 Dear Friends,
A few weeks ago I received an e-mail letter from a man named Bill who lives some sixty miles away. He had learned of our work through a friend who introduced him to our Newsletter.Having "only read the December and January Newsletters..." he wrote, what strikes me is your dedication to truth, and that is a good thing. Truth to me is only possible when it is backed by proof. You cite much proof in the Newsletters, and that is good. Where you lose me is when you quote from the Bible... Faith to me is what believers fall back on when TRUTH cannot be proven, and that colors my FAITH in you..." [Capitals in original]. Just a thought. I can't ever remember asking anyone to have "faith in me." To the contrary, I have always advised people not to be foolish enough to have any faith in me. Rather, I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to check everything out for themselves. After all, I could add somewhat facetiously, I am not the One who declared, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (John 14:6). But that's another subject!
Understanding and Knowledge
In my reply, I drew Bill's attention to the fact that we all frequently "lack a correct understanding of the knowledge we have accumulated since birth. On a number of occasions I have written about our personal need for, (1) knowledge, (2) understanding, and (3) wisdom. Our correct understanding of the knowledge we have (whether it is right or wrong) leads to wisdom. If at all possible, it is best to learn from the mistakes made by others rather than from our own. It has been said that one sign of 'insanity' is our habit of making the same mistakes over and over again while expecting a different result each time. There is a lot of 'insanity' to be seen in today's world. In that sense, we are all 'insane' to one degree or another. Of course, any decision we make based on false knowledge (it may also be called 'education') or a false premise will inevitably have bad results. The results of such 'fabulous ideas' as socialism, communism, liberalism etc. bare this out. It must, of course, be acknowledged that the results borne by many religious organizations (allegedly based on the Bible) have been equally disastrous. As a result, many 'religious' people have lost their 'faith.' This is NOT the result of their Bible being wrong. It is the result of people building their faith on false premises 'sold' to them by others. VERY few 'religious' people are willing to follow the biblical admonition to prove all things; hold fast that which is good' (I Thessalonians 5:21). Instead, they assume most things, and thus end up in trouble.
"An important truth is that the decisions we make (politically, financially, socially, religiously, etc.) are only as good as the information upon which they are based. As 'they' say of computers, garbage in, garbage out.
"Personally, I believe that the Bible is the word of God. What others believe is up to them. I believe the God of the Bible is, (a) The Creator of all things, (b) The Designer of all things, (c) The Giver of Life, (d) The Originator and Implementor of all the laws of the Universe (both physical and spiritual), and that (e) The God of the Bible is the Sustainer of all things.
"In other words, (1) Creation demands a Creator, (2) Design demands a Designer, (3) Life demands a Lifegiver, (4) Laws demands a Lawgiver, and (5) Continuance of the Universe demands a Sustainer.
"The Universe is so indescribably intricate and balanced (consider, for example, DNA) that any other possible explanation just doesn't stand up to reason, and is-vain speculation. If I may take the liberty of quoting scripture, only 'a fool says in his heart [his innermost thoughts and convictions] there is no God' {Psalm 14:1).
"If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact me again. I would very much welcome a phone call (503-824-2050). Years of experience has shown that much more can be accomplished in a short period over the phone than in numerous e-mails and letters. Over the phone, issues can be addressed immediately. Questions can be answered right away."
That somewhat brief exchange is the only contact I have had with Bill so far. I have no doubt that he is a sincere, bright, and intelligent individual. It is highly probable that he is a well educated person who is a typical product of America's government-sponsored (taxpayer-funded) indoctrination system masquerading under the grossly misleading label of being an "educational system." Almost certainly, when going through school and college Bill was never taught to "prove all thing" for himself. I doubt very much if he was ever encouraged to scrutinize and challenge the validity of what was he was being taught from the textbooks, and to check out their conclusions from either an historical perspective or in the light of the results they produce. Undoubtedly, such a time-tested method of research and verification was discouraged if not roundly condemned by his "educators" (brain washers or "change agents" in the schools). Instead of being taught to think logically and analytically, instead of being encouraged to challenge basic premises and test their validity from every conceivable angle, he was probably encouraged to behave like a parrot in a pet shop - and repeat, as "fact," everything that was pumped into his plastic, unsuspecting mind by his instructors, or those he trusted. His knowledge, or perception of the Bible probably came from the writings of such educational "experts" as Paul Brandwein who pontificated that, "Any child who believes in God is mentally ill" (Social Sciences, 1970, p. 10).
For some 170 years after the founding of our nation its educational system was based on the laws and principles clearly outlined in the Bible. In virtually every school across the nation the basic premises of biblical doctrine were routinely taught as part of the curriculum: These included the ABCs listed above - plus basic principles such as self-government, personal responsibility, productivity, the vitally important nature of the family unit, and the fact that everyone will eventually be judged by the Creator God. The results spoke for themselves.
Secular Humanism
That began to change slowly about 100 years ago with the injection of another religious belief system into the American equation. The new religion was Secular Humanism. In essence humanism is merely a twisted modern form of the Satanic lie that man can become "as god" - and thus be his own savior (Genesis 3:5). In modern society, this Satanic religion manifests itself in a variety of forms and under a multitude of disguises: socialism, communism, fascism, liberalism, one-worldism, etc. Unrecognized by most, these are all working toward the achievement of the same goal or purpose: the creation of a Godless one world government. The leaders of these movements are merely carrying out instructions issued by Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Luciferian Illuminati some 230 years ago: "The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; never let it appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation" (Proofs of a Conspiracy, by Dr. John Robison, 1797, p. 195). Although they may appear to be in "opposition" to each other, they are in fact just different tentacles of the same Luciferian octopus. They are all part of the demolition crew taking part in a Luciferian "urban renewal" project preparing the way for the New World Order.
