Cleansing Bloodlines in The Courts of Heaven

One of the things the devil uses against us the most is the iniquity in our bloodline. Most of us are aware of our own sins and transgressions. We know our own stuff. We recognize where we have fallen short.

However, things buried in our bloodlines can be a little more difficult to deal with. Remember that when Daniel and others were seeking to get Israel out of captivity and back to their inheritance, they repented for their personal sins and the iniquity of their fathers. Daniel 9:16–17 shows some of this repentance.

O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are a reproach to all those around us. Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, and for the Lord’s sake cause Your face to shine on Your sanctuary, which is desolate.

Notice that Daniel made his supplication and intercession concerning their sins and iniquities for the Lord’s sake. In other words, he was pointing out to God His interest in this matter. God, as a covenant-keeping God, would want to see His people restored to their land and inheritance. He would desire His purposes in them fulfilled but also His reputation in them maintained.

When Daniel repented for the iniquities of the fathers, he was not seeking to change their eternal destiny. The Bible says it is appointed to man once to die and then to face the judgment. We find this in Hebrews 9:27.

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.

Every man will be recompensed for the life he has lived. Nothing can change this. However, repenting for the iniquity of the fathers removes satan’s legal right to use it against us. We are not seeking to change eternal destinies.

When we take responsibility for our own sins and the sins of our bloodline, we are dealing with the legal issues satan would use to build a case against us. We see this in the life of Israel as a nation. In Second Samuel 21:1, we see David discerning why there was a drought and famine in Israel for three years.

Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David inquired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, “It is because of Saul and his bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites.

Saul had killed the Gibeonites with whom Joshua had made a covenant. You’ll remember that Joshua had not inquired of the Lord what to do about the Gibeonites when he encountered them. They made up a story that they were from a far-off land and had come to worship the God of Joshua and the Israelites.

In reality, they were a people living in the Promised Land who Joshua was supposed to destroy. They deceived Joshua, and Joshua entered into a covenant with them. Even though the covenant was made in deception, it still stood before heaven. Joshua and the leaders gave their word. You can find this story in Joshua 9:1–15.

Now, Saul has broken the covenant with the Gibeonites. This broken covenant had granted the devil the legal right to shut up the heavens and stop the rain. Saul had done this 70 years before the famine occurred.

Now, all these years later, there’s a famine because of a broken covenant from 70 years prior. David and all the people had been praying for three years for rain, yet none had come. When David understands why the famine has happened, he sets the covenant with the Gibeonites back in place. The Bible then makes an astounding statement in Second Samuel 21:14.

God heeded the prayer for the land. The same prayer that had been prayed for three years was suddenly answered. The difference was the legal right in the history of Israel to resist rain was revoked through broken covenants!

God could now answer the prayer of His people because the legal right in the spirit realm granting the devil power through a broken and dishonored covenant was now removed. If we are to see breakthrough, many times we must deal with the history of sin or iniquity in our bloodlines. The devil uses them as a legal right to reduce us to less than what God desires.

To discern iniquity in the bloodline, we should understand the nature of iniquity. The word “iniquity” in the Hebrew is the word “avon,” and it means something perverted. It means to be twisted. So iniquity in the bloodline twists the desires and purposes of God. It twists the moral compass of a person’s life. It twists desires from that which is good to that which is evil. Iniquity isn’t just about a single sin. Iniquity is about the twisting of nature. This is why when we are born again, we receive a new nature. Second Peter 1:4 tells us we have received the divine nature, or the nature of God Himself. It is God’s excellence and glory, 

By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Through the divine nature, we escape the corruption that is in the world. Yet that which we receive at salvation has to dominate and empower us. Even though we have the nature of God in us, the issues in our bloodline will try to work against us. Notice that the Apostle Paul in speaking to Titus gave him instructions about ministering in the Cretan culture. Titus 1:10–13 shows us a perversion in a bloodline that has affected a culture.

For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.

Paul realized that even though these people were saved and born again, issues in their bloodline were still affecting them. Their culture had been twisted to be liars, evil beasts, and gluttons. Paul’s commandment to Titus was to rebuke them and challenge them to let the new nature in them arise. They could not conform to that which had fashioned their culture for generations. They had to deal with their bloodline issues so it didn’t continue to twist them and pervert who they were meant to be.

In dealing with bloodline issues, we should be aware of anything that twists the real intent of God for our family. For instance, the Cretans were not meant to be liars, evil beasts, and gluttons.

Generations of iniquity had fashioned them into this. Perhaps there are addiction issues in your bloodline. Maybe there are sexual issues there. Perhaps anger issues are present. Maybe there is violence. It could be anything.

I challenge people to look at themselves and their siblings, their parents, and their own children. Within these three generations, you will see bloodline issues. Begin to repent of these things.

As you exhaust these, then ask the Lord for any further revelation you might need. If there are no more realizations, then be at peace. You can only deal with the knowledge you have. I tell folks that when you have dealt with everything you know, then use Colossians 2:14. It says that God made us alive with Jesus:

Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

The “handwriting of ordinance” refers to that which the devil is using to build a case against us. After I have prayed over everything I know and discern, I ask that Colossians 2:14 be applied to my life.

I ask that every case against me, known or unknown, be dismissed, based on what Jesus did for me on the cross. I have seen great results simply taking this by faith and executing it.

Here is a prayer that can be prayed to come before the Courts of Heaven and cleanse our bloodlines.

Lord, as I come into Your Courts, I stand before You. Lord, I thank You that what Jesus did for me on the cross now speaks on my behalf before Your Courts. I repent for my own personal sins and transgressions, but I also bring the iniquity of my bloodline to You. I ask that anything the devil would legally accuse me of would now be revealed.

I bring my bloodline to You through my father (name your father) and through my mother (name your mother) all the way back to Adam and Eve. I ask that anything that the devil would legally be bringing against me would be known.

I repent of all iniquities I have discerned naturally. (Deal with each issue separately. Go through them one by one, repenting of that which has twisted the bloodline and generations.) I now ask for the blood of Jesus to speak for me and my bloodline. I ask that any and every legal right of the devil to use these things would now be revoked. Thank You, Lord Jesus, so much for Your blood that speaks for me.

I repent for any and all iniquities I discern in my bloodline through my father and my mother prophetically. I ask that anything that needs to be exposed in my bloodline would now be seen.

Anything the devil, as my legal opponent, would bring against me, I ask that he be made to show it. [Be sensitive at this stage to anything you see, hear, or feel. Anything that is discerned, whether you know about it naturally or not, repent of it.]

I also, Lord, thank You for Colossians 2:14 that declares You took away every case against me on the cross. I ask, Lord, that anything known or unknown would be removed. I ask that the right of the devil to legally use this against me is now revoked. Thank you so much for nailing all these things against me to Your cross. I receive it and accept it in Jesus’s name. Amen.

President Trump says he is pro-life but believes in abortion for babies conceived in rape and incest. Trump tweeted:

As most people know, and for those who would like to know, I am strongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions — Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother — the same position taken by Ronald Reagan.

Pro-life leader Rebecca Kiessling, who was conceived in rape, responded on her Facebook,

I did not deserve the death penalty for the crime of my biological father. Ask Rick Perry about his conversation with me and how my story pierced his heart he said and that he could not look me in the eyes and justify the rape exception any longer. I’m sure if you met any one of the 800 of us from Save The 1, you would also have a hard time looking us in the eyes and then telling us that we did not deserve equal protection.Strongly pro-life? Mr. President, if you can kill an innocent baby who has no guilt for being conceived in rape and incest, why not kill all the others for other stupid reasons? God calls you to save victims of oppression, and such babies are such victims! Do you want someone killed? Target RAPISTS, not innocent babies!”

