Christeros — Armed Resistance to Judeo-Masonic Tyranny

Was the murder of priests and destruction of churches confined to Judeo Masonic (Bolshevik) Russia? No. In the 1920′s, hundreds of priests were tortured and murdered in Mexico when the Freemason President Plutarco Elias Calles ordered the suppression of the Catholic Church. “For Greater Glory” a superb film released last year, now available on Netflix, documents the Cristeros uprising where thousands of Christians took up arms against the Government of Mexico and forced it to compromise. The rebellion, from 1926-1929, claimed 57,000 government soldiers and 30,000 Cristeros “insurgents” plus civilians. Never heard of this rebellion? Neither have Mexicans. Freemasons, who espouse freedom and tolerance (for their own evil), don’t want you to know about armed resistance to their tyranny. http://henrymakow.com/2013/05/Armed%20Resistance-to-Judeo-Masonic-Tyranny%20.html

Is It Okay to Kill?

Is it okay to kill? I don’t mean a bug in your house, a snake in your garage, or a deer in the woods. Deer tastes good; you may not know if that snake in your garage is poisonous; and bugs are home invaders. I mean is it okay to kill a man, a human being, a person? Again, I don’t mean someone trying to kill you, rob your business, rape your wife, harm your children, or break into your house. Killing someone might be perfectly justified in those circumstances if it involves defense against aggression. Specifically, is it okay to kill someone who has not threatened or committed violence or aggression against you, your family, your friends, your neighborhood, anyone you know, or any American you don’t know? No? Then – What if he is not an American? What if he lives thousands of miles away from America? What if he adheres to a religion that is different from that of most Americans? What if he is a darker color than most Americans? What if he speaks a language that most Americans don’t understand? What if he has habits that seem peculiar to most Americans? What if he holds to a political ideology that doesn’t resemble America’s? What if he smells different than most Americans? http://lewrockwell.com/vance/vance334.html#.UZOEVssifPo.email

No King But Caesar

How many times have I heard some We-have-no-king-but-Caesar-type preacher say that Jesus’ words here mean that Christians have no right to resist or fight against evil government? If government passes a law to register your guns, Christians are bound to register their guns. If government passes a law outlawing your guns, Christians are bound to not resist. If government passes a law prohibiting praying, Christians are bound to not pray. If government passes a law authorizing the killing of unborn babies, Christians are bound to not interfere. If government passes a law requiring pastors to conduct marriage ceremonies for homosexual couples, pastors are bound to conduct marriage ceremonies for homosexual couples. If the government orders military chaplains to not pray in Jesus’ name, they must not pray in Jesus’ name. If the President declares a “national emergency” and asks people to surrender their firearms, Christians are bound to surrender their firearms. I suppose these same preachers believe that if the President wanted to pass an Executive Order initiating the ancient law of Prima Nocta (Right Of The First Night), whereby nobles (governing authorities) could sleep with a man’s bride on the night of her wedding, Christians are bound to submit to that order, too? Yet, the vast majority of these same Christian leaders who say “don’t resist government” are the first ones to lead the cheer for foreign wars of aggression. They are the loudest and most vocal supporters of military action against governments all over the world. They proudly extol and laud acts of war by our nation’s military. They brag about the young men of their churches joining the military and going off to war. And just what is it that military troops do? They commit acts of violence and resistance against foreign governments. http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/archives/5550#.UYpMm9SRTcc.email

‘The Pulpit is Reponsible For It’

I’m increasingly frustrated with many of my pastor and Christian brethren. Over the decades, they have made a god out of government–especially the federal government. Their support for U.S. military interventionism (justified or not) borders on worship. Plus, they have put their absolute trust in the Republican Party to the point that their support for the GOP has, for all intents and purposes, made the Republican Party more sacred than their own churches. They would abandon a church, or denomination, or pastor quicker than they would abandon the GOP–regardless of how much Big Government Republicans promote. When a Republican is in office (especially the office of President), he or she takes on the image of a god more than a civil magistrate. The Religious Right was absolutely deaf and dumb to the ubiquitous unconstitutional and unlawful conduct committed during Bush’s eight years in office. In fact, virtually everything that President Barack Obama is currently doing to circumvent constitutional government was copied from G.W. Bush’s political playbook. http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/archives/5568

The Role of the Israel Lobby in the Growth of ‘Christian Zionism’

While some individuals, both Jewish and Christian, have talked about a Jewish “return” to Palestine throughout past centuries, today’s version of Christian Zionism was largely invented in the 19th century; adherents of political Zionism, a movement to create a Jewish state, were a major factor in how and why it grew. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article34499.htm?utm_source=ICH%3A+US+Racket+at+Root+of+Korea+Conflict&utm_campaign=FIRST&utm_medium=email

