The Gospel and Glenn Beck... and Jim Wallis

Well, one more post, so far.

Part of the "joy" of having a blog is that I should be able to post thoughts briefly whenever they pop up. Here are some thoughts, regarding the present battle between the "Social Justice" movement's Jim Wallis of Sojourner Magazine and Glenn Beck.

Mr. Beck is doing an excellent job on TV as I write. Maybe I can find a video to post here. Its presentation is of the highest importance in the Transnational Progressive war with America.

I greatly appreciate Glenn Beck's work, though I do not appreciate his derision of those who point out the unconstitutional process of the certification of Barack Obama to be U.S. President. I also do not appreciate his staff taking information from James Simpson (on Cloward-Piven, for instance) and not offering Jim a chance to speak to America directly, either on radio or TV. These ears have not even heard him refer to Mr. Simpson, nor his seminal and pivotal 2008 article, "Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis." Lately, it seems Beck's program takes credit for more and more of the research that goes into his broadcasts, when so often his staff is told it, sent it, and sometime I imagine, flooded with it. That bothers me a bit, especially since his work is so personally lucrative.

Oddly, that brings us back to the Gospel and wealth and wealth's redistribution. Please do see that video and yes I.O. hopes to post it here. But in the mean time, below is part of the email "signature" I have been using these last days. Perhaps you would like to meditate (i.e., ruminate, ponder) upon it, too. Do you want to know what God thinks? Then, go to His Word. Find out what He says in the Bible:

- - -
I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that
every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor — it is the gift of God.
- Ecclesiastes 3:12-13


Freely you have received, freely give.
- Jesus Christ, Matthew 10:8b; NKJV

These maxims are consistent in Scripture. God invented freedom. God opposes "progressive" socialism.


Now, I do not know whether Jim Wallis' (and Jeremiah Wright's, etc.) interpretation of Scripture is based upon a mischaracterization of the prophesy that the Lord will eventually come back, "like a thief in the night," but Jesus Christ is not Robin Hood, nor Karl Marx. God can speak for Himself -- and did.

Feel free indeed, to spread the Good News.

Barack Obama, Jim Wallis, 'Social Justice' & Marxism, via Glenn Beck & Pamela Key

Below are sequential excerpts of yesterday's Glenn Beck program -- one of the most important presentations he has ever given. Please take the time to listen to all of these and if or when you have, consider those others who should also listen to them.

Beneath these are audio clips of Jim Wallis, from which Beck draws those he used on this program. Wallis, editor of the magazine, Sojourner, is one of Barack Obama's authoritarian socialist advisers and virtually the high priest of the segment of the "Social Justice" movement which would use the Christian banner. In one of these excerpts, Wallis admits, emphatically, his redistributionist point of view, i.e., Marxism.

I may treat these more fully in an article, if I fail to see coverage on a few other Internet venues.









Thank you again, Pamela Key of Naked Emperor News, for your typically excellent and very important audio/video research.

Obama's Assault on the Church, via the EPA

In the kind of move forseen last year by Brannon Howse, the Obama administration is attempting to gain a foothold of ministerial (pardon the pun) influence over American churches, this by means of the pagan god, Gaia and the religion of environmentalism. It is to be accomplished through the EPA, a tender thought from souls of the likes of Marxist tacticians, Joel Rogers, Van Jones, and that old fellow sojourner, Jim Wallis.

Do we need to care for the earth? Yes, that is among Adam's charges. Do we need the Church to be directed by government, to fulfill the deceitful schemes of thieving profiteers seeking global, Marxofascist governance? I know you can answer that question, too.


Alas, the above were only a few minutes of Glenn Beck's program, Tuesday 5/18/2010. His guests, Liberty University President, Jerry Falwell, Jr., J.D. and Peter Lillback, Ph.D., President of Westminster Seminary and author of George Washington's Secret Fire, were excellent. Lilliback suggests to Christians which, unlike the aforementioned Wallis, generally accept the actual words of the Bible, in the order God had them put, that they look into the Manhattan Declaration regarding Christians' role in our society (something I signed a few weeks or months ago, or so, thank the drafters). I am writing this just after the 1am Central Time rerun of Beck and manhattandeclaration.org is not coming up for me. I think it is very busy. Excellent.

Another suggestion, to fight man-made global Marxofascism, please ask and promote The Three SOVEREIGNTY NOW Questions meekly offered you. I mean please ask these questions of your politicians and candidates and promote them to electoral action groups and to your compatriots, so they may do the same. Thank you. Kentucky's Rand Paul talks about the importance of upholding the critical American sovereignties and how they are being attacked by global, anti-American interests, and look how he just won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator. Americans can welcome real solutions, when they are presented.

