History That Must Be Told!

Part 15

Jesus Christ was the God of the Old Testament, before His human birth to become the Savior of the world (I Corinthians 10: 1-4; John 1: 1-3, 14). He inspired the prophet Daniel to give us clues as to when the Kingdom of God would supercede the Beast government of Revelation 13. He said there would be world travel and an incredible increase in knowledge (Daniel 12: 4). Have we seen jet travel around the world? Have we seen the electronics industry double its knowledge every two and one-half years? Then the rise of the “end-time” world government is in process and is nearly at a completion. Let’s continue to investigate the rise of this system that will fight Jesus at His return (Revelation 17: 12-14; Revelation 19: 11-21).

Some United States Senators smelled a conspiracy working on the world scene, and especially in the United States. Just after Thanksgiving, 1949, Senator Joseph McCarthy [WI] had three visitors come to his office. They “....showed the Senator a one-hundred page summary of Communist SUBVERSION in the United States, including serious penetration of the State Department. The report, which had been prepared under the direction of J. Edgar Hoover (head of the FBI), had already been supplied to the White House, the Secretary of State, and heads of other federal departments concerned. It detailed the operations of spy networks operating in the U.S. government and involving a large number of State Department employees, some in VERY high positions. Senator McCarthy read the report and was so shocked by what it revealed that he committed himself to DO something about it” (American Opinion Magazine, January 1973, p.63).

McCarthy saw a GIANT CONSPIRACY! Why wouldn’t high officials in the State Department and the Secretary of State reveal the concentration of Communists if they were NOT part of that conspiracy? The State Department conducts the OFFICIAL policy of the U.S. with foreign nations. Could our State Department have been taken over by Communists to aid in the overthrow of non-Communist governments?

“McCarthy also told the American public that it was at the Yalta conference in 1945 that Roosevelt and Stalin PLANNED, not only the Korean War that the United States was then involved in, but also the Vietnamese war that was to follow some 10 to 12 years later. It was on September 23, 1950, that McCarthy charged: ‘Here (Yalta) was signed the death warrant of the young men who were dying today in the hills and valleys of Korea. Here was signed the death warrant of the young men who will die tomorrow (yet in 10-12 years from then) in the jungles of Indochina (Vietnam)” (The Unseen Hand, Epperson, p.311).
McCarthy saw a deliberate conspiracy to send Americans to die in foreign lands in NO-WIN wars to break the will to protect the world against Illuminism/Communism.

The plot was to make the American military look weak and incapable of winning and the Communists unstoppable. Men in our own State Department were directing the plan, and it was being concealed by the Secretary of State and others in high positions. Remember, the United Nations had been founded by Communists in our State Department. Our Secretary of State had guaranteed the Russian Communists would always be in charge of the U.N. military -peacekeeping forces. With Communists leading the North Koreans and later North Vietnamese and the U.S. having to report our every action to a Communist in the U.N., no wonder we could not win in Asia.

McCarthy wrote: “How can we account for our present situation unless we believe that men HIGH in government are concentrating to DELIVER US TO DISASTER? This must be the product of a GREAT CONSPIRACY, a conspiracy on a scale so immense as to dwarf any previous such venture in the history of man. A conspiracy so black that, when it is finally exposed, its principals shall be forever deserving of the maledictions (speaking evil) of all honest men...” (McCarty and His Enemies by William F. Buckley, Jr., p. 358).

“What can be made of this unbroken series of decisions and acts contributing to the STRATEGY OF DEFEAT? They CANNOT be attributed to incompetence .....The laws of probability would dictate that part of... (the) decisions would serve this country’s interest.” (Fear of Conspiracy, p. 4).

On July 30, 1953, the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee published a report that proved Senator McCarthy to be accurate in his accusations. The report was entitled Interlocking Subversion in Government Departments. Part of the text stated: “The Soviet international organization has carried on a successful and important PENETRATION of the United States Government, and this penetration has NOT been fully exposed. This penetration has extended from the lower ranks to the TOP LEVEL policy and operating positions in our government. Despite the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other security agencies had reported extensive information about this Communist penetration, little was done by the Executive Branch to interrupt the Soviet operatives in their ascent in Government...” (Senate Internal Security Subcommittee report of July 10, 1950, entitled Interlocking Subversion in Government Departments).