The Militarism of Evangelical Christians

John Hagee

“Were it not for the support offered by several tens of millions of evangelicals, militarism in this deeply and genuinely religious country becomes inconceivable.” ~ Andrew Bacevich (Colonel, U.S. Army, Ret.). This is one of the most sobering statements in Dr. Bacevich’s important book The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War (Oxford, 2005). Whether you agree or disagree with evangelical support for militarism, the fact remains that the largest group of Americans that the government can count on to support the institution of the military, the empire of troops and bases that encircles the globe, large defense budgets, overseas military interventions, the perpetual war on terror, and now torture is evangelical Christians – and the more conservative the more bloodthirsty. Why? If there is any group that should oppose these things, it is conservative Christians who profess to be in subjection to the Bible. There is something gravely wrong with evangelical Christianity when socialists like Chris Hedges and Noam Chomsky get it right and conservative Christians get it wrong. http://lewrockwell.com/vance/vance325.html

Is God Against Drones?

He is not, according to former CIA analyst and current Christian axis of evil candidate Mark D. Tooley, as long as it is just the United States that is using them. http://www.lewrockwell.com/vance/vance324.html

Way Past Time for Christians to Wake Up

What is it going to take for pastors and churches to wake up and realize that America is in the throes of a burgeoning police state? Ladies and gentlemen, the long-standing veneration for law and order does not include blind submission to governmental abuse of power. Yet, it seems that very few Christian conservatives are even paying attention to what is happening before their very eyes. For example, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has purchased over 2 billion rounds of hollow-point ammunition (enough to wage a 30-year war); the DHS has purchased over 7,000 AR-15s. The DHS calls them Personal Defense Weapons (PDW). These are the same semi-automatic rifles with high capacity magazines that when you and I buy them are called “assault rifles.” Plus, the DHS has purchased over 2,700 armored vehicles, the same kind that the US military uses in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Department of Defense (DOD) calls them MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected). They carry .50 caliber weapons that fire from inside the vehicle. The vehicle itself is impervious to mines and small-arms fire. They are the vehicle of choice for our combat troops in the Middle East. Pray tell, why does the DHS need that kind of firepower? And who do they anticipate using all of this firepower on? If all of that isn’t disconcerting enough, we have now learned that the DHS has spent 2 million dollars on producing shooting targets of American gun owners. These are called “non-traditional threat” targets. They include pregnant women, elderly citizens, mothers in playgrounds, and even little children. These targets are produced by a company called Law Enforcement Targets, Inc. The company calls these targets “No More Hesitation” targets. http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin743.htm

Towards a Christian Zionist Foreign Policy

John Hagee

The bottom line is that the Christian Zionist involvement in American politics on behalf of the Washington’s relationship with Israel does not serve any conceivable U.S. national interests unless one assumes that Israel and the United States are essentially the same polity, which is unsustainable. On the contrary, the Christian Zionist politicizing has been a major element in supporting the generally obtuse U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East region and vis-à-vis other Muslim countries, a policy that has contributed to at least four wars while making the world a more dangerous place for all Americans. Christian Zionist promoted foreign policy serves a particularly narrowly construed parochial interest that, ironically, is intended to do whatever it takes to bring about the end of the world, possibly a victory for gentlemen like Pastor John Hagee if his interpretation of the bible is correct, but undeniably a disaster for the rest of us. http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2013/02/13/towards-a-christian-zionist-foreign-policy/

Why Evangelicals Are the New Partners for Immigration Reform

Christmas in an Anti-Christian Age

In Europe, a century ago, British and German soldiers came out of the trenches to meet in no-man’s land to sing Christmas carols and exchange gifts. It did not happen in 1915, or ever again. In the century since, all the Western empires have vanished. All of their armies and navies have melted away. All have lost their Christian faith. All have seen their birthrates plummet. All their nations are aging, shrinking and dying, and all are witnessing invasions from formerly subject peoples and lands. In America, too, the decline of Christianity proceeds. While conservatives believe that culture determines politics, liberals understand politics can change culture. http://www.wnd.com/2012/12/christmas-in-an-anti-christian-age/

Foreign Affairs ‘Debate’ – Buying Christian Zionists’ Votes

Both candidates repeatedly recited their allegiance to the non-voting state of Israel. I think I counted six pledges by Obama and five by Romney before the moderator improperly raised the subject of Israel by asking, “Do you consider an attack on Israel to be an attack on America.” Both men answered with a resounding “yes,” an attack on Israel is an attack on America! Our task is to expose Christian Zionism to those who are caught up in it or influenced by it. Christian Zionists who read this letter are invited to introduce themselves to us. We do not think they are aliens from some other world. They include our closest friends, loved ones and associates. http://charlesecarlson.com/foreign-affairs-debate-buying-christian-zionist-votes/

How Did Christians Become Warmongers?

