Where Oh Where Has Our Reformed Christianity Gone? Oh Where Oh Where Can It Be?

Modern, wimpy, soft-spoken Reformed pastors will keep talking about ‘loving your neighbor’ and pretending that the government isn’t already commanding us to sin.

They don’t care about the old people dying of isolation, the mental anguish families are going through being separated from their loved ones, or little babies like this one who now is without a mother if it survives at all. They don’t care about people who have lost their family businesses — forever. They have NEVER cared to talk about the debt-based economy that’s precipitously close to collapsing on many millions of Christian families. They’re not talking about government indoctrination centers turning our kids into communists who are burning our cities every night.

No. They’ll preach five more sermons on Grace, wear their pleated khakis, grow a beard and pretend to deserve the respect that Reformed Pastors of old could command.

The modern church is anathema. Ichabod.

Mrs. Emily Forte

I think it is well past time that we admit that the “Conservative” Reformed Church in America is a bust. We needs admit that the Reformed Clergy in America bears as much relation to John Calvin, John Knox, and Huldrych Zwingli as our modern soy boy males bear relation to Charles Martel, John Sobieski, or Godfrey of Bouillon.

Part of where that lack shows itself is in the pulpit. As Emily rightly points out the prototypical contemporary conservative Reformed clergy sermons have become reductionistic and irrelevant. We have reduced Jesus to the chorus of a Beatles song. We talk about a Jesus disconnected to the living of the people God has given us to serve and then we justify that disconnection by reciting the bald and explicit teaching by our wise-men in our Seminaries that God doesn’t speak an inscripturated Revelational Word about the public lives of God’s people. Our Clergy are insensate and can provide no direction to God’s people on the issues of our times — such as the ongoing attempted genocide of the White Christian people — because the modern conservative Clergy have been taught to believe that our physical corporeal lives don’t really matter because the realities those lives occupy are realities that won’t cross over to the New Jerusalem anyway. Christian families don’t exist now and won’t exist in the new Jerusalem we are told by Reformed Ph.d.’s. Christian civilization doesn’t exist now, can’t exist, never has existed, and won’t exist in the New Jerusalem we are told by the chaps with terminal degrees teaching your next Pastor right now. The same goes for any idea of Christian culture. You’re next Pastor is being trained right now that the idea of Christian culture is a myth… and that in “Conservative Seminaries” across the nation. Is it any wonder then that your minister knows nothing about how debt based economies are a violation of the 8th commandment? Is it any wonder that your Pastor Lovejoy thinks it’s perfectly acceptable to put his own children (as well as yours) in Government indoctrination centers to be catechized into a false faith? Our clergy are stupid and they have been trained to think that God loves stupid.

And all this above… and all that Emily rightly noted is dismissed by our enemy Seminary wisemen by saying, “Well, your people can get instruction on those issues outside the Church by competing worldview Christian sources and organizations. We (the Church) have to spend our time with more important things like the Gospel.” In this one clever move the Gospel has been divorced from Christianity. The Clergy want to be Gospel oriented, and Gospel Intentional (all the rage buzz-phrases today) but they want that as it is divorced from Christianity as the total Weltanschauung. Now these types will immediately protest that they don’t believe in Weltanschauung (World and life view) but all that tells me is that their Weltanschauung doesn’t allow them to believe in muscular and totalistic Christianity. They want the Pietistic Christianity where one gets saved, becomes an ever increasingly nicer person who fits into the expectations of their cultural surroundings with a pinch of abstract Jesus perfuming all they do.

These types have won the day in the modern “conservative” “Reformed” “Church.” They have done so because there is just a smattering of truth to what they say. That truth is found in the reality that too often it really is the case that the Reformed Church has indeed concentrated on a kind of therapeutic deistic morality disconnected from the living and resurrected Jesus Christ. We have not connected our morality enough to the office of Jesus Christ as our “eternal King who governs us by His Word and Spirit.” When we speak of properly disobeying Tyrants we should connect it with Christ’s office of our great High King. When we speak of not sending God’s covenant seed to be Humanist and Statist schools we should connect that statement that Christ, as our Great High Priest, was put to death for such sins and that as God’s Holy and Elect we should not want to sin by putting the children of God in the schools of Canaan. We need to do a better job in connecting the totality of Christianity with the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Prophet, Priest, and King. By doing so we reveal that it is the Reductionistic Gospelers who have perverted the Gospel of Jesus Christ and not those of us who want all of Christianity and not this Gnostic dualistic Christianity that is now offered up so routinely in our Reformed R2K Churches.

