"The greatest threat from terrorism in the United
States comes from people who are associated with a
British Church of England-run Pentecostalist movement
inside the United States. It is this apparatus which
has structured the militias. Now, most people in the
militia movement, or associated with it, have no part
of the intentions of those who are behind it,
particularly that section in the Episcopal Church, or
Pat Robertson, who's part of this same movement, who
are barking--authentically barking--Pentecostalists,
who, with their connections with the military, deeply
embedded in the military, including the ... corps of
chaplains in the U.S. military, are largely
controlled, presently, by outright barking
Pentecostalists.... This is the ... main source of the
internal threat of the potential for terrorism, and
other kinds of treason inside the United States,
today."

--Lyndon LaRouche, "EIR Talks," July 30, 1997.

Two years after the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal building, a
stream of lies is pouring through British-run media sewers, preparing
credulous populists to view terrorism, or even civil war, as
inevitable.

The grotesque joke is on the American populists. Their paramilitary
militias, and Pentecostal sects, are creations of the very "Godless
internationalists" they believe they are resisting. The British Empire
high church apparatus seeks to reduce the American mind to that of a
clown, a hypnotized "Christian" who babbles or barks like a dog; a
"patriot" numbed by anti-government gossip and Armageddonism, so that
he sees his own nation as his enemy.

Will these Americans provide cover, and become patsies, for criminal
outrages by professional terrorists? In hopes that, instead, they will
get out of the game, and turn their righteous anger against their
manipulators, we offer this report on how the game is rigged.

This investigation began with a probe into the armed standoff between
police and "Republic of Texas" members demanding the secession of
Texas, in April 1997. This writer telephoned into the besieged
compound and interviewed Richard Otto, alias "White Eagle," who said
he was asking members of militias around the country to come to the
site, armed for a shootout.

I checked Otto's background, and then shared my findings informally
with militia members and others who might have been drawn into the
provocation. Otto, it turns out, had been trained and set into motion
by an Air Force officer who toured the world practicing New Age pagan
rituals, in consultation with senior British intelligence
drug-rock-sex gurus such as Gregory Bateson. This unappetizing
profile, subsequently spread around by wary militants themselves,
helped to discredit and defeat the provocation.

While Otto and his band surrendered on May 3, reports flooded into
this news service of continuing, outrageous provocations. Among these
was the bizarre case of an anti-government Texas demagogue with
important military connections, one Jim Ammerman, whose incitements
have been widely circulating among separatists and militia members.

A Pentecostal clergyman and retired Army colonel, Ammerman now
controls chaplains currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces around
the world, as well as within prisons, and even in the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. He claims supernatural prophetic powers, preaches
the imminent end of the world, denounces the U.S. government as
illegal, and says the President has deserved execution. During the
April siege, Ammerman "mediated" between the Texas separatists and the
FBI.

As EIR inquired further into the origins of the Ammerman operation,
and how it is protected within the U.S. military, a much broader
picture came into view. Described here are:

Colonel Ammerman's agent methods;

Britain's militia adventures among Ammerman's clients, and the
Oklahoma City bombing; +the highest-ranking U.S. general who was
captured by Pentecostal mind-benders, and who created Ammerman's
anti-government agitation bureau; how British Empire master-race
theorists concocted Pentecostalism; their colonial religious
experiments among blacks in the United States and Africa; the
America-hating, feudalist, high church aristocrats and globalists who
pushed through "charismatic renewal"; and the national security danger
from this British-owned military, paramilitary, and religious
apparatus, including such operatives as Pat Robertson.

Colonel Ammerman: treason in the Army

A videotape is circulating among the militia networks, entitled "The
Imminent Military Takeover of the United States." This is a speech by
the Rev. Jim Ammerman to the Prophecy Club of Topeka, Kansas. Ammerman
warns that the President, aided by masses of foreign troops already on
American soil, will soon put the nation under martial law--if God does
not end the world before the current President can act. Ammerman
decrees that President Bill Clinton should long ago have been
executed, for avoiding the Vietnam draft.

Ammerman, who retired in 1977 as a U.S. Army colonel and chaplain, is
described by the Prophecy Club as a former Green Beret and "CIA
official" with 26 years in the military, and top-secret security
clearance. He is the leader of some 200 chaplains now serving in the
U.S. Armed Forces under the banner of his group, the Chaplaincy of
Full Gospel Churches. His chaplains presumably speak in tongues and
perform supernatural cures, as does he. He tells his audience that his
chaplains provide him with inside information about military
activities ordered by what he claims is the illegal dictatorship of
the U.S. President.

Ammerman's frantic tapes and faxes have been pushed all over the
populist and Pentecostal milieu, and to the members of the Republic of
Texas group. Douglas Towne, manager of a ghostly Ammerman-led
intelligence group called the Mount Rushmore Foundation, told this
reporter that the Ammerman circle had extensive communications with
the chief provocateur in the siege, Richard Otto ("White Eagle").
Towne calls Otto "a real soldier ... just like Tim McVeigh [convicted
in the Oklahoma City bombing], ... who can't be shaken or broken,
confident that he has backing."

In recent weeks, Ammerman has spread the warning, or threat, that some
form of terrorist act will soon occur, giving the "illegal" U.S.
government the pretext for the imposition of martial law.

Why is our government "illegal"? Ammerman's fellow Prophecy Club
speaker, Ralph Epperson, explains that the United States was founded
by Luciferians, Illuminati communist-masons, in order to usher in
Satan's rule.

