Real Conspiracies -- Past and Present

Part 2: Treason in the Church - Trading Truth for a "Social Gospel"
Part 3: Transforming the World by Subverting the Church
President Woodrow Wilson, 1913: "Some of the biggest men in the U. S., in the
field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of
something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so
subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had
better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."[1]
President Franklin Roosevelt, 1933: "The real truth of the matter is, as you and I
know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government
ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."[2]
Real conspiracies -- in contrast to mere "conspiracy theories" -- have spawned fear,
murder, lies, and revolution throughout history. Driven by greed, envy, or utopian visions, they
reflected the darkness of human nature. No nation or empire has been immune to such intrigue.
Betrayal, murder, and convenient wars stain the records of ancient Israel and Judah as well as
the history of mighty empires like Assyria, Babylon, Persia, China, Greece, and Rome.[3] The
nations of Renaissance Europe -- always competing for dominion and commercial markets -were torn by the same human impulses.
More recent conspirators such as Lenin, Stalin, and Mao bound their masses to inflexible
Communist standards that banned the Bible, condemned resisters, and rewarded public torture
and murder. Such cruelty would intimidate the masses into compliance. Hidden behind their
atrocities were Western supporters -- including the financial establishments of J. P. Morgan,
Carnegie and the Rockefellers -- which funded revolutionaries and fueled the global vision of
totalitarian control.[4]
Few did more to expose this global agenda back in the 19th century than Carroll Quigley, an
influential former history professor at the Foreign Service Schools of Georgetown University.
You may remember him as Bill Clinton's mentor, honored by his presidential pupil at the 1992
Democratic Convention. Ponder this revelation from his 1300-page report, Tragedy and Hope:
A History of the World in Our Time:
"There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile
network which operates, to some extent in the way the radical Right believes the
Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table
Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other
groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I
have studied it for twenty years, and was permitted for two years, in the early
1960s, to examine its papers and secret records.... [I]n general my chief difference
of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown...."[5]

Quigley's next page describes the birth of The Council of Foreign Relations (CFR). A driving
force behind today's global transformation, CFR insiders have helped steer the course of the
current shift from U.S. sovereignty to a regional union under the UN (like the European Union)
with open borders between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. He writes,
"At the end of the war of 1914 [World War 1], it became clear that the organization
of this [secret] system had to be greatly extended... the task was entrusted to Lionel
Curtis who established, in England and each dominion, a frontorganization to the
existing local Round Table Group. This front organization, called the Royal Institute
of International Affairs, had as its nucleus in each area the existing submerged
Round Table Group. In New York it was known as the Council on Foreign Relations
, and was a front for J. P. Morgan and Company.... In fact, the original plans for the
Royal Institute of International Affairs and The Council of Foreign Relations were
drawn up at Paris [Peace Conference of 1919]."[6]
In other words, this conspiracy was international from the start. And, beginning with the British
diamond magnate, Cecil Rhodes, it was grounded in enormous wealth -- riches acquired
through capitalism, not through the global socialism it envisions for all but the elite. The key
players were power-driven bankers, rich corporations, and tax-free foundations that controlled
the resources needed to buy the cooperation of publishers, media moguls, educational
institutions, and government leaders across the political spectrum.
According to the book Brotherhood of Darkness by Dr. Stanley Monteith, "J. P. Morgan and his
associates financed the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, conservative groups, liberal
organizations, communist groups and anti-communist organizations."[7] Political affiliations
didn't matter all that much to the elite internationalists who considered themselves above
political and national borders. As Quigley told us, the two main political parties became
essentially the same to them:
"The chief problem of American political life...has been how to make the two
Congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two
parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right
and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and
academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the
American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any
profound or extensive shifts in policy."[8]
Both parties used the media to build the perception of opposing positions on key issues, while
all the while building consensus on issues that were critical to social change. That's verified in
the Congressional Record for 1917, which reported that "...the J.P. Morgan [banking]
interests.... and their subsidiary organizations got together 12 men high up in the newspaper
world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and
sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the US.... They
found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. ...an
editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information...."[9]
In the early 20th century, such media control was essential to building the needed public
support for U.S. participation in World War 1. As in the Soviet Union, such propaganda would
help prepare the masses for a global management system -- initially in the form of a League of
Nations.

