The time of complete political victory within the Republican Party (GOP) is nigh at hand for President Bush. When a sitting President is about to be nominated for re-election, that President controls every single aspect of the nominating convention. And, why not, for the entire purpose of the convention is to so honor the incumbent Chief Executive that voters watching the coronation will be so thrilled as to who he is, and what he has done for the past four years, they will want to vote for him again.
Therefore, the President tightly controls every aspect of the convention. His men control every committee and subcommittee. His leaders control every detail, every speech, and every speaker. Thus, the list of speakers at the convention is the list the President wanted to speak on his behalf. Keeping this fact firmly in your mind, let us now review how President Bush has betrayed the Christian Evangelical Religious Right on the one hand while satisfying the Pro-Abortion, Pro-Gay/Lesbian and Pro-Gay Marriage elements of the Republican Party.
NEWS BRIEF: "GOP religious right gets left out", by Brian Faler, Washington Post, reprinted in the Azcentral.com, Aug. 14, 2004
"WASHINGTON - With a certain pro-abortion rights, pro-gay marriage, Hollywood action star-turned-governor and a very moderate former mayor of New York City listed as the top prime-time attractions at the Republican National Convention, one might wonder where that leaves the party's most-faithful religious conservatives. How about nowhere?"
Included in this list of key speakers at the convention are former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Arizona Senator John McCain, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and New York Governor George Pataki. Additionally, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will open the convention. The fine art of sending political messages to one group of people while hiding that same message to other groups of people is one of the most interesting of all political activities. In this instance, regular news media noted only that the speakers at the Republican Convention were "New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Arizona Senator John McCain, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and New York Governor George Pataki" with New York City Mayor Bloomberg officiating the opening ceremony."
This bland statement would pass unnoticed by the average American citizen and nearly all Born Again Christians.
However, Gay activists would jump with joy, because each of these men are known in the Gay community because of their pro-Gay policies! All of these politicians are decidedly a part of the Illuminist plan to change America and the world so that the world may enter into the New World Order.
We have already noted Senator McCain's credentials to being a trusted insider (NEWS1354, "Senator John McCain Signals His Illuminist Membership and Backing As His Wife Boldly Wears the Phoenix Bird Pin During His Celebration of the New Hampshire 2000 Presidential Primary Win").
Similarly, we posted several warnings about the Illuminist credentials of Arnold Schwarzenegger.* On the October 13, 2003, Daily News Updates, we ran the following article from the online edition of the San Francisco Chronicle, called "SFGate".
NEWS BRIEF: "Bohemian Grove Selects Schwarzenegger To Run For Governor", by Matier and Ross, SF Gate, July 23, 2003
"... The biggest question, of course, is whether Arnold Schwarzenegger -- who just got back from a European promo tour -- will make this the biggest story of the year by jumping into the fray. And now that the clock is ticking, the time for playing cute is rapidly coming to an end ... From what we've hear, the Republican hierarchy -- especially those close to former Gov. Pete Wilson -- would favor Schwarzenegger. At least that's the word that came out of the Bohemian Grove this past weekend, where a number of state and national GOPers, including presidential adviser Karl Rove, happened to have gathered at a club getaway."
When the Satanic Bohemian Grove selects a candidate, you know that person is a trusted Illuminist insider. In fact, since Schwarzenegger was elected California Governor, talk has been steadily occurring hinting that a Constitutional amendment needs to be passed which would allow foreign-born Arnold to run for President!
We have also noted that Schwarzenegger is very pro-abortion. His Illuminist credentials seem impeccable
Therefore, when the Republican Convention asks only these type of men to speak, you may safely assume that this is the direction President Bush intends to go during his second term. One can reach no other logical conclusion. Evangelical Christian leaders were getting the message, as we see when we go back to our featured article in the Washington Post.
"Religious leaders such as Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson say that not only have they not been offered any speaking roles at the convention, but just three weeks beforehand, they have yet to be invited. Could it be that in a race so tight that every swing vote is being chased like the most popular kid in school, the Republicans don't want to alienate moderates with the in-your-face religious oratory of its most-partisan supporters? The snub has offended religious leaders. Christian Coalition founder Robertson, who has attended every GOP convention since 1988, said he will not be going this year, even if an invitation makes its way to his mailbox. James Dobson, of the Focus on the Family broadcast, likewise does not plan to attend."
