Conspiracy: A Biblical View, by Gary North - EntreWave

THE PEOPLE'S WILLdifference between right and wrong acts. Until they are willing tochoose right rather than wrong, all the facts in the world will not helpthem; the wide availability of facts will simply condemn them. Fromthose to whom much is given, much is expected (Luke 12:48)."Who shot President Kennedy?" is not the main issue. What isrelevant is this question: What kind of society were PresidentKennedy and his advisors, his successor Lyndon Johnson and hisadvisors, and their rivals the Communists really trying to build? Theanswer is clear: societies that either ignore God or reject God. Theywere generally successful in their efforts. Worry therefore about God'sresponse to national indifference; don't worry too much aboutassassins.Salvation by Education?Question: If a group (or allied groups) of ideologically linked,educationally linked, financially linked, and even maritally linkedrulers do, in fact, control the basic policy-making of the U.S.government, along with big banking, big labor, big business, and bigeverything else, do they do so in defiance of what most Americanswould want them to do, if they knew who was controllingdecision-making and how they were doing it? If they really doexercise such power, then they are clearly unelected rulers. IfAmerican voters had the opportunity to vote for them and theirpolicies, would the voters elect them? Or would the voters throw themout?If you answer, "Most Americans would throw out the conspirators, ifthey only knew about them," you are saying that you would throwthem out because you know about them, and you think otherAmericans would agree with you.I'm not so sure that they would. I think the whole "Gang of 2300"(Council on Foreign Relations) should be tossed out into the cold,cruel world of economic competition. If I were President of the UnitedStates, no C.F.R. member or Trilateral Commission member couldserve in any position subject to my appointment. But that isn't thepoint. I am not sure that the "average" American voter cares one wayor the other. I doubt that I could gain many votes for President interms of such a campaign promise, other than from those who havehttp://freebooks.commentary.net/freebooks/docs/html/gnco/html/2.htm (5 of 10) [5/26/2000 1:48:04 PM]