"The powers of financial capitalism have another far reaching aim," continued Dr. Quigley,
"nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to
dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a
whole."[10]
In 1922, New York city Mayor John F. Hylan described the oppression spread by this
treasonous conspiracy:
"...the real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant
octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, State and nation. Like the octopus of real
life, it operates under cover of self-created screen. It seizes in its long and powerful
tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our
newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."[11]
Remember, those "powerful tentacles" would prop up organizations fighting to destroy
American freedom. "One of Professor Quigley's most shocking revelations," wrote Dr. Monteith,
"was the fact that the American Communist Party was partly financed by J. P. Morgan and
Company."Quigley continued:
"The chief evidence... can be found in the files of the HUAC (House of Un-American
Activities Committee) which show Tom Lamont [a senior partner in J.P. Morgan and
Company], his wife Flora, and his son Corliss as sponsors and financial angels to
almost a score of extreme Left organizations, including the Communist Party itself."
[12]
Did the name Lamont ring a bell? It should. This year's senatorial primary between two
Connecticut Democrats featured Edward "Ned" Lamont and Joe Lieberman. Lamont won,
which came as no surprise to media leaders well familiar with the Lamont legacy. For Ned's
great-grandfather was thebillionaire Thomas Lamont, chairman of J. P. Morgan.
Corliss Lamont, son of Thomas and Ned's grandfather, was trained for his role as conspirator
at Harvard, Oxford and Columbia University. His roommate during his studies at Oxford
University was the Fabian (global) Socialist, Julian Huxley, brother of Aldous and the first
Director-General of UNESCO. In his 1946 book, UNESCO: Its purpose and Its Philosophy,
Huxley exposed some of the psychosocial strategies that would conform the minds of the
masses to planned community. He suggested,
"...taking the techniques of persuasion and information and true propaganda that
we have learnt to apply nationally in war, and deliberately bending them to the
international tasks of peace, if necessary utilizing them -- as Lenin envisaged - to
'overcome the resistance of millions' to desirable change. The task before
UNESCO... is single. The task is to help the emergence of a single world culture....

"..at the moment, two opposing philosophies of life confront each other.... You may
categorize the two philosophies as two super-nationalisms, or as individualism
versus collectivism... or as capitalism versus communism, or as Christianity versus
Marxism. Can these opposites be reconciled, this antithesis be resolved in a higher

synthesis? I believe not only that this can happen, but that, through the inexorable
dialectic of evolution, it must happen...."[13]
At Columbia, Corliss studied under humanist professor, John Dewey [see Chronology of the
NEA]. He received his PhD in 1928. In his thesis he denied the existence of God and tried to
disprove both Biblical truth and the validity of hope in eternal life. If his goals sound similar to
Communist aims, remember that one aim of brainwashing was to eradicate all Christian hope of
eternal life, so that the hope of the masses would be focused on Communist ideology.

Consistent with his socialist philosophy, Corliss chaired the National Council of
American-Soviet Friendship, a spin-off from Friends of the Soviet Union. In 1946, he was
charged with contempt of Congress for refusing to yield the records of his Communist-leaning
organization to the House Un-American Activities Committee.[14]

Apparently Corliss Lamont was following his family legacy. According to Wall Street and the
Bolshevik Revolution by Antony C. Sutton,
"...there is evidence of transfers of funds from Wall Street bankers to international
revolutionary activities. For example, there is the statement (substantiated by a
cablegram) by William Boyce Thompson a director of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York, a large stockholder in the Rockefeller-controlled Chase Bank, and a
financial associate of the Guggenheims and the Morgans that he (Thompson)
contributed $1 million to the Bolshevik Revolution for propaganda purposes....

