Politics

---

Through the past one-hundred years, Americans have been blaming Communism, Socialism, terrorism and Islam for perceived declines in American culture. Although the landscape has changed and America is not the same as it was at the beginning of the 20th Century, these “Ism’s” are more symptomatic than problematic. Fascism in any form is the enemy of freedom-loving people.

The sources and motivations of the Fascists might be surprising to any but the most ardent history buffs or conspiracy theorists. The dots exist. They just need to be connected for the casual observer. Paul Warburg, one of the Founders of the Federal Reserve System was a German born member of the Warburg banking family. He was also an architect of the Council on Foreign Relations and an adviser to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Some of Warburg’s motives for being politically active might be revealed in a statement his son made to Congress. On February 17, 1950, James Paul Warburg stated, “We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether world government will be achieved by conquest or by consent.

The CFR is also deemed by many researchers to be an Illuminati organization. The name Illuminati is translated to “bearers of the light” and Lumen derived, from Lucifer, ancient “angel of light.” The Illuminati went underground when they were outlawed in Bavaria into the existing secret organization of the Freemasons.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Most of what we see in politics is an array of smoke and mirrors. We adhere to party affiliations and use labels such as, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican to define our views or limit and discredit those with whom we perceive differences. Jim Marrs has a different view. He states, “Party politics, slogans, and social issues are employed to distract the masses. The world’s elite deal in only one commodity – power. They seek to gain and maintain the controlling power that comes from great wealth, usually gained through the monopoly of ownership of basic resources.”

He further states, “Politics and social issues matter little to the globalist ruling elite, who move smoothly between corporate business and government service. The desire for wealth with its attendant power and control drives their activities. It is this unswerving attention to commerce and banking that lies behind nearly all modern events.”

Finally, Marrs concludes, “It is the basis for a ‘New World Order’ mentioned by both Hitler and former president George H.W. Bush.” (Jim Marrs, The Rise of the Fourth Reich, HarperCollins Publishers, New York, 2008, pg. 7)

You can watch George H. W. Bush, September 11, 1991, and hear him refer directly to “A New World Order” in the speech.

Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, on July 18, 2009, addressed the CFR. She said: “Thank you very much Richard. And I am delighted, to be in these new headquarters. I have been often to, I guess, the mother ship in New York City, but it’s good to have an outpost on the Council right down the street from the State Department. We get a lot of advice from the Council, so this will mean I won’t have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future.”

Dick Cheney, said, “It’s good to be back at the Council on Foreign Relations. As Pete mentioned, I have been a member for a long time and was actually the director for some period of time. I never mentioned that when I was campaigning for re-election back home in Wyoming.”

BIBLE AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Of course established government officials, bankers and political pundits dismiss the above connections as “conspiracy theories." If Glenn Beck discredits Bilderberg Group or Bohemian Grove to his listeners, you know the king builder groups are not hoaxes. Like the government, his plausible deniability speaks volumes to credit his opposition. Do the research on secret societies with an agenda. Check the multiple links that surface with the above videos if you choose to watch them.

In Matthew 24, Jesus instructs His disciples about some of the events that will occur toward the end of times. He said:

“Many will come claiming to be the Christ.” (verse 5).

“You will hear about wars and rumors of wars. (verse 6).

“Nation will fight against nation and people will go hungry.”(verse 7).

“Then people will hand you over to be treated badly and killed.” (verse 9).

“Many people will turn away from their faith. They will hate each other. They will hand each other over to their enemies.” (verse 10)

“Many false prophets will appear who will fool many people.” (verse 11)

“Because of lawlessness, most people’s love will grow cold.” (verse 12)
Do most of these verses sound like: (1) things that are happening around the world today; (2) the plot of a conspiracy theory movie; or, (3) George Orwell’s 1984? If Jesus predicted these events, how do we go from the prediction to the manifestations in America without somebody’s patient and careful planning over the centuries? These things do not occur over night. Revelation also speaks of a one world government and monetary system and the mark of the beast.

Isaiah 8:12 states, “Do not call conspiracy what they call conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear and do not dread what they dread.” Why did the Bible tell us to distinguish the difference? Could it be that Jesus knew the conspiracies leading to his Matthew 24 prophecies were symptoms of the problem?

Man continues to treat man with contempt because of Jesus. Man warring against man is not the issue. Paul instructs the church of Ephesus about this problem. It is a spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12)

Paul also talks of the mystery of the church in Ephesians 3:9-11, “…and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to rulers and authorities in the heavenly places, that was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Finally, the disciples that were with Jesus were expecting Him to establish a kingdom on earth. They thought it was a political kingdom that would be won through the political leadership and military might of God’s army. He instructed them over and again they did not understand the Father’s purpose.

Even when Pilate gave Jesus another chance to defend Himself, He said, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But My Kingdom in not of this world.” (John 18:36)

The hidden mystery of church is: to save sinners; call the nation to repentance and revival; speak the truth; and bring to light the mystery through spiritual warfare. It is not to seek military and political means of restoring America. As Christians, we are to lay down our lives to prepare for God’s kingdom, not kill others to maintain our standard of living and establish our own kingdoms.
