The United Holographic States of America ~ By Paul McGuire

The agenda behind all this was to condition people for the acceptance of a Socialist World State, a world government and a one world economic system. As we look all around us we see the final phases of this agenda taking place as the wealth of the American middle class is being drained. Our freedoms have been lost and we are about to endure the final phases of transformation.

In order for this transformation to be successful the elites had to properly condition millions of Americans to be unaware of what had happened, where this is going, or to see the big picture. [emphasis mine]  This has been done through the strategic suppression of the right brain which has the capacity to question, see the big picture, and enter much higher levels of consciousness. Stripping art, good literature, and classical music from education along with the robotic teaching to the test has shut down the right brain in countless millions of people. Added to this is the distribution of legal drugs, and chemical additives in the food and water, which all shut down the right brain.

I did not go to a blogging school. As we all know, there is no blogging school. But, if it existed, I am sure that I would have been taught to avoid writing anything that requires the reader to spend a great amount of time to read a long post, much less, put much thought into it, but I'll take my chances in this case. Because, as we all know, the American people have been dumbed down in the public educational system and saturated with an immense amount of meaningless information through entertainment sources. Sports, TV, movies, the internet, games... and even drugs, sex, rock & roll... McGuire nails it on those points, and we can't deny it. The morals that we all live by, for those of us baby-boomers and younger generations, have been gradually eroded. It is the old "How to cook a frog" recipe, where the heat is slowly increased until the point that the frog can no longer escape it's nearing demise.

While there are some incredibly profound points that Paul McGuire discusses in this column, such as an intentional destruction of our society and acceptance of a New World Order, there are spiritual points that he makes that probably won't fly with a lot of Christians. I would be one of those that would never agree with a lot of what Paul McGuire writes in this column. So, why would I include this column here? Could it be just to show that we haven't all been assimilated into "the hive"? That resistance is NOT futile? I'm just sayin'...

The United Holographic States of America

By Paul McGuire

November 17, 2014

From NewsWithViews.com

There is a convergence of unprecedented events coming to America and the world that will go into a kind of hyper-drive in 2015 or soon after. It is difficult to set exact dates because there are various forces which can change the dynamic. The important point is that none of these geopolitical, economic, scientific, technological, or sociological forces are due to random chance or accidents. The primary drivers are globally and socially engineered forces planned by a scientific elite. This elite manipulates economies, food prices, social structures, and what could be called the mass or collective consciousness of the American people through science and technology that most people have no idea exists.

What we now call America is simply a kind of holographic projection of consciousness and interdimensional forces by this elite along with the mass mind or “hive mind” of the collective… the collective consciousness. To use a term coined by the Canadian MKULTRA psychiatrist, Dr. Cameron, the national “hive mind” and the global “hive mind” have been produced by processes such as “depatterning.” Dr. Cameron conducted experiments on “patients” in a psychiatric hospital where he would literally wipe their minds clean through powerful psychiatric drugs, electroshock therapy, and playing endless hours of hypnotic audio tapes that essentially erased people’s minds so that he could program them the way he wanted to.

Prior to 1950, America was primarily a nation which held to some form of Christian values, patriotism, traditional family values, capitalism, and a belief in right or wrong. However, after World War II, America brought into our nation Nazi mind control scientists under what was called Operation Paperclip, and in the early 1960s the Tavistock Institute launched a campaign from Great Britain to completely transform America through sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, and the mysticism of a tsunami of British rock bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and many others.

Simultaneously, in San Francisco the Stanford Research Institute began distributing LSD through people like author Ken Kesey, who traveled across the country and gave out free LSD in what was called “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.” These experiments led to the explosion of a West Coast counter-culture of acid-driven rock’n’roll bands like the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix and culminated at the Woodstock rock’n’roll festival in New York. What this was on a mass scale was a kind of depatterning from traditional American values.