Those who desire a “Gospel-centered” Church to the neglect of a Christian Church are those who desire the seed of Christianity but insist they have no interest in bark, flower, leaf, fruit or branch, twig, stem, and shoot of Christianity. They desire a message that,

1.) God is big and Holy
2.) Man is small and sinful
3.) Christ provides a way for sinful man to come to a Holy God

And that is where they want to stop. Oh, they may include some instruction on how to be a “nice” person but they refuse to describe what the Christian life looks like in the public square. They refuse to talk about Christian culture or civilization. (Remember, those things are not possible). Where they are consistent they would refuse to bring to heel any civil Magistrate for any action except possibly the forbidding of worship. For these types Christianity is all purr and no bite.

Our enemy “Gospel-Centered” Christianity responds by insisting that “we can’t allow Biblical Christianity into the pulpit. After all, no minister can be so trained as to be an expert in all these varying fields. Pastors need to become experts in the Gospel and leave the other issues to the experts in their respective fields. We don’t want Lawyers or Teachers or Anthropologists trying to be experts in the Gospel and so we shouldn’t try to be experts in those fields.” Never mind that this attitude belies the reality that all truth is organic and inter-related so that a firm understanding on Biblical Christianity does indeed give one the ability to speak to the theology driving all these different fields. As a minister, I don’t need a degree in Cultural Anthropology to identify the evolutionary presuppositions that are driving Cultural Anthropology. As a minister, I don’t need a degree in Sociology to know that Emile Durkheim was selling a Sociology that allowed for sociological and cultural relativism. As a minister I don’t need a degree in Keynesian Economics to know that debt based economies violate the Eight commandment. I don’t need a degree in history (though I have one) to be able to warn God’s people against post-modern historians who insist that objective truth doesn’t exist. I don’t need a degree in Philosophy (though I have one) to identify that the Cartesian “cogito” foundationalism is an anti-Christ epistemology. I don’t need a degree in Political Science (though I have one) to tell God’s people not to vote for politicians who embrace a political theory that presupposes that God does not exist (Marxism). The excuse that ministers can’t be expert enough to speak to different fields God’s “Thus sayeth the Lord” is errant and filthy thinking. It can be done.

So, we have to admit that this “Reformed Christianity” is a different Reformed Christianity than that which Emily is expecting. This “Gospel Centered Christianity” is not the Christianity of our Reformed forefathers who put the fear of God in Kings and Queens who ruled in defiance of the God of the Bible. This “Gospel-Oriented” Christianity is not the Christianity of Jenny Geddes though I’d love to join Jenny in throwing a few stools at its representatives on a Sunday Morning. This Klinean Calvinism is for eunuchs, cowards, and the milquetoast. If this was the type of Calvinism that had been born at Geneva the whole world would have either been conquered by Servetus or been reconquered by the counter-Reformation of the Roman Catholics.







Happy 100th Birthday To Indiana Wesleyan University (aka — Marion College) Part II William’s Hall

Now before we start this entry it needs to be remembered that I have already admitted that I was not the model student while at Marion College. Nothing written hereafter can be understood apart from that stipulation. Indeed, I was not only not the model student, I probably had no business being in college at 18 years of age. At 18 I was ready for college the way that a eunuch is ready for his honeymoon night. As such my recollections are colored by that given. At 18 I was the kind of student who envied John “Bluto” Blutarsky (he of Animal House fame) for his study habits and academic diligence.

