On Easter: Have Joy and Go to Work
26 March, 2008
As a child, "Good Friday" seemed a paradox. What can be good about the day one is tortured and murdered by his enemies? But the words attributed to Jesus' mouth say otherwise. He said His kingdom was spiritual one therefore it cannot be here on earth, as so many "Christians" now wrongly believe; if it were, we would have nothing to do for Him!
Jesus needed to shed his earthy body. It was only used for a little while to teach us. His kingdom began on earth when his body died. It is logical that He is a silent spirit among us, to lead those who will listen to him through words he left.
If to the contrary, Jesus was to have an earthly kingdom, as Christian Zionists say, he could have grabbed a human weapon and mowed down the Pharisees who condemned him along with enough of the Roman Legions to cause Pilate to depose Herod and install Jesus as "King of the Judeans." After all, this is what His followers expected in spite of all his teaching to the contrary.
What makes Jesus so believable to me is that He plainly told them the agenda but no one believed him until after he was crucified. Jesus said to Pilate "my kingdom is not of this world" and he expects us to believe it and act like we believe Him.
Jesus' most remembered words are about making peace. But man's nature is to enable those who make war. Jesus did not die for Christian-Zionism, which preaches a wrong doctrine of a warring Jesus that they expect to return on a white horse with a monster sword in his hands to dispatch most of the human race. We humbly believe God must see Christian-Zionism as the vilest apostasy in the 2000-year history of Christianity.
Our mission is to rescue followers of Christ from the apostasy called Christian-Zionism, and its sly forerunner that goes by the name of Judeo-Christianity, also an oxymoron.
We try as best we can to reach out to the "lost sheep" inside our churches that do not know they are lost. They will remain lost if they listen only to their apostate religious leaders.
Our purpose is to point the ancient way to the "Strait Gate." Christian-Zionism, by whatever name, is not that path and is purely a political movement.
We ask Christ followers to be Peacemakers in His name, and reject the evil of warring on behalf of Israel, or any other state. We invite you to join us in taking joy in Jesus' sacrifice. It seem all too obvious that Jesus left a role for us to play here on earth. We could not accomplish it if He was here carrying out justice with a club.
Follow Christ, Reject "Christianity"
24 March, 2008
The evangelical churches stated reason for attacking Islam is Muslim “militancy.” The Christian Right’s leaders managed to read far enough into a Qur’an to find passages about conflict with other tribes in the 7th Century when the book was scribed. Islamic militancy is the standard line of defense by dispensationalist pastors. They learn from the successful patterns of their Celebrity Christian mentors.
The more aggressive Celebrity Christians now use the term "Islamic fascists" a new favorite fad term at the “Christians United for Israel" first "Washington-Israel Summit" as Dan Jennejohn reported:
“Amidst plenty of the celebratory song and dance usually associated with evangelical meetings and a three-course meal was served to over 2,000 attendees, a series of prominent religious and political speakers got up to promise unquestioning support for the state of Israel.”
No evangelical I have ever met admits that he is at open war against Islam, it is always Islam who is the aggressor, and he is acting out of enlightened self-defense.
Pat Robertson told his “700 Club” audience that he traveled to northern Israel in a show of support for the Jewish state. In every modern case the battle is being fought on Muslim turf. Muslims were invaded first, not the other way around. Gaza, the West Bank, Iraq, Lebanon, Chechnya, Bosnia, Kosovo are a few good examples of Muslim holy wars where they were invaded, and every battle has been fought entirely on Muslim territory.
The World Trade Center is offered as an exception to the rule, but it is falling increasingly under question as history plays out the facts that have been denied to us. Today’s Christian Right leaders expect the rest of us taxpayers to hire mercenary armies of Israelis and our own all paid military to kill Muslims for them.
“Christian” leaders like Pat Robertson amass huge fortunes and from politically favored NGO’s (non-government organizations) to dip into the taxpayers’ contributions when reconstruction time comes to Iraq and Palestine and Afghanistan. We pay for Pat’s share of our mercenary armies, while he and John Hagee enjoy tax-exempt status at almost every level. At least the Muslims fight and die in there own wars on their own lands. For instance, Muslim Iraq, which is very poor indeed, has pledged 60 million dollars of its diminished oil revenue to support Hezbollah in Lebanon. . If Iraq gives the money it is Muslims sacrificing for Muslims, with a minority of non-Muslims who can scarcely object.
Conversely, the American Congress, under heavy lobbying pressure from the “Christian Right” and the Jewish AIPAC pledged $2400 million (2.4 billion dollars) in military aid annually to Israel. According to the polls about 85% of Americans still think they are in some way “Christians” but the leaders of the churches who do the lobbying for war are virtually 100% exempt from payment of property and income taxes, state and federal, so Celebrity Christians do not participate in the cost of the wars they enable. We American non tax-exempt taxpayers pay for the wars of the Christian Right, fought on Muslim soil.
Conversion of the hungry and orphans, by offering food with prayers attached, is no different than conversion by the sword, which “Christians” accuse Islam of doing.
What makes some “Christians” so bloodthirsty toward Muslims?
“Israel is the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy,” therefore, “Christians” feel they must support the prime enemy of Islam, Israel. "Christianity" has become associated with Christian-Zionism, an American invention. Jesus would challenge it, as he challenged the Pharisees of his day. Christ followers do not hate or kill, “Christians” do.
Why Should America Honor Israel
11 March, 2008
Pastor Dan was waiting with a sign adorned with two Israeli flags reading “AMERICA STANDS WITH ISRAEL” when I arrived. Thus my question, “For what noble act would you honor Israel?”
I asked Pastor Dan least a dozen times to give me one good reason why any follower of Christ would honor Israel while we stood holding opposing sign in front of his church. Christian Zionism is beginning to collapse, and disintegrate it must because the words of Jesus are anathema to the acts of political Israel. Pastor Dan did not tell me what scriptural course he sailed to arrive at the link between political Israel and Jesus Christ, but I am going to make a very good guess, and I will invite him to comment.
Pastor Dan will assert that his “salvation” depends exclusively upon his acceptance of Jesus Christ, and it is here his course becomes very confused. For Dan also believes he has an absolute responsibility to love political Israel but with slightly less reverently than Jesus. John Hagee contends America’s “blessings” come from our loving care for Israel. Word of Life Christian Center defended political Israel by holding up some thirty signs and an estimated 90 Israeli flags in front of its church when Project Strait Gate appeared. Secular thinkers might view Pastor Dan’s logic to be legally and historically topsy-turvy.
For by no stretch of logic can one credit a 60 years old political state that borrowed the name “Israel,” with the advent of Jesus 1900 years earlier. Some of our religious readers will be tempted to dismiss Pastor Dan as a harmless. But that is sadly wrong on both counts. Some 60 million Americans think much like him, and he is part of a group that is much better organized than their critics are.
This is reminiscent of the popular and catchy Nashville ditty of slight-of-hand genealogy of the 1950’s, “I Am My Own Grandpa.” Some of our a-religious readers will be tempted to dismiss Pastor Dan as a harmless. But that is sadly wrong on both counts. Some 60 million Americans think much like him, and he is part of a group that is much better organized than their critics are.
The long list of those who reject “Israel first” theology probably includes most of the professors at Bethel Seminary where Pastor Dan graduated in nearby St. Paul, which is associated with the old Baptist General Conference.
