When I was growing up, fascism was a political term in common use. I was seven years old when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the years following saw us occupied with the defeat of fascism. I can’t say I knew what it meant. I just knew it was bad. I have this uncanny feeling that, as fascism rears its ugly head again in our world, that a lot of people still don’t know what it means. One reason I think so is because more than a few people object to the term “Islamofascism.”
Here is a definition of fascism, so we know what it is we are talking about: 1) a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition; 2) a tendency toward, or actual exercise of, strong autocratic or dictatorial control.
With Islamofascism, we add a new element—religion—into the mix. And it is beyond dispute that there is a movement afoot among some sects of Islam, to exalt Islam above the individual; that stands for centralized government headed by a dictatorial leader, that imposes severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
I had a strange sense of deja vu watching Oliver North’s “War Stories” production dealing with the death march in Bataan in the Philippines, as well as the Japanese use of slave labor in Burma. The Japanese treatment of prisoners was, excuse the term, inhuman. And the same inhuman spirit, a spirit of fascism, seems to possess some parts of Islam to this day. And I sometimes wonder if the term “inhuman” may say more than we realize.
The way the Japanese overlords treated their own soldiers as less than human gave those soldiers license to act inhumanly. And, of course, the Germans, while more civilized, were also possessed of an inhuman spirit. It has been common over the years to attribute demon possession to Adolph Hitler. What is the rest of the world to do when they come up against the absolute embodiment of evil in a man, a nation, or a movement? Especially a Christian world that follows the Prince of Peace, and believes in turning the other cheek.
Is it just possible that we don’t fully understand how a godly man might respond to the presence of evil? And by evil, I am not talking about men who steal because they want stuff. Nor men who kill out of envy or jealousy. But we are getting close when we come to serial killers. And we are even closer when we come to the Islamofascists who send children to commit suicide while blowing up women and children.
There is at large in the world a spirit of fascism that simply does not die. In World War II, the seeds of that spirit were destroyed. It is uncanny to see that spirit at work again. Oddly, it can be recognized first by a hatred of Jews. It is hard to explain on any rational basis the obsessive hatred of the Jews that persists in the world, but I think I understand what it is at the root.
At the very end of his ministry, Jesus was talking to his disciples about hatred. “If the world hate you,” he said, “ye know that it hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18). He went on to say, “He that hateth me hateth my Father also” (v. 23). And here is the bottom line. In the eyes of the world, the Jews represent God. They have refused to assimilate into the world at large and have retained their identity. And a world that hates God focuses that hatred on the Jews. Why wouldn’t they? And if all the Jews were gone, do you think the hatred would go away? No, it would fall on Christians, as it has already begun to do.
I can’t help wondering about this spirit of hatred that persists in the world. We can’t really understand it, perhaps because we don’t really like to think about it. But it should be plain to anyone that there is a spirit world that exists right alongside the world we live in. Perhaps you can recall that encounter Jesus had with the Devil. The adversary took him up to a mountain top and “showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory” (Matthew 4:8). “All this can be yours,” he said, “if you will fall down and worship me.”
I don’t think the Devil was showing Jesus the physical kingdoms of the world. I think he displayed kingdoms that he ruled—kingdoms in the spirit world. I asked above, “What is the rest of the world to do when they come up against the absolute embodiment of evil in a man, a nation, or a movement?” Let me ask further: Do you believe that it is possible to negotiate with the Devil and achieve any worthwhile end? Do you think evil can be appeased?
There was a time in Israel’s history when they were the dominant power in the Middle East. It was during the reigns of David and Solomon. The world was in a state of chaos not very different from the mess in the Middle East today. What few people realize is that if the Arabs were able to wipe out the Jews, they would start in on one another. Look at the incessant killing in Gaza. Now that the Jews are not available for killing, they are killing one another.
