The only thing necessary for evil to take over the Christian church is for followers of Christ to forsake TRUTH.

It is incredible that tens of millions of Christians in America remain clueless to the massive carnage created in their name. But when the Christian church fails to remain vigilant of the power of evil, it sacrifices its flock upon an altar of political ignorance, praying that secular media organizations will be enough to provide truth to the masses.

The Dec. 2008 edition of NEWSWEEK featured an article by Jonathan Tepperman entitled, “The Noose Tightens.” The article is an expose on the legal machinations that are pressuring high-level Bush administration officials (like former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld) for their roles in the operation of secret prisons and the kidnapping and torture of targeted individuals.

Do you know the truth about Christmas?

Each year, I am astounded by the magnitude and beauty of Christmas celebrations and the immersion of American society into a tradition that is cemented into the psyche of this nation. But, Christmas truly presents an external benevolence that masks a deep dark secret.

Many Christian churches, of varying denominations, often seek to “put Christ back into Christmas” or “make Christmas meaningful.” Both efforts would be commendable if they were legitimate.

Certainly, putting a spotlight on Christ is laudable. And teaching the true meanings of traditions in order to maintain the purity, sanctity and holiness of such worship is core to the development of Christian children, as well as all followers of Christ.

Unfortunately, not only is there no Christ in Christmas, one may interview most any Christmas-loving Christian and find a severe lack of knowledge of what Christmas celebrations are and the abomination they represent to God.

That isn’t to say that Christians who celebrate Christmas do so with the intent of committing an act of abomination. Many of us who profess to love Jesus participate in a tradition that is an abomination to God because we believe it is something other than than what it truly is. We do not recognize Satan — a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

The tradition of Christmas is filled with lies and distortions of truth, but millions of Christians are ignorant of these things because we have never been taught to ask critical truth-seeking questions. Instead, we follow tradition blindly.

But if we knew the truth, would we discard the Christmas tradition? Would we immediately trash everything connected to this embedded cultural norm? Unfortunately, I DON’T think we would.

We have a similar damaging addiction to television and all its influences. Music, fashion and media all have similar impacts, coaxing us to embrace the world and its evolving ideas and ethics … and put our own desires first. Such things make us feel good and we are loathe to part with them.

Look no farther than the era we live in right now to witness the loss of the U.S. Republic and the overturning of the U.S. Constitution. In similar fashion to the incredulous need for an official to announce there is a recession before media will tell us what we already know, the same is true for the fact that we have lost what the Founding Fathers put into place. No one is saying it officially, but we already can see the evidence.

Today, House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank, the guy who wrote the $700 billion bailout bill, is now asserting himself on the second-half of the bailout by proclaiming new measures to be instituted prior to President-elect Barack Obama taking office. Barney blames Bush for failing to heed the current measure which contains pretty much the exact same demands as the ones Barney is announcing will be contained in the second. The rationale Barney uses is beyond comprehension.

There is little doubt that any financial institution that could not be trusted to handle your money properly — to insure it and deliver it back to you on demand (with interest) — would not continue to receive your patronage. One might even wonder how and why such an institution would be allowed to exist, much less grow into the most powerful financial authority in the entire country.

If that same institution created beneath its authority lesser financial institutions that would rule over most other even lesser financial institutions and invite those lower institutions to be creative in swindling and defrauding the public, one might be persuaded to dismantle the higher institution and all of its lower minions. And to add injury to insult (because this part of the con game has the potential to result in war), some of the higher financial institutions would re-package the swindles made by the lower institutions and sell them to other nations that did not know those packages were wheelbarrows filled with America’s most worthless financial trash. Additionally, the banks providing loans to individual Americans (and our businesses) are basing their interest rates upon rates that are sometimes fraudulent  — imposed upon them by a foreign entity.

What financial institution would stand as the all-seeing, all-knowing authority over such a massive fraud of the citizens of the United States and those of other nations?

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.

Matthew 16:1-4

Economic lies, lies and more lies

Indeed, until the collapse of the U.S. economy, the most intense focus for millions of Americans, including many political leaders, was the crisis of global warming. While media and political leaders over the past decade turned our attention to debating and then finding the cause of changing weather patterns, our government was busy committing perhaps the biggest fraud in history against the people of the United States.

Financial media giant Bloomberg sought the disclosure of securities the Federal Reserve was accepting on behalf of American taxpayers as collateral in order to loan banks more than $2 trillion. Bloomberg was stonewalled from March until November 7, 2008 when it sued the Federal Reserve. On Dec. 12, the Fed responded to Bloomberg. The message: Take a long walk off a short plank. We don’t have to tell you anything … and we won’t.

It’s not easy to get the attention of an American Idolized nation. But if the Federal Reserve’s proclamation that it owns the right to do as it pleases with America’s money with total authority, zero oversight and complete impunity is correct, shouldn’t you and I have at least one eyebrow raised?
