AWAKING to politicians and politics! They claim to have something superior to the teachings of Jesus Christ!

“This album shows the killers as ‘human,’ and thereby challenges our comfort level. It forces us to ask, How is it that ‘ordinary’ people in ‘civilized’ nations can become killers and accomplices to mass murder?” –Sara Bloomfield, Museum Director, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

"The aim- understood by presidents, overlooked by many voters- is eternal mastery and control, which, naturally has a high price. Bacevich's (*1) cool, balanced analysis is compelling, and recalls chilling words penned by James Madison (*2) in 1795: 'Of all the dreaded enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies. From these proceed debt and taxes. And armies, debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.'" -Geoffrey Wawro, Professor of strategic studies at the U.S. Naval War college

 Problems Created by Politicians: “Most of the corrupt politicians we (FBI) investigate illegally peddle favors-the proverbial ‘you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours’ kind, usually with money passed under the table to fully satisfy the itch.” … “It’s a good case in point why we’ve made rooting out public corruption our fourth highest priority- and our top criminal one.  We’ve helped convict more than 1,000 federal, state, and local government officials in the last two years alone.” -Federal Bureau of Investigations Website

Daniel Myerson, author of Blood and Splendor, gives understanding of psychopaths of power. He "explores the demons that drove them (Nero, Ivan the Terrible, Hitler, Stalin and Saddam Hussein) to such violent extremes and reveals how the extravagance of their lives and the complexity of their obsessions were played out through their political actions with global consequences." Blood and Splendor exposes the madness, cunning, even genius that propels these men to power.

"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

U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates- Aide to 6 U.S. Presidents- flies "Doomsday Plane." One of a handful of planes coated with nuclear attack shielding, and capable of emitting launch codes to all U.S. missile silos. -Time Magazine, February 15, 2010 Who really is this man?

"...As tyrannical state leaders violate liberty in the name of 'states rights', we discover that those who coined that term had it wrong. States do not have rights. People have rights. And the purpose of federalism is to protect those rights. ... The odds are further stacked by the politicians' ability to use their citizens' tax dollars against them... they [people] often encounter court systems that indulge ever presumption in favor of local government."  -Clint Bolick, Leviathan: The growth of Local Government (leviathan being a monster; immense power); www.hoover.org

Peter Noudvesky, who heads the union of Russian-speaking supermarket workers in Jerusalem: “We don’t feel connected at all to politics. All of them [politicians] seem elite and they only talk to us during elections.” -The International Jerusalem Post 2-3 to 9, 2006

Politicians are in deceitful "competition" with Christianity!

It is written: [Jesus:] "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters." -Matthew 12:30

They will say of me, 'In the Lord alone are righteousness and strength.' All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame. But in the Lord all descendants of Israel will be found righteous and will exult."  -Isaiah 45:23-25  Holy Nation

"For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it- their conduct belies (show to be false; contradict) the genuineness of their profession. Avoid [all] such people- turn away from them." -2 Timothy 3:5 Amplified Bible

Do you truly know who the Political Right or Liberal Left is?  You think "yes", but... A populist is a politician, etc. who claims to represent the common people. Do politicians reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ? Absolutely not! Do politicians have something better to offer than the abundant life that Jesus Christ offers?  Surely this would demean (to lower in dignity or standing) the One who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords (I Timothy 6:15). The answer is positively no! Populists are in fact the problem, whereas Jesus Christ is the cure. A politician ought to be thought of as: meg.a.lo.ma.ni.a - n. a highly exaggerated or delusional concept of one’s own importance.

It is written:

[Jesus:] "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?" -Luke 22:52

 The Lord says: 'These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.'" -Isaiah 29:13

"For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom while they themselves are slaves to depravity- for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him." -2 Peter 2:19

"For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ  whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) -Philippians 3:18, 19 [2 Cor.11:15; 1 Tim 6:5; Tit. 1:11]

"For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." -2 John 7

"If the First Reich prepared the way for Hitler by unifying church and state, the Second Reich contributed to the paralysis of the church by teaching that there must be a split between private and public morality*. Otto von Bismarck (The shrewd premier of Prussia) claimed to have had a conversion experience to Christianity while visiting in the home of some pietistic friends. But he was faced with the realization that as a political statesman he had to violate the moral principles that governed his private behavior as a Christian. He reasoned that when acting as a servant of the state, a man was not bound by the same morality he should have as an individual. The state, it was argued, should not be judged according to conventional law because its responsibilities went beyond ordinary human values." -Hitler's Cross, Erwin W. Lutzer