Civil war certainly exists among the Palestinians, and something like religious gang war is common in Iraq. And while we are losing a few American soldiers and Marines in Iraq, the Iraqis are killing one another at an appalling rate. The Arab world is gripped in a fever of killing. We in the West love life. The Islamist world loves death and practices death at every opportunity. Iran is obsessed with obtaining the greatest killing weapon of all. Nuclear weapons.
And think of this: The Saudis have far more to fear from a nuclear Iran than we do. Right now, we have 18 Ohio class submarines. These are missile subs, called Boomers. Each one carries 24 Trident missiles. Each Trident missile carries 8 independently targeted warheads. That means that the President of the United States could give the word and rain total destruction on 3,456 Arab cities and military sites. And these are not small suitcase nukes. These are the real megaton deal.
You would think that this fact would focus the minds of people like Ahmadinijad, but in fact, some would welcome death in such numbers. It would be an outcome to be relished. We won the Cold War with mutually assured destruction, because we were against an enemy who loved life. Now we have an enemy that loves death and cares nothing for nuclear retaliation—and may be motivated by a Spirit that hates God.
You cannot negotiate with this spirit. It sees negotiation as a sign of weakness to be exploited. We saw this most clearly with Adolph Hitler. We saw it again with Yasser Arafat. Why on earth didn’t the whole world know that the man was a liar, that he only used the peace process as a tool in his war to destroy Israel? There was no good will in Arafat. But then, there is no good will to be found in the Devil. And without good will, negotiations are pointless.
As World War II developed, the great powers realized they could not have another negotiated armistice as they had after the first Great War. Germany went home, licked her wounds and prepared to do it again. So they adopted a policy of unconditional surrender, and as a result, they crushed the enemy, completely demoralized them and left them with neither the will nor the means to resist. The result was they left the Japanese, Italians and Germans, in the same condition as the man out of whom Jesus cast a legion of demons. Clothed and in their right mind.
The Allies adopted a policy similar to David’s policy when he faced the chaos of the Arab world in his own day. He was the first king ever to disarm Iraq, and when the Syrians came to help the Iraqis, David soundly defeated them, put garrisons in Syria and made them pay taxes. I don’t think King David had a State Department. He realized he was fighting an implacable enemy that could not be appeased—an enemy that understood brute force and nothing else. He may even have realized that he was fighting against men who had sold their souls to the Devil.
--- In the eyes of the world, the Jews represent God. They have refused to assimilate into the world at large and have retained their identity. And a world that hates God focuses that hatred on the Jews.---
In the Islamic mind the Jews had been defeated by Mohammed himself. Their religious works had been assimilated and the Jewish people themselves reduced to house pets.
Then came Israel. How could it be? It had to be Allah's will. Islam had failed the Prophet. They must defeat Judaism again or be forever shamed, and their shame and humiliation are bottomless.
The problem of course is that Judaism was never destroyed and cannot be destroyed.
And the poor Schleppers just don't get it.
So, they actually hate G-d for the state of things.
well spoken.
The very idea that human beings have individual rights not subject to the whims of an earthly monarch, but subject to the laws of Yahweh, is directly from Moses.
Historically, this is proven over and over again with the successive conflicts between the forces of paganism and the Judaic culture. (This includes the idolatry of cultural Marxist paganism.)
A greater number of "atheists" and "pagans" adopt the same hackneyed tenets of a faux Judaic-Christian ideal (golden calf). They also subscribe to the Judaic fetishism of "sin," but will fight to their death in denial of it.
Most of them are so wrapped up in their own polemics that they have become nothing more than pathetic anti-Christians with the same false hypocritical philosophy. They just slap a new label on it hoping nobody will notice - - they replace the idea of "avoiding sin" with "morals."
Morality and all of its associated ideals are rooted entirely in the presupposition some higher power defines what is correct for human behavior.