Christian Zionism is a tool used by others, including the State of Israel, to engulf America in serial wars. It is up to those who understand it to expose it. And at the same time we need to remind the Mainline churches that they have timidly and politely allowed Jesus’ name to be rubbed in the filth of political Israel.
"Balance of Power" Means Murder
11 February, 2008
Beginning in the 18th century, Great Britain focused intently on protecting and expanding its worldwide empire by seeking always to maintain a "balance of power" among civilized nations. Hence the numerous British wars against France, for example, in the 18th and 19th centuries, and myriad ever-changing alliances with all sorts of nations throughout the period.
British obsession with this balance of power reached its peak in 1914 with the outbreak of World War I. From the British point of view the Great War was fought to reduce the growing power of a unified, highly industrialized Germany. That millions of men would die in muddy trenches for such selfish goals is testimony to the importance of the "balance of power" concept in the minds of its adherents.
Today another nation, our own, practices the old British approach to international relations, attacking other nations whenever they begin to get too uppity.
Today’s list of uppity nations earning the attention and sometimes the bombs of these New Imperialists include Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Yugoslavia. And the list of enemies and friends is just as fluid as it was in the heyday of the British Empire.
Thus Iraq and Afghanistan received military support in the 1980s, only to be attacked in the present. And dirt-poor Sudan, thanks to its huge undeveloped oil reserves, finds itself the victim of economic sanctions imposed by the USA, bombing attacks and invasion, solely because the New Imperialists fear it may become a stronger regional power.
Some leaders clearly believe it is better that thousands of innocent children starve and die than to allow a Third World nation to develop and disturb their sacred balance of power.
Who is this New Imperialist who attacks and befriends nations with Machiavellian gall to maintain a British style "balance of power"? Israel, with the help of its $5.5 billion per year sugar daddy the United States, plays an important role.
For an understanding of the influence wielded by the State of Israel upon the US Congress and our foreign policy, read the book review of One Nation Under Israel.
Prison Break from Gaza, A Glimpse of A People Scheduled for Starvation
30 January, 2008
The unheralded news from the rest of the world, including BBC, is never without compelling reports from a little place called Gaza. Gazans for the first time face slow starvation; Hamas members face selective execution. Israel has more direct political clout and media coverage in Washington than any other nation. Therefore, only Israel can move to starve an entire population while Congress and the press looks on. The US press makes the people of Gaza irrelevant by ignoring events there.
Recent rare news clips have exposed for the first time, the wall that separates southern Gaza from Egypt for about four miles. It is worth noting that neither Egypt nor Gaza built this wall. Israel built it when it took over policing of Gaza's small south border with Egypt. . Israel managed the Rafah Gate when I went there in 2003. In 2005 Egypt took over managing the no-man’s land by agreement with Israel.
Egypt’s Gaza wall has, according to Hamas, Israeli cameras and computers in place monitoring everyone who comes and goes, identifying and remotely scrutinizing each face. Egypt is compelled to cooperate with Israel, making it more or less a jail keeper.
When the Gazans breached the wall, the USA was quick to tell Egypt that $100 million in US Aid to Egypt would be suspended, pending its forcing the Gazans back inside their bottle. Only about five percent of the Gazans broke out into Egypt Monday, January 21, 2008. If Egypt does not do so, it will face the combined wrath of the USA and the pit bully of the Middle East, nuclear Israel.
What is the USA’s plan for the 1.4 million Gazans? Israel has also made it clear the Palestinians can have a state of their own, but only if Israel has the power to police it, as they police Gaza and the West Bank now. Therefore, there is no place in Israel’s plan for 4 or 5 million Philistines with dreams of self-determination. Israel’s ambition is for virtual slave labor camps that are pretend states. Prior to its uprisings, Gaza provided thousands of day laborers for Israel’s fields and factories. This is what Zionists in Israel wants.
Former Prime Minister Arial Sharon had offered to conduct an annihilation of every Arab, if political Israel could stand the international pressure from his acts. He was dead serious and he is far from the only Israeli leader who believes this way.
The economy of the Gaza society has been systematically destroyed by isolation. Israel’s plan is no secret; it is simply cushioned by our press and politicians. Israel allows no equality for other religions, nor do non-Jews participate, except under its Apartheid-like control, so there will be no shared state unless the world forces a democracy upon Israel.
Israel has systematically forced Palestinian attrition from the occupied lands for 59 years-- attrition by emigration for those able to leave, and attrition by violent death for thousands who stay. Our research reveals that food burning now assures widespread world famine. With this going on, Israel might get away with starving the Philistines while the media focuses attention elsewhere on bigger tragedies. So huge is the problem we see that a million missing Philistines might be overlooked, lost in the shadows of a worldwide tragedy… a tragedy that may someday be remembered in infamy as "The Famine of the Food Burners." Shall we stand idly by and allow it?
Ethanol: Burning Food, the Path to Global Famine
17 January, 2008
Why is inflation running away with everything on the kitchen table? One huge reason is industrial food burning. Over 200 ethanol production plants are subsidized to manufacture a colorless liquid many think they would like to drink, but few want to use in an automobile because it is inferior to gasoline.
Alcohol factories’ appetite for food-to-burn is literally insatiable, so commodity prices cannot seek normal market levels, as they always have in the past when temporary high prices took care of short supplies. The giant food burning mechanism is evil by nature in that it is already causing massive unnecessary starvation and death. About 60% of the corn produced in Iowa in the 2007 fall’s harvest will be turned to auto-alcohol, even though it is generally accepted (as our report details) that ethanol requires more petroleum to produce than it gives back in energy!
Because this is a moral issue, it is one that Christ-followers must take seriously. Even if you and I may think we can afford to buy food, regardless of its cost, we should be concerned for the tens of millions condemned to be the new starving people. Worst of all, American consumers are forced to finance the Burning Food Famine with massive subsidies most of us don’t even know we are paying. We must pay a second time in high produce prices, from milk to bread. Meat will probably be the next item in your basket to rise much higher.
We Hold These Truths’ original 4500 word paper was released on September 27, 2007, under the title, Corn-to-Ethanol: US Agribusiness Magic Path To A World Food Monopoly. We searched the Internet and found it on well over 100 websites in several countries and languages, with broad interest, from cooking and gardening, to family sites, educational, political, and some mainline religion sites. No one has seriously attempted to refute either our facts or conclusions. Politicians ignore them.
Burning food, primarily corn, is an issue most people can feel and some fear, and it saddened me to have to write it. I am dismayed to note that not one candidate for President has raised Burning Food as an issue (though I believe Ron Paul voted against all the subsidies). The lobby for Burning Food must indeed be ominous to cow every candidate!
Wheat prices have run up 300%, much of this in the last year. The affect on the very poor can be understood by considering the example of 1.5 million humans (not to mention animals) imprisoned in plain view of the world on an island cage called Gaza. They are dependent on wheat that is literally elevated over the wall to them dropped in their cage. Gazans could not survive but for the largess of humanitarians, including the United Nations food charities. But now the donated dollars buy less than 1/2 as much wheat as one year ago.
