We are in a very critical situation today. Three planes plowed into
the WTC buildings penetrating straight through traditionally
heavily-controlled airspace and met their targets without even a
military jet to accompany them. Those planes traveled from far
distances in terror attacks that were planned by Islamic extremists.
From that distance how did they know they would penetrate? Such a
distance to travel at the risk of being laughing stocks to the Islamic
world!
After 3,000 people died, then followed a progression of certain people
BENEFITING from that disaster. The American people didn't benefit:
they lost some of their liberties and they are constantly even
promised that more terror attacks would occur. They are told they
must never go back to the days when American was considered
impregnable to terrorism even while maintaining all of their
privileges and liberties. When Osama Bin Laden threatens America on
the media, they must listen!
Osama Bin Laden didn't benefit. He is hiding in mountains presumably.
Lost world sympathy. Bush and all those who never listen to the Arab
Islamic plight are stronger, and the many who would even sympathize
with their plight worsened through American intervention are weaker
and more silenced since the government claims liberties from them
instantly. More Arab lives were lost than what Bin Laden took at 911.
Therefore a mystery presents itself before us.
With such attacks conceived to have materialized through angering the
Arab Islamists, President Bush put his sights on Iraq when already the
terrorism issue and offending Arab Islamists had become an issue.
That country was already contained under no-fly-zones to the point
where even their closest neighbors were not worried about them. Then,
traditional psychiatrists who know what paranoia is, sided with Bush's
call for a war in Iraq. They went in and did what was expected.
After already pulverizing Iraq a short time earlier during Operation
Desert Storm, and easily defeating her with a minimum of casualties,
America went over there with powerful and advanced tanks and artillery
to again accomplish the same thing. We had tanks that could see their
tanks long before they could see ours in the distance. We had tanks
with ranges of fire far above theirs. It was a wild slaughter! When
they couldn't even see our tanks we were able to blow theirs up from
far distances! Many of the Iraqi tanks were taken out without even
knowing what hit them! WE ALWAYS HAD SUPERIORITY IN THAT WE HAD
AERIAL SURVEILLANCE OF THEIR COUNTRY. You tell me they had that
advantage on ours. With aerial surveillance, it is all the more we
should have known for sure that Iraq DIDN'T have weapons of mass
destruction. And yet while Iraq was saying that it didn't and there
was confusion over the issue, North Korea announced and unveiled its
weapons of mass destruction in our faces as we were presenting to the
world a moral imperative that no brutal nation should possess such.
When North Korea did that, and presented the finger before us, many
were not surprised that we had to ignore them.
To this day there are people who contend that Iraq had weapons of mass
destruction and that they had ties to the 911 tragedy. To this day
when asked how those planes can penetrate our airspace like that
without a single military jet present to even inquire who they are, we
struggle against people telling us that the former presidential
administration didn't do his job. To this day we struggle with people
telling us the government needs to keep taking more of our liberties
away. To this day our nation cannot seem to figure out that Bush
diverted the war on terror over to Iraq, and then, after saying he
wanted Osama Bin Laden "dead or alive" wound up later confessing that
he is not worried about Osama. Now we can't seem to convince anyone
that the enormous deficit we have allowed Bush to put us through will
destroy our country, and that buying paranoia medicine for him would
have been more worth while. We cannot seem to convince anyone to
understand that we should not empower someone who has ties to the Bin
Laden family to be able to arrest and detain anyone without charge
indefinitely on the suspicion of having ties to terrorists! We cannot
seem to convince anyone that the principles of the Patriot Act
described above WERE ALWAYS ALREADY PRACTICED BY THE NAZIS AND
COMMUNISTS, and that by accepting the Patriot Act, WE ARE GIVING HONOR
TO THOSE HORRIBLE REGIMES!
We are actually struggling with a reversal of American principle as we
move closer and closer to the communist and Nazi regimes. We struggle
constantly with Nazis, when viewing our posts, merely bringing in
words of insult and accusations that we are insane. They refuse to
contribute to discussion for obvious reasons. Why is this?
WHY IS THIS? WHY ARE WE IN THIS STRUGGLE? We are here to show you
why! It was from strong and secret efforts against us dating back
decades and decades ago! First comes infiltration, and then it all
culminates to this:
We have noticed that everywhere we have been hearing this great call
for DIVERSITY. We have heard it loudly from our government. We have
heard it clearly from our media, and we have definitely heard it
loudly and clearly from our churches. All of these entities tell us
that we MUST have DIVERSITY. What do they mean? What are they talking
about? IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!
In our society, we have heard about DIVERSITY in the form of
multiculturalism and the many blessings it has brought upon the world.
