This website is for a mature public German sociologist Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann coined the phrase "the Spiral of Silence" after witnessing Hitler and his ilk (kind) intimidated citizens until they were afraid to speak out against the most horrible evils imaginable: the mass slaughter of human beings. Noelle-Neumann said that a society falls into this fearful state, the Spiral of Silence, when it allows a tiny majority of the population to control the conversation. Most people are by nature reluctant to go against the tide of public opinion. Others are frightened, so the majority is silenced.

"From Generation to Generation " Used with permission: Bracha Lavee "Historically, the book of Exodus records the dramatic confrontation of Moses and Pharaoh, the crossing of the Red Sea, the journey to Mount Sinai and the two major events at Sinai- the giving of the Law and the construction of the Tabernacle. The book shows how God took an unorganized group of slaves and welded them together as a theocratic nation. i.e., a nation ruled by God." – Holy Bible, KJV; Zondervan, © 1994. Christ Jesus Theocracy v. Democracy Democracy- A closer look “[The] intimate relation to God to the community accounts for the early history of Judaism as presenting an example of theocracy.” -Dictionary of Philosophy and Religion, W. L. Reese
From the earliest time in Israel's history the Israelites felt more comfortable with a human king than with the Almighty; nevertheless, King David, who ruled forty years, understood that the true king of the world was Yehovah (Psalm 93:1). "It is sometimes hard to think of God as king in the present day because we look around and see human rulers who govern with very real and tangible force. Yehovah is a merciful king and when we sin against him he is patient with us. The human kings of the world are not so merciful and their punishments are often swift and cruel." - A Prayer To Our Father (The Avinu Prayer), Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson "Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants" -Benjamin Franklin "The same thing happened to millions of Germans who were killed because of Hitler (without even counting the victims of the Holocaust). Millions of Russians suffered a similar fate when they were slaughtered by Stalin, and millions of Chinese were murdered by Mao Tse-Tung, while Cambodians lost their lives at the hands of Pol Pot. These examples are but a few. Leaders tend to bring calamity upon their people. It’s always been like that throughout history... I have never been, nor will I ever be a member of any political party. I have never had anything to do with politics, and never intend to!” Holocaust survivor, Alex Hurwitz; Jerusalem Post February 22, 2008

God's chosen people are not a majority; rather, they are a remnant people; a minority to demonstrate His power and faithfulness to His promises. Democracy works upon the ideology of "majority rule", and does not require any test concerning allegiance. Jesus/Yeshua taught His people not to be unequally yoked with the unbeliever. Consider what is written: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12). History makes clear that a misguided majority is as dangerous to good government under law as a privileged minority or a power mad dictator. Hence, it is written: "...the mind of the flesh- with its carnal thoughts and purposes- is hostile to God; for it does not submit itself to God's Law, indeed it cannot." (Romans 8:7 Amplified Bible). The personal knowledge of God is imperative for discernment, and for living in the love of God! Born Again "But Jesus [Yeshua] knew their thoughts, and said to them: 'Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.' ... 'He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.'" -Matthew 12:25,30 Therefore, it is written: [Jesus/Yeshua:] "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." -Matthew 7:13 "Unless the LORD builds the house [theocracy], they labor in vain who build it [democratic process]" Psalm 127:1 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and for ever." -Hebrews 13:8 "Ideology- the manmade formulations and doctrines of modern politics- is the enemy of the Gospel. ... Republicans and Democrats today engage in partisan warfare supposedly between conservatives and liberals, but these labels have largely lost their historic meaning. ... Christians must never allow ourselves to be put in the hip pocket of any political party or ideological movement." Jubilee, July '08; -Chuck Colson Democracy- “A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of 'direct’ expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude towards property is communistic- negating property rights. Attitude toward the law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether is be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regards to consequences. Results in demagoguism (An eloquent speaker or political leader who gains power by arousing people’s emotions and prejudices), license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.” -1928 U. S. War Department Training Manual (No. 2000-25) definition of Democracy. [This was used in contrast to a Republic to justify to the soldiers their cause for going to war!] The Christian’s primary allegiance is always to Jesus Christ. Christians proclaim Him Lord, recognize Him as their legitimate King, and live as citizens of His kingdom first and foremost. The demands of human government are always secondary to the demands of Christ and His Kingdom—as the lives of countless martyrs and the persecuted church past and present attest. www.breakpoint.org Roman culture was not neutral with respect to the announcement of God’s reign in Christ. The Gospel of the kingdom is not just about a gift. It is about a change of allegiance. The declaration “Jesus is Lord” was understandably viewed as subversive and a threat to everything the Romans held dear. That’s why Christians had to die. That’s why tyrants such as Stalin and Mao tried to stamp out the Church. The Threat of Jesus, by Rev. Robert Lynn Historical Conclusions: "Western Democracy, as it functions today, is diluted Nazism or Fascism. At best it is merely a cloak to hide the Nazi and Fascist tendencies of imperialism." -Mohandas K. Gandi, 1940 "... the Founding Fathers' experiment in self government..." -National Constitution Center “In a republic, the importance of the central government, seen as an economic parasite and potential tyrant, is rightfully minimized. By contrast, our democracy today, like all humanistic democracies before it, is nothing more than mob rule - the rule of the majority - where the federal government becomes a criminal, stealing from the productive and giving to the unproductive; where the government makes ungodly laws and politicians play god, relying ultimately upon the force of violence.” - No Time FOR SLAVES, R.E. McMaster, Jr. "No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." -Winston Churchill 1947 "The truth is, we are all caught in a great economic system which is heartless." -Woodrow Wilson, 1913 "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." -John Adams, 1814 "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin "Democracy; in which you say what you like and do what you’re told." -Gerald Barry "Democracy stands between two tyrannies: the one which it has overthrown and the one into which it will develop." -Paul Eldridge 1888-1982 "Without morality, democracy is one of the worst forms of government. The world found it to be so during the French Revolution and during Hitler’s day." -Mike Evans Fact: Democracy literally means “rule by the people.” (Jesus is not a part of the society except by those who know Him.) “Liberty has never lasted long in a democracy, nor has it ever ended in anything better than despotism.” -Fisher Ames The book, Pigs at the Trough: How Corporate Greed and Political Corruption Are Undermining America - documents how a select few are running the government, and the economy, into the ground for the rest of us while reaping profits for themselves. "Under capitalism man exploits man. And under Communism it is just the reverse." - John Kenneth Galbraith, 1908, A life in our times ; memoirs, 22, 1981 Democracy can come undone. It’s not something that’s necessarily going to last forever once it’s been established. -Sean Wilentz
Christ in the Capital: A 17-foot high statue of Christ stands in front of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' building at 3211 Fourth Street, NE, Washington, D.C. First completed in 1949, it was relocated to the address above in 1989. "Just as the Washington Monument and the Statue of Liberty are national emblems, so will Christ of Washington weld himself into the American conscious and be a source of spiritual inspiration to all people of our country who will see this statue in pictures. ...The Light of the World." -Catholic Digest, November 2006, page 51.
"Society today is deeply influenced by what is known as Judeo-Christian ethics, which is essentially based on Torah principles. It was this unique book of instructions that introduced such fundamental concepts as, 'love thy neighbor' and 'do not hate your brother in your heart.' In ancient society there was no such thing as a desire for peace, the nations simply vied for power through military might. The Torah spread the concept of peace to the world to such an extent that The United Nations motto is a verse from Isaiah, calling for a society where people lay down their weapons and sworn enemies become friends." - Rabbi Yehonasan Gefen, writer and educator in Jerusalem. www.Torah.org