The point is that none of this happened by accident! All of this was the product of strategic social engineering, and many of the leaders of the counter culture were sponsored by government agencies or worked for them, like Ken Kesey, who was turned on to LSD by the CIA at Stanford Research Institute; Dr. Timothy Leary, the Harvard psychiatrist who promoted the use of LSD; and many others. This was accomplished with a continual “shock and awe” campaign of always pushing the envelope, breaking taboos, and reframing the American mind through music, film, and television. The movie The Graduate, starring Dustin Hoffman, broke taboos on American ideas on traditional marriage and introduced the “anti-hero” in film. Prior to the rise of the “anti-hero,” American films promoted the image of the American male as a hero and a champion of traditional American values. The audiences vicariously identified with the hero or heroine and followed their moral leadership.

The “anti-hero” became a cinematic device for deconstructing America and American values. Again, the combined effect of educational institutions, books, films, television, radio, and music along with the use of legal and illegal drugs created the psychological environment for depatterning and deprogramming.

Former Atheist Academic Who Rejected God and Believed ‘Smart People Don’t Become Christians’ Reveals What Changed Her Mind Entirely ~ By Billy Hallowell

It’s a view she now fully repudiates — and her journey to that conclusion is a fascinating one.

Growing up in a nominally Christian home which she described as unreligious, Ordway said that she ended up going off to college, where she embraced the “pervasive assumption that secularism was simply true — that naturalism, evolution — all that explained everything.”

“Faith was a nice thing people did as a hobby or cultural thing,” she recalled believing at the time.

Ordway said it took about 10 years before she began asking the questions that led her out of atheism and into the Christian realm.

Having read Christian writers like J. R. R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis as a child and during her college years, she said that the writings stuck with her and made an impact despite her atheistic worldview.

It really was a total coincidence. I had a movie DVD from Netflix for a couple weeks that I hadn't watched yet. I finally got around to watching it Friday night. And then, by sheer chance, while checking out the stories on theblaze.com, I found this column. Included in the title that drew me here, "Former Atheist Academic" sounded distinctly familiar:

When college student Josh Wheaton encounters an atheistic philosophy teacher who insists that his students will only pass by admitting that God is dead, Josh dedicates himself to proving the professor wrong about God.

That was the description on the DVD sleeve of the movie I watched. I'm sure many people have already figured it out, but the movie was "God's Not Dead."

I knew that the movie hit a special place in my heart upon seeing it. I actually noted that on my Facebook page, Johnny2k's America:

Hey, you all! I never would have believed that a post of mine would ever go viral, which sounds so crass with the Ebola thing going on. But it really happened. Over 24,000 "people reached", 229 shares.

It's all good, I took a night off, and watched an amazing film. While I was feeling great about reaching so many people with a blog I posted, I got thinking, did it make a difference? Maybe I could have made a lot more difference, had I reached just one person, with the message:

God's not dead!

This story about the former atheist academic verifies what the movie "God's Not Dead," though fictional, was illustrating. Many in academia would prefer a secular, God-less America.  Not just Christianity, but any religious belief that you are free to have, is being attacked by the "intellectual elite" snobs in academia.  However, they tend to pick on the Christians the most.  And make no mistake about it, the amount of intimidation of Christians, either students or faculty, that happens on college campuses across the country is staggering. 

Though I know that this blog post, or the movie "God's Not Dead," probably won't change anything, it would be an interesting study to observe these same intellectuals staring death in the face and see how many of them decide to rethink their stance. There's an old war-time saying that goes something like this: "There are no atheists in the foxholes." Just sayin'...




Former Atheist Academic Who Rejected God and Believed ‘Smart People Don’t Become Christians’ Reveals What Changed Her Mind Entirely

By Billy Hallowell

October 16, 2014 10:52am

From theblaze.com

Dr. Holly Ordway

As an atheist Dr. Holly Ordway had always felt like she wasn’t quite “God’s type” — that is, until she says she began deeply questioning the ins and outs of the Christian faith.

In her autobiography, “Not God’s Type: An Atheist Academic Lays Down Her Arms,” Ordway, who directs the Master of Arts in Apologetics Masters program at Houston Baptist University, tackles how she transitioned from an atheist who wasn’t interested in the Almighty to a fervent Christian.

