It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

From Freedom to Servitude - Part 1
The Power and Perversions of Laws
http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/009/1-servitude.htm
By Berit Kjos - March 27, 2009

"Watching the markets... two interlocking phrases immediately come to mind: Ordo ab Chaos, and Crisis Equals Opportunity. Ordo ab Chaos is a Latin phrase and the motto of the Thirty-Third Degree of Freemasonry.[1] It means, 'Order out of Chaos.'”[2] Carl Teichrib

"Never waste a good crisis." Hillary Clinton [see video]

"...the financial crisis will lead to the creation of a global central bank and a global single currency within 15 years."[3] Stephen Gallo

“Once a nation parts with control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes that nation’s laws.”[4]  W.L. Mackenzie King [former Prime Minister of Canada]

"I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God... and the curse, if you do not obey...." Deuteronomy 11:26-28

During the Nazi occupation of Norway (1939-1945), my father joined the Norwegian resistance movement and was willing to die for his country. But when the post-war years brought creeping socialism, he became increasingly disillusioned. Finally he chose to immigrate to America, which shone like a beacon of freedom and opportunity across Europe's war-torn lands.

Entering New York's harbor some years later, we gazed in awe at the Statue of Liberty. But even as we ate our first hamburger soon afterwards, America was  changing. Dwight D. Eisenhower, our war-time hero, was now president. John Foster Dulles -- a founding member of the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) -- was his Secretary of State.

Like most Americans, we had no idea what was happening "behind the scenes." We didn't know that Dulles had been a Trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation -- or that he collaborated with Alger Hiss, an active member of the Communist Party, and had helped draft the preamble to the UN Charter back in 1945.[5]

Nor did we realize that our Secretary of State had chaired a 1942 Federal (later renamed National) Council of Churches conference. In an article titled Conforming the Church to the New Millennium, I summarized the conference report. While Hitler's armies were ravaging Europe, the Council used that devastating crisis as an opportunity to promote its agenda:

a world government of delegated powers
immediate limitations on national sovereignty
a [single] democratically controlled international bank
a universal system of money
worldwide freedom of immigration
even distribution of the world’s natural wealth.[6]
Does that sound familiar? Apparently that last point didn't originate with Obama!  Even Time magazine was shocked! Here's its summary of the report:
“Some of the conference’s economic opinions were almost as sensational as the extreme internationalism of its political program. It held that a ‘new order of economic life is both imminent and imperative' – a new order that is sure to come either ‘through voluntary cooperation within the framework of democracy or through explosive political revolution.’”[7]
Considering Alger Hiss' influence within the Council of Churches and friendship with Dulles [See note], it shouldn't surprise us. His Marxist goals fit right into a church establishment already infiltrated with socialist ideology.[8]  In spite of his Marxist aims, he served President Roosevelt both in the State Department and as his adviser at the 1945 Yalta Peace Conference, where much of eastern Europe was handed over to Stalin. His leftist ideology may even have prompted his assignment as the Secretary General of the United Nations Charter Conference in 1945 -- and, later, as president of the multimillion dollar Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.[9]

In our UN Chronology, you can follow the hidden threads toward world government. Notice that today's radical "change" simply means that we are nearing the completion of goals set long ago. As President Thomas Jefferson said,

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms [of government] those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”[10]

It's true! Unscrupulous leaders have traded the solid guidelines of our Constitution for evolving laws that conform to global standards and human greed. Since the Constitution was written for a nation that valued God's moral guidelines, it crumbled under the pressures of power-hungry globalists, financial transnationalists, and the deceptive promises of pragmatic socialists. They all saw God's unchanging Truth as an obstacle to their success.

To understand this radical shift, let's take a closer look at the three sets of laws that have influenced this nation -- both for good and evil.

1. Our Constitution with its Promise of Freedom

Whether Christian or not, most of our nation's founders based the Constitution on God's moral law. They knew that freedom to follow God would be essential to future prosperity.

