This is the end of the eschaton and the beginning of the eternal recreated heavens and the earth and will begin when Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ returns from heaven in the same flesh He rose with and ascended into the third heaven with, seated at the right hand of the Father. His return will be with all of His elect angels. He will raise and judge all men in the flesh and then recreate the heavens and the earth, which in that state will last that way for eternity. There will NOT be any sin in the new heavens and earth, so prepare now by confessing the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and be baptized as commanded above and shown how to baptize below and live Holy and Godly lives in sincerity and humility and meekness waiting for the Lord when He returns so that we are not like the five foolish virgins but are like the five wise virgins.</i></span><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize the one to be baptized into Jesus Christ in "the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," in running water. But if you have no running water, baptize into other water [still water]; and if you cannot do so in cold water, do so in warm. But if you have neither, pour out water three times upon the head onto the one to be baptized saying at that time "in the name of Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." But before the baptism, if possible, let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whoever else can; but you shall order the baptized [when there is time] to fast one or two days before. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Baptism can and should always be performed immediately when there is danger of death of the one to be baptized. For instance, impending martyrdom or possible death causing illness.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">12 And he executed all the power of the former beast in his sight. And he caused the earth and them that dwell therein to adore the first beast, whose wound to death was healed. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 13: 3,4</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">13 And he did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto the earth, in the sight of men.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">14 And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, for the signs which were given him to do in the sight of the beast: saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make the image of the beast which had the wound by the sword and lived.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">15 And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast: and that the image of the beast should speak: and should cause that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast should be slain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">16 And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character [3] in their right hand or on their foreheads: … Scripture reference – Rev.: 14:9; 20:4</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">17 And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 14:11!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six. [4] … Scripture reference – Rev.: 17:9</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">(DRV)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">[1] -Ver. 1. The picture of the first beast is based on the seventh chapter of Daniel. This beast is the figure of the kingdoms of the world, kingdoms founded on passion and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">selfishness, which in every age are antagonistic to Christ and seek to oppress the ,servants of God. Imperial <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Rome</st1:place></st1:city> represents this power.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">[2] -Ver. 10. The weapons of the saints are faith and patience; they must accept sufferings and persecution as Christ did His cross.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">[3] -Ver. 16. Character (mark): as slaves received a brand or a mark in their flesh, indicating to whom they belonged, so in the spiritual conflict there is on the side of good and of evil a</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">brand or mark. <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">St. Paul</st1:place></st1:city> spoke of such marks in his own body that proved him a slave of Jesus Christ [Gal. 6, 17]. So the false prophet seeks to, impress a mark on all. What this mark is will be manifested in its time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">[4] -Ver. 18. Six hundred and sixty-six: the original type of the number is that it represents the name Caesar Neron, which in Hebrew characters make up the number 666. (Hebrew words read right to left) — Hebrew letters for Kaiser (Caesar) Neron (Nero) = nrwn ksr = (Hebrew in parentheses) 100 (Kop)+ 60 (Samek)+ 200 (Res)+ 50 (Nun)+ 200 (Res)+ 6 (Waw)+ 50 (Nun) = 666. {Additional source for nrwn ksr and each numeric equivalent: The Anchor Bible Dictionary volume IV – page 1145.} The final Gematria/Isosephia alpha-numeric name is known to God. It symbolizes extreme imperfection, for each digit is one short of seven, the number that signifies perfection; it tells us, as the Church Fathers and Doctors all agree, prophetically, of the name the Antichrist will bear. The Fathers concur emphatically that the number is 666 and not 616 as some corrupt manuscripts mistakenly read.</span></div>

The final fulfillment will be: the <b>False Prophet which is the Beast from the Earth</b>, and the <b>Antichrist which is the Beast from the Sea</b>. In a finer exegesis, the <b>False Prophet</b> in the rebuilt temple with the <b>Antichrist</b> and the two of them commanding the world to worship <b>Satan</b> by allegiance to the <b>Antichrist</b> will be the <b>two horns on the Second Beast</b> (the <b>Beast from the Earth</b>) during the three and one half year public period (forty two months) of horrid persecution of the saints who will not bow to the<b>Antichrist</b>. (Revelation 13:5 <i>And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do, two and forty months.</i>) Those who bow to the <b>Antichrist</b> and take his mark will be damned forever. In opposition to the<b> two horns of perdition</b> (the <b>Antichrist</b> and the <b>False Prophet</b>) whose only purpose will be to lead people who reject the saving grace of Christ to damnation, God will send the two witnesses (St. Enoch and St. Elijah who will return to earth alive - they have never died, but they will, see Revelation Chapter 11) to warn people not to have anything to do with<b> the Antichrist and the False Prophet</b>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">NOTE: That the <b>Antichrist</b> (from apostate Judaism which is the <b>First Beast</b>) and the <b>False Prophet </b>(from apostate Christianity which is the <b>Second Beast</b>) both ride to power in the passage of scripture above, Revelation 13th Chapter, and the exegesis of the Church Fathers below, on the <b>Second Beast</b>, specifically Papism in the false council Vatican II apostate sense. Vatican II's Nostrae Aetate is the prime document of Apostasy in this Judas Goat deceiving of people. As the scripture states explicitly: Revelation 13:15 <i>And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast: and that the image of the beast should speak: and should cause that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast should be slain.</i> It is the the <b>Second Beast</b>with the <b>two horns</b> that commands people be killed for not taking the <b>Mark of the Beast. Taking the Mark will irrevocably damn everyone who takes it. It is BOTH of the two horns, both the False Prophet and the Antichrist, who command the death sentence on those who will not take the Mark of the Beast. The false prophets of Vatican II are already headed for and will actively be part of killing the faithful to Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">49. By the beast, then, coming up out of the earth, he means the <st1:place st="on"><st1:placetype st="on">kingdom</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename st="on"><b>Antichrist</b></st1:placename></st1:place>; <b>and by the two horns he means him and the false prophet with him.</b><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-05/footnote/fn35.htm#P3575_1123831">109</a> And in speaking of "the horns being like a lamb," he means that he will make himself like the Son of God, and set himself forward as king. And the terms, "he spake like a dragon," mean that he is a deceiver, and not truthful. And the words, "he exercised all the power of the first beast before him, and caused the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed," signify that, after the manner of the law of Augustus, by whom the empire of Rome was established, he too will rule and govern, sanctioning everything by it, and taking greater glory to himself. For this is the fourth beast, whose head was wounded and healed again, in its being broken up or even dishonoured, and partitioned into four crowns; and he then (Antichrist) shall with knavish skill heal it, as it were, and restore it. For this is what is meant by the prophet when he says, "He will give life unto the image, and the image of the beast will speak." For he will act with vigour again, and prove strong by reason of the laws established by him; and he will cause all those who will not worship the image of the beast to be put to death. Here the faith and the patience of the saints will appear, for he says: "And he will cause all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead; that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name." For, being full of guile, and exalting himself against the servants of God, with the wish to afflict them and persecute them out of the world, because they give not glory to him, he will order incense-pans<a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-05/footnote/fn35.htm#P3576_1125710">110</a> to be set up by all everywhere, that no man among the saints may be able to buy or sell without first sacrificing; for this is what is meant by the mark received upon the right hand. And the word-"in their forehead"-indicates that all are crowned, and put on a crown of fire, and not of life, but of death. For in this wise, too, did Antiochus Epiphanes the king of <st1:country -region="-region" st="on"><st1:place st="on">Syria</st1:place></st1:country>, the descendant of Alexander of Macedon, devise measures against the Jews. He, too, in the exaltation of his heart, issued a decree in those times, that "all should set up shrines before their doors, and sacrifice, and that they should march in procession to the honour of Dionysus, waving chaplets of ivy; "and that those who refused obedience should be put to death by strangulation and torture. But he also met his due recompense at the hand of the Lord, the righteous Judge and all-searching God; for he died eaten up of worms. And if one desires to inquire into that more accurately, he will find it recorded in the books of the Maccabees.<a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-05/footnote/fn35.htm#P3577_1126902">111</a></span></span></span></div>

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death: and his death’s wound was healed. And all the earth was in admiration after the beast. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 13:12; 17:8<br />
4 And they adored the dragon which gave power to the beast. And they adored the beast, saying: Who is like to the beast? And who shall be able to fight with him? … Scripture reference – Rev.: 13:12; 17:8<br />
5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do, two and forty months.<br />
6 And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven.<br />
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And power was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 11:7!; 12:17<br />

18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six. [4] … Scripture reference – Rev.: 17:9<br />
(DRV)</div><div class="MsoNormal">[1] -Ver. 1. The picture of the first beast is based on the seventh chapter of Daniel. This beast is the figure of the kingdoms of the world, kingdoms founded on passion and<br />
selfishness, which in every age are antagonistic to Christ and seek to oppress the ,servants of God. Imperial <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Rome</st1:place></st1:city> represents this power.<br />
[2] -Ver. 10. The weapons of the saints are faith and patience; they must accept sufferings and persecution as Christ did His cross.<br />
[3] -Ver. 16. Character (mark): as slaves received a brand or a mark in their flesh, indicating to whom they belonged, so in the spiritual conflict there is on the side of good and of evil a<br />
brand or mark. <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">St. Paul</st1:place></st1:city> spoke of such marks in his own body that proved him a slave of Jesus Christ [Gal. 6, 17]. So the false prophet seeks to, impress a mark on all. What this mark is will be manifested in its time.<br />
[4] -Ver. 18. Six hundred and sixty-six: the original type of the number is that it represents the name Caesar Neron, which in Hebrew characters make up the number 666. (Hebrew words read right to left) — Hebrew letters for Kaiser (Caesar) Neron (Nero) = nrwn ksr = (Hebrew in parentheses) 100 (Kop)+ 60 (Samek)+ 200 (Res)+ 50 (Nun)+ 200 (Res)+ 6 (Waw)+ 50 (Nun) = 666. {Additional source for nrwn ksr and each numeric equivalent: The Anchor Bible Dictionary volume IV – page 1145.} The final Gematria/Isosephia alpha-numeric name is known to God. It symbolizes extreme imperfection, for each digit is one short of seven, the number that signifies perfection; it tells us, as the Church Fathers and Doctors all agree, prophetically, of the name the Antichrist will bear. The Fathers concur emphatically that the number is 666 and not 616 as some corrupt manuscripts mistakenly read.</div><br />
<div>Syncretist <a href="http://traditional-catholic-prayers.blogspot.com/2011/12/all-heresies-and-evils-especially-of.html">Papism</a> as a replacement for Catholicism and Rabbinic Talmudic <a href="http://traditional-catholic-prayers.blogspot.com/2011/09/traditional-catholic-prayers-look-up.html">Judaism</a> as a replacement for Mosaic Torah Israelite religion are both shown forth by the two <b>Beasts</b>.<b>Judaism</b> by the <b>Beast from the Sea</b> (the <b>First Beast</b>) and <b>Papism</b> by the <b>Beast from the Earth</b> (the <b>Second Beast</b>). The final fulfillment will be: the <b>False Prophet which is the Beast from the Earth</b>, and the <b>Antichrist which is the Beast from the Sea</b>. In a finer exegesis, the <b>False Prophet</b> in the rebuilt temple with the <b>Antichrist</b> and the two of them commanding the world to worship <b>Satan</b> by allegiance to the <b>Antichrist</b> will be the <b>two horns on the Second Beast</b> (the <b>Beast from the Earth</b>) during the three and one half year public period (forty two months) of horrid persecution of the saints who will not bow to the<b>Antichrist</b>. (Revelation 13:5 <i>And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do, two and forty months.</i>) Those who bow to the <b>Antichrist</b> and take his mark will be damned forever. In opposition to the<b> two horns of perdition</b> (the <b>Antichrist</b> and the <b>False Prophet</b>) whose only purpose will be to lead people who reject the saving grace of Christ to damnation, God will send the two witnesses (St. Enoch and St. Elijah who will return to earth alive - they have never died, but they will, see Revelation Chapter 11) to warn people not to have anything to do with<b> the Antichrist and the False Prophet</b>.</div><div><br />
</div><div>NOTE: That the <b>Antichrist</b> (from apostate Judaism which is the <b>First Beast</b>) and the <b>False Prophet </b>(from apostate Christianity which is the <b>Second Beast</b>) both ride to power in the passage of scripture above, Revelation 13th Chapter, and the exegesis of the Church Fathers below, on the <b>Second Beast</b>, specifically Papism in the false council Vatican II apostate sense. Vatican II's Nostrae Aetate is the prime document of Apostasy in this Judas Goat deceiving of people. As the scripture states explicitly: Revelation 13:15 <i>And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast: and that the image of the beast should speak: and should cause that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast should be slain.</i> It is the the <b>Second Beast</b>with the <b>two horns</b> that commands people be killed for not taking the <b>Mark of the Beast. Taking the Mark will irrevocably damn everyone who takes it. It is BOTH of the two horns, both the False Prophet and the Antichrist, who command the death sentence on those who will not take the Mark of the Beast. The false prophets of Vatican II are already headed for and will actively be part of killing the faithful to Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.</b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">49. By the beast, then, coming up out of the earth, he means the <st1:place st="on"><st1:placetype st="on">kingdom</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename st="on"><b>Antichrist</b></st1:placename></st1:place>; <b>and by the two horns he means him and the false prophet with him.</b><a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-05/footnote/fn35.htm#P3575_1123831">109</a> And in speaking of "the horns being like a lamb," he means that he will make himself like the Son of God, and set himself forward as king. And the terms, "he spake like a dragon," mean that he is a deceiver, and not truthful. And the words, "he exercised all the power of the first beast before him, and caused the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed," signify that, after the manner of the law of Augustus, by whom the empire of Rome was established, he too will rule and govern, sanctioning everything by it, and taking greater glory to himself. For this is the fourth beast, whose head was wounded and healed again, in its being broken up or even dishonoured, and partitioned into four crowns; and he then (Antichrist) shall with knavish skill heal it, as it were, and restore it. For this is what is meant by the prophet when he says, "He will give life unto the image, and the image of the beast will speak." For he will act with vigour again, and prove strong by reason of the laws established by him; and he will cause all those who will not worship the image of the beast to be put to death. Here the faith and the patience of the saints will appear, for he says: "And he will cause all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead; that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name." For, being full of guile, and exalting himself against the servants of God, with the wish to afflict them and persecute them out of the world, because they give not glory to him, he will order incense-pans<a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-05/footnote/fn35.htm#P3576_1125710">110</a> to be set up by all everywhere, that no man among the saints may be able to buy or sell without first sacrificing; for this is what is meant by the mark received upon the right hand. And the word-"in their forehead"-indicates that all are crowned, and put on a crown of fire, and not of life, but of death. For in this wise, too, did Antiochus Epiphanes the king of <st1:country -region="-region" st="on"><st1:place st="on">Syria</st1:place></st1:country>, the descendant of Alexander of Macedon, devise measures against the Jews. He, too, in the exaltation of his heart, issued a decree in those times, that "all should set up shrines before their doors, and sacrifice, and that they should march in procession to the honour of Dionysus, waving chaplets of ivy; "and that those who refused obedience should be put to death by strangulation and torture. But he also met his due recompense at the hand of the Lord, the righteous Judge and all-searching God; for he died eaten up of worms. And if one desires to inquire into that more accurately, he will find it recorded in the books of the Maccabees.<a href="http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/ANF-05/footnote/fn35.htm#P3577_1126902">111</a></span></span></div></div></div></div></div>SntMartyrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11197760281270769367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373517525137990149.post-80004107266212066452012-05-31T13:39:00.003-07:002012-10-20T20:37:18.553-07:00Eternal faith and beliefs: Jesus Christ is the Truth<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">GOD is the Truth. The Most Holy Trinity is God and none other is God. The Most Holy Trinity is Three Persons Who are One God. These Three Persons are The Father and the Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The Father is the fountainhead of the Trinity, the Son proceeds from His engendering in the Father’s bosom, the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father in the unity of the engendering of the Son from the Father. This procession of the Son and the Holy Spirit from the Father is immortal from before all time and creation and unto eternity never-ending. This Triune God alone has Aseity, that He is immortal without beginning and without end, self sustained in His existence which preceded all time and creation and, His existence, continues forever; God’s existence is infinite. This God is above all that He has created and transcendent in all that He has created. There is nothing apart from nor outside of God that He has not created. He created all that has been created ex nihilo, that is from nothing by His infinite power. Nothing that is created has aseity. Time is only an aspect of that which has been created by God. Time is therefore part of God’s creation. God is not limited by His creation, this includes that God is not limited by time. God is Omnipotent and Omniscient and Ubiquitos and with eternal complete foresight: Almighty and All seeing and knowing and equally present everywhere and knowing all things before their creation and all events before they come to pass unto eternity. There is no way to God but through the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity Who is the Lord Jesus Christ, in Whom alone there is salvation by His Most Holy Cross and Resurrection. Creation had a beginning but will continue unto the eternal ages to come. At the return of Jesus Christ from God the Father’s right hand in the third heaven and the just judgement of Christ of His creatures, creation will be cleansed by fire (the damned, both angels and men consigned to hell forever) and renewed with paradise restored, with the presence around God of all His elect angels and saints, and continue in this way forever.</span></div>

That reason is to gather to themselves all of the evil that Satan has brought forth by his own nature of a murderer and liar from the beginning (John 8:43-45) and instigated in the form of all the pagan religions since the flood of Noah 6,000 years ago beginning with Nimrud and the tower of Babel and draw it forth into the Son of Perdition who will sit in the temple and call himself god and take to hell with Satan and the False Prophet all that follow them – they are cast out of the kingdom of God and damned <u>forever.<o:p></o:p></u></span></span></b></div>

(It is directly descended from <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nimrud</st1:place></st1:city> 1,000 years before that.)

Who warned us not to have anything to do with the wolves in sheep’s clothing. To confirm the utter importance of not having anything to do with the wolves in sheep’s clothing the Lord especially had St. John the Apostle and Evangelist remain until the Lord had especially appeared to him and had him record that appearance and the visions Our Lord showed St. John at that time, in the last book of the bible, the Apocalypse. The message throughout it is absolutely clear, we are to have nothing to do with paganism or man made conventions that try to change what Our Lord taught us. Such as men forgiving the sins of other men. Only God forgives sin. Note that in the book of the Apocalypse that the keys (the Davidic key) that Christ promised Peter are still with Christ, that He, Jesus Christ alone locks and unlocks. This is extremely important. It means that every believing individual receives the keys that Christ gave to the Apostles, including Peter.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
Only two times in history have the synchretist hypocrites reached the current level of complete misrepresentation of the truth, once 2000 years ago and now today.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
Any Christian who knows the witness and preaching of St. John The Forerunner and Baptist of The Christ and any Christian who knows Christ’s denunciation of the hypocrites (see below from the Gospel of St. Matthew) knows that it is the hypocrites who are going to hell.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
Most professing Christians do not understand the importance of St. John The Baptist and Forerunner of Christ. He was the last of the Old Testament prophets and the first of the New Testament prophets. He was the last of the Old Testament martyrs and the first of the New Testament martyrs. He is the only Old Testament and New Testament Apostle (one who saw Christ in the flesh and was commissioned by God to preach Christ!). In short, as St. Irenaeus reminds us constantly and rightly so (against Marcion and the rest of the apostate Gnostics), there is NO difference between Old Testament and New Testament faith. It is in the same God, period. It was Our Lord Jesus Christ Who taught us that there is no communion of light with dark; that either our eye is full of light or it is full of darkness, that a tree bears good fruit or bad fruit but not both.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
There is a new version of Catholic, nowadays, one who believes that God is too maudlin to not save all men; there is a new version of Orthodox Church believer who believes that light and dark can indeed be combined, in fact, he believes God commands it; there is a new version of Protestant who doesn’t protest any heresy but only a lack of tolerance, especially if it gets in the way of his making money; there is a new version of what Our Lord meant by “born again”, now supposedly according to those calling themselves evangelical, you can’t lose your salvation no matter what you do (obviously they never had what their free will can’t forfeit so their comments, as utterly self serving as they are, mean absolutely nothing). It was the unswerving uncompromising Baptist that God the Holy Trinity, yes all three Persons, chose to baptize Jesus Christ in the Jordan. Christ commanded (not suggested) our baptism to show forth our unswerving uncompromising faith we are commanded to have. St. John The Forerunner is our model of following Christ, we decrease and He increases; NOT blessed are the puffed up. The whining self congratulating pseudochristians mentioned above, the false Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and Evangelical of unbelief, who have the diabolic audacity to accuse those who take Our Lord’s commandments and Our Lord’s denunciation of sin as well as St. John’s, and the Apostles commandments, to separate from the unbeliever and the disorderly seriously, of hypocrisy and an unrighteous judgmentalism are the Pharisee from hell that both Our Lord and St. John condemned as a brood of vipers (nasty little backbiting serpents) who cannot escape being sent to hell for eternity. As Jesus said, they compass heaven and earth to make one convert and only make him twice as much a son of hell as themselves! This is Our Lord speaking! take ye heed lest you make a dog in the manger the tyrant of the universe, take ye heed, Jesus said He came not to bring peace but a sword to divide, take ye heed lest you betray the Lord as did Judas Iscariot — even if the price has changed from thirty pieces of silver, take ye heed if you think like the Gnostics of old that morals are for sissies, Christ gave us morals and He is NO sissy. Nowadays things have gone so far downhill that the murder of babies is accepted by people as a right. Something that hasn’t plagued society since Moloch was a demon goddess worshipped in the middle east.</span></div>

25 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness.<br />
26 Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean.<br />
27 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within are full of dead men’s bones, and of all filthiness.<br />
28 So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.<br />
29 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites that build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just,<br />
30 And say: If we had been in the days of our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets<br />
31 Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets.<br />
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.<br />
33 You serpents, generation of vipers how will you flee from the judgment of hell?<br />
34 Therefore behold I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:<br />
35 That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth<br />
from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.<br />
36 Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.<br />
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered together thy children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and thou wouldest not?<br />

Nicodemus saith 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 again? Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit. Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again. – John iii. 3-7.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">It is clear from the following that Jesus Christ did away with the Mosaic law and priesthood. It is also clear from the following that they had been temporary and only from the time of Moses because of the hardness of the Israelites hearts. It is also crystal clear in the following that the patriarchs before Moses and the prophets from Moses on were not likened to that, but indeed did worship God from the heart as the Church is commanded to do. At first the Church did not recognize any Episcopal authority the way it has been theorized from the fourth century on. See the Didache for anyone that has any doubts about that. In the Didache (which is Scripture written by the Apostles at the Council of Jerusalem – the only COMPLETE council the Church has ever had) every individual house church had complete authority on their own to hold the communion of the Lord’s Eucharist and to select their own bishops and deacons.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Heb:11:<br />
1 ¶ Now, faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not.<br />
2 For by this the ancients obtained a testimony.<br />
3 By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God: that from invisible things visible things might be made.<br />
4 ¶ By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts. And by it he being dead yet speaketh.<br />
5 By faith Henoch was translated that he should not see death: and he was not found because God had translated him. For before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God.<br />
6 But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is: and is a rewarder to them that seek him.<br />
7 By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house: by the which he condemned the world and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith.<br />
8 By faith he that is called Abraham obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing whither he went.<br />
9 By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.<br />
10 For he looked for a city that hath foundations: whose builder and maker is God.<br />
11 By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age: because she believed that he was faithful who had promised,<br />
12 For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.<br />
13 All these died according to faith, not having received the promises but beholding them afar off and saluting them and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth.<br />
14 For they that say these things do signify that they seek a country.<br />
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless, time to return.<br />
16 But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.<br />
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,<br />