“The title [of the book] reflects pretty much my attitude before I was a Christian,” Ordway recently told TheBlaze. “If I even gave any thought to whether God existed, I thought, ‘It’s not for me … it’s fine for other people, they like that sort of thing.’ I was very much not God’s type.”

As an English professor who looked more at the Bible as a piece of ancient literature than anything to be literally revered or followed, she admitted to once believing that “smart people don’t become Christians.”

“It was more the absence of positive evidence and the general cultural attitude,” Ordway said of her belief that intelligent individuals couldn’t possibly embrace biblical teaching.

Presbyterian Church USA Criticizes Israel, Ignores Christian Persecution ~ By Raymond Ibrahim

First, the obvious: Why is it that self-professed Christians completely ignore the horrific Islamic persecution of fellow Christians in the Middle East, while grandstanding against the Jewish state for trying to defend itself against the same ideology that persecutes Christians?

[Netanyahu] is absolutely right to say that the persecution of Christians in the Mideast has reached a point of “savagery of unimaginable proportions.” Perhaps the only thing more shocking than the atrocities Mideast Christians are exposed to – the slaughters, crucifixions, beheadings, torture and rape – is the absolute silence emanating from so-called mainline Protestant churches in the U.S.

When I saw this article by Raymond Ibrahim on theBlaze.com, I cringed as I read the title.  It says it all.  It's baffling that this could possibly be happening.  Don't the leaders of those mainline Protestant churches know what is going in the Middle East?  Are they helping their congregations be part of the low-information public that Hamas depends on? Why are those churches being silent about the attack on Christianity in the Middle East?

For the leaders and congregations of the Presbyterian Church USA, watch the following video. This is something that you don't want to be wrong about, just because you weren't informed or you had been misinformed.

I have to tell you about this even though it may cause some controversy, even amongst Faithful readers of this Blog. Right, as if this post didn't already cause some disagreement... But I digress.

Presbyterian Church USA Criticizes Israel, Ignores Christian Persecution

Jul. 31, 2014 1:00pm

From TheBlaze.com

Days before the recent Israel-Hamas conflict erupted, the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. withdrew $21 million worth of investments from Israel because, as spokesman Heath Rada put it, the Israeli government’s actions “harm the Palestinian people.”

Soon after, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and was asked if he was “troubled” by the Presbyterian Church’s move. Netanyahu responded:

It should trouble all people of conscience and morality because it’s so disgraceful. You know, you look at what’s happening in the Middle East and I think most Americans understand this, they see this enormous area riveted by religious hatred, by savagery of unimaginable proportions. Then you come to Israel and you see the one democracy that upholds basic human rights, that guards the rights of all minorities, that protects Christians – Christians are persecuted throughout the Middle East. So most Americans understand that Israel is a beacon of civilization and moderation. You know I would suggest to these Presbyterian organizations to fly to the Middle East, come and see Israel for the embattled democracy that it is, and then take a bus tour, go to Libya, go to Syria, go to Iraq, and see the difference. And I would give them two pieces of advice: One is, make sure it’s an armor plated bus, and second, don’t say that you’re Christians.

It’s difficult – if not impossible – to argue with Netanyahu’s logic. Indeed, several points made in his one-minute response are deserving of some reflection.

Win the 'war' (oops) – ignore the rhetoric ~ By Victoria Jackson

Altadena, Calif., Aug. 12, 2009, Schiff Health Care Townhall

I will not be worn down. Although some TV liberals call me "weird," and "coo-coo for CoCo Puffs," and some liberal bloggers call me "a fat has-been," and Keith Olberman once labeled me the "second-worst person in the world," I will continue to speak the truth in this "fight" (oops), "battle" (oops) … um … disagreement thing. Conservatives call me names, too – names like "smart, educated, informed and honest." So, I like conservatives better!

Victoria Jackson makes a statement that is so true (I pray): "Look out. The Christians are waking up."