*E.g. "I don't want to reflect on my fellow politicians, but if every politician that ever lied was incapable of holding of service, I'm not too sure of how many we'd have left." -James Jefford, Vermont (USA) Representative [career politician]; -Quote taken after a press conference; Burlington Free Press (year 2000)

 "There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty (prideful) eyes, a lying tongue (emphasis added), hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers."  -Proverbs 6:16-19

“All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.”  -John Arbuthnot (1667-1735); Quotationary

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.

 It is written: "This is what the Lord says: 'Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart has turns away from the Lord.'"  -Jeremiah17:5

"Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?" -Isaiah 2:22

“While the changes cleared the way for Romney’s campaign to appeal to conservatives, they also opened him up to charges of flip-flopping on crucial issues, putting political expediency ahead of principle and being a candidate of image rather than substance.”  The International Jerusalem Post 12-27-27

 It is written: "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." -James 1:8

“The [Roman] multi-culture diverse empire poured enormous wealth and affluence into Rome and it corrupted every aspect of their Republican political system.  So that elections were openly bought and sold for vast campaign contributions. Political factions became so strong and the infighting became so great that the Senate was brought to gridlock. And tiny problems in the Middle East that might have been resolved with rapidity (swiftly) and with benefit for all, were allowed to drag on and on with constant change in policy. Until finally the Roman people lost all confidence in their government…” (www.THEGREATCOURSES.COM –“ A serious force for education.”  –Wall Street Journal) 

What's happening right now in America?  History is repeating itself! A recent mailing 10-20-08 from John McCain stated: “… it is absolutely essential to our party’s success for us to raise at least $30 million in the next 15 days to battle back against the Democrats’ massive and limitless fundraising machine.”

 It is written: "Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming." -Ephesians 4:14

“Politics is, after all, only an expression of culture.  It cannot be the ultimate source of meaning and influence in any society if people wish to remain free.  Ironically, while Western nations appear to be in the grip of the political illusion, the developing world is more realistic.  A few years ago, political observers were convinced that South America’s poor would embrace liberation theology with its Marxist promises of justice and wealth redistribution.  But to their surprise, the people rejected it.  The reason:  They knew governments were corrupt, and they distrusted political messiahs [emphasis added].”  -Chuck Colson: Promises, Promises; Christianity Today, August 2007

 Minds      Spiritual Warfare

 

ALERT! WARNING!  In Black's Law dictionary (6th) the word Sovereignty is defined as "... The power to do everything in a state without accountability,- to make laws, to execute and to apply them, to impose and collect taxes and levy contributions, to make war or peace, to form treaties of alliance or of commerce with foreign nations, and the like." The key issue here is: WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY  which explains the runaway corruption upon this American Nation. Surely this is how the "de facto"  is manifesting presently, and surely is contrary, for instance, to Vermont Constitution Article 6: "That all power originally inherent in and consequently derived from the people, therefore, all officers of government, whether legislative or executive, are their trusties and servants; and at all times, in a legal way, accountable to them." Also, sub-section 6 clearly states: "...but they shall have no power to add to, alter, abolish, or infringe any part of this Constitution." 

 The "war on terrorism" and the Patriot Acts have clearly usurped (unlawful encroachment or assumption of the use of property, power or authority which belongs to another) the sovereign CITIZEN (S). This again is contrary to Vermont Articles 17 and 16 which positively declares that: "No person in this state can in ANY CASE be subjected to law-martial (suspension of Constitutional VESTED RIGHTS) and that the military power is subordinate (placed in a lower order, class, or rank; inferior in order, nature, dignity, and power.) to Civil"!  DO NOT FORGET that the rights to bear arms is to protect from tyrannical government!   Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it! 

