitions Dictionary was used to obfuscate the fact that a federal law was violated. Since no actual funds were collected at any of the Coffees, the White House insisted it had not violated the law. However, a contribution was the price of admission. In almost every instance, the attendees "paid at the door,' or within a week or two of the event. Without a contribution the participants would not have been there. But, without tangible evidence that solicitations took place in the other 102 Coffees, the President, by his presence and his willing participation in the June 18 Coffee, violated federal election laws.

When she was asked about the White House Coffees, Amy Weiss Tobe, a spokeswoman for the DNC at the time, refused to discuss the conundrum of DNC political events in which government=paid White House staff members were present. In a scripted reply, she said that the Coffees were held whenever the President was not traveling, and were designed to gather "...people from around the country to talk about the political topics of the day," or "...for personal conversations with the President."

When he was asked about the fundraising events at the White House, Clinton denied they were fund-raisers, implying instead that they were simply round-robin discussions with a myriad of people who had different perspectives on the issues that face all Americans. All of whom, it seems, just happened to have at least $15 thousand to $50 thousand in pocket change to pay for coffee at the White House.

Of course, in hindsight, everyone knows they were fund-raisers—with real people asking real contributors for some real money—and with some not too bashful contributors telling the President, the Vice President, the First Lady or some Clinton-Gore department head precisely what type of bang they wanted for their bucks.

I believe in anyone's polite political parlance, that's called a quid pro quo. In less polite circles, its called a bribe. At Jack Abramoff's trial, it was called a crime.

Coffee, anyone? Did I already ask? I just didn't want you to forget by November. And, most certainly, I want to make sure you remember the names and the deeds in November, 2008.

PLAYING THE GOD-CARD

PLAYING THE GOD-CARD

By Pastor Chuck Baldwin

June 1, 2006

NewsWithViews.com

It never ceases to amaze me how politicians play the God-card every election cycle. "Vote for me, I teach a Sunday School class." "Vote for me, I am a member of such-and-such church." "Vote for me, I am a conservative Christian." Ad infinitum. Ad nauseam. Unfortunately, these tactics work! Why else would intelligent people pay thousands and even millions of dollars to promote these kinds of ads?

That Christians have become stupendously gullible is the understatement of the year! Just about all a politician has to do is say, "I'm a conservative. I'm pro-life and pro-family," and Christians sing his or her praises all the way to the voting booth. That is, if he or she is a Republican.

You see, in the eyes of many Christians, the Republican Party is "God's Party." In fact, many Christians have come to regard partisan (translated "Republican") politics as much more than a political exercise. It is sacred, even holy to support the Republican Party, and in recent history, to support President G.W. Bush in particular.

I could not count the numbers of emails I have received that have ascribed my future soul as suffering the torments of the damned because I have dared to challenge the policies and political decisions of President Bush. My commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures means nothing! I am the devil's disciple because I believe President Bush to be in serious neglect of constitutional governance. (Can anyone say, "Heil, Bush"?)

However, does not the President of the United States put his hand on an open Bible and take an oath before God and the American people to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States"? (U.S. Constitution, Article. II. Section. 1. Paragraph. 8.) Of course, he does.

To "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" is the sworn duty of any president! Being a Christian does not give the President a right to violate his oath to the Constitution. In fact, if he took his Christianity seriously, it would only cause him to adhere more punctiliously to the Constitution, because his Savior commands that one keep his word!

Yet, deceit, duplicity, fabrication, and constitutional indifference is the modus operandi of Republican and Democratic administrations alike, including the present one! Furthermore, for the most part, it is a complete waste of time to replace a Republican with a Democrat and vice versa!

No matter which party is in power, nothing changes! Taxes continue to strangle the life out of the American people. American jobs continue to be outsourced overseas. The American military continue to be used as pawns for international bankers and oil companies. Millions of illegal aliens continue to invade our country with impunity. Encroachments continue upon private property rights. Government schools continue to indoctrinate our children in secular humanism. Unborn babies continue to die.

Americans not only need a choice; we need a change. I mean a complete overhaul! The first thing we can do is throw out every incumbent in Congress, with the exception of Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo, and a few others.

The next thing we can do is demand that whoever we vote for is a constitutionalist. Which party they represent and which church they attend matters little. What matters is that they take their oath to the Constitution seriously. It would be much better to have an unbeliever who obeys the Constitution in office than a believer who doesn't!

The thing that insures our liberty, including our religious liberty, is the willingness of a Chief Executive, members of Congress and the Judiciary to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Without constitutional government, our country will be quickly reduced to a gargantuan police state, which is exactly what America is becoming!

Christians need to wise up! Instead of succumbing to trite, meaningless clichés and marketing propaganda by the "God-card" professionals, we need to demand fidelity to constitutional government as the chief requirement for public service. This should be done even if that means voting for someone outside our religious persuasion or from another political party! Try it this November. The results cannot be worse than what we have already!

TAINTED TERRITORIAL IMPERATIVES

TAINTED TERRITORIAL IMPERATIVES
By Geoff Metcalf

May 30, 2006

NewsWithViews.com

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise; why shouldest thou destroy thyself? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? --Hebrew Ecclesiastes, 7:16-17.

Louisiana Congress critter William Jefferson was caught red handed with his corrupt hand in the cookie jar (up to his elbow). In any venue, other than congress, this ugly case of corruption, abuse of power, and greed would be a slam dunk: ‘go directly to jail, do not pass go, to not collect $200.’