In his 1796 Farewell Address, George Washington exposed the main threats to the authority of the Constitution:

"Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion [i.e. Christianity] and Morality are indispensable supports. ...[V]irtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government."[11]

Washington concluded with warning about the "mischiefs of foreign intrigue," the lure of "imaginary common interest," and the consequences of failure to "prevent our nation from running the course, which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations." In other words, if we don't follow God's ways and guard the foundations of this nation, it will be destroyed -- just like the Roman empire.

2. Evolving Laws and Global Treaties (See Total transformation)

True to socialist ideology, our current administration seems determined to control every aspect of life: speech, beliefs and values, education, food, health care, money, the way we serve God or each other, etc. May we, like the early disciples, have the courage and strength to "obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29)

Most of us are familiar with the various new bills (omnibus, stimulus, budget, etc.) loaded with earmarks that Obama had promised to purge. Costing taxpayers trillions, they seemed designed to deepen, not resolve, the current financial crisis.

But that apparent fiasco fits the plans of socialist change agents such as Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. They -- like Obama four decades later -- knew how to engineer a crisis that would 'force change through chaos.'[12] Former federal prosecutor James H. Walsh explains their Marxist manipulations:

"Cloward and Piven held that poor people can only advance when society is afraid of them.... Their strategy to create political, financial, and social chaos that would result in revolution blended Alinsky concepts with their more aggressive efforts at bringing about a change in U.S. government. To achieve their revolutionary aims, Cloward and Piven sought to use a cadre of aggressive [community] organizers assisted by friendly news media to force a re-distribution of the nation’s wealth.....

"New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani called the Cloward-Piven Strategy 'an effort at economic sabotage.'.... Cloward and Piven were joined over the years by nouveau billionaires led by George Soros. Through his Democracy Alliance, they funded ACORN.....

"On the horizon are proposed taxes led by the Obama-sponsored Global Poverty Act that would tax every U.S. man, woman, and child $2,500 for a total of $845 billion to help the United Nations eliminate global poverty. The goal remains the same, to redistribute the wealth of the nation."[13]

In other words, social engineering is changing America along with the rest of the world! For example, Obama's Global Poverty Act calls for communitarian partnerships between the --

       1. Public sector (government, which writes the laws and sets the standards)
       2. Private sector (business, which supplies resources)
       3. Social sector (civil society, especially churches, which provide human servers trained in political correctness).
This three-legged system would be governed by globalist elites. Unlike communism, such a communitarian system would allow people to "own" their property, but both ownership and ideology would be governed, assessed and tracked through laws and regulations based on unthinkable global standards aimed at worldwide social solidarity. After all, Obama has agreed to "stepped up US-UN cooperation."[14]

Our old Constitution-based laws are rapidly being replaced by new laws that end virtually every freedom that we have treasured. This transformational legal system fits the UN's rising body of international laws as well as the 67-year-old vision of John Foster Dulles. But is this what Americans want? Or are most people too distracted by entertainment and Huxley's "feelies" to notice? Take a look at the road ahead:

a socialist world government to "coordinate" the crisis and guide the solution [See The emerging New World Order]

drastic limitations on national sovereignty [UNESCO's War Against National Sovereignty]

a [single] democratically controlled international bank and a universal system of money. [One World, One Money]

open borders and global migration based on UN decrees. [The UN Plan for Global Migration]

redistribution of the world’s wealth. [Smiling at Socialism & Scorning the Bible][15]

In this new system, "We, the people" of America will no longer count. Our government -- elected to serve us -- will become our 'masters.' Ashley Mote (an independent member of the European Parliament) shows us what happened in Europe, the model for the other planned "regions" under the UN:

"Even the EU's public face - the unelected commission - is part of the charade. Power does not lie with them. It lies with the senior staff running their departments.... We do not know what their budgets are, how they are financed, or who approves their costs. Indeed, we do not even know what powers they have been given, nor by whom.... The other 24 commissioners, each appointed by the other member states... are figure-heads. They take the flak in the public arena, and make announcements decided for them by their senior staff, with the guidance of the secret committees....

