										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most important passages in Scripture is <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+2&amp;version=MEV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel 2</a>.</p>
<p>The corruption of King Solomon’s rule, followed by the foolishness of his successor son, Rehoboam caused a civil war which split the nation of Israel into a Northern Kingdom (“Israel”) and a Southern Kingdom (“Judah”).  Judah maintained Jerusalem as its capital and Israel adopted Samaria as its capital.</p>
<p>Both fell under God’s Judgment for apostacy.  Both received Prophets who warned them.</p>

<p>In both cases, the Prophets sent by God were ridiculed, persecuted, punished, imprisoned and sometimes killed.</p>
<p>Between 732 and 740 B.C.<span id='easy-footnote-1-5212' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/where-does-eastern-rite-orthodoxy-fit-in-the-devils-simulation/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-5212' title='Many accounts use the Luciferian dating system of “B.C.E.” and “C.E.”  These are a ludicrous re-write which maintain the same start point (an inaccurate dating of the Birth of Jesus Christ) but re-name “Before Christ” to “Before Common Era” and “&lt;em&gt;Ano Domini&lt;/em&gt;” (Latin for “In the Year of Our Lord”) to “Common Era”.'><sup>1</sup></a></span>, the Kingdom of Assyria began a 20-year conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.</p>
<p>A century later, the Southern Kingdom fell.</p>
<blockquote><p>In 605 BC, Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon defeated Pharaoh Necho at the Battle of Carchemish, and subsequently invaded Judah.  To avoid the destruction of Jerusalem, King Jehoiakim of Judah, in his third year, changed allegiances from Egypt to Babylon. ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jerusalem_(597_BC)" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The populations of both were carried into captivity.  In violation of the Law of Moses (<a href="http://biblehub.com/deuteronomy/7-3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deuteronomy 7:3</a>), the Children of Israel were forced to inter-mingle and inter-marry with their pagan neighbors.  It was a cunning military tactic which diluted the national identity of conquered nations and inhibited them from rebelling against their captors.  It is the <em>real</em> reason Western nations have been inundated with immigrants by traitors in their own governments, both legal and illegal aliens.  While angry citizens aim their ire at the immigrants, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the real culprit is Rome</a>.</p>
<p>Babylon was a kingdom empowered by the Devil’s Simulation; a Luciferian system based upon sexual perversion and suffering of the innocent.  It was a system that maintained the strictest secrecy and power through to this very day until I exposed it with my latest book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1548350478/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Eaters of Children</em></a>.</p>

<p>Kings honored the Satanic source of their authority in many ways.  One of them was to ritually castrate young boys.</p>
<blockquote><p>The “mother goddess” has taken on many forms through the centuries, “Columbia” being one of the more recent versions.</p>
<p>What has been consistent, however, has been the connection to debauchery, fixation on reproduction and proof of dedication by causing the innocent to suffer.</p>
<p>These are all foundational to the Devil’s Simulation.</p>
<p>In Greece, the mother-goddess Cybele was honored in such fashion.  The most iconic example of blood-sacrifice to Cybele was the slaughter of a bull upon her altar, known as the Taurobolium.</p>
<p>The consort of Cybele was Attis, a youth who was so dedicated to her that he cut off his own genitals in her service.</p>
<p>The voluntary or involuntary castration of young men became a key part of pagan rites.</p>
<p>Such boys were presented to kings as cowed servants, guaranteed not to interfere with royal harems.</p>
<p>These abominable practices go back to the dawn of “civilization”.<sup>3</sup></p>
<p>Across the centuries it was learned that court “eunuchs” could also be employed as minstrels known as “<em>castrati</em>” (singular, “<em>castrato</em>”). &#8230;</p>
<p>With good reason is the practice known by an Italian term. It wasn’t until 18615 that the practice was finally outlawed in Italy but it continued to be openly “tolerated” and secretly encouraged by the Vatican at least until 1959.</p>
<p>Thousands of boys were mutilated regularly, ostensibly to give them singing voices unattainable any other way but most never sang after they were victimized. ~ <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1548350478/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Eaters of Children</em></a>, Cirucci, CreateSpace, Sept. 11, 2017, pp. 7, 8</p></blockquote>
<p>Rather than inflict this crime upon their own populations, kings would often take the children of nations they captured.  This is <a href="https://www.gotquestions.org/Daniel-eunuch.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">likely what happened</a> to the Prophet Daniel and his comrades Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah (who were given the Babylonian names Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego).  Out of respect for God’s servants, Scripture makes no mention of this but it is almost certain that Daniel would not have been placed in close proximity of the King and under the authority of the Chief Eunuch unless he was one himself.  It was a terrible price to pay but it also put Daniel in position to become one of the most powerful men in the world at his time.</p>
<p>The Book of Daniel explains that God sent King Nebuchadnezzar a powerful, disturbing dream.  He sought an explanation from his soothsayers but their usual procedures of taking what was known and putting an unverifiable spin upon it angered him.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230; in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams, and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him.  Then the king gave the command to call the magicians and the astrologers and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams.  So they came and stood before the king.  The king said to them, “I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to understand the dream.”</p>
<p>Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, “O king, live forever.  Tell your servants the dream, and we will tell the interpretation.”</p>
<p>The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, “The command from me is firm: If you will not make known to me the dream with its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces and your houses shall be made a dunghill.  But if you tell the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor.  Therefore tell me the dream and its interpretation.”</p>
<p>They answered again and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will tell the interpretation.”</p>
<p>The king answered and said, “I know of certainty that you are bargaining for time, because you see that the command from me is firm: If you will not make known to me the dream, there is but one decree for you.  For you have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me until the circumstance is changed.  Therefore tell me the dream so that I know that you can tell me its interpretation.”</p>
<p>The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, “There is not a man on the earth who can tell the king’s matter, inasmuch as no great king or ruler has ever asked such things of any magician or astrologer or Chaldean.  Also, it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no one else who can tell it before the king, except the gods whose dwelling is not with flesh.”</p>
<p>For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.  Therefore the decree went out that the wise men should be slain.  And they sought for Daniel and his companions to be slain.</p>
<p>Then Daniel answered with discretion and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.  He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree from the king so urgent?”  Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.  Then Daniel went in and desired of the king that he would give him time in order that he could tell the king the interpretation.</p>
<p>Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, so that they might ask for compassion from the God of Heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. ~ Daniel 2:1-17, Modern English Version</p></blockquote>
<p>Daniel beseeched God to give him understanding of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and it was granted to him.  He bravely used it to proclaim YHWH as the one, true God before the most powerful man in the world.</p>
<blockquote><p>Daniel answered in the presence of the King and said, “The secret which the King has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot tell the king.  But there is a God in Heaven who reveals secrets and makes known to King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.  Your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed are these:”</p>
<p>“As for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind upon your bed about what would come to pass hereafter, and He who reveals secrets makes known to you what shall come to pass.  But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living man, but for the purpose of making known the interpretation to the king, and that you might understand the thoughts of your heart.”</p>
<p>“You, O king, were watching, and there was a great image.  This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you.  And its form was awesome.  This image’s head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.  You watched until a Stone was cut out without hands which struck the image upon its feet, which were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.  Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors.  And the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found.  But the Stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole Earth.”</p>
<p>“This was the dream.  Now we will tell its interpretation before the king.  You, O King, are the King of kings.  For the God of Heaven has given you a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.  Wherever the sons of men dwell, or the animals of the field, or the fowl of the heavens, He has given them into your hand and has made you ruler over them all.  You are the head of gold.”</p>
<p>“After you, another kingdom inferior to you shall arise, and a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the Earth.  And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, for iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, it shall crush and shatter all these.  As you saw the feet and toes, partly of potters’ clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided.  But there shall be in it some of the strength of the iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.  As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly broken.  Whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they shall not cleave to one another, even as iron does not mix with clay.”</p>
<p>“In the days of these kings the God of Heaven shall set up a Kingdom which shall never be destroyed.  And the Kingdom shall not be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.  Inasmuch as you saw that the Stone was cut out of the Mountain without hands and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the King what shall come to pass hereafter.  And the dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.” ~ Daniel 2:27-45, Modern English Version (some capitalization added for clarity and to correct disrespect)</p></blockquote>

<p>Christian and secular historians are nearly unanimous in their explaining the four major kingdoms:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* Head of Gold: Babylon<br />
* Chest and Arms of Silver: Medo / Persia<br />
* Belly and Thighs of Bronze: Greece<br />
* Legs and Feet of Iron and Miry Clay: Rome (and no-human allies)</p>
<p>What they have been quiet about is how the military empire of Rome transformed into the religious empire which rides world power just as the Bible predicted.</p>
<blockquote><p>“After this I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it hath iron teeth very great, it hath consumed, yea, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled; and it [is] diverse from all the beasts that [are] before it; and it hath ten horns.” ~ Daniel 7:7, Young’s Literal Translation</p></blockquote>
<p>The four beasts of Daniel’s vision in Chapter 7 are the same as those of Nebuchadnezzar in Chapter 2.  Note the “great iron teeth” of the fourth beast.</p>
<blockquote><p>One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the Great Harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the Earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the Earth were made drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality.”</p>
<p>Then he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.  The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filth of her sexual immorality.  On her forehead a name was written:</p></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">MYSTERY,<br />
BABYLON THE GREAT,<br />
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS<br />
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.</p>
<p>I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the Saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.</p>
<p>When I saw her, I marveled greatly.  Then the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel?  I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.  The beast, which you saw, was, and is not, and is to ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to destruction.  Those who dwell on the earth whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and is to come.”</p>
<p>“Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits.  They are also seven kings.  Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.  Concerning the Beast who was, and is not, he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to destruction.”</p>
<p>“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom yet, but they will receive authority as kings for one hour with the Beast.  These are of one mind and will give their power and authority to the beast.  These will wage war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings.  Those who are with Him are called and Chosen and Faithful.”</p>
<p>Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the Harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.  These ten horns and the Beast which you saw will hate the Harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh, and burn her with fire.  For God has put in their hearts to fulfill His Will, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the Words of God are fulfilled.  The woman whom you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the Earth.” ~ Revelation 17, Modern English Version (some capitalization added)</p></blockquote>
<p>The seven hills of Rome are so legendary even “user-edited” Wikipedia acknowledges them with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_hills_of_Rome" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a special entry</a>.</p>
<p>The split of the fourth kingdom is also easy to define in history.</p>
<blockquote><p>Charlemagne’s crowning made the Byzantine Emperor redundant, and relations between the East and the West deteriorated until a formal split occurred in 1054.  The Eastern Church became the Greek Orthodox Church by severing all ties with Rome and the Roman Catholic Church — from the pope to the Holy Roman Emperor on down. ~ <a href="http://www.dummies.com/religion/christianity/catholicism/the-split-that-created-roman-catholics-and-eastern-orthodox-catholics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dummies.com</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The scandals in the “Eastern Rite” / Orthodox Church seem not as well-covered as those of the Catholic Church.</p>
<p>Orthodox clergy are allowed to marry <a href="https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2015/10/of-marriage-and-orthodox-priests" target="_blank" rel="noopener">before being ordained but not afterward</a>.</p>
<p>This may have reduced the number of scandals but they still exist.</p>
<blockquote><p>Thirty-two years old, struggling with severe mental illness, the man turned in desperation to his church, the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco.</p>
<p>But soon after the man implored the Rev. Michael Rymer to be his “spiritual father” and guide him through his troubles, the priest allegedly seduced him without revealing that he had been exposed to HIV, court records show.</p>
<p>The priest allegedly entangled the mentally ill parishioner in a long-running, illicit relationship, offering religious salvation while inflicting sexual abuse.</p>
<p>“I was going to Father Michael when I was in my worst state,” the man later testified.  “When I would go to him to help me, he would help me, and afterward he would take advantage of me.  That was his method of continual operation over and over again.”</p>
<p>Over a 14-year-period, several church officials learned that the priest was HIV-positive, and they suspected he was having sex with his parishioner, according to court records.  But they did not report Rymer’s misconduct.</p>
<p>The priest’s alleged sexual abuse of his vulnerable parishioner seemed destined to remain a secret masked by a church hierarchy steeped in tradition rich with incense and icons.</p>
<p>But the man’s psychiatrists urged him to complain.  And with encouragement from a San Francisco-based watchdog organization that monitors sex abuse in the Eastern Orthodox Church, he filed a lawsuit accusing the priest of sexual battery and the church of negligence.</p>
<p>Rymer and the church have denied wrongdoing.  But after San Francisco Superior Court Judge Patrick Mahoney ruled that the church might face potentially high punitive damages, the defendants settled the case at a closed court hearing on Thursday from which members of the media and the public were excluded.</p>
<p>The man’s lawyers, Terry Gross and Monique Alonso, declined to comment but said in court papers that despite blatant evidence of clerical misconduct, “the Church deliberately turned a blind eye.” Carla Hartley and William Wilson, attorneys for the church, also declined comment but said in a brief that the church had acted appropriately.</p>
<p><strong>Many Lawsuits Against Church</strong></p>
<p>The Rymer case is the latest sex abuse settlement to roil the 1.5 million-member Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, part of the worldwide Eastern Orthodox Church, which split from the Roman Catholic Church in the 11th century.</p>
<p>In the past decade, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese has paid more than $10 million to settle sex abuse cases, according to the church.  The archdiocese faces pending lawsuits alleging sex abuse by priests in Texas, Florida, Illinois and Arizona.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, more than two dozen Greek Orthodox priests around the country have been criminally convicted, sanctioned by the church or sued for sexually abusing parishioners, according to the San Francisco-based watchdog group.  The organization is called <a href="https://www.pokrov.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pokrov</a>, for an Orthodox church icon that represents the protection of Mary, mother of God. ~ <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/health/article/Church-settles-sex-abuse-suit-against-priest-3194082.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Francisco Chronicle</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Naming the Orthodox victim advocate group after an “icon” of the “mother of God” is an ominous sign that they will not receive justice.</p>
<p>Miriam was vessel that bore Jesus in His human form, God has no mother.  The “Mary” of Rome is the reincarnated “Semiramis”, “Isis”, “Cybele” and “Columbia” of the Devil’s Simulation.</p>
<p>In Greece, Orthodoxy openly runs government as it <a href="https://themoscowtimes.com/articles/patriarch-plants-church-near-fsb-school-16678" target="_blank" rel="noopener">does secretly in Russia</a>.  2005 saw the outing of some of its skulduggery.</p>
<blockquote><p>Greece’s Orthodox church, buffeted by sex and corruption scandals, met in emergency session yesterday amid lurid claims that have included one newspaper publishing photographs of a 91-year-old bishop naked in bed with a nubile young woman.</p>
<p>Scrambling to resolve the worst crisis in the church’s modern history, the embattled spiritual leader, Archbishop Christodoulos, convened the rare meeting as allegations of skulduggery, sexual improprieties, trial rigging, drug and antiquities smuggling engulfed the institution.</p>
<p>“I humbly ask for forgiveness from the people and the clerics who, for the most, honour&#8230; the cassock they wear,” he said addressing the 102-member Holy Synod, the church’s ruling council.</p>
<p>“There is a lot that must be done to put our house in order,” he conceded before proposing a series of reforms.</p>
<p>Greeks have watched dumbfounded as allegations of their priesthood’s dissolute lifestyle have unfolded on their television screens.</p>
<p>Snatched tape-recordings, aired nightly, have revealed rampant homosexuality among senior clerics who, unlike ordinary priests, are under oaths of chastity.</p>
<p>The alleged debauchery has not been limited to monastic cells. Last week, claims emerged that Metropolitan Theoklitos of Thessaly, a leading churchman, had been arrested on suspicion of drug dealing in a police raid on a notorious nightclub in Athens.</p>
<p>The priest was reportedly rounded up with Seraphim Koulousousas, the archbishop’s former private secretary, also implicated in another “unholy affair” involving gay sex with a bishop. ~ <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/feb/19/religion.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Guardian</a></p></blockquote>
<hr />
<blockquote><p>In the shadow of the Acropolis, Greeks are witnessing a scandal-plagued showdown — involving allegations of drug-dealing bishops, bribe-taking judges and a mysterious fugitive — that could permanently sever the ancient bonds of church and state.</p>
<p>A series of stunning revelations has uncovered what seems to be a powerful criminal element within the leadership of the Greek Orthodox church.  Run by bishops accused of serious crimes, the ring is reported to exert control over Greek politicians and judges, and to have used the church’s almost unlimited powers to build a mafia-like hierarchy of wealth and corruption.</p>
<p>This week, the scandal threatened to reach the very top of this secretive church.  Archbishop Christodoulos, the 66-year-old leader of the church, has been accused of working with a convicted drug smuggler named Apostolos Vavilis, who is wanted by Interpol and believed to be hiding in Italy.  The archbishop said this week that the relationship is innocent, but police want to question Mr.  Vavilis about his role in the church, where he allegedly acted as an envoy at the highest levels.</p>
<p>The church, which for decades has seemed immune to criticism, has begun to be shaken.  During the ceremonial inauguration of a new Greek president on Saturday, half a dozen members of parliament stormed out of the legislature, and dozens more refused to stand, when the archbishop entered the chamber in his ceremonial headdress and carrying his sceptre.</p>
<p>“These are issues which must be confronted,” MP Fotis Kouvelis, one of the six who walked out, said in an interview in his office earlier this week.</p>
<p>“We believe the church has delayed in confronting these corruptions — consequently, there is a responsibility in the hierarchy of the church to answer for these events &#8230; for us, the only answer is a severance of the powers and responsibilities of the church from those of the state.”</p>
<p>A majority of Greeks now believe that the archbishop should resign, according to a poll this week, but it will not be easy to transform a church that is older, and in many ways mightier and wealthier, than the modern Greek state.</p>
<p>The Orthodox Church is a state religion, its 10,500 priests and 10,000 theologians paid government salaries similar to those earned by high-school teachers.  Its 81 bishops are far more powerful, earning tax-free salaries similar to those of cabinet ministers and at least twice again that much from fees for weddings, baptisms and funerals, from the rental of burial plots and from the construction and renting of apartments on church property (which is legal). ~ <a href="https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/scandal-reaches-highest-echelon-of-greek-orthodox-church/article977436/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&amp;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Globe and Mail</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Actually, Greece is to be commended.  Where Rome controls all the rest of world governments unbeknownst to their citizenry, at least Greeks know who really runs things.</p>
<p>Clearly, the Prophet Daniel knew what he was talking about.</p>
<p>As we’ve told you repeatedly, Rome likes to commit crimes hiding behind Jews.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6yXm4ZDbddE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Searches via the Roman-controlled internet are quick to substitute Jewish Orthodox scandals that are much more robust in the staggering secret control of government.</p>
<p>The Harlot of Babylon even controls our information.  It’s no coincidence that the founding of the world’s most powerful search engine, “<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/09/26/when-is-googles-birthday/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Google</a>”, is on the anniversary of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Jesus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founding of the Jesuits</a>: September 27<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>As a result, if one tries to search “Google” for “Orthodox scandals” the primary results are from those committed by Orthodox <em>Jews</em>.</p>
<p>It is truly ironic that Rome gets her “Papal Court Jews” to so eagerly betray their own.  The Great Harlot emplaces Jews like “Dave Seaman” to be the acceptable name and face of the 2016 “PizzaGate scandal” and then use him to promote how the Jews at the New York Times have “outed” the criminal deviancy of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iXXc2R8eirU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>But even when they are patsies, Rome’s Jews still get the same protections of any of her pedophiles.</p>
<blockquote><p>Brooklyn district attorney Charles Hynes has refused a freedom of information request for details of child sex abuse prosecutions in the Orthodox Jewish community, amid questions over the veracity of his arrest figures.</p>
<p>The refusal coincides with the collapse of his most vaunted prosecution after appellate court judges ruled this week for a mistrial in the case of Baruch Lebovits, sentenced in 2010 to a maximum 32-year jail term.</p>
<p>Lebovits was convicted in March 2010 of abusing a 16-year-old boy.  The DA’s office said it is prepared to retry the case.  But victims’ advocates say his mistrial is a major setback in their efforts to encourage other child sex victims to risk community censure and come forward.  Advocate Joel Engelman said the decision was “extremely demoralising”.</p>
<p>Last month the Guardian reported that the DA was facing accusations that he has failed to tackle up the cover-up of abuse in Brooklyn’s Orthodox community – the largest Orthodox community in the world outside Israel.  Rabbinic leaders are accused of hampering efforts to uncover abuse, and many victims face intimidation and threats to prevent them pressing charges.</p>
<p>The Guardian and the Jewish Forward paper had submitted freedom of information (FOI) requests for details of cases.  But this week Hynes’s office informed the Forward that it was denying its request, because the close-knit nature of the Orthodox community meant disclosing the names of defendants would reveal the identities of the victims.  The DA’s spokesman, Jerry Schmetterer, confirmed that the Guardian’s request would also be refused on the same grounds.</p>
<p>The statement refusing the FOI request marks the first admission by Hynes that suspected child abusers from the Orthodox Jewish community receive exceptional treatment. ~ <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/apr/26/brooklyn-da-refusal-details-orthodox" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Guardian</a></p></blockquote>
<p>It’s quite courageous of <em>The Guardian</em> to post an ancillary story on the special treatment Jewish clergy receives from “secular” government.  What is missing, however, are the overwhelming number of stories showing who Catholic clergy get this treatment and more&#8230;about 20-to-1 more (both treatment and stories).  For that, you’ll need to get <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1548350478/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Eaters of Children</em></a>.</p>
<p>Proving the Pedocracy has an absolute lock on all power positions even down to a big city District Attorney, the change of the guard in Brooklyn brought no change.</p>
<blockquote><p>After initially facing up to 32 years in prison for eight counts of child sexual abuse, Baruch Lebovits walked out of Riker&#8217;s Island last week a free man.  He had served just under 16 months of total prison time.</p>
<p>That Lebovits, a cantor from the ultra-Orthodox Borough Park section of Brooklyn, was even convicted is seen as a victory considering the difficulty of prosecuting abuse in that community.  However, his release is disappointing, if not surprising, for those who hoped Brooklyn district attorney Kenneth Thompson would be the man to end decades of ultra-Orthodox sex abuse cover-ups.</p>
<p>Thompson beat out Charles Hynes for Brooklyn DA, ending a reign that last more than 23 years.  Towards the end of his time as DA, Hynes was scrutinized for his perceived unwillingness to prosecute crimes against the ultra-Orthodox, especially in regards to sexual abuse.  At best, his administration appeared exceptionally lax, and at worst, it willfully obstructed justice.  He was famously reluctant to release the names of convicted sex abusers in the Orthodox community.  His office let Rabbi Yehuda Kolko get away without jail time or registering as a sex offender.  Instead, Kolko received a plea deal that allowed him to plea guilty to child endangerment.  The DA claimed the alleged victims—first graders in Kolko’s class—were unwilling to testify, but chief of the Kings County sex crimes division, Rhonnie Jaus, publicly said that their parents had been willing to put the kids on the stand.  It was one of many cases that raised questions about Hynes&#8217; willingness to prosecute ultra-Orthodox sex abuse.</p>
<p>Many critics of abuse and corruption in the ultra-Orthodox community hoped and believed Thompson would bring justice to Brooklyn.  For his part, Thompson openly criticized Hynes’ record on crimes committed by the ultra-Orthodox.  “Every community in Brooklyn has to be treated the same,” he said during a 2013 interview.  “When I become Brooklyn DA, I’ll make sure there’s equal justice for everyone, under the law.”</p>
<p>In fact, days after Thompson was elected last November, he requested that Hynes freeze any new ruling on the Lebovits case.  Thompson said he wanted to ensure a “full opportunity to review the Lebovits matter and participate in the decision to take the case to trial or dispose of it by way of a guilty plea.”  The Jewish Week reported that sources said Hynes was expected to dispose of the case with a lenient plea deal.  Ultimately, Thompson did the same, if not worse.</p>
<p>According to a transcript of the plea deal hearing from May 16, 2014 reviewed by The Daily Beast, Lebovits served even less time than was proposed during negotiations. ~ <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-orthodox-sex-abuse-crackdown-that-wasnt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Beast</a></p></blockquote>
<p>But when it comes to the rape and abuse of the innocent, Rome is still the reigning King.</p>
<p>—or, rather, “Queen”.</p>