Will the Gazans learn to live on a fraction of their former diet, or will one of every two go hungry? The facts are they are already documented to be starving. This is the legacy of burning food. Literally thousands of tribes in Central and West Africa already feel the Burning Food Famine, the diabolical path to global famine. Many normally eat corn that now must be imported, and that costs almost $5.00 per bushel in Chicago.
We trust this update will lead many to read the whole report, some 4500 words of careful research and the conclusions of scientists. Please redistribute it to schools, church and polling place. Printed copies are available.
Our only honorable course is to force politicians to remove the subsidies given to industrial ethanol plants. A quick and decisive end to all ethanol subsidies will stop the Burning Food Famine overnight.
Warning: Killing ethanol subsides may require a revolution, and perhaps it is time. This is a moral issue, and the majority of Americans who are professing Christians have a responsibility before God to not to allow corporate and political plunderers to cast a pall of planned starvation over the planet. Leaders in Christian churches have become quite political; demand they help fix the problem of starvation that they have allowed by giving carte blanche support to those most responsible for it.

Behind Matthew Murray’s Church Executions: More Blood on Judeo-Christian Hands
12 January, 2008
Matthew Murray may be the first known assassin to aim his weapons at Judeo-Christians because they were Judeo-Christians. He was an insecure, deeply disturbed young man in need of counseling, if not treatment, of this there seems little doubt from Matthew Murray’s own writings. There is much to be learned about Judeo-Christianity from Matthew’s recorded diary left on blogs. Murray’s well-documented blog posts reflect a frustrated and incomplete knowledge of Christian-Zionism and some of its roots in Israel and neo-conservatism.
Matthew did not write about those who die daily because of Judeo-Christianity’s support of war and its own form of bizarre Israel-first racism. We are fortunate that Matthew’s thoughts are uniquely available. Murray said he could forgive his mother, but he deeply resented Judeo-Christian institutions that influenced her. Matthew’s crime siege began at a student dormitory of the mission organization called YWAM located on the huge campus of Israeli-patriot, mega-church, Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada, Colorado. It is likely the blood Matthew Murray and those he senselessly assassinated is also on their hands.
Matthew chose to turn away from Jesus and toward violence. It seems Judeo-Christianity was force fed to Matthew, as it has been spoon fed to tens of millions, but Matthew says he got it 24 hours a day. Without a good understanding of why Judeo-Christian churches worship George W. Bush, Israel, and the Republican party, those like Matthew can only revolt from the neo-conservatism of Judeo-Christianity, and many mistakenly abandoning anything associated with Jesus Christ in the process, as they come to blame Christ for the corruption of Judeo-Christianity.
Seven months before this writer heard of Matthew Murray, fifteen We Hold These Truths’ volunteers, about half of them teenagers and college students, challenged that same Zionist-oriented Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada Colorado with a Vigil for Peace with Justice outside its doors. Our 30 square ft. black on yellow sign read:
"APOSTATE CHURCH, CHRIST FOLLOWERS MUST NOT KILL"
There we protested the church’s hypocrisy in claiming to be “pro-life” while backing warmaking in Islamic countries. Inside the church the rhetoric of guest speaker John Hagee, of Christians United For Israel, called for more war to protect Israel, even suggesting nuclear war in God’s name on Iran. Matthew Murray needed to known that this race-related hatred is not Christ following, but is church apostasy. Matthew's blogs indicate he was tormented by the man-made theology he was raised to believe.
Matthew's killing spree ended after a two-hour drive south to the Christian Zionist New Life Church in Colorado Springs. Church leaders at both churches were quick to announce they did not consider Matthew’s acts to be “God’s judgment”, though charismatic leaders are often quick to label catastrophic events as God's punishment. Matthew had detected this hypocrisy; it is sad that his family did him this discredit.
Matthew’s blogs describe Bill Gothard’s education program as full of impossible rules. Matthew did not know how Judeo-Christian “bible scholars” have reinterpreted Mt: 25 in the Scofield Reference Bible and other study bibles, so Judeo-Christians will not take these important verses seriously:
“In as much as you have done it unto the least of my brothers you have done it unto me.”
It is impossible to follow this and in the same breath support war on Islam, so Matthew 25 is simply left out of Judeo-Christian Bible vocabularies. It is no surprise to me to learn Matthew was rejected from the YWAM mission program, for much as he wanted to be a missionary, he was not a Judeo-Christian. Naturally YWAM would reject him, Judeo-Christianity allows no questioning from within.
What 17 year old Matthew needed was a big yellow and black sign he could hold up in front of the church that reads:
"APOSTATE CHURCH, CHRIST FOLLOWERS MUST NOT KILL "
Matthew needed a mission, which is what Mt: 25 tried to teach him, but not for YWAM. Our purpose is to point the ancient way to the "Strait Gate"(Matthew 7:13). We humbly believe God must see Christian-Zionism as the vilest apostasy in the 2000-year history of Christianity. Its sly forerunner goes by the name of Judeo-Christianity. I do not know where Matthew Murray was on May 20, 2007, when that small group, several his own age, stood in quiet protest in front of Faith Bible Chapel. Had any one of our 15 or so volunteers had but a half-hour to talk to Matthew, this story might have ended differently. Most of us can explain our own escape from Judeo-Christianity. We know its history; we know its errors; we know its awful results.
The state of Israel is the “Judeo” in “Judeo-Christian. This is the Israel that Matthew Murray was suppose to revere if he wanted to be a missionary holds 5200 Palestinian children in prison cells today, some as young as eight years old. Each day it arrests two more children. Some are girls, kept detained, where no one except their jailers can see what is done to them. There are no limits to the terror and abuse that security guards are allowed to inflict upon them, much of the rape and brutality is encouraged, as former guards have told. Only a small part of Israel’s brutality to children has ever been filmed, but it is know. Children have been driven to suicide in these prisons, and some even after they are released.
Dealing With Christian Zionists Inside Our Own Churches And Families
08 January, 2008
John wrote in frustration about a reply he received from his pastor in response to his letter about the church’s lack of concern for the ongoing slaughter in Iraq. John sought an answer to two scriptural references and the pastor’s reply was entirely secular. This big church pastor ignored Jesus and the Apostle Paul’s words. Instead, he told John how evil Saddam Hussein was, that Islam must be stopped, and that the State of Israel is an example of why all wars are not evil.
War-favoring, war-excusing, and war-enabling church leaders usually avoid New Testament scripture because there is no justification for killing anyone in it. We are often asked how one can pick a church to attend that is not Judeo-Christian. Christ followers, by our label, generally believe that Jesus is the fulfillment of biblical prophesies, mostly fulfilled in the first century AD, when Jesus came, taught, set up his earthy discipleship, was crucified under the will of the Pharisees, and arose from the dead.
By contrast, Judeo-Christians may believe all or part of what Christ followers believe, but they have an added layer superimposed over the top, like frosting on a cake, that holds to the notion that the physical, political State of Israel is the fulfillment of God’s Old Testament prophesies (in addition to Christ). In order to make room for Israel as sort of an extra deity, most Judeo-Christians accept the explanation that Jesus left unfinished worldly business behind that will require His return to manage an earthly kingdom for 1000 years.
It is not your writer's place to decide if Jesus will return earthly king; there is some Biblical evidence both ways and Jesus did not firmly say no. I would like to think Jesus never left. Unfortunately most pastors, even those in traditional churches, have been influenced by the opulent worldly success of the Judeo-Christian churches. Many cannot identify with a poor and humble Jesus and penniless apostles, and have compromised.