"The European Parliament sits below this vast superstructure... designed to create an illusion of accountable democracy. A condescending pat on the head for voters held in contempt.... In effect, the left has said to the multinationals: you can have your markets stitched up for you, if we can indulge ourselves in endless social engineering. Big business has agreed. The result is a largely supportive parliament both from the left and right of the political divide. The 'Americas' is moving in the same direction!"[16]

3. God's Unchanging Law and Judgments

The old Christianized Europe leads the way. Rejecting its Christian foundations, it has filled its spiritual vacuum with forces far greater than it can control without total repression. Ponder this recent example:

"A few years ago, the left-wing London Guardian newspaper called Sweden the most successful society the world has ever known. But Sweden today is being rocked by a large influx of Muslim immigrants.... Wide-open immigration policies... have made Malmo, which is now one-quarter Muslim, one of the most racially divided cities in Europe. Most Muslim immigrants are concentrated in one district, where the male unemployment rate is 82 percent. Crime affects one of three families in the city and **** has tripled in 20 years.... In one housing project in the district, fire and emergency workers will no longer enter without police protection.

"Malmo has been so accommodating toward immigrant Muslims that a local Muslim politician and imam has even declared, 'The best Islamic state is Sweden!'... Right-wing Swedish Democrats, who support limits on immigration, have been stigmatized by the left-wing Swedish media as fascist and bigoted.... 'I think the best prediction is that Sweden will have a Muslim majority by 2049, so we know where that country’s going.”[17]

America is marching to the same tune -- right into the embrace of the planned world government.
 
While most Americans still call themselves Christian, few can define the gospel or explain the holy character of the God they claim to know. Churches have replaced Biblical Truth with energizing entertainment, and Biblically illiterate members are being trained to follow group consensus, not the Word and ways of our sovereign God.
 
At a time such as this, we ought to "tremble at [God's] Word' [Isaiah 66:2] and fall on our faces before Him! For unlike us, our mighty Lord doesn't change! His laws are operational as well as eternal. The world may ignore them, but it can't escape the consequences. As He told us through Moses over three thousand years ago:
"...when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them... your heart is lifted up and you forget the Lord your God. ... you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
"...if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods... you shall surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God." Deuteronomy 8:10-20

Demonstrating a patience that far exceeds mine, he told His beloved Israel, “'In returning and rest you shall be saved. But you would not." The rebellious people refused his gracious invitation. (Isaiah 30:15) So has most of the Western world.

Today that call still rings out: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:28) What will we answer?

"I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved." Psalm 16:8

From Freedom to Servitude - Part 2
"Service Learning" through Soviet Brainwashing
http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/009/2-servitude-brainwashing.htm
By Berit Kjos - April 20, 2009

"Lenin outlined a program for an active participation by both children and adolescents in the building of socialism.... Socially useful work should serve as a school of collectivism."[1] Nadezhda Krupskaya, Lenin's widow and fellow-revolutionary

"...expand and strengthen service-learning programs through year-round opportunities ... in order to renew the ethic of civic responsibility and the spirit of community for children and youth throughout the United States."[2] Serve America Act (GIVE, H.R.1388), signed into law on April 21.

"Brainwashing is a system of befogging the brain so a person can be seduced into acceptance of what otherwise would be abhorrent to him. ... Facts and fancy whirl round and change places."[3] Edward Hunter, Brainwashing

"O our God... we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You." 2 Chronicles 20:12

Last March, North Dakota gave us a heart-warming demonstration of traditional voluntary service -- in minus 20 degree weather. As the rising Red River threatened to flood Fargo, willing volunteers gathered by the thousands. Before long, they had filled and stacked over 2 million sandbags to barricade the city against the raging waters. Christians prayed for victory over the forces of nature, and by God's grace, the make-shift dikes held.

About 6,000 volunteers of all ages had simply followed their conscience, worked together and met the need. Unlike President Obama's plan for government-directed "service," neither prayer nor God's comforting Truths were banned. Volunteers weren't hindered by trained facilitators and unconscionable boundaries. As the flood subsided, they were free to thank God together for the amazing victory.   

