Oct. 24, 2008 - Black Liberation Theology

In early March, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, was put on the spotlight as having preached a horrendous amount of racist, anti-white, and anti-American sermons in his some thirty years as pastor.  Barrack Obama, (Senator representing the state of Illinois, and Presidential hopeful) has described this man as his spiritual mentor for over 17 years, and who he attributes the title of his book, The Audacity of Hope.  The American Heritage Dictionary defines “mentor” as: “To serve as a trusted counselor or teacher to another person.”  So, if Rev. Wright has been Obama’s trusted teacher, it would be helpful to learn what exactly Sen. Obama has been learning.

On March 2, Jeremiah Wright was interviewed my Sean Hannity, of Hannity and Colmes.  Here is a partial transcript of this interview, and it can be watched here.  Pay close attention to the letters in bold.

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the ‘60s, (INAUDIBLE) black liberation theology, that started with Jim Cone in 1968, and the writings of Cone, and the writings of Dwight Hopkins, and the writings of womanist theologians, and Asian theologians, and Hispanic theologians...

HANNITY: Reverend, I've got to get this in.

WRIGHT: Then you can talk about the black value system.

(CROSSTALK)

HANNITY: I'm going to tell you this. Listen...

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir? Do you know liberation theology?

HANNITY: I studied theology; I went to a seminary. And I studied Latin.

WRIGHT: Do you know black liberation theology?

HANNITY: I'm very aware of what you're calling black liberation, but let me get my question out.

(CROSSTALK)

WRIGHT: I said, do you know black theology?

HANNITY: Reverend, I'm going to give you a chance to answer my question.

WRIGHT: How many of Cone's books have you read? How many of Cone's books have you read?

HANNITY: Reverend, Reverend?

(CROSSTALK)

WRIGHT: How many books of Cone's have you head?

HANNITY: I'm going to ask you this question...

WRIGHT: How many books of Dwight Hopkins have you read?

Unfortunately, not much information can be gleaned from this, except that the reverend is very rude.  But there are certain words that do have a way of catching the eye, words like “liberation theology,” “Black Liberation Theology,” “Jim Cone,” and “Dwight Hopkins.”

            Who are these people?  What is Liberation Theology?  And who is Jim Cone?  Hopefully, these next few paragraphs will clear these things up.  We will start at the root of the matter: Liberation Theology.

            Liberation theology finds its roots in Latin America, where it strove to interpret the Bible to liberate the poor and oppressed.  It became very popular in the 1950-60’s when the policies of Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil benefited the middle class but made the poor that much poorer.  Men like Gustavo Gutierrez and Hugo Assmarm incorporated Marxism, which sought to “redistribute” the wealth of the rich, and give it to the poor.  In the 1980’s, The Catholic Church accepted liberation theology as truth, starting with Pope John Paul.

            Liberation theology, plain and simple, is religious communism.  These people believe that God is the God of the poor, not the rich.  God is a God that sets himself against the rich, and seeks to liberate the poor.  These radical “Christians” justify their beliefs with one portion of scripture; namely, Isaiah 61:1-2.  From the English Standard Version:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all those who mourn…”

Liberation theologians use these two verses in scripture to justify the fact that the whole bible tailors to their beliefs.  This argument does not work scripturally, or even logically. 

Reverend Bob Schenck, president of the National Clergy Council, says, “You need a careful balanced interpretation of the Bible.  Liberation Theology isolates a few verses, takes them out of context, and then exaggerates their meaning.”  This theology obviously does not stand up under any degree of scrutiny.  This theology has been the foundation for several other religions, among them Feminist Liberation Theology, and Black Liberation theology, which we will speak of in greater depth now. 

Jim Cone, the very man Rev. Wright spoke of in his interview, was born on August 5, 1938, in Fordyce, Arkansas.  He grew up having to deal with the terrible amount of racism that was rampant in that part of the country, at that time.  In hopes to try to escape the amount of hatred the two races felt for each other, Cone turned to the Christians, and was dismayed at the amount of racism he found even there.  At a very young age, Cone made the decision that belief in God could not be left in the hands of the whites.  To satisfy his thinking, he created Black Liberation Theology, which believes that God is the God of the blacks, not the whites.  In his book, Black Theology and Black Power, Cone writes: “... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.”  Jim Cone, instead of making a religion to counteract the racism he saw, has made a religion worse than anything ever created here in America.  He created a religion that believes God is Black, is for the Blacks, and seeks to eradicate all those who are white. 

            But this belief does not stop at that; Black Liberation Theology also looks to kill gods that do not stand up to their standards.  Again from Black Theology and Black Power, by Jim Cone: “If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill gods who do not belong to the black community."  So, here we have a religion that not only believes it their mission to eradicate all non-blacks, but also desires to kill the gods that do not stand up to their criteria. 