<p>In May of this year, a Witness from Denmark was arrested in Russia&#8230;just for being a Jehovah’s Witness.</p>
<blockquote><p>A Danish national was arrested this week during a police raid in the central city of Oryol, Russia, during a worship service by members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, which Russia recently banned as an extremist organization.</p>
<p>The Dane was identified as Dennis Christensen, according to a spokesman for the religious organization in New York.</p>
<p>Christensen was picked up in the raid Thursday night by Oryol police and agents of the FSB, the successor to the KGB.</p>
<p>The officers also confiscated a Bible, religious literature, laptops and hard drives, according to the SOVA Center for Information and Analysis, a Russian non-profit group that tracks human rights issues in the country.</p>
<p>Russia’s Supreme Court last month formally banned Jehovah’s Witnesses as an extremist organization and ordered the state to seize its property in Russia.</p>
<p>Russian Court Bans Jehovah’s Witnesses As Extremist Group</p>
<p>The Interfax news agency quoted Justice Ministry attorney Svetlana Borisova in court as saying the religious group “poses a threat to the rights of the citizens, public order and public security.” ~ <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/09/24/group-accuses-pope-francis-heresy/698087001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USA Today</a></p></blockquote>
<p>In July of 2016 I warned you that Rome had manipulated Russia into a crack-down against her mortal enemies: <em>real</em> Christians (“Protestants”).</p>
<blockquote><p>It is with a heavy heart that I finally throw in the towel on Russia.</p>
<p>For the past 18 to 24 months I’ve been Russia’s biggest fan in America.</p>
<p>If one makes the stretch that says the Orthodox religion is “Christian”, Russia is a Christian nation.</p>
<p>As the West devolves further and further into an anti-Christian, amoral dystopia, Russia has bucked the trend. &#8230;</p>
<p>Does Vladimir Putin’s 16-year (and counting) reign at the top of the Russian food chain make him a miracle of the Resistance or a carefully-cultivated puppet for the Machine?</p>
<p>Putin is most definitely a Soviet-made man; having rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the KGB, then after the KGB became the “FSB”, Boris Yeltsin appointed Putin as Director in July of 1998 where he remained until August of 1999.</p>
<p>One month later, a series of terrorist bombings in Buynaksk, Volgodonsk and Moscow killed nearly 300 innocent Russian citizens.</p>
<p>By this time, Yeltsin had moved Putin from Director of the FSB (where he was instrumental in planning the attacks?) to acting Prime Minister where he was instrumental in cashing in the political clout to initiate a war against Chechen muslims.</p>
<p>Behind both Yeltsin and Putin was a cabal of mostly Jewish billionaires known as “the Family”.  Although one source claims that it was the Family that planned the attacks and war to shore up support for their political proxies, a top member of the Family, Boris Berezovsky, stated from London in 2002 that it was the FSB, which meant that Putin had to at least been aware of the plot. &#8230;</p>
<p>Berezovsky died in London a decade later.  The investigating coroner said “conflicting evidence” prohibited him from determining the cause of death.  Perhaps the conflicting evidence was his own zest for life. &#8230;</p>
<p>In February of 2015, Pravda stated that Putin was poised to release “satellite images” which prove that 9/11 was an inside job.</p>
<p>A year and a half later, the images have not materialized (perhaps it’s because there is <a href="https://aplanetruth.info/2015/11/24/satellites-dont-exist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no such thing as “satellites”</a>).</p>
<p>It’s not the first time truth-seekers have been played by the great white Russian hope that didn’t materialize. &#8230;</p>
<p>In 2012, the <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/vladimir-putin-vows-to-defend-christianity-worldwide-69002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Post reported</a> that the Orthodox Church had guaranteed President Putin would step up to protect Christians around the world. &#8230;</p>
<p>But the bloodletting of Christians continues unabated. &#8230;</p>
<p>As I’ve already <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/the-most-dangerous-anti-establishment-movement-in-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported to you, at length</a>, organized religion is the most deadly weapon used against a healthy Christian Faith.  Slowly, Evangelical Protestants are awakening to this danger and returning to their roots by joining in their homes as the first Christians once did.</p>
<p>In Russia, this is now illegal.</p></blockquote>
<p>In the Luciferian chess game that is their enslavement of us, each move is calculated and deliberate.</p>
<p>They are happy to sacrifice their own pawns if they can checkmate our freedom by a future move.</p>