So, what has happened to turn the most peace-loving institution the world has ever known (the New Testament church) into the biggest cheerleaders for war? I’m talking about unprovoked, illegal, unconstitutional, unbiblical–even secret–wars of aggression. The biggest cheerleaders for the unprovoked, unconstitutional, pre-emptive attack and invasion of Iraq were evangelical Christians. Ditto for the war in Afghanistan, the bombing of Libya, the attacks in Yemen, drone attacks in Pakistan, etc. Who is calling for the bombing of Iran? Evangelical Christians. Who cheers for sending more and more troops all over the world to maim and kill more and more people (including innocents)? Evangelical Christians. Most evangelical Christians didn’t even bat an eye when the federal government sent military and police personnel to murder American citizens, including elderly men, women, and children–Christian elderly men, women, and children, no less–outside Waco, Texas. Neither have the vast majority of them piped a peep of protest against the federal government’s murder of Vicki and Sammy Weaver. http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin724.htm

American Church Leaders Challenge Israel and Congress

The large Presbyterian and Evangelical Lutheran denominations anchored the fifteen church leaders who signed the letter below, with the ever present Quakers, of course, bless their souls. Israel was quiet, deploying their skirmish line of Lobby groups. And what was their tactic? To play the victim of course and trot out the old cliches. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/10/10/amercian-church-leaders-challenge-israel-and-congress/

Christian Cultural Marxism

During the recent debates surrounding the firing of John Derbyshire from National Review for writing the politically incorrect truth that everyone knows to be true, many people began to notice what others had noticed for a long time: the function of Conservativism Inc. (i.e. mainstream “conservatism”) is not to battle the left but to police the real right. On a recent email list, this line of thought got people to thinking: perhaps the same is true for Conservative Christianity Inc. (i.e. mainstream “conservative” Christianity). Perhaps the purpose of Conservative Christianity Inc. is not to battle the left but to silence and mislead conservative Christians. What’s most notable is that many so-called conservative Christian leaders today peddle what is essentially Cultural Marxism repackaged as “Christianity,” and the sheeple uncritically consume it. http://conservativetimes.org/?p=12122

Is Washington Deaf as Well as Criminal?

Israel is a tiny insignificant state, created by the careless British and the stupid americans. It has no power except what its american protector provides. Yet, despite Israel’s insignificance, it rules Washington. When a resolution introduced by the Israel Lobby is delivered to Congress, it passes unanimously. If Israel wants war, Israel gets its wish. When Israel commits war crimes against Palestinians and Lebanon and is damned by the hundred plus UN resolutions passed against Israel’s criminal actions, the U.S. bails Israel out of trouble with its veto. The power that tiny Israel exercises over the “worlds’s only superpower” is unique in history. Tens of millions of “christians” bow down to this power, reinforcing it, moved by the exhortations of their “christian” ministers. http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/08/16/is-washington-deaf-as-well-criminal/

Paul Ryan — More of the Same

It has happened again. We go through this every four years, and every four years the vast majority of “conservatives” fall for it. This is such a broken record. What did Forrest Gump say: “Stupid is as stupid does”? And wasn’t it P.T. Barnum who said, “There’s a sucker born every minute”? Well, here we go again. Neocon RINO George H.W. Bush picks “conservative” Dan Quayle. “Conservative” G.W. Bush picks neocon RINO Dick Cheney. Neocon RINO John McCain picks “conservative” Sarah Palin. Now, neocon RINO Mitt Romney picks “conservative” Paul Ryan. As long as there is one “conservative” on the ticket, mushy-headed “conservatives” across the country will go into a gaga, starry-eyed, hypnotic trance in support of the Republican ticket. I’m convinced that if Lucifer, himself, was the GOP Presidential candidate, he would get the support of the Religious Right and Republican “conservatives” as long as he selected a reputed “conservative” to join his ticket. And, by the way, the notable “conservative” wouldn’t think twice about joining such a ticket, either, I’m convinced. http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin714.htm

Judaized ‘Christian’ Leader Apologizes for Remarks About Trayvon Martin Case

The War on Easter, Part 2

Just as the Jewish theologian, Abraham Heshel used any means to defend his race and culture, so should we. Since Christians consider the events of Holy Week to be the central events in history, the Passion story has been the subject of innumerable works of Western art and music. Passion art has been a primary means of conveying the most profound expression of Western individuality, the hope for personal salvation. At the same time, it has also been a vehicle for re-enforcing our people’s understanding of the dangers of Jewish influence. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2012/04/the-war-on-easter-part-2/

The War on Easter, Part 1

As Easter approaches and we look forward to the great Passion music of the week we are resigned to hearing the usual shrill accusations of anti-Semitism by self righteous Jews. The purpose of such accusations is to force us to feel shame for a civilization whose art supposedly resulted in atrocities against the ancestors of the Jewish activists. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2012/04/the-war-on-easter-part-1/