Of course when you arrived on campus one was immediately assigned a room-mate at Williams Hall. Dear sweet Williams Hall. It has now been retired and torn down but when I attended it was my residence for approximately 2 years during my 4.5 years of existence at Marion College. Williams Hall in 1977 – 1979 was one large building filled with competing male testosterone. Indeed, the African Serengeti had nothing on Williams Hall in terms of exotic male animal life. The third floor, (where I roomed) being the farthest point away from the Zookeepers apartment on the first floor, was where the wildest of the wildlife inhabited. There was even a rumor at one time that Marlin Perkins was going to film an episode of his famous “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom” at Williams Hall.

“Note the Marion College male in his own habitat. Elusive, untamed, designing.”

My roommate my first year could not have been more polar opposite than me and to this day some 43 years later I genuinely feel sorry that Tim had to have me as a roommate for a semester. Tim was a quality upperclassman music major who had everything going for him except his roommate. Whatever genius in the Administration who put us together had been watching to many episodes of “The Odd Couple.” I played the role of Oscar; A slovenly, recently paroled 18 year old who was convinced that “Life was a highway, I want to ride it all night long,” and Tim played the role of Felix; A fastidious, well bred, serious student. It just wasn’t possible that it would work out. Tim, rightly, dumped me in the Second semester moving in with the Resident Assistant next door. Consequently, I was the only guy on the third floor with a room all to myself. Slovenliness does have its perks after all.

Third floor on Williams Hall started every morning with one of the Baseball players (Randy — The Resident Assistant’s Bunky) routinely taking his baseball bat to varied and sundry doors on the floor so as to provide the courtesy of being a kind of “Babe Ruth” alarm clock for the inhabitants. 0730 would roll around and the mighty Babe was making a racket as against those metal doors that would have awaken the very dead. This was Randy’s shtick and boy howdy did he enjoy it. By the end of the year sundry doors on the third floor were left with sundry quarter size dents in those doors.

Understanding that “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” and having a baseball bat of my own, I decided to try my hand at Randy’s routine but alas I was no match for the great Babe Ruth and so gave it up after only a couple times in the batting cage. Now an odd thing happened on the way to the ballpark in regards to all this. At years end, the powers that be came in and examined the doors on the third floor — doubtless having heard the rumor that Babe Ruth had stalked the third floor of Williams Hall — and somehow, quite without interviewing me or asking any questions, I was the one who was billed for the various dented doors. Here Randy was the master and I the apprentice, who had only tried my hands a couple times at “good-morning door bashing,” and I had to cough up several hundred dollars to replace doors that were never replaced the whole four years I attended Marion College. Life can be funny that way.

William’s Hall. It was not unusual to find the guys on the second floor shooting bottle rockets out of their windows aiming for people as they sauntered to class. There is nothing like a bottle rocket whizzing past your ears to get the proper amount of adrenaline running for your 1pm exam.

William’s Hall. More than once I had to navigate the third floor with a compass because the smoke from the Doobies was so thick I couldn’t see. It was in Williams Hall I learned what the smell of Marijuana smelled like. Eventually, I became so skilled that I could even distinguish the various types of weed being smoked. Maui Gold was my favorite. (And No gang… it wasn’t me blowing smoke rings.)

William’s Hall. Where they had to lift the curfew because they finally realized that they could not out maneuver all the schemes the chaps could come up with for beating the curfew. I saw guys on the 2nd floor lowering down belts and rope to their friends at 0200 so that they could pull their buddies up so as to crawl through the windows.

William’s Hall. Where one morning we exited the foyer to go to class only to find a sub-compact car sitting squarely in the foyer as if it were a display vehicle at a Car dealership. I always did wonder how they got that car in there.

William’s Hall. Where the chief of the Marion Fire Department awakened the whole dorm one morning at 0300 in order to say in a not kindly voice, “I don’t care if your the damn Governor’s son, I’m going to nail your ass to the wall when I find out who placed smoke bombs in the Girls dorm and set them off.” What the Chief didn’t know is that there was a chap on the third floor who shared the then current Indiana’s Governor’s last name. Upon the Chiefs declaration cries of “Bowen you’re in trouble,” began to cascade through the throng of gathered students. The Chief briefly believed he had found the guilty party only to find out later that our own John Bowen was not related to the Governor nor related to the smoke bombs. (Actually they were smudge pots… but the Chief was in no mood to be corrected at 0300.) And “no” I had nothing to do with the smudge pots that found the Shatford Hall girls having to exit their dorm at 0200 in the morning and stand around outside in their evening clothes until the “all clear” sign was given by the Marion Fire Department.) I will say this though; to this day I’ve never seen so many Fire Engines gathered at one locale at the same time. At first glance, given the Fire Engines already present and the ones continuing to roll in, I thought the campus was burning down.

