Fessing Up: "It isn't merely that the Jews dominate the media,
- jokes Roger Rosenblatt in a piece in the "The New Republic"
in which he reflects on Nixon's fear of Jewish ubiquity in America.
"We are the media." Everybody in the media is Jewish,
Mr. Rosenblatt says. "Some are Sabras, who were born into
the trade. Some like "The Washington Post's" William
Raspberry or, occasionally, TNR's Fouad Ajami, are in disguise.
Others have converted, and outsiders cannot always guess who."
The reason Jews have sought to monopolize the media: "To
take over the world. We have done so in deliberate stages. Our
interest in monopolizing world banks proved generally successful
- with a slight glitch in Europe between the early 1930s and 1945.
Our monopoly of Hollywood was swift and complete. It may seem
odd that our design there was not to celebrate Jews in American
culture but rather to reinforce the image of the dominant Protestant,
yet that was merely a diversionary tactic." -Binyamin Jolkovsky
The foregoing is masterful propaganda. It reveals the naked truth,
but with tongue in cheek delivery that disarms uninformed readers.
Nearly everything attributed to Roger Rosenblatt is true. Jews
do dominate the media, but not everyone in the media is Jewish.
His overstatement is calculated to produce the opposite effect.
He's correct that some Jews were born into the trade and some
are disguised. Others have converted and outsiders cannot guess
who they are.
Why have Jews sought to monopolize the media? "To take over
the world", he says. This is another statement designed to
produce incredulity in non-Jewish circles. The fact is that Jewish
leaders would very much like to monopolize the world. Read "Strong
Delusion", authored by this writer. And they have planned
it in deliberate stages. Rosenblatt's admission that they have
monopolized world banks and Hollywood is on target, and his statement
about their subterfuge regarding Protestantism is revealing.
SMYRNA has stated that the collapse of socialism-communism in
Russia is probably a ploy. Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the new controversial
political figure in Russia, bolsters our suspicions. He has allegedly
said that 2 million Jews control Russia.(1) However, Zhirinovsky
has been accused of being a fascist, a potential Hitler, and an
anti-Semite by Vadimir Pozner of the Pozner Donahue Show on CNBC.
Surprisingly, some evangelical Christians have postulated that
Zhirinovsky may be another Hitler and the leader of the Gog-Magog
forces that attack "Israel" in the Middle East in the
battle of Armageddon. Such speculation is built upon dispensationalism
and a misunderstanding of Bible prophecy. It also reveals a paucity
of comprehension of Zionist strategies and tactics. It plays into
the hands of the Talmudists. (See section below entitled "Which
Jews Are God's Chosen?")
(1) According to Vladimir Pozner of the Pozner & Donahue show,
CNBC, 12/14/93.
On 6/24/94 David Frost interviewed Zhirinovsky on PBS TV (recorded
in Russia). Concerning 2 million Jews in Russia, Zhirinovsky said
that it would be their choice to stay in Russia if he were president.
He said they are no problem. He said the Bolsheviks (Communists)
are still in power, that they stole more than half of his votes
in the December election, and that the U.S. supports them.
This all sounds like double talk until one thinks about it carefully.
Did someone get to Zhirinovsky between the time he allegedly said
that 2 million Jews control Russia, and the time he was interviewed
by Frost?
We just talked to a source who has been to Russia recently who
says that from 1965 most of the Jewish Bolsheviks left the USSR
for Israel, the U.S., Canada, Australia, and other places, with
enormous sums of money they stole and milked from the Russian
people. Our source said many have gone back (and are continuing
to return) to Russia to buy up commercial control of the country,
that they are the ones around Yeltsin who call themselves Democrats
(the Russia's Choice Party). Our source said that Zhirinovsky
claims he is not Jewish - that his papers were modified. When
asked about the whites in South Africa who are being disenfranchised,
Zhirinovsky said that if he were president he would welcome them
to Russia. He said he would ban all Western religious organizations
(see article below, "More on Leadership Betrayal").
(2) Jewish Telegraphic Agency, via "Forward" of 6/10/94 p.3.
