Dear Friend:
April has been a hectic month for us. We were finally able to get another issue of Midnight Messenger (#144) produced, printed, and in the mail. This was followed by the production of our new book, tape and video catalog — the first in well over a year. All this hectic activity held up the writing of this Newsletter.
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act,” wrote George Orwell the famous author of 1984. Today’s world is certainly one of “universal deceit,” and in it telling the truth can get one branded as a “revolutionary” and an “anti-government” fanatic. Around the middle of April up to a million concerned citizens in a wide variety of locations from coast-to-coast participated in what were widely known as “Tea Parties.” These were loosely modeled after the famous “Boston Tea Party” that took place in 1773.The participants protested the exorbitant amount of taxes being paid to the government, particularly in light of the massive multi-trillion dollar bailouts of private banking houses, insurance companies, and automobile companies.
One of the many demonstrations was held in Chicago. There, CNN was represented by Susan Roesgen who smirkingly referred to the attendees as a bunch of “Obama bashers.” On air, it soon became evident that she was intent on “interviewing” only those she believed would look bad on camera. Working her way through the crowd while reading signs that read, “Stop Socialism,” ”Drop Taxes,” and “TEA: Taxes Enough Already,” she zeroed in on a man carrying his 2-year-old son. “Why are you here?” she demanded. His reply: “I hear the president say he is for Lincoln stood for. Lincoln’s primary thing was that he believed people had the right to liberty. Lincoln believed people had the right to share in the fruits of their own labor, and that government should not take it. We have clearly gotten to that point. People had the right....” The CNN representative, interrupted him: “What does that have to do with taxes? Do you realize you’re eligible for $400 [in “stimulus” money]? Do you know that the “land of Lincoln”[Illinois] got $50 billion out of the stimulus?”
Poor Susan Roesgen! She has apparently been so marinated in liberal fantasies and socialist economic delusions that she has no concept of reality. She is so politically biased as to be oblivious to basic truth. She was apparently unable to grasp the fact that all the fiat money being distributed via the $787,000,000,000 (for starters!) 1,074-page “stimulus package” has been heaped as a debt obligation on the shoulders of our children and grandchildren, thus guaranteeing their future financial servitude. As scriptures declares, “The rich [international bankers who created the phony, fiat money for the ‘stimulus’ out of thin air] rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender” (Proverbs 22:7).
The Obama administration has committed itself to unheard of budget deficits ($2,000,000,000,000 plus per year) and an unprecedented acceleration of the already unpayable national debt in order to “pay” for the grotesquely obscene and totally phony “stimulus packages.” Such fiscal insanity can only lead to hyperinflation and the ultimate demise of the once “almighty dollar.” One has only to recall what happened to the German mark in the early 1920s to envision what lies ahead for the phony, irredeemable Federal Reserve notes which currently masquerade as “dollars.” There is only one genuine, lawful (Constitutional) dollar — and that is one fully backed by “lawful money” — gold and silver (Article 1, Section 10). History clearly reveals that any other form of “money” leads to a descent into national slavery. As frankly admitted by the Richmond, Virginia, branch of the Federal Reserve in its 1996 Annual Report, prior to the Fed’s creation in 1913, there had been literally no inflation in the United States. The reason? Our lawful, Constitutional money system. Since a badly depleted and compromised Congress passed the Federal Reserve legislation on December 23, 1913, the value of the dollar has been debauched, losing at least 95 percent of its value.
BARROWFULS OF JUNK
This writer remembers as a child in Europe playing with German marks that, due to hyperinflation during the early 1920s, had lost all their value. His Dad had managed to get some as souvenirs, and we used them as “play money.” Before the mark’s total collapse at the end of 1923, barrowfuls of the junk could scarcely buy a loaf of bread. According to The Economics of Inflation: A Study of Currency Depreciation in Germany, by Bresciani and Turroni, at the end it took 4,200,000,000,000 marks to purchase a single American dollar. The highest denominated German banknote issued in 1923 was for 100,000,000,000,000 marks. No wonder they could later be used as “play money.”
Returning to the Chicago “Tea Party.” One lady who said she was an independent businesswoman protested Susan Roesgen’s methods, declaring: “You know what. You‘re not talking to regular, mainstream (people). You select people to talk to. We are here because we are sick and tired of the government taking our money and spending it in ways we have no say in — no say whatsoever. The government is being robbed by the [privately-owned] Federal Reserve Bank. They’re getting all our money. It’s not fair. It’s not the democrats or republicans. It’s all of them. It’s Congress... It’s about the government stealing our money.”
