ANTI- AMERICANISM (Part 2)By: Chuck-JOHNEL

Because I had to pass on this article until the November Newsletter I have decided to repeatwhat was given at the end of the August, 2004 Newsletter which was as follows...

(Quote) VISION IN THE CHA PEL IN PITTSBURGH 1977: Th is was onetime when JESUS shewed it to me all in one gulp. It was 1977 and we were a short distancefrom our objective, the White House. We were being hosted by a Church in Pittsburgh andentered a chapel to pray to be prepared before speaking to the church that night.

As we sat on the bench praying, JESUS CHRIST literally walked into the chapel before us.Three women in the chapel immediately fell to the floor under the power- of the Holy Spirit;my prophet partner Cliff would later tell me that he was barely able to hold on to the seatand almost fell to the floor himself.

JESUS looked at me and said "BEHOLD!" With that Isaw North America before me asif it were a map hanging on the chapel wall. What I then saw was overwhelming in theextreme. Every living creature, man, animal, insect, every living thing came into my viewand in a time context that was so rapid it was a virtual blur. I saw the whole of whatAmerica would go through, thejudgment, war, invasion, occupation - all in a flash. I onlyretained (memory-wise,) about 1110th of 1% of what I'd seen but the HOLY SPIRITimparted it all to my spirit in Christ. In that vision I became aware of an intense anti-Americanism that brought nations to invade the U.S. It seemed they held us as being afascist-like nation worthy only of destruction. But was this trite?" (Unquote)

I will be quoting from a book entitled "ANTI-AMERICANN ISM" written by a Frenchauthor, Jean-Francois Revel, translated from the French by Diarmid Caramel l and publishedby Encounter Books, San Francisco in 2003.

Most Americans have no concept of the intensity of hatred held by many people around theworld against our nation and against us as a people and yet this virulent hatred is heldprimarily by the elites of those nations and not by the average person. In fact, the averageperson in most nations around the world would jump at the chance to become an Americanand to live in America.

To act a view of this anti-Americanism I look at page 146 where Revel writes, (Quote)"Nineteenth-century European intellectuals believed that America was a cultural void...Itwas not until 1856, when Charles Baudelaire translated Edgar Allen Poe, that Europeansbegan to realize there might be something that could be called literature in the UnitedStates. But the myth of barbarism, of a people enslaved by their own addiction to money

ePage 2A The Staff and Sword Ministry October 10, 2004

ANTI- AMERICANISM (Part 2 continued)) (an addiction obviously quiteunknown to the more idealistic Europeans) lasted until the mid-twentieth century, when itwas refuted by reality. Then the greatest outpouring of patronage ever seen went intobuilding and maintaining thousands of museums and universities - and even the operahouses whose absence Stendhal had deplored.

Suddenly the sneers changed to remonstrations: the cultural vacuity of America wastransformed overnight into "cultural imperialism." The empty cup was found to be floodingover. In this domain as in everything else, the Americans can never be in the right. nomatter what they do ." (Unquote)

The depth of current anti-Americanism springs from a known root. Revel writes (QuotePage 148) "In his book, "All Americans Now" the editor of Le Monde (a Frenchpublication), Jean-Marie Colomban1, explains why he felt justified in this title the day after9/11. Hostile reactions to his editorial and the title he had chosen were numerous andimmediate, both among readers of Le Monde (French Newspaper) and on the editorialboard. This stemmed from the Left's disinclination, even after the massacres in New Yorkand Washington, to renounce its demonized image of the United States, an image that itneeds all the more since socialism has ended in shipwreck. If the Good that this cultworshiped has foundered, it consoles itself by continuing to execrate the antithetical Evil(U.S.) Woe upon those who would deprive them of the convenient Lucifer that is their lastideological lifeline." (Unquote)

SOCIALISM is the root of anti-American hatred and it encourages hatred ofAmerica/Americans in every venue it can find. In Africa the people of Africa have cometo believe the convenient lie that the AIDS disaster that has befallen them is a conspiracybrought on them by America. Yup! They blames AIDS on us, not on their behavior whichspreads the AIDS virus like wildfire in the continent of Africa (millions have died, millionsare infected and dying).