However, for a brief Ionesscoesque moment the overwhelming empirical evidence against a corrupt Democrat Congressman threatened to challenge credulity and turn into a Constitutional turf battle. Huh?

In the wake of the abundant evidence against Jefferson (video tape, matching serial numbers on the loot found hidden in his freezer, et al), there was a transitory threat of territorial imperatives and separation of powers. Bullfeathers! Congress rallied against perceived threats to their ‘special status’ and joined in a bipartisan defense of the indefensible…presumably over ‘turf’.

Allegedly, supposedly, hopefully, no one is ‘supposed’ to be above the law (O.J. notwithstanding).

The bipartisan clamor to protect the ‘sanctity’ of congressional offices finally yielded to reality as House leaders begrudgingly conceded that FBI agents with a court-issued warrant CAN legally search a congressman’s office. Doh! And AMEN!

At one point, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, FBI Director, Robert Mueller, and senior officials and prosecutors at DOJ reportedly were prepared to quit if the White House directed them to give up evidence seized in the House members office search. Gonzales and his deputy Paul McNulty said they had an obligation to protect evidence and would be unwilling to comply with any White House order to return materials to Congress. Strong stuff!

Despite the rhetorical tap dances by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, and others, the simple basic fact that seems to elude the congressional ‘royalty’ is that ‘position’ does not insulate one from criminal investigation. Even the perpetually strident House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi is on board with the direction to House lawyers, "to develop reasonable protocols and procedures that will make it possible for the FBI to go into congressional offices to constitutionally execute a search warrant."

Bess Myerson once observed, “The accomplice to the crime of corruption is frequently our own indifference.” Indifference, commingled with territorial imperatives caused Congress to do and say some epically dumb stuff.

The brouhaha erupted in the wake of the Jefferson search warrant. Previous to the FBI raid on his congressional office, no such warrant had ever been used to search a lawmaker's office in the 219-year history of the Congress. Arguably, perhaps there should have been previous cases, but this was a first.

As the week wore on…

Pelosi asked for Jefferson to resign.

Jefferson refused.

Hastert protested directly to Bush and demanded that the FBI return the materials.

Bush foolishly crafted a compromise, ordering that the documents be sealed until congressional leaders and the Justice Department agree on what to do with them.
The President’s actions are even more egregious than the previous posturing of Hastert and Pelosi. G.W. was flat out wrong to pander to congress and second-guess a criminal investigation just because of hollow (albeit loud) grousing from Capitol Hill.

In the wake of the Jack Abramoff influence-peddling probe, congress is under the microscope. Congress is hearing footsteps and looking over shoulders. Which makes the Jefferson sting all the more outrageous.

Right is right and wrong is wrong. This isn’t rocket science.

"Lord knows it's very possible that there could be other members in this body whose information is sought by the Justice Department," Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters. Gee, you think?

Republicans are still reeling from investigations of Tom DeLay and Duke Cunningham. Some may salivate at a ‘payback’ potential over the Jefferson mess but that would be myopic.

The problems of corruption, abuse of power, and hubris is systemic. It happens because it is allowed to happen. For years the ‘Ethics’ committees in both the Senate and House have been neutered jokes.

“Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war.”

It is insane to suggest FBI agents acting lawfully within the requirements of the 4th amendment in anyway poached on the “speech and debate” clause of the Constitution. That clause says that members of Congress "shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective houses, and in going to and returning from the same."

It doesn’t in anyway suggest ‘Jack Spit’ about an ‘immunity field’ and by the by, unless they slipped another one by us, a six figure bribe IS a felony.

Instead of itching about imaginary boundaries, Congress should adopt and implement a zero tolerance policy toward graft and corruption. However, facts in evidence suggest, Diogenes would be S.O.L. searching Congress for that mythical ‘honest man.’

VETERANS, HEROES, AMERICA PAST AND PRESENT

VETERANS, HEROES, AMERICA PAST AND PRESENT

John W. Slagle
May 29, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

On Memorial Day, and every day of the year, I remember our Military Veterans, past and present, as well as American citizens and Legal Immigrants that have made our country a nation with pride and civil responsibility. Many have died but will not be forgotten.

It appears that many people across the United States are confused regarding our politically correct society and politics in general. As one of many “baby boomers” whose father was killed in World War II, I remember well the history of this nation. Five Surviving uncles who served in Germany to military battles on Iwo Jima returned home after the War. All were Midwest Farmers and in their absence from 1941 to 1945, the women within the family harvested the crops, took care of business and raised children. Many women worked in Defense plants building aircraft, vehicles vital for the military.

Victory gardens were grown, gas rationing was in effect and scrap drives produced materials needed for the War efforts. My mother and millions like her worked in shoe factories to manufacturing plants across the nation, long hours with very little pay to support the War effort. Military Troops were appreciated supported 100 per cent despite gas rationing and other personal sacrifices, people believed in the leadership of the U.S.and a world war that would end all wars.

Those were very hard times for most Americans, and people had to get by as best they could. There was no government assistance or a social welfare system at that time.

A boxed American Flag and a Gold Star Certificate for our Veterans Killed in Action was a sad fact of life for families across America, yet families did not “Curse the United States” for their loss. They all had a universal Love of Country and Pride in their nation.

