Introduction
civil and religious liberty, the imprisonment or annihilation of its opposers, and has ever worked behind the
scenes, hidden, destroyed or refuted evidence of its doings, worn disguises designed to fool and mislead,
even presented itself as a heralder of new light, a knight in shining armour, and claimed some moral right or
justification for introducing, sanctioning and implementing the injurious and self-serving."
The poet, author
If via looking back at certain historical things, if via serious research both secular and religious, and if via numerous quotes, articles and books you saw a certain pattern and disturbing parallels, things that seemed to point to a plan, plot, threat (call it what you will) that was far from being in the best interests of you and I (though disguised otherwise), what would you do? Should you keep silent or share?
And hence the article that follows this introduction, and any poems thereafter, each bringing something of their own to the table, and having been very reluctantly penned, though built on certain evidence and history, hardly some conspiracy theory, THE INFORMATION HERE SPEAKING FOR ITSELF.
This article is made up from a mix of COMMENTS and QUOTES, the latter via numerous authors, prime ministers, presidents and so on.
What's on this page is simply for your information, and as I believe it to be, given the thorough research that I've done.
Unfortunately, the same conclusions have sometimes been very badly and thoughtlessly presented by others, and all why people may have been quick to dismiss such conclusions despite the evidence.
It's all a case of, who's really behind who?
At the end of the day, it's for you to decide for yourself whether it all adds up or not.
The poet, author
Is there in fact a plan, plot, threat (call it what you will), and is it global in nature?
The following sample quotes give some idea of behind the scenes activity.
Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets.
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”
David Rockefeller, Baden-Baden, Germany 1991
Buckminister Fuller (1895-1983)
The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans.
The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."
Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
However, are we looking at any country in particluar?
“Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”
Dr. Henry Kissinger, Evians, France, 1991
Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924)
"I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within."
General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964)
"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation...
The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties... and control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country.
They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government.
It operates under cover of a self-created screen and seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."
New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, New York Times, March 26, 1922
"The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes."
Felix Frankfurter, Supreme Court Justice (1882-1965)
“Today the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government – a bureaucratic elite.”
Senator William Jenner, 1954
"There is a de facto “secret government” operating nationally and internationally and involved in the highest circles of the U.S. government, exercising an impact over domestic policies and economics ranging between extreme influence to, at times, outright control. This extreme influence to outright control naturally includes the Presidency."
Mike Culbert
Regarding all this:
The Christian
Bible starts with the book of Genesis (which explains how this world
started), and ends with the book of Revelation (which explains how this
world will end). When speaking of the time just prior to
Christ's return
(which is called the End-time) the book of Revelation has this to say (my own comments in the brackets):
"He [the coming global government] was granted power to give breath to the image [copy] of the beast [the first beast], that the image [copy] of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image [copy] of the beast to be killed [here it's referring to dissenters, those who won't bow to certain demands. Another type of Final Solution?]" (Rev 13:15, NKJV).
"...And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast [the End-time global power]; they worshiped the dragon [Satan] because he gave his authority to the beast [it effectively acting on Satan's behalf]; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him [combat it]?" (Rev 13:3,4, NASB).
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image [copy], and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God…’ ”
(Rev 14:9,10, NKJV).
You may like to
read the book of Revelation for yourself, chapter 13,
verses 11 to18; and chapter 14, verses 9 to13.
Going by those biblical texts, this power:
1) Has a character change, goes from good to bad, turns nasty.
2) Becomes a global one.
3) Causes all to worship it eventually, and those who refuse to bow to it are despatched. Thus it's clearly a Church and State power.
Far-fetched?
"...the United Nations Charter has to be supplemented by a charter of spiritual laws..."
Robert Muller, former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations.
4) Fulfills a past [but revived] power's
evil historic intentions via acting the SAME.
So who is this beast power that once was like a lamb but changes character?
AMERICA FITTING THE PICTURE.
We all know that liberties in America have been rapidly declining, particularly since 911.
American historian William Blum published his "updated summary of the
record of US foreign policy" —
Since the Second World War, the US has:
Attempted to overthrow more than 50 governments, most of them
democratically elected.
Attempted to suppress a populist or national movement in 20 countries.
Grossly interfered in democratic elections in at least 30 countries.
Dropped bombs on the people of more than 30 countries.
Attempted to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders.
In total, the United States has carried out one or more of these
actions in 69 countries. In almost all cases, Britain has been a
collaborator.