THE FASCIST ACCUSATION: Revel writes: ( Quote page 156) "...Isn't America, afterall, "structurall y fascist"? The strange thing is that it is always in Europe that dictatorshipsand totalitarian regimes spring up, yet it is always America that is "fascist." (Unquote)

Such an attitude, if not belief system, is baffling since America has no resemblance to a"fascist structure" but the European elite who accuse us of this are the same people thatsupported the most horrific fascist dictatorships in history.

However, Revel puts his finger on one primary reason for anti-Americanism when he

wrote: (Quote Page 34) "America is the object of their loathing because, for ahalf-century or more, she has been the most prosperous and creative capitalistsociety on earth." (Unquote)

THE KYOTO ACCORD - THE FACTS!We have all heard about the Kyoto treaty but few of us know much about it or what it is,much less how it has not been implemented in the world community. Jean-Francois Revelwrites about this as follows: (Quoting Pages 25-26)

"Already in 1997, with Bill Clinton occupying the White House, the U.S. Senate hadrejected the Kyoto Protocol by a vote of 55 to 0—whether rightly or wrongly is anotherquestion. The fact remains that George W. Bush had nothing to do with it. Then Clinton,just before handing over the power to his successor, had signed an executive order restoringthe United State's support for the famous protocol. Customarily, such executive orders atthe end of a president's term of office do not impinge on questions of high importance tonational policy. Here, Clinton's evident intention was to hand Bush a political hot potatoat the last minute. If he accepted it, the incoming president would be faced with theproblem of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2 percent without cutting backindustrial production and energy consumption too drastically: an impossible task. If herefused, noisy protests would surely be launched worldwide against him, protests all themore hypocritical in that those who cried the loudest, banishing the United States from thefamily of humanity in the name of environmental ethics, were careful not to apply thisstandard to themselves.

By mid-2001, four years after the Kyoto conference, not one of the 167 othersignatories -- and not a single European nation— had ratified theprotocol... .America, with 5 percent of the world's population, is responsible for25 percent of the world's industrial pollution. Perhaps the figures are accurate;but it should be pointed out that America also produces 25 percent of theplanet's goods and services, and that the other 167 Kyoto signatories had doneabsolutely nothing by mid- 2001 towards reducing, either collectively orindividually, their 75 percent share of world pollution.

Here is utter inconsistency, of course, but the agenda is less about ridding the world ofpollution than about excommunicating the United States....

Western environmentalists are hardly objective scientists; they are leftists....

During the seventies and eighties, they never denounced pollution in the Communistscountries, a thousand times worse than in the West— but after all, that wasn't capitalistpollution. They maintained a prudent silence at the time of the Chernobyl accident, as theydo today with regard to the dilapidated nuclear power plants strewn over the erstwhileCommunist territories. And they keep their mouths shut about the hundreds of Soviet-builtsubmarines, stuffed with atomic warheads, that the Russians sank lock, stock and barrel in

the Barents Sea.

Page 4A The Staff and Sword Ministry October 10, 2004

LContinuing Quoting Jean-Francois Revel Pages 25-26) To demand that steps be takento rid humanity of this mortal peril that will hang over our heads for millennia would, fromtheir socialist point of view, be inadvisable. After all, this tedious chore wouldn't be of theslightest help in their crusade against liberal globalization, in their eyes a far more dreadfulcurse. Once upon a time there was a genuine environmentalism, which flourished in thesixties, precisely in the United States. But it has long since been hijacked but a mendaciouspseudo-environmentalism, a mask for stale Marxist cant colored in green. Note theideological environmentalism sees nature menaced only in those nations where economicliberalism reigns to a greater or lesser degree—and above all, of course, in the mostprosperous of them all." (Unquote)