<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Chapter XV.-At First God Deemed It Sufficient to Inscribe the Natural Law, or the Decalogue, Upon the Hearts of Men; But Afterwards He Found It Necessary to Bridle, with the Yoke of the Mosaic Law, the Desires of the Jews, Who Were Abusing Their Liberty; And Even to Add Some Special Commands, Because of the Hardness of Their Hearts.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">1. They (the Jews) had therefore a law, a course of discipline, and a prophecy of future things. For God at the first, indeed, warning them by means of natural precepts, which from the beginning He had implanted in mankind, that is, by means of the Decalogue (which, if any one does not observe, he has no salvation), did then demand nothing more of them. As Moses says in Deuteronomy, “These are all the words which the Lord spake to the whole assembly of the sons of Israel on the mount, and He added no more; and He wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me.”172 For this reason [He did so], that they who are willing to follow Him might keep these commandments. But when they turned themselves to make a calf, and had gone back in their minds to Egypt, desiring to be slaves instead of free-men, they were placed for the future in a state of servitude suited to their wish,-[a slavery] which did not indeed cut them off from God, but subjected them to the yoke of bondage; as Ezekiel the prophet, when stating the reasons for the giving of such a law, declares: “And their eyes were after the desire of their heart; and I gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments in which they shall not live.”173 Luke also has recorded that Stephen, who was the first elected into the diaconate by the apostles,174 and who was the first slain for the testimony of Christ, spoke regarding Moses as follows: “This man did indeed receive the commandments of the living God to give to us, whom your fathers would not obey, but thrust [Him from them], and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us; for we do not know what has happened to [this] Moses, who led us from the land of Egypt. And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their own hands. But God turned, and gave them up to worship the hosts of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets:175 O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to Me sacrifices and oblations for forty years in the wilderness? And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of the god Remphan,176 figures which ye made to worship them; “177 pointing out plainly, that the law being such, was not given to them by another God, but that, adapted to their condition of servitude, [it originated] from the very same [God as we worship]. Wherefore also He says to Moses in Exodus: “I will send forth My angel before thee; for I will not go up with thee, because thou art a stiff-necked people.”178<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">2. And not only so, but the Lord also showed that certain precepts were enacted for them by Moses, on account of their hardness [of heart], and because of their unwillingness to be obedient, when, on their saying to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a writing of divorcement, and to send away a wife? “He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts he permitted these things to you; but from the beginning it was not so; “179 thus exculpating Moses as a faithful servant, but acknowledging one God, who from the beginning made male and female, and reproving them as hard-hearted and disobedient. And therefore it was that they received from Moses this law of divorcement, adapted to their hard nature. But why say I these things concerning the Old Testament? For in the New also are the apostles found doing this very thing, on the ground which has been mentioned, Paul plainly declaring, But these things I say, not the Lord.”180 And again: “But this I speak by permission, not by commandment.”181 And again: “Now, as concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord; yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.”182 But further, in another place he says: “That Satan tempt you not for your incontinence.”183 If, therefore, even in the New Testament, the apostles are found granting certain precepts in consideration of human infirmity, because of the incontinence of some, lest such persons, having grown obdurate, and despairing altogether of their salvation, should become apostates from God,-it ought not to be wondered at, if also in the Old Testament the same God permitted similar indulgences for the benefit of His people, drawing them on by means of the ordinances already mentioned, so that they might obtain the gift of salvation through them, while they obeyed the Decalogue, and being restrained by Him, should not revert to idolatry, nor apostatize from God, but learn to love Him with the whole heart. And if certain persons, because of the disobedient and ruined Israelites, do assert that the giver (doctor) of the law was limited in power, they will find in our dispensation, that “many are called, but few chosen; “184 and that there are those who inwardly are wolves, yet wear sheep’s clothing in the eyes of the world (foris); and that God has always preserved freedom, and the power of self-government in man,185 while at the same time He issued His own exhortations, in order that those who do not obey Him should be righteously judged (condemned) because they have not obeyed Him; and that those who have obeyed and believed on Him should be honoured with immortality.<br />

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Chapter XVI.-Perfect Righteousness Was Conferred Neither by Circumcision Nor by Any Other Legal Ceremonies. The Decalogue, However, Was Not Cancelled by Christ, But is Always in Force: Men Were Never Released from Its Commandments.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">1. Moreover, we learn from the Scripture itself, that God gave circumcision, not as the completer of righteousness, but as a sign, that the race of Abraham might continue recognisable. For it declares: “God said unto Abraham, Every male among you shall be circumcised; and ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, as a token of the covenant between Me and you.”186 This same does Ezekiel the prophet say with regard to the Sabbaths: “Also I gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord, that sanctify them.”187 And in Exodus, God says to Moses: “And ye shall observe My Sabbaths; for it shall be a sign between Me and you for your generations.”188 These things, then, were given for a sign; but the signs were not unsymbolical, that is, neither unmeaning nor to no purpose, inasmuch as they were given by a wise Artist; but the circumcision after the flesh typified that after the Spirit. For “we,” says the apostle, “have been circumcised with the circumcision made without hands.”189 And the prophet declares, “Circumcise the hardness of your heart.”190 But the Sabbaths taught that we should continue day by day in God’s service.191 “For we have been counted,” says the Apostle Paul, “all the day long as sheep for the slaughter; “192 that is, consecrated [to God], and ministering continually to our faith, and persevering in it, and abstaining from all avarice, and not acquiring or possessing treasures upon earth.193 Moreover, the Sabbath of God (requietio Dei), that is, the kingdom, was, as it were, indicated by created things; in which [kingdom], the man who shall have persevered in serving God (Deo assistere) shall, in a state of rest, partake of God’s table.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">2. And that man was not justified by these things, but that they were given as a sign to the people, this fact shows,-that Abraham himself, without circumcision and without observance of Sabbaths, “believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.”194 Then, again, Lot, without circumcision, was brought out from Sodom, receiving salvation from God. So also did Noah, pleasing God, although he was uncircumcised, receive the dimensions [of the ark], of the world of the second race [of men]. Enoch, too, pleasing God, without circumcision, discharged the office of God’s legate to the angels although he was a man, and was translated, and is preserved until now as a witness of the just judgment of God, because the angels when they had transgressed fell to the earth for judgment, but the man who pleased [God] was translated for salvation.195 Moreover, all the rest of the multitude of those righteous men who lived before Abraham, and of those patriarchs who preceded Moses, were justified independently of the things above mentioned, and without the law of Moses. As also Moses himself says to the people in Deuteronomy: “The Lord thy God formed a covenant in Horeb. The Lord formed not this covenant with your fathers, but for you.”196<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">3. Why, then, did the Lord not form the covenant for the fathers? Because “the law was not established for righteous men.”197 But the righteous fathers had the meaning of the Decalogue written in their hearts and souls,198 that is, they loved the God who made them, and did no injury to their neighbour. There was therefore no occasion that they should be cautioned by prohibitory mandates (correptoriis literis),199 because they had the righteousness of the law in themselves. But when this righteousness and love to God had passed into oblivion, and became extinct in Egypt, God did necessarily, because of His great goodwill to men, reveal Himself by a voice, and led the people with power out of Egypt, in order that man might again become the disciple and follower of God; and He afflicted those who were disobedient, that they should not contemn their Creator; and He fed them with manna, that they might receive food for their souls (uti rationalem acciperent escam); as also Moses says in Deuteronomy: “And fed thee with manna, which thy fathers did not know, that thou mightest know that man cloth not live by bread alone; but by every word of God proceeding out of His mouth doth man live.”200 And it enjoined love to God, and taught just dealing towards our neighbour, that we should neither be unjust nor unworthy of God, who prepares man for His friendship through the medium of the Decalogue, and likewise for agreement with his neigbbour,-matters which did certainly profit man himself; God, however, standing in no need of anything from man.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">4. And therefore does the Scripture say, “These words the Lord spake to all the assembly of the children of Israel in the mount, and He added no more; “201 for, as I have already observed, He stood in need of nothing from them. And again Moses says: “And now Israel, what cloth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul? “202 Now these things did indeed make man glorious, by supplying what was wanting to him, namely, the friendship of God; but they profited God nothing, for God did not at all stand in need of man’s love. For the glory of God was wanting to man, which he could obtain in no other way than by serving God. And therefore Moses says to them again: “Choose life, that thou mayest live, and thy seed, to love the Lord thy God, to hear His voice, to cleave unto Him; for this is thy life, and the length of thy days.”203 Preparing man for this life, the Lord Himself did speak in His own person to all alike the words of the Decalogue; and therefore, in like manner, do they remain permanently with us,204 receiving by means of His advent in the flesh, extension and increase, but not abrogation.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">5. The laws of bondage, however, were one by one promulgated to the people by Moses, suited for their instruction or for their punishment, as Moses himself declared: “And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments.”205 These things, therefore, which were given for bondage, and for a sign to them, He cancelled by the new covenant of liberty. But He has increased and widened those laws which are natural, and noble, and common to all, granting to men largely and without grudging, by means of adoption, to know God the Father, and to love Him with the whole heart, and to follow His word unswervingly, while they abstain not only from evil deeds, but even from the desire after them. But He has also increased the feeling of reverence; for sons should have more veneration than slaves, and greater love for their father. And therefore the Lord says, “As to every idle word that men have spoken, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment.”206 And, “he who has looked upon a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart; “207 and, “he that is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the judgment.”208 [All this is declared, ] that we may know that we shall give account to God not of deeds only, as slaves, but even of words and thoughts, as those who have truly received the power of liberty, in which [condition] a man is more severely tested, whether he will reverence, and fear, and love the Lord. And for this reason Peter says “that we have not liberty as a cloak of maliciousness,”209 but as the means of testing and evidencing faith.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Chapter XVII.-Proof that God Did Not Appoint the Levitical Dispensation for His Own Sake, or as Requiring Such Service; For He Does, in Fact, Need Nothing from Men.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">1. Moreover, the prophets indicate in the fullest manner that God stood in no need of their slavish obedience, but that it was upon their own account that He enjoined certain observances in the law. And again, that God needed not their oblation, but [merely demanded it], on account of man himself who offers it, the Lord taught distinctly, as I have pointed out. For when He perceived them neglecting righteousness, and abstaining from the love of God, and imagining that God was to be propitiated by sacrifices and the other typical observances, Samuel did even thus speak to them: “God does not desire whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices, but He will have His voice to be hearkened to. Behold, a ready obedience is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.”210 David also says: “Sacrifice and oblation Thou didst not desire, but mine ears hast Thou perfected;211 burnt-offerings also for sin Thou hast not required.”212 He thus teaches them that God desires obedience, which renders them secure, rather than sacrifices and holocausts, which avail them nothing towards righteousness; and [by this declaration] he prophesies the new covenant at the same time. Still clearer, too, does he speak of these things in the fiftieth Psalm: “For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, then would I have given it: Thou wilt not delight in burnt-offerings. The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart the Lord will not despise.”213 Because, therefore, God stands in need of nothing, He declares in the preceding Psalm: “I will take no calves out of thine house, nor he-goats out of thy fold. For Mine are all the beasts of the earth, the herds and the oxen on the mountains: I know all the fowls of heaven, and the various tribes214 of the field are Mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof. Shall I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? “215 Then, lest it might be supposed that He refused these things in His anger, He continues, giving him (man) counsel: “Offer unto God the sacrifice of praise, and pay thy vows to the Most High; and call upon Me in the day of thy trouble, and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me; “216 rejecting, indeed, those things by which sinners imagined they could propitiate God, and showing that He does Himself stand in need of nothing; but He exhorts and advises them to those. things by which man is justified and draws nigh to God. This same declaration does Esaias make: “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me? saith the Lord. I am full.”217 And when He had repudiated holocausts, and sacrifices, and oblations, as likewise the new moons, and the sabbaths, and the festivals, and all the rest of the services accompanying these, He continues, exhorting them to what pertained to salvation: “Wash you, make you clean, take away wickedness from your hearts from before mine eyes: cease from your evil ways, learn to do well, seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow; and come, let us reason together, saith the Lord.”<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">2. For it was not because He was angry, like a man, as many venture to say, that He rejected their sacrifices; but out of compassion to their blindness, and with the view of suggesting to them the true sacrifice, by offering which they shall appease God, that they may receive life from Him. As He elsewhere declares: “The sacrifice to God is an afflicted heart: a sweet savour to God is a heart glorifying Him who formed it.”218 For if, when angry, He had repudiated these sacrifices of theirs, as if they were persons unworthy to obtain His compassion, He would not certainly have urged these same things upon them as those by which they might be saved. But inasmuch as God is merciful, He did not cut them off from good counsel. For after He had said by Jeremiah, “To what purpose bring ye Me incense from Saba, and cinnamon from a far country? Your whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices are not acceptable to Me; “219 He proceeds: “Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah. These things saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Make straight your ways and your doings, and I will establish you in this place. Put not your trust in lying words, for they will not at all profit you, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, it is [here].”220 </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">3. And again, when He points out that it was not for this that He led them out of Egypt, that they might offer sacrifice to Him, but that, forgetting the idolatry of the Egyptians, they should be able to hear the voice of the Lord, which was to them salvation and glory, He declares by this same Jeremiah: “Thus saith the Lord; Collect together your burnt-offerings with your sacrifices and eat flesh. For I spake not unto your fathers nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices: but this word I commanded them, saying, Hear My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people; and walk in all My ways whatsoever I have commanded you, that it may be well with you. But they obeyed not, nor hearkened; but walked in the imaginations of their own evil heart, and went backwards, and not forwards.”221 And again, when He declares by the same man, “But let him that glorieth, glory in this, to understand and know that I am the Lord, who doth exercise loving-kindness, and righteousness, and judgment in the earth; “222 He adds, “For in these things I delight, says the Lord,” but not in sacrifices, nor in holocausts, nor in oblations. For the people did not receive these precepts as of primary importance (principaliter), but as secondary, and for the reason already alleged, as Isaiah again says: “Thou hast not [brought to] Me the sheep of thy holocaust, nor in thy sacrifices hast thou glorified Me: thou hast not served Me in sacrifices, nor in [the matter of] frankincense hast thou done anything laboriously; neither hast thou bought for Me incense with money, nor have I desired the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast stood before Me in thy sins and in thine iniquities.”223 He says, therefore, “Upon this man will I look, even upon him that is humble, and meek, and who trembles at My words.”224 “For the fat and the fat flesh shall not take away from thee thine unrighteousness.”225 “This is the fast which I have chosen, saith the Lord. Loose every band of wickedness, dissolve the connections of violent agreements, give rest to those that are shaken, and cancel every unjust document. Deal thy bread to the hungry willingly, and lead into thy house the roofless stranger. If thou hast seen the naked, cover him, and thou shalt not despise those of thine own flesh and blood (domesticos seminis tui). Then shall thy morning light break forth, and thy health shall spring forth more speedily; and righteousness shall go before thee, and the glory of the Lord shall surround thee: and whilst thou an yet speaking, I will say, Behold, here I am.”226 And Zechariah also, among the twelve prophets, pointing out to the people the will of God, says: “These things does the Lord Omnipotent declare: Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassion each one to his brother. And oppress not the widow, and the orphan, and the proselyte, and the poor; and let none imagine evil against your brother in his heart.”227 And again, he says: “These are the words which ye shall utter. Speak ye the truth every man to his neighbour, and execute peaceful judgment in your gates, and let none of you imagine evil in his heart against his brother, and ye shall not love false swearing: for all these things I hate, saith the Lord Almighty.”228 Moreover, David also says in like manner: “What man is there who desireth life, and would fain see good days? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips that they speak no guile. Shun evil, and do good: seek peace, and pursue it.”229<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">4. From all these it is evident that God did not seek sacrifices and holocausts from them, but faith, and obedience, and righteousness, because of their salvation. As God, when teaching them His will in Hosea the prophet, said, “I desire mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.”230 Besides, our Lord also exhorted them to the same effect, when He said, “But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.”231 Thus does He bear witness to the prophets, that they preached the truth; but accuses these men (His hearers) of being foolish through their own fault.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">5. Again, giving directions to His disciples to offer to God the first-fruits232 of His own, created things-not as if He stood in need of them, but that they might be themselves neither unfruitful nor ungrateful-He took that created thing, bread, and gave thanks, and said, “This is My body.”233 And the cup likewise, which is part of that creation to which we belong, He confessed to be His blood, and taught the new oblation of the new covenant; which the Church receiving from the apostles, offers to God throughout all the world, to Him who gives us as the means of subsistence the first-fruits of His own gifts in the New Testament, concerning which Malachi, among the twelve prophets, thus spoke beforehand: “I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord Omnipotent, and I will not accept sacrifice at your hands. For from the rising of the sun, unto the going down [of the same], My name is glorified among the Gentiles, and in every place incense is offered to My name, and a pure sacrifice; for great is My name among the Gentiles, saith the Lord Omnipotent; “234 -indicating in the plainest manner, by these words, that the former people [the Jews] shall indeed cease to make offerings to God, but that in every place sacrifice shall be offered to Him, and that a pure one; and His name is glorified among the Gentiles.235<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">6. But what other name is there which is glorified among the Gentiles than that of our Lord, by whom the Father is glorified, and man also? And because it is [the name] of His own Son, who was made man by Him, He calls it His own. Just as a king, if he himself paints a likeness of his son, is right in calling this likeness his own, for both these reasons, because it is [the likeness] of his son, and because it is his own production; so also does the Father confess the name of Jesus Christ, which is throughout all the world glorified in the Church, to be His own, both because it is that of His Son, and because He who thus describes it gave Him for the salvation of men. Since, therefore, the name of the Son belongs to the Father, and since in the omnipotent God the Church makes offerings through Jesus Christ, He says well on both these grounds, “And in every place incense is offered to My name, and a pure sacrifice.” Now John, in the Apocalypse, declares that the “incense” is “the prayers of the saints.”236<br />

<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">1. The oblation of the Church, therefore, which the Lord gave instructions to be offered throughout all the world, is accounted with God a pure sacrifice, and is acceptable to Him; not that He stands in need of a sacrifice from us, but that he who offers is himself glorified in what he does offer, if his gift be accepted. For by the gift both honour and affection are shown forth towards the King; and the Lord, wishing us to offer it in all simplicity and innocence, did express Himself thus: “Therefore, when thou offerest thy gift upon the altar, and shalt remember that thy brother hath ought against thee, leave thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then return and offer thy gift.”237 We are bound, therefore, to offer to God the first-fruits of His creation, as Moses also says, “Thou shalt not appear in the presence of the Lord thy God empty; “238 so that man, being accounted as grateful, by those things in which he has shown his gratitude, may receive that honour which flows from Him.239<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">2. And the class of oblations in general has not been set aside; for there were both oblations there [among the Jews], and there are oblations here [among the Christians]. Sacrifices there were among the people; sacrifices there are, too, in the Church: but the species alone has been changed, inasmuch as the offering is now made, not by slaves, but by freemen. For the Lord is [ever] one and the same; but the character of a servile oblation is peculiar [to itself], as is also that of freemen, in order that, by the very oblations, the indication of liberty may be set forth. For with Him there is nothing purposeless, nor without signification, nor without design. And for this reason they (the Jews) had indeed the tithes of their goods consecrated to Him, but those who have received liberty set aside all their possessions for the Lord’s purposes, bestowing joyfully and freely not the less valuable portions of their property, since they have the hope of better things [hereafter]; as that poor widow acted who cast all her living into the treasury of God.240<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">3. For at the beginning God had respect to the gifts of Abel, because he offered with single-mindedness and righteousness; but He had no respect unto the offering of Cain, because his heart was divided with envy and malice, which he cherished against his brother, as God says when reproving his hidden [thoughts], “Though thou offerest rightly, yet, if thou dost not divide rightly, hast thou not sinned? Be at rest; “241 since God is not appeased by sacrifice. For if any one shall endeavour to offer a sacrifice merely to outward appearance, unexceptionably, in due order, and according to appointment, while in his soul he does not assign to his neighbour that fellowship with him which is right and proper, nor is under the fear of God;-he who thus cherishes secret sin does not deceive God by that sacrifice which is offered correctly as to outward appearance; nor will such an oblation profit him anything, but [only] the giving up of that evil which has been conceived within him, so that sin may not the more, by means of the hypocritical action, render him the destroyer of himself.242 Wherefore did the Lord also declare: “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are like whited sepulchres. For the sepulchre appears beautiful outside, but within it is full of dead men’s bones, and all uncleanness; even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of wickedness and hypocrisy.”243 For while they were thought to offer correctly so far as outward appearance went, they had in themselves jealousy like to Cain; therefore they slew the Just One, slighting the counsel of the Word, as did also Cain. For [God] said to him, “Be at rest; “but he did not assent. Now what else is it to “be at rest” than to forego purposed violence? And saying similar things to these men, He declares: “Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse that which is within the cup, that the outside may be clean also.”244 And they did not listen to Him. For Jeremiah says, “Behold, neither thine eyes nor thy heart are good; but [they are turned] to thy covetousness, and to shed innocent blood, and for injustice, and for man-slaying, that thou mayest do it.”245 And again Isaiah saith, “Ye have taken counsel, but not of Me; and made covenants, [but] not by My Spirit.”246 In order, therefore, that their inner wish and thought, being brought to light, may show that God is without blame, and worketh no evil-that God who reveals what is hidden [in the heart], but who worketh not evil-when Cain was by no means at rest, He saith to him: “To thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.”247 Thus did He in like manner speak to Pilate: “Thou shouldest have no power at all against Me, unless it were given thee from above; “248 God always giving up the righteous one [in this life to suffering], that he, having been tested by what he suffered and endured, may [at last] be accepted; but that the evildoer, being judged by the actions he has performed, may be rejected. Sacrifices, therefore, do not sanctify a man, for God stands in no need of sacrifice; but it is the conscience of the offerer that sanctifies the sacrifice when it is pure, and thus moves God to accept [the offering] as from a friend. “But the sinner,” says He, “who kills a calf [in sacrifice] to Me, is as if he slew a dog.”249<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">4. Inasmuch, then, as the Church offers with single-mindedness, her gift is justly reckoned a pure sacrifice with God. As Paul also says to the Philippians, “I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things that were sent from you, the odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, pleasing to God.”250 For it behoves us to make an oblation to God, and in all things to be found grateful to God our Maker, in a pure mind, and in faith without hypocrisy, in well-grounded hope, in fervent love, offering the first-fruits of His own created things. And the Church alone offers this pure oblation to the Creator, offering to Him, with giving of thanks, [the things taken] from His creation. But the Jews do not offer thus: for their hands are full of blood; for they have not received the Word, through whom it is offered to God.251 Nor, again, do any of the conventicles (synagogae) of the heretics [offer this]. For some, by maintaining that the Father is different from the Creator, do, when they offer to Him what belongs to this creation of ours, set Him forth as being covetous of another’s property, and desirous of what is not His own. Those, again, who maintain that the things around us originated from apostasy, ignorance, and passion, do, while offering unto Him the fruits of ignorance, passion, and apostasy, sin against their Father, rather subjecting Him to insult than giving Him thanks. But how can they be consistent with themselves, [when they say] that the bread over which thanks have been given is the body of their Lord,252 and the cup His blood, if they do not call Himself the Son of the Creator of the world, that is, His Word, through whom the wood fructifies, and the fountains gush forth, and the earth gives “first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear.”253<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">5. Then, again, how can they say that the flesh, which is nourished with the body of the Lord and with His blood, goes to corruption, and does not partake of life? Let them, therefore, either alter their opinion, or cease from offering the things just mentioned.254 But our opinion is in accordance with the Eucharist, and the Eucharist in turn establishes our opinion. For we offer to Him His own, announcing consistently the fellowship and union of the flesh and Spirit.255 For as the bread, which is produced from the earth, when it receives the invocation of God, is no longer common bread,256 but the Eucharist, consisting of two realities, earthly and heavenly; so also our bodies, when they receive the Eucharist, are no longer corruptible, having the hope of the resurrection to eternity.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">6. Now we make offering to Him, not as though He stood in need of it, but rendering thanks for His gift,257 and thus sanctifying what has been created. For even as God does not need our possessions, so do we need to offer something to God; as Solomon says: “He that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth unto the Lord.”258 For God, who stands in need of nothing, takes our good works to Himself for this purpose, that He may grant us a recompense of His own good things, as our Lord says: “Come, ye blessed of My Father, receive the kingdom prepared for you. For I was an hungered, and ye gave Me to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in: naked, and ye clothed Me; sick, and ye visited Me; in prison, and ye came to Me.”259 As, therefore, He does not stand in need of these [services], yet does desire that we should render them for our own benefit, lest we be unfruitful; so did the Word give to the people that very precept as to the making of oblations, although He stood in no need of them, that they might learn to serve God: thus is it, therefore, also His will that we, too, should offer a gift at the altar, frequently and without intermission. The altar, then, is in heaven260 (for towards that place are our prayers and oblations directed); the temple likewise [is there], as John says in the Apocalypse, “And the temple of God was opened: “261 the tabernacle also: “For, behold,” He says, “the tabernacle of God, in which He will dwell with men.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">The diabolically absurd idea of ecumenism began in the late 6th (500’s) A.D. century in the Eastern Church. Later, the Pope got jealous and decided he wanted it for himself. In all cases it is the example of men bowing before the temptation of Satan. The devil even tried to tempt Jesus Christ with this but Jesus totally rejected this temptation of the devil – see Gospel of St. Luke Chapter 4. It was in the East as well that the pagan worship of images was promoted throughout the centuries, while in the West the use of images to teach but not to worship them was the tradition. It was also in the East that the ecumenical idea of a universal bishop was thought up.</span></div>