as a fruit which rotted before it had a chance to ripen."
Henry Miller (1891-1980), U.S. author
"At the rate America is decaying morally, we shall have to change our national symbol from an eagle to a vulture."
Vance Havner (1901-1986)
"If God doesn't destroy Hollywood Boulevard, He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology."
Jay Leno
“America as a nation is ripe for judgment. The evangelical movement in this country is characterized by an arrogance that is almost beyond belief. The neglect of prayer, the involvement of Philistine methodology, the moral evils, and the doctrinal corruptions that characterise the movement are sufficient to cause Sodomites to wonder at God’s justice in destroying their city while sparing the United States.”
From the book, Looking At America And The Church, by Richard Owen Roberts
"The U.S. is a cosmetic democracy."
John Pilger, Australian journalist
“All three buildings were destroyed by carefully planned, orchestrated and executed controlled demolition.”
Professor Lynn Margulis, Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts at Amherst and National Academy of Science member.
"The fact that the United States has a long and torrid history of backing terrorist groups will surprise only those who watch the news and ignore history."
www.globalresearch.ca
"We use the official definitions of terrorism. The definitions in the U.S. code, in British law, in U.S. Army manuals and so on. And if you use those definitions it follows instantly that the United States is the leading terrorist state in the world."
Noam Chomsky
“Blackwater is a company whose business depends on war and conflict to thrive. It operates in a demand-based industry where corporate profits are intimately linked to an escalation of violence.”
From the book Blackwater by Jeremy Scahill (also the author of the book Dirty Wars).
"In his new book, The Nazis Next Door, Lichtblau reports that thousands of Nazis managed to settle in the United States after World War II, often with the direct assistance of American intelligence officials who saw them as potential spies and informants in the Cold War against the Soviet Union."
Eric Lichtblau is an investigative reporter for The New York Times.
This
global power in its eventual fullness is clearly a Church and State power given that
it not only has
political clout but forces all to worship it, and this
lending
credibility to the quotes that follow.
So who is the beast power that America becomes a COPY of, the one that was wounded, yet revives?
PAPAL ROME FITTING THE PICTURE.
"I see a very dark cloud on our horizon. And that dark cloud is coming from Rome."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
"The day is not distant, and it may be very near, when we shall all have to fight the battle of the Reformation over again"
Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850)
Regarding the book "The Transformation of the Republic" by C.T. Wilcox (2003)
"An expose of Vatican and Jesuit intrigues and interference into the political structure of the United States and Europe. It contains shocking revelations and fully authenticated documentation, much of it hidden for almost 100 years, to support the conclusion that the United States has been transformed from a beacon of light and hope into an empire with beast-like tendencies and that the world is headed for a Vatican led and instigated cataclysm while it sleepwalks towards the edge."
“Long before I was ordained a priest, I knew that my church was the most implacable enemy of this republic [the United States]. My professors of philosophy, history and theology had been unanimous in telling me that the principles and laws of the Church of Rome were absolutely antagonistic to the laws and principles which are the foundation-stones of the Constitution of the United States.”
Fifty Years in the Church of Rome by Charles Chiniquy
“As the nation teeters at the edge of fiscal chaos, observers are reaching the conclusion that the American system of government is broken. But almost no one blames the culprit: our insistence on obedience to the Constitution, with all its archaic, idiosyncratic and downright evil provisions…”
Louis Michael Seidman (Catholic law professor from Georgetown University which is a Jesuit University, “Let’s Give Up on the Constitution,” The Opinion Pages, New York Times, December 30, 2012).
James E. Quigley, Roman Catholic Archbishop, Chicago Daily Tribune, May 5, 1903
“Catholics will dominate the future of America because of sheer numbers. Immigration from Mexico and family sizes means the old Protestant America is throwing itself off a demographic cliff. Tomorrow’s America will be far less Protestant and far more Catholic. At last, Catholics will have a prominent role in the future of America..."
The National Catholic Register, May 15, 2007, and those comments by the editors.
"As a result, within the [Nazi] SS Central Security Service, an organization was created, and most of its main posts were held by Catholic priests wearing the black uniform of the [Nazi] SS. The Jesuit father [priest] Himmler [uncle of Heinrich Himmler] was one of its superior officers.”
The Secret History of the Jesuits by Edmund Paris
"I [Hitler] learned much from the Order of the Jesuits. Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose on earth than the hierarchical organisation of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organisation into my own party."
Adolf Hitler (Smokescreens by Jack Chick, Chick Publications)
“I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the
Jews I am fighting for the Lord’s work.”
Adolph Hitler, Speech, Reichstag, 1936.
"Moreover, the pope has thousands of secret agents worldwide. They include Jesuits, the Knights of Columbus, Knights of Malta, Opus Dei, and others. The Vatican's Intelligence Service and its field resources are second to none."
Dave Hunt, Amercan Baptist Historian
"In 1978, the year that Pope John Paul I was murdered and Pope John Paul II took over the papacy, a set of Vatican stamps was issued featuring a pyramid and an all-seeing eye."
David Icke
I
can't vouch for the validity of the quote just above given that David
Icke is a conspiracy theorist, but it's interesting to note three
things in particular:
1)
Mel Gibson is a Catholic. In his Marion movie, "The Passion Of The
Christ," Jesus, the thief next to Him on the cross, and Barrabus,
end up only having or seeing out of one eye (such not biblical, of
course).
2)
Acording to James Parton (1822-1891), an American historian, and using his words: If
you trace up Masonry, through all its Orders, till you come to the
grand tip-top, head Mason of the World, you will discover that the
dread individual and the Chief of the Society of Jesus [Jesuits] are
one and the same person."
3)
On the back of the American dollar bill there's an all-seeing eye and pyramid too.
Papal Rome (which ruled for over a
thousand years) fits the wounded beast power that revives to a tee given that:
1)
It was wounded via General Berthier (under Napoleon, and in 1798) taking the pope prisoner, and also by the
Protestant Reformation.
2)
It has since remarkably revived, as can be seen in the following quotes:
Loron Wade
"The Catholic Church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe. The pope, as the visible ruler of this immense amassment of wealth is consequently the richest individual in the twentieth century. No one can realistically assess how much he is worth in terms of billions of dollars."
The Vatican Billions by Avro Manhattan
No wonder it dosen't want to declare its finances.
Having said this, there are other identifying marks as well, which once again, Papal Rome also fits to a tee.
Once
upon a time I used to laugh at people who went on about the Jesuits,
but serious research (activated more by accident than design) soon
wiped the smile off my naive face.
Evidence reveals that Jesuits are in key positions in America, and even around the world.
From the book: The Transformation Of The Republic, by C.T.Wilcox, 2005.
"For over 200 years, the goal [of the Jesuits] has been the complete destruction of the United States Constitution. In the religious arena, the goal of the Jesuits is to wipe out any trace of Protestantism and other religions, and to
restore worldwide domination by the pope."
Bill Hughes (From his book The Secret Terrorists)
“The Jesuits, by their very calling, by the very essence of their institution, are bound to seek, by every means, right or wrong, the destruction of Protestantism. This is the condition of their existence, the duty they must fulfill, or cease to be Jesuits.”
Footprints of the Jesuits, R. W. Thompson, 1894
"It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country – the United States of America – are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty. They have instigated most of the wars of Europe."
Marquis de LaFayette, French statesman and general (1757-1834).
“The organization of the [Roman Catholic] Hierarchy is a complete military despotism of which the Pope is the ostensible [apparent; seeming] head; but of which, the Black Pope [the Superior General of the Jesuits], is the real head. The Black Pope is the head of the order of the Jesuits, and is called a General [the Superior General]. He not only has command of his own order, but directs and controls the general policy of the [Roman Catholic] Church. He [the Black Pope] is the power behind the throne, and is the real potential head of the Hierarchy. The whole machine is under the strictest rules of military discipline. The whole thought and will of this machine, to plan, propose and execute, is found in its head. There is no independence of thought, or of action, in its subordinate parts. Implicit and unquestioning obedience to the orders of superiors in authority, is the sworn duty of the priesthood of every grade…”
American Brigadier General Thomas Maley Harris (1817-1906)
"If you trace up Masonry, through all its Orders, till you come to the grand tip-top, head Mason of the World, you will discover that the dread individual and the Chief of the Society of Jesus [Jesuits] are one and the same person."
James Parton (1822-1891), American historian
It
needs to be remembered that the period of Papal Rome persecution (that
spanned hundreds of years) is often mistakenly referred to as the
Christian
Crusades given that Catholicism is not a Christian denomination
but actually a hybrid and power thats adulterated form of Christianity
mirrors ancient Babylon; the Christian Bible knowing nothing of purgatory, a virgin Mary who
intercedes on our behalf, a Queen of Heaven, papal infallibility,
celibate priests, a post-Calvary mediatorial priesthood—not that priests ever forgave sins—rosary beads,
repetitive
prayers, prayers for the dead, indulgences, money for the forgiving of sins, monasteries,
nunneries, an uninspired, error bound apocrypha, baptism by sprinkling, mystic nuns, stations of the cross, etc, etc.
Story Of The Christian Church, p 79, by Jesse Lyman Hurlbut (1843-1930)
The
Bible not only speaks of this power in the book of Revelation, but also
refers to this power in the book of Daniel (chapters two and seven) where this power is called the little
horn. See the following poem that's linked. However,
to keep the continuity flowing, it might be better to come back to this
link later.
"Those Beasts"
Let me break this verse down:
Shall speak words against:
Himself, hidden under a veil of the flesh."
The Catholic National, July 1895
"The Pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense
with all things, even the precepts of Christ."
Decretal, De Translatic Episcop
“Rebutting a belief widely shared by Protestants and a growing number of Roman Catholics, Pope John Paul II dismissed Tuesday the “widespread idea that one can obtain forgiveness directly from God,” and exhorted Catholics to confess more often to their priests.”
December 12, 1984, The Los Angeles Times

