Winter has hit hard and awful here in Michigan. We are victims of the ice storm and have been without power since Sunday morning. There were downed wires along with downed trees in our Southeast Michigan subdivision.
Given what happened to others, including the Tennessee - Arkansas tornados, we still can't complain. I am praying that God will spare us other extreme weather during this holiday season, especially for those traveling.
And, I am shamelessly praying that our power is soon restored. Hotels here are filled with refugees from the county to the north of ours which caught the ice storm far more severely than us -- and we caught it bad enough. A generous spirited client loaned us a generator which has warmed the house today along with the one lamp. I have Verizon 4 g portable internet which is what is enabling me to post now in our one lamp outlet along with the furnace connected. I had to make a rare use of my health club to take a badly needed shower and hair wash today. I'm not opening the deep freeze which hopefully will remain that during the power outage. Our turkey has been thawing since Saturday and is in the refrigerator which is not reconnected. I pray our power is restored as predicted, before 11:30 p.m. Christmas Eve.
At any rate, we are thankful for Jesus Christ and his birthing family enduring far more onerous and primitive conditions than those of which I complain today.
Merry Christmas to all and good night!

Javier Solana and Global Governance -- Back Again??!!
Read the rest of the article by going to http://tinyurl.com/lddtlul Another link carrying it also is http://www.mareeg.com/globalizing-european-security/
Well, I was really starting to suspect that Dr. Solana had decided that he was through with global politics, except in a professorial role. My "google alerts" brought this to my attention within the past 15 minutes of writing this to my readers. It appears to me from this and reading of his current roles in European Security organizations that he may have been carefully biding his time. He is suddenly making strong calls for "global governance" with a rearmed Europe being in a predominant role in his hoped for structures.
Now, I don't know what his motives are. It appears from my current perspective that Catherine Ashton may have been underestimated by those who may have perceived her job as a sinecure. Catherine Ashton has been given much credit for helping to achieve at least an interim international agreement with Iran over its nuclear development. That was a goal that had been elusive to Dr. Solana during his tenure which started with his representation of virtually the rest of the world to Iran which was announced by President George W. Bush on the rather auspicious date of June 6, 2006.
Catherine Ashton, it has been reported, has gone from "zero to hero." When she entered her job, it was not expected by her critics that she would long survive in the position. She retorted to them, "I'm a stayer, not a quitter." This past April Javier Solana was recently on a panel with the Brookings Institution relative to the Iranian nuclear crisis. He had lots of explanations as to why it fell through and expressed pessimism as to the efficacy of future negotiations with the Iranian foreign minister Jalili. Apparently Catherine Ashton had her successes with him and his successor. Many many former Solana aides (e.g. Robert Cooper) and applauders (e.g. the London Financial Times) have decided that now it appears that Catherine Ashton deserves the credit she was formerly and long denied.
I suspected that the "High Representative" position with the very high salary and combined military and foreign policy powers had been created for the benefit of Javier Solana who was expected to be the super-powerful European Union Foreign Minister prior to the referendum failures. Only after Solana announced he would retire and not seek the post did Ireland finally reluctant approve the Treaty. That was in 2009. Now 2014 is nigh and that will be the last year of Catherine Ashton's 5 year term. Does Javier Solana perhaps still want the job that had initially been created for him? Others who have aspired to jobs Mr. Solana wanted eventually went down to relative political obscurity. Witness Tony Blair and Joschka Fischer.
How will all of this sort out? I don't know, but watching it is sure fascinating.

Fascinating New Ager vs. New Ager debate occurring - Nuclear vs Anti-Nuclear
UPDATE: PRAYERS AND SUPPORT NEEDED FOR THE PHILIPPINES!!!!
"EARTHQUAKES IN DIVERS[E] PLACES AND UPON THE SEAS DISTRESS OF NATIONS"
There is a fascinating debate taking place on CNN tonight. It appears to feature many prominent New Agers debating each other on the Nuclear Power issue. I tend to agree more with the pro-nuclear than the anti-Nuclear elements. CNN tonight was playing the Sundance film of Pandora's Promise.
The pro-nuclear people claim it will reverse climate change. Of course, my readers know I am deeply skeptical about the human-caused climate change claims. However, it appears that there may be divisions in the New Age world between the "too many people" and "we must supply energy to the world's growing population" elements of the New Age Movement.
Ralph Nader and the Sierra Club are lined upon the side of "alternative energy", i.e. windpower, solar power, etc. Stewart Brand (Whole Earth Catalog), Newt Gingrich, and others are lined up on the "we need more nuclear power NOW side of the debate.
I must confess I found it refreshing to find New Agers of the obvious Environmental Movement division such as Amory Lovins, Helen Caldicott, Ralph Nader, the Sierra Club and others taken to task for propagandizing the world in general and USA in particular against nuclear power use.
My jury is still out on the nuclear safety issue. I tend to believe it may be necessary to supply necessary electricity and conveniences to struggling people in Third and Fourth World countries. I don't think "global warming" is a rationale. But I think those advocating for the need for expansion of nuclear power supplies may be correct. Even though the bulk of the debaters are New Agers, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
What do you think?
Stay tuned!

