There are more lions and tigers in the United States than in the far east and or
africa. There are more of these creatures in America, in Zoo's and private
collectors alive than in the continents that they come from. The second part of
this trivia, is most "foot ball coliseums "are shaped and designed like the great coliseum in Rome,
hummmmm....... just a thought, if ya can connect the dots.
A Masterpiece of Propaganda
Mr. Christian, this book’s author, presents documentation that the movie
studio which produced the Gladiator epic actually admits in one of its own
publications that the movie is patterned after what is arguably considered to
be the 20th century’s greatest mind control cinematic production, the
celebrated Hitlerian documentary, Triumph of The Will, directed by famous
German photographer Leni Reinfenstahl. In a separate book accompanying
the movie, its makers reveal:”
“Gladiator Director Ridley Scott wanted Commodus’s grand entrance into
Rome to echo Nazi-era propaganda films like Leni Reifenstahl’s Triumph of
The Will.
We cannot, based on the present evidence, maintain with certainty that its
director or producers desired their acclaimed movie, Gladiator, to be endowed
with monumental satanic powers to program and channel men’s minds and
energies in the direction of evil. But such a purpose cannot be ruled out. It
has been my observation that many, many men and women in a variety of
professions—from architects to artists, authors, medical doctors, and movie
producers—are being led, often without their conscious knowledge, into
wicked paths in order to influence the masses.
Possibly, this is also true of movie director Ridley Scott and others involved in
the making of Gladiator. Oftentimes, those who provide Satan with the most
magnificent service are wholly unaware that their talents are being used for
evil. That is the tragedy of unregenerated man and his modern culture.
Subversive Movies
In a recent edition of The Lofton Letter, my friend, the astute commentator
John Lofton, wrote of how one particular classic Hollywood movie was
originally produced with the specific intent of effecting societal change
through the implantation of certain religious images, motives and goals.
Lofton related:
There I was watching cable TV ("American Movie Classics”), a program called
“Backstory” which gives us inside info about how a movie was made. The
particular flick this night is one of my favorites, the 1951 classic, The Day The
Earth Stood Still.
OK. So, midway through this show, we’re told there was a “sneaky,
subversive subtext” in this film, with parallels between the peace-loving alien
(actor Michael Rennie, robot “Gort’s” boss) and —Jesus Christ!” How so?
Well, Rennie’s character, at one point, calls himself “Mr. Carpenter.” Also, he
dies and is resurrected.
But, says the narrator, the alien’s power over life and death did not slip past
censors “who insisted the blasphemous plot-point be changed.” It was. In a
re-take, when asked if he had the power to create eternal life, the alien says
no, only for a short period of time. Re: the eternal life power, the alien says:
“That power is reserved to the Almighty Spirit. This technique, in some
cases, can restore life for a limited power.”
At another point, Forrest J. Ackerman, a magazine editor/archivist, says of
this movie, approvingly: “We didn’t have a man and his robot come here to
rule the world. He came here to warn us we better straighten up and fly right
or we’re going to fly right out of the solar system and be burned to a cinder.
It was nice for a change to have a very charismatic individual from another
world rather than a villainous one.”
Nick Redman, a film historian, says this movie “revealed to the audience a
truth that had been hidden from them which was to put our fears and
phobias and hysteria to one side and learn to love one another.”
Director Robert Wise says of his film: “I think it was a very important
message that we all believe in very much: Let’s stop fighting and having
these wars.” Co-star Patricia Neal says The Day The Earth Stood Still was “a
divine film.”
Well, now. Speaking of the “divine,” some of this sounds very familiar. A
warning from someone not of this world to shape up or be scorched? A
preacher of a hidden truth by a charismatic person calling for, among other things, love? No more wars?
Hmmmmm. Sounds a little like the Lord Jesus Christ, no?
Lofton’s illustration is proven over and over again in movies ranging from ET
to Bladerunner. Man is depicted to be his own god, and aliens from outer
space or another dimension or parallel universe are his teachers and
benefactors.
An Unquenchable Passion for Blood and Death
The movie Gladiator does not press these same claims of humans as deity.
Its plot and images appear to have other goals in mind, including possibly the
revival of giving reverence to and worshipping the ancient gods and
goddesses of Rome and Greece. Moreover, Gladiator appeals to the 21st
century’s unquenchable passion for thrills, blood, carnage, violence, brutality,
and death.
Clif Droke, publisher of Last Days Journal, made note of this moral aberration
and inhumane tendency on the part of modern society recently when he
wrote:
“The one central theme characterizing man’s dealings in these last days is
bloodlust... Blood is a theme that permeates the lyrics of nearly all forms of
popular music—rock, heavy metal, rap. It is evident in popular movies and in
contact sports, television programs, comic books, video games, and internet
sites.