Ammerman himself is a furious Anglophile. He warns of foreign soldiers
on U.S. bases, especially Germans, whom he calls "enemy troops"; but
to him, nothing British is foreign. He reviles the U.S.A.
historically. John Kennedy's mafia background got him killed, after he
had passed the time during the Bay of Pigs crisis by womanizing;
Abraham Lincoln was a dictator, understandably murdered, he claims.
Ammerman lies that President Clinton has murdered many people to cover
his crimes. He thus creates a climate in which Clinton's murder would
be "understandable." Meanwhile, he pretends to strangers that God has
told him secrets about their personal problems, and that he has
supernatural powers to help those who will suspend their reason.

This purported Christian minister, on whose authority the Pentagon
employs a large number of its chaplains throughout the world, is no
single bad apple. As we shall see, his chaplaincy is a British
intelligence and Anglican Church project, involving a former top-level
U.S. Army general with responsibility for counterinsurgency, whose
brain was scrambled by Pentecostal operatives.

Ammerman lies, whipping up anti-government activists, maneuvering them
into terrorism or what looks suspiciously like terrorism. The British
have acted through other channels, in tandem with Ammerman,
triangulating propaganda fire against the same audience of potential
patsies.

Britain's U.S. militias and Oklahoma City

Just before the April 19, 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, Lord William
Rees-Mogg, the London Times's strategist of the Conservative
Revolution, issued a false report designed to provoke armed clashes
between "citizen militias" and the U.S. government. Rees-Mogg's report
was in the March 22, 1995 Strategic Investment newsletter, which is
published jointly by himself and James Dale Davidson, the head of the
U.S.-based National Taxpayers Union. The Rees-Mogg provocation was
very widely circulated, by fax and other means, among populists in the
U.S. Western states. It read as follows:

"The slaughter of dozens of women and children in Waco by government
stormtroopers under the command of Field Marshal Reno may pale in
comparison to what has been planned for late March [elsewhere the date
is given as March 25]: a nationwide BATF/FBI assault on private
militias as the prelude to a possible declaration of martial law
throughout the United States. All leaves have been canceled for
BATF/FBI personnel.... Government agent provocateurs are set to plant
fully automatic and heavy weapons, like rocket launchers, on the
property of militia leaders. Every militia in the country--and there
are dozens, many of which are well-armed and well-led by former or
even active duty officers--is on a state of Red Alert. Should Reno be
stupid enough to actually attack them militarily, there is going to be
a lot of blood.

"The establishment media is programmed to immediately thereafter
thunderously bellow for nationwide gun confiscation and even martial
law."

In a later interview with this reporter, Soldier of Fortune writer
James Pate claimed credit for originating the story put out by Lord
Rees-Mogg; Pate pretended it was fed to him by a source in the
Treasury Department Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF).
Colorado-based Soldier of Fortune magazine, a global recruitment
channel for mercenaries and assassins, was started up in the 1970s
with seed money from British Special Air Services operatives in
Africa.

On March 25, 1995, reacting to the Rees-Mogg provocation, about 125
hapless militia activists turned out at Cuero, Texas, to see whether
they would be arrested or slaughtered on the predicted date. At the
rally, Texas Constitutional Militia attorney Carl Haggard, touted as a
national militia spokesman in the Soldier of Fortune April issue then
on the newsstands, demanded that the militiamen drop politics, and
prepare themselves with straight military training. Haggard is a
former corporate attorney for the Anglo-Dutch multi, Shell Oil.

The same day as Lord Rees-Mogg's memo went out, March 22, 1995, a very
spooky British agent named Jon Roland faxed and e-mailed this warning
to journalists and militias: "We have ... reports of possible plans
for atrocities to be committed by agents against innocent persons and
blamed on militia activists. The atrocity targets include ... homes
and families of ... government agents, judges, and elected officials.
This would provide a pretext for labeling militiamen `terrorists.'...
Crowded public places, to be bombed and the bombings blamed on militia
leaders, with evidence to later be planted on them." Four weeks later,
168 died in the Oklahoma City blast.

Jon Roland, the bizarre "prophet" of the bombing, had earlier been
promoted in the British press as a leader of angry Americans. Ambrose
Evans-Pritchard, the London Sunday Telegraph's Washington
correspondent, from a prominent British intelligence family, had begun
his reportage on America's anti-government paramilitary groups in a
Dec. 4, 1994 article datelined Dallas.

"The Texas Constitutional Militia," or "TCM," wrote Evans-Pritchard,
"is growing at phenomenal speed.... `We have penetrated the
government's electronic intelligence system and we've turned it
against them,' says Jon Roland, a former civil rights and
environmental activist who helped set up the TCM. `There are lots of
Little Brothers watching Big Brother.'|" The quote refers to George
Orwell's novel 1984, in which the dictatorial government, "Big
Brother," creates false opposition movements secretly under its
control. Orwell's novel is modelled on British Empire practice, as in
Kenya, where the British set up ineffective opposition to colonialism
as "countergangs" to subvert true independence movements.

The private Texas Constitutional Militia was in fact started by
Roland. Militia members say that Roland showed up in south Texas in
April 1994, around the first anniversary of the Waco massacre. He
advertised for patriots to turn out to a "muster," telling those who
showed up that he would put them into business as a private militia.
He prescribed the form of organization, such as he had used to start
up militias in other states: seven-man, self-contained cells, within
county groups, to guard against treachery. And he produced a list of
contacts which would keep them in touch with authentic information
about the national scene.

The conservatives who joined were a bit puzzled when Roland identified
himself as a "secular humanist," which is anathema to Christian
conservatives--but perhaps his other credentials were in order.