Major earthquake in Philippines; Economic earthquake in Washington -- the times, they appear apocalyptic
The United States government has been in a form of "shutdown" since October 1st. Looming today is the spectre of tomorrow's "governmental default." Immediately after the stock market closed yesterday, financial rating service THE FITCH GROUP announced it was placing the country on a AAA negative watch list.
I don't know which faction I am angriest at: the "Affordable Health Care" with its forced contraception service payments being forced upon conscientious religious objectors and the fines for those unable to afford expensive health insurance (even those with same will have annual "donuts" of moneys that must be paid out of pocket first before insurance coverage kicks in) OR the TEA PARTY.
In my opinion, this may be a charade that inures to the benefit of the WORLD GOVERNMENT, Oooops, GLOBAL GOVERNANCE proponents.
Something ugly is brewing in the winds. I am hearing too much talk of "global currency reset." I have had panicked phone calls from clients re same and found plenty of discussion of same on the internet.
The slightly toned down G-20 websites are openly talking about a "TIME OF TRANSITION" or THE TRANSITION.
This ominous Washington possible default news has pushed to the back pages items that would otherwise be critical worldwide news: A devastating 7.2 earthquake in the Central Philippines. A devastating typhoon hit Japan the same day. Both happened yesterday. "Earthquakes in divers places" and/or "upon the seas distress of nations"?? Forgive me for even daring to think it!
This was the talk of what the New Agers hoped would happen to our government back in the early to later 1980s with "Harmonic Convergence," "Crystal Earth Papers," and Barbara Marx Hubbard's infamous THE BOOK OF CO-CREATION: THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
Jose Arguelles, a co-laborer with Barbara Marx Hubbard on creating events designed to CHANGE TIMES to a 13 month calendar died in Australia in 2011. The biographical books about his life tell us that he was raised a Lutheran but deeply immersed himself in the writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Alice Ann Bailey, inter alia, as an adult. He was the one who started the 2012 movement.
Since then all have been talking about EMERGENCE and THE SHIFT.
I don't know about the others. I pray I am wrong, but the events of October 2013 look like the long delayed events of the New Agers to me. Same sex marriages encouraged with additional leave days for military personnel entering into same?
I don't like to quote Theosophical writers such as Yeats, but for those who reject Book of Daniel, Book of Revelation plain warnings, how about Yeats' line: "WHAT STRANGE BEAST IS THIS, ITS HOUR COME ROUND AT LAST,SLOUCHES TOWARD BETHLEHEM WAITING TO BE BORN"??!!
This all looks apocalyptic to me. All ten virgins were sleeping. All ten virgins eventually woke up. Five had enough oil in their lamp to go meet their Lord, five did not.
Maybe it's high time to go "oil shopping."

Peggy Cuddy's Amazing New Age Movement Chart
To my readers:
Last week I interviewed Dennis Cuddy the second hour of my internet radio program. Dennis mentioned his mother Peggy who has been researching the New Age Movement for many years herself had developed a remarkable chart on the New Age Movement. Peggy Cuddy's independent research was one of the very first to be sent to my attention after my local work became nationally publicized in 1982. I had the pleasure of talking with Peggy Cuddy, Dennis' mother a few times. Dennis I have spoken with often and highly respect his work. Dennis sent me a copy of his mother's chart and I'm reproducing it here for you. Valuable work it is indeed! Enjoy! Click on the chart to enlarge them to full page. Feel free to reproduce them and pass them on to those in need of accurate information on the New Age Movement in its many stems and branches.

Matthew Fox Associates - MALIDOMA - EARTH RITUAL workshop this weekend September 13-15, 2013
A New Ager I have kept tabs on since the beginning of my research starting in 1981 was "Theologian" Matthew Fox (born 1940). He was born as "Timothy Fox." Matthew was the name he adopted when he entered the Roman Catholic priesthood. He wreaked much damage across the board in theological circles. His influence was felt across the entirety of the New Age Movement. His publishing company, Bear & Company, subsequently merged in 2000 to with the operations of New York occultist Ehud Sperling, and his "Inner Traditions". Some of the most shockingly blasphemous literature of the New Age Movement including the works of close Matthew Fox associate Barbara Hand Clow have come from the spider like workings of Matthew Fox and his "religious" associates.
Although both Randy England (Unicorn in the Sanctuary author) and I were both rudely challenged by Fr. Matt Pacwa's then defense of Matthew Fox who was subsequently excommunicated as a Roman Catholic priest in 1993 (about time!), Fox's New Age commitments were some of the deepest held in the Movement.
One of his associates was an African by the name of MALIDOMA. I learned this on my ongoing library review which now has included Matthew Fox's autobiographical work, CONFESSIONS OF A POST-DENOMINATIONAL PRIEST.
"Malidoma" had up until now largely escaped my radar. Thankfully, he had not escaped CARRIE TOMKO's. Carrie left our world on April 6, 2009, but her work lives on in her valuable archives. You may access them by going to http://www.carrietomko.blogspot.com.
Malidoma, an African promoting African style earth worship and paganism was once a professor at the University of Michigan, only approximately 40 miles from my home. My own work is archived there at the Bentley Historical Library.
The Promise Keepers Movement active in the 1990s and beyond drew heavily on the Men's Movement, a New Age operation largely shepherded by Robert Bly. Robert Bly worked closely, as did Matthew Fox, with Malidoma. Fox's autobiography CONFESSIONS opens with accounts of his conversations with Malidoma (pages 10-11, HarperSanFrancisco paperback edition, 1997)/
As that was then, I decided to see what was going with Malidoma now, and I found plenty.
This is from Carrie Tomko's accounts of this gang which includes Fox, Joanna Macy, John Seed, Earth Spirit Rising Council of Elders,
IMAGO AND CULTIVATING CONNECTIONS
are sponsoring the EarthSpirit Rising Conference once again.
IMAGO is an "earth centered" organization located near Cincinnati, Ohio. Undoubtedly, it has close links with another Catholic New Age organization that Ohioans turned me onto starting in 1982: Yup, just checked and Grailville's facebook page makes that close relationship clear!
This brings me to a main point of my concern with the New Age spiritualities, the Environmental Movement, etc., ad nauseum, where they are clearly headed is in no small part, mandatory Earth worship. This is a clear theological line that we dare not cross. The much maligned biblical Book of Revelation contains critical language in chapter 14:
The message of this movement of which Matthew Fox (the theologian, not the actor by the same name) are such a prominent part is that we worship the earth, we worship the seas, we worship ourselves; we worship our our Ancestors (prominently advocated by Malidoma); we worship "the universe," we worship even Lucifer -- we worship everything and everybody but the Good Lord who created it.
The New Age Movement has many rabbit holes for us to wander down, but they all lead to potential ruin and desolation. There is no advantage -- either here or in the hereafter -- to abandon our Creator by worshipping all else and ourselves as "co-evolutionists."
This very weekend "Malidoma" is conducting a form of Earth Worship workshop which they call "Earth Ritual." My prescription? Be aware, but don't participate.

