I am trying to understand what it all means - where it all comes from; where we are going! Now that I am taking the vilification, I might as well get down to the gist!
I have finally gotten around to reading a little pocket edition of "Mein Kampf" - a few pages at a time, because believe you me, it isn't easy reading! I am on page 477 - and still have some 300 pages to go.
What struck me most about that book is the matter of systematic mind manipulation by our enemies - how deep, and how old it all is, and how much of it is rooted in Christianity - not as it should have been and possibly once was, but as it has been fed to us.
I believe that much of Christianity has turned into a potent political tool, and we are going to see more of it as time rolls on and as the struggle between the Nationalist movement and Zionist movement hardens.
Here is one nifty little example of what I mean, straight out of Beirut, Lebanon, dated September 11, 1998. A ZGram reader sent it to me:
A boy who was given extra-curricula books to read by his jewish teacher now wants to apologize for the destruction and plunder wrought by Christian Crusaders 900 years ago.
Benjamin Gibson, a 12-year old from Mansfield, Texas, hopes the 'reconciliation walk' he is on will foster better understanding between Christians & Muslims.
"The conflict of East and West, Christians & Muslims, the roots are in the Crusade. I told my mom I want to apologize for this," Benjamin told The Associated Press.
Benjamin Gibson is a boy on a mission. He arrived in Lebanon last week and has been walking the streets apologizing to people he meets.
He wears a T-shirt and baseball hat emblazened with "We apologize" and reads out loud and hands out a letter: "We deeply regret the atrocities committed in the name of Christ".
He took time off from school and persuaded his mother to join him.
"He was fascinated by the stories, " said his mother, Nancy Gibson. "He was really moved, struck by the horror and how Christ was misused to slaughter people."
Now aren't you glad you have ZGrams to inform you of developments like that? This isn't as quaint as it seems. It means that the theme of "atonement" is useful - and will be milked in the future for all it is worth.

Thought for the Day:
"Nuts to this new Christianity which fawns at the feet of these hate-filled Zionists."