Now, Christians in all congregations must be informed of this new strategic attack and church leaders must be called out, on it. They must be asked, "Do you support our freedom of religion and the constitutional, equal justice which is the authorized political principle of this land, or do you favor knuckling under to the counterfeit 'social justice' of statist, neo-Marxist rebellion?"

Or, use your own words, but please do not mince words. If that is done and in response to this threat, sensible, God-responsible care is "freely given," by individual Christians acting in concert, for the actual and most acute needs in our society and world, then the Obamunists will be doing us a favor. - AW

I've Been Thinking about the Way the President Takes Care of America

by Marie Jon, RenewAmerica.com analyst, published there on June 21, 2010

I've been thinking and thinking about the way President Barack Obama has been taking care of our country. And my emotional reaction has been one of sadness, anger, shock, disgust, and dismay.

For most Americans, as well, the news of the day has become a bit too much concerning the state of the Union. We feel abandoned, bullied, pushed, and intimidated by our "historical" president. Dare I say he seems to have some issues?

Frankly, Obama's recent address to the nation did little more than add insult to injury. He gave no answers that made any sense. He only became "wee weed up" while spending a great deal of his time telling us we can no longer depend on oil and shamelessly pandering his green energy propaganda.

Outmoded fear-mongering

On Hannity the other evening, my colleague Erik Rush nailed it while discussing his new book titled Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal — America's Racial Obsession. The Democrat Party purposefully misleads people of color by reinforcing their fears, Erik pointed out. And certain pastors in the black community do the same, he noted. Within too many of the sanctuaries of black churches, the congregants are made to feel that the world is against them. From the pulpit, these same pastors will look to government, rather than to God's instruction for taking personal responsibility. In John 10:10, Christ says, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The apostle John writes, "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers" (3 John 1:2).

We were told throughout Obama's campaign that if it were possible, he would bring racially-diverse Americans closer together than ever before. I viewed this promise as empty rhetoric because, like my friend Erik, I do not believe for one moment that America is deeply embedded in racial problems. We moved forward a long time ago. Americans intermarry and raise wonderful children together. And anyone can be whatever he or she chooses to be when they are willing to put their mind and effort to it. This is 2010, and we're not gawking at the color of each others' skin.

However, ever since the Obamas moved into the White House, we've heard — with incessant racial-mindedness — something much different. Americans of all nationalities and ethnicities on the conservative side are not going to tolerate or embrace the progressives' downtrodden, race-baiting lies being tossed out in the public arena. We're in touch with the heart of America. The radical liberals are not. Have you seen the recent polls?

Bigotry masquerading as religion

When Rev. Jeremiah Wright first stepped onto the political scene, he opened the door to unabashed bigotry. For the very first time, most Americans were shocked to learn about Black Liberation theology. It had nothing to do with biblical Christianity whatsoever. It was about hatred of others who happened to be of European white descent. Liberation theology also has to do with being anti-Semitic.

There in an ungodly mix is a theology that demands a payback of sorts. It's about what some white and black people did during the very distant past days of slavery. And sadly, in the minds of some, it does not matter what was accomplished during the Civil War. It does not matter what Martin Luther King, Jr., accomplished in the 60's as Americans came together for heart-felt healing.

Today, we actually do have open bigotry. Let's call it out where it exists. It emanates from those who want to continually live off the bygone past. There are race baiters within the worlds of politics, media, and faith. The number of such radicals serving with the president is staggering. We should be more outraged. We need to ask why other politicians continue to give this president and his corrupt cabinet any respect, much less the time of day.

Marxists posing as Christians

Pastors of many denominations are in close contact with Rev. Jim Wallis, an openly avowed socialist/Marxist who is a member of President Obama's "Faith Council" and is described as a spiritual adviser to the president. These pastors are behind the scenes busily helping the president. They're defiantly cheering Obama on as he becomes more unbending and aloof in his thoughts. Yes, he is a master at working out a very successful strategy of redistribution of wealth, or what is cleverly called "social justice." If anyone of importance says one word against the president or his big-government policies, they are demonized.

Americans need to understand the destructive role that churches and pastors of once-conservative denominations are playing. They have allowed progressives into their fold and given them high offices within their churches. They stand ready to help re-elect Obama. They will gladly help him pass his green agenda — Cap and Trade. These denominations are no longer America's friend. The United Council of Churches consists of little more than progressive ideologues. They neither love their country nor respect the Word of God. They are on the side of tyranny. Any denomination that mirrors their teachings should be viewed with suspicion. "While I pray that God will have mercy on their souls, we must show them no mercy politically. They are but another well-organized group of traitors to this nation" — Erik Rush.

Excerpts from "What Exactly Is 'Social Justice'?"