Fred, as I will call the lead pastor, is a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary, and calls himself a “Christ Follower.” The audience responded positively, Pastor Fred is clearly not promoting more war from the pulpit. So far so good, right out of scripture... the traditional view of Jesus, who could be more traditional than George Frideric Handel? Jesus' kingdom is "not of this earth" as he told Pilate, but is a spiritual one.
Except for this one Judeo-Christian admission Pastor Fred appears to be a traditional Christ follower. What is the damage in believing Jesus will come back to earth for a 1000 year reign of goodness and justice? First Jesus does not say this; it is implied by some aggressive assumptions.
Judeo-Christianity is a great mega-church builder because it relieves us of the burden Christ placed on us of following regardless of the cost of inconvenience. Judeo-Christianity shifts the burden back to God. Judeo-Christians have only to confess that they believe in Judeo-Christianity (not simply Jesus), an apostate concept.
In dealing with pastors and church leaders, it is we, the laymen critics, who must force them to stay scriptural, even when they try to lead us into a secular story. We must not allow them to drag us into secular arguments like those John's pastor raised. Only in this way can we change them, and change our churches, and protect those we love from them.
The Lesser of Two Evils...Is Still Evil
10 December, 2007
This seven-year-old story, by your Editor, may help some avoid repeating a tragic mistake in the 2008 election. Some think the mistake was to accept Mr. Bush... it was not. The mistake was, and still is, to accept anyone backed and acceptable to the "Neo-Cons," as our International banker dominated, Zionist, power structure is called today. In 2000 I called them "Israeli Patriots" and they still are.
Every major Republican candidate in 2008, plus Democrat Hillary Clinton, seem quite acceptable to the "Israeli Patriots." The sole exception is Ron Paul, who is clearly an anathema to them. They do not seem to care which candidate gets elected, so long as it is not Congressman Paul. On the Democrat's side, the jury is still out and deliberating on Barack Obama, the only electable Democrat the establishment seems not quite ready to trust.
In printing this shortened version of our old story, your author does not apologize for disrespectfully calling our current President "Baby Bush" because he was not yet elected, though we were quite sure he would be. Short version:
The Lesser of Two Evils...Is Still Evil
The term "Lesser of Two Evils" has been used to describe George Bush Jr. by many of those who consider themselves Christ following, pro-American, Pro-Life patriots. Most knew that Bush was a political fledgling a decade ago when his more famous father was busy forcing a reluctant and weak Republican Congress into endorsing the Gulf War, to be commenced at Papa Bush's whim. Baby Bush was then only beginning his serious political career in Texas after finishing his riotous early manhood. It is not our purpose to rehash Baby Bush's past or Papa Bush's war. Instead, we will examine briefly those who control this, the most manipulated and malleable President ever to hold such vast power.
History has given us other weak and controlled leaders. Bill Clinton is not weak, but he was controlled. He might be likened to the Roman Emperor, Nero. There is only one Nero (Claudius Caesar Drusus Gramanicus) who commands an ignominious place in the sad history of the decline of Rome, but whose brutal persecution catalyzed the first growth surge of Christianity. He was characterized by a strange combination of fanaticism, incompetence, insanity and perversion. It is also believed by many that he converted to Pharisees during his reign, which may account for his obsession with the tormenting of the early Christ followers.
To say George W. Bush had an undistinguished youth is an understatement. The upcoming Bush Administration is likely to be the most controlled and manipulated administration ever. Bush himself is a competitor for most incompetent man to ever achieve the Presidency. His is also likely to be a planned one-term president for reasons to be discussed in future editions. What is vital to discuss is to whom he owes his allegiance.
Unfortunately Bush's geopolitical incompetence has nothing to do with his capacity to do evil to our country, for the more vacant and underachieving the President, the more manipulated he is in the hands of his advisors, and the more dangerous to us.
There is nothing incompetent or undecided about Bush's advisors. Powerful and ambitious men, most of whom shaped his fathers Gulf War-making administration, already surround baby Bush. And unfortunately there is absolutely nothing in George W. Bush's character that suggests he will resist, or even understand the nature of the evil he will be asked to pronounce upon those who they envy and hate.
The Israeli lobby completely dominated and controlled the Clinton Administration, and it appears it is equally in control of the new President-elect. As we pointed out in, the term "Israeli Patriot" means any office holder or advisor who qualifies by birth for the right to dual citizenship in the State of Israel under their "Law of Return". Baby Bush is surrounded by Israeli Patriots, including Shultz, Perle, Zoellick and Wolfowitz, to name only an obvious few. About half of his advisors are Israeli Patriots. Clinton at least had the excuse for appointing Israeli Patriots that he got most of their votes.
What is Baby Bush's excuse for allowing Anti-Christians to dominate his choices? Voters should ask the New American and similar publications, "Who really runs the Republican Party?" Moreover, Gentiles who have long histories of Israeli partisanship who are practiced in the art of warmaking will heavily influence Bush administration. His Vice President, Richard Cheney, was Papa Bush's Secretary of Defense during Desert Storm, and James Baker, who has been a prominent spokesman for George W. Bush during the Florida vote count fiasco, was on Papa Bush's war team as head of the White House Staff. Dr. Robert Blackwill was a State Department Assistant to both Kissinger and George Schultz, so his allegiances can hardly be doubted. Richard Armitage also is a veteran of Papa Bush team and was an Assistant Secretary of State in 1983-89.
Those who influence Bush are experienced gross assassins, and a disproportionate number are Israeli Patriots by birth. Someone has assembled a most arrogant and ruthless tribe of anti-Arab, pro-Israel, anti-Christian Warmakers to advise (if not to dictate) the foreign policy for Baby Bush. The clear evidence of this lies in the conduct of the Gulf War, which was a slaughter of the innocent, and which has never stopped. The Bush cabinet will no doubt be made up of unrepentant killers who were his father's advisors.
And for a better understanding of who really runs the American policy of systematic liquidation under William Jefferson Nero Clinton, we suggest you examine Divide and Disarm, The Warmakers Plan for Yugoslavia. (http://whtt.org/index.php?news=2&id=239)
Every one of the six members of the Yugoslavia war team--Berger, Albright, Rubin, Holbrooke, Cohen and Matthew Kuhn Clark--were eligible for Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return, an amazing non-coincidence indeed.
As long as there is a Middle Eastern conflict in which Americans pay for the subjugation of the Palestinians, we will be drawn into other wars to destroy the Arabs, as in Iraq. We taxpayers are the hired gun in Israel's War on Islam. Baby Bush stands to be used as a warmaking tool perhaps more brutally than Mr. Clinton was. The "Lesser of Two Evils" is still evil.
The Pastor and His Son "Why Do We Support Israel?" Part 2
28 November, 2007
Fast-forward 6 years where Pastor Haigen's son is now a freshman in college.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Hey son, your mother and I are so happy to have you home for a while. Would you like to attend the Rally for Israel tonight at our Church?
SON-Ugh, um, I don't think so.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Why not? Do you have plans?
SON-No dad, I don't, but I can't say I am a big supporter of Israel, so I don't think I could contribute any cheers to your rally.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Well, I'm very sorry to hear that. I've always had the fear that college would have a negative effect on you. What are you going to tell me next, that you're now an atheist?