William’s Hall. Where the 2nd floor TV room was cleared so a good old fashion boxing match could take place between a 25 year old Englishmen student named Bernie vs. some 18 year old idiot who had never before worn a pair of boxing gloves in his life. It went three, three minute rounds with the 18 year old idiot leaving a significant black and blue eye on Bernie while himself walking away without a glove being laid on him.

William’s Hall. Though never intended to be a co-ed dorm could fool people from time to time.

And, these are only some of the milder accounts of my William’s Hall memories.

Now some will deny these things happened, but I was there and I’m here to tell you that these things and more happened and they should be remembered and noted for a milestone 100 year anniversary.

So, Happy Anniversary Indiana Wesleyan University and thanks for allowing me to add my memories to your fine shiny commemorative catalog you sent me.

Next entry: Meet the Profs.

A Biblical View of Conspiracy

In the last two or three weeks I’ve read several online articles from Evangelicals (whatever that is) basically condemning the idea of thinking about historical and current events through the prism of conspiracy. The accusation is brought in some of these condemning articles that people embrace conspiracy because they want to feel superior because they think they know the inside truth and others do not. Other accusations against conspiracy minded people include that such people are just paranoid, that they are distrustful, and that they are a little bit loony (tin foil hats).

Of course the only other option to a conspiracy view of events is what we might call the coincidence view of events. This view, quite without saying it explicitly, follows Henry Ford’s view that “history is just one damn thing after another.” The coincidence view of history sees historical events as spontaneous and ungoverned by any human mind.

Here we find a chief difference between the coincidental view of historical events and the conspiracy view of historical events. In the coincidental view of historical events God is sovereign and directs history but that quite apart from any human agency planning also via man’s secondary freedom. On the other hand in the conspiracy view of history God is still held as sovereign directing the affairs of mankind but He often does so via the agency of fallen men using their secondary freedom to try and thwart God’s intent for mankind. We see this clearly in Scripture in the account of Joseph where his wicked brothers conspired to be done with Joseph, all the while filling out God’s purposes,

Genesis 50:20 As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this— to preserve the lives of many people.

We see this clearly in Scripture in the account of the Lord Jesus Christ where his wicked brothers conspired to be done with Jesus, all the while filling out God’s purposes,

Acts 2:23 He (Jesus) was handed over by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.

In both cases we see that conspiracy was God’s means to accomplish God’s ends. God, being sovereign, used the agency of conspiring wicked men to achieve His ends despite the stated goals of the wicked in their conspiring. Neither the case of Joseph, nor the case of Jesus happened apart from conspiracy.

We find in Acts 23 an explicit reference to men conspiring,

12 The next morning some Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul. 

Conspiracies exist and the more wicked an age one lives in the more one is going to routinely see wicked men conspiring together to make something happen to an end that is illegal, unjust, and immoral. It is the way wicked men roll. Wicked men do not act out in the open in order to advance their skulduggery. Men love darkness because their deeds are evil and so they conspire. This is what the Psalmist declared in Psalm 2,

Why do the nations conspire
    and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
    against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
“Let us break their chains
    and throw off their shackles.”


When we get outside of Scripture we find good history books confirming this reality. For example whether you consider the work of Nesta Webster on the French Revolution or Anthony Sutton on the Russian Revolution, or M. Stanton Evans on the Maoist Revolution one thing that becomes instantly clear is that mega historical events do not happen apart from Conspiracy. This is not a matter of tin foil hat stuff. It is a matter of historical record. Read Webster. Read Sutton. Read Evans. If you want to read more of a macro approach to the Conspiratorial reality of Revolution read Billington’s “Fire in the Minds of Men.” It’s all there. Major Historical events do not happen apart from successful conspiracy happening.