<strong><sup>5 </sup></strong>Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?<br />
<strong><sup>6 </sup></strong>And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.<br />
<strong><sup>7 </sup></strong>For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains <em>will do so</em> until He is taken out of the way.<br />
<strong><sup>8 </sup></strong>And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.<br />
<strong><sup>9 </sup></strong>The coming of the <em>lawless one</em> is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,<br />
<strong><sup>10 </sup></strong>and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.<br />
<strong><sup>11 </sup></strong>And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,<br />
<strong><sup>12 </sup></strong>that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you read the NKJV, the translators capitalize the pronouns in verse seven clearly leading all to believe “the restrainer” is the Lord.</p>
<p>But is that accurate?</p>
<p>The King James version was based upon the highly-reliable <em>Textus Receptus</em> manuscripts.  The New King James, however, was not a modern English update of the KJV.  Critical changes to <a href="https://www.chick.com/ask/articles/nkjvtext.asp">Scripture were made</a>.  Although the 1982 preface to the New King James states the intent is only to take the Elizabethan language<sup>1</sup> and make it understandable in modern English, the translators failed to mention that changes would be made according to the Septuagint and even <a href="http://www.tbsbibles.org/pdf_information/130-1.pdf">Jerome’s Latin Vulgate</a>!</p>
<p>Other translations are noticeably different.</p>
<blockquote><p>II Thessalonians 2:5-12 (New American Standard Bible)<br />
<strong><sup>5 </sup></strong>Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?<br />
<strong><sup>6 </sup></strong>And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.<br />
<strong><sup>7 </sup></strong>For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains <em>will do so</em> until he is taken out of the way.<br />
<strong><sup>8 </sup></strong>Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;<br />
<strong><sup>9 </sup></strong><em>that is</em>, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,<br />
<strong><sup>10 </sup></strong>and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.<br />
<strong><sup>11 </sup></strong>For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,<br />
<strong><sup>12 </sup></strong>in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.</p></blockquote>
<p>So who is “the Restrainer”?  Does this help us understand who anti-Christ will be?  What is the “strong delusion”?</p>
<p>Often, it is assumptions that lead to biased and incorrect exegesis of Scripture.  Such is frequently an error of the Western mindset.  A Buddhist saw tells us—</p>
<blockquote><p><em>If you wish to know the truth, hold no opinions.</em><sup>2</sup></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Daniel’s 70 Weeks</em></strong></p>
<p>A similar confusion of pronouns can be found in an even more important passage; Daniel’s “70 Weeks”—the Prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27.</p>
<p>Sadly, there are <em>no</em> English translations that show this Prophecy in its clarity.</p>
<blockquote><p>Daniel 9:24-27 (New International Version)<br />
<strong><sup>24 </sup></strong>“Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.<br />
<strong><sup>25 </sup></strong>“Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’  It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.<br />
<strong><sup>26 </sup></strong>After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.  The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary.  The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.<br />
<strong><sup>27 </sup></strong>He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’  In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.  And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”</p></blockquote>
<p>In one of the most important passages of Scripture are mixed two seminal yet diametrically-opposed figures; the Anointed Messiah and the Destroyer—the anti-Messiah (although not equal in power).</p>
<p>The key to interpretation is found in the final verse.  The one who puts an end to the sacrifice and offering must be evil, mustn’t he?  The “covenant” must be a future, 7-year covenant, mustn’t it?</p>
<p>In Scripture, there are only <em>two</em> Covenants—the first is the Covenant between YHWH and His People given by Moses.  It was a Covenant His People could not keep [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+15%3A7-11&amp;version=MEV">Acts 15:7-11</a>], one that was only meant to hold them and point them toward a new Covenant [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+3%3A19-24&amp;version=NKJV">Galatians 3:19-24</a>].  This New Covenant was radically different from the old—rather than written on tablets of stone and impossible to keep, this One would be written on the <em>hearts</em> of God’s People and they would keep it out of love for Him! [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+31%3A31-34&amp;version=MEV">Jeremiah 31:31-34</a>]
<p>In <em>this</em> light a literal reading of the Prophecy produces a radically different interpretation.</p>
<blockquote><p>Daniel 9:24-27 (Young’s Literal Translation)<br />
<strong><sup>24 </sup></strong>‘Seventy weeks are determined for thy people, and for thy holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover iniquity, and to bring in righteousness age-during, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.<br />
<strong><sup>25 </sup></strong>And thou dost know, and dost consider wisely, from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem till Messiah the Leader [is] seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the broad place hath been built again, and the rampart, even in the distress of the times.<br />
<strong><sup>26 </sup></strong>And after the sixty and two weeks, cut off is Messiah, and the city and the holy place are not his, the Leader who hath come doth destroy the people; and its end [is] with a flood, and till the end [is] war, determined [are] desolations.<br />
<strong><sup>27 </sup></strong>And he hath strengthened a covenant with many — one week, and [in] the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.’</p></blockquote>
<p>There are flip-flopping contrasts floating between verses 26 and 27; first Messiah arrives at the appointed time but is “cut off”.  Then, anti-Messiah comes (from the anti-Messiah people) and will destroy the Sanctuary and make desolate with a “flood” (flooding waters often are a Biblical metaphor for many people).  Contrasting again, <em>Messiah</em> will <em>re-affirm</em> the Old Covenant but only for a single “week” (7 years).  Halfway through, <em>He</em> will cause the sacrifice to become obsolete and impossible to continue both physically and spiritually.</p>
<blockquote><p>John 2:13-22 (Modern English Version)<br />
<strong><sup>13 </sup></strong>The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.<br />
<strong><sup>14 </sup></strong>In the temple He found those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting there.<br />
<strong><sup>15 </sup></strong>When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen.  He poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.<br />
<strong><sup>16 </sup></strong>He said to those who sold doves, <span style="color: #800000;">“Take these things away!  Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”</span><br />
<strong><sup>17 </sup></strong>His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”<br />
<strong><sup>18 </sup></strong>Then the Jews said to Him, “What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things?”<br />
<strong><sup>19 </sup></strong>Jesus answered them, <span style="color: #800000;">“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”</span><br />
<strong><sup>20 </sup></strong>Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”<br />
<strong><sup>21 </sup></strong>But He was speaking concerning the temple of His body.<br />
<strong><sup>22 </sup></strong>Therefore, when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them.  And they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">______________</p>
<blockquote><p>Matthew 23:37-24:2 (Modern English Version)<br />
<strong><sup>37 </sup></strong><span style="color: #800000;">“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you, how often I would have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not!”</span><br />
<strong><sup>38 </sup></strong><span style="color: #800000;">“Look, your house is left to you desolate.”</span><br />
<strong><sup>39 </sup></strong><span style="color: #800000;">“For I tell you, you shall not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”</span></p>
<p>Chapter 24</p>
<p><strong><sup>1</sup></strong> Jesus departed from the temple and was leaving when His disciples came to show Him the temple buildings.<br />
<strong><sup>2</sup></strong> Jesus answered them, <span style="color: #800000;">“Do you not see all these things?  Truly I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another that shall not be thrown down.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Most bizarre of all, both Messiah and anti-Messiah work together to fulfill the Prophetic Divine Will!</p>
<p>It was intended for Messiah to re-affirm the Old Covenant with His 7-year ministry (beginning at His Baptism by John).</p>
<p>Halfway through His Ministry, traitorous Jewish leaders intent on killing anyone who threatened their power, seditiously worked with real power in Judea to have the Anointed One murdered without just cause (“not for Himself”).</p>
<p>A short time later, the people of the coming anti-Christ devastated Jerusalem and leveled the Temple down to its last foundation stone—<em>Romans</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Gessius Florus loved money and hated Jews.  As Roman procurator, he ruled Judea, caring little for their religious sensibilities.  When tax revenues were low, he seized silver from the temple.  As the uproar against him grew, in A.D. 66, he sent troops into Jerusalem who massacred 3,600 citizens.  Florus’s action touched off an explosive rebellion—the First Jewish Revolt—that had been sizzling for some time.</p>
<p><strong>Launching the Revolt</strong></p>
<p>The Jewish Revolt began—and met its bitter end—at Masada, a hunk of rock overlooking the Dead Sea.  The Romans had built a virtually impregnable fortress there.  Yet the atrocities of Florus inspired some crazy Zealots to attack Masada.  Amazingly, they won, slaughtering the Roman army there.</p>
<p>In Jerusalem, the temple captain signified solidarity with the revolt by stopping the daily sacrifices to Caesar.  Soon all Jerusalem was in an uproar, expelling or killing the Roman troops.  Then all Judea was in revolt; then Galilee.</p>
<p>Cestius Callus, the Roman governor of the region, marched from Syria with twenty thousand soldiers.  He besieged Jerusalem for six months, yet failed.  He left six thousand dead Roman soldiers, not to mention weaponry that the Jewish defenders picked up and used.</p>
<p>Emperor Nero then sent Vespasian, a decorated general, to quell the Judean rebellion.  Vespasian put down the opposition in Galilee, then in Transjordan, then in Idumea.  He circled in on Jerusalem.  But before the <em>coup de grace</em>, Nero died.  Vespasian became embroiled in a leadership struggle that concluded with the eastern armies calling for him to be emperor.  One of his first imperial acts was to appoint his son Titus to conduct the Jewish War.</p>
<p><strong>Crushing the Revolt</strong></p>
<p>By now, Jerusalem was isolated from the rest of the nation, and factions within the city fought over strategies of defense.  As the siege wore on, people began dying from starvation and plague.  The high priest’s wife, who once basked in luxury, scavenged for crumbs in the streets.</p>
<p>Meanwhile the Romans employed new war machines to hurl boulders against the city walls.  Battering rams assaulted the fortifications.  Jewish defenders fought all day and struggled to rebuild the walls at night.  Eventually the Romans broke through the outer wall, then the second wall, and finally the third wall.  Still the Jews fought, scurrying to the temple as their last line of defense.</p>
<p>That was the end for the valiant Jewish defenders and for the temple.  Historian Josephus claimed that Titus wanted to preserve the temple, but his soldiers were so angry at their resilient opponents that they burned it.  The remaining Jews were slaughtered or sold as slaves.</p>
<p>The Zealot band that took Masada held it for at least three more years.  When the Romans finally built their siege ramp and invaded the mountain fortress, they found the defenders dead—they had committed suicide to avoid being captured by foreigners.</p>
<p><strong>Results of the Revolt</strong></p>
<p>The Jewish Revolt marked the end of the Jewish state until modern times.  The destruction of the temple also signified a change in the Jews’ worship&#8230;<sup>3</sup></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Confirmed</em></strong></p>
<p>Understanding the Romans as the people of the anti-Christ is the key to unlocking the proper understanding of these passages.  The Romans would later become “Holy Romans”, mutating just as Daniel predicted into a Beast very different from the three previous Beasts (empires) given to both Daniel and Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar.</p>
<blockquote><p>Daniel 7:1-8 (Modern English Version)<br />
<strong><sup>1</sup> </strong>In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his mind <em>while</em> on his bed.  Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.<br />
<strong><sup>2 </sup></strong>Daniel spoke and said: I saw in my vision by night the four winds of the heaven striving upon the <em>Mediterranean</em> Sea.<br />
<strong><sup>3 </sup></strong>Four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse from one another.<br />
<strong><sup>4 </sup></strong>The first was like a lion and had eagle’s wings.  I watched until its wings were plucked and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.<br />
<strong><sup>5 </sup></strong>Another beast appeared, a second, like a bear, and it raised itself up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth.  And they said to it, “Arise, devour much flesh.”<br />
<strong><sup>6 </sup></strong>After this I looked and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a fowl.  The beast also had four heads.  And dominion was given to it.<br />
<strong><sup>7 </sup></strong>After this I saw in the visions at night a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong.  And it had great iron teeth.  It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet.  And it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.<br />
<strong><sup>8 </sup></strong>I considered the horns, when there came up among them another little horn before whom three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots.  And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.</p></blockquote>
<p>This Fourth and Final Beast was unlike the previous three because she would control in secret.  This way, she would spread tendrils across civilization.</p>
<p>Now, instead of enforcing her will by posting soldiers on every street corner, she would co-opt the soldiers and officials of each nation she conquered and <em>they</em> would do her will in secret!</p>
<p>Daniel’s vision was in perfect harmony with the dream he interpreted for King Nebuchadnezzar in Chapter 2 of a great statue which had a head of gold (Babylon), a torso of silver (Medo/Persia), loins of brass (Greece), legs and feet of iron (Rome).</p>
<p>Notice how the teeth of the Final Beast were the same material as the legs in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream: iron.</p>
<p>But this new “Holy Roman Empire” knew she had been predicted in Scripture and went about wiping off her bloody fingerprints, leaving only faded clues behind.</p>
<p>The 1517 Reformation initiated by Martin Luther gave new light which explained that the entire office of the Papacy was anti-Christ.</p>
<blockquote><p>The theme became very popular in the late Middle Ages among the Fraticelli, Wycliffites, and Hussites, who identified the popes with the Antichrist soon to be overthrown.  Luther was unwittingly in line with these sectaries, with one significant difference, however.</p>
<p>Whereas they identified particular popes, because of their evil lives, with Antichrist, Luther held that every pope was Antichrist even though personally exemplary, because Antichrist is collective: an institution, the papacy, a system which corrupts the truth of Christ.</p>
<p>That was why Luther could repeatedly address Leo X in terms of personal respect only a week or so after blasting him as Antichrist.<sup>4</sup></p></blockquote>
<p>The Jesuit-run Counter-Reformation began immediately upon Luther’s break.  Unable to destroy the movement by the brute force of the Inquisition’s burning pyres and instruments of torture, they embarked upon a new strategy to compromise and discredit Scripture.</p>
<p>Again, the keepers of Truth became an underground minority.</p>
<p>Despite their creation by Freemason William Miller, Seventh Day Adventists remained as the sole keeper of the torch of Luther.</p>
<p>Adventist scholar Uriah Smith confirmed these interpretations for us in the 19<sup>th</sup> century.</p>
<blockquote><p>Commenting on the prophecy that the little horn should “wear out the saints of the Most High,” Barnes, in his Notes on Dan.7:25, says: “Can any one doubt that this is true of the papacy?  The Inquisition, the persecutions of the Waldenses, the ravages of the Duke of Alva, the fires of Smithfield, the tortures of Goa, — indeed, the whole history of the papacy, may be appealed to in proof that this is applicable to that power.  If anything could have worn out the saints of the Most High, — could have cut them off from the earth so that evangelical religion would have become extinct, — it would have been the persecutions of the papal power.  In year 1208 a crusade was proclaimed by Pope Innocent III against the Waldenses and Albigenses, in which a million men perished.  From the beginning of the order of Jesuits in the year 1540 to 1580, nine hundred thousand were destroyed.  One hundred and fifty thousand perished by the Inquisition in thirty years.  In the Low Countries fifty thousand persons were hanged, beheaded, burned, or buried alive, for the crime of heresy, within the space of thirty-eight years from the edict of Charles V against the Protestants to the peace of Chateau Cambresis in 1559.  Eighteen thousand suffered by the hand of the executioner in the space of five years and a half, during the administration of the Duke of Alva.  Indeed, the slightest acquaintance with the history of the papacy will convince any one that what is here said of ‘making war with the saints’ ([Daniel 7] verse 21), and ‘wearing out the saints of the Most High’ (verse 25), is strictly applicable to that power, and will accurately describe its history.”  (See Buck’s Theological Dictionary, art., Persecutions: Oswald’s Kingdom, etc., pp.107-133; Dowling’s History of Romanism; Fox’s Book of Martyrs: Charlotte Elizabeth’s Martyrology; The Wars of the Huguenots; The Great Red Dragon, by Anthony Gavin, formerly one of the Roman Catholic priests of Saragossa, Spain; Histories of the Reformation, etc.) &#8230;</p>
<p>“The prince of the covenant” unquestionably refers to Jesus Christ, “the Messiah the Prince,” who was to “confirm the covenant” one week with his people. Dan. 9:25-27.  The prophet, having taken us down to the death of Tiberius, now mentions incidentally an event to transpire in his reign, so important that it should not be passed over; namely, the cutting off of the Prince of the covenant, or in other words, the death of our Lord Jesus Christ.  According to the prophecy, this took place in the reign of Tiberius.  Luke informs us (3:1-3) that in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, John the Baptist commenced his ministry.  The reign of Tiberius is to be reckoned, according to Prideaux, Dr. Hales, Lardner, and others, from his elevation to the throne to reign jointly with Augustus, his step-father, in August, A.D. 12.  His fifteenth year would therefore be from August, A.D. 26, to August, A.D. 27.  Christ was six months younger than John, and is supposed to have commenced his ministry six months later, both, according to the law of the priesthood, entering upon their work when they were thirty years of age.  If John commenced in the spring, in the latter portion of Tiberius’s fifteenth year, it would bring the commencement of Christ’s ministry in the autumn of A.D. 27; and right here the best authorities place the baptism of Christ, it being the exact point where the 483 years from B.C. 457, which were to extend to the Messiah the Prince, terminated; and Christ went forth proclaiming that the time was fulfilled.  From this point we go forward three years and a half to find the date of the crucifixion; for Christ attended but four Passovers, and was crucified at the last one.  Three and a half years from the autumn of A.D. 27 bring us to the spring of A.D. 31.  The death of Tiberius is placed but six years later, in A.D. 37.<sup>5</sup></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Who Is The Restrainer?</em></strong></p>
<p>Now with the proper understanding we can return to our original question.</p>
<p>It was well understood be even “Church Fathers” like Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus, (c. 155 – 240 AD)—better known to us as “Tertullian”.</p>
<blockquote><p>Dealing with the eschatological section of Paul’s first Epistle to the Thessalonians, Tertullian asks: ‘What archangel’s voice, what trump of God, is now heard, except it be forsooth in the entertainments of the heretics?  ‘He also points out that in the second Epistle to the Thessalonians Paul bids them not be troubled by false prophets, who teach that the day of the Lord is at hand.  For that day shall not come, unless there first comes a falling away, and the appearance of Antichrist.  The Antichrist cannot, however, come until he who now hinders shall be taken out of the way.  The ‘one who now hinders’ is the Roman Empire.  ‘What obstacle is there but the Roman state, the falling away of which, by being scattered |<sup>p210</sup> into ten kingdoms, shall introduce Antichrist upon (its own ruins.)’<sup>6</sup></p></blockquote>
<p>The anti-Christ office of the Papacy could not materialize unless the military office of the Roman Empire first disappeared.</p>
<p><strong><em>Learning Against Learning</em></strong></p>
<p>So if the early Church knew Rome was the 4<sup>th</sup> and Final Beast, and Protestants knew the Papacy was the anti-Christ, why isn’t it common knowledge today?</p>
<blockquote><p>With Rome so clearly depicted as the 4th and final Beast of both Daniel and Revelation, Jesuits needed to disconnect Christians from that interpretation and they used Preterism and Futurism to do it.</p>
<p>Preterism is the idea that most of prophecy has already taken place.  It was concocted by a Jesuit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Preterism was first advanced in 1604 by Jesuit Luis de Alcasar to destroy the Reformed Protestant teaching that the papacy was Mystery Babylon, the Great Whore and the historical Antichrist. &#8230;</em></p>
<p>Preterism wasn’t accepted by large groups of Protestants and an alternative interpretation of the End Times was put forth.</p>
<p>Futurism is more appealing in that it acknowledges that much of prophecy is yet future but it distracts from the 4th Beast and paints the anti-Christ as a man who suddenly appears just before the Tribulation and who stands alone, apart from any organization or system.</p>
<p>It, too, was fabricated by a Jesuit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Francisco Ribera (1537-1591) of Salamanca, Spain, published a 500 page commentary on the grand points of Babylon and Antichrist, the object being to set aside the Protestant teaching that the Papacy is the Antichrist.  In his commentary, he assigned the first chapters of Revelation to the first century.  The rest he restricted to a literal three and a half years a the end of time.  He taught that the Jewish temple would be rebuilt by a single individual antichrist who would abolish the Christian religion, deny Christ, pretend to be God, and conquer the world.<sup>8</sup> &#8230;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Ribera’s commentary laid the foundation for the greater structure of <strong>Futurism</strong>, which would be built upon and expanded by those who followed.  Ribera’s teaching was further popularized by Robert Bellarmine (1544-0621), an Italian cardinal and the most renowned of all Jesuit controversialists.<sup>10</sup></em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>After accepting the Jesuits’ <strong>Futurist System </strong>(and the <strong>Preterist System</strong>&#8230;) millenarian Protestants no longer saw Rome as a present but only a distant future threat.<sup>11</sup>  We should also mention Irving’s system saw no hope of victory over the present forces of evil except “by the brightness of his coming” in the second advent. With no hope, why try to conquer all things for Christ? </em>~ <em>Death of the Church Victorious</em>, Ovid Need<sup>557</sup> <strong><sup>7</sup></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Perhaps such a complete accomplishment seems impossible—no organization on Earth could so thoroughly control the understanding of almost all Christendom &#8230; could it?</p>

