Out of the Ashes: Clash of Civilizations Could Summon New World Religion
Daniel Taylor Old Thinker News
Rockefeller-backed Federal Council of Churches pushed “World government”, “Universal system of money” and “Worldwide freedom of immigration” in 1942. The council was told by Dr. William Paton, co-secretary of the World Council of Churches, that “Collectivism is coming, whether we like it or not".
For those paying attention, there is a discernible pattern of social engineering that is directed at the major world religions, particularly Christianity.
This is undoubtedly a very complex issue, as there are numerous belief systems and nuanced views of millions of people. What we know is that globalist financed wars and revolutions have fueled illegal immigration and stoked flames of conflict all over the world.
It can be reasonably demonstrated that key globalist organizations are following a program for re-shaping the world’s religions utilizing a tried and true technique. It is a process called the Hegelian dialectic.
Here is a simplified outline of the dialectic as applied by globalist forces:
- Thesis (problem): Religions are bigoted, feed intolerance and fuel violence. “Extreme” examples from each group are held up for the world to see.
- Antithesis (reaction): “I don’t want to be politically incorrect”. Disassociation with demonized groups ensues.
- Synthesis (solution): A “middle ground” is found and a politically correct faith is formed under the banner of global government.
A little bit of history
Before we go further, it is important to point out that the establishment has a vested interest in shaping religion. This has been true for ages. Noted historian Alexis de Tocqueville warned us in 1835 when he wrote Democracy in America that the churches were already being usurped by power elites for their own agenda. He wrote,
“…sovereigns… are using the priests influence and turning it to their own exclusive profit. They are turning clergymen into functionaries and, often, servants, and they are using the clergy to reach the deepest recesses of the individual soul.”This influence has continued to our modern times, but with what is perhaps a more sophisticated flair. The Rockefeller family, with their vast fortune garnered from the oil baron John D. Rockefeller Sr., played a major role in re-shaping the churches in modern America.
It comes as little surprise, given their long term goal of world government, that the Rockefeller family would approve of and support a societal outlook favorable to globalism. The use of religion is one method that, in Rockefeller’s eyes, looked to be a promising means of accomplishing this goal. Early programs such as the Interchurch World Movement focused on the maintenance of harmonious relations between people in America’s growing industrial society.
Later endeavors such as the World Council of Churches would trend towards being global in nature with goals moving beyond that of simply maintaining class stability in America to elimination of national sovereignty and world governance.
As documents show, multiple attempts have been made to urge the Christian churches to get behind programs for world governance. If the attempts were not initiated by the Rockefellers, significant financial support was provided to organizations sharing their vision for the world.

Major Rise in Attacks on French Churches Ignored by Media
Comment: How convenient for Macron that such a major disaster comes on the eve of his address to the nation regarding the Yellow Vests protests....Perception change: what protests?

Sometimes it's a cross of human excrement smeared on a church wall, with stolen Communion hosts stuck at the four corners. Other times, a statue of the Virgin Mary lies shattered on the floor.
Now and then, a fire breaks out in a house of prayer.
Roman Catholic churches have increasingly come under attack in France, a country so long identified with Christianity that it used to be called "the eldest daughter of the church."
A recent fire at St. Sulpice, the second-largest church in Paris, has shed light on a trend that has become commonplace in many smaller towns.
"Who has heard of the sacking of the monastery of Saint Jean des Balmes in Aveyron? Of those teenagers who urinated into the holy water font of the church at Villeneuve de Berg in Ardèche?" the Paris daily Le Figaro asked last week in an article highlighting some of the lesser-known profanations around the country this month.
Incidents such as these get a brief mention in the press, complete with quotes from Catholics shocked at the sight of scattered hosts or beheaded statues, and sometimes a short video clip on national television.
But apart from official denunciations of individual attacks, Catholic leaders in France have refrained from dramatizing what they say is a worrying trend.
The sharpest reactions have come from conservative politicians, including two National Assembly members who have called for a parliamentary inquiry into "the multiplication of anti-Christian acts."
"The images of flames in Saint Sulpice church this weekend are one more example of the violence committed against Catholics," Philippe Gosselin and Annie Genevard said, referring to the blaze in an edifice known to moviegoers around the world as the church in the film version of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. Among attacks on churches in February, a cross of human excrement was found in the southern city of Nimes, a statue of Mary was smashed in a Paris suburb and a statue of Jesus decapitated in an Atlantic seaside resort with the very Christian name of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie (St. Giles, Cross of Life).

Ridiculous! YouTube censors Christian videos because content describes and supports values of Russian Faith
David Curry
Russia Insider
Russia Insider
wo weeks ago, I was summarily informed in a brief email from YouTube that our Russian Faith channel-on which we had spent hundreds of hours of hard work and which complements the Russian Faith website, which I own, had been 'terminated.' No reason was given other than a very general one which could mean anything. Russian Faith is a new media project I started in September: a website, YouTube channel (now banned), Facebook, and Twitter - to cover Christian issues in general, and the huge story of the renaissance of Christianity in Russia.
This dramatic turn by both government and society in Russia is very important not just for Christians, but for the whole world, regardless of their religious views, because it has so many ramifications important to us Americans.
It should affect our foreign policy, and it contrasts with the hostility to Christian values in our own Western societies. It is a fact that Russia has emerged as the leading defender of world Christianity, and it is a disgrace that liberal forces in the US elites and the government are among Christianity's most hostile foes - both at home and abroad.