Contra Rushdoony (who was resolute in dismissing conspiracy) to recognize the hands of Conspiracy behind Revolution is not to deny the Sovereignty of God. The conspirators are conspiring under God’s Sovereignty. God is not absent in ruling over their wickedness for His own ends. To recognize conspiracy does not necessarily move one into the camp of, “Man makes history while God just watches.” To recognize conspiracy is to be a student of God’s history and that by rejecting the court historians who craft history so as to leave God completely out of consideration.

Allow me to submit that if we are to be “the Sons of Issachar who know the times and what should be done,” we have to be conspiracy theorists about events around us. This is especially true when living in the age, such as we are, of the falling and rising of Imperial standards.

So, I’m a proud member of the “Conspiracy club.” I mean as we have seen Jesus would not have gone to the Cross except for God’s sovereignty over the conspiratorial plotting that manipulated Jesus to be put on the Cross. Everything about the Cross of Christ, according to the Gospel record, was moved by conspiracy — the shadowy working of unseen forces moving behind the scenes to bring about an end that is other than the reasons that are publicly being given for that end.

45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.

“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”

49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! 50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

51 He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, 52 and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one. 53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.

They “plotted to take his life.” Plotted is a synonym for “conspired.” They gathered as an illegal force to make something happen that was contrary to God’s law.

Now, lets consider the dangers of conspiracy thinking when it comes to historical events.

First, let us admit that conspiracy thinking can slip into “tin foil hat” theories. This is why we must seek to be skeptics in our examination of history. We must not give to quick of a credence to every conspiracy theory that comes down the pike. It only makes both us and the very real reality of conspiracy easily dismissed.

Second, if we are too preoccupied with conspiracy theory we are apt to forget that God is ruling through it all. If we forget that we become idolaters believing that the conspiracies of men are stronger than God’s laughter.

The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
    the Lord scoffs at them.
He rebukes them in his anger
    and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
“I have installed my king
    on Zion, my holy mountain.”


We must, at the same time, both seek to be God’s agents against wickedness while at the same time not forgetting that whatever ongoing wickedness we are considering God remains so sovereign that he laughs at those who conspire against Him. People may well be intending their actions for our hurt but God will use it for our good and so we should laugh with God. If we don’t realize God is sovereign we are likely to be consumed with our studies and so crash into despair.

The third danger here is that we may well forget to spend our energy doing the things God has called us to. Like Gollum we can so much time looking into secrets that we forget to look up at the sun. We can spend so much time seeking to uncover what is unjust that we forget to be busy about doing what is just.

A fourth danger is that we as Christ’s body can become divided over our differing conclusions on these conspiratorial matters. As such when we discuss these matters we must be generous with one another when our conclusions differ and we must be ready to learn from one another.

But what of the dangers of not thinking conspiratorially?

1.) If we don’t think conspiratorially we place ourselves firmly in the hands of the enemy camp. If we believe every narrative that we are told by the conspirators, often via their media outlets, we are in essence denying God’s providence, which repeatedly unfolds in the context of conspiracy, and we do so in favor of the lying conspirators.

For example, the Gospels are the red pill exposing the conspiracy of those who killed Christ. If we are not ready to believe the red pilling gospels then all we have left is to follow the narrative of Christ’s conspiring enemies.

It is the same in other historical events. It is either search out God’s providence or it is to believe the conspiring enemy.

2.) If we don’t think conspiratorially then our embrace of the doctrine of total depravity can easily become an abstraction.

Christians who refuse to even consider to look at historical events as conspiracy driven make me wonder if they really believe in Total Depravity.

Of course, you remember that the Biblical doctrine of Total depravity teaches that Fallen man can only sin all the time. All he can do is sin. Because he has a sin nature all that proceeds forth from him are sinful actions. Scripture repeatedly teaches this,

Isaiah 53:6 – All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way

Job 5:7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

And as Reformed people we memorize this and we put it into our catechisms but when we deny conspiracy we seem to contradict ourselves. When we deny conspiracy it seems as if we are saying to ourselves, “men could never be that wicked.” And yet that is exactly what total depravity teaches in terms of its implication. Man is that wicked. If man was wicked enough to conspire so as to hoist the innocent and perfect lamb of God on a Cross man is wicked enough to conspire to any end you can imagine.