<blockquote><p><span style="color: #800000;">“Unless those days were shortened, no one would be saved.  But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.  Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe it.  For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.  Listen, I have told you beforehand.”</span> ~ Matthew 24:22-25 (Modern English Version)</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>UPDATE 29 March 2017, 01:31 PM, EST</strong></p>
<p>The dichotomy and contrast between the old Mosaic Covenant and new Covenant in Messiah Jesus Christ can clearly be seen in this passage from Jeremiah where even physically circumcised Jews are called “uncircumsized”—</p>
<blockquote><p>Jeremiah 9:25-26, (Modern English Version)<br />
<strong><sup>25</sup></strong> The days are surely coming, says the Lord, that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised—<br />
<strong><sup>26</sup></strong> Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who dwell in the wilderness who clip the hair on their temples; for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised of heart.</p></blockquote>
<p>The meaning is clear: true Faith in YHWH (through His Son) is a radical change of the <em>heart</em>.  Righteousness is kept from within, not by memorization, legalism or rote.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is with a heavy heart that I finally throw in the towel on Russia.</p>
<p>For the past 18 to 24 months I’ve been Russia’s biggest fan in America.</p>
<p>If one makes the stretch that says the Orthodox religion is “Christian”, Russia is a Christian nation.</p>
<p>As the West devolves further and further into an anti-Christian, amoral dystopia, Russia has bucked the trend.</p>
<p>In 2013, a law was signed by President Vladimir Putin <a href="http://www.euronews.com/2013/06/30/putin-signs-law-banning-homosexual-propaganda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banning homosexual propaganda</a> (particularly that which targets children).</p>
<p>A year later, more restrictions went into place that targeted outside nations which have <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/10635821/Russia-bans-adoptions-from-countries-that-allow-gay-marriage.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enacted homosexual “marriage”</a> then sending homosexual couples to Russia to adopt children.</p>
<p>No other First World nation protects children from <a href="http://www.frc.org/issuebrief/new-study-on-homosexual-parents-tops-all-previous-research" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the terrible effects</a> of being subjected to homosexual “parents”.</p>
<p>Western Intelligence, particularly the Central Intelligence Agency (thoroughly <a href="http://www.fordhamobserver.com/board-of-trustees-reject-petition-to-revoke-brennans-honorary-degree/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">controlled by the Jesuits</a>) has been using sexual depravity and extreme feminism to attack Russia.</p>
<p>Of particular note was the interruption and degradation of a service at Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior by the supposed punk rock band “Pussy Riot”.</p>
<p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/pussy-riot-moscow-church-service-2.png" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-mFRg]"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3831" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/pussy-riot-moscow-church-service-2.png" alt="“Pussy Riot” interrupting a solemn church service at Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior on 12 February 2012." width="1024" height="768" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/pussy-riot-moscow-church-service-2.png 1024w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/pussy-riot-moscow-church-service-2-150x113.png 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/pussy-riot-moscow-church-service-2-300x225.png 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/pussy-riot-moscow-church-service-2-768x576.png 768w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/pussy-riot-moscow-church-service-2-24x18.png 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/pussy-riot-moscow-church-service-2-36x27.png 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/pussy-riot-moscow-church-service-2-48x36.png 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/pussy-riot-moscow-church-service-2-400x300.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></p>
<p>The band is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy_Riot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said to have been founded</a> in 2011 but has neither recorded music nor presented concerts.</p>
<p>Offending Russians does seem to be high on their play list as the spectacle at Christ the Savior Cathedral occurred just a few months after their founding.</p>
<p>A year later, angry Orthodox Christians stormed into a Pussy Riot support event and <a href="http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/pro-church-activists-interrupt-pussy-riot-event/467249.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scolded the attendees</a> with “Repent!”, “Why do you hate Russia?”</p>
<p>Under pressure to appear like a real band, the <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/17/entertainment/la-et-ms-pussy-riot-new-single-state-department-20120817" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States State Department helped</a> the hapless harpies hump out a single.  I’m sure you’ve heard it on the radio.</p>
<p>In response to the punk assault, the Russian Legislature (Duma) has enacted a law which levies a $15,000 penalty and “correctional work” for those who disrupt sacred institutions.</p>
<p>As onlookers begin to realize that the Pussy Riot and Femen (a similar subversive group with nebulous beginnings and funding) saboteurs were focusing on Russia, Ukraine and the Vatican, suspicions began to arise.  On cue, Papal insurgents threw <a href="https://www.darkmoon.me/2015/who-pulls-the-strings-of-femen-and-pussy-riot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">down the “IT’S THE JEWS!”</a> card.</p>
<p>When it comes to fighting the “New World Order”, Russia repeatedly steps away from the decadent, enslaved West in defiance.</p>
<p>As the dangers of GMO food (“genetically-modified organisms”) continue to be of concern, the Russian government has <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2015/09/23/govt-decides-to-ban-gmo-food-production-in-russia-deputy-pm.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned their production</a>.</p>
<p>As Leftist and globalist demagogues proclaimed the “<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8313672.stm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">end of the world</a>” due to “global warming” unless common citizens returned to the stone age, <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/climate-change-conspiracies-stolen-emails-used-to-ridicule-global-warming-1835031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russian hackers released</a> e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, in Britain, showing how climate “scientists” doctored and fabricated data to emphasize the doom and gloom.</p>
<p>When it comes to the use and abuse of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s or “drones”) for mass surveillance and use in war, Vladimir Putin has stated that “drones aren’t toys” and has vowed to be circumspect in their use.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iC3xlqgu130?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The most shocking move of all has been the relaxation of private firearm ownership restrictions to allow for the use of “self-defense”.  It is a trend unprecedented in any nation.  Where governments hostile to their citizenry actually create false flag events as excuses to confiscate firearms, Russia appears to be firmly moving in the opposite direction.</p>
<p>“Conservative” wonks stuck in the Cold War (or who knowingly manipulate <em>you</em> to be stuck there) were having fits.</p>
<blockquote><p>It’s beginning to border on the surreal.  We’ve talked to great lengths about the inversion of international influence between the U.S. and Russia.  Under President Obama we have seen America’s command of world events sink to an unrecognizable (and quite embarrassing) level, while the Bond villain in the Kremlin [“Bond villain in the Kremlin”?  What “journalist” writes pap like that?<span id='easy-footnote-1-4206' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/iron-curtain/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-4206' title='The answer is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/michaelschaus/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;“liaison” for the Federal Reserve&lt;/a&gt;.'><sup>1</sup></a></span>] has taken control of international conversations. &#8230;</p>
<p>Yep.  The land of Vladimir Putin, run by an oligarchical collection of cronies and criminals, is about to relax their gun laws… And not by just a little.  After the reforms, they’ll make some U.S. jurisdictions look positively <strong>Soviet</strong>.  While places like New York and Washington DC continue to make it (almost) impossible to get a permit for carrying a handgun, Putin’s Russia is about to make it <strong>easier</strong>.</p>
<p>Previously, Russians were only permitted to own firearms (subject to approval) for hunting or sporting.  But under the new law they will soon be allowed to carry guns, open or concealed, for the purposes of self-defense.  (Yeah… A background check and training will be a prerequisite.)</p>
<p>And let’s face it, having a gun for self-defense is probably not the worst idea in Russia.  While America saw its share of homicides in 2011 (roughly 13,600), Putin’s homeland saw far more… Despite having a population that is almost half of the U.S., Russia recorded over 21,000 homicides in the same year.  (Wow…  So much for believing that gun control works, right Chicago?)  The new laws aim to curb that trend, and add to Russia’s homeland defense against <strong>outside</strong> threats. ~ <a href="Michael%20Schaus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Schaus</a>, Townhall.com</p></blockquote>
<p>But, perhaps above all of these issues, is that of Russia proclaiming herself a bastion of Christian virtue against Western decadence.</p>
<blockquote><p>MOSCOW — At the height of the Cold War, it was common for American conservatives to label the officially atheist Soviet Union a “godless nation.”</p>
<p>More than two decades on, history has come full circle, as the Kremlin and its allies in the Russian Orthodox Church hurl the same allegation at the West.</p>
<p>“Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a recent keynote speech.  “Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan.  This is the path to degradation.”</p>
<p>In his state of the nation address in mid-December, Mr. Putin also portrayed Russia as a staunch defender of “traditional values” against what he depicted as the morally bankrupt West.  Social and religious conservatism, the former KGB officer insisted, is the only way to prevent the world from slipping into “chaotic darkness.” ~ <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jan/28/whos-godless-now-russia-says-its-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Times</a></p></blockquote>
<p>In 2013, Vladimir Putin (who has been either Prime Minister or President of Russia since the turn of the century) gave a statement which skewered both Western decadence and “political correctness” when used as a weapon to silence Christian morality.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://www.interfax-religion.com/?act=news&amp;div=10764" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russia Will Defend National Identity, Based on Religious Values — Putin</a></strong><br />
Interfax, 20 September 2013</p>
<p>Valdai — People will lose their human dignity without [the] values enshrined in Christianity and other world religions, without [the] moral standards that have taken millennia to take shape, [said] President Vladimir Putin.</p>
<p>“We believe that it is natural and appropriate to defend those values.  Any minority deserves respect for its distinctive identity, but the rights of the majority must not be questioned,” Putin said during a meeting of the Valdai discussion club.</p>
<p>He believes, that Russia can’t move forward without cultural and national self-determination.  Otherwise the country won’t be able to respond to external or internal challenges, can’t be successful in global competition.</p>
<p>“Events that take place in the world represent [a] serious challenge to the Russian identity.  There are foreign policy and moral aspects to this.  We have been able to see many Euro-Atlantic countries effectively embark on a path of renouncing their roots, including Christian values, which underlie Western civilization,” Putin said.</p>
<p>“That involves the negation of moral principles and any traditional identity — national, cultural, religious, or even sexual,” he said.</p>
<p>“Policies are pursued that put large families and same-sex partnerships in the same category, belief in God and belief in Satan.  Excesses of political correctness reach the point where there are serious discussions on the registration of parties that have propaganda of pedophilia as their objective.  People in many European countries are ashamed and afraid of speaking about their religion, holidays are abolished or given other names, names that shyly conceal the nature of those holidays, and aggressive attempts are made to force this model on the rest of the world,” Putin said.</p>
<p>“This is a direct path to degradation and primitiveness, to deep demographic and moral crises,” he said.</p>
<p>“What can be a better indication of a moral crisis in human society than its loss of the ability for self-reproduction?” Putin said.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Paper Tranquilized Tiger?</em></strong></p>
<p>Does Vladimir Putin’s 16-year (and counting) reign at the top of the Russian food chain make him a miracle of the Resistance or a carefully-cultivated puppet for the Machine?</p>
<p>Putin is most definitely a Soviet-made man; having rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the KGB, then after the KGB became the “FSB”, Boris Yeltsin appointed Putin as Director in July of 1998 where he remained until August of 1999.</p>
<p>One month later, a series of terrorist bombings in Buynaksk, Volgodonsk and Moscow killed nearly 300 innocent Russian citizens.</p>
<p>By this time, Yeltsin had moved Putin from Director of the FSB (where he was instrumental in planning the attacks?) to acting Prime Minister where he was instrumental in cashing in the political clout to initiate a war against Chechen muslims.</p>
<p>Behind both Yeltsin and Putin was a cabal of mostly Jewish billionaires known as “the Family”.  Although <a href="http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2012/11/22/finally-we-know-about-moscow-bombings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one source claims</a> that it was the Family that planned the attacks and war to shore up support for their political proxies, a top member of the Family, Boris Berezovsky, stated from London in 2002 that it was the FSB, which meant that Putin had to at least been aware of the plot.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Russian former media mogul Boris Berezovsky launched his strongest attack yesterday on his one-time friend and now president, Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being linked to the terrorist bombings of apartment buildings that killed about 300 Russians in September 1999.</p>
<p>Mr. Berezovsky, now living in London, called a press conference to produce a British explosives expert, a French documentary-maker, a former Russian agent of the FSB (successor to the KGB), and a woman who lost her mother in the blasts, to accuse the security service and demand an official inquiry.</p>
<p>“I am sure the bombings were organised by the FSB.  It’s not just speculation.  It’s a clear conclusion”, Mr. Berezovsky said yesterday.  “I’m not saying Mr. Putin gave an order to blow up those buildings.  I’m saying that at the least he knew the FSB was involved.” ~ <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/mar/06/russia.iantraynor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Guardian</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Berezovsky died in London a decade later.  The investigating coroner said <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/27/boris-berezovsky-inquest-open-verdict-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“conflicting evidence” prohibited</a> him from determining the cause of death.  Perhaps the conflicting evidence was his own zest for life.</p>
<p>In August of 2000, another treasonous event rocked Russia from the Barents Sea.</p>
<p>An Oscar-class cruise missile submarine, the K-141 Kursk, suffered multiple explosions and sank in 300 feet of water.</p>
<p>Emergency systems were sabotaged and the Russian response guaranteed that all on board would perish.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Kursk submarine disaster that caused the sinking of the Oscar-class submarine (Russian: Project 949A Антей) Kursk took place during the first major Russian naval exercise in more than 10 years, in the Barents Sea on Saturday, 12 August 2000, killing all 118 personnel on board.  Nearby ships registered the initial explosion and a second, much larger, explosion two minutes and 15 seconds later, which was powerful enough to register on seismographs as far away as Alaska.  The Russian Navy did not recognize that the sub had sunk and did not halt the exercise or initiate a search for the sub for more than six hours.  Because the emergency rescue buoy had been intentionally disabled, it took more than 16 hours for them to locate the sunken ship.</p>
<p>Over four days the Russian Navy used four different diving bells and submersibles to try to attach to the escape hatch without success.  The navy’s response was criticised as slow and inept.  The government initially misled and manipulated the public and media about the timing of the accident, stating that communication had been established and that a rescue effort was under way, and refused help from other governments.  The Russian Navy offered a variety of reasons for the sub’s sinking, including publicly blaming the accident on a collision with a NATO submarine.  On the fifth day, President Putin authorized the navy to accept British and Norwegian offers of assistance.  Seven days after the submarine went down, Norwegian divers finally opened a hatch to the escape trunk in the ship’s ninth compartment, hoping to locate survivors, but found it flooded. ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_submarine_disaster" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Putin should’ve been immediately ousted the moment he sanctioned two NATO nations recovering the finally dead Russian sailors and all the pertinent military technology aboard.  But the entire operation was being masterminded by the same satanic Elite who engineered 9/11 a year afterward.</p>
<p>Having sunk the Kursk in shallow water, it was then possible for the British and Norwegians to collect their prize; her 22 P-700 Granit (П-700 Гранит) cruise missiles, one of which would be used against the accounting section of the Pentagon to cover up the $2 <em>trillion</em> in stolen funds.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Day Before 9 11 Rumsfeld Admits Pentagon Missing Astounding $2 3 Trillion" width="1080" height="810" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Gyhm5c8dVyo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Was it a coincidence that the groundbreaking ceremony for the Pentagon was <a href="http://www.history.com/news/9-things-you-may-not-know-about-the-pentagon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held on September 11<sup>th</sup></a>, 1941, or simply proof that war is a deadly, brutal illusion of the Elite?  Both Americans and Russians should think of such thoughts on May Day or Memorial Day.</p>
<p>Dimitri <a href="https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Dimitri_Khalezov" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Khalezov was a commissioned officer</a> in the Russian Special Control Service of the 12<sup>th</sup> Chief Directorate of the Defense Ministry (also known as “Unit 46179”).  He is an expert in nuclear ordinance:</p>
<blockquote><p>The 12th Chief (or “Main”) Directorate of the Ministry of Defense (12 GU MO) of the former USSR and of the modern Russian Federation (Russian: 12 Главное Управление Министерства Обороны СССР/РФ (Ядерно-техническое обеспечение и Безопасность)) is a department within the Russian (ex-Soviet) Ministry of Defense responsible for safe-keeping, technical maintenance, transportation, delivery, issuance, disposal, etc. of the nuclear arsenal of the state.  The agency is also responsible for testing of nuclear charges, for ecological safety of such testing, and for maintenance of Soviet/Russian testing grounds, known in Russian as “polygons” – in Semipalatinsk (Semipalatinsk Test Site, now Kazakhstan) and on Novaya Zemlya Archipelago. ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_Chief_Directorate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>In the below interview, Khalezov claims that he is living in Bangkok, Thailand to avoid an extradition demand by American Intelligence.</p>
<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lec9giab90I</p>
<p>In Khalezov’s 1,000-plus page work, <em>9/11thology: The “Third” Truth About 9/11</em>, he states that 9/11 came to his attention as a nuclear munitions expert because World Trade Centers 1, 2 and 7 were brought down by nuclear devices.</p>
<p>He further states that a Granit missile from the Kursk hit the Pentagon and that Vladimir Putin was unaware of its application there; having been kept in the dark by his advisers.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUnjbCxhXh4" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-4209 size-full" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/khalezov-granit.png" alt="khalezov granit" width="1420" height="1058" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/khalezov-granit.png 1420w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/khalezov-granit-150x112.png 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/khalezov-granit-300x224.png 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/khalezov-granit-768x572.png 768w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/khalezov-granit-1024x763.png 1024w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/khalezov-granit-24x18.png 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/khalezov-granit-36x27.png 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/khalezov-granit-48x36.png 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/khalezov-granit-400x298.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 1420px) 100vw, 1420px" /></a></p>
<p>The use of a Russian Granit gave plausible deniability to the Papist traitors in Washington as well as acted as a blackmail chip to keep Putin from disclosing anything he knew.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230; – the perpetrators wanted to make sure that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not voice any objections concerning the nuclear demolition of the World Trade Center by its inbuilt emergency nuclear demolition scheme [Khalezov claims that such devices were originally integral to the complex], despite learning of this fact very well from his own intelligence services.</p>
<p>The weak point was that President Putin had already declared to the world in August 2000 that in the sunken “Kursk” submarine there weren’t any nuclear weapons.  Of course, he could not then take back his noble presidential words and admit that he was only “joking” and that in reality all the 22 highly sophisticated supersonic “Granit” missiles – each equipped with a 500 kiloton thermonuclear warhead (and also with a pre-loaded list in their guidance systems of the most important NATO targets) – were simply missing.</p>
<p>When confronted with the remains of the “Granit” missile which hit the Pentagon, President Putin was simply forced to shut up in regard to the WTC nuclear demolition, despite the fact that he knew about it very well from reports of his own intelligence.  Therefore, instead of voicing his objections, he obediently took the side of the U.S. Government in its so-called “War against Terror”.</p>
<p>These were the real reasons behind the seemingly “unexplainable” 9/11 attack against the Pentagon.</p>
<p>Indeed, this attack was very well calculated and it was quite explainable.</p>
<p>Now the odd behavior of the Russian President immediately after the 9/11 attacks becomes also “explainable”.  Actually, everybody was sincerely expecting Putin to pull the Americans up in their bizarre and totally outrageous anti-Muslim claims, and everybody was surprised when that did not happen.</p>
<p>The true problem, however, was that President Putin was simply blackmailed into this pitiable condition by the 9/11 perpetrators – almost as easy as they managed to blackmail the U.S. Government into the most incredible cover-up of 9/11 and into a declaration of the “War against Terror”.</p>
<p>In fact, a position of the poor Russian President after 9/11 was reduced to such a lowly extent, that Putin was forced to supply the biggest ever quantities of various Russian weapons – including tanks, carriers, artillery, light weaponry and a huge number of munitions (enough to fully arm a couple of standard infantry or tank divisions) to the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan.  He did it totally free of charge.</p>
<p>Moreover, Putin did not even dare to voice any objections when the Americans unilaterally decided to quit the 1972 ABM Treaty (undoubtedly, the most impudent and the most aggressive step of the “Main Adversary of Russia”) when the decision of pulling out of the Treaty was announced by G.W. Bush on December 14, 2001.</p>
<p>President Putin was humiliated even further, when he failed to come up with any appropriate public response to the most impudent statement of G.W. Bush, who claimed exactly as follows:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Today I am giving formal notice to Russia that the United States of America is withdrawing from this almost 30-year-old treaty,” Bush said in the White House Rose Garden.  “I have concluded the ABM treaty hinders our government’s ability to develop ways to protect our people from future terrorist or rogue state missile attacks.…Bush said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin “have also agreed that my decision to withdraw from the treaty will not in any way undermine our new relationship or Russian security&#8230;”<sup>321</sup></p>
<p>Was Russian President Putin personally guilty in that stolen “Granit” missiles affair?</p>
<p>Most probably, he was not.  He was, probably, a victim – misinformed by his subordinates in regard to exact details of the “Kursk” affair. &#8230;</p>
<p>When the Americans confronted him with one of the “Granit” missiles found in the Pentagon – the Russian President most probably answered that he was not guilty.  It is obvious that he became the President of Russia relatively recently, while those Soviet-made missiles could have been sold out of Soviet Union or Russia (or Ukraine) well before his term.</p>
<p>It is not known what was said exactly, of course, because that conversation was apparently confidential.</p>
<p>But it seems that both sides agreed that some evil guys from either Russian, or Ukrainian, or from the former Soviet Government had sold those “Granit” missiles to evil Saddam Hussein.  It looks exactly like that.<span id='easy-footnote-2-4206' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/iron-curtain/#easy-footnote-bottom-2-4206' title='&lt;em&gt;9/11thology: The “Third” Truth About 9/11&lt;/em&gt;, Dmitry Khalezov, 4 July 2013, copyrighted but not published, pp. 662-663'><sup>2</sup></a></span></blockquote>