are sponsoring the EarthSpirit Rising Conference once again.
2005 EarthSpirit Rising Conference comes to Cincinnati
Cultivating Connections and Imago are pleased to annouce that Cincinnati's own Xavier University will host EarthSpirit Rising: A Conference on Ecology, Spirituality, and Community. We live in a time of crisis-crisis of Earth, crisis of Spirit, and crisis of Community. Many of us have come to recognize that these crises are not separate, but interpenetrating dimensions that must be addressed as a whole. It is only through understanding the deep interconnections between Earth, Spirit, and Community that we will be able to transform this time of crisis into a time of hope.
EarthSpirit Rising 2005 explores the connections between ecology and spirituality through the lens of community. We recognize that without community and collective action our hope for a more ecologically sustainable and spiritually rich world will never be realized.
Matthew Fox and John Seed will be back again for encore performances. No mention of the Council of All Beings this time, though. Maybe they have decided to tone down the channeling. I wonder what Matthew Fox's "9 C's of Education" are? They have some ritual tucked into Malidoma Some presentation. They are going to talk about "Dagara cosmology"...as opposed to Catholic cosmology, one wonders?The organizers are described here. Notice down there on the bottom the Brueggeman Center for Dialogue at Xavier University? That magical word "dialogue" that exempts Catholic facilities from teaching the faith...Check out the "Conference Related Links". Foundation for Shamanic Studies???????????????They are offering a Youth Conference for ages 8-14. Wonder what sort of program is going to fall under "creative expressions"? Would you trust your kids to a bunch of conference organizers who provided a lesson in channeling called Council of All Beings at a previous EarthSpirit Rising Conference?They are having an EarthSpirit Rising Council of Earth Elders. The Earth Elders want to arrange the "transformation of human-earth relations." Did you know you can have relations with a planet? Stick with the nuns and they will guide you through "these times of great danger and great hope"...with the help of their "ally" gleaned from the Council of All Beings held at a previous EarthSpirit Rising Conference, perhaps.Look at the lineup for the "Experiential Sessions"! It would take an entire day to explore all of these presenters. I'm intrigued by the "Sacred Body, Sacred Community" presentation "inspired by nature mystics." It includes "chants and circle dances that create a deep, connecting, and healing experience of being fully in our bodies, connecting with each other in a deeply reverent way, and celebrating the mutual blessing that we are to one another and the rest of the Earth Community."
Looks like it is taking place in a Catholic University again.
It also looks like the nuns haven't shied away from sponsoring it.

6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
The message of this movement of which Matthew Fox (the theologian, not the actor by the same name) are such a prominent part is that we worship the earth, we worship the seas, we worship ourselves; we worship our our Ancestors (prominently advocated by Malidoma); we worship "the universe," we worship even Lucifer -- we worship everything and everybody but the Good Lord who created it.

California's newest "Protection" law - California gender identity protection bill 2013 - Ultimate depths of degradation?
Just about the time you think it can't get much worse, it does! Jesus reminded us that the biblical last days would be likened both to the days of Noah and the Genesis flood as well as to Sodom and Gomorrah. I rather suspect that even Sodom and Gomorrah condemned residents might have blushed at current events in California these past few days. After all, they had Abraham's cousin Lot "sitting in their gates," i.e., being the local Judge. They knew he disapproved of their deviant activities. California is apparently disqualifying all with frowning views on such as ineligible for even parenting -- let alone judging.
California Governor Jerry Brown has just signed into law a most preposterous bill -- a bill that to my trained legal eye looks like the ultimate in child abuse itself -- billed as one to "protect transgendered children" (or those perceiving themselves as same). The bill currently endangers all others and those allegedlly "transgendered" children themselves who more likely than not are the victims of the childhood exploiters who would convince highly suggestible children that they are something other than the good Lord above packaged them. Now your little girls must share gym facilites and restrooms with little boys who suddenly proclaim themselves as little girls despite their outward genitalia. Your little boys must likewise share with little girls who do likewise. And California law passed last year prohibits parents from seeking counseling for their children against this unseemly suggestibility! And they have the nerve to call it "progressive"!
Read the ugly law, Assembly Bill 1266, now enacted and signed by California Governor Jerry Brown by pressing here.
Under this new abomination passing itself off as "law," if your little boy, even a kindergartner, wants to think of himself as a little girl, he must be allowed to use the little girls toilets and public restroom facilities. Ditto if your precious little girl wants to think of herself as a boy.
And should a California parent try to protect his or her precious little ones from the obvious psychological abuse from others of his child that has resulted in the child having these opinions that he (or she) is not as the good Lord created him to be, such counseling about the child's true "gender orientation" is illegal, too! Governor Jerry Brown signed that bill, California Senate Bill 1172 into law on September 30, 2012. It went into effect on January 1, 2013. You may read that bill as signed by the Governor in its ugly entirety by pressing here.
It is not hard to imagine a scenario -- probably undoubtedly existing -- where hordes of LGBT militant activists will be patrolling and spying on parents via New Age techniques of school homework "journaling" assignments to ferret out parents who dare defy or counsel their children.
How are California Christians responding? It is hard to tell which responses are honest Christian reactions and which are "emerging church" compromises? Here is one brochure issued for California Christian counselors. It's clearly compromised nature is personally distressing to the undersigned.
Jesus clearly warned as recorded in the Book of Matthew that it would be better for somebody to be hung around the neck with a millstone and drowned than to suffer the eternal fate of one causing a child to go astray. (Matthew 18:6) Isaiah clearly warned "woe to those who call evil good and good evil." (Isaiah 5:20-21).
I wonder if California Governor Jerry Brown still perceives of himself as a good Catholic Christian? I wonder how long until the President will applaud the California legislation? I wonder of the old hymn that goes "how long, Lord Jesus, how long, how long, till we sing the glad song, Christ returneth."
I can remember reading nothing in apocalyptic novels or end time movies that even remotedly approached the obvious wickedness in this legislation that under the guise of "protection" leaves our small children to the predations of the so-called "LGBT community".
May the Lord help us all. May the Holy Spirit impress upon those promoting these measures that their eternal bodies and souls may be at everlasting risk. There is still room and time for repentance, but maybe not much!
Stay tuned!