Conspire to run world-wide pedophilia rings? Absolutely

Conspire to run a global psy-ops pandemic program so as to condition people around the world? Absolutely

Conspire to kill off billions of people in order to save the planet? Absolutely

|Conspire to seek via tran-humanism to meld humans and machines? Absolutely

Conspire to poison our food supply? Absolutely

Conspiring to needle us up with genetic material from aborted fetuses? Absolutely

Conspire to mainstream sodomy and Trans-genderism as consistent with God’s Word? Absolutely

To deny all this and other conspiring as a possibility strikes me as being a working out denial of total depravity. Man is born wicked and without checks on that wickedness man will conspire to do wickedness beyond what many of us refuse to consider as possible.

We live in a wicked wicked world and we have to put off our blinders of what magnificently rich and wicked men can conspire in order to follow their God…Lucifer.

If we are to be a people who take seriously the idea of the man’s total depravity then it strikes me that we need to consider the very real possibility that men conspire to these very wicked ends.

Conclusion

Having examined all this in my way of thinking there is no ability to be a wise Christian apart from engaging in and looking for the conspiracies around us. We are told in Eph. 5:11 that we are tasked with exposing unfruitful works of darkness.

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

One of the chief unfruitful works of darkness that needs exposed in wicked conspiracy.

It is as simple as this… if you don’t believe in conspiracies, then historically speaking at least, you are going against the grain of what we see in Scripture and history.

Unity Does Not Equal Uniformity


Yet as Afanasyev points out, “the progressive tendency in the Nationalism of the oppressed nations is not permanent. That is why the Marxist party, while supporting the struggle of the oppressed peoples for liberation, tries to free the working people from the influence of all bourgeois nationalism, because it is incompatible with proletarian internationalism.”

F. N. Lee
Communist Eschatology –pg. 460


This is important to note. Marxism will support nationalism and people group identity in the cause of defeating capitalism. However, this is only a temporary support to the larger agenda of stripping from people their national identity in favor of Internationalist amalgamation. When Marxists support a nationalist movement it is a classic case of dialecticism where they are supporting the antithesis of their thesis in order to arrive at their amalgamated synthesis.

This desire for complete amalgamation and blendering of all peoples into a unitary Borg has been noted repeatedly by observers of Communism throughout history. In the book “Marx and Satan,” Richard Wurmbrand writes,

“In Communism there will be no state, no division of the world into countries, and no social classes…”

John Edwards Richards, Presbyterian Theologian listing in 1973 the reasons for separating from the PCUSA, listed one of the reasons of wanting to be separate was what he believed that in the PCUSA were the,

“The Communists, who would have one mass of humanity coerced into oneness by a totalitarian state and guided exclusively by Marxist philosophy.

The Arminian Aiden Wilson Tozer, in a sermon noted the same about Marxists wanting Beehive oneness of all humanity as the Presbyterian Theologian John Edwards Richards noted above when Tozer said,

“You can’t change my mind about God having made us the way we are. The yellow man and the white man and the black man — God made our races. I know the Marxists and the bubbleheads say: ‘Oh, that’s old-fashioned baloney! Everybody should get together and intermarry and pretty soon there won’t be races, and where there are no races there won’t be any hate, and if there’s no hate, there won’t be any war.’ Oh, for cotton batting to stuff in the mouths of people who don’t know better than that!

Even the Marxists themselves explicitly said that they were working towards a globalist Unitarianism where all colors and people bleed into one;

“The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into small states and end all national isolation; not only to bring the nations closer together, but to merge them….”

Vladimir Lenin
The Rights of Nations to Self Determination — pg. 76

The idea that we need to do away with races, varied ethnicity and nations is an idea that runs straight through the Marxists right back to Satan. Those who support a Christianity that is defined as erasing all racial, ethnic, national distinction by putting them all into a blender or by recruiting them all to indistinguishable member cogs in a Church are doing the devil’s bidding. Your multicultural church is not Christianity. It is Marxism.