At the 1992 Republican Convention, President Bush, Sr., caught a lot of flack because he invited several Evangelical leaders to speak at his convention. Later, after he lost the election to Bill Clinton, some commentators looked back to the convention and wondered if President Bush, Sr., had not alienated many "mainstream" American voters who did not appreciate hearing these Christian leaders. However, this time around, I wonder if commentators will not opine that the reason President Bush lost the election -- if, indeed, he does lose it -- was because he had alienated 70 million Christian voters?
After all, if a significant number of those Christian supporters stay home in the Fall Elections, the case can be made that President Bush had alienated this very large Christian segment of voters. Yet, when planning for the nominating convention which is specifically designed to make the President look good and ensure his re-election, President Bush could have, should have, and would be expected to have, given some significant role for a high-profile Christian leader. Just one speech late at night would have sufficed! Yet, Bush chose to hand the Christian Evangelical Right a great big goose egg!
How can this be? How could a President whom many people really thought was a Born Again Christian actually plan a convention whose keynote speakers -- and therefore, general convention direction -- represent the most anti-christian viewpoint in this country? Why, these men have views normally ascribed to Liberal Democrats like Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry! How could Evangelical Christians have been so deceived?
THE CURRENT POLITICAL ROAD TO THE RUIN OF THE EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN RIGHT
"Get
'em saved; get 'em baptized; get 'em registered."
--Slogan
at an evangelical workshop on political action
Evangelical
Christian leadership began down to the road to ruin in 1978, when four secular
men with no claims to being Born Again aggressively reached out to "build
bridges" between Conservative Christians and secular Conservatives. Listen
to the story:
"The effort to build bridges between secular and religious conservatives was spearheaded by four activists with no background in the Christian Right community: Howard Phillips of the Conservative Caucus; John 'Terry' Dolan of the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC); Paul Weyrich of the National Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress; and Richard Viguerie, a major fund-raiser for conservative causes. The basis for coalition would be a frontal attack on 'big government' as a threat to traditional religious and economic values. In response, the National Christian Action Coalition, the first national organization of the Christian Right, was launched in 1978. Television evangelist Jerry Falwell organized the most prominent of the new organizations, Moral Majority, in 1979. To reach into the Southern Baptist Convention, Ed McAteer started the Religious Roundtable, while Christian Voice, composed primarily of members of the Assemblies of God, concentrated on the western states. The leaders of these movements embraced the issues that concerned secular conservatives, but they did so with a religious rationale." ["The Political Mobilization of the Christian Right", by Bryan F. LeBeau, Creighton University]
For many decades before 1979, key Christian leaders and pastors urged their followers to keep away from politics altogether, because only corruption and disaster seemed to come out of Washington. Citing our Lord's admonition to "come out of her My people" [Revelation 18:4], these Christian leaders warned that any Born Again believer who became active in politics would inevitably soil himself with the dirty nature of that political beast, while having no hope of ever changing the nature of politics. At the time, I thought this advice to be extremely short-sighted, for the human reasoning for a Christian to get involved in politics seemed even more plausible:
"The best way for wicked men to succeed is for good men to do nothing".
However, when I survey the "Christian Evangelical Right" today, I am amazed that the Biblical admonition of "Separation" stands true! Since Christians have misunderstood the nature of the enemy and of his devices, and since many Christians -- even some preachers and Bible teachers -- do not really conduct their lives by the Bible, Christian activists have been totally deceived and mislead since 1979, and are about to be mislead again in 2004. Religious Right voters supported Presidents Reagan, George Bush, Sr., and now George Bush, Jr., along this line of reasoning. And, they have absolutely nothing to show for it!
Let us examine the current state of affairs, as President George W. Bush prepares to receive his coronation as President of the United States for the second time.