Trump is not alone in saying the Alabama law on abortion went too far. CBN and 700 Club Founder Pat Robertson, a staunch abortion opponent, called the Alabama law “extreme,” and should be “legal in case of rape and incest” in spite of the fact his show interviewed Rebecca Kiessling two times to tell her testimony of how she was conceived in rape.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNpRlczGHOw]

In response, to Pat Robertson’s comments, Rebecca Kiessling,  said,

Pat Robertson @700club, I deserved equal protection. Child sacrifice is an abomination. The child shall not be punished for the sins of the father! You’re wrong to say Alabama’s abortion ban was too extreme for not having a rape exception. You had me on The 700 Club twice, including airing my story. So you values my faith testimony, just not my life?!”

Lila Rose, who runs the pro-life advocacy organization Live Action, responded to Trump’s tweet by thanking him for the pro-life advancements his administration has made. But she argued that in order to be pro-life, “we must be 100% pro-life.”

A child of rape or incest is not a 2nd-class citizen,” she wrote in the tweet. “No woman or girl is served by abortion or immune to its trauma, including survivors of rape and incest.”

Live Action’s Twitter account responded to Trump’s tweet by posting a video of a testimony provided by Jennifer Christie, who was raped on a business trip and impregnated.

Rape or incest are horrible situations, and abusers need to be held fully to the law — but abortion is not the path to healing.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VU6FfaO6AA]

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k2_UQP1V4Q]

In another tweet, Live Action also reminded followers that Valerie Gatto, former Miss Pennsylvania, was conceived in rape.

Her mother was brutally attacked at knifepoint when she was 19 — but rejected abortion.

Ryan Bomberger, a pro-life activist who himself was conceived in rape and adopted by a loving family wrote an article responding to criticisms of the Alabama law titled “I am the 1 percent used to justify 100 percent of abortions.”

My biological mother was raped, yet she rejected the violence of abortion. I was adopted and loved instead. I’m not the “residue of the rapist”, as Senator Vivian Davis Figures described those like me who were conceived in rape. I couldn’t control the circumstances of my conception. Could you, Senator? 

When it comes to rape and abortion, how do you heal violence with more violence? Let’s be real here. Even if Alabama’s Human Life Protection Act had a rape and incest exception, the confused Handmaid’s Tale cosplayers would still be out in full force. Fake feminists need to exploit tragedy to promote their false equality. And they never seem to find space in their screeds to talk about punishing the actual criminal — the rapist.

As an adoptee who grew up wanted and loved in a multiracial family of fifteen and as a happily married adoptive father with four children, I’m here to say there’s another side of this painful issue.

There are others like me who were conceived in the violence of rape, like my friend Rebecca Kiessling, an attorney and passionate defender of life. There’s the former Miss Pennsylvania, Valerie Gatto, Trayvon Clifton, Monica Kelsey, Jim Sable, Pam Stenzel, and many more whose stories offer a different perspective than mainstream media’s myopic pro-abortion view. There are women who became mothers from rape who courageously chose life, like Jennifer Christie, Liz Carl, and Rebekah Berg.

I mean, who really are the extremists here? Those who think that every human being has the right to life? Or people who celebrate the needless slaughter of one million innocent humans each year in America?

Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood clinic director who founded the ex-abortion worker ministry Then There Were None, responded to Trump’s tweet with a photo of her adopted son.

My son was conceived in rape. I would love for you to meet him, @realDonaldTrump, and tell me how his life isn’t as valuable as my children conceived in love,” Johnson tweeted.  He deserved to live and I’m so thankful that he does. If we allow some children to die because of certain circumstances, then we become eugenicists,” she wrote. “No better than Hitler.”

Here I might add James Robinson, the famed TV Evangelist, James was the result of a forcible rape of his mother…. But he and his wife have dedicated their lives to serve humanity by feeding millions living in Africa.

We can’t choose the family we were born into, but we can choose Who we belong to. Despite the means by which all of us came into this world, it is clear that we all have value and worth in God’s eyes and we all contribute significantly to society and glorify Christ with our gifts and talents.

According to Kelleigh Nelson, “The real core of communism is the hatred of God and that’s why the majority party in the House of Representatives in the U.S has removed God from as many Congressional proceedings as possible, including the swearing in of witnesses.”

When Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA) raised a point of parliamentary inquiry as to why witnesses did not say, “so help me God” during their swearing in, Rep. Johnson asked Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) to please have the witnesses do it again including the “so help me God.” Cohen said,

I don’t think it’s necessary and I don’t want to assert my will over other people. 

Then Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) pipes up with,

If any witness objects, he should not be asked to identify himself.  We do not have religious tests for office or for anything else and we should let it go at that.

Well, excuse the daylights out of me Reps. Cohen and Nadler, but we have used this swearing in for over 200 years.

As Rep. Johnson said, “It goes back to our founding history and it’s been part of our tradition for more than two centuries, and I don’t know that we should abandon it now.”

The Webster’s American Dictionary defines an oath as:

A solemn affirmation or declaration, made with an appeal to God for the truth of what is affirmed.

The appeal to God in an oath implies that the person imprecates God’s vengeance and renounces His favour if the declaration is false, or if the declaration is a promise, the person invokes the vengeance of God if he should fail to fulfil it. A false oath is called perjury.

Traditionally, states required candidates to be biblical Christians in order to take the oath of office. They were not required to affirm to any kind of denomination in particular, but they had to at least be Christians. What kind of oath did they have to take to enter into political office?

The Bible says that the oath must be taken to God; it must call down on the oath-taker eternal as well as temporal sanctions. But the humanist says that the oath must be taken for the state, the people, the Constitution, or to some other natural authority, which are all man-made deities.

Most everyone understands that citizenship requires an oath. The question is, To whom is the oath made? Is it made to God or to some other authority?  For instance, when people are taking an oath of allegiance to the Crown to become British citizens, they are required to affirm and take this oath:

I (name) swear by Almighty God that on becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her Heirs and Successors, according to law…

Likewise, in every country where an oath of office is required, as is required in the United States by the Constitution, the oath has reference to swearing by Almighty God to abide by His covenant, invoking the curses and blessings of God for obedience and disobedience to the government.

The problem is the oath of the president of the United States excludes the name of the Supreme Being. When the president is inaugurated into office, he shall either swear or affirm that he will uphold the Constitution. It does not appeal to God at all. It contains nothing by which presidents can be held accountable by the Supreme authority. It states,

I do swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Jesus Christ is the supreme and ultimate authority, the ultimate appeal of all things. But in America’s Constitution, “we the people” have arrogated themselves this prerogative.

A True Oath

A true oath of office, according to Timothy Baldwin, comes from the notion first that there is a Creator God who implements justice on earth and in life thereafter; that He rewards good and punishes evil.

It comes from the belief that humankind has a tendency to be evil and will use power at the expense of the people and the individual’s freedom and rights. It comes from the notion that constitutions, elections, and even threats of revolts do not adequately prevent politicians from abusing power.

Therefore, an oath of office is required to ensure that political leaders will bind themselves to the supreme law of the land.  More specifically, an oath is a solemn promise made by the politician to God Almighty, where if the politician breaks his or her promise, they are calling the wrath of God’s punishment upon their life in whatever proportion God deems justified.

It is no wonder that federal politicians ignore their oath of office—they have no fear of God before their eyes, and they have no fear of the people either. How can we expect a person to fear people if they don’t fear God?

Every president after George Washington and before R. B. Hayes, who took the oath of office, never took an oath without an appeal to God, which was the very essence of the oath.

The Constitution Removed Religious Test Oaths

Rev. A. M. Milligan wrote President Lincoln in 1861, asking why he would not take the presidential oath in the name of God. He replied:

The relations between the Northern and Southern States are so strained I would not dare violate the letter of the Constitution. The name of God is not in that instrument.