A man nearby elaborated, “What this is really about is the fact that our nation is moving from being a Constitutional Republic to being a Socialist oligarchy...Socialism is the first step to Communism, so said Karl Marx.”
In another “interview”on the same day, Roesgen zeroed in a man carrying a sign declaring that “Obama is a Fascist.” “Why do you say he’s a Fascist? He’s president of the United States. Do you realize how offensive that is?” He answered, “I say he’s a Fascist because he is... He’s a Fascist because the real pirates are in the White House, the Senate and the Congress. We need one-term limits for all elected politicians....” [Although there are a variety of definitions for the word “Fascist,” here is one that probably applies here: “A system of government marked by centralization of authority under strict socioeconomic control.... The most notable characteristic of a fascist state is the separation and persecution or denial of equality of a specific segment of the population based on superficial qualities or belief systems... Simply stated, a fascist government always has a class of citizen that is considered superior (good) and another (bad) based upon race, creed or origin.” The original Fascist, Benito Mussolini (Italy, 1883-1945) declared: “The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. Thus understood, Fascism is totalitarian, and the Fascist State — a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values — interprets, develops, and potentiates the whole life of a people.”
Readers will note that Fascism is another manifestation of Illuminism — the ideology promoted by Adam Weishaupt the founder of the Illuminati, the most secret of the secret societies. Weishaupt believed that only the “illuminated” or “enlightened” few had the natural “right” to rule over the unenlightened peasants. His movement was instrumental in jump-starting the current movement to create a new world order or one world government. This Luciferian or Satanic concept of a Godless world government originated with Nimrod in Babylon in the land of Shinar shortly after Noah’s Flood (Genesis 10 and 11). See, Fourth Reich of the Rich, Descent Into Slavery?, and Proofs of a Conspiracy, and Adam Weishaupt: Human Devil].
As Susan Roesgen signed off and turned things back to the studio, she did so with a parting barb: “You get the general tenor of this ... anti-government, anti-CNN. Since this is highly-promoted by the right wing conservative network and Fox... I can’t really hear much more, and I think this is not really family viewing.”
ANDERSON COOPER
Later in the day, CNN continued its coverage of the nationwide “Tea Parties.” On Anderson Cooper 360, the host couldn’t keep his own personal sexual perversion to himself. Reports Joseph Farah of worldnetdaily, “Cooper, a cover boy for the homosexual magazine The Advocate and listed as among the most powerful “gays” in the country by OUT magazine, made what can be characterized as an obscene and disgusting comment during CNN’s biased coverage of ... ‘tea party’ protests around the country.
“‘It’s hard to talk when you’re tea-bagging,’he said.
“This was a revolting attempt at ‘inside humor’ by Anderson Cooper. ‘Tea-bagging’ is known in the homosexual subculture as a practice involving a particular form of oral sex. This is hardly the kind of comment Americans expect from a respectable TV newsman paid by one of America’s largest media corporations in prime time.
“Just as sickening to me was the reaction from pervasive pundit David Gergen, who giggled in response to the comment. Did Gergen, a former White House press secretary, and a favorite political analyst of the establishment media, have any idea what Copper was saying? Who know? I doubt it. So why was he laughing? Is he in the habit of laughing at jokes he doesn’t understand? Was he more interested in protecting his own gig at CNN than in standing up to an immature, little weasel of a pretty-boy anchorman whose work might be more well-suited to the Comedy Channel or HBO than a serious news network? I can only guess....
“In [an earlier] report about homosexuals leaving the lifestyle after becoming Christians, Cooper had the following to say: ‘There are plenty of gay Christians who are happily gay and happily Christian and have fulfilling lives... We have had a number of people on the show who say they have been cured of homosexuality, that they went through, whatever, reversion therapy or — but every one of them basically admits that they still are attracted to a member of the same sex, they’re just forcing themselves to repress those feelings.’
“Does Cooper bring to the table some particular expertise on the subject of happy homosexuals or happy Christians? Is he becoming an open advocate for the homosexual agenda in his role at CNN, as his popularity with the homosexual press suggests? Is he ready to reveal his own sexual preferences to the world? Is he ready to discuss his own faith? Does he understand what the Apostle Paul had to say about homosexuals? (Romans 1:22-27). Is he more of an expert on Christianity and homosexuality than Paul? One wonders how many happy homosexual ‘Christians’ Cooper has met....
“Cooper handpicks the guests he has on his program. How many members of Exodus International has he chosen to interview? My guess? None. If he did, he might not get so much favorable coverage from the homosexual press. The question on the table before Cooper’s foul-mouthed, offensive comments on Tea Party day was whether or not he was capable of delivering the news straight. That’s what CNN has pretended his does at the network.”[end of Joseph Farah’s quote].
