Light Bearers of Darkness
By Des Griffin

In just a few weeks (as of October 1999) we will enter the Third Millennium of the Christian Era. As we turn this fateful corner in human history, what does the future hold for modern man who prides himself on his massive technological and scientific achievements and ultra-sophistication?

If we were to randomly ask a dozen people for their personal opinions on what lies ahead for the United States in the twenty-first century, we would probably get twelve differing opinions. However, to one degree or another virtually all of them would probably assume that -- as Americans have enjoyed great prosperity over the last half century -- we will naturally soar to even greater technological and financial heights.

SIMILAR WORLD VIEWS

Let's look at some commonly embraced ideas: Many religious "fundamentalists" look for a coming "kingdom of heaven" on earth. They believe this physical kingdom will be headquartered in Jerusalem and that, under Jesus Christ and the patriarchs, they will help rule all nations with a rod of iron. This belief system is fairly new, coming primarily from the eschatology developed by John Darby, Edward Irving, Ethelbert Bullinger, and C.I. Scofield in the last century.

The Christ-rejecting Zionist Jews have a somewhat similar vision of the immediate future. They, too, look forward to a worldwide kingdom headquartered in Jerusalem. In their dreams, the Zionist Jews -- through worldwide Socialism and the use of "an international police force" -- see themselves emerging as the saviors of the world. This, we are told, is "prophesied by Isaiah" (Look magazine, January 16, 1962, p.20).

The New Agers also have similar grandiose plans for your future. They believe the year 2000 will usher in the Age of Aquarius. This "new age" will -- we are assured -- signal the end of Christianity and result in mankind taking a 'quantum leap' into godhood -- the final cycle of evolution.

NEW AGE 'BIBLE' VERSIONS

As Gail Riplinger clearly documents in her book, New Age Versions, change agents of the new age movement have managed to take over and control most if not all of the new versions of the Bible. In many instances they have substituted their own new age terminology for what is in the true Word of God. Through changing words and/or manipulating word meanings, they have made major inroads into the Christian community. They have perverted God's Word -- and subverted most churches. As a result, most churchgoers are dying of spiritual malnutrition.

Biblical Christianity is viewed as being archaic and irrelevant in this new age of "spiritual" enlightenment.

THE INTERNATIONALISTS

On a fourth front, the Internationalists and their political hacks -- the secular humanists, socialists, communists, liberals and other assorted bedfellows -- assure us that once they have successfully dispensed with the "myth of God" and have "bur[ied] the rotting corpse of Christianity" (John Dunphy, Humanist magazine) everything will finally come together to form a wonderfully happy and peaceful New World Order. Mankind -- having finally overcome the biases, bigotry and hatreds allegedly engendered by the "foolishness" of biblical Christianity -- will finally reap the rich rewards of its own unparalleled achievements. Freed from nonsensical superstition, man will at last bask in a marvelous new world of his own devising -- and presumably, as in all fairy tales, "live happily ever after."

[It should be noted that other modern "utopian" societies -- Soviet Union, China, Cuba, Zimbabwe, etc. -- embraced the same insane "man is god" ideology. All ended in catastrophic failure. This was clearly foreseen by Winston Churchill. Writing in 1920, Churchill predicted that this God-denying, Christ-defying ideological monster would "produce another system of morals, as malevolent as Christianity was benevolent, which, if not arrested, [will] shatter all that Christianity has rendered possible" (Illustrated Sunday Herald, London, February 8, 1920, p.5).

This stark reality seems, however, to have conveniently escaped the attention of these self-ordained intellectual giants who have swallowed the Satanic Lie that they can be "as gods" (Genesis 3:5). Undaunted by an endless stream of spectacular failures flowing from their Utopian hallucinations, they press on regardless. Vain hope obviously dwells eternal in the carnal mind!

Which -- if any -- of these grandiose schemes will come to fruition in the years ahead? Or have the various utopian dreamers overlooked or ignored a vital "something" that will radically affect how history will play out in the years ahead.

PHENOMENAL CHANGES

In just the last 100 years phenomenal changes have taken place on the world scene. Politically, economically, and religiously it is now, in a most respects, a vastly different world.

At the turn of the twentieth century Americans took great pride in their national sovereignty and independence. Due to a reality-based education system, most Americans believed in absolutes -- definite standards of right and wrong. The American economic system was based firmly on biblical values. The Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, decreed that only silver and gold was "lawful money" (Article 1, Section 10 [1]). Inflation was unknown.

In 1900 America was a Republic. As a result, most Americans believed in self-government, self-reliance, and personal responsibility. The laws of the land, based on biblical precepts, were widely respected and obeyed. Morality was high. Crime was low. Hopes were soaring. Prospects were unlimited. Civil government was kept to a minimum. Abroad, millions yearned to have a part of the American Dream. Many went through great trials and tribulations to come to "the land of the free and home of the brave."