            So, what does this have to do with Obama?  As I said earlier, Barrack Obama has called Jeremiah Wright, a self proclaimed Black Liberation Theologian, his “spiritual mentor” for over 17 years!  Not only has Obama been attending this mans church, but has been taught this Christian heresy for almost two decades!

            But no religion is complete without a Christ, or Messiah.  Being one of the original founders of Liberation Theology, Che Gavera, the Cuban mass murderer, was set up as a Christ figure for liberation theology, and through it, Black Liberation Theology.  Interestingly enough, a picture of Che Gavera hangs on a wall in Obama’s recruiting office in Texas! 

            We have just looked at the hateful religion of Black Liberation Theology, first its origins in Liberation theology, and also how it relates to Obama.  This man, who wishes to be our commander in chief, believes in a religion that advocates violence and even murder against those who do not follow Che Gavera.  This man obviously has no place in our legislature, or the Oval Office. 

Sep. 8, 2008 - Central Banks, and the Bankers that run them

It was the year A.D. Seventeen seventy-five. The American colonists revolted against King George III of England after he made illegal the interest free currency that the colonists were making and using. This act forced the colonists to borrow money from the central bank of England. As Benjamin Franklin put it, "The inability of the Colonists to get the power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and international bankers was the PRIME reason for the Revolutionary War.”

In today’s blog I am going to tell you about how these central bankers have taken over America, erasing our liberties and taking away the freedom that America stands on. We will look at how the central bankers started this problem in a place called Jekyll Island, after that you will hear about the Great Depression and how it corresponds to Central banking.

So...what is a Central Bank?  Central bank is a name for a bank that controls a nation’s currency. Central means Private. The United States central bank is known by the name of “Federal Reserve.”  The Federal Reserve Bank is a private entity, not a government organization. In fact, it is just as Federal as Federal Express. According to Ron Paul, representative for the 14^th district of Texas; there are two powers inherent to this private bank: control of interest, and the control of money supply, or inflation. Because it has the power to print money, they own the paper involved, so each dollar is loaned to the government. Loaned AT INTREST. Each dollar you make is just that piece of paper, on loan from the bank. This accounts for our high national debt. But where does the money to pay back the dept come from?  Back from the Central Bank again. This caused a perpetual debt; a debt that cannot be paid off until the Federal Reserve Bank is impeached. Thomas Jefferson once said: “I believe banking institutions are more powerful than standing armies…if the American people ever the private banks to control the issue of currency…the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the homeland their fathers conquered.” As you can see, Thomas Jefferson realized the enormity of the power of the central bankers. Maier Anselm Rothschild said, "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who writes its laws."

Now, let’s look at how the Federal Reserve Bank got started. To generate a Central Bank, the bankers had to create an incident to incite the masses. So J.P. Morgan, one of the bank’s founders, published that a public bank in New York City was “insolvent,” or bankrupt. As predicted, this caused mass hysteria, which led to mass withdrawals, which caused the owners of the banks to sell off their properties, which caused a mass collapsing of banks. In fact this incident collapsed tens of thousands of banks. This was the first step in making way for a central bank. The event was investigated by Senator Nelson Aldrich, a man who had intimate ties to the central bank advocates, even becoming part of the Rockefeller family by marriage. Senator Aldrich proposed that a central bank be created so that it would never happen again. In 1910, there was a meeting of bankers at a Morgan estate in Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia.  They labeled this trip as a duck hunt, even though men like Maier Rothschild had never held a gun in his life.  The meeting was so secretive and so much effort to keep it from the government was made, that the attendees were only allowed to use their first names when addressing each other. There the bill for the central bank was written. This was signed by bankers, not legislators. But, they still needed it to be made law. So, Woodrow Wilson, having previously agreed to sign the bill, was put in office with help from the bankers. On Christmas, 1913, when other Senators were at home with their families, the bill was signed, and Wilson in turn, made it law. According to the Federal Debt Relief System, “In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson signed off on the Federal Reserve Act, and committed treason against his country. He allowed into existence a United States central bank that would be allowed to bully the American people into paying a fraudulent and unconstitutional income tax.”