What Many Churches and the SPLC Have in Common

For the sake of their precious 501c3 non-profit corporation status, many churches are becoming little more than government disinformation centers. Instead of energizing men and women with the message of Christian liberty (of which the Gospel is at the center), churches are busily sedating them. The Caesars’ “bread and circus” scheme had nothing over the “music, smoke, and entertainment” scheme of the modern American church. Instead of giving young people the scriptural tools necessary to be the champions of liberty, they are providing the opiate by which they will sheepishly take the Mark of the Beast. And woe be unto any Christian who decides to step outside these politically correct religious boxes! http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin694.htm

The Brotherhood of the Free

The sad truth is, even in the vast majority of churches, brotherhood is virtually unknown. Sitting in a church congregation is no more indicative of brotherhood than sitting in a crowded football stadium. In fact, there might even be MORE brotherhood at a football game than there is in the average church today. Churches today are literally eaten up with malice, jealousy, gossip, slander, backbiting, faultfinding, ad infinitum. (But the same is true with other establishment organizations as well.) For all intents and purposes, today’s churches make a mockery of all that Jesus taught regarding Christian love and brotherhood. On the whole, it simply does not exist today. http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin692.htm

Why Evangelicals Dislike Ron Paul

Is supporting war more important for evangelicals than their social values? Isn’t Ron Paul a social conservative? He opposes abortion, gay marriage and promiscuous sex, he has never been divorced and certainly supports family values, but he believes in limited government. Two of his brothers are ministers. Why then are evangelical leaders now opting for Santorum, and before him Gingrich? The one big area of disagreement with Ron Paul is war; foreign wars and the domestic one against drugs. For this they oppose him. Santorum supports unending war in Afghanistan, backing Israel without limit and a new war against Iran. http://lewrockwell.com/orig13/utley1.1.1.html

Anti-Christian Graffiti Scrawled on Jerusalem Church

Israel is a virulently anti-Christian country

The well-known “Baptist House” church in central Jerusalem was vandalized overnight in a scene that is becoming all too familiar to its congregants. The perpetrators scrawled anti-Christian slogans on the side of the Baptist House, including: “Death to Christianity”, “Jesus was a son of a whore”, and “We will crucify you”. Three cars parked at the compound had their tires slashed. http://www.israeltoday.co.il/News/tabid/178/nid/23124/language/en-US/Default.aspx

Obama’s Trampling on God’s Turf Now

The radical secularists in Obama’s entourage are so puffed up with success, so confident the future belongs to them, they have crossed the line between church and state to impose their values directly on Christian institutions.

Traditionalist Christians and their allies have been given a glorious opening to inflict a stinging defeat and humiliation on these arrogant intruders on God’s turf. http://buchanan.org/blog/obamas-trampling-on-gods-turf-now-4999

Obama Sandbags the Archbishop

At the end of Sunday mass at the church this writer attends in Washington, D.C., the pastor asked the congregation to remain for a few minutes. Then, on the instructions of Cardinal Archbishop Donald Wuerl, the pastor proceeded to read a letter.

Is Christianity Salvageable?

The tipping point for Christianity in the U.S. likely occurred when supplication became the church’s most profitable enterprise (as opposed to a backwoods hustler’s game), or at least when aspiring young preachers realized what success it could bring them. From there on out, a more female-oriented faith was inevitable. If preachers had merely stopped there, it would be bad enough, but in their eagerness to please female congregants they’ve taken things a step farther, and many have progressed to the kind of outright man-bashing and shaming one would normally expect from a lesbian apostate such as Mary Daly. They’ve gone from forgiving women’s sins, faith healing and praying for money to playing the part of a drill sergeant for husbands, who, as we all know, will never be quite good enough for wives, guaranteeing plenty of work for the energetic preacher. http://www.the-spearhead.com/2011/11/21/is-christianity-salvageable/

Evangelicals and the Troops

It doesn’t seem to matter to most Americans how many wars the troops are involved in, how senseless the war the troops are fighting, how many lies the war is based on that the troops are fighting, how many countries the United States has troops in, how many foreign bases the United States has troops on, how many billions the United States spends on the troops, how many foreign civilians are injured, maimed, or killed by U.S. troops, or even how many U.S. troops die in vain. It doesn’t seem to matter what U.S. troops do, where they do it, and to whom to do it to. None of this seems to matter to American Christians either. http://lewrockwell.com/vance/vance264.html

The Prohibitionists Are Back

As author Kevin Phillips has documented, Republicans have become a theological party of the Christian white far right in America’s heartland.These militant Bible Belt born-again fundamentalists are ardent Zionists and backers of America’s military-security establishment. One recalls the fateful prediction of Sinclair Lewis, “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.” Interestingly, today’s small town/rural/born-again Republicans closely resemble and hail from the same roots as America’s Prohibitionist anti-drinking movement of the 1920’s. Both today’s religious right and the Prohibitionists were determined, Taliban-style, to punish sinful city dwellers for having too much fun, as the devilish H.L. Mencken pointed out. http://lewrockwell.com/margolis/margolis263.html