In an April 27, 1995 interview with this author, Roland spoke
expansively about his background. He said that his "good buddy"
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard had put him "in touch with intelligence agents
around the world." He meets periodically with these Evans-Pritchard
intelligence community contacts, Roland said, and they give him
"inside information."

Roland said he had been sarcastic when he told the militia members he
was a secular humanist, and that he is currently a Zen Buddhist. He
explained that he has long been an activist of the "international
federalist movement"; he advocates the formation of a "true
constitutional world government." An ultra-Malthusian
environmentalist, Roland has "worked closely with the leadership of
the Friends of the Earth," as well as Greenpeace, inhabitants of
Prince Philip's stable of environmentalist groups. Roland claims that
even as few as "tens of thousands of people, using modern technology,
will eventually destroy the Earth" if they are allowed to exist
"scattered all over the landscape." Echoing Prince Philip and the
World Wildlife Fund, Roland said that "overpopulation" causes Africans
"to kill each other."

Militia founder Roland has been a computer specialist for the U.S. Air
Force, as an officer and contractor, since 1967. He says that he
received specialized training from the Army's 101st Airborne Division
at Fort Campbell, Kentucky/Tennessee, the home of the psychological
warfare unit that assaulted Panamanian leader Gen. Manuel Noriega. He
has written on "Third Wave" computer strategy themes in the Futurist,
organ of the World Future Society. He was long a member of a British
intelligence front, the L5 Society, promoting Britain's utopian
counterstrategy to the hated John Kennedy's Apollo space program.

Six days after the Oklahoma City bombing, NBC TV's "Dateline" program
featured an interview with Roland, portrayed only as an angry militia
leader and computer specialist, who warned of a civil war in America.

Speaking later to this author, Roland provided a list of his
associates in the militia movement that Roland has worked at
organizing throughout the United States. First on the Roland list was
Bradley P. Glover, a Kansas paramilitary leader.

During July 1997, Glover and six other persons were arrested on
charges of plotting to bomb U.S. military bases, beginning with Fort
Hood, Texas. The FBI said that Glover and an associate were arrested
on July 4 near Fort Hood, in possession of various weapons, and that
others in on the alleged plot were charged with possession of pipe
bombs and machine guns. The arrests allegedly resulted from Missouri
state police infiltration of paramilitary groups. Glover was featured
in the Wichita Eagle on April 30, 1995, as perhaps the pre-eminent
Kansas militia leader. He is said to lead about 1,000 armed men in the
southern half of the state. In a 1995 interview, Glover told this
reporter that he had initiated the militia movement in Kansas in
November 1994. Glover said he was a former Naval Intelligence officer,
but that any contacts that he might have with intelligence agencies at
present are "none of your business."

Glover created a movement "against the globalists." Informed by this
reporter about Jon Roland's British and World Federalist affiliation,
Glover replied that he would have to decline to state whether he
himself favored or did not favor world government.

General Haines and Operation Garden Plot

There is an ironic reality, a dangerous half-truth, in the provocative
warnings about martial law and military takeover, issued by the
British lords and their U.S. assets.

Interviewed by this reporter on May 22, 1997, Jim Ammerman stated:
"There is a network of colonels and above, throughout the military,
who would stand by the Constitution and against the President. They
know who they are, and they are in close communication with each
other. They could control the country if they need to."

The "multi-jurisdictional task force" is a repeated theme in
Ammerman's exhortations to the militias. The military is allegedly now
combined, under the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with other
departments of the Federal government and with local governments. When
the President tries to use this overreaching military against the
people, Ammerman maintains, the "good" military officers will side
with armed citizens against the President.

Curiously, Ammerman's own organization was created at the request of
an Army officer, Gen. Ralph E. Haines, Jr., who personally supervised
the military policing of the population, against which Ammerman
directs his rhetoric.

General Haines had been vice chief of staff of the U.S. Army in
1967-68, when he was in charge of counterinsurgency preparations in
the continental United States. He worked with the full resources of
the Army under him, including military intelligence capabilities, to
plan to cope with black ghetto riots and civil disturbances during the
Vietnam War. Haines moved his troops into Detroit and Washington,
D.C., as riots hit American cities before and after Martin Luther
King's assassination. General Haines went public in an April 11, 1968
press conference, describing his "Operation Garden Plot." He had
planned and directed the military arrangements for the takeover of
every single American city, and arranged the linkages between the
military and Justice Department, local police, and state governments.

The April 14, 1968 New York Times reported that Haines "said that
detailed military planning for the summer began in February. The
`garden plot' preparations were national, he said, including `every
city you can think of.' Many officers who were to be assigned to
specific cities in a military mobilization visited them in mufti
[civilian clothes] to familiarize themselves with the terrain, the
social and economic problems of potential riot areas, and the police
with whom they would work if called, the general said."

It was this General Haines who asked Ammerman to create his Full
Gospel Chaplaincy. In his book, Supernatural Events in the Life of an
Ordinary Man, Ammerman says that at first he resisted the Haines
project, but at length acceded to it.

The Defense Department received the petition for acceptance of the
Full Gospel Chaplaincy in June 1983. After 13 months of resistance by
military traditionalists, expressed by a bitter fight within the board
of chaplains, the petition was approved in July 1984. This was at the
height of the covert operations run though the military and the
National Security Council by then-Vice President George Bush and his
London allies, and such of their flunkies as Lt. Col. Oliver North
(ret.), an Episcopalian speaker-in-tongues.

Colonel Ammerman, the pretended "anti-New World Order crusader," gave
George Bush a thank-you salute. Ammerman's 1991 book, After the Storm,
about the religious conversions of U.S. soldiers during the Persian
Gulf War, opens with President George Bush's prayer proclamation as a
preface.

