-Caveat Lector-
cont'd:
It is necessary first to bring to light a myth known as
British Israelism, which stands behind Pentecostalism. This
is an evil piece of historical race gossip, spread into
American religion, into the ranks of American populists,
poisoning the minds of separatists and Armageddon
terrorists.
The British monarchy and its prime ministers and Foreign
Office fabricated British Israelism in the nineteenth
century, from earlier versions of the story. They claimed
that Queen Victoria was descended from the Biblical King
David, and was thus a descendant of the Davidic family tree
that produced Jesus. They taught that the tribes of Israel
wandered into northern Europe; that by this supposed
genealogy, the British are the real Chosen People, and the
British Empire is thus God's empire.
The modern Jews, by this British account, are not the
historical Hebrews of Old Testament Israel, but rather, the
British are. But, says the British Israel myth, in a leap
of logic, the Jews need to be put into Palestine, to
fulfill prophecy, get slaughtered in a war with the
Muslims, and bring about the End Times.
To provide fuel for this mythology, the royal family asked
the British Grand Lodge of Freemasonry to establish the
Palestine Exploration Fund. In the 1870s, they dispatched
soldier-archeologists to the Holy Land, to dig up supposed
religious relics that might impress the cheap fancies of
the beggarly masses.
British Israelism designed its Jewish angle to be worked in
many politically useful ways, along a spectrum from Nazi
anti-Semitism to radical Zionism. The cynical character of
this entire travesty may be seen, in the way the story was
changed to suit imperial politics. During the 1870s,
Germany broke from allegiance to British free trade
doctrines. The London "prophets" then reconfigured ancient
history. Suddenly, it wasn't Britain and Germany,
collectively the Nordic Aryans, who were the wandering
Chosen People, but only Britain. Modern Germans, it had
been discovered, are the ancient Assyrians!
In his book Religion and the Racist Right: The Origins of
the Christian Identity Movement, author Michael Barkun
presents a nagging paradox, which he never solves. He
reports that British Israelism originates with the British
military, the Anglican Church, the British upper classes,
who are fanatical loyalists to the government, the British
Empire. Yet, this mother has given birth to the Christian
Identity Movement, whose racist paranoia and paramilitary
anger are aimed against the government, the United States
government. Barkun cannot puzzle out the mystery, how the
same historical movement can both support the government,
and oppose the government!
The British Empire invents Pentecostalism
According to Pentecostal lore, the movement began when a
woman spoke in tongues in the church of Charles Fox Parham
in Topeka, Kansas, in 1901. Reverend Parham spread the
method until it blossomed in the famous Azusa Street, Los
Angeles, revival of 1906; from there, disciples took it
around the world.
During the year preceeding the launch-time, Parham had
caught fire with British Israelism. He had been
indoctrinated into the Empire's mystery cult by emissaries
of one Frank Sandford, who ran a cult center called Shiloh,
near Durham, Maine. Parham made a pilgrimage and studied
under Sandford at Shiloh, after which the two of them went
on tour through Canada.
Sandford had made the New England Toryism of his fancy
Anglophile family relations into a career, travelling back
and forth to England, working to inculcate Americans into
the British Empire gospel.
In those days, British Israelism was not shy. Its
literature, such as The Anglo-American Alliance in
Prophecy, or The Promise to the Fathers, published by Our
Race Publishing Co., featured the masonic mummery of a
pyramid topped by an all-seeing eyeball. The Egyptian
pyramids allegedly contained coded secrets for
understanding prophecy. The explicit message of the British
Israel propaganda was, Americans should give up their
mistaken Revolution, and reunite with their Anglo-Saxon
racial brethren in the English fatherland. The movement's
masonic Anglomania was proudly displayed. Parham's
biography, written by his daughter, includes a photo of a
mystery gavel, brought back from Palestine and donated by
Parham to his masonic lodge.