Today, "morals" are a religious pagan philosophy of esoteric hobgoblins. Transfiguration is a pantheon of fantasies as the medium of infinitization. Others get derision for having an unwavering Judaic belief in Yahweh or Yeshua, although their critics and enemies will evangelize insertion of phantasmagoric fetishisms into secular law.
Mosaic Law (of which the Ten Commandments is just a part) is the foundation of Western Civilization. Genesis is the primary focus of the Declaration of Independence, from where our Constitutional rights are derived. The Ten Commandments are the foundation of our judicial system.
Moses wrote Genesis. This is why such people will jump up and down screaming when the Ten Commandments are displayed or the Creationist idea of monogamy from the book of Genesis is introduced.
The latter (Genesis) also ruins the illogical and non-biological arguments of homosexual monogamy. In a secular sense, homosexuality is an idolatry of perversion. It is in no way an anatomical function of the human organism, but a phantasmagoric creation from within the mentally disturbed human mind, a social psychosis, naked and on full exhibitionist display.
This is the whole crux (pun intended) of their attack on creationism - - they are really frustrated by Genesis, but cannot destroy the axiomatic state of procreant human biology, it does not fit their religious agenda.
Homosexual monogamy advocates seek ceremonious sanctification of their anatomical perversions and esoteric absolution for their guilt-ridden, impoverished egos.
Neither of those will satisfy their universal dissatisfaction with mortality or connect them to something eternal. With pantheons of fantasies as their medium of infinitization, they still have nothing in them of reality, any more than there is in the things that seem to stand before us in a dream.
Homosexual deviancy is really a pagan practice (and a self-induced social psychosis) at war with the Judaic culture over what is written in the book of Genesis (1:27, 2:18).
This is exactly what the National Socialists were at war with... so, when someone uses the terms "Feminazi" or "Gaystapo," they might not realize how close to the truth they really are, especially when you consider the NAZI eugenic breeding programs.
Many will seek ceremonious sanctification and esoteric absolution in some type of marriage rite, but that still fails to give them a connection to the eternal in both a religious and temporal, procreant sense - - the union does not produce offspring.
Dissatisfaction with inevitable mortality only feeds the impoverishment of the ego further. Homosexuals really hate human life; their whole desire is rooted in the destruction of it...
Abortion is akin to slavery... life to be bought and sold...
Contemplate the religious fervor associated with the pro-abortion advocacy. The societal practice of abortion is ritual mass murder upon the altars of conceit dedicated to idolatrous vanities, a collective human sacrifice before pagan idols.
It has a similitude to the Teutonic paganism of Adolph Hitler (whose idolatry was the idea of a "master race," among other things). In effect, these genocides are a mass human sacrifice to those pagan idols. The abortionists, like the National Socialists, incinerate the remains of their victims.
Aleister Crowley, who openly supported the National Socialists, was affiliated with Ordo Templi Orientis, Golden, A.A. (Order of the Silver Star) and other such occult lodges all across Europe. Crowley engaged in all manner of deviancy, homoeroticism, sadomasochism and murder. Much of the occultism in National Socialism is derived directly from there. Crowley envisioned himself as the Great Beast (To Mega Therion), just as der Fuhrer made himself in that image. Hitler's life as a struggling, inept artist was where that association blossomed.
Crowley's creed, "Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the Law," (which is actually from Francois Rabelais) and used by Neo-Pagan nutcases without attribution for obvious politically correct reasons, is with certainty no different than the National Socialist "will to power," or their ubermensch mentality.
It is also no accident Nietzsche's "over-man" and nihilist philosophy and resulting insanity from venereal disease closely mirrors the insanity of der Fuhrer.
These occult orders, sex and drug cults still survive today, as do the Neo-pagan, Neo-Nazi groups, black supremacist Rastafarian potheads, prison gangs and other related filth.
Crowley occultism is also from where L. Ron Hubbard emerges with Scientology. Note the NAZI symbolism of that kooky cult of weirdoes and their deviant adherents.