Politicians, Lawyers, Judges, Executives in government and numerous others are guilty of chain conspiracy in America which is "(Law:) the carrying on of different activities with the same subject of the conspiracy in chain-like manner such that each conspirator performs a separate function which serves in the accomplishment of the overall conspiracy."  The BIG OPEN DOOR in the U.S. and State Constitutions responsible for these subversive activities is the taking of Oaths of Office (Article 6, Clause 3): "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of all the several state legislators, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support the Constitution; BUT NO RELIGIOUS TEST SHALL EVER BE REQUIRED AS A QUALIFICATION TO ANY OFFICE OR PUBLIC TRUST UNDER THE UNITED STATES." So what it is implying is that Communists, Socialists, or just any religious beliefs, whether they be good or evil, can participate!  No wonder there is so much confusion in America.  Too many agendas...water and oil don't mix!  (The political United Nations has made the same error in forming its conglomeration).  The GOOD NEWS is that the definition of Oath is (Law:) "...An outward pledge by the person taking it (oath) that his attestation or promise is made under an immediate sense of responsibility to God.  A solemn appeal to the Supreme Being in attestation of the truth to some statement..."  Surely there is a True Living God who will bring judgment.

IF you are having trouble understanding your present day government, you are not alone, and here is why: Many people do not know the truth as to what is written in Holy Scripture:

"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

"The many names of Satan are also a model for the way radicals camouflage their agendas by calling themselves at different times Communists, socialists, new leftists, liberals, social justice activists and most consistently progressives." www.frontpagemag.com

“Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth. Liberal Democrats are the lowest form of politicians. I really shudder for the future of our country. Someone must not only win the war, but also the peace.” -General George S. Patton Jr.; The Unknown Patton, Charles M. Province; page 99; copyright 1983

From Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Edition: State- “A body politic or a society of men. = Artificial persons- Persons created and devised by human laws for the purpose of society and government.” = Secular- Not spiritual [not religious]. Usurpation-  "... the unlawful encroachment or assumption of the use of property, power or authority which belongs to another... government by force or illegally, in derogation of the constitution and the rights of the lawful ruler." Blasphemy

 politics- the use of strategy or intrigue in obtaining power or status. Let us take a real close look at  secularism (not spiritual/not religious) and politics. Taken further it means:

strat-e-gy (strat'i je), n.,pl. -gies, 1. the science or art of planning and directing large-scale military movements and operations. 2. a plan or method for achieving a goal. -stra-te-gic (stra te jik). adj - stra-te-gi-cal in.trigue (v.in treg'; also in'treg) v., -trigued, -triguing.n -1. to arouse the curiosity or interest of. -v.i. 2. to plot craftily or underhandedly. -n.3. a crafty of underhanded plot. 4. the act of plotting. 5. a secret love affair. - in.tri'guing.ly. adv.

Another definition of politic: "Ingenious in devising and pursuing any scheme of personal or national aggrandizement, without regard to the morality* of the measure; cunning; artful; sagacious in adapting means to the end, whether good or evil." 1828 Webster's Dictionary  *Human Rights Abuse in USA

 Latin: corruptissima re publica plurimae leges: in the most corrupt state exists the most laws

"Because of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many Citizens, because of respect of the law, are cunningly coerced into waiving their rights, due to ignorance." U.S. v. Minker, 350 U.S. 179, 187

"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

  "Our nation, our species and our world are in crisis. The US has an important role to play in the solution, but we can no longer afford to let corporate greed and corrupt politics set the policies if our nation." www.occupywallstreet.com

Wake Up Call:

     For many readers the First World War may seem a senseless, disastrous conflict that had neither purpose nor justification and that remained outside the control of political and military leaders. In his book Cataclysm, David Stevenson offers a different view. He sees it as a “cataclysm of a special kind, a manmade catastrophe produced by political acts...” He also believes “the killing was begun and prolonged through deliberate political will.”  The “victims” of the war, he adds “owed their fate to deliberate state policy, decided on by governments that rejected alternatives to violence …” Thus, the war was shaped by politicians who aimed at specific political goals and accepted the high casualties and cost associated with accomplishing those goals. –Book review by Colonel Robert A. Doughty (Professor and head of the Department of History at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point; 2004)

The Hegelian Principle
   
Revolutionaries in government have created economic chaos, shortages in food and fuel, confiscatory taxation, a crisis in education, the threat of war, and other diversions to condition Americans for "The New World Order:
    The technique is as old as politics itself.  It is the Hegelian principle of bringing about change in a three-step process:  Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis.
    The first step (thesis) is to create a problem.  The second step (antithesis) is to generate opposition to the problem (fear, panic, hysteria).  The third step (synthesis) is to offer the solution to the problem created in step one, - change which would have been impossible to impose on the people without the proper psychological conditioning achieved in stages one and two.
    Applying the Hegelian principle, and irresistible financial influence, concealed mattoids seek to dismantle social and political structures by which free men govern themselves-ancient landmarks erected at great cost in blood and treasure.
    Their objective is to emasculate sovereign states, merge nations under universal government, centralize economic powers, and control the world's people and resources.