"Of all American business leaders, the one who most vigorously patronized the
cause of Fascism was Thomas W. Lamont. Head of the powerful J.P. Morgan
banking network, Lamont served as something of a business consultant for the
government of Fascist Italy. Lamont secured a$100 million loan for Mussolini in
1926 at a particularly crucial time for the Italian dictator. We might remember too
that the director of Guaranty Trust was the father of Corliss Lamont, a domestic
Communist." [15]
Like Julian Huxley, the Lamonts seem to have embraced a notion that is now becoming
increasingly acceptable to Republicans as well as Democrats: A merger of Communism and
Capitalism into a "Third Way" or Communitarianism. The latter is built on a partnership between
the public sector (government), private sector (business) and social sector (churches, charities,
community groups, etc.). In this convenient communitarian system, capitalism would encourage
commerce and wealth, but the state (regional or world government) would control everything!

It's happening already! The government (national, regional or world) now sets intrusive
standards and measures performance through continual assessments. Deviation from the
planned norms will require remediation. Such standards and assessments are being applied to
the beliefs and values of American children![16]

Do you wonder where our God fits into this conspiracy?

Remember, the biggest obstacle to Fascist, Communist or Communitarian triumph is Biblical
Christianity! Of course, today's politically correct, non-offensive, service-oriented "Christianity"
-- with its dialectic leadership training and postmodern view of God's Word -- fits right in.
But God's unchanging, uncompromising Word can never be squeezed into the mold of the
world. It doesn't fit the vision of pluralistic communitarianism. It clashes with the notion of global
solidarity. That's why Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler killed millions of faithful Christian
disciples. God's Word is simply too "offensive" and "divisive" to totalitarian rulers who demand
loyalty to their own ideals rather than to God. So the psalmist asks,
"Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves -- and the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
'Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us.'" Psalm
2:1-3
Part 2 will give an answer to that question. It will provide more evidence for today's global
conspiracy, show how Islamic terrorism helps the overall agenda, and take an encouraging
look at God's sovereignty. Remember, our God reigns -- no matter how dark the world!
"Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him!" Psalm 2:12

Treason in the Church: Trading Truth for a "Social Gospel"

Treason in the Church:

Trading Truth for a "Social Gospel"
Treason: "...the act or attempted act of working for the enemies of the state ... betrayal of trust;
disloyalty...." Webster Dictionary
"Some even believe we [the Rockefellers] are part of a secret cabal working
against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as
'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more
integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the
charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."[1] David Rockefeller's Memoirs
"Rockefeller... provided support to about 220 churches and missionary
organizations of his own denomination [Baptist] as well as to about 80
institutions of other denominations; to more than 160 social welfare and moral
reform organizations and institutions; and to more than 100 schools and universities
."[2] Rockefeller archives
Infiltration and deception have been tools of conspirators through the ages, and the Church has
been a primary target! After all, God warns us that "the whole world is under the sway of
the evil one." (1 John 5:19) One of his most effective schemes is to redefine God's Word and
divert Christians from His unchanging Truth to man's shifting wants and ideals.
For example, God calls us to serve the poor and fills our hearts with love for the needy. That's
why His true followers around the world have willingly given their lives to share His truth and
love in perilous places. But today's world-centered church illustrates a different kind of service.
Designed to please man rather than God, it trains its servers to hide the "offensive" truths of the
gospel.
Like Rick Warren, it uses the Bible to validate its purposes but emphasizes organizational
behavior rather than Biblical beliefs -- in short, deeds instead of creeds.[3] Behind its noble
appearance hides a postmodern version of the century-old "Christian Socialism."
The Social Gospel, Councils of Churches, and Fabian Socialism
Called "Father of the Social Gospel," Walter Rauschenbusch (1861-1918), grew up in a
German Lutheran immigrant family in New York. He studied theology at the University of
Rochester, one of hundreds of educational and "Christian" institutions funded by John D.
Rockefeller. After pastoring a Baptist Church among poor immigrants in New York City for a
few years, he joined the faculty at Rochester Theological Seminary -- also funded by
Rockefeller. In 1902 he became its Professor of Church History.