Comment b y Chuck-JOHNEL: Behind almost all the current anti-Americanism is avirulent strain of Marxism that can be found throughout Europe and even here at home. Itis amazing, to one, how such a failed system (absolute and utter failure) hangs on and drivesmen to continue to hawk an ideology (MarxismlCommunism) as if it is the wave of thefuture, when all it has left behind in its wake are destroyed nations and hundreds of millionsof murdered victims. Even our very own movie stars are drawn to worship Fidel Castro ofCommunist Cuba who had brought nothing but death and want to that island people. Whatis this blindness?

For many of my earlier years, even before I knew I was Jesus' prophet, I studiedCommunism as one studies an enemy and I realized that it was in essence both a religiousbelief as well as an ideology. The Marxist man or woman utterly rejected God andembraced man as their new god. This is why the madness continues to this day, thisis how the "true believers" can ignore the horrors of Communism and embrace the socialistideal with new vigor - when all it has ever produced is want and destitution. Marxism ismore than a political or economic theory, it is a religious belief and in itself it is a religion.

The god of Marxism/Communism is Satan/Lucifer. This is obvious becauseMarxist/Communist ideology stands as both a counterfeit and a competition to the Gospelof JESUS CHRIST and His Church, Christians.

The modern day leftists/liberals (who now like to call themselves `progressives') have asingular hatred and contempt for JESUS CHRIST, His Church - Christians. They are notshy about demonstrating their hatred and our present day society lays under the stench andmist of Christophobia*, the fear of Christians, the fear of Christ!

*Note - Dr. Michael Savage has coined this expression to describe the left's attacks andhatred of Christians in America and around the world.

In Whittaker Chambers book "WITNESS", he wrote: (Quote Page 81) "...I had rejectedthe rightofthe mind to justify evil in the name of history, reason or progress, because I had

Page 5A The Staff and Sword Ministry October 10 2004(QuotIiigWI.ittaker Chambers book "WITNESS continued) asserted that there issomething greater than the mind, history or progress. I did not know that this Somethingis God.. .1 began to sense that the two mirages that had beckoned me into the dese rt - themirage of Almighty Mind and its power to plan human salvation —wereillusions...Communism/Socialism denies the soul in the name of the mind...I sensed...thesimplici ty of an axiom: "MAN CAl`I N O.>'I Qi(GAM1ZE THE WG,( !

exist first within our minds.. .my spirit clearly discerned one truth: "Man without

mysticism is a monster. " (Unquote)

Note by Chuck-JOHNEL - Whittaker Chambers was an American Communist and member ofthe Communist Party until the late 1930's when he left the Communist Party. He speaks f rom theperspective of a dyed-in-the-wool Communist, formerly a true believer, who carefully thought outand expressed the heart of that belief system after he found Christ in his life and turned f ro m thegodless Communist religion.

(Quoting Jean-Francois Revel Pages 24 & 34 "If Russia is not a superpower at thebeginning of the twenty-first centu ry , that's because she embarked on the absurdexperiment of Communism, which left her more backward that before 1917."

"America is the object of their loathing because, for a half-centu ry or more, she has beenthe most prosperous and creative capitalist society on earth." (Unquote)

Comment b y Chuck-J0HNEL: I've shared these two quotes (above) with each other toillustrate one primary reason why there is this thing called "anti-Americanism" and howmuch of it springs from the poisoned well of Marxist/Socialism.

America is hated, despised, ridiculed and falsely accused because as a free society, freeenterprise-driven, God-believing and blessed society we prosper greatly while the idealMarxist/Communist system that emerged in Russia in 1971 left that great nation destituteand broken after 70 years of socialist disasters.