Traditional American volunteerism and self-giving service has served people around the world. But it may soon be replaced with a government system of mandatory service and re-education for all ages. Obama's signature on H.R. 1388 "Serve America Act," [See 2] will usher in a new era. While people of all ages will be recruited, the main focus will be on the youth. Words such as "uniforms," "youth corps," campuses" and "boarding" [i.e. "grouped together as appropriate in campuses for operational, support, and boarding purposes" SEC. 1516] bring memories of totalitarian government-controlled youth service.[4]

"Service learning" -- the heart of this evolving program -- is grounded in Soviet ideology. Banning Biblical sharing, it reflects Communism's "dialectical materialism" and notorious "re-education" camps. Its basic formula is simple:

1. Immersion into a group [collective] environment with diverse beliefs and values. For decades, our government has been guiding migration and assessing cities on their success in building "unity in diversity," i.e. social capital."[5]   Such facilitated oneness may sound benign, but the manipulative methods used to build socialist values undermine both personal freedom and family-taught convictions.

2. Dialogue led by facilitators trained to manipulate the diverse groups of servers (with their assortment of values) toward a new consensus. Edward Hunter's 1956 book, Brainwashing, gives us this glimpse of Communist mind control,

"They went about this in the 'democratic discussion' manner; this was the new principle of unanimity [i.e. consensus] ....  What was truth anyway? Nobody knew. What was false? ... Everyone couldn't be wrong. Could they? Weren't they all one team? A collectivity?"[6]

3. Practice (practical experience) that seals the dialectical group teaching in the minds of idealistic servers. Lenin understood this formula well. He said,

"...the young people shall engage in the practical solution of some problem of labour in common.'"[1]

The Soviet History of Service Learning

Today the seeds of Soviet ideology are sprouting across America. Truth, facts, logic and discernment fade -- drowned by a flood of mind-dulling, time-stealing trivia and distraction and choked by the tempting tentacles of dialectical compromise.

Lenin's Soviet education system was largely organized by Nadezhda Krupskaya, his personal companion, "co-worker," biographer, and "the founder of Soviet pedagogics." In her book, On Labor Oriented Education and Instruction, Krupskaya describes the roots of Soviet mind control:

"Lenin... said that the young generation should evolve a new, communist morality that would subordinate personal interests to general ones... that the younger generation should know how to achieve solidarity in their struggle.... Being a member of the Youth League means devoting one's labor and effort to the common cause...."

"The joint work of children should be particularly valued because it is the embryo of collective labor. ... If we attribute an educational role to socially useful work, then all children must be involved in it."

"...voluntary labour, irrespective of quotas, is labor performed without expectation of reward.... performed because it has become a habit to work for the common good."[1]

Remember, all Communist/Socialist labor was government controlled. Private enterprise and personal initiative were quenched, and all were forced to submit to the government-defined "common good." Within decades, Biblical morality had been replaced by sexual license and moral depravity, and personal despair.

After the second World War, young John Noble was trapped in the Soviet gulag system. Though an innocent American citizen, he was sentenced to hard labor in an arctic slave camp. Miraculously freed after a decade, he wrote the book, I Found God in Soviet Russia, which showed the sad reality behind socialist idealism:

"The young man and his wife were both fanatical Communists, graduates of the Communist Youth Movement where he had been a leader. They had both gone to youth camps from the age of fourteen. These Soviet youth camps are not conducted for recreation but involve hard work by young 'volunteers'....

"There is marked relaxation of sexual restraints in this atmosphere and many illegitimate children are born from the casual couplings of such summer youth camp excursions.... [These] children are raised to be zealous, dedicated Communists....They have no ties but their loyalty to the State, no allegiance to God or family, no principles to stand in the way of their performing any assignment given them.
"...children are also taught in school that they must constantly be on the lookout for 'reactionaries' [like America's 'right-wing extremists'?] and, further, must report any neighbor who talks against Communism or acts suspiciously, even if this may come to involve their own parents."[7]

Service Learning in America

The American version of service-learning was planned by socialist educator John Dewey almost a century ago. His formula, like Lenin's, is simple: affective learning (based on feelings rather than facts), followed by dialogue and group experience that helped seal the information in young minds. [See Chronology of the NEA]

Back in 1958, concerned congressmen invited Edward Hunter, an American expert on Communist brainwashing, to testify before the Committee on Un-American Activities in the House of Representatives. The Congressional transcript includes this testimony:

“I spent 30 years, a little bit more perhaps, in countries under various forms of Communist pressure and attack.  What I am witnessing in America is no different from what I saw in those other countries. ...

