Don't Tell Me, I Don't Wanta Know Ignore Sin, Promote Evil
By Al Cronkrite The Covenant News ~ March 08, 2008
"True wisdom comes from the overcoming of suffering and sin. All true wisdom is therefore touched with sadness”…the wonder of life and the universe has “died out of the modern world and been replaced by man's monkeylike amazement at the cleverness of his own inventive brain.” Whitaker Chambers
It is a terrible book (Witness, 1952, Random House), writes Chambers, terrible because of what it says about men and the world in which they live.
Truth is often terrible and because it is terrible it is shunned. Many do not want to believe that they and their fellows are evil and are additionally shocked at the depths to which that evil will extend.
Written truth is often more acceptable than spoken truth and truth from a source considered legitimate is often more acceptable than truth from one that is scorned. In truth-telling, newspapers are superior to television and preachers are superior to laymen. Accessible truth is not as necessary as hidden truth. The Evil One produces his schemes in darkness. It is the duty of the righteous to bring those schemes into the light.
Following WW II, Senator Joseph McCarthy fell into disrepute for exposing extensive Communist subversion. He was personally ruined and his name became an epithet. In spite of the fact that confessions from Whitaker Chambers and Elizabeth Bentley and the subsequent Verona Papers confirmed the Senators contentions, his righteous quest became known as “McCarthyism”; a denigrating term even today. His attempt to warn the nation of a dangerous conspiracy was thwarted, partially by the conspirators themselves but also by many who did not like the messenger and refused to accept the palpable truth he presented. Our failure to remove these dangers still haunts our nation. McCarthy was right but the truth-killers in our press and media have failed to acknowledge their error. Read about the exoneration of Senator Joseph McCarthy here.
In her book “Truth and Duty” former CBS News Producer Mary Mapes wrote about her investigation of Abu Ghraib;
“I have to confess I was shocked at the thought of American soldiers doing the things they were supposedly doing in the photographs: making inmates masturbate, grinning beside a dead body, stacking naked Iraqi inmates in a pyramid, attaching electric wires to an inmate. It was horrifying…Our sources were telling us many of the detainees at Abu Ghraib were often imprisoned for little more than driving through the wrong place at the wrong time.” (emphasis mine)
Powerful heads of corporations and members of our government are perfectly willing to horrify their adversaries. Mary Mapes may be shocked and horrified but they are not. A spirit of torture pervades the apogee of our government. Its definition is parsed but the act is easily recognizable. Read about torture and the Bush II Administration here.
A recent video showed young Liberian rebel fighters extracting and eating the heart and liver from a freshly killed enemy soldier. Toward the end a young soldier told the photographer it tasted good and he should try it. Watch a video at this site. Cannibalism is foreign to our culture and repulsive to our citizens but in pagan cultures where our God is not known it may be used to celebrate domination or to confirm a victory. Yes, it is true, people who speak English are also cannibals and instead of helping to redeem African cultures, we bring Africans into the United States to malign our own.
In an attempt to explain what it meant to be a Communist, Whitaker Chambers described three of his former heroes: One under a court imposed death sentence said, “We Communists are always under sentence of death.” Another insisted on cleaning the latrines of his fellow prisoners; “he held that the most developed member of any community must take upon himself the lowliest tasks as an example to those who are less developed”. Another, in protest of the flogging of other men, doused himself with kerosene and burned himself to death.
Chambers continued with this description,
“Communists are bound together by no secret oath. The tie that binds them across the frontiers of nations, across barriers of language and differences of class and education, in defiance of religion, morality, truth, law, honor, the weaknesses of the body and the irresolutions of the mind, even unto death, is a simple conviction: It is necessary to change the world. Their power, whose nature baffles the rest of the world, because in a large measure the rest of the world has lost that power, is the power to hold convictions and to act on them. It is the same power that moves mountains; it is also an unfailing power to move men. Communists are that part of mankind which has recovered the power to live or die to bear witness for its faith. And it is a simple, rational faith that inspires men to live or die for it.” (Emphasis mine)
Though Communists work in defiance of religion, morality, and truth and are willing to fight to the death, they are, as Chambers so eloquently points out, a competing faith. If Chambers were alive today he would with great sadness witness, as we do, the rising specter of world government; the culmination of the zeal of his former comrades and a result of good men doing nothing.
It is the ordained task of Christians to change the world but Communists have recovered this power and are using it while Christians sleep. It is that slumber that brings Christendom under the judgment of Almighty God. There is an unmistakable similarity between Christianity and Communism, but they are bitter enemies!
Pat Buchanan records historical details with accurate interpretation and lucid verbiage. “Where the Right Went Wrong” was published in 2004. It contains a measure of difficult truth not acceptable to the bias of United States readers.
Buchanan provides a detailed analysis of the religion of Islam in a chapter entitled, “Is Islam the Enemy?” He contends that we are not hated for what we are, as the current administration would have us believe, but for what we do and that if we are to evade a clash of civilizations we need to listen to their complaints. He lists five crimes that cause Arabs to hate us. 1. While preaching democracy and human rights we prop up corrupt dictators and oligarchies. 2. Occupation by soldiers, particularly women soldiers who are viewed as a defilement of the land. 3. The decadence of our domestic culture is creating a satanic lure for Islamic children. 4. The hypocritical double standard in our dealings with Arabs and Israelis. 5. The invasion and occupation of an Arab nation that did not attack us and did not want war with us. Millions of Muslims believe the United States is an “evil empire”. Can someone explain to me why they are not correct?
