THE
TRUTH HOUR: AMERICAS HATE THE TRUTH AND EMBRACE THE LIE!
Subject: Newsletter_29_Non_Christian
Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2001
From: "Samuel Ewing"
Hello,
I've communicated before. I'm a non-Christian for so many reasons that
I wouldn't burden you with listing them. I really don't care that someone
took a passage from the Bible and used it for whatever purpose. I don't
think or feel that that is where the concern really should be. I read
someone's opinion on your website who was from another country concerning
the United States' activities abroad. The documentation they presented
was irrefutable concerning this countries activities in other countries.
I agree with that opinion.
This country's government
has and is participating in all sorts of foul and disgusting acts of violence
against other people. I was a Marine Security Guard at two embassies during
the Iranian Crisis:
a. I was acutely aware
that a butcher like the Shah of Iran was supported by the U.S.and when
his usefulness was over it allowed another extremist like Khomeini to
come to power.
b. I was aware that
the U.S. vetoed sanctions against South Africa for its horrific treatment
enslavement and slaughter of Africans so that it could obtain the rare
metals it needed from African soil to operate its fighter planes.
c. I was aware that
the U.S. HAD BROKEN A TREATY with Argentina concerning the Falklands in
favor of supporting Britain's claim of the Falklands. How much more obviously
imperialistic can a nation get? The Falkland Islands are practically right
next to Argentina; Britain on the other side of the globe. How does it
have a right to the islands.
d. I was aware that
every time women want men to buy them expensive gems, including diamonds;
African men and even children are killed or maimed in large numbers to
get the righteous Americans these nice glittery things. South Africa is
one among such exploited African countries where this takes place.
e. I'm aware that
Israel and White South Africa ( called Saud Afrika) as well as the United
States have been in bed with each other in exploiting Africa (Eurocentric
Imperialist Colonialism is alive and well), various tropical islands such
as Port Louis Mauritius. I was stationed on that island, observing that
the arrogant Nazi-like Afrikaner ran the island politically and economically.
The U.S government, U.S. business men, Afrikaners ( British, Norwegian,
Dutch, French, German,and Israel), and friends keep the majority of the
population in horrible poverty. A middle class person on this island was
someone who made $100.00 a month. Arikaners will tell you that they have
dual and triple citizenship so if things go bad for them in the country
where they are oppressing people they can always flee to the U.S. or go
back to Europe.
f. I saw how teenage
and young adult Afrikaners spent their days playing games on the beach,
drinking, sexual escapades, and dancing themselves into oblivion, receiving
cars and other expensive indulgences from their wealthy parents, they
don't go to school because they don't have to, and they have no ambition
to achieve anything. They told me they don't have to work or study because
mommy and daddy were rich, they would inherit the business and wealth;
and the cycle of Eurocentric arrogance would continue. The new nobility
and decadent bourgeise. I observed how powerful Christian church organizations,
the Catholic church, various ambassadors, and Western governments work
together to keep people subjugated and poor; while they profit by it.
I observed how this same elite even exploits attractive women of the poor
minorities for their sexual escapades. As a military person I observed
that the military is little more than "muscle" for the U.S. and Europe.I
unfortunately met the daughter of the British ambassador on my first day
on Mauritius and she was introduced to me. Her greeting to me was to call
me a "Nigger." "I can't believe you let niggers live with you and wear
the same uniform!!" As I said I was a Marine Security Guard for the U.S.
government. Of course that was normal. The French spat on me and dared
me to fight them. I offered to cause them great pain and they cowered
in fear like the moral degenerates they were. Quite a few Afrikaners are
former Rhodesian mercenaries and descendants of Nazis. Yes the old guard
of the Nazi Party is wealthy and going strong under various guises. The
U.S. government knows this. Their in bed with them. It's not a secret
except to the weak, stupid, ignorant American citizen. I say the majority
in the U.S. WHO HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THIS RACIST OPPRESSON really don't
give a screaming eagle. After all why should they care about changing
a system that has benefitted them as well?
h. It is quite clear
to me that Western Civilization is always working to rule this planet
by hook or by crook, more likely the latter= military, political, and
cultural conquest. Notice I'm not mentioning Osama Bin Laden because if
this country had not been in bed with him militarily and business wise,
like a whore who knows if things would have been better. Furthermore,
this country is in business with SAUDI ARABIA, who has supported Bin Laden
- while at the same time rebuking him - while at the same time acting
reluctant to support this country etc. etc. etc. U.S.A, DON'T CHANGE NOW!