The Haines-Ammerman project was a component of Britain's
Pentecostalist political initiative, set in motion within the United
States following World War II. This British initiative was to leap
ahead in the United States in the 1960s. Haines would be inducted,
dazed, and mind-battered into its service in 1971, while he was
commander of the Continental U.S. Army Command. Retiring from the Army
in 1973, at age 59, Haines then embarked on a second career, in the
netherworld of political and covert operations peopled by active-duty,
retired, and reserve officers.

In 1978, Haines led a group of American Episcopalian
speakers-in-tongues, to Canterbury, England, for a global meeting of
the Anglican Church under Queen Elizabeth's Archbishop Donald Coggan.
Haines and others, colonials and Brits alike, launched a world crusade
to spread Pentecostalism under Anglican guidance.

An Episcopal colleague of Haines, Gen. Albion Knight, U.S. Army
(ret.), in a discussion with this reporter on June 5, 1997, lavishly
praised the Haines-Ammerman project. A nuclear weapons and logistics
specialist, Knight is now a Conservative Revolution leader in Howard
Phillips's Taxpayers Party. He explained the strategy put in gear at
the 1978 Canterbury meeting: Get away from stuffy high churchism. Get
with the people. This hard-charging Anglicanism is "exploding in the
Third World"; Africa is especially targetted. Intimately identified
with the British authorities and the Church of England, General Knight
manages the Church Information Center, which, he says, "feeds
information to around 125 leaders, an intelligence network in the
Anglican world."

How the general got zapped

In an interview with this reporter on July 28, 1997, General Haines
said he asked Colonel Ammerman to initiate the new chaplaincy
organization when he and Ammerman were in Europe in the late 1970s.
They had both been speaking at a Heidelberg, Germany, military unit of
the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship International--a covert,
masonic-like core organization of the British religious initiative
created in the early 1950s.

Haines described his own fall into the "spirit-filled" world. At that
time, military officers, scientists, and others leaders of America's
military-industrial complex were being hunted as prizes. He said his
wife was "baptized in the Holy Spirit" around 1967 or 1968, some three
or four years before his own induction. This gave her "something to
occupy herself with" while Haines was commander of the Army for the
Pacific region (1968-70), with responsibility for the logisitics of
the Vietnam War.

In 1970, Haines became commander of Continental Army Command,
headquartered at Fort Monroe, near Norfolk, Virginia. His wife began
working with the Pat Robertson organization as a volunteer. Through
his wife, and one of Robertson's close associates, an invitation was
issued for Haines to speak at a rally of the Full Gospel Businessmen's
Fellowship, at a Buffalo, New York hotel, on July 24, 1971.

He said he went there thinking he would give a moderate Christian
speech, such as he had given before to the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs.
He showed up July 23, the day before he was to speak, in order to
"case the joint." But they had him sit at the head table, next to
Harald Bredesen. This Bredesen is one of a small central clique of
operatives in the Pentecostal initiative, working under the
coordination of British Empire agent David J. du Plessis, whose career
will be reviewed below. Bredesen is a professional mind-bender in what
is best termed Britain's "occult bureau." He inducted Robertson into
the game around 1960; Bredesen and the Full Gospel Businessmen then
built up Robertson into a multibillion-dollar political empire.

This is how Haines depicted his capture: "The `businessmen' [in the
audience] testified; tears ran down their cheeks. I was getting very
uncomfortable. I signalled to my aide, let's get going, let's get out
of here. But Harald leaned over to me; he said, Are you charismatic? I
thought it over. I answered, I don't think so. What did charismatic
mean? I thought of George Patton.

"Harald was the speaker. I thought, when in Rome, shoot Roman candles.
People were putting up their hands [in uncontrolled fervor]. I put my
hands up a little bit--the discreet Episcopal level. People asked me,
`General, what's your problem--why only half mast?'

"After Harald gave his talk, there was renewed praising of the Lord.
My hands crept up to fully extended. I felt things happening to me. I
felt things beyond my comprehension. It was not elation. I was dazed
by it. Everyone crowded around me--they could all see something was
happening. People closed in on me--I got out--I went to my room; I
wanted to be alone. Harald came and ministered to me for a short time.

"The next day I saw that the speech I was to deliver was pabulum. What
would satisfy these people? The people were saying, `The general got
zapped last night.' So though I used the core of what I had prepared,
I now spoke differently, tailoring it to what had happened. I then
thought, I don't know what God wants of me but I'm ready to do what He
says."

What happened, when General Haines became possessed "by the Holy
Spirit" at that rally? In a recent article in Stephen Strang's
Charisma magazine, Bredesen explains "the way demons operate. Unclean
spirits come into a medium, violate her personality and speak through
her." But rest assured, what Bredesen and his sponsors are doing is
different. "The Holy Spirit doesn't want mediums, robots or zombies."
Do you want to become God's partner? Bredesen instructs you, "Don't
speak words your mind understands. As long as you do, your mind will
remain in control.

"Don't listen to yourself. Can you imagine a little child learning to
talk? Does he say, `Ma-ma-ma-ma,' and then stop with, `I can't say
that. That's not language'? No, he just hugs his daddy's neck and
prattles away." Charisma publisher Stephen Strang is a trustee of a
U.S.-based core leadership team of mind-benders, incorporated as the
Charismatic Bible Ministries, along with Ammerman, Oral Roberts, and
others in this British outreach initiative. Strang also publishes New
Man magazine, organ of the recently formed Promise Keepers cult. In a
recent issue, under the title "Worm Training," a cult guide named
Wellington Boone explains the religious problem and how this gang
solves it:

"People have not yet learned how to become broken.... We are called to
be `worms.'... A worm never protests.... Can you say, for Christ, `I
am a worm and am no man'?|... Jesus was crushed like a worm. He was
slapped. They spat in His face until it ran down His cheeks.... God
doesn't raise anything that is not dead.