Is multiculturalism bad??? Why are these things happening so
rhythmically and universally? When did this change come and what is
the purpose of this idea about DIVERSITY? Was there always this great
hype about diversity and multiculturalism in the United States in
previous decades? Was it really always considered a part of the
American Dream? Well the actual answer to why there is this great push
for diversity is found in the distant past before this nation was
born. The period of time in which to find the answers can be found
during the Protestant Reformation. Arguments took place during the
Protestant Reformation which can enlighten us about what is going on
among us today. It goes like this:
When this great nation came into being, it was established upon two
basic principles: Republicanism and PROTESTANTISM. This should give us
a clue as to what is taking place and who or what is behind the
changes which are now coming fast upon us; for during the Protestant
Reformation, the question we are now absorbed with as we are on the
brink of disaster was the same absorbing one which produced this great
nation: WHO OR WHAT WILL LEAD! WHO HAS THE ANSWERS!! All we need now
is for some unforeseen crisis to hit and we will find ourselves back
at square one asking the same questions that were asked when people
started to realize what freedom was. If an unprecedented major crisis
hits, how will we get out of it? If that happens, will we not hear all
kinds of different opinions flying around the air telling us what we
should do to get out of it?? In a situation like this, who will lead?
A typical example of this question in debate is exemplified by the
confrontation between Queen Mary of Scotland and the great Reformer,
John Knox. Both the Queen of Scotland, representing the Vatican, and
John Knox, representing Protestantism, declared that the source of
right decisions came from God's Word: the Bible.
The Vatican had always stated however that the bible of itself is
rather useless to the common reader. It requires INTERPRETATION.
There is where they claim the church comes in and is essential. They
reasoned that the church was what created and gave the bible to the
world, and that therefore the church alone could interpret that word
to the people. She only will make the decisions. The issue here was
who or what will lead: who will make the right decisions for the civil
and religious governance of the people. It requires right decisions to
preserve nations in prosperity. WHO WILL MAKE THOSE RIGHT DECISIONS?
Queen Mary said concerning the controversy between the Vatican and
Knox:
"Ye interpret the Scriptures in one manner, and they [the Roman
Catholic teachers] interpret in another; whom shall I believe, and who
shall be the judge?"
Right here therefore we see DIVERSITY. Two different entities have
different opinions or views about crucial matters. According to this
quotation AND TO COMMON SENSE, this is not a desired cir***stance.
THIS IS CONFUSION! It doesn't profit anything to be in confusion. Is
this condition regarded the same way today?
John Knox responded to the queen with the typical Protestant response:
"Ye shall believe God, that plainly speaketh in His word. And farther
than the word teaches you, ye neither shall believe the one nor the
other. The word of god is plain in itself; and if there appear any
obscurity in one place, the Holy Ghost, which is never contrary to
Himself, explains the same more clearly in other places, so that there
can remain no doubt but unto such as remain obstinately ignorant." --
David Laing, The Collected Works of John Knox, Vol. 2, pp. 281, 284.
Here Knox was not denying that there was confusion, but he speaks
authoritatively with a seeming answer for the problem. Knox was here
stating that the decisions for who or what will lead and where the
right decisions will come from centered upon each individual; that
each individual could find something called TRUTH from the Bible and
that this is what will build and preserve society in stability, equity
and peace; for if you found out the truth about a particular subject
or topic, and I found out the truth about the exact self-same subject
or topic, would we disagree with each other? Obviously no.
Knox was here giving the typical Protestant argument. Each individual
will study the bible and seek wisdom from God for himself and this
study will enable each one to find THE TRUTH. When that happens then
unity will be created. When they all know the truth, naturally they
will all agree with each other. THEY, IN THE PROCESS OF TIME, WILL ALL
COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSIONS! Each individual with his own unique and
diverse habits, customs, cultures and temperaments will ULTIMATELY
arrive at the same conclusions and ideas which will establish the laws
and decisions that will govern the nation.
THE PEOPLE WILL LEAD!
But how can this be, you might question. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS
WAS THE MISSION OF PROTESTANTISM! Do you understand what is being said
here?! The Protestants were saying that they did not need A DICTATOR!
It was to free the world from the tyranny of Rome so that all people
could discover THE TRUTH from the Bible for themselves why
Protestantism arose, and the basic reason why it was necessary to find
the truth was not only to preserve society, but to enable everyone to
properly prepare for the coming of the Lord. When truth is found,
everyone who finds it becomes "free".
Indeed it was not all kinds of different opinions warring against each
other that started the Constitution of the United States. We ourselves
today and now can NEVER duplicate such a do***ent again, for we have
been sabotaged into thinking that DIVERSITY of belief is a vital
necessity leading us to our full potential. We will show you that this
isn't true!
Yet of course, as we just saw the Catholic argument and the Protestant
argument, we can plainly see that the Protestant position was a much
harder act to follow. In the Vatican position, with one man at the
head rendering the decisions over a host of people sworn to obedience
and surrender, it is easily understood why there would be unity. One
man decides. All the decisions come from one man. If everyone is sworn
to surrender his individual opinions to that one man, how can there
not be unity and agreement?