I’ve been very fortunate to know many heroes in my lifetime, men and women of the “Greatest Generation.” These people after World War II established the finest national industrial complex in the world. Achievements in science, technology to manufactured goods was a standard of excellence for the United States of America and the world.

Factories produced clothing to everything needed in society and exported their goods at a profit. Quality Steel, Aircraft, Cars, Tools, furniture everything was proudly marked Made in the U.S.A. by Union workers. Wages, job security enjoyed by “blue collar employees were envied by governments worldwide. Citizens and Legally admitted Immigrants were gainfully employed and there was no task Americans could not nor would not do. Everyone worked that wanted to work from Agriculture, Industries to technology. Higher education and college was a universal goal for most young people in the United States.

Republicans had a core base of GOP principles rarely violated and Democrats were considered the “Working Man’s Party” who represented the laborers, unions and all Americans. Both political parties were very effective in establishing the United States as a law abiding nation, a Sovereign nation where anyone could earn a fair wage regardless of race, creed or color. Immigration from other countries were always beneficial, productive with most striving to become naturalized citizens. Many naturalized citizens served in the military and lost their lives in Korea and the Viet Nam era.

The Outsourcing of American jobs, Industries are now a matter of fact for the Republican Party in 2006. The loss of American jobs by both outsourcing and importing cheap foreign cheap labor is of no concern now to either party as long as votes and corporate interests are assured.

National Sovereignty is meaningless as is dependence upon China for all of our needs, clothing to electronics. Our Borders and respect for Immigration Laws are non-existent in Politics. Rarely is anything Made in the U.S.A. If the item is found, it’s probably an Antique. Hammers, nails, shoes, flags, every item necessary for society is foreign manufacture in 2006 most from Communist China, a now politically incorrect term.

Through the years I have also seen many items stamped “CHICOM” that are quite personal. These were on the receivers of AK-47s, SKS rifles used by first NVA soldiers, then Terrorists, Drug cartels to Organized Gangs. Being on the receiving end of a 7.62x39 round fired by a CHICOM imported AK-47 is not a good place to be in any scenario, law enforcement or civilian.

George Putnam, a World War II Marine LT. with 70 years experience as a journalist, radio broadcaster is another true hero who has known Presidents to Kings, Movie Stars to maintaining contact with the pulse of the nation and the American people. I'm very honored to know Mr. Putnam whose voice reverberated across the news reels in the early Silver Screen Saturday Matinees of my youth and decades later as a radio guest.



Mr. Putnam recently stated… “It’s time to get back to American Values, American made products, self reliance, and end up with good old American common sense.” “It’s time to return to the message and morals of that great old film, The Best Years of our Lives.”

In memory of the Greatest Generation on Memorial Day, and those before them that made this nation Great in War and Peace, you are remembered. God Bless our Troops and those that have “fallen” in defense of our country, past and present.

MENTAL HEALTH, EDUCATION AND SOCIAL CONTROL

MENTAL HEALTH, EDUCATION AND SOCIAL CONTROL
Part 31

By Dennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D.
May 29, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

Concerning mental health screening, perhaps the latest news comes from an Associated Press report that New Jersey doctors will now be required to educate expectant mothers and their families about postpartum depression and to screen new mothers for this disorder under a new law signed on April 13 by Governor Jon Corzine.

Health screenings are an important part of governments' desire to monitor or track people. And according to an article by Rob Stein in THE WASHINGTON POST on January 11 of this year, "New York City is starting to monitor the blood sugar levels of its diabetic residents, marking the first time any government in the United States has begun tracking people with a chronic disease....Lawrence Gostin, who directs the Center for Law and the Public's Health at Georgetown and Johns Hopkins universities, said 'You can imagine it getting to the point where you have a public health worker showing up at your door and asking, "Did you remember to exercise, eat right and take your medication today?"'...Wendy Mariner of Boston University's Schools of Public Health and Law said 'Government concern often shifts to government coercion. Today we're telling people what you should do voluntarily. Tomorrow it may be we're telling you what to do or you'll be penalized.'"

Regarding education, in the last part of this series, I referred to the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. The power elite's efforts to internationalize education has been going on for decades. Just two years after the supposedly conservative President Dwight Eisenhower left office, on July 31, 1962, he was in Stockholm, Sweden, addressing the World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Profession, and remarked: "I should like to suggest one final thought....It is the possibility of creating an international school as a new and different kind of clearing house for world thinking and teaching and learning in the vast field of human relations. On the campus of such a college would be gathered an international faculty of scholars whose concern would be objective truth, purged of national and regional bias, hatred and prejudices...."

In the U.S. today, the University of Illinois is planning to increase foreign students to 25% of its student body. And according to THE PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY REPORT (April 2006), University of Texas at Arlington Prof. Jose Gutierrez stated: "We have to eliminate the gringo (whites), and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to worst, we have got to kill them."

Education has also been used to alter students' values. In Prof. Norman Woelfel's MOULDERS OF THE AMERICAN MIND written in 1933, he wrote: "The younger generation is on its own and the last thing that would interest modern youth is the salvaging of the Christian tradition. The environmental controls which technologists have achieved, and the operations by means of which workers earn their livelihood, need no aid or sanction from God nor any blessing from the church."

The ultimate goal of the power elite is to achieve social control via education and other means in order to bring about a world government. And in order to control people, it would be helpful to the power elite to know who is communicating with whom. In that regard, the first line of an Associated Press story on May 11 titled "Paper Reports NSA Collecting Phone Records" stated: " The government (National Security Agency) is secretly collecting records of ordinary Americans' phone calls in an effort to build a database of every call made within the country."