With British Israelism as his theory of man's cosmic
destiny, Parham began teaching Americans how to die
mentally, to speak in tongues, as a religious exercise,
allegedly re-creating the descent of the Holy Ghost upon
Christ's Apostles during the Jewish feast of Pentecost. He
took this show on the road from Topeka, and in Houston,
Texas, a black preacher named William J. Seymour, the son
of a slave, became part of his audience. The catch was,
that Parham, being a crazed racist, would not permit
Seymour inside the lecture hall; he had to listen at the
window, or in the hallway.
Much is made of Seymour's spreading of the technique to a
mostly black congregation on Azusa Street in Los Angeles,
and of the fascination and novelty it held for visiting
religious adventurers who took "Pentecostalism" out to the
world. The movement was widely condemned by Christians as
scandalous exploitation, and its historical origins faded
into the mist. Frank Sandford spent ten years in jail for
manslaughter, after many of his cult members died. Charles
Parham's religious vocation was destroyed when he was
charged with sodomizing a young male follower in Texas;
Parham went on to a new career as a stump speaker for the
Ku Klux Klan.
In 1908, British and allied American missionaries, who had
observed the success of the experiment among blacks in
America, brought Pentecostalism to South Africa. The
British Empire had just then completed its conquest of that
country in the Boer War against the Dutch-immigrant
Afrikaner settlers. The great majority of the population
were black Africans, including the rebellious Zulus, whom
the British had militarily subdued in 1906. The new British
masters shaped a uniquely brutal system of racial
separation and slave labor, called apartheid.
The cultists and hypnotists went to work on the Zulus of
South Africa. At the new Apostolic Faith Mission church,
Zulu worshippers, in trances, would fall into heaps,
clustered around the altar. British Empire South African
strategist Cecil Rhodes congratulated the Pentecostal
mind-benders for pacifying the natives as no military could
have done.
Americans had better reflect deeply about what the British
have done to Africa. For it was precisely the British
Empire's apparatus for colonial conquest in Africa, which
fashioned irrational Pentecostalism as one among the
weapons used against America's "uppity" spirit of Reason
and Progress.
Du Plessis comes to America
We shall now review the career of South African David du
Plessis (1905-87), the 1930s head of the imperial
cult-master Apostolic Faith Mission denomination, who came
to America and supervised the creation of Pentecostalism,
and who managed the body-snatchers working on Gen. Ralph
Haines.
With his British passport clearing him to reside as an
alien in the United States, British subject David du
Plessis came north in the late 1940s. By the early 1950s,
du Plessis was a consultant to the International Missionary
Council, a group formed by the British authorities who had
spun off from it the World Council of Churches. Du Plessis
strategized on the British rule in Tanganyika, Nyasaland,
and Rhodesia with the Missionary Council's chairman, Briton
John A. Mackay, who had earlier moved to America to head
the Princeton Theological Seminary. Mackay, du Plessis's
prime public sponsor, had been for many years a close
collaborator of the Anglophile political-religious
strategist John Foster Dulles, in Britain and at Princeton.
Simultaneously, du Plessis was employed on two other 1950s
projects, in the world of covert intelligence:
+ Du Plessis was a paid agent of the Far East Broadcasting
Company, a religious cover for the official intelligence
agencies operating in Asia (based in the Philippines) and
Europe (based in Greece). This arrangement was especially
cozy beginning in 1953, when John Foster Dulles became
Secretary of State and his brother Allen became Director
of Central Intelligence.
+ Du Plessis was the master chef cooking up the Full Gospel
Businessmen's Fellowship International, with Oral
Roberts, Gordon Lindsay, front man Demos Shakarian, and
later, Harald Bredesen. The FGBFI has penetrated Central
and South America, Asia, and the Middle East as an occult
intelligence agency, working in aggressive
insurrectionary politics since its 1952-54 founding.
During the 1950s, du Plessis was adopted by the executive
apparatus of the World Council of Churches, to ram
Pentecostalism down the throats of Christians in America,
and to "charismatize" the Catholic Church through agents at
the Vatican. This was accomplished through the
instrumentality of the Church of England.
The 'high church' gathers its forces
The British spread religious irrationalism to subdue and
destroy that dangerous, typically American concept that man
is created in God's image, dignified and self-governing. We
will see this strategy, unadorned, by briefly inspecting
the actions and words of du Plessis's employers.