"If we allow God ... to work into us the idea of `worm-training,' it
would be revolutionary. We would gain a worm's-eye view of what God
wants.... When we really meet Jesus and allow ourselves to be crushed
... the impact will rock this world."

The 'mystery' of British-Israel solved

Nowadays, 50,000 men and boys are periodically herded into a stadium
to babble incoherently, to weep and laugh hysterically for the Promise
Keepers. Or, at a specially rigged church at the Toronto, Canada
airport, troubled worshippers come from far way to be miraculously
cured; they fall into trances on the floor and bark like dogs, in
"worship." Civilized humanity is obliged to ask, how has this come
about?

The main figure in the creation of today's Pentecostalism, British
agent David J. du Plessis, insisted that this phenomenon has no
history whatsoever: It simply happened. Writing in 1956, du Plessis
claimed, "It [is] clear that it was no man-made cult of `tongues.'
Only the `power' of which Jesus spake, could have caused its
miraculous growth and establishment" up to that point, from the
beginning of the twentieth century. As the "charismatic renewal," a
new Pentecostal movement, was just then being geared up in the 1950s,
du Plessis lied that "there has never been a man or a movement than
can claim the credit for having planned or propagated this world
embracing Pentecostal Revival. It is simply the supernatural work of
the Holy Spirit ... to bring the `Full Gospel Message' to the whole
world in this generation.... This sudden move towards mass evangelism
lately ... cannot be attributed to anything else than the spontaneous
move of the Holy Spirit."

We shall give here the first serious historical account of the
"planning and propagating." We speak now of the high church
principalities and powers who have built this new Tower of Babel, who
look down with contempt upon their captive babblers, their low
churchers, the herd, the worms.

It is necessary first to bring to light a myth known as British
Israelism, which stands behind Pentecostalism. This is an evil piece
of historical race gossip, spread into American religion, into the
ranks of American populists, poisoning the minds of separatists and
Armageddon terrorists.

The British monarchy and its prime ministers and Foreign Office
fabricated British Israelism in the nineteenth century, from earlier
versions of the story. They claimed that Queen Victoria was descended
from the Biblical King David, and was thus a descendant of the Davidic
family tree that produced Jesus. They taught that the tribes of Israel
wandered into northern Europe; that by this supposed genealogy, the
British are the real Chosen People, and the British Empire is thus
God's empire.

The modern Jews, by this British account, are not the historical
Hebrews of Old Testament Israel, but rather, the British are. But,
says the British Israel myth, in a leap of logic, the Jews need to be
put into Palestine, to fulfill prophecy, get slaughtered in a war with
the Muslims, and bring about the End Times.

To provide fuel for this mythology, the royal family asked the British
Grand Lodge of Freemasonry to establish the Palestine Exploration
Fund. In the 1870s, they dispatched soldier-archeologists to the Holy
Land, to dig up supposed religious relics that might impress the cheap
fancies of the beggarly masses.

British Israelism designed its Jewish angle to be worked in many
politically useful ways, along a spectrum from Nazi anti-Semitism to
radical Zionism. The cynical character of this entire travesty may be
seen, in the way the story was changed to suit imperial politics.
During the 1870s, Germany broke from allegiance to British free trade
doctrines. The London "prophets" then reconfigured ancient history.
Suddenly, it wasn't Britain and Germany, collectively the Nordic
Aryans, who were the wandering Chosen People, but only Britain. Modern
Germans, it had been discovered, are the ancient Assyrians!

In his book Religion and the Racist Right: The Origins of the
Christian Identity Movement, author Michael Barkun presents a nagging
paradox, which he never solves. He reports that British Israelism
originates with the British military, the Anglican Church, the British
upper classes, who are fanatical loyalists to the government, the
British Empire. Yet, this mother has given birth to the Christian
Identity Movement, whose racist paranoia and paramilitary anger are
aimed against the government, the United States government. Barkun
cannot puzzle out the mystery, how the same historical movement can
both support the government, and oppose the government!

The British Empire invents Pentecostalism

According to Pentecostal lore, the movement began when a woman spoke
in tongues in the church of Charles Fox Parham in Topeka, Kansas, in
1901. Reverend Parham spread the method until it blossomed in the
famous Azusa Street, Los Angeles, revival of 1906; from there,
disciples took it around the world.

During the year preceeding the launch-time, Parham had caught fire
with British Israelism. He had been indoctrinated into the Empire's
mystery cult by emissaries of one Frank Sandford, who ran a cult
center called Shiloh, near Durham, Maine. Parham made a pilgrimage and
studied under Sandford at Shiloh, after which the two of them went on
tour through Canada.

Sandford had made the New England Toryism of his fancy Anglophile
family relations into a career, travelling back and forth to England,
working to inculcate Americans into the British Empire gospel.

In those days, British Israelism was not shy. Its literature, such as
The Anglo-American Alliance in Prophecy, or The Promise to the
Fathers, published by Our Race Publishing Co., featured the masonic
mummery of a pyramid topped by an all-seeing eyeball. The Egyptian
pyramids allegedly contained coded secrets for understanding prophecy.
The explicit message of the British Israel propaganda was, Americans
should give up their mistaken Revolution, and reunite with their
Anglo-Saxon racial brethren in the English fatherland. The movement's
masonic Anglomania was proudly displayed. Parham's biography, written
by his daughter, includes a photo of a mystery gavel, brought back
from Palestine and donated by Parham to his masonic lodge.

