										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been at this for over a year now.</p>
<p>In that time, the number of connections I’ve made that have proved to be worthwhile are so small as to be negligible.  Allies have turned out to be enemies and enemies have turned out to have some damn smart things to say.</p>
<p>In their desire to disseminate disinformation and to pit “learning against learning” (the Counter-Reformation tactic of sowing truth with lies) it was actually an incognito Jesuit priest who alerted me to the Jesuit World Order.  It took me a while to sniff him out but his pushing of Jesuit doctrines like Zionism, Dispensationalism, Futurism and the Pre-Tribulation Rapture helped me to know that his inexplicable racism wasn’t just a personal dysfunction but confirmation of his true agenda.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://percolate.blogtalkradio.com/offsiteplayer?hostId=854637&amp;episodeId=8011605" width="100%" height="180px" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>While Papal insurgents like Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily and Walid Shoebat, the reformed “terrorist”, pushed Barack Obama’s birth certificate and supposed muslim background, the reality of his past is that he is <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/10/us/politics/10obama.html?_r=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a CIA fabrication</a> <span id='easy-footnote-1-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-4085' title='Messiah went &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/10/us/politics/10obama.html?_r=0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;off teleprompter&lt;/a&gt; during the 2008 campaign and admitted going to Pakistan in the 1980’s when it wasn’t feasible for the average American citizen and spoke of how he “checked in” with the CIA&amp;#8230;to be a jihadi drug mule, most likely.  It’s humorous how the Times notes of this experience that Barry “did not mention [this] in either of his autobiographical books”.  I guess &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cashill.com/natl_general/barack_obama_bill_ayers.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Bill Ayers forgot to put&lt;/a&gt; that in.'><sup>1</sup></a></span> who learned to be a black Communist from the best; the Jesuits in Chicago like Greg Galluzzo.</p>
<p>The “Jewish-run” New York Times very <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/23/us/the-catholic-roots-of-obamas-activism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carefully screens Galluzzo</a> as a “former” Jesuit (no such thing) who learned activism from Jewish Communist Saul Alinsky.</p>
<p>The Romans have slithered a long way down from putting out their own legions and now never make a stand unless there’s a patsy Jew standing in front of them—and if there isn’t enough anti-Semitism slamming their target they make sure to have their trolls, operatives and coadjutors stir it up.</p>
<p>Galluzzo ran the so-called “Gamaliel Foundation” that taught disenfranchised blacks in Chicago how to be malcontent Communist “community organizers”.  When it comes to “<strong><em>who?</em></strong>” founded Gamaliel, no one seems to know, (not <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamaliel_Foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a> nor <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printgroupProfile.asp?grpid=7004" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anyone else</a>) they simply state “<strong><em>when</em></strong>” (1968) and move on, pretending that they’ve answered your question.</p>
<p>We <em>can</em> answer that question at the same time that we answer “Who really runs Chicago?” — with the location of the Gamaliel offices on La Salle Street.</p>
<p>La Salle Street is named after Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, the Roman Catholic patron saint of rabble-rousers — I’m sorry &#8230; “teachers” (same thing). [<a href="http://www.catholiceducation.org/en/education/catholic-contributions/the-catholic-church-and-the-creation-of-the-university.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quote:</a> “The Church played a central if not exclusive role in the establishment and encouragement of the university.”]

<p>Not to go down a rabbithole but while in Chicago Obama met the man that would eventually pen his “autobiography” for him; Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers.  <a href="http://www.cashill.com/natl_general/barack_obama_bill_ayers.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This was uncovered</a> by an outstanding investigative journalist named Jack Cashill.  One wonders how Jack is able to get his work published regularly by sites <a href="http://www.wnd.com/author/jcashill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">like Joseph Farah’s WorldNetDaily</a> until one learns that Jack is a good <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Cashill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Franciscan-trained Catholic</a>.</p>
<p>One also wonders how William Ayers can go from an unpunished <em>true</em> <a href="http://nypost.com/2015/03/29/weatherman-underground-bomber-unmasked-as-city-schoolteacher/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“domestic terrorist” to teaching</a> your college student how to be like him until one learns how Rome and her Jesuits own <a href="http://www.catholiceducation.org/en/education/catholic-contributions/the-catholic-church-and-the-creation-of-the-university.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“higher education” and always have</a>.</p>
<p>But the Good Lord has a sense of humor and the good news is that, by “coincidence”, I just happened to live right down the street from that very same incognito Jesuit — “Eric Jon Phelps”.  I would not have been able to sniff him out had I not broken bread with him, and his family, on several occasions.</p>
<p>—That’s right; his family.  The man is an incognito Jesuit with a wife and children.</p>
<p>I know what the Lord did for <em>me</em> with this “coincidence” of location, I wonder what He was doing for Eric and the Jesuits.</p>
<p><strong><em>Someone’s Knockin’ At The Door, Somebody’s Ringin’ The Bell&#8230;</em></strong><span id='easy-footnote-2-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-2-4085' title='&lt;em&gt;Someone’s knockin’ at the door, Somebody’s ringin’ the bell, Someone’s knockin’ at the door, Somebody’s ringin’ the bell, Do me a favor, Open the door and let ‘em in, yeah, let ‘em in.  Sister Suzie, brother John, Martin Luther, Phil and Don, Brother Michael, auntie Gin, Open the door and let ‘em in, yeah.&lt;/em&gt;  Let ‘Em In, Wings, 1976'><sup>2</sup></a></span>
<p>I have something akin to a love/hate relationship with the Seventh Day Adventist Church (more like “love/intense annoyance”).</p>
<p>After the Jesuits woke me up to the Jesuit World Order (I really enjoy writing that), I latched on to the teachings of Seventh Day Adventists like Bill Hughes, Steve Wohlberg, Doug Batchelor and Professor Walter Julius Veith.</p>
<p>Professor Walt, by far, has the most to offer as a dedicated instructor on the topic of “Who rules the world from behind the scenes?”  The other men are good teachers but also pastors so they aren’t dedicated to their craft (sorry!<span id='easy-footnote-3-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-3-4085' title='I &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; want you to know the teachings from these men are just what the Freemasons &lt;em&gt;don’t&lt;/em&gt; want you to hear so it was just a joke!'><sup>3</sup></a></span>) the way Professor Walt is.</p>
<p>You know you’ve arrived when you get <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Veith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">your own Wikipedia entry</a>!</p>
<p>What I’ve found deeply frustrating, however, is that Walter Veith will zero right in on the Luciferian agenda in religion and reality and completely miss the fire in his own house due his blind sectarian zeal.</p>
<p>This is actually true of all the men I’ve mentioned; particularly Pastor Bill Hughes—again, solid men of Christ but fiercely sectarian and just as fiercely blind in that regard.</p>
<p>As a result of how they cling to the doctrines of men along with an honest examination of Scripture (who can really say they have the one true interpretation of all doctrines?!), they get ensnared in traps laid by the very Luciferians they are aware of and preach against.</p>
<p>Perhaps this is why I’ve not gotten a particularly warm reception from those ministries, this despite having taken the money and trouble to send copies of my book out to them.</p>
<p>I proceed with the desire to take the solid teachings of this sect and showing Adventists how to make them much, much better through freeing them from the chains of organized religion via an open examination of their own Luciferian origin.</p>
<p><strong><em>Reformed</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Counter-reformation: <em>noun;</em> coun·ter·ref·or·ma·tion \ˌkau̇n-tə(r)-ˌre-fər-ˈmā-shən\</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em><strong>1:</strong></em><em>  </em>usually <strong>Counter–Reformation</strong> <strong>:</strong>  the reform movement in the Roman Catholic Church following the Reformation</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em><strong>2</strong></em><strong>:</strong><em>  </em>a reformation designed to <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/counter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">counter</a> the effects of a previous reformation</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">~ <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/counterreformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Merriam-Webster</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>All of the top major sources of information have a completely inadequate and even deceptive definition of the Counter-Reformation.  The above is the closest and it’s still deceptive.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.britannica.com/event/Counter-Reformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Britannica puts so much effort</a> into re-writing reality it’s embarrassing; “the Counter-Reformation was a ‘Catholic Revival’ attempt to ‘reform’ Catholic ‘criticisms’ even <em>before</em> the Reformation.”</p>
<p>This should come as no surprise given that <em>all forms of popular media, both mainstream <strong>and “alternative”</strong> are completely controlled by Rome</em>.</p>
<p>Nearly 140 years ago, James Aitken Wylie wrote—</p>
<blockquote><p>When it is a Church or a nation that is to be overthrown, the battle is ordered in the same manner.  The first blow is levelled at that one great principle—for there is such in every society—which is its mainstay, and this cannot be better done than by sowing the seeds of diverse and strange doctrines.  The Sons of Loyola, now flocking to our shores, will not spare to sow such seeds.  We may not see that seed as it falls; its sowers will pass through the land at the dead hour of night; but such seed does not usually lie long under the clod, and the work of these sowers will speedily notify itself by the din—music how sweet to them—of our dissentions and wranglings, which will break out on all sides.</p>
<p>There are two institutions in especial to which the Jesuits will lay siege.  These are the Press and the Pulpit.  They will strain every nerve to possess themselves of both, and work them for their own ends.  The press of Great Britain is already manipulated by them to an extent of which the public but little dream.  Not a few newspapers have a Jesuit on their staff as editor, or “contributor,” or “reporter.”  The reporting force of the kingdom is, to a considerable extent, made up of Romanists; and the esprit de corps is such that a newspaper may, unaware to itself often, be influenced against a cause, or an individual obnoxious to Rome, although it may have no Romanist in its service.  There are names the <em>Times</em> dare not mention; there are causes, true and noble, it dare not advocate.  There are British authors as well as Irish farmers who are “Boycotted.”  The author speaks from documentary evidence when he. says, that the identical Jesuit has been traced through successive disguises in the journalism of the metropolis: now assailing violently in his own proper character of Papist; and now in the guise of a pious Methodist, whispering into the editorial ear, in oily phrase, how much he was pained by such and such an article in his columns, it was so lacking in the sweet grace of charity.  The whole English press of the world is supervised, and the word is passed round how writers, speakers, and causes are to be handled, so that everywhere its verdict may be the same, and applause or condemnation dealt out just as it may accord with the interests and wishes of Rome.<span id='easy-footnote-4-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-4-4085' title='&lt;em&gt;The Jesuits: Their Moral Maxims And Plots Against Kings, Nations, And Churches&lt;/em&gt;, J. A. Wylie, Hamilton, Adams &amp;amp; Co. Publishers, 1881, pp. 93-94'><sup>4</sup></a></span></blockquote>
<p>So allow me to give you an <em>unbiased</em> definition of the Roman Catholic “Counter-Reformation”: a military agenda of subversion, deception, lies, insurgency, assassination and coups designed to destroy the Protestant Reformation by discrediting the Holy Bible and bring all humanity back under the autocratic and tyrannical authority of Rome.  It is spearheaded by the Vatican’s most diabolical and fanatical order; the Jesuits.</p>
<p>How successful has it been?</p>
<p>—In September of last year, a Jesuit Pope addressed the American people via a joint session of Congress for the first time in United States history.  He did so in a rotunda that mimics St. Peter’s basilica, which stands opposite a massive phallic obelisk just as the one outside St. Peter’s does.</p>