DETROIT HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY, NBC HINTS CHICAGO MAY FACE SIMILAR PERILOUS TIMES
A long time victim of the New World Order of "globalization," as well as many other factors: crime, out-sourcing of local employment, excessive college tuition rates, and declining local population in a huge metropolitan region still called by the name of the core city, Detroit, things have come to a local head. Kevyn Orr, the Emergency Financial Manager appointed by Michigan's governor electronically filed for bankruptcy at 4:01 p.m. this afternoon. Many people have panned Detroit, but I still love the city. The more I traveled, which was particularly heavy throughout the 1980s and somewhat in the 1990's and years 2000-2010, the more I appreciated our beautiful region. We are blessed with the Great Lakes, abundant crops, proximity to Canada, many fine believing Christians, and we have had relative racial peace since the Detroit riots which plagued this town in 1967 and sporadically for a few years thereafter.
NBC reported on this bankruptcy tonight and gave broad hints on the 6:30 evening news that Chicago may be facing similar crises.
It was Detroit where I discovered the New Age Movement's existence and watched powerful manifestations of it in such spectacles as Benjamin Creme speaking at the Unity Center for Holistic Living (formerly the very large Palmer Park Christian Science Church) on November 4, 1981. A few weeks thereafter David Spangler spoke at University of Michigan expense to a fairly large crowd there. I witnessed both events.
Suburban Detroit (Ferndale, Michigan) was the home of the very large Mayflower Bookstore. It was there and at Middle Earth Books in Sterling Heights, Michigan as well as the Michigan Metaphysical Society also in Berkley where I collected much of the documentation that was used in THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW released by Huntington House in 1983.
But, it was also Detroit where prominent academics such as Dr. Wesley Gould and others at Wayne State University gave encouragement and support to my research and work during the crucial incubator days of it. It was Detroit where prominent members of the Detroit City Council such as Marianne Mahaffey vouched for my credibility. It was the DETROIT FREE PRESS that did a page and a half picture story on my work that helped turn the tide and woke people to the reality of the New Age Movement.
I have deep affection for this town. It was a black female evangelist who is still living but quite elderly, Missionary Hattie Humphrey, who first summoned me to speak about the topic after I talked to her about my research on a political boat ride for our then mutual friend, Detroit City Clerk Jim Bradley. Mr. Bradley left our world in 1997.
I had crucial support from Detroiters. I was invited to present my research in 1982, even prior to the newspaper story, to the combined staffs of three members of the Detroit City Council: Marianne Mahaffey, Nicholas Hood, and John People.
I was not raised in Detroit. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from high school in Roanoke, Indiana. When I became a Detroiter in late 1965, for the first time I had access to affordable institutions of higher learning that eventually afforded me the opportunity to become an attorney -- a remote, if not impossible dream, in my original home town.
Detroit is my adopted city. It has received much bad press from many. It is a BEAUTIFUL CITY and one well worth visiting. Pray for our region. It is one where much good and much evil have seen collision, but I do believe God has had his merciful hand on it.
I'm sorry I have posted so little the past few weeks. I'm still writing and have been digesting an intensive review of my library and have been somewhat busier as a lawyer recently.
Stay tuned! There will be more and that book is definitely in the hopper.

THE RIOTS IN TURKEY ARE NEW AGE INSTIGATED AND LED!
We've had some discussion back and forth on the blog between "Evangelical" who thinks the Turkish rioters are fighting forced Islam and deserve our support vs. myself who maintains they are New Age instigated and led.
Today, investigating the various websites of prominent New Agers Steve & Barbara Rother, I found the following. It is most revealing. If you had doubts that this was a New Age exercise in progress, this should tell you that indeed it was and is.
Also, TIME Magazine has a significant article in its June 24, 2013 issue. Ours arrived yesterday. The theme was "The Informers: Why a New Generation of Hacktivists is driven to spill the government's secrets." The author is Michael Scherer. Reading it, I recalled my earliest reading of New Age sources back in 1981. The very night I drafted the first few chapters of THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW, I commented on how they valued survival skills and back to nature instincts while at the same time calling for the entire world to be interconnected with computers with incredible snooping capabilities. I certainly agree that the government had vastly overreached and we had a right to know that they were snooping on us. However, the motivation to reveal it may well have been a type of New Age religious impulse on a generation raised on New Age thinking.
Here is a link for the video: http://spiritlibrary.com/videos/lightworker/turkey-in-motion-a-special-report.
Watch it and also read the TIME MAGAZINE article for necessary insights into the continuing New Age revolution in progress. Interestingly, the interviewer on the video is one more claiming that their "shift occurred" on December 22, 2012, as did Barbara Marx Hubbard.
According to Carol Brooks who has an informative material on "The Global Alliance" which can be found at http://www.inplainsite.org/html/the_global_alliance.html, Steve Rother has presented his rather dubious "channeled" material at the UN at least 5 times.