With British Israelism as his theory of man's cosmic destiny, Parham
began teaching Americans how to die mentally, to speak in tongues, as
a religious exercise, allegedly re-creating the descent of the Holy
Ghost upon Christ's Apostles during the Jewish feast of Pentecost. He
took this show on the road from Topeka, and in Houston, Texas, a black
preacher named William J. Seymour, the son of a slave, became part of
his audience. The catch was, that Parham, being a crazed racist, would
not permit Seymour inside the lecture hall; he had to listen at the
window, or in the hallway.

Much is made of Seymour's spreading of the technique to a mostly black
congregation on Azusa Street in Los Angeles, and of the fascination
and novelty it held for visiting religious adventurers who took
"Pentecostalism" out to the world. The movement was widely condemned
by Christians as scandalous exploitation, and its historical origins
faded into the mist. Frank Sandford spent ten years in jail for
manslaughter, after many of his cult members died. Charles Parham's
religious vocation was destroyed when he was charged with sodomizing a
young male follower in Texas; Parham went on to a new career as a
stump speaker for the Ku Klux Klan.

In 1908, British and allied American missionaries, who had observed
the success of the experiment among blacks in America, brought
Pentecostalism to South Africa. The British Empire had just then
completed its conquest of that country in the Boer War against the
Dutch-immigrant Afrikaner settlers. The great majority of the
population were black Africans, including the rebellious Zulus, whom
the British had militarily subdued in 1906. The new British masters
shaped a uniquely brutal system of racial separation and slave labor,
called apartheid.

The cultists and hypnotists went to work on the Zulus of South Africa.
At the new Apostolic Faith Mission church, Zulu worshippers, in
trances, would fall into heaps, clustered around the altar. British
Empire South African strategist Cecil Rhodes congratulated the
Pentecostal mind-benders for pacifying the natives as no military
could have done.

Americans had better reflect deeply about what the British have done
to Africa. For it was precisely the British Empire's apparatus for
colonial conquest in Africa, which fashioned irrational Pentecostalism
as one among the weapons used against America's "uppity" spirit of
Reason and Progress.

Du Plessis comes to America

We shall now review the career of South African David du Plessis
(1905-87), the 1930s head of the imperial cult-master Apostolic Faith
Mission denomination, who came to America and supervised the creation
of Pentecostalism, and who managed the body-snatchers working on Gen.
Ralph Haines.

With his British passport clearing him to reside as an alien in the
United States, British subject David du Plessis came north in the late
1940s. By the early 1950s, du Plessis was a consultant to the
International Missionary Council, a group formed by the British
authorities who had spun off from it the World Council of Churches. Du
Plessis strategized on the British rule in Tanganyika, Nyasaland, and
Rhodesia with the Missionary Council's chairman, Briton John A.
Mackay, who had earlier moved to America to head the Princeton
Theological Seminary. Mackay, du Plessis's prime public sponsor, had
been for many years a close collaborator of the Anglophile
political-religious strategist John Foster Dulles, in Britain and at
Princeton.

Simultaneously, du Plessis was employed on two other 1950s projects,
in the world of covert intelligence:

+Du Plessis was a paid agent of the Far East Broadcasting Company, a
religious cover for the official intelligence agencies operating in
Asia (based in the Philippines) and Europe (based in Greece). This
arrangement was especially cozy beginning in 1953, when John Foster
Dulles became Secretary of State and his brother Allen became Director
of Central Intelligence.

+Du Plessis was the master chef cooking up the Full Gospel
Businessmen's Fellowship International, with Oral Roberts, Gordon
Lindsay, front man Demos Shakarian, and later, Harald Bredesen. The
FGBFI has penetrated Central and South America, Asia, and the Middle
East as an occult intelligence agency, working in aggressive
insurrectionary politics since its 1952-54 founding.

During the 1950s, du Plessis was adopted by the executive apparatus of
the World Council of Churches, to ram Pentecostalism down the throats
of Christians in America, and to "charismatize" the Catholic Church
through agents at the Vatican. This was accomplished through the
instrumentality of the Church of England.

The 'high church' gathers its forces

The British spread religious irrationalism to subdue and destroy that
dangerous, typically American concept that man is created in God's
image, dignified and self-governing. We will see this strategy,
unadorned, by briefly inspecting the actions and words of du Plessis's
employers.

The World Council of Churches was founded in England in 1937, under
the direction of Anglican Church missionary leader J.H. Oldham, based
on a plan developed by Lord Lothian and other members of the Round
Table group.

World Council co-founder John Mackay (later du Plessis's sponsor)
published a book, The Universal Church and the World of Nations,
expressing the new World Council's desire for the reordering of global
political affairs under a world government. The lead article was
written by Lord Lothian, entitled "The Demonic Influence of National
Sovereignty"; another article was written by Mackay's crony John
Foster Dulles, who represented the Presbyterian Church at the World
Council founding. Lothian and Dulles argued that national sovereignty,
such as the political and juridical independence of the United States,
causes wars.

The Round Table group had been organized by South Africa's British
governor, Lord Alfred Milner, to fulfill the strategy of British South
Africa leader Cecil Rhodes for a new-style white racialist world
empire, in which the annoying independence of the republican United
States, in particular, was to be extinguished. The core of the Round
Table group was assembled from among the aides to Lord Milner in South
Africa. Lord Lothian was the first editor of the Round Table
quarterly, and was the chief executive of the Rhodes Trust,
administering the Rhodes Scholarships to bring Americans and other
"colonial" students to Oxford University.