<p>A year and a half later, the images have not materialized (perhaps it’s because there is <a href="https://aplanetruth.info/2015/11/24/satellites-dont-exist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no such thing as “satellites”</a>).</p>
<p>It’s not the first time truth-seekers have been played by the great white Russian hope that didn’t materialize.</p>
<p>The “Global War on Terror” has done nothing to increase the security of any average citizen.  Quite the contrary, citizens now live in fear, get sexually assaulted for the “privilege” of flying on a plane and watch as their local law enforcement dawn camouflage, body armor and drive around in GWOT MRAPs.</p>
<p>But it has been resoundingly successful in punishing good Christians everywhere the Jesuit-controlled United States military has deployed.</p>

<blockquote><p>“Syria and Iraq are among those countries with the worst persecution.” ~ <a href="http://www.relevantmagazine.com/reject-apathy/christian-persecution-has-never-been-worse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Relevant Magazine</a></p></blockquote>
<p>In 2012, the <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/vladimir-putin-vows-to-defend-christianity-worldwide-69002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Post reported</a> that the Orthodox Church had guaranteed President Putin would step up to protect Christians around the world.</p>
<blockquote><p>The representative of the Russian Orthodox Church has told Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin this week of the urgent situation Christians are facing around the world in persecution hot spots, and has asked him to use his power to aid their situations.</p>
<p>RT online reported that Metropolitan Hilarion, foreign relation chief of the Russian Orthodox Church presented evidence and statistics that stated, “Every five minutes one Christian was dying for his or her faith in some part of the word.”</p>
<p>Christians face persecution in many nations; from church demolition in Afghanistan and bombings of churches in Iraq, to the violence against Christians taking place in rebellious towns in Syria.</p>
<p>After delivering the facts, Metropolitan Hilarion asked Putin to make protection and defense of Christianity around the globe a major part of his foreign policy.</p>
<p>And, as reported by Interfax, Putin replied, “You needn’t have any doubt that that’s the way it will be,” assuring Hilarion that Russian foreign policy would defend Christians from persecution abroad.</p></blockquote>
<p>But the bloodletting of Christians continues unabated.</p>
<p>In fact, as a result of the so-called “War on Terror”, Protestant Evangelical Christians are being persecuted in Russia, as well.</p>
<blockquote><p>This week, Russian president Vladimir Putin approved a package of anti-terrorism laws that usher in tighter restrictions on missionary activity and evangelism.</p>
<p>Despite prayers and protests from religious leaders and human rights advocates, the Kremlin announced Putin’s approval yesterday.  The amendments, including laws against sharing faith in homes, online, or anywhere but recognized church buildings, go into effect July 20.</p>
<p>Though opponents to the new measures hope to eventually appeal in court or elect legislators to amend them, they have begun to prepare their communities for life under the new rules, <a href="http://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=2197" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> Forum 18 News Service, a Christian outlet reporting on the region.</p>
<p>Protestants and religious minorities small enough to gather in homes fear they will be most affected.  Last month, “the local police officer came to a home where a group of Pentecostals meet each Sunday,” Konstantin Bendas, deputy bishop of the Pentecostal Union, told Forum 18.  “With a contented expression he told them: ‘Now they’re adopting the law I’ll drive you all out of here.’ I reckon we should now fear such zealous enforcement.” ~ <a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/gleanings/2016/june/no-evangelizing-outside-of-church-russia-proposes.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christianity Today</a></p></blockquote>
<p>As I’ve already <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/the-most-dangerous-anti-establishment-movement-in-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported to you, at length</a>, organized religion is the most deadly weapon used against a healthy Christian Faith.  Slowly, Evangelical Protestants are awakening to this danger and returning to their roots by joining in their homes as the first Christians once did.</p>
<p>In Russia, this is now illegal.</p>
<p>One reason that Russia has been so appealing is that staged terror events, like those occurring in <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/catholic-priest-beheaded-by-isis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roman Catholic-controlled France</a> and America (about one every two weeks now) are quite rare.</p>
<p>All the more reason that such an extreme measure is nothing short of Stalinist.</p>
<p>Perhaps there is the key to understanding its origins.</p>
<p>As I reported for you in <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illuminati Unmasked</a></em>, the worst dictator of Russia’s Soviet era was Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili, who later changed his name to “Joseph Stalin”.  As Adolph Hitler can be blamed for some 9 million deaths, Stalin was responsible for 40 to <em>60 million</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Joseph Stalin, who died 60 years ago in Moscow, was a small man &#8212; no more than 5-foot-4.  The abused son of a poor, alcoholic Georgian cobbler, Josef Vissarionovich Djughashvili (the future Stalin) also had a withered arm, a clubbed foot and a face scarred by small pox, but he stood very tall as one of history’s most prolific killers.</p>
<p>Stalin’s extremely brutal 30-year rule as absolute ruler of the Soviet Union featured so many atrocities, including purges, expulsions, forced displacements, imprisonment in labor camps, manufactured famines, torture and good old-fashioned acts of mass murder and massacres (not to mention World War II) that the complete toll of bloodshed will likely never be known.</p>
<p>An amoral psychopath and paranoid with a gangster’s mentality, Stalin eliminated anyone and everyone who was a threat to his power – including (and especially) former allies. He had absolutely no regard for the sanctity of human life.</p>
<p>But how many people is he responsible for killing?</p>
<p>In February 1989, two years before the fall of the Soviet Union, a research paper by Georgian historian Roy Aleksandrovich Medvedev published in the weekly tabloid Argumenti i Fakti estimated that the death toll directly attributable to Stalin’s rule amounted to some 20 million lives (on top of the estimated 20 million Soviet troops and civilians who perished in the Second World War), for a total tally of 40 million.</p>
<p>“It’s important that they published it, although the numbers themselves are horrible,” Medvedev told the New York Times at the time.</p>
<p>“Those numbers include my father.”</p>
<p>Medevedev’s grim bookkeeping included the following tragic episodes: 1 million imprisoned or exiled between 1927 to 1929; 9 to 11 million peasants forced off their lands and another 2 to 3 million peasants arrested or exiled in the mass collectivization program; 6 to 7 million killed by an artificial famine in 1932-1934; 1 million exiled from Moscow and Leningrad in 1935; 1 million executed during the “Great Terror” of 1937-1938; 4 to 6 million dispatched to forced labor camps; 10 to 12 million people forcibly relocated during World War II; and at least 1 million arrested for various “political crimes” from 1946 to 1953.</p>
<p>Although not everyone who was swept up in the aforementioned events died from unnatural causes, Medvedev’s 20 million non-combatant deaths estimate is likely a conservative guess.</p>
<p>Indeed, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the literary giant who wrote harrowingly about the Soviet gulag system, claimed the true number of Stalin’s victims might have been as high as 60 million. ~ <a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/how-many-people-did-joseph-stalin-kill-1111789" target="_blank" rel="noopener">International Business Times</a></p></blockquote>
<p>What could create such a paranoid monster?</p>
<p>Jesuits.</p>
<p>Stalin was trained at the Orthodox seminary in Tiflis to become a priest.  As he <a href="http://jesuitinquisition.blogspot.com/2016/02/joseph-stalin-was-born-into-prominent.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">later told biographer Emil Cohen</a> (“Emil Ludwig”), the Jesuits secretly ran the seminary which made his training that of a <em>Jesuit</em> priest.</p>
<p>There are too many in Russia, including Putin, himself, who see that dark time as “the good ole days”.</p>
<p>Putin resurrected Stalin’s national anthem and reinstituted the Red Star as the official military emblem for the Russian military.</p>
<p>The Jesuits particularly enjoy setting up Jews to be their instruments of death and that is Stalin’s heritage (“dze Jughashvili” means “of the Jewish people”).</p>
<p>Another Jesuit-created Jewish monster was Felix Dzerzhinsky.</p>
<p>Putin is a fan as are many Russians.</p>
<blockquote><p>President Vladimir Putin signed a decree restoring the title “Dzerzhinsky Division” to an elite police unit that was previously named after the founder of the Bolshevik secret police, the Interior Ministry’s internal troops press service said Monday.</p>
<p>Felix Dzerzhinsky founded the Cheka, a security apparatus notorious for orchestrating mass summary executions during the Russian Civil War and the Red Terror.  Established in 1924, the unit bore his name from 1926 until 1994, when its name was changed to the Independent Operational Purpose Division, the press service said.  The Dzerzhinsky Division ensured security at the Potsdam Conference of 1945 and the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics.  It was also dispatched to the restive regions of Nagorno-Karabakh, North Ossetia and Chechnya upon the demise of the Soviet Union.</p>
<p>Today the unit is tasked with maintaining public order in Moscow and the surrounding region, as well as in the North Caucasus.</p>
<p>Dzerzhinsky’s name and image have become a highly contentious issue in modern Russia.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, members of the Communist Party erected a plaster monument to Dzerzhinsky in front of the FSB’s headquarters — the infamous Lubyanka — in downtown Moscow to mark the 137th anniversary of his birth.</p>
<p>A 15-ton sculpture of Dzerzhinsky stood in front of Lubyanka from 1958 until 1991, when it was toppled by protesters.  There are periodically calls for the statue of the controversial figure to be returned, though so far they have not been successful. ~ <a href="https://themoscowtimes.com/articles/putin-renames-police-unit-after-bloody-cheka-founder-dzerzhinsky-39672" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Moscow Times</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Putin is also said to have kept a <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2002/oct/07/opinion/oe-stoner7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bust of Dzerzhinsky</a> on his desk while at the KGB.</p>
<p><em>Two Legs of Iron</em></p>
<p>The great statue of human rebellion against YHWH, chronicled in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%202" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel 2</a>, had two legs of iron.</p>
<p>As we understand the legs and feet of Iron to generally be Rome, it should more specifically be understood as “Rome” and “Constantinople”.</p>
<p>Although the business end of persecuting the Saints comes through Rome, the Orthodox Church is one with her Babylonian cousin.</p>
<p>Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia met with Rome’s Jesuit White Pope “Francis I” in Havana, Cuba—the Communist paradise <a href="http://www.puritans.net/news/castro.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">created</a> and <a href="http://www.prouty.org/bay_pigs.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protected</a> by the Jesuits.</p>
<p>There the two signed a “<a href="http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2016/02/12/joint_declaration_of_pope_francis_and_patriarch_kirill/1208117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joint Declaration</a>” of their mutual love for each other.</p>
<p>It’s probably no contest for the Great Harlot to woo back her lost sheep whether Orthodox or Anglican.  The disturbing part is how the wooed continue on in Orthodox or Anglican cloth as agents of Rome.</p>
<p>Only a month ago, an Anglican Vicar in London was approached by police and paramedics due to his public intoxication when he lashed out at them to back off, “You don’t know who you’re ___ing with.  <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/03/vicar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I’m with the Vatican!</a>”</p>
<p>Not only was Vicar Gareth Lambert arrogant in his revelry, but he knew that his Roman hierarchy trumped any in the British government.</p>
<p>Although Soviet Communism was known as a brutal beast of atheism, the Orthodox Church never suffered as much as Jews and Protestants did.</p>
<p>At the fall of the USSR, Orthodoxy rose to assume dominance in Russia; including <a href="https://themoscowtimes.com/articles/patriarch-plants-church-near-fsb-school-16678" target="_blank" rel="noopener">of her intelligence agencies</a>.  It should be no surprise that <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/nov/11/vladimir-putin-finds-an-ally-in-resurgent-russian-/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Putin and the Patriarch</a> work hand in iron fist.</p>
<p>But do they know that a Dragon pulls the strings above them?</p>
<p><em>Post Script</em></p>
<p>Like the CIA and the FBI, the FSB is <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/how-the-jesuits-rule-in-russia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">run by the Jesuits</a>.  They <em>own</em> Intelligence <em>everywhere</em>.</p>
<p>As further proof of the Roman control of Russia (our false hope against the Jesuit New World Order), <a href="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump-putin-yes-it-s-really-a-thing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vladimir Putin has endorsed</a> the false hope of the blind “Conservative” Right; <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/ann-coulters-jesuit-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesuit-trained Donald Trump</a>.</p>
<p>Now, when the CIA uses sexual perversion to create inverse support, it <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/05/13/the-putin-trump-kiss-being-shared-around-the-world/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">includes them both</a>.</p>

										<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>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.

<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>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-X5Q6]"><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-X5Q6]"><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>
<p>Sayings: Q. How shall I know you to be a Royal Arch Mason?<br />
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>

<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>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>

<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><strong><em>“Keeping the Law” is very different from what the Papal-sponsored Judaisers are preaching.</em></strong></p>
<p>A listener and contributor to <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/johnnycirucci">my program</a>, Tony, sent me an e-mail recommending a teaching by Rob Skiba that gave away nothing on what Tony and I know as the “Jesuit World Order” but none-the-less Tony considered the teaching “critical” and “outstanding”.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="1080" height="810" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3d6GhOj5TnQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>I assume Tony felt that way because of a vein that runs through all good Christians; we respect and revere the “Hebrew roots” of our Jewish Savior and we wish to please Him by disciplined living.  That is the appeal of Judaising and it is a dangerous trap that our Roman foes exploit to the fullest.</p>
<p><strong>Heirs of the Promise</strong></p>
<p>Whether it’s reverence for the Bible or respect for our “Hebrew roots”, the Dragon of Rome has zeroed in on our emotions of warmth and exploited them to the fullest in order to cover her tracks.</p>
<p>I remember like it was yesterday one of my final meetings with supposed Jesuit foe Eric Jon Phelps and my desperate attempts to rationalize the negative aspects of his mission such as needless enflaming of racial hatred<span id='easy-footnote-1-3597' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/what-is-sin/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-3597' title='On the title page of his book &lt;em&gt;Vatican Assassins&lt;/em&gt; he clumsily and comically lists himself as “Eric Jon Phelps White Separatist American Freeman Dispensational, Fifth Monarchy, Seventh-Day Baptist-Calvinist”.'><sup>1</sup></a></span> or his insistence that modern Israel still has a future prophetic role to play.  I now know the reason is what Cardinal Thomas Wolsey called “Learning Against Learning”; the Counter-Reformation tactic of mixing truth with lies.  <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/resistance-rising-044/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Jon Phelps is an undercover Jesuit</a>—he even has a family under false pretenses (a crime for which he will answer to when he stands before Christ).</p>
<p>Questioning “Eric” on his Dispensationalism, I asked him about the 144,000 or Revelation 7.  “Eric” insisted that <em>he</em> took the Bible <em>literally</em>.  This is a cunning tactic that is meant to instantly gain the high ground amongst Fundamentalist Christians who revere the Word of God.</p>
<blockquote><p>After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the Earth, holding the four winds of the Earth, that the wind should not blow on the Earth, on the sea, or on any tree.  Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the Seal of the Living God.  And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the Earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the Earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”  And I heard the number of those who were sealed.  One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:</p>
<p>of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed;<br />
of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.</p>
<p>After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the Throne, and to the Lamb!” ~ Revelation 7:1-10 (NKJV, some capitalization added to denote uniqueness)</p></blockquote>
<p>Have these sealed servants received their special commission based upon their bloodlines?</p>
<p>If so, why are the tribes of Dan and Ephraim not mentioned?  Do they have a special curse upon them, transferred by blood?</p>
<p>It is impossible to trace ancestors of the tribes today, will God perform a miracle for this purpose?  Is it necessary?</p>
<p>Seventh Day Adventist Pastor Doug Batchelor has an <a href="http://www.amazingfacts.org/media-library/book/e/86/t/who-will-sing-the-song-the-144000-of-revelation-14" target="_blank" rel="noopener">excellent and compelling teaching</a> <span id='easy-footnote-2-3597' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/what-is-sin/#easy-footnote-bottom-2-3597' title='It’s a shame that in Pastor Doug’s excellent teaching on this subject he quickly interjects to defend the globe Earth, heliocentric, Darwininan, dinosaur, Big Bang, cosmic accident, cosmological matrix the Jesuits created for us by stating that the “4 corners” aren’t literal.  The truth is that the Earth is flat and, therefore, those corners are almost certainly literal as lying just beyond the ring of ice we are told is “Antarctica”.'><sup>2</sup></a></span> on this that explains each of these concerns; he calls the number a literal “Special Forces” for Christ while the listing of tribes is symbolic.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="1080" height="810" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aWN__BLq7I8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>For the details of this teaching, <a href="http://www.amazingfacts.org/media-library/book/e/86/t/who-will-sing-the-song-the-144000-of-revelation-14" target="_blank" rel="noopener">go here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE: I love the Adventists’ for their insights (they are the only Protestant sect today) but it is quite obvious and clear to us non-Adventists that the Seal of God is not their legalistic definition of a Saturday Sabbath.  Such are the pitfalls of organized religion; both truth and tradition are institutionalized.</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* the 12 apostles did <em>not</em> come one from each Tribe, setting the precedent for a <em>spiritual</em> definition of “Children of Israel”<br />
* historically, the 12 Tribes were very different in population but those listed in Revelation 7 and 14 are exactly 12,000 of each<br />
* depending on how you count Joseph’s sons, Jacob’s two adopted grandsons, the Tribes can equal 12, 13 or 14<br />
* the Miracle of Christ’s Sacrifice extends Grace to any person who believes; “Jews” are now defined by the spirit in their heart and not the flesh of their lineage (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+2%3A28-29&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romans 2:28-29</a>)<br />
* “12” is the number for building.  Pastor Doug states “Twelve is a perfect number for building, because it is one of the most versatile numbers.  It can be evenly divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and of course 12.”<br />
* this seal does not mean only 144,000 are Saved as verse 9 follows with the multitude worshipping the Lamb at His Throne<br />
* the names appear to be aligned, not by birth, but by the significance of what they mean in order to reaffirm the Gospel!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">1.         Judah means                “I will praise the Lord”<br />
2.         Ruben means               “He has looked on me”<br />
3.         Gad means                  “Given good fortune”<br />
4.         Asher means                “Happy am I”<br />
5.         Naphtali means           “My wrestling”<br />
6.         Manasseh means         “Making me to forget”<br />