this prominent platform, he wrote books such as "Christianizing the SocialMay

Order
" and
"A

http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/006/conspiracy2.htm

From this prominent platform, he wrote books such as "Christianizing the Social Order" and "A
Theology for the Social Gospel."[4] Steeped in "higher criticism" and socialist ideology, he
taught what many considered a more relevant and compassionate gospel. As a result, he
"changed both the emphases and the direction of American Protestantism."[5]
Rauschenbusch introduced Jesus "not as one who would come to save sinners from their sins
but as one who had a 'social passion' for society."[6] He and his comrades established the
"Brotherhood of the Kingdom," which unified like-minded church leaders under a common
socialist quest for an earthly "Kingdom of God."
Their plan would have fit our times! It called for political reform, ecumenical unity, "Social
Justice" and global peace. To justify its place in "Christian" theology, words like redemption and
regeneration were redefined to fit their socialist ideals.[7]
Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Popular church leaders use the same strategy today! Pastor Brian
McLaren's recent book, The Secret Message of Jesus, twists God's Word into an endorsement
of an earthly, interfaith Kingdom.[8] Likewise, Tony Campolo's hope of earthly perfection mocks
the Biblical promise of eternal life:
"The gospel is not about... pie-in-the-sky when they die.... It is imperative that the up
and coming generation recognize that the biblical Jesus was committed to the
realization of a new social order in this world.... Becoming a Christian, therefore,
is a call to social action."[9]
In 1907, Rauschenbusch met with the leaders of Fabian socialism in England, Sidney Webb
and Beatrice Potter Webb. Unlike impatient Marxist revolutionaries, the methodical Fabians
emphasized peaceful transformation through propaganda and infiltration of universities,
seminaries and churches.
Through the years, this socialist movement grew to include Bertrand Russell, H. G. Wells (who
wrote Open Conspiracy), playwright George Bernard Shaw, Sinclair Lewis, Theosophical
leader Annie Besant, and the Communist leader Harry Dexter White who worked with Alger
Hiss to establish the United Nations.[10] It spread through Western nations -- thanks, in part, to
liberal churches that preached its message as if backed by the authority of God.
As you saw in Part 1, the Rockefellers and other powerful "change agents" fueled this
movement. Their funding would sway universities, seminaries, and churches from
coast to coast -- including the prominent Riverside Church in Manhattan.[11] Built by 1930 as
a useful pulpit for the liberal teachings of pastor Harry Emerson Fosdick, it helped turn
countless students from the nearby Union Theological Seminary into ardent promoters of the
socialist agenda. According to Leonard Sweet, Fosdick viewed the Fabian Rauschenbusch as
his hero.[12]
The Rockefeller Foundation, led by Fosdick's brother Raymond for three decades, [11]
supported psycho-social research through Hitler's eugenics program, through London's
Tavistock Institute, and through various American Universities and institutions. This new
"science" would raise propaganda, persuasion, and mind control to ever more sophisticated
levels.
With Rockefeller support, Rauschenbusch and his Fabian protg Rev. Harry Ward helped
Page 2 of 6establish