NEWS BRIEF: "Bush’s Coming Betrayal of the Evangelicals", by Christopher Manion, LewRockwell.com
"Ever since the invasion of Iraq, Karl Rove has been traveling the country mobilizing the evangelical vote for the 2004 elections. In city after city, he is meeting with evangelical leaders. He begs: 'in 2000, only 16 million of you voted. We need the other four million'. Rove has coupled these overtures to evangelicals with similar meetings with the Jewish community (in Cincinnati, he left the evangelical meeting to join the representatives of Jewish organizations one floor up in the same hotel). In both meetings, Rove stresses the importance of President Bush’s invasion of Iraq and his support of Israel. But only with the evangelicals does he stress the president’s unwavering support for the moral issues that are their priorities – abortion, pornography, judges, and (most important) the Marriage Amendment. Howard Baker used to say, 'That door swings both ways'."
"But this one is going to be slammed in the face of the evangelicals. And they should see it coming."
This adviser, Karl Rove, is the same person who helped President Bush celebrate the first-ever Diwali Hindu ceremony in the White House, honoring the Lord Ganesha and Goddess Laxmi, invoking their blessings during this age-old Festival of Lights celebration. Bush sent his good wishes and stated he would have liked to have participated; however, Rove did participate in this pagan ceremony, lighting candles and lamps. [Covered in Newsletter of 12/6/2003]
After reading the revelations of Christopher Manion, you have to wonder if Rove might not be Bush's ecumenical religious guru!
Manion then revealed that, in the 18 long months between the attacks of 9/11 and the actual invasion of Iraq (3/20/03), Rove continually built up Evangelical support for President Bush's invasion policies; he then reveals how critically important the Evangelical support was to the invasion of Iraq.
"During the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, the administration worked hard to firm up the alliance of Jews and Christian evangelicals supporting the war ... In late 2002, the alliance which Friedman describes was deployed in support of the invasion of Iraq. Without the unswerving support of the evangelicals, it simply would never have happened. Evangelical leaders strongly supported the war in theological terms that were nearly apocalyptic." [Ibid.]
Once again, Evangelical leaders were urging their members to support Bush's invasion plans, even though the Bible clearly states that the End of the Age war will occur after Israel comes back to her land and that it will begin in the Middle East (Joel Chapter 3). Once again, we see Evangelical leaders taking a stand opposite to that which Biblical doctrine and knowledge should have led them. Why can't Evangelical leaders see that anything which smacks of Globalism after Israel has come back to the land is probably of Antichrist and should be avoided? The Tower of Babel story should be enough warning that God's plan stipulates that there should be many nations in the world, none of which would be allowed to control the whole world, while Satan's plan is to unite the whole world in a Global government, economy and religion! Yet, preachers all over this land extol the very American government who has been gradually leading the world into acceptance of just such a global system, and when a president arises who tells us that he needs a global war on terror, and that this war must begin in the Middle East, preachers cannot see the obvious truth -- that such a president is leading us to the Kingdom of Antichrist. One preacher actually was heard on December 14, 2003, stating that he hoped Saddam Hussein would be tried in a Global Court!
Let us now return to Manion:
"Well, the neocons got their war, with the fervent support of the evangelicals. Now the evangelicals want the country to address their priorities. What about the filibustered federal judges? What about the Marriage Amendment? Will the neocons, in gratitude for the indispensable support of the evangelicals for the war, return the favor and support the conservative moral agenda?
"Don’t hold your breath.
"Quite the contrary, in fact. The last fortnight has witnessed the emergence of a long-planned neocon assault on any and all efforts to put legal protections of traditional marriage on the books. Day after day, neocons have mounted a concerted barrage across Bush’s bow. Safire, Brooks, Sullivan, and virtually everyone at National Review and the Wall Street Journal have sent Bush and Rove a counterintuitive message: the Marriage Amendment will divide, not the Democrats, but the 'Republicans' (in other words, the neocons would jump ship).
"And what is President Bush, the firm-jawed, resolute leader in crisis, going to do? He’s going to cave." [Ibid]
At this point, Manion speaks of President Bush as being a victim of "neocon" manipulation; the truth is that he has planned to put the shaft to Evangelical Christian leaders from the very beginning! Bush is not a loose cannon, but a president very carefully controlled by the Illuminati, most probably by Vice President Cheney. Since the disaster of 9/11, President Bush has carefully followed the Illuminati plan to create the global atmosphere which would allow the New World Order to finally be established.