The World Council of Churches was founded in England in
1937, under the direction of Anglican Church missionary
leader J.H. Oldham, based on a plan developed by Lord
Lothian and other members of the Round Table group.
World Council co-founder John Mackay (later du Plessis's
sponsor) published a book, The Universal Church and the
World of Nations, expressing the new World Council's desire
for the reordering of global political affairs under a
world government. The lead article was written by Lord
Lothian, entitled "The Demonic Influence of National
Sovereignty"; another article was written by Mackay's crony
John Foster Dulles, who represented the Presbyterian Church
at the World Council founding. Lothian and Dulles argued
that national sovereignty, such as the political and
juridical independence of the United States, causes wars.
The Round Table group had been organized by South Africa's
British governor, Lord Alfred Milner, to fulfill the
strategy of British South Africa leader Cecil Rhodes for a
new-style white racialist world empire, in which the
annoying independence of the republican United States, in
particular, was to be extinguished. The core of the Round
Table group was assembled from among the aides to Lord
Milner in South Africa. Lord Lothian was the first editor
of the Round Table quarterly, and was the chief executive
of the Rhodes Trust, administering the Rhodes Scholarships
to bring Americans and other "colonial" students to Oxford
University.
John Foster Dulles and his brother Allen met the principal
Round Table members after World War|I, and were informally
inducted. In a letter to Round Table founder Lionel Curtis,
Lord Lothian expressed the racial views which the British
Round Table shared with the Dulles brothers, in opposition
to the viewpoint of American nationalists:
"The real problem is going to arise from the
treatment which must be accorded to politically
backward peoples... There is a fundamentally
different concept ... between Great Britain and
South Africa on the one side and the United
States ... on the other... The inhabitants of
Africa and parts of Asia have proved unable to
govern themselves ... because they were quite
unable to withstand the demoralizing influences
[i.e., the desire for modernization] to which
they were subjected in some civilised countries,
so that the intervention of a European power is
necessary in order to protect them from those
influences... The American view ... is quite
different."
How they got away with 'charismatic renewal'
In May 1960, an English-born Episcopal priest, Dennis
Bennett, told his Van Nuys, California parishioners that he
had begun speaking in tongues after baptism in the Holy
Spirit. This was the beginning of present-day
Pentecostalism. The controversy over Bennett's announcement
spread quickly, with coverage in Time and Newsweek
magazines. The publicity, interpretation, and proselytizing
for the new movement within the American church community
and worldwide, was handled personally by David du Plessis.
Both Protestants and Catholics, who had earlier looked upon
Pentecostalism as a freak show, or a Satanic influence,
placidly accepted what was termed "charismatic renewal," as
a respectable, non-threatening addition to Christendom.
This succeeded because the British authorities and the
World Council of Churches put their stamp of approval on
David du Plessis, as the designated -- by them -- world
representative of the new, "improved" Pentecostalism.
Between 1952 and 1954, John Mackay and World Council of
Churches General Secretary Willem Adolf Visser 't|Hooft
introduced du Plessis to scores of the highest level
Protestant and Eastern Orthodox church officials. The World
Council executive shopped du Plessis around to the Ivy
League U.S. colleges and seminaries, to speak of the
religion of the future. Through Cardinal Augustin Bea and
Cardinal Jan Willebrands, the World Council got du Plessis
invited to the Vatican II council, and set up an official,
global, "Catholic-Pentecostal Dialogue," which consisted of
du Plessis talking to Vatican officials. Vatican officials
did so despite the fact that when the World Council of
Churches invited du Plessis to take part in its 1954 global
meeting, he represented no Pentecostal religious body
whatsoever; he was merely a British political agent. (The
previously established Pentecostal churches were hostile
toward the World Council and the Catholics.)
In England, Anglican Churchmen Michael Harper and other
partners of du Plessis cemented the ties of Catholics
around the world to the new movement.
Following Bennett's Episcopal Church outbreak of 1960, du
Plessis, aided by Bennett, published Trinity newsletter.