Now, let me ask you, have you ever heard anyone say something like, "As Christians, we should never mix politics and religion?" Of course you have! Or, at least I think you have, because I know I've heard it millions of times (I tend to make absurd exaggerations in order to make a point), and I actually did believe it until Ronald Reagan was campaigning for President in 1980. That was when I first realized that when Christians stayed silent, when Christians "left politics to the left," we ended up with Jimmy Carter.

So, today, I am praying that many Christians will see this post.

By the way, there is a note at the bottom of Vicki's column. As much as I love Glenn Beck, Vicki has brought something to light that you should be aware of:

Note: Referring to last week's piece on Glenn Beck's Mormonism, be sure to read this column.

Something bad is happening. Small groups of moms are gathering by candlelight across the country. We will do anything to protect our children. Tonight I am at a WIN meeting. WomenImpactingtheNation.org is my newest attempt to "arm" myself for "battle." Oops! Not allowed to make "war" (oops) references in referring to "conquering" (oops) evil. My words may lead metaphor-ignorant folks to "attack" (oops) physically instead of ideologically their "enemies." (Oops!) Let's just say we moms are going to save our country for our children. With God's help.

We open in prayer. Spunky the pit bull is lying on Mary Margaret's lap snoring.

The book we are reading, "Take Back America" by Mathew Staver, is sitting on the coffee table beneath a small American flag that we are pledging allegiance to. My eyes are full of tears. How did my country come to this? I feel like we are hiding. Have we done something wrong? I feel like we are Anne Frank or the underground church in China.

First, we must acknowledge that we Christian moms "dropped the ball." Sports metaphors are still allowed, right? My new best friend from my cruise last week, Gary DeMar (AmericanVision.org and VisiontoAmerica.org) lists several reasons why Christians over the last 30 years have left politics to the left.



Look out. The Christians are waking up. Since most of our WIN group is made up of beginner political activists and I've had two years' experience, I share with them some of my new knowledge.

Will you sin in the voting booth? ~ By Dave Welch

Commentary from WorldNetDaily

By Dave Welch

Posted: January 16, 2010 ~ 1:00 am Eastern

© 2010

As we roll rapidly into 2010, it is incredibly obvious that we are entering a critical election year – not that every election year isn't. As has often been said, elections are not so much a test of the politicians as much as a test of the people. What will our grade be this year?

We don't have a political equivalent of the PSAT, so I will propose some pre-exam preparations for every God-fearing citizen. Just like those intimidating final exams in high school and college, we had better show up having spent some time in the books.

First, we must do a personal and collective "heart exam." The difficult truth is that most people who call themselves Christians do not think biblically in relation to critical decision making in their families, professions and citizenship. In fact, according to researcher George Barna in an interview about his book "The Seven Faith Tribes: Who They Are, What They Believe, and Why They Matter," "The Casual Christian tribe is especially significant because it represents a huge majority of the nation's population – two out of every three adults."

What is a Casual Christian? His definition is summarized with, "spiritually middle-of-the-road, perhaps even ambivalent about their faith." I was taught early in my Christian walk and in political involvement that there are only two things in the middle of the road – yellow lines and road kill. We also call them moderates.

As a case example, consider "pastor" Joel Osteen who, while standing firmly on the yellow line, asserts through his spokesman that Houston's lesbian Mayor Annise Parker, "… says she's a believer. Let her stand before God; that's kind of where Joel is. … He's not going to tell homosexuals they can't come to our church. If the Holy Spirit convicts them, then they'll change," although "…the pastor himself has never specifically called (homosexuality) a 'sin …'"

My Bible calls such Yellow Stripe Christianity "lukewarm," and if you want to know the reward for that path read Revelation 3:16.

The opposite of this category in Barna's research is the Captive Christian. I guess I would be guilty of fitting into that category as, "focused on upholding the absolute moral and spiritual truths they glean from the Bible." The fact that the majority of those identifying themselves as Christians do not accept "absolute moral and spiritual truths" is undeniable proof that most pulpits are not delivering even that basic function.