President Lincoln took the oath without an appeal to God, omitting the very essence of the oath. The Bible says, “Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and swear by His name” (Deuteronomy 6:13 KJV).

M. Foster claimed that the framers of our Constitution took this Bible oath, and with the penknife of Jehoiakim, cut off the name of God and introduced the mutilated oath into that instrument.

In 1844 Daniel Webster testified before the Supreme Court regarding the pluralism of constitutional oaths: “What is an oath?” he asked. “It is founded on a degree of consciousness that there is a Power above us that will reward our virtues or punish our vices.

We all know that the doctrine of the law is that there must be in every person who enters court as a witness, he be Christian or Hindu, there must be a firm conviction on his mind that falsehood or perjury will be punished either in this world or the next or he cannot be admitted as a witness.”

Eighteenth-century America was still predominately Christian in its religion, but its national government was neither Christian nor biblical.

In 1808 President Jefferson was petitioned by the New England ministers to proclaim a fast throughout the land. He refused, saying,

I am interdicted by the Constitution from doing anything that pertains to religion.

Although it was inevitable that Christian influence affected government in 1788, as evidenced by all the other national days of fasting, prayer, and humiliation proclaimed by George Washington, John Adams, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, and others, unfortunately that influence has diminished significantly as time passed.

The American government has become more strictly constitutional since that time. Most believe the Constitution is Christian in nature but, unfortunately, the document has also been exploited by secular humanists.

Here Gary North comments:

The Constitution removed religious test oaths as judicial requirements for judges and officers of the new national government. This, in and of itself, delivered the republic into the hands of the humanists. Nothing else was necessary after that. From that point on, the secularization of America was a mopping-up operation. This operation is still in progress. Those being mopped up are unappreciative, but they cannot seem to identify when the turning point came. It came in 1788.

In setting up this government, they ignored the claims of the King of kings. The Constitution does not contain the name of God. It is silent as the grave respecting the authority and law of the reigning Mediator.

It is a secular instrument. Morally, it is a compact of political atheism. Insofar as it is the people’s right to make the Constitution, elect their own officers, and determine the policy of the administration, civil government is “an ordinance of man.”

But it is also an ordinance of God. Jesus Christ says (as wisdom personified),

By Me kings reign, and rulers decree justice. By Me princes rule, and nobles, all the judges of the earth (Proverbs 8:15–16).

Gary North argues that two features of the U.S. Constitution mark it as a humanist covenant. What are they? “The Preamble and the religious test oath clause of Article VI.”

While the famous phrase of Jefferson’s regarding “a wall of separation between church and state” is not in the Constitution in this familiar form, it is nonetheless judicially in the Constitution.

In order to protect the Constitution from biblical condemnation, some constitutionalists attempt to neutralize its moral implications. The Constitution contains little moral prescription. It does not address ethical issues. At best, it is a written set of political rules that will implement whatever moral precepts the people generally hold at any given time.

While serving as president of the United States, George Washington declared that the United States government protects all in their religious rights. This is similar to what President Barack Obama said after declaring that America was no longer an exclusively Christian nation:

I think that the right might worry a bit more about the dangers of sectarianism. Whatever we were, we’re no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers…. When we’re formulating policies from state house to the Senate floor to the White House, we’ve got to work to translate our reasoning into values that are accessible to every one of our citizens, not just members of our own faith community.

President Obama is essentially advocating a world religion. American Christians should not criticize or be angry with President Obama for telling the truth. Instead, they should be angered at the origin of Obama’s statements: the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

So how could presidents swear by God’s name since they don’t have it in their conscience that God governs the nations and leaders are accountable to Him?

The no religious test clause of the United States Constitution is found in Article VI, paragraph 3, and states that:

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation to support this Constitution; but “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”

This has been interpreted to mean that no federal employee, whether elected or appointed, career or political, can be required to adhere to or accept any religion or belief system.

Moreover, the First Amendment—“Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, nor prohibit the free exercise thereof”—prohibited Congress from establishing any religion and thus permitting all religions to participate as equal citizens on the federal level.

By 1820 most state constitutions eliminated religious qualifications that had kept people of other religions from participating in public affairs or offices.

But the Bible says,

Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens (Exodus 18:21). 

A talent for politics, integrity, and a heartfelt regard for the will of God are required to hold office according to God’s standards, but the Constitution sets aside these qualifications and makes way for the enemies of truth and righteousness.

The goal of humanists, atheists, and communists is to eradicate Christianity from every area of public responsibility and authority. The goal of humanists since Jefferson’s day has been to intrude every area of public life, and, while the state gets bigger, it also gets less and less restrained by biblical law.

The myth of separation of Christianity and the state led inevitably to the secularization of every area of life and the centralization of power in the national government. There can be no freedom without Christ.

Take Christ and the Bible out of any institution of government, and we thereby lose our freedoms. Self-government without the modifier ‘Christian’ in its full biblical meaning is nothing more than self-will regardless of initial intent to be or do good.

Man without Christ cannot succeed in producing lasting good.

It’s one of the most common claims used to defend abortion. But what about the bodily rights of the preborn baby?

Benjamin Watson is a highly respected veteran tight end in the NFL. He retired for a few months then recently came back to the game, signing with the New England Patriots, the team that drafted him in the first round back in 2004. Ben and his wife Kirsten are committed followers of Jesus.

In this video, Kirsten Watson explains how to respond to “My Body, My Choice” and reinforce the pro-life argument for the most vulnerable members of society.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcZ6IOjNbi0]

As Kirsten says, someone’s helplessness or dependency should motivate us to protect her, not to destroy her. Some years ago the attention of our entire nation turned to Baby Jessica, the little girl trapped at the bottom of a deep well. The amount of human resources poured into saving her was vast, but no one doubted whether she was worth it. What touched our hearts more than anything was her helplessness and vulnerability.

When we are thinking accurately, we realize that a helpless person deserves help precisely because she is helpless. It is a sad commentary on society when a child’s helplessness and dependence on another is used as an argument against her right to live.

The Making of a “Happy Slave”

The following blatant words taken from the G20 Sustainable Development Declaration, 2018, Argentina, serves as a wake-up call for every family and church in the United States:

“…education represents a strategic policy area that has a profound impact on people, the planet and the prosperity of nations. Education is the foundation of personal development as it provides children, youth and adults with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes necessary to reach their full potential.

Education helps to reduce poverty and promote active citizenship, therefore contributing to peaceful, inclusive and prosperous societies across the world.” And to educate and train people to have the  …”necessary skills for the future of work, the importance of opportunities to re-and upskill throughout their working lives, and assist them to successfully adapt to change.” ( Emp. Noted.)

Is education really the foundation of personal development?

The UN Declaration eliminates parents, families, and churches to develop personal values and attitudes for this new world order. Eliminating traditional family values is the goal. Belief in God, loyalty to your country and the authority of parents will be erased.

Children will be transformed and molded into the new global citizen through education. It’s mental health. It’s nationwide. It’s worldwide.

“…Successful strategists aim for the heart first” – Jeroen De Flander

Nothing in current history has ever been so plain, yet hidden behind deceptive phrases that ooze betrayal. Our children are a target, but the agenda is very clear. Schools in the United States have been used in experimental research in the area of the affective domain including the spiritual aspect of a child’s being, the heart. The teaching method is called the “whole child.”

This has been the area where values, attitudes, beliefs, and dispositions have been the focus for behavioural conditioning and value change. United States citizens must have their individualist qualities, their freedom-loving values, and their individualistic competitive personalities changed.