<p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-OPI8]"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4090" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest.jpg" alt="roman conquest" width="1280" height="940" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest.jpg 1280w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest-150x110.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest-300x220.jpg 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest-768x564.jpg 768w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest-1024x752.jpg 1024w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest-24x18.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest-36x26.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest-48x35.jpg 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/roman-conquest-400x294.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></a></p>
<p>The first part of this agenda took place immediately; a Spanish Basque noble named Ignacio López volunteered to be the Special Forces of this effort and “Ignatius of Loyola” founded the Knights of the Virgin Mary in 1534.  Six years later, Loyola would have his order sanctioned by a Farnese Pope—Paul III—but under the more deceptive name of “the Society of Jesus”.</p>
<p>As Jesuits rose in the ranks and proved their trustworthiness in the service of the Whore of Babylon, they would eventually take <a href="http://www.reformation.org/jesuit-oath.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Oath of Induction</a>, also known as the 4<sup>th</sup> Oath, the Blood Oath or the Oath of Extreme Unction and his Superior would preface the oath by acknowledging his mission thus far—</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-OPI8]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4091" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath.jpg" alt="alberto jesuit oath" width="296" height="287" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath.jpg 296w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath-150x145.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath-24x24.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath-36x36.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/alberto-jesuit-oath-48x48.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px" /></a>My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler: among Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic, and to be a spy even among your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man.  Among the Reformers, to be a reformer; among the Huguenots, to be a Huguenot; among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other Protestants, generally to be a Protestant, and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from their pulpits, and to denounce with all the vehemence in your nature our Holy Religion and the Pope; and even to descend so low as to become a Jew among Jews, that you might be enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your Order as a faithful soldier of the Pope.</p>
<p>You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, states that were at peace, and incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other, and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace.  To take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means.</p>
<p>You have been taught your duty as a spy, to gather all statistics, facts and information in your power from every source; to ingratiate yourself into the confidence of the family circle of Protestants and heretics of every class and character, as well as that of the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, among the schools and universities, in parliaments and legislatures, and the judiciaries and councils of state, and to be all things to all men, for the Pope’s sake, whose servants we are unto death.</p></blockquote>
<p>The neophyte would confirm this and, with a dagger to his heart, held by the blade and a black crucifix in his off hand the crescendo of his oath promises—</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants’ heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race.  That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.</p></blockquote>
<p>Jesuits were then sent to the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+11%3A10-12&amp;version=MEV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4 corners of our flat Earth</a> to enact this agenda of deception and subversion.</p>
<p>The Reformers had been doing all they could to put the Word of God into the hands of common men.  A full 150 years before Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the doors of All Saints Cathedral in Wittenberg, John Wycliffe—the Morning Star of the Reformation—had translated the Scriptures into English.  His Lollard followers did all they could to transcribe the Wycliffe Bible and pass them out and many Lollards paid for it by having the Wycliffe Bible tied around their necks to be burned together at the stake.</p>

<p>These efforts were slow and easily thwarted by the viciousness of Rome.</p>
<p>All of that would change in 1439 when Johannes Guttenberg invented a printing press that used “movable type” metal inserts which dramatically sped up the printing process.  Less than 100 years later and less than 500 kilometers from Guttenberg’s home of Mainz, a young Augustinian monk named Martin Luther would fire the shot heard ‘round the world.</p>
<p>Luther’s Protest was taken by Rome the same way she took the protests of the Waldenses, John Wycliffe’s Lollards, Jan Huss, Jerome of Prague and many others; she sought to kill Luther and obliterate his following.</p>
<p>In 1521, Luther was called to stand before the Roman authorities lead by Johann Eck at the Diet of Worms.  It was demanded of the monk that he recant his charges of corruption against Rome, or else!  Knowing what lay before him, Luther stood firm; “Here I stand.  I can do no other.”</p>
<p>The Elector of Saxony, Frederick III, was aghast at Luther’s disobedience &#8230; publicly.</p>
<p>Privately, he adored the upstart priest and, on the pretense of dispensing “justice” kidnapped Luther and interred him in Wartburg castle for safe keeping.</p>
<p>They didn’t call him “Frederick the Wise” for nothing.</p>

<p>While at Wartburg, Luther (as “Junker Jörg” — a Knight named George) had a lot of time on his hands.  He put it to good use by having the new Greek and Latin translations of the Bible done by Desiderius Erasmus brought to him so that he could translate the New Testament into German, which he soon did.</p>
<p>When it was safe for him to return home, Luther then translated the Old Testament as well.</p>
<p>His followers quickly put these documents to the Guttenberg movable-type press and soon flooded the German countryside with the Word of God.</p>
<p>For the first time in her founding, Rome was hit with a threat she couldn’t stamp out or crush.  She was forced to take up a different tactic—one that was nothing less than satanic; to discredit the Bible even if it meant altering the very fabric of reality.</p>
<p>Sound incredible?  I’ll be writing more on this in the near future (Lord willing).</p>
<p><strong><em>Forgotten Failures of Freemasonic Frauds</em></strong></p>
<p>Another tactic of the Dragon and her satanic Special Forces—the Jesuits—was to seed Protestantism with apostate and heretical sects whose doctrines and leaders would be used to humiliate and discredit the movement.</p>
<p>This effort was particularly effective in the 19<sup>th</sup> century when several movements were started by Jesuits’ faux-Protestant footsoldiers; the Freemasons.</p>
<p>The connection of Freemasonry to Mormonism is so profound, Wikipedia has an entry on it.  Joseph Smith, his brother Hyrum and perhaps even their father <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_Freemasonry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">were all Freemasons</a>.  Mormonism differs so strongly from Protestant Christianity it’s considered by many to be a non-Christian cult; the “Jesus” of Mormonism not being the Jesus of Protestantism.</p>
<p>I contend these doctrinal differences are a purposeful agenda.</p>
<p>As I <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/fritz-springmeier-profile-in-a-government-trained-vatican-terrorist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted to you previously</a>—</p>
<blockquote><p>All of the early Mormon <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_Freemasonry" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>leaders were Freemasons</strong></a> and they were guided behind the scenes by <a href="https://www.nps.gov/mopi/learn/historyculture/history2.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Jesuits like Pierre-Jean de Smet</strong></a> <span id='easy-footnote-5-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-5-4085' title='Incognito Jesuit “Eric Jon Phelps” also makes this connection in his book &lt;em&gt;Vatican Assassins&lt;/em&gt; by citing the book &lt;em&gt;Black Robe&lt;/em&gt; by Brian Moore.  What Phelps &lt;em&gt;doesn’t&lt;/em&gt; mention is how &lt;em&gt;Black Robe&lt;/em&gt; is “faction”—a fictional novel based upon historical facts.  Many an author in fear of retribution for publishing have utilized “faction” to get secret information out.  Despite these questionable wrinkles, I am still comfortable connecting the dots from Brigham Young to Pierre-Jean de Smet to Albert Pike.'><sup>5</sup></a></span>
<p>The Jesuit/Mason connection is always good for murder and mayhem and it’s not a stretch to imagine Brigham Young’s friend Pierre-Jean whispering in his ear before he urged fellow Mormons to massacre an innocent wagon train full of men, women and children <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_massacre" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>at Mountain Meadows, Utah</strong></a>.</p>
<p>When you realize that the Jesuits were behind the attacks on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Trade Center and the Pentagon</strong></a>, it’s not so surprising to find that the Mountain Meadows massacre occurred on September 11<sup>th</sup>, 1857.</p></blockquote>
<p>In his teaching titled “The New Age Agenda” Professor Walter Veith notes that all of the early astronauts were either Mormons or Masons (given the connection between Mormonism and Freemasonry it’s basically the same thing).</p>
<p>This is one of Professor Veith’s best teachings.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="1080" height="810" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P-8-teAlZsE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>What Professor Walt fails to follow with is <em>why</em> the early astronauts were either Mormons or Masons: because space travel is impossible.  It is part of the elaborate Roman re-write of our reality designed to discredit Scripture.</p>
<p>Professor Walt is blind to some other connections even more devastating to Adventism but we’ll get to that in a moment.</p>
<p>Another offshoot of “Protestant Christianity” are the Jehovah’s Witnesses—they’re actually an offshoot of the founder of the Adventists!</p>
<p>There is much controversy over whether founder Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason (they buried the connections deep under a pyramid).  But with the help of author Fritz Springmeier <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/fritz-springmeier-profile-in-a-government-trained-vatican-terrorist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">we see connections</a> to Russell’s beliefs, family and even repeated close geographic proximity to Freemasonry and Freemasonic “Temples”.</p>
<p>Too bad we also see that Fritz Springmeier is actually Victor Earl Schoof, <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/fritz-springmeier-profile-in-a-government-trained-vatican-terrorist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">government-trained domestic terrorist for Rome</a> and one that used the nefarious origins of the Jehovah’s Witnesses to slander all of Protestantism—just like the Counter-Reformation wanted him to.</p>
<p>It is fascinating to note that, just before his death, Russell exhibited some extremely unusual behavior <a href="http://www.heraldmag.org/olb/contents/history/bio%20ctr.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as was noted by</a> his future replacement, Joseph Franklin Rutherford—</p>
<blockquote><p>A few weeks ago he started on a trip to the Pacific Coast, preaching every evening, and traveling throughout the remainder of the night and of the day.  His last sermon he preached to the Congregation at Los Angeles; and being too weak to stand, he sat throughout the discourse.  He left Los Angeles Sunday evening on his return to Brooklyn, and rapidly grew weaker.  Seven hours before his death, addressing his traveling companion, Brother Menta Sturgeon, he said, “Make me a Roman toga.”</p>
<p>Using the bed sheets, Brother Sturgeon made a toga, which Brother Russell put on himself.  He stood erect for a moment, and then lying down on the couch in his Pullman drawing room, closed his eyes, thus in symbolic language speaking of death.  A great deal of the Bible is written in symbolic language, and it was quite appropriate that he should speak his last message in symbols.  It is interesting here to know what a Roman toga symbolizes: Augustus’ Poet Laureate, said, “It is by the toga that the royal nation is recognized.”</p></blockquote>
<p>It is absolutely “appropriate” for the founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses to die “in symbols”—particularly the symbols of <em>Rome</em>.</p>
<p>Let me agree again; it <em>is</em> “by the toga” that the power who rules behind the scenes “is recognized.”</p>
<p><strong><em>Buh-Bahá&#8217;í</em></strong></p>
<p>The Bahá&#8217;í religion was founded by Báb Ali Muhammad Shirāzi via a declaration he made in 1844—an important date and smack in the middle of this era of creating off-shoot cults.</p>
<p>Bahá&#8217;í is an Iranian monotheistic religion that prizes “unity” above all and seeks to unify all religions and peoples.  Does that sound like the agenda of another religion?</p>

