From L H.:
I just read Homeland Security and Brainwashing in
America. Words fail me.
I think of my children. They won't fit in because
they have been taught the biblical worldview from birth and have had a
traditional western civ/facts/knowledge/thinking(analysis and discernment)
Christian education and are exposed to very little media (mom picks it!). I
have been telling them a little of the transformation the country and world
is going through and how it is going from the old model of the world to the
new model -global governance (eventually), and earth based/pagan
spirituality. ( I think they need or will need to understand why it looks
and sounds so different out there in the world- different from what we
believe.)
They will need to understand who they are and
where they stand- as children, servants and followers of Christ, and not the
new world system.
That's so true! I thank God
for your discernment of today's popular deceptions and your
determination to build your children up in God's truth and ways. I'm so
glad His grace is sufficient in our weakness -- when we trust and fellow
Him!
His Life & Strength in us
From
L. H.:
My neighbor across the street is our
Neighborhood watch captain. Last summer he asked me if I wanted to host the
yearly Neighborhood night out outdoor bbq/picnic on our street, to "get the
neighbors out" together to know each other for the purposes of safety, etc.
Previously my neighbor was hosting it. A police officer always is scheduled
to come and visit our party and he wants to ask us if we have any problems
or concerns etc. It is obvious that it is a setup so the officer can come and
interview us as a group to ask if everything is ok in our neighborhood and
if there is anything we can tell them!! (about complaints or crimes). I go
along with it because I use every opportunity to build relationships for
witnessing and evangelism etc, even though I know (it is so obvious) that
this is more civilian volunteer policing/sustainable organizing stuff that
is developing as we speak. Talk about big brother and public private
partnerships (this neighborhood watch program.)
Anyway, quarterly or so we get the newsletter 'The Neighbor's Watch' from
the city about how the program is going. There is so much new restructuring/
change stuff in it. It strongly encourages everyone to be involved as a
volunteer in
community policing and openly talk about how they are
restructuring the police dept. to include civilian assistance in keeping
neighborhoods safe. (I can see where this is
going.) They are in partnership with the private organization,
Peninsula Conflict Resolution
Center, which in turn is partnered with many private and public organization
and serves public institutions such as cities, schools, etc.
Check out the lingo on this site! It has all the buzzwords used in the new
system of management that you have documented. The goal is "healthy"
neighborhoods, schools, cities. They remediate students for hate speech
in schools (retraining classes required) and mediate and facilitate
conflicts in neighborhoods using "dialog". They have an inter faith
mediation group also.
That sounds like the World
Health Organization's world wide "mental health" program as well as
Homeland Security
and Sustainable Development. But in our time of partnerships and
alliances, it makes sense. [See
The UN
Plan for Your Mental Health]
From
Dennis:
Your article entitled "Homeland Security and the
transformation of America" is excellent... As far as the definitions given
for a "terrorist" are concerned, I will likely end up in the "lone individual"
category. As events unfold, I plan on conforming to what these people want, on a
peaceful basis, until they require me to violate the truths written in God's
Word.
For example, if the government requires me to
obtain government issued identification papers and then to carry them with me
wherever I go, I will do so. If a police officer demands that I produce my
papers, I will do so, without argument or confrontation. If the government ever
says that I must take upon or into my body some mark or electronic device in
order to buy or sell, I will refuse and go underground.
If the government makes it illegal to openly
worship God and His Son, then I will attend underground worship services, which
I am certain will exist. The point is that I see no purpose in open defiance
simply for the reason of being defiant. Jesus was never defiant without a
very solid reason that was directly linked to the will and truths of the Father.
I think we must all be very careful to choose our
battle fronts as wisely as we can, i.e, harmless as doves and as wise as
serpents. I have copied as much of your web site that I can, because the day
will come when it will no longer exist.
Two reports that summarize the problem with TIPS (which
apparently has been blocked by Congress):
US planning to recruit one in 24 Americans as citizen spies:
"The Terrorism Information and Prevention System, or TIPS, means the US will have a higher percentage of citizen informants than the former East Germany through the infamous Stasi secret police. The program would use a minimum of 4 per cent of Americans to report
'suspicious activity'....
"TIPS volunteers are being recruited primarily from among those whose work provides access to homes, businesses or transport systems.... A pilot program, described on the government Web site
www.citizencorps.gov is scheduled to start next month in 10 cities, with 1 million informants....
"Present Justice Department procedures mean that informant reports will
enter databases for future reference and/or action. The information will then be broadly available within the department, related agencies and local police forces. The targeted individual will remain unaware of the existence of the report and of its contents.
"The Patriot Act already provides for a person's home to be searched without that person being informed that a search was ever performed, or of any surveillance devices that were implanted.
At state and local levels the TIPS program will be co-ordinated by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, which was given sweeping new powers, including internment, as part of
the Reagan Administration's national security initiatives."

A National Information System
The DARPA Information Awareness Office:
"The key to fighting terrorism is information. Elements of the solution include gathering a much broader array of data than we do currently, discovering information from elements of the data, creating models of hypotheses, and analyzing these models in a collaborative environment...."