And the Law:
of sabbath observance from Saturday to Sunday is proof of the fact.”
Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Canada, Sept 1,1928
“We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity
from Saturday to Sunday.”
Peter Geiermann, The Converts Catechism of Catholic Doctrine p.50, (1946 ed.).
"Sunday is founded, not of Scripture, but on tradition, and is distinctly a Catholic insitution."
Catholic Record, Sep 17, 1893.
“Most Christians assume that Sunday is the biblically approved day of worship. The Catholic Church protests that it transferred Christian worship from the biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, and that to try to argue that the change was made in the Bible is both dishonest and a denial of Catholic authority. If Protestantism wants to base its teachings only on the Bible, it should worship on Saturday.”
www.immaculateheart.com/maryonlineDec 2003
The seventh day (Saturday) Sabbath is the FOURTH Commandment of God's Ten Commandment Law.
In
AD 364, at the Council of Laodicea (a Roman Catholic council), Sunday
observance instead of Saturday was introduced as church law by the
Bishop of Rome (Canon 29 of this council, which specifies Judaizing — keeping the 7th day Saturday Sabbath — as the reason for avoiding Saturday Sabbath observance].
It
was Catholicism (Papal Rome) that forced its dogma on all (or else) for over a thousand years. And the current pope is once again calling for
Sunday observance (free of business and backed by legislation) under the guise of a needed rest day for the Earth and so on.
It's interesting to note the following:
Though such failed, could it happen again?

the seventh day Saturday Sabbath, click on the following link. However,

All why I have a problem with Catholicism, not Catholics.
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679)
"Anybody who is acquainted with the state of affairs in the Vatican in the last 35 years is well aware that the prince of darkness has had and still has his surrogates in the court of St. Peter in Rome.”
Catholic scholar Dr. Malachi Martin, formerly a Jesuit professor at Georgetown
University and a confidant of Vatican insiders.
Now referring back to Daniel 7:25 here, the following text in the book of Revelation sheds more light on things:

Edith Kermit Roosevelt, First Lady of the U.S., 1901-1909
"The Jesuits failed in their attempts to have a world governing body following World War One. They accomplished their sinister goal after World War Two. Following the war, the weary, aching world was conditioned to accept an international government, and the United Nations was born. Since the creation of the United Nations in 1945, this so-called ‘peace-keeping’ body has failed miserably in keeping peace around the world. Why? Because keeping peace is not their purpose, even though they continue to claim that it is. There are presently some 83 different wars around the world. However, it has certainly been instrumental in suppressing liberty loving people. Katanga and Rhodesia are just two examples of nations crushed by U. N. forces. The United Nations has worked tirelessly to restore the temporal power of the papacy — its purpose from the beginning."
Bill Hughes (From his book The Secret Terrorists)
But who will lead the charge?
AN
INFILTRATED AND CORRUPTED EVANGELICAL PROTESTANTISM FITTING THE PICTURE
VIA AN EVENTUAL POLITICAL-RELIGIOUS CHURCH AND STATE PUSH. THUS PROTESTANTS WILL DO THAT WHICH PAPAL ROME HAS SOUGHT SINCE AMERICA'S FOUNDING.

Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850)

Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951)
Cal Thomas
"The fact is, no country has been as dominant culturally, economically, technologically and militarily in the history of the world since the Roman empire"
Charles Krauthammer
Myron Augsburger
"We Christians may not do as Americans something that we must not do as Christians. As we listen to and debate arguments about going to war, note how often our Christian identity is subordinated to our American identity. We have been so formed by the collusion of the church with America that we find it difficult to even distinguish between Christian and national identity, and harder to subordinate our national identity to our identity in Christ."
Jonathan R. Wilson
So how many players might
there be, but all roads eventually leading to the IMAGE of that past beast that effectively does the speaking via another means.
Also worth knowing, or so it goes:
That
Vatican city,
The City of London (London's inner city, one square mile —
the world's
financial power centre which houes the Rothschild controlled ‘Bank of
England,’ Lloyds of London, the London Stock Exchange, all British
banks, the branch offices of 384 foreign banks, 70 USA banks, Fleet
Street's newspaper and publishing monopolies, headquarters for
worldwide Freemasonry, and headquarters for the worldwide money cartel
known as The Crown, or Firm),
and
The District of Columbia (each having their own flag), are three
interlocking city states (an empire), and that the flag of Washington's
District of Columbia has three red stars on it, one for each of these
city states, one city state ruling the world economically, one
militarily, and one spiritually (and indeed Papal Rome will one
day, going by the above, hence that Reformation reversal, and here we
go again. And Papal Rome having used the military might of others before).
"He [the coming global
government] was granted power to give breath to the image
[copy] of the beast [the first
beast], that the image [copy] of the beast
should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image [copy] of the beast
to be killed [here it's
referring to dissenters, those who won't bow to certain demands; another type of Final Solution perhaps]"
(Rev 13:15, NKJV).
Interestingly, at the center of each city state are giant phallic shaped stone monuments called obelisks.
Joseph Sobran (1946-2010)
Of course, because the same people have been at work all along.
Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets.
By the way, why is pointing out the errors in any denomination or religion important?
Because that information made public can help prevent others from embracing that same error.
Because that information made public can help those who’ve already embraced that error to see why it is in fact error.
Because
that information should naturally be made available in order for people
to not only make up their minds but truly have freedom of choice.
Because
people often come up with opposite arguments from the very same source
as us — the Bible, say — thus one not only having to find and present
the correct position, the truth, but show and prove the error in any
counter argument, which some people wrongly call knocking when
it's really informing and aiding.
Because
certain beliefs that some people are holding to are unhealthy, or very
destructive — ISIS being one example. And such passing from generation
to generation. And also bearing in mind here that Papal Rome was responsible for the
death of many millions over its more than one thousand year reign.
Because much that's been said and done in the name of God hasn't been of God at all.
When I can no longer challenge your beliefs, and you can no longer challenge mine,
Liberty has been assaulted, God offended, and those in power have crossed the line.
When we can no longer point out error, and a charlatan or tyrant expose,
Freedom has become a memory, man enslaved, and truth dismantled by its foes.
“It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power
to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds
of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics”
Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988)

POEMS
Important Note:
The introduction and article above should be read first given the critical nature of this page (unless you've already
read it, of course, not just clicked on the link to the poems on this page).
It's also important that the few poems here be read in conjunction with the poems on my page World Concerns, Home page, and the section The Changing Of America, because the twenty odd poems that are there are not only
part and parcel of it all, but equally as important.
The following poems also contain Christian content or degree.
This poem was penned 23 August 2009.
A Letter To The Pope
(Re the encyclical Caritas in Veritate, Pope Benedict XVI)
I hear you’re calling for a New World Order — in our interests, of course,
However, given history, such a proposal I can’t endorse.
For not long ago, a religious power reigned for hundreds of years,
And savagely so, using the state’s military might, hence my fears.
In the Christian Bible in the book of Revelation, chapter thirteen,
It appears to be warning of a repeat of that same historic scene;
That most will be fooled into going along with a new order of things,
From which I understand persecution and murder once again springs.
It says that this new world wide power will act just like the other one,
Forcing its dogma on all, sometime after its reign has begun.
Obviously it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing; Satan’s vehicle, tool,
Which eventually will bring everybody under his rule.
Hence my concerns, lest you’re desiring what may fulfil this prophecy,
Which also appears to be tied in with the end of earth’s history.
Given the state of the world currently, and maybe what you’re suggesting,
Could it be earth’s end is near, and you, wrongly in such plans investing?
It appears that this new power — a New World Order, undoubtedly,
May be tied in with that past cruel religious power, intriguingly.
The Christian Bible says that the new power’s a copy of an old one,
And that this new religious power is one that all on earth should shun.
Hence why I can’t go along with calls for a New World Order, you see,
More so, one that in time would curtail civil and religious liberty.
Besides, no one body should control every nation, humanity,
And certainly not a religious one steering the military.
Yes, history often repeats itself, and New World Orders aren’t new,
At least that is, in the minds of those ones who such have tried to pursue.
After all, isn’t such the ultimate for those who’re power hungry,
Or who’re religiously deluded and unsound spiritually?
By that I mean, history is strewn with the likes, who’ve come and gone,
After having wickedly plundered, raped, tortured and stamped upon.
All in the name of religion, or some other justification,
Working their murderous way from city to city, nation to nation.
And then the world, or so they’ve hoped, and might have — but not, fortunately;
And who would have it otherwise who values freedom and liberty?
For power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,
Despite the best of intentions, or efforts of humanity.
It appears that the new power somehow gains the confidence of all,
Managing to deceive — that is, those who foolishly for such fall.
And given it’s a world wide power, a New World Order, clearly,
I’d encourage you to reconsider your proposal; Yours sincerely,

And that past religious power? Papal Rome.