I well remember the broken promises of President Reagan on Abortion. Despite eight long years of repeated rhetoric against Abortion, President Reagan actually did nothing to fight this evil. All that Evangelical Christians got from Reagan was empty rhetoric. Yet, Evangelical Christians are currently placing similar faith in the "Christian" Bush.
If you needed any additional evidence that the deliberate Bush betrayal is currently unfolding in our Daily News, this next article should persuade you.
NEWS BRIEF: "Bush Comments on Marriage, Alarm Supporters and Detractors", by Susan Jones, Morning Editor, Crosswalk.com, 12/22/03
"(CNSNews.com) - President Bush's most recent comments on same-sex marriage are prompting concern from both the left and the right. In an interview with ABC News Tuesday, President Bush - asked about his position on a constitutional amendment to defend the traditional definition of marriage - replied this way: 'If necessary, I will support a constitutional amendment which would honor marriage between a man and a woman, codify that,' Bush told ABC's Diane Sawyer. 'The position of this administration is that whatever legal arrangements people want to make, they're allowed to make, so long as it's embraced by the state or at the state level'."
The person with discernment will immediately recognize the tell-tale signs of duplicity in this statement.
First, Bush is using words of reluctance to express his support for a Constitutional Amendment to ban Gay Marriage. When he says, "If necessary, I will support", Bush is really saying, "If you twist my arm really hard, I will support a Constitutional Amendment". That kind of reluctant support of this amendment is not the stern stuff of the Bible. Repeatedly, God uses the term, "Thus saith the Lord", to back up His commandments. A president filled with the Holy Spirit would speak out much more sternly against Gay Marriage than this statement reveals.
Bush also conveniently forgets to remind his Evangelical supporters how very difficult our Founding Forefathers made it to change the Constitution or to add an amendment. The likelihood that such an amendment would ever be passed is very slight to begin with; but, then, Bush showed his duplicity with a statement that so cleverly parsed his words that even Bill Clinton would have been impressed.
"'The position of this administration is that whatever legal arrangements people want to make, they're allowed to make, so long as it's embraced by the state or at the state level."
President Bush is fully aware that states like Vermont, California and Massachusetts have been creating "legal arrangements" that allow Gay and Lesbian couples to have most of the benefits of marriage without it being called, "marriage". Thus, Bush is saying that he supports such creative state concepts as these! The Gay/Lesbian community lost no time praising Bush's duplicitous statement!
NEWS BRIEF: "Log Cabin responds to Diane Sawyer's interview with President Bush", Log Cabin Republicans, December 16, 2003
"We absolutely agree with Vice President Cheney, and now President Bush, that these issues should be dealt with by the states. Conservatives have always believed in states having authority over these issues,' said Guerriero. 'The proposed Federal Marriage Amendment would not only ban civil recognition of gay families, it would also strip fundamental rights and responsibilities from those families. Supporting the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment is wrong, it is not necessary and would codify discrimination in our Constitution,' concluded Guerriero."
It is obvious that these Gay Log Cabin Republicans believe that the way in which to establish "gay families" is to throw the issue back to the individual states, just as President Bush is suggesting. We also find it highly interesting and instructive that the name of V.P. Cheney pops up in this endorsement, as Cheney is clearly the Illuminati point man in ensuring that Bush will continue to hold to the planned script in all matters during this most critical time in the establishment of the New World Order.
Let us go back briefly to the Log Cabin Republicans for one more informative quote. You will see why Gays are so enthused about the policies of President Bush.
"Log Cabin believes in civil recognition of loving gay and lesbian couples in law-abiding,taxpaying committed relationships. This basic recognition will encourage stable families, offer tax fairness, insure inheritance rights and guarantee hospital visitation rights. Civil recognition will in no way interfere with religious traditions or religious freedom."
This is the goal of all Gays and Lesbians, to "encourage stable families, offer tax fairness, insure inheritance rights and guarantee hospital visitation rights" for all "legal arrangements" which the various states are now creating to allow "gay families" without calling it "marriage". And, the Gays believe President Bush is on the right track in supporting states' rights in this issue!
Now, let us go back to our feature article to see how the Illuminati feels about the Evangelical Christian, whose leadership has given Republican Presidents since Reagan such unqualified support, even though they have received nothing in return.