31 Ways to Tell If You’re a Christian Zionist Warmonger

Judaized 'Christians' are allowing America to be destroyed from within

The tenets of imperial Christianity include things like blind nationalism, belief in American exceptionalism, willful ignorance of U.S. foreign policy, childish devotion to the military, cheerleading for the Republican Party, acceptance of the U.S. empire, and support for a perpetual war on terror – all, of course, with a Christian twist for effect. In other words, the views of Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann or Rick Perry. http://lewrockwell.com/vance/vance259.html

Israeli Agent: God’s ‘Unprecedented Wrath’ on Any Nation That Opposes Israel

'Christian' Zionist extremist John Hagee

America’s Wayward ‘Christians’

Why is it that today’s pastors and Christians are so clueless to what is happening in front of their eyes? They say they are “preaching the Gospel.” But they aren’t. What they are doing is pulling the wool over people’s eyes by refusing to sound the alarm! Why is it that as soon as the final “Amen” is spoken at the end of a “worship service,” the first thing out of the mouths of most of the men in attendance is something about sports? Why is it that so many “Christian” women spend dozens of hours each week searching the Internet in pursuit of whatever sordid information is floating around out there about their “friends” and fellow church members? It seems that today’s Christians are so ignorant of true Biblical friendship, fellowship, and brotherhood that they don’t know what to do with it even when they find it! Christian betrayal is epidemic! http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin662.htm

Beck, Hagee: False Prophets for Israel

Last week 5,000 evangelicals gathered in Washington D.C. at the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) conference to agree with televised Prime Minister Netanyahu who said, “When you support Israel, you don’t have to choose between your interests and your values; you get both.” He encouraged the attendees to think of Israel as “indistinguishable” from America. Also, Haaretz says: “News commentator Glenn Beck worked the audience into a frenzy, decrying the historical persecution of Jews, insisting that Israel cannot cede control over territories it controls, and calling upon the conference attendees to declare that they, too, are Jewish… Beck repeated a refrain that Netanyahu had introduced earlier, appealing to audience members to self-identify as Israelis and Jews themselves. He exhorted, “When we see Israelis not as part of us, but as us, we can move to the next level as human beings,” adding, “Let us declare ‘I am a Jew,’ they cannot kill all of us.” What these two demagogues are really recommending is that millions of evangelicals, restricted both genetically and theologically from ever becoming fully Jewish, give themselves mind, soul and body to total identification with and support and unconditional approval of Israel. http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/beckhageefalseprophets.html

Michele Bachmann Loves Israel

I’m sure there are some good things to be said about Michele Bachmann of the “at least she is better than X” variety. However, it’s very worrying that she seems determined to break all the records for fealty to the Israel Lobby. In a talk before the Republican Jewish Coalition in Los Angeles she said: “I am convinced in my heart and in my mind that if the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States . . . [W]e have to show that we are inextricably entwined, that as a nation we have been blessed because of our relationship with Israel, and if we reject Israel, then there is a curse that comes into play. And my husband and I are both Christians, and we believe very strongly the verse from Genesis [Genesis 12:3], we believe very strongly that nations also receive blessings as they bless Israel. It is a strong and beautiful principle.” There is simply no other civilized country in the world where a member of the political elite would claim–proudly and in public–to base her policy on an ancient religious text. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/

Letter from an Agnostic

Because the vast majority of Americans do not themselves understand, appreciate, and value fidelity to the Constitution, they are content to let their politicians routinely ignore and trample constitutional government. Therefore, Christian Democrats cheer the unconstitutional, loathsome policies and decisions of “Christian” Jimmy Carter, and Christian Republicans cheer the unconstitutional, loathsome policies and decisions of “Christian” George W. Bush. And, as Sonny and Cher sang, “The Beat Goes On.” And the rush toward bigger and bigger government, less and less freedom, and more and more socialism goes on–all these “Christians” in public office notwithstanding. In the midst of all this duplicity and chicanery come honest, freedom-loving, constitutionalists of all stripes, shapes, and sizes: men and women from all persuasions, backgrounds, and education who understand the principles of constitution government enough to be truly considered a friend of freedom. That’s why I have often said, not all Christians are our friends, and not all unbelievers are our enemies. http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/?p=3699