the Federal Council of Churches (FCC) in 1908.[13]Rev. Ward, through

May 07, his

http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/006/conspiracy2.htm

establish the Federal Council of Churches (FCC) in 1908.[13]Rev. Ward, through his Soviet
connections and influential positions, would become the main source of Communist infiltration
into the FCC (later renamed NCC, National Council of Churches),Christian seminaries, and
compassionate unsuspecting pastors and congregations across the country. Hard to believe?
Then look at the evidence below.
Communist Infiltration
The following testimonies were given under oath before the Committee on Un-American
Activities of the U.S. House of Representatives, 83rd Congress, in July, 1953.[14] Robert
Kunzig, chief counsel for the committee, asked the questions. Manning Johnson, formerly a top
member of the Communist Party, answered this particular set of questions.
Page 2266, Congressional Record.
KUNZIG: "...the name Harry Ward has appeared in so many of these various
organizations and groups. It seems as if there is almost an interlacing tie-up...
through various sects and denominations. Have you any comment to make on this
situation?
JOHNSON: "Yes, I have. Dr. Harry F. Ward, for many years, has been the chief
architect for Communist infiltration and subversion in the religious field.
According to this Congressional Report, Harry Ward also taught "Christian ethics" at Union
Theological Seminary [funded by the Rockefellers], presided over the Federal Council of
Churches, chaired the American Civil Liberties Union, and worked with the Y.M.C.A.,
Y.W.C.A. and the Interchurch World Movement.[15]
Page 2170.
JOHNSON: "I would first like to read to you what William Z. Foster[General
Secretary of the Communist Party USA] has to say on this matter."
'Communists must ever be keen to cultivate the democratic spirit of
mutual tolerance among the religious sects.... A still greater lesson for
us to learn, however, is how to work freely with religious strata for
the accomplishment of democratic mass objectives....
'A very serious mistake of the American left wing during many years...
has been its attempt arbitrarily to wave aside religious sentiments
among the masses. Reactionary forces [mainly concerned Christians]
have already known how to take advantage of this shortsighted
sectarian error.... 'In recent years, however, the Communist Party, with
its policy of the outstretched hand, has done much to overcome the
harmful left-wing narrowness of former years and to develop a more
healthy cooperation with the religious masses....'
KUNZIG: "Was deceit a major policy of Communist propaganda and activity?"
Mr. JOHNSON: "Yes, it was. They made fine gestures and honeyed words to the

church people which could be well likened unto the song of the fabled sea nymphs
luring millions to moral decay, spiritual death, and spiritual slavery....."
Pages 2201 and 2202.
JOHNSON: "The Methodist Federation for Social Service or the Methodist
Federation for Social Action, headed by the Rev. Harry F. Ward, whom I have
already identified as a Party member, was invaluable to the Communist Party...
because through it the Party was able to get contacts with thousands of ministers
all over the country.
"...quite a few ministers, for example, participated in the united front known as the
American League Against War and Fascism.... In fact, they were so deeply involved
through Harry F. Ward that they became the spokesmen -- the advocates, the
builders, and the leaders of this most important Communist front that engaged in
everything from simple assault on a government to espionage, sabotage and the
overthrow of the Government...."
Page 2228.Part of Manning Johnson's testimony was an article in the Daily Worker (5-7-53).
This "Exhibit No. 21" reports on a dinner held in Dr. Ward's honor. Notice the name of Corliss
Lamont who was introduced in Part 1 of this series:
"...New World Review, a progressive monthly devoted to circulating the truth about
the Socialist and Peoples Democracies abroad... brought out several hundred
friends and former students of Dr. Ward, and some of those who knew him well,
like... Corliss Lamont [the communist son of Thomas Lamont, the head of the J. P.
Morgan banking conglomerate]... told the others of how Dr. Wards teachings
enriched them personally and how his tremendous work for brotherhood, peace,
and justice has influenced the nation."
Page 2278.
KUNZIG: "...could you give us a summary of the overall manner in which the
Communists have attempted to infiltrate and poison the religious organizations of
America wherever possible?"
JOHNSON: "Once the tactic of infiltrating religious organizations was set by the
Kremlin, the actual mechanics of implementing the 'new line' was a question of
following the... church movement in Russia, where the Communists discovered that
the destruction of religion could proceed much faster through infiltration of the
church by Communist agents operating within the church itself.
"...the infiltration tactic in this country would have to adapt itself to American
conditions.... In the earliest stages it was determined that with only small forces
available it would be necessary to concentrate Communist agents in the seminaries
and divinity schools. The practical conclusion drawn by the Red leaders was that
these institutions would make it possible for a small Communist minority to
influence the ideology of future clergymen....