Being Satanic (or Luciferian) in nature, such demonically-inspired insanity can only thrive when operating in a controlled society - one in which such insanity is forced upon the people by way of edicts passed down from the top echelons of government and heavily promoted through the controlled media and State-sponsored "education." Thus, all "opposition" can be controlled or kept in close check through a sustained campaign designed to denigrate those who express any opposition to their agenda. Such "enemies" are systematically ridiculed and den-ionized, and have outrageously false accusations brought against them. "Political correctness" is just one of the tools used as a control mechanism in society at large. If one is not "politically correct," one is officially classified as being "anti-government," "mentally ill," or as being "non-rehabilitatable." In the (1973) words of Professor Pierce of Harvard University, those "with allegiance towards our elected officials, our founding fathers, toward our institutions, toward the preservation of this form of government ... patriotism, nationalism, sovereignty ... [are] sick, because the only truly well individual is one who has rejected all these things and is what I call a true internationalist]..."
 Modern "experts" tell us it is "criminal" to teach people traditional values such as morality, the need for close families, love of country, strict honesty, and the truth about themselves as revealed in the Bible (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 8:7, and Galatians 5:19-21). To tell people they need to repent of what they are by nature would be ego shattering and have a devastating effect on their self esteem. In fact, it would be tantamount to complete ego destruction. Being rebellious and self-willed, these experts have rejected the Sovereign God's supernatural plan of redemption and salvation. In its place they have substituted the Satanic/humanistic/masonic idiocy that people can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, and thus be their own saviors. No wonder so many people are mentally confused and find themselves wandering around aimlessly in the warped and twisted labyrinths of such perverted "reasoning."
Truly, "Satan (has) deceived the whole world" (Revelation 12:9).
[Speaking personally, I would much rather be biblically and factually correct than embrace the God-defying, mind-destroying moronic concepts of humanism. How about you?]
Rockefeller's General Education Board
"Occasional Letter #1"
This type of "education" - an Establishment-sponsored brainwashing exercise in which no contrary opinions are permitted, and in which one is ridiculed and demonized for even asking questions - has led our once great nation down a path that can only end in its descent into slavery. We need also to recognize such conditions as being an almost perfect fulfilment of a "dream" laid out more than 100 years ago by the Rockefeller-sponsored General Education Board: "In our dreams we have limited resources [a future taxpayer-funded "national" educational system], and the people yield themselves with perfect docility into our molding hands. The present education conventions [belief in God, biblical absolutes, self-government, personal responsibility, etc.] fade from their minds and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk...." (Occasional Letter #1, 1904). As a nation ofzombies, and "unhampered by tradition," the United States is right in line and on course to take an ignominious plunge from Freedom to totalitarian Fascism. As I reveal in my article, "'Where Now, Mr. President?, in the March/April Midnight Messenger (Issue #132), the Bush administration recently slipped into law (tucked quietly into the huge defense budget bill without hearings or public debate) provisions that make it easier for a president to override local control of law enforcement and declare martial law in the event of a natural disaster, a disease outbreak, or "other conditions." It appears that Mr. Bush and his Washington friends may be anticipating major civil disruptions when the nation is faced with the consequences of their actions. The political "leaders" and their puppet masters - motivated by their own survival instincts, their personal lust for power, and unable to think outside their humanistic assumption that man can be "as god" - will be looking for scapegoats upon whom to hang the blame. Who fills that role more perfectly that "radical" fundamentalist Christians who believe in the Sovereignty of God and the Lordship of Jesus Christ? They are the ones who so adamantly oppose the Luciferian insanity that man can be his own "god" and create his own Utopian society. The Luciferians hate the followers of the One who is "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6) and will do everything in their power to eliminate them from the face of th earth. I believe Scripture makes this clear (See, Storming the Gates of Hell).
It's A Spiritual Battle
Always bear in mind that the battle in which we find ourselves is not physical or political in nature: "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness (or wicked spirits) in high places" (Ephesians 6:12). Being flesh and blood, we can't successfully fight and win that spiritual battle on our own. We need supernatural help. We, therefore, need to "take (on us) the whole armor of God, (so that we) may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness... Above all, taking on the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (vs. 14-17). We all need to be sanctified through that truth (John 17:17). We also need to redeem the time (Ephesians 5:16), lest our efforts be in vain.
The bottom line: "Why do the heather rage and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against his anoiiit(Christ, Luke 4; 18) saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh, and the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure" (Psalm 2:1-5). The final battle between the Lord Jesus Christ and Satan is briefly but graphically pictured in Revelation 17. Here we see pictured at end-times the forces of the Luciferian anti-Christ. "These shall make war with the Lamb (Christ, John 1:36) and the Lamb shall overcome them for he is the Lord of lords, and, the King of kings, and they that are with him are called, chosen and faithful" (v.l4). The same scenario is elaborated upon in Revelation 19:11-16.
God's judgment will soon to poured out on this Satanically-inspired Babylonian System.
What is the Sovereign God's command to believers right now? "Come out of her, MY people that ye may not be partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" (18:4)
Let God be true, but every man a liar (Romans 3:4).
Best Wishes, Des Griffin