A Christian Killer Par Excellence

As I wrote in “Christian Killers” way back in 2004, the phrase ought to be just as perplexing as Christian adulterers, Christian drug addicts, Christian prostitutes, Christian pimps, Christian gangsta rappers, or Christian acid rockers. A Christian fighting the bogus war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan while in the “service” of the U.S. military is a Christian killer. He is not a hero. He is not defending our freedoms. He is not protecting the United States. He is not fighting “over there” so we won’t have to fight “over here.” He is not avenging the 9/11 attacks. He is not keeping American safe from terrorists. He is not ensuring that we continue to speak English. He is not guaranteeing our First Amendment rights. He is not fighting for truth, justice, and the American way. And he is certainly not defending the United States, guarding U.S. shores, securing U.S. borders, patrolling U.S. coasts, and enforcing no-fly zones over U.S. skies. http://lewrockwell.com/vance/vance244.html

AIPAC Zionists – The Archenemy of the American Nation

The Myth of a Judeo-Christian Tradition

From the advertising used to sell poor quality goods, to the classes in schools designed to make children into conditioned robots of the State, the art of persuasion has displaced the simple virtue of truth. Since the end of the Second World War we have been bombarded from all sides with references to the Western world’s “Judeo-Christian religion,” and “our Judeo-Christian heritage.” We are told by both church leaders and scholars that our society is based on a supposed “Judeo-Christian tradition”. http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/judeochr.htm

Extremist Hagee and Ultra-Orthodox Jews Abet Violence in Palestine

As the world empathizes with Japan for its massive loss of life, it remains appropriate to remember the tragedy visited on Palestinians over the past 60 years. This has not been an act of nature but a catastrophe engineered by misguided Christian evangelicals and Zionist oppressors. http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/ultrahageeabetviolence.html

Christians Should Leave Israel First Churches

John "Mushroom Cloud" Hagee addressing his masters

Are you weary of attending an Israel-first church where, despite the latest atrocities and injustices of Israel, “God’s chosen people” are only held up for praise? Are you satisfied with supporting a church where the great moral issues of our time – abortion, homosexuality, evolution, etc. (not to mention liberal Jewish antagonism to Christ) – are banned from discussion because they are “divisive?” Does it sit well with you that such intellectual strangulation gives evil a green light to infect your community and probably your children? By blindly supporting Israel (Babylon the Great) (See, “Babylon the Great” is Israel), churches across America are actually helping fulfill Bible prophecy—and not in a good way! They are helping establish a one-world government that will be ruled in Jerusalem by Anti-Christ. http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/christiansshouldleaveshallowchuches.htm

The Rise Of Anti-Western Christianity

During Pope Benedict XVI’s trip to London this September, Cardinal Walter Kasper noted two things about London: it’s secular and parts of it resemble a Third World country. While the politically correct were quick to condemn Kasper and the Vatican was even quicker to exhibit its pro-Third World, anti-racism bona fides, Kasper’s two statements taken together are noteworthy in that they demonstrate two antagonistic aspects of the modern world. The First World is secular; the Third World is religious. http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/4693

Blind Guides

Not one pastor in ten is worth a bucket of spit in the battle for Truth. Oh, they think they are doing a great job because they measure their success by the standards of the world…big budgets, big congregation, big building…but my experience teaches that popularity is rarely a good measure of Truth. Very few churches fill the pews with new converts, but rather, with sheep from another pen whose shepherd has driven them away…or sheep who have wandered off in search of a more palate-pleasing pastor. We need a revolution in the church. http://newswithviews.com/Daubenmire/dave224.htm

State-Owned Churches Are Killing America

The now infamous 501(c)(3) section of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) goes back to 1936 (the seeds of this Venus Fly Trap date back to 1872). But then-Senator Lyndon Johnson was the Dr. Frankenstein who, in 1954, unleashed this monster upon America. His motivation was: he did not like the way pastors and churches were opposing his liberal agenda, and he wanted to use the power of law to silence them. He, therefore, introduced verbiage to the IRC that churches were prohibited from influencing political legislation and supporting political campaigns, or risk losing their tax-exempt status. Of course, colonial pastors didn’t have to worry about their churches being “incorporated” as State-created (and controlled) entities, or about IRS agents intimidating them regarding what they could or could not say. In early America, preachers were free men; they could say whatever they darned well pleased. Gasp! Beyond that, virtually everyone regarded preachers as being “God’s men,” not the “servants of men.” Today, however, the average pastor has become the servant of the State and the church he pastors, more often than not, has become a creature of the State. It is an absolute fact that State-owned churches are killing America! http://vdare.com/baldwin/110203_state_owned_churches.htm