SON-Dad, I haven't stopped believing in Christ. I just don't see the whole Middle East situation the way you do.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Didn't we discuss this when you were younger? Have you forgotten the Christian reasons behind the support for Israel?
SON-I haven't forgotten them. I don't think they ever made sense to me.
PASTOR HAIGEN-How's that?
SON-To start with, I never understood who decides who is a blessed seed of Abraham with land claims and who is not.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Let me try to simplify it. Jews, whether direct blood descendents or converts, carry Abraham's blessing. Nobody else. It's the word of God.
SON-Paul says in Galatians 3:29, "If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." But I know you don't believe Christians have a valid land claim in Israel/Palestine.
PASTOR HAIGEN-That's right, only Jews.
SON-But why can't Christians make the same claims?
PASTOR HAIGEN-Because we're not the seed of Abraham in the same way Jews are.
SON-Then why does Paul refer to us as the seed of Abraham? Isn't the book of Galatians the word of God?
PASTOR HAIGEN-Look, we are Abraham's spiritual seed, but not in the way Jews are.
SON-So what you're saying is Jews, even those who deny God's existence, are more Abraham's seed then devout, practicing Christians?
PASTOR HAIGEN-God made a covenant with Israel and swore loyalty to her.
SON-Who is Israel?
PASTOR HAIGEN-Abraham and his descendents.
SON-So who decides who is a descendent of Abraham and who is not?
PASTOR HAIGEN-For the purposes of immigrating to Israel, the Israeli government
SON-But I thought you said they don't require people to document their ancestors thousands of years back to Abraham?
PASTOR HAIGEN-It's up to them to decide who qualifies as a Jew and who does not. If they recognize a person as a Jew, he can immigrate to Israel. If they don't, he cannot.
SON-So your saying that a group of people who claim an exclusive connection to Abraham, without any proof required, are the arbiters deciding who is a descendent of Abraham and who is not?
PASTOR HAIGEN-I guess you can look at it that way, but I don't think it's biblical.
SON-Why? As Christians, Paul says in Galatians 3:29 that we are the seed of Abraham, which we believe to be the word of God, and you say we have no right to the land. And what about the Muslims' claimed connection to Abraham?
PASTOR HAIGEN-As for Muslims, I don't believe in Mohamed, the Koran, or any of their beliefs. Therefore if they claim to be descended from Abraham, I don't believe it so I don't believe they have a right to the land. As for Christians, I can't imagine that God meant hundreds of millions of people when he said he would gather his people from the ends of the earth and bring them back to Israel. Christianity originated in the land of Israel and Palestine, but we never lived there, so it makes no sense that God would gather us together and send us back.
SON-I thought many Jews were converts of European descent. Why would God send them back if they never lived there?
PASTOR HAIGEN-I guess it's because once they converted to Judaism, it's assumed their connection to Abraham is as good as blood. If a conversion is good enough for the Jewish rabbis, it should be good enough for Christians.
SON-So basically, it the rabbis who decide who has a connection to Abraham valid enough to be entitled to the land.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Son, I really do not like your tone. You are coming across as anti-Jewish to me. Don't forget, Jesus Christ, our lord and savior, was a Jew - he was king of the Jews.
SON-What about the Crusaders, were they Christians?
PASTOR HAIGEN-The Crusaders slaughtered many innocents in the name of Christ and called themselves Christians. But certainly they would not be considered Christians by our standards.
SON-Then how do we know that all Jews who call themselves Jews are truly Jews as Abraham and Christ were Jews? Because they go by the same name and CLAIM a legitimate connection? So self described "Jews", who cannot prove to be descendents of Abraham, who deny Christ, and many of which deny the very existence of God, are supposed to be given our full support, both morally and financially, to take by force the land of a people, some of whom are Christians, who CAN prove they have lived in the land of Palestine for centuries?
PASTOR HAIGEN-I see your point. But don't forget God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:3, "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Are you willing to doubt that Jews are the exclusive descendents of Abraham and risk God's curse?
SON-I don't understand. It sounds like God was speaking directly to Abraham, and giving a warning to those who would bless or curse Abraham, not every potential descendent he may have into perpetuity.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Where do you come up with these interpretations? That IS NOT how this verse is generally interpreted.
SON-So the validity of an interpretation is dependent on how many Christians accept it? Can't the majority be wrong since interpretations of scripture have changed over the centuries?
PASTOR HAIGEN-They can be, but that's why we pray to Jesus Christ to give us wisdom in interpreting the word of God.
SON-Oh.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Do you see now?
SON-Not quite. What does it mean for us to bless the descendents of Abraham?
PASTOR HAIGEN-To give them support: Morally and financially.
SON-Unconditionally?
PASTOR HAIGEN-Well, of course not. We should not support them if they commit acts of evil. But we do have to be careful withholding anything from them, because they are always fighting for their survival. They are surrounded by millions of people who want to see their country destroyed.
SON-But I read that Israel has something like the 4th or 5th strongest military in the world. They have hundreds of nuclear bombs, and weapons that are just about as advanced as that of the U.S. Enemies who want them destroyed may surround them, but their neighbors are hardly able to carry out these wishes even if they wanted to.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Look son, Israel is not perfect, but I truly believe that God has blessed us because of our support for Israel.
SON-How's that dad?
PASTOR HAIGEN-Look at how rich and powerful our country has become.
SON-But Israel wasn't even created until 1948. Decadence, promiscuity, corruption, divorce, and crime have skyrocketed since 1948. I'm not saying this is due to our support of Israel, but I fail to see what blessings have come our way since then.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Although we have our problems, we've been blessed. Most of those problems you've mentioned are a function of our turning our back on Jesus Christ, not due to our support for Israel.
SON-But if your interpretation of scripture is correct, we should be blessed for blessing the seed of Abraham, regardless of our relationship to Christ. God didn't say you must follow my son and bless the seed of Abraham to be blessed. He said, "I will bless those who bless you." I sure can't think of any blessings, unless you consider 9-1-1 a blessing.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Wait a minute. I think 9-11 happened because of our sin. God took his hand of protection off of this nation due to our sin: Sexual deviancy, immorality, and general ungodliness.
SON-But if God wanted to punish us for our sins, he could have caused a massive earthquake or other natural disaster. The fact remains a disaster didn't simply befall our country, it was attacked by Arab Muslims who have a long list of grievances against us, many surrounding our unconditional support for Israel.
PASTOR HAIGEN-So you think God has cursed us for our support for Israel?
SON-I'm not saying I know God's plan regarding 9-1-1. But if our country and the church have been deceived, and our unconditional support for the nation of Israel isn't in accord with God's wishes, 9-1-1 very well could be a message from God. Surely the attack of 9-1-1 has more connection to our policies in the Middle East then our general ungodliness.
PASTOR HAIGEN-Look son, even if you disagree with my theology, don't you think the Jews deserve a homeland because of their horrible suffering in the Holocaust?
SON-First, I don't think they have the right to make a false claim on another people's land due to their own suffering. What about the Armenian genocide that took place in the 1920s at the hands of the Turks? Why don't they get a homeland? And what about Tibet, which has been virtually destroyed by the Chinese? Why don't we support them?
PASTOR HAIGEN-Those things are terrible, but it's not the same. The Holocaust is unique.