For those who do accept that there are such standards, we are a minority, so it is all the more deadly serious that this remnant be faithful in being on the "offensive" in every aspect of our lives – in love, grace and humility. Even if the Captives only represent 10 percent of the population, that is three to four times that of the "Try-sexual" movement. They have just been more passionate, dedicated and effective in changing the world than we have.

Cross purposes ~ By Pat Boone

Commentary from WorldNetDaily

By Pat Boone Posted: December 05, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 I've mentioned here before that each Veterans Day, Memorial Day and Independence Day, sometimes Thanksgiving Day as well, I make my way to the huge, beautiful Veterans' Cemetery in Westwood. I walk among the tens of thousands of markers and monuments, read the names and dates on many of them – out loud – and thank them for giving their very lives in the service of our country. I thank them for sacrificing their dreams, families and lives, so that we all might live ours. The vast majority of those monuments are crosses. Yes, there are quite a few with Jewish stars on them. I've seen a few Muslim symbols and even one Buddhist circular one, very pretty. I've seen no atheist markers. Since our colonial days, and through all our wars, the great majority of our fighting men and women marched into battle beneath our American flag and, whether it was visibly displayed or not, under a cross. It was, and is, a symbol of faith in God, a prayer for His protection and blessing and a fervent hope that He will somehow work on their behalf, to bring them home to their loved ones again. Most did come home, some wounded, some maimed for life, but still alive. Too many did not. But those who lost their lives fighting for our country, and for our cherished freedoms, died believing that the loving God symbolized by that cross would welcome them into eternal habitations. Their families were comforted in that same belief, and if the body was returned home, it was lovingly laid to rest – under a cross. I suspect that the young Jewish men and women in our military have had similar experiences, encouraged and strengthened, and finally comforted by the Star of David. Perhaps Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus as well, by their symbols. I have no idea what atheists do in these circumstances. There is obviously no religious symbol to feed hope or comfort loss. There is no expectation of reunion, or afterlife, or anything. There is only death – and nothing. Perhaps that's why a growing number of atheists and the atheist-driven ACLU are so militantly and vehemently trying to remove all crosses from public life, off public buildings, out of sight and out of mind.

Rick Warren does it, again ~ By Joseph Farah

By Joseph Farah Posted: July 03, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 While millions of other Americans will be celebrating Independence Day weekend, Rick Warren, often called "America's Pastor," will be serving as the keynote speaker for a Saudi-backed Muslim group that promotes a radical strain of Wahhabi Islam in about 80 percent of U.S. mosques. I don't know about you, but I'm getting tired of Rick Warren's bad judgments. This time Warren will be schmoozing with the Islamic Society of North America, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood – just as are al-Qaida, Hamas and most other Muslim terrorist organizations. ISNA puts on a façade of moderation, yet, according to terrorism expert Steven Emerson, it "convenes annual conferences where Islamist militants have been given a platform to incite violence and promote hatred." After Hamas leader Mousa Marzook was arrested in 1997, ISNA raised money for his defense. He was eventually deported. ISNA condemned the U.S. government's seizure of the financial assets of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad after Sept. 11. Brigitte Gabriel combats politically correct notions about the "religion of peace" in "They Must be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How we Can Do It" "I think ISNA has been an umbrella, also a promoter of groups that have been involved in terrorism," explains Emerson. "I am not going to accuse the ISNA of being directly involved in terrorism. I will say ISNA has sponsored extremists, racists, people who call for jihadagainst the United States." I could go on with many more details about ISNA. Suffice it to say it is no friend of Christianity and no friend of America. So what is Rick Warren doing speaking at the group's national conference? I don't know what Warren's agenda is. He would probably say he doesn't have one. But I can tell you the effect of his appearance – it is designed to disinfect and rehabilitate a group that is dangerous and subversive to U.S. national security. But it should surprise no one, at this point, that Rick Warren will be there. One of the first times I ever wrote about Rick Warren was in 2006 when he took an equally misguided trip to Syria to meet with dictator Bashar Assad and praise him for his pleasant treatment of Christians. Syria was then and remains today one of the world's leading state sponsors of Islamic terrorism. Almost every terrorist group in the world maintains offices there. Nevertheless, Rick Warren said, while in Syria, that the country "does not allow extremism of any kind." Less than a week after Warren's absurd proclamations in Syria, a Christian leader in Lebanon, former President Pierre Gemayel, was assassinated in the streets of Beirut. Everyone in Lebanon knows who killed him – the Syrian government. As I wrote at the time, "it is imperative that Christians – and especially Christian leaders – have discernment about evil in our world. And true, unadulterated evil is what you have running Syria today. The government led by Bashar Assad, who met with Rick Warren last week, is anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish and pro-terrorist. "Rick Warren should know this. Yet, he has placed himself in a position of apologizing and excusing the government in Damascus, one of the most evil on the face of the earth. ..." [CONTINUE READING]