Page 4 of 6

"...the idea was to divert the emphasis of clerical thinking from the spiritual to the
material.... Instead of emphasis towards the spiritual and matters of the soul, the
new and heavy emphasis was to deal with those matters which, in the main,
Mayled

material.... Instead of emphasis

towards the spiritual and matters of the soul, the

new and heavy emphasis was to deal with those matters which, in the main, led
toward the Communist program of immediate demands [or "felt needs"]....

Does the last point sound familiar? It should to those who are concerned about the worldwide
Purpose-Driven movement. For Rick Warren prompted that same shift from "the spiritual" to
"the material." As he told thousands of pastors around the world through his "Ministry Toolbox"
(link is now broken) the focus of his ministry has shifted from faith in God's Word to service to
the world:
"The first Reformation clarified what we believe. This reformation is all about how
we act and operate in the world. It involves the key components of purpose,
decentralization, lay mobilization, use of technology, and continuous learning.
Churches that change are thriving and growing more effective. Churches that refuse
to change will miss the reformation, and are dying."[16]
Not true! God's uncompromising and eternal Church can never die! As Jesus, the head
of His Church, told His disciples before His crucifixion, "My kingdom is not of this world." Nor
are His followers "of the world!" Yet, He sends us "into the world" so that we, "speaking the
truth in love,"[17] may demonstrate His truth and love (not man's pragmatic ideals) to all who
will hear.
"I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they
are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.... Sanctify them by Your
truth. Your word is truth." John 17:14,17

Conspiracies -- Part 3: Transforming the World by Subverting the Church crossroad.to

"...we have seen how Dr. Walter Rauschenbusch... and the leaders of the
social-action movements in the churches decided to do away with Christian
individualism and turn to outright collectivism, using the church as their
instrument.... Religion was only a means toward achieving socialism. And,
like all other false prophets who have infiltrated religion through he centuries, [
Rauschenbusch] used a 'front' or disguise. This disguise, as we have seen, was
'The Kingdom of God.' The Kingdom was not pictured as a spiritual society into
which men and women had to be born as individuals through a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior, but as a collectivist society which would
be brought about by... eradication of poverty, redistribution of wealth... and
'economic justice.'"[1] Edgar Bundy, Collectivism in the Churches.

"Rockefeller promoted universal ecumenism by stating in December 1917... 'I see

all denominational emphasis set aside....I see the church molding the thought
of the world... I see it literally establishing the Kingdom of God on earth."[2]
Dr. James W. Wardner, Unholy Alliances: The Secret Plan and the Secret People
who are Working to Destroy America.
Conspiracies have battered the Church for 2000 years -- just as God warned us. Ever since
Jesus walked the narrow streets of Jerusalem, spiritual battles have challenged Christians to
stand firm on His Word and resist the wide ways of the world. Today the battles rage as fiercely
as ever.
The Social Gospel of the early 20th century shifted the focus of many church leaders from
God's unchanging Word to the world's pliable illusions. Socialist seminary professors,
pragmatic pastors, and deluded idealists validated their visions with hand-picked Bible verses
that "fit" their social message. "Offensive" words like sin and redemption were redefined,
contextualized or ignored. No need for the cross, since all people were considered essentially
good.
Naturally, as socialist ideals tore away at the old Biblical barriers to spiritual pluralism, the
change process accelerated. Even "conservative" pastors -- like their purpose-driven guides -began to view Christianity primarily as good "deeds, not creeds."[3]
Transformational tactics
In Part 2, we documented these early strategies, patterned after the Kremlin's plan for the
Soviet "church."
Infiltrate church institutions.
Adapt the Communist social campaign to America's unique beliefs, wants, and values
.
Concentrate on seminaries where each new convert learns to influence thousands.

