<p><i>Gary Melechinsky inspired me to make a page about Joan of Arc, I hope it lives up to his expectations.</i></p>
<p><b>Below is a brief timeline of the life of this great Patriot.</b></p>
<p>1412 (?), Jan 6 - Joan of Arc was born Jehanne D’Arc at Domremy France to Jacques and Isabelle d'Arc, during the Truce of Leulinghen. Sporadic warfare continued between two rival French factions, the Armagnacs and Burgundians.</p>

These voices told her that it was her divine mission to free her country from the English and help the dauphin gain the French throne. They told her to cut her hair, dress in man's uniform and to pick up the arms.</p>

<p>1456, July 7 - Inquisitor Brehal and other Church officials overturned Joan's conviction. In his final summary of the case, Brehal described Joan as a martyr who was wrongly executed by corrupt, partisan clergy abusing a Church trial for secular purposes. Since martyrs are automatically considered saints, her canonization was effectively initiated at this point.</p>
<p>1909 - Officially beatified after the typical lengthy delay.</p>
<p>1920 - Officially canonized as a saint.</p>

<p>By Norman Chenoweth</p>
<p>The conduct of the national media and their criminal conspiracy against (Libertarian) Republican Texas congressman Dr. Ron Paul is utterly amazing.  For the first time in over one hundred years we have a true "patriot" running for the office of President, and the media is totally ignoring him like he has the plague.  It is obvious that those who control our national media also seek a central world government.  Also included in this conspiracy are the elite private International Bankers that own the Federal Reserve, who plotted years ago to gain control over the media.  They have been very successful with that endeavor.</p>
<p><b>Let's look at the facts.</b></p>
<ol>
<li><b>Ron Paul stated in the first debate that he would get rid of the IRS.</b>
<p>That statement alone should have made him the talk of the nation; no other candidate has stated that.  Surely this is newsworthy, but not a word about it from our controlled national media.</p>
<li><b>In the second debate Ron Paul stated he would get rid of the inflation tax.  A 1913-dollar now being worth only four cents. That statement implies he would get rid of the Federal Reserve.</b>
<p>No one has had the courage to do this since 1836 when Andrew Jackson threw out the bankers, calling them exactly what they are, "You are a den of vipers and thieves."  This sure seems newsworthy but still no follow-up from our controlled national media.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul wants to get back on a Gold standard and actually have money that is worth something other than worthless paper.</b>
<p>This country became the greatest and most prosperous nation on earth when it was on a gold standard.  Again this seems newsworthy but not a word from our controlled national media.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul wants to return to Constitutional government.</b>
<p>In view of the many unconstitutional laws passed by congress in the last ninety plus years it seems this would be newsworthy but still not a word from our controlled national media.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul wants to get special interests out of government.</b>
<p>That's a novel idea, but then the media is one of those special interests, so we know they don't want any part of that.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul not only wants to bring our troops home from Iraq, he also wants to bring them home from all over the world.</b>
<p>Since no other candidate has ever mentioned this, it sure seems it should be newsworthy, but still nothing from our national media.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul wants to STOP the North American Union.</b>
<p>The national media don't want to talk about the NAU, at all, period.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul, told a New Hampshire audience this, about the new highway: "They already have a plan for a highway running from Mexico up to Canada, a 12-lane highway with trains running in the middle. It's going to be an international highway. And there's been some secret funding already into our budgets to start this program moving. There's going to be eminent domain powers used to confiscate tens of thousands of acres to build this."</b>
<p>The national media don't want to talk about this highway either; it may interfere with their Imperial one-world government controllers.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul wants to get out of the horrible trade deal, NAFTA.</b>
<p>There should be a little news coverage on that idea but still nothing from our controlled national media.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul wants to get out of CAFTA, another bad trade deal.</b>
<p>This also is not newsworthy to our controlled national media.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul wants to get out of the corrupt World Trade Organization.</b>
<p>Surely this is newsworthy, but not to our controlled national media.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul wants to get out of the United Nations.</b>
<p>Just another novel idea, the controlled media don't want to discuss.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul doesn't believe in amnesty for illegals. He also wants to remove the birthright citizenship for illegals children born here.</b>
<p>Every illegal that has a child here, that child goes on Social Security for eighteen years, no wonder Social Security is in trouble.  You guessed it, still nothing from our controlled national media.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul said, "We must end welfare state subsidies for illegal immigrants."</b>
<p>That seems to be a sensible idea but still not newsworthy for our controlled national media.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul wants nothing to do with one-world government.</b>
<p>Of course, that is not a position our controlled media can support.</p>
<li><b>Ron Paul wants to really secure our borders.</b>
<p>You would think that with all of the controversy about this, that it would be newsworthy but as you can see, nothing about Ron Paul is newsworthy to our controlled national media!