The Wall Street Journal (Aug. 7, 1997), carried an article entitled, “Blood On
The Net: Computer Games See Red.” The article described a burgeoning
gaming industry for teenagers and young adults who favor games with
bloody, violent themes. Advertisements for these latest games are said to
ooze with blood: Young men are shown bathing in tubs of it; warriors clutch
dripping human hearts. One game features a sporty red speedster with an
optional hood ornament—a screaming, bloodied pedestrian.”
Gladiatorworld
It was not surprising, then, that it was recently announced that an
amusement park featuring the blood games based on the movie Gladiator
would soon be opened. We are graduating from Disneyworld to
Gladiatorworld in entertainment interest by the public. In the New Zealand
Herald newspaper (May 15, 2001), an article announced exactly this amazing
development:
Gladiator fights, chariot races, and the torturing of Christian slaves in a
lion-filled arena are poised for a comeback more than 1600 years after the fall
of the Roman Empire.
The spectacles will take place in France, in a massive, purpose-built arena
inspired by the Colosseum in Rome, where some of the bloodiest scenes in
Roman history took place.
But if all goes well, any blood on the sand will be fake, for the gory thrills are
part of an amusement park in western France, the Grand Parc, to cash in on
the excitement generated in Europe by the Hollywood toga epic, Gladiator...
The Grand Parc claims the stadium will be a “jaw-droppingly” exciting
recreation of a real Roman arena... seven lions and tigers will prowl...
In this article from the New Zealand Herald newspaper )May 15, 2001, P. B2),
It was reported that, in France, and arena is now being built to house
modern-day gladiator games.
Imagine! The new Gladiator amusement theme park is being opened in the
very same country, France, in which, only a couple of centuries ago, real
blood games were held, with thousands of innocent victims heads chopped
off by the guillotine as chanting and roaring mobs raged with approval. Many
of the suffering victims were guilty of only one crime—they were Christians!
Were these bloodlust mobs and onlookers in 18th century revolutionary
France any different than the blood-crazed crowds who sat in the Colosseum
in Rome and in arenas throughout the Roman Empire centuries earlier?
Could it be that the Christians who were sacrificed in the Roman arenas and
those who were later tortured and murdered in the cities of France by
guillotine and other heinous methods will be joined by 21st Christians? It
seems too preposterous to contemplate.
Surely, one might object, mankind has acquired greater compassion and
sensitivity in the intervening years. “Surely,” the cheery optimist objects,
“modern man could not be induced to commit such atrocities. Not today. Not
in America. Not on a civilized Planet Earth!”
Spirit of Bloodlust
But, in fact, the monstrous horrors of 1940s Nazi Germany, 1917-1986
Communist Soviet Russia, 1980s Khmer Rouge Cambodia, and, surprisingly,
the first decade of 21st century America, demonstrate that the spirit of
bloodlust lives on, unquenched, destructive. Indeed, the federal authorities of
the United States proved this same satanic spirit of blood games thrives in
their murderous attack on Ruby Ridge, their siege, torture and burning to
death of 83 innocent men, women and children in Waco, Texas, and their
complicity in the bloody bombings of the World Trade Center and the Murrah
Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
“What!” you exclaim, “Are you saying that the federal government lawmen
and the elite were either involved in or masterminded the horrors of the
World Trade Center and Oklahoma City bombings?” Again, popular culture
and entertainment provide the startling answer.
Take, for example, the carnage in Oklahoma City. Did Oklahoma Governor
Frank Keating help to coverup the awful truth of government involvement in
the “terrorist” bloodletting in his state? In fact, the evidence is staggering
that the answer is, yes. The object of the Oklahoma City bombing by the
government was to conduct a prescribed “Blood Game” to anger and excite
the American public against a designated enemy: patriots, nationalists, and
militia. Keating’s state of Oklahoma presumably was chosen because the
Governor formerly had been an FBI agent and also once had served as
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in Washington, D.C., supervising the
Secret Service, U.S. Customs Service, and the notorious and murderous
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). Other members of the
Keating clan were active in government intelligence.
Now comes the shocker! Is it just a curious coincidence that the Governor’s
own brother, Martin Keating, authored a manuscript for a novel in 1991, four
years before the actual Oklahoma City bombing and slaughter, a novel which
amazingly foresaw key events of the terrorist act? The manuscript by Martin
Keating, titled The Final Jihad, had for its plot an account of terrorists, based
in Oklahoma City, who decide to bomb a federal building. And the name of
one of the terrorists in Keating’s book is—get this—a “Tom McVey!” That’s
right, Tom McVey.