Since the Jewish Telegraphic Agency used the term "Right-wing"
to describe Csurka, we can be reasonably certain that Jews are
powerful in the Socialist forces that won the victory. This would
be similar to what Vladimir Zhirinovsky is saying in Russia. Remember,
the Jewish leftists in the U.S. use the same terminology for those
of us who are constitutionalists/conservatives/Christians. If
we put two and two together, we can often deduce some truth that
we would otherwise miss. We also know that the political machinery
of Talmudic-Zionist cliques in America are super effective.

WOW! What if this really *IS* true?!
Well, now, the only thing left is to urge people to become believers,
not only in God and Jesus Christ, but in Bible prophecy. These,
coupled with history, demonstrate the reality of a world conspiracy,
the fundamental purpose of which is to destroy Christianity. It
is known as the anti-Christ system. Read our book "Strong
Delusion" please!
State Senator Don Rogers was keynote speaker at the banquet in
the evening. Bill Benson, author of the two volume "The Law

Why don't you call your local Congressional office and ask for
a transcript of the 12 minute film on anti-Semitism? Also ask
for the names and addresses of the commission members who manage
the museum. This will do two things: it will give you personal
evidence of what is being publicized on the film, and you will
know who is responsible for the Christian bashing. You may then
write to them. SMYRNA has already begun this project. Reports
to SMYRNA on your progress would be appreciated.
"The top item on our Community Service agenda is our Commitment
to Education...To date we have wired 100% of the schools in our
serviceable area with at least one cable outlet. Our goal is to
have cable in every classroom by the end of 1995."
Since SMYRNA concluded long ago that TV is public enemy number
one, we do not agree with the foregoing assessment by Cox Cable
that its efforts are beneficial to the community. It's like the
fox who carefully wined and dined the chickens and even educated
the little chickees - all in the name of community service in
order to reap continuing bountiful meals through the years. Cox
Cable's multiculturalism is the kiss of death to any sane, moral
culture.

SMYRNA agrees with Christian Coalition's basic purposes but finds
it impossible to justify its expediency regarding pro-abortion
Republicans. We do not believe that God honors deliberate expediency.
If abortion is murder then it is wrong to support those who support
abortion. There are too many Christians who practice expediency
in order to achieve some supposedly worthwhile objective, but
the end never justifies the means if the means are unprincipled.
Hillel Halkin, the "Forward" staff writer from whom
the above quotation was taken, denounced the acceptance in Jerusalem
of anti-Zionist Rabbi Teitelbaum while rejecting Yasser Arafat
who openly embraces the right of "Israel" to exist.
SMYRNA thinks this division among Jews confronts Christian dispensationalists
with a tough problem. Who are the "chosen ones"? Are
they Schneerson's group or are they Teitelbaum's followers? Or
what about all those Jews who are of the Reformed faith? Are they
the chosen ones? Come on, dispensationalists - choose. Or perhaps
they should all be lumped into one big pot without their consent?
We know that we sound like a stuck record player because we persistently
blame Jewish leaders for many problems. We don't do this without
solid evidence, often from Jewish sources. And the EEOC guidelines
are one more putsch concocted by Jewish leaders who admit their
involvement. In the 6/17/94 issue of "Forward", this
small headline appeared on page one: "Christians, Jews Clash
Over EEOC." The article states that the Christian stance
is "pitting them squarely against Jewish leaders who feel
the guidelines are necessary to combat anti-Semitism at the office."
Friends, in most cases of this nature, if we peel back the skin
of the issue we will uncover Jewish interests.
(Sad Demise of Dr. Walter Martin's Ministry)
It is always an unpleasant task to air the dirty laundry of fellow
Christians, but it must be done because we cannot afford to act
as our enemies act, i.e., cover up our sins. According to Texe
Marrs in his Flashpoint newsletter of July 1994, a lawsuit against
Christian Research Institute's president, Hendrik (Hank) Hanegraaff
has been filed by Brad Sparks, a former employee of CRI. The suit
charges Hanegraaff and his wife with pocketing over $750,000 in
bloated salaries and benefits. It also accuses Hanegraaff of using
the 501(C)(3) organization as a cover for his own profit making
business. Sparks, states "Flashpoint", was a top researcher
for CRI and an aide to Mr. Hanegraaff. His suit was filed in Orange
County Superior Court 4/7/94.