John Foster Dulles and his brother Allen met the principal Round Table
members after World War|I, and were informally inducted. In a letter
to Round Table founder Lionel Curtis, Lord Lothian expressed the
racial views which the British Round Table shared with the Dulles
brothers, in opposition to the viewpoint of American nationalists:

"The real problem is going to arise from the treatment which must be
accorded to politically backward peoples.... There is a fundamentally
different concept ... between Great Britain and South Africa on the
one side and the United States ... on the other.... The inhabitants of
Africa and parts of Asia have proved unable to govern themselves ...
because they were quite unable to withstand the demoralizing
influences [i.e., the desire for modernization] to which they were
subjected in some civilised countries, so that the intervention of a
European power is necessary in order to protect them from those
influences.... The American view ... is quite different."

How they got away with 'charismatic renewal'

In May 1960, an English-born Episcopal priest, Dennis Bennett, told
his Van Nuys, California parishioners that he had begun speaking in
tongues after baptism in the Holy Spirit. This was the beginning of
present-day Pentecostalism. The controversy over Bennett's
announcement spread quickly, with coverage in Time and Newsweek
magazines. The publicity, interpretation, and proselytizing for the
new movement within the American church community and worldwide, was
handled personally by David du Plessis.

Both Protestants and Catholics, who had earlier looked upon
Pentecostalism as a freak show, or a Satanic influence, placidly
accepted what was termed "charismatic renewal," as a respectable,
non-threatening addition to Christendom. This succeeded because the
British authorities and the World Council of Churches put their stamp
of approval on David du Plessis, as the designated--by them--world
representative of the new, "improved" Pentecostalism.

Between 1952 and 1954, John Mackay and World Council of Churches
General Secretary Willem Adolf Visser 't|Hooft introduced du Plessis
to scores of the highest level Protestant and Eastern Orthodox church
officials. The World Council executive shopped du Plessis around to
the Ivy League U.S. colleges and seminaries, to speak of the religion
of the future. Through Cardinal Augustin Bea and Cardinal Jan
Willebrands, the World Council got du Plessis invited to the Vatican
II council, and set up an official, global, "Catholic-Pentecostal
Dialogue," which consisted of du Plessis talking to Vatican officials.
Vatican officials did so despite the fact that when the World Council
of Churches invited du Plessis to take part in its 1954 global
meeting, he represented no Pentecostal religious body whatsoever; he
was merely a British political agent. (The previously established
Pentecostal churches were hostile toward the World Council and the
Catholics.)

In England, Anglican Churchmen Michael Harper and other partners of du
Plessis cemented the ties of Catholics around the world to the new
movement.

Following Bennett's Episcopal Church outbreak of 1960, du Plessis,
aided by Bennett, published Trinity newsletter. This was circulated in
the United States and England as the spur for the new charismatic
movement. Trinity was edited by Jean Stone, a wealthy American
Anglican loyalist who mediated between du Plessis and the high-society
bankrollers of the Episcopal Church. The organization publishing
Trinity was chaired by Harald Bredesen, by then a well-established
British intelligence operative.

Du Plessis instructed clergymen and parishioners who were pulled into
the babble-boom, to follow the Bennett example, and "stay in your
church, do not form a new church denomination." Many charismatics
followed the advice of du Plessis, who was publicized as "Mr.
Pentecostalism"; so, the regular church denominations were decimated
by those who stayed, as well as those who left their fold for wilder,
newer sects.

General Haines, who had been "zapped" in 1971, resigned from active
duty on Jan. 31, 1973. Two weeks later, Haines, du Plessis, and
Bennett were the star speakers at the Dallas founding meeting of the
Episcopal Charismatic Fellowship. By that time, Episcopals were the
driving force for the spread of Pentecostalism. According to Haines,
20% of Episcopalians were then already speaking in tongues.

Haines says that when he led the American delegation to the 1978
Canterbury Cathedral meeting, launching the Anglicans' worldwide drive
for charismatic renewal, he was struck by the spectacle of dancing
around the altar led by the representative (white) South African
Anglican bishop.

Haines went on to commission Ammerman's Full Gospel Chaplaincy, on
whose board Haines sits today, and whose serving chaplains Haines
addresses. Public statements promoting armed conflict between citizens
and the government, Haines leaves to Colonel Ammerman to make.

The security problem, defined

The danger involved in this British initiative is not a matter of
wrong or heretical religious beliefs. At issue is the buildup of a
hostile, irrational, foreign-directed network within our military and
civilian political life.

The political intelligence group known as the Mount Rushmore
Foundation, mentioned above, illustrates the problem. Ammerman is the
political adviser and "chaplain" to the group. Manager Douglas Towne
says the foundation "studies the Patriot movement," and "participates
in it." Towne's longtime political partner, Rushmore Foundation board
member Gen. Benton Partin, U.S. Air Force (ret.), is an expert in
high-explosive devices, including nuclear weapons. Partin has received
extensive news media coverage for his critical analysis of the
Oklahoma City bombing; he has made an apparently reasonable case, that
it would have been technically impossible for Timothy McVeigh to have
done it acting alone.

Less well known is General Partin's sponsorship of an ongoing,
catastrophic shooting war in Africa, which lends a more sinister
character to his hatred of the United States government. Partin is a
founder and board member of the Front Line Fellowship, a group of
commando-missionaries taking active part in the war against Sudan and
other African states viewed as enemies of the British Crown. The
Fellowship members are former "scouts" of the South African Army.
Partin describes his partner, Fellowship leader Peter Hammond, as a
"former South African army and government officer."