The reader will have noticed that Cooper stated that “every one” of the former homosexuals who have appeared on his program “basically admits ... they’re just forcing themselves to repress those feelings.” At first glance that may possibly appear to “prove” that homosexuality is “natural” — and thus justifiable. If one uses the same twisted “logic” they can claim that numerous other sins are justifiable and not anything to be concerned about.
Proof? The Apostle Paul lists what are termed “the works of the flesh.” Among the “works” listed are, adultery, witchcraft, idolatry, wrath, strife, murders and drunkenness (Galatians 5:17-21). If we follow Cooper’s “logic,” when we each “force ourselves to repress these natural, fleshly feelings” we are automatically depriving ourselves of something truly worthwhile and fulfilling. Would it not therefore be both perfectly acceptable and truly fulfilling to engage in any or all of these activities as the opportunity arises? Human history is replete with evidence that any society that embraces such insane “logic” is on the fast track to oblivion. In recent decades such non-critical “reasoning” has come to dominate the “thinking” of all too many Americans — not to mention the thinking of those in a number of other formerly civilized nations. No wonder society is continuing to crack, crumble, and fall apart at the seams. Can its demise be far distant?
JANET NAPOLITANO
Please pay attention. It is becoming increasingly clear that under the new Obama administration those who continue to think and act in defense of traditional values (those values that were instrumental in making the United States a great nation) are being increasingly demonized by those in positions of power — both in our nation’s capital and in state capitals nationwide. As journalist Michelle Malkin asked recently, “What and who are President Obama’s homeland security officials afraid of these days? If you are a member of an active conservative group that opposes abortion, favors strict immigration enforcement, lobbies to defend Second Amendment rights, protests big government, advocates federalism, and represents veterans who believe in any of the above, the answer is, You.
Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, in a April 7 nine-page warning memo to law enforcement offices nationwide, sounded the alarm over an undescribed “resurgence ... in right wing extremism activity.” Her report includes a very broad definition of the alleged “threat.” “Right-wing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are primarily anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority [as authorized in the Constitution, the supreme Law of the Land, Article VI], or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
It won’t escape the readers’ attention, of course, that this powerful indictment of conservatives was published a week before the “Tea Parties” were held nationwide. The report added, “Right-wing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived [what do they mean, “perceived”? Is it not real?] loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures.” When asked to explain who was responsible for this “extremist chatter,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Sara Kuban could not and would not name names.” The public is asked to blindly accept the statement as absolute, unchallengeable truth.
It is also important to note that the DHS report relied heavily on “facts” supplied by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) run by Morris Dees, the notorious court-certified child-molesting sex pervert who has conned tens of thousands of suckers into making him a multi-millionaire. The SPLC has named the venerable American Legion as a “hate group” for its stance on immigration enforcement. The report offers no data, but states with an almost resentful attitude towards protected free speech: “Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment but, in some cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.”
Again, it won’t escape the readers’ attention that if one defines dissenting opinion as “hate,” they can brand all their political opponents as “extremists.” In this manner, electoral “threats” can be marginalized — and a virtual dictatorship created. George Orwell’s Big Brother would be proud of such methods.
Tragically, most dumbed-down Americans blindly accept Machiavellian-type lying propaganda as being good for the future well-being of the nation. Never having been taught to think, define terms, and reason things out to their ultimate end, they are unable to differentiate between hideously destructive social policies and those that promote true wealth and freedom. Sadly, millions blindly accept lying propaganda as indisputable truth. They have thus fallen victim to and been buried by an avalanche of never-ending lies and smear tactics with which they are bombarded 24/7 from every point of the compass.
It is a sad fact that those who presently control the levers of power in the United States feel compelled to demonize political and fiscal realists, and smear those who stand for biblically-based, time-tested traditional values. Such deceivers will never engage in an open, above-board debate with those they scorn. The reason simple and very biblical. As Jesus laid it out nearly 200 years ago: This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil. Everyone that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest their deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God (John 3:19-21).
One additional point to chew on: Those who deem it necessary to resort to smear tactics betray a fundamental weakness and defect in their character, an insecurity and lack of confidence in their ability to intellectually defend their position. Smear is a weak man’s excuse. It is an asinine and sophomoric form of purging and release, but an extremely poor substitute for rational, reasonable dialogue and debate.
Hopefully, the readers of this AlertNewsletter are not listed among those who are thus mentally afflicted.
Best Wishes, Des Griffin