Yet the Protestant position was that unity could be secured in a most
miraculous way--a way which p***** all understanding: That bible would
be given to everyone translated into his own diverse language,
culture, upbringing and situation, and would possess in it definite
instruction which all would be then expected to understand and abide
to. This book will then bring them to the same conclusions about
everything relating to life, morality and politics. HOW CAN THIS BE??
The question therefore was, can Protestantism in the process of time
fulfill such a seemingly impossible expectation? From that day to
this, there has been a mission to thwart this purpose. Can you see the
signs pointing to this mission?
The typical response to this from Rome was, "You can't find the truth
without us! Only we have the truth! If we just gave you the Bible to
do as you please, you will misinterpret it!" Rome said, "Only we can
interpret the Scriptures!" The Vatican then said--listen now, for this
is crucial: "IF WE GAVE THE BIBLE TO YOU TO INTERPRET THE SCRIPTURES,
THERE WOULD BE NOTHING BUT CHAOS AND CONFUSION."
Ladies and gentlemen, look around you! What do you see! Do you see
chaos and confusion? ROME WAS RIGHT! Isn't this exactly what Rome said
would happen if she allowed us to have the freedom to interpret the
Bible for ourselves according to the dictates of our consciences?
That's exactly what we established this nation to do! Among the
Protestants, it was to show the miraculous power of the Bible to
create unity from each individual going up. LOOK! ROME WAS RIGHT! We
established this nation, AND MADE FOOLS OF OURSELVES! ROME WAS RIGHT!
But was she? How did we get as confused as we are now?
This nation was around for over 200 years. It passed many years when
it was recognized as a stable fortress and a bastion of freedom. It
was considered the most secure nation in the world, and there was a
time when it was the undisputed superpower of the world. WHAT HAS
HAPPENED SINCE?!! What happened was that certain "changes" began to
take place. Did you not see and hear people preach to us that
DIVERSITY IS THE SECRET OF OUR STRENGTH?? Did you not notice people
around who were plainly not happy until we had all kinds of different
views?? Who are they, and why are they here?
Haven't you noticed that seemingly all of a sudden we see people of
influence and authority coming in and telling us we must have
different ideas about everything? Even in church we notice that it has
become a terrible burden for members to have all kinds of differing
and conflicting ideas. In both church and state the necessity for
diversity is all consuming. Those of influence and authority in both
church and state therefore urged us to be different and to be diverse
in everything--ESPECIALLY IN DOCTRINE AND MORALS which also
encomp***** political theory and decision making. What are they up to?
The truth is that they often flaunt diversity of races and cultures,
but that is not their real target. They merely use diversity of races
and cultures as a coverup in order to appeal to you to accept another
kind of diversity which is their real target: diversity over doctrine
and morals: What is right and what is wrong. There is nothing wrong
with having multiple cultures in any country. That, however, is not
what the plan is. Those who are pu****ng multiculturalism for change,
really do not give a hoot about multiculturalism. They have another
agenda up their sleeves.
Do not be fooled. The great hype now created in all our trusted media
and institutions for racial and cultural diversity is unexplainable
outside of a conspiracy. For your information, in the United States of
America, racial and cultural diversity was always prevalent, and was
never anything new. There was never any big hype about it practically
until the late 80s and 90s. Immigration here was always big because it
was a nation which provided freedom from oppression. Just go visit the
Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, and observe the pictures taken of
the people who worked to construct it. You will find that most of them
were immigrants. The Brooklyn Bridge was built in the 1880s. Yet with
all this hype over racial and cultural diversity, we are given the
impression that this is something new. Don't believe it! All this hype
over diversity of races and cultures is to bring in another kind of
diversity designed to weaken the nations. That is where all this
relativism comes from.
Is it true that Protestantism could have proved that indeed the Bible
in the hands of the common people itself can provide peace, sure
direction, a stable society and unity? Why would anyone have a burden
to teach us to think differently or to have different ideas? Why would
anyone not be happy unless they create an environment of confusion
with gray areas? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THE SECRET TO THE CHANGES
TAKING PLACE IN SOCIETY TODAY, THE SECRET TO THE DECLINE OF OUR
SOCIETY, THE LOSS OF POWER OF THE CITIZENRY FOR GOVERNANCE AND
GOVERNMENT, THE CRIME WHICH TORTURES OUR NATION AND THE FORESEEABLE
ECONOMIC COLLAPSE LIES IN A CERTAIN AND VERY COMMON EXPRESSION WE HEAR
MOST EVERYDAY. THAT EXPRESSION IS:
DIVERSITY IS THE SECRET OF OUR STRENGTH!
--probably one of the biggest lies in the history of the earth! Since
the inception of this principle we have seen nothing but trouble!
What could be wrong with such an expression you say?