That General Partin's "Christian" organization is at heart merely the
British military irregulars, who are generally incinerating Africa to
recolonize it, may be judged from the Fellowship's book, Faith Under
Fire in Sudan. Chapter Three is a celebration of Charles "Chinese"
Gordon, who led British regulars in a war in China against the
uprising of a British-organized pseudo-Protestant cult. After 20
million Chinese died in this game, Gordon was sent to try to subdue
Sudan as Britain's governor, but he died, defeated at the hands of
Sudanese nationalist forces. Chinese Gordon was not a drunken
homosexual pederast, Partin's group says, but Britain's Christian
model for us to follow into war.

The British have never forgiven Sudan, or the United States, for the
American Revolution. To the Ammerman circle, the U.S. government is
"communist." General Partin says that even Abraham Lincoln was put
into the Presidency by the creators of international communism. Partin
has received from London, since the 1940s, the intelligence reports
published by Kenneth Hugh de Courcy, geopolitician of the British
Israel movement.

Observe the Pat Robertson empire. Robertson writes that his family's
aristocratic lineage, linking it to the British Churchill family, gave
his mother, Gladys Churchill Robertson, confidence that Pat would
succeed. His father, Sen. A. Willis Robertson, was London's and Wall
Street's chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

Originally a playboy, Pat began speaking in tongues, and exchanging
prophecies in a circle like ouijah board players, under the guidance
of master spook Harald Bredesen. The ghost-written Bredesen
autobiography, Yes, Lord, explains that Robertson's mentor was himself
trained by the International Christian Leadership group. Bredesen
proved himself to the group by speaking in tongues, in ancient Arabic,
to an Egyptian heiress. This feat by their trainee was observed and
attested to by the president of the Leadership group's British branch,
Ernest Williams, who was simultaneously "a member of the directing
staff of the British Admiralty," and "a member of the Archbishop of
Canterbury's Commission on Evangelism."

International Christian Leadership was designed specifically to
capture wealthy or influential leaders of society, into a network
controlled by the group's patrons. It was initiated during World War
II by Col. Sir Vivian Gabriel, a British Air Commission attache in
Washington, and leaders of the Episcopal Church. The Netherlands royal
family became the group's prime sponsor and center of world operations
in the 1950s. Bredesen wrote that his personal trainer, Abraham
Vereide, claimed to have "won [Netherlands] Prince Bernhard for
Christ." A strange Christ it must have been, because the former Nazi
SS officer Bernhard was just then busy launching the globalist
Bilderberg Group's conferences and creating the World Wildlife Fund,
with Britain's Prince Philip.

Pat Robertson started off as assistant pastor to Bredesen, the
operative of the Anglo-Dutch monarchies' Leadership group. Then, David
du Plessis's Full Gospel Businessmen raised the money to expand
Robertson's and Bredesen's Virginia-based Christian Broadcasting
Network (CBN) toward global power status.

In a Feb. 1, 1997 column in Virginia's Richmond Times-Dispatch,
Robertson told critics why he had used "Operation Blessing" aircraft
to transport supplies for his own personal diamond-mining venture in
Zaire, rather than for Christian charity, as expected by CBN
viewer-contributors. Robertson claimed that he really went into Zaire
at President George Bush's request, to pressure the government to give
up all Zaire's mines to foreign owners. Later, when British mining
companies paid for the invasion that killed hundreds of thousands of
people, Robertson invited the bloody Laurent Kabila to be his guest in
America; and, he put Britain's Africa slaughter-coordinator, Baroness
Caroline Cox, on his television network.

In this regard, consider U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.), a member of the
international board of referents of Baroness Cox's blood-smeared
British intelligence front, Christian Solidarity International (CSI).
Wolf has made the Toronto Airport church his own spiritual stopping
point, where the participants fall in heaps, jerk about on the floor,
and bark.

Lady Cox is the Anglican high priestess of the Pentecostals. An August
1997 Charisma magazine story, headlined "Just Call Her Saint
Caroline," explains, "Baroness Caroline Cox--a member of London's
House of Lords--is spending lots of her time in war zones these days.
She's dodging bullets to help the world's persecuted Christians....
She attends mainline Anglican churches but says she also enjoys `the
sort of robust and very expressive forms of worship' found in
charismatic fellowships.... Many CSI board members and supporters are
from the more evangelical and charismatic end of the church spectrum,
she notes."

Finally, consider the Promise Keepers, who train their men to be
worms, to be broken, to die mentally. Promise Keepers national
spokesman Mark DeMoss is a professional at preparing fanatics for
Armageddon warfare. As chief of staff to Jerry Falwell, DeMoss was the
administrator of the self-proclaimed "Christian Embassy" in Jerusalem.
The embassy serves as a bridge between End Times Christians, lunatic
freemasons, and right-wing Israeli Zionists. This is a pivotal
component of the Temple Mount initiative to foment a religious war
over the holy sites in Jerusalem, to "fulfill Scripture." This covert
network is engaged in the most dangerous terrorist provocation, which
may yet bring on End Times unless it is handcuffed.

At Fort Bliss, Texas, DeMoss's Promise Keepers were engaged to train
the nation's highest-ranking non-commissioned officers. Earlier this
year, the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy advertised
"training with `Promise Keepers'" as a "spiritual fitness program," on
the Army unit's official Internet web site.

It is time for Christians and patriots to clean their house, before
Her Majesty's legions blow it up.