In Part 27 of this series, I quoted Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) president Richard Haass as indicating nations "must be prepared to cede some of their sovereignty." When he was director of the Policy Planning Staff at the U.S. State Department under President George W. Bush, he delivered a speech titled "Defining U.S. Foreign Policy in a Post-Post-Cold War World" on April 22, 2002, to the Foreign Policy Association, in which he explained: "There clearly is a consistent body of ideas and policies that guides the Bush Administration's foreign policy....This coherence exists and can be captured by the idea of integration....Integration is about bringing nations together and then building frameworks of cooperation and, where feasible, institutions that reinforce and sustain them even more....Integration reflects not merely a hope for the future, but the emerging reality of the Bush Administration." Once the nations of the world become "integrated" economically and in other ways, it will not be difficult for the power elite to argue that these integrated entities should be managed by a world government.

SUSTAINABLE NIGHTMARE

SUSTAINABLE NIGHTMARE

Nancy Levant
May 30, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

It has been a long time coming, this demise of our freedom. We have lived a fantasy based upon liberty, freedom, American dreams, and a document called the Constitution of the United States of America. We are a people who believed in God, integrity, honest government, an honest day’s work, and we believed in the foundation of family.

We were led to believe that we had rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, because we were loyal to and grateful for the efforts of our forefathers who wanted religious freedom and the right to live by their labors and conscience. We thought we created and lived in a country that stood as a beacon to all enslaved people in the world that said, “...give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” But in our delusion, which began more than 100 years ago, we left the back door of our government halls wide open. And into our lives walked global banks and global creditors. Now, they control our nation and our future.

Global governance is an old goal, an old effort, and many generations have been active in its pursuit. It is the dream of the world’s wealthiest people, who are bankers. It’s an old money game. What we did not expect, and what we did not prepare for, was just how powerful old money is and to what extremes it would go to accomplish global control. And as each day passes, I understand the sheer magnitude of what has now become a cliché, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” For, in fact, we now live with the truth of God’s cliché, and we must now ask ourselves how it is that an entire nation of people ignored, and continue to ignore to this day, what they claimed to value so dearly – America.

Sustainability is the death of freedom. How can I say it more clearly? How can anyone reach the world’s people and say to them that the sustainable, global movement is the end of all human endeavors? The end of success, the end of brilliance, the end of religion, the end of humanity, morality, compassion, and the absolute end of any hope for freedom.

Sustainable conservation, and all it entails, is not about ecology or nature. It is not about ending poverty or creating equality. It is not about fairness or pollution or equal distribution or health. Sustainable conservation is about power, control, and money. Sustainable conservation is about loyalty to a financial apparatus that was invented by banks and old money. Corporations are the backbone of all sustainability efforts – globally. Corporations fund sustainability enterprises via donations and resulting tax write-offs. Sustainability is about a form of government that sees human beings as lowly paid employees who are allowed to function if, and only if, they serve the profits of the corporations. That is why NGOs have taken over America and the rest of the world. They know that if they don’t play sustainability ball, they will fail to earn livings. That is why there are literally hundreds of thousands of NGOs globally, because the NGO network is the friends, relatives, and known business associates of the corporate world, and they all know that their financial future is based upon corporate and global governance.

The sustainability government, or corporate governance, prepared for global conflict and global resistance. They created a diversion called ecological crisis. That global crisis ushered into place the NGO/stakeholding structures, which now, town by town, city by city, wilderness by wilderness, dissolve the power of voting on local issues. And as local voting powers are dissolved, new territorial lines are drawn based upon the locations of and the employment needs of corporations. And as people lose control of their local governments, and as local governments cease to exist, NGO rules and regulations become law that then answers to state legislation and state politicians whose campaigns are funded by corporations. And as we all now know, the states are complicit players with the environmental/conservation/sustainability groups, which are beholding to the U.N. Agenda 21 mandates – the birthplace of sustainable conservation.

Resistance becomes very difficult when the taking of voting rights and private property are co-joined enterprises. We actually get side tracked by the state-by-state theft of private property. And though fight we must for our land, the bigger corporate picture and the larger plan takes shape.

At the exact same time that property and voting rights are dissolved, legislation like the Patriot Act, compulsory mental health testing; RFID technology, controlled fresh water legislation, road removal, manufactured super-viruses, national security, open borders, social re-engineering of children and federal government take-over of public schools and curriculum, deed-restricted housing, COPS (Community-Oriented Policing Services), Live-Work Units, the anti-religion movement, co-housing or intentional housing development, and many other facts of globalization enter America, and all other nations, in a mad rush. And it was and is all over-whelming and confusing, and that, too, was counted on and planned.

Resistance is expected, anticipated, and that is why the RFID technology, and all its applications, are also here and awaiting legislation, which will most assuredly be hidden legislation and decreed by executive order. And the legislation will work in efforts to paralyze resistance with full spying capability of all people, with limited travel laws including limiting the right to drive, and the most effective paralysis tool will continue to be the current indebtedness of American people. Debt will, indeed, cripple our populous and enslave us to corporations. Most Americans live enslaved to this system now.