Here in pages 31-32 French author Revel writes about this Socialist/Communist madness:(Quote) "It would be hard to point more clearly to the supreme scapegoat for in the oldsocialist tradition,... anti-Americanism... According to these people and their fellowbelievers, the global marketplace will breed ever-increasing poverty, for the profit of anever-richer minority. This is the outcome Karl Marx predicted in the middle of thenineteenth century for the industrialized nations of Western Europe and North America, andwe all know how history has confirmed that brilliant prophecy. By the late 1950's, theFrench Communist Party was still using the "complete pauperization" ofthe working classas a propaganda line— even while the thirty-year boom following World War II was in fullswing. That's the genius of "scientific socialization"." (Unquote)

AMERICA YS BAD IF WE DO, BAD IF WE DON'T

(Quote Revel:) "Consider, for example, the perplexity of a citizen of Montana orTennessee upon learning of his nation's intervention in the former Yugoslavia. He mightwith good reason have asked himself what interest the United States could have in plunginginto the bloody quagmire of the Balkans, that centuries-old masterpiece of Europe'smatchless ingenuity. But Europe found herself incapable of bringing order to thismurderous chaos of her own making. So, in order to stop or at least diminish themassacres, it devolved upon the United States to take charge of the operations in Bosnia,Kosovo and Macedonia. The Europeans afterwards offered thanks by calling themi mperialists—although they quake with fright and accuse the Americans of being cowardlyisolationalists the moment they make the slightest mention ofbringing their soldiers home."(Unquote)

AMERICA AS A SUPER-POWER BOTHERS EUROPEAN ELITES

The French author Revel brought focus to this "European complaint" and settled it in abrief statement: (Quote Revel Page 17)

"Acceptable or not, the fact is that it exists (America as a super-power). And what islacking in European thinking about the current state of affairs (and Europeans are far frombeing alone in this instance) is an enquiry into its primary causes. It is only by identifyingand cor rectly interpreting these causes that we'lI have a chance of finding ways tocounterbalance the American's dominance.

Europeans in particular should force themselves to examine how they havecontributed to that preponderance. It was they, after all, who made the twentieth centurythe darkest in history; it was they who brought about the two unprecedented cataclysms ofthe World Wars; and it was they who invented and put into place the two most criminalregimes ever inflicted on the human race—pinnacles of evil and imbecility (fascism andcommunism) achieved in a space of less than thirty years." (Unquote)

TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONE'S ACTIONS

The Marxist/Socialist ideology presents positions and attitudes that do not have to stand upto the test of"does it work" instead, "if it fails" then blame is placed on someone but thosebehind the error never take responsibility for their actions.

In Solzhenitsyn's book he gave an example of how the Communists worked in the formerCommunist Soviet Union. One day the Communists in Moscow ordered farmers to plantseed in the snow (it was the dead of winter) so they could get an early crop. The farmerssaid: "It won 't grow, the seed will only rot in the snow. " The Communists ordered them

Page 7A The Staff and Sword Ministry October 10, 2004

TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONE'S ACTIONS (continued) to do as

told or they'd be arrested for resisting the Communist Revolution. The farmers obeyed andplanted the seed in the snow. The seed rotted. The farmers were then arrested for"destroying Soviet property" by the same Communists that gave them the orders.

This kind of behavior is the hallmark of socialism, no matter what kind of horrors theycause and inflict on mankind it is never "their fault" and so they always pass the buck tosome poor sap.

The notion that a socialist can be responsible or take responsibility for his/her actionsand/or words is not part of the fabric of socialism. The religious ideology ofSocialism/Marxism blinds those adherents of same to see1ngboth the truth and facts of howthat system does not work.

Capitalism versus Socialism

(Quoting Revel - Pages 48-49) "In Latin America, from 1950 to 1985, real per capitaincome in constant dollars (valued at the 1975 level) doubled, going from about S I ,000 perannum to a little over $2,000, which was Western Europe's level circa 1950. Mexico in1985 is higher on the scale in terms of per capita income than was Italy in 1960. During thepast five decades, Latin America on the whole has experienced an annual growth of 5percent. No European country can boast an equivalent sustained average growth rate.