<p>Shaykhism is an apocalyptic/messianic offshoot of Shi&#8217;a Islam that is <a href="http://www.bahaiawareness.com/bab01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considered to be the forerunner</a> to Bahá&#8217;í.  There is an interesting note regarding the successor of “Mahdi” Sayyid Kazim:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Successorship</strong></p>
<p>On the death of Sayyid Kazim on 31 December 1843, some Shaykhis went on to become Babis, some of whom later became Bahais, and the rest split into three factions. It is reported that before dying, instead of appointing a successor, he sent his disciples out to find the Promised One. One of his most noted followers, Mullá Husayn said:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Our departed teacher insistently exhorted us to forsake our homes, to scatter far and wide, in quest of the promised Beloved&#8230;  Regarding the features of the Promised One, he told us that He is of a pure lineage, is of illustrious descent, and of the seed of Fatimah.  As to His age, He is more than twenty and less than thirty.  He is endowed with innate knowledge.  He is of medium height, abstains from smoking, and is free from bodily deficiency.”<span id='easy-footnote-6-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-6-4085' title='quoted in Nabil-i-A´zam’s &lt;em&gt;The Dawn-Breakers, or Nabil’s Narrative, translated by Shoghi Effendi, p. 57&lt;/em&gt;'><sup>6</sup></a></span>
<p>In 1844 Mullá Husayn, after meeting the Siyyid `Alí-Muhammad (the Báb) in Shiraz accepted him as the Mahdi. ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazim_Rashti" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Fatimah plays a key role in Shi&#8217;a Islam:</p>
<blockquote><p>According to Shi’a and non-Muslim scholars, Fatima Zahra was Muhammad’s only daughter.<sup>[1]</sup>  The Sunni belief that he had other daughters by Khadijah denies Ali ibn Abu Talib the distinction of being Muhammad’s only son-in-law.  She is held in highest of esteem, as being the single most ideal example for all women; in terms of her purity and the eventual martyrdom of her son, she is considered to be the Muslim counterpart to the Christian Mary, mother of Jesus; indeed, one of her names is <em>Maryam al-Kubrá</em>, or “the greater Mary”.<sup>[2]</sup> ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shia_view_of_Fatimah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>If you’ve seen the name before in Catholic circles, here’s why:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Apparition Apprehensions</em></p>
<p>In 1916, three Portuguese children were herding sheep when an angel appeared to them on multiple occasions at <em>Cova da Iria </em>(“Irene’s Cove”) just outside of Fátima.  Lucia dos Santos was 9 and her cousin Francisco Marto was 8.  Francisco’s sister, Jacinta Marto, was 6.  The angel taught them how to pray1722 and “sacrifice” on behalf of sinners.1723 &#8230;</p>
<p>Despite their claims, they were ridiculed by some and the apparition they saw promised to give them powerful prophecies on the 13th of the month, in October of 1917.</p>
<p>Between May and October of 1917, always on the 13th of the month, the children received three secrets.  Lucia eventually disclosed them from the Convent where she became a nun.  Francisco and Jacinta died just a few short years later in the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918-20.</p>
<p>It is important to note that October 13th 1307 is established by the Luciferian Elite as the day Pope Clement V collaborated with France’s King Philip IV and suppressed the Vatican Treasury guardians—the Knights Templar.1725</p>
<p>There are many questions surrounding the apparition at Fátima.  Why would it choose a location so easily identified by muslims?</p>
<p>Is the apparition of Fátima a cunningly-divined hoax for the political power of uniting Catholicism with Islam?</p>
<p>Only the children saw “Mary”, even during the October event in 1917.  Two of them died shortly thereafter and the third was controlled from a convent.  She even admits she was directed to reveal what she saw by Catholic authorities. ~ <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Illuminati Unmasked</em></a> <span id='easy-footnote-7-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-7-4085' title='&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Illuminati Unmasked&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Johnny Cirucci, CreateSpace (2015), pp. 662, 663, 669'><sup>7</sup></a></span></blockquote>
<p>Ex-Jesuit priest <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/archived-news/ex-jesuit-priest-alberto-rivera-reveals-how-the-vatican-created-islam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alberto Rivera contended</a> that both Islam and Fátima/Fatimah were heavily manipulated from the very beginning for Rome to wield the Scimtar of Islam, which makes it even more disturbing to see how she does this while hiding behind the “Shield of David”.</p>
<p>There are other indicators of a Freemasonic founding of Bahá&#8217;í such as the Luciferian/gnostic symbolism like Bahai’s 9-pointed star. [Trying to make “Bahá&#8217;í” possessive was just a bridge too far.]
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-OPI8]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4096" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star.jpg" alt="Bahá'í star" width="180" height="182" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star.jpg 180w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star-148x150.jpg 148w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star-100x100.jpg 100w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star-24x24.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star-36x36.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Baháí-star-48x48.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px" /></a>Nine-Pointed Star</strong></p>
<p>According to the Abjad system of Isopsephy, the word Bahá’ has a numerical equivalence of 9, and thus there is frequent use of the number 9 in Bahá’í symbols.<sup>[8]</sup>  The most commonly used symbol connected to the number 9 is the <em>nine-pointed star</em>&#8230;  While the star is not a part of the teachings of the Bahá’í Faith, it is commonly used as an emblem representing “9”, because of the association of number 9 with perfection, unity and Bahá’.</p>
<p>The number 9 also comes up several times in Bahá’í history and teachings. On the significance of the number 9, Shoghi Effendi wrote:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Concerning the number nine: the Bahá’ís reverence this for two reasons, first because it is considered by those interested in numbers as the sign of perfection. The second consideration, which is the more important one, is that it is the numerical value of the word “Bahá’”…<br />
“Besides these two significances the number nine has no other meaning. It is, however, enough to make the Bahá’ís use it when an arbitrary number is to be chosen.”<sup>[12]</sup></p>
<p>Its use on gravestone markers was approved by Shoghi Effendi, then head of the religion, in 1944.<sup>[13]</sup> ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%27%C3%AD_symbols#Nine-pointed_star" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Nine is, indeed, a number of “completion” &#8230; <a href="http://www.elecbk.com/numerology.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to Freemasons</a> [WARNING: clicking on that link then clicking on “Home” put me in a pop-up spam loop.]—</p>
<blockquote><p>NINE: Nine is a number representing wholeness and completion as expressed in the Royal Arch, one of whose meanings is the Vault of Heaven, and therefore is especially significant.</p>
<p>Possible references include: Three times three; three plus three plus three.</p>

A:  By three times three.</p>

<p>the nonagon (nine-sided figure).  This is a primary figure of ritual in this degree. It contains within it, successively, a pentagon, a triangle and a circle.</p>
<p>Other connotations include: the High Priest (First of Nine); Joshua.</p></blockquote>
<p>If the above 9-pointed star looks a lot like the so-called “Star of David” just with an extra triangle jammed in, that’s because it is.</p>
<p>The 6-pointed star is a gnostic, pagan/demonic symbol used to invoke sex magick (joining two pubic areas) as well as to symbolize the Luciferian mocking desire for “as above, so below”.</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>Bahá&#8217;í Ties To Freemasonry</strong></p>
<p>Iranian critics of this faith have also accused the Bahá&#8217;í Faith of having ties to Freemasonry.  As Freemasonry was a secretive society originating from the West, many in Iran connected the movement with the introduction of foreign ideas into the country in order to undermine Iranian values. Claims were made that many of the earliest Freemason lodges, such as Malkom Khan&#8217;s <em>faramush-khanih</em>, which were founded in 1858, were linked to European lodges.  However, Freemasonry was brought to Iran by Iranians who had seen the movement in other parts of the world.</p>
<p>Specific accusations connecting the Bahá&#8217;í Faith to Freemasonry often include an assertion that Dr. Dhabih Qurban, who was a well-known Bahá&#8217;í, was also a freemason.  This assertion is based on an Iranian book publishing documents related to Freemasonry in the country; that book states that in specific pages of Fazel Mazandarani&#8217;s book on the Bahá&#8217;í Faith there are statements that Dr. Dhabih Qurban is a Freemason, but in fact Freemasony is not mentioned in the pages of the referenced Bahá&#8217;í book.  Furthermore, the Iranian book that is the source of the accusation includes a discussion between the Grand Master of the Great Lodge in Iran, and the Grand Master notes that “no Bahá&#8217;ís have become masons and this is repeated by others present with no-one disagreeing.”</p>
<p>The teachings of the Baha&#8217;i Faith expressly forbid membership in secret societies.  Shoghi Effendi, the guardian of the Bahá&#8217;í Faith, asked all Bahá&#8217;ís to remove their memberships from all secret societies, including the Freemasons, so that they can serve the teachings of the Bahá&#8217;í Faith without compromising their independence.</p></blockquote>
<p>The Bahá&#8217;í prohibition against joining Freemasonry sounds suspiciously like the supposed war against the Masons waged by Rome—something I prove to the contrary <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in my book</a>.</p>
<p>The Bahai Insider blog seems to have <a href="https://thebahaiinsider.com/2015/01/11/abdul-baha-asks-manchester-bahais-to-conceal-their-beliefs-and-act-like-freemasons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a little bit more to go</a> on than the erased section from Wikipedia’s <em>Political objections to the Baha&#8217;i Faith</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Dr. Dhabih Qurban, was a well-known Iranian Bahá’í and also a Freemason.  Moojan Momen tried to refute that no Baha’is were linked to the Freemasonry but his refutation with poor references has no value as the prominent Iranian Historian Abdollah Shahbazi has given numerous references that not only Dhabih Qurban but many other Baha’is were also active Freemasons. ~ <em><a href="https://thebahaiinsider.com/2015/01/11/abdul-baha-asks-manchester-bahais-to-conceal-their-beliefs-and-act-like-freemasons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abdul Baha asks Manchester Baha’is to conceal their beliefs and act like Freemasons!</a></em> Bahai Insider</p></blockquote>