A
Letter To Pope Francis
Going by God’s Word, which all Christians should, all men are equal, but none Holy,
’Cause we’re fallen, sinful, mortal creatures, and thus all in need of Calvary.
Hence my approaching you as a fellow brother, for things you’ve said concern me,
Though such not all I may address, 'cause other things bother considerably.
I as a peace loving person, and a
Christian, was appalled to hear you say:
“If someone insulted my
mother, I would punch them,” which is hardly Christ’s way.
Nor prudent given Papal Rome’s
violent, bloody, oppressive history,
And so completely at odds with
“turn the other cheek”-cum-Christianity,
And, at the end of the day, it simply not something a church leader
should say.
“It’s only natural,” you said,
and I thought, what about sanctification,
The Holy Spirit’s moulding and
empowering, we thus a new creation.
And haven’t you condemned violence,
and doesn’t violence beget
violence?
Hence those brawls we see, the
arrival of the police and oft an ambulance.
If someone insulted my mum, I’d show
then the door, certainly speak my mind,
But punch them? No, for such a
sad response would declare me hot-headed or blind.
And such would put me offside
with Christ, even Paul who was once known as Saul,
A persecutor who became a
pacifist, loving example to all.
Sure Christ chased the
moneychangers out of the temple (though He’d good reason to),
But His prerogatives aren’t our prerogatives,
and we not reverence due.
And this, by the way (and
respectfully),
Why I question popes having
ascended the throne of Caesars, effectively,
And their acceptance of
adulation that only God
is due, He alone Holy.
Yes, no apostle ever sat on a
throne, nor amongst treasure or glory,
They treading the same humble
path as their Saviour, their
lives a different
story.
And we not even to bow to Holy
angels, let alone some earthy man,
Who, lets be honest, is
worshipped by many as if he were God, rather than,
A fallen, human, mortal,
fallible man.
I also heard you say that
freedom of expression must have its limits, and,
Given how Papal Rome once
snuffed such, I wondered, has Satan got something planned?
Well, I mean to say, Papal
Rome seems to be on the upper — influential —
Its Napoleonic wound having
healed, and I foreseeing much potential.
You see, there is that
documented clandestine Jesuit activity,
In other words, their
post-Reformation interfering with democracy,
Their counter Reformation measures, and their great hatred of democracy,
And hence why I’m so
concerned, for few are protesting today, unlike before,
And thus Church and State
looming closer, a New World Order knocking at the door.
And you being the first Jesuit pope — and
as I understand it,
Are subservient to the Jesuit General (the Black Pope)
Who'll take over when the time is right, and as planned, on your throne sit,
And in the past, Papal Rome having used the military might of others,
And I meaning, to its own
benefit.
So please forgive my
frankness, but that talk of punches and limiting free speech,
Hardly gels with Scripture,
God’s grace, and may say more about the Vatican’s reach.
After all, you’ve a billion
followers, seem to address the world via TV,
“And the whole world was
astonished and followed the beast” just seems to click with me.
That beast being a power mentioned in the book of Revelation, you see.
And there you have it,
courtesy of free speech that God has granted to us all,
And no doubt Earth's greatest
defender of free speech would be the apostle Paul.
He once having persecuted
those who spoke contrary to what he believed,
Yes, he deludedly thinking they were wrong
when it was him
who’d been deceived.
All why we shouldn’t try to
put our stamp on others, or encroach on free speech,
Nor throw a punch, lashing out
like Peter, who a better way Christ sought to teach,
And who said, “My kingdom’s
not of this world,” and why Christians shouldn’t seek power,
And rather than trust in
fallen man, patiently wait until Christ’s coming hour,
He appearing in the sky, not
upon Earth; and every earthly kingdom will devour.
Oh, by the way, if the Vatican is
that “beast” power of Revelation
That most folk will be amazed at and follow (thereby forfeiting
salvation),
Then I’d assume there’d be some fancy footwork, smoke and mirrors,
signs, wonders, and,
You, Sir, perhaps having pulled off something amazing, hailed
throughout each land.
And as for the second “beast” that’s an image of this first one, I
would assume
It to be another
Church and State power that will also
be courting doom.
One having given room to the first “beast,” and made up of
Protestants, I dare say,
And as for its embryo, I’d imagine we’re looking at the USA,
A very different USA, a lamb that somehow becomes a dragon, say.
So why Protestants and the USA?
Well,
Most Americans are wildly patriotic, and that means Protestants too,
Who’re seen to tie Christianity in with their country — well, most of them do —
And many of these USA Protestants wanting Church and State tethered; and
They reaching out to you, Pope Francis, even taking your prized Mary in
hand,
And some calling for reunification — and you, reaching out to them too.
Now this (against what the early Protestants believed) is where I see
a link,
America and the Vatican moving closer-cum-New World Order Inc.
In other words, a religious-political “beast” power, an “image,” say,
One that will soon govern Earth, it much like that one back in Martin
Luther’s day.
And I would assume that sabbatarians would be persecuted again,
Sunday observance soon being forced on all via some legislative pen.
Yes, I’ve heard you calling for a return to Sunday sacredness, and not
just you,
But many American Protestants too thus showing allegiance to who?
Now, I don’t have a problem with you personally, but just biblically,
For no matter how good a man is, he’s a concern if errant Scripturally.
And hence why the Bible warns of false prophets, those whose teachings
clash with God’s Word,
For God’s the God of truth (not just the God of love) who doesn't
want error heard;
And I'm reminded of how Papal Rome once wrongly withheld the Bible,
God's Word.
Though a pope may condemn poverty, war and evil, speak of kindness and
love,
He’s still under God’s judgment if not in line with all God’s revealed
from above.
In other words, God’s Law for example, it not a ceremonial law,
But moral and perpetual, not to be touched by some
interfering paw.
But what do I see you promoting, a worship day that’s foreign to
Scripture,
The seventh day Sabbath-cum-Saturday having been removed from
the picture.
Yes, neither God nor His apostles commanding such, and why on Earth
would they?
For there’s nothing wrong with that seventh day Sabbath, but a great
deal with Sunday,
A universal day that'll soon to be hailed by all, I believe -- well, almost all.
Hence why those who’ll worship the “beast” will turn on those who worship the Creator,
Just like Cain (who worshipped wrongly too) turned on Able — murdered him, what’s more.
They keeping Sunday, remembering Christ’s resurrection, not His Sabbath day,
And nor His creatorship; enter evolution, that non-hallowed Sunday.
And oh, how Mary’s venerated, she not equal with Christ, nor above him,
and
She no intercessor, queen of Heaven, nor to be worshipped, put on some
stand.
And yet, popes swinging incense before her, kneeling before her,
kissing her feet,
Bowing and praying to an idol of her — oh, how Christ they blaspheme
and cheat!
The truth is, that Mary was never blessed above all women, but was simply
The most blessed among women, and thus such rituals meaningless, quite frankly.
And so, with respect and concern, I point you to God’s Word which has this to say:
That those who stray from the path of right and truth will have to face His judgment day.
And err Catholicism has, pagan, occultic symbols rife within her,
Including idol after idol, doctrines that aren’t Scriptural, and why, Sir,
I once again point to the Word of God which condemns all who act contrary,
All who even speak contrary to its teachings, and wrongly exalt Mary.
Neither God nor the apostles said that church ministers were not to marry,
Such but Babylonian, and nor does the Bible speak of purgatory,
And nor, by the way, does it endorse any monastery or nunnery.
So why would Catholicism teach such, unless of course, it wasn’t Christian,
Or not truly Christian, and I guess this taking me back to where I came in.
You said:
“Any form of violence inflicted upon women is blasphemy against God,
because God was born of a woman.”
Yes, this you said when saying sorry for slapping a woman’s hand, but wrongly,
Because blasphemy is what’s personally directed against God, you see.
Thus you’re wrong on both counts, the slapping and that statement, which shows you’re fallible,
And given all those paedophile priests, history seems to be ringing a bell,
Because pedophilia was rife in ancient Rome And Greece, thus all not well.
Yours sincerely.