These figures show to what extent the mantras about ever increasing poverty (by theMarxist/Socialists) spring from ignorance or pure dishonesty. Continuing poverty, regularbankruptcies of public finances, inflation and the flight of capital are not the result of anintractable underdevelopment per se, but of incompetence and corruption, the wasting ofinternational aid and the persistence of a ruinously inefficient public sector.

This regrettable state of affairs is most obvious in the case of Africa, the only Third Worldcontinent to have witnessed a decline, not just relative to wealthy nations, but in real andabsolute terms. This impoverishment has political, not economic, causes. It is statismrather than the market, and socialism rather than capitalism that have seriously harmed ordestroyed the African economies.

After independence, the African elites who formed the political leadership for the most partadopted the Soviet and Chinese system. Through this means they were able to assumeabsolute power with access to the levers of personal enrichment. And from Communismthey borrowed an infallible recipe for agricultural ruin: from Algeria to Tanzania theycollectivized the land, setting up "cooperatives" that quickly became unproductive. I willnot elaborate here on this subject, which I have dealt with at length in several books...theThird World's false friends have no intention of seeing that world's poor have enough to

Page 8A The Staff and Sword Ministry October 10, 2004

Capitalism versus Socialism - uotes continued eat, their enthusiasm being focused

rather on blaming capitalism for the impoverishment that is socialism's offspring."

(Unquote)

C-J COMMENT: The disaster in Africa which springs from embracing the tenets ofSocialist/Marxist ideology is blamed on the capitalist nation of America.

As Revel states on page 37 (Quote) "What the current crop of antiglobalizers have in

common is a simplistic Marxist article of faith: "absolute evil is capitalism, incarnated in

and directed by the United States. " (Unquote)

French author Revel writes on page 28 (Quote) "...the United States is always blamed,while its financial and military aid are universally desired. For example at the June 2001meeting of the Organization of African Unity... African leaders hoped and prayed for a"Marshall Plan for Africa." This reference to the Marshall Plan of course evokes thehistoric precedent, financed by the United States, that brought Europe back out of the ruinsof the Second World War. And yet virtually all of the mendicant chiefs who "govern"Africa profess a virulent anti-Americanism: blaming America for the continent's poverty,and even the African AIDS epidemic, is laid at America's door.

Anti-Americanism thus functions as a blame-shifting tactic. In fact, the international aidreceived by Africa since decolonization is equivalent to four or five Marshall Plans, all ofwhich was squandered, embezzled or outright stolen, when it wasn't swallowed up in theincessant wars or wiped out in stupid "agrarian reforms" modeled on the suffocating(Socialist/Marxist) collectivism of Russia and China. But it's convenient to throw back onAmerica all responsibility for one's own mistakes or crimes — while still appealing to her

for rescue.

Europe is not exempt from this doublethink: at the very time when Europeans werebenefitting from the Marshall Plan, leftist parties were opposed to it, putting it down as anAmerican plan to put Western Europe under her thumb — yet another neocolonialist and

i mperialist maneuver, as could easily be deduced from Marxist theory. Yet the socialist orChristian-Democratic parties of the center-right that were then in power in most Europeancountries also eschewed any feelings of gratitude, reasoning that by acting generously,America was acting purely in her own interest — as if she really ought to have opposed

them!

In keeping with the contradictory rules of anti-American reasoning, we accused and keepaccusing Americans of being opposed to a strong Europe hence, the United Statesstrengthened Europe because she wants to weaken Europe. In this regard, Europeanthinking is a model of incoherence. " (Unquote)

ENTER ISLAM

Anti-Americanism is found alive and well throughout Europe, Africa, South America andAsia primarily because of Socialist/Marxist and it is found budding and growing inAmerica stemming from that same root. However, when we come to Islam we find thesame level of anti-Americanism but not because of Communism, Marxism and/or

Socialistic ideology.