Why have you NEVER read any reports concerning Communist penetration into our government since the early 1960s? W. Cleon Skousen, assistant to FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, discovered they wanted to discredit the FBI and eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Skousen condensed his findings of Communist objectives through infiltration into 45 points. Point #33 stated: “Eliminate all laws or procedures which would interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.” Point #34 stated: “Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.” Point #35 stated: “Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.” Our ability to defend ourselves from infiltration would be gone.

Senator Joseph McCarthy had uncovered a giant conspiracy that had taken over our State Department. He had a list of 81 people that were security risks in this one department. Notice the results of McCarthy’s investigation: “1) Fifty-seven of these cases were later summoned by a Loyalty Board, and fifty-four of the accused confirmed McCarthy’s charges by resigning under fire. 2) By November of 1954, ALL of the eighty-one persons on McCarthy’s list had left government employment by dismissal or resignation. 3) The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee revealed that on June 27, 1956, the State Department’s own security chief, Scott McLeod, drew up a list of 847 security risks in the State Department” (McCarthy , American Opinion, by James J. Drummey, p. 8). McCarthy had underestimated the real penetration into our State Department.

Senator McCarthy concluded that the purpose for this great conspiracy was “to diminish the United States in world affairs, to weaken us militarily, to confuse our spirit (will) with talk of surrender in the Far East, and to impair our will to resist evil. To What End? To the end that we shall be contained and frustrated and finally FALL VICTIM to Soviet intrigue from WITHIN and Russian military might from WITHOUT” (America’s Retreat From Victory, Joseph McCarthy, p. 138).

Senator Joseph McCarthy paid with his reputation and his life for exposing this great conspiracy. “Louis Budenz, a former member of the Communist Party, said about the Senator: ‘The destruction of Joe McCarthy leaves the way open to INTIMIDATE ANY PERSON OF CONSEQUENCE who moves against the CONSPIRACY. The Communists made him a symbol to remind POLITICAL LEADERS in America not to harm the Conspiracy or its WORLD CONQUEST DESIGNS’” (McCarthy, American Opin

ion, p. 9, as quoted in The Unseen Hand, by Ralph Epperson, p. 315).

But Dr. Medford Evans concluded that it was NOT the Communists who ultimately silenced Senator McCarthy, rather “A note is necessary on the relationship of the (Communist) Party - McCarthy’s declared enemy, as he was theirs -to the American establishment, which is presumably anti-Communist, and which McCarthy NEVER attacked, but which (the Eastern Establishment) attacked him and was indeed, more immediately the instrument of the destruction than was the Communist Party” (Assassination of Joe McCarthy, by Dr. Medford Evans, p. 53).

Was it the Eastern Establishment of Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and International Bankers and Corporations that destroyed Senator Joseph McCarthy for exposing their agent -International Communism? Senator McCarthy said the GOAL of Communism was to destroy our will to win and resist militarily. Was he right?

Is the conspiracy still at work in the 2008 elections?

The Candidates in 2008

The prophet Daniel was inspired to write an amazing statement. In referring to the most High God he wrote: “… that the most High rules in the kingdom of men, and sets up over it [kingdoms] the basest of men” (Daniel 4: 17). When a nation turns its back upon the true God of the Bible, He lets evil people take over the ruling responsibility that is actually harmful to the sinful people.

Meet the Real John McCain. The following is part of a letter to the Maine Republican delegates from Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, a Senior Policy Advisor, U.S. Department of Education during the Ronald Reagan Administration.

“This letter, supported by many delegates to the Republican Convention, is literally about saving the party and the nation from a maniacal neoconservative war monger, who supports a United States presence in Iraq for 100 years, and who is not really even a Republican.

“McCain’s ‘War hero’ image is a media creation NOT supported by the facts. McCain graduated 89th of the 899 cadets in his class at the Naval Academy. Why would we want someone who was a failure and took his responsibilities so flippantly as our commander-in-chief?

“McCain was an irresponsible pilot who crashed 6 planes, and started a major fire on an aircraft carrier through negligent action. Why would we want someone this reckless in the most important office on the planet???

“McCain collaborated with the enemy, was given soft treatment because his father was an admiral, and is known as ‘Songbird McCain’ by those who were imprisoned with him. He is the MIA/POW family’s worst enemy for his constant attempts to belittle their concerns and stifle their inquiries while serving in the Senate.