SON-Why?
PASTOR HAIGEN-Because Hitler tried to rid the entire continent of Europe of Jews, and the number of Jews killed was in the millions.
SON-Stalin tried to rid the Soviet Union of non-communists. He purposefully starved to death at least 20 million people. Why is that less horrible?
PASTOR HAIGEN-Well, we can't try to right every wrong. But Israel is home to God's chosen people. God promised the land of Israel and Palestine to the Jews.
SON-I give up. I think were back to where we started.
Our Thanksgiving Prayer
21 November, 2007
We Hold These Truths' Advisors thank God for encouraging us through His people. We, like the Pilgrims in 1621, are still here, and we are still able to focus on our dream and purpose.
Many of you, in your way, have been a part of our efforts with your own work and prayers. We are now in our 10th year of organizing exposure of the roots of the Christian-Zionist problem, as we foresaw when we started. Now many see it from various prospective, we are no longer alone, but in many ways we are still in the lead.
We are particularly grateful to those who have answered our call to stand with us at one or more of our now over 60 vigils at churches and organizations that included the Southern Baptist Convention, Promise keepers and John Hagee's "Night to Honor Israel" in four different cities. As our friend Mark, who experienced his first vigil, told me after challenging Hagee's Cornerstone church at our San Antonio vigil, "this is the deep end of the pool." Mark is right, and he and you are brave; it is not easy, but it works because it honors God.
Thanks also to our contributors and especially the sacrificial widow's might friends, who cannot afford it but do it anyway. And thanks to everyone who has bought a book or tape. Our limitations are financing and volunteers. We can do much more.
To me Thanksgiving is America's most honorable custom. In its true context it dates back to 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Those still alive on that day in November offered grateful thanks to God for the gifts only He could give them. They honored God's promise to love them if they honored him, not just about a free land or a first harvest, but in an eternal peace when life is gone.
I looked at a painting of the earlier Jamestown colony, and I was surprised to see only men in the picture. It was a businessman's colony, a commercial endeavor. But not so with the Pilgrims at Plymouth, they had the courage to bring wives and numerous children on the Mayflower, sailing in the dead of winter. A good number of them were buried at sea. Only 41 (men only) signed the Mayflower Compact just before they left the ship. But don't forget the women were there, and that is why Plymouth is so special!
The issue for the Pilgrims was religious freedom, not commerce. They came to the North American wilderness from Europe, bringing nothing with them but dreams of escaping persecution in their former land.
In their Christian practices they were different from some of us, but basically it was the same faith in Jesus Christ, believing that if they sacrificed life itself it was not the greatest loss, believing that God could be trusted to provide an afterlife better than a frozen and hungry Plymouth existence. Their belief in God's grace is the unique reason they took the risk.
In observing the 1621 Thanksgiving it should be noticed the Pilgrims had very little physically to celebrate. Their first year was a bum crop; they faced six months of winter with not nearly enough to survive. These few appeared have almost nothing to give thanks for, except that they were still alive.
The first feast day was a very humble one, and depended upon the goodwill the settlers had earned from the native Indians because, it seems, they acting in a Christ-like way toward the Indians.
Some who prayed those prayers of thanks did not survive the long winter to follow. They honored God for what little they had, counted on Him to bless their dream of a land where they could raise their children and reckoning that life is God's great gift and life after death is his great promise.
Let us keep that faith and celebrate God's gift of life, and let us show a will to spend that gift in a way that honors him, if need be, as the Pilgrims did.
My best on Thanksgiving,
Chuck Carlson
Polls Sell A U.S. Attack On Iran
14 November, 2007
The campaign to bomb Iran is centered on the Bush Administration's stated desire to do so, supported by the establishment media, the Israeli Lobby, and the voting power of the Christian Right. Public opinion polls are playing a major part in bending Americans to accept, if not endorse, an attack on Iran. Polls are being used, if not designed, to bend opinion toward an attack.
Examples are found in a recent Gallup poll on Iran, paid for by USA Today, and a Zogby Poll on Iran. The press brazenly distorted both telling readers and listeners that the majority of Americans favor a preemptive attack on Iran. Second, Judeo-Christians are the most feverish fans in support of war in the Middle East and an attack on Iran. The Zogby poll identified them as "born again." The Judeo-Christians' cheerleaders call themselves "Christian Zionists". The total number firmly in favor of bombing Iran appears to be about 26%, and is shrinking.
Zogby made a well-publicized interview with Tucker Carlson of MSNBC dated October 31st, in which he allowed himself to be part of an interview that concluded, "A slim majority favor a U.S. attack on Iran." More damaging yet, Zogby also editorialized that the American people seem to be about as much inclined to bomb Iran as they were to hitting Iraq five years ago.
Most polls are commercial business, including Zogby's. A spokesman for Zogby International, Fritz Wenzel, told this writer that a client did not pay for this poll. Zogby made his statement on MSNBC, and concluded that 52% of Americans support bombing Iran. Tucker Carlson responded that he was "stunned" because the vast majority of Americans now oppose the war in Iraq. Zogby responded to Tucker Carlson's "stunned" disbelief by explaining briefly that the 52% assumed bombing was for the purpose of preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons.
The tip-off that Zogby was skewing the results of his own poll is that he failed to recite the exact question asked by the poll of 1,028 persons. The Zogby International Website does not display the actual question asked in the poll.
If you don't know the question what good is the answer?
Zogby's website summarizes the poll: "a majority of likely voters - 52% - would support U. S. Military strike to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon." Choices: (Very supportive, somewhat supportive, not very supportive, not at all supportive, no opinion)
It is no surprise that 26% of Americans would be in favor of bombing Iran because there are about that many Christian Zionists, plus a few Jewish Zionists and Arab Zionists, plus Israel favors bombing. What value is "somewhat supportive" of bombing Iran if and only if it is to prevent nuclear weapons?
Question (7) in the poll was never mentioned by Zogby, but reveals a very strong negative to any bombing even if Iran is found to have nuclear weapons. How convenient is Zogby's language for President Bush, who says he wants to make a "surgical strike" against Iran. The mainline Neo-Con sympathetic press, starting with MSNBC, is shaping Zogby's conclusions to support bombing. It chose this headline: "Most Americans Support Strike."
It is no coincidence that about the same percentage (26%) were "very supportive" of bombing Iran, and by reading Zogby's own poll we can clearly state a slightly greater number outright oppose war, some 28.8%. This Zogby poll confirms what we already know, that Christian Zionists ("born again" in this poll) are the rabid public fans in favor of more devastation in the Middle East.
They are most of the 26% of voters who support bombing Iran. They should naturally choose life, not war. Our best hope is that slumbering mainline churches, and their dormant common sense for self-preservation are already at work awakening them.

Ending Our Plague
12 November, 2007
Americans are sick with an intentionally spread disease far more deadly than anthrax. Our Plague has symptoms: constant wars and the dilution of our wealth are the two most deadly. The mystery of how the plague was spread engendered terror. "Plague" became a uniquely feared word in our language. Fleas that lived on immune rats carried the Plague. When humans got too close to the rats they were bitten by infected fleas and soon died a terrible death, and the rats had more to eat; they were unseen, hiding everywhere. Our plague has two faces and its own special rats.