“I see, primarily, as part of this softening up process in America, the liquidation of our attitudes on what we used to recognize as right and wrong, what we used to accept as absolute moral standards.  We now confuse moral standards with the sophistication of dialectical materialism, with a Communist... theology which teaches that everything changes, and that what is right or wrong, good or bad, changes as well. ... There is no such thing as truth or a lie....

“The objective of Communist warfare is to capture intact the minds of the people and their possessions, so they can be put to use. This is the modern conception of slavery."[8]

Hunter's book, Brainwashing, reflects his interviews with victims of the Chinese "education reform." These survivors were trained through cruel but sophisticated "brainwashing" tactics to betray their nation, embrace socialism, "confess" lies, and serve the Communist propaganda machine.

Hunter described how each new "consensus" destroyed the victim's factual basis for resistance. And as minds were purged of Biblical hope and traditional values, unquestioning compliance became the norm:

"The long-range objective of brainwashing is to win converts who can be depended on to react as desired at any time anywhere. This is the inside-out meaning they give the word voluntary.... Even when he stands by himself, the truly indoctrinated communist must be part of the collective. He must be incapable of hearing opposing ideas and facts, no matter how convincing or how forcibly they bombard his senses. A trustworthy communist must react in an automatic manner without any force being applied. Only then is he the 'new Soviet man'..."[9]

It's happening today! Most American youth have abandoned the factual discernment that characterized America in the past. In many families, this change has already accomplished a socialist goal: to separate children from the traditional values of their parents or grandparents.

In 1971, fifteen years after Hunter wrote Brainwashing, Saul Alinsky's revolutionary manual, Rules for Radicals, was published. Alinsky, whose socialist disciples mentored Barack Obama, prepared the blueprint for the radical "community organizers" of the last three decades. He knew that "common involvements, "facilitated by "community organizers" such as Obama, would build the needed relationships:

"One of the factors that changes what you can and can't communicate is relationships. There are sensitive areas that one does not touch until there is a strong personal relationship based on common involvements. Otherwise the other party turns off and literally does not hear...."[10]
By 1992, American leaders were set to implement this system as part of mandatory education. In a letter to Hillary Clinton, America's First Lady,  Marc Tucker, President of the National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE) wrote:

"We think the great opportunity you have is to remold the entire American system for human resources development....  What is essential is that we create a seamless web of opportunities, to develop one's skills that literally extends from cradle to grave and is the same system for everyone... regulated on the basis of outcomes that providers produce for their clients, not inputs into the system."[12]

The word "outcome" reflects a planned result that's essential to social transformation. Continual assessments help refine the process. [See Reinventing the World]

Mandatory or Voluntary?

The original version of H.R. 1388 included a statement about developing "a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people." It was deleted. Perhaps the word "mandatory" stirred up too much criticism. In any case, those exact words had simply been moved to H.R. 1444, a less conspicuous bill. It states,

SEC. 4. DUTIES  (b) ...In carrying out its general purpose under subsection (a), the Commission shall address and analyze the following specific topics:
(6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds."[13]
In any case, service learning will be mandatory for schools and institutions that receive government funding. The financial strings attached to this program will guarantee nation-wide participation from the start.
Many have wondered if H.R.1388 would include the Civilian Security Force that Barack Obama mentioned in a campaign speech in Colorado Springs. "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," he said on July 2, 2008. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."[14]
Who would be the targets of such a civilian militia? What kind of domestic violence does he expect?

The Department of Homeland Security may have answered that question. On April 7, Secretary Janet Napolitano released a report titled "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." Suggesting that violence could erupt from "right-wing," anti-abortion, and "lone wolf extremists" as well as veterans, and others who are unhappy with today's government, it raised questions about the potential use of a civilian militia to silence concerned "resisters" across America.

Such intentional vilification of ordinary Americans reminds me of Hitler's shrewd strategy:

"The art of truly great popular leaders in all ages has consisted chiefly in... concentrating always on a single adversary.... It is part of a great leader's genius to make even widely separated adversaries appear as if they belonged to one category..."[15]

No "free speech" for "voluntary" servers?