This was circulated in the United States and England as the
spur for the new charismatic movement. Trinity was edited
by Jean Stone, a wealthy American Anglican loyalist who
mediated between du Plessis and the high-society
bankrollers of the Episcopal Church. The organization
publishing Trinity was chaired by Harald Bredesen, by then
a well-established British intelligence operative.
Du Plessis instructed clergymen and parishioners who were
pulled into the babble-boom, to follow the Bennett example,
and "stay in your church, do not form a new church
denomination." Many charismatics followed the advice of du
Plessis, who was publicized as "Mr. Pentecostalism"; so,
the regular church denominations were decimated by those
who stayed, as well as those who left their fold for
wilder, newer sects.
General Haines, who had been "zapped" in 1971, resigned
from active duty on Jan. 31, 1973. Two weeks later, Haines,
du Plessis, and Bennett were the star speakers at the
Dallas founding meeting of the Episcopal Charismatic
Fellowship. By that time, Episcopals were the driving force
for the spread of Pentecostalism. According to Haines, 20%
of Episcopalians were then already speaking in tongues.
Haines says that when he led the American delegation to the
1978 Canterbury Cathedral meeting, launching the Anglicans'
worldwide drive for charismatic renewal, he was struck by
the spectacle of dancing around the altar led by the
representative (white) South African Anglican bishop.
Haines went on to commission Ammerman's Full Gospel
Chaplaincy, on whose board Haines sits today, and whose
serving chaplains Haines addresses. Public statements
promoting armed conflict between citizens and the
government, Haines leaves to Colonel Ammerman to make.
The security problem, defined
The danger involved in this British initiative is not a
matter of wrong or heretical religious beliefs. At issue is
the buildup of a hostile, irrational, foreign-directed
network within our military and civilian political life.
The political intelligence group known as the Mount
Rushmore Foundation, mentioned above, illustrates the
problem. Ammerman is the political adviser and "chaplain"
to the group. Manager Douglas Towne says the foundation
"studies the Patriot movement," and "participates in it."
Towne's longtime political partner, Rushmore Foundation
board member Gen. Benton Partin, U.S. Air Force (ret.), is
an expert in high-explosive devices, including nuclear
weapons. Partin has received extensive news media coverage
for his critical analysis of the Oklahoma City bombing; he
has made an apparently reasonable case, that it would have
been technically impossible for Timothy McVeigh to have
done it acting alone.
Less well known is General Partin's sponsorship of an
ongoing, catastrophic shooting war in Africa, which lends a
more sinister character to his hatred of the United States
government. Partin is a founder and board member of the
Front Line Fellowship, a group of commando-missionaries
taking active part in the war against Sudan and other
African states viewed as enemies of the British Crown. The
Fellowship members are former "scouts" of the South African
Army. Partin describes his partner, Fellowship leader Peter
Hammond, as a "former South African army and government
officer."
That General Partin's "Christian" organization is at heart
merely the British military irregulars, who are generally
incinerating Africa to recolonize it, may be judged from
the Fellowship's book, Faith Under Fire in Sudan. Chapter
Three is a celebration of Charles "Chinese" Gordon, who led
British regulars in a war in China against the uprising of
a British-organized pseudo-Protestant cult. After 20
million Chinese died in this game, Gordon was sent to try
to subdue Sudan as Britain's governor, but he died,
defeated at the hands of Sudanese nationalist forces.
Chinese Gordon was not a drunken homosexual pederast,
Partin's group says, but Britain's Christian model for us
to follow into war.
The British have never forgiven Sudan, or the United
States, for the American Revolution. To the Ammerman
circle, the U.S. government is "communist." General Partin
says that even Abraham Lincoln was put into the Presidency
by the creators of international communism. Partin has
received from London, since the 1940s, the intelligence
reports published by Kenneth Hugh de Courcy, geopolitician
of the British Israel movement.