BE CONSISTENT AS A WHORE. In this country there is an expression used
to describe American culture by certain individuals in the African American
community. I think it is quite appropriate: "The United Snakes Of America."
i. *As a person who
isn't Christian I don't care about the issue of whether a deity is going
to destroy this country. What everyone should care about is their contribution
to the destruction of this country by not holding the elite responsible
for the havoc they commit in other countries. I'm not buying that Americans
didn't know how hated they are, or their too busy to know or care about
the suffering that is going on on the majority of this planet moment by
moment. No excuse can be acceptable. Perhaps now this country is getting
an inkling that it is not as Heroic, Ethical, and Noble as it deludes
itself into believing; if that is a god at work; I say great! This country
is in need of a TRUTH HOUR TODAY! RIGHT NOW! America is not the Chosen
People of any god that it should have carte-blanche to bring suffering
and pain to the weak and poor within its borders or abroad.
j. I'm aware that
because this country has and does support war criminals like Saddam Hussein
the leaders of the Middle East in the oppressed areas see no need to lift
their citizens out of ignorance and poverty. Its easier to indoctrinate
people into being terrorist when they are hungry, angry, afraid to rebel
against their leaders and needing someone to vent against. And because
they know this country only by what it sees on the few tvs they have should
it be surprising that they would resent the affluence and self-indulgence
of America? I 'm totally against what happened in New York. It was evil,
however the American people need to get their heads out their assets and
look at how this country has contributed to its own situations. Lives
were needlessly lost in New York because of the usual power-brokering
that goes on too often. As usual there will be memorials, congratulations
for defeating the enemy, reaffirmations of the American Way (we all know
that truth and justice are not part of this), certain people will be trying
to get re-elected if this turns out well, like in previous wars in the
last 30 years it will just begin to dawn on them that while they were
distracted by the war the economy is gone down to ruin, instead of "Praise
Jesus, we're going to war!", it will be "Praise Jesus! We whipped them!
We showed them!", the American people will be stuck with the bill, the
majority will go back to "whipping" on those citizens who are not "on
their level" as usual, and blissful ignorance and American self-glorification
will reign once again. America the Deus & Dea Ex Machina is still in charge.
The MORAL IMPERATIVE
LIKE TRUTH AND JUSTICE WILL BE SENT KICKING AND SCREAMING OUT SIGHT OUT
OF MIND. HAIL CAESAR! HAIL THE AMERICAN WAY! AMERICAN IMPERATOR-IMPERATRIX
SUPREME! SON AND DAUGHTER OF GOD! DOMINUS! HAIL VICTORY AND AMERICA IMPERIOUS
REX! HAIL CAESAR! HAIL THE EMPIRE, GLORIOUS VICTORY!

P.S. OH! By the way,
not only is harming people physically a form of violence (terrorism);
but lying, deceiving, keeping people in ignorance and poverty, racism,
imperialism, treachery, trickery and exploitation are forms of violence
too! Lest we all forget.
Response:
You are right America is not the chosen people of some diety. I would
say all people are. God loves all the world -even America, including you
and such a defective person as I. In terms of America, be thankful that
this is a country where your anti-American words can be published. America
is not perfect, but it has great freedoms that well worth defending. -David
SEPT
11 -AN ACT OF JUDGEMENT
Subject: Newsletter_29_God_Is_Judging
Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2001
From: "John Pavelko"
I have never, ever
considered myself in the same camp with Falwell yet I agree that Sept
11 was indeed an act of judgment. In your shock over this possibility
how do you avoid the implications of Habbakkuk, or even John the Baptist
message that a winnowing fork is in his hand? To limit either just to
the historical nation of Israel distorts Paul's image of the Church as
the New Israel.
The question that
is than raised why? To answer the question I look to the symbols of the
buildings struck. The WTC represents Western materialism and the Pentagon,
military power. America and even, or should I say especially the Church
relies on both more than it relies on its God. Why did God act in judgment
upon America, for its idolatry.
If you remain uncomfortable
with this idea, then you must answer why wouldn't God judge America. In
your shock over the possibility you fail to provide an rebuttal.
Before I end, however,
let me say that I am not apart of the pre-trib, pre-mil camp that seems
to revel in the coming judgment upon America because they believe that
they will escape in the nick of time. We are very close to an economic,
political and environmental catastrophe and I am not looking forward to
having to maintain a witness of hope amongst the chaos. Yet, I do know
that it is during such times that people do come to faith and the Church
becomes stronger as it passes through the refiner's fire.