Was Michele Bachmann betrayed by Unification Church fellow travelers?

WAS MICHELE BACHMANN BETRAYED BY PETER C. WALDRON AND UNIFICATION CHURCH INTERESTS?
© 2013 by Constance E. Cumbey, all rights reserved
I have never belonged to the Tea Party or any of its affiliates. That is not to say that I oppose many of their aims. Their tactics, rhetoric and strategies have often not coincided with my own notions of effective advocacy. That being said, today I find myself in the deepest sympathy with one of their most prominent personages -- Congressman Michele Bachmann. I strongly suspect she has been set up and betrayed by a skilled political operative who has skillfully worked the Christian world while simultaneously enjoying financial backing from Unification Church interests. His name is Peter C. Waldron. He was on the news A LOT today bragging about the complaints he had filed against the same boss he claimed the Holy Spirit had sent him to – Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.
I pioneered much of the preliminary expository work against the New Age Movement starting in 1981. From 1982 to 1986 from time to time I was interviewed on a program called CONTACT AMERICA by its founder and host Pete Waldron. As he did with Michele Bachmann, Mr. Waldron long professed to be one of my dearest friends and supporters. As Michele Bachmann undoubtedly did, to her regret, I trusted him and took him at his word. This came for me to a crashing halt in February 1986. Peter Waldron, who skillfully worked the two sides of what I call the "false dichotomy" of the two sided coin of dogmatic pre-tribulation rapture proponents ("LEFT BEHIND") of Tim LaHaye as well as the "we'll build the Kingdom of God here on earth -- in time, in space, in history" of Gary North and Pat Robertson, clearly had the help of a sinister "third force" of Unification Church money. That money tainted and bought silence against attacks on the New Age Movement, or at least the Unification Church faction thereof.
Michele Bachmann has always impressed me as a sincere Christian, one who has been unfortunately used by the so-called “Christian Reconstruction Movement” elements. One of her key legal mentors was John Eidsmoe. I made his acquaintance over the years as he too unsuccessfully sought my endorsement of the Christian Reconstruction agenda. I do not know where he stands on these issues now as I have not talked with him since our initial meeting over dinner in the 1980s before Gary North showed his real colors -- sending a letter that "Constance Cumbey will have fits when she sees our next book." Gary North was calling for his own "New World Order" -- machinery he claimed would be "for Jesus" and call for cruelly putting to death their opponents. He was right. I had fits!
The Christian Reconstruction agenda was largely pioneered and headed by Gary North and his allegedly estranged father-in-law, Rousas John Rushdoony. They too were going to build "a New World Order" -- for Jesus, or so they said. Their loudly proclaimed agenda was building the perfect rationale for treating American Christians as Taliban / Al Quaeda precursors. They would kill their opposition, starting with dissidents against same in conservative Christian circles and take over the world by fire and by sword -- for Jesus, of course!
Like Al Quaeda and the Taliban, the Christian Reconstruction Movement publicly displayed their anti-Semitism and hatred of the Nation of Israel. Their books, tapes, and pamphlets gave rich material to anti-Christian elements to label the rest of us as "dangerous."
Peter C. Waldron and Gary North publicly collaborated and co-wrote one of the foundational books of the Christian Reconstruction Movement -- REBUILDING THE WALL.
Among Michele Bachmann's acknowledged mentors were those who tried to be my own. They sought to co-opt my opposition to the New Age Movement to be construed as support for the Christian Reconstruction Movement.
There have long been false dichotomies between the Christian Reconstruction Movement and the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Movement. In my studied opinion, they are two sides of the same coin – both movements wittingly or unwittingly preparing people for end time disillusionment and deception.
Pete Waldron has had strange long-time alliances with both sides. He has had close friendships and working relationships with both Tim LaHaye and Gary North. I was personally acquainted with Peter Waldron, although it has been nearly 28 years since I last spoke with him. Prior to our last encounter in February 2006, I was interviewed on several of Mr. Waldron's radio programs "Contact America." Then came Colorado Springs, Colorado -- February 1986. I was the keynote speaker there for an Eagle Forum conference. Peter Waldron was another speaker. I opened the conference on Friday night. Saturday featured a panel discussion and workshops. It was then that we shared the speaker’s platform. I considered our relationship cordial. Immediately prior to the conference, we had both flown from Washington, D.C. I would be continuing on to Denver to speak whereas Peter Waldron would be returning that same day.
My assigned topic was New Age infiltration of the Christian world. One of the biggest and most flagrant example of this was Unification Church payouts to Evangelical churches and ministries. The month before we both spoke, an article appeared in Mother Jones magazine. It raised serious issues of compromised relationships between certain leaders of the Christian Right, to wit, Tim LaHaye and Unification Church. The article was fairly written. Its author said that she did not intend to imply that most evangelical Christians would endorse Rev. Moon -- to the contrary, most would consider Bo Hi Pak, number two in command of Unification Church -- a church proclaiming the divinity and messiahship of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, to be nothing less than "an altar boy to the antichrist." Well said.
I was wishing I had that article with me as Exhibit A on my required presentation. I had not brought it. Fortunately, Jayne Schindler, Colorado Eagle Forum president had packed it with her. She asked me to comment on it. As my Saturday timed presentation was nearing an end, I merely said that this was one more sorry example of how New Age interests were co-opting and compromising Christian circles.
Pete Waldron flew home to Washington, D.C. and swiftly delivered this to Rev. Tim LaHaye who was already doing damage control on the expository article. I detailed what happened next as part of my 2006 NewswithViews series on "the Hi-Jacking of Evangelicalism." Links may be found by clicking here and here.
My educated guess? I don't know Michele Bachmann. She, however, strikes me, at least from her public persona, as a sincere and dedicated Christian. She may have been taken in for a time and a season by the Christian Reconstruction crowd, but in my opinion, she would never consent to compromise of her faith. She has now been apparently used by those a little more cynical who have few qualms about using Unification Church moneys to build "God's Kingdom" or more likely their own personal kingdoms. Peter Waldron sought me out and then betrayed me when he discovered I staunchly opposed Unification Church interests and their evangelical fellow travelers, whether for ideology or more likely for money.
Peter Waldron, per published accounts, has worked closely with one Bob Selle, a leading Unificationist and publisher. This was apparently preceded by his relationship with Tim LaHaye who was clearly financing portions of his operation from Unification Church contributions from what he called "a fine conservative gentleman -- Bo Hi Pak."
I recall so clearly events of the Monday after the Saturday speech in Colorado Springs. That day included a lengthy telephone debate cut short by Tim LaHaye by a hangup. The call was on "his nickel" and was placed by him to me in Colorado Springs. Wanda Leonard was present when these events transpired in the second week of February, 1986. I also learned the next month that Beverly LaHaye had given instructions to her Concerned Women of America leadership conference that under no circumstances were they to give me a platform.
My guess is that as a true Christian, Michele Bachmann was of little long-term use to the more cynical elements of the Christian world who viewed success in terms of money rather than righteousness. I'm sure that Peter C. Waldron will now be a new hero of the left-wing elements who have been crowing about her imminent demise. I'm sure they won't cry about her over at Unification Church either. After all, Michele Bachmann believes Jesus -- not Reverend Moon is the true "Lord of the Second Advent." As such, it is my belief based on experience that there is little room for her in the New World Order that some of Peter C. Waldron’s other friends such as Unificationist Bob Selle desire.
These things were well prophesied –there would be false messiahs, betrayers, false accusers. It appears to me that Michele Bachmann, a well meaning, courageous Christian who has had to deal with politics at a very public and mean level has now experienced same from those with a long history of questionable alliances and betrayals.