Observe the Pat Robertson empire. Robertson writes that his
family's aristocratic lineage, linking it to the British
Churchill family, gave his mother, Gladys Churchill
Robertson, confidence that Pat would succeed. His father,
Sen. A. Willis Robertson, was London's and Wall Street's
chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
Originally a playboy, Pat began speaking in tongues, and
exchanging prophecies in a circle like ouijah board
players, under the guidance of master spook Harald
Bredesen. The ghost-written Bredesen autobiography, Yes,
Lord, explains that Robertson's mentor was himself trained
by the International Christian Leadership group. Bredesen
proved himself to the group by speaking in tongues, in
ancient Arabic, to an Egyptian heiress. This feat by their
trainee was observed and attested to by the president of
the Leadership group's British branch, Ernest Williams, who
was simultaneously "a member of the directing staff of the
British Admiralty," and "a member of the Archbishop of
Canterbury's Commission on Evangelism."
International Christian Leadership was designed
specifically to capture wealthy or influential leaders of
society, into a network controlled by the group's patrons.
It was initiated during World War II by Col. Sir Vivian
Gabriel, a British Air Commission attache in Washington,
and leaders of the Episcopal Church. The Netherlands royal
family became the group's prime sponsor and center of world
operations in the 1950s. Bredesen wrote that his personal
trainer, Abraham Vereide, claimed to have "won
[Netherlands] Prince Bernhard for Christ." A strange Christ
it must have been, because the former Nazi SS officer
Bernhard was just then busy launching the globalist
Bilderberg Group's conferences and creating the World
Wildlife Fund, with Britain's Prince Philip.
Pat Robertson started off as assistant pastor to Bredesen,
the operative of the Anglo-Dutch monarchies' Leadership
group. Then, David du Plessis's Full Gospel Businessmen
raised the money to expand Robertson's and Bredesen's
Virginia-based Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) toward
global power status.
In a Feb. 1, 1997 column in Virginia's Richmond
Times-Dispatch, Robertson told critics why he had used
"Operation Blessing" aircraft to transport supplies for his
own personal diamond-mining venture in Zaire, rather than
for Christian charity, as expected by CBN
viewer-contributors. Robertson claimed that he really went
into Zaire at President George Bush's request, to pressure
the government to give up all Zaire's mines to foreign
owners. Later, when British mining companies paid for the
invasion that killed hundreds of thousands of people,
Robertson invited the bloody Laurent Kabila to be his guest
in America; and, he put Britain's Africa
slaughter-coordinator, Baroness Caroline Cox, on his
television network.
In this regard, consider U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.), a
member of the international board of referents of Baroness
Cox's blood-smeared British intelligence front, Christian
Solidarity International (CSI). Wolf has made the Toronto
Airport church his own spiritual stopping point, where the
participants fall in heaps, jerk about on the floor, and
bark.
Lady Cox is the Anglican high priestess of the
Pentecostals. An August 1997 Charisma magazine story,
headlined "Just Call Her Saint Caroline," explains,
"Baroness Caroline Cox -- a member of London's House of
Lords -- is spending lots of her time in war zones these
days. She's dodging bullets to help the world's persecuted
Christians... She attends mainline Anglican churches but
says she also enjoys `the sort of robust and very
expressive forms of worship' found in charismatic
fellowships... Many CSI board members and supporters are
from the more evangelical and charismatic end of the church
spectrum, she notes."
Finally, consider the Promise Keepers, who train their men
to be worms, to be broken, to die mentally. Promise Keepers
national spokesman Mark DeMoss is a professional at
preparing fanatics for Armageddon warfare. As chief of
staff to Jerry Falwell, DeMoss was the administrator of the
self-proclaimed "Christian Embassy" in Jerusalem. The
embassy serves as a bridge between End Times Christians,
lunatic freemasons, and right-wing Israeli Zionists. This
is a pivotal component of the Temple Mount initiative to
foment a religious war over the holy sites in Jerusalem, to
"fulfill Scripture." This covert network is engaged in the
most dangerous terrorist provocation, which may yet bring
on End Times unless it is handcuffed.
At Fort Bliss, Texas, DeMoss's Promise Keepers were engaged
to train the nation's highest-ranking non-commissioned
officers. Earlier this year, the United States Army
Sergeants Major Academy advertised "training with `Promise
Keepers'" as a "spiritual fitness program," on the Army
unit's official Internet web site.
It is time for Christians and patriots to clean their
house, before Her Majesty's legions blow it up.