<p><strong><em>A Warning To My Adventist Brethren</em></strong></p>
<p>I’ve saved the best for last.</p>
<p>On “the first Sabbath in August, 1833”, a Baptist preacher named William Miller began to speak out on how he had calculated the near-return of Jesus Christ based upon a shockingly flawed and deceptive interpretation of Daniel 8:14.</p>
<p>Daniel Chapter 8 is a vision that the Prophet Daniel was given regarding the kingdoms of Medo/Persia and Greece—we don’t have to wonder about this because the latter half of the chapter is the Archangel Gabriel explaining this to Daniel!</p>
<p>It is a difficult passage that states the span of time between the ceasing of sacrifices and the cleansing of the Temple would be two thousand, three hundred “days”—but, more accurately, “evenings and mornings” which is the Hebrew reckoning for a “day” that may not mean exact days.</p>
<p>One possible interpretation is that, due to the Mosaic practice of conducting a morning and evening sacrifice, the actual days should be half the prediction.  If that were the case, the span between Antiochus Epiphanes’ desecration of the Temple and its restoration under the Maccabees of <a href="http://www.moellerhaus.com/2300.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">167 to 164 B.C. does work</a>.</p>
<p>Even here there are problems because other passages connect the “little horn” with the office of the Papacy while Daniel 8:10-11 states that the little horn trampled under a number of the stars of Heaven (angels?) and magnified himself to the level of the Prince of Heaven (the Son of God?).  In verse 13 he tramples truth, itself!  That verse speaks to us today in ways that will rock your world.</p>
<p>There is no easy way to understand this passage, even with Gabriel’s help but that’s another rub; Gabriel is the herald of Jesus Christ yet there doesn’t seem to be an obvious connection to Christ in this prophecy—perhaps there actually is and it remains to be brought out.</p>
<p>One thing is sure; William Miller’s interpretation was <em>way</em> off:</p>
<blockquote><p>Basing his calculations principally on Daniel 8:14: “Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed”, Miller assumed that the <em>cleansing of the sanctuary</em> represented the Earth’s purification by fire at Christ’s Second Coming.  Then, using the interpretive principle of the “day-year principle”, Miller (and others) interpreted a <em>day in prophecy</em> to read not as a 24-hour period, but rather as a calendar year.  Further, Miller became convinced that the 2,300 day period started in 457 BC with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem by Artaxerxes I of Persia.  Simple calculation then revealed that this period would end in 1843.  Miller records, “I was thus brought&#8230; to the solemn conclusion, that in about twenty-five years from that time 1818 all the affairs of our present state would be wound up.”<sup>[8]</sup> ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Miller_(preacher)#Religious_views" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Although use of the day/year principle of prophecy interpretation is sound (and is actually <em>critical</em> in understanding Daniel 7:25 to speak of the Papacy rolling into her control of the United States—the Beast of the Land in Revelation 13) it simply doesn’t work under these parameters.</p>
<p>As the expected time of Christ’s Return came about, Millerites (early Adventists) went to all extremes in preparation for seeing their Savior; many sold all they had.  They were devastated when Jesus failed to appear.</p>
<blockquote><p>This dashed hope came to be known as “The Great Disappointment.”  In his book <em>When Time Shall Be No More,</em> historian Paul Boyer offers an example of the deep despondency suffered by the Millerites.  In the words of one tragically disappointed believer: “Our fondest hopes and expectations were blasted, and such a spirit of weeping came over us as I never experienced before….  We wept, and wept, till the day dawned” (page 81).</p>
<p>When Jesus did not return as expected, many who had hopefully waited for the return of their Savior threw off their faith completely.  Some refused to give up their hope and eventually replaced one delusion with another.  They would claim that Christ must have come invisibly in 1844, moving into the Holy of Holies in heaven to begin his “investigative judgment” of Christian lives.</p>
<p>Many simply returned to the churches out of which they had come, no doubt confused, distraught and embarrassed to have accepted something that was revealed to have been an empty fantasy.  Miller, having renounced his prophecy studies after the Great Disappointment, died in 1849.  Any remaining followers split up over differences of belief and doctrine.  Ultimately, a variety of groups arose from the ashes of the Millerite camp, including the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Seventh-day Adventists.</p>
<p>Actually, the October 1844 debacle was the <em>second</em> great disappointment for followers of Miller’s chronology and prophecy blueprint.  He had previously announced that the coming of Jesus Christ would occur in about the year 1843.  The year came and went without Christ’s return.  Miller’s prophetic claim had failed and disappointed many people.</p>
<p>Then someone pointed out that he had neglected to take into account the transition from B.C. to A.D., so that his calculations were one year off.  Miller then moved the expected return of Jesus forward by one year, this time to Oct.  22, 1844.  But the great disappointment happened once again to the thousands of followers who had given away their possessions and waited in expectant belief — for nothing.  ~ <a href="https://www.gci.org/history/disappointment" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Great Disappointment</em></a>, Grace Communion International</p></blockquote>
<p>The disappointment of 1843 wasn’t devastating enough, it was contrived that computing the carry over from B.C. to A.D. required one <em>add</em> a year to humiliate Christians again?!  A true reckoning of the cross over from B.C. to A.D. <em>subtracts</em> a year because there is no “year 0”.</p>
<p>Not only are Jehovah’s Witnesses connected to this debacle, but Baháis is as well!</p>
<p>When it was clear that Miller was wrong, key Baháis ran to claim that the Báb was Christ returned in 1844.</p>
<blockquote><p>Members of the Bahá&#8217;í Faith believe that Miller’s interpretation of signs and dates of the coming of Jesus were, for the most part, correct.<sup>[15]</sup>  They believe that the fulfillment of biblical prophecies of the coming of Christ came through a forerunner of their own religion, the Báb, who declared that he was the “Promised One” on May 23, 1844, and began openly teaching in Persia in October 1844.<sup>[16]</sup><sup>[17]</sup>  Several Bahá&#8217;í books and pamphlets make mention of the Millerites, the prophecies used by Miller and the Great Disappointment, most notably William Sears’ <em>Thief in the Night</em>.<sup>[18]</sup><sup>[19]</sup><sup>[20]</sup> ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Disappointment#Validity_in_Bah.C3.A1.27.C3.AD_Faith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>There are entire <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Shall-Come-Again-Hushidar-Motlagh/dp/0937661015" target="_blank" rel="noopener">books written on validating</a> this embarrassment from muslim and Bahá&#8217;í <a href="http://apocalypsesecrets.com/content/1844-ends-cycle-prophecy-and-opens-cycle-fulfillment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authors trying to cover</a> for William Miller&#8230;why?</p>
<p>—Because William Miller was a Freemason.</p>
<p>Miller <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Miller_(preacher)#Miller_and_Freemasonry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“resigned” in 1831</a> but this was long after he, himself, admits he received the interpretive “vision” of Daniel 8:14.</p>
<p>Looking for hints of Freemasonry (such as using the term “Brother” as a title) in William Miller’s biography, I came across the attempt to excuse his humiliating failure as something he was just <em>tortured</em> to do—</p>
<blockquote><p>Mr. Miller succeeded in the accomplishment of his wishes, assisting according to his ability and known liberality.</p>
<p>He continued to make the Bible his daily study, and became more and more convinced that he had a personal duty to perform respecting what he conceived the Bible to teach of the nearness of the Advent [the Return of Jesus Christ].  These impressions he thus describes:</p>
<p>“When I was about my business, it was continually ringing in my ears, ‘Go and tell the world of their danger.’” &#8230;</p>
<p>“I prayed that some minister might see the truth, and devote himself to its promulgation; but still it was impressed upon me, ‘Go and tell it to the world: their blood will I require at thy hand.’”</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">[I find it odd that the Lord would communicate in Old English.]
<blockquote><p>“‘The more I presented it in conversation, the more dissatisfied I felt with myself for withholding it from the public.  I tried to excuse myself to the Lord for not going out and proclaiming it to the world.  I told the Lord that I was not used to public speaking; that I had not the necessary qualifications to gain the attention of an audience; that I was very diffident, and feared to go before the world; that they would ‘not believe me nor hearken to my voice;’ that I was ‘slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.’  But I could get no relief.”</p>
<p>In this way he struggled on for nine years longer, pursuing the study of the Bible, doing all he could to present the nearness of Christ’s coming to those whom circumstances threw in his way; but resisting the impressions of duty to go out as a public teacher.  He was then fifty years old, and it seemed impossible for him to surmount the obstacle which lay in his path, to successfully present it in a public manner.</p></blockquote>
<p>Interestingly, this inability to speak powerfully in public (likened, not for lack of cheek, to Moses, himself) didn’t slow him from gaining power and prestige&#8230;exactly what one would expect from a Luciferian Freemason favorite.</p>
<blockquote><p>His freedom to convene on the subject, and the ability with which he was able to defend his own views, and oppose those differing from him, had given him no little celebrity in his denomination in all that region; and some were rather shy in approaching him.  Elder T. [Truman<span id='easy-footnote-9-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-9-4085' title='I would love to know why folks in the 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century (Adventists, especially) used initials for names.  I can tell you, finding who these people are ain’t easy—you’re blessed I’m obsessive-compulsive.  My wife—not so much.'><sup>9</sup></a></span>] Hendryx, a Baptist clergyman now in the State of Pennsylvania, who has kindly furnished the biographer with many original letters from Mr. Miller, thus speaks of his first acquaintance with him:</p>
<p>“My first acquaintance with Brother Miller was in the summer of 1881.  I had been requested to visit the Baptist church in Hampton, and concluded to go.” ~ <em>Memoirs of William Miller</em> by Sylvester Bliss, published by Joshua V. Himes, 1853, Boston, pp. 92-93</p></blockquote>
<p>—And then there’s “<em>Brother</em> Miller”, titled as such like the good Freemason he was.  Of course we’re to take, “<em>Brother</em>” Hendryx in 19<sup>th</sup> century Adventist speak but, sadly, it’s actually the same.</p>
<p>Here are important things to take into consideration regarding what could have been going on behind the scenes:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* the Jesuits are <em>experts</em> in Bible prophecy and even more adept at warping it to cover their tracks<br />
* the day/year principle <a href="http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/the-beasts-of-daniel-and-revelation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outs Rome as the Whore of Babylon</a> the very Chapter before; the misapplication casts doubt on <em>all</em> applications<br />
* Miller claimed to be a Baptist; a sect very high on the Jesuit hit-list</p>
<p>One would’ve thought that this humiliation would’ve been the death nell for the Millerites but with strange contortions of 1844 being “<a href="http://1844madesimple.org/biblical-parallels-to-judgment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investigative Judgment</a>”, they carried on.  Again we must ask, “Why?”  Was there so much of value in what was left of the Millerite movement or was it a vehicle that the Puppet Masters wanted to continue to ride out?</p>
<p>One man who stayed after “The Great Disappointment” was James Springer White.</p>
<p>White met and married a young woman a year later, in 1845, and built the rest of the Seventh Day Adventist movement on her writings and visions—Ellen Gould Harmon, who then became Ellen G. White.</p>
<p>Ellen G. White is so highly venerated by Adventists it approaches the same Semiramis / Isis / “Mary” cult of Babylon / Egypt / Rome that they so effectively preach against.  The Banner at the top of the <a href="http://www.connectingwithjesus.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official web site</a> of the Ellen White Estate is shocking.</p>

<p>It could easily have come from any Roman Catholic domain.</p>
<p><strong><em>Un-real</em></strong></p>
<p>The Jesuits and their Freemasonic henchmen have been busy from the beginning discrediting the Word of God with a literal re-write of our reality; just as Gabriel predicted to Daniel, “truth has been trampled upon”!</p>
<p>Darwin, dinosaurs, space travel, spinning globe Earth—all have been shockingly woven from the Reformation to this day and, sadly, the writings and “visions” of Ellen White contribute to it—despite her excellent warnings about Rome (perhaps <em>because</em> of them).</p>
<p>Do Adventists have such clear vision regarding the Fourth and Final Beast because the Beast gave that information to them to sweeten their Luciferian founding and resulting disinformation like the ability to visit other planets?</p>
<p>In the same way that NASA “astronaut” Mark Kelly handles his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, after the brain injury she received during the <a href="http://www.thegovernmentrag.com/how-nasa-navy-aided-in-trading-americans-guns-for-technology-and-littoral-ships.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">false flag of the Tucson mass shooting</a>, it appears James Springer White “handled” Ellen to insure the best and worst information was circulated starting with a coverup of “the Great Disappointment” and rolling into space travel.</p>
<blockquote><p>It is well known that many were expecting the Lord to come at the 7<sup>th</sup> month, 1845.  That Christ would then come we firmly believed.  A few days before the time passed, I was at Fairhaven, and Dartmouth Mass., with a message on this point of time.  At this time, Ellen was with the band at Carver, Mass., where she saw in vision, that we should be disappointed, and that the saints must pass through the “time of Jacob’s trouble,” which was future.  Her view of Jacob’s trouble was entirely new to us, as well as herself.  At our conference in Topsham, Maine, last Nov., Ellen had a vision of the handy works of God.  She was guided to the planets Jupiter, Saturn, and I think one more.  After she came out of vision, she could give a clear description of their Moons, etc.  It is well known, that she knew nothing of astronomy, and could not answer one question in relation to the planets, before she had this vision. {1847 JW, WLF 22.6} ~ <em>A Word to the Little Flock</em>, James White<span id='easy-footnote-10-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-10-4085' title='Although the careful cataloguing of Ellen White’s voluminous works &lt;a href=&quot;http://whiteestate.org/books/abrevlist.asp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;by her estate&lt;/a&gt; is helpful, the specialized numbering of each document and the way Adventists reference them by their numbers leaves me more than disquieted regarding her role to them.'><sup>10</sup></a></span></blockquote>
<p>A more controversial example (but one catalogued by the Ellen White Estate) was that of Miss Marion Concordia Stowell Truesdail (whose married name was Crawford).  After being a present during a vision Ellen states she had, Miss Truesdail later recounted it—</p>
<blockquote><p>“Sister White was in very feeble health, and while prayers were offered in her behalf, the Spirit of God rested upon us.  We soon noticed that she was insensible to earthly things.  This was her first view of the planetary world.  After counting aloud the moons of Jupiter, and soon after those of Saturn, she gave a beautiful description of the rings of the latter.  She then said, ‘The inhabitants are a tall, majestic people, so unlike the inhabitants of earth.  Sin has never entered here.’  It was evident from Brother Bates’s smiling face that his past doubts in regard to the source of her visions were fast leaving him.  We all knew that Captain Bates was a great lover of astronomy, as he would often locate many of the heavenly bodies for our instruction.  When Sister White replied to his questions, after the vision, saying that she had never studied or otherwise received knowledge in this direction, he was filled with joy and happiness.  He praised God, and expressed his belief that this vision concerning the planets was given that he might never again doubt.” {EGWC 93.4} ~ <a href="http://text.egwwritings.org/publication.php?pubtype=Book&amp;bookCode=EGWC&amp;pagenumber=93&amp;paragraphReferences=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Ellen G. White And Her Critics</em></a>, p. 93</p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Jehovah’s Whitenesses: The Eye And The Obelisk</em></strong></p>
<p>Jehovah’s Witnesses, after having been birthed by the Millerite movement, managed to put out their <a href="http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/failed-1914-predictions.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">own failed prophecies</a> to humiliate Christians with (their reputation for being a cult, notwithstanding).</p>
<p>Another odd, disturbing, parallel between Adventists and Witnesses is the idea that the Archangel <a href="http://www.catholic.com/quickquestions/is-it-true-jehovah39s-witnesses-believe-that-michael-the-archangel-and-jesus-are-the-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael is a theophany</a> <span id='easy-footnote-11-4085' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-jesuit-created-freemasonic-frauds-of-religion/#easy-footnote-bottom-11-4085' title='I was really concerned about using a Roman Catholic apologetic site on this topic but, after careful examination, I judged the site to be sound!  We call this “discernment”.  ; )'><sup>11</sup></a></span> of Jesus Christ.  This doctrine is ridiculous in light of Michael’s mention in the New Testament [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude+9&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jude 9</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+12%3A7-8&amp;version=MEV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Revelation 12:7</a>], after the Incarnation of Christ yet both sects still cling to this belief.  Knowing what I know of the Luciferians, I trace this heresy to the idea that Lucifer is too powerful to be handled by anything less than the Son of God, Himself.  This is most assuredly <em>not</em> the case and not Scriptural.</p>
<p>In her writings, Ellen White made mention of the “all-seeing eye” of God which has no place in the Word of God but is quite prominent in Luciferian, gnostic and Freemasonic writing as Lucifer is the great voyeur who secretly watches.</p>
<blockquote><p>There is need of each one in every school and in every institution to be as was Daniel—in such close connection with the Source of all wisdom that his powers will enable him to reach the highest standard of his duties in every line, that he may be able to fulfill his scholastic requirements, not only under able teachers, but also under the supervision of heavenly intelligences, knowing that the all-seeing, the ever sleepless Eye is upon him. {SpM 75.2} ~ <a href="http://text.egwwritings.org/publication.php?pubtype=Book&amp;bookCode=SpM&amp;lang=en&amp;pagenumber=75&amp;m=1&amp;paragraphReferences=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Spalding and Magan Collection</em></a>, p. 75</p></blockquote>
<hr />
<blockquote><p>“Ever seek to exert a good influence, that God may approve of your works.  Remember you are forming a character for heaven or for destruction.  Oh, that you may form a good Christian character!  You are daily stamping a record of your life by your course of action here.  Let all your acts be such that you would not be ashamed to meet them in the judgment.  God’s eye never slumbers or sleeps.  This all-seeing eye is ever upon you.” {3MR 52.1} ~ <a href="https://text.egwwritings.org/publication.php?pubtype=Book&amp;bookCode=3MR&amp;pagenumber=52" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Manuscript Releases</em></a>, Vol. 3 [Nos. 162-209], p. 52</p></blockquote>
<hr />
<blockquote><p>I saw that before the work of God can make any decided progress, the ministers must be converted. &#8230; A faithful record of all their works is daily made by the recording angels.  All their acts, and even the intents and purposes of the heart, stand faithfully revealed.  Nothing is hid from the all-seeing eye of Him with whom we have to do. {1T 468.1} ~ <a href="http://text.egwwritings.org/publication.php?pubtype=Book&amp;bookCode=1T&amp;pagenumber=468" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Testimonies For The Church</em></a>, Vol. 1, p. 468</p></blockquote>
<p>The grave of Charles Taze Russell is marked by a massive pyramid decorated with the Templar cross-in-crown surrounded by Roman laurels on each side.</p>