Concentrate on seminaries

where each new convert learns to influence thousands.

Divert the heart and purposes of the Church from the spiritual to the material.
Demonstrate tolerance toward beliefs and values that clash with God's Words.
"Its not just tolerance, its to go beyond tolerance, to principle pluralism, which... means no
religion has a privileged place," said Richard Cizik, who represented the National
Association of Evangelicals (NAE) at the prestigious 2006 Clinton Global Initiative conference.
"I would say one step even further, which is to say partnership.... The fundamentalists have a
pessimistic view of the future and they have this perception, unlike evangelicals and liberal
Christians, that theres an unbridgeable divide between the believer and the unbeliever.... We
dont believe that."[4]
Of course they don't. God's Word clashes with the world's vision of pluralism! That's why Jesus
said, "If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the
world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you....If they persecuted Me
they will persecute you... for they do not know the One who sent Me." John 15:19-20
The world readily accepts Christian love, charity, and willingness to serve the needy. It just
can't accept the source of that love. It wants the fruit of God's Spirit but transplants its roots into
the soil of humanism. To succeed in this assault, it fine-tunes the following strategies:
1. Infiltration, then mass conversion to a counterfeit system. In Part 2, we looked at some
revealing testimonies given by former Communist leader Manning Johnson before the
Committee on Un-American Activities of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1953. Here are a
few more:
"The plan was to make the seminaries the neck of a funnel through which
thousands of potential clergymen would issue forth, carrying with them, in varying
degrees, an ideology and slant which would aid in neutralizing the anti-Communist
character of the church and also to use the clergy to spearhead important
Communist projects....
"This policy was successful beyond even Communist expectations. The
combination of Communist clergymen, clergymen with a pro-Communist ideology,
plus thousands of clergymen who were sold the principle of considering Communist
causes as progressive... furnished the Soviet apparatus with a machine which was
used as a religious cover for the overall Communist operation."[5]
Of course, they wouldn't call it Communism. Words like compassion and world service felt far
better.
2. Communitarian partnerships
Today, more than a decade after the supposed "death of Communism," a more pleasing
version is rising like the mythical phoenix out of its own ashes. It's new label?
Communitarianism! Like the old system, this upgraded version would control the masses
through universal surveillance, personal data files, and a hierarchy of groups or councils
(originally called soviets). It's already being marketed to the public as decentralized leadership,
sustainable development, supportive networks, and voluntary service.

Does it sound confusing? Here is a simple formula: Communitarian systems are based on
networks of "partnerships" between the public sector (government), private sector (business)
and social sector (civil society, including churches). In other words, social sector "volunteers"
would serve the government (ultimately the UN agenda) providing most of the "social services"
needed for the global welfare state.
The catch? The private and the social sectors must conform to the standards (personal,
performance, development, etc.) determined by the public sector (the government). Instead of
owning everything, it would just control everything. Its standards already include "mental health
," which involve pluralistic guidelines for religion and values." So within this "compassionate"
and "tolerant" socialist system, Christians would no longer be free to serve God as He leads.
And this is just the beginning!
As mass movements such as Rick Warren's Purpose-Driven PEACE Plan enter into
partnerships with the United Nations, White House, CFR and other governmental and policy
making institutions, they are pressed into an ever-changing consensus pattern.[6] To continue
their determined march toward "success" (based on unconditional relationships and
measurable results) they bind themselves to the evolving regulation of the global management
system.
Purpose-Driven and Church Growth movements -- as well as the secular transformational
networks driven by Peter Senge and Peter Drucker -- emphasize relational vitality and
collective thinking. As Manning Johnson testified, group thinking and interdependent
relationships are powerful weapons against individual resisters and a Bible-trained conscience:
"The Communists have an advantage in religious organizations due to the fact that
their forces within religious groups are well organized as a totalitarian group. This
gives this destructive element a great tactical advantage over all others in the
religious organizations who deal with religion as individuals, operating ethics on the
basis of an individual conscience before God...."
"Communist strategists counted the effectiveness of their forces not so much on
numbers alone, but on the importance of individuals loyal to communism in key
spots where a small group can influence large numbers.... Thus, one professor of
divinity, lecturing to future clergymen, who in turn will preach to thousands of
churchgoers, is, in the long run, more dangerous than 20 Red preachers, singing
the praises of communism from the pulpit....
"...if an infiltrated body has 1 per cent Communist Party members and 9 per cent
Communist Party sympathizers, with well-rehearsed plans of action, they can
effectively control the remaining 90 per cent who act and think on an individual
basis. In the large sections of the religious field, due to the ideological poison which
has been filtered in by Communists and pro-Communists through seminaries, the
backlog of sympathizers and mental prisoners of Socialistic ideology is greater than
the 10 percent necessary for effective control."[7]
4. Small groups and the dialectic process
To "control the remaining 90 per cent" who act and think on an individual basis, former
Communist leaders assigned all their subjects -- workers, managers, prisoners and students -Page 3 of 5to