The founder of CRI was the late Dr. Walter Martin, the Bible Answer
Man. Walter Martin, in our estimation, was a whiz kid. With few
exceptions we agreed with his philosophical and theological views.
We were sorry to see him depart this life but we know that he
is now enjoying the bliss of the Savior's presence. He was a great
influence for good with his scholarly answers.
Since Mr. Hanegraaff took the reins of CRI it has changed. Some,
including Texe Marrs, believe that CRI has become an apologist
for Roman Catholicism, and more specifically for the Society of
Jesus (Jesuits) and Freemasonry. Be that as it may, SMYRNA believes
that CRI has become a defender of Talmudism/Zionism. In 1993 we
wrote a letter to Elliot Miller of CRI, excerpted below.
January 14, 1993
Mr. Elliot Miller, Editor-in-Chief Christian Research Journal
P.O. Box 500 San Juan Capistrano, CA 92693
Dear Mr. Miller:
One of SMYRNA'S newsletter recipients sent us a copy of an article
in your Fall 1992 issue entitled "Identity", by Viola
Larson. I was quite amazed that you allowed so much space to Ms.
Larson, whose views are quite slanted and intolerant. Why do I
state this?
In 1981 she telephoned me after I had filled in for a fellow minister
on a Sacramento Christian radio show. She exhibited a closed mind
regarding everything that she did not agree with. Her behavior
was intolerant in the extreme, even to the point of refusing to
believe that I am a Christian simply because I did not meet her
doctrinal criteria.
[This reminds me of many so-called Christians - mostly pastors
and elders - but sometimes even the people "in the pews"
that we have had dealings with. Indeed we have caught many in
such OUTRIGHT LIES and some of the most beligerent behavior that
it stunned us . . . -BeWISE]
She will not (at least she would not at that time) accept evidence
presented by excellent secular scholars nor orthodox church scholars.
She was adamant and narrow in her personal opinions. She contacted
me again in 1987 to continue her "debate", with me.
While her article in your recent journal has certain merit regarding
the Identity movement, it is nevertheless slanted and contains
the self serving motive of connecting elements within that movement
that should not be connected. For example, she leads the reader
to believe that all followers of Identity are anti-Semites and
racist Nazi types. This is far, far from the truth, but it serves
her purpose, which is to label as racists and anti-Semites all
who don't agree that contemporary Israel is a fulfillment of Bible
prophecy, or that modern Jews are God's chosen people....
Will Viola Larson admit that the Jewish religion (Talmudism) is
bitterly anti-Christian and racist in the extreme? The "Talmud"
states:
"A Jew, by the fact that he belongs to the chosen people
and is circumcised, possesses so great a dignity that no one,
not even an angel, can share equality with him. In fact, he is
considered almost equal of God...A Jew alone is looked upon as
a man; the whole world is his and all things should serve him,
especially 'animals which have the form of men'" (see Chullin,
91b; Sanhedrin, 58b; cf. Chagigah, 15b; as quoted from Pranaitis,
"The Talmud Unmasked", p.60).
In her article (pp.23 and 25) Larson states that Identity teachers
"single out the word beast as a description of other races...[Some
see] all other races as creatures who, like animals, have no spirits."
Isn't it rather coincidental that the Jewish religion, which preceded
Identity, teaches the same thing about itself that some of the
Identity people teach about themselves? It may be more than a
coincidence. The question is, will Viola Larson even consider
the evidence that the Jewish religion is racist and bigoted?
This letter is not intended to critique Larson's entire article.