Now, one hundred years later the scene has changed dramatically. America has been transformed into a Democracy (man makes the rules) in which eternal truths and absolute standards are ridiculed and trampled underfoot. As with past civilizations just prior to their demise, morality is scraping the bottom of the barrel. In no place is this more noticeable than in Washington.

President Bill Clinton, a man with the morals of a degenerate alley cat, has repeatedly aided and abetted one of our sworn enemies, China, in return for campaign contributions. During his presidency, Clinton has consistently betrayed our national interests on other fronts. Impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice by the House of Representatives, he was cleared by a corrupt and morally depraved Senate.

Bill Clinton appointed a known sex pervert to head the Department of Justice. Many of his other political appointees have been hounded out of office as a result of personal scandals. His administration's two top national "law enforcement" agencies (the "Department of Justice" and the Federal Bureau of Investigation) have both been guilty of lying and obstruction of justice.

Most Americans, having been induced into forsaking biblical principles, individualism and personal responsibility, now worship the ever-growing State as the entity that will provide for their needs from the cradle to the grave.

Not a pretty legacy with which to end a century that began with such exuberant promise!

"PLANNED THAT WAY"

To understand what is taking place on the national and international scenes, we must first grasp the stark reality of words spoken by two world famous individuals. Franklin Roosevelt told us that, in politics, "if it happens you can bet it was planned that way." Benjamin Disraeli stated that "the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes" (Coningsby, p.233).

Though unrecognized by most, what we see unfolding before us is the cold-blooded, systematic destruction of the American Dream. What we are witnessing is the working out of the Illuminati Master Plan for the abolition of the Old World Order and the construction of a New World Order. That Plan was devised and laid out by Adam Weishaupt, doctor of Canon Law at Ingolstadt University, Bavaria, some 223 years ago. The plot was underwritten by financiers centered in Frankfurt. These later became known as International Bankers.

The Luciferian philosophy which inspired the Master Plan calls for the fulfillment of seven basic goals:

(1) The destruction of Christianity; (2) Abolition of private property; (3) The abolition of inheritance; (4) The breakup of the family unit; (5) The destruction of patriotism; (6) The abolition of all ordered, national governments, and (7) The creation of a New World Order -- or One World Government (Proofs of a Conspiracy by Professor John Robison, 1797).

As later developed, these goals were to be accomplished by a two-pronged worldwide movement, both being directed and financed by the international bankers. On one side was Bolshevism (later known as Communism) which would conquer and control the backward nations of the world. On the other was Fabian Socialism which would concentrate on the gradual takeover of various developed nations (America, Britain, Canada etc.) through infiltration of their control mechanisms -- politics, education, religion, media etc. -- by specially trained change agents. This would, in turn and in time, result in the development of new converts and thus result in the takeover of the civil government -- thus giving them control of each country. In the end it was planned to combine the results achieved by both sides, thus creating the desired New World Order.

BACK TO BABYLON

Illuminism (One-World/Globalism) is the modern-day manifestation of the old Babylonian Mystery religion. It revolves around the belief that there is an "elite" (the Illuminated ones!) who, alone, are capable of ruling all mankind in an orderly manner. In their Satanically-inspired vanity, these power-crazed megalomaniacs are nothing less than Light Bearers of Darkness. They are of their father the devil.

The late Dr. Carroll Quigley (Georgetown University) enjoyed "insider" status with the Eastern Establishment. He tells us that the true goal of the modern-day Illuminists is "nothing less than to create a world system ... able to dominate the political system of each country." Their aim is to control the whole world "in a feudalistic manner by the central banks of the world acting in concert (and) by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences" (Tragedy and Hope, p.324).

In 1999 the United States of America is ruled by political, intellectual, financial and religious prostitutes who have, wittingly or unwittingly, sold themselves into the service of this God-defying, Christ-denying Babylonian system. Most are dedicated to the destruction of every principle upon which our great American Republic was founded. They are also dedicated to the fulfillment of the Illuminati plan to create a New World Order.

"A FOOLISH IDEA"

Peering through what the late Malachi Martin described as the "Luciferian Fog," we begin to grasp and understand the most basic of political realities that exists in America today. As the various pieces of the political puzzle come together, the fog begins to dissipate. What emerges in stark relief is the, to most, startling fact that there is in reality only one powerful political party in America today -- the UNNAMED "Republican-Democratic Coalition Party." As Dr. Carroll Quigley, Bill Clinton's mentor, states in Tragedy and Hope, "the argument that the two parties ... represent opposed ideals and policies, one perhaps of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea.... Instead, the two parties [are] almost identical so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. The policies that are vital and necessary for America [in the eyes of the behind-the-scenes manipulators] are no longer subject to significant disagreement, but are disputable only in details of procedure, priority, or method...." pp. 1247-1248). Both parties choose "almost identical candidates and platforms, although the process [is] concealed, as much as possible, by the revival of obsolescent or meaningless war cries and slogans...." (p.1247). How is that for undeniable truth?