Be it known then to your Fraternity that John, formerly bishop of the city of Constantinople, against God, against the peace of the Church, to the contempt and injury of all priests, exceeded the bounds of modesty and of his own measure, and unlawfully usurped in synod the proud and pestiferous title of ecumenical, that is to say, universal. When our predecessor Pelagius of blessed memory became aware of this, he annulled by a fully valid censure all the proceedings of that same synod,</span></div>

And we commend you indeed for your zeal against anything made with hands being an object of adoration; but we signify to you that you ought not to have broken these images. For pictorial representation is made use of in Churches for this reason; that such as are ignorant of letters may at least read by looking at the walls what they cannot read in books. Your Fraternity therefore should have both preserved the images and prohibited the people from adoration of them, to the end that both those who are ignorant of letters might have wherewith to gather a knowledge of the history, and that the people might by no means sin by adoration of a pictorial representation.</span></div>

Gregory to Cyriacus, &c.<br />
Observing diligently, most dear brother, how great is the virtue of peace from the Lord’s voice, which says, My peace I give unto you (John. xiv. 27), it becomes us so to abide in the love thereof as in no wise to give place to discord. But, since we cannot otherwise live in its root except by retaining in mind and in deed the humility which the very author of peace has taught, we entreat you with befitting charity, that, treading down with the foot of your heart the profane elation which is always hostile to souls, you make haste to remove from the midst of the Church the offence of a perverse and proud title (ecumenical [universal] Bishop – see above EPISTLE LXVIII), lest you should possibly be found divided from the society of our peace. But let there be in us one spirit, one mind, one charity, one bond in Christ, who has willed us to be his members. For let your Holiness consider how hard it is, how indecent, how cruel, how alien from the aim of a priest, not to have that peace which you preach to others, and so abstain from offending your brethren out of pride. But study this rather, how you may prostrate with the sword of humility the author of vain and profitless elation, to the end that in such a victory the grace of the Holy Spirit may claim you as a habitation for Himself, so that what is written may be plainly fulfilled in you; the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are (2 Cor. 6:16)<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">APOSTATES — ACCORDING TO St. Irenaeus of Lyons, Gaul (France) – 180 A.D.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
Those nations however, who did not of themselves raise up their eyes unto heaven, nor returned thanks to their Maker, nor wished to behold the light of truth, but who were like blind mice concealed in the depths of ignorance, the word justly reckons “as waste water from a sink, and as the turning-weight of a balance—in fact, as nothing;”<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">That before the Lord’s appearance Satan never dared to blaspheme God, inasmuch as he did not yet know his own sentence, because it was contained in parables and allegories; but that after the Lord’s appearance, when he had clearly ascertained from the words of Christ and His apostles that eternal fire has been prepared for him as he apostatized from God of his own free-will, and likewise for all who unrepentant continue in the apostasy, he now blasphemes, by means of such men, the Lord who brings judgment [upon him] as being already condemned, and imputes the guilt of his apostasy to his Maker, not to his own voluntary disposition. Just as it is with those who break the laws, when punishment overtakes them: they throw the blame upon those who frame the laws, but not upon themselves. In like manner do those men, filled with a satanic spirit, bring innumerable accusations against our Creator, who has both given to us the spirit of life, and established a law adapted for all; and they will not admit that the judgment of God is just. Wherefore also they set about imagining some other Father who neither cares about nor exercises a providence; and there is therefore in this beast (the Antichrist), when he comes, a recapitulation made of all sorts of iniquity and of every deceit, in order that all apostate power, flowing into and being shut up in him, may be sent into the furnace of fire. Fittingly, therefore, shall his name possess the number six hundred and sixty-six, since he sums up in his own person all the commixture of wickedness which took place previous to the deluge, due to the apostasy of the angels. For Noah was six hundred years old when the deluge came upon the earth, sweeping away the rebellious world, for the sake of that most infamous generation which lived in the times of Noah. And [Antichrist] also sums up every error of devised idols since the flood, together with the slaying of the prophets and the cutting off of the just. For that image which was set up by Nebuchadnezzar had indeed a height of sixty cubits, while the breadth was six cubits; on account of which Ananias, Azarias, and Misaël, when they did not worship it, were cast into a furnace of fire, pointing out prophetically, by what happened to them, the wrath against the righteous which shall arise towards the [time of the] end. For that image, taken as a whole, was a prefiguring of this man’s coming, decreeing that he should undoubtedly himself alone be worshipped by all men. Thus, then, the six hundred years of Noah, in whose time the deluge occurred because of the apostasy, and the number of the cubits of the image for which these just men were sent into the fiery furnace, do indicate the number of the name of that man in whom is concentrated the whole apostasy of six thousand years, and unrighteousness, and wickedness, and false prophecy, and deception; for which things’ sake a cataclysm of fire shall also come [upon the earth].</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Absolutely not as what we mean by “race”. This wasn’t St. Ambrose’s meaning though. His meaning is concerning those Jews who as a nation were gathered around the teachings of the Rabbis and thereby opposing Our Lord Jesus Christ and the True God and turning aside on purpose to Satan and denying the humanity of all men other than themselves. In this they were Satan worshippers and racist and totally apostate from The God they pretended to confess. They, in fact, blasphemed the Holy Spirit and have no salvation.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">The Abbe Cruice reminds his readers that the Naasseni carried their doctrines into India, and refers to the Asiatic Researches (vol. x. p. 39). It was from this that Nagarjuna and Ashvaghosha got their ideas which are the real historical beginning of Buddhism and not the mythic beginning around 500 B.C. concurrent with Mahavira and Goshala.</span><br />

Schneidewin regards the emendation as an error, and Bunsen partly so. The latter would read, patera ton autoon Logon, i.e., “The Naasseni honour the Father of all existent things, the Logos, as man and the Son of Man.” That is they honor: Satan as God the Father which is absolute blasphemy, and Jesus Christ as only man and only one example of the Logos and born of Mary and Joseph and not by the virgin birth, which is also absolute apostasy.

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">What the assertions are of the Naasseni, who style themselves Gnostics, and that they advance those opinions which the Philosophers of the Greeks previously propounded, as well as those who have handed down mystical (rites), from (both of) whom the Naasseni taking occasion, have constructed their heresies.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">And what are the tenets of the Peristae, and that their system is not framed by them out of the holy Scriptures, but from astrological art.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">What is the doctrine of the Sethians,(2) and that, purloining(3) their theories from the wise men among the Greeks, they have patched together their own system out of shreds of opinion taken from Musaeus, and Linus, and Orpheus.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">What are the tenets of Justinus, and that his system is framed By him, not out of the holy Scriptures, but from the detail of marvels furnished by Herodotus the historian.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">I think that in the four preceding books I have very elaborately explained the opinions propounded by all the speculators among both Greeks and Barbarians, respecting the Divine Nature and the creation of the world; and not even have I omitted(4) the consideration of their systems of magic. So that I have for my readers undergone no ordinary amount of toil, in my anxiety to urge many forward into a desire of learning, and into stedfastness of knowledge in regard of the truth. It remains, therefore, to hasten on to the refutation of the heresies; but it is for the purpose of furnishing this (refutation) that we have put forward the statements already made by us. For from philosophers the heresiarchs deriving(5) starting-points, (and) like cobblers patching together, according to their own particular interpretation, the blunders of the ancients, have advanced them as novelties to those that are capable of being deceived, as we shall prove in the following books. In the remainder (of our work), the opportunity invites us to approach the treatment of our proposed subjects, <b>and to begin from those who have presumed to celebrate a serpent,(6) the originator of the error (in question), through certain expressions devised by the energy of his own (ingenuity). The priests, then, and champions of the system, have been first those who have been called Naasseni,(7) being so denominated from the Hebrew language, for the serpent is called naas ( 8 ) (in Hebrew). Subsequently, however, they have styled themselves Gnostics, </b>alleging that they alone have sounded the depths of knowledge. Now, from the system of these (speculators), many, detaching parts, have constructed a heresy which, though with several subdivisions, is essentially one, and they explain precisely the same (tenets); though conveyed under the guise of different opinions, as the following discussion, according as it progresses, will prove.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
These (Naasseni), then, according to the system(1) advanced by them, magnify, (as the originating cause) of all things else, a man and a son of man. And this man is a hermaphrodite, and is denominated among them Adam; and hymns many and various are made to him. The hymns? however–to be brief–are couched among them in some such form as this: “From thee (comes) father, and through thee (comes) mother, two names immortal, progenitors of Aeons, O denizen of heaven, thou illustrious man.” But they divide him as Geryon(3) into three parts. For, say they, of this man one part is rational, another psychical, another earthly. And they suppose that the knowledge of him is the originating principle of the capacity for a knowledge of God, expressing themselves thus: “The originating principle of perfection is the knowledge(4) of man, while the knowledge of God is absolute perfection.” All these qualities, however–rational, and psychical, and earthly–have, (the Naassene) says, retired and descended into one man simultaneously–Jesus,(5) who was born of Mary. And these three men (the Naassene) says, are in the habit of speaking (through Jesus) at the same time together, each from their own proper substances to those peculiarly their own. For, according to these, there are three kinds of all existent things–angelic, psychical, earthly; and there are three churches–angelic, psychical, earthly; and the names of these are elect, called, captive.</span><br />

II.–NAASSENI ASCRIBE THEIR SYSTEM, THROUGH MARIAMNE, TO JAMES THE LORD’S BROTHER; REALLY TRACEABLE TO THE ANCIENT MYSTERIES; THEIR PSYCHOLOGY AS GIVEN IN THE “GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THOMAS;” ASSYRIAN THEORY OF THE SOUL; THE SYSTEMS OF THE NAASSENI AND THE ASSYRIANS COMPARED; SUPPORT DRAWN BY THE NAASSENI FROM THE PHRYGIAN AND EGYPTIAN MYSTERIES; THE MYSTERIES OF ISIS; THESE MYSTERIES ALLEGORIZED BY THE NAASSENI.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">These are the heads of very numerous discourses which (the Naassene) asserts James the brother of the Lord handed down to Mariamne.(6) </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">In order, then, that these impious (heretics) may no longer belie Mariamne or James, or the Saviour Himself, let us come to the mystic rites (whence these have derived their figment),–to a consideration, if it seems right, of both the Barbarian and Grecian (mysteries),–and let us see how these (heretics), collecting together the secret and ineffable mysteries of all the Gentiles, are uttering falsehoods against Christ, and are making dupes of those who are not acquainted with these orgies of the Gentiles. For since the foundation of the doctrine with them is the man Adam, and they say that concerning him it has been written, “Who shall declare his generation?”(7) learn how, partly deriving from the Gentiles the undiscoverable and diversified(8) generation of the man, they fictitiously apply it to Christ.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
“Now earth,”(9) say the Greeks, “gave forth a man, (earth) first bearing a goodly gift, wishing to become mother not of plants devoid of sense, nor beasts without reason, but of a gentle and highly favoured creature.” “It, however, is difficult,” (the Naassene) says, “to ascertain whether Alalcomeneus,(10) first of men, rose upon the Boeotians over Lake Cephisus; or whether it were the Idaean Curetes, a divine race; or the Phrygian Corybantes, whom first the sun beheld springing up after the manner of the growth of trees; or whether Arcadia brought forth Pelasgus, of greater antiquity than the moon; or Eleusis (produced) Diaulus, an inhabitant of Raria; or Lemnus begot Cabirus, fair child of secret orgies; or Pallerie (brought forth) the Phlegraean Alcyoneus, oldest of the giants. But the Libyans affirm that Iarbas, first born, on emerging from arid plains, commenced eating the sweet acorn of Jupiter. But the Nile of the Egyptians,” he says, “up to this day fertilizing mud, (and therefore) generating animals, renders up living bodies, which acquire flesh from moist vapour.” The Assyrians, however, say that fish-eating Oannes(11) was (the first man, and) produced among themselves. The Chaldeans, however, say that this Adam is the man whom alone earth brought forth. And that he lay inanimate, unmoved, (and) still as a statue; being an image of him who is above, who is celebrated as the man Adam,(1) having been begotten by many powers, concerning whom individually is an enlarged discussion.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">In order, therefore, that finally the Great Man from above may be overpowered, “from whom,” as they say, “the whole family named on earth and in the heavens has been formed, to him was given also a soul, that through the soul he might suffer; and that the enslaved image may be punished of the Great and most Glorious and Perfect Man, for even so they call him. Again, then, they ask what is the soul, and whence, and what kind in its nature, that, coming to the man and moving him,(2) it should enslave and punish the image of the Perfect Man. They do not, however, (on this point) institute an inquiry from the Scriptures, but ask this (question) also from the mystic (rites). And they affirm that the soul is very difficult to discover, and hard to understand; for it does not remain in the same figure or the same form invariably, or in one passive condition, that either one could express it by a sign, or comprehend it substantially.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
But they have these varied changes (of the soul) set down in the gospel inscribed “according to the Egyptians.”(3) They are, then, in doubt, as all the rest of men among the Gentiles, whether (the soul) is at all from something pre-existent, or whether from the self-produced (one),(4) or from a widespread Chaos. And first they fly for refuge to the mysteries of the Assyrians, perceiving the threefold division of the man; for the Assyrians first advanced the opinion that the soul has three parts, and yet (is essentially) one. For of soul, say they, is every nature desirous, and each in a different manner. For soul is cause of all things made; all things that are nourished, (the Naassene) says, and that grow, require soul. For it is not possible, he says, to obtain any nourishment or growth where soul is not present. For even stones, he affirms, are animated, for they possess what is capable of increase; but increase would not at any time take place without nourishment, for it is by accession that things which are being increased grow, but accession is the nourishment of things that are nurtured. Every nature, then, as of thins celestial and (the Naasene) says, of things celestial, and earthly, and infernal, desires a soul. And an entity of this description the Assyrians call Adonis or Endymion;(5) and when it is styled Adonis, Venus, he says, loves and desires the soul when styled by such a name. But Venus is production, according to them. But whenever Proserpine or Cora becomes enamoured with Adonis, there results, he says, a certain mortal soul separated from Venus (that is, from generation). But should the Moon pass into concupiscence for Endymion, and into love of her form, the nature,(6) he says, of the higher beings requires a soul likewise. But if, he says, the mother of the gods emasculate Attis,(7) and herself has this (person) as an object of affection, the blessed nature, he says, of the supernal and everlasting (beings) alone recalls the male power of the soul to itself.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">For (the Naassene) says, there is the hermaphrodite man. According to this account of theirs, the intercourse of woman with man is demonstrated, in conformity with such teaching, to be an exceedingly wicked and filthy (practice).( 8 ) For, says (the Naassene), Attis has been emasculated, that is, he has passed over from the earthly parts of the nether world to the everlasting substance above, where, he says, there is neither female or male,(9) but a new creature, (10) a new man, which is hermaphrodite. As to where, however, they use the expression “above,” I shall show when I come to the proper place (for treating this subject). But they assert that, by their account, they testify that Rhea is not absolutely isolated, but–for so I may say–the universal creature; and this they declare to be what is affirmed by the Word. “For the invisible things of Him are seen from the creation of the world, being understood by the things that are made by Him, even His eternal power and Godhead, for the purpose of leaving them without excuse. Wherefore, knowing God, they glorified Him not as God, nor gave Him thanks; but their foolish heart was rendered vain. For, professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into images of the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore also God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature.” What, however, the natural use is, according to them, we shall afterwards declare. “And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly”–now the expression that which is unseemly signifies, according to these (Naasseni), the first and blessed substance, figureless, the cause of all figures to those things that are moulded into shapes,–”and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.”(1) For in these words which Paul has spoken they say the entire secret of theirs, and a hidden mystery of blessed pleasure, are comprised. For the promise of washing is not any other, according to them, than the introduction of him that is washed in, according to them, life-giving water, and anointed with ineffable(2) ointment (than his introduction) into unfading bliss<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">But they assert that not only is there in favour of their doctrine, testimony to be drawn from the mysteries of the Assyrians, but also from those of the Phrygians concerning the happy nature–concealed, and yet at the same time disclosed–of things that have been, and are coming into existence, and moreover will be,-(a happy nature) which, (the Naassene) says, is the kingdom of heaven to be sought for within a man.(3) And concerning this (nature) they hand down an explicit passage, occurring(4) in the Gospel inscribed according to Thomas,(5) expressing themselves thus: “He who seeks me, will find, me in children from seven years old; for there concealed, I shall in the fourteenth age be made manifest.” This, however, is not (the teaching) of Christ, but of Hippocrates, who uses these words: “A child of seven years is half of a father.” And so it is that these (heretics), placing the originative nature of the universe in causative seed, (and) having ascertained the (aphorism) of Hippocrates,(6) that a child of seven years old is half of a father, say that in fourteen years, according to Thomas, he is manifested. This, with them, is the ineffable and mystical Logos. They assert, then, that the Egyptians, who after the Phrygians,(7) it is established, are of greater antiquity than all mankind, and who confessedly were the first to proclaim to all the rest of men the rites and orgies of, at the same time, all the gods, as well as the species and energies (of things), have the sacred and august, and for those who are not initiated, unspeakable mysteries of Isis. These, however, are not anything else than what by her of the seven dresses and sable robe was sought and snatched away, namely, the pudendum of Osiris. And they say that Osiris is water.(8) But the seven-robed nature, encircled and arrayed with seven mantles of ethereal texture–for so they call the planetary stars, allegorizing and denominating them ethereal(9) robes,–is as it were the changeable generation, and is exhibited as the creature transformed by the ineffable and unportrayable,(10) and inconceivable and figureless one. And this, (the Naassene) says, is what is declared in Scripture, “The just will fall seven times, and rise again.”(11) For these falls, he says, are the changes of the stars, moved by Him who puts all things in motion.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
They affirm, then, concerning the substance(12) of the seed which is a cause of all existent things, that it is none of these, but that it produces and forms all things that are made, expressing themselves thus: “I become what I wish, and I am what I am: on account of this I say, that what puts all things in motion is itself unmoved. For what exists remains forming all things, and nought of existing things is made.”(13) He says that this (one) alone is good, and that what is spoken by the Saviour(14) is declared concerning this (one): “Why do you say that am good? One is good, my Father which is in the heavens, who causeth His sun to rise upon the just and unjust, and sendeth rain upon saints and sinners.”(15) But who the saintly ones are on whom He sends the rain, and the sinners on whom the same sends the rain, this likewise we shall afterwards declare with the rest. And this is the great and secret and unknown mystery of the universe, concealed and revealed among the Egyptians. For Osiris,(16) (the Naassene) says, is in temples in front of Isis;(17) and his pudendum stands exposed, looking downwards, and crowned with all its own fruits of things that are made. And (he affirms) that such stands not only in the most hallowed temples chief of idols, but that also, for the information of all, it is as it were a light not set under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, proclaiming its message upon the housetops,( 18 ) in all by-ways, and all streets, and near the actual dwellings, placed in front as a certain appointed limit and termination of the dwelling, and that this is denominated the good (entity) by all. For they style this good-producing, not knowing what they say. And the Greeks, deriving this mystical (expression) from the Egyptians, preserve it until this day. For we behold, says (the Naassene), statues of Mercury, of such a figure honoured among them.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Worshipping, however, Cyllenius with especial distinction, they style him Logios. For Mercury is Logos, who being interpreter and fabricator of the things that have been made simultaneously, and that are being produced, and that will exist, stands honoured among them, fashioned into some such figure as is the pullendum of a man, having an impulsive power from the parts below towards those above. And that this (deity)–that is, a Mercury of this description–is, (the Naassene) says, a conjurer of the dead, and a guide of departed spirits, and an originator of souls; nor does this escape the notice of the poets, who express themselves thus:–<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“Cyllenian Hermes also called<br />
The souls of mortal suitors.”(1)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Not Penelope’s suitors, says he, O wretches! but (souls) awakened and brought to recollection of themselves,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“From honour so great, and from bliss so long.”(2)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">That is, from the blessed man from above, or the primal man or Adam, as it seems to them, souls have been conveyed down here into a creation of clay, that they may serve the Demiurge of this creation, Ialdabaoth,(3) a fiery God, a fourth number; for so they call the Demiurge and father of the formal world:–</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“And in hand he held a lovely<br />
Wand of gold that human eyes enchants,<br />
Of whom he will, and those again who slumber rouses.”(4)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">This, he says, is he who alone has power of life and death. Concerning this, he says, it has been written, “Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron.”(5) The poet, however, he says, being desirous of adorning the incomprehensible (potency) of the blessed nature of the Logos, invested him with not an iron, but golden wand. And he enchants the eyes of the dead, as he says, and raises up again those that are slumbering, after having been roused from sleep, and after having been suitors. And concerning these, he says, the Scripture speaks: “Awake thou that sleepest, and arise, and Christ will give thee light.”(6)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">This is the Christ who, he says, in all that have been generated, is the portrayed Son of Man from the unportrayable Logos. This, he says, is the great and unspeakable mystery of the Eleusinian rites, Hye, Cye.(7) And he affirms that all things have been subjected unto him, and this is that which has been spoken, “Their sound is gone forth unto all the earth,”(8) just as it agrees with the expressions, “Mercury(9) waving his wand, guides the souls, but they twittering follow.” I mean the disembodied spirits follow continuously in such a way as the poet by his imagery delineates, using these words:–</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“And as when in the magic cave’s recess<br />
Bats humming fly, and when one drops<br />
From ridge of rock, and each to other closely clings.”(10)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">The expression “rock,” he says, he uses of Adam. This, he affirms, is Adam: “The chief corner-stone become the head of the corner.(11) For that in the head the substance is the formative brain from which the entire family is fashioned.(12) “Whom,” he says, “I place as a rock at the foundations of Zion.” Allegorizing, he says, he speaks of the creation of the man. The rock is interposed (within) the teeth, as Homer(13) says, “enclosure of teeth,” that is, a wall anti fortress, in which exists the inner man, who thither has fallen from Adam, the primal man above. And he has been “severed without hands to effect the division,”(14) and has been borne down into the image of oblivion, being earthly and clayish. And he asserts that the twittering spirits follow him, that is, the Logos:–</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">That is, he says, into the eternal places separated from all wickedness. For whither, he says, did they come:–</span></div>

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“O’er ocean’s streams they came, and Leuca’s cliff,<br />
And by the portals of the sun and land of dreams.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">This, he says, is ocean {see <a href="http://eternalfaithandbeliefs.blogspot.com/search/label/Nammu">Nammu</a>}, “generation of gods and generation of men”(16) ever whirled round by the eddies of water, at one time upwards, at another time downwards. But he says there ensues a generation of men when the ocean flows downwards; but when upwards to the wall and fortress and the cliff of Luecas, a generation of gods takes place. This, he asserts, is that which has been written: “I said, Ye are gods, and all children of the highest;”(1) “If ye hasten to fly out of Egypt, and repair beyond the Red Sea into the wilderness,” that is, from earthly intercourse to the Jerusalem above, which is the mother of the living;(2) “If, moreover, again you return into Egypt,” that is, into earthly intercourse,(3) “ye shall die as men.” For mortal, he says, is every generation below, but immortal that which is begotten above, for it is born of water only, and of spirit, being spiritual, not carnal. But what (is born) below is carnal, that is, he says, what is written. “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit.”(4) This, according to them, is the spiritual generation. This, he says, is the great Jordan(5) which, flowing on (here) below, and preventing the children of Israel from departing out of Egypt–I mean from terrestrial intercourse, for Egypt is with them the body,–Jesus drove back, and made it flow upwards.</span></div>

III.–FURTHER EXPOSITION OF THE HERESY OF THE NAASSENI; PROFESS TO FOLLOW HOMER; ACKNOWLEDGE A TRIAD OF PRINCIPLES; THEIR TECHNICAL NAMES OF THE TRIAD; SUPPORT THESE ON THE AUTHORITY OF GREEK POETS; ALLEGORIZE OUR SAVIOUR’S MIRACLES; THE MYSTERY OF THE SAMOTHRACIANS; WHY THE LORD CHOSE TWELVE DISCIPLES; THE NAME CORYBAS, USED BY THRACIANS AND PHRYGIANS, EXPLAINED; NAASSENI PROFESS TO FIND THEIR SYSTEM IN SCRIPTURE; THEIR INTERPRETATION OF JACOB’S VISION; THEIR IDEA OF THE “PERFECT MAN;” THE “PERFECT MAN” CALLED “PAPA” BY THE PHRYGIANS; THE NAASSENI AND PHRYGIANS ON THE RESURRECTION; THE ECSTASIS OF ST.