Like Obama's Faith-Based Partnerships, this Serve America Act includes prohibitions that limit both speech and expressions of faith. Notice how God's timeless call to be a witness of His love is now summarized in negative word often used to vilify Christianity around the world:

(a) Prohibited Activities - An approved national service position under this subtitle may not be used for the following activities:
(2) Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts...
(5) Engaging in partisan political activities, or other activities designed to influence the outcome of an election.... [that only seems to apply to those who might criticize the administration]
(7) Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services... constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship.... or engaging in any form of proselytization...."[2]

Through the ages, Christians have been faced with a common choice: Follow the crowd and culture -- or take a stand on your convictions. What will you choose?

"...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15

"Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

From Freedom to Servitude - Part 3
Deceit, Delusion and the Destruction of America
http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/009/3-servitude-deceit.htm
By Berit Kjos - June 8, 2009

"...a concentration of world evil, of hatred for humanity is taking place and it is fully determined to destroy your society."[1] "Communism: A Legacy of Terror" by the respected Russian author, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, 1976.

"The Social Sciences will concern themselves with the rationalization of social control... the control of human behavior."[2] Rockefeller Foundation president Max Mason

"The federal government is likely within weeks to emerge as the principal owner of a storied U.S. corporation.... It will simultaneously serve as the company's regulator, tax collector, customer, pension backstop and lender."[3] Wall Street Journal

"We don't have to invade Iraq to find terrorists. They're right here.... Dr. Tiller is dead by an anti-abortion assassin, and this is the absolutely inevitable consequence of 35 years of anti-abortion fanatic rhetoric and intimidation...."[4] "Late-term abortion doctor decries Tiller killing"

"O our God... we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You." 2 Chronicles 20:12

Obama didn't lie when he promised CHANGE. He just didn't define it. Nor did he explain the basis for his HOPE. Today, with a bit of hindsight, the fog is lifting and we see the immediate future more clearly. Both words imply a shift away from the foundational truths and values of America. As Communist nations have determined, man's hope must rest in a useful worldly vision, not in the disturbing distraction of the Biblical God or other-worldly heaven.

Today, CHANGE and HOPE point to a New World Order -- a virtual utopia where the masses would eventually enjoy peace, pluralism, parity and the promise of universal welfare. Both slogans serve as bait to draw the masses into a web of deception.

As in Orwell's Animal Farm, today's spreading tentacles of Marxian socialism imply two classes of people: the equally poor masses and their wealthy "more equal" rulers. While the latter reign in luxury, the equally poor (new "middle class") may struggle to feed their families. [See box]

A recent article in the Russian Pravda titled "American capitalism gone with a whimper" has been spreading a somber view of this nation. Unlike its old Soviet-era namesake, this new Pravda may actually be telling the truth. It reminds us that the current transformation, which has now become all too visible, actually began long ago. Most of its message can be verified, as you will see in the links and facts that follow these excerpts:

"...the American descent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple.... The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was.... Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

"First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture.... Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their 'right' to choke down a McDonalds burger... than for their constitutional rights....

"Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches... were for the most part little more than Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more than happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the 'winning' side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another....

"The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. ... His spending and money printing has been record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more than another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe....

"These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more than a whimper to their masters.

"The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world how free he really is. The world will only snicker."[5]

The "Hidden" Oligarchs

We have listed many of these transnational power-brokers in "A Chronology of the Revolutionary Roots of the UN." Some are obvious participants in the seventy-year-long "partnership" between Russian Communism and leading American capitalists. As you ponder these examples, remember that today's transformation is no "conspiracy theory." It's really happening!