<p>Similarly, it has been noted that James Springer White had an obelisk mark his grave and that another marks Ellen’s.</p>
<p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white.png" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-OPI8]"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4105" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white.png" alt="obelisks of james and ellen white" width="1560" height="771" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white.png 1560w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-150x74.png 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-300x148.png 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-768x380.png 768w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-1024x506.png 1024w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-24x12.png 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-36x18.png 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-48x24.png 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/obelisks-of-james-and-ellen-white-400x198.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px" /></a></p>
<p>As <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I note in my book</a>, these obelisks are the phallus of Osiris—not very appropriate on the grave of a Christian prophetess and her husband.</p>
<p><strong><em>The Creator Gets A Vote</em></strong></p>
<p>As <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/fritz-springmeier-profile-in-a-government-trained-vatican-terrorist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I told you before</a>, military tacticians are taught “the enemy gets a vote” before plans are acted upon.</p>
<p>Despite these troubling aspects regarding the Seventh Day Adventist sect, I do not consider them a cult.  In fact, I consider Adventists—their Luciferian founding and bad doctrines included—to have been chosen by YHWH to carry the vessel of His Truth through this very Counter-Reformation PSYOP to today!</p>
<p>The Adventists are the last true Protestants and their teaching on Rome, Futurism, Preterism, the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, Dispensationalism and Zionism are peerlessly accurate.  That’s why Jesuit-trained and managed Bill Clinton targeted the <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/the-clinton-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Branch Davidians for slaughter</a>.</p>
<p>In the way that the gallows Haman built for Mordechai eventually executed him and his entire family, the Roman Luciferians were too smart by half when they created the Milleriate movement to humiliate Christians with.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who hasn’t been approached by the two clean-cut nice young men, knocking on your door, eager to talk to you about “the Church of Latter-Day Saints”?  In an age where two young males banging on your door strikes fear into the hearts of most Americans, it is refreshing even if it’s a tad uncomfortable.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-glgE]"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-2916 aligncenter" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys.jpg" alt="Two Nice Boys" width="500" height="356" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys.jpg 500w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-150x107.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-300x214.jpg 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-24x17.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-36x26.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-48x34.jpg 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Two-Nice-Boys-400x285.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>In 2008, I wasn’t interested in the radical differences between Mormonism and my Evangelical Christian Faith.  I was fixated on the clear and present danger posed by Barack Obama as he ran against one of the worst choices I could imagine the Republican Party putting up against him in Senator John McCain.  Not only did McCain have a record of betraying even the moderately “conservative” George Bush on vital issues like <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/223431/mccain-and-gang-14/andrew-c-mccarthy">ratifying judicial nominations</a> or stumping for continued <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2008/01/45420/">illegal immigration to the point of <em>lying</em> about it</a>, it didn’t even <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/27/cunningham.mccain/index.html?iref=24hours">appear as if he <em>wanted</em> to win</a>!  It gave “conspiracy theorists” endless fodder about how “rigged” the game was when considering that one of McCain’s top advisors was an <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0612/77390.html">Obamaboy</a> who made an ugly public resignation because <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/21/world/americas/21iht-21consult.13071140.html">he just doesn’t want to hurt McCain’s opponent</a>!</p>
<p>So I swallowed my pride and cast a vote for the Man from Massachusetts.  I had made a calculated decision based upon what I perceived was a balance between his minimum acceptable dedication to my values and his ability to win in the general election.  And boy was my throat sore!  From <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/220565/romney-second-amendment-killer/dave-kopel">protecting the Second Amendment</a> to <a href="http://www.redstate.com/erick/2011/12/30/mitt-romney-didnt-just-give-planned-parenthood-money-he-gave-them-extra-power/">safeguarding the unborn</a>, ole’ Mitt was a mess!</p>
<p>But thanks to some <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/31/us/politics/31cnd-campaign.html?pagewanted=all">backroom back-stabbing</a> from the “Christian” who’s <a href="http://www.edmondsun.com/local/x914503236/Huckabee-criticizes-health-care-plans">changed waist sizes</a> more than Oprah Winfrey (<a href="http://herescope.blogspot.com/2007/11/oprah-and-friends-to-teach-course-on.html">who <em>isn’t</em> a Christian</a>)—Mike Huckabee—Romney ran aground.</p>
<p>Since then, I’ve had some time to more thoroughly vet Mitt’s Mormon methodology and there may be some issues that even give secularists pause.  I think it is fair to say that, at least <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/29/mitt-romney-mormon-bishop_n_1386592.html">earlier in his life</a>, Romney took his faith <em>very</em> seriously and almost certainly still does.</p>
<p>I can do no better than the eldest daughter of <a href="http://www.waltermartin.com/about.html">“Bible Answer-Man” Walter Martin—Jill Martin Rische</a>—who posted <a href="http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/print.php?&amp;ArticleID=1588">several disconcerting</a> but <a href="http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/print.php?&amp;ArticleID=1656">well-documented summaries</a> of Mormon beliefs: such as how Mormons become gods and goddesses but yet the “goddesses” still spend eternal submission to their husband while forever giving birth to spirit-babies within their celestial harem, and other such interesting ideas.</p>
<p>But the truly disturbing connecting I found wasn’t between Mormons and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%ABlism">Raelians</a>, it was between Joseph Smith and Muhammad.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Cults-The-Walter-Martin/dp/0764228218/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1342115926&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=The+Kingdom+of+the+Cults">Bible Answer-Man has noted several oddities</a> in the Book of Mormon such as over 25,000 plagiarized words from the King James Bible (available handily in Joseph Smith’s time but not very accessible during the supposed “inspiration” of the book ages before), or that Jews brought horses and elephants to the New World before Columbus was a gleam in his daddy’s eye.</p>
<p>Muhammad, on the other hand, couldn’t keep <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090906025512AALUkqV">Miriam the sister of Moses straight with Miriam the mother of Jesus</a>.  The confusing labyrinth we know as the Quran contains many more twists such as who the first muslim was (Muhammad [Surah 6:14], Moses [7:143] or Abraham [2:127-133]) or is it even possible to <em>see</em> the most merciful Allah (Surah 53:1-18 says “yes” but 6:102-103 says “no”).</p>
<p>Seeing the power brought by the Hebrew religion, Smith appropriated much of its trappings, calling non-believers “Gentiles” and labeling his place of worship a “temple” but it was his propensity for using polygamy as a cover for lust that brought him the most notoriety:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>In identifying 33 well-documented wives of Smith — other researchers have placed the figure as high as 48 — </em>[author Todd] <em>Compton found that in the case of 11 women, Smith’s polygamy was polyandrous.  That is, the women were married and cohabiting with their husbands, who mostly were faithful Mormons, when Smith married them…</em><em>Eleven of Smith’s wives were between ages 14 and 20, nine were in their 20s, eight were in Smith’s own peer group of 31 to 40, two were in their 40s and three in their 50s. ~ </em><a href="http://www.lds-mormon.com/12117.shtml"><em>Joseph Smith’s Wives</em></a>, the Salt Lake Tribune, 13 December, 1997</p></blockquote>
<p>Muhammad was cut from the same cloth, for amongst his many wives his favorite—Aisha—was married to him when she was 6 and he waited a full three years before <a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/ayesha.htm">consummating the “relationship”</a>.</p>
<p>Both religions acquired new <em>male</em> proselytes by appealing to their loins but while Smith promised godhood with an eternal harem of goddesses, Muhammad promised an eternal erection to be used on both virgin girls <em>and</em> young boys [Surah 52:20-27].</p>
<p>OK, to be fair, the ever-lasting woody was added by subsequent Islamic theologians like Al-Suyuti but muslim men have become quite attached to it for some reason (seems rather uncomfortable to me).</p>
<p>Apparently, Smith was so enamored with Muhammad’s style, he vowed to be just like him.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>If the people let us alone, we will preach the gospel in peace.  But if they come on us to molest us, we will establish our religion with the sword.  We will trample down our enemies and make it one gore of blood&#8230;from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. I will be to this generation a 2<sup>nd</sup> Muhammad, whose motto in treating for peace was “the Al-Qur’an or the sword.”  So shall it be with us — “Joseph Smith or the sword!”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>A reference to this speech can be found in Smith’s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/History-Church-Joseph-Mormon-ebook/dp/B004NG7TAG/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1342123783&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=history+of+the+church+joseph+smith">“History of the Church”</a> (Volume III, p. 167) but a more complete and devastating account is to be had from Fawn Brodie’s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/No-Man-Knows-My-History/dp/0679730540/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1342124409&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Fawn+M.+Brodie%2C+No+Man+Knows+My+History"><em>No Man Knows My History</em></a>, pp. 230-231.  Smith made this public proclamation just as the “Mormon War” was starting to heat up.  Perhaps he had taken inspiration from Muhammad’s claim:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I have been ordered by God to fight with people till they bear testimony to the fact that there is no God but Allah and that Mohammed is his messenger, and that they establish prayer and pay tribute.  If they do it, their blood and their property are safe from me.</em> ~ Bukhari Volume I, p. 13</p></blockquote>
<p>Sadly, the good folks from the “Show Me” state didn’t think so and he was exiled from Missouri and ended up in Illinois where he created his own little fiefdom in a town he named “Nauvoo” [Hebrew for “to be beautiful”].  Smith’s utopia quickly devolved into strife, envy and jealousy compounded by some extraordinary religious doctrine and political intrigue.  It ended with Smith being imprisoned by Illinois governor Thomas Ford in the county seat of Carthage along with his brother Hyrum.  It was there that a black-faced mob executed Hyrum and shot Smith multiple times as he jumped from a window, falling dead in the street in June of 1844.</p>
<p>For Muhammad, <em>al Tabari</em> claims that a conquered woman <em>tried</em> to poison him in vengeance for the torture and murder of her family but Bukhari’s <em>Hadith</em> state that a Jewish woman <em>succeeded</em> in poisoning the Prophet.  Certainly, in either case, the <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2026:52&amp;version=NASB">words of a different Prophet</a> ring true; <em>All who live by the sword shall die by the sword.</em></p>
<p><strong>9/11 TRUTH</strong></p>
<p>But Smith’s abject demise set the stage for another tragedy.  Mormons again looked to relocate and centralize in one geographic area, this time following their new president—Brigham Young—to the great state of Utah.  It was here that they intercepted a wagon-train of Arkansas pilgrims.  In their paranoia and perverse doctrines they chose to waylay and annihilate the entire caravan down to only the youngest of children, at one point, entering the Arkansas defenses under a false flag of truce to facilitate slaughtering them.  Known as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_massacre">“Mountain Meadow Massacre”</a>, the siege culminated with that bloodbath in 1857&#8230;on September 11<sup>th</sup>.</p>

