LYNDON B. JOHNSON MUZZLED THE MORAL VOICES OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN CIVIL DISCOURSE BY HIS 501(C)(3) AMENDMENTS ON JULY 02, 1954
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE MEDIA ^ | SEPTEMBER 9, 2021

Johnson’s political muzzling silenced the primary moral and religious voices that Founder John Adams said were essential to the life of the Republic..

In 1954, then freshman U.S. senator Lyndon B. Johnson was running for re-election in a hotly-contested Democratic primary against fellow-Democrat State Representative Dudley T. Dougherty.

THE NEW DEAL WITH THE DEVIL IN 1954: GIVE UP YOUR MORAL AND FREE SPEECH RIGHTS IN EXCHANGE FOR TAX WRITE-OFFS In the heat of that 1954 Texas primary campaign, Johnson introduced his now infamous “Johnson Amendment” in the U.S. Senate. His revisions further restricted the free speech of churches and religious organizations in elections if they wished to maintain their tax-exempt status.

...

During his 1954 campaign, two non-profits were being effective against Johnson: Facts Forum, funded by H.L. Hunt. Facts Forum was supporting a hard anti-communist line, especially in the wake of the Insitutute of Pacific Relations (IPR) Congressional expose of unmistakable U.N. and State Department communist infiltration.

The other non-profit was the Committee for Constitutional Government (CCG), a opponent of Roosevelt’s New Deal legislation that was so favorable to the British Pilgrims Society globalist political agenda. Against Johnson’s re-election, CCG had distributed 82 million pieces of literature, made over 100,000 radio transcriptions, sent 350,000 telegrams, and issued thousands of news releases. CCG was adamantly opposed to Johnson’s election and vociferously supported Dougherty—and Johnson suspected Facts Forum was clandestinely backing CCG.

However, other tactics were of a different character which reflected a more aggressive campaigning style and indicated that Johnson was willing to pursue a number of different tactics to rout his opponent.

It is apparent from both inter- and intra-office correspondence that both these organizations figured prominently in Johnson’s decision to enact the prohibition.

...

Notably, NBC TV (then run by long-time British Pilgrims Society RCA/NBC David Sarnoff sycophant) kicked off the air Johnson’s Democratic Senate opponent, Dudley Dougherty, who was being interviewed favorably along with long-time Johnson political opponent, Coke Robert Stevenson., Stevenson was then Texas governor who Johnson narrowly beat in the 1938 Senate elections by 87 votes. Stevenson remained Texas governor until 1947.

Johnson had threatened to sue NBC over that interview. The Hearst Corporation had ordered the NBC censorship in response to the Johnson threat. Randolph Hearst was a member of the British Pilgrims Society and had been mentored by Pilgrims Society co-founder W.T. Stead, Cecil Rhodes’ biographer and necromancer.

On the surface, Johnson introduced his 501(c)(3) amendment because he was fearing polls that showed a strong Roman Catholic opposition (Germans, Hispanics, Polish and Czech) to him as a Protestant.

However, hindsight shows that the Pilgrims Society United Nations proponents were worried about the growing anti-communist political movements in the country.

Christian churches were strongly aligning and outwardly vocal about the anti-Christian actions of communists worldwide.

The Johnson Amendment effectively silenced the moral voices of the Christian Church against the immorality of communism.

Mainstream history propaganda describes Johnson’s opponents as rabid anti-communist McCarthy-ites. However, before McCarthy was the McCarran Committee that issued a scathing and thorough expose of the formation of the U.N. by the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR) and its stanchly communist principals.

Johnson’s amendment was added to the legislation without debate.

This effective silencing of the Christian perspective in civil discourse has been devastating to America. It violates Founder John Adam’s admonition that:

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Lyndon Johnson, a Pilgrim Society member, became the unelected 36th president after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. That assassination was perpetrated by the British Pilgrims, no question. During Johnson’s unelected presidency, he escalated the War in Vietnam and massively expanded the welfare state in America.

In short Johnson was a stooge of the British Pilgrims Society and its new world order plans.

...

JOHNSON AMENDMENT (Jul. 02, 1954) TRANSCRIPTION: On July 2, 1954, Senator Lyndon Johnson was recognized from the Senate floor and the following colloquy occurred:

Mr. JOHNSON of Texas: Mr. President, I have an amendment at the desk, which I should like to have stated.

The PRESIDING OFFICER: The Secretary will state the amendment.

The CHIEF CLERK: On page 117 of the House bill, in section 501(c)(3), it is proposed to strike out “individuals, and” and insert “individual,” and strike out “influence legislation.” And insert “influence legislation, and which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office.”

Mr. JOHNSON of Texas: Mr. President, this amendment seeks to extend the provisions of section 501 of the House bill, denying tax-exempt status to not only those people who influence legislation but also to those who intervene in any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for any public office. I have discussed the matter with the chairman of the committee, the minority ranking member of the committee, and several other members of the committee, and I understand that the amendment is acceptable to them. I hope the chairman will take it to conference, and that it will be included in the final bill which Congress passes.

. . . The amendment was agreed to [Without debate].