</ol>
<p>When Ron Paul finally gets on a national news program, 90% of the time they do everything in the world to discredit him in any way they can including telling lies.  Obviously they have been unable to dig up any dirt on Dr. Paul or they wouldn't have to lie about him.  It's hard to find a poll that Ron Paul isn't among the top three candidates, yet I just heard a newscaster on CNN state that Ron was at 1% in the polls.  What kind of garbage is that?  A bold faced lie is what that is.</p>
<p><b>More Facts about Ron Paul</b></p>
<ul>
<li>He has never voted to raise taxes.
<li>He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
<li>He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
<li>He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
<li>He has never taken a government-paid junket.
<li>He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
<li>He has never voted for an unconstitutional bill.
<li>He voted against the Patriot Act.
<li>He voted against regulating the Internet.
<li>He voted against the Iraq war.
<li>He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.  (I wonder how many other congressmen can say that, if any?)
<li>He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
</ul>
<p>If all of this doesn't add up to a criminal conspiracy, I don't know what does.  Who wouldn't want a candidate like Ron Paul for president?  With an outstanding record like his the media should have been all over him, asking how he intends to accomplish these goals.  However as you can see, he is virtually ignored by the criminal conspiracy of our controlled national media.</p>
<p>The really sad part of this conspiracy is that it is extended to the Republican Party itself.  The Neocons in the Republican Party are doing everything they can think of to sabotage Ron Paul's efforts to restore this country to the Republic it was intended to be.  Let's hope that the Internet has the power to overcome these Traitors and get Ron Paul elected.  When you consider that the Mainstream Republican Party figures supported the Democrat, Greg Laughlin that ran against Ron Paul in the 14th congressional district of Texas in 1996, it's not hard to see that even the Neocon branch of the Republican Party want nothing to do with Ron Paul.  That leaves it up to We The People to see that Ron Paul gets a fair deal in this campaign.</p>
<p>I consider this our last chance to save our Republic without an armed revolution similar to the one in my fiction book, "The Invisible Patriots - The Second American Revolution".  I find myself being a very selfish person, wanting Ron Paul to become president because of his dedication to our constitution and his many other virtues, while at the same time I fear for his life.  When you are talking about trillions of dollars the Imperial One-World Order elitists and the criminal International Bankers who own the Federal Reserve are going to loose if Ron Paul does overcome the lack of media attention and become president, you have to fear for his life.  May God bless and watch over Ron Paul.</p>

My Biblical studies have taught me that obedience is the primary desire of King Jesus and, as a result I believe, all politicians should be obedient to their oath to obey the Constitution. When they are unable to do so they should resign or be voted out of office.