10.       Zebulun means            “Dwelling”<br />
11.       Joseph means              “Will add to me”<br />

<p><em>“I will praise the Lord for he has looked on me and granted good fortune.  I am happy because my wrestling, God is making me to forget.  God hears me and is joined to me.  He has purchased me a dwelling and will add to me, the Son of His Right Hand.”</em></p>
<p><strong>What Is Sin?</strong></p>
<p>Here we have a bit of a translational problem; a definition of “sin” can be found in I John 3:4 but that all depends upon which translation you read.</p>
<blockquote><p>Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. ~ NKJV</p>
<p>Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. ~ NASB</p></blockquote>
<p>Despite it’s bad reputation for inaccuracy, the NIV comes a little closer.</p>
<blockquote><p>Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. ~ NIV</p></blockquote>
<p>The King James appears to render this passage quite differently.</p>
<blockquote><p>Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. ~ KJV</p></blockquote>
<p>I neither like nor recommend the King James as its Shakespearian English is needlessly confusing.  It’s also a favorite translation of those desiring to sound righteous.  What I <em>do</em> recommend is serious scholarship; do exactly as I have done above.  Check multiple translations whenever possible and do original language word studies frequently.</p>
<p><strong>What Is “the Law”?</strong></p>
<p>If “sin” is “transgression of the Law”, then the next logical question is, “What is the Law?”  Does this mean that by eating shrimp, not covering my head or cutting the lawn on Saturday I’m sinning?</p>
<p>Perhaps a better question is, “Are the 613 <em>Mitzvot</em> of Moshe (the do’s and don’ts within the Law of Moses) what we mean by ‘the Law’?”</p>
<p>A careful examination of Scripture reveals something astounding: there appears to be more than one “Law”—the 10 Commandments or “Moral Law” verses the “Ceremonial Law”.</p>
<p>The “Moral Law” was written by the Finger of God on tablets of stone (even the second copy; <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+10%3A1-5&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deuteronomy 10:1-5</a>). (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+31%3A18&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Exodus 31:18</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+32%3A16&amp;version=NKJV">32:16</a>)</p>
<p>The “Ceremonial Law” was written by Moses and placed in a Book as a testimony of Israel’s fleshly tendencies. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+31%3A9-29&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deuteronomy 31:9-29</a>)</p>
<p>The “Moral Law” was placed <em>in</em> the Ark. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+25%3A16&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Exodus 25:16</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+10%3A1-5&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deuteronomy 10:1-5</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=I+King+8%3A9&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I King 8:9</a>)</p>
<p>The “Ceremonial Law” was placed <em>beside</em> the Ark. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+31%3A24-26&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deuteronomy 31:24-26</a>)</p>
<p>The “Moral Law” is necessary for ordered living, pre-existed us (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=I+John+3%3A8&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I John 3:8</a>), is written in our hearts (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+2%3A15&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romans 2:15</a>) and will stand forever. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+111%3A7-8&amp;version=KJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psalm 111:7-8</a>)</p>
<p>The “Ceremonial Law” was necessary to explain the Plan of Salvation and was fulfilled by the Sacrifice of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A17-18&amp;version=KJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 5:17-18</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+27%3A51&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 27:51</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+15%3A10-11&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Acts 15:10-11</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+10%3A4&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romans 10:4</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+3%3A23-25&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galatians 3:23-25</a>, <a href="http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Ephesians%202.14%E2%80%9315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ephesians 2:14-15</a>, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+9%3A6-15&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hebrews 9:6-15</a>)</p>
<p><strong>The Sabbath</strong></p>
<p>Failure to differentiate between the “Moral Law” and the “Ceremonial Law” can lead to the reverse of the Judaisers’ heresy; the idea that Christ rendered <em>all</em> Law obsolete.</p>
<p>The effective counter remains “But what about murder and adultery mentioned in the Ten Commandments?”  It’s clear that Christ’s sacrifice gave us freedom, not anarchy.</p>
<p>In fact, on the Sermon on the Mount, Christ took the Commandments and increased their jurisdiction beyond action and into your very thoughts and yearnings. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A21-30&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 5:21-30</a>)</p>
<p>There is also a “Royal Law” which James says is still in effect—</p>
<blockquote><p>If you really fulfill the Royal Law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the Law as transgressors.  For whoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.  For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.”  Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.  So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.  For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy.  Mercy triumphs over judgment. ~ James 2:8-13New King James Version (NKJV, some capitalization added for uniqueness)</p></blockquote>
<p>Enterprising students of Scripture have noticed that all of the first 10 Commandments are explicitly and clearly reaffirmed in the New Testament with the exception of the 4<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>Conversely, the listing of sins which merit damnation go beyond the 10 Commandments—</p>
<blockquote><p>Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?  Do not be deceived.  Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ~ I Corinthians 6:9-10</p></blockquote>
<p>Consequently, confusion (perhaps some rendered purposefully) still exists amongst Christians regarding the Commandment to, “keep holy the Sabbath Day”.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.  Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.  In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.  For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.  Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. ~ Exodus 20:8-11 NKJV</p></blockquote>
<p>To make matters more confusing, the first Christians appeared to gather for fellowship and worship on “the first day of the week” (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+20%3A7-8&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Acts 20:7-8</a>) in honor of the day that Christ rose from the dead. (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+28%3A1%3B+Mark+16%3A2-6%3B+Luke+24%3A1%3B+John+20%3A1&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2-6, Luke 24:1, John 20:1</a>)</p>
<p>Should Christians keep the Sabbath and should it be kept on the seventh day of the week?</p>
<p>The first concern with that issue is, “What is the seventh day of the week?”</p>
<blockquote><p>For some in the Christian tradition, the first day of the week is named in accordance with the creation tale in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, where one of the first things God did was say “<a href="http://www.usccb.org/bible/genesis/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">let there be light, and there was light</a>.”</p>
<p>Not every culture has Sunday as its first day, and notable exceptions are found in the Slavic languages, where Sunday is the last day of the week and is not named in honor of the sun.  For example, in Hungary Sunday is called <em>Vasárnap</em> and means “market day,” and in Old Russian, where Sunday was sometimes called “free day.” ~ <a href="http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2015/03/week-starts-sunday/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Today I Found Out</a></p>
<p><strong>Monday or Sunday first day of the week?</strong></p>
<p>The first day of the week varies all over the world.  In most cultures, Sunday is regarded as the first day of the week although many observe Monday as the first day of the week. According to the Bible, the Sabbath or Saturday is the last day of the week which marks Sunday as the first day of the week for many Jewish and Christian faiths, while many countries regard Monday as the first day of the week.</p>
<p>According to the international standard ISO 8601, <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/days/monday.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monday</a> is the first day of the week ending with <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/days/sunday.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunday</a> as the seventh day of the week.  Although this is the international standard, countries such as the United States still have their calendars refer to Sunday as the start of the seven-day week. ~ <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/days/">TimeAndDate.com</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The moment we begin to push a strict understanding of even <em>when</em> to observe the Sabbath, we are in danger of the sins of legalism and pride.</p>
<p>One can make the case that pride was the beginning of all sin and rebellion against God (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+14%3A12-14&amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isaiah 14:12-14</a>), and as a result, is the worst of sins.</p>
<p>The traditions of the Ceremonial Law are significant, but only in as much as they create a beautiful picture of our Savior and His Redemption for us.  Without Him, they are completely without substance.  Amongst the Ceremonial Law are the marking of Sabbath days, the strict keeping of which leads to the deadly sin of pride—</p>
<blockquote><p>In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the Circumcision of Christ, buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.  And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us.  And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the Cross.  Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.</p>
<p>So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.  Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.</p>
<p>Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations — “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” which all concern things which perish with the using — according to the commandments and doctrines of men?  These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh. ~ Colossians 2:11-23</p></blockquote>
<p>But are those Sabbath Days different from <em>the</em> Sabbath (as our Adventist brethren claim)?</p>
<p>If there is an important passage that needs a testimony in Scripture, we can expect it to be mentioned at least twice—for as the testimony of two or more is found, so is an issue resolved. (<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/18-16.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew 18:16</a>)</p>
<blockquote><p>Who are you to judge another’s servant?  To his own master he stands or falls.  Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.</p>
<p>One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike.  Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.  He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it.  He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.  For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.  For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord.  Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.  For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.  But why do you judge your brother?  Or why do you show contempt for your brother?  For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ~ Romans 14:4-10 (NKJV)</p></blockquote>
<p>It is an absolute fact that one can be nourished in their relationship with Christ by voluntarily keeping a Sabbath, <em>but only if that is their intent</em>, because that was clearly <em>His</em> Intent—</p>
<blockquote><p>Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain.  And the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why do they do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”</p>
<p>But He said to them, <span style="color: #800000;">“Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him: how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?”</span></p>
<p>And He said to them, <span style="color: #800000;">“The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.  Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”</span> ~ Mark 2:23-27</p></blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately, the reality of this issue appears to be that the vast majority of Christians exercise no discipline in this matter and a very small minority of Christians push a fanatical adherence to the legalistic side of it.</p>
<p>As with every issue of guilt and emotion where there is no clarity of thought or balance, the Dragon has stepped up to excite the paranoia of the devoted into believing that a specific, <a href="http://prophesyagain.org/pope-makes-case-for-sunday-observance-in-rapid-movements/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandated day of rest</a> will be the ultimate evil brought by her iron grip.</p>
<p>Given that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congregation_for_the_Doctrine_of_the_Faith">Inquisition never died</a>, it was simply put into <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-spanish-inquisition-made-in-america-2/5429677" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the hands of Rome’s American puppets</a>, there are far more serious issues to be concerned about.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There can be no doubt that organized religion has tortured more, enslaved more and murdered more human beings than any other enterprise in the experience of humanity.</p>
<p>The questions of “sin”, “guilt”, “salvation” and “relationship with one’s Creator” have the power to inspire men to superhuman feats of inspiration or make them devolve into unspeakable actions of subhuman barbarism.</p>
<p>Christianity has been blamed for most of those barbaric crimes but the real culprit has been Chaldean paganism.  Babylonian sun worship was the foundation of the pagan beliefs of the Roman empire but on the order of Emperor Theodosius I via his decree <em>Cunctos populos</em> in 380 AD, Christianity became the state religion of Rome.</p>
<p>The same entity that executed the Savior now hijacked His Name to metamorphose into a Beast that masqueraded as a lamb but spread terror like a dragon.</p>
<p>From the Crusades to the Inquisition, this Dragon began to paint the Cross on unspeakable crimes, not the least of which was to torture and murder Christians!</p>
<p>This Beast now <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rules the world in secret</a>, commanding all of the banks, militaries, intelligence agencies, governments, news media and even the entertainment industry.</p>
<p>She appears unstoppable: impossible to combat on your own.</p>
<p>—but is she?</p>
<p>True Christianity has nothing to do with organized religion.</p>
<blockquote><p>Jesus answered and said to him, <span style="color: #a30a0a;">“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”</span></p>
<p>Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old?  Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”</p>
<p>Jesus answered, <span style="color: #a30a0a;">“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’  The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes.  So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”</span> ~ John 3:3-8</p>
<p><span style="color: #a30a0a;">“I Am the Way the Truth and the Life.  No man comes to the Father but through Me.”</span> ~ John 14:6</p></blockquote>
<p>It is a personal relationship with the God/man Jesus Christ which saves, which is the foundation for <em>real</em> Christian Faith.</p>
<p>Organized religion has not only destroyed this, it has been the vehicle through which the dumbing down and re-education of Followers of Christ has been almost completely successful.  Doctrines dreamed up by the Dragon now all but unanimously run the halls of today’s “Christian” churches.</p>
<p>Christians have been warned not to congregate in “sacred” or “holy” places because the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ has made them all obsolete.</p>
<blockquote><p>Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?  If any man destroys the Temple of God, God will destroy him, for the Temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. ~ I Corinthians 3:16-17</p></blockquote>
<p>In keeping with pagan practice, the most “holy” cathedrals are built upon cemeteries or may even have remains of the dead hidden or cemented into their halls.  Some <a href="http://ivarfjeld.com/2013/07/24/dead-pope-kept-in-open-air-after-earthquake/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are not even hidden</a>.</p>
<p>Christians file in like sheep for the slaughter to be put to sleep by incompetents at best and wolves masquerading as shepherds at worst.  It’s as easy to turn your soul over to an “expert” as it is your body to a doctor but doing either without thinking or research can result in the death of both.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2000/07/30/doctors-death-part-one.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Doctors Are The Third Leading Cause of Death in the US, Killing 225,000 People Every Year</a></em></strong> ~ Joseph Mercola</p></blockquote>
<p>Christians are oblivious to the dangers surrounding them because they check the box for an hour every Sunday and believe they have safeguarded the souls of themselves and their families but the reality is that they are being spoon-fed poison from the very Beast they were warned to stay away from; the Whore of Babylon—</p>
<blockquote><p>I heard another voice from Heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as Heaven, and God has remembered her wicked deeds.  Pay her back even as she has paid, and give back to her double according to what she has done; in the cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her!  To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’  For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong!” ~ Revelation 18:4-8</p></blockquote>
<p>From Preterism (Biblical prophecy is already fulfilled) to Futurism (Biblical prophecy has not yet been fulfilled), the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” to Zionism and “Dispensationalism” (the doctrine that God is dealing separately with Christians and Jews), today’s supposed “Protestant” churches walk in lock-step, feeding their flocks disinformation fabricated by the Company of Loyola.</p>
<blockquote><p>Anne Chamberlain of the <em>Idaho Observer </em>wrote a phenomenal column showing the twisted history of Dispensationalism and the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. Scofield’s involvement in “questionable financial transactions”<sup>548</sup>, jail time<sup>549</sup> and abandonment of his Catholic wife and children<sup>550</sup>,<sup>551</sup> have been corroborated by the author. [italics suspended]
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In 1767, a Chilean-born Catholic Priest, Manuel de Lacunza y Diaz came to Imola, Italy, when the Jesuits were expelled from Spain because of their brutality. There he claimed to be a converted Jew named Rabbi Juan Jushafat Ben-Ezra. Under that alias, he wrote a 900 page book titled, <em>The Coming of Messiah in Glory and Majesty</em>. Lacunza theorized that the Church would be taken to be with the Lord to escape the reign of Antichrist in the last 3-1/2 years of the age, some 45 days before Jesus’ final return to Earth. During that 45 days (while the Church was in heaven), God would pour out His wrath upon the wicked remaining on Earth.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In 1828, “Glory and Majesty” was translated into English by a radical cultist London preacher named Edward Irving. Lacunza’s views could have died there, for most in England saw Irving as a heretic.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">At the same time Margaret MacDonald from Port Glasgow, Scotland, claimed she received divine revelations from God about a rapture. According to MacPherson, Miss Margaret had occultic ties, including a friendship with a girl who was into psychic powers and automatic writing. She sent her vision in a letter to Irving and, shortly thereafter, her revelation showed up in print. In September, 1830, <em>The Morning Watch</em>, a periodical put out by Irving’s church, published, “Commentary on the Epistles to the Seven Churches in the Apocalypse.”<sup>(1)</sup> &#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">About the same time as Margaret Macdonald’s vision, John Nelson Darby was playing with the dispensationalist idea of dividing history into ages or “dispensations.” Many prophecy teachers of today credit John Darby with the origin of these teachings because he was a well-educated man who authored many books. In fact, Darby went to see Margaret and her family shortly after she gained notoriety for her vision, and in later years, claimed them as his own. &#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">On at least one occasion Darby went to Saint Louis and met with Presbyterian minister James H. Brookes (1830-1897), Scofield’s mentor and a key leader in the Niagara Bible Conferences. The conferences were held annually from 1876 to 1897, initially in different resort locations around the U.S. and, as of 1883 at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario—the Queen’s Royal Hotel. It was there that the fundamentalist movement was born and solidified. It then began to shape the Christian landscape in the United States and laid the foundation for “Premillennialism,” the foundation for Christian Zionists. &#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">At the outbreak of the American Civil War, Cyrus I. Scofield (1843-1921), a Michigan native, lied about his age in order to enlist in the Confederate Army in 1861, where he served in the 7th Tennessee infantry for a year.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In 1866 he married a Roman Catholic girl named Leontine Cerre. They had two girls, Abigail and Helene.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">According to sweetliberty.org<sup>(3)</sup>, as a young con-artist in Kansas after the Civil War, Scofield met up with John J. Ingalls, an aging Jewish lawyer/senator. Pulling strings both in Kansas and with his compatriots back east, Ingalls assisted Scofield in gaining admission to the Bar and procured his appointment as the federal attorney for Kansas. Scofield committed perjury when he took his oath, stating that he had never voluntarily borne arms against the United States. He was forced to resign after six months because of questionable financial transactions.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">By 1877, Scofield was making a living on swindles and schemes and writing bogus checks. Ingalls and Scofield became partners in a railroad scam which led to Scofield serving time for criminal forgery.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In 1879, while he was in prison, a group of Christian women who had a jail ministry witnessed to Scofield and he made a profession of faith in Christ. He then began to study the writings of John Darby and embraced Darby’s theology about the rapture and the need for Jews to resettle the land of Israel&#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In 1877, Scofield had deserted his first wife and his two daughters and left them destitute. According Wikipedia, this was “perhaps because of alcoholism,” but Joseph Canfield<sup>(3)</sup> asserts: “The very sudden quashing of the criminal charges without proper adjudication suggests that Scofield’s career was in the hands of someone who had clout never available to either Ingalls, Pomeroy, or anyone of the Choteau Clan. But, the career was to be of such a nature that Leontine, the Catholic wife, had to go.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Scofield then took as his mistress a young girl from the St. Louis Flower Mission. He later abandoned her for Hettie Hall von Wartz whom he married in 1884. Leontine filed for divorce in 1881, finalized in 1883, listing “abandonment” as a reason. ~ Anne Wilder Chamberlain, the Idaho Observer<sup>552</sup></p>
<p>Scofield craftily changed the Islamic invader of Israel—Magog (Ezekiel 38 &amp; 39)—into Russia. Although the Scythians, identified by Josephus as their descendents, eventually migrated to Ukraine and the Steppes of Russias this was only one stop in their historical heritage and they now live everywhere in the world. Their original home, however, is modern Turkey.<sup>553</sup>,<sup>554</sup></p>
<p>Jesuit priest Manuel Lacunza, a.k.a. “Juan Josafat Ben-Ezra” was, indeed, a principle theologian behind changing Protestant perceptions of the End Times and pulling Rome out of the spotlight and pushing Israel into it. ~ <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illuminati Unmasked</a></em> <span id='easy-footnote-1-3557' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-most-dangerous-anti-establishment-movement-in-history/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-3557' 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. 182-184'><sup>1</sup></a></span></blockquote>
<p>Preterism and Futurism are no different.</p>
<blockquote><p>With Rome so clearly depicted as the 4th and final Beast of both Daniel and Revelation, Jesuits needed to disconnect Christians from that interpretation and they used Preterism and Futurism to do it.</p>
<p>Preterism is the idea that most of prophecy has already taken place.  It was concocted by a Jesuit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Preterism was first advanced in 1604 by Jesuit Luis de Alcasar to destroy the Reformed Protestant teaching that the papacy was Mystery Babylon, the Great Whore and the historical Antichrist.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: right;">~ <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illuminati Unmasked</a></em> <span id='easy-footnote-2-3557' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-most-dangerous-anti-establishment-movement-in-history/#easy-footnote-bottom-2-3557' 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), p. 185'><sup>2</sup></a></span>
<p>Futurism is more appealing in that it acknowledges that much of prophecy is yet future but it distracts from the 4th Beast and paints the anti-Christ as a man who suddenly appears just before the Tribulation and who stands alone, apart from any organization or system.</p>
<p>It, too, was fabricated by a Jesuit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Francisco Ribera (1537-1591) of Salamanca, Spain, published a 500 page commentary on the grand points of Babylon and Antichrist, the object being to set aside the Protestant teaching that the Papacy is the Antichrist. In his commentary, he assigned the first chapters of Revelation to the first century.  The rest he restricted to a literal three and a half years a the end of time.  He taught that the Jewish temple would be rebuilt by a single individual antichrist who would abolish the Christian religion, deny Christ, pretend to be God, and conquer the world.<sup>8</sup></em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>According to Schaff:</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>The events of the Apocolypse from ch. 4 to the close lie beyond the second advent of Christ. &#8230; [he was joined by] Lacunza &#8230; another Jesuit, who wrote under the name of Ben-Ezra “On the coming of the Messiah in glory and majesty,” and taught premillennial advent&#8230;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Ribera’s commentary laid the foundation for the greta structure of <strong>Futurism</strong>, which would be built upon and expanded by those who followed.  Ribera’s teaching was further popularized by Robert Bellarmine (1544-0621), an Italian cardinal and the most renowned of all Jesuit controversialists.<sup>10</sup></em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>After accepting the Jesuits’ <strong>Futurist System </strong>(and the <strong>Preterist System</strong>&#8230;) millenarian Protestants no longer saw Rome as a present but only a distant future threat.<sup>11</sup>  We should also mention Irving’s system saw no hope of victory over the present forces of evil except “by the brightness of his coming” in the second advent. With no hope, why try to conquer all things for Christ? </em>~ <em>Death of the Church Victorious</em>, Ovid Need<sup>557</sup></p>