French Revolution Potpourri

One of the books I’m currently working through is Nesta Webster’s “The French Revolution.” I’ve spent a good portion of my life reading on the various Marxist Revolutions and even though the French Revolution pre-dated Marx there is a good deal of it that fits with those later Marxist revolutions. One could almost say that the French Revolution was a dress rehearsal for the later Revolutions. On that connection between the French Revolution and later Revolutions I would recommend James H. Billington’s “Fire in the Minds of Men.”

I am continuing to pursue this kind of reading because I am convinced that my continuing to familiarize myself with the epic Revolutions I will be able to better prove myself one of the “Sons of Issachar.” They were the ones in Scripture who “knew the times and what should be done.” I am convinced that while history is not cyclical it does have those who seek to implement tried and true Revolutionary methods, which have long been laid out, in order to effect disintegration downward into the void.

So I read of the French Revolution, the 2nd American Revolution (1861-1877) the Bolshevik Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, the Rhodesia – South African Revolutions, in order to locate the common thread that runs through each and all of them. The Marxists are nothing if not consistent in their Revolutionary techniques and the consistent application of them, though those methods might shift their forms depending on the situation on the ground.

One matter that is consistent (and there are several) is the deep and abiding hatred of Christ and the Christian faith. You will never find a Marxist Revolution that results in the honoring of the Risen Christ and His Church. In point of fact, the heart of all Marxist Revolutions is to de-god God and to en-god the Revolutionary elite and through them Lucifer.

With that said I offer up a potpourri of my reading from Webster and / or my thoughts inspired by reading Webster.

A.) Left & Right

It was the French Revolution that brought us the modern notion of the “Left” and the “Right.” The Jacobins (Montagnards) sat on the Left of the Speaker in the Assembly while the Girondins sat center left and those who supported Louix XVI (Constitutional Monarchists) sat on the Right in the National Assembly.

This is not without significance. The reason that “left” and “right” became designations is because the Left was making a statement. They knew that Christianity taught that those on the right of God were the saved while those on the left were damned. The seating arrangement reflected their attempt to overthrow God from His throne.

This mindset is underscored by the maxim of the left. They freely chanted, “No God, No King,” and took for a motto that “We will not be satisfied until the last King is strangled with the entrails of the last Priest.”

The French Revolution, like all Revolutions, is ultimately man’s attack on God. The one we are living through right now in the States is the same. Unless we put these God haters down (defeat them) they will do to us just what Revolutionaries have always done to God’s people in Revolutions.

This is not so much a political Revolution as it is a Theological and religious Revolution.

B.) Revolutionary Methodology Used to Condition Population for Revolution

The methods used throughout history in Marxist Revolutionary theory as regards to working on the minds of the populace are,

1.) Calumny

This is the technique of poisoning the people’s minds against the ruling order. Every lie is proclaimed to defame and destroy those who are opposing Revolution… and that at every level.

Most recently consider how the Dr. from Nigeria was destroyed after the Doc presser.

2.) Corruption

This is the technique that works to instigate in the population moral insouciance and turpitude. Laws are passed to allow perversion. The law turns a blind eye to immorality while hammering law abiding citizens.

3.) Terror

The people are filled with fear by the exercise of terror upon their minds. This makes the population easily malleable and open to every manipulative suggestion by the State. Masks are a terror technique in Revolution.

C.) July 14th & Blood & Unspeakable Cruelty

The Revolution of July 14, 1789 where Foullon, Berthier, and De Launay found their heads hoisted on pikes and marched around Paris provided the needed blood conditioning required for the eventual presence of madame La Guillotine. Before 14 July Paris, though restless, had not learned the taste for blood. 14 July changed all that and like the addict taking his first sip of alcohol which then screams for more, so 14 July turned Parisians into addicts for ever increasing torrents of blood. Indeed, the inhabitants of Paris became insatiable in their demand for blood letting and death.