I simply want to demonstrate that she has conveniently overlooked
some critical evidence. She is an ardent Israel-firster and a
destructive polemicist for the occultic religion of Judaism (Talmudism
and Kabbalism). And because Christian Research Institute is a
defender of the Christian faith against the cults, it boggles
the mind that you would allow her to defend the country's most
powerful cult! She seems to hate those orthodox Christians who
disagree with her, who try to tell the truth about the most successful
Christian bashers - the Jewish leaders...
I hope that C.R.I. will stop, look, and listen carefully before
it embraces those who embrace the promoters of an anti-Christ
world view.
Sincerely in Christ,
- - - - - - - - -. Founder and Publisher [SMYRNA]
More than a year later (!), Mr. Hanegraaff answered our letter
and stated: "I do, however, believe that Viola Larson's opinion
is authentic and reasonable from her perspective." Of course!
Indubitably! Why not? As long as it is from her perspective it
has to be reasonable. That means that Stalin and Hitler were O.K.
if we empathized with them! Is this statement representative of
the new breed of "Christians" - those who make such
non sequitur remarks?
Following is our answer to Hanegraaff's letter.
April 5, 1994
Mr. Hendrik H. Hanegraaff Christian Research Institute P.O. Box
500 San Juan Capistrano, CA 92693-0500
Dear Mr. Hanegraaff:
I was surprised to receive a reply from you after a year and two
months had elapsed since I wrote to you, but thanks for your letter.
I am mystified by your comment, "I do, however, believe that
Viola Larson's opinion is authentic and reasonable from her perspective."
That rationale could be applied to any teaching from any source.
For example, Carl Sagan could say (has said) that his standards
for empirical evidence requiring one to believe in God are very
high, implying that no one has met his standards yet. If I published
an article by him and you wrote to me cautioning me that his views
are slanted and that he made several mistakes that Christians
shouldn't endorse, I could answer you by telling you that Sagan's
opinions are authentic and reasonable from his perspective. That
approach to truth is totally unacceptable for Christians. I did
not ask you to condemn Viola Larson, I merely documented evidence
to show that her views are slanted and also inaccurate. As a Christian
minister I felt that you would be grateful for such input, especially
since Christian Research Institute is supposed to be a clearing
house for facts exposing heresies. Instead, you defended Ms. Larson's
views on the premise that she is entitled to her beliefs no matter
how inaccurate. Apparently CRI will protect her right to be wrong.
I am disappointed in your posture. It is not the posture of the
CRI that I once knew.
We who are in positions of leadership have a responsibility to
dispense truth, and we must in fear and trembling account for
our labors before Almighty God.
Sincerely,
- - - - - - - - - -. Founder and Publisher
******************************************
Where can we get research intelligence data on cults and other
non-Christian activities now that CRI is no longer carrying the
banner that it once did? SMYRNA recommends Spiritual Counterteits
Project (SCP), P.O. Box 4308, Berkeley, CA 94704, telephone 510-540-0300.
They publish a newsletter and a quarterly journal that are excellent.
It is one of the finest ministries anywhere.
The answer has two parts:
1. Many people from the time of the "Middle Ages" onward
vehemently disagreed with certain practices of Romanism and the
idea was developed that the Pope was the anti-Christ. The Reformers
accentuated this. Some Bible expositors misinterpreted Revelation's
"seven hills" on which mystery Babylon was built, claiming
that because Rome is situated on seven hills, it was the seat
of anti-Christ. This idea has persisted down through the centuries.
2. In modern times the doctrine of dispensationalism arose and
was refined into the present teaching that the Jews are God's
chosen.
Let's do a bit of logic. If Roman Catholicism is such a powerful
force why is it that its opponents are free to speak out against
it so boldly? On the other hand, few speak out against Talmudism/Zionism
for fear of being shut down. Which, then, is the more powerful?
Actually, Revelation identifies Talmudism as the leader of the
anti-Christ system. SMYRNA'S "Strong Delusion" explains
this clearly. There is no need for continued ignorance on this
matter in our time, yet we see droves of Christians still teaching
these errors. We're not claiming that the Roman Catholic Church
is free of error; even her most loyal sons and daughters are painfully
aware of serious departures from the faith. But we hasten to remark
that Protestantism in all its shades is today filled with infiltrators
and error also. We believe that the bottom line is that God throughout
the ages has had a faithful people who have usually been a remnant
within the organized institutions.