            What really caused the Great Depression?  Most history books tell you that the stock market collapsed in 1929, and because the banks had their money in the stock market too, they could not comply with all the withdrawal requests, and hence could not give the people their money.  But what caused the stock market collapse in the first place?  The answer lies with the central bankers.  In 1920-1929, there was a 62% increase in money. Also in the stock market, there was a new loan called a “margin loan.”  This allowed a person to put 10% down on a piece of stock with the other 90% on loan from the broker. This means that someone could have ten-thousand dollars in the stock market with only having to pay one thousand dollars down. This seemed perfectly logical since everyone seemed to be making money in the stock market. Similar to today’s “interest only loan.”  However, this loan had a catch; the other 90% could be called in at any time, and had to be paid within 24 hours. Similar to having a very low payment rate for several years, then having the payment rate double or more later. In 1929, the Rockefellers and other insiders quietly exited the market. One week later, the controllers started calling in the loans En Masse. Once again, there was a mass sell off of stock, because everyone had to cover the loan. This caused the owners of the banks to sell off everything they owned and collapsed 16,000 private banks. The stock collapsed so much that you could buy a corporation as big as Wall Mart for as little as a dollar. It was the greatest robbery in American History. But instead of making more money to help America get back up on its feet, the “federal reserve” bankers restricted the amount of money being cycled, causing the greatest depression in the history of the world.  Only one man realized what happened and had the nerve to stand up to the bankers.  Senator Louis McFadden almost made a motion to impeach the bankers.  Unsurprisingly, after two other attempts on his life, he was poisoned at a banquet, before he could push for the impeachment. 

Now our story comes back to the present.  Aaron Russo, a movie director and former politician, was put in contact with Nicholas Rockefeller, the current leader of the Rockefeller dynasty, by a mutual friend of theirs.  As they became better friends, Nicholas revealed to Russo many of the secrets of the central bankers, and also offered him a share in the “spoils” of the banking scheme.  Being the honorable man he was, Russo refused, and forcefully rebuked Rockefeller for even considering the idea.  Rockefellers response was just as aggressive.  Quoting Paul Watson: “During one conversation, Rockefeller asked Russo if he was interested in joining the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) but Russo rejected the invitation, saying he had no interest in ‘enslaving the people’ to which Rockefeller coldly questioned why he cared about the ‘serfs.’"

Horrified, Russo ended the friendship as soon as possible. Soon afterward he directed the movie “America: Freedom to Fascism.”[1]  in hopes to expose the bankers for what they truly were: blood-thirsty con artists.

These central bankers have taken over all of America, and with the power that they have; they can and will erase your basic freedoms.

According to President Woodrow Wilson, “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country...the growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men...we have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world--no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.

Aug. 27, 2008 - History forgotten will only be repeated

            “Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times.”  This quote by Machiavelli accurately shows how everything that happened in the past, directly affects the future.  While most people have heard this, and believe the idea, there seem to be few who notice it happening today.  Today, we are going too look, first at the history itself, then second, just exactly how it is affecting us now.

            On February 28, 1933, a German Prime Minister by the name of Adolph Hitler staged attack on the Reichstag, which was the German Parliament building, burning it to the ground, and blamed it on Communist terrorists. This cause widespread outrage and hatred against the so-called communists who destroyed the seat of German government. Hitler was heard to say that it marked the beginning of widespread terrorism and major threat to “homeland security.” In the middle of the unrest, Hitler stepped in to take charge. He proposed a bill, called the Ermächtigungsgesetz, or “Enabling act,” saying it would give the government the ability to track down these terrorists and restore peace to the German people. But in order to accomplish this, he needed the Enabling act, and because it would alter the constitution, he needed a two-thirds majority. The people opposing it argued that it would give Hitler sole power and would strip the constitutional rights of the people of Germany.

            On the night of the vote, the members of parliament walked into the new Reichstag to find Nazi storm troopers surrounding the walls and even lining the aisles of the voting chamber, staring menacingly at any who disagreed with the soon to be Furor’s wishes. During the discussion, a man named Otto Wells, a prominent member of the German Parliament, stood up and said “We of the German Social Democrats pledge ourselves solemnly to the principles of humanity and justice. No Enabling act can give you the power to destroy ideas which are eternal and indestructible.” Hitler responded to this with a mixture of terrifying threats to Mr. Well’s person and promises to use “restraint.” When the vote came, not unsurprisingly, the bill was passed with Four-hundred and forty votes for it, and a mere 84 were opposed. As soon as the bill was passed, the Nazi’s leaped and started singing Horst Wessel, the Nazi anthem. Hitler had become a Fascist dictator legally.

            As we all know, after that, Hitler stripped the rights of the German people, killed many Jews, and started WWII; just as the opponents said he would.

            Now that we have the history, what about the second part, the repeating?

            On September 11^th, 2001, two 737 jet airplanes crashed into the World Trade Centers, killing thousands of people. Five days later, President Bush proposed a 342 page bill entitled bill H.R. 3162.  This very bill is history repeating, right before our very eyes.  This bill repeats the horror Hitler created, both in the circumstances in which the bill was passed, and also in the very text of the bill. 

            We will start with the conditions in which the bill was passed.