The French author Revel writes (Quoting Page 70) "After September 11, democratic

leaders took great care to stress that the West's war against terrorism was not a war againstIslam. But for their part, the Islamists made no bones about proclaiming that they werefighting against the West. Their objective is, of course, the fruit ofa delusion, but it remainswell and truly the destruction of Western civilization in all its impiety and impurity. Forthis reason, attempts to blame hyper-terrorism on American hyper-power and capitalistglobalization — to ascribe rational economic and political causes to it — must be completelygroundless. The fundamentalists blame our civilization not for what it does, but for whatit is, not for having failed, but for having succeeded. So the endless talk about the need tofind a "political solution" to the problem of Islamist terrorism is founded on the illusion thatnational policy could have any bearing on a mental universe so divorced from reality...

The (Islamist's) are not concerned about regulating global trade or increasing aid to thedeveloping countries; their one idea is to extirpate (destroy) Evil from the earth and replace

it with Good, i.e. Islam." ( Unquote)

THE STREAM OF ISLAM CANNOT CO-EXIST IN THE STREAM OF THE WEST

This is a conclusion I drew after reading the history of Islam from the 7`'' century to the

present time - the stream of Islam and its ideology is so opposite the stream of the West thatone cannot exist side by side with the other, either one is eliminated and the other triumphsor the stage is set for an endless bloody war until that final resolution reached.

Pope John Paul II worked to allow and encourage the building of a Mosque in Rome andit was built. Did Islam respond by allowing and encouraging the building of a Church inMecca? Hardly! Islam does not seek or desire to live in harmony with other cultures, otherreligions, rather it seeks to eradicate every culture, every religion and replace it with theirs

and theirs alone.

THE NATION THAT EMBRACES SOCIALISM COMES UNDER A CURSE

In my early years I watched with some interest, if not wonderment, how that nationsformerly wealthy with abundance of food and raw materials would see their populationsbecome destitute, hungry to starving and life in general slipped into a nightmare state.

Page 1OA The Staff and Sword Ministry October 11 9 2004

THE NATION THAT EMBRACES SOCIALISM COMES UNDER A

CURSE continued

South Vietnam was such a nation - it had an abundance of food of all sorts to the place thatthey were a major exporter of food stuffs. No one wanted in that nation and life waspleasant. When South Vietnam fell to the Communist North it was only the short passingof one year and the population was on short rations, food was in short supply and hungerstalked the people of that nation unlike any previous time.

I wondered how this could happen.

Take Russia which was backward industrially when the Communists came to power, andyet Russia by itself was a major food producer and that nation had/has resources in rawmaterials of greater abundance than America. Nonetheless the Russian people entered sevendecades of want of j ust about everything you could imagine with famines ravaging that land

for many years.

Why? How could the socialist doctrine result in such want and suffering when those nationshad everything available to make a good life for all its citizens?

The workings of Marxist/Socialism can explain some of it and it is the most inefficientsystem ever created by man and is so wasteful that to call it criminal is a vast

underestimation.

The bigger issue is one men hardly conceive of and Marxist/Socialists are blind to see. Anation that embraces Socialism/Marxism is truly embracing its root, who is Satan/Lucifer.These creatures are not called destroyers because they bring anything good to man - in fact,they bring a curse and in fact they are the curse.

Rejecting God, rejecting Christ, rejecting the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the same as turningfrom the light to darkness, from abundance to want, from life to death.

When Alexander Solzhenitsyn was asked why Russia has suffered so much underCommunism (estimated 70 million were murdered inside of 70 years) he stated bluntly,

"We forgot God."

Apart from GOD, His Grace and help, man is under the curse of fallen Adam and nothinggood will come thereafter, only evil.

