CHAPTER II
IMAGINE A COLOSSAL MACHINE

PART 1: THE AMERICAN NEW
WORLD ORDER SYSTEM

NO CONSCIENCE; NO GUIDING
SET OF MORAL VALUES

In an article I wrote back in 2005 - "The Machine vs. the Church" - I asked the reader to,

"Imagine a colossal Machine that moves about the earth gobbling up everything in its path. The acquisition of wealth and 'precious things' is its sole preoccupation. It is sustained by its own forward motion, guided mainly by its own carnal appetites, and it is growing larger and accelerating as it goes. It uproots whole populations in its quest for riches; it destroys communities, it devastates the environment, and it rolls over and crushes all those who get in its way. It possesses no conscience and no guiding set of moral values. It is, in fact, totally and completely amoral. No government is able to stop it; it recognizes no boundaries, no borders, no higher authority. It allows no limits to be placed on its appetite, and its presence in the world is, in the words of author William Greider, 'transformational' in a very vile and wicked way. Indeed, Greider sees the Machine pushing the world inexorably -

'... toward some sort of dark abyss'.

"The Machine is 'manned' by an army of robot-like workers, each with his own job to perform, each possessing his own special niche; each answerable to a HIERARCHY that permits no deviation from 'Standard Operating Procedures'. All independent thought is anathematized. TOTAL OBEDIENCE to the dictates of the HIERARCHY is demanded from all workers on the Machine. They must see themselves as having value only insofar as they have value to the Machine; and if and when they fail in their performance, or express any independent thought whatsoever, they are 'cast out' of the Machine and onto the mounds of wreckage left behind in the Machine's merciless track, there to rot while someone else - someone from the 'outside' eager to replace the worker on board the Machine, or someone from the 'inside' anxious to work his way up the HIERARCHY - steps in to replace him.

"Those who are cast aside become NON-PERSONS; human wrecks; derelicts alone on a sea without horizons, destitute itinerants without hope in this world. They are avoided like the plague, and their groveling, obsequious presence becomes a proverb against all those who would even think of challenging the Machine's omniscience."

THIS MACHINE ACTUALLY EXISTS

I went on to say:

"This Machine actually exists in the world today. It is called the AMERICAN NEW WORLD ORDER SYSTEM and the fact of its reality is the one essential truth of EVERYONE'S social, economic and religious existence - and unless one intends to withdraw from the world altogether, there is no place to hide from it.

"It aims sooner or later to subsume and absorb into its mechanism the whole world and all of mankind, and to this end it has sent out into all the earth its 'priests and prophets' as plenipotentiaries and emissaries to extol its virtues to the 'masses' and to command the whole of mankind to bow down and serve it.

"The question before every person in the world today is how does he or she relate to the machine? Do they submit to it, or do they resist?"

PART 2: THE MACHINE'S
PRIESTS & PROPHETS

THEY SET UP TEMPLES
OF WORSHIP TO MAMMON

I continued by saying:

"The 'priests and prophets' who act as the Machine's ambassadors and who scurry devoutly and piously about from nation to nation setting up temples of worship to the god of the Machine call themselves 'Christians', but they are not!

"Their god is MAMMON, and they are unceasing in their god's 'praise and worship', though they are careful to conceal his true identity from the poor of the earth - i.e., the hapless victims the Machine routinely savages and plunders - lest the poor rise up en masse against them: Hence their subterfuge. But what an empty subterfuge it is: Attempting to pass Mammon off in the guise of a Person who EXPLICITLY condemned Mammon and juxtaposed Himself against him:

'No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye CANNOT serve God and mammon'. (Matt. 6:24)

"These are those Christians (so-called) about whom Jesus said:

'Ye HYPOCRITES, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

'This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

'... in vain they do worship me ...'" (Matt. 15:7-9)

THEY ARE FALSE PROPHETS

I went on to point out what these people really are; they're "DECEIVERS" - the false or pseudo-Christians about whom Jesus warned His disciples:

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" (Matthew 7:15-16)

In other words, if these people are chasing after money, no matter how much they pretend otherwise, they are none of Christ's. And IF, in the end, that's what the American New World Order System is all about (i.e., the acquisition of wealth), then one can be sure that NOTHING of God can come from it or from the pseudo-Christians who serve that system. NOTHING!

Come on now! - isn't that what Matthew 7:17 says: "A CORRUPT TREE CAN ONLY BRING FORTH EVIL FRUIT."

Plainly, that's what the Bible says! And it goes on to say that it is good for nothing except to be -

"... hewn down, and cast into the fire." (Matthew 7:19)

And the Lord goes on to say,

"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." (Matthew 7:20)

THEY ARE NONE OF GOD'S

Finally the Lord warns His followers:

"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.

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:21-23)

What the Bible is saying here is this: It isn't what a person says, but what he is that counts. Is one's life oriented towards the acquisition of wealth? Does one measure the success of his life by the "toys" he possesses - the  car he drives, the house he lives in, the career he possesses, the college he went to, etc? Are the friends one cultivates oriented towards money?

If so, he is NONE of God's, no matter how much he hides behind a front of "piety" and "saintliness," and even if he says that the wealth he has acquired is meant to be used solely for the purposes of God. That's what Rockefeller said; that's what the Stewart Brothers of Union Oil said when they helped R.A. Torrey establish the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (B.I.O.L.A.), while hunting down and killing Poncho Villa; that's what Carnegie said; that's what Henry Ford said while attacking and murdering union organizers at his plant in Dearborn, Michigan, ad nauseum, ad infinitum. Again, it isn't without reason that Balzak said,

"Behind every great fortune is a great crime!"