Pro-Lifers for Mass Murder

How many churches on the recent Sanctity of Human Life Sunday mentioned the right to life of countless numbers of Iraqis and Afghans who have been killed by American bombs and bullets in unjust wars instigated by the United States? How many churches mentioned the right to life of U.S. soldiers who have died in vain and for a lie in senseless foreign wars? If the pro-lifers in churches that observed Sanctity of Human Life Sunday care about innocent children then surely they mentioned children in Iraq and Afghanistan who have lost their parents because of the U.S. waging war on their countries, children born with birth defects due to the U.S. military using depleted uranium, and children in Iraq killed by brutal U.S. sanctions? Surely they mentioned the orphaned and emotionally scarred children of dead and injured U.S. soldiers? Although some churches may have mentioned these things, I suspect that the number is rather small or, in the case of most evangelical churches, very insignificant. And if it be argued that the churches that observed Sanctity of Human Life Sunday should be excused because the day is just about abortion then what about the rest of the year? Do not adults have the same right to life as unborn children? Do not foreigners who are not a threat to this country have the same right to life as American babies? Do not U.S. soldiers have the same right to life that other Americans have? http://www.lewrockwell.com/vance/vance226.html

The Gutting of Christianity

While not every men’s rights activist (MRA) need be a Christian, every MRA needs to know how Christianity has been gutted of its masculine core, and how this feminization of the central religion of Western countries has played a key role in the feminization of Western society. http://www.the-spearhead.com/2011/01/23/book-review-criticizing-the-critics-by-aidan-nichols-family-publications/

‘Israel First’ Theology Allows Israel to Commit Any Atrocity

John Hagee addressing his masters

Today most evangelical Christians remain silent after more than 60 years of Israeli injustice and brutality against Palestinians. Many praise Israel more enthusiastically than ever! This includes the millions who fanatically follow Zionist pastor John Hagee. Is there any Israeli outrage (maybe starting nuclear war?) that could cause evangelicals to disapprove of the Jewish state? Shockingly, no. The dominant theology of evangelicals today—Calvinism—leads Christians to the belief that we must not “curse” God’s chosen people with criticism, no matter what they do. http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/israelfirstthelogy_allowsisraeltocommitm.htm

Woman Seeking Christian Roommate Is Cited for “Discrimination”

When Israelis Burned Bibles, Most Christians Were Silent

Two and a half years ago, in an incident evocative of the recent threat by Florida pastor Rev. Terry Jones to burn copies of the Qur’an, Jewish religious students in Israel burned Christian New Testaments – by the hundreds. AP: “Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land. Or Yehuda Deputy Mayor Uzi Aharon said missionaries recently entered a neighborhood in the predominantly religious town of 34,000 in central Israel, distributing hundreds of New Testaments and missionary materials.” Aharon said he “got into a loudspeaker car last Thursday and drove through the neighborhood, urging people to turn over the material to Jewish religious students… the books were dumped into a pile and set fire in a lot near a synagogue.” Aharon claimed it is “a commandment [in Talmudic Judaism] to burn materials that urge Jews to convert.’” (Haaretz, “Orthodox Jewish youths burn New Testaments in Or Yehuda,”) At that time, there were some reports in western, even Christian media, of this outrage – yet nothing compared to the worldwide indignation against the Florida pastor. No major leader or denomination publically criticized the burning or the government of Israel, which neither forcefully criticized nor did anything to punish the offenders. Here we see the too familiar dichotomy: Last week an extremist Christian pastor was held up to international contempt for his threatened desecration and lack of “respect for diversity.” The floodgates of international media poured forth unlimited copy, alerting the world of what a Christian might do. http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/whenisraelisburnedbibles.htm

“Hipster” Christianity

Hoping to bridge the gap between the “irrelevant” church and young people who seek a counter-culture, a conservative journalist believes a wave of modern Christianity has gone “hipster” in its approach to reach the next generation. There is no stained glass — in fact, the only colors that illuminate this church glimmer from lights that hang from the local nightclub in which it meets. The pastor looks as if he was ripped out of the latest fashion magazine, and his sermon proves trendy as he injects a joke or two about the latest musician. Topics like pleasure and sex are used in the message to lure the audience. http://www.onenewsnow.com/Church/Default.aspx?id=1135930

The Judaization of Christianity

Nothing gives me greater joy than a Jew finding salvation in Jesus and becoming part of His spiritual body, the Church. Yet, just as St. Paul labored to preserve the infant church from absorption into Old Testament legalism, so a similar warning must be sounded today. Evangelical churches are rapidly incorporating Jewish holidays and other philo-Judaic elements into Christian worship. http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/judaiztionofchristianity.htm

Whatever Happens, Israel Can Always Count on U.S. Evangelicals

Thousands of Christians from across the United States descended on Capitol Hill on Thursday in order to lobby Washington lawmakers on behalf of Israel. http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/focus-u-s-a/focus-u-s-a-whatever-happens-israel-can-always-count-on-u-s-evangelicals-1.303452

Pope Pius XII Pleaded with FDR not to Bomb Rome

Pope Pius XII

In his letter, dated August 30, 1943, the wartime pope said Italy was “shackled and quite without the necessary means of defending herself.”