<p>Is it fair to connect Mitt Romney to this past and culture?</p>
<p>—You bet.  He has embraced it enough to rise to authority within the Mormon Church and you can be damn sure that, once the Republican primary has concluded, the entire Democrat/media machine <em>will</em> be talking about it.  They’ll need to <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/11/09/ST2008110901017.html">fill all the empty time</a> they have <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2012/03/media-blackout-on-eligibility-near-total/%5d">ignoring the past</a> of the Manchurian Messiah of Mystery: Barack Hussein Obama.</p>
<p>Starting with his presidential campaign <a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/05/57-islamic-stat.html">through all 57 states</a> (excluding Alaska and Hawaii), those of us not hypnotized by the corporate-controlled media knew something was awry with the good Savior.  Ah, sorry&#8230; “Senator.”</p>
<p>In rare unsupervised, untelepromptered moments, a different Obama emerged such as the one whom <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html">NY Times columnist Nicholas Christoff interviewed:</a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent.  In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”</em></p></blockquote>

<p>While Katie Couric was busy schooling us with condescending tone <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-500803_162-20014479-500803.html">“for the record” that “he’s Christian”</a>, Saint Barack was going out of his way to <a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/after-covering-symbol-jesus-georgetown-white-house-had-obama-speak-front-symbols-ama">blot out the Name of Jesus Christ</a> and <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2008/10/77629/">mock the Bible</a>.</p>
<p>Barack was probably thinking “with friends like this” when Muammar Gadhafi stated that he was <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2008/10/78309/">a muslim from Kenya who studied in Islamist madrassas</a>.  I’m sure the former head of Libya was thinking the same thing as he was being <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2051361/GADDAFI-DEAD-VIDEO-Dictator-begs-life-summary-execution.html">brutally and publicly murdered</a> at the culmination of his friend’s <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/libya-crisis-obama-moammar-gadhafi-ultimatum/story?id=13164938">8-month long non-war</a> on his country.</p>
<p>Perhaps the media felt the war was unworthy of the name when so-called Tea Party lawmakers like Marco Rubio were going out of their way <a href="http://thehill.com/video/senate/188801-rubio-says-on-gadhafi-death-credit-goes-to-french-and-british">OK’ing its unconstitutional execution</a> by diverting attention from the American effort with the apparent insult that the British and the French did all the hard work.  Somehow, I don’t think Barack was insulted.</p>
<p>Certainly, the gravity was lost on most everyone over the fact that the rash of silly bowings of the representative of the most powerful nation in the world began when <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2009/04/93696/">Obama met one of the most revered men in all Islam</a>: the keeper of Mecca and Medina—the king of Saudi Arabia.</p>

<p>Good thing I’m not.</p>
<p>Doing the job other American journalists wouldn’t do, Islamist watchdog Robert Spencer was surprised to catch the Supreme Leader in Cairo <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/06/obama-quoted-a-quran-verse-about-waging-war-to-argue-for-peace-and-shared-interests.html"><em>appearing</em> to quote the Quran about “coming together” but <em>actually</em> inciting knowledgeable muslims to jihad!</a></p>
<p>I might’ve felt cowed into believing the more-PO’d-than-perky Katie about the Obama family dedication to Christian services&#8230;<a href="http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1949879,00.html">if they ever went to church</a>.  I guess once they lost the unique experience of a “church” that gave <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/14/AR2008011402083.html?hpid=opinionsbox1">the pulpit to the likes of Louis Farrakhan</a>, gave precedence to <a href="http://www.bizzyblog.com/2008/03/17/tuccs-church-bulletins-from-july-2007-probably-make-whether-obama-was-present-on-july-22-irrelevant/">Hamas terrorists</a>, called the <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=4719157&amp;page=1">Secretary of State “Condoskeeza” Rice</a>, and made it <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/05/jeremiah-wright-i-made-it-comfortable-for-obama-to-accept-christianity-without-having-to-renounce-islam/">“comfortable” for muslims to attend</a>, the Obamas probably lost the desire to find a new one.</p>
<p>Certainly, the thought of Mr. Obama being elected for another four years to <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/obama_already_outdebts_dubya_ITh6t7G3wYvg7FOkzM9luO">finish what he started</a> is a chilling one&#8230;<a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/will-obama-attempt-to-declare-martial-law-before-november-election/">if we even get that far</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well…what an odd topic to christen the new site with.</p>
<p>I guess I can thank the clean-cut young men who invaded my home 2 weekends ago and, again, today.</p>
<p>When they surprised me last weekend, my first thought was how badly I wanted to see their Latter-Day Saint brother, Mitt Romney win the Republican nomination and, subsequently, the White House. He’s far from perfect (can anything coming from Massachusetts be??) but he is the best of the entire lot of them in <em>either</em> party.</p>
<p>I looked at these young men sitting across from me at my dinner table with their short hair and their conservative suits and my first thought was, “Fellow Culture Warriors!”</p>
<p>So, rather than utilize my fair knowledge of Scripture to make them uncomfortable, I accented what we had in common.</p>
<p>Me being me, I did almost all of the talking, which was quite humorous given that they came to convert me. I think the older “elder” left behind his “Book of Mormon” for me more out of procedure than as an exclamation point to his witnessing (he really didn’t do any!). I had to embarrassingly move it from the TV tray where it sat all week before their return to at <em>least</em> make it look like I picked the thing up.</p>
<p>I went out of my way to invite them back by giving them my name and phone number. A few days later they called, we played some phone tag, and I invited them to return today.</p>
<p>But, in the days leading up to their return, I got an ornery streak due to the chance that the purpose of their returning was to try even harder to convert me. They certainly weren’t coming to sit and chat. It made me a little confrontational. I knew there were several issues that I could throw their way—issues that would stump any honest Mormon.</p>
<p>Even more, the L-rd was fueling my belligerent mood by having <em><a href="http://www.septemberdawn.net/">September Dawn</a></em> conveniently in my mailbox from Blockbuster Online several days before their return visit. I was saving it to watch with my wife but, with nothing else on the boob tube (as usual), I put it in to watch while I ate my lunch (even though the wife had to work).</p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.septemberdawn.net/">September Dawn</a></em> is a movie by Christopher Cain starring Jon Voight (fresh off of his <em>fantastic</em> performance as Defense Secretary John Keller in <em>Transformers</em>). The plot revolves around what is now known as the “Mountain Meadows massacre.”</p>
<p>Cain thought it pertinent to today’s Islamo-facist threat to relive another event that occurred on September 11<sup>th</sup>…in 1857. It, too, was an event charged by hatred and religious fervor.</p>
<p>Now, in spite of my newfound love for Jon Voight, I hesitated to even put this movie into my Blockbuster queue because I was afraid it would preach what so many other Leftist morons are out there preaching, courtesy of the <em>lunacy</em> of “multiculturalism”—that <strong>all</strong> “religious fervor” leads to homicidal madness. It’s what unG-dly people do to slander Christianity in order to slight the Message they so hate — <em>“Have some friggin’ self control you perverts!”</em></p>
<p>OK, so maybe I paraphrased the Gospel Message a little there, but there is plenty of evidence that the Left has used this slanderous tactic to sidestep Judeo-Christian morality.</p>

<p>It, of course, tickles me no end that they tagged their sign with the song of one of my favorite long-haired, dope-smoking Leftists, the late (not-so-great) John Lennon.</p>
<p>Or, perhaps you’d like to go more “mainstream.” How about CNN, otherwise known as “The Clinton News Network,” or “The Caliphate News Network.”</p>
<p>It wasn’t just a “report,” but an entire <em>series</em> by Christiane Amanpour (be sure to put the right ac<em>cent</em> on the proper syl<em>lable</em>) titled <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2007/08/43257/">“God’s Warriors,”</a> where, you guessed it — no difference between the “fundamentalists” of any given religion…even the one <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-ipbE]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-585" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals.jpg" alt="CNN twit equates jihadis with evangelicals" width="240" height="180" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals.jpg 240w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals-150x113.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals-24x18.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals-36x27.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CNN-twit-equates-jihadis-with-evangelicals-48x36.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" /></a>that uses women with <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8UHKP281&amp;show_article=1&amp;catnum=0">Down Syndrome as carriers of bombs</a> to slaughter innocent people.</p>
<p>But I figured, “what the heck?” I went ahead and rented it anyway and, there it was, sitting on my TV, inviting me to challenge my 2 young guests.</p>
<p>So perhaps a little history lesson is called for:</p>
<blockquote><p>Joseph Smith (1805 to 1827) claimed to have had a “visitation” from an [“angel” named] “Moroni” in 1823 which led to his finding and unearthing (in 1827) a long-buried book, inscribed on metal plates, which [supposedly] contained a record of God’s dealings with…ancient Israelite inhabitants of the Americas. ~ <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Smith,_Jr.">Joseph Smith, Jr.</a></em>, Wikipedia</p></blockquote>
<p>By the way, that’s why you have to scrutinize Wikipedia — the entry for Joseph Smith seems like it was written by a Mormon public affairs manager.</p>
<p>This “visitation” was the basis for the new religion.</p>
<p>But trouble followed Smith wherever he went. Smith exacerbated this by appropriating much of the Hebrew religion; calling non-Mormons “gentiles,” calling his main religious building “the temple” and so on. This is in stark contrast to mainstream, fundamentalist Christianity whose doctrine states that Jesus Christ completely fulfilled the only G-d-given religion on the planet (Judaism) whose purpose was to point towards Him —</p>
<p>Matthew 27:50-51<br />
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud Voice, and yielded up His Spirit.<br />
51 And behold, the veil of the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the Earth shook and the rocks were split!<br />
New American Standard Update (capitalization added to correct disrespect)</p>
<p>Making a new religion for the sake of personal power wasn’t anything “new.” What Smith did was just like another “prophet” who believed he was visited by a Heavenly emissary and given a “Divine revelation” for the sake of empowering himself…Muhammad.</p>
<p>And there are more similarities than that.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Book of Mormon contains many plagiarisms of the King James English (at least 25,000 words). This is strange since the plates were supposed to have been in the ground many centuries before the King James Bible was completed in 1611! The Book of Mormon also contains many errors such as claims of elephants in the Western Hemisphere and advanced metal producing capabilities in America before 400 A.D. (See Walter Martin’s<em> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Cults-Walter-Martin/dp/1556617143">Kingdom of the Cults</a></em> for a fine study in the errors of the Mormon Bible) ~ <em><a href="http://www.biblebelievers.com/jmelton/Mormons.html">The Plain Truth about the Mormons</a></em>, James L. Melton</p>
<p>Karen Armstrong, who is quite sympathetic to him in her biography <em>Muhammad</em>, notes:</p>
<p><em>“Muhammad did not know the chronology in which the scriptural prophets appeared: he seems, for example, to have thought that Mariam</em> [sic]<em>, the mother of Jesus, was the same as Mariam</em> [sic]<em>, the sister of Moses in the Jewish scriptures.”</em></p>
<p>It was not until later on, after already having given some of the recitations that form part of the Qu’ran, that Mohammed met with some friendly Jews in Medina who gave him more information on the Scriptures. Armstrong writes:</p>
<p><em>“Muhammad also learned about the chronology of Jewish history and discovered that the Jews and Christians, whom he had previously thought belonged to one religion, in fact had serious disagreements.”</em></p>
<p>I point this out because the Qu’ran reflects his lack of knowledge of the temporal sequence and progressive revelation revealed in the Bible. The Qu’ran does not contain the chronologies or genealogies of the Bible — which not only provide a continuous link in the records but also set the context for the prophets, priests, and kings, and for Jesus himself. There is no timeline like this in the Qu’ran. Instead there are snatches of stories which are distorted and made to differ from the biblical ones. ~ <em><a href="http://allthings2all.blogspot.com/2005/02/quran-plagiarism-of-bible-and.html">The Qu’ran: Plagiarism of the Bible and Omissions</a></em>, Catez Stevens, Wednesday, February 16, 2005</p></blockquote>
<p>As Smith and his followers bounced from state to state, they stayed only long enough to start scandal either based on unpaid debt or Smith’s outrageous polygamy habits which included “marrying” a girl as young as 14. It didn’t even matter if the women were already married to other Mormon men, Smith “married” them as well!</p>
<blockquote><p>In identifying 33 well-documented wives of Smith — other researchers have placed the figure as high as 48 — Compton found that in the case of 11 women, Smith’s polygamy was polyandrous. That is, the women were married and cohabiting with their husbands, who mostly were faithful Mormons, when Smith married them…Eleven of Smith’s wives were between ages 14 and 20, nine were in their 20s, eight were in Smith’s own peer group of 31 to 40, two were in their 40s and three in their 50s. ~ <em><a href="http://www.lds-mormon.com/12117.shtml">Joseph Smith’s Wives</a></em>, Salt Lake Tribune, 13 December, 1997</p></blockquote>