Change in America is a must to conform the U.S. into a socialistic country including global compromise. Americans must become global citizens. Re-engineering education has toppled academics for the new psyche wards claiming to be your neighbourhood school. The churches have closed their eyes.

How is it being done? Experimental and illegal data collection targets the individual needing behavioural change and identifies how much mental health interventions are needed to meet government goals processed in the classrooms of your local school. This system recycles children in a continuous feedback loop control model until the goals are accomplished.

When I exposed the Pennsylvania Department of Education for psychologically testing children at school, I uncovered psychological probing of the federal government through my federal complaint resolved in 1990 using the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment.

The definition of “adapting to change” as the G20 Declaration states, was one target goal area from the EQA Pennsylvania test that I filed my complaint against.

The Educational Quality Assessment was first developed by top behavioural scientists of the world in 1970.

Our Pennsylvania test was the prototype for the national test, NAEP, National Assessment For Educational Progress that experimented using Pavlovian and BF Skinner’s behavioural classical conditioning for 20 years before I stopped the test.

These systemic queries were just a beginning for the agenda to reassemble and refashion the patriotic frame that existed in America starting with our children. Full-scale psychological warfare against our idea of freedom had begun. We see the results every day in the news.

Standards, tests, curricula, and teacher training were all developed to measure and change personalities and their attitude toward the Republic. Curricula was developed around ten “harmless-sounding” value-laden goals determined by a “correct minimum positive attitude” defined by your government.

Goals were masked in “fake news,” otherwise known as a transformational paradigm-not-what-you-think definitions. Goals like Citizenship would be likened to the definition of what parents thought would be taught.

Yet, NAEP and the Pennsylvania EQA had nothing to do with history, Civics or knowledge of international affairs. It was a purely experimental, psychological test that was used to create interventions or what techniques could be used to change the values and personalities of children and control literacy.

Children were placed in hypothetical situations and asked what action (behavior) they would take. Questions were posed by positive and negative responses and through reward and punishment where a threshold could be determined and scored at what point a child would change their behavior.

The temperature-taking-devices would tally how warm or cold the child would conform toward global goals. In-classroom results now enlist the onslaught of Special Education cadres, behavioralists, that convene and train classroom teachers how to target “bad” behavior.

They will decide your child’s future recipe called a personalized plan for obedience. They call it “implementation science.” Bad would be associated with being too individualistic, opinionated, patriotic, religious, and family oriented. Good would be associated with being cooperative, agreeable, and docile the key to melding the unthinkable…socialism or worse.

The key to manipulating values is deciphered from Bloom and Krathwohl’s Taxonomies of Educational Objectives…not to be confused with academics or true education.

The whole child would be changed. Good/bad (social values), right/wrong (moral values), and beautiful/ugly (aesthetic values), were the objectives to condition how a child would think, feel, and act, smearing logistical lines of these value-laden goals.

These techniques would confuse children creating artificial stress because values taught at home would conflict with the new global values taught at school.  The goal…collectivism and global competence…destroying American ethics and values.

This cycle of prodding using negative and positive reinforcements were used to create and validate “perfected” curriculum for behavioral change. The value laden and behavioral techniques that would change the personality of your child would be researched, evaluated, and proven effective.

Our tax dollars and our government funded and approved the repulsive animal training and used our teachers as informers and enablers to thrust this system on its citizenry.

The “Happy Slave”

Skinner’s experiments delved deep into animal instincts researched on pigeons, rats, dogs, and humans. Behavior could be manipulated through reward and punishment. Skinner remarked about conditioning humans to that of a “happy slave” –

A system of slavery so well designed that it does not breed revolt is the real threat.

A collectivist syndrome surrounds the actions and behaviors of children by the constant threat of punishment overhanging the “climate” of the school. The teacher is trained in “applied behavior analysis/ABA” that was researched on extreme behaviors of autistic children.

Therefore normal children are easily manipulated by that authority figure in the classroom through therapeutic techniques of compliance.

Children are being molded into the “happy slave.” But of course, the name of ABA would be changed to more appealing synonyms so that parents would not revolt calling it Positive Behavior, Resilience, or Grit.

The global antidote for change would use reward and punishment to decipher at what point a child would change, and at what point they would change their behavior without protest…the happy slave.

Citizenship had nothing to do with knowing our structure of government or Civics. Citizenship was defined as the psychological notion of threshold…at what point your child would change to go along with the group. Collectivism!

Adapting to change was first defined as “methods of coping with freedom.” This Pavlovian concept was developed using tethered dogs, reward and punishment, and feeding cycles.

Pavlov experimented with the idea of confining animals and studied how they would struggle to be free which he called the “freedom complex.”  The key to controlling the freedom complex was determined by feeding cycles to control how a dog would ACT. Soon the dog would LEARN that if he did not fight back while still tethered, he would soon be fed. Good dog.

Experimental research has been multiplied 100 times over in the last 40 years, especially the current adaptive computer tutoring/artificial intelligence through algorithms coded toward global objectives. Skinner’s “learning machines” would guide the child toward global objectives.

There is no human interference on computers with pure operant conditioning used to attain functional literacy…nothing more. Don’t trust that algorithm.

Teachers observe, identify, and implement psychological conditioning. The first tier of change would be for ALL CHILDREN CALLED UNIVERSAL SCREENING.

If some children would not comply they would be forced into more intensive techniques, Tier 2 and Tier 3, for those who do not bend to the will of researched evidence-based doses of global interventions.

The school day is no longer based on academic instruction. It’s functional literacy and recycling a bombardment of personality brainwashing. America’s children must be identified for their value to the economy. American human capital must be upskilled.

Human capital assessment is defined as the worth or worthlessness of the individual that fits exactly to the same definition as to how worth is determined for your property. Human capital (the value placed on a person) would be determined in detail through an algorithm of inputs (costs and profiles associated to develop a future global worker) versus outputs (a job that would determine the worth that individual had to the economy) all correlated to a defined set of global outcomes.

The teacher in your child’s classroom is both-informer and enabler. They are being trained to data mine the hell out of your children. Observation data is collected and interpreted daily on your child’s behaviour. Note that a teacher’s preference of how well they “like” a child or not, is completely arbitrary.

The teacher first collects data explaining why the child did a certain behaviour, begins conditioning interventions, and tallies the result of interventions all collected in a psychometric dossier. This is a system of recycling children that the government insists are deformed or disabled, slaps them in a global mold where the vision looms of widgets in a factory.

The coding for these actions are tallied. Uniform data elements are digitized into state/national longitudinal data systems and standardized in every state that combines a recipe for compulsion…a global citizen. Reports are issued.

Meetings take place behind your back, and finally, you might be told about how your sweet little Johnny just needs a little nudging and that the teachers will perform interventions to help him adjust to this constricted and repulsive prison-like environment.

They’ll call it resilience or grit in which the opposite is the true meaning. If your child becomes depressed, drugs are the antidote. The definition of resilience to these contortionists is merely not resisting to the goals and punishment…go along to get along just like tethered dogs.

Grit is not the True Grit of John Wayne, you can be assured. This system is bold and cold.

Since FERPA regulations, Family Education Rights in Privacy were illegally changed through an Obama Executive Order, (2012) personally identifiable information is able to be accessed and shared with 3rd party contractors and vendors without parental consent.

Of course, we aren’t talking about academic records.  No, it’s psychological profiles including social, emotional, and behavioural dossiers. The new education law, ESSA, converted No Child Left Behind into mental health legislation mandating behavioural conditioning and interventions in the classrooms of America. Our classrooms have been turned into psyche camps. Privacy is damned.

No parent has disapproved. No parent has taken this system to court. No one has stopped the data mining. Free will is being smothered into that happy slave.