AGENTS OF CONTROL - 2nd hour Saturday program
I'm sometimes sent interesting books for review. One of them was sent by Pastor John DeJacomo, a friend of Dr. Stanley Monteith. It is AGENTS OF CONTROL. I invited Pastor DeJacomo to share his perspective on current world events particularly as they related to scriptural prophecy. He will be with me the second hour. His book covers many of the same issues I covered over the years. We will have open lines for those who wish to call in and ask questions. Please join us for both hours.
I'm currently working on an extensive article about current New Age infiltration of Roman Catholic circles among Catholic sisters -- not only in the USA, but many other places, including Australia where it appears to be particularly blatant.

Global Core Curriculum -- Robert Muller is dead but his AAB inspired 'Global Core Curriculum' lives.
Dorothy Margraf has sent me word that there are substantial new developments on the New Age war front against orthodox religion aka "fundamentalism." Robert Muller long ago claimed to have developed the "global core curriculum". He then said that he couldn't take personal credit -- that he had to give credit where credit was due -- to the Tibetan Master Dhwhal Khul. For the benefit of the 'uninitiated,' that was the 'presence' or more likely demon speaking through Alice Ann Bailey and her Lucifer Publishing Company renamed in 1923 as Lucis Publishing Company 'Tibetan telepathically dictated' writings.
Dorothy is doing heavy research on current developments on that front and has significant materials at her Facebook site. Here is a link she supplied there for Foreign Affairs Journal of CFR, December 2010 issue. The article is entitled "A Globalized God."
I was encouraged to see that the new Pope Francis upheld the rebuke of the LCWR that I also addressed in my article "Little Sisters of the New World Religion". You may also read it at the NewswithViews site where it was co-published. Pope Francis' upholding of the former Pope Benedict XVI's rebuke of the American nuns departure from religious orthodoxy was a definite set back to the New Age / New World Religion crowd. BUT, they are busy on other fronts as well.
Dorothy is doing some valuable research on their attempts to proselytize their New World Religion through our educational systems. I thank her for bringing my attention to the CFR inputs on the Global Core Curriculum.

These are two Baptist preachers telling it the way it is about the deception that has the potential to destroy the faith of so many.
I do disagree with the part about the devil still being in heaven "going back and forth" for the reason that Jesus very plainly said, "I beheld Satan fall as lightning from heaven." That lines up with Isaiah 14, "how art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer . . ."