Page l IA The Staff and Sword Ministry October 11, 2004

In conclusion

Looking at anti-Americanism from several different angles reveals that "yes" they perceiveAmerica as being a fascist nation but that perception is not based on truth or fact but on afear and hatred of American success, more, it is a fear of the success of a free enterprisenation founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In truth, the America-haters are driven by envy and jealousy and the fact that they and theirMarxist/Socialistic/Satanic ideals cannot compare or compete with America's success, asuccess that is GOD blessed. The Islamists are driven by envy, jealousy and fear in a like

way.

Jean-Francois Revel writes: (Quote Page 143) "There is a big difference between beinganti-American and being critical of the United States. Once again: critiques are appropriateand necessary, provided that they rest on fact and address real abuses...

Anti-Americanism is at base a totalizing, if not totalitarian, vision. The peculiar blindnessof fanaticism can be recognized in the way it seizes on a certain behavior of the hated objectand sweepingly condemns it, only to condemn with equal fervor the opposite behaviorshortly after— or even simultaneously...Americans can do nothing but speak idiocies, makeblunders and commit crimes; and they are answerable for all the setbacks, all the injusticesand all the sufferings of the rest of humanity. Anti-Americanism thus defined is less apopular prejudice than a parti pris (preconceived opinion) of the political, cultural and

religious elites...." (Unquote)

On one hand I will acknowledge that America is slipping rapidly into the same kind ofsocialist mind-set as those abroad who hate us, and in that decline we are doing what Russiadid over 7 decades ago, we are "forgetting God." The historic consequences of thatbehavior is known and we are headed this way into the "curse" and the judgment of God.

The only way our enemies could succeed in invading and conquering America, as revealedby the Spirit of God, is if America has "forgotten God." The evidence of that position is allaround us, nonetheless, the view that America is fascist is false though this falsehood willmotivate many nations to come to America as invaders.

Thanks to Jean-Francois Revel's book, "Anti-Americanism" a lot of bits and pieces of

information came together in my mind to form a clear picture of not only how the worldsees America but what is at the root of that perception, which is Satan/Lucifer. Mr. Revelsees Marxist/Socialistic ideology as the root, but I know the root of that system is hell's

power.

Page 12A The Staff and Sword Ministry October 12, 2004

Why did I pursue this report?

The vision of the judgment of America given to me by JESUS CHRIST in the Pittsburghchapel in 1977 was fiercely intense and it carne with mega-detail that was beyond thephysical brain to grasp or recall beyond a very "general knowing" that surfaced in myconscious mind as a rough outline. In that "general knowing" I seemed to know thatAmerica was invaded because other nations came here to end a world-threatening tyranny.For many years I perceived this "tyranny" to be a form of fascism which in turn motivated

this violent response.

This report allowed me to pursue this "general knowing" and to find that what I perceivedwas correct, but also that the world perception of America was seriously faulted.

We have turned a major corner into the judgment JESUS revealed so long ago and we arefinding the budding evidences of things JESUS revealed some 27 years ago now visible inworld affairs. God bless. End of report.

A Postscript on Guns

Mr. Revel also wrote this, (Quote Page 87) "Europeans are right to criticize the freedom

to sell firearms that prevails in the United States. But their vituperations (sustained andbitter railing and condemnations) would be more convincing if it were not just as easy toprocure weapons in Europe, on a flourishing black market; although firearms cannot be

freely bought and sold, the result is the same, if not worse. The arms trafficking is"phenomenal" in Seine-Saint-Denis, France, says a leader of the Force police union who

said (November, 2001) "two weeks ago we found nailita?y weapons in La Courneuve, and

in Fpinay, France. " The officially condoned selling of arms to individuals in America atleast makes provision for the registration of the purchaser's name...It is in Europe that anarms traffic jungle, the kind in which anyone can obtain the most lethal weapons withoutanyone else knowing about it, is growing unchecked."