<p>By Al Cronkrite</p>
<p>Fall is approaching and voters are thinking about elections.</p>
<p>Prevailing advice is to omit discussion of political issues because the holders of political opinions are often dangerously dogmatic and bringing up the issue results in acrimony, broken relationships, and jeopardy to cherished sacred cows.</p>
<p>However, being interested in seeing truth settle on its deserved high pinnacle, killing sacred cows is often necessary and humbled by ones own potential for error, discussion of the conduct of political affairs should be a truth seeking quest.</p>
<p>God has given me a relatively long life, long enough to survive the political indifference of my youth and middle years and to become a student of the demise of the American Democratic Republic. Yes, I know, many still live under the illusion that America is the land of the free and the home of the brave and that our flag still waves above the fray. But, for those who still believe it, it might be good to try and find a single public description of our form of government that includes the word Republic. The Republic part of Democratic Republic refers to the restraints our founders placed on government by binding it with the words contained in the legal documents of our founding, principally the Constitution.</p>
<p>A Democracy is rule by the ruled and is characterized by a tyranny of the majority. Democracy was sought by Karl Marx as a prelude to revolution.</p>
<p>The administration of President Bush, the younger, has been laced with the promotion of and references to Democracy accompanied by an egregious disregard for our Constitution. There have also been great cries about Freedom concurrent with massive intrusions into the liberty of individual citizens.</p>
<p>Barring a major revolt in the electorate, the coroner may soon be called to determine the cause of the death of the American Democratic Republic. The Constitution is no longer a binding document in the high circles of our government. Instead its mandates are considered anachronistic and no longer applicable to our current situation. Yes, once in a while it is dragged out and its passages are sited but only to support some predetermined position.</p>
<p>My Biblical studies have taught me that obedience is the primary desire of King Jesus and, as a result I believe, all politicians should be obedient to their oath to obey the Constitution. When they are unable to do so they should resign or be voted out of office. At the present time this would require that our President and almost all of our congressmen and senators with the exception of Texas Representative Ron Paul be voted out of office.</p>
<p>The two party political system developed early in Americas history. Federalists who sought a strong and sizeable government presence were opposed by Anti-Federalists who sought to restrict its size and power. Alexander Hamilton was a Federalist while Thomas Jefferson was an anti-Federalist. Jefferson led the Jeffersonian Republicans while Hamilton supported the Federalists. It was this dichotomy that set the stage for the two party system.</p>
<p>The Christian posture in relation to government should be to limit its size and authority to Biblical parameters. It was ironic that the Deist, Jefferson, supported limited government against nominal Christian Federalists like Adams and Washington.</p>
<p>The checks and balances built into the framework of our government plus the additional checks provided by opposing political parties served the nation well for many decades. However, the same sin that was used to entice our ancient begetters remained in their progeny. Empires are built by leaders who crave power over their peers and are willing to use force to obtain it. Historically, armed invasions have been the instrument of empire but in these latter days a much more subtle and dangerous tool is being used.</p>
<p>Agrarian economies provided the fruit of ones labor at harvest but as the industrial revolution took place, more and more people devoted their labor to creating products that were owned by a different entity and received the fruit of their labor in the form of a medium of exchange. Money, the medium of exchange, is now involved in almost every transaction including agrarian occupations.</p>
<p>Control of the money offers a high degree of hegemony over both government and business and those who control it have great power. Mayer Amchel Rothchild (1743-1812) reportedly bragged <i>"Let me issue and control a nation's money, and I care not who writes its laws".</i> Mr. Rothschild reasoned that he could overcome the power of legal dominion with the power of money.</p>
<p>Although the quest for power is antediluvian the American stage was set by the quasi-surreptitious creation of the <a href="http://www.worldnewsstand.net/today/articles/fedprivatelyowned.htm" target="vk_user">Federal Reserve System</a> on Jekyll Island in 1913. Rhode Island Senator Nelson Aldrich, Wall street surrogate and father-in-law to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., set the machinery in motion. Constructed at a clandestine meeting on Jekyll Island the legislation was successfully pushed through congress just before Christmas in 1913. It was signed by President Woodrow Wilson, a professing Reformed Christian and former President of Princeton University, who later lamented saying <i>"I have unwittingly ruined my country."</i> That was over ninety years ago and since that time the clutches of globalism have systematically progressed.</p>
<p>Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency from 1920 to 1931, <a href="http://www.wealth4freedom.com/truth/2/McFadden.htm" target="vk_user">Congressman Louis McFadden</a> said this,</p>
<ul>
When the Federal Reserve Act was passed, the people of these United States did not perceive that a world banking system was being set up here. A super-state controlled by international bankers and industrialists... acting together to enslave the world...Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers but the truth is--the Fed has usurped the government."