Wiping Out the Christians of Syria and Iraq to Remap the Mid-East: Prerequisite to a Clash of Civilizations? (I)
Mahdi Darius NAZEMROAYA
Historically, the Levant is the birthplace of Christianity and the
oldest Christian communities have lived in it and the entire Fertile
Crescent since the start of Christian history. Early Christian called
themselves followers or people of «the Way» before they adopted the term
Christian; in Arabic their antiquated name would be «Ahl Al-Deen». [1]
Traces of this original name are also available in the New Testament of
the Bible and can be read in John 14:5-7, Acts 9:1-2, Acts 24:4 and 14.
From the Fertile Crescent these Christian communities spread across
Africa, Asia, and Europe. Since that time the ancient communities of
Christians, many of which still use the Syriac dialects of Aramaic in
their churches, have been an integral and important part of the social
fabrics of the pluralistic societies of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq,
Turkey, and Iran. Nevertheless, the Christians of the Levant and Iraq
are now in the cross-hairs.
Deceit and mischief has been at play. It is no coincidence that
Egyptian Christians were attacked at the same time as the South Sudan
Referendum, which was supposed to signal a split between the Muslims in
Khartoum and the Christians and animists in Juba. Nor is it an accident
that Iraq’s Christian, one of the oldest Christian communities in the
world, began to face a modern exodus, leaving their homes and ancestral
homeland in Iraq in 2003. Mysterious groups targeted both them and
Palestinian refugees… Coinciding with the exodus of Iraqi Christians,
which occurred under the watchful eyes of US and British military
forces, the neighborhoods in Baghdad became sectarian as Shiite Muslims
and Sunni Muslims were forced by violence and death squads to form
sectarian enclaves. This is all tied to US and Israeli project of
redrawing the map.
The Christian communities of the Levant and Iraq have long distrusted
the US government for its support of Israel, the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia, and fanatical militants with anti-Christian leanings. Lebanon’s
Christians have also been weary of US support for Israeli expansion and
ideas about resettling Palestinians into Lebanon. There is also a widely
held belief that the US and Israel have been involved in a policy to
remove or «purge» the Christians from Iraq and the Levant in some type
of Zionist-linked resettlement plan. Since the US-supported
anti-government fighters started targeting Christian Syrians, there has
been renewed talk about a Christian exodus in the Middle East centering
on Washington’s war on Syria.

A Different Look at Jesus
21st Century Wire
Where there is a Jesus debate, controversy is never far behind. One reason for this is the seemingly endless filmed versions and revisions about the story of Jesus.
The films are always big news. Whether it’s Jesus of Nazareth (1977), or The Last Temptation of Christs (1988), or The Passion of the Christ (2004), the debate is normally split between two aspects of presentation – Jesus Christ as the son of god – an eternal being, and Jesus the living, breathing, walking and talking historical figure. Interpretations between sects of Christianity can be markedly different, especially when addressing Jesus the man.
In 2014, we saw the release of the Hollywood production entitled, Son of God, as the latest film depicting the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth. Not groundbreaking in itself, what the film did reinvigorate was the debate about how, and why, Jesus is being depicted in certain ways by a legacy of writers, historians and media producers.
Suprisingly and rather unexpectedly, from the media angle of things, by far the most interesting take on this film came via Christianity Today. It’s not the insight anyone was expecting, by very sharp and to the point:
“Watching Son of God is a bit like listening to a pretty good tribute band doing a set list of Top 40 hits you have heard most of your life. The delivery is not bad, and the individual songs carry enough significance for you (both emotional and biographical) that the performance really only needs to remind you of what you already love.
If that comparison feels glib, then watching Son of God could be compared to watching someone else’s professionally filmed wedding video. You understand why it is so precious to the person sharing it with you. But it is a summary of what happened, not a re-creation of the event. Plus you risk offending your hosts if you mention that one of the bridesmaids is wearing slightly different-colored shoes, or that the organist is playing a different song than what was listed in the program they showed you.”
Clearly, Jesus as the Christ represents somewhat different things to different people who consider themselves Christians. The same could be said for different Muslims sects, each of whom may interpret their revered Prophet Jesus differently. For Jews, it’s even more radically different, as they do not recognise Jesus as much more than ‘a son of a carpenter’.
There are plenty of academic and authors on the case as well. Reza Aslan is an Iranian-American writer and scholar and author of the recent book, Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, and his take on Jesus is based primarily on Jesus as a man and historical figure based in a specific time and place – Roman Occupied Palestine.
If you consider the parallels in that story and events of today, then even a different story of the present begins to emerge…
Brasscheck TV
How much do we really know about the historical figure Jesus of Nazareth?
A lot more than you think, but because of “Religion Inc.” it’s hard to see the forest for the trees.
Reza Aslan is a historian and professor of religion. Fox News has a lot of trouble grasping this. They and others also have a lot of trouble understanding Jesus the historical figure.
The Council of Nicea which set the course of Christianity was held after the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as the Imperial Religion. After the Council anyone who didn’t agree with the strict party line was either burned at the stake and fled for the hills. Watch…