The destruction of the Unites States has been taking place through the "democratic process." The belief that we are a "democracy" and not a Republic has been carefully nurtured by every level of the Establishment -- and with predictably disastrous results. To understand what is happening to our nation, we must recognize that a democracy is not an end in itself. It is merely a means to an end. A democracy (man makes the rules) invariably leads to social disintegration, and paves the way for the emergence of a despot.

As our sixth president, John Quincy Adams, declared: "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."

In modern America, the alleged "benefits" of democracy and the "democratic process" are sung -- from every point of the compass -- by numerous individuals who are recognized as "authorities" in politics, the media, and academia. Although many are undoubtedly "useful idiots" duped into going along with the political agenda of their puppet masters behind the scenes, others have been specially trained to act as "change agents" in American society. The latter -- in their characterless pursuit of "position," "prestige," "fame," and "popular acceptance" have decided to abandon honesty and personal integrity -- for strictly short-term objectives. "They have their reward!"

By its very definition, the democratic "political process" is something that is ongoing. It naturally leads from one condition to another. In this instance, the political process is leading the American sheeple, unwittingly, from one condition to another -- from prosperous peace into a global plantation or "feudal system" as envisioned by Quigley. Its another manifestation of the Hegelian dialectic in action!

In the ongoing "political process," our nation is being swept along on a tidal wave of scientifically created and controlled confusion. In the endless phony debates in the political arena and on TV, the topics and input of the participants are tightly controlled. There's lots of talk, lots of noise, lots of emotion -- but little if any basic truth. Problems are seldom if ever examined from an historical perspective. The various causes for the effects we see all around us are blithely ignored. Those panelists who get too close to the truth -- or endeavor to introduce some political, economic, or spiritual reality into the various conversations -- are either ignored, shouted down, ridiculed, or never again invited to take part in an "open forum." Deceit and hypocrisy reign supreme!

Like flotsam and jetsam, we are being swept to and fro by the political process with ceaseless, mindless jabber -- meaningless psychobabble from which springs ever more confusion. The fruit of such created and controlled "insanity" is everywhere evident: doubt, fear, aimlessness, frustration, drugs, crime, alienation, divorce, debt and bankruptcy. All are increasing exponentially. How long can we avoid hitting the rocks of political and economic reality?

Yet, despite the mountainous evidence to the contrary, the gullible public continues to embrace the political fantasy that all mankind's problems can be overcome through political and social manipulation instead of through repentance and spiritual salvation. As stated earlier, this fantasy springs from the Satanic lie in the Garden of Eden, "You can be as Gods" (Genesis 3:5).

THE REAL BATTLE

What does the future hold for America? Will we continue to stumble and stagger through the Luciferian Fog into a Godless, Christless, purposeless New World Order -- or Global Plantation. As some predict, will the Y2K problem be used as an excuse to implement martial law in the U.S. with the coming of the new Millennium? Such a staggering event would certainly fulfill the prediction made more than 100 years ago by Edward Bellamy, a dedicated Socialist, in his famous novel Looking Backward, 2000-1888: "On no other stage are the scenes shifted with a swiftness so like magic as on the great stage of history whence once the hour [the Year 2000] strikes?" (p.164. Dover Publications, New York).

Truly, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness [or wicked spirits] in high places" (Ephesians 6:12). These are the Light Bearers of Darkness against whom we wrestle.

Not to speak out and expose this evil is untenable.

What is the biblical admonition for Christians in these critical times? "[T]ake unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.

"Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness...

"Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God....." (Ephesians 6:14-17).

"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed [Jesus Christ], saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

"He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall have them in derision" (Psalm 2:1,2). Thankfully, this is not our battle. It is God's! He will take care of his enemies in his own time -- and in his own way!

EDUCATIONAL TOOLS

It is vitally important that we face the perilous days ahead with knowledge and understanding. We need to recognize the fact that we are at war; it is a war of simple truths vs. complex, interwoven falsehoods. The Catalog you now have in your hands is specifically designed to provide you with the necessary knowledge (in the form of books, videos and audio tapes) so that you can continue your education in what is really happening (and WHY!) on the national and international scenes. These educational tools will open up to you new vistas of knowledge and understanding you never dreamed existed.

You can use this knowledge and understanding to formulate your own plan of action. It is critically important that each of us does something to spread the truth, the application of which can truly revolutionize lives. Study to find your own special part in this war -- and then give it all you have!

All the information you need is now at your disposal. Emissary Publications and Midnight Messenger look forward to serving you in the weeks and months ahead.