THEY SHUT UP THE KINGDOM
OF GOD TO THE POOR

This kind of Christianity produces Christians who measure their "Christianity" by the money they possess, who condemn as "failures" the poor for not having achieved their level of fiscal prosperity, and who feel no compassion when the poor "get what they deserve" by being stripped of their welfare checks and tossed out into the street; Christians who -

"... devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers." (Matt. 23:14),

These are the sort of pathetic Christians who act as the Machine's plenipotentiaries and emissaries and who in their effort to please the god of the Machine -

"... compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, they make him twofold more the child of hell than they are." (Matt. 23:15)

And in doing so, they -

"... SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AGAINST MEN ..." (Matt. 23:13)

Again, the Bible says, "Ye CANNOT serve God and mammon." What does that say, then, about Rick Warren, C. Peter Wagner, Tim LaHaye, Beverley LaHaye, Ern Baxter, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Chuck Colson, Robert Stearns, Mike Bickle, Reuven Doron, Che Ahn, Frank Hammond, Cindy Jacobs, Bill Hamon, John Eckhardt, Bobbie Byerly, Dutch Sheets, Jim Goll, John Paul Jackson, Francis Frangipane, James Ryle, Frank Damazio, Ed Silvoso, Carlos Annacondia, Claudio Freidzon, Roger Mitchell, Ted Haggard, Paul Cain, Chuck Pierce, Rick Joyner, Kingsley Fletcher, Jim Laffoon, Barbara Wentroble, ad infinitum, ad nauseum? All these people, in one way or another are in league with the American New World Order System.

THEY  HAVE A "FORM OF GODLINESS"

These men and women - these putrid, small-minded sycophants of the American New World Order System - have a "FORM OF GODLINESS" (2 Tim. 3:1-5), but not the substance thereof. Behind the mask of "piety" and "godly devotion" they show off to the world are souls twisted with the lust for "things." These groveling acolytes - these sniveling altar boys to the god of the Machine - are deceivers, all of them; cheats and connivers pretending to be Christians while they serve the god of Money: Fakes and frauds like Ted Haggard of the World Prayer Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado who - before he was found out cheating on his wife with another man - led countless numbers of his congregates each Sunday in "praise and worship" to his false god, and who taught the LIE that the Machine is -

"God's vehicle for the spread of Christianity."

What a shallow display of virtue! These people are beneath contempt! - nincompoops and dolts who routinely denounce "liberals" as relativists lacking moral firmness and using double standards while they side with a president who lies about the presence of "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq and stand aside while the American military bombs the hell out of the Iraqi people, sending thousands and thousands of them, mostly innocent men, women and little children, to their graves as "collateral damage" - a slaughter of innocents that far exceeds the number of killings attributable to the so-called "insurgents."

This continuing slaughter is what Pat Robertson has called -

 "... a movement in the heavenlies to break the power of deception so those people (the Iraqis) can be exposed to the gospel." [Please see our article, "A Woman Riding a Beast Going Forth Conquering and to Conquer."]

Is it little wonder, then, that these self-absorbed, egocentric Christians would feel no guilt or remorse when - in their name and the name of their God - American multinational corporations and the military which supports them plunder the poor of the earth in countries like Guatemala, Honduras, Thailand, the Philippines, the Ukraine, the former Yugoslavia, etc. for the benefit of the American New World Order System? What a "turn-off" this kind of Christianity is to unbelievers! [Please see our articles, "Algeria: A Study of the Dreadful Two-Tiered System the U.S. Is Promoting Among Its Muslim Client-States" and "The Congo and American Greed."]

Well did Jesus say of such Christians:

"Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" (Matt. 23:32-33)

THEY ARE TRAITORS TO THE FAITH

These people, these so-called Christians, these pitiable servants of the Machine are TRAITORS TO THE FAITH (2 Tim. 3:4) - all of them; all those who have allied themselves with the rich and powerful of this world; in other words, all those who have allied themselves with the Machine. But while they, indeed, may be "traitors to the faith," they are still men and women who possess the money and the wherewithal to put on a "display of godliness," a pretense of "Christianity" (so-called).

And make no mistake about it, money has the power to make one appear godly; it has the power to hide one's sin; to put on a "good show" with rapturous music in a venue filled with hundreds and thousands of the "beautiful people" of this world who in ecstatic but totally bogus displays of sanctity lift up "holy hands in worship to God" each Sunday in their coifed hair and their Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Liz Claiborne finery.

AND THIS, OF COURSE, IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF CHRISTIANITY THAT THE "PROPHETS AND PRIESTS" OF THE MACHINE ARE SEEKING TO EXPORT AROUND THE WORLD TO JUSTIFY THE MACHINE IN ITS AVARICE AND GREED; the kind of Christianity that puts the poor off insofar as the Gospel is concerned.

This is exactly the kind of Christianity (so-called) that the "lackey elites" in America's "client-states" are adopting in order to ingratiate themselves with the leaders of the "American system." What a sham this kind of Christianity is. It's the same kind of sham Christianity that the leaders of Guatemala and El Salvador adopted in order to ingratiate themselves with Dimitri Negroponte during the Contra Wars in Central America in the 1980s. [Please see our article, "The Horror of John Dimitri Negroponte and Everything He Represents."]