</ul>
<p>At his death there was apparently no suspicion of foul play but there had previously been more than one attempt on his life and suspicion still exists that he may have been poisoned.</p>
<p>Few Americans really understand the amount of power necessary to bring about the massive changes our nation has gone through during the Twentieth Century and the beginning of the Twenty First.</p>
<p>America was manipulated into World War I, a European conflict, and it was followed by the first seeding of world government, the League of Nations. This pernicious organization failed due to lack of American support.</p>
<p>In response to the ravages of a recession engineered by the Federal Reserve, President Franklin D. Roosevelt in dictatorial fashion, confiscated all gold, and created socialist programs that have stifled individual initiative, fostered dependence on government, and transformed the economy of the nation.</p>
<p>America has always been manipulated by the financial minions in England. The Rothschilds have been involved in the ownership and conduct of our Federal Reserve and have exerted a powerful influence on the conduct of American affairs.</p>
<p>President Roosevelt schemed us into another European conflict by engineering the attack on Pearl Harbor. Following World War II a better seed was planted to grow globalism; the United Nations took the place of the League of Nations. Taxpaying American voters have foolishly allowed our deceitful elected officials to use our tax dollars to finance an organization bent in stealing our wealth and our sovereignty. United States is and has been the major financial supporter of the United Nations.</p>
<p>Though it was never publicly acknowledged, since World War II all of our wars have been fought under the auspices of the United Nations.</p>
<p>Nine-Eleven, the second Pearl Harbor, created an emergency that has involved our nation in another war in Iraq and allowed our government to codify police state legislation on a grand scale.</p>
<p>In 1921, less than a decade after the Federal Reserve was chartered, an organization called the <a href="http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/shadow/cfrintro.htm" target="vk_user">Council on Foreign Relations</a> was formed by a group of wealthy Wall Streeters:  J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Bernard Baruch, Otto Kahn, Jacob Schiff and Paul Warburg. With its clandestine financial connections the CFR has for almost a century acted as a shadow government, predetermining presidential candidates, writing legislation for congress, and without a word spoken, exerting heavy influence on voting in both the House and the Senate toward the super-state mentioned by Congressman McFadden.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.cfr.org/publication/8102/" target="vk_user">current CFR agenda</a> is being carried out to the letter by the Bush II Administration. Click up this page then click on the American Version of Building a North American Community.</p>
<p>Both major political parties are controlled by the CFR cabal and votes for either the Democrats or the Republicans will result in more of the same. Treason in our government is bought and paid for and the only way around it is to vote out every incumbent and vote in third party candidates that are not beholden to the conspirators.</p>
<p>If you love America and want to see freedom and justice survive, voting for the lesser of two evils is no longer an option.</p>
<p>It is my contention that American citizens who support either of the two major political parties support the lies and deceit our leaders are using to gain acceptance of world government and are not patriots but accessories to treason in high places!</p>
<p>Recently, on the American View radio program, Michael Peroutka and John Lofton presented an interview with Pastor Joe Morecraft of Chalcedon Presbyterian Church in Dunwoody, Georgia. Dr. Morecraft, a former candidate for congress, confirmed that he could only support a political party if its platform was totally Christian. However, he claimed that support for the Republican Party and maybe even the Democratic Party did not involve sin and should be acceptable in Christian circles.</p>
<p>I agree with Pastor Morecraft that political parties are not churches but I disagree with his contention that sin is absent when voters in a democratic society choose to cast a ballot for a sin sullied candidate when there is a righteous candidate available and do so because they believe the sin sullied candidate has a better chance of winning. Such reasoning is not only pragmatically evil but precludes the blessing of our righteous Christian God.</p>
<p>Consider, dear reader, the blunt power necessary to gain the support of our duly elected president, congressmen, and senators, in passing legislation that has resulted in the loss of our national manufacturing base; NAFTA has almost completely replaced American manufactured goods with Chinese duplicates. Go to any department store and try to find anything made in America. Manufactured goods are wealth, services are not! Our own elected representatives voted for legislation designed to steal our wealth and reduce the standard of living of our citizens by exporting their means of livelihood. If our government was honest and not a treasonous entity, do you think the American electorate would have voted for such a travesty?</p>
<p>When you have finished that consideration, think for a moment about a national leader vested specifically with the responsibility of defending our nation who has allowed up to 25 million foreigners to invade our country without firing a shot. Then consider that he has foisted massive freedom robbing legislation on us ostensibly to protect us from terrorists. Try to reconcile that enigma.</p>
<p>I understand that the odds against thwarting the demise of our nation are infinitesimal but to consider supporting the parties that have and will continue to destroy our nation and our culture is an insane exercise that every informed citizen should avoid.</p>
<p>Now that President Bush, the younger, has seriously devastated the nation with his globalist policies, there will be a big push to replace Republicans with Democrats. Democrats will only bring more of the same loss of sovereignty and freedom. American voters need to quit conniving to change the two major political parties or to use them to bring about some necessary change. Both major political parties are hopelessly manipulated by the New World Order crowd and no longer support the best interests of our nation.</p>
<p>Vote out the incumbents, cast a vote for righteousness, vote third party, and forget about who wins the election!</p>
<ul>
"That being said, the ball is squarely in your court. You are part of a select few who have the education, intelligence and desire to even care about such things. In other words, it is up to you. You are part of the last classically educated free-thinking generation in this nation. If you wish to preserve your country for your grandchildren, then get busy. Write letters, form groups which will inform your family and friends. Buy shortwave radios, and create radio networks which will get together and decide how to create an informed voting block that will take back your country."