The Pope continued: “We hope and pray that the military forces will find it possible to spare innocent civil populations, and in particular churches and religious institutions, the ravages of war.

There’s Nothing Christian About Zionism

Christian Zionism is a modern theological and political movement that embraces the most extreme ideological positions of Zionism, thereby becoming detrimental to a just peace within Palestine and Israel. The Christian Zionist program provides a worldview where the Gospel is identified with the ideology of empire, colonialism and militarism. In its extreme form, it laces an emphasis on apocalyptic events leading to the end of history rather than living Christ’s love and justice today. Believing that God fights on the side of Israel, Christian Zionists call for the unqualified support for the most extreme political positions. They do not have eyes to see or ears to hear their sisters and brothers in Christ, or cousins in the family of Father Abraham who are caught in the crossfire of the military minded. http://www.countercurrents.org/fleming130610.htm

Group Says Army Symbol Religious, Wants it Changed

DENVER — A religious watchdog group says a cross and religious motto on the emblem of an Army hospital in Colorado violate the constitutional requirement for separation of church and state and should be removed.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation asked the Army this week to change the emblem of Evans Army Community Hospital at Fort Carson, outside Colorado Springs.

Goodbye, America

Whipped into a frenzy of religious fervor by the Grahams and the Robertsons, the Falwells and the Hagees, the Lindseys and the La Hayes, these Christian Zionists have become imitation Jews almost indistinguishable from Vladimir Jabotinski and Baruch Goldstein. They believe in a Greater Israel — entailing further conquests of Arab Land — and in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. They have “adopted” illegal settlements and they directly finance the bulldozing of Palestinian homes, the uprooting of olive trees, and the daily oppression of the rightful owners of the Holy Land. They pray every Sunday in their vast soulless churches for the destruction of Iran. And if push came to shove, they would gladly give their blessings to genocide — and call it “the will of God.” http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/authors/Darkmoon-GoodbyeI.html#LD

Army Report Says Christians Threaten U.S. Foreign Policy

And one more early observation: there is an eerie and uncanny connection between the verbiage and spirit of Stuckert’s report and the now-infamous MIAC and Homeland Security reports. The timing, too, is significant. The MIAC and Homeland Security reports were produced shortly after Major Stuckert’s report was produced. A coincidence? Not on your life! http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin582.htm

Italian Bishop Acknowledges Jews Are Source of Church Criticism

A furious transatlantic row has erupted over quotes that were attributed to a retired Italian bishop, which suggested that Jews were behind the current criticism of the Catholic church’s record on tackling clerical sex abuse.

A website quoted Giacomo Babini, the emeritus bishop of Grosseto, as saying he believed a “Zionist attack” was behind the criticism, considering how “powerful and refined” the criticism is.

Christian Israelis Ask Jews not to Spit on Them

A few weeks ago, a senior Greek Orthodox clergyman in Israel attended a meeting at a government office in Jerusalem’s Givat Shaul quarter. When he returned to his car, an elderly man wearing a skullcap came and knocked on the window. When the clergyman let the window down, the passerby spat in his face.

The clergyman prefered not to lodge a complaint with the police and told an acquaintance that he was used to being spat at by Jews.

Salvation Army Ordered to Stop Proselytizing

To settle a longstanding suit alleging that the Salvation Army preached Christianity in the course of its government-financed social services work, an agreement has been reached to ensure that it does not do so, the New York Civil Liberties Union announced Wednesday.

The settlement, approved by a federal judge in Manhattan, requires the numerous city, state and federal agencies named in the suit, including the Administration for Children’s Services and the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, to set up monitoring systems to make sure that the Salvation Army does not violate church-state separation in its publicly financed dealings with clients.

Judge: School Board May Hold Opening Prayer Despite Jewish Protest

Dagsboro, DE – Vince Rodkey was elated when he learned a federal judge deemed it constitutional that the Indian River School Board open its meetings with a Christian prayer.

“This is a small victory in a huge battle — the battle to remove God from any kind of politics or political arena,” said the youth and family minister at Church of Christ.

Jewish Woman Successful Prevents Father from Taking Daughter to Church

CHICAGO – A local father has been hit with an unusual restraining order: Keep his daughter away from any religion that is not Jewish.

Why? As CBS 2′s Mike Puccinelli reports, after the girl’s parents split up the father went to a Catholic church and had the girl baptized.

It’s a picture of Joseph Reyes and his 3-year-old daughter on the day she was baptized as a Roman Catholic. It was a happy day for this 35-year old Chicago man. But to his estranged wife, it was a malicious act.

God of War?

With all of the clerical and pewful cheering on behalf of recent wars, the intertwining of cross and flag, and the blessings bestowed on every Commander in Chief by the leading evangelists of the day, it can be difficult to discern the testimony for peace by theologically conservative Christianity. http://www.frontporchrepublic.com/?p=7523