60 MINUTES, LCWR, OR SHOULD IT BE "LITTLE SISTERS OF THE NEW WORLD RELIGION"?
This immediate past Sunday,
St. Patrick's Day, 2013, CBS' 60 MINUTES (Sixty Minutes) presented a portrayal of American Nuns,
or at least those represented by the LCWR (Leadership Conference of Women
Religious) as allegedly 'persecuted' victims of a new Catholic Church "Inquisition”.
It featured LCWR President Pat Farrell talking plaintively with
correspondent Scott Pelley. The American nuns were being
"persecuted" for alleged lack of religious orthodoxy. The
Vatican office "persecuting" them was one and the same, under a
changed name as "The Inquisition" ("Supreme Congregation of the
Roman and Universal Inquisition). In 1904 the name was changed to
the "Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office" for the Doctrine
of the Faith . The present name of the office charged with maintaining
religious fidelity in the Roman Catholic Church is the "Congregation for
the Doctrine of the Faith (Congregatio
pro Doctrina Fidel).[1]
A new inquisition?
Well, since nobody I know particularly wants that old medieval bloody
spectacle, I thought I would look into it. What I discovered was
something particularly different. If anything ever justified an
"inquisition," apart from the extreme teachings of excommunicated
Catholic priest Matthew Fox, this scene just might.
What is the LCWR and just
what do they stand for?
"LCWR" is the
acronym for Leadership Conference of Women Religious." [2] It
purports to represent Catholic women religious, e.g. Sisters or nuns of various
religious orders. Its president appeared on that 60 Minutes program this
past Sunday, March 17, 2013. I suspect Saint Patrick himself would have
cried in dismay at what was said there on his feast day.
The nuns were, per Farrell
and Scott Pelley "persecuted" e.g. criticized and asked to reform,
because of their alleged lack of religious orthodoxy. Just what was this lack of alleged religious
orthodoxy? Was it failing to say rosaries? No! Was it for
eating steak on Lenten Fridays? No!
It was instead for their
blatant radical feminist as well as New Age agenda and theologies. It was for having openly New Age leader
Barbara Marx Hubbard as their 2012 Convention speaker telling all that
"God is not 3 Guys in the Sky". The theme of that convention
was “MYSTERY UNFOLDING: LEADING IN
THE EVOLUTIONARY NOW.” It was further
for taking Barbara Marx Hubbard as a religious mentor, indeed as the keynote
speaker for the 2012 St. Louis, Missouri convention. You can watch
segments for yourself by going to this link. I suggest you use an
appropriate saving program and/or your video camera to record it. I
suspect it might rapidly disappear upon the publication and dissemination of
this article.
This deviation from religious
orthodoxy was indeed deep and fundamental. It was truly not orthodox Roman
Catholicism, but instead was a form of promotion of a New World Religion. Under Pope John Paul II, the Roman Catholic
Church took official stands against New Age religion as utterly incompatible
with Christianity. Pope John Paul
II made his first public pronouncement
against it to American bishops meeting at the Vatican in June 1993. Official provisional Vatican documents
warning against it were released against in in 2003. Here is a link to reading JESUS CHRIST THEBEARER OF THE WATER OF LIFE: A CHRISTIAN REFLECTION ON THE “NEW AGE” I
I'll say this for that
bunch. They never quit. This reminds me of an earlier equally
disgraceful 1985 event in St. Louis, Missouri. That was the April 8-11, 1985 NCEA Convention
(National Catholic Education Association). Prominent New Age
activists starred and ran that convention under the blessings of its then
president, also a nun. The theme that year was "Catholic Schools:
Sharing Vision, Teaching Values." The “vision” they were
sharing and the values they were teaching were distinctly New Age ones. They came in no small part from Lucis Trust
itself. For the benefit of the "uninitiated" Lucis Trust
started life under its founders Alice and Foster Bailey as Lucifer Publishing
Company. I have three books in my personal library under that Lucifer
Publishing imprint. Robert Muller, one of its activist members also
serving opportunely as the Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations in
charge of 37 agencies, including but not limited to UNESCO was the keynote speaker
for that convention. Global Education Associates (founded and headed by
Gerald and Patricia Mische) conducted workshops openly praising and
recommending Lucis Trust books and sources. New Age writer Robert
Theobald presented workshops.
I was asked to come to that
convention by now deceased Elaine Beckers-Braun, a Kansas City early supporter
of my expository work against the New Age Movement. She bought an airline
ticket, paid my entry fees and arranged for my presence at that event. Early in the morning of my first day there,
still nursing a headache, I was awakened by Elaine grumbling that they needed a
"Resolution." She then said, “there's a typewriter.” I mumbled back, “that's a nice typewriter.” Elaine barked,”get up and start writing. I did. Elaine had it typeset, published
and circulated while I was away later that afternoon doing a radio interview.
When I returned, people were clutching their sides and laughing.
The conference organizers were not laughing. They were distinctly embarrassed. The resolution circulators were threatened
with unexecuted threats for convention expulsion and even arrest. The
conservative Catholic paper THE WANDERER made it their feature story for
the next week. Needless to say, the 1986 convention was relatively
"toned down" at least from an overt New Age sense. If you would
like your personal copy of that Resolution which I recently found and scanned
to disk, email me at cumbey@gmail.com with the subject line "1985 NCEA
Resolution." I'll email it back to you as a .pdf attachment.
Well, the same Catholic with
a very small “c” New Agers are emboldened and they are back. It is
amazing how many of the same old players are in the game. Now they are
"much longer in the tooth" and angry at their nearly 30 year delay of
their plans for inaugurating their "New World Religion" with its
"New Christ" for "the New Age." As before they are
attempting to use the Roman Catholic Church as well as evangelical subverts and
cohorts to do their business.
The LCWR has been greatly used by its NewAge factions.
Barbara Marx Hubbard was the lead speaker for the 2012 Convention.
You can view the photograph montage video for yourself by visiting the
LCWR website https://lcwr.org/assembly. That will give you an option to go to this link: . A handy "tinyurl" address is http://tinyurl.com/cmbj9bj.
As these and the other New Age fellow travelers play a delightful little game
of "Now you see us, now you don't," I recommend you save it or