The official symbol
of this new government office under the U.S. defense department was the masonic,
all-seeing eye in the pyramid. Also symbolizing the new world order,
it covers the planet with its enlightening rays.
See a portion of it at
Symbols and their meaning.
But the controversial symbol has recently been replaced by
a triangle -- apparently the top triangular section of the mystical pyramid.

From
Patricia: Thank you so much for your
your website. Particularly horrifying are the new surveillance articles
featuring the Darpa Site. the NWO full steam ahead. Thanks for
putting them up. So many professing "Christians" these days are definitely not
wanting to take their head out of the sand so to speak. It is really
something... my own mother who calls herself a Christian has recently told me
that she believes that Jesus was just "a good teacher" not the Son of God. Not
our Lord and Saviour. This was so horrifying to me to hear, and I see how
effective the change agents have been in the organized "churches".
Others have told me similar
stories, Patricia. One man came to me when I finished speaking at a conference
and told me that he had been raised by Christian parents who attended church
every Sunday. Now his mother was dying, and she had recently told him that she
wondered what kind of person she would be in "her next life.” She was
referring to reincarnation, not to the promised life believers will share with
Christ for all eternity. He wondered where she had picked up such ideas.
Many believe that only the youth are vulnerable to such deception. I thank you
for this opportunity to remind others that age is no protection against the
world's continual onslaught of New Age and neo-pagan suggestions. To
stand firm in Christ without compromise, we need to know, memorize His truth
and hold them up as a standard and filter for all other information. See
Clothed with Truth (Chapter 2 of A Wardrobe
from the King)
From C.H.:
Regarding fingerprinting and ID's, I've heard some states already require this
and it's just a matter of time before they all do.
I was at Walmart with the kids, and a nice, kind, but very!! persistent man
insisted I get my three children fingerprinted. When I kindly and politely
said no, he was even more persistent. I was waiting for him to follow me down
the isles while I shopped or afraid he'd be around a corner or jump out from
behind a huge stack of toothpaste stacked to the cieling, ready to put ink on
their hands, yikes.
He seemed to have radar eyes, I tried to get out quick and to the car with my
6 gallons of milk, but there he was, "why, why, give me a reason why not" like
a bad car salesman.
From
Bob:
The ariticle on A4 of TMH implies that all
citizen organized against criminal activity will be destructive to society.
In Durham, NC we have an organization called Partners Against Crime (PAC),
which is not to be confused with a Political Action Committee. It is organized
so that the four districts of the police department have a corresponding PAC
in its district. The four PACs are the eyes and ears for the Durham Police
Department. These PACs have been in existence now for over 12 years and are
continually improving life and society in Durham.
We are not trained to "tattle on each other". We are trained to watch for
suspicious activity and to call 911 when somethng is out of the ordinary. An
example: while sitting on our front porch one evening, I saw a man go up to
several houses and try to open the doors. I accosted the person and he
immediately left the neighborhood. When I relayed this to one of the people
whose door he tried to open, she insisted I call 911 and report on it. This I
did and it turns out he had also been seen a few blocks away entering an
unlocked house. Had I called 911 first, the B&E suspect would have been
apprehended.
Stories like this are common place in Durham. We also have a very active
listserve to broadcast information such as a suspected rapist's description.
Another good example is a scam artist, whose picture we published on the
listserve and were able to effectively put her out of business in this
district. Information is very useful, when used
correctly.
Your article implies that information will only be used to harass decent
individuals. Our experience is anything but that.
I so appreciate your insights
and clarification, Bob. I realize that America faces some serious crises
that demand responses. My main goal was to point out that -- in America as in
recent totalitarian countries -- these crises can be used to persuade people
to relinquish personal freedoms that we have treasured.
I listed the many different ways that public spying is being promoted
because I wanted to show that this new way of thinking is spreading
through many key segments of our nation. Alone, any one way could more easily
be justified.
But I can see how our message can come across as being imbalanced. Thank you
for letting me post your letter showing the other side.
Second letter from Bob:
Crossing the line does happen, and you are
right in that an unjust government will do unjust things. Thought you would

The Free Congress Commentary
"Why John Ashcroft Needs To Keep The FBI From Crossing The Line"
By John Nowacki
"Over the past year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has received a fair
amount of criticism for its handling of various issues....
"In the waning days of the Clinton Administration,
the government admitted to errors in at least 75 applications for espionage
and terrorism warrants that came before the FISA court. Material facts were
omitted, an erroneous statement from the FBI director was submitted, and
despite an ongoing investigation, the judges have received no explanation
about how these things were allowed to occur.
"This problem is hardly a surprise; the Justice Department took on a different
character under the leadership of Clinton, Janet Reno, and their appointees.
These were the people who brought us the Ruby Ridge debacle, the Richard
Jewell debacle, and the image of a gun being pointed toward Elian Gonzalez.
It's no wonder that despite clear guidelines, Reno's FBI would still manage to
foul things up.