Now for the clincher: In The Final Jihad, this supposedly fictional novel by
Keating, the terrorists are apprehended when their car is stopped by an
Oklahoma highway patrolman for a broken taillight. This, of course, we are
told by the FBI, is exactly how the real Tim McVeigh was caught.
Was Martin Keating’s manuscript secretly used by the federal authorities as
the blueprint for their undercover “Blood Game” project—the bombing of the
Oklahoma City federal building and its massive loss of life? It should be noted
that actual victims were not law enforcement agents but little children and
lower-level government workers—administrative clerks, social security
employees, postal sorters, etc.
Was the real Timothy McVeigh simply a hapless patsy, the same kind of patsy
as was luckless Lee Harvey Oswald some four decades prior?
Moreover, was the slaughter of 168 men, women and children in Oklahoma
City carried out according to a preapproved “movie script?” I was not
surprised to hear recently that CBS-TV is planning a dramatic mini series
based on the bombing and on the execution by lethal injection of designated
patsy, Tim McVeigh (aka Tom McVey?).
Better recheck your facts. There are more trees in the U.S. today than there was in 1900. That is because trees were the country's major source of fuel and building material back then. If we look at photos taken during the late 1800s, we see a noticeable absence of trees. But I can't accept the same for when the Pilgrims landed. If you want some first hand observation on this, check out some old buildings in your area that were constructed in the 19th century. You will be amassed at the size and quality of the timber that was used. We can only wish we had lumber like that today.
It amazes me this hasn't been tried yet.
Why don't they just use the many soccer (football?) stadia that litter the country (which look A LOT like football arenas)?
The ROMANS used ROMAN NUMERALS.

Who are the antichrists and who are the saints
LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS OH MY!
| Quietly, behind the scenes, an assistant attorney general has been, for several years, teaching police across West Virginia a course in hate crimes. |
| Even though lawmakers twice in as many years have repulsed efforts to graft "sexual orientation" into West Virginia's so-called hate crime statute, Paul Sheridan covers this controversial aspect in his classrooms. His teaching manual, crafted by former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno partly with his input, by definition is "aimed at a law enforcement audience." Led by Kevin McCoy of Charleston, the state group finds sections of the curricula especially disturbing and perceives in them a sinister undercurrent. Ultimately, he suggests, it could be employed to muzzle men of the cloth. Under "hate group ideology" identification, for instance, it is written, "Homophobia recently has been added to their agenda." "There goes 95 percent of West Virginians," McCoy said last week in an interview. "I believe, by and large, the majority of West Virginians oppose the homosexuality of our society, our state. Unless the senior assistant attorney general would like to give us a different definition of what homophobia means, my contention is this applies to anybody who has a problem with homosexuality." The same section identifies some hate-mongers as those who "blame the federal government, an international Jewish conspiracy or communism for most of this country's problems." What disturbs McCoy and people like him most is the next sentence: "Some groups include apocalyptic Christianity in their ideology and believe we are in, or approaching, a period of violence and social turmoil which will precede the Second Coming of Christ." Unless Reno and Sheridan can show otherwise, McCoy takes this to mean anyone with a literal interpretation of the Bible, especially in regard to scriptures on prophecy, is part and parcel of a hate group. Two pages later in the manual, Reno speaks of "exceptions" to the U.S. Constitution's free speech guarantees under the First Amendment. A statement McCoy finds curious reads: "Words expressing discriminatory animus may serve as evidence of the prohibited conduct (e.g., to prove reason for failure to promote) or may constitute the prohibited conduct itself." McCoy feels this is ominous, "laying the foundation for certain types of speech that are not politically correct and how they could be possibly perceived to be not appropriate within the law enforcement community ..." "If this curricula is continued to be taught to law enforcement in this state, it will not be long before they roll out the big guns and start cracking the whip," McCoy says. Could this mean preachers would be hauled off to the courts to face hate crime violations? "What they're waiting for now is to get 'sexual orientation' into West Virginia's hate crime law," McCoy said. "Their goal is to get sexual orientation included. Once they do that, this is laying the foundation for law enforcement to take care of those people that they consider to be members of the hate group. Churches, pastors, the whole nine yards. "I don't think there will be any group left untouched when their agenda is finally completed." If that's not the case, he reasons, then why did Reno use as part of her brain trust the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the Human Rights Campaign, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the National Association of Attorneys General and National District Attorneys Association? Yet another paragraph in the Reno curricula states, "Organized hate groups focus on issues of concern to middle America as a method for cloaking and marketing their hate philosophy (i.e., "government interference, cheating.") Under motivation, the manual says hate crime offenders feel led by "a higher order," and, in parenthesis as examples, God is grouped with Adolf Hitler and the Imperial Wizard. "Has a sense of urgency about his/her mission; believes he/she must act before it is too late," the manual says of those who commit hate crimes.