And the words just roll from their lips and these words appear to be soothing to a parent as teachers and principals smoodge along with their talking points to get you to agree softly saying, “We want your child to be safe. We want him to belong. We are family.” And then they smile.

These are the words that will bend your child’s mind. Read them slowly. Say them out loud, because they are wrecking havoc on your child:

• Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports.
• Response to Intervention.
• Multi-Tiered System of Supports.
• Social and Emotional Learning.
• Universal Design for Learning.

All is fine with the world as our children are dipped daily in socialistic and criminal activity with privacy-invading techniques, psychological experimentation, and data mining through which outside vendors are making a fortune with constant high tech capitalistic surveillance.

This is deadly to the Republic. Your child is a commodity to fit into the New World Order and you are agreeing to the insult. Time will tell as I grieve for their freedom and the future of my country. Will the U.N. succeed while our country slumbers?

Will no American parent claim their rights? Will churches watch as the hearts and souls of our children are devoured by the metallic beast? There’s a hush all over the world.

China claims the existence of the state-controlled Three Self churches demonstrates its tolerance of Christianity, but the communist government wants all other Christian congregations to disappear, warns International Christian Concern, which assists persecuted Christians around the world.

Gina Goh of ICC writes that like Thanos in Marvel’s “Avengers” movies, the Communist Party would like to snap its fingers and make a huge portion of the population disappear.

The Chinese Communist Party reported in 2018 that China has 40 million Christians. But Goh says that because of “the discrete nature of underground churches, some experts believe that the actual number of Christians falls between 80 million and 100 million.”

That concerns Beijing, she said.

For one thing, the CCP has only about 89 million members.

“Your Party is your God versus one loving and just God, Sino-centrism versus ‘evil foreign influence,’ and socialism versus universal principles,” she writes.

The CCP “cannot afford to see its regime threatened by any mass of people it feels like it cannot control.”

Even if there’s no plan for revolution.

Last month, the government launched a new campaign against house churches called “Return to Zero.”

Its goal is to dissolve any churches not “sponsored” by the government under President Xi, who has targeted Christians in underground churches with threats and torture.

The CCP’s Central Committee has appointed a “Central Leading Group for Inspection Work” to coordinate the attacks.

The plans include absorbing house churches into Three-Self churches.

Already, government agents have gone to many house churches and warned they will be prevented from gathering unless they join the state church.

“For those large networks of house churches, the government’s attitude is to firmly strike and destroy them,” a Chinese source told ICC.

During the Japanese bombardment of Shanghai in 1932, the Austrian essayist Karl Kraus was anguishing over the placement of commas in a column. It might seem futile at such a moment, he told a friend, but “if those who are obliged to look after commas had always made sure they were in the right place, then Shanghai would not be burning.”

Hyperbolic? Perhaps. But the general point holds: words matter, as do the their appurtenances, punctuation. (After all, “Let’s eat Grandma” means something quite different from “Let’s eat, Grandma.”)

George Orwell made a kindred observation about the importance of having the courage to call things by their real names. Euphemism, the counterfeit of good manners, is the enemy of truth, which is the only ally worth having.

I have been thinking about this constellation of ideas recently as the news has been full of talk about the “Russian collusion hoax.” Use of the term “hoax” got a big boost in the aftermath of the Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the question of whether there was actionable cooperation, coordination, or collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

Two years, $34 million, and a wide swath of debilitating rumor, innuendo, and unrelated indictments and prosecutions later and we know that the answer to that question is “No, there was no cooperation, coordination, or collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.”

Anyway, we know that if we haven’t locked ourselves in the bunker bulwark, closed our eyes, put our fingers in our ears, and chanted continually the NeverTrump mantras.

I myself have deployed the term “hoax” to describe what happened to Donald Trump and his colleagues—and to the American people—during and after the 2016 presidential campaign. But a couple of friends have pointed out how inadequate the term “hoax” is for what just happened and—to at least some extent—is still happening in the machinery of our government.

According to The American Heritage Dictionary, a hoax is “1. an act intended to deceive or trick” or “2. Something that has been established or accepted by fraudulent means.”

The spectacle of round-the-clock hostile media coverage of the Trump-Russia fantasy certainly was intended to “deceive or trick.” And certainly we learn almost every day a little more about how the various investigations were started on the basis of “fraudulent means” (here’s looking at you Christopher Steele).

But thinking about it, I conclude that the term “hoax” is wholly inadequate to describe the enormity of the political scandal that was perpetrated against Donald Trump, against the office of the president, and ultimately against the American people.

For one thing, the word “hoax” implies something jocular or prankish. The joke might be malicious, but it is still intended to be humorous. There was nothing at all humorous about what just happened in our political life, though the hysteria of the anti-Trump chorus—the pussy-behatted females complaining about how “crude” Trump was, the “comedian” who paraded about with a bloody doll’s head representing the president, the tears and imprecations and jeremiads disgorged by the press and by Trump’s political enemies: all that did have a sort of ghastly if pathetic humor about it.

But when we step back and consider what actually happened over the past three years—and, more, what almost happened—it is clear that the word “hoax” does not begin to cover the reality of what I have been calling for many months the greatest political scandal in the history of the American republic.

Does that, too, sound hyperbolic, like worrying about commas when Shanghai is burning? Some people think so. I have several times said why I think they are wrong.

Perhaps the best way of summarizing my disagreement is by suggesting an alternative to the word “hoax.” It’s not a novel suggestion.

On the contrary, it’s often been used in concert with or as a synonym for “hoax.” But I think it is a better word in this context because it expresses the malign intention behind the multifarious activities directed against candidate Trump and then President Trump. The word I have in mind is “coup.”

Again, I know that that is a dramatic, maybe a melodramatic, word. But I think it accurately expresses the deliberate effort by actors in the Obama Administration, including by President Obama himself, to assure Hillary Clinton’s victory by destroying the reputation of Donald Trump.

“Most Presidents leave office,” the commentator L. J. Keith recently wrote, “and essentially step back from public life. Not Barack Obama. Shellshocked by Hillary Clinton’s loss, Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and Clinton set in motion a series of events that will forever tar his presidency, and decimate the concept of a peaceful transition of power.”

There have been scores if not hundreds or even thousands of columns written about every aspect of this complex story. We all know by now about the deployment of shadowy characters like Alexander Downer, the former Australian Ambassador to the UK and Hillary Clinton supporter (Downer engineered a $25 million contribution from the Australian government to the Clinton Foundation).

Downer had drinks with George Papadopoulos, a minor Trump campaign aide, and thereby helped get the ball rolling on the Russia investigation. For a nanosecond, the New York Times said that was where it all started.

But Downer was just the tip—or maybe just a tip—of the iceberg. One of the remarkable things about this story is how many people it has involved and how long it has taken to get a full headcount of the anti-Trump team. Remember when Joseph Mifsud’s name first surfaced? Or Stefan Halper’s? Remember when we learned about Peter Strzok and his alleged paramour, Lisa Page?

Then there was Bruce Ohr, former associate deputy attorney general: he had his part to play in the drama, too. But wait! It turned out that his wife is Nellie Ohr and that she worked for Fusion GPS, the company that hired Christopher Steele. Gosh. And what about Steele himself? When we were first introduced to him, he was a former British spy, a “highly respected” operative, who had got the goods on Donald Trump.

Remember how long it took before we learned that Steele had been paid by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary campaign, and that his dossier was not just “unverified” and “salacious,” as James Comey put it, but was in fact nothing but a scurrilous piece of opposition research made up out of “random” scraps of gossip that Steele had assembled from highly dubious sources?

Nevertheless, it was the dossier, and nothing but the dossier, that provided the unverified “evidence” for the supposedly “verified” FISA warrants to spy on Carter Page, an American citizen, and hence to spy on the campaign and then the administration of Donald Trump.