Someone is methodically stripping our money of its value. We are, it seems, helpless to stop it. Pharisee Watch calls this financial plague "dilution," because someone is causing our hard-saved dollars to be watered down. War goes hand in hand with dilution. The planners of Serial Wars are like child molesters; they never stop; they're always plotting. Plague-makers repeat their war crimes as long as the public does not revolt over the killings. War is a business they cannot allow to stop. Serial wars are perpetual paydays for them.
Serial Wars also steal the minds of our children, numbing them to killing, a generation at a time. Wars are teaching them that life is cheap. Military camera footage caught on open ground in the dark the appalling sights and sounds of two young Americans who had received permission to execute three Iraqi men. The callous dialog of the two young Americans, with their sights locking onto the infrared images of humans, should chill your blood.
It feeds the drug importers and porn industry, collapses sexual morality, fuels the abortion mills and crack houses; job problems and anger are anti-family symptoms of the Plague. To pay for their wars, the Plague-makers print money and pay it to their allies. To hide rising prices (caused by diluted money) they sign treaties that lower labor costs, forcing emigration of stable jobs.
The war promoters also deliberately discourage industry at home with regulations that don't apply abroad. The lower priced, cheap-labor stuff we buy provides the illusion that we are not sick. The service economy is vulnerable, unstable. The illusion that the Plague does not exist is the cruelest part of the hoax. In order to further hide the cause of the disease, the Plague-makers have purchased control of virtually the entire media.
Newspapers, TV and talk radio, most of Hollywood and both political parties. All of these openly campaign to justify more serial war. The Plague makers chose to make China an ally, and Islam was elected as the war target. In 1992, the Plague-makers published and obscure map, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) World Peacekeeping Map, and on it was the locations of future wars, even Bosnia. Your writer bought the map; it called for war on Islamic states.

Who Is Guarding the Oil Well Guards?
31 October, 2007
Should we pull out or stay, should we 'cut and run' or finish the job we started." We hear every reason examined and discussed...every one except the real reason, oil. And please notice; we never see the oil wells or plants in Iraq.
None of the reasons for staying make much sense when given a little thought. For instance, we are supposed to believe it is not macho to walk away from a fight we have started. But we citizens did not start the fight with Iraq and they did not start it with us, our government started it on purpose, and citizens suffer for it and pay for it. Not one elected American official has died in Iraq to my knowledge. And with all the publicity why is it we never see and oil well doing what they do? We don't see them being attacked nor do we see who guards them.
We could tick off the reasons we are told for the wars one by one, but you already know them, you hear them every day too...except for the one real reason that makes perfect sense.
The real reason for staying in Iraq, the one we are never told about, has to be involved with oil because that is what Iraq does, it produces oil. Oil is the national business of Iraq; it is a series of scattered giant oilfields with sand poured on top! Why else would the 200,000 men solders be there?
Fox News presented a shocking but all too typical example of how oil-o-phobia infects Democrats, the Administration, and the big media with chicken virus on Sunday, December 4. News host Chris Wallace interviewed neo-war opponent, Democrat Barbara Boxer and Presidential Security Adviser Stephen Hadley.
Chis Wallace hurled creampuff questions at the guest about Iraq. The pat logic for staying was debated. One of several silly argument is, "We owe it to the Iraqis to finish the job of democratizing them," inane because the country is now in civil war over our presence. But the one real reason for staying is never uttered by any side, OIL, oil, oil. Not one reference was made to any oil related word, such as petroleum on the Chris Walace show; you would not know oil exists. If you find this hard to believe, so did I, but it's not even unusual, it's the norm in press encounters.
When someone is trying to fool you the first thing they lie about is their motive. If you can be convinced the Warmakers has a noble motive, you may have forgiveness and even support. You may even defend the liar for having good intentions even when he is caught red-tongued, if there seems to be no evil motive. The Warmakers can't justify their motive for being in Iraq so they hide it under a media blackout, and the press also must forget there is oil in Iraq, so powerful is the force of their purse.
WE STAY TO PROTECT THE INTERNATIONAL OIL INDUSTRYThe USA and our British partner cannot pull out because the industrial companies our leaders have placed in charge of the oil fields all over Iraq can not hold the territory without our troops. Our 200,000 soldiers have to keep 15 million Iraqi's imprisoned in big city gulags so the people don't bother the folks who control and guard the oil field.
If our leaders withdraw our military, Halliburton, the Seven Sisters, and hundreds of their illegitimate brats who are profiteering in Iraq, would all have to go home? The people of Iraq have shown that they are willing to die for what they consider theirs; the Warmaker's private armies do not have the stomach for such a conflict without our full military support.
Simply stated, the revolt against the occupation, called insurgency is a revolution to get back the national wealth of the country. Oil and water are the natural assets of Iraq. Every Iraqi benefited in some way from oil, even under the petty tyrant Saddam Hussein who was a small time assassin compared to our own Warmakers.
But few Iraqis have benefited from the oil under Halliburton. Gasoline cost as little as $.05 per gallon before Shock and Awe, yes, I mean five cents a gallon. Now there is a gasoline shortage in Iraq, and the production is way down. Our leaders have proved they don't care if the Iraqis have a civil war and kill each other, while they are contained and kept busy in the cites guess who is harvesting the oil in the desert? Do you need proof that our troops stay to protect the oil profiteers?
Ask yourself when did you last see a press report on or a film about the oilfields in Basra or northern Iraq, or anywhere else in the country for that matter?
The answer is probably "never." This writer has not seen one since the 1991 withdrawal from Kuwait when we saw distant panoramas of burning oil wells on the horizon as far as the eye could see. Then, for a brief moment in history, we saw an image of what the real Iraq should look like. Then, Brown and Root, Halliburton and others, came in to put out the fires, and the Warmakers have never left. It makes one suspicious of who started the fires, I think Saddam started them, but could I be mistaken?
We occasionally hear about an attack on a pipeline, but where is the color photo of these attacks? Why don't Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney pose for photo ops beside a drilling rig, refinery or pumping station in what is the second largest oil reserve in the world? The answer is simple. They don't want you to think about the wealth of Iraq.
If the news media does not show oil (or is now allowed near it) and our President does not mention it, it does not exist. Then there is no motive for perpetuating an American created civil war in a cage. Please also note that with all the Democrat political neo-objections and anti-war posturing, not one congressman I know of has dared to bring up the oil motive. Democrats also voted for the war, and they look to war business for their reelection.
To buck the war is politically acceptable, so long as appropriation of the oil fields is not mentioned as a motive for having gone to war. It is also taboo to say we went to help Israel, which is now participating in the plunder.
To Halliburton, the Seven Oil Sisters, and all the armament makers, Iraqis oil fields are very real. The "War on Terrorism" is too good a deal to just walk away from. Our controlled press is also afraid of Halliburton, the seven oily Sisters and their slick lesser brats. Don't expect your TV anchor to tell you we are staying the course to make Iraq safe for Wall Street's Warmakers enterprises and international bankers.
Blackwater Corporation mercenaries are paid at the rate of about a $1000.00 per day to watch the black stuff flow from the ground, as it flows in few other places in the world, at a production cost of only pennies per barrel. No wonder industrial America wants you to guard their newfound empire, acquired with bombs and bullets you paid for.