Re-ordering America? McCoy says "hate crime" legislation is a public relations effort to mask the hidden agenda of homosexuals - a re-shaping of America to make their lifestyle acceptable. "The hate crime law is being used across the country by homosexual activists," he said. "The reason they're doing it is they want to be able to use hate crime laws as a club against anyone that opposes their radical agenda, which is really re-ordering a society into the fashion that they desire to re-order it. "And this is what the curricula is doing - laying the foundation to be able to accept that agenda." The West Virginia Hate Crime Task Force, the vehicle through which Sheridan conducts his workshops, distributes a red, white and gray brochure that states, "Hate crimes may be committed because of race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity or sex." It also says such offenses "usually" involve violence, intimidation or vandalism because the targeted victim is "different." Fragmented newspaper headlines appear in the brochure as subliminals, and the phrase "neo-Nazi" is prominent. To conservative groups such as McCoy's, cleverly linking Nazis and Klan groups or others backgrounded in violence with opponents of homosexuality is an old tack harking back to the "big lie" method of the Third Reich. In this year's legislative session, McCoy said, a group of children from a Charleston-area church paid a visit to a senator's office to voice opposition to SB23, the hate crime measure which easily cleared the upper chamber before it died in a House committee. McCoy described a scene that followed as one that left a pastor and some young members of his flock in disbelief. "He (the senator) ran them out of his office, and said, 'you're a bunch of Nazis,'" McCoy said. "We're not Nazis, we're Christians," the children protested. "Then your whole church is Nazis," the senator shot back. McCoy said the lumping of hate crime law opponents with Nazis and Klan groups is advocated by homosexuals in a book, "The Overhauling of Straight America." "It is evident that our elected representatives are falling into the militant homosexual propaganda campaign by linking homosexual opponents to Nazis and the KKK," he said.
Domestic terrorism? Another catch phrase which has crept into the vocabulary of hate crime law advocates is "domestic terrorism." An 8-hour course, billboarded on the West Virginia State Police Academy, is titled simply "Domestic Terrorism," and topics advertised are "philosophies of hate and anti-government groups," and threats such people pose. Again, groups such as McCoy perceive this as propaganda attempting to link any opponents of homosexuality, including those who use biblical teachings as their guide, as "terrorists." In reality, McCoy says figures provided by police and homosexual groups themselves show the threat of violence among homosexuals is 50,000 times greater than the threat of hate crimes caused by those outside their ranks. FBI figures disclosed this year revealed only 1,317 "hate crime" episodes nationwide inspired by opposition to homosexual behavior, he said. "Yet, despite the overwhelming evidence that homosexuality is a deadly lifestyle, and despite the fact that a majority of West Virginians oppose special protection for this chosen behavior, we have our own attorney general and the West Virginia Human Rights Commission propagating this big lie that homosexuals are targeted for violence and deserving of the protected status," McCoy said. "On both sides of the House, there is a trend with legislators becoming more and more sympathetic to the homosexual agenda as well." So what is domestic terrorism? McCoy feels the phrase leaves little doubt where Reno and those swept up in the hate crime movement want to take America. "If you follow Janet Reno's curricula, it probably would be those that follow in the 'hate group ideology,' such as apocalyptic Christians and homophobes." McCoy is vowing an all-out campaign to counter the seminars and the attempt by some legislators to embrace the homosexual lifestyle in the protection of the hate crime umbrella, officially section 6-6-21 of the State Code. To accomplish its goal, the Family Foundation plans an intense networking with members of Congress, along with state and local authorities in West Virginia. "It might be impossible to reverse," McCoy acknowledged, "but we can try to slow it down." - E-mail Mannix Porterfield at mporterfield@ register-herald.com |

There was a lot to digest in this post. Some of it was on the money. The rest was out in the left field bleachers.
I do not doubt for one second that most of what is in the entertainment media is overrun with the spirit of anti-Christ. That can, and should be expected.
I have the movie Gladiator. I enjoyed it. Now I must go through and see if I can find the parallels in the movie that the author presents.
I'll let you know what I think when I do.
And thanks for the bump, by the way.