<p>This column is archived at <a href="http://invisiblepatriots.com/web2/AlCronkrite2.html" target="vk_user">http://invisiblepatriots.com/web2/AlCronkrite2.html</a></p>
<p>By Al Cronkrite</p>
<p>There are gaggles of writers, many are patriots, who write about the underbelly of the United States. They regularly churn out factual information on what is happening to our legal structure and often point out influences that seem to be at odds with the best interests of the nation. Some of them are privy to more information than others but none of them can actually prove many of the specifics of their contentions; their contentions are usually derived from visible perceptions and the impetus is obscure. This sort of conviction is similar to circumstantial evidence at a trial and is always subject to questions and rebuttals.</p>
<p>The writers to whom I refer are contending with invisible hands that pull the strings that control the conduct of the United States Government. (Myself included.) Some believe it is the Illuminati, some believe it is the Masons, some blame the Federal Reserve System, some opt for Round Table groups, some blame the Jesuites, the Rothschilds are implicated as well as the Rockefellers, the military/industrial complex is often mentioned, and among others elite Zionists and international bankers are regularly named as culprits.</p>
<p>There is confusion about who is responsible for the continued slide of United States into World Government and Totalitarianism. A reliable yard stick is needed.</p>
<p>When Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto they listed ten steps necessary to overthrow the free enterprise system. These principles have all become part of the fabric of the United States Government.</p>
<p><i>1st Plank of Communism: Abolish Private Property. This is being accomplished by land use laws, property taxes, zoning laws, environmental laws, etc.</i></p>
<p><i>2nd Plank of Communism: A heavy progressive income tax. There was NO income tax until 1913 when it began at 1%, never to go above 2%. What are you paying?</i></p>
<p><i>3rd Plank of Communism: Abolish all rights of inheritance. Today, we have heavy legal and probate fees plus inheritance taxes.</i></p>
<p><i>4th Plank of Communism: Confiscate all property of emigrants and rebels (anyone who speaks out against the government). Unconstitutional Regional Government has been installed which controls all of the physical, social and economic assets of all the counties.</i></p>
<p><i>5th Plank of Communism: Centralization of Credit in the hands of the state. In America this was done in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act. At first, it was simply the International Bankers who controlled the Federal Reserve; but by 1933, the U.S. was bankrupt and these bankers foreclosed on America. They created a new form of government called Socialism that has replaced our once Constitutional Republic. Public Law 91-151 prohibits any person to extend credit without a special license: a $1,000 fine or one year in prison could result (not yet enforced). A Social Security number is required in a business transaction.</i></p>
<p><i>6th Plank of Communism: Control all means of Transportation and Communication. The mass media has been in the hands of the Marxist Council on Foreign Relations for years [One of the Communist Rules of Revolution was to get control of all media and use it for their propaganda]. Presidential Executive Orders #10999 and #10995 provide for the take-over of all transportation and communications. They provide for the regulating of airlines, railroads, highways and the news media. Look at Homeland Security and the military at airports.</i></p>
<p><i>7th Plank of Communism: All production is to be controlled BY the State. There is a massive number of federal guidelines that industry must follow. The federal government is now involved in over 850 businesses. The Federal Bureaucracy forces farmers to grow [or not grow] specific crops and sell them below production costs. No wonder thousands of farmers leave the land every year and conglomerates take over. We have Corporate Socialism in America!!!</i></p>
<p><i>8th Plank of Communism: Equal liability of ALL to labor. Women are forced out of the home to work just to survive. Equal opportunity employment for both sexes. Executive Order #11000 will force civilians into government work brigades.</i></p>
<p><i>9th Plank of Communism: Combine agriculture with manufacturing, thus abolishing the distinction between town and country. We have seen the emergence of Urban Renewal, Population Control, Metro Councils, Regional Government Planning Programs, and the plans to eliminate Counties, Local Government and State Borders.</i></p>
<p><i>10th Plank of Communism: Control ALL Education. Federal "aid" to education means we have government-controlled schools and curriculum.</i></p>
<p>(The foregoing explanation of the Ten Planks was taken from an internet page. The URL was not available.)</p>