D.) The Puppeteers of Revolution

Now, in all the great outbreaks of Revolution we shall find that the mechanism is fourfold, consisting of,

1.) Follow the Money-lenders
2.) the Instigators
3.) the Agitators
4.) the Instruments

The first are those ideologues who are financially situated to bankroll their ideas and desires for Revolution. In the end Revolution is not only theological but it is also financial. There is somebody behind the scenes who is making bank on financing Revolution. The financial motivation follows closely on the heels of the theological motivation. In history, names like Rothschild, Rockefeller, the house of Morgan, Carnegie, and others come to mind. The Money-lenders operate by the principle that their job is best done by being unknown and out of the public eye.

The second are those hired by the Money-lenders to put a hot-poker into the body-politic. George Soros is the most popular name today that falls under this category but you can be sure there are many besides George. In history you can think of a chap like Saul Alinsky.

The third category are those who are the shite-stirrers. There are multitudinous numbers of these types. Everyone from the top politicians (Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, etc) to the demagogues like Al Sharpton, Morris Dees and Jonathan Greenblatt to the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC and FOX.

The fourth category are those on the ground at the riots who are tasked with keeping the fire of Revolution hot and burning. They will typically be known only to the agitators.

Of these three classes only the last two incur any danger.

E.) Recounting the Horror

Thus is the character of all Revolutions;

“Meanwhile Foullon ‘s son-in-law, Berthier, was arrested at
Compiegne, in the midst of his efforts to assure the provisioning
of Paris. … This, of course, the revolutionaries could not forgive him, and Berthier was driven to Paris amidst the execrations of the populace. As he entered the capital, followed by a mob of armed brigands, the head of his father-in-law (Foullon) was thrust through his carriage-window on the end of a pike. Faint with hunger and sick with horror he reached the Hotel de Ville, but before the lantern could be lowered a mutineer of the Royal Cravatte plunged his sabre into his body. Thereupon ” a monster of ferocity, a cannibal,” tore out his heart, and Desnot, the ” cook out of place ” who had cut off the head of De Launay and again ” happened ” to be on the spot, carried it to the Palais Royal.^ This ghastly trophy, together with the victim’s head, was placed in the middle of the supper-table around which the brigands feasted.”

F.) Reading on the Storming of the Bastille.

Paris had a population of 800K. The mob that stormed the Bastille was apprx. 1000 people. Of that one thousand those who committed the atrocities were overwhelmingly a foreign element who had been paid to riot, murder, and pillage.

Dussaulx further testifies : ” They were men,” he says, ” armed like savages. And what sort of men ? Of the sort that one could not remember ever having met in broad daylight. Where did they come from ? Who had drawn them from their gloomy lairs ? ” And again : ” They did not belong to the nation, these brigands that were seen filling the Hotel de Ville, some nearly naked, others strangely clothed in garments of divers colours, beside themselves with rage, most of them not knowing what they wanted, demanding the death of the victims pointed out to them, and demanding it in tones that more than once it was impossible to resist.” Further, that they were actually hired for their task is evident. Mme. Vigee le Brun records that on the morning of this day she over- heard two men talking ; one said to the other, ” Do you want to earn 10 francs ? Come and make a row with us. You have only got to cry, ‘ Down with this one ! down with that one.’
Ten francs are worth earning.” The other answered, ” But shall
we receive no blows ? ” ” Go to ! ” said the first man, ” it is we
who are to deal the blows ! “

Dussaulx confirms this statement in referring to the lanterne, ” where butchers paid by real assassins committed atrocities worthy of cannibals.”

Nesta Webster
The French Revolution — p. 126

G.) From Chaos, Order Arises

There exists in Revolutionary theory the conviction that out of chaos order arises. As such, the more chaos that Revolutionaries can create the greater expectation that order will arise. This conviction is accounted for by the anti-Christ conviction that a God of Order did not create a orderly universe and instead order arose out of the chaos of disorder of time plus chance plus circumstance. The Revolutionary thus in seeking to return to a time of chaos is pursuing, in his sick, twisted, demented mind, order.

If the Revolutionary can kill enough people, destroy enough buildings, burn down enough property then a new Utopian order will arise out of the ashes.

You find this motif in the French Revolution, the American Civil War, the Russian Revolution, the Spanish Revolution, and many others.

Keep an eye out for that mindset in our current situation.