California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher is a senior member and former chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He is a supporter of the Bush II Administration’s policies in Iraq and of the recent surge in troop strength. He began an after hours talk from the house floor with these words, “Madam Speaker , I come to the floor tonight with a heavy heart. The nature of the allegations I make speaks poorly of this administration. In my heart of hearts, I have always wanted this administration to succeed, but the issue at hand is of such magnitude that the American people need to know what is being done and what precedents are being set… I have come to the sad conclusion that this administration has intentionally obstructed Congress' rightful and constitutional duties.”
Rohrabacher relates how his investigation of the bombing of the Oklahoma Federal Building turned up detailed evidence that McVeigh had accomplices. He says, “I gave this information to the Department of Justice and since that time have repeatedly sought their help in investigating this matter. Time after time, my requests have gone unanswered or have just been flatly denied.”
Repeated attempts by Rohrabacher to get information about the Iraq Security Agreement were met with silence and lies.
Sandy Berger stole classified papers from the National Archives that were related to the 9/11 terrorist attack. Rohrabacher has been able to find out exactly what they contained. Two years ago Berger agreed to take a polygraph test which has never been administered. The Bush Justice Department has now decided the test is not necessary.
Efforts to obtain factual information on the totalization agreement with Mexico which allows illegal Mexican workers to share in United States Social Security benefits was withheld from congress until it appeared in the papers. The legislation is now on the back burner but could be presented again at any time.
Investigations into the treatment of the two border guards, Ramos and Compean, who shot a drug smuggler along our border with Mexico has been stalled. The case never should have been tried but the prosecutor, U. S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, is a friend and protégé of President Bush and he has stymied efforts to gain their release. They are being held in solitary confinement.
In an unprecedented indictment Rohrabacher says, “What I am describing is a pattern of arrogance and contempt, and that is especially true not just with Social Security but with broader issues relating to illegal immigration and on issues dealing with Mexico.” and concludes that, “In a democratic society, policy is made after having an open dialogue. George Bush was elected President, not king”.
Pat Buchanan and Congressman Rohrabacher both relate difficult truth. However, in all of these discussions the unmentionable elephant in the room is the conspiracy to capture the entire world under a New World Order. No one mentions it. Rohrabacher does not mention the North American Union and its relationship to the policies of our current president and Buchanan does not mention the fortuitous timing of the 9/11 attack or the possible relationship of chaos in the Middle East to world government.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a God of openness and order. His adversary is the prince of disorder and hidden agendas. A house divided against itself cannot stand and when it topples the evil one intends that it topple into a Communist oriented New World Order.
In 1974 an article by former U. S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Richard Gardner, appeared in the Council on Foreign Relations publication Foreign Affairs. Gardner wrote, "the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down... but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault."
Richard Gardner is not a prophet. Richard Gardner is a conspirator! Does no one have the fortitude to call the progression of world government by its proper name? Are the pulpits of our Christian churches not able to discern evil? If they cannot discern evil, has not the salt lost its flavor and are they not candidates for the trash heap?
This truth, which has been repeatedly exposed but has never been granted national coverage by the media or by the fourth estate, has been rejected by most citizens because conspiracy theorists have been cast as wild eyed and mentally deranged. We are allowing the propagandists to win the battle and the truth to be silenced.
Those of us who clearly see the danger and try to warn our fellow citizens are given the same treatment that Senator Joseph McCarthy received. We are castigated, marginalized and shunned. Preachers greet our truth telling with the arrogance of silence and the Christian church continues on the evil road of successful self centeredness.
Christians might consider the difference between the confrontation of King David by Nathan the prophet and confrontation of King Herod by John the Baptist. King David repented and sought forgiveness while King Herod and his wife Herodius seethed and sought revenge. In both cases God’s messengers obediently confronted evil, one paid with his life the other gained respect. It is not for us to determine the results of our quest for righteousness. We are to confront evil and leave the consequences in God’s hands.
The wisdom Whitaker Chambers gained by overcoming suffering and sin came from God. God is the source of all Wisdom. He is also the source of ultimate Truth. Pagans attempt to evade reality and live in fantasy. Truth is more important than churches and ministries. It is more important than individual Christians. We are living an era when human emotions are put before reality. It is a sickness that ends in death.
The curtailment of free speech should be confined to God, His Name, His Spirit, and His dominion. Censoring free discourse on the Holocaust, Black history and Black conduct, Zionism, the New World Order, conspiracy, or any other issue is dangerous for the future of the nation. Without honest and open discussion, truth cannot be found, evil cannot be confronted, and problems cannot be solved.
Citizens of the United States are about to pay heavily for serious sins of both omission and commission. Take a few minutes and read some of the Executive Orders written by a president our voters have twice elected. This is what awaits us and what our willingness to live in a dirty house has created.
Will we overcome suffering and sin and gain wisdom? Will we see the error in our ways and like Whitaker Chamber repent? Will our pulpits come alive and begin to confront the conspiracy to enslave the world in a New World Order or will an evil, clandestine travesty be imposed without a whimper?
Gentle reader, if you have not taken time to read the links contained in this article please set aside time to do so. Whitaker Chamber’s letter to his children is linked at the bottom. It is long but rewarding. The vindication of former Senator Joseph McCarthy sets a foundation for understanding our world, Rohrabacher’s speech outlines the totalitarianism that has invaded our government and the Executive Orders of the Bush Administration set the stage for the future.
“Economics is not the central problem of this century. It is a relative problem which can be solved in relative ways. Faith is the central problem of this age. The Western world does not know it, but it already possesses the answer to this problem-but only provided that its faith in God and the freedom He enjoins is as great as Communism's faith in Man.” Whitaker Chambers.
