| Friday, May 20, 2005 Bible Reading Against the Law religious viewpoint being taught as the real or more correct. This is America, all viewpoints are equally sacred and are equally protected. The Torah, the Bible, the Koran are all equally one harmonious expression of, "Do no harm". Promoting one particular viewpoint has the potential of doing harm. Certainly the Rutherford institute is not for promoting the potential of harm. Bob Harris, Charlottesville, Virginia Thursday, May 19, 2005 Rutz Interview-Thank You! Lynn Schirmer www.lynnsart.net RE: Rutherford Institute Attorneys File First Amendment Lawsuit on Behalf of Mother Prevented from Reading Bible Passage for 'Favorite Book' Project I am saddened by your recent lawsuit which has punished Christians and non-Christians alike in our small school district. Why go to the court and so shame yourself in the process? Why not go to the local Christians first for mediation and reconciliation? Our school district has been more than fair to home schooled children and other people of faith in the past. This issue could have been worked out without the current animosity. You should have given peace a chance before resorting to legal warfare. No doubt this serves your fundraising needs, but you have not served Christ in this. Jim Hurd 1 Cor 6:1-8 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. Ritual Abuse and a world gone nuts Mr. Whitehead, This kind of conspiracy sounds far fetched. But given the things that have happened over the years, including Operation Paperclip, the tragic story of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart in California, the sterilization of women by American doctors from 20s through 75, the success of the abortion and euthanasia movement in the US, the infiltration of Catholic seminaries by sexual predators - mostly pederasts rather than pedophiles, the numbers of prochoice, pro-euthanasia advocates in the US clergy, who are members of such groups as NAMBLA, NARAL, and even the acceptance in the US military of "covens" of witches - nothing surprises me any more. A few years back Joe Farah of WND was trounced by the wiccans who blasted him for his intolerance towards wiccans - many wrote and said how conservative they were and deserved to be 'tolerated' and accepted. Okay -- but frankly, I think we are in the end times - those days could go on for decades - but we are witnessing what Christ and the apostles claimed would take place in the end of the world as we know it. Just read a wonderful book by Michael O"Brien - Father Elijah and also Msgr. Hugh Benson's epic - Lord of the World - both books describe what is happening in our age of moral relativism and outright evil which even has a hold on so called "good people" Christians, and anyone who claims to be Christian. Yet it appears more likely a false doctrine or a scouting party for the spirit of anti-Christ which even John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger claim is in the world today. How difficult it is to talk and write about all this without sounding as though a dozen tin foil helmets are in the closet waiting to be worn, or chem trails to be chronicled, or black helicopters to be monitored. Nonetheless, it is apparent that we live in strange times among deluded people. SO it wouldn't surprise me if ritual abuse was not a part of an effort to manipulate and control human beings in these end days - and by those in authority. Anyway, the good guys win in the end - Thank God. Regards Diane Alden Carrollton, Georgia Ritual Abuse Thank you for exposing the truth on ritual abuse. I wanted to let you know about my website, in case you had not seen it. http://truthbeknown2000.tripod.com/Truthbeknown2000/index.html Warmly, Ellen P. Lacter, Ph.D., Psychologist in San Diego, CA Ritual Abuse commentary - THANK YOU! I wanted to send a copy of this to you, too. Carol Rutz let us know about the commentary. THANK YOU for doing it! We are trying so hard to get the word out, but it seems that we have a very long way to go, yet. I'm only half-joking when I say that the perps did us a favor by teaching us endurance. : > Kathleen Sullivan -------Original Message------- From: Kathleen Sullivan Date: 05/17/05 11:09:45 Subject: Re: Commentary: Ritual Abuse: The Attack on Our Children To all: Although people close to Dr. Hammond advised me that he became silent after his speech because of serious threats made to him concerning family members, the Rutherford commentary (below) shows that his speech continues to have a powerful impact. I was in shock when I first read the transcript of Dr. Hammond's speech, because I had remembered - and journaled - the exact same "Greek alphabet programming" two years earlier. His speech was a real gift in that I could no longer deny my emerging memories of what had been done to me. I also chose to use Dr. Hammond as a role model, because of his courage in going public. Thank you, Dr. Hammond. Kathleen Sullivan President, North American Freedom Foundation (NAFF) http://naffoundation.org Ritual Abuse: The Attack on Our Children I get much out of your articles. J. Ritchie Tuesday, May 17, 2005 about Ritual Abuse: The Attack on our Children Cory Hammond's courageous information in '92 was jsut the tip-of-the-iceberg, an initial introduction, particularly with the connection to the CIA's secret programs like MKultra, Pandora's Box, Project Chatterbox (plus more). The technologies used in mind control of infants and children, both through ritual abuse and government/military involvement, is much more horrific than most people want to believe and