<p>How about some examples of the way the male followers of Muhammad treat women (incidentally, don’t hold your breath waiting for Gloria Allred and the “National Organization for Women” to ever address these <em>outrageous</em> injustices because Islam attacks their mutual enemy: the United States — where there are so many white men!):</p>
<ul>
<li>In the good ole’ United Kingdom they have eradicated their Christian heritage and allowed the Religion of Peace to fill the void. But some young women are caught in between the 2 cultures; the decadence of Western Europe and the vicious harshness of Islamic men. In order to keep from getting murdered for being unchaste, muslim girls who have fornicated before marriage are having plastic surgeons <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=502714&amp;in_page_id=1879">sew them back into virgins</a> (complete with blood capsules for the proper honeymoon affect).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Or how about the young Saudi girl who was caught sharing the company of a boy that was neither her husband nor her blood relative? When they were caught by some civic-minded Saudi men, both <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSL1713777420071217?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=worldNews&amp;pageNumber=1&amp;virtualBrandChannel=0">she <em>and the boy</em> were gang-raped</a>. Afterwards, a Saudi court decided that she still needed to be punished further and sentenced her to 200 lashes and 6 months in prison.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-ipbE]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-587" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls.jpg" alt="slaughtered girls" width="245" height="241" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls.jpg 245w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls-150x148.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls-24x24.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls-36x36.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/slaughtered-girls-48x48.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px" /></a>Here’s one I <em>know</em> you’ve seen plastered on the evening news night after night; Egyptian-born Yaser Abdel Said of Lewisville, TX <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=4079762&amp;page=1">murdered his 17 and 18 year old daughters</a>. Why? They were getting a little too Western for his muslim sensibilities. So, rather than have a long talk with them, he put them in his cab and then put bullets in their heads.<br />
This is well-known amongst those knowledgeable in Islam as an “honor killing” but, oddly, neither the media nor the Irving police could find a motive as to why a muslim father would murder his 2 Americanized daughters.</li>
</ul>
<p>Are you seeing a pattern here? Rather than allowing the Spirit to guide you in how you behave, you allow your <em>loins</em> to guide you. In both cases of Smith and Muhammad, women were nothing more than breathing sex-dolls or personal property to extinguish on a whim.</p>
<p>This is in stark contrast to the Biblical, Christian doctrine which states that, yes, women are different than men, yes wives are subservient to husbands, but the <em>other</em> side of that coin is that husbands are to love their wives as much as Christ loves us—</p>
<p>Ephesians 5:25-32<br />
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up for her,<br />
26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word,<br />
27 that He might present to Himself the Church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.<br />
28 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;<br />
29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the Church,<br />
30 because we are members of His Body.<br />
31 FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.<br />
32 This Mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the Church.<br />
New American Standard Update (capitalization added)</p>
<p>Have you seen <em><a title="The Passion of the Christ: Who Killed Jesus?" href="https://johnnycirucci.com/the-passion-of-the-christ-2004/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Passion of the Christ</a>?</em> Regardless of any controversy surrounding the private antics of Mel Gibson, the movie does a good job of helping its viewers get in touch with what it cost to buy our souls. <em>That</em> is the Example a Christian man is to follow in how to love his wife in specific, and respect all women in general.</p>
<p>Contrary to what modern, Leftist feminism teaches, men and women were created by G-d to be different (because it teaches us lessons about how to interact with our Savior)—</p>
<p>I Corinthians 11:3<br />
3 …I want you to understand that Christ is the Head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and G-d is the Head of Christ.<br />
New American Standard Update (capitalization and abbreviation added to correct disrespect)</p>
<p>But the most important thing to remember is that women are still completely equal with men in the highest sense of all: we are all souls Saved by Jesus Christ—</p>
<p>I Peter 3:7<br />
7 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the Grace of Life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.<br />

[2] Doctrine and Covenants 84:33-9; Goddesses are always subject to a god. Women are denied the Priesthood (meaning they are denied authority—not the same as Catholic priesthood). “In the LDS universe, theologically described as the real eternal universe, each man who achieves the highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom is worth many times more than each woman, even the women who qualify at that highest Celestial level, because each man who achieves Godhood-level may have numerous God-wives, but each God-wife may have only one husband. This can only mean that each “heavenly father” is worth many times more than each “heavenly mother.” And, even if the ratio were strictly one to one, the male God, not the female God, holds the priesthood authority and is the only one of the God parents to whom his earth-mortality children are allowed to pray.

