"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.'"

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;

Battling Corrupt Politicians
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.

“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.)

"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

“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

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

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.

power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."

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

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." (Source: U.S.

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.

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

IT NEED NOT BE VIOLENT IN ITS METHODS AND
IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY DENOTE FORCE OR VIOLENCE. U.S.