continues today. Bringing the Nazi doctors over through the Rat Line and Project Paperclip, including Mengele by-the-way, gave our government the knowledge and skills it needed to experiment in the most inhumane ways. The acceleration of the programming through advanced technology is already happening. And I also know that the technologies that create the splitting, can also be used to heal. Dr. Hammond's statement that it starts at 2 1/2 years old is very outdated...let's say in utero would be accurate. And after birth, the abuse and torture continues to create Dissociative Identity Disorder. Millions of adults walk around in dissociated alter states due to this kind of abuse, still being physically and psychically accessed without consciously knowing it, some even when attempting to heal through therapy. I'm a minister, clinical hypnotherapist and co-editor of the book, Multiple Journeys to One: Spiritual Stories of Integrating from Dissociative Identity Disorder and have been working with survivors of abuse for 17 years. The stories I have heard and witnessed, and the pain and suffering of these people are unfathomable. And yet they are alive and want to heal. And healing is possible as well as integration of all fragmented alter personalities and states. This gives credence to the strength and courage of the human spirit and the resilency of the mind. These people are remembering, but will you believe them? Rev. Judy Dragon Santa Rosa, CA ritual abuse article Thank you for writing and posting the article: "Ritual Abuse: The Attack on Our Children," and for calling for a congressional investigation of the government-funded mind control programs described by Dr. Hammond." You wrote: "Of course, it is difficult to substantiate these statements. But assuming that Dr. Hammond has exposed a horrendous program, it is well beyond time for a congressional investigation, followed by a systematic effort to ferret out the maniacs responsible." Early this year, survivors of such programs and their advocates lobbied their respective Congress persons (between 50 and 60 letters and advocacy packets were sent out) to investigate these atrocities. To date, not one of our representatives (that I am aware of) has responded to their pleas. For your readers who are interested in learning more about these programs so that they can contact their representatives calling for a congressional investigation, the advocacy packet is posted at: http://www.morningcomequickly.com/MC%20Advocacy%20Packet.htm A mind control survivor's informational pamphlet is posted at: http://www.lynnsart.net/connect.htm Both the advocacy packet and the pamphlet may be distributed freely. Sincerely, Wanda Karriker, Ph.D. www.MorningComeQuickly.com Monday, May 16, 2005 Thanks for Nazi Article! John, Thank you very much for the Nazi scientist article and also, a while back, for the great tribute article about Phil Berrigan. You may know about this website/organization that is tracking U.S. plans to militarize space: www.space4peace.org. Your articles are great and many of us hear loud and clear what you are getting at (or at least we think we do). Thank you! Rev. Tom Warren United Church of Christ Pleasant Hill, TN Not on My Watch I look forward to your commentaries emailed each Monday. Thank you for your insights and speaking out on important issues. I agree with you that we have been lax in responding to the Sudanese crisis. Certainly the perceived "wink and nod" is woefully inadequate. Despite the severity of the situation, I would agree with President Bush--though I disagree with so many other of his acts--that turning it over to the ICC would be opening the proverbial Pandora's box, and would indeed implement that which the Socratic statement you quoted at the beginning of your commentary opposes. In no case would I agree to use the ICC for any purpose, which transgresses the sovereignty of nations and imposes, as the judicial system here in the US has been doing to US citizens, its oligarchical mandates on all people of the world. Indeed, opposing evil with more evil is not the answer. Philip Johnson Freedom of Religion This country was supposedly built by those seeking religious freedom. Yet, our so-called forefathers told the natives they were savages and converted them to Christianity and enslaved Africans who they felt were not human, but were the real builders of America. So, it is no surprise that religious freedom is not afforded to all. Perhaps our so-called founding fathers thought everyone would practice their religion. If praying and reading the bible in school is "forcing one's beliefs on others," then isn't not allowing those who want to practice their beliefs in school taking their religious freedom away? Perhaps if there was prayer in school, our children would have a stronger foundation to rely on when they feel suicidal or homicidal. On the issue of marijuana, there have been so many movies that idealise the Native American use of Peote for spiritual enlightenment, yet none advocating marijuana for the same use. In fact, Rastafarians have suffered much ridicule for the use of marijuana and the wearing of dreadlocks and no regard is given to other aspects of the faith. Many Rastas suffer discrimination for wearing locks because they are looked upon as dirty hippies, though the Nazarene vow, as it is called, is in the bible as Mr. Whitehead referenced. This is the same bible that so-called Christians read. Rastas didn't change it, though the self-absorbed establishment has. (They just didn't realize that certain truths contrary to their beliefs