<p><strong>THE SOLUTION</strong></p>
<p>Centralization is the key to all satanic agendas.  It was attempted at the Tower of Babel but foiled by the confusing of tongues.</p>
<p>As long as Jesus Christ is not asserting His dominance over His Creation, <em>decentralization</em> is necessary; this includes the need for nations to be separate and for states, municipalities and communities to be separate.  It’s also why America has become a tyranny governed by a very small number of people.  All roads in America lead to Washington DC and Washington DC gets her marching orders from Rome.</p>
<p>As the final assertion of the Dragon’s authority, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Rome’s first Jesuit White Pope, addressed the American people from the Capitol Rotunda in late September of 2015.  He stood between two <em>fascii</em>.</p>
<p>Immediately behind Bergoglio were <a href="http://www.scranton.edu/about/presidents-office/honorary-degree-recipients.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesuit-recognized via honorary degree</a>, devout Catholic Joe Biden (“Democrat” leader of the Senate) and Jesuit-trained at Xavier, devout Catholic John Boehner (“Republican” leader of the House).  Behind them were two more <em>fascii</em>—a battle axe surrounded by a bundle of rods which symbolizes “rule of one”: Roman Fascism.  The <em>fascii</em> are wrapped in laurel; the ancient Roman symbol for victory by the sword.</p>

<p>Before Rome demanded that her pagans become Christians, she was viciously persecuting followers of The Way.</p>
<p>Christians were gathering in homes with friends and family, teaching each other the Scriptures and fellowshipping in love.</p>
<p><strong><em>We must return to this ideal if we are to be free</em></strong>&#8230;and we must learn this lesson fast as total oppression looms on our horizon.</p>
<p><strong>HOW TO</strong></p>
<p>Start by gathering friends and family on a day and time of your choosing.</p>
<p>Be unorthodox in how you make your selection so that you can maximize participation of anyone interested.</p>
<p>Traditionally, the Faithful have gathered on the Sabbath, but which day should that be?</p>
<p>Our beloved brethren in the Seventh Day Adventist movement are the sole remaining Protestants, diligently teaching the dangers of Rome, the Jesuits and their doctrines.</p>
<p>They are, however, needlessly legalistic and some are quite fanatical about a Saturday Sabbath.  Such legalism is unbiblical—</p>
<blockquote><p>One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike.  Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.  He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.  For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.  For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.</p>
<p>But you, why do you judge your brother?  Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt?  For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. ~ Romans 14:5-10</p></blockquote>
<p>What is important is that all you do, especially if observing a Sabbath, you do to enrich your relationship with Jesus Christ.  There is no other purpose in any Christian activity for Christ is the substance of all we do—</p>
<blockquote><p>Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day<span id='easy-footnote-4-3557' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'></span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https://johnnycirucci.com/the-most-dangerous-anti-establishment-movement-in-history/#easy-footnote-bottom-4-3557' title='Our Adventist brethren have an excellent criticism here that “Sabbath day” is mistranslated by most versions and should be “Sabbath days” which attempts to separate holy feast days from a weekly Sabbath.  I feel this is an unnecessary stretch and validation of their legalism but each must move according to their own conscience.'><sup>4</sup></a></span>—things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. ~ Colossians 2:16-17</p></blockquote>
<p>Share responsibility for teaching and encourage those who aren’t comfortable to teach anyway.  There is no better way to learn the Scriptures then when you must teach them.</p>
<p>Also, by sharing the teaching responsibility, new people can bring new perspectives based upon where their passions and current focuses lie.</p>
<p>Make sure you include worship.  It’s as easy as pulling up songs on the computer complete with lyrics for everyone to sing to.  Many can be found as videos on the internet.</p>
<p>Perhaps most importantly is fellowship and encouragement.  There will be debates but never let them turn into arguments.  Only when someone questions a foundational tenet of Salvation should they be confronted.  All other concerns can be ended with “Let’s agree to disagree.”</p>
<p>As an Italian, I’d like to recommend what early Believers did: share food and drink!  Nothing breaks the ice like breaking bread.</p>
<p>If you get so big that you’re bothering neighbors it’s time to break up into smaller groups.  Christian persecution in the West will be here soon enough without rabble rousers mislabeling news to maximize anger and paranoia.  Very often, stories about governments shutting down Bible studies are nothing more than Christians being ignorant with gatherings that have grown to <a href="http://watchdog.org/142488/faiirfax-home-assemblies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">become a public nuisance</a>.</p>
<p>Trust me, when persecution comes, you won’t want everyone in town knowing what you’re up to.</p>
<p>In the meantime, fight the Machine: stay at home.  Study, worship and fellowship free from the chains of the Dragon the way Christ intended&#8230;and be responsible for your <em>own</em> soul!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some Christian scholars (myself included) consider Orthodoxy as the second leg of iron in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+2&amp;version=NKJV">Daniel 2</a>.</p>
<p>If so, the two legs have been at war since their splitting within the Holy Roman Empire.</p>
<p>For generations, the Papacy has sought to co-opt Orthodoxy with both the carrot and the stick.  She will frequently hold up various meetings with Orthodox Patriarchs as proof that she has won—</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QwSKTorf1u0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>But this only proves that, despite Orthodoxy being <em>heavily</em> infiltrated with Jesuit operatives like “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/zionget">Brother Nathaneal</a>” she does NOT have a lock on controlling her sister.</p>
<p>Rightly do our Russian brothers and sisters distrust anything from America.  Milton Kapner, a.k.a. “Brother Nathaneal”, is no different.  How a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Jew ends up as an Orthodox priest preaching constant hatred of Jews via an extremely popular YouTube channel from Moscow can only be explained with three letters: CIA (which stands for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290">“Catholic Intelligence Agency”</a>).</p>
<p>Kapner is no different than another fabricated Papal/Intelligence asset, Anwar al Awlaki, the CIA lackey.</p>
<p>Al Awlaki wasn’t born in Pakistan or Iraq, he was born in good ole New Mexico, USA.  Where else do all vicious jihadis come from?  He even had a mosque in Virginia and dined at the Pentagon 2 weeks after 9/11.  He’s been the central figure in everything from the underwear bomber to <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/disturbing-evidence-of-manipulation-surrounds-both-fort-hood-mass-shootings/">the Fort Hood shooting</a>&#8230;the first one.</p>
<blockquote><p>As imam at a mosque in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falls_Church,_Virginia">Falls Church, Virginia</a> (2001–02), al-Awlaki spoke with and preached to three of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijackers_in_the_September_11_attacks">9/11 hijackers</a>, who were al-Qaeda members.<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki#cite_note-how-21">[21]</a></sup>  In 2001, he presided at the funeral of the mother of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nidal_Malik_Hasan">Nidal Malik Hasan</a>, an Army psychiatrist who later e-mailed him extensively in 2008–09 before the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Fort_Hood_shooting">Fort Hood shootings</a>.<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki#cite_note-cant_wait-22">[22]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki#cite_note-confidant-23">[23]</a></sup>  During al-Awlaki’s later radical period after 2006–07, when he went into hiding, he was associated with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umar_Farouk_Abdulmutallab">Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab</a>, who attempted the 2009 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Airlines_Flight_253">Christmas Day bombing</a> of an American airliner.<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki#cite_note-jet_terror-24">[24]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki#cite_note-CBS_News_World-25">[25]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki#cite_note-US_born-26">[26]</a></sup>  Al-Awlaki was allegedly involved in planning Abdulmutallab’s attack. ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Certainly, someone like that could be a wealth of information, either of supposed terror plots or of collusion between “terrorists” and our own intelligence agencies.</p>
<p>Sadly, he’s beyond our reach as he was (apparently) killed by a drone strike conducted in Yemen without Yemeni permission and without due process for the execution of an American citizen.</p>
<blockquote><p>It was the culmination of years of [“]painstaking[”] intelligence work, intense deliberation by lawyers working for <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/o/barack_obama/index.html?inline=nyt-per">[“]President[”] Obama</a> and turf fights between the Pentagon and the C.I.A., whose parallel drone wars converged on the killing grounds of Yemen.  For what was apparently the first time since the Civil War, the United States government had carried out the deliberate killing of an American citizen as a wartime enemy and without a trial.</p>
<p>Eighteen months later, despite the Obama administration’s effort to keep it cloaked in secrecy, the decision to hunt and kill Mr. Awlaki has become the subject of new public scrutiny and debate, touched off by <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/08/us/politics/counterterror-adviser-to-be-named-chief-of-cia.html">the nomination of John O. Brennan</a>, Mr. Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, to be head of the C.I.A.</p>
<p>The leak last month of an unclassified Justice Department “white paper” summarizing the administration’s abstract legal arguments — prepared months after the Awlaki and Khan killings amid an internal debate over how much to disclose — has ignited demands for even greater transparency, culminating last week in <a href="http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/06/rand-paul-does-not-go-quietly-into-the-night/">a 13-hour Senate filibuster</a> that temporarily delayed Mr. Brennan’s confirmation.  Some wondered aloud: If the president can order the assassination of Americans overseas, based on secret intelligence, what are the limits to his power? ~ <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/10/world/middleeast/anwar-al-awlaki-a-us-citizen-in-americas-cross-hairs.html?_r=0">Mark Mazzetti, Charlie Savage and Scott Shane, NY Times</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Don’t worry!  John O. “Drone Executioner” Brennan, educated by the Jesuits at Fordham, was indeed confirmed.  In fact he was sworn in, not by “President” Obama, but by “President” Obama’s mafioso handler (another good Catholic); Joseph “Plugs” Biden&#8230;on a <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/brennan-takes-oath-constitution-without-bill-rights-205110620.html">Constitution minus the Bill of Rights</a>.</p>

<p>It’s no stretch to imagine that Milton “Brother Nathaneal” Kapner has a similar, sinister, secret lineage.</p>
<p>Sadly, the “IT’S THE JEWS!” ploy has worked extremely well in Russia, thanks to the elevating of puppet Jews again and again to positions of prominence by the Roman Knight of Malta bankers and masters.  “The Family” of oligarchs that ruled Russia and still rule in Ukraine are mostly Jews installed by the Papists for an extremely effective smokescreen.  Very few Russians know of the extreme hatred the Vatican has for Russia and Russian Orthodoxy but it encompasses everything from the repeated assassinations of the Romanovs to the “October Revolution” that ushered in a Georgian Jesuit priest named Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili.  He was used by the Papacy to slaughter forty <em>million</em> good Russians and Ukrainians (many of them were starved to death) and many more were enslaved and imprisoned.  You knew him as “Joseph Stalin”.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290">Read my book.</a></p>
<p>The renewing of the Cold War has been part of the Papal “strategy of containment” dreamed up by another Catholic Intelligence insurgent, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a dear friend of another devout Polish Catholic, Karol Wojtyla.</p>
<p>Wojtyla was a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Behold-Horse-Milton-William-Cooper/dp/0929385225/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1454849963&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=behold+of+pale+horse">key figure behind putting</a> cyanide and Zykon B into the hands of the Nazis to help efficiently slaughter as many Jews as the West would give them time for (and <a href="http://www.thefreelibrary.com/America%2c+the+Holocaust%2c+and+The+Abandonment+of+the+Jews.-a0136342697">they certainly did what they could</a>), but you knew him better as “Pope John Paul II”.</p>
<p>From Ioseb dze Jughashvili (“of the Jewish people”) to Moses Mordecai Marx Levy (“Karl Marx”), the Papacy and her satanic Special Forces, the Jesuits, have picked Jews to hide behind to conduct their despicable agendas again and again.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, though, when it comes to outing a Jesuit/CIA agent like “Brother Nathaneal”, we have the hard work of “Pastor Steven Anderson”, a clown himself.</p>
<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz8g3fArSNY</p>
<p>Anderson is a Jesuit priest whose mission it is to lampoon proud, independent American Protestants and to “blow cover as cover” for himself and Kapner by muddying the waters with his antics.</p>
<p>It’s all part of the web of lies woven by the Jesuits that is so ruthless it included a “Superior General” who sacrificed hundreds of loyal priests to imprisonment and death just to attain more power.</p>
<p>I got into this somewhat in a previous column on another “Protestant” imposter, <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/hank-hanegraaff-the-papal-answer-man/">Hank Hanegraaff, the Papal Answer Man</a>.</p>
<p>In spite of all of this, there is hope for Russia and for the East.</p>
<p>Although Orthodoxy is no less a veil than Catholicism in achieving the personal relationship with Jesus Christ which saves souls, its resurgence since the fall of Communism has sparked a renewed adherence to Christian virtues in Russia.</p>
<p>As the Founder of the Christian Faith has already told us, <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/ukraines-pro-russian-separatists-fight-for-christ/">“He who is not against us, is for us.”</a> (Mark 9:40, Luke 9:50)</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well over a year ago, I was <em>thoroughly</em> entrenched in what I have now come to call “mainstream alternative news”—listening to all of the radio shows, podcasts and youtube videos I could find to help stay abreast of the latest threat to what’s left of my beloved America.</p>
<p>I was very active and had done a lot of blogging but with little to show for it.</p>
<p>Part of the reason was that every time I reached out to someone in “mainstream alternative ‘Christian’ news” I was either ignored or pushed off.</p>
<p>I think <em>every</em> supposed Christian operation should take special care to have the mechanisms in place to correspond with their audience but even more so when a published author writes and says “I have the answers to all your questions!”</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Unmasked-Everything-about-World/dp/1506156290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illuminati Unmasked</a></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>After getting just such a response from Rick Wiles and “TruNews” I put 2 and 2 together and came up with 666.</p>