“McCain ditched his ill wife to marry an heiress when he returned from Vietnam. Is this the type of morality we Republicans condone? Is this type of heinous lack of loyalty what we want in a President?

“He also has a track record of shocking verbal abuse, including profanities against his Senate Republican colleagues. Senator Thad Cochran, MS, says ‘The thought of his being President sends a cold chill down my spine.’ Other Senators relate times when McCain screamed four-letter obscenities right in their faces in the Senate cloak room, like Dick Shelby, Rick Santorum or Jim Imhofe. ‘The man is unhinged,’ one senator said. ‘He is frighteningly unfit to be commander-in-chief.’

“The TRUTH is, John McCain is not even a Republican. He is a … LIBERAL in disguise. He not only can’t win this fall because he is so out of step with the majority of Americans and with the principled stands of Republicanism, but if we support this person for our nominee, he will likely destroy our party. Consider:

*“He was intimately involved in the ‘Keating 5’ Savings & Loan scandal.

*“He has been endorsed by the liberal/leftist New York Times.

*“He is a big advocate of the extreme ‘green’ global warming scare, and the economically horrific ‘solutions’ being proposed by people like Al Gore.

*“He has promoted illegal amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.

*“His McCain-Feingold bill has destroyed much of the rights of people to take part in the political process the way they see fit. This bill remains un-Constitutional and a major affront to the First Amendment on the right of free speech.

*“He is a big-time gun grabber, who is an extreme advocate of restrictions on 2nd Amendment rights.

*“He opposes repeal of Roe v. Wade, and opposes a Constitutional amendment to protect all life.

*“He is NO fiscal conservative, and he supports raising taxes on Social Security benefits.

*“He continues his aggressive support for the Iraq War, which costs U.S. taxpayers $12 billion a month, even though only 34% of Americans support the war. 4,538 Americans have died in the war, 29,780 have been wounded, 300,000 soldiers are suffering from major depression, and 320,000 received brain injuries, all as a result of this unconstitutional and immoral war (statistics are up to the present in writing this letter). “… In short, he is a media creation and the darling of the Trotskyite [socialist] neoconservative warmongers who have hijacked our party. He does not support our own [Republican] platform.”

Meet the REAL Barack Hussein Muhammed Obama. Celeste and Loren Davis are missionaries in Kenya, Africa and can shed some light on Barack Obama. The email reads:

“We are living and working in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (Obama’s tribe) here.

“Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence (over 350,000), and I don’t know the last count of the dead. Obama, under the name ‘friends of Obama,’ gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in East Germany. He (Odinga) has been trying to bring Kenya down for years, and the last president threw him in prison for trying to subvert this country! December 27, 2007 elections brought cries from ODM (Odinga Camp) of a rigged election. Obama and Raila speak daily. As we watch Obama rise in the U.S., we are sure that whatever happens, he will use the same tactic – crying rigged election if he doesn’t win and possibly cause a race war in America.

“What we would like you to know is that the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a Muslim, and he IS a racist; and this is a fulfillment of the 911 threat that it was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true Muslim way. We have been working with them for 20 years this July (2008)! He is not an American as we know it.

Please encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those that are promoting him. It is worldwide Jihad. All of our friends in Europe are very disturbed by the Muslim infiltration into their countries. By the way, his true name is Barack Hussein Muhammed Obama. Won’t that sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran!

“God bless you. … We are still fighting for our nation to withstand the same kind of assault that every nation, including America, is fighting

– takeover from the outside to fit the New World Order.”

This plan for the New World Order is the reason the controlled press will not tell us the truth! Islam has a teaching called taqiyya. It holds that lying to one’s enemy is not a sin if it advances the cause of Islam. That is why Obama denies being a Muslim. It makes you wonder why there is no fatwa against him as an apostate Muslim? Have we been sold a bill of goods that he never was a Muslim or left it as a child? If he holds himself to be a Christian under the doctrine of taqiyya, he is in good standing with the Muslims who want to take over and impose their medieval sharia law in place of our American freedoms. Our Constitution has set standards for new nations around the world! Sharia law is religion by COERCION, which our Constitution forbids!!!

Barack Obama’s record proves that he is more liberal than Hillary Clinton. Obama has earned 100% ratings from such socialist front organizations as Americans for Democratic Action, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the National Organization of Women, the NAACP, and the NEA.