And on and on this kaleidoscopic onion has gone, as one layer after the next has been peeled back only reveal another layer and additional personalities.

Finally, however, I believe we are nearing the hollow center of the onion. The dogged Attorney General William Barr is proceeding methodically, inexorably to lay bare the origins of the spurious Russia investigation.

There are still many details we do not know. Some we may never know. And dogged though Barr may be, many of the principal actors in this attempted coup will probably never be held to account. Will Hillary Clinton? Will Barack Obama? I doubt it.

In fact, it was not so long ago that I was resigned to the eventuality that no one would be held to account, not John Brennan or James Comey, not Peter Strzok or Lisa Page, not James Clapper or Sally Yates or Samantha Power.

Barr’s arrival on the scene has made me rethink my resignation. But whatever happens to those individuals, it now seems clear that Barr’s investigation will reveal for all to see that what began in 2016 or even 2015 and continued until and beyond the day that Robert Mueller deposited his nearly 500-page report clearing the president of “collusion” was not a hoax at all. It was an attempted coup.

We should face up to that unpleasant fact and call things by their real names. The actions taken by the Obama Administration threatened not just Donald Trump and his presidency but the very processes and protocols by which the peaceful transition of power has been effected in the United States.

As L.J. Keith observed, “Even in the most contentious elections and after disputed results, there was never been this sort of dangerous, systematic, deliberate rejection of the will of the people. The abrogation of the constitution to use extrajudicial methods to destroy the incoming president. It is the very definition of a coup.”

Indeed. So let’s call it what it is. A coup.

She’s 24, with an infant daughter who is the product of rape. And she’s made a video for a pro-life campaign called Choice 42.  Choice 42 explains it is a grassroots organization of the Durham outreach, founded by Laura Klassen. According to the website:

CHOICE42 is pro-woman, pro-baby, and pro-life. Our main objectives are to create awareness about the humanity of pre-born children, and to provide support to women who are facing unplanned pregnancy or dealing with post-abortion trauma.

Our website is supportive, information based, and includes Canada’s largest nation-wide database of pregnancy help resources. CHOICE42 encourages women to be fully educated about their options and to realize that though it is their choice, they are making a choice for two.

It further explains:

Babies in the womb are human beings from the moment of conception. Though modern science proves this, many Canadians still buy into the lie that a baby in the womb is a ‘blob’ or ‘clump of tissue.’ We show the public what pre-born babies look like and what they are doing in the womb.

I am a mother to an angel and my angel was born out of rape. I decided I wasn’t going to let an innocent life pay for one man’s attempt to hurt me. She hasn’t hurt me. Her intent is just to enjoy her life.

Louise says she has an issue with people who believe abortion is justified in the case of rape.A life, she explained, already has begun.

Undoing the process seems very detrimental to me. … For me to go and intentionally take away someone’s chance at life wouldn’t sit very well.

She explains her daughter has “brought me so much joy.”

Every day I wake up to a beautiful smile. I feel like the most optimal version of myself. It’s just given me super strength. I’m very happy and I love being a mother.

What about those facing a similar trauma?

There is hope beyond just healing….Don’t give up, because if you survived such a traumatic experience and you were gifted with a miracle, then clearly you have more potential than you would ever know.

The same guidelines apply when it’s not rape, too, as Megan explained.

She’s 22  and had already booked her appointment for abortion after she discovered her pregnancy.

“I have never been so scared in my entire life,” she said, fearing her dreams and ambitions were gone. But she was told her child “has a purpose and a meaning. This baby has a life.”

And those words stuck with her.

So I decided to choose life,” she said. “She’s worth it. My baby is worth it.” She continued: We’re going to make it. I’m going to make it.”

And her daughter, Serenity Grace, is “the definition of her name. “When I hold her and look at her, and I think about what could have been and that I almost made the choice of not keeping her, I just, I can’t, I’m so thankful that she’s here today.”

To others, Megan said: “Your life is not over. The dreams you had … you can still have and do.”

The political left in the West is attacking the Christian right, conservatives and traditionalists unlike any time in World history, and these attacks are likely to escalate over the next few years. If one studies the Nazi press, the electronic media and present social media, the parallels are ominous.

The Nazi controlled the media, radios, movies and entertainment. Newspapers in Germany were being told what to publish and how to write the news and editorials. Any well thinking person can tell the uniformity of the information we are getting from all the big news networks. Don says, “the Propaganda Ministry must be alive and well somewhere in America and the West today under the watchful care of the Establishment.”

Tom Chivers of the Daily Telegraph noted that the ancient traditions of the 2012 Olympic Games in London were bloody silly dances and Nazi propaganda. He noted that the Olympic torch procession was in fact invented by the Nazis and has nothing to do with ancient Greece. The notorious Olympic rings signal was also created by the Nazis. Vulgar and sexual performances from all kinds of celebrities have led to the path of cultural degradation in the West that many of us don’t care anymore.

Aldous Huxley a British Socialist and one England’s ruling elite predicted that “sex will be encouraged from early childhood and recreational sex will be an integral part of society and a social activity, rather than a means of reproduction. The few women who can reproduce will be conditioned to use birth control, even wearing a ‘Malthusian belt’ that resembles a cartridge and holds ‘the regulation supply of contraceptives as a popular fashion accessory.”

People will be kept too preoccupied with work and trivial affairs to think or complain. Marriage, natural birth, parenthood, and pregnancy will be considered too obscene to be mentioned in casual conversation. Pornography and the official promotion of every kind of sexual perversions will be the new normal that will serve a political purpose. He wrote:

As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends to compensate by increasing. And the dictator (or the elite) will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to day dream under the influence of dope, movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.

Control of Education and Schools. History tells us that laws making education in public schools compulsory have been found in the most totalitarian regimes where state-sponsored indoctrination was a major goal of the educational system. One of Hitler’s first legislative acts on taking office was to establish the Reich Ministry of Education and give it the control of all schools, including the private schools.

Prior to 1933 the German public schools had been under the jurisdiction of the local authorities and the universities under that of the individual states. Now all were brought under iron rule of the Reich Minister of Education. It is important to remember that the law was on Hitler’s side. He told the parents,

Your child belongs to us already…who are you? You will pass on. Your descendants now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.

Today those who are hostile toward Christianity are the ones in positions of leadership in the education sector. They know all too well what they have accomplished by capturing the minds of the youth for many generations, and they almost rejoice in their victory. Children attend school five days a week and they are exposed to books, games, and movies that all present values opposed to what Christian parents try to instil in them.

There is no denial that the state is becoming increasingly hostile to Christian schools and home schools, (see examples here, here and here), but regardless of the evidence that the state school system is extremely anti-Christian, most Christians, churches, and pastors continue to defend the system.

In fact, very few church leaders recognize that parents have a right to home school their children or that there is any scriptural basis for homeschooling or starting Christian schools. Even if Christians knew what was really going on, do we really care? Most of us draw our conclusions from what the herd deems to be acceptable. We have a dependence on something that appears to be free.

Alliance with Corporations. William Shirer, Anthony Sutton, Edwin Black and many others have written extensively about the incredible financial and logistical support Hitler and the Nazis received from Germany’s industrial giants and corporate leaders during Hitler’s rise to power and throughout his reign of terror.

Nazi Germany was in fact a fascist regime with an unholy alliance between big business and the socialist government. This is significant because that is exactly what is happening in America and most of the West today—big business and the government are collaborating to move America and the rest of the world into the New World Order.

Reichstag Fire and the Beginning of the Nazi Dictatorship. Virtually all historians of the period including William Shirer agree that the burning of the Reichstag which was blamed on the communists by the Nazis was the event which signaled the beginning of Nazi dictatorship.