"Newt Gingrich is right: not only has U.S. policy in Iraq gone 'off a cliff', but the support for Bush’s war from moderate Democrats, which was tepid and surly to begin with, threatens to do so as well. And Bush simply can’t survive without that support. The neocons,on the other hand, only needed it to get the war started. They don’t need it any more. But Bush does. Hence, those indispensable Democrats, unanimously opposed both to the Marriage Amendment and to Bush’s judges, are going to demand their pound of flesh. And they are going to get it.
"When they do, evangelicals will raise the roof (if not more) ... The neocons have always appreciated the duplicitous Maoist dialectic. Working both sides of the fence, and speaking out of both sides of their mouths, comes as second nature to them. So, sometime after 9-11, and before the Iraq invasion, we can assume that they went to their fellow Democrats and laid out their case along these lines: 'We’re surprised at the sudden prominence we have acquired in this administration, but we’re going to use it for all it’s worth. We would like to have your support on our key issues, and, in return, you will have ours, because, after all, we agree on them – we always have.
" 'But you need to understand something. You will begin to see us in an alliance with evangelical Christians, the 'Religious Right', the bane of your existence. Do not fear. We are using them, on a single-issue basis, for one goal only – to achieve our designs for the Middle East. We know their theology is laughable, but it is also useful. Don’t worry, we will not reciprocate when they begin asking us for our support on 'moral' issues. We promise you that. In fact, we will make sure they fail on those issues ... You and we agree on the same ends. And we will make sure that the evangelicals don’t frustrate those ends ...." [Op. Cit., Manion]
Therefore,
as the campaign unfolds, expect that President Bush will try to keep the Evangelical
vote in line with mere empty words, but he will do what he can to ensure the much
more rabid support he is getting from the Gay - Lesbian community and all those
Liberal voters who believe it is laudable to be "broadminded" in matters
of sexual preference.
Republican leaders know that, for all their belly-aching,
many Evangelical voters will still go to the polls to vote for President Bush,
falsely assuring themselves that, if they don't vote for him, they will get "far
worse" in the Democrat candidate. Poor evangelicals! They will never understand
the Dialectic Struggle and how it is continuously being used against them; they
will never understand that the Democrat Party forms the Thesis part of the equation
while the Republicans form the Antithesis part in the Dialectic formula.
If the Illuminati can keep poor Evangelical Christians fooled by the same tactic, why change? Give empty words, empty promises, knowing you will never really and truly be held accountable.
And, if the Democrat candidate wins the presidential election, the Illuminati simply goes with the Thesis candidate instead of the Antithesis, and the beat goes on! No matter which party's candidate wins the election, the Plan of the Great White Brotherhood for the global system of which Antichrist can arise to take control will go on. We discuss this reality in more detail, below.
And the Evangelicals have no idea. Listen to a couple of snide
"neocon" remarks about Christianity and Christians:
"Evangelicals
are are just as 'poor, undereducated, and easily led' - Washington
Post, 2001 - Illuminati Viewpoint of all Evangelical Christians
"This coming year Bush will mouth repeated pieties about the sacred character of marriage, and do … nothing."
Evangelical Christians
are going to continue to fall for the clever Illuminati trap until they disengage
from active participation in the politics that the Illuminati controls and until
we vigorously apply Jesus' rule that we should examine a person's spiritual fruits,
and from this examination, reach a firm conclusion as to their probable spiritual
state.
CONCLUSION
As the nation heads into the beginning of the 2004 Presidential election, President Bush will attempt to skillfully keep all voters who cast their ballots for him in 2000. He will offer rhetoric that will appeal to all voters, while attempting to avoid alienating any of them. Evangelical Christians should discover that Bush will not undertake any real action that would fulfill any of t heir national concerns; rather, he will continue to only speak about these "Hot-Button" issues during the campaign. Once the campaign is over and he is re-elected, he will once again refuse to actually carry out any of these promises.
Christopher Manion is entirely correct: President Bush is about to betray Evangelical Christians -- knowing such action will not cost him many votes -- because most Evangelical Christians are not only clueless, they do not know that they do not know.
Truly, Jesus was correct in Matthew 24:24, when He warned of unparalleled political and spiritual deception at the End of the Age.
Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.
If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
Finally, we would love to hear from you.