to local "soviets" (groups or councils) where they were trained in Georg Hegel's dialectic
process. They had to
"Share" thoughts and notions. [Now cheered as "authenticity"]
"Confess" contrary attitudes. [Brainwashing and "Education Reform"]
Write "self-criticisms" for group evaluation. [When Iron Gates Yield]
"Celebrate" Communist ideals and heroes
"Commit" themselves to follow the group consensus.
Practice what the group (led by the facilitator) decides. [PRAXIS]
This dialectic process is now the centerpiece of the world's management systems. Designed to
conform all minds to a common vision and mission (purpose), it calls for ground rules that ban
divisive truths but demand tolerance for the world's corrupt values. [8]
This process was described in our article "Small Groups and the Dialectic Process," which
summarizes the strategies taught in Leading Congregational Change (LCC). "This is a book
you ought to read before you change anything," wrote Rick Warren in his hearty endorsement
on the back cover.[9]
The LCC shows us that the dialectic group doesn't operate in a vacuum. It's part of a system
that controls the planned transformation with vision-casting, team-building, top-down standards
, force field analysis, capacity building, and service learning. To persuade church members to
go along with the transformation, leaders must continually create tension through crisis, thus
arouse dissatisfaction. Forget God's call to "be content" in Him. That doesn't fit the plan for
continual change through unceasing agitation.
This unbiblical programfollows the same Total Quality Management model embraced by
governments, corporations, education systems, the United Nations and other organizations
around the world. Do you wonder where the Holy Spirit fits into this scheme?
Written by James H. Furr, Mike Bonem, and Jim Herrington, the LCC was published by
Jossey-Bass, which works closely with the Peter Drucker Foundation (renamed Leader to
Leader). "We thank Rick Warren," it tells us, "for the opportunity to reach and refine our
understanding of congregational transformation as part of Saddleback Valley Church's
Purpose-Driven Church Conference. ... We also saw many applications in Peter Senge's The
Fifth Discipline...."[10]
When assigned to a group, members are encouraged to eat together, play together, serve the
community together, and do short-terms mission trips together. There's nothing wrong with
Christian togetherness. But in this context -- created by trained facilitator/leaders -- every event
becomes a practice session (praxis) in group dialogue and"Repressive Tolerance." The latter
refers to "intolerance against movements from the right, and toleration of movements from the
left." [See "Cultural Marxism" and "Three kinds of group relationships."][11]

Well aware of the struggles and temptations His people would face, God gave us Scriptures
that both warn and equip us. Here are three worth remembering:
"As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and
built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it
with thanksgiving.Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and
empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles
of the world, and not according to Christ." Colossians 2:6-9
"And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into
ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works." 2
Corinthians 11:13-15
But "thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable...." 1 Corinthians 15:56