1913. President Woodrow Wilson wrote: "Some of the biggest men in the U. S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."[6]
1917 (November 28) After Lenin had established his bloody reign in Russia, Colonel Edward Mandel House, President Woodrow Wilson's main advisor, cabled the president the following message from Paris: "There have been... published here statements made by American papers to the effect that Russia should be treated as an enemy. It is exceedingly important that such criticism should be suppressed."[7]

1922. New York city Mayor John F. Hylan said in a speech on March 26: "...the real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of self-created screen. It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."[8]

1933. President Franklin Roosevelt, 1933 said: "The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson... "[9]
 
l931. "We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world." [Professor Arnold Toynbee, in a June l931 speech before the Institute for the Study of International Affairs in Copenhagen]
1947. Julian Huxley, the first Director General of UNESCO, wrote: "The task before UNESCO... is to help the emergence of a single world culture.... And it is necessary, for at the moment, two opposing philosophies of life confront each other from the West and from the East.... You may categorize the two philosophies as two super-nationalisms, or as individualism versus collectivism... or as capitalism versus communism, or as Christianity versus Marxism.  Can these opposites be reconciled...? ...through the inexorable dialectic of evolution, it must happen.... If we are to achieve progress, we must learn to uncrystalize our dogmas."[10]

l950. "We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent." CFR member James Warburg, speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, February 1, l950.

1953. During a Congressional investigation Rowan Gaither, President of the Ford Foundation, made this startling admission: "We at the executive level here were active in either the OSS [forerunner of the CIA], the State Department, or the European Economic Administration. During those times, and without exception, we operated under directives issued by the White House. We are continuing to be guided by just such directives, the substance of which were to the effect that we should make every effort to so alter life in the United States as to make possible a comfortable merger with the Soviet Union." [11]

1966. Georgetown Professor Carrol Quigley, Bill Clinton's distinguished mentor and a lecturer on Russian history at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, wrote: "There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I have studied it for twenty years, and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records."[12, p.950]
"One of Professor Quigley's most shocking revelations," wrote Dr. Stan Monteith, "was the fact that the American Communist Party was partly financed by J. P. Morgan and Company.... J. P. Morgan and his associates financed the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, conservative groups, liberal organizations, communist groups and anti-communist organizations." [13]

"The powers of financial capitalism have another far reaching aim," continued Dr. Quigley, "nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole."[12, p.324]

1976. "The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent." Seven years after sharing this observation, Congressman Larry P. McDonald, was killed. He was flying in a Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets. [Read more here]

 2001. "The Russians are building tremendous new nuclear/biological and chemical weapons systems--all with the assistance of US technology transfers. ... Further, the Russians are building huge underground nuclear bunkers and weapons production facilities in the Ural Mountains, clearly intended to function during a nuclear war. The US intelligence community (under both Republican and Democratic administrations) knows this and are actively covering for the Russians, so the American people won’t become alarmed.
      "Both Republican and Democratic administrations have been supplying the Chinese with high technology weapons systems for years, knowing that they, in turn, are supplying other enemies (Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, North Korea) as well."[14] Joel Skousen

Meanwhile, both parties have used the media to build and maintain a public perception of opposing positions on certain issues, while building consensus on issues that were critical to social change.[15]

Solzhenitsyn's Warning to the "Free" World

Few have explained this Communist-Capitalist partnership better -- or exposed Soviet terrors more effectively -- than Alexandr Solzhenitsyn. After criticizing Stalin in a letter to a friend, he was imprisoned for spreading "anti-Soviet propaganda" and served eight years in torturous Soviet labor camps (1945-1953). When he seemed to be dying of stomach cancer, a faithful doctor shared his testimony and apparently led Solzhenitsyn to put His faith in God. Exiled to Kazakhstan, he was restored to health. In his 1976 book, Warning to the West, he tells us that--

"...there also exists another alliance - at first glance a strange one, a surprising one - but if you think about it, in fact, one which is well-grounded and easy to understand.... [This] is the alliance between our Communist leaders and your capitalists."

"This alliance is not new. The very famous Armand Hammer, who is flourishing here today, laid the basis for this when he made the first exploratory trip into Russia, still in Lenin's time, in the very first years of the Revolution. He was extremely successful in this intelligence mission and since that time for all these 50 years, we observe continuous and steady support by the businessmen of the West of the Soviet Communist leaders.

"[Russia's] clumsy and awkward economy, which could never overcome its own difficulties by itself, is continually getting material and technological assistance. The major construction projects in the initial five-year plan were built exclusively with American technology and materials. And if today the Soviet Union has powerful military and police forces - in a country which is by contemporary standards poor -- they are used to crush our movement for freedom in the Soviet Union....