That same year Hitler formed the Gestapo, justifying it to the German people as necessary to maintain “homeland security” in a speech in which he declared:

An evil exists that threatens every man, woman and child of this great nation, we must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland.

The public were panicked by the Nazi propaganda machine and stampeded into handling dictatorial power to Hitler and the Nazis. This is what Don McAlvany had to say about the Reichstag fire when he wrote his book about 16 years ago before 9/11:

There could be very important lessons in the Reichstag fire for Americans in the wake of terrorist attacks. If Congress supported by the public are stampeded by some crisis or catastrophe real or staged into passing a host of counter-terrorism, gun control, people-control initiatives, America could become a Nazi-style police state (with most of our Bill of Rights freedoms cancelled) in all the name of fighting terrorism.

Sounds familiar!

Hegel said, “We learn from history, we learn nothing from history.” And Santayana said: “Those who do not learn from the lessons of history are doomed to repeat the mistakes of history.” What do we learn from this? The lesson is regardless of who planned and executed the fire, Hitler and the Nazis took advantage of the situation and passed all kinds of laws at the expense of the people’s freedom and civil rights.

Douglass Reed, who was a British reporter, writing about the Burning of Reichstag wrote:

When Germany awoke; a man’s home was no longer his castle. He could be seized by private individuals, could claim no protection from the police, could be indefinitely detained without preferment of charge, his property could be seized, his verbal and written communications overheard and perused; he no longer had the right to foregather with his fellow countrymen; and his newspapers might no longer freely express their opinions.

The Reichstag fire produced exactly the result that Hitler had anticipated. The Germany of the Weimar Constitution went up in flames, and from the ashes like the phoenix rose the Third Reich.

Surveillance System. Totalitarian regimes want total control and tracking of their citizens. Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich set up a control system that tracked the entire population using index cards. All this was done with the help of IBM produced punch cards, sorted by IBM machines which were leased to the Nazis. These were used to confiscate their property, to be put into concentration camps where they had to receive tattoos, to be deported and finally their extermination.

Today the people who are controlling the system are desperate to know everything about their fellow human beings, not because they think we are all dangerous, but because they are interested in power, and they will do anything to attain that power. Using RFID even in clothes would make easier to get their utopian dream of controlling other people.

In 2012, “60 Second Idea,” in association with the BBC, promoted the ideas of science fiction writer and Global warming expert Elizabeth Moon who believes that if she were “an empress of the Universe” she would insist on every individual having a unique ID permanently attached- bar-code if you will; an implanted chip to provide an easy, fast inexpensive way to identify individuals:

Point the scanner at someone and there it is. Anonymity would be impossible as would mistaken identity making it easier to place responsibility accurately, not only in war but also in non-combat situations far from the war.

John W. Whitehead calls it a matrix that has “enslaved us by technology and the Internet of things” and no one seems to bother:

The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Separation of Government from its People and from each other: This is how Milton Mayer described it his book, They thought they were free:

What no one seemed to notice…. The ever widening gap, after 1933, between the government and its people…..What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with the Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would have otherwise have worried about it.

This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes. And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.

Today, whether we realize it or not technology has divided and separated us from each other. Like a frog in boiling water, our society’s unhealthy obsession with television, computers and smart phones has dumbed us down that the goose is cooked and the frog is boiled and we don’t seem to care. It is been said by one historian that people are “willfully ignorant.”

Alexander Solzhenitsyn is quoted in Persecution: It Will Never Happen Here as saying:

Are we prepared to learn from the past? Are people living in freedom able to learn from those living in need? Can the lesson they have learned be taught to the free world? Yes it can, but who wants to learn? Our proud skyscrapers point heaven ward and they say: it will never happen here. But it will happen…. Tragically the free West will only believe it when it is no longer free. To quote a Russian proverb, “When it happens you will know it is true, but then it too late.”

Conclusion

Unless the Church embraces the cross and seeks God for a revival or Great Awakening, the conditions that gave rise to Nazi Germany are unravelling before our eyes. The present state of decline in the spiritual, economic, political, financial, cultural, and social problems being experienced by America, Europe and other nations is due to one fact: We have forgotten God and His commandments. The moment we began ignoring God and allowing society to be secularized, we lost our freedoms.

Many groups have been warning us about certain groups, who have been announcing their intentions to turn this world into a godless Communist New World Order and impose a communist all-powerful totalitarian dictatorial government on an enslaved humanity. We thought those that were warning us were conspiracy theorists.

All of those Christians who suffered persecution under the Nazis and the communists have been warning that they see the signs of a similar great persecution in the West. The only hope we have is to repent and ask God to send a revival or Great Awakening.

At the same time the Germany people should not be manipulated into paying a guilt offering for all the atrocities that were done by their leaders. Other prophets believe that God has a special purpose for Germany which is to bring a spiritual awakening to all of Europe. Yes, Germany just like other nations will fulfil a higher purpose in the end times and the Lord Jesus will be glorified.

In the meantime, we are all going to humble ourselves before God and plead His mercy, grace and forgiveness. Every believer should be on his knees before God asking Him to have mercy on our respective nations and to pour out His Spirit as He promised.

The devil using human agents is going to take advantage of all the chaos that is going on in Europe against the Jewish people, the nation of Israel, the believers in United States, United Kingdom and the rest of the world. As Christians we have to prepare for it. I think a call to repentance as recorded by the prophet Zephaniah 2:1-3 applies to all of us now:

The time for repentance is speeding by like chaff whirled before the wind! Therefore consider, before God’s decree brings forth the curse upon you, before the time to repent is gone like the drifting chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord comes upon you—yes, before the day of the wrath of the Lord comes upon you!

Seek the Lord inquire for Him, inquire of Him, and require Him as the foremost necessity of your life, all you humble of the land who have acted in compliance with His revealed will and have kept His commandments; seek righteousness, seek humility inquire for them, require them as vital. It may be you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.

God is a God of mercy and a God of judgment. The judgment punishes the sin, while mercy saves we the sinners. The Word of Lord says:

Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O LORD, we have waited for You; The desire of our soul is for Your name. And for the remembrance of You. With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness (Isaiah 26:8-9).

Just like there was still time for the people to repent when the Babylonians would come and destroy Jerusalem, there is also still time for us to humble ourselves so that we can be hidden from this impending distress. How can God’s people be protected? The Bible gives us answer:

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon (Isaiah 55: 6-7).

The Third Reich was one of the most fascinating periods in human history, from which many lessons can be learned today by all lovers of freedom. Here are other ominous parallels between the emergency of Nazism in Germany in the 1930s and the emergency of globalism in the West and subsequently the world.

Thousands of laws, Rules, and Regulations: the Nazis passed  thousands of laws, to regulate and control every aspect of German people’s lives. There were so many that virtually anyone could be labeled as a criminal and have their property seized, jailed, or executed at the command of the Nazis. Highly complex financial, currency, cash reporting, and privacy laws were passed which almost no one understood.

Christians who sent money out of the country to missionaries had their assets seized and were often jailed under Nazi money-laundering laws. Raids on homes in the middle of the night by the Gestapo became commonplace along with widespread property seizures.

The same thing is happening in America which is being called a nation of criminals by one reporter who says for decades, Washington has been adding to the number of federal laws and regulations that all carry criminal penalties. It is been reported that the number is so high, and no one is actually sure how many there are.

According to some experts, anyone could be convicted of some sort of federal crime and it so easy for anyone to violate one of these laws and never know it. One congressman told CBN News that “We have made it dangerous just to be alive in America.”