<p>I was, however, able to make a connection with <em>another</em> published author who was extremely gracious in responding and, in fact, said, “Hey, why don’t I give you a call?”</p>
<p>Well that was a pleasant surprise.  I guess this guy was actually living his walk.</p>
<p>Since then he and I have put each other on our e-mail lists and I’ve had several earth-shattering awakenings but he’s stayed the same guy he was when we talked a year ago.</p>
<p>I’m really quite frustrated.  I’ve spoken to him on the phone once or twice since then and tried to share with him what I’ve learned but it hasn’t been reflected in anything he’s done so I get the feeling that my warnings are falling on deaf ears.</p>
<p>Recently he was kind enough to include me in a mass e-mail with other key names in our field which turned out to be a letter to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal regarding LA funding of Planned Parenthood.</p>
<p>I knew from the start it was a waste of time but did anyone else really know why?</p>
<p>That pushed me to write this:</p>
<hr />
<p>XXXXX;</p>
<p>I hate to see you needlessly spinning your wheels, sending e-mails with no effect so let me provide you with some answers.</p>
<p>I deeply appreciate you trying to give voice to the silent screams of the unborn; slaughtered in manners that are <a href="http://www.prolife.com/ABORMETH.html">nothing short of Mengele-esque</a> and literally satanic.</p>
<p>That should not be a surprise as the forces that control America actually do worship satan and <em>feed</em> off of the horrors they commit upon the most innocent—</p>

<p>This is what they have always done—</p>
<blockquote><p>“&#8230;you took your sons and daughters whom you had borne to Me and sacrificed them to idols to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter?  You slaughtered My children and offered them up to idols by causing them to pass through the fire.  Besides all your abominations and harlotries you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood.  “Then it came about after all your wickedness (‘Woe, woe to you!’ declares the L-rd G-d), that you built yourself a shrine and made yourself a high place in every square.” ~ Ezekiel 16:20-24</p></blockquote>
<p>Today, that “high place” is Washington DC where the Phallus of Osiris (cunningly mis-named “the Washington Monument”) faces the Womb of Isis (which we know as the Capitol Rotunda).</p>

<p>Governor Jindal, a good New Orleans Roman Catholic, must obey his masters and they are <em>not</em> the American people nor does he honor his oath to protect and serve the United States Constitution.</p>
<p>Bobby Jindal bows to Rome, just as <em>all</em> American rulers and puppets do.</p>
<p>Americans are fools who think that empowering Republicans brings us off of the suicide train we’re on because <em>both</em> sides are completely controlled by an enemy who hates us beyond our comprehension.</p>
<p>In 2010, the House gavel was passed from Nancy Pelosi to John Boehner.  Pelosi’s reign was marked by her rabid, far-Left, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, anti-American agenda.  She was trained by the President of San Francisco University, Stephen J. Privett—a Jesuit.</p>

<p>John Boehner was <em>educated</em> by Jesuits at Xavier University and installed the first <em>Jesuit</em> as House Chaplain, Patrick J. Conroy.</p>
<p>When Pelosi gave up her position, it was a joyous occasion for all in the know.</p>

<p>Barack Hussein Obama is <em>also</em> Jesuit-trained, taught how to be a good Communist “community organizer” by <em>his</em> mentor Greg Galluzzo.</p>
<blockquote><p>Mr. Kellman ended his day at the Gamaliel Foundation with Gregory Galluzzo, its executive director who had been Mr. Obama’s organizing consultant back in the day.</p>
<p>They discussed public education projects though, as Mr. Galluzzo noted, it’s still all about “getting people into the political and social decisions affecting their lives and taking control,” whether it’s a bad school principal or immigration. ~ <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/us/17cncwarren.html?_r=0">James Warren, NY Times</a></p></blockquote>
<p>You’d think “MISTER” Galluzzo being a Jesuit priest (<a href="http://www.wnd.com/2008/10/78217/">listed here by WorldNetDaily</a> as a “<em>former</em>” Jesuit but there’s no such thing—only EX-Jesuits who usually end up dead) would’ve been noteworthy to a NY Times reporter but, for some reason, the word “Jesuit” never came up in the piece, nor does it <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamaliel_Foundation">in the Wikipedia entry</a> on the so-called “Gamaliel Foundation”.</p>
<p>What does a famous Jewish expositor have to do with Communism and “community organizing”?  NOTHING!  It’s just the usual false Jewish mask that is placed on all of the Vatican’s malignant machinations.</p>
<p>It’s the very reason why there are three token hard-Left Jews now sitting on the Supreme Court—all the rest of the black-robed insurgent traitors are CATHOLIC.</p>
<p>After Chief Justice John Roberts proved that he was a high traitor who worked for Rome by claiming that the Communist takeover of America’s healthcare system by a cabal of Democrats was “Constitutional” he quipped that he needed to retreat to the <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/235707-roberts-jokes-about-vacationing-on-a-impregnable-island-fortress">“Island Fortress of Malta”</a> where he was doubtlessly crowned a defender of the Catholic Communist Order; a <em>Knight</em> of Malta.</p>
<p>Roberts is a member of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Their-Kingdom-Come-Inside-Secret/dp/0312357605">the Catholic secret society of Opus Dei</a>, just like former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who gave convicted Penn State pedophile Jerry Sandusky <a href="http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2011/11/09/santorum-angel-award-for-psus-sandusky/">a “Congressional Angels in Adoption Award”</a> for all of the great work he was doing via his “Second Mile Foundation”—it was that very foundation that Sandusky was using as a front group to peddle young boys to America’s Luciferian Elite.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/jerry-sandusky-donors-2011-11"><strong>SHOCKING PENN STATE RUMOR: Jerry Sandusky “Pimped Out Young Boys To Rich Donors”</strong></a>, Tony Manfred, Business Insider</p></blockquote>
<p>Philadelphia Prosecutor Ray Gricar was on the Sandusky case in the 1990’s, <a href="http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/DA-Who-Never-Charged-Sandusky-Has-Been-Missing-Since-2005-133615093.html">but then he “disappeared”</a>.</p>
<p>Penn State head coach Joe Paterno was linked to both Opus Dei <a href="http://spitfirelist.com/news/its-easier-to-develop-a-child-than-to-rehabilitate-an-adult-part-2/">and the Bush administration</a>.  It was under Bush President #41’s leadership back in the 1980’s that young boys were brought to Washington for exploitation and sex slavery.  Don’t worry, there was an investigation over how credit cards were used to pay some of the pimps off.</p>
<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVME6xtwwA8&#038;</p>
<p>Although a small handful of authors and investigators know what happened in Omaha, Nebraska regarding the trafficking of young boys (now called “the Franklin Coverup”) what most don’t know is that <a href="http://www.salem-news.com/articles/december292012/boys-town-scandal-tk.php">the scandal originated in the Catholic</a> home for orphaned boys known as “Boys Town”.</p>
<p>Penn State was quick to do an investigation of their own.  The university somehow had the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/psu-taps-ex-fbi-director-freeh-investigation-152420920.html">clout to hire former Director</a> of the FBI Louis J. Freeh.</p>
<p>It was quite fortuitous for them that Freeh was also a Knight of Columbus and a member <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&amp;address=104x1628441">of Opus Dei as well</a>.</p>
<p>As pedophilia investigations leak out around the world, they all have one central theme—<a href="http://spitfirelist.com/news/its-easier-to-develop-a-child-than-to-rehabilitate-an-adult-how-many-child-molestation-investigations-overlap/">all roads lead to Rome</a>.</p>

<p>You have to understand, XXXXX, that Rome controls both America’s traitors and the frauds who supposedly investigate them.  They try to cover their tracks but they can’t control EVERY story that comes out;</p>
<blockquote><p>Opus Dei cares about attracting Ivy League grads.  Its Tenley Learning Center in upscale Northwest Washington has a highly regarded SAT-program.</p>
<p>The order is closely affiliated with two well-regarded Catholic schools in the Washington suburbs, The Heights (all-boys) and Oakcrest (all-girls).  “We’re out to change the world,” says Barbara Faulk, the headmistress of Oakcrest.  “But we’re not shrouded in something weird.” Louis Freeh-like Bob Hanssen-sends a son to the Heights. Many parents of the Opus Dei schools worship at St. Catherine of Siena in Great Falls, Va., an orthodox Catholic church that still offers a Latin mass. Parishioners include Freeh and Justice Scalia.</p>
<p>Scalia is regarded as the embodiment of the Catholic conservatives. He is careful not to be seen mixing politics and religion, but his faith clearly influences his work on the high court.  While he is not a member of Opus Dei, his wife Maureen has attended Opus Dei’s “spiritual functions,” says an Opus Dei member.  Scalia’s son, Father Paul Scalia, helped convert Clarence Thomas to Catholicism four years ago. Last month, Thomas gave a fiery speech at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, to an audience full of Bush Administration officials. In the speech, Thomas praised Pope John Paul II for taking unpopular stands.  The conservative Catholics in the audience agreed with every word Thomas said. ~ <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/washingtons-quiet-club-149005">Evan Thomas, Newsweek</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Do you remember Robert Hanssen?  He was the FBI agent that gave a treasure-trove of intelligence to the Soviet Union to help keep them up to par with the United States—can’t have a fake Cold War unless the two sides are really a danger to each other.</p>
<p>Hanssen was “nabbed” by Catholic whiz-kid Eric M. O’Neill who was selected by the Jesuits in high school then given a safe, secular college education (just like Karl Marx).</p>
<blockquote><p>O’Neill graduated from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzaga_College_High_School">Gonzaga College High School</a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a> in 1991 and earned a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Arts">B.A.</a>, with honors, in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_science">political science</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology">psychology</a> from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auburn_University">Auburn University</a> in 1995, where he was a brother of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_Xi">Theta Xi</a> fraternity.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_O%27Neill#cite_note-off-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_O%27Neill#cite_note-ocm-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_O%27Neill#cite_note-linkedin-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> ~ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_O%27Neill">Wikipedia</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The <a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/illuminati-revealed/">Jesuits <em>invented</em> Communism</a> and have been wielding it ever since to punish <em>both</em> Russia and America and, really, the entire world.</p>
<p>But when what they were doing became blatantly obvious—having put Communist agents in every level of American government—it became necessary to create a clownish anti-Communist Inquisitor to give them all cover and who better to do that than Irish Catholic Joe McCarthy at the behest of his Jesuit handler Edmund Walsh (the Company man who screened Rome from her involvement in <a href="https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/bitstream/handle/10822/559013/GTM.GAMMS239.html?sequence=1#ref1366">the 3<sup>rd</sup> Reich at Nuremburg</a>).</p>
<blockquote><p>On the day that McCarthyism was born, and unseasonably warm spell was broken in Washington, D.C.  It was January 7, 1950, and record-breaking temperatures—on the 6th it had reached 72 degrees—gave way to a return of winter cold. Winds announcing the cold front blew through the city at 40 mph, causing minor damage to a couple trees and a storefront window.</p>
<p>That night, a meeting took place at the Colony restaurant, a four-star establishment in downtown Washington. Attending were four men: Georgetown University politics professor Charles Kraus, attorney William A. Roberts, Fr. Edmund A. Walsh, a Jesuit and the head of Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service, and Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy.</p>
<p>Of the four men, of course, the most notorious is Senator McCarthy.  Since his downfall in 1954 McCarthy has gone from politician to alcoholic fiend, an all-purpose chimera for anyone warning against everything from illegal searches to mildly aggressive questioning.  But the perhaps the more important man to history on the night of January 7 was Edmund Walsh, the Georgetown Jesuit.</p>
<p>Unlike McCarthy, Walsh is forgotten to history. ~ <a href="http://spectator.org/articles/48284/joe-mccarthys-jesuit">Mark Judge, The American Spectator</a></p></blockquote>
<p>*hmmm*  “Forgotten” or <strong><em>erased</em></strong>?</p>
<p>I’ll vote for the latter.</p>
<p>This information is out there, if you dig for it, and if you fear the Lord Jesus Christ <em>more</em> than you fear the entity behind all this.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #800000;">&#8230;fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell.</span> ~ Matthew 10:28</p></blockquote>
<p>Whether or not my friends pick this up and run with it, only time will tell (but, understand, time is running out).</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-TEu1]"><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><strong>SEPARATED <em>BY</em> BIRTH</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery-TEu1]"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-2917" src="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith.jpg" alt="The Prophet and Joseph Smith" width="385" height="232" srcset="https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith.jpg 718w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-150x90.jpg 150w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-300x181.jpg 300w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-24x14.jpg 24w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-36x22.jpg 36w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-48x29.jpg 48w, https://johnnycirucci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Prophet-and-Joseph-Smith-400x241.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px" /></a>It is interesting to note that both Joseph Smith and Muhammad claimed that they were visited by “angels” and that their critics accused them (both then and now) of poorly fabricating religions that were loosely based on Judeo/Christian traditions and Scriptures for the very earthly purpose of personal lust, greed and aggrandizement.  Certainly, that <em>is</em> what both men achieved in their lifetimes (as well as ignoble ends).</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>
<p><strong>THE SILVER SPOON ALTERNATIVE: ALREADY CHOSEN FOR YOU</strong></p>
<p>So where does that leave us?  <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/07/02/Mitt-Quit-Now-If-You-Wont-Fight">Will Mitt Romney save the day?</a></p>
<p>If you’re a bit cynical about the <a href="http://www.acus.org/content/bush-obama-hug-inauguration-photo">never-ending cycle of Republicrats and Demicans</a>, I’m afraid the answer is a resounding “NO!”</p>

<p>It would appear that <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/01/20/timep.affirm.action.tm/">there is a Ruling Class</a> that has a death-grip on the throats of Americans and they’re <a href="http://www.nysun.com/editorials/ron-pauls-90-seconds/87564/">not about to allow an outsider to loosen it.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2012/02/mitt-romney-201202">Vanity Fair did an interesting piece</a> on the background of Romney, how his well-to-do, 3-time-governor-of-Michigan father <em>also</em> ran for the presidency and how son-of-Romney was living out a pre-planned destiny: <em>“His whole life,” said John Wright, a close family friend, “was following a pattern which had been laid out by his dad.”</em></p>
<p>Although I consider Ron Paul’s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKfuS6gfxPY">“China-is-Iran-is-America” foreign policy</a> downright childish, he <a href="http://www.businesspundit.com/the-25-most-vicious-iraq-war-profiteers/">clearly sees and articulates</a> all of our <a href="http://www.thenation.com/blog/156794/feds-backdoor-bailout-provided-33-trillion-loans-banks-corporations">most dangerous problems</a> up front, while most other politicians either ignore or <a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/john-boehner-to-halt-fast-and-furious-investigation-sell-out-to-holder-and-white-house/">willfully obfuscate them</a> (dare we call it “treason”?).  Perhaps that’s one of the reasons I was so disappointed when his level-headed son, Senator Rand Paul (R, KY) <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/hannity/2012/06/08/sen-rand-paul-gov-romney-right-there-us">“happily” endorsed son-of-Romney</a> highlighting that very thing, “Both our dads ran for the presidency.”  Sean Hannity found it hard to contain his Machine-sponsored glee, but I (<a href="http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/06/ron-paul-supporters-are-fuming-mad-rand-paul/53336/">and many other supporters</a>) was less than enthused.  I do understand that he was making a calculated move to back away from <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/ron-paul-supporter-has-fingers-broken-at-contested-louisiana-gop-convention?cid=db_articles">what appeared to be</a> a <a href="http://articles.businessinsider.com/2012-04-27/politics/31419425_1_romney-delegates-delegate-total-ron-paul">losing campaign his father was running</a> in order to <a href="http://reason.com/blog/2012/06/13/rand-paul-explainsdefends-his-mitt-romne">gain vital concessions</a> with the presumptive winner, but is this the <em>best</em> way to save America?</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-nQPv]"><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>.

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 />

<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. So Mormon women can never, NEVER achieve equality with men, no matter how outstanding or righteous the women are.

<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-nQPv]"><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>