"Who will rise up for me against evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Unless the Lord had been my help, I would soon have dwelt in [the land where is] silence. When I said my foot is slipping, Your mercy and loving kindness, O Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my (anxious) thoughts within me, Your comforts cheer and delight my soul! Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You, they who frame and hide their unrighteous doings under [the sacred name of] law? They band themselves together against life of the [consistently] righteous, and condemn the innocent to death. But the Lord has become my high tower and defense, and my God, the rock of my refuge. And he has turned back upon them their own iniquity, and will wipe them out by means of their own wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out." -Psalms 94:16-23 Amplified Bible Freemasonry's deity, the "Great Architect of the Universe," can be worshiped by all men, whether they be Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, or Hindus, without controversy. -Albert Pike, 33degree, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, 1966, p. 226; and Albert Mackey, 33 degree, Mackey's Revised Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, 1966, pp. 8-9 Note: Diagram below depicts flawed worldview.
"God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. ... If anyone says 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother." -1 John 4:16, 20,21 If Muslims and Christians address the same God, how then is this fact possible "...there is not a single one of the fifty-five predominately Muslim nations on earth today where Christians are not persecuted." -What in the World Is Going On?, Dr. David Jeremiah
Excerpt: The Giant Who Shrank: A Post-Communist Tale (The New York Times, Sunday, November 30, 2003, by Seth Mydans) Tbilisi Georgia- In the cold light of defeat, Edward A. Shevardnadze knows what he did wrong as the failed president of Georgia, and is prepared to acknowledge his mistake openly: too much democracy. "Democracy needs steering," he told a German television station after he was driven from office last Sunday by huge, angry crowds of protesters. "It is is not good to have too much democracy. I think this was a mistake." Stunned, pale, battered by chants of, "Get out! Get out! Get out!" Mr Shevardnadze, 75, almost tottered as he walked away from his office- Headline: "Bad cops, prosecutors or judges can destroy a democracy, because they are the law." -John Delaney, Jacksonville,TN Mayor; Jacksonville Newspaper Friday, December 15, 2000

Exception ..."Mr. Whitman, who has studied Tocqueville’s work on American penitentiaries, was asked what accounted for America’s booming prison population" Unfortunately, a lot of the answer is democracy- just what Tocqueville was talking about,” he said. “We have a highly politicized criminal justice system." More on Prisons It is a well established global and historical fact that Communism is an enemy of nations and of men’s souls: From LIFE Magazine, May 23, 1960, page 35, “…some of the nations for whose freedom we (U.S.) fought under Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, notably in eastern Europe and the Far East, have succumbed to ancient tyranny in its newest and most insidious guise, Communism." Communism is infecting even the United States presently... and no, it is not "dead" with the break up of the Soviet Union. More information on this subject under "Every Communist must grasp the truth, Political power grows out of the end of a barrel."- China leader Mao Zedong From LIFE magazine Oct 4, 1963, an advertisement on page 127 invited “Every American who recognizes the Communist challenge to read… The Meaning of Communism, by Miller, Roberts, Shulman.” [The book] created by TIME, Inc. the great news gathering organization, enabled its reader to learn “how Communism has evolved- from the bloody Revolution of 1917 to the cold war of 1963; from the ideas of Marx and Lenin to the dictators of Stalin and Khrushchev, and the Communist goal of world supremacy.” [The reader] would then learn of the problems we in the Free World face in meeting this challenge.