One neurosurgeon said now that the healthcare bill has been ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court, Americans should expect to hear more about death panels and bureaucrats deciding who lives and who dies like the Nazis did after they took the health care system in Germany. This is already happening in some countries in Europe.

Environmentalism and Animal rights. The Germans in the 1930s were preoccupied with environmentalism and animal rights, with the Nazis passing all sorts of laws, rules, and regulations to protect the environment.

Today, there are some environmentalists who believe that humanity is no more important than any other species on this planet. They think the world would be much better off without any people at all.

Paul Ehrlich (1854–1915), a German scientist and physician, was one of them. He wrote several books predicting famine as a result of population increase. One of them is the famous The Population Bomb, in which he described the increasing number of people in the world as a “cancer” that would have to be excised through “many apparently brutal and heartless decisions.”

His list included sterilization, abortion, and steep tax rates on families with many children. Ehrlich maintained that in light of a growing global affluence, reducing total population as well as reducing consumption was critical to protecting the environment and maintaining living standards. He maintained that current rates of growth are still too high for a “sustainable” future.

Occultic Dimension to the Third Reich. Hitler’s movement was not just a political movement; it was also a supernatural, occultic movement and was in strong opposition to Bible-based Christianity and Orthodox Judaism. The religious foundation of the Nazi Third Reich was from the Eastern religions that are the foundation of the present-day New Age movement, which now permeates the Liberal Eastern Establishment and energizes or provides the occultic dynamic behind the New World Order.

This preoccupation with the occult is one of the major factors in the growing Establishment’s hatred for Evangelical Christians in America and the West in general, and will be one of the major factors in the coming globalist persecution of American Christians—which is now beginning to accelerate.

Ignoring the German Constitution. Hitler completely ignored the German Constitution, just as some politicians and courts are doing today. Wherever Hitler wanted to something, he would just do it. He just wrote notes instructing people to carry out whatever he wanted. This is similar to Executive Orders which are have been issued by American presidents in the last 20-30 years.

According to Don, most of these Executive Orders, new laws, thousands of new regulations are unconstitutional as Hitler’s notes, orders, and edicts in the 1930s.

Rejection of Their Heritage. The German people, before and during the Nazi’s rise to power, began to reject their Christian Biblical heritage, their history, their national heroes and their traditions. The Nazis accelerated this obliteration of their history and heritage as they came to power. And this is precisely what the liberals, socialists, and the globalist have been doing in recent years. Our heritage, history, heroes, and traditions are being denigrated and obliterated.

Gun laws. The Nazis passed gun laws to disarm the German people so that they could control them and set up their dictatorship. Laws are being put in place to disarm the American people. This is a major element in the New World Order agenda and has been accomplished in many other countries in the West. History teaches us that genocide against disarmed victims in every nation was enabled by forcible disarmament.

Aaron Zelman (1946–2010) was the head of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO), which is the organization that aimed at educating the Jewish community about the dangers of being forcibly or voluntarily disarmed. He did a comparison of the Nazi’s 1928 and 1938 gun control laws and those passed in the U.S. in 1968, and found them to be almost identical—as if they had been copied!

Redefinition of Marriage. Hitler used homosexuals, drug addicts, and criminal elements to destabilize the country and advance the Nazi political machine. In the West today, marriage is being redefined to civil partnerships, thereby completely destroying the bedrock and foundation of society which is marriage between one man and one woman.

In his article Brendan O’ Neil explained how homosexuality has moved from being a crime to being celebrated as a way of life in modern Western nations just in the space of less than 50 years:

Everywhere from popular culture to the political sphere, the criminals are now those who criticize gay sex, not those who have it – as witnessed in such acts of authoritarianism as the imposing of a one-month prison sentence on a Swedish pastor who preached against homosexuality, the arrest of a preacher in Dundee for saying homosexuality was a sin, the banning of an advert in London that offended gays, the sending of American experts to Africa to preach about the virtues of homosexuality (in a similar way that Christian colonialists used to preach to Africans about the virtues of the Bible, including, er, anti-homosexual views), and so on. Gay-friendliness has become probably the key barometer of decency in the modern West; and those who fail the test can expect censorship or some other form of punishment.

The Church was Deceived, Divided and Persecuted. The German Christians were strongly nationalistic and patriotic. The German Christian church was officially founded in 1932 and the organization straightaway became an instrument in supporting the Hitler regime and the Nazi propaganda in joining the church and state.

To achieve this, their goal was to unite the regional churches of the German Evangelical Church into a German Reich church. They thought that by wedding the church to the state, they would restore the church and Germany to her former glory. They didn’t agree with him on everything, but they believed that if the church’s prestige were restored, they might be able to influence him in the right direction.

The Nazis first saw it as important to keep a good relationship with the Church, because they were worried that many Germans were committed Christians and if at all there was a conflict between the Church and the state, many German Christians would put their faith before the Nazi state.

So when the Church started opposing Hitler, he created new laws and then accused the leaders of breaking these laws, furthermore he also divided the churches by encouraging other churches to work with the Nazis in creating “socialist family values and to work for the greater good of the German people.”

In his book When a Nation Forgets God, Dr. Lutzer gives an eyewitness account of how some members of the church reacted to the Nazism of their times:

I lived in Germany during the Nazi Holocaust. I considered myself a Christian. We heard stories of what were happening to the Jews, but we tried to distance ourselves from it because, what could anyone do to stop it? A rail road track ran behind our small church and each Sunday morning we could hear the whistle in the distance and then the wheels coming over the tracks.

We became disturbed when we heard the cries coming from the train as it passed by. We realized that it was carrying Jews like cattle in the cars! Week after week the whistle would blow.

We dreaded to hear the sound of those wheels because we knew that we would hear the cries of the Jews en route to a death camp. Their screams tormented us. We knew the time the train was coming and when we heard the whistle blow we began singing hymns. By the time the train came past our church we were singing at the top of our voices.

If we heard the screams, we sang more loudly and soon we heard them no more. Years have passed and no one talks about it anymore. But I still hear that train whistle in my sleep. God forgive me; forgive all of us who called ourselves Christians yet did nothing to intervene.

Many Churches in Germany and throughout Europe were mostly silent while Jews were persecuted, deported and murdered. It was only a few Christians in the Christian Professing Church who believed that the German church had ceased to be the church of Jesus Christ, and therefore they must break away and form a new church which could be called the Confessing Church because it proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The State supported the Church. The churches were nationalized under Hitler. A strong section of the church also believed that Nazi regime was the answer to all their prayers. It was all about the economy. Nothing else seemed to matter, under no circumstances were the Christians allowed to sit down and reflect how all this could be handled.

The church did not heed the lone voices crying in the wilderness. The government said the churches needed repairs, so a “church tax” was created. Pastors were put on government salary, and therefore they were subject to state authority. This led to the silencing of pastors because they feared they would lose their funding if they spoke out. The church in Germany appeared to be too preoccupied with the problems of the nation and the economy to see what was happening before its eyes.

Today, it is the same thing; most of the church in Europe (Catholic, Protestant and Evangelicals) is supported through taxes. As a matter of fact I have heard an elder of a local Evangelical church saying “the government has been so good to us.” The so called golden rule often applies: Whoever has the gold has the rule!

Either the church will change its message to accommodate the state’s political agenda, or the political rulers will use the church to their own ends.  Regardless, the purity of the church is compromised and this is more prevalent in African churches.

It is very helpful in understanding the times in which to live to study the rise and fall of the Nazi Third Reich in the 1930s and 1940s, and the great evil it perpetrated on mankind as all these parallels are leading the West and other countries a similar path if there is no true repentance.

And when we finish, we should be on our knees asking the Lord to keep us faithful to the cross of Christ, no matter the cost, as we shall further examine in part 3.