"The aim and end of war is murder; the weapons employed in war are espionage, treachery and the encouragement of treachery, the ruining of a country, the plundering and robbing of its inhabitants for the maintenance of the army, and trickery and lying which all appear under the heading of the art of war. The military world is characterized by the absence of freedom—in other words, a rigorous discipline inactivity, ignorance, cruelty, debauchery, and drunkenness." -Quotationary, Leonard Roy Frank; Leo Tolstoy (1828—1910), War and Peace, 3.2.25, 1863—2869, tr. Rosemary Edrnonds, 1957

   (Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Ed.) "In its largest sense, a "state" is a body politic or a society of men." Artificial persons are persons created and devised by human laws for the purpose of society and government, as distinguished from natural persons." Natural persons are persons untouched by man or by influences of civilization; wild; untutored, and is the opposite of the word "artificial." Jesus Christ is the author of sovereign natural persons only! A person's "voice" (input/influence) is greatly diminished if not entirely made meaningless under democracies of men.  Threat, Duress, Coercion (TDC) Politics are rooted in magic, sorcery, and war. Simply stated, politicians are on par with Adolf Hitler who was voted into power through Democracy.

(Taken from: Rise of the American Nation)
Reasons for corruption. 
Why was public morality at such a low level in the years following the Civil War?  The war itself was partly responsible.  In the crisis of wartime, the all-important consideration is get things done quickly.  Cost is secondary to what is considered national survival, and money flows freely into war industries.  During the war years, with business booming, unscrupulous business interest and legislators had a rare opportunity to engage in dishonest practices.  These practices are continued in the postwar years.
     A related and equally significant explanation of the postwar graft was the rapid growth of large-scale industry, about which you will read in Chapter 22. In earlier times, when factories and businesses were small, their owners were well known in their own communities. If their practices were dishonest, they were likely to lose their neighbor's good will.
The new large corporations were impersonal. The people who controlled them were hardly known even by many of their own stockholders. Within the corporations, it was easier for dishonest individuals to get away with questionable practices.

It was clearly determined from the Nuremburg War trials that “Civilization cannot tolerate crimes against peace and crimes against humanity from being repeated." When asked about the blame behind causing the war, politicians blamed soldiers, and soldiers blamed politicians- both of which were “only doing their duty.”

Cultural Communism- The Cult of Political Correctness  Communism isn’t dead, it’s just been renamed. “With the political correctness movement we see an attack on the Christian culture so that the communists can take over.  And cultural bolshevism [term stemming from 1917 when the Bolsheviks came to power in Russia] is winning while Christian leaders wring their hands.  …And when Western Christian culture is destroyed, it will be replaced by chaos, anarchy and violence as a norm. All this without any casualties on the side of the conspirators.” –By F.C. Blahut; A special investigative report from AFP (American Free Press) exposing a sinister cult; January 16, 2006  True Servant- Master Relationship

What history and wisdom tells us:

 "The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it is a scaffolding behind which there is no building." -Benito Mussolini, Italian dictator (1883-1945); The Book of Rule, How the World is Governed      Smoke and Mirrors

"Communist record offers the most colossal (gigantic, huge) case of political carnage in history." - The Black Book of Communism, Crimes, Terror, Repression, by Stephane Courtois et. al.

"Every Communist must grasp the truth, Political power grows out of the end of a barrel."- China leader Mao Zedong

"Politics is when you say you are going to do one thing while intending to do another. Then you do neither what you said nor what you intended." -Saddam Hussein

"Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them." -Charlie Reese, former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.