Sustainability is the cover story of corporate global governance. The end of private property and voting rights, replaced by corporate ownership of land and consensus governance, which reports to corporate funders, who report to the World Bank and its creators, is the world’s future. All will suffer, but American people, who are guilty of apathy, naivety, complacency, and equally partnering and stakeholding to save themselves rather than their nation, freedom, and free will, will suffer the most. We have the most to lose, as we now know.

In 100 years, if our great-grandchildren are still here, they will be living under Fascist governance, and they will have been denied the knowledge of America and her founding, denied the knowledge of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and they will wonder about the death of half or more of the human population. They will be people who are servants to bankers and corporate elites. They will own nothing. They will have nothing but assigned jobs. Their lives will be stifled as chipped and controlled people. Their lives will be sustainable nightmares though, sadly, they may never know of the concept of human freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Only God knows what their lives and the world might truly be like by then, but today, and no matter which way you look at it, the love of money is the root of this evil, and unconscionable evil is what it is. It cannot be disguised in a business suit, with smiling bleached teeth, or with a paycheck. Denial is hardly an option anymore.

THE ONE WORLD ORDER, BY CONQUEST OR CONSENT?

THE ONE WORLD ORDER, BY CONQUEST OR CONSENT?
PART 1

Deanna Spingola
June 1, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

On February 17, 1950, James Paul Warburg confidently declared to the United States Senate: “We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.”[1] James Paul Warburg (1896-1969) was the son of Paul Moritz Warburg, nephew of Felix Warburg and of Jacob Schiff, both of Kuhn, Loeb & Company which financed the Russian Revolution through James’ brother Max, banker to the government of Germany.[2] A world government is a world without borders, national sovereignty, constitutions, privacy, autonomy, individual liberties, religious freedoms, private property, the right to bear arms, the rights of marriage and family and a dramatic population reduction (two thirds). A world government establishes a slave/master environment wherein the state controls everything.

Unfortunately, in the United States, the Establishment’s goal of a One World Order is reaching fruition through complacent consent and subversive conquest. America, a Constitutional Republic, is plunging into the satanical One World Order facilitated by the calculated placement of unscrupulous individuals deeply dedicated to the goals of the secret societies they belong to. America, formerly the home of the brave and the free, is currently the home of the people who merely think they are free. None are more enslaved and manipulated than those who mistakenly view themselves as free, therefore rendering them exceptionally vulnerable.

Consent, using mass population management can be achieved by using elements of Hegelian Dialectics. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831),[3] the political and social scientist and professor at the University of Berlin from 1817 until his death in 1831, clearly defined his philosophical/political concepts that came to be known as Hegelianism. His ideas are still taught[4] and authors continue to elaborate on his philosophies,[5] though inattentive Americans fail to acknowledge or even distinguish their application in our own society despite the obvious and devastating consequences.

“The philosophy which has dominated the Western world since the mid 19th century can be reduced to one tenet—ultimate peace comes only through conflict… It proposes that a clash between ideologies (thesis and antithesis) is a normal historical phenomenon which always results in compromise (synthesis) that advances civilization to a higher level of order. “Conflict, in other words, is good, and peace is not necessarily desirable (or profitable).”[6] The essence of Hegel's dialectical process is that an idea (thesis) is challenged by its opposite (antithesis) creating a crisis, problem or conflict and the two are ultimately reconciled into a third idea (synthesis) or compromise which includes both. As compromise (synthesis) is achieved the process is incessantly repeated, with synthesis posturing as thesis, for sustained conflict-filled advancement. And like spectators at a tennis match, the populace is so totally distracted by the contrived contentious confrontations that we do not perceive the motives of the entire conflict charade. Government creates a crisis for which the public demands a solution. That solution instigates the changes that the government initially wanted but which the people would have been unwilling to accept. It is Order out of Chaos! Worldwide chaos will lead to worldwide solutions which will establish the One World Order.

Several current crises receiving media attention definitely demand serious scrutiny. Trust me; the government already has the perfect solution for each problem.

Crisis #1: Deliberate destabilization is occurring: well financed demonstrations donning foreign flags, government fines of small business, chaos, high crime rates, eradicated contagious diseases returning, bankrupt hospitals, high welfare burdens, lost American wages, and overcrowded schools are emotionally eviscerating Americans. Minutemen marches and justified activities are ineffective against the floodgate of the Mexican masses. Public demand is high as we witness the seemingly impotent government (thesis) apathetic to the voter’s wishes while their usually supportive squad of talk radio show shills and the Fox News faction posture as a very effective opposition (antithesis) purportedly embracing the average citizen’s viewpoint against the government.

Solution or synthesis: The completely orchestrated invasion by invitation is essentially the well planned stealthy strategic function of combining the countries of Canada, the United States and Mexico according to the treacherous treaty signed on March 23, 2005, by the top political leaders of the United States, Mexico and Canada: Bush, Fox and Martin.[7] Download the CFR associated document, Building a North American Community, Task Force Report 53 for comprehensive details. This invasion enables their goal with additional perks: thousands of additional jobless citizens will be available for perpetual warfare paid by borrowed funds from the international banking cabal. Rampant chaos, assisted by the predicted avian pandemic may necessitate permanent Martial Law or military order (as after 9-11) which may prevent the 2006 and 2008 “elections” from taking place. Those “representatives” loyal to the One World Order would then remain in office, an unlikely circumstance, if our votes actually counted, after their duplicity in this immigration fiasco.