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Adopting these and such like (opinions), these most marvellous Gnostics, inventors of a novel(6) grammatical art, magnify Homer as their prophet–as one, (according to them,) who, after the mode adopted in the mysteries, announces these truths; and they mock those who are not indoctrinated into the holy Scriptures, by betraying them into such notions. They make, however, the following assertion: he who says that all things derive consistence from one, is in error; but he who says that they are of three, is in possession of the truth, and will furnish a solution of the (phonomena of the) universe. For there is, says (the Naassene), one blessed nature of the Blessed Man, of him who is above, (namely) Adam; and there is one mortal nature, that which is below; and there is one kingless generation, which is begotten above, where, he says, is Mariam(7) the sought-for one, and Iothor the mighty sage, and Sephors the gazing one, and Moses whose generation is not in Egypt, for children were born unto him in Madian; and not even this, he says, has escaped the notice of the poets.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“Threefold was our partition; each obtained<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">His meed of honour due.”( 8 )</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">For, says he, it is necessary that the magnitudes be declared, and that they thus be declared by all everywhere, “in order that hearing they may not hear, and seeing they may not see.”(9) For if, he says, the magnitudes were not declared, the world could not have obtained consistence. These are the three tumid expressions (of these heretics), CAULACAU,(10) SAULASU, ZEESAR. CAULACAU, i.e., Adam, who is farthest above; SAULASAU, that is, the mortal one below; ZEESAR, that is, Jordan that flows upwards. This, he says, is the hermaphrodite man (present) in all. But those who are ignorant of him, call him Geryon with the threefold body–Geryon, i.e., as if (in the sense of) flowing from earth–but (whom) the Greeks by common consent (style) “celestial horn of the moon,” because he mixed and blended all things in all. “For all things,” he says, “were made by him, and not even one thing was made without him, and what was made in him is life.”(11) This, says he, is the life, the ineffable generation of perfect men, which was not known by preceding generations. But the passage, “nothing was made without him,” refers to the formal world, for it was created without his instrumentality by the third and fourth (of the quaternion named above). For says he, this is the cup “CONDY, out of which the king, while he quaffs, draws his omens.”(12) This, he says, has been discovered hid in the beauteous seeds of Benjamin. And the Greeks likewise, he says, speak of this in the following terms:–</span></div>

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“Water to the raging mouth bring; thou slave, bring wine;<br />
Intoxicate and plunge me into stupor.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">My tankard tells me<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">The sort I must become.”(1)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">This, says he, was alone sufficient for its being understood by men; (I mean) the cup of Anacreon declaring, (albeit) mutely, an ineffable mystery. For dumb, says he, is Anacreon’s cup; and (yet) Anacreon affirms that it speaks to himself, in language mute, as to what sort he must become–that is spiritual, not carnal–if he shall listen in silence to the concealed mystery. And this is the water in those fair nuptials which Jesus changing made into wine. This, he says, is the mighty and true beginning of miracles(2) which Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and (thus) manifested the kingdom of heaven. This, says he, is the kingdom of heaven that reposes within us as a treasure, as leaven hid in the three measures of meal.(3)<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">This is, he says, the great and ineffable mystery of the Samothracians, which it is allowable, he says, for us only who are initiated to know. For the Samothracians expressly hand down, in the mysteries that are celebrated among them, that (same) Adam as the primal man. And habitually there stand in the temple of the Samothracians two images of naked men, having both hands stretched aloft towards heaven, and their pudenda erecta, as with the statue of Mercury on Mount Cyllene. And the aforesaid images are figures of the primal man, and of that spiritual one that is born again, in every respect of the same substance with that man. This, he says, is what is spoken by the Saviour: “If ye do not drink my blood, and eat my flesh, ye will not enter into the kingdom of heaven; but even though,” He says, “ye drink of the cup which I drink of, whither I go, ye cannot enter there.”(4) For He says He was aware of what sort of nature each of His disciples was, and that there was a necessity that each of them should attain unto His own peculiar nature. For He says He chose twelve disciples from the twelve tribes, and spoke by them to each tribe. On this account, He says, the preachings of the twelve disciples neither did all hear, nor, if they heard, could they receive. For the things that are not according to nature, are with them contrary to nature.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">This, he says, the Thracians who dwell around Haemus, and the Phrygians similarly with the Thracians, denominate Corybas, because, (though) deriving the beginning of his descent from the head above and from the unportrayed brain, and (though) permeating all the principles of the existing state of things, (yet) we do not perceive how and in what manner he comes down. This, says he, is what is spoken: “We have heard his voice, no doubt, but we have not seen his shape.”(5) For the voice of him that is set apart(6) and portrayed is heard; but (his) shape, which descends from above from the unportrayed one,–what sort it is, nobody knows. It resides, however, in an earthly mould, yet no one recognises it. This, he says, is “the god that inhabiteth the flood,” according to the Psalter, “and who speaketh and crieth from many waters.”(7) The “many waters,” he says, are the diversified generation of mortal men, from which (generation) he cries and vociferates to the unportrayed man, saying, “Preserve my only-begotten from the lions.”( 8 ) In reply to him, it has, says he, been declared, “Israel, thou art my child: fear not; even though thou passest through rivers, they shall not drown thee; even though thou passest through fire, it shall not scorch thee.”(9) By rivers he means, says he, the moist substance of generation, and by fire the impulsive principle and desire for generation. “Thou art mine; fear not.” And again, he says, “If a mother forget her children, so as not to have pity on them and give them food, I also will forget you.”(10) Adam, he says, speaks to his own men: “But even though a woman forget these things, yet I will not forget you. I have painted you on my hands.” In regard, however, of his ascension, that is his regeneration, that he may become spiritual, not carnal, the Scripture, he says, speaks (thus): “Open the gates, ye who are your rulers; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in,” that is a wonder of wonders.(11) “For who,” he says, “is this King of glory? A worm, and not a man; a reproach of man, and an outcast of the people; himself is the King of glory, and powerful in war.”(12)<br />
And by war he means the war that is in the body, because its frame has been made out of hostile elements; as it has been written, he says, “Remember the conflict that exists in the body.”(13) Jacob, he says, saw this entrance and this gate in his journey into Mesopotamia, that is, when from a child he was now becoming a youth and a man; that is, (the entrance and gate) were made known unto him as he journeyed into Mesopotamia. But Mesopotamia, he says, is the current of the great ocean flowing from the midst of the Perfect Man; and he was astonished at the celestial gate, exclaiming, “How terrible is this place! it is nought else than the house of God, and this (is) the gate of heaven.”(1) On account of this, he says, Jesus uses the words, “I am the true gate.”(2) Now he who makes these statements is, he says, the Perfect Man that is imaged from the unportrayable one from above. The Perfect Man therefore cannot, he says, be saved, unless, entering in through this gate, he be born again. But this very one the Phrygians, he says, call also PAPA, because he tranquillized all things which, prior to his manifestation, were confusedly and dissonantly moved. For the name, he says, of PAPA belongs simultaneously to all creatures(3)-celestial, and terrestrial, and infernal–who exclaim, Cause to cease, cause to cease the discard of the world, and make “peace for those that are afar off,” that is, for material and earthly beings; and “peace for those that are near,”(4) that is, for perfect men that are spiritual and endued with reason. But the Phrygians denominate this same also “corpse”–buried in the body, as it were, in a mausoleum and tomb. This, he says, is what has been declared, “Ye are whited sepulchres, full,” he says, “of dead men’s bones within,”(5) because there is not in you the living man. And again he exclaims, “The dead shall start forth from the graves,”(6) that is, from the earthly bodies, being born again spiritual, not carnal. For this, he says, is the Resurrection that takes place through the gate of heaven, through which, he says, all those that do not enter remain dead. These same Phrygians, however, he says, affirm again that this very (man), as a consequence of the change, (becomes) a god. For, he says, he becomes a god when, having risen from the dead, he will enter into heaven through a gate of this kind. Paul the apostle, he says, knew of this gate, partially opening it in a mystery, and stating “that he was caught up by an angel, and ascended as far as the second and third heaven into paradise itself; and that he beheld sights and heard unspeakable words which it would not be possible for man to declare.”(7)<br />
These are, he says, what are by all called the secret mysteries, “which (also we speak), not in words taught of human wisdom, but in those taught of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him.”(8) And these are, he says, the ineffable mysteries of the Spirit, which we alone are acquainted with. Concerning these, he says, the Saviour has declared, “No one can come unto me, except my heavenly Father draw some one unto me.”(9) For it is very difficult, he says, to accept and receive this great and ineffable mystery. And again, it is said, the Saviour has declared, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”(10) And it is necessary that they who perform this (will), not hear it merely, should enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again, he says, the Saviour has declared, “The publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of heaven before you.”(11) For “the publicans,” he says, are those who receive the revenues(12) of all things;(13) but we, he says, are the publicans, “unto whom the ends of the ages have come.”(14) For “the ends,” he says, are the seeds scattered from the unportrayable one upon the world, through which the whole cosmical system is completed; for through these also it began to exist. And this, he says, is what has been declared: “The sower went forth to sow. And some fell by the wayside, and was trodden down; and some on the rocky places, and sprang up,” he says, “and on account of its having no depth (of soil), it withered and died; and some,” he says, “fell on fair and good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty fold. Who hath ears,” he says, “to hear, let him hear.”(15) The meaning of this, he says, is as follows, that none becomes a hearer of these mysteries, unless only the perfect Gnostics. This, he says, is the fair and good land which Moses speaks of: “I will bring you into a fair and good land, into a land flowing with milk and honey.”(16) This, he says, is the honey and the milk, by tasting which those that are perfect become kingless, and share in the Pleroma. This, he says, is the Pleroma, through which all existent things that are produced(17) have from the ingenerable one been both produced and completed.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">And this same (one) is styled also by( 18 ) the Phrygians “unfruitful.” For he is unfruitful when he is carnal, and causes the desire of the flesh. This, he says, is what is spoken: “Every tree not producing good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.”(1) For these fruits, he says, are only rational living men, who enter m through the third gate. They say, forsooth, “Ye devour the dead, and make the living; (but) if ye eat the living, what will ye do?” They assert, however, that the living “are rational faculties and minds, and men–pearls of that unportrayable one cast before the creature below.”(2) This, he says, is what (Jesus) asserts: “Throw not that which is holy unto the dogs, nor pearls unto the swine.”(3) Now they allege that the work of swine and dogs is the intercourse of the woman with a man. And the Phrygians, he says, call this very one “goat-herd” (Aipolis), not because, he says, he is accustomed to feed the goats female and male, as the natural (men) use the name, but because, he says, he is “Aipolis”–that is, always ranging over,–who both revolves and carries around the entire cosmical system by his revolutionary motion. For the word “Polein” signifies to turn and change things; whence, he says, they all call the twos centre of the heaven poles (Poloi). And the poet says:–</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“What sea-born sinless sage comes hither,<br />
Undying Egyptian Proteus? “(4) </span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana; line-height: 1.4em;">He is not undone,(5) he says,(6) but revolves as it were, and goes round himself. Moreover, also, cities in which we dwell, because we turn and go round in them, are denominated “Poleis.” In this manner, he says, the Phygians call this one “Aipolis,” inasmuch as he everywhere ceaselessly turns all things, and changes them into their own peculiar (functions). And the Phrygians style him, he says, “very fruitful” likewise, “because,” says he, “more numerous are the children of the desolate one, than those of her which hath an husband;”(7) that is, things by being born again become immortal and abide for ever in great numbers, even though the things that are produced may be few; whereas things carnal, he says, are all corruptible, even though very many things (of this type) are produced. For this reason, he says, “Rachel wept(8) for her children, and would not,” says (the prophet), “be comforted; sorrowing for them, for she knew,” says he, “that they are not.”(9) But Jeremiah likewise utters lamentation for Jerusalem below, not the city in Phoenicia, but the corruptible generation below. For Jeremiah likewise, he says, was aware of the Perfect Man, of him that is born again–of water and the Spirit not carnal. At least Jeremiah himself remarked: “He is a man, and who shall know him?”(10) In this manner, (the Naassene) says, the knowledge of the Perfect Man is exceedingly profound, and difficult of comprehension. For, he says, the beginning of perfection is a knowledge of man, whereas knowledge of God is absolute perfection.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"> The Phrygians, however, assert, he says, that he is likewise “a green ear of corn reaped.” And after the Phrygians, the Athenians, while initiating people into the Eleusinian rites, likewise display to those who are being admitted to the highest grade at these mysteries, the mighty, and marvellous, and most perfect secret suitable for one initiated into the highest mystic truths: (I allude to) an ear of corn in silence reaped. But this ear of corn is also (considered) among the Athenians to constitute the perfect enormous illumination (that has descended) from the unportrayable one, just as the Hierophant himself (declares); not, indeed, emasculated like Attis,(11) but made a eunuch by means of hemlock, and despising(12) all carnal generation. (Now) by night in Eleusis, beneath a huge fire, (the Celebrant,) enacting the great and secret mysteries, vociferates and cries aloud, saying, “August Brimo has brought forth a consecrated son, Brimus;” that is, a potent (mother has been delivered of) a potent child. But revered, he says, is the generation that is spiritual, heavenly, from above, and potent is he that is so born. For the mystery is called “Eleusin” and “Anactorium.” “Eleusin,” because, he says, we who are spiritual come flowing down from Adam above; for the word “eleusesthai” is, he says, of the same import with the expression “to come.” But “Anactorium” is of the same import with the expression “to ascend upwards.” This, he says, is what they affirm who have been initiated in the mysteries of the Eleusinians. It is, however, a regulation of law, that those who have been admitted into the lesser should again be initiated into the Great Mysteries. For greater destinies obtain greater portions. But the inferior mysteries, he says, are those of Proserpine below; in regard of which mysteries, and the path which leads thither, which is wide and spacious, and conducts those that are perishing to Proserpine, the poet likewise says:–</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">These, he says, are the inferior mysteries, those appertaining to carnal generation. Now, those men who are initiated into these inferior (mysteries) ought to pause, and (then) be admitted into the great (and) heavenly (ones). For they, he says, who obtain their shares (in this mystery), receive greater portions. For this, he says, is the gate of heaven; and this a house of God, where the Good Deity dwells alone. And into this (gate), he says, no unclean person shall enter, nor one that is natural or carnal; but it is reserved for the spiritual only. And those who come hither ought to cast off(1) their garments, and become all of them bridegrooms, emasculated through the virginal spirit. For this is the virgin(2) who carries in her womb and conceives and brings forth a son, not animal, not corporeal, but blessed for evermore. Concerning these, it is said, the Saviour has expressly declared that “straight and narrow is the way that leadeth unto life, and few there are that enter upon it; whereas broad and spacious is the way that leadeth unto destruction, and many there are that pass through it.”(3)</span></div>

IV.–FURTHER USE MADE OF THE SYSTEM OF THE PHRYGIANS; MODE OF CELEBRATING THE MYSTERIES; THE MYSTERY OF THE “GREAT MOTHER;” THESE MYSTERIES HAVE A JOINT OBJECT OF WORSHIP WITH THE NAASSENI; THE NAASSENI ALLEGORIZE THE SCRIPTURAL ACCOUNT OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN; THE ALLEGORY APPLIED TO THE LIFE OF JESUS.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">The Phrygians, however, further assert that the father of the universe is “Amygdalus,” not a tree, he says, but that he is “Amygdalus” who previously existed; and he having in himself the perfect fruit, as it were, throbbing and moving in the depth, rent his breasts, and produced his now invisible, and nameless, and ineffable child. respecting whom we shall speak. For the word “Amyxai” signifies, as it were, to burst and sever through, as he says (happens) in the case of inflamed bodies, and which have in themselves any tumour; and when doctors have cut this, they call it “Amychai.” In this way, he says, the Phrygians call him “Amygdalus,” from which proceeded and was born the Invisible (One), “by whom all things were made, and nothing was made without Him.”(4) And the Phrygians say that what has been thence produced is “Syrictas” (piper), because the Spirit that is born is harmonious. “For God,” he says, “is Spirit; wherefore,” he affirms, “neither in this mountain do the true worshippers worship, nor in Jerusalem, but in spirit. For the adoration of the perfect ones,” he says, “is spiritual, not carnal.”(5) The Spirit, however, he says, is there where likewise the Father is named, and the Son is there born from this Father. This, he says, is the many-named, thousand-eyed Incomprehensible One, of whom every nature–each, however, differently–is desirous. This, he says, is the word of God, which, he says, is a word of revelation of the Great Power. Wherefore it will be sealed, and hid, and concealed, lying in the habitation where lies the basis of the root of the universe, viz. Aeons, Powers, Intelligences, Gods, Angels, delegated Spirits, Entities, Nonentities, Generables, Ingenerables, Incomprehensibles, Comprehensibles, Years, Months, Days, Hours, (and) Invisible Point from which(6) what is least begins to increase gradually. That which is, he says, nothing, and which consists of nothing, inasmuch as it is indivisible–(I mean) a point–will become through its own reflective power a certain incomprehensible magnitude. This, he says, is the kingdom of heaven, the grain of mustard seed,(7) the point which is indivisible in the body; and, he says, no one knows this (point) save the spiritual only. This, he says, is what has been spoken: “There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.”( 8 )<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">They rashly assume in this manner, that whatsoever things have been said and done by all men, (may be made to harmonize) with their own particular mental view, alleging that all things become spiritual. Whence likewise they assert, that those exhibiting themselves in theatres,–not even these say or do anything without premeditation. Therefore, he says, when, on the people assembling in the theatres, any one enters clad in a remarkable robe, carrying a harp and playing a tune (upon it, accompanying it) with a song of the great mysteries, he speaks as follows, not knowing what he says: “Whether (thou art) the race of Saturn or happy Jupiter,(9) or mighty Rhea, Hail, Attis, gloomy mutilation of Rhea. Assyrians style thee thrice-longed-for Adonis, and the whole of Egypt (calls thee) Osiris, celestial horn of the moon; Greeks denominate (thee) Wisdom; Samothracians, venerable Adam; Haemonians, Corybas; and them Phrygians (name thee) at one time Papa, at another time Corpse, or God, or Fruitless, or Aipolos, or green Ear of Corn that has been reaped, or whom the very fertile Amygdalus produced–a man, a musician.” This, he says, is multiform Attis, whom while they celebrate in a hymn, they utter these words: “I will hymn Attis, son of Rhea, not with the buzzing sounds of trumpets, or of Idaean pipers, which accord with (the voices of) the Curetes; but I will mingle (my song) with Apollo’s music of harps, ‘evoe, evan,’ inasmuch as thou art Pan, as thou art Bacchus, as thou art shepherd of brilliant stars.”<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">On account of these and such like reasons, these constantly attend the mysteries called those of the “Great Mother,” supposing especially that they behold by means of the ceremonies performed there the entire mystery. For these have nothing more than the ceremonies that are performed there, except that they are not emasculated: they merely complete the work of the emasculated. For with the utmost severity and vigilance they enjoin (on their votaries) to abstain, as if they were emasculated, from intercourse with a woman. The rest, however, of the proceeding (observed in these mysteries), as we have declared at some length, (they follow) just as (if they were) emasculated persons. And they do not worship any other object but Naas, (from thence) being styled Naasseni. But Naas is the serpent from whom, i.e., from the word Naas, (the Naassene) says, are all that under heaven are denominated temples (Naous). And (he states) that to him alone–that is, Naas–is dedicated every shrine and every initiatory rite, and every mystery; and, in general, that a religious ceremony could not be discovered under heaven, in which a temple (Naos) has no existence; and in the temple itself is Naas, from whom it has received its denomination of temple (Naos). And these affirm that the serpent is a moist substance, just as Thales also, the Milesian, (spoke of water as an originating principle,) and that nothing of existing things, immortal or mortal, animate or inanimate, could consist at all without him. And that all things are subject unto him, and that he is good, and that he has all things in himself, as in the horn of the one-horned bull;(1) so as that he imparts beauty and bloom to all things that exist according to their own nature and peculiarity, as if passing through all, just as (“the river) proceeding forth from Edem, and dividing itself into four heads.”(2)<br />
They assert, however, that Edem is the brain, as it were, bound and tightly fastened in encircling robes, as if (in) heaven. But they suppose that man, as far as the head only, is Paradise, therefore that “this river, which proceeds out of i Edem,” that is, from the brain, “is divided into four heads,(3) and that the name of the first river is called Phison; this is that which encompasseth all the land of Havilath: there is gold, and the gold of that land is excellent, and there is bdellium and the onyx stone.” This, he says, is the eye, which, by its honour (among the rest of the bodily organs), and its colours, furnishes testimony to what is spoken. “But the name of the second river is Gihon: this is that which compasseth the land of Ethiopia.” This, he says, is hearing, since Gihon is (a tortuous stream), resembling a sort of labyrinth. “And the name of the third is Tigris. This is that which floweth over against (the country of) the Assyrians.” This, he says,(4) is smelling, employing the exceedingly rapid current of the stream (as an analogy of this sense). But it flows over against (the country of) the Assyrians, because in every act of respiration following upon expiration, the breath drawn in from the external atmosphere enters with swifter motion and greater force. For this, he says, is the nature of respiration. “But the fourth river is Euphrates.” This, they assert, is the mouth, through which are the passage outwards of prayer, and the passage inwards of nourishment. (The mouth) makes glad, and nurtures and fashions the Spiritual Perfect Man. This, he says, is “the water that is above the firmament,”(5) concerning which, he says, the Saviour has declared, “If thou knewest who it is that asks, thou wouldst have asked from Him, and He would have given you to drink living, bubbling water.”(6) Into this water, he says, every nature enters, choosing its own substances; and its peculiar quality comes to each nature from this water, he says, more than iron does to the magnet, and the gold to the backbone(7) of the sea falcon, and the chaff to the amber.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">But if any one, he says, is blind from birth, and has never beheld the true light, “which lighteneth every man that cometh into the world,”(8) by us let him recover his sight, and behold, as it were, through some paradise planted with every description of tree, and supplied with abundance of fruits, water coursing its way through all the trees and fruits; and he will see that from one and the same water the olive chooses for itself and draws the oil, and the vine the wine; and (so is it with) the rest of plants, according to each genus. That Man, however, he says, is of no reputation in the world, but of illustrious fame in heaven, being betrayed by those who are ignorant (of his perfections) to those who know him not, being accounted as a drop from a cask.(9) We, however, he says, are spiritual, who, from the life-giving water of Euphrates, which flows through the midst of Babylon, choose our own peculiar quality as we pass through the true gate, which is the blessed Jesus. And of all men, we Christians alone are those who in the third gate celebrate the mystery, and are anointed there with the unspeakable chrism from a horn, as David (was anointed), not from an earthen vessel,(1) he says, as (was) Saul, who held converse with the evil demon(2) of carnal concupiscence.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">The foregoing remarks, then, though few out of many, we have thought proper to bring forward. For innumerable are the silly and crazy attempts of folly. But since, to the best of our ability, we have explained the unknown Gnosis, it seemed expedient likewise to adduce the following point. This psalm of theirs has been composed, by which they seem to celebrate all the mysteries of the error (advanced by) them in a hymn, couched in the following terms:–</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">The world’s producing law was Primal Mind,(3)<br />
And next was First-born’s outpoured Chaos;<br />
And third, the soul received its law of toil:<br />
Encircl’d, therefore, with an acqueous(4) form,<br />
With care o’erpowered it succumbs to death.<br />
Now holding sway, it eyes the light,<br />
And now it weeps on misery flung;<br />
Now it mourns, now it thrills with joy;<br />
Now it wails, now it hears its doom;<br />
Now it hears its doom, now it dies,<br />
And now it leaves us, never to return.<br />
It, hapless straying, treads the maze of ills.<br />
But Jesus said, Father, behold,<br />
A strife of ills across the earth<br />
Wanders from thy breath (of wrath);<br />
But bitter Chaos (man) seeks to shun,<br />
And knows not how to pass it through.<br />
On this account, O Father, send me;<br />
Bearing seals, I shall descend;<br />
Through ages whole I’ll sweep,<br />
All mysteries I’ll unravel,<br />
And forms of Gods I’ll show;<br />
And secrets of the saintly path,<br />
Styled “Gnosis,” I’ll impart.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">These doctrines, then, the Naasseni attempt to establish, calling themselves Gnostics. But since the error is many-headed and diversified, resembling, in truth, the hydra that we read of in history; when, at one blow, we have struck off the heads of this (delusion) by means of refutation, employing the wand of truth, we shall entirely exterminate the monster. For neither do the remaining heresies present much difference of aspect from this, having a mutual connection through (the same) spirit of error. But since, altering the words and the names of the serpent, they wish that there should be many heads of the serpent, neither thus shall we fail thoroughly to refute them as they desire.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">After we have, not with violence, burst through the labyrinth(1) of heresies, but have unravelled (their intricacies) through a refutation merely, or, in other words, by the force of truth, we approach the demonstration of the truth itself. For then the artificial sophisms of error will be exposed in all their inconsistency, when we shall succeed in establishing whence it is that the definition of the truth has been derived. The truth has not taken its principles from the wisdom of the Greeks, nor borrowed its doctrines, as secret mysteries, from the tenets of the Egyptians, which, albeit silly, are regarded amongst them with religious veneration as worthy of reliance. Nor has it been formed out of the fallacies which enunciate the incoherent (conclusions arrived at through the) curiosity of the Chaldeans. Nor does the truth owe its existence to astonishment, through the operations of demons, for the irrational frenzy of the Babylonians. But its definition is constituted after the manner in which every true definition is, viz., as simple and unadorned. A definition such as this, provided it is made manifest, will of itself refute error. And although we have very frequently propounded demonstrations, and with sufficient fulness elucidated for those willing (to learn) the rule of the truth; yet even now, after having discussed all the opinions put forward by the Greeks and heretics, we have decided it not to be, at all events, unreasonable to introduce, as a sort of finishing stroke to the (nine) books preceding, this demonstration throughout the tenth book.</span></div>