            Five days after 9/11, the Senate was faced with this bill. FIVE DAYS! It took whoever wrote it FIVE DAYS to analyze the situation, decide what to do, write up a three hundred page document, print off over a hundred copies, and pass it. FIVE DAYS! There is no amount of people that are that fast of analyzers, writers, and printers in the world! What does that mean? That means the bill had to have been written beforehand. When you look at this logically, if Congress and or the President hired a lawyer or another Congressman, it would have taken them years to write a bill of this magnitude. They would have to have had looked at the ramifications, and what it would do to the other law, and the possible problems with the bill. This bill was obviously written beforehand.

            This Bill is so similar to the Enabling act that even the opposing arguments are exactly the same. Some of the members of the Senate pointed out that this act is the same type of tyrannical law that Hitler passed in 1933.  According to Terry Neal, Essentially, it provides legal cover for the executive branch of government to violate the rights of the people in the U.S.

            Even more frightening are the defending arguments. In response to the Senate, our vice-president Dick Cheney said that anyone who voted “no” on this bill would be BLAMED FOR THE NEXT TERRORIST ATTACK, which is defined, in another act as terrorism itself! This statement is more at home in Germany in the 1930’s that in the Senate of the United States! And from the lips of our vice-president himself! Who would have thought that threats would be used in the House of Representatives.

            Now that we have looked at how even the circumstances in which it was passed were the same as the Enabling Act, We will now look at the very text of the bill, and look at how it is the same draconian law that Hitler passed in 1933.

            Sections 117, 115, and 153 of the Enabling act all have to do with Removal of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications. Under the Enabling act, your phones could be tapped at any time, your letters were all opened and looked at before being sent on, and the Gestapo could even look at what certain individuals were checking out of libraries. If someone said something, read something, or wrote something the Nazi’s didn’t like, boom, they were sent off to a concentration camp, or killed, under the charges of being a “terrorist.” These are obvious infringes in the rights of any American, and there is no American alive today who would stand for this kind of tyranny, or is there?

            Section 201 of the H.R. 3162 gives the government (quote) “The Authority to Intercept Wire, Oral, And Electronic Communications Relating To Terrorism.”

            This was the same law that section 117 of the Enabling act mandated! If the government labels you a potential terrorist, they legally have the power to intercept whatever is going to, or coming from your home. Your personal privacy is virtually nill. Period. Incidentally, the fourth amendment, one of your unalienable rights, reads “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizers, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Section 201 of the H.R. 3162 is a direct violation of this part of the bill of rights. The people are to be secure against unreasonable searches without a warrant! The government can search anything that you come in contact with at any time.

            Section 109 of H.R. 1362 declares that the government can tap your phone at any time; section 209 announces that all voicemail can be intercepted by the government, section 217 allows the government to intercept all internet activity. All these are just more and more reasons the bill of rights does not stand anymore. There is even a section on warrant less house searches in section 213, which reads “With respect to the issuance of any warrant or court order under this section, or any other rule of law, to search for and seize any property or material that constitutes evidence of a criminal offense in violation of the laws of the United States.” If the government suspects that you are a terrorist, your home can be searched without a warrant; another infringement on the bill of rights. The government can even force a library to hand over their records to the government. What kind of liberty is that?

            Now here is the place where everyone says “it won’t happen to me, all those sections only relate to terrorists, and because I am obviously not a terrorist, it can’t happen to me.”

            That’s where you’re wrong. Ever so helpful definitions relating to terrorism are provided in section 802 which reads (quote) “the term ‘domestic terrorism’ means activities that involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State.” An innocent enough definition at first glance, but reading closer, this definition includes things like rolling through a stop sign! Have any of you ever rolled through a stop sign, or sped, or littered? If the answer is yes, then you are a domestic terrorist. The government can and will do all these things I just mentioned to you.

            A good example of this was Elliot Spitzer. The way the government found out what he did, was that his money was being tracked. They saw a good portion of his money gone, investigated it, and found out where he had been, and what he was doing. If President Bush had remained true to his word, no American would have been tracked.  Elliot spitzer may not have had the best of morals, but he was definitly not a terrorist. 

            Today we have just come to the realization that history is being repeated, right here in the United States of America.  And how? By bill H.R. 3162; but this bill has another, more widely used name.  This bill, the one that is tearing away your rights is also know as the PATRIOT act.  The PATRIOT act is the virtually the same bill Hitler created in 1933. The Patriot Act is repeating the horror Hitler created, and is, stripping us of the rights given to us by men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. These things our founding fathers fought and died for and they are legally being taken away, one by one.  Bear in mind what Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.”

            Be careful what you read, be careful what you say, be careful what you write, be careful what you see, because Big Brother is watching you.