For security, “voters” (people who actually think they have a voice) will settle for the compromise legislation that we were unwilling to accept originally. To prove our legality, we will be amenable to an implanted ID chip. We won’t complain too loudly about the incarceration of illegals in those FEMA Concentration Camps. This will make it easier for the government to imprison dissenters, whistleblowers and patriots. What they can do to one person, they can do to multitudes.

Crisis #2: Members of the government-friendly mass media are apparently attempting to provoke public alarm by castigating watchdog journalists who allegedly leak information which might affect our “national security.” One popular obedience-trained radio talk show shill suggested subpoenas instead of Pulitzers. William J. Bennett, Neo-con war hawk PNAC member said: “But these people who reveal our secrets, who hurt our war effort, who hurt the efforts of our CIA, who hurt efforts of the president's people--they shouldn't be given prizes and awards for this; they should be looked into--the Espionage Act, the investigation of these leaks.”[8]

Journalistic exposés about Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-California), Bush’s warrant-less domestic surveillance program and the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal expose government abuse and corruption. Government is accountable to the people, not the other way around. In an attempt to prevent publication of Bush’s illegal assault on our privacy “Bush met with Executive Editor Bill Keller and Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. to argue against publication.”[9] Gagging the press is censorship – typical only in a tyrannical government. Freedom of speech is always lost gradually – unfortunately with the consent of a propagandized frightened populace willing to give up their freedoms for a measure of security.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” - Harry S. Truman

Solution or synthesis: Full ramifications of the legislation already in place will unfold, which the unwitting populace will readily accept, with the next contrived crisis or pandemic – the 2007 Intelligence Authorization Act spells total control from just about every major bureaucratic agency. “H.R. 5020 provides strategic and substantial enhancements in funding for critical, world-wide intelligence capabilities, strengthens our overall capabilities, and gives America the modern, lean, mean, agile, and aggressive Intelligence Community it needs.”[10]

“Finally, the bill requires the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to develop a comprehensive overhead architecture program to eliminate waste and ensure rational and coordinated technical programs; improves coordination between the Intelligence Community and military to increase our efforts and effectiveness in the Global War on Terror; and increases House Intelligence and Armed Services coordination to advance common systems and capabilities to fight the Global War on Terror.”[11] The “war of terror” is significantly defined as global, the ominous foreshadowing of “perpetual war for perpetual peace”. Anti-war advocates will be classified as unpatriotic or worse – probably depicted as traitors via a daily “2-minute hate session.” “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.”

Obviously, there are other crises, orchestrated oppositions, for which Americans are and will demand solutions – premeditated plans that bring us closer to the One World Order. People are demanding a solution to the gas prices which affect every aspect of American life. It isn’t just about gas availability for summer vacations. Petitions against profanity from friends and family are wending their way through the Internet asking for a government solution. Hey people, police yourself and your children – turn the television off – read a book! Don’t hand the job of parenting to Big Brother! If they can eliminate profanity, they can eliminate anything – religion, etc.

Criminal activity, hyped in the news and exacerbated by numerous CSI style shows, creates the perception of pervasive crime which promotes a general feeling of fear and vulnerability. Some Chicago churches are compensating individuals for turning in their guns. Is this a faith-based initiative - churches collecting guns appears very benign compared to confiscation by uniformed government agents. Gun control is a major step! Only criminals and the government (excuse the redundancy) will have guns – now that is the scariest scenario.

“Our main agenda is to have all guns banned of course. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn’t matter if you have to distort facts or even lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed.” --Sarah Brady, 1994

It is amazing that the government can predict the pandemic arrival of the avian flu Small business suffers while big multinational agri-business increases. And who knows what is in that vaccine serum – metal, mercury or some other waste product? Collateral benefit: Donald Rumsfeld makes big bucks on Gilead stock.

Is another war on the horizon? Should we preemptively nuke Iran – the threat is whatever the Ministry of Truth and the complicit news media says it is. Collateral benefit: war profits for the Carlyle Group, that well-connected defense contractor and don’t forget about Halliburton.

Warrantless domestic surveillance is an affront to our basic Constitutional freedoms but has been going on for decades. The latest incident was intentionally “leaked” to evaluate mass response to a more intense invasion of our privacy. Naïve citizens who aren’t “guilty of anything anyway” claim they don’t mind if Big Brother listens to their private conversations. “Just keep us safe from those bogeymen terrorists!”

Certainly, there is a massive amount of contrived crises but I hope I made my point regarding thesis, antithesis and synthesis.

To provide the ongoing application of these devilish dialectics individuals from well established covert societies, some more secret than others, finagle their way into powerful positions within the three branches of the federal government. This is accomplished through complicit consent and contrived choice. The quantity of such infiltration is insignificant especially if we consider the “one rotten apple in a basket” concept. Secret societies, the genuine conspiracies, are secret for a reason and they exist despite denials and well-placed “official” counter charges. Activities carried on under the darkness of concealment are most frequently illegal. Secrecy is not essential in the glaring light of day.

Antony Sutton stated: “Secret political organizations can be and have been extremely dangerous to the social health and constitutional validity of a society. In a truly free society the exercise of political power must always be open and known.” “Moreover, organizations devoted to violent overthrow of political structures have always, by necessity, been secret organizations. Communist revolutionary cells are an obvious example. In fact, such revolutionary organizations can only function if their existence was secret. In brief, secrecy in matters political is historically associated with coercion. Furthermore, the existence of secrecy in organizations with political ambitions or with a history of political actions is always suspect. Freedom is always associated with open political action and discussion while coercion is always associated with secrecy.”[12] We have been brainwashed into believing absolute secrecy is imperative for our national security.