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12, NIV).
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we [the apostles] preached to you,
let him be eternally condemned!” (Gal 1:8, NIV).

Papal Rome is really just pagan Rome in ecclesiastical dress — and hence the term
Roman Catholic.
It’s a Church and State Power with its own domain, flag, currency and
stamps, along with Swiss military guards.
"The Papacy is not other than the Ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof."
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679)
Note:
Collier's Encyclopedia — Saturday, seventh day of the week.
"So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation" (Gen 2:3, ESV).
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and
do all your work, but the
seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you
shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your
daughter, your male servant, or your female servant,
or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in
six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in
them, and rested
on the seventh day.
Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy" (Ex 20:8-11, ESV).
But,
"He [a past power] shall
speak words against the Most High [God], and shall [did] wear out the
saints of the Most High [persecuted them], and shall think to change the times and the law
[God's Ten Commandments]..." (Dan 7:25, ESV).
“We
observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church
transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.”
Peter
Geiermann, The Converts Catechism of Catholic Doctrine p 50, (1946 ed.).
The only reason that I
mention Catholicism is, because I believe that biblical prophecy refers
and points to it (both past and present), and that evidence attests to
it, as being in opposition to both God's Word and will, and a danger to
liberty and freedom, and this, despite what Catholicism might say in
its defence.
What's
Really Going On?
And then comes some kind of a saviour
who delivers peace, and who might that be?But this midst humans having surrendered their liberty for security.
Yes, humanity having been frightened into submission — in other words,
The acceptance of a very controlled planet, sense having flown with the birds.
And much that’s frightened us no accident, but the work of some behind the scene,
Insiders and outsiders, some things planned or not prevented, and now routine.
And some folk asking, “Who might some terrorists actually be linked with, and,
Is it all designed to get us backing who knows what, who, such carefully planned?”
Yes,
Folk even clamouring for such security, they disregarding the cost,
Much like turkeys clamouring for Christmas, and in time, sensing that all is lost.
And such the result of ignorance or disbelief, a trust that was misplaced,
Many so naive, or their head in the sand when certain things should’ve been faced.
It’s just another conspiracy theory, folk say, and thus how they get caught,
And unwittingly the very ones who’re up to no good foolishly support.
And this because these ones they support are oft wolves in sheep’s clothing, evil men,
But men who cleverly paint themselves as noble or godly, and hence my pen.
Now if I may digress with your permission:
Could the anti-Christ that the Bible speaks of be a wolf in sheep’s clothing too,
Some person or power looking good when actually bad, thus false, not true?
Yes, appearing to be for God when against God, for man when against man, and,
Fooling via signs and wonders, some coup that has folk applauding throughout each land.
Yes, some kind of saviour who the world will follow in amazement, listen to,
But they simply beguiled by a monster of whose intention they had no clue.
And bedfellows aplenty, their plans having worked, and folk just like those turkeys,
Christmas not as they’d wished, the steam from their self-imposed pot waffling with the breeze.
So what’s really going on, or am I as mistaken as I’d prefer to be,
Given that if I’m not we’re headed for an end that folk will rue bitterly.
And this being why we should guard against anything that nibbles at liberty,
Encroaches on free speech, hinders access to truth, gives room to skulduggery.