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Having, therefore, embraced (a consideration of) the tenets of all the wise men among the Greeks in four books, and the doctrines propounded by the heresiarchs in five, we shall now exhibit the doctrine concerning the truth in one, having first presented in a summary the suppositions entertained severally by all. For the dogmatists of the Greeks, dividing philosophy into three parts, in this manner devised from time to time their speculative systems;(2) some denominating their system Natural, and others Moral, but others Dialectical Philosophy. And the ancient thinkers who called their science Natural Philosophy, were those mentioned in book i. And the account which they furnished was after this mode: Some of them derived all things from one, whereas others from more things than one. And of those who derived all things from one, some derived them from what was devoid of quality, whereas others from what was endued with quality. And among those who derived all things from quality, some derived them from fire. and some from air, and some from water, and some from earth. And among those who derived the universe from more things than one, some derived it from numerable, but others from infinite quantities. And among those who derived all things from numerable quantities, some derived them from two, and others from four, and others from five, and others from six. And among those who derived the universe from infinite quantities, some derived entities from things similar to those generated, whereas others from things dissimilar. And among these some derived entities from things incapable of, whereas others from things capable of, passion. From a body devoid of quality and endued with unity, the Stoics, then, accounted for the generation of the universe. For, according to them, matter devoid of quality, and in all its parts susceptible of change, constitutes an originating principle of the universe. For, when an alteration of this ensues, there is generated fire, air, water, earth. The followers, however, of Hippasus, and Anaximander, and Thales the Milesian, are disposed to think that all things have been generated from one (an entity), endued with quality. Hippasus of Metapontum and Heraclitus the Ephesian declared the origin of things to be from fire, whereas Anaximander from air, but Thales from water, and Xenophanes from earth. “For from earth,” says he, “are all things, and all things terminate in the earth.”(1)</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<div style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">But among those who derive all entities from more things than one, and from numerable quantities, the poet Homer asserts that the universe consists of two substances, namely earth and water; at one time expressing himself thus:–<br />
<br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“The source of gods was Sea and Mother Earth.”(2)<br />
And on another occasion thus:–<br />
<br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“But indeed ye all might become water and earth.”(3)<br />
And Xenophanes of Colophon seems to coincide with him, for he says:–<br />
<br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“We all are sprung from water and from earth.”(4)<br />
Euripides, however, (derives the universe) from earth and air, as one may ascertain from the following assertion of his:–<br />
<br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“Mother of all, air and earth, I sing.”(5)<br />
But Empedocles derives the universe from four principles, expressing himself thus:–<br />
<br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“Four roots of all things hear thou first:<br />
Brilliant Jove, and life-giving Juno and Aidoneus,<br />
And Nestis, that with tears bedews the Mortal Font.”(6) </span></div>
<div style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Ocellus, however, the Lucanian, and Aristotle, derive the universe from five principles; for, along with the four elements, they have assumed the existence of a fifth, and (that this is) a body with a circular motion; and they say that from this, things celestial have their being. But the disciples of Empedocles supposed the generation of the universe to have proceeded from six principles. For in the passage where he says, “Four roots of all things hear thou first,” he produces generation out of four principles. When, however, he subjoins,–<br />
<br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">“Ruinous Strife apart from these, equal in every point,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana; line-height: 1.4em;">And with them Friendship equal in length and breadth,”(7)–</span></div>
<div style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana; line-height: 1.4em;">he also delivers six principles of the universe, four of them material–earth, water, fire, and air; but two of them formative–Friendship and Discord. The followers, however, of Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, and of Democritus, and of Epicurus, and multitudes of others, have given it as their opinion that the generation of the universe proceeds from infinite numbers of atoms; and we have previously made partial mention of these philosophers. But Anaxagoras derives the universe from things similar to those that are being produced; whereas the followers of Democritus and Epicurus derived the universe from things both dissimilar (to the entities produced), and devoid of passion, that is, from atoms. But the followers of Heraclides of Pontus, and of Asclepiades, derived the universe from things dissimilar (to the entities produced), and capable of passion, as if from incongruous corpuscles. But the disciples of Plato affirm that these entities are from three principles–God, and Matter, and Exemplar. He divides matter, however, into four principles–fire, water, earth, and air. And (he says) that God is the Creator of this (matter), and that Mind is its exemplar.( 8 )</span></div>

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Persuaded, then, that the principle of physiology is confessedly discovered to be encumbered with difficulties for all these philosophers, we ourselves also shall fearlessly declare concerning the examples of the truth, as to how they are, and as we have felt confident that they are. But we shall previously furnish an explanation, in the way of epitome, of the tenets of the heresiarchs, in order that, by our having set before our readers the tenets of all made well known by this (plan of treatment), we may exhibit the truth in a plain and familiar (form).</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #343434; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-right: 0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">But since it so appears expedient, let us begin first from the public worshippers of the serpent. The Naasseni call the first principle of the universe a Man, and that the same also is a Son of Man; and they divide this man into three portions. For they say one part of him is rational, and another psychical, but a third earthly. And they style him Adamas, and suppose that the knowledge appertaining to him is the originating cause of the capacity of knowing God. And the Naassene asserts that all these rational, and psychical, and earthly qualities have retired into Jesus, and that through Him these three substances simultaneously have spoken unto the three genera of the universe. These allege that there are three kinds of existence–angelic, psychical, and earthly; and that there are three churches–angelic, psychical, and earthly; and that the names for these are–chosen, called, and captive. These are the heads of doctrine advanced by them, as far as one may briefly comprehend them. They affirm that James, the brother of the Lord, delivered these tenets to Mariamne, by such a statement belying both.</span></div>

Donate now to our growing movement.</a></h2><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">Afghanistan and Iraq Veterans, hand-in-hand with Afghans for Peace, made history this Sunday when we led a march of thousands against NATO then returned our Global War on Terror medals to NATO's generals. With women from Afghans for Peace in the lead, almost fifty Afghanistan and Iraq veterans marched in formation, donning military uniforms and chanting and singing cadences: "No NATO, no war! We don't work for your no more!" Just blocks from the location where the NATO summit was taking place behind closed doors, veterans mounted the stage, announcing one by one why we were returning our war medals then throwing them towards the NATO summit.</div><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">"My name is Maggie Martin. I was a sergeant in the Army. I did two tours in Iraq. No amount of medals, ribbons or flags can cover the amount of human suffering caused by these wars. We don't want this garbage. We want our human rights. We want our right to heal."</div><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">"My name is Brock McIntosh. I was in the Army National Guard and served in Afghanistan from November '08 to August '09. Two months ago, I visited the monument at Ground Zero for my first time with two Afghans. A tragic monument. I'm going to toss this medal today for the 33,000 civilians who have died in Afghanistan that won't have a monument built for them. And this is for the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers."</div><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">Women from Afghans for Peace stood on stage with an Afghan flag alongside the veterans as they discarded their medals. The ceremony closed with the recitation of a poem by Saba Maher, a member of Afghans for Peace. Maher asked the crowd to bow their heads for a moment of silence for those who have lived under occupation. Many hung their heads and cried as the crowd fell silent.</div><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">Watch the video here: <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2012/5/21/us_army_vets_join_with_afghans" style="color: #0071b3; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.democracynow.org/2012/5/21/us_army_vets_join_with_afghans</a></div><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="image-caption-container image-caption-container-none" style="display: inline-block; float: right; height: inherit !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 5px; width: 210px;"><img alt="" class="image-medium caption caption-processed" src="http://www.ivaw.org/sites/default/files/public/resize/remote/8c37af71a40154a3d7529dd1e8369745-210x175.png" style="border: 1px solid rgb(216, 216, 216); height: 175px; margin-bottom: 3px; vertical-align: top; width: 210px;" title="" /><span class="image-caption" style="display: block;"><span class="image-title-caption" style="color: #666666; display: block; font-weight: bold;"></span><span class="image-alt-caption" style="color: #666666; display: block; font-size: 12px;"></span></span></span> </div><div style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">We invite you, our members and supporters, to share in a moment that was one of the most significant in our lives.

To draw them from these feasts he tells them, that they are the temples of the Holy Spirit, and that consequently they ought not to make themselves the temples of devils, by eating of the sacrifices of devils. Calmet. — S. Paul, in this and the foregoing verses, clearly shews that the faithful ought not to frequent, on any account, the tabernacles of those who have left the Church, i.e. the true faith such as those calling themselves the Novus Ordo or in other words, the New Order or New Sect - the New Church, for there is NO such thing; the Vatican II apostasy and all the antipopes thereof and their minions - John xxiii, Paul vi, John Paul i, John Paul ii, Benedict xvi and any other to come after them, we may have NOTHING to do with on pain of penalty of eternal damnation by the Just and True and Righteous and HOLY GOD. In the old law, Moses was ordered to command the ancients of Israel, on the part of God, to <i>depart from the tents of those wicked men, lest they be involved in their sins. </i>Numb. xvi. 27.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

All the Jews who had any conscience at all in Occupied Palestine, whether Sabras (born there) or not, started leaving in the 1980's. The obvious solution is for all Palestinian people to simply leave and go anywhere else. In about six months to 4 years when the world looks back in at what Occupied Palestine looks like when there are only the Jews and PNA left there for that length of time, what we will probably find is only rubble to be cleared and bodies to be buried. Cancer always finally destroys itself. I am quite serious, in preaching to the multitudes about the destruction of Jerusalem, which He foretold, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ warned them to flee and not be there when the end came. The Christians listened and fled to Pella (East of the Jordan River) when Jerusalem fell and NONE of the Christians were harmed. The Perfidious and always bloody Jews where utterly destroyed by the Roman General Titus in 70 A.D. Jesus Christ speaking. Matthew 24:15 When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand. 16 Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains: 17 And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. 19 And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days. 20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath. There will be right of full return when the ZioNazis are all gone. Let God deal with this plague of locusts. Right now the Palestinians are only human shields for the ZioNazis. Don't be used that way.</span></div>

One of their sons, a faithful witness to God amongst many others.<br />
<br />
<b>Procopius, First of the Palestinian Martyrs during Diocletian's persecution of Christians</b><br />
<br />
<br />
Rev. Alban Butler (1711–73). Volume VII: July.<br />
The Lives of the Saints. 1866.<br />
<br />
July 8<br />
<b>St. Procopius, Martyr</b><br />
<br />
HE was a native of Jerusalem, but lived at Bethsan, otherwise called Scythopolis, where he was reader in the church, and also performed the function of exorcist, in dispossessing demoniacs, and that of interpreter of the Greek tongue into the Syro-Chaldaic. 1 He was a divine man, say his acts, and had always lived in the practice of great austerity, and patience, and in perpetual chastity. He took no other sustenance than bread and water, and usually abstained from all food two or three days together. He was well skilled in the sciences of the Greeks, but much more in that of the holy scriptures; the assiduous meditation on which nourished his soul, and seemed also to give vigour and strength to his emaciated body. He was admirable in all virtues, particularly in a heavenly meekness and humility. Diocletian’s bloody edicts against the Christians reached Palestine in April, 303, and Procopius was the first person who received the crown of martyrdom in that country, in the aforesaid persecution. He was apprehended at Bethsan, and led, with several others, bound to Cæsarea, our city, say the acts, and was hurried straight before Paulinus, prefect of the province. 2 The judge commanded the martyr to sacrifice to the gods. The servant of Christ answered he never could do it; and this he declared with a firmness and resolution that seemed to wound the heart of the prefect as if it had been pierced with a dagger. The martyr added, there is no God but one, who is the author and preserver of the world. The prefect then bade him sacrifice to the four emperors, namely Diocletian, Herculius, Galerius, and Constantius. This the saint again refused to do, and had scarcely returned his answer than the judge passed sentence upon him, and he was immediately led to execution and beheaded. He is honoured by the Greeks with the title of The Great Martyr. See his original Chaldaic Acts, published by Steph. Assemani, t. 2, p. 166, and a less accurate old Latin translation, given by Ruinart, and by Henry Valois, Not. in Euseb. l. 8. The author of these acts was Eusebius of Cæsarea, an eye-witness. 1<br />
<br />
Note 1. Grotius and others demonstrate the Greek language to have been, in the first ages of Christianity, common in Palestine; but this cannot be extended to all the country people, as this passage and other proofs clearly show. Hence Eusebius wrote his Acts of the Martyrs of Palestine in Syro-Chaldaic; but abridged the same in Greek, in the eighth book of his Church History.<br />
<br />
Note 2. The old Latin Acts write his name Flavian, and some Fabian, by mistaking the Syriac name, which is written without vowels.<br />

When Abraham migrated to the Land of Canaan it was a well-developed country. [A recent theory holds that] The Philistines entered the Land of Canaan from Crete about 1250 B.C. and settled in the coastal areas. [but in fact the Canaanites had been there since shortly after the flood of Noah and are still there.] They established five kingdoms, Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Gath and Ekron. They were the people who gave Palestine its name, and the Land of Canaan since Roman times has been known as Palestine.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">[Moses brought the Israelites to the edge of Canaan and Joshua brought them in 3,500 years ago, while a recent theory mistakenly holds that the first incursion was] About 1100 B.C. [when] Israelite tribes entered the Land of Canaan at Jericho. They conquered a part of the Land of Canaan and established a kingdom in Judea about 1000 B.C. About 935 B.C. the kingdom was divided into the Kingdom of Israel in the north and the Kingdom of Judah in the south. About 725 B.C. the Kingdom of Israel was conquered and many Israelites were taken to Babylonia. About 600 B.C. the Kingdom of Judah was conquered by the Babylonians. The Israelite tribes were either exiled to Babylonia or were absorbed by the Canaanites. This means that Israelite rule over a part of Palestine lasted only about 400 years, during which time the majority of the population were Canaanite and mixed Canaanite-Israelite. Many of the Israelite kings of the two kingdoms followed Canaanite religions.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The Greeks conquered and ruled the Land of Canaan from 330 B.C. until 70 B.C. The Romans conquered and ruled the country from 63 B.C. until 614 A.D. Jesus Christ was born and Christianity spread in the country. Many Jews in Palestine became Christians. Many of the apostles were Jews.<br />
<br />
{As a result of strife between Jews and Christians many Jews left Palestine for neighboring countries. <b>[Ed. note - the Jews rebelled against God and His Christ and the Roman authorities for which God used His rod of vengeance, the Roman general Titus and his legions to destroy and disperse the Jews expelling them forevermore as a nation from the Holy Land.]</b>} The Arabs conquered Palestine in 638 A.D. and exercised a profound influence on the country. The indigenous population of Palestine at that time adopted the Arabic language and many became Muslims. Arab rule over Palestine lasted from 638 to 1517 A.D., except for a brief period of Crusader rule. The Ottoman Turks ruled Palestine from 1517 until 1918, during which time the indigenous population of Palestine remained Arabic in language and culture.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The Palestinians of today, who call themselves Palestinian Arabs, are Muslims and Christians. They are the descendants of all the races and nations which have lived in and conquered Palestine from the times of the Canaanites to the British occupation of Palestine in 1918. They are the cohesion of all of those races. The Christians among them are descendants of the first Christians, who adopted Christianity at the time of Jesus Christ and the Apostles. The Muslims are those who were either Christians or pagans and who adopted Islam after the Arab conquest of Palestine in the 7th century A.D.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Modem scholars have proved that it was in Babylonia that Judaism became that which it was and still is, maintaining that not only the Jewish religion, but all the traditions of Judaism, were developed in Babylonia during the exile. Professor H. Graetz states that “the Babylonian rather than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish race, its life’s breath, its very soul.”</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">In recent centuries, the center of Talmudic studies, and thus of Judaism, was in Eastern Europe among the descendants of the Khazars. The Khazars are a people of Turkish origin who lived in the kingdom of Khazaristan in the south of Russia. They were converted to Judaism in the 9th century A.D. Approximately [40 to] 90% of the Jews of today are of Khazar origin and have no ethnic or historical relationship with Palestine.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Therefore the Zionist historical claim to Palestine is unfounded and cannot be justified on historical, ethnic, legal or religious grounds. Chapter 39 of Nakhleh’s book contains thorough documentation of these facts based on historical, archaeological, ethnographic and scriptural sources which prove the falsity of the Zionist claims to Palestine and that Palestine has never been “the land of Israel.”</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">In order to create an alleged justification for the crime of genocide they have committed against the Palestinian Arabs, the Zionists have tried to convince the world that Palestine was practically uninhabited, “A Land Without People for a People without a Land.” They created and propagated the myths that the Palestinian Arabs were nomads or seminomads without a culture and civilization, that the Palestinians had neither a national identity nor existence, that the Palestinians lacked an economic structure and roots in the land.</span></span></span></div>

Absorbing or outlasting various conquerors, Palestinians tenaciously tended their ancestral farmlands, whether as freeholders or as tenants and mortgagees, and by the end of World War 11, mostly as unfettered freeholders again. In his study of the history of landholdings in Palestine, Abraham Granott, formerly Managing Director of the Jewish National Fund, admits:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">When the kingdom of Byzantium was subjugated by the Arabs, practically the whole of the land belonged to the big proprietors, the Emperor, the municipal authorities, and religious bodies, as churches and so on, <em>while the soil was cultivated by the former owners who had remained on their plots as tenants after the land had passed into the hands of large owners.</em>(1)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Thus the Palestinian farmers expelled by the Zionists in 1948 were the lineal descendants of the most ancient owners of the land. <b>The Palestinian Arabs are the indigenous population of Palestine, the descendants of the Philistines and of all the Semitic peoples who have lived in Palestine since the time of the Canaanites. Successive waves of newcomers, such as Philistines from Crete, Semites from Iraq, Romans, Greeks and Arabs came and intermarried with the native stock.</b></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The historical record disproves the Zionist lie that Palestine was undeveloped before the establishment of Jewish settlements in Palestine, Muqqadisi, a native of Jerusalem who died in 986 A.D., enumerated the principal products of Palestine in the tenth century:</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">..among which agricultural produce was particularly copious and prized: fruit of every kind (olives, figs, grapes, quinces, plums, apples, dates, walnuts, almonds, jujubes and bananas), some of which were exported, and crops for processing (sugarcane, indigo and sumac). But the mineral resources were equally important: chalk earth, marble from Bayt Djibrin, and sulphur mined in the Jordan Valley, not to mention the salt and bitumen of the Dead Sea. Stone, which was common in the country, was the most generally used building material for towns of any importance.(2)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The following description also provides evidence from the late tenth century: “Palestine is watered by the rains and the dew. Its trees and its ploughed lands do not need artificial irrigation. Palestine is the most fertile of the Syrian province.”(3)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">In 1615 the English traveler George Sandys described Palestine as “a land that flows with milk and honey; in the midst as it were of the habitable world, and under a temperate clime; adorned with beautiful mountains and luxurious valleys; the rocks producing excellent waters; and no part empty of delight or profit.”(4)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The German geographer Alexander Scholch concluded that between 1856 and 1882 “Palestine produced a relatively large agricultural surplus which was marketed in neighboring countries, such as Egypt and Lebanon, and increasingly exported to Europe. These exports included wheat, barley, dura, maise, sesame, olive oil, soap, oranges, vegetables and cotton. Among the European importers of Palestinian produce were France, England, Turkey, Greece, Italy and Malta.”(6)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Lawrence Oliphant, who visited Palestine in 1887, wrote that Palestine’s Valley of Esdraelon was “a huge green lake of waving wheat, with its village-crowned mounds rising from it like islands; and it presents one of the most striking pictures of luxuriant fertility which it is possible to conceive.”(7) This Palestinian wheat had historically played an important part in international commerce. According to Paul Masson, a French economic historian, “wheat shipments from the Palestinian port of Acre had helped to save southern France from famine on numerous occasions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.”(8)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Agricultural techniques in Palestine, especially in citriculture, were among the most advanced in the world long before the first Zionist settlers came to its shores. In 1856, the American consul in Jerusalem, Henry Gillman, “outlined reasons why orange growers in Florida would find it advantageous to adopt Palestinian techniques of grafting directly onto lemon trees.”^ In 1893, the British Consul advised his government of the value of importing “young trees procured from Jaffa” to improve production in Australia and South Africa.(10)</span></span></span></div>

The legend that the Zionists have created, that they made “the desert bloom with roses,” is totally without foundation. It is a ploy to gain donations from naive Jews throughout the world and to help extort economic aid from the American Congress. The economic achievements of Israel today are built totally on the capital base of lands, property and possessions usurped from the Palestinian Arabs.</span></span></span></div>

They point to the twelve cities which were either entirely Arab or of mixed Jewish and Arab population, in which the Palestinian Arabs owned more than 75% of the houses and apartment buildings, as well as commercial and industrial buildings, and claim that they were built by Zionist enterprise. They changed the names of Arab towns and villages, settling Jews in Arab homes and on usurped Arab lands, and deny that Palestinian Arabs ever lived in these places.</span></span></span></div>