Obama wrote a letter in 2004 to the Windy City Times, which is targeted at the Chicago gay community, stating he opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. He said it should be repealed, and he would vote for the repeal of the law. He vowed: “I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying.” In 2006, he followed through by voting against the Federal Marriage Amendment.

In 2002, he voted against a bill to protect babies that survived failed abortions. As an Illinois senator, Obama introduced the “Bernardin Amendment,” which was a Roman Catholic Cardinal Joseph Bernardin’s statement about socialistic universal health care.

As an Illinois state legislator, Obama also supported raising taxes on insurance premiums and on casino patrons, retaining the state death tax and levying a new tax on businesses.

In 1999, he voted against a requirement to make schools filter

internet pornography from school computers.

Looking Back Upon Obama’s History!

In an interview, Barack Obama referred to his mother as “the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics.” Since this man wants to lead the greatest nation on earth, it only makes sense to learn something more about his mother and the values that are so important to him.

Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro

November 29, 1942 - November 7, 1995

The mother of Senator Barack Obama, Stanley Ann Dunham, also known as Ann Dunham, was an American anthropologist and LEFTWING social activist -as in Socialist!!!

She was born in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to Stanley and Madelyn Dunham. Her father was a furniture salesman in downtown Seattle, Washington, and her mother worked for a bank. In 1956 after living in Seattle a year, her family moved to Mercer Island, Washington, so 13-year old Ann could attend the Mercer Island High School that had just opened. At the school, she was on the debate team and graduated in 1960. Her family moved to Hawaii, and Ann attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she studied anthroplogy. When Ann Dunham arrived in Hawaii, she was a full fledged radical leftist and practitioner of critical theory. She began to engage in miscegenation (inter-racial relationships) as part of her attack on society. Susan Blake, one of her friends, has stated that she never dated “the crew-cut white boys.” She had a world view, even as a young girl. She embraced that which was different. In Hawaii she met Barack Obama, Sr. from Kenya in her Russian language class.

Barack Obama, Jr. was born August 4, 1961.

Barack Obama, Sr. left Ann and their son in 1963 to attend Harvard University in Boston. Press reports claim Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. were divorced around this time; however, no evidence has yet been presented to show they were ever married. The senior Obama obtained a masters degree in economics at Harvard and returned to Kenya in 1965. There he obtained a position in the Kenyan government. He was killed in an automobile accident in 1982.

Two years later, when her son was five, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian oil manager and practicing Muslim whom she met at the university. In 1967 they moved to Jakarta, Indonesia. While in Indonesia, Ann got a job at the American embassy teaching English.

Barack’s half-sister, Maya Soetoro was born in Indonesia. Ann, Barack, and his half-sister Maya moved back to Hawaii. Ann Dunham soon returned to Indonesia with Maya, but she divorced Soetoro in the late 1970s.

Dunham traveled around the world, pursuing a career in rural development that took her to Ghana, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Nepal and Bangladesh. In 1986, Ann Dunham worked on a developmental project in Pakistan. Later that year, Ann and her daughter traveled the Silk Road in China. In 1992, she earned a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Hawaii. Her dissertation, ‘Peasant Blacksmithing in Indonesia: Surviving and Thriving Against All Odds,’ was 1067 pages long. She worked for the Ford Foundation and promoted Microlending. The Ford Foundation, along with many others, were cited by the House Committee on Un-American Activities as being subversive to our Republican form of government.

During Obama’s campaign for the 2008 presidential election, he portrayed his mother as a conservative girl from Kansas; however, in reality she was a radical LEFTIST and cultural Marxist. She lived in the Seattle area, spending her teenage years in Seattle coffee shops with other young radical leftists. Obama claims his mother’s family were conservative Methodists or Baptists from Kansas. His mother’s parents were members of a left-wing Unitarian church near Seattle. The church located in Bellevue, Washington was nicknamed ‘the little RED church,’ because of its COMMUNIIST LEANINGS.

The school Ann attended, Mercer Island High School, was a hotbed of pro-Marxist radical teachers. John Stenhouse, board member, told the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party USA, and this school had a number of Marxists on its staff. Two teachers at this school, Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman, BOTH Frankfurt School style Marxists, taught a critical theory curriculum to students which included: rejection of societal norms, attacks on Christianity and the traditional family, and assigned readings by Karl Marx. The hallway between Foubert’s and Wichterman’s classrooms was sometimes called ‘anarchy alley.’