<p><strong>ISLAM</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.</em></p>
<p><em>How should ye not fight for the cause of Allah and of the feeble among men and of the women and the children who are crying: Our Lord! Bring us forth from out this town of which the people are oppressors! Oh, give us from thy presence some protecting friend! Oh, give us from Thy presence some defender!</em></p>
<p><em>Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil. Lo! the devil’s strategy is ever weak. ~ </em>Surah 4:74-76</p></blockquote>
<p>What will they find in “Heaven”? Girls <em>and boys</em> waiting to pleasure them—</p>
<blockquote><p><em>They will recline</em> (with ease)<em> on Thrones</em> (of dignity)<em> arranged in ranks; and We shall join them to</em> houris [virgins]<em>, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes. And those who believe and whose families follow them in Faith, — to them shall We join their families: Nor shall We deprive them </em>(of the fruit)<em> of aught of their works: </em>(Yet)<em> is each individual in pledge for his deeds.</em></p>
<p><em>And We shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they shall desire. They shall there exchange, one with another, a </em>(loving)<em> cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill.</em></p>
<p><em>Round about them will serve, </em>(devoted)<em> to them, young male servants </em>(handsome)<em> as Pearls well-guarded. They will advance to each other, engaging in mutual enquiry. They will say: &#8220;Aforetime, we were not without fear for the sake of our people. But Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind.” ~ </em>Surah 52:20-27</p></blockquote>
<p>Pretty twisted, huh? Just in case you wanted to slay some infidels but really wanted to be sure of the “boy” thing in your “heaven,” here’s more—</p>
<blockquote><p><em>And they will be given to drink there of a Cup</em> (of Wine)<em> mixed with Zanjabil, — A fountain there, called Salsabil. And round about them will </em>(serve)<em> youths of perpetual </em>(freshness)<em>: If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls. And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent. ~</em>Surah 76:17-20</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>CHRISTIANITY</strong></p>
<p>In dramatic contrast to the fleshly promises of food and perverse sex found in these false religions, the observant Christian can expect that, <em>while suffering</em>, they can take heart in the indescribable Glory that will one day be revealed to them—</p>
<p>Romans 8:18<br />
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the Glory that is to be revealed to us!<br />
New American Standard Update (capitalization added to correct disrespect)</p>
<p>It is Glory so simple and subtle, yet beyond words; the Glory of being the friend of Almighty G-d—</p>
<p>Exodus 33:11<br />
11 Thus the L-RD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend.<br />
New American Standard Update (abbreviation added to correct disrespect)</p>
<p>It is a friendship defined by sacrifice <em>given</em>, not taken—</p>
<p>John 15:13-15<br />
13 “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.<br />
14<em> You</em> are My friends if you do what I command you!<br />
15 No longer do I call you ‘slaves,’ for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you ‘friends,’ for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.”<br />
NASU</p>
<p>It exists in a Place where lusts of the flesh no-longer have pull…or even meaning—</p>
<p>Matthew 22:23-30<br />
23 On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,<br />
24 asking, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘IF A MAN DIES HAVING NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY HIS WIFE, AND RAISE UP CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER.’<br />
25 Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;<br />
26 so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh.<br />
27 Last of all, the woman died.<br />
28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”<br />
29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the Power of G-d.<br />
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven.”<br />
NASU</p>
<p>Anyway, all of this scandal finally caught up with Joseph Smith in Missouri. And he handled it in an interesting way—</p>
<blockquote><p>On October 14th, 1838 Joseph Smith equated himself with Muhammad. As reported by another Mormon historian, in a speech given to “every able-bodied Mormon in Caldwell County” Missouri, [Smith] said:</p>
<p>“If the people will let us alone we will preach the gospel in peace. But if they come on us to molest us, we will establish our religion by the sword. We will trample down our enemies and make it one gore of blood from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. I will be to this generation a second Mohammed, whose motto in treating for peace was ‘Alcoran [“the Qur’an”] or the Sword.’ So shall it eventually be with us — ‘Joseph Smith or the Sword!’” (Fawn Brodie, <em>No Man Knows My History</em>, 230-231. See <em>History of the Church</em> 3:167) ~ <em><a href="http://blog.mrm.org/category/joseph-smith/">Archive for the “Joseph Smith” Category</a></em>, January 30, 2008, Sharon Lindbloom</p></blockquote>
<p>So Joseph Smith equated <em>himself</em> with Muhammad, threatening blood retribution for the rejection of his “gospel”…because that is what Muhammad did—</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The Sayings and Deeds of Muhammad and His Companions</strong></p>
<p>One of Muhammad’s popular claims is that God commanded him to fight people until they become Muslims and carry out the ordinances of Islam. All Muslim scholars without exception agree on this. Muhammad said: “I have been ordered by God to fight with people till they bear testimony to the fact that there is no God but Allah and that Mohammed is his messenger, and that they establish prayer and pay Zakat (money). If they do it, their blood and their property are safe from me” (Bukhari Vol. I, p. 13).</p>
<p>Scholars understood this claim to mean the waging of offensive wars against unbelievers in order to force them to embrace Islam as individuals or communities. This is exactly what Muhammad himself did in carrying out God’s commandment to him.</p>
<p><strong>Azhar’s Scholars in Egypt</strong></p>
<p>In his book, “Jurisprudence in Muhammad’s Biography”, the Azhar scholar, Dr. Muhammad Sa’id Ramadan al-Buti says the following (page 134, 7<sup>th</sup> edition): “The Holy War, as it is known in Islamic Jurisprudence, is basically an offensive war. This is the duty of Muslims in every age when the needed military power becomes available to them. This is the phase in which the meaning of Holy War has taken its final form. Thus the apostle of God said: ‘I was commanded to fight the people until they believe in God and his message &#8230;’” ~ <em><a href="http://www.islam-watch.org/Shabana/TruthAboutIslam1.htm">Truth About Islam</a></em>, Shabana Muhammad, 10 June, 2006</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Both</em> of these “gospels” are in <strong>stark</strong> contrast to the Message of the Prince of Peace—</p>
<p>Matthew 5:39-47<br />
39 “But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.<br />
40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.<br />
41 Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.<br />
42 Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.<br />
43 You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’<br />
44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,<br />
45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.<br />
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?<br />
47 If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?”<br />
NASU</p>
<p>By the way, <em>that </em>is why Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was so successful in his efforts to erase bigotry, while Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan (both followers of Muhammad) <strong>exacerbated</strong> racial strife — in the case of Farrakhan, he still does <em>to this</em> <em>day</em>.</p>
<p>Why was polygamy so important to Joseph Smith and to Muhammad? Because they were <em>ruled</em> by lust (might I even say, “demons of lust”?)—</p>
<blockquote><p>Most of Smith’s plural wives boarded with other families, whom he visited periodically. His secretary, William Clayton, recorded one such visit to young Almera Johnson on May 16, 1843: “Prest. Joseph and I went to B[enjamin] F. Johnsons [sic] to sleep.” Johnson himself later noted that on this visit Smith stayed with Almera “as man and wife” and “occupied the same room and bed with my sister, that the previous month he had occupied with the daughter of the late Bishop Partridge as his wife.” Almera Johnson also confirmed her secret marriage to Joseph Smith: “I lived with the prophet Joseph as his wife and he visited me at the home of my brother Benjamin F.”</p>
<p>While in hiding, Joseph Smith wrote a revealing letter which he addressed to her parents, Newel and Elizabeth Whitney, inviting them to bring their daughter to visit him “just back of Brother Hyrums [sic] farm.” He advised Brother Whitney to “come a little a head and knock at the south East corner of the house at the window.” He assured them, especially Sarah Ann, that “it is the will of God that you should comfort me now.” He stressed the need for care “to find out when Emma comes,” but “when she is not here, there is the most perfect saftey [sic].” The prophet warned them to “burn this letter as soon as you read it” and “keep all locked up in your breasts.” In closing <a href="http://www.xmission.com/~research/family/strange.htm">he admonished</a>, “I think Emma won’t come to night if she dont [sic], dont [sic] fail to come tonight.” ~ <em><a href="http://www.mormoncurtain.com/topic_josephsmithpolyandrypolygamy.html">Joseph Smith…Cover[ed] Polygamy Pregnancies</a></em>, The Mormon Curtain</p>
<p>Muhammad had sex with just about anyone he pleased, thanks to Allah’s remarkable interest in his personal sex life.</p>
<p>Muhammad was married to eleven women at one time, relegating them to either consecutive days or (according to some accounts) all in one night. He married a 9-year-old girl and even his adopted son’s wife. On top of that he had a multitude of slave girls and concubines with whom he had sex &#8211; sometimes on the very days in which they had watched their husbands and fathers die at the hands of Muhammad’s armies.</p>
<p>So, by any realistic measure, the creator of the world’s most sexually restrictive religion was also one of the most sexually indulgent characters in history.</p></blockquote>
<p>For the sake of brevity, I have given just 2 of the examples listed by this site—</p>
<blockquote><p>Sura (33:37) — <em>“But when Zaid had accomplished his want of her, We gave her to you as a wife, so that there should be no difficulty for the believers in respect of the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished their want of them; and Allah’s command shall be performed.”</em> No doubt millions of young Muslims, trying to outdo one another at memorizing the Quran, have wondered about what this verse means and why it is there. In fact, this is a “revelation” of convenience that Allah just happened to hand down at a time when Muhammad lusted after his daughter-in-law, Zaynab, — an affair that disturbed local customs. The verse “commands” Muhammad to marry the woman (following her husband’s gracious divorce). As for why this should be part of the eternal word of God&#8230;?</p>
<p>Sura (33:50) — <em>“O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her </em>—<em> specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you;”</em> This is another special command that Muhammad handed down to himself that allows virtually unlimited sex, divinely sanctioned by Allah. One assumes that there was some sort of disgruntlement in the community over Muhammad’s hedonism that this “revelation” was meant to assuage. ~ <em><a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/025-Muhammads-sex-life.htm">What does the Religion of Peace Teach About&#8230;The Sex Life of the Prophet</a></em>, Religion of Peace.com</p></blockquote>
<p>As I was saying, this all caught up with Joseph Smith in Missouri.</p>
<blockquote>[Smith] claimed to have received a revelation on polygamy in 1842 but hid it from the public during his lifetime. [That issue was] key to his arrest. In public he strongly denied polygamy while practicing it privately.</p>
<p>On June 7, 1844…Smith read the first (and only) edition of the Navoo Expositor. This paper was printed by [Smith]’s second in command, William Law and William’s brother Wilson. In this only edition, Law publicly exposed [Smith]’s “Plural Wife System.” [Smith] had proposed to William’s wife and wanted her to become one of his plural wives. (The fact that [Smith] proposed to another man’s wife is always ignored in LDS reviews of [Smith]’s death.) She was highly offended and told her husband, who purchased a printing press and exposed [Smith] in public print.</p>
<p>Joseph Smith was so upset about being exposed that he called a city council meeting and, as mayor, declared the press a public nuisance and ordered it destroyed (<em>Documentary History of the Church</em> [DHoC], Vol. 7, pp. 61-65). Even in 1844, this was a violation of freedom of the press. [Smith] was first arrested in Navoo, but being the mayor, he let himself out of jail on his own recognizance. This is why charges were filed against him in Carthage.</p>
<p>The Navoo Expositor was the first newspaper to publicly expose Joseph Smith’s active practice of polygamy and his attempts to marry other men’s wives [“polyandry”]. The polygamy revelation (D&amp;C 132) was not printed until some years after the saints arrived in Salt Lake. [Smith]’s first wife Emma did not like polygamy. After [Smith] was killed, she denied that [Smith] ever practiced it and blamed Brigham Young for the polygamy revelation (D&amp;C 132).</p>
<p>While Smith was in jail, 2 guns were smuggled in to help him break out. [Smith] defended himself by shooting…with a pepperbox six-shooter that belonged to John Taylor which was smuggled into the jail by Cyrus Wheelock (HoC 7:100).</p>
<p>The gun battle in the jail is recorded in DHoC 7:101-105. John Taylor recorded the number of shots fired by Joseph Smith. He shot all six rounds, but three shots misfired. The three shots that did go off killed two men and wounded a third. It is recorded that Joseph Smith was shot in the back while trying to escape by jumping through the second-story window. His dying words were uttered outside on the ground. ~ <em><a href="http://www.macgregorministries.org/mormons/pagent.html">The Mormon Miracle Pageant</a></em>, Marshall Almarode, MacGregor Ministries.org</p></blockquote>
<p>These were the events that set the stage for the Mountain Meadows massacre.</p>
<p>Of course the Mormons that remained in Missouri were driven out and they found a new home in what was to become Utah.</p>
<p>Fueled by their isolationism, warped ideology and paranoia, they were expecting a company of U.S. soldiers to come wipe them out. When they saw the Fancher-Baker wagon train filled with Arkansas and Missouri immigrants bound for California, they knew it was time to act.</p>
<p>Two men — leaders in the Mormon militia, Isaac C. Haight and John D. Lee — conspired to lead Paiute tribesmen and Mormon militiamen disguised as Indians in an attack. Unfortunately for them, the Bible-thumping pilgrims were armed and able to defend themselves. In spite of their long journey and need for rest, the immigrants accounted for themselves well enough to turn the attack into more of a siege.</p>
<p>After 5 days, a group of plain-dressed Mormons approached the wagon train under a flag of truce and claimed that they had worked a deal with the Paiutes; if they turned over all of their 800 head of cattle and the rest of their supplies, the survivors would be permitted to leave the area with their lives.</p>
<p>As soon as they left their defensive perimeter, the Mormons turned and executed the men while (it was reported) they had the Paiutes execute the women and children. A small number of children too young to understand their circumstance were permitted to live.</p>

Do you know what was going on at that time? If you were educated in an American public school you probably don’t. Before word of the atrocity could get circulated in a time before internet, TV and telephones, the Civil War broke out in 1860.</p>
<p>It wasn’t until 20 years later that the incident was investigated. The only conviction was that of John D. Lee. LDS president Brigham Young could not be proven to have been criminally involved in the atrocity but, if he knew of the events as they took place (and it’s a good bet that he did), he was guilty by omission. It is a matter of historical record that Young righteously called the slaughter “God’s vengeance,” (<em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Prophets-Brigham-Massacre-Mountain/dp/0806136391">Blood of the Prophets</a></em>, Will Bagley, p. 247)</p>
<p>Back before judges and governments were warped by liberalism, socialism and secular humanism, there was still a sense of G-dly Justice. Upon conviction, John D. Lee was taken to the scene of the massacre and summarily shot by a military firing squad.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> 13 February, 2008 (Wednesday) —</p>
<p>In spite of my vote for Governor Mitt Romney, he has been forced out of the Republican primary by an unholy alliance between media darling Senator John McCain and self proclaimed “Evangelical Christian” Mike Huckabee.</p>
<p>Do you want to know what trumps the sordid, perverted past of Governor Romney’s religion? — The best interests of this nation.</p>
<p>If I have the time and energy, I will put together a voter’s guide that spells out the specifics of why I endorsed and voted for Mitt Romney as the best choice given Republican voters to protect the strength and values of the United States. Given that so many well-known names on the Right were with me like Rush Limbaugh, Senator Rick Santorum, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, Lars Larson and Senator Thad Cochran to name a few, I think you can understand where I was coming from.</p>
<p>But, after delivering an amazing speech at the 2008 Conservative Political Action Committee (<em>where was this ideological passion during the campaign??</em>) Romney bowed out of the race.</p>
<p>It is a foregone conclusion that the Romney campaign was doomed by thousands of Christians who knew too little about what Mike Huckabee stands for (like a free ride for illegal aliens and criminals—over <em>one thousand</em> pardons delivered by governor Huckabee) and simply played identity politics; “Hmm. Huckabee ‘Christian,’ me Christian too! I vote for him!!”</p>
<p>No different than the racists who vote for Obama because he’s black or the sexists who vote for the bride of satan, Hillary Rodham Clinton because she has ovaries.</p>
<p>Well, my stupid brothers and sisters, you have gotten rid of the Mormon whose religion, thanks to over a century of life in America, was really no threat <em>what-so-ever</em> and have exchanged him for a Baptist minister who said he wants to make amends for president Bush’s “bunker mentality” foreign policy and have tea with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — the Iranian leader who claims there was no Jewish Holocaust <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-ipbE]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-588" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens.jpg" alt="dour mittens" width="301" height="226" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens.jpg 413w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-150x113.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-300x225.jpg 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-24x18.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-36x27.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-48x36.jpg 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/dour-mittens-400x300.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px" /></a>(while he eagerly prepares to initiate another).</p>
<p>Oh, by the way, morons, did you happen to notice that Huckabee is now getting <em>creamed</em> by McNasty who is a shoo-in to become the guy we put up against the Democrat winner who will be riding a <em>massive</em> wave of anti-Bush, debt-increasing, illegal-loving hatred?</p>
<p>But, hey, we don’t need to worry about the president telling someone that Jesus is the “spirit brother” of Lucifer, do we.</p>
