From Freedom to Servitude – Part 1: The Power and Perversions of Law

From Freedom to Servitude – Part 1

THE POWER AND PERVERSION OF LAWS

By Berit Kjos – March 27,

“Watching the markets… two
interlocking phrases immediately come to mind: Ordo ab Chaos, and
Crisis Equals Opportunity. Ordo ab Chaos is a Latin phrase
and the motto of the Thirty-Third Degree of Freemasonry.1
It means, ‘Order out of
Chaos.’”2
Carl Teichrib

“Never waste a good crisis.” Hillary Clinton [see
video]

“…the financial crisis
will lead to the creation of a global central bank and a global single currency within 15 years.”[3]
Stephen Gallo

“Once a nation parts with
control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes
that nation’s laws.”[4]  W.L. Mackenzie
King [former Prime Minister of Canada]

“I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the
blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God… and the curse, if you do not obey….” Deuteronomy 11:26-28

During the Nazi occupation of Norway (1939-1945), my father joined
the Norwegian resistance movement and was willing to die for his
country. But when the post-war years brought creeping socialism, he
became disillusioned. Finally
he
chose to immigrate to America, which shone like a beacon of opportunity across Europe’s war-torn lands.

Entering New York’s harbor some years
later, we gazed in awe at the Statue of Liberty. But even as we ate
our first hamburger soon afterwards, America
was changing. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, our war-time hero, was now president. John Foster Dulles
— a founding
member of the Council of Foreign Relations
(CFR) — was his Secretary of State.

Like most Americans, we had no idea what was
happening “behind the scenes.” We didn’t know that Dulles had been
a Trustee of the
Rockefeller Foundation — or that he
collaborated with Alger Hiss, an
active member of the Communist Party, and had helped draft the preamble to the UN Charter back in 1945.[5]

Nor did we realize that our
Secretary of State had chaired a 1942 Federal (later renamed
National)
Council of Churches conference. In an article titled
Conforming the
Church to the New Millennium, I summarized the conference report.
While Hitler’s armies were ravaging Europe, the Council used that
devastating crisis
as an opportunity to promote its agenda: 

  • a world government of
    delegated powers 

  • immediate limitations on
    national sovereignty

  • a [single] democratically
    controlled international bank

  • a universal system of money

  • worldwide
    freedom of immigration

  • even distribution of the
    world’s natural wealth.[6]

Does that
sound familiar? Apparently
that last point didn’t originate with Obama!  Even Time magazine was
shocked! Here’s its summary of the report:

“Some of the conference’s economic opinions were
almost as sensational as the extreme internationalism of its political
program. It held that a ‘new order of economic life is both imminent and
imperative’ – a new order that is sure to come either ‘through
voluntary cooperation within the framework of democracy or
through explosive political revolution.’”[7]

Considering
Alger Hiss’ influence
within the
Council of Churches and friendship with Dulles
[See note], it shouldn’t surprise us. His Marxist goals fit
right into a church establishment already
infiltrated with socialist
ideology.[8]
 In spite of his Marxist aims, he served President Roosevelt both in the
State Department and as his adviser at the 1945 Yalta Peace Conference,
where much of eastern Europe was handed over to Stalin.
His leftist ideology may even have prompted his assignment as the
Secretary General of the United Nations Charter Conference in 1945.[9] 

In our
UN Chronology, you can
follow the hidden threads toward world government.
Notice that today’s radical “change” simply means that we are nearing
the completion of goals set long
ago.
As
President
Thomas Jefferson said,

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms
[of government] those entrusted
with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”[10]

It’s true! Unscrupulous leaders have traded the solid guidelines of our Constitution for evolving
laws that conform to global standards and human greed. Since
the Constitution was written for a nation that valued God’s moral
guidelines, it crumbled under the pressures of power-hungry globalists,
financial transnationalists, and the deceptive promises of pragmatic
socialists. They all saw God’s Truth as an obstacle to
their success.

To understand this radical shift, let’s take a closer look at the three sets of
laws that have influenced this nation — both for good and evil.

1. OUR CONSTITUTION WITH ITS PROMISE OF FREEDOM

Whether Christian or not, most of our nation’s founders based the
Constitution on God’s moral law. They knew that freedom to follow God
would be
essential to future prosperity.

In his
1796 Farewell Address, George
Washington exposed the main threats to the authority of the Constitution:

“Of all the dispositions and habits,
which lead to political prosperity, Religion [i.e. Christianity] and
Morality are indispensable supports. …[V]irtue
or morality is a necessary spring of popular government.”[11]

Washington concluded
with warning about the “mischiefs of foreign intrigue,” the lure of “imaginary
common interest,” and the consequences of failure to “prevent
our nation from running the course, which has hitherto marked the destiny of
nations.” In other words, if we don’t follow God’s ways and guard the
foundations of this nation, it will be destroyed — just like the
Roman empire.

2. EVOLVING LAWS AND GLOBAL TREATIES (See
Total transformation)

True to socialist ideology, our
current administration seems determined to control every aspect of life:
speech,
beliefs and values,
education, 
food,
health care,
money, the way we
serve God or each other,
etc. May we, like the early disciples, have the courage and strength to
“obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)

Most of us are familiar with the various new
bills (omnibus, stimulus, budget, etc.) loaded with earmarks that
Obama had promised to purge. Costing taxpayers trillions, they seemed
designed to deepen, not resolve, the current financial crisis.