In the words of Moshe Dayan:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">We came to this country which was already populated by Arabs, and we are establishing a Hebrew, that is, a Jewish State here. Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you, because these geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahalal arose in the place of Mahalul; Gevat in the place of Jibta; Sarid in the place of Haneifa and Kefar Yehoshua in the place of Tell Shaman. There is not one place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.(11)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">General (Reserve) Rehav’am Zeevi, who as a member of the Palmach and Haganah in 1948 took part in expelling the Palestinians, and who was Chief of Staff, southern command and central command, from 1955 to 1964, when he took part in theexpulsion of more Palestinians, addressed a symposium on the 2nd of March, 1988, of 150 Zionist leaders in the Zionist organization (Jewish Agency) House in Jerusalem. He was propagating the idea of the expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza. Joshua Brilliant, correspondent of the<em>Jerusalem Post</em>, who attended the meeting, stated the following:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Zeevi argued that “transfer” would be humane because the Palestinians would no longer be in the battle zone between the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Arab armies. Seeking legitimacy for his views in Israeli history, he said that more than 400 Arab localities which were still in existence in the late ’40′s had been replaced by Jewish settlements, including some affiliated with Mapam’s Hashomer Hatzair. Moreover, Levi Eshkol, the prime minister during the Six Day War, had set up an intelligence unit to deal with the question of expulsions. However, he was vague as to how the expulsions should take place. When pressed by a former intelligence chief, Aluf (res.) Shlomo Gazit, he advocated making Israel unattractive for Arabs. If they face unemployment, and a shortage of land and water, then “in a legitimate way, and in accordance with the Geneva Convention, we can create the necessary conditions for separation.”(12)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">These Arab towns and villages were not merely place names on a map. They were developed communities containing farms, factories, stores and schools, with an infrastructure of doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, merchants, mechanics, industrialists, workers and farmers which would be the envy of any developing country today. Yet the Zionists not only deny the developed state of the Palestine which they usurped or destroyed, but even deny the identity and existence of the Palestinians. They claim that the “British created the Palestinian identity .” This is easily belied by such evidence as the existence of a modem Arabic-language newspaper named Filastin, which addressed its readers as Palestinians in 1911, six years before the Balfour Declaration and well before the commencement of the British Mandate.(13)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">But truth has never been important to the Zionists. What they destroyed or usurped has to be presented as nonexistent. Thus in 1969 Golda Myerson (alias Meir), a Russian-born U.S. citizen and Israeli Prime Minister, had the audacity to ask at a press conference in the United States, “Who are the Palestinians?”</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The Palestinian Arabs are Christians and Muslims of great Arab cultural tradition and civilization, who had a well developed and prosperous economy before its destruction in 1948. Before 1948 they resided in twelve cities or major towns and 830 small towns and villages. Arab homes in the cities were either luxurious stone villas with beautiful gardens, or apartments with two to five bedrooms. These residences were well-furnished with modem furniture and household goods. No Arab home of the middle and upper classes contained less than eight valuable Persian carpets. All of these homes and their furnishing were usurped by Israel.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Even today, reduced to a refugee nation, the Palestinian Arabs have a high level of educational achievement. Palestinians hold many professional positions as doctors, lawyers, teachers and engineers, and operate successful commercial enterprises not only in the Arab world, but in the United States, Latin America, Western Europe and the British Commonwealth as well.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The growth rate of the Jewish economy in Palestine was artificial. In Mandate days, as in Israel today, it was totally dependent on outside subsidies to cover perpetual operating losses.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Contrary to the Zionist-created mythology, statistically and historically:</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">1. A prosperous, dynamically growing Palestinian Arab economy was destroyed by the Zionists, reducing the Palestinians to the status of a refugee nation.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">2. Most of the Palestinian Arabs’ lands, homes and possessions were usurped by the Zionists, and their owners were expelled.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">3. These lands, homes and possessions rightfully and legally belong to the Palestinian Arabs and provide the underlying capital base of everything of value in Israel today.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><strong>The political advancement of the Palestinian Arabs<br />
</strong></span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The Zionists’ claim that the Palestinian Arabs were without preparation for self-government is belied by the historical record.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The indigenous Palestine Arab population was recognized by Paragraph 4 of Article XXII of the League of Nations Covenant as “a provisionally independent nation.” Palestine was placed under a Class A mandate, the very status of which indicated that the indigenous population was well advanced toward self-determination. It was solely the Zionist desire to bring about a Jewish majority in Palestine through immigration, opposed by the Palestinian Arabs almost unanimously, that obstructed imminent Palestinian independence.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The Palestinian Arabs were recognized by the mandatory power as the majority of the inhabitants of Palestine to be fit for independence by the <em>White Paper</em> of May, 1939. It stated that the object of his Majesty’s Government is the “establishment of an independent Palestine state which should be one in which Arabs and Jews share in government in such a way as to ensure that the essential interests of each community are safeguarded.”</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><strong>Comparison between Arab and Jewish economies in Palestine</strong><br />
Economically, the Palestinian Arabs had been developing at an extraordinary rate made possible by the high profitability accompanying their productivity. The Jewish settlements in Palestine were unable to compete in profitability with the Palestinian Arabs. The Jewish social and economic stmcture was dependent upon outside subsidies both for capital expenditures and for operating expenses.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Contrary to the myths created by the Zionists, the Jewish settlements in Palestine were never self-supporting. The only profitable sector was comprised of those private Jewish citrus growers who engaged Arab labor, and British Colonial Office records show that these farmers were often the victims of murder, arson and extortion perpetrated by Zionist terrorists because of their employment of Arab labor.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The Jewish National Fund (Keren Hayesod Ltd.) is illustrative of the unprofitability of the Jewish settlements in Palestine. At least 63% of the donations received by the Keren Hayesod Ltd. between its founding in 1921 and 1945 was utilized to subsidize annual operating expenses. “The bulk of these donations derived from the United States of America, which provided 60-65% of the total.”(54)</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">In contrast, the Palestinian Arab economy received no outside assistance, yet had extraordinary real growth based upon high profitability and reinvestment.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">This is amply illustrated by the Palestinian Arab development of the Negev. By 1935 Palestinians were farming 2, 109,234 dunums in the Negev, while Jewish landholdings in the Negev in 1946 did not exceed 21,000 dunums.(55)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The desert did not bloom because of financial contributions to the Zionists by naive American Jews, but because of the industriousness and profitability of the Palestinian Arab economy.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Of all the Mandates of the League of Nations, the Palestinian Arabs were the most developed on a per capita basis. An advanced nation was destroyed by the Zionists, replacing a socially developed nation which was economically viable with an artificial colonial entity which is an economic disaster dependent upon outside assistance to survive.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><strong>The Palestine Arab Labor movement and trade unions<br />
</strong></span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The Palestinian Arab labor movement was very advanced compared with other countries in the Middle East. It differed fundamentally from the Jewish labor movement in Palestine as follows:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">1. The Palestinian Arab labor movement was primarily concerned with wages, working conditions and the health and well-being of its members, whereas the Jewish labor movement was largely motivated by political Zionist and Socialist ideology;</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">2. The Palestinian Arab labor movement endeavoured to reach equitable agreements with Arab employers, whereas the Jewish labor movement in Palestine endeavoured to replace private employers with businesses owned by the labor movement itself;</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">3. The Palestinian Arab labor movement was modeled on the American trade union concept of recognizing that the health and growth of the businesses where they were employed was important, whereas the Zionist labor movement was organized on the Marxist principle of eliminating employers in due course;</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">4. The Palestinian Arab labor movement was nationalist, but not racist, whereas the Jewish labor movement was, through the Zionist ideology, racist and colonialist in purpose and activity.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The Palestine Arab labor movement was a growing pool of skilled labor, whereas the Jewish labor movement stifled the growth of the economy by reducing even their labor owned enterprises to near bankruptcy, requiring subsidies from abroad to cover enormous annual deficits.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

In those days, the hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me forth in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of a plain that was full of bones; and He led me about through them on every side: now there were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceeding dry. And He said to me, Son of man, dost thou think these bones shall live? And I answered, O Lord God, Thou knowest. And He said to me, Prophesy concerning these bones, and say to them, Ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God to these bones, Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live, and I will lay sinews upon you, arid will cause flesh to grow over you, and will cover you with skin; and I will give you spirit, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord. And I prophesied as He had commanded me; and as I prophesied there was a noise, and behold a commotion; and the bones came together, each one to its joint. And I saw, and behold the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin was stretched out over them, but there was no spirit in them:And He said to me, Prophesy to the spirit; prophesy, O son of man, and say to the spirit, Thus saith the Lord God, Come, spirit from the four winds, and blow upon these slain, and let them live again. And I prophesied as He had commanded me; and the spirit came into them; and they lived; and they stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. And He said to me, Son of man, all these bones are the house of Israel. They say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and we are cut off. Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord God, I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your sepulchres, O My people, and will bring you out into the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened your sepulchres, and shall have brought you out of your graves, O My people; and shall have put My spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall make you rest upon your own land [be resurrected at the end of days and face Jesus Christ at His Parousia and be judged by the Lord Jesus Christ for all their deeds - this promise is to all people that have ever or will ever exist]; saith the Lord almighty.</div>

Since the 1920s, British Dope, Inc. gangsters have struck from their Canadian base to seize effective governmental power throughout the islands of the Caribbean, the countries of Central America, and certain watering holes in Mexico. The casino hotels sprang up, the titled nobility took up residence, the banking shells proliferated. As the U.S. media enticed Americans to spend more and more "leisure" money in these offshore principalities of Meyer Lansky's syndicate, Dope, Inc. struck directly at the U.S. post-war economy, and the U.S. government's executive branch.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The turning point in Britain's opium war was the five years following World War II. The key operational capability implanted by Dope, Inc. in the U.S.A. at that turning point was the Special Operations Executive (SOE) of British secret intelligence.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The law enforcement official confronts today two major obstacles in going after the narcotics trade. The first is the extraordinary degree of "inside" protection enjoyed by Dope, Inc. within the national intelligence establishment.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p419<br />
[A] problem for the law enforcement investigator confronts him because of his habit of working his way up, from the street level to the large-scale suppliers and then toward the real financial and political power of the international narcotics cartel. He confronts what the intelligence trade calls "cutouts"-layers of operatives who are political camouflage for their masters-on a scale that becomes more dense and complex as he goes up. Only District Attorney Garrison, fresh on the trail of a presidential assassination, reached far enough up through the "cutout" layers to hit at the top. His efforts were rewarded by drawing out into public confrontation the layers of direct British intelligence control.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Should the law enforcement official, however-with aid of this report-start at the top, then the picture becomes quite simple.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The British financiers of Dope, Inc. employ three major layers of political camouflage to run the drug trade in North America. The first is a front for Jewish-surnamed criminal elements.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">This cutout begins at the top with a cohesive grouping of "Hofjuden" (court Jews) who have served British monarchs and Venetian doges for generations. These families have a centuries-long unbroken tradition of attaching themselves to the predominant noble houses of Europe; the Venetians and Genoese, the nobility of Amsterdam, and then when the Dutch nobility was merged with the British in the so-called Glorious Revolution of 1688, the Hofjuden centered themselves around the British and have served it to this day.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p423<br />
The Bronfman family is best known to Americans through its ownership of Seagrams, the biggest liquor company in North America. The family's holdings stretch from whiskey, banking, mining, to real estate, and-although somewhat less publicized-narcotics. Today they are regarded as respectable and outstanding "philanthropists" whose name is attached to everything important in Canada-and Israel-be it government, business, or cultural affairs.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">This was not always the public profile of the Bronfman family. Less than fifty years ago, they were known to be the biggest bootleggers in North America and were referred to by the less prestigious title "the Bronfman gang."</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p427<br />
With Prohibition, crime became a big-time business. It was no longer based on small-scale prostitution, loan-sharking, or petty protection rackets. Now it was centralized around the marketing of one precious and outlawed commodity whose supply was controlled from London and from the British colony of Canada. Crime was reorganized from top to bottom into an integrated wholesale and retail distribution chain with well-defined marketing districts, quotas, and uniform pricing. Crime became syndicated.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... With Prohibition, Britain-through its Bronfman gang cutout-had created a nationally syndicated crime cancer. Within a decade of the Roaring Twenties, the Bronfman syndicate would be peddling heroin, cocaine, and every other available poisonous drug through the same wholesaling, transporting, and retailing system that bootlegged booze.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Bronfman's counterpart in the United States was one Arnold Rothstein. Just as Bronfman made it into the big-time under the auspices of the Hofjuden elite, so Arnie Rothstein was sponsored by Our Crowd Zionist investment bankers who arrived: in New York as the Montefiores were setting up business in Canada. Arnold Rothstein - the godfather of organized crime - was the son of a wealthy Our Crowd dry goods merchant.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... For the British, Prohibition was a roaring success. What had begun as a three-way contract between Britain (the supplier), Bronfman (the cutout), and Rothstein (the distributor) had become within the space of a decade a nationally organized crime syndicate, a private, secret army under British banking and syndicate, control.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... When Prohibition began in 1920 Arnold Rothstein had personally gone to Great Britain to establish the liquor pipeline with the British distilleries. At the same time he had dispatched his underling Jacob "Yasha" Katzenberg to Shanghai to begin negotiations for a dope pipeline from the Far East into the East Coast of the United States.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Arnold Rothstein ... was a product of the Rothschild dry goods empire that included the Seligman, Wanamaker, and Gimbel families. During Prohibition, according to the Bronfmans' own testimony, Rothstein, Meyer Lansky, and Lucky Luciano were the Bronfmans' main distributors. As Prohibition came to a close, Bronfman associates traveled to Shanghai and Hong Kong to streamline and expand the drug trade into the United States, negotiating with the foremost Chinese drug runners who were not only encouraged but pressured by the British business community to pull together an opium cartel.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... With the repeal of Prohibition, the Bronfmans, like so many of their partners across the border, "went legit." Organized crime sunk its millions in legitimate businesses that both acted as cover for illegal activities and set up the laundry networks for dirty money. The new phase of respectability signaled that the most successful big-time whiskey bootleggers were switching to big-time narcotics.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">In the early days, the Bronfmans had to run all the risks of the smuggler's profession. They had to dodge the law, stay one step ahead of the desperados on the other side of the border, and whenever things went wrong, face the humiliation of public exposure and scandal. As a result, the family acquired a considerable reputation.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Looking expectantly toward the fast increase in drug trade in America, the British could not afford to leave their leading cutout in such an exposed and precarious position. Nor could they simply dispose of the Bronfmans after Prohibition. The family had become irreplaceable due to its in-depth control over the syndicate. Yet, the Bronfmans would be a liability if they continued to work as openly with their distributors in narcotics-trafficking as they did running Prohibition.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The problem was resolved by bringing the Bronfmans into the lower rungs of the Hofjuden caste. Almost overnight the Rothschilds, Montefiores, de Hirsches, et al. took Mr. Sam [Bronfman], the crime czar of North America, and transformed him into a rising star of the Canadian Zionist movement.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... After World War II, Mr. Sam established the National Conference of Israeli and Jewish Rehabilitation, using his considerable smuggling skills to run guns to the Haganah.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Similar posts were awarded to the other Bronfmans. Allan Bronfman was named president of the Zionist Organization of Canada, a member of the board of trustees of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropists and of the national council of the Canadian Jewish Congress. Abe Bronfman was posted to the Joint Distribution Committee and also to the national council of the Canadian Jewish Congress.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Finally, in 1969 the Bronfmans were given the highest reward issued by Her Majesty. Sam was made a Knight of Grace of the Most Venerable Order of St. John of Jerusalem. His brother Allan and his son Charles were appointed to the highest rank, Knight of Justice of the order. These appointments are emphatically not ceremonial, but are only bestowed on those who have carried out the most dangerous and fruitful missions for the British Crown.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p440<br />
The Kennedys are clean because, beginning with Papa Joe, they were flea-dipped, scrubbed, and polished by the British to be the respectable front for organized crime. Whether or not a Kennedy crosses the British Crown in terms of policy-as Jack Kennedy did in l963-does not alter the fundamental content of the political machine that gives the Kennedy dynasty its power. The Kennedy machine is organized crime in government.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... The job of the Kennedy dynasty is to usher in British dope and the criminals who distribute it - through the front door.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p444<br />
As the end of Prohibition approached, [Joseph] Kennedy again turned to London, where Winston Churchill personally approved the grant given to him for the British distillers' franchise for the American market. Through Kennedy's Somerset Importers, Ltd. and Renfield Importers, Kennedy marketed Dewar's scotch, Gordon's gin, Ron Rico rum, and Haig and Haig.'°</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">But as Papa Joe made clear early in the game, he was not in it for the money. His goal was to build a political dynasty, and his wife produced nine children in succession to guarantee it. : Churchill's nod of approval and the cash flow accompanying it signaled that the British were ready to take advantage of Joe Kennedy's political ambitions.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... In 1933, Kennedy was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt to head the new Securities and Exchange Commission. Kennedy's earlier association with the London banking circles had put him on the inside track to conduct a flurry of stock speculation on the eve of the 1929 stock market crash and walk away from it all with a pocket full of cash. When the SEC was created to regulate the market, Roosevelt returned Kennedy's favor of swinging the Boston Democratic machine behind the FDR candidacy at the 1932 nominating convention.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">In 1936, FDR appointed Kennedy U.S. ambassador to Great Britain, a post Kennedy wanted more than life itself. As Joe's official biographer explained, "The old American aristocracy, with its Anglophilic leanings regarded the post as the nation's highest social office.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Kennedy quickly attached himself to the most pro-Nazi British aristocrats centered around Lady Astor's Cliveden Set where Roundtable figures such as Lazard Brothers' Lord Robert Brand, the Marquess of Lothian, Fabian George Bernard Shaw, and the opium-trading Sassoon family congregated to dictate Britain's appeasement policy for the British Foreign Office.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... During his sojourn in Britain, [Joseph Kennedy] turned over his sons to the British Roundtable for a "proper" education. Joseph Kennedy, Jr. and John F. Kennedy were trained at the London School of Economics, an institution founded by the Fabian Society dedicated to training and recruiting foreign cadre as future British agents within government, business, media, and educational posts in their own countries.

When John F. Kennedy became President of the United States in 1960, it is reported that André Meyer of Lazard Brothers, Ltd. went around Europe introducing himself as "the real President." Whether the story is true or not, it is the case that the Court of St. James had at least temporarily seized control of the Oval Office.</span></h4>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">So had organized crime. The Kennedy machine moved into the Justice Department, specifically Robert Kennedy's Organized Crime Strike Force. The Organized Crime Drive, as it was called, was a highly irregular unit, even according to its nominal chief, Ed Silberling. The section was in fact run by nonlawyer Walter Sheridan, a former FBI man who had worked as chief of the Counterintelligence Section, Special Operations Division, Office of Security, and the National Security Agency.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p450<br />
Almost simultaneously with Kennedy's inauguration, Harold Macmillan moved into 10 Downing Street. Macmillan was himself part of the extended Devonshire family into which Kennedy's sister Kathleen had married. His Canada.-based pulp and paper company, Macmillan Bloedel, as noted, was a component of the British Columbia drug-smuggling apparatus.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... During early 1963. Policy differences between the Kennedy and the Macmillan governments began to surface, as the U.S. President took a series of initiatives to launch the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and to buck the Bertrand Russell-McGeorge Bundy military policy of Mutual and Assured Destruction.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The diaries of Macmillan testify that Kennedy had to be intensely armtwisted at the famous Nassau summit in spring 1963 before he would agree to turn over the Polaris missile program to the British. That move precipitated French President Charles de Gaulle's vehement denunciation of the AngloAmerican violation of the Atlantic Charter, followed by France's withdrawal from the NATO military command.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">During the spring and summer months of 1963, JFK began reversing previous policies. Plans were being prepared to devolve U.S. presence in Southeast Asia. Detente discussions were opened up with the Soviet Union; in the weeks prior to his assassination, Kennedy even sent a secret emissary to Havana o to open up talks with Fidel Castro. The Kennedys were showing signs of bucking the machine that had put them in power. The British had him killed ...</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... When Robert Kennedy refused to back off from the track of his brother's assassins and began to prepare his own campaign for the presidency, he too was murdered on British orders.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Playing by the rules of the game is Ted Kennedy's insurance policy. That's what makes him the foremost proponent of dope decriminalization; that's what makes him today's frontrunner for organized crime; that's what makes him the collaborator of the assassins of his brothers.</span></h4>