"The New York Times recently ran a story about how the FBI in its
mid-1960s campaign against organized crime crossed the line and allowed an
innocent man to be convicted for murder because the then-director -- J. Edgar
Hoover -- wanted to use the real killer as an informant.
"One wouldn't expect today's FBI to stand on the threshold of that same line,
but the problem of balancing the need for investigative tools with civil
liberties and justice is still as important as ever....
"...the Attorney General needs to do all he can to change the culture of the
FBI from that of the Clinton years and to make certain that the people who
operate under his authority are committed to both safeguarding our country...
and respecting our liberties...."
John Nowacki is Director of Legal Policy at the
Free Congress Foundation.
Follow-up letter from
Char:
Something else too: We have this program at the Tenet
Hospital System called "Target 100."
I found out today what this is: Skinnerian Conditioning. You "jump through the hoop" and
you "get the goodies."
Employees are 'rewarded' with points they may use toward various offers the hospital
has... shopping, restaurants, travel, hotel/motel discounts etc.
The current push is courtesy, helpfulness etc. Of course then there's the "ethics"
meetings every employee must attend. Dialectic in action. Their facilitators aren't very
skilled as yet, so THEY are easily manipulated themselves. Some of these are Christians,
and when I find that out I do my best to 'educate' them. Char
Here's a cut and paste from the secure website:
Hospital Target 100
Welcome to Target 100
What began as an important service program last year is now revolutionizing our company
and defining the Tenet culture.
Target 100 seeks to achieve 100 percent satisfaction rates among our most-important
constituents - patients, employees and physicians. The program was developed by Tenet in
conjunction with Quint Studer, former CEO of Baptist Hospital of Pensacola, Fla. Studer,
a nationally recognized expert on customer satisfaction, developed a customized version
of his proven customer satisfaction program specifically for Tenet facilities.
The Target 100 program engages every one of us - from the hospital CEO to the floor
nurse to the admissions clerk - in a structured process aimed at improving service.
Each hospital designates an Initiative Champion and forms Action Teams in such key areas
as patient satisfaction, physician satisfaction, employee communications and service
recovery - all with the focused intent of seeking out and implementing significant
improvements in these areas.
Action Teams are Key to Service
Our intent is to make customer service a dominant aspect of the Tenet culture - service
to our patients, physicians, and employees. An important way we are achieving this goal
is through the Action Team structure. The five action teams are:
· Employer of Choice - the standards, employee communications and leadership teams
· Recovery & Recognition - the measurement, service recovery and reward and recognition
teams
· Inpatient satisfaction
· Outpatient satisfaction
· Physician satisfaction
Real Solutions Bringing Real Results
The Action Team cross-functional approach to identifying real solutions for real service
issues is achieving results. Target 100 is already in place at about 35 of our hospitals
and we have a dedicated training team that is helping to roll it out across the system.
Results to date have been impressive. For example, Warminster Hospital in Warminster,
Pa., one of the first Tenet hospitals to adopt a Target 100-type program, saw its
patient satisfaction scores rise from 96th in the company shortly after Tenet bought the
facility in November 1998 to 3rd overall for fiscal 2000. In the first two quarters of
Tenet's current fiscal year, admissions at the Tenet hospitals participating in the
Target 100 program grew at a significantly higher rate than the rest of our facilities.
Target 100 has also helped improve employee satisfaction at some of our facilities by
offering our hospital staff concrete ways to improve the effectiveness of their work. At
MetroWest Medical Center in Massachusetts, for example, the hospital administration
responded to an Action Team recommendation and purchased more than 100 cell phones - one
for every nurse to carry while on duty. The phones have greatly improved the nurses'
ability to communicate with doctors and patients and enhanced quality and service at the
hospital.
The Service Excellence Way
You say you want a revolution? Then get into the Target 100 practice. It's an
initiative that will ultimately be the true test of our successful achievement of making
customer service a trademark of Tenet.
From
Char:
Many companies, including the hospital where I work,
now have and may have had for a while those ominous "800" lines that you can call to
report "ethics" violations.
If you don't think people will call to report all kinds of
stuff, you're sadly mistaken. People call those lines to report the most trivial
things... people have lost their jobs over silly and stupid things.
This morning I went to bat for someone who could be in danger of losing her job.
She's in a real mess right now and doesn't need to lose her job on top of everything
else that's happening to her: her
ex-husband is stalking her (police won't help/don't care). He's stolen all her money out
of her house (twice), slashed the tires on her car, has beaten her up twice.
Before all
that started happening she had MAJOR surgery, the surgeon messed her up pretty bad and
they want to "discipline" her (which I take to mean up to and including
termination) for not reporting the time she worked by documenting on a piece of paper
(because her badge was not working properly!!!)
I told our supervisor that ANYbody
would be made crazy if that had happened to them.
He said, "Well, she should know
better."
What is happening to people?
Kindness and integrity -- in
contrast to the politically correct "understanding" enforced through consensus groups --
are fading fast. Apart from Christ, "the heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked." (Jer 17:9). Today's nice-sounding sentiments and illusions of
love do little to establish genuine compassion in a culture driven by the liberal media
and the dialectic process. See