But that apparent fiasco fits
the plans of socialist change agents such as Richard Andrew Cloward and
Frances Fox Piven. They — like Obama four decades later — knew how to
engineer a crisis that would ‘force change through chaos.’[12]
Former federal prosecutor James H. Walsh
explains their Marxist manipulations:

“Cloward and Piven held that poor
people can only advance when society is afraid of them….
Their strategy to create political, financial, and social chaos that would result in revolution blended
Alinsky concepts
with their more aggressive efforts at bringing about a change in
U.S. government. To achieve their revolutionary aims, Cloward and
Piven sought to use a cadre of aggressive [community] organizers
assisted by

friendly news media to force a re-distribution of the
nation’s wealth…..

“New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani called the Cloward-Piven
Strategy ‘an effort at economic sabotage.’…. Cloward and Piven were joined over the years by nouveau billionaires
led by George Soros. Through his Democracy Alliance, they funded
ACORN…..

“On the horizon are proposed taxes led by the
Obama-sponsored
Global Poverty Act
that would tax every U.S. man, woman, and child $2,500 for a
total of $845 billion to help the United Nations eliminate
global poverty. The goal remains the same, to redistribute the
wealth of the nation.”[13]

In other words, social engineering is
changing America along with the rest of the world! For example, Obama’s Global Poverty Act calls for
communitarian partnerships
between the —

      
1. Public sector (government,
which writes the laws and
sets the
standards)

      
2.
Private sector
(business,
which supplies resources)

      
3.
Social sector
(civil society,
especially churches,
which provide human

servers
trained in political correctness).

This
three-legged
system would be governed by globalist elites. Unlike communism, such a
communitarian system would allow people to “own” their property, but both
ownership and ideology would be governed, assessed and tracked through laws
and regulations based on unthinkable
global
standards aimed at worldwide social
solidarity.
After all, Obama has agreed to “stepped up US-UN cooperation.”[14]

Our old Constitution-based laws are rapidly being replaced by new laws that end virtually every
freedom that we have treasured. This transformational legal system fits
the UN’s rising body of

international laws as well as the
67-year-old vision of John Foster Dulles. But is this
what Americans want? Or are most people too distracted by entertainment
and Huxley’s “feelies” to notice?
Take a look at the road ahead:

In this new system, “We, the people” of
America will no longer count. Our government — elected to serve us — will become our
‘masters.’ Ashley Mote (an independent member of the European Parliament) shows
us what happened in Europe, the model for the other planned
“regions” under the UN:

“Even the EU’s public face – the
unelected commission – is part of the charade. Power does not lie
with them. It lies with the senior staff running their
departments…. We do not know what their
budgets are, how they are financed, or who approves their costs. Indeed,
we do not even know what powers they have been given, nor by whom…. The other
24 commissioners, each appointed by the other member states… are
figure-heads.
They take the flak in the public arena, and make announcements decided
for them by their senior staff, with the guidance of the secret committees…. 

“The
European Parliament sits below this vast superstructure… designed
to create an illusion of accountable democracy. A condescending pat
on the head for voters held in contempt…. In effect, the left has said to the multinationals: you can have your
markets stitched up for you, if we can indulge ourselves in endless
social engineering. Big business has agreed. The result is a largely
supportive parliament both from the left and right of the political
divide. The ‘Americas’ is moving in the same direction!”[16]

3. GOD’S UNCHANGING LAW

The old Christianized Europe leads the
way. Rejecting its Christian foundations, it has filled its spiritual vacuum with forces far greater than it can control without total repression. Ponder this recent example:

“A few years ago, the left-wing
London Guardian newspaper called Sweden the most successful
society the world has ever known. But Sweden today is being
rocked by a large influx of Muslim immigrants…. Wide-open immigration policies… have made Malmo, which is now one-quarter Muslim, one
of the most racially divided cities in Europe. Most Muslim immigrants
are concentrated in one district, where the male unemployment rate
is 82 percent. Crime affects one of three families in the city and
rape has tripled in 20 years…. In one housing project in the district,
fire and emergency
workers will no longer enter without police protection.

“Malmo has
been so accommodating toward immigrant Muslims that a local Muslim
politician and imam has even declared, ‘The best Islamic state is
Sweden!’… Right-wing Swedish Democrats, who support limits
on immigration, have been stigmatized by the left-wing Swedish media
as fascist and bigoted…. ‘I think the best prediction is that
Sweden will have a Muslim majority by 2049, so we know where that
country’s going.”[17]

America is marching to the same tune —
right into the embrace of the planned world government.

 

While most Americans still call themselves Christian, few can define the gospel or explain the
holy character of the God they
claim to know. Churches have replaced Biblical Truth with energizing
entertainment, and Biblically illiterate members are being trained to
follow group consensus, not the Word and ways of our sovereign God.

 

At a time such as this, we ought to “tremble” at God’s Word! For unlike us, our
mighty Lord doesn’t change! His laws are operational as
well as eternal. The world may ignore them, but it can’t escape the consequences.
As He told us through Moses over three thousand years ago:

“…when you have eaten and are full, and
have built beautiful houses and dwell in them… your heart is lifted up and
you forget the Lord your God. … you say in your heart, ‘My
power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
“…if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow
other gods… you shall surely perish. As the nations which the
Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be
obedient to the voice of the Lord your God.” Deuteronomy 8:10-20

Demonstrating a patience that far exceeds
mine, he told His beloved Israel, “’In returning and rest you shall be
saved. But you would not.” The rebellious people refused his gracious
invitation. (Isaiah 30:15) So has most of the Western world.

Today that call still rings out:
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and
learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find
rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:28) What will we answer?

Note concerning
Alger Hiss: “Mr. Dulles worked side by side
with Mr. Hiss in the State Department and in the various
conferences that planned the United Nations. But how many American
church people knew that Mr. Dulles and Mr. Hiss worked together in
The Federal Council of Churches and that both were chairmen of
important committees of the Council?”[6]