<p>The advancement of these socially destructive steps is proof that powerful forces within our nation are working to rob us of our freedom. Today, many additional serious restrictions to our freedoms have been passed since the 9/11 destruction of the World Trade Center. The Department of Homeland Security armed with the Patriot Act and the 50,000 employees of the Transportation Security Administration has almost destroyed our Bill of Rights opening the door to police state tyranny at the will of the President.</p>
<p>The NAFTA agreement contained 1700 pages. Not only was it not written by our elected representatives but most of those who voted for it had not read it. Worse yet, Americas citizens have never been privy to its content.</p>
<p>Much of the impetus to join United States with the world and overshadow its sovereignty has come from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a Rockefeller birthed organization to which an overwhelming number of government operatives belong. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_Foreign_Relations" target="vk_user">Read about CFR involvement with our government here.</a></p>
<p>The genesis of much of the present world chaos can be found in the 1944 Bretton Woods meeting which created the International Trade Organization and set up the financial structure for world domination. Involved in this effort were U. S. Treasury executive Harry Dexter White (later found to have been a member of a Soviet Espionage ring.) and Will Clayton, who worked closely with David Rockefeller and Charles Spofford in constructing the ITO and the Marshall Plan. In 1947 Clayton journeyed to Switzerland where he was significant in crafting the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). All of these men were members of the CFR. <a href="http://www.stoptheftaa.org/artman/publish/article_142.shtml" target="vk_user">Read about the planned destruction of United States here.</a></p>
<p>In the years shortly following WWII congress refused to pass this treasonous legislation and it waited in the wings for the Clinton/Gingrich betrayal during the 1990s.</p>
<p>Following is a paragraph from the 1999 Hart/ Rudman report entitled New World Coming.</p>
<ul>
The international system will wrestle constantly over the next quarter century to establish the proper balance between fealty to the state on the one hand, and the impetus to build effective transnational institutions on the other. This struggle will be played out in the debate over international institutions to regulate financial markets, international policing and peace-making agencies, as well as several other shared global problems. Nevertheless, global forces, especially economic ones, will continue to batter the concept of national sovereignty. The state, as we know it, will also face challenges to its sovereignty under the mandate of evolving international law and by disaffected groups, including terrorists and criminals. Nonetheless, the principle of national sovereignty will endure, albeit in changed forms.
</ul>
<p>Gary Hart, Warren Rudman and the majority of the other twelve who signed this document were members of the CFR. Read the entire report <a href="http://www.fas.org/man/docs/nwc/nwc.htm" target="vk_user">here</a>, <a href="http://www.fas.org/man/docs/nwc/PhaseII.pdf" target="vk_user">here</a>, and <a href="http://www.fas.org/man/docs/nwc/" target="vk_user">here</a>.</p>
<p>There is abundant proof that a conspiracy to meld United States into a World Order has been in the works for many years and is being thrust upon us with great force in this fledgling Twenty First Century.</p>
<p>American citizens need to disavow their aversion to conspiracy theories and come to understand that conspiracies are common. Jesus, our Savior and our King, was victim to a conspiracy (Though He willingly sacrificed His life, those who took it conspired to do so.). Our sinful natures are prone to conspire and we do so often. Think of the scores of churches that have been split by conspiracies.</p>
<p>Third World nations have everything to gain and nothing to loose by joining in world government; United States has everything to loose and nothing to gain.</p>
<p>Look around you, our industry is leaving, our wealth is being depleted, immigration is destroying our culture, Christianity is being marginalized and will soon be legally stifled, our freedoms are being destroyed, and the stage is being set for a huge loss of sovereignty by destroying our borders with Mexico and Canada.</p>
<p>Dear reader, if you are a Christian and believe the Bible is the Word of God consider what God did at Babel. And they said, come let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name; lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one anothers speech. Genesis 11: 4,6,7.</p>
<p>World government is another effort to build a Tower of Babel. It is a consummate evil and should be resisted by every Christian and preached against from every pulpit.</p>
<p>There are many different secretive organizations that meet at various intervals, several are listed at the beginning of this article. Several of them probably have pernicious secret agendas but their influence on the policies of the United States is not as easy to prove as with the CFR which has held sway over the highest levels of our government for several decades. It would be helpful if those involved in exposing the conspiracy would attribute it to a source that can be easily identified.</p>