Christians, here come the lions ~ By Pat Boone

By Pat Boone Posted: June 13, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 WARNING: This column is written for, and addressed to, America's Christians only. Well, maybe devout Jews as well, but no one else. People of other faiths, or no particular faith at all, probably won't comprehend the looming danger or see anything to be concerned about. But this is a three alarm, red alert wake-up call for people who are serious about their Judeo-Christian religion. The end of our religious freedom in America could be at hand. Can you believe it? In "the land of the free, the home of the brave," the one country in human history whose original purpose was to create and preserve absolute religious freedom for all? The nation whose foundational documents, its Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and its subsequent Bill of Rights, specifically guaranteed that government would absolutely keep its grubby hands off its citizens' freedom to exercise their faith however, whenever and wherever they choose? I've always been awed by the incredible courage of the early Christians (many of whom were Jews). Human beings just like us, bound up in their cultures as we are in ours, who became willing to sacrifice everything – everything including their very lives – rather than repudiate or abandon their faith in God. They were tortured and persecuted in so many ways, but I think the most terrifying trials came in the Colosseum in Rome when Christian men and women were herded out into the arena, sometimes tied to posts, and left to be torn to pieces and devoured by ravenous lions. I still shudder when I imagine myself one of those fervent believers, just wanting to worship and serve God as I believe He wants me to, being forced to face the unreasoning, snarling beasts that will literally devour me, just because of my professed faith. Another reason I'm thankful to be living here and now instead of there and then. But now that time is seeming less distant! Our new president, his administration, a Congress and much of the judiciary ruled by ultra-liberal, "progressive" and humanistic men and women, egged on and abetted by the ACLU, are actively making plans and devising bills that will force Christians to either obey the new laws, or be fined, jailed – or who knows? Perhaps physically punished, imprisoned, or worse. You think I'm exaggerating? Think again. [Continue reading]

Distorted textbooks used to erode religious understanding??

Authors Warn That Many Textbooks Distort Religion By Lauren Green Jesus was a Palestinian? That's what one public school textbook says. Although Jesus lived in a region known in his time as Palestine, the use of the term "Palestinian," with its modern connotations, is among the hundreds of textbook flaws cited in a recent five-year study of educational anti-Semitism detailed in the book "The Trouble with Textbooks: Distorting History and Religion." Authors Gary Tobin and Dennis Ybarra of the Institute for Jewish and Community Research found some 500 imperfections and distortions concerning religion in 28 of the most widely used social studies and history textbooks in the United States. Ybarra, a research associate at the institute, called the above example "shocking." A "true or false" question on the origins of Christianity asserted that "Christianity was started by a young Palestinian named Jesus." The teacher's edition says this is "true." But even though Jesus is the founder of Christianity, the question ignores the fact that he was Jewish. And Ybarra said, "The Christian scriptures say that he preached in Judea and Galilee, not Palestine," a term that was used at the time as a less specific description of the broader region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Ybarra says part of the problem is that publishers employ or contract with writers who are not experts in the subject, or they may use out-of-date information. Or they may bow to special interest groups. "They're under pressure from all kinds of minority groups, religious groups, and they try to satisfy everyone and that results in content that is dumbed down to the lowest common denominator," he said. "And so, in that process, things can be missed. Errors can survive." [Continue reading]