Answering our own questionThe last time you saw Iraqi oil wells on your local TV channel was in 1991 when Saddam Hussein was blamed for setting about 200 wells afire as his men fled Kuwait. Remember, they lighted up the sky for miles. Yes, it is time to cut and run, cut our military death losses and the Warmakers' profits.
What can one person do in the face of unspoken collusion among industry, media, and both political parties with the intent to deny us knowledge of our government's motive for its crimes?
None of the reasons for staying make much sense when given a little thought. For instance, we are supposed to believe it is not macho to walk away from a fight we have started. But we citizens did not start the fight with Iraq and they did not start it with us, our government started it on purpose, and citizens suffer for it and pay for it. Not one elected American official has died in Iraq to my knowledge. And with all the publicity why is it we never see and oil well doing what they do?

When someone is trying to fool you the first thing they lie about is their motive. If you can be convinced the Warmakers has a noble motive, you may have forgiveness and even support. You may even defend the liar for having good intentions even when he is caught red-tongued, if there seems to be no evil motive. The Warmakers can't justify their motive for being in Iraq so they hide it under a media blackout, and the press also must forget there is oil in Iraq, so powerful is the force of their purse.
WE STAY TO PROTECT THE INTERNATIONAL OIL INDUSTRYThe USA and our British partner cannot pull out because the industrial companies our leaders have placed in charge of the oil fields all over Iraq can not hold the territory without our troops. Our 200,000 soldiers have to keep 15 million Iraqi's imprisoned in big city gulags so the people don't bother the folks who control and guard the oil field.
If our leaders withdraw our military, Halliburton, the Seven Sisters, and hundreds of their illegitimate brats who are profiteering in Iraq, would all have to go home? The people of Iraq have shown that they are willing to die for what they consider theirs; the Warmaker's private armies do not have the stomach for such a conflict without our full military support.
Simply stated, the revolt against the occupation, called insurgency is a revolution to get back the national wealth of the country. Oil and water are the natural assets of Iraq. Every Iraqi benefited in some way from oil, even under the petty tyrant Saddam Hussein who was a small time assassin compared to our own Warmakers.
But few Iraqis have benefited from the oil under Halliburton. Gasoline cost as little as $.05 per gallon before Shock and Awe, yes, I mean five cents a gallon. Now there is a gasoline shortage in Iraq, and the production is way down. Our leaders have proved they don't care if the Iraqis have a civil war and kill each other, while they are contained and kept busy in the cites guess who is harvesting the oil in the desert? Do you need proof that our troops stay to protect the oil profiteers?
Ask yourself when did you last see a press report on or a film about the oilfields in Basra or northern Iraq, or anywhere else in the country for that matter?
The answer is probably "never." This writer has not seen one since the 1991 withdrawal from Kuwait when we saw distant panoramas of burning oil wells on the horizon as far as the eye could see. Then, for a brief moment in history, we saw an image of what the real Iraq should look like. Then, Brown and Root, Halliburton and others, came in to put out the fires, and the Warmakers have never left. It makes one suspicious of who started the fires, I think Saddam started them, but could I be mistaken?
We occasionally hear about an attack on a pipeline, but where is the color photo of these attacks? Why don't Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney pose for photo ops beside a drilling rig, refinery or pumping station in what is the second largest oil reserve in the world? The answer is simple. They don't want you to think about the wealth of Iraq.
If the news media does not show oil (or is now allowed near it) and our President does not mention it, it does not exist. Then there is no motive for perpetuating an American created civil war in a cage. Please also note that with all the Democrat political neo-objections and anti-war posturing, not one congressman I know of has dared to bring up the oil motive. Democrats also voted for the war, and they look to war business for their reelection.
To buck the war is politically acceptable, so long as appropriation of the oil fields is not mentioned as a motive for having gone to war. It is also taboo to say we went to help Israel, which is now participating in the plunder.
To Halliburton, the Seven Oil Sisters, and all the armament makers, Iraqis oil fields are very real. The "War on Terrorism" is too good a deal to just walk away from. Our controlled press is also afraid of Halliburton, the seven oily Sisters and their slick lesser brats. Don't expect your TV anchor to tell you we are staying the course to make Iraq safe for Wall Street's Warmakers enterprises and international bankers.
Blackwater Corporation mercenaries are paid at the rate of about a $1000.00 per day to watch the black stuff flow from the ground, as it flows in few other places in the world, at a production cost of only pennies per barrel. No wonder industrial America wants you to guard their newfound empire, acquired with bombs and bullets you paid for.
Answering our own questionThe last time you saw Iraqi oil wells on your local TV channel was in 1991 when Saddam Hussein was blamed for setting about 200 wells afire as his men fled Kuwait. Remember, they lighted up the sky for miles. Yes, it is time to cut and run, cut our military death losses and the Warmakers' profits.
What can one person do in the face of unspoken collusion among industry, media, and both political parties with the intent to deny us knowledge of our government's motive for its crimes?
"Kill On Sight" A Christ Follower
24 October, 2007
Killing the wounded and bombing civilians is a policy from the U.S. An imbedded journalist traveling with a U.S. Marine squad that was cleaning up hours after the so-called fighting photographed a point blank murder with full sound and voices. Televised images of marine fatally shooting an unarmed, wounded insurgent in a Fallujah mosque were repeatedly broadcast on Arab TV.
The byline called the helpless man a "combatant". The Marine's recorded voice reveals that he did not fear the man, that he considered him less than human, and that he thought it his right to kill him. In another documented incident, four Iraqis were killed by Marine rifle fire in a crowded mosque in Baghdad on Friday, November 19th, while praying. This disgusting act by Marine X in Fallujah was absolutely predictable by anyone who bothered to read the pre-attack statements of our leaders.
Permission to murder innocents was telegraphed by several Marine commanders before the invasion started. Every statement emphasized massive killing. How can we expect more humanity from Marine X? Every professional soldier commander, every political war maker, and every Judaized Christian leader who supported the war and made Fallujah possible shares the blood guilt on the hands of the men in Iraq, including the near idiot who committed the terrible deed on camera.
This Marine X is not a fluke; he is the rule. We know who murdered one man, but who killed the 100,000 other Iraqi civilians buried in and under and around the destroyed homes of Iraq? The press works its subtle distortion in the face of indisputable evidence. It fails to make the obvious point that Marine X's act can only be the tip of the iceberg of thousands or tens of thousands of slaughtered Iraqis since the onset of "Shock and Awe", a name intended to imply unimaginable destruction and brutality.
From the highest levels they use the "Kill" word when speaking of Iraqis. One Marine Colonel, who sounded like a Baptist preacher, was quoted as saying:
"The enemy has got a face. He's called Satan. He lives in Falluja. And were going to destroy him."
No cameras or reports were allowed when the original killing force went through the mosque killing everyone in sight and leaving this one victim for dead. "Battalions like ours are coming from behind, going house-to-house killing guys" said a US marine, Lt. Michael Prato. Blame the Christian and Jewish leaders who reelected Bush and his war plans by registering and driving Bush voters.
The Christian leaders who rallied their people for Bush did so under the terribly mistaken belief that carrying out the will of Israel's brutal leaders is their duty to Israel. Let those who agree with us withdraw support from the pro-death churches now. Even if you choose to go back to help change the friends you've left behind, withdraw all financial support.