of what is acceptable were left in.) The biggest problem with Rastafarians is that we believe God, Jah, is black, a concept too painful for most of America to accept. The point is, America is full of hypocrites. The founders fled to "America" in search of religious "freedom," yet freedom is and always has been subjective in this country. If we want to truly be free, we must allow others to be. If states can find a way to allow people to slowly kill themselves without disburbing others by creating smoking and non-smoking areas, then why can't they let others practice their faith without impeding on someone else? M.W. Wednesday, May 11, 2005 Mother of a Soldier and a Marine Dear John, Your current article about our "hidden" wounded soldiers tells me that you are not a veteran. I am an Air Force veteran and have twin sons now serving. I will only speak for myself but I do not want your voyeurism. The military's attitude towards this issue is in response to the members and their families. Do the soldiers want their families there? Of course they do. Do they want reporters there? NO. Civilians do not care about military lifestyle until they can exploit it. Showing wounded only serves that "sick" purpose. Stay away. We don't miss you. Vivian Pollock Monday, May 09, 2005 Freedom of religion Freedom of religion means freedom of ANY religion. are you going to support the person that had problems because their choice of religion is Wicca? I do not think that that religious material of any kind should be allowed in the classroom. Why? Because it is discriminitory. What about those that are Islamic, Budhist, Hindu, Jewish, Wiccan, or any others that are not concidered mainstream Christianity. If you allow the bible in it discriminates against those of us who do not believe the way you believe. Is that fair? Are schools just going to become extensions of the church? Are schools going to segregate classes into Christian and non Christians?Are non Christians going to be able to walk out of the classroom because they do not believe in the religious text that is being read? If the Bible is read the I should be albe to where a pentagram and carry my Grimour or my Budhist Prayer beads and chant or perform spells its the same as prayer is it not? I got fired for my beliefs because I was told that I was advocating witchcraft, which I was not, my philosophy is everyone has a right to belive the way they want, but NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO SHOVE IT DOWN THE THROAT OF ANOTHER. Are you going to represent me because I was fired for my beliefs? I believe in the rights of everyone not just me. It seems that you are very onesided. Respectfully Doni Miller Comment on story of 7-26-04 I love the work you do and your ability to see through the clutter we all seem to inflict on ourselves, but was surprised by the following story. Churches and the Corrupting Influence of Politics John W. Whitehead 7/26/2004 My comments: The dividing line is clearly drawn around abortion and the democrats are such a strong force over this issue, I can't see how churches can't get involved in leading the way on this issue. The tendency of Christians to stand back and except things is a flaw that requires strong individuals like pastors and priests and yourself to lead the way. Just look at Sen. Kennedy and Sen. Kerry and you can see the failure of "Preach-lite." We are talking about the "Culture of Death" and it's led by our own. Was there anyone or any institution that should not have gotten involved in stopping the Nazi Holocaust? Keep up the good work, John Sharry Article regarding Parent reading in classroom This is so typical of decisions by teachers, administrators and school board attorneys all over the country, showing, not only their absolute ignorance of decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding religious activities in public schools, but more importantly, the hostility towards religion in general and Christianity in particular. However, I do believe that part of the problem is those of faith who perpetuate the belief that "prayer and Bible reading have been taken out of the public schools". That never has happened, and for anyone who understands the concept of prayer, realizes it can never happen. Students can pray any time they want and can read their Bible at any time, as long as those activities do not interfer with the educational program of the school. In fact, I am rather certain that there are students praying in my classroom on just about every test day!! Ronney Harris, public school teacher American Government and American History Wednesday, May 04, 2005 My thoughts P.J. Haenelt, Jr Sacramento RD, Lincoln NF Tuesday, May 03, 2005 Pulpit Puppets Thank you. V.L. Elliott Ohio. Monday, May 02, 2005 Thanks Thank you for writing your commentary on Project Paperclip. The tragic thing about this subject is that the project was not just perpetrated on U.S. soldiers, but the children of military families, examples being: Annie McKenna who tells her true story in her book, Paperclip Dolls and Carol Rutz in her autobiography, A Nation in Denial. Anyone who even dares to insist that these clandestine activities continue today are unequivocally branded "mentally ill" for life. For anyone being targeted for these inhumane experiments, the nightmare never ends. I am writing to request that you would please consider writing a special "Prayer to End Torture" for those of us who depend upon our faith in a loving God to overcome. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Denise Fletcher Consumer/Survivor |
