Unavoidable and Unpopular Truths, a Key to Freedom
Charles E. Carlson
We Hold These Truths has always tried to be an evidence builder, rather than a maker of unsupported declarations. We like to see each read what we have to say and decide what conclusions they should draw. But time is getting shorter for both of us, so we offer some blunt statements that we find to be self-evident.
Our forefathers, in writing the Declaration of Independence, were forced to draw some conclusions they did not have time or space to prove. They called these unsupported claims "self evident truths," meaning they are so obviously true that they do not need to be proved, and cannot be proved anyway. Without a faith in God, their truths were meaningless statements of opinion. Our forefathers' Declaration of Independence was good enough for most of the readers at that time, who must have believed as we do, that God is in charge, not man.
One of those truth's is that God endowed each of us with certain rights, one of which is the right to life. And further, in so doing, God created each of us "equal" in His eyes. These are examples of self-evident truths only if you earnestly believe in a Creator God. They result in commandments that almost everyone knows as definers of good and evil. For example, "thou shall not steal" and "thou shall not kill."
We think each one of our brash statements is so obviously true, it requires no proving. But in prior writings we have, in fact, piled up a lot of evidence to support each one, and we will provide more where and when we are asked to do so. We know that some of our readers do not believe God is the source of rights, but for those who do, we think these bold statements should be self-evident. You might wish to answer "yes" or "no" to each of these statements.
BOLD STATEMENTS WE HOPE YOU ALREADY BELIEVE
* All wars in which the United States has been involved in the last 100 years were deliberately arranged and brought about by those who profit from war. (yes or no)
* These profiteers (Warmakers) include politicians, international bankers and mega-corporations with powerful lobbies in Washington, and low visibility power groups from behind the scenes. (yes or no)
*In every fight there is a bully who picks the fight and a victim who is more or less forced into the conflict. This is true in the schoolyard, where we learn to watch out for bullies. (yes or no)
*In Iraq, the USA is the bully, being 10 or 100 times stronger than its victim. In the Holy Land, Israel is the bully, also many times stronger than the Philistines, who are the victims.) The truths of the relative strengths are self-evident, but only to those who will look. (yes or no)
* Two by-products of war are immorality and financial dilution. (yes or no)
* It is shortsighted to look for a political solution to our serial wars, because both major parties are controlled by the same power structure as is enumerated in (1) above. (yes or no)
* It is also shortsighted to contemplate impeaching a president. He will be replaced with someone just like him, for instance Clinton by Al Gore; Bush by Cheney (yes or no)
* Natural disasters are the politician's next best friend and take the place of unnaturally created disasters (wars) as a method of shifting wealth. Such is the case of the American tsunami (Katrina hurricane). (yes or no)
* Politicians cannot create natural disasters (yet), but if they could, they would certainly be tempted. (yes or no)
*Israel is the most favored nation on the face of the earth. It has benefited directly or indirectly from every war in the 20th Century, including two that occurred before its creation in 1948. (yes or no)
*The method of financing wars is always the printing of money. The process of printing money to pay for war is a proven fact of life and is best described by the expression "financial dilution". (yes or no)
* In the USA, the Federal Reserve System is a private (non-government) organization that has been granted an exclusive monopoly to create credit money. (yes or no)
* Those with the smallest income and the least capital are the most diluted by this system. (yes or no)
* Every dollar spent in every war must be repaid, because war produces no gain; it only shifts assets. For instance, Saddam Hussein no longer controls Iraqi oil, but some other profiteer, like the CIA or Halliburton Corp., does.
* Clever investing will not protect you from dilution, because it cannot protect you and your family from the by-product of dilution--war, and immorality. (yes or no)
* God created a mechanism to protect mankind from the twin curses of serial wars and systematic dilution. It is called "following Christ." (yes or no)
* Christ's followers are commanded to seek peace 100% of the time, without exception. Those who do not do so are not his followers. (yes or no)
* The war on terrorism is, in fact, a war of dilution against the American people. (yes or no)
* The high price of oil is the result of a deliberate policy by international businessmen, whom we call "The Warmakers." In the long run, it has nothing to do with natural disasters and world class storms. (yes or no)
* War destroys resources, it never builds them. Every dollar spent on war is a debt that must be repaid by someone. (yes or no)
* If Christianity is about peace, then it has obviously failed to do its job. (yes or not)
* Churches have been variously corrupted in history, always to the end that they do not interfere with the plans of the Warmakers. (yes or no)
* Today in America, the primary enablers of Serial Wars are institutions known as evangelical or "dispensational" churches. A more descriptive term for them is Christian-Zionists. (yes or no)
*Christian-Zionism is patriotism to another world power, Israel, for perceived reasons of faith. (yes or no)
* A world movement was established a century or more ago to make wars world-wide and to turn wars "on and off' like a fire hydrant. (yes or no, don't know)
* A new cult imitating Christianity and later called itself dispensationalism was created in Europe in the mid-19th Century. Today its leaders call it Christian-Zionism. (yes or no)
* Christian-Zionism (Dispensationalism) was successfully imported into the USA for the precise purpose of assuring that America's churches would support a world Zionist state. (yes or no)
* The history of Dispensationalism is virtually unknown to those who practice it. It is now the world's largest umbrella cult in the USA with 100 million members. (yes or no)
* Most readers have not seen these "unavoidable truths" simply because the American media is controlled by a half dozen Warmaker influenced companies. (yes or no)
PURELY OUR OPINION AND FAITH
you are receiving this letter because there is still freedom on the Internet, at least for the moment, and as fleeting though it may be, it is the only media that is not yet smothered
Serial wars, financial dilution, and moral collapse of our age can be ended despite our out of control political system, if those who claim to follow Christ simply opt out of dispensational organizations and follow Christ's words.
Because the statements above are unavoidable truths, there can be no soft landing from the financial disaster we Americans now face. But financial disaster is less permanent than moral destruction. Our parents did survive the "Great Depression."
There is hope in the impending moral disaster caused by the Warmakers, just as there is hope when a denying alcoholic hits bottom. Hope because we are already half-way through the disaster as we discover it. We are now in the eye of a hurricane far more far-reaching than Katrina, and the departing leg of that financial hurricane will be evident to everyone. It will result in the exposure of the Warmakers for what they are.
We believe the enabling, dispensational churches will collapse as many, like this author, who have been trustingly misled, attempt to return to following Christ. There is a moral cure for the problems we face that find strength in the destruction of our economy. It is always more important to the individual to turn from the moral disaster than it is to avoid the financial one. This is our final, unavoidable truth.
The cure to the disease is like withdrawal from drug addiction. To withstand it, we must be prepared to live as Christ prepared his followers. Would you like to do your part toward this end? A weekly Internet, New Testament Bible Study led by Roger Conoley, will soon be available. Watch for the announcement.
ENEMY ALIENS
Author: David Cole
Double standards imposed on foreigners are constitutionally suspect and counterproductive to America. David Cole, Georgetown law professor, and civil liberties lawyer, has written a book that should be discussed especially in view of the fact that the media claims they find little on the subject. Cole's book discusses the double standards between Constitutional freedoms in the War on Terrorism. He reasons that in balancing liberty and security, the U.S. has consistently imposed measures on foreigners (now citizens of foreign decent) that Americans would not tolerate if applied more broadly to themselves. While such a double standard is politically easy, it is constitutionally suspect, counterproductive as a security measure, and ultimately illusory because history shows that acceptance of such treatment for outsiders paves the way for similar measures in use against American citizens.