"Certain of your businessmen, on their own initiative, established an exhibition of criminological technology in Moscow. This was the most recent and elaborate technology, which here, in your country, is used to catch criminals, to bug them, to spy on them, to photograph them, to tail them, to identify criminals. This was taken to Moscow to an exhibition in order that the Soviet KGB agents could study it, as if not understanding what sort of criminals [political resisters]... would be hunted by the KGB....

"Lenin foretold this whole process. Lenin, who spent most of his life in the West and not in Russia, who knew the West much better than Russia, always wrote and said that the western capitalists would do anything to strengthen the economy of the USSR....

"Through the decades of the 1920s, the 1930s, the 1940s, the 1950s, the whole Soviet press wrote: Western capitalism, your end is near. But it was as if the capitalists had not heard, could not understand, could not believe this.

"Nikita Khrushchev came here and said, 'We will bury you!' They didn't believe that, either. They took it as a joke. Now, of course, they have become more clever in our country. Now they don't say 'we are going to bury you' anymore, now they say 'detente.'" Nothing has changed in Communist ideology."[16]

But everything has been changing in America!

Why? What can we do?

A key part of this planned transformation is Islamic terrorism, which has been fueled, funded and used by Russia. As in George Orwell's 1984, there are three main forces used to destabilize the world and create the dissatisfaction needed for planned control in a "single world culture."  [More on this topic]

Solzhenitsyn shows us the basic problem: rejection of Biblical Truth and values. "It is almost a joke now in the western world," he reminds us, "to use words like 'good' and 'evil.' They have become almost old-fashioned concepts, but they are very real.... These are concepts from a sphere which is higher than us."[17]

Indeed they are! "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil," warned Old Testament prophet Isaiah (5:20). 'Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good," wrote the apostle Paul. (Romans 12:9) Yet Biblical views of good and evil are fast disappearing from the American consciousness. They seem too intolerant and divisive in today's permissive, postmodern culture.

In contrast, the "evil" God warns us to shun is promoted everywhere: in books, movies, music, schools, ads, churches.... Since it fits the universal cravings of human nature, its collective acceptance brings an illusion of unity. Our leaders have been promoting it, for it sets the stage for mass manipulation.

The main strategy behind this transformation has been the dialectic process: group dialogue led by a trained facilitator toward an ever-evolving consensus. The result is a "dumbed-down" population of what Pravda called "sheeple" -- blinded masses following false shepherds. Our nation, once famous for its faith, freedom, wisdom and initiative, has learned to trust--

feelings instead of facts
opinions and impression instead of Truth and certainty
human cravings rather than God's authority
group consensus rather than God's Word
Rejecting the Shepherd, we lost our way. America hardly noticed the unseen forces that misled her. But it's not surprising, for "we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness...." Ephesians 6:12

Solzhenitsyn points us to the solution: "...we have to recognize that the concentration of World Evil and the tremendous force of hatred is there and it's flowing from there throughout the world. And we have to stand up against it...."[1]

"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." Ephesians 6:13

It seems to me to be an exercise in futility to protest and fight against the change in America, and the world for that matter. All governments are moving to a world system according to scripture, and the US is no different. And I think it will be more dramatic for Americans because the world government is nowhere near as tolerant as the US Constitution, so Americans will see things get worse as time passes towards the end.

But prophecy clearly shows us that all governments WILL fall, including America. There is nothing worldly worth saving nor can be saved by man. Only God could do that if He chooses but scripture seems pretty clear this place is done for. Besides, Jesus says to lay up treasures in heaven, not earth.

We look to a new heaven and earth, because this one will pass away.

I agree, & I am not encouraging anyone to protest or fight... All I am doing is providing information for others to inform themselves as to what is going on... That is what I believe to be one of the purposes of this forum, (& Dr. Johnson's ministry as well), as a means to learn about what is happening in this world so that the Remnant will be better prepared for the inevitable changes taking place. I do not understand how this article is promoting laying up treasures on Earth... Care to elaborate...?

I didn't say it does. What I was saying is that trying to save the world is like laying up treasures on earth.