poem was penned 10th November 2016.
Make
America Great Again?
It’s my strong belief
that the world is really run by those who’re behind the scene,And who will use any person or any vehicle, but remaining unseen.
So any attempt to “drain the swamp,” or some, “Come together,” movement, won’t stop them,
And may even suit them, pleasing rhetoric and some clever cover aiding them.
Their end being: Earth their way, and it under their total control — yes, you and I,
All eventually forced to succumb to their will — otherwise, will suffer or die.
But most fooled by the rhetoric, even seeming progression, they willing lackeys,
Unable to discern the truth of the matter, thus only too willing to please.
Oh, how many so-called Saviours we’re seen already in the form of mortal men,
Or women; their failure, betrayal or corruption more fodder for the writer’s pen.
And world domination no new thing, but this time more subtle and clever, maybe,
And by the way, such a scenario predicted via biblical prophecy.
So,
“Make America Great Again,” could be a Trojan horse, and one day, enter force,
Though even if such were an innocent movement, it turning nasty in due course.
The world forced to follow suit, one way or another, and who knows where that might end,
And why I’m less excited and more concerned, and thinking, you should be too, dear friend.
And bear in mind those assassinations, and I thinking of John F. Kennedy,
Lincoln too, and how their deaths shattered many dreams, left folk feeling angry, empty.
All why excitement can be premature, those behind the scene planting or felling,
Though many so-called Saviours promising us things when something just isn’t gelling.
And it's no wonder, the characters of some of these saviours seriously flawed,
And skeletons hanging in their closet, and why too quick folk are seen to applaud.
They too accepting of words and actions that should be a warning, and why it is,
They’re soon disappointed by that failure, betrayal or corruption that’s hers or his.

“And at another moment I [God] may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build
and plant it [bless], but if it does evil in My sight, not listening to My voice, then I will change my mind
about the good that I had intended to do to it” (Jer 18:9,10).
Soon We'll See Who's Right
When Church and State are wed — Hello, America — we’ll once again see bloodshed,
And why the Bible warns of such, prophesies such, and that time’s just ahead.
Those who forget the past so bound to repeat it — “But things are different now,”
Well, so some like to think, lambs to the slaughter, the fox in the henhouse, and pow!
Sharp eyes seeing it coming, just like the Bible predicts, and why soon we’ll see
Protestants and Catholics leading the charge together, so disastrously.
’Cause then, just like we’re told, legislation following in their footsteps, and why
Persecution will arrive again, and liberty out the window will fly.

Regarding The One World Government
upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.” (1Thess 5:3, Douay-Rheims Version).
Why I believe the coming New World Order (one world government) is a very bad thing for humanity:
The NWO is incompatible with the notion of limited government, and is too much power in the hands of too few.
Given that no human or system can be trusted with the death penalty given how flawed both humans and systems are, how could such be trusted with total control of our world?
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
There is no option of "voting with your feet" under a one world government. People will not be able to question such once it's in place. Such will be too big and powerful to oppose, too big to turn around once in place.
The NWO will force all to go along with it — won't abide dissenters. Such is a clear attack on one's say and freedom.
Such creates the potential for a master stroke — that being, the total lock-stock-and-barrel control of all.
No matter how benign or hopeful a one world government may look, bear in mind what it could turn into later down the track. Something irreversible? A risk that is far too great to take. Imagine the potential for evil. Such a one world government will place all countries in a position where they could easily be manipulated, pressured and forced to conform to a certain line or law, be such via embargoes or other.
A NWO can't change hearts which is where the real problem lies within humanity.
Ask yourself, why is such coming on the heels of less freedom, loss of certain liberties, a dampening of free speech, greater restrictions, and more government control? Surely that should ring alarm bells.
Such can play into the hands of those with a behind the scenes agenda, those operating behind the face that we see. There are those (some of note) who are saying that certain ones who are calling for such are the very ones causing the problems, that certain problems are deliberately being created and specifically crafted to bring about restrictive legislation and a desire for the so-called security of a NWO — a slow progression that has taken place over a long period of time to avoid revolution.
A new world order can set the stage for a return to Church and State. Are we seeing certain overtures being made to certain religious personages? Or the other way round? The Christian Bible predicts that a worldwide religious-political persecuting power will be ruling the earth just prior to Christ’s return, one that forces all to worship it, one that emulates a past persecuting power (Revelation 13:11-18).
And there you would have the biggest cult ever, and the death penalty playing into its hands.
The Christian Bible when speaking of the time just prior to Christ's return, and the global government, has this to say:
"He [the coming global government] was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast [a past persecuting power], that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed [here it's referring to dissenters, those who won't bow to certain demands]" (Rev 13:15, NKJV).
"At the end of a century that has seen the evils of communism, Nazism and other modern tyrannies, the impulse to centralize power remains amazingly persistent."
Joseph Sobran (1946-2010)
"A one world government-cum-New World Order can only but sneer at the Statute of Liberty which
would be holed as surely as the Titanic."

Long In The Planning
It’s not some made up story, but a fact, that behind the scenes there’re those who’re plotting to control humanity,
And who’ll no doubt succeed due to most thinking that such a scenario is just a conspiracy theory.
Well, such certainly isn’t a conspiracy theory, for there is evidence clearly showing otherwise,
And remember: That those who evilly plot and scheme, such hardly advertise, but rather, cleverly disguise.
Yes, such is packaged to attract and thereby fool, which ignorance aids and abets, and that disbelief we see,
For which there’s no excuse given the information that can be found, and despite the media piracy.
That is, the manipulation of any form of media by those who get control of such in some way,
In order to ridicule those who’re telling the truth — and in truth’s place, nothing but cruel lies and half truths convey.
There has always been those who wished to control the world, and it’s no different today, hence that attempt being made,
And which has been long in the planning, and which now is dressed in rather pleasing rhetoric in order to persuade.
And persuade it no doubt will given we don’t seem to learn from history, lost in pleasures and naivety,
Unable to see that some New World Order (pursued by all or a few) is the craziest absurdity.
Yes, best each nation do its own thing — rightly and fairly, that is — and not buy into some global piracy,
That is, some cleverly disguised world power that’ll force its dictates on all eventually, and wickedly.
No, we’d never be able to vote with our feet, for such centralised control would soon end such, which is why we
Should oppose any One World Government — any agency, people, or course that desires that such a thing be.