Seriously. If you had to make a list of presidents who did their damnedest to wreck this country on multiple fronts, I don’t know how LBJ wouldn’t be at or near the top of the list. Biden & Obama would likely join him in the Top 5.

1963, Jimmy Hoffa was playing cards in his hotel room with Joey Glimco and their lawyers, when Hoffa asked what would happen if something were to happen to Bobby, or “Boo-bee” as he called him, Kennedy. The group responded that John Kennedy would “be so pissed off he would probably replace him with somebody who is a bigger son of bitch then Bobby is.”

After a short silence, Hoffa asked, “But what would happen if something happened to John Kennedy?” and the answer was, “Lyndon Johnson would become President and replace ‘Boo-bee’ as his first act.”

AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE MEDIA ^ | SEPTEMBER 9, 2021:

No problem if a liberal pastor/preacher or key church member touted and praised democrat issues/points during a service.

All hell might break loose if a republican dared to try and discuss a conservative/republican issues/points from the front of the church or in a meeting room.

Johnson, one of the worst presidents that some have described as a sociopath. (Biden is the worst imaginable, a person who struggled to utter a coherent sentence.)

The whole damned, entire, bunch of dimocrats and RINOs and all the other has-beens, never-weres, crap smelling bunch of a-holes in Sodom on the Potomac are ALL, to a man and woman, against Christianity, against freedom, against free speech, against men and women of this Republic being able to work, live, grow their families, support the Republic, attend Church, live in peace, and vote in honest elections!! The entire mob are for the One World Government crap. This mob has been growing their takeover of the world for over 3,000 years!! Believe it or not.

BUT the Book of Daniel in the Holy Bible reveals the coming OWG and all the garbage that we are now living in. It is there. Read it with an open mind and use a good Study Bible, John MacArthur's or David Jeremiah's both are good Study Bibles. Also use Strong's Concordance to assist you in your further research as you read and study it. Read Daniel slowly and you can pick out and understand the coming OWG and the takeover of the world by ONE man, that man of Sin, the Anti-Christ!! He is alive and out there today. Satan always had/has his candidate ready should the End Times begin. I believe that man is out there today. Ready to go. He probably does not even know that he is THE ONE. But all those things written about these Last Days of human existence in the Bible are starting to come together. Most Bible Scholars call it conversion. All those things written that are coming together, converging, coming together, are here. Believe it or not my friends. If you are not Saved and don't believe, then you do so at your own peril. You say you don't believe, again, you'd better be correct because if you are wrong, well . . . . . . . . at your own peril. Take it seriously. Daniel makes it clear what is coming. Several other Books also reveal the coming Last Days.

My dad was a Democrat until LBJ showed up. He changed his voter registration to independent and never voted for another RAT the rest of his life.

The BLOOD of 58,000+ men and women of the US Military Services are on the hands of LBJ and MacNamara. They are also responsible for all the millions of injuries, mental issues, physical problems, suicides by disturbed military personnel from that so called Police Action. It was NO police action. It was a pure damned shooting and dying WAR!!! I thank my GOD that I survived alive though I was wounded and carry that, and other disabilities brought on by that war and my military service. I don't know one career military veteran that does not have one or more mental or physical disabilities brought on by our service. We paid with our health and bodies!! I endured three surgeries because of my wounds while on active duty. I will, next month, endure my SIXTEENTH surgery since 2008, all because of military service. Toss in 67 epidural procedures in my spine also.

Almost to a man and woman, every veteran that I am still in touch with have all endured many surgeries, epidural procedures, knee and shoulder replacements, and back surgeries. Some suffer from Agent Orange contamination and suffer mental issues. And the US congress claims that VA is where we should go for help. Tell that to all those veterans out in Arizona that died awaiting appointments and procedures a few years back. Thing is, like my several good, retired friends, we would all, do it again. Because we all loved this Republic and wanted to serve our nation and its people. I retired just before the Sec Defense and the Service Secretaries with congressional approval, changed the military retirement system and instead of collecting 1/2 of your final month's base pay as promised for 20+ years of service, they now have to open a 401k plan and the gov tosses in their penance pennies to assist you. We and our families had free medical care at any military hospital. Now, they have to pay for their families to get medical care. If you are thinking of entering the military, check carefully all that they SAY you will earn, get, for your service. Then make your decision. Just one man's opinion.

LBJ, Wilson, FDR, bammy, China 🇨🇳 Jo. The five most damaging residents we’ve had. Each have a stain on them. All are bad. LBJ may be the most damaging to the Republic. He and FDR massively expanded the gubmint. There are no redeeming qualities of any of them.

He was truly evil and probably the most destructive traitor to occupy the white house. Obama was able to infiltrate because of the groundwork laid by LBJ the demonic commie.

Obama is still the greatest America hater and is bent on the continuous destruction of the America he detests.

And Michelle Obama just received $3.5 million from the Omnibus bill.

Factual errors in this article Lyndon Johnson did not run for the United States Senate in 1938. He was in the United States Congress at that time he did not run for the United States Senate until 1947 and he ran against Koch Stevenson, this person who wrote the article couldn’t even get the facts straight.

Well if churches want to engage in political discourse then also let them pay taxes...income and property. That would end this politics, liberal or conservative, in church nonsense real fast.