"Pundits (experts or authorities) and politicians promise abundance and world peace if only we will listen to their wisdom or vote for them. Their promises, however, always fall short."  -The Journey: How to Live by Faith in an Uncertain World, page 29, Billy Graham, world renowned Evangelist

“The essence of politics is power, the struggle to obtain and to maintain it, and the use made of it.” Michael Curtis; Quotationary

“Politics and villainy are almost synonymous terms.” –Frederick II (1712-1786), Quotationary

“There is no morality in politics; there is only expediency.”  Lenin, speech, September 1915, Quotationary

Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be "discovered" by an election. -Adolph Hitler

Children of Abraham/Children of the devil

 

Beria, the Head of the Lenin University School of Psychopolitics  states in his 1933 address to a group of American/Marxist Psychology students:

"A psychopolitician must work hard to produce the maximum chaos in the fields of 'mental healing'.  You must work until every teacher of psychology unknowingly or knowingly teaches only Communist doctrine under the guise of 'psychology'.  You must labor until every doctor and psychiatrist is either a psycho-politician or an unwitting assistant to our aims.  You must labor until we have dominion over the minds and bodies of every important person in your nation (America).  You must work until suicide arising from mental imbalance is common and calls forth no general investigation or remark... You must dominate as respected men in the fields of  psychiatry and psychology.  You must dominate the hospitals and universities... You can come and take your instruction as worshippers of Freud... Psychopolitics is a solemn charge.  With it you can erase your enemies as insects.  You (psychologists) can change their (leaders) loyalties by psychopolitics. Given a short time with a psychopolitician you can alter forever the loyalty of a soldier in our hands or statesman or a leader in his own country, or you can destroy his mind.  Use the courts, use the judges, use the Constitution of the country, use its medical society and its laws to further our ends... By psychopolitics create chaos.  Leave a nation leaderless.  Kill our enemies.  And bring to earth, through Communism, the greatest peace man has ever known.  Thank you."

Godly Christian Responses: 

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. breakpoint.org

 Mother Teresa: "We don't mix up in politics."

“Listening to the rhetoric this election season, one might assume that a new batch of politicians in Washington will solve the problems facing this country, not to mention the planet.  Elect candidate X, and he or she will tackle global warming, solve the health-care crisis, eliminate poverty, right the economy, and unite a divided country.  For two problems, however, no politician dares offer a solution: death and evil.” Philip Yancy, Christianity Today, May 2008

Government de jure 
A government of right; the true and lawful government; a government established according to the constitution of the nation, and lawfully entitled to recognition and supremacy and the administration of the nation, but which is actually cut off from power or control.  A government deemed lawful, or deemed rightful or just, which nevertheless, has been supplanted or displaced; that is to say, which receives not  presently (although it received formerly) habitual obedience from the bulk of the community.

Government de facto
A government of fact. A government actually exercising power and control, as opposed to the true and lawful government; a government not established according to the constitution of the nation, or not lawfully entitled to recognition or supremacy, but which has nevertheless supplanted or displaced the government de jure. A government deemed unlawful, or deemed wrongful or unjust, which nevertheless, receives presently habitual obedience from the bulk of the community.

There are several degrees of what is called "de facto government." Such a government, in its highest degree, assumes a character very closely resembling that of a lawful government.  This is when the usurping government expels the regular authorities from their customary seats and functions, and established itself in their place, and so becomes the actual government of a country.  The distinguishing characteristic of such a government is that adherents to it in war against the government de jure do not incur the penalties of treason; and under certain limitations, obligations assumed by it in behalf of the country or otherwise will, in general, be respected by the government de jure when restored.  Such a government might be more aptly denominated a "government of paramount force," being maintained by active military power against the rightful authority of an established and lawful government; and obeyed in civil matters by private citizens.  They are usually administered directly by military authority but they may be administered, also by civil authority, supported more or less by military force.  -Thorington v. smith, 75 U.S. (8 Wall.) 1,1 9 L. Ed 361

The Law definition for "revolution" includes: "...In its broadest significance is generally used to designate a sweeping change as applied to political change, it denotes a change in a method or system of government, or the power which controls the government. It is frequently accomplished by or accompanied by violent acts, but IT NEED NOT BE VIOLENT IN ITS METHODS AND IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY DENOTE FORCE OR VIOLENCE. U.S. v. Foster, D.C.N.Y., 9 F.R.D. 367, 394.