If this is true then the Russians are more perceptive than Americans.
SMYRNA has persistently informed its readers of prominent Christian
leaders who have in one way or another betrayed our Lord Jesus
Christ by embracing anti-Christ leaders. We have covered many
items about such personalities as Billy Graham, Pat Robertson,
Jimmy Swaggart, James Dobson, Oral Roberts, Jim Bakker, Paul Crouch,
Hal Lindsey, Chuck Missler, Jack Hayford, Chuck Smith, Jack Van
Impe, Benny Hinn, Chuck Swindoll (new president of Dallas Theological
Seminary), et al. SMYRNA is concerned about leaders whose beliefs
seriously affect Christianity. We think their beliefs and acts
must be reported. The following is an example:
However, in a similar situation, he refused to go to South Africa
until 1973 because huge segments of people (blacks) were not allowed
to attend. Why didn't he go to South Africa, and when criticized
because only the "evil" controllers were attending,
he could have said, "They are the people I'm trying to reach."
Graham's apparent inconsistent behavior can be explained on the
basis of being soft on the socialists-Communists for years. His
behavior toward the Communists in the USSR is consistent with
his behavior toward the Communists in South Africa. He is praising
Nelson Mandela, a long time Communist leader by saying, "I
offer President Mandela not only my heartiest congratulations
but also my prayers for his government...(7) Graham has the same
posture toward socialist Bill Clinton, and Hillary who was a summer
understudy of Communist Robert Treuhaft.(8)
(7) "Christian News", June 13, 1994, p.3.
(8) Herb Caen, "San Francisco Chronicle", Nov. 12, 1992.
Folks, if one waits long enough and watches closely enough, one
will trap the pseudo-conservatives, pseudo-liberals, socialists,
Communists, humanists and their front people and apologists in
their inconsistent consistencies every time. That's because sooner
or later their real colors shine through.
Another Example:
In July 1992 SMYRNA published a piece about "The Last Temptation
of Hollywood", a book by Larry Poland. It is the inside story
of what happened between Universal Studios and some well known
evangelical Christian leaders prior to and after the release of
that notorious, Christian bashing film, "The Last Temptation
of Christ". Poland's book is an excellent example of the
kind of naivete that is destroying the effectiveness of Christian
salt in the world. Jesus said that His disciples are the salt
of the earth, but He also said that if that salt loses its flavor
it is good for nothing but to be trodden under foot (Matt. 5:13).
While these Christians mean well, they are heavy on maudlin love
but critically short on salt.
Many Christians have become savorless. Their refusal to be educated
about the world conspiracy is the primary cause. If Tim Penland
(a Christian who was hired by Universal Studios to act as liaison
with the Christian community at large) and Poland had been informed
about the conspiracy and had had the courage to take a stand in
the very beginning, and if the Christian leaders who worked with
them on the project had believed in such a conspiracy, they might
have prevented the entire, disgusting scenario.
Who were those leaders? Bill Bright, head of Campus Crusade for
Christ, Jack Hayford, pastor of Church on the Way in Van Nuys,
California, Lloyd Ogilvie, senior minister of Hollywood Presbyterian
Church, James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family, and Don Wildmon,
head of American Family Association.
To the credit of Don Wildmon, he wanted to blow the whistle at
the very beginning because he didn't trust Hollywood moguls. How
right he was! But he was persuaded by Penland to hold off - until
it was too late. And one gets the impression from Poland that
Wildmon was a mite too controversial, an attitude which is common
in the "progressive", politically correct, evangelical
world.
The above list of evangelical Christians, from Billy Graham to
James Dobson, may be the types of Christians Vladimir Zhirinovsky
doesn't want in Russia because they push the "Judeo-Christian"
contradiction and Zionism. Smyrna sympathizes with the Russian
people who were trashed by the Bolshevik Jews for many years.