According to an unpublished manuscript on the assassination of John F. Kennedy authored by "William Torbitt" (an apparent pseudonym), during the spring, summer, and autumn months of 1963, a series of top-secret conspiratorial meetings took place behind well-guarded closed doors at an exclusive resort spot at Montego Bay on the Caribbean island of Jamaica. The location for those meetings was the Tryall Compound, built at the close of World War II by Britain's highest-ranking secret espionage agent, Sir William Stephenson. Reportedly present at various times for the planning sessions were: Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfield, in 1963 still a top officer in Sir William Stephenson's British Special Operations Executive (SOE); Ferenc Nagy, a wartime cabinet minister in the pro-Hitler Horthy government of Hungary and later its Prime Minister; Georgio Mantello, a Rumanian-born Jew who had served as a trade minister under Mussolini; Colonel Clay Shaw, a former officer in the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS) who in 1963 was the director of the New Orleans International Trade Mart; Jean de Menil, a White Russian emigré who at that moment was the president of the Houston-based Schlumberger Company, a heavy equipment manufacturer frequently used as a covert conduit for weapons; Paul Raigorodsky, another White Russian active in the right-wing Solidarist movement. The purpose of the meetings, the manuscript alleged, was to plot the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Whether or not the meetings took place as described in the manuscript, the authors of Dope, Inc. have been unable to confirm. But through interviews in the United States and Western Europe and through reviews of the evidence presented before the Warren Commission and before the grand jury proceedings and trial of Clay Shaw in New Orleans, the authors have established links between the named individuals and the Permindex trading company at the center of the Kennedy assassination plot.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Permindex was an obscure international trading exposition company, incorporated in Switzerland and housed in Montreal; Permindex is a contraction of "Permanent Industrial Expositions." Its president and chairman of the board from its inception in 1958 was Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfield. The individuals named as plotting at the Tryall Compound were, at the time, board members, officers, and investors in Permindex.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Each of these individuals was also a longstanding trusted asset of the British SOE. Unlike any other trade expositions company in the world, the employees and investors in Permindex had all been selected for specific operational capabilities that they represented; capabilities that would be indispensable to the conducting of high-level political assassinations.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">As we delve into the Permindex international assassination bureau and discover the suppressed facts behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, we shall encounter three capabilities in particular already familiar to us as Dope, Inc.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">First we shall encounter an international web of dirty money outfits, responsible for channeling millions of dollars in black market revenues into the hands of the professional killers deployed on behalf of Permindex and its SOE control. Not surprisingly, we shall discover that these dirty money channels are hard-wired into the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank-centered apparatus that launders the $400 billion in annual revenues from illegal drug sales.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Second, we shall discover an international band of protected killers, drawn from the ranks of the Nazi and Fascist gestapos of World War II - many now in the employ of the Soviet KGB - from the street-level crime syndicate responsible for the retail distribution of narcotics; and from a secret capability established by the Stephenson organization at the outset of World War II, operating under the cover of missionary activity in Latin America and the East bloc. Their missions? Political assassinations employing high-powered rifles at a distance of 1,000 yards.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Third, we shall encounter a British SOE fifth column embedded deeply into the American official intelligence community. This fifth column, linked directly to Permindex and its chairman Major Bloomfield, represents perhaps the single most crucial component of the international assassination bureau: its cover-up capability. Seventeen years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Permindex remains one of the best kept secrets in the world-despite the fact that it has been exposed on more than one occasion as the agency behind high-level political exterminations touching on top political officials of no fewer than three sovereign nations.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p460<br />
In 1967, the French Intelligence Bureau SDECE released the results of a five-year investigation into the 1962 aborted assassination attempt against General de Gaulle, carried out by the rabidly right-wing Secret Army Organization (OAS). While the SDECE report traced the origins of the assassination plot to the Brussels headquarters of NATO and to a specific group of disgruntled French and British generals, as well as the remnant of the old Nazi intelligence apparatus, it also singled out Major Bloomfield's Permindex trading company as the agency responsible for conduiting $200,000 into the OAS to bankroll the attempt. The source of the funds was FBI Division Five, the secret counterespionage branch of Hoover's agency that was run out of the Montreal law offices of Major Bloomfield.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">As the result of the de Gaulle exposé of Permindex's role in the OAS hit squads, Permindex was forced to shut down its public operations in Western Europe and relocate its headquarters to Johannesburg, South Africa.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">As a related feature of the de Gaulle crackdown, Israel's overseas intelligence branch, the Mossad, was temporarily kicked out of France.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p462<br />
BCI was the creation of Dr. Tibor Rosenbaum, a Hungarian-born Jew who migrated to Palestine under the sponsorship of the Jewish Agency.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Following Israel's statehood, Tibor Rosenbaum was appointed the first minister of supply and finance for the foreign intelligence branch, the Mossad. In 1951, Rosenbaum was deployed to Geneva, ostensibly as the director of Israeli migration, holding full diplomatic papers. As there was no migration from Switzerland to Israel during this period, speculation that Rosenbaum was already involved in setting up funds-laundering operations on behalf of the Mossad is well-founded. According to a recently published book-length exposé of the Israeli mafia, by L'Express journalist Jacques Derogy,'° Rosenbaum traded his Israeli diplomatic papers for Liberian documents in the mid-1950s on the eve of his launching the Banque du Credit Internationale. Rosenbaum incorporated the BC! in 1958, the same year that his fellow "Liberian diplomat" Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfield established Permindex.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">According to Derogy, Dr. Rosenbaum was designated as the "Swiss connection" in an international money-laundering apparatus created to facilitate the diamonds-for-dope trade that was to make up an increasingly large share of the foreign trade of Israel.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p463<br />
[Ernst Israel] Japhet's presence on the board of directors of the Banque du Credit International brings us full circle back to the London boardrooms of the Big Five commercial banks that command the international narcotics cartel top down.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Who is Ernest Israel Japhet, in addition to being a board member of the BCI, an entity servicing the black-market money needs of the Mossad, the Israeli mafia and the "wizard" of North American syndicate financing, Meyer Lansky? Japhet was, at the time, the chairman and president of the Bank Leumi, the largest bank in Israel-a bank that we have already identified as a critical component of the diamonds-for-dope traffic into Hong Kong. The current heir of a German banking family that traces its roots back centuries, Japhet sold the family's trading company to the Quaker Barclays Bank of London, which in turn placed him on the board of directors of its thus-created subsidiary Charterhouse-Japhet. Charterhouse-Japhet, like the Japhet Company before it, deals exclusively in the diamond trade between Israel and Hong Kong-trading those precious stones for the same Golden Triangle opium that launched the Japhet's family's career in international finance 150 years ago.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p464<br />
Bank Leumi keeps its hands in the drug trade through its 100 percent-owned subsidiary Union Bank. Ernest Israel Japhet is the chairman of Union Bank, which handles over one-third of the world's financing in diamonds.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Bank Leumi was not the only Israeli bank to interface its operations with the Geneva laundering-hole of Dr. Rosenbaum. Even more heavily involved in the BCI is the Bank Hapoalim. The second largest bank in Israel, Bank Hapoalim was founded as an offshoot of the Jewish Agency. Its founder and present board director, British High Commissioner Viscount Erwin Herbert Samuel, belongs to the same Samuel family behind Bank Leumi and the Cunard Lines. Viscount Samuel presides as head of the Israel Red Cross, an official branch of the Most Venerable Military and Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem-the same order held by Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfleld of Permindex.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">According to the ... Derogy exposé of the Israeli mafia, Bank Hapoalim figured prominently in the same diamonds-for-dope apparatus. Illegal revenues from the diamonds-for-dope exchange run between Israel and the Golden Triangle banks of Thailand, would be initially deposited in an escrow account in London, for transfer to protected accounts in Johannesburg, South Africa. From South Africa, the same funds would be laundered through the Bank Hapoalim into Dr. Rosenbaum's BCI.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Investors Overseas Service (lOS), until its demise in 1975, was indistinguishable from the Banque du Credit Internationale. Nominally an international mutual fund founded by Bernie Cornfeld, and eventually taken over by Robert Vesco, LOS in reality was a laundering service deploying an army of "salesmen" in every corner of the globe, often carrying phenomenal volumes of cash which the lOS directors claimed were the investment deposits of thousands of small investors. These investors for the most part remained anonymous. According to author Hank Messick, a significant number of the so-called small investors were local operatives of the Meyer Lansky-Israeli mafia apparatus."</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The convergence of the drug syndicate and the intelligence services of Great Britain and Israel in the person of Dr. Tibor Rosenbaum ...</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Among its principal holdings, the Swiss-Israel Trade Bank owns one-third interest in the Paz conglomerate. Owned until the early 1950s by the Rothschild family, the Paz group of corporations maintains a virtual monopoly over the Israeli oil and petrochemical industry, including the vital shipping lines transporting oil and petrochemicals in and out of the Middle East.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Sharing the Paz ownership with Dr. Rosenbaum's Swiss-Israel entity are Max Fisher, a Detroit, Michigan-based "businessman-philanthropist" ...</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... The Swiss-Israel Trade Bank, the third owner of Paz, is a who's who of the combined British-Israeli Mossad apparatus, beginning with Dr. Tibor Rosenbaum. The manager of the Swiss-Israel Trade Bank ... was General Julius Klein.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Sir William Stephenson's access to the intelligence facilities, of the Zionist movement in the United States and Canada was greatly facilitated by the fact that from 1922, he had employed Chaim Weizmann as his principal adviser on scientific and technical espionage activities. The fact that Stephenson's own mentor, Sir William Wiseman, was a leading figure in the Anglo-Zionist movement also provided the future SOE head with an inside track to the resources and talents of the Zionist networks.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... In the effort to create an Israeli intelligence apparatus married to the British SOE, Julius Klein would play a major role on behalf of Sir William Stephenson. From his position at the close of World War II as head of the U.S. Army Counterintelligence Corps responsible for Western Europe, Klein-by his own admission-illegally rerouted whole shiploads of medical supplies, trucks, construction equipment, etc. from earmarked destinations in Germany and Austria to the Haganah in Palestine. Throughout the early 1950s, Klein made frequent trip to Israel to aid in the training and structuring of the Moss Mossad.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p468<br />
According to the findings of the SDECE, $200,000 in black market revenues were channeled into the Banque du Credit Internationale accounts maintained by Permindex. Among the sources of those funds was the Bank Hapoalim, the Israeli banking institution owned by the Histadrut, for which Major Bloomfield was the chief Canadian fundraiser.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Those funds were passed onto the New Orleans station chief of the FBI's Division Five, Guy Bannister. From New Orleans, Bannister deployed one of his agents, Jerry Brooks Gatlin, directly to Paris with a suitcase full of cash for hand delivery to the OAS generals. '8 In 1966, at the very outset of the Garrison investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy, Gatun-who operated a Permindex-Division Five front called the Anti-Communist League of the Caribbean-died when he was thrown out of a sixth-floor window in a San Juan, Puerto Rico hotel. By this time, FBI Division Five spook Bannister had already died under equally mysterious circumstances.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... There was no coincidence to the fact that the Permindex funds for the 1962 aborted assassination attempt against Charles de Gaulle were laundered through a New Orleans-stationed agent of Division Five. By 1962, New Orleans had already assumed the role of field operations center for the assassination cabal headquartered offshore on the island retreat at Tryall.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The reason that New Orleans assumed a special role in the cabal is that it headquartered the major U.S. subsidiary of Permindex, the International Trade Mart, directed by Colonel Clay Shaw.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Within the overall organizational chart of Permindex, Colonel Shaw maintained two principal roles. Through his International Trade Mart, Shaw retained a secondary capability for washing large volumes of money on an international scale. But first and foremost, Shaw was responsible for "handling" the nest of agents deployed trough Permindex's various fronts to carry out the assassination of John F. Kennedy.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p472<br />
Today, there are over fifty "world trade marts" located in thirty countries around the world. Each of these world trade marts is made up of over 1,000 corporate subscribers.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Since 1968, all of the world trade marts have been hooked together through a massive computerized data bank. That data bank now functions through an intelligence-transmitting satellite system, one of the largest privately owned satellite systems in existence. The satellite-computer control point is maintained by the World Trade Center Association-the offspring of the very New Orleans World Trade Center that Clay Shaw assumed the directorship of at the close of World War H on behalf of the Stephenson SOE apparatus.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The computer-satellite system maintains a tracking of all international trade routes, carriers and rate scales; a virtual inventory and tracking map of every air-land-sea shipping medium and bulk cargo in the world.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Among the fifty-plus world trade marts hooked into the WTCA satellite-computer complex is the Hong Kong World Trade Center-a joint venture of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and Jardine Matheson. HKWTC is the single largest and highest-priced chunk of real estate in Hong Kong. Dope, Inc., through this Hong Kong center, thus maintains a transnational tracking system that is more sophisticated and technologically advanced than the capabilities at the disposal of any government attempting to combat its deadly traffic.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... In 1958, however, Permindex had not yet emerged as an international octopus of trading fronts hooked up through satellite-based computers, possessing the resources for global money-laundering at the push of a button on a computer console. Yet, as court records in New Orleans, Montreal, and Paris document, millions of dollars in "hit money" passed through 14 the Permindex organization to bankroll the most deadly assassination plots of the century.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">We have already met the black market bankers, many of them linked to the financial, political, and intelligence establishment of the state of Israel, whose special role in the Permindex cabal involved the laundering of the "hit money" into the hands of FBI Division Five couriers for delivery to the designated assassin teams.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... the second major component of the Permindex assassination bureau [is] the network of protected killers whose actions have irreversibly shaped the course of history for the last two decades.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... In February of 1969 proceedings began in the New Orleans Parish Court in the case of The State of Louisiana v. Clay M. Shaw. New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, flouting the findings of the Warren Commission, had gone before a grand jury and successfully petitioned for a murder conspiracy indictment against Permindex board member Clay Shaw.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">It would take the mysterious deaths of seventeen key prosecution witnesses and the launching of a nationwide media witchhunt against the New Orleans DA to defeat Garrison's effort to get to the bottom of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... According to evidence presented in the course of the Garrison inquiry into the Kennedy assassination, Clay Shaw, Georgio Mantello, and Ferenc Nagy, all of the board of directors of Permindex and its subsidiary Centro Mondiale Commerciale, were in place in New Orleans, Dallas, and Los Angeles on November 22, 1963, handling aspects of the assassination and coverup. That deployment had been set by Major Bloomfield...</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Who were the assassins deployed to carry out the "triangulated firing" on President Kennedy in Dallas on November 22? ... the assassins - seven expert riflemen in all - were part of a special team of the most expert killers in the world that had been put together in 1943 at the combined initiative of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and SOE Commander Sir William Stephenson. Members of that team would be implicated in the assassinations of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Three of the principals in the Permindex assassination of John F. Kennedy were Eastern European and White Russian emigres. Each of these individuals, Jean DeMeml, Ferenc Nagy, and Paul Raigorodsky, was a leading figure in the Solidarist movement of fascists.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... The Solidarists were Eastern European and White Russian feudalists and fascists, predominantly former officials of the wartime "Quisling" governments of Eastern Europe and veterans of the Nazi eastern front intelligence apparatus.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">By no later than 1943, as a part of the Yalta process accepted by FDR, both the Soviet and Anglo-American intelligence services had begun recruiting from the ranks of the most rabid Nazis for postwar intelligence work. (Anglo-Soviet cooperation in such projects actually reflected a longstanding deal struck between Churchill and members of the Soviet Cheka of Felix Dzherzhinsky during Lenin's lifetime.) Among those recruited were the Eastern European Solidarists who became an all-purpose asset of combined British and Soviet networks in the postwar period. Among the services rendered by these Eastern Nazis was the penetration of right-wing circles in the West.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Among the leading components of the Solidarist movement was a highly professional espionage, sabotage and assassination network called Narodnyi Trudovoy Soyuz ("National Alliance of Solidarists"). Founded in the late 1920s out of the old Menshevik circles in Russia, NTS functioned as one of British secret intelligence's premier spy rings inside the Soviet Union. NTS was bankrolled by Royal Dutch Shell chairman Sir Henry Deterding and by Vickers Arms president Sir Basil Zaharoff.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p480<br />
In 1941, J. Edgar Hoover, in consultation with British SOE head Sir William Stephenson and Division Five recruiter Louis M. Bloomfield, arranged for his close friend Reverend Carl McIntyre to found the American Council of Christian Churches. McIntyre was already a contract agent of Hoover's FBI Division Five. The ACCC was to conceal an extensive espionage and intelligence unit to be deployed throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Latin America. The spies and saboteurs were to operate under the cover of Christian missionaries.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">As part of the ACCC espionage net, Hoover, Stephenson, and Bloomfield created a secret assassination unit in 1943 under the direction of ACCC Minister Albert Osborne. It is not clear that McIntyre was ever let in on this sinister aspect of the ACCC by his "friend" Hoover. The unit consisted of twenty-five to thirty of the world's most skilled riflemen. It was housed in a missionary school for orphans in Puebla, Mexico. Up through at least 1969, the special "kill unit" remained intact under the personal supervision of J. Edgar Hoover, operating through his trusted agent of thirty years, Albert Osborne.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">According to author "Torbitt," it was Osborne and a team of seven expert riflemen from the Puebla "kill unit" who carried out the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... According to testimony before both the Warren Commission and the Garrison grand jury, given by FBI operative Jack Martin, Lee Harvey Oswald was recruited into the FBI Division Five in 1956 by none other than David Ferrie. While nominally in the Marine Corps, Oswald received special training in covert espionage activities at the Naval Intelligence School on the Memphis Naval Base. One aspect of this training included special instruction in the Russian language, provided by an agent of the Solidarist movement operating in San Francisco under the cover of the Federation of Russian Charitable Organizations, a West Coast branch of the Tolstoy Foundation.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">From 1956 until his untimely death in the basement of the Dallas Police headquarters in November 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald had been on a secret Division Five payroll, maintained through a secret account concealed in the budget of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, a unit within the Department of Justice.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">During the six-month period leading up to his murder in Dallas, the real Lee Harvey Oswald had been operating out of New Orleans and Dallas under the immediate supervision of Division Five regional director Guy Bannister. In fact, the New Orleans headquarters of the pro-Castro Fair Play for Cuba Committee, a group that Oswald actively participated in during 1963, was located in the same Camp Street office building that housed Bannister. Unknown to Oswald, his "infiltration" into the pro-Castro grouping on behalf of Division Five had a far different purpose than he imagined; a purpose that would become clear only after he assumed the role of the "patsy" ...</span></h4>

Sir William Stephenson and a coterie of SOE spooks moved in on Montego Bay at the very close of World War II and built that spot up into a cross between paradise and Fort Knox. In the case of Acapulco, the guiding figure behind its postwar emergence as a watering hole for the super-rich and the super-secretive was former Mexican President Miguel Alemán, himself a central figure in the international narcotics and assassination cartel.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">It was during Alemán's tenure as interior minister (1940-46) and President of Mexico (1946-52) that J. Edgar Hoover's Division Five was given carte blanche to set up shop in that country. Combined SOE-Division Five operations were set up all over Mexico and very few were shut down at the end of the war. Reverend Osborne's Christian boys school has already been identified as one such case in which a "hundred-year lease" was signed between Alemán and SOE-Division Five.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">When President Aleman formally retired from politics in the 1950s, he built up a vast real estate empire in Mexico that today includes a string of resort hotels, among them one of the largest resort spots in Acapulco.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Not coincidentally, all of Alemán's hotel acquisitions are managed by the Canadian Pacific Corporation-the biggest covert importer of Golden Triangle narcotics into North America and a heavy investor in the Caribbean islands that house some of the most important black market money houses in the Dope, Inc. international portfolio.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Among Alemán's other major holdings is a lion's share of the stock in the fifth largest company in Mexico, Tavos de Acero de Mexico (TAMSA). The director of TAMSA, Bruno Pagliai, is the cousin of Princess Beatrice of Savoy, herself a resident of Mexico and a frequent guest at Alemán's own Acapulco jet set parties.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">It is through two Alemán confidants that the Mexican end of Dope, Inc. begins to emerge more clearly. Alemán's personal banker and one of his most intimate friends is Max Schein, president of the Banco Mercantil de Mexico. Schein's bank is the correspondent bank to Bank Leumi, the Israeli banking giant that we have already encountered as a major laundering vehicle for the revenues of international dope traffic. Schein is the chairman of the Sociedad Technion de Mexico, the local branch of the Israel Technion Society-the Mossad's overseas scientific espionage front. Among the board members of the Technion International is Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfield of Permindex.</span></h4>

Extortion, blackmail, kidnapping, bribery; these were not the only weapons unleashed in the war against [New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison. By the time of the 1967 Garrison probe, over a dozen key witnesses had died under mysterious circumstances.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... More than two decades have passed since the assassination of John Kennedy in Dallas and at this very moment Permindex and the British command that ordered the cold coup by assassination remains one of the best-kept secrets in the world.</span></h4>

Forget about the pictures of Resorts International in loss( travel brochures or the advertisements in the Travel Section of the Sunday New York Times. Scarcely concealed among the palm trees, the swimming pools, and the all-night casinos and nightclubs is Major Bloomfield's Royal Commission of High Executioners - and billed dollars in dope. Barely hidden behind the Resorts International letterhead is the eminence grise of organized crime, Meyer Lansky.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Beginning no later than 1960, Lansky hatched a grand scheme to create a "Hong Kong West"' in the Caribbean: an offshore center that would bring together gambling, narcotics, dirty money, and Murder Inc. under one unregulated and highly respectable roof.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Resorts International was financed largely with a transfer of funds from the Banque de Credit Internationale of Tibor Rosenbaum and Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfield, and the Investors Overseas Service of Bernie Cornfeld and the Rothschild family. An estimated $14 million in transferred monies traveling through Meyer Lansky's World Trade Bank and the Fiduciary Trust Company of Nassau, a wholly owned subsidiary of lOS, found their way into Resorts during its half-dozen formative years.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... From its investors' side then(sorts International is indistinguishable from the previously Geneva and Basel-headquartered Permindex-BCI-IOS--a nexus that we have shown to be founded on the revenues of Dope, Inc. Resorts International equals big-time drug-trafficking: cocaine and marijuana from the Caribbean and South America, LSD and hashish produced in factories in the Bahamas, Costa Rica, etc., with venture capital provided through 105. Resorts International's stationing on Paradise Island created the "Silver Triangle"-a dope route up through the Caribbean that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration estimates to be the source of over $7 billion a year alone in narcotics passed through the southernmost tip of Florida.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p498<br />
As the guts of BCI moved to Paradise Island, so the Permindex ring moved to Intertel [Intelligence International]. No longer was the Special Operations Executive to house its secret assassination teams in trading companies, Christian missionary schools, and commercial executive airline services. Murder, Inc. was to become part of the respectable, Kennedy "liberal establishment," flaunting itself as a private intelligence army for hire.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... What is International Intelligence? A Who's Who listing of its board and senior staff reads like a printout of British intelligence, the Mafia and Mossad.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Resorts International [is] financed through the Geneva-Base retail revenues of Dope, Inc. The manager of Paradise Island for its first half decade of operation (1968-73) was Eddie Cellini, the brother of Dino Cellini and another well-known lieutenant of Meyer Lansky... In 1972, Robert Vesco came a hair's breadth away from buying majority holdings in Resorts International for $60 million-a transaction that was heartily endorsed by the "supersleuths" at Intertel.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Vesco went on from lOS to become the financial kingpin of the post-1979 Latin American cocaine bonanza. It is no exaggeration to state that, on Meyer Lansky's death, Vesco emerged as the inheritor of the old wizard's Caribbean dope money empire. Vesco completed Lansky's "dream" in 1982, when, at the point that U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration began closing in on his Costa Rica safe haven, he moved to Havana as the personal guest and financial adviser of Fidel Castro, who had long since placed the resources of the DGI at the disposal of Dope, Inc.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">If Resorts International is a glossy front for Meyer Lansky's retail end of the biggest business in the world, then what does that say for its wholly owned subsidiary Intertel? Is it conceivable that this collection of senior officials from the most prestigious and sophisticated intelligence services of the United States, Canada, and Britain could be oblivious to the fact that they are "riding shotgun" for one of the biggest channels of narcotics and hot money in the Western Hemisphere?</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Intertel stands exposed as the successor to Major Bloomfield's Permindex, drawing on the same SOE-Division Five capabilities, the same "direct line" interface into the official intelligence branches of half the countries in the world, the same allegiance to the British oligarchy behind the $200 billion a year Dope, Inc. While the motives may vary case by case, it is sufficient to say that anyone on the inside of Intertel attempting to break from its service and spill the beans would have about the same chance for survival as a Royal Hong Kong police officer who decides to turn down his weekly bribery envelope.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">With the consolidation of Resorts International, we once again swing full circle. From a Prohibition-era jumping-off point of syndicated organized crime in the United States-fostered by the same British families that had ordered the Shanghai Massacre to safeguard the rule of Dope, Inc. in China-we now find ourselves 50 years later confronted by a criminal infrastructure lobbying for the decriminalization of crime itself. The Kennedy Justice Department, Scotland Yard, and RCMP boys at Intertel sell their services as "experts in cleaning out undesirable criminal elements from your corporation."" Through this ruse they captured the Howard Hughes fortunes and are at present taking over "security services" for all the big Las Vegas casinos." They moved into New Jersey and imposed gambling, horse racing, and numbers as the three "growth industries"; they are now posing New Jersey as the model to be followed by Florida, Arizona, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New York.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">After World War II, one of the economic warfare specialists in Sir William Stephenson's SOE, a fellow named Ian Fleming, wrote a series of coded novels describing the efforts at world conquest of a "third force"-an ultramodern international crime syndicate housed in the resort islands of the Caribbean. The weapons of "third force" conquest were drugs, political assassinations, grand-scale blackmail, and economic war against the nations of the world. With Resorts International-Intertel, Fleming's "third force"-the British oligarchy's Dope, Inc.-put itself up for trade on the stock markets of the world.</span></h4>

Max Fisher was a "runner" for the Purple Gang during the early 1930s. His job was to carry cash receipts across the Canadian border to the Bronfman gang in advance payment for the next shipment of booze and drugs for the speakeasies of Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo. During this period, Fisher's activities brought him into contact with the Murder, Inc. syndicate headed by Meyer Lansky.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Meanwhile, on the East Coast, Julius Klein, as an underling of William Wiseman, the official head of British intelligence in the United States, was deployed to pull together a "dirty tricks unit" that would be ready for action on behalf of British interests in the Middle East as part of the "Great Game." Klein recruited the unit from the ranks of the Jewish War Veterans.'</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">British intelligence's Palestine operation dates officially back to the 1917 Balfour Declaration-the British oligarchy's statement of its determination to establish a "Jewish homeland" that would serve as an asset for British interests in the Middle East, especially against France. The project was run through the British Secret Intelligence Service, with the London Hofjuden families-particularly the Rothschilds-and the "Our Crowd" investment bank circles of lower Manhattan the immediate sponsors, as cutouts for the higher-ups of the British-centered black nobility(we have already met.)</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Run out of the Manhattan offices of Kuhn, Loeb, Wiseman's "plumbers unit" continued work that had begun with Baron Edmond de Rothschild's founding of the Palestine Economics Commission in the 1920s. Under Rothschild funding, the commission established an intricate network of weapons-smuggling cells, money-laundering channels, and contraband shipping lines-utilizing criminal enterprises and respectable businesses interchangeably.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p509<br />
In the spring of 1975, Max Fisher was voted in as chairman of the board of United Brands. This placed him at the helm of a corporation whose records reveal the very beginnings of organized crime in the United States.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... United Fruit [was] rechartered recently as United Brands Company ...</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Under the directorship of Max Fisher, United Brands' drug(trafficking appears to have flourished. According to 1978 estimates of the Drug Enforcement Administration, over 20% of the cocaine and marijuana smuggled into the United States enters aboard the ships and planes of United Brands.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Fisher's personal hand in this dope route (DEA official reports show that over $7 billion a year in heroin, cocaine, and marijuana is smuggled into the Florida Keys alone through this "Silver Triangle" channel) is further suggested by reports from several Midwest sources that his principal "contact man" into the Caribbean is Robert Vesco. Fisher's privately owned Marathon Oil Company, barging crude oil into the Midwest from ports of call in South America, is also suspected of joining United Brands in running the "Silver Triangle" drug traffic.</span></h4>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p513<br />
It is common knowledge in the United States and throughout the world that the power ruling the "banana republics" of Central America is and has been the United Fruit Company - United Brands. It is no exaggeration to say that every coup that has taken place in the region was backed by the fruit company, which ran the nations of Central America mercilessly as slave-labor plantations. In 1932, a coup in El Salvador-with United Fruit sponsorship-exterminated 300,000 peasants who had risen up in revolt against the conditions in which they were forced to live. 22 For forty years, the United Fruit Company stood behind the regime of Anastasio Somoza in Nicaragua. It is through the offices of United Fruit that Haganah gun-runner Yehuda Arazi came to be listed as an ambassador of the Nicaraguan government.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Once the state of Israel was established, the flow of weapons through Nicaragua into Palestine was reversed: A sizable part of the Israeli armaments industry (an estimated 60%) was pumped back into the Central American "banana dictatorships." Israeli weapons and military hardware sustained the Somoza regime when it came under attack and permitted Somoza to carry out his scorched earth policy against his own population. When Somoza's regime finally collapsed, it was a former United Brands employ , Francisco Urcuyo, who briefly stepped into the presidency. Israeli weapons to Somoza were funneled under the cover of the Israeli Maritime Fruit Company, through the services of Max Fisher's associate ... And when the United Brands mafia determined to dump the traditional dictators of the previous half-century, the same flow of Israeli and East Bloc originating arms began to flow into the Sandinistas and Moscow-backed narcoterrorist groups in Guatemala and El Salvador...</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The cocaine and marijuana consumed in the United States is the blood product of hundreds of thousands in Central America who live under the rule of United Brands. Yet today, United Brands Chairman Max Fisher is acknowledged "kingmaker" of the Michigan Republican Party, and has served as president of the United Jewish Appeal, president of the Jewish Welfare Fund, honorary chairman of the American Jewish Committee; and was until 1978 the national fundraising chairman for the Republican Party. In 1979 the Jerusalem Post named him "Jew of the Year."</span></h4>

Emprise was one of the largest non-public, family-owned corporations in the world, a conglomerate with control or partial control over 450 separate companies. Its stated annual income as of the late 1970s was $350 million, from holdings in North American and British sports complexes, race tracks, and food consortia. It is probably the biggest quasi-legitimate cover for organized crime's money-laundering in the United States.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">The Jacobs family's only concession to the numerous attempts by law enforcement agencies to shut them down was to change Emprise's name to Sportsystems in 1972.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p518<br />
Despite a record of criminal activity stretching back to World War I - and never interrupted - the Jacobs family remains one of the open, "legitimate" fronts for Dope. Inc. Not only is the Jacobs family protected, but it retains a group of veterans of the Kennedy administration's Organized Crime Strike Force as its legal department.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... The original Jacobs brothers, Louis, Marvin, and Charles, used the old smugglers' cover of "food concessions" for a chain of vaudeville theaters on the Canadian border crossing points at Buffalo and Cleveland.' The modus operandi is pretty much the one Mitchell Bronfman used during the early 1970s for smuggling heroin into the United States. Once established, the Jacobs machine became a leading distributor for Bronfman liquor as the United States went dry.</span></h4>

The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith proclaims itself( to be a non-profit corporation "designed to eliminate defamation of Jews and other religious and ethnic groups; to advance proper Understanding among all peoples; and to preserve and translate into greater effectiveness the principles of freedom, equality and democracy" (from the Bylaws of the ADL of B'nai B'rith, as amended by the National Commission, June 1982).</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">...