President Kennedy said of Freemasonry: “The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.” President John F. Kennedy— address to newspaper publishers, April 27, 1961

Most of these groups or societies embrace One World Order goals; they include but are not limited to: The Illuminati, Club of Rome, the Bilderbergs, the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA), also known as The Chatham House Study Group founded 1919 in Great Britain and its sinister sister the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) founded 1921 in America. The CFR is the largest group. “The plans for these two groups were drawn up at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. The RIIA was largely funded by the Astor family, The Rhodes Trust and certain British banks whilst the CFR was a front for JP Morgan &Co.”[13]

“The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all powerful, one world government.” Chester Ward, Rear Admiral and former Navy Judge Advocate 1956 – 1960 and a CFR member for 15 years. Is his attitude reflective of other military leaders who have also sworn to uphold the Constitution?

Both of these groups were established as proxies for the Rhodes-Milner Group which was founded at All Souls College, Oxford University by diamond tycoon Cecil Rhodes (Rhodesia was named for), inspired by John Ruskin, professor of Fine Arts at Oxford University and Lord Alfred Milner at the end of the 19th century. The Rhodes Scholarships were created as a result of an attachment to the 1902 will of Cecil Rhodes:

“The idea gliding and dancing before our eyes like a willow – a wish at last frames itself into a plan. Why should we not join (or form as other writers have interpreted Rhodes’ handwriting) a secret society with but one object: the furtherance of the British Empire, for the bringing of the whole uncivilized world under British rule, for the recovery of the United States, for the making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire.”[14]

BUSH'S NEW IRAQI GOVERNMENT BETRAYS AMERICA

BUSH'S NEW IRAQI GOVERNMENT BETRAYS AMERICA

Jim Kouri, CPP

Here's a news story that deserves wide coverage in the United States: The new Iraqi government assured the Iranians on Friday that it believes Iran has a right to develop a nuclear program and will not allow Iraqi territory to be used to "threaten" Iran.

In essence, the Iraqi government is taking Iran's side against the US and European Union. Despite Iran being a launching point for foreign fighters who kill American, British and coalition soldiers, as well as Iraqi soldiers and police officers, Iraq promised the Iranians that its territory would not be used by the US should the need arise to attack.

Speaking during a visit by the Iranian foreign minister to Iraq to congratulate the new Iraqi government formed a week ago, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Iraq's new government ''is a friendly government to Iran.'' These words should be viewed as Iraq's backstabbing ingratitude after Americans suffered loss of precious live and treasure to liberate that nation from the brutal dictator Saddam Hussein.

''Iraq definitely will not be a place to threaten Iran from,'' Zebari said at a news conference in Baghdad, with the Iranian foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, standing at his side.

Mottaki was the second foreign dignitary to call on Iraq's week-old government after Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, who visited Monday. Mottaki's trip came as a reminder that although the Shiite-dominated Iraqi government remains beholden to the U.S.-led coalition for its existence, it also enjoys warm relations with its neighbor, Shiite Iran, and does not wish to become embroiled in the rising tensions between the US and Iran.

Mottaki's visit took him to the heavily protected Green Zone, which is guarded by the US military. Most Iraqi ministries are based there, along with the US Embassy, which is housed in Saddam Hussein's former Republican Palace.

Iraq's leaders don't appear to take offense to the fact that Iran harbors terrorists who cross the border into Iraq and kill liberators and Iraqis alike with improvised explosive devices and other weapons. They view their relationship with Iran through the prism of Islam.

Speaking less than a mile from the embassy at the Convention Center, where Iraq's new government was sworn in last week in the presence of US officials, Mottaki warned that Iran would retaliate against any Arab country that cooperated with the US in any attack against Iran.

''In the event that America did do this, from any place, there would be a strong hit from Iran at that place exactly,'' he said, a further warning to the United States not to use the 133,000 troops currently based in Iraq to wage war on Iran.

He said he thought it doubtful the United States would attack Iran because America ''was the one that was defeated'' the last time it went to war. But, he added, ''because sometimes wise people are not the ones in charge of making decisions in America ... we are prepared for any eventuality.'' And he said this in a US protected IRAQ.

The comments underscored Iran's confidence in its relationship with the new Iraqi government, which includes representatives from all the major factions in Iraq but which is dominated by a coalition of Shiite religious parties that have close ties to Iran.

So where's the gratitude? Don't hold your breath. The United States should begin to withdraw its troops from Iraq as quickly as possible. We need those National Guard troops currently deployed in Iraq back home and on our own borders to stem the tide of millions of illegal aliens entering the US. The Bush Administration worries about Iraq's sovereignty, but cares little about the continual compromise of US sovereignty.

If the Iraqi government desires close ties with a country that openly admits it wishes to annihilate the Jewish people in Israel, while harboring and supporting terrorists who would cause harm to innocent American civilians, let them do it without our brave sons and daughters protecting them.

Iraq and Iran fought a brutal and devastating war in the 1980s, but relations have warmed significantly over the past year, since the United Iraqi Alliance took control of Iraq's government. The Alliance has a number of religious parties whose leaders sought exile in Iran because of their fear of retaliation by Saddam Hussein because of their opposition to him and the Ba'ath Party.