Why should they want pro-Zionists proselytizing their people?
[BeWISE is in total agreement here! While some of these people
may have "good intentions" all too often that is the
key ingredient that paves "roads to Hell".]
The picture and caption to the right came out of literature which
sensationalizes the "mark of the beast" dogma of our
day. It is typical of the dispensationalist interpretation of
the "Book of the Revelation". The concept is taken from
chapter 13, verses 16-18: "He [the beast] also forced everyone,
small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark
on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy
or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast
or the number of his name.
"This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate
the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is
666."
The mark of the beast theory by modern millennialists claims that
the anti-Christ will be a tyrant who denies the privilege of buying
and selling to those who refuse the "mark" on their
foreheads or right hands. As pictured above, the "mark"
is the pattem of lines found on merchandise in the stores today
for pricing purposes. This illustrates their claim that each person
will be forced to take individual marks in order to survive. Those
who refuse the mark will be martyred. One speaker, Carl Sanders,
is telling everyone that a micro chip will be surgically inserted
under the skin. His credentials, however, have been discredited.
[While his credentials have been discredited, most of his information
has not. It appears that this scenario is very possible. . . -BeWISE]
There are several things wrong with this interpretation. First,
it claims that the "mark" is an individual's personal
identification, such as our social security numbers. The Scripture
above does not indicate this. It indicates that the "mark"
is the number of the beast, or the number of his name. This is
not an identification number for each human, it is the name or
number of the beast, which would be the same on everyone's forehead
or hand.
Secondly, modern dispensationalists literalize the passage, which
plays havoc with the actual meaning. Let's examine this. The Apostle
John wrote the Book of the Revelation circa A.D. 95. He used symbols
to describe most of what was revealed to him by the Lord, symbols
used by Old Testament writers (Moses, Ezekiel, Daniel, et al.).
For example, the beast describes an evil political, economic and
religious system. The woman of chapter 17 refers to the great
city which rules over the kings of the earth, which is called
Babylon, but even that name is symbolical of evil power not actually
headquartered in ancient Babylon. Babylon is typical and symbolical.
We must also interpret the "mark" symbolically. In Ezek.
8 and 9 we read about the Lord punishing idolatry among His people.
In 9:4 a "mark" is placed upon the foreheads of those
who were lamenting the sins of Israel. They were God's children
who were obedient. All the rest without the "mark" were
killed. The "mark" itself simply represented obedience
to God, identifying His own. It was not a literal, physical mark.
Again in Ezek. 3:8-9 we see that the forehead is representative
of the knowledge of and obedience to God.
In Exod. 28:36-38 a plate of gold engraved with the words "Holy
to the Lord" was worn by Aaron on his forehead as the guilt
bearer of the Israelites' sins. Again, the forehead and a mark
on it are associated with disobedience and obedience to God. The
forehead symbolized knowledge of God and obedience to Him.
Getting back to the Book of The Revelation, we find that a "mark"
on (or in) the forehead is placed on those who are marked by the
beast, and those who are marked by God Almighty. The passages
dealing with those having the evil mark are 13:16, 14:9-11, 17:5
and 20:4. Those marked by God are described in 7:3, 9:4,14:1 and
22:4. Thus we learn that the "mark" is not a physical
mark, neither is it a personal identification for man's purposes,
but rather for God's purposes of separating His own from those
who are not His.
How does one get "marked" with the seal of God? God's
approval is obtained by repentance, faith resting upon Christ,
and obedience to His word. How does one get "marked"
with the seal of the beast (Satan)? Satan's approval is obtained
by not repenting, by not having faith in Christ, and by not obeying
God's word.
[BeWISE feels without a doubt that by obeying man rather than
Yahweh God, and accepting the "Beast" world system *as is*, in order
to maintain a certain "comfort level"and not "buck
the system", ignorant and unwise Christians unknowingly accept
the mark of Satan!! The WORD states this tragedy in Hosea 4:6.]
The mark of the beast is not, and will not be a physical mark
on the forehead and the hand. Those who are barred from buying
or selling in chapter 13 are simply the servants of God, and those
who have the "mark" are not servants of God. It's that
simple.