<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p609<br />
It was no public relations gaffe when, in 1985, the ADL gave its Torch of Liberty award to gangster Morris Dalitz, a founder :of the notorious Purple Gang and longtime crime partner of the late mobster Meyer Lansky. The present leadership of the ADL is dominated by figures with longstanding ties to organized crime, particularly to the international drug money-laundering apparatus.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p512<br />
No discussion of the ADL's ties to organized crime and the drug apparatus would be complete without reference to Edgar Bronfman, ADL honorary vice chairman and chief of its New York Appeal.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Today touted as a leading international businessman, philanthropist, and the chairman of the prestigious World Jewish Congress, Bronfman has been unable to erase the taint left by the fact that his entire family fortune-Seagram's Corp., its majority share in E.I. du Pont de Nemours Co., etc.-derived from his father's Prohibition-era bootlegging activities. Known at the time as the "Bronfman Gang," the Canadian Bronfmans were the main illegal suppliers to America's crime syndicate known as "Murder, Inc." By no later than 1920, when Edgar's father Sam Bronfman and Arnold Rothstein agent Jacob Katzenberg were dispatched to Hong Kong to arrange opium supplies, the bootlegging routes were also utilized for the smuggling and retail distribution of illegal drugs.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p628<br />
Top officials of the ADL are suspected accessories in a number 1 of major international political assassinations, including the murders of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme and Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. While no evidence is known to exist linking the ADL to the actual executions, very strong evidence does exist in all three cases implicating top ADL officials in the preparation or the coverup of those crimes.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... If the assassination of Indira Gandhi was intended as a blow to improving U.S.-Indian relations to the benefit of the ADL's London sponsors and Soviet and Israeli friends, the assassination on Feb. 28, 1986 of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme appears to have been similarly motivated by a common objective of certain circles in Moscow, London, and Washington: to cover up the biggest international weapons and drug trafficking scandal in history-a scandal that only began to surface with the Iran-Contra revelations in the United States and Western Europe and the more recent "Stasi-gate" in East Germany.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">When Prime Minister Olof Palme ordered Swedish police to raid the offices of Karl Erik Schmits, a prominent international arms dealer, just months before his assassination, significant evidence began to turn up concerning American, British, Israeli, as well as Soviet bloc arms trafficking to Iran, Iraq, and the Nicaraguan Contras all in apparent collusion. Palme reportedly became deeply concerned when the full extent of Swedish socialist democratic involvement in the arms trafficking and profiteering was documented in records seized in the Schmits raids, and began to crack down on the flow of arms from Sweden to the Persian Gulf. At that point, the prime minister became an expendable adversary of the very intelligence services for whom he had worked throughout his political career.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p652<br />
The cover-up of the role of the People's Republic of China [PRC] in producing and trafficking drugs to the West is one of the biggest lies perpetrated by a U.S. government, in this case by successive American presidential administrations, over the last two decades. The success of this coverup far exceeds even that of the Warren Commission report on the assassination of John Kennedy.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Not only did the P.R.C. never stop growing and trafficking in opium-and there is no evidence to suggest that Beijing did stop - but in the 1980s, the resurgence of the Golden Triangle drug flow to the West, surpassing the heyday of the Vietnam War, shows that Beijing is on a new drug offensive.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">Corroborated reports indicate that today the P.R.C. is the world's largest opium producer. According to Hong Kong reports, the P.R.C. is producing 800 metric tons of opium per year. This is the same as the record-high 800 tons produced annually in the entire region during the height of the Vietnam War, when Chinese drug-trafficking was an open matter of Chinese war strategy. Before 1972, it was well known that the P.R.C. produced 65% of the world's opium. The Hong Kong-based Liberation Monthly reported in December 1989 that the P.R.C. provides 80% of the high-quality heroin selling on the international market.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... Contrary to the P.R.C.'s own propaganda, drug-trafficking is not the business of independent criminals, but a prime earner of foreign exchange and directed by a state monopoly controlled by some of the top dogs of the communist hierarchy.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p654<br />
The China dope is smuggled out into the world labeled either as "Burmese," "Pakistani," or "Afghan." As the Dec. 19, 1985, French journal Vendredi, Samedi, Dimanche noted in an article, the P.R.C. drug trade "does not work in a clandestine way. One of the centers of this Chinese connection is the extreme-western part of China near Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Soviet Union. The reporter arrived in a city called Kashi where the ethnic minority called the Uygurs are controlling the drug traffic toward Pakistan." The city is reportedly filled with Pakistanis.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... P.R.C. interest in drug-trafficking did not end with the end of the Vietnam War, the end of the Cultural Revolution, or the death of madman Mao Zedong, but continues to be the policy of China's "reformist" leadership under Kissinger crony Deng Xiaoping.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p655<br />
The lid was clamped down on the Chinese communists' role in global drug-trafficking by Henry Kissinger. Although it was widely known and of course admitted by Beijing's leaders that the P.R.C. had produced and trafficked dope to American G.I.s in Vietnam, by the end of the Nixon administration, Kissinger had squelched all mention of the P.R.C. as a drug source, in the interests of his new "China card" policy for a Washington-Beijing rapprochement.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">... the United States entered into its geopolitical alliance with the P.R.C. with the full knowledge that Beijing-produced and -trafficked drugs were being funneled into the veins of American youth, with the profits going to Beijing.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">p664<br />
After 1949, the communists outlawed all drug consumption, I a policy which, like all others, was ruthlessly enforced. Simultaneously, Beijing expanded opium production nationally and brought it under strict state monopoly control.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">As Joseph Douglass reports in his book Red Cocaine, "Their targets were Japan, the United States military forces in the Far East, neighboring countries throughout the Far East, and the U.S. mainland. The primary organizations involved in the early 1950s were the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the Trade Ministry, the Intelligence Service. North Korea was also producing and trafficking narcotics in cooperation with China at this time and was directly connected with the flow of drugs into Japan and into the U.S. military bases in the Far East.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">"China's narcotics operations... have been described by several Chinese officials who later left China and were granted political asylum in other countries. One such official who left in the late 1950s described a secret meeting of state officials in 1952 when the Chinese operation was reorganized and a 20-year plan adopted. At this meeting, decisions were made to standardize grades of narcotics, establish promotion regulations, set pricing schedules that would encourage aggressive marketing, dispatch sales representatives, expand research and production, and reorganize management responsibility."</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">As Douglass reports, "In 1957, at the third meeting of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, attention was focused on the economy. The decision was taken at that meeting to expand drug production as one solution for their economic problems. The collective farms were to be expanded by 100 percent, and similarly, research and production laboratories were to be expanded. To further ease the problems, instructions were sent out to have emigrants invest in business in China and support China's policy and interests, including the marketing of drugs and narcotics. Primary targets were Mexico, the United States and Canada."</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">"The organization behind the Chinese narcotics operations was extensive and involved many ministries and agencies from the national down to the local levels. These organizations oversaw the reclamation of lands for production (Ministry of Forestry and Reclamation), the cultivation and research to produce better varieties of poppies (Ministry of Agriculture), development of opiates (Committee for the Review of Austerity), management of storage and preparation for export (Ministry of Commerce), management of external trade organizations (Ministry of Foreign Trade), statistical control and programming (Central Government Production Board), finance (Ministry of Finance), marketing through special representatives and political intrigue (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), and security and covert operations (Ministry of Public Security).</span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">"Another important overseer of opium production has been the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau of the State Council. Prior to World War I, much of Chinese opium was produced under the direction of British tobacco interests, of which British American Tobacco was the most important. This is the apparent basis for the later role of the P.R.C. Tobacco Bureau in the trade. Interestingly, George Bush's White House counsel C. Boyden Gray, is the heir to the R.J.

From the revolutionary point of view, the poppy is great force to assist the course of our revolution and should be used; from the class point of view, the poppy can also become a powerful weapon to win the proletarian revolution...

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;">The downfall of various criminals in the positions of magistery and gendarmery and procureurs in England and Russia and the United States and several other countries was a foregone conclusion as they had not only surreptitiously, but also quite openly flouted the law and any proper and lawful rule of law and conduct in court and all other related venues. The Mossad and their Sayanim were involved as they had a vested interest in all transnational drug dealing. One of their favorite ploys was to have the B'nai B'rith ADL type of "cooperation" dodge of a given country's and Israeli Military colluding together to help civilian "gendarmery" work in both countries; that of course was a total violation of law in general throughout the nations and the U.S. Constitution and all U.S. law banning the Military and foreign interference with U.S. civil activities on U.S. soil. Not to mention that the bribing and threats and collusion with the shadow dwellers in various positions who were on the take was absolutely unlawful. Moreover the outcome was predictable, drug dealers operated with impunity and only those dealers that weren't part of the "system" were ever bothered in any of those countries. The "system" had its origins in the Russian mob and in fact the original long time famous "French Connection" in Marseilles and was laced through and through with Israelis, including IDF Generals and Shin Bet and Russian Kahal and American gangsters and their accomplices.<br />
</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While Rene and Hifumi were off chasing the transnational modern versions of the "French Connection" in Africa, this time, another one of the honest police was on the scene elsewhere. Paula was a devoted FBI agent and she HATED the corruption in society due to those who "called" themselves the "authorities." The "authorities" was a code word for transit connections of the Triad. They occupied all strata of society.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Paula had a full report on her desk from Rene on his and Hifumi's findings on Quickdraw. She mused over it, her notice drawn to where over a six year period from early 2005 to early 2011, various reports and survelliances on CuTee and his accomplices showed where he had blocked lawful complaints against him and his accomplices and promoted a protection and dealing racket with a firm he had a secret interest in and paid quite a number of corrupt attorneys in various positions to further persecute and threaten anyone who would reveal his muling activities based on his long career in Military Intelligence. She read with interest how Rene described in detail how this was not the lawful normal Military intelligence, but the shadow intelligence that corrupted a number of different nations' governmental agencies. CuTee had worked for and with the "authorities"- in reality the drug dealing transit connections of the Triad, and not a single actual lawful authority among them ever - for a long time.</div>

He lived in the small town with Militarists on all sides whose main job was to control everything he did. The protection they afforded him was secondary. There were Rolls and Bentleys and every other kind of extremely expensive cars that came and went. He was a bird in a gilded cage. There was a local connection to political power in Palestine and another to Israel and a third to the Pan European Union close by. While, like the rest of the profiteers off of the misery of the little people in the Middle East, he made his money off of the transnational pillage and subvert network run by the three superpowers, that didn't stop him from indulging himself in the fantasy that he was loved by his people and respected by others. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just like the connections that stretched around the world, he, like they, ruled through lies, deception, deceit and murder. When the time came for him to be deposed he would go the way of Arafat and Sadam and in the same way as planned for Gaddafi.<br /><br />Gaddafi’s time came and the transnationals gave him no choice but to go out in a bloody fashion. Go out betrayed by his own people. The propagandists in the journalistic sphere for the most part spewed out what they were given. Only a few penetrated to the core of what happened and understood that it was planned that way from the time he was secretly assured that Lockerbie would never touch him, even though it was a Mossad-MI5/6 operation, with plausible deniability spread around by a plethora of Intelligence services. When the Red Queen plays a fool for his money and oil, it is only a matter of time before she screams “off with his head.”<br /><br /><br />When the time came for the Sheikh to go out, all of his political and secret paid connections were going to be destroyed in a very permanent way as well.<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Mikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10835536121754696984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373517525137990149.post-18687773590912596362012-04-21T18:08:00.021-07:002012-05-29T23:05:00.367-07:00The ripping apart, dissolution and destruction of a generation and its effect on the world...<div>The 1960's were not an accident.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Once through them was one time too many.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>1961 had a staid <a href="http://technischeredaktion.blogspot.com/search/label/Eisenhower">President Dwight David Eisenhower</a> warn us of the <a href="http://1law-order-and-justice.blogspot.com/search/label/Military%20Industrial%20Complex">Military Industrial Complex</a>...</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The initials to that are MIC - maybe just coincidence, but add KEY and what do you have?</div><div>M I C K E Y . . .

The center of his cult was in Babylon. Enlil himself the air god, earth god, and storm god (particularly hurricanes) is the son of heaven, personified as the god An, and earth, personified as the goddess Ki. In Sumerian cosmogony, Nammu is the eternal primeval sea (this should be understood as the primal void); the mother of all the gods and the one who gave birth to heaven personified as the god An, and earth, who is personified as the goddess Ki (this should be understood as an emanation or simultaneous procession from the void in a moment of time. This is not the same as God creating, ex nihilo, including time itself as part of His creation). Their union (An and Ki) created the air god Enlil separated from An and Ki (heaven and earth) and the universe was created as heaven and earth separated by Enlil, air (See Section Three: THE ORIGINATOR OF ALL OF THIS IN THE PAGAN SYSTEMS IS THE SERPENT/DRAGON FROM THE COSMIC EGG – THE COSMOCRATORAS OF THE PAGANS AND THE GNOSTICS “cosmocratoras of this darkness” Ephesians 6:12). Enlil was known as lord of the storm, lord of the spirits on earth and in the air, and ghosts. He was the patron god of the city of Nippur, where his temple was called E- Kur (the mountain house). The name Enlil means “lord of the ghost-world.” All of this refers to his being Satan, the arches or archon of the “spiritual wickednesses” condemned by St. Irenaeus (quoting St. Paul, Ephesians 6:12) in Irenaeus’ creed at the beginning where St. Irenaeus says “…that He (Jesus Christ) may (will) send ‘spiritual wickednesses’, and the angels who transgressed and became apostates, together with the ungodly, and unrighteous, and wicked, and profane among men, into everlasting fire…”.</div><div><br />Take especial note of the highly sophisticated Pantheist/Monist system of ancient Chaldaea (extremely like the Mahayana Buddhist perception [both totally wrong of course!] of how existence came into being of the action of an immanent demiurge, or principle from the void). This fulfills completely all the requirements raised by Theistic Evolution and it’s most recent variation, Intelligent Design, and yet does not draw one logically to belief in the True God Who is ABOVE all and a Personal being of infinite Majesty (for instance, His glory reflected in His angels: doxas). This points out the diabolic trap that Intelligent Design really is. We must stay with a rock basic confession of Who God is. He created us, not the other way around! The true God is the God of REVELATION, not theory! </div><div><br /></div><div> </div>SntMartyrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11197760281270769367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373517525137990149.post-46960556080895275382012-04-21T00:42:00.004-07:002012-05-29T11:27:05.772-07:00Elmore James<a href="http://youtu.be/w_Kcmssb23U">Elmore James -

Today's post is late but I simply could not get Blogger to work with me last night. Anyone else ever have that problem w/ Blogger? I'm working on the final sermon in a series (bleeding over from last year) on the nearness of God. This final sermon has to do with heaven, in a sense, but more with the fact that God invaded our space so we could have just a bit more than a glimpse of heaven, and that when we do his will on earth, heaven once again invades earth. I'll let you know how it goes in terms of numbers of sleepers versus listeners versus listeners with obvious interest versus our worship leader staying awake!</div>

Anywho, I was reading (again) through some of Yancey's book, Rumors of Another World, and came across an interesting story of a two-bit Chicago gan[g]ster and rip-off artist (no, it wasn't Jesse Jackson but that would have been a good guess) by the name of Willie Stokes, Jr. Son of Flukey Stokes. The two gained a very bad reputation on the southside of Chicago — beating people up, selling drugs, becoming very rich. Junior was known in the neighborhood as "Willie the Wimp" and was somewhat immortalized by the late, great <a href="http://youtu.be/yLZI2z19vbQ">Stevie Ray Vaughan in his song, "Willie the Wimp."</a><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5895/1076/1600/willie_the_wimp.jpg" style="color: #6666ff; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><br /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzPZBHX3kS8JFnzIlB1GMobIQ_qBfHxPhYwoAcOa0qZcx_8P6oGl3fAMjA5uFxaChofrJdtKHv2aBKjolbGtLacDHDRM9pvIZWhkaScrlf92S8YDzAVjWy2mkjByjDKBw_0u1m4SqQcoDG/s1600/willie_the_wimp.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715385997912042530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzPZBHX3kS8JFnzIlB1GMobIQ_qBfHxPhYwoAcOa0qZcx_8P6oGl3fAMjA5uFxaChofrJdtKHv2aBKjolbGtLacDHDRM9pvIZWhkaScrlf92S8YDzAVjWy2mkjByjDKBw_0u1m4SqQcoDG/s400/willie_the_wimp.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 216px; width: 320px;" /></a></div>

When Willie was murdered in 1984, his father gave him a lavish funeral followed by an equally lavish party. Willie was buried in a casket sporting a grill, tires, steering wheel, front and rear lights (that were flashing), dashboard, and trunk resembling a Cadillac Seville. Willie was propped up with his hands on the steering wheel. Fingers covered with rings and five $100-bills rolled like cigarettes stuck between his fingers. Flannery O'Connor wrote a short story with the title, "You Can't Be Any Poorer Than Dead." With all the flash and glitz of Willie's funeral and death party that followed, I'm sure at some point the family must have realized that Willie couldn't be any poorer than dead! Interestingly, knowing that truth we tend to continue a lifetime pursuit of trying to accumulate more. More money. More possessions. More guitars. When all along, Scripture tells us the true value of life is found in pursuing "God's will on earth as it is in heaven." A lesson I'm still trying to learn. If nothing else, this blog is worth a sermon illustration!</div>

That 90% figure was built into the 1983 Greenspan Commission’s fix of Social Security. Requiring the ceiling to rise with inflation was expected to result in the Social Security tax continuing to hit 90% of total income. But, in 1983 no one predicted the extreme wealth divide that exists today. The richest 1% of Americans got 11.6% of total income in 1983. Today the top 1% takes in more than 20% of total income and as a result the Social Security payroll tax hits only about 83% of their total income. The tax should go back to covering 90% of income.

The paper acknowledged that it was withholding the location of the base at the request of the US administration.<br /><br />The Mexican government statement claimed that the US personnel “do not engage in any operations nor do they carry weapons”, and that their presence and activities were in keeping with “current Mexican legislation” and “full respect” for the country’s “norms and national jurisdiction.”<br /><br />As the Times article made clear, however, the operation has been crafted by Washington and the right-wing Mexican government of President Felipe Calderon “to get around Mexican laws that prohibit foreign military and police from operating on its soil.”<br /><br />Thus, in addition to agents of the CIA and the Drug Enforcement Administration, the operation includes the participation of civilian officials and “retired” military personnel from the Pentagon’s Northern Command.<br /><br />The US military and intelligence operation has, according to the Times, “trained nearly 4,500 new federal police agents and assisted in conducting wiretaps, running informants and interrogating suspects.” In addition, “The Pentagon has provided sophisticated equipment, including Black Hawk helicopters, and in recent months it has begun flying unarmed surveillance drones over Mexican soil to track drug kingpins.”<br /><br />Perhaps most ominously, the Times report cites former DEA officials as stating that Washington and the Mexican government are “considering a proposal to embed a group of private security contractors” inside an elite Mexican counter-narcotics unit that is carrying out many of the “kill or capture” operations against suspected drug traffickers. As the experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan with “contractors” such as Blackwater have shown, the use of such elements will inevitably spell a further escalation in the bloodshed that has claimed nearly 50,000 lives in the past six years.<br /><br />The newspaper added that the US CIA-military “compound had been modeled after ‘fusion intelligence centers’ that the United States operates in Iraq and Afghanistan to monitor insurgent groups.”<br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ozXzJdxN0ahXbr2FoBrqCeRNfrEw1-vtBBbfpGnkuXU0nqSiTaT5xlUFgfZYRRDzBH2jfjIVapWyXUuo3pw6BWBHnTDG9pfKIKumYzvo8UcUvXByxKV_C6YPkY04elCeckPKtVKHfUY/s1600/ovu.png" imageanchor="1" style="text-decoration: none; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ozXzJdxN0ahXbr2FoBrqCeRNfrEw1-vtBBbfpGnkuXU0nqSiTaT5xlUFgfZYRRDzBH2jfjIVapWyXUuo3pw6BWBHnTDG9pfKIKumYzvo8UcUvXByxKV_C6YPkY04elCeckPKtVKHfUY/s1600/ovu.png" style="border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; position: relative; padding-top: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 8px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-color: transparent; border-right-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: transparent; border-left-color: transparent; -webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.199219) 0px 0px 0px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.199219) 0px 0px 0px; border-top-left-radius: 0px 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px 0px; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; " /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /><br />The similarities with the counterinsurgency, “war on terror” operations being waged by the US in the Middle East and Afghanistan are also reflected in the thinking of Mexican officials quoted in the article. It cites one unnamed senior Mexican official as insisting that the US drug war intervention “can’t be a two-, three-, four, five- or six-year policy. For this policy investment to work, it has to be sustained long-term.” In other words, another “long war,” this one waged in US imperialism’s “backyard.”<br /><br />Significantly, the Obama administration has named as its new ambassador to Mexico—his predecessor Carlos Pascual was forced to resign in March after embarrassing disclosures in classified embassy cables released by WikiLeaks—Earl Anthony Wayne, who was called back from Kabul, where he served as the deputy ambassador to Afghanistan, assigned to coordinate US policy with the NATO-led occupation force.<br /><br />Mexican critics of the Calderon government, including attorneys’ associations, human rights groups and others, insist that the joint operation is being carried out in violation of Mexico’s laws and constitution and represents a fundamental surrender of the country’s sovereignty to its powerful imperialist neighbor to the north.<br /><br />In its editorial Monday, the Mexican daily La Jornada stated that the Timesreport “confirms the flagrant violation of the national legal framework by foreign agents deployed on our territory, and even more serious, by Mexico’s federal authorities who have tolerated and even promoted this assault on national sovereignty and constitutional principles.”<br /><br />The editorial went on to denounce US security “cooperation” as part of a “double game” in which Washington offers aid to the Mexican government’s “drug war,” while facilitating the flow of arms to the drug cartels and the profitable laundering of drug money by major US financial institutions.<br /><br />The CIA-US military presence was also denounced by the National Association of Democratic Lawyers (ANAD). The organization’s president, Manuel Fuentes Muñiz, said that the Times report “reveals a heavy dependence of [the Calderon government] on the United States with respect to the investigation of crimes, in other words, colonialism in regard to criminal investigation and justice.”<br /><br />The ANAD president added that the operation “is not only a demonstration of the governmental incapacity of the Mexican authorities in the struggle against transnational organized crime, but also a surrender of sovereignty and a shameless violation of the constitution.”<br /><br />National Union of Jurists president Eduardo Miranda Esquivel said that the operation revealed in the Times report represented “a silent invasion of the national sovereignty by the United States government.” The Calderon government, he said was supporting the “economic, political, cultural and now police-military penetration and intervention by the United States in Mexico.”<br /><br />The revelations concerning the secret CIA-US military operation came as the Mexican national legislature moved ahead with its consideration of a proposed new National Security Law which would provide a legal sanction for the kind of martial law operations—and the wholesale abuses of human rights accompanying them—that have been carried out by the Calderon government in the name of a drug war. On August 2, the Mexican Senate approved the legislation, and committees in the Chamber of Deputies subsequently endorsed it as well. It must still pass the full lower house.<br /><br />The legislation, much of it similar to the Patriot Act imposed under the George W. Bush administration in the US as part of the “global war on terror,” would also facilitate electronic surveillance against Mexican citizens, warrantless searches and the detention of suspects without charges.<br /><br />The legislation empowers the Mexican government to introduce martial law measures under conditions that “place in danger the stability, security, peace and order” of the country or any region, state or city within it.<br /><br />These measures will inevitably be used not just in the so-called drug war, but also against resistance by the Mexican working class to the attacks on its living standards and basic rights.<br /><br />The approval of the new law by the committees in the Chamber of Deputies was condemned by Javier Sicilia, the leader of the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity, which had initiated discussions last month with the legislative branch with the aim of blocking the repressive measures.<br /><br />Sicilia, a well-known poet whose 24-year-old son was killed with six other youths in Cuernavaca last March, has led marches and protests against Mexico’s violence and the government’s drug war policy.<br /><br />In voting for the legislation, Sicilia said, the Mexican legislature was “approving a law legalizing a war that is imposed by the United States and is a source of so many tears and so much pain.”<br /><br />The legislators, he charged, had acted out of “disdain for not just our 50,000 dead, our more than 10,000 disappeared and our more than 120,000 displaced, but it was also out of a disdain … for flesh and bone human beings who are living in our nation today, and who tomorrow, under the auspices of the law, will swell the graves of the dead and the criminals’ reserve army.”</span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span">* * *</span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span">Go here to:</span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on" style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://zionwocommunistainternationalesixth.blogspot.com/2011/11/purpose-of-transnational-drug-trade.html?spref=bl">Communista Internationale Sixth: The purpose of the transnational drug trade</a>: The purpose of the transnational drug trade is LITERALLY to dumb people down and it is the glue that runs these following institutions in in most every country in the world:</span></span></div></div></span></div>Mikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10835536121754696984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373517525137990149.post-79953172446567192382011-11-13T09:32:00.000-08:002011-11-13T09:32:00.274-08:00Culture: "It's a Trick, We Always Use It."