video-photograph it for yourself. For only $50 you may order the actual
DVD of Barbara Marx Hubbard's entire LCWR presentation. Of course, the
Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is FREE and definitely a much better bargain
than the LCWR spectacle.
Keynoter Barbara Marx Hubbard
tells these theologically renegade nuns "you are the best seed bed for
evolving the Church and the world in the 21st Century."
I'm happy I've had the
privilege of meeting so very many fine Cathoic nuns who definitely do not share
their opinions and would recoil at the prospect of Barbara Marx Hubbard
advocating at their meetings.
I note for the record, as I
did in my past NewswithViews series that Barbara Marx Hubbard performed similar
“honors” for a conference held with Evangelical leaders at Gold Lake, Colorado
on October 23-26, 1987. She co-chaired
that meeting with none other than Doug Coe.
The event was underwritten by Fellowship Founder core group member Paul
N. Temple, his daughter and his son in law. Paul
Temple is also known as the co-Founder and President Emeritus of the
decidedly New Age “Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS).The theme of that meeting was “Bridging through Christ.” I note cynically that they failed to tell the
Christian participants, “which 'Christ”.
You may review that equally sorry situation by visiting my old NewswithViews archives on “The Hi-Jacking of Evangelicalism.”
Well, since 60 Minutes raised the subject of
"Inquisition," I thought we might explore what Barbara Marx Hubbard
whom they sponsored and endorsed had in mind as inquisition punishments for
those not accepting her own "New Gospel." Selected passages
definitely read in context from her book THE BOOK OF CO-CREATION, THE BOOK
OF REVELATION are telling. First of
all, the old serpentine lie of thumb your nose at God and thou shalt be as gods
is presented:
Believers in your potential to be me, listen now. You have nothing to fear. Eternal life is already yours. An irreversible process has begun in you which can no more be turned off than the mechanism of puberty. You will go the whole way to become co-creative. You may be killed, but you shall not die. You shall be resurrected, as I was . If you are called upon to suffer and die during the tribulations, you must keep in mind at all times that the suffering of the present cannot compare with the glory which shall be revealed in you. Yours the glory, yours the power, O believers in your potential to be Christ-like humans.[3]
She (and the obvious demons speaking through her) project
a very unpleasant fate for those who do not accept that very newest version of
their peculiar version of Revelation:
Out of the full spectrum of human personality, one-fourth is electing to transcend with all their heart, mind and spirit. One -fourth is ready to so choose, given the example of one other who has made the commitment. One-fourth is resistant to election . They are unattracted by life ever-evolving . Their higher self is unable to penetrate the density of their mammalian senses. They cannot be reached. They do not ask ...yet they are good . They go about their business, eating, sleeping, reproducing and dying . They are full-fledged animal/humans. One-fourth is destructive. They are born angry with God. They hate themselves. They project this hatred onto the world . They are defective seeds.
There have always been defective seeds. In the past they were permitted to die a "natural death." Their bodies were recycled to new life, and their souls reincarnated in bodies capable of receiving signals from the higher self.
Well, in the past we
"one-fourth defective seeds" were permitted to die a "natural
death." Not so in their "New Age" projected future.
Read on:
Now as we approach the quantum shift from creature-human to co-creative human . . . the destructive one-fourth must be eliminated from the social body. We have no choice, dearly beloveds. It is a case of the destruction of the whole planet, or the elimination of the ego-driven, godless one-fourth who, at this time of planetary birth, can, if allowed to live on to reproduce their defective disconnection, destroy forever the opportunity of Homo sapiens to become Homo universalis, heirs of God . . . Before this stage of power can be inherited by the God-centered members of the social body, the self-centered members must be destroyed. There is no alternative. Only the God-centered can evolve. Only the good endures. [4]
Why are they doing it (killing us 'defective seeds, i.e.
those not accepting their theological babbling)? Why for the 'sake of the
world, of course. Read on:
We come to bring death to those who are unable to know God. We do this for the sake of the world.
Well, now if executed as promised, that's the
real Inquisition. A bloody one at that!
Maybe the good sisters of
the LCWR didn't know what Barbara Marx Hubbard really stood for. Maybe
they, the educational elite of the various religious orders were merely guilty
of sloppy scholarship. Is that what Catholic parents really want as
education for their children? I suspect not!
Cardinal Levada, Pope
Benedict's successor as head of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith,
himself theologically liberal enough to sponsor and endorse United Religions unsuccessfully remonstrated with these
renegade nuns over their theology. If it was bad enough to shock Cardinal
Levada, it was bad indeed! Levada threatened in his correspondence with
LCWR to have it de-certified as a Catholic organization. Plans were allegedly discussed to create and
authorize a new organization more representative of traditional Catholic Church
theological views than this organization, even radical by Cardinal Levada's
relatively relaxed standards. For
more information on “United Religions Initiative, read Lee Penn's excellent
book, FALSE
DAWN.
Well, if the LCWR women
'religious' win this battle, they might consider a new name more indicative of
their own new "evolutionary theology." I respectfully suggest
this: “THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE NEW WORLD RELIGION."
The "persecuted
nuns" of the LCWR had as their 2012 convention theme: "Mystery
Unfolding: Leading in the Evolutionary Now." They may well
want to consider instead, the old discarded Scriptural definition of
"Mystery" which is closer to the Revelation 17th definition of
"Mystery Babylon" which corrupted the entire world -- the original
serpentine mysteries which Barbara Marx Hubbard glorifies in her book THE
HUNGER OF EVE. Those mysteries are the original two lies of the Serpent
to Eve about those willingly in disobedience to God: (1) Thou shalt not
surely die; and (2) Thou shalt be as gods.
As for me and my house, we
will serve the Lord. I'll bet that many
more Catholic sisters than the nuns LCWR purports to represent feel that way
too! I pray they do!