Will the mushrooming bureaucracy in the world require some kind
of mark for each person so that buying and selling will be facilitated?
This is a definite possibility, perhaps probable. We are not underestimating
the anti-Christ system and its tyrannical control. In this age
of computers and ledger entry banking, with runaway taxing power
and every other sort of government controls, we expect that such
identifying measures will be forthcoming. But any physical mark
attached to the individual will not mean that the individual is
going to hell. Nor does lack of any such physical mark mean that
the individual is bound for heaven.
Just remember that the Book of The Revelation is written with
symbols and figures of speech and is not to be interpreted literally,
at least not in most passages. There are some that are literally
intended, but they are comparatively clear, such as the seven
letters to the seven churches in Asia Minor (1:4), although even
they are representative of all Christian churches.
Don't be fooled by modern chiliasts (millenarians, dispensationalists).
They have been taken in by a system of doctrines part of which
are as old as Talmudism, and partly as new as Darbyism and Scofieldism.
"This book is a probing, penetrating, and deeply spiritual
journey into the heart of the gospels. It brings to the reading
public many of the issues that are commonplace among Catholic,
Protestant, and Jewish scholars, and might well become the means
whereby the secularized post-Christian world discovers its own
deepest roots."
Just who is this man cloaked as a Christian bishop? He has said
that the Apostle Paul was a self-loathing, repressed gay male.
He got the idea from a work by Arthur D. Nock of Harvard, a professed
atheist.(9) From an atheist to a "Christian" bishop,
to the Westar Institute and its "The Five Gospels".
Now we know how much we can trust the Westar Institute and it's
Jesus Seminars.

WHAT ROSENBLATT DIDN'T MENTION
Conspicuously absent from Rosenblatt's revelations is the Russian
nightmare. The Bolshevik Jews conquered the Russians and committed
such heinous crimes against them that the secrets of that reign
of terror have been closely guarded. An estimated 50-65 million
souls behind the iron curtain (the Evil Empire) were destroyed,
about 12-15 million of whom were Christians. One of the reasons
for the tremendous propaganda claiming that 6 million Jews in
Europe perished has been to help hide their atrocities against
inhabitants under the Soviet boot.

A RELATED EVENT IN BUDAPEST?
"Budapest - Right-wing Hungarian politician Istvan Csurka
has blamed Israel for the Socialist victory in last week's national
elections. 'Israel directed the results of the Hungarian elections
by remote control,' Mr. Csurka wrote in the newspaper "Magyar
Forum". Mr. Csurka's Hungarian Justice Party received only
1% of the vote in the first round of voting and he was thus unable
to win reelection to his Parliament seat. The Hungarian electorate
gave a stunning victory to the Socialists, which was created by
the reform wing of the former communist party, in the May 29 elections.
They soundly defeated the ruling Hungarian Democratic Forum, to
which Osurka formerly belonged."(2)

Are James and Kenneth Collier Correct?
James and Kenneth Collier are brothers who wrote "Votescam:
The Stealing of America",(3) in which they claim that a major
fraud of vote counting is being committed in this country and
that the major news networks are in on it. This sounds too bizarre
to be seriously considered, but SMYRNA has long since learned
that the world conspirators are far more sophisticated and diabolical
than most people suspect. We also know that the Protocols revealed

IT'S YOUR MONEY!
In Aug. of 1993 SMYRNA notified its readers of the film being
shown in the "Holocaust" Museum in Washington, DC that
is severely anti-Christian. Recently, we received another letter
from Rev. Dale Crowley, Jr., who is fighting to defend the film.
Your taxes are used to promote this Christian bashing to the tune
of $15.4 million annually (over $42,000 daily). Doesn't this exercise
your righteous indignation?

CHALK ONE UP FOR LEILA DENMARK, M.D.
"On abortion: 'If I were to put the baby on the counter and
hand the mother a knife and say, 'Take its head off...,' no woman
would kill that baby - not a one. She wants a law passed so somebody
else can kill that baby for her, and then she's not to blame.