In a May 16 article at American Thinker, Jayme Sellards writes:

"The term 'social justice' is now commonly used by leftist activists, clergy, educators, judges, and politicians to describe the goal they seek to achieve with many of their policies. No precise definition of 'social justice' is ever offered by the left. Instead, the term is always used in a vague way — as if everyone already knows, or should know, what the seemingly well-intentioned phrase 'social justice' means.

"So, what exactly is 'social justice'?

"Social justice is the complete economic equality of all members of society. While this may sound like a lofty objective, what it really means is that wealth should be collected by the government and evenly distributed to everyone. In short, social justice is communism. It is rooted in the Marxist idea that the money people make and the property they own do not rightfully belong to the people who make the money and own the property." Full Article

Deceptive faith

It seems that when faith and the biblical gospel message should be at the apex in rebuilding America's moral and material stamina, we as a nation are thrown into more chaos. To understand what is happening to our country, we need to understand Obama's faith. Only then will our eyes see our unfortunate destiny.

The president will not handle our foreign allies with dignity or respect because he has none for them. It's absolutely shameful how Israel has been treated by this president and his czarist administration. Matters of a deceptive faith held by the president have everything to do with why our country is being purposely trashed and dismantled.

Welcome to Obama's America. How do you like socialism? The progressive, quasi-Christian faith of Black Liberation Theology will lead our country right into the throes of Marxism. And let it be known that Obama has never denounced his anti-Christian belief system. So please, Mr. President, do not talk about Jesus Christ to born-again Christians who have the gift of discernment. You're not up to their spiritual "pay grade."

Plenty to fear

As we wrestle with the fact that a once-thriving free-market society has been taken to the woodshed by a narcissistic, vengeful man, there is plenty of fear to go around. How does one reckon with a president who personally believes he has the right to mete out social justice to all of America?

How is social justice applied? In plain English, the process is denigrating. It takes away personal liberties, property, and money from hard-working people and fritters them away in big government programs steeped in nebulous, sweeping agendas. It reaches across the abyss to punish an entire nation.

This mindset belongs to a president who wants to force a new view upon our country in a short period of time. Obama is changing America's image for his own sake and in dogmatic deference to those who've shaped his way of thinking. His father was a communist and his mother was a Marxist sympathizer.

Look what the tide brought in

Week after week, we see disaster looming on the horizon. America's president can't be counted on to tackle an emergency such as the BP oil spill. It's now become a scandalous nightmare for both man and animal.

Where was Obama's concern for the people? What about the beautiful helpless creatures that are dying from the thick sludge? So much for the care of Mother Earth!

Thirteen anxious, committed foreign countries and the UN stand ready to help with the rescue effort — yet the president has turned them away. And for what reason wouldn't he waive the Jones Act? Regardless of the spin Vice President Joe Biden gives, there have been no overtures from the White House to clear the way so foreign vessels will feel comfortable committing their time and energy to help clean up the mess.

People believe that Obama's hesitation to allow other nations to help us clean up the spill has more to do with big unions than the constraints of federal laws that a president can set aside when need be, as President G.W. Bush did during the Katrina disaster. Who in a rational state of mind would behave so unconscionably? Obama is instrumental in the destruction of our ecological system, along with people's livelihoods.

What type of a man would willfully turn down desperately needed help that could spare our ocean and shores and secure our wildlife? Here is a picture of a man we need to vote out of office. He and his so-called "social justice" have done enough to bring this magnificent country to its knees.

The Obama Files, from Trevor Loudon's New Zeal Blog

UPDATE 5/23/2010 - The Awakening welcomes Trevor back, this Monday 5/24, 9-11pm ET.
Click here for this net-radio program's page, to remind yourself via email and to listen, live.
5/20 - Before I.O. was placed on the shelf for a few weeks, we had begun to carry the critically incisive articles of Trevor Loudon, which he posts in the blog, New Zeal. Interviewing this great downunder patriot was a distinct privilege, that via The Awakening, on a September 28th Monday of last year: (listen here now, visitors).

Trevor told us how he tripped across Van Jones and a vast network of Marxist red in the green movement. He explained how the global Marxofascist insurrection does what they do -- especially as they focus upon their prized prey, America -- including working "hand in glove" with radical Islamists. While Obama's Marxist development and his current comrades are the chief subject matter of the interview, Trevor also gives us some very well seasoned advise, still very pertinent, if you'll let him.

One way or another, we look forward to keeping up with Trevor and his work on a regular basis. And of course, New Zeal is listed in the "Obama Insurrection Research" section of the I.O. Sidebar.

You will find many names below, of unfortunate people and their conspiratorial and organizational doings -- including those Mr. Loudon has just recently introduced to the world's defenders of freedom. Just look.