Response:
Thanks John for your thoughts. America is strong, and I do not believe
that it is "very close to an economic, political and environmental
catastrophe." Please read your words again one year from now. This
is a passing event, like so many others that happen from time to time
since the beginning of history. The American idea of freedom is having
a world wide impact. I am sorry that you feel America needs a God that
would kill thousands of everyday innocent people to because of "idolatry"
on the part of other Americans. What kind of God is that? And how is it
that you have such insight into God that you know that the WTC 9-11 terrorist
attack is God's judgment for "idolatry." Did God speak this
to you? Did God write this on your bedroom wall? To me it is dangerous
to speak for God in the way you are. I would rather focus on "even
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no
evil, because you are with me." -David
DISAGREE
Subject: Newsletter_29 Revising John 3:16
Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2001
From: TOM Peck
Dear Bruce,
I am not going to "cancel" my subscription to your newsletter, but I am
going to disagree with you on a number of items.
First, as Christians,
we are called to "think Biblically". This means developing a systematic
theology and not just a devotional one. Christ came both to save and condemn
the world and to focus on only one and not the other is like walking on
only one leg.
I agree that Mr. Falwell's
and Mr. Robertson's comments were poorly timed but, Scripturally, they
have some (note I said some) validity. God is the one who judges and has
the sovereign to do as He Wills. God allows "bad things" for any number
of reasons: to punish, to cleanse, to purify, to build character, to bring
about repentance, to bring focus to Him. In many ways the events of 9-11
have done all that to the American Psyche.
But the true gist
of your article was an argument that we should be more loving to others.
This is a fact. Being "unloving" is part of our sin nature. I found it
most disconcerting that you chose to obliterate the names of those you
found whose actions were distasteful (Falafel, Doubloons) while calling
on us to be more respectful. This is something you should think about.
The other aspect that concerned me is this idea that criticism is tantamount
to intolerance. No where, from what I have read, has Mr. Falwell or Mr.
Robertson indicated that God now "hates" America, yet because they criticize
the culture for turning from God, this implies hate?
As a parent sometimes
I have to discipline my children. It might be a grounding, a time out,
a spanking, a fine, or simply saying "no". Does this mean I "hate" my
children because I punish? Of course not, so why would we not give God
the same lea way.
As a Christian, we
know that it is not deeds or actions that bring salvation, but instead
this is a work of God. Do not get caught up in the world's idea that good
men cannot do bad or that bad men cannot do good. God defines goodness,
not us.
Major Guliani wept
for the police and firemen who died that terrible day but supports the
murder of children in the womb. How many people in the Trade Center were
cheating on their spouse, stealing money from their companies, back-stabbing
co-workers, yet to others were dedicated employees, loving spouses, little
league coaches, church members.
There is some great
need in the Fundamental Evangelicals to pretend to be prophets and that
is why they often put their collective feet in their mouth with outrageous
and albeit stupid remarks. Fundamentals, by the way, believe in the inerrancy
of Scripture (not necessarily a translation of the same) and that the
principals set forth in the Bible are absolute Truths. The problem we
run into is that too many of my Fundamental brothers mix culture with
Scripture (I always ask them why they wear ties to church, shouldn't they
be wearing togas?)
God set out rules
for our conduct as a way to show our love for Him. He told us to take
off the view of the world and put on the eyes of God, which He showed
through the Bible. He requires us to be honest, to love others, to live
lives of good repute and to encourage and promote concepts like justice
and good. We are to love others more than ourselves, be understanding,
but be firm for Him.
We must also balance
the fact that without Christ, people go to hell, a message most non-believers
really don't want to hear (too negative), but it is one that must be heard.
It is not about death but eternal separation.
The problem is how
much do we water that concept down in our attempt to be tolerent of others
and not wanting to "offend" others. I say yes, we should love others,
but we do need to find opportunities to tell them, even if it is something
they do not want to hear.
Speaking of kids,
if one of them were running into the street and a truck was approaching
would I hesitate to tell them not to do that because they might get uncomfortable
or be mad at me or take offense with me? Their feelings about me would
not be important because their life is at stake. This is true with every
non-believer.
Hope you don't unsubscribe
me.
May our Lord continue to Bless your ministry.
In Him, Tom Peck