President Bush has refused to rule out the use of military force against Iran should negotiations fail to quell concerns that Iran's nuclear enrichment program is being used to develop a nuclear bomb. However, by allowing US troops to remain in Iraq while its government plays footsies with Iran is a travesty. There is nothing less honorable than being played for a sucker on the world stage.

Withdrawal now would not be dishonorable. We liberated them and helped set up a constitutional structure. It's time for the Iraqi people to run their own affairs and build their own nation. Many of our National Guard troops are in Iraq. Bring them home to safeguard our own borders.

Show the world how the US treats ingrates.

GRAB A HOSE!

GRAB A HOSE!

Coach Dave Daubenmire
June 1, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

I saw a clip on the TV the other night that really got me thinking. That’s dangerous, you know, me thinking. My wife often tells me that I spend too much time talking to myself.

I tell her that I am the only one who understands me.

But I digress.

The TV clip was of a man outside of his burning home. Having just returned from his son’s ballgame, he was shocked to discover flames shooting out of the top of his roof. In a panic he sprinted towards the garage and emerged dragging a yellow water hose over his shoulder. As he desperately connected the end of the hose to the outdoor spigot, one of his well-meaning neighbors cried out to him.

“Paul, don’t waste your time. That little water hose isn’t going to make any difference. The fire has spread too far. Wait on the fire-trucks…there isn’t anything that you can do to stop it.”

As despair slid over Paul’s face, he answered, “Maybe so. But I’ll be darned if I am going to just stand here and watch it burn. Grab a hose, will you? Maybe we can hold the line until the firemen get here.”

“Wow,” I said to myself as I nibbled on my popcorn “That is a picture of modern Christianity. The world is on fire and we want to watch it burn. Let’s just wait for Jesus, the fireman, to show up.”

I’ve never seen anything like it, the disconnect between what Christians believe and how they act. Because of the “Left Behind” series more and more Americans are wondering about the end of days.

“Is the end really near? All of the signs point that way. Earthquakes, famines, wars, rumors of wars, pestilence, are certainly the sign-posts that Jesus taught us. He could return any day.”

I hear that kind of talk a lot. Too bad we don’t really believe it.

What do I mean, you ask? Are you offended that I say you don’t believe it…that I question your faith?

Well, I don’t really think most Christians believe it. If they did, they would grab a hose.

I don’t want to argue eschatology. I haven’t studied it enough to give an intelligent opinion. To be perfectly honest with you, I really couldn’t care less. I think it is a waste of time. Jesus is coming…. I believe that, but I’ll be darn if I am going to just sit around and study the fire truck’s arrival time. The end for me could come tomorrow. I’m gonna work while the sun shines.

You remember Paul, the guy whose house was on fire? Wouldn’t it have been odd if instead of grabbing the hose he had driven to the local furniture store to purchase a new bedroom suit?

“Paul,” you might have said, “What are you doing? Your house is on fire and you are going shopping for furniture? You aren’t going to have a home to put it in. Now is not the time to shop….now is the time to rescue what you can before it is burned up.”

Let me connect the dots. This second Paul represents most Christians. They say they believe the end is near, but all they want to do is store up riches.

Think I’m crazy? What are they studying in your church? Financial stewardship? Ten Steps to Prosperity? Your Best Life Now? Marriage enhancement? End time prophecy conference?

Are you in the midst of a building project? If you don’t mind me asking, why would you build a church if you are getting ready to leave this planet?

If we really believed the end was near, wouldn’t we stop studying the end-time signs, storing up stuff and teach our folks how to rescue those in peril? Does your church train you in evangelism, take you to the streets, and show you how to impact your community? Does your pastor spend as much time training you to bless others as he does training you to bless yourself?

We are fixated on last-days prophecy as if we need to convince ourselves that Jesus really is coming back. We study the fig tree, the four-horsemen, the bear from the north, six-six-six, the mark of the beast, and try and figure out just when all hell is going to break loose on the earth.

All the while the world is on fire as we sit around and try and figure out how long it will take for the fire-truck to make it down our street. You see, we really don’t believe what we say we believe.

If we did, we would be spending more time rescuing our valuables (friends) and making sure that no one was left in the burning house (America).

Instead we store up greater riches, buy bigger houses, pray for greater financial blessings, and build bigger churches. We act as if the church building is a rapture bus-stop.

As Paul’s house burned would it be wise for him to build a new addition?

One thing that really struck me about the terrible events of nine-one-one was the heroic efforts of the firemen. As they looked high in the sky at the flames shooting out of the towers, they realized that those trapped in the inferno were facing impending doom. Their job was to rescue as many souls as possible.

Aren’t we glad they didn’t just sit in the firehouse convinced that there wasn’t anything they could do to save the people? Against all natural human inclinations to save themselves, they ran into a building that everyone else was running out of. Hundreds gave their lives rescuing folks they didn’t even know.

The American church could learn something from those firemen.

I spend my time fighting to save America. Many of my Christian friends think I am wasting my time. It is only going to get worse, they say, as they head to the mall.

Complacent ignorance is the most lethal sickness of the soul. –Plato

The soul of America is sick. Complacent ignorance has gripped this land.

When Jesus returns, if I am still alive, I hope he finds me with a hose in my hand.

What about you? Impending doom is at the door, death is knocking, while Christians play church.

Jesus is coming. America is on fire. Do you believe it?

Somebody grab a hose.