Nothing Will Prevent It From Happening
According to John the Revelator, via the Bible’s book of Revelation,
There’ll soon be a New World Order, global power controlling every nation.
And so, nothing will prevent it from happening, no voices, no actions, and thus
Our only hope of true freedom, liberty and real joy being found in Jesus.
The Bible says that this coming power will work amazing signs and wonders, and
Fool most of humanity via such, and just as Christ’s enemy (Satan) has planned.
So yes, speak out do, because it’s a persecuting power demanding worship
(Or else) — well, eventually, that is — and why all will soon feel its iron grip.
I wish it wasn’t so, but it’s been predicted, and much evidence can be found,
It no conspiracy theory, and the Bible’s pages well and truly truth bound.
It’s accuracy proven, its signs of the times happening right before our eyes,
Yet, because of unbelief, most will fall for the lies, and thus be caught by surprise.
And so, it hardly a smooth road ahead, and hence some strange things that are going on,
Things that just don’t add up (evil agents at work who desire liberty gone).
Total control the agenda, and the devil the mastermind behind it all,
Wanting Earth for himself, having opposed God’s authority ever since his fall.
It’s just been a time thing, God having to wait till it comes to fruition, and then
He on His way soon after it’s begun, but nobody knowing exactly when.
And thus believers in Christ told to endure until His wrath ends that wicked reign;
His command to love just like Him, and never cause harm to anyone, more than plain.
By Lance Landall
This article is designed to simplify (from the biblical perspective) the article above and
what Foes Of Humanity is all about.
Let Me Make It Very Simple
Heaven is God's headquarters from where He rules and runs the universe (this world and the other worlds that He has created that aren’t fallen like our one).
One of His subjects, Lucifer, a very privileged angel (head of all the other angels), became jealous of Him, wanting to be equal with Him, and such ending in open rebellion (all why Lucifer is now referred to as Satan, the devil, the serpent or roaring lion).
Satan and a third of Heaven's angels who were duped by him, and who thus sided with him, were removed from Heaven.
Satan thus being the origin of sin, evil, suffering, cruelty, oppression, tyranny and wicked fellow angels — spirit beings — who're responsible for the occult and the likes of certain magic, mysterious apparitions, and psychic mediums through which they often work and continue to fool (the Bible telling us that the dead no nothing).
Ever since Satan's removal from Heaven, he has not only sought to make God look really bad, and to undermine the truth of His Word (the Christian Bible), particularly via Darwin’s theory of evolution, but has also sought our personal downfall (even destruction), and total control over planet Earth and humanity.
Hence Adam and Eve’s fall.
From this moment on, sin entered this planet like an infectious disease, not only corrupting humans but causing the gradual decaying of our world.
Hence why there are two forces at work in our world now, good (God, love) and evil (Satan, hate).
As far as total control over planet Earth and humanity goes, and despite trying via previous powers that sought world domination (including a Church and State one, all biblically predicted), Satan hasn’t succeeded yet, but the Christian Bible warns that he soon will via a coming global persecuting power that will deceive most via its clever spiel, cunning, signs and wonders. A power that eventually demands worship. One that we’re told is a copy of that previous Church and State power (that was wounded but revives, Rev 13:3) and that eventually fulfills what that past power sought to do. And this why God will never support any attempt to install such a government, and why His Word speaks ill of it.
Robert Muller, former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations
Because God has given us the freedom and liberty to choose between Him and Satan, good and evil, the right path or wrong path (God not wanting robots), He has to wait until that time when Satan will succeed in gaining total control of Earth.
This way the inhabitants of Earth, Heaven, and other created worlds will finally see Satan’s true heart and long term intentions — in other words, where such a heart and rebellion leads to. And this way there will never be another murmur against God (who thinks in terms of eternity), Satan’s accusations having been proven groundless, and thus no one will want to follow in the likes of Satan’s selfish, destructive footsteps again (given that God hasn’t made us robots, and that nor will we become such).
Meantime, God aches for an end to it all and promises that one day it will end.
He being the very same God who gave us a way out via Calvary (the setting up of His rescue mission), and the same God who secured the permanency of our race via a boat [ark] when He could’ve destroyed everyone via the global flood, or let them destroy themselves, which they would’ve given that there was only one family still living righteously, and thus they the occupants of that boat.
The Bible tells us that just prior to Christ’s return (when He comes to get the repentant), most humans will have got to that same sad state that existed in Noah’s time and that brought about the global flood.
That cataclysmic disruption to our planet has resulted in massive scars like the Grand Canyon, fish fossils at the top of mountain ranges, volcanoes, fault lines and consequent earthquakes.
The Bible also tells us that just prior to Christ’s return (and due to planet Earth’s decay and so on) there will be an increase in seismic activity, pestilences, pandemics and calamities. These, it says, are the beginning of sorrows.
God has always had our best intentions at heart because He’s the God of love and truth. A God that Satan has always sought to misrepresent given that he has always been jealous of the glory and honour that God alone is due. And given that Satan is no doubt angry over his loss of Heaven and his fate to come, and why he'll take as many with him as he can, and, by the way, why he's behind all the mayhem and trickery, one way or another, and often in order to bring about his End-time plans.
If God wasn’t slowly removing His restraining hand (man’s cup of iniquity full), many wouldn’t awaken from their folly and peril, realise what’s going on, and thus would be lost for all eternity.