We're looking for excuses in life all the time.'"(5)
"CHRISTIAN" EXPEDIENCY
Christian Coalition, a grass roots organization begun by Pat Robertson,
is contributing to the campaigns of some Republicans who support
abortion. In a short article by Howard Phillips in his "Issues
and Strategy Bulletin",(6) he revealed that Christian Coalition's
executive director Ralph Reed admitted that the organization has
worked to elect Republicans who favor abortion rights.

WHICH JEWS ARE GOD'S CHOSEN?
Will the real "chosen ones" please stand up?
"It's God's will that the state of Israel be destroyed."
This is a quote in the Jewish "Forward" newspaper of
8/10/94 p.3, attributed to a pious Jew in a crowd of 100,000 Chasadim
gathered to welcome the Satmar Rebbe, Moshe Teitelbaum, in Jerusalem
in June. Who is the Satmar Rebbe? He is to Chasadim Jews what
Rebbe Menachem Schneerson was to Hasidic Jews. Schneerson's title
and kingship originated in Russia while Teitelbaum's came from
Hungary. But more than that, Schneerson's following believed that
the Jews have a right to the "holy land" while Teitelbaum's
community believes that Messiah must first come and lead the Jews
back to the land.

THE EEOC - KOWTOWING TO JEWISH PRESSURE
If House Resolution 4803 is enacted, "religious harassment"
in the workplace will be prosecuted. Smyrna has requested a copy
of the guidelines from our Congressman so we can discuss them
more intelligently, but judging by the flak elicited from Christians
the guidelines, if adopted, pose a serious problem for free speech.
According to some, wearing a cross or the hexagram (Israeli emblem)
at the work place could be construed as religious harassment.
Or, keeping a Bible in your desk drawer or a New Testament in
your pocket or purse, if noticed by a potential "offendee",
could anger them. As with sexual harassment, the offense would
be internreted by the offended person. For example, in Tehachapi,
CA a Jewish woman brought suit against the directors of a cemetery
where family was buried. Reason? There was a large flower bed
in the shape of a cross, and this offended her each time she visited
the place!

QUESTION OF THE CENTURY
Why do so many Christians think that Roman Catholicism is the
anti-Christ system described in the Book of the Revelation, but
Judaism is the religion of God's chosen people?

MORE ON LEADERSHIP BETRAYAL
According to Hannu Haukka as told to Dan Wooding whose article
was carried in the 4/25/94 issue of "Christian News"
(p.15), Vladimir Zhirinovsky said he would ban all Western religious
organizations in Russia if he were president. Most people probably
think this is bad news but it might not be. He later said that
his grandmother was a Baptist and that he is for Christian confessions,
meaning denominations. A letter to the editor of "Christian
News" suggested that it may be the TV evangelists that Zhirinovsky
doesn't like because they hawk Zionism and the "chosen people"
myth; Russians are fed up with Jewish power.

IF WE WAIT LONG ENOUGH & WATCH CAREFULLY...
Billy Graham's inconsistent consistency is finally shining through
with devastating results. We all remember in the early 1980's
when he was criticized for travelling to the USSR and finding
more religious freedom there than others had found. When he was
reminded that his audiences consisted largely of KGB agents and
other Communist controllers, he said, "They are the people
I'm trying to reach." He didn't complain that huge segments
of Russians were not allowed to meetings.

"THE FIVE GOSPELS"
In several previous issues of SMYRNA we have published information
about the Westar Institute and its Jesus Seminars and their destructive
tactics against the New Testament. Westar, through its publishing
house Polebridge Press, advertises its book "The Five Gospels"
in a flyer with this commendation from the Right Rev. John Shelby
Spong, Episcopal Bishop of Newark:
THANK YOU AND MAY GOD GIVE YOU HIS BEST!
SMYRNA thanks all of you who contribute and subscribe. Many of
you duplicate our newsletter and give it to others. If you aren't
doing that, why not think seriously about it?
