Statist Philosophy the Scourge of Christianity
The normal condition of man ruling over men resorts to the practice of coercive force. Statism so aptly reflects this system of compliance. When you strip away all the rhetoric and institutional validation, what is left is a doctrine of kingship. Governments are fashioned to exert control over people. Contemplate the intrinsic contradiction of this structure of dominance with the message of the Golden Rule.
“The Golden Rule is based on the principle Jesus Christ taught in Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
The significance of Jesus Christ’s statement here is huge. What we call the Golden Rule is the summation of God’s entire way of life.”
Christianity professes that Jesus is divine. Earthly governments strive to minimize God’s authority and substitute temporal supremacy. “Fundamentally, the idea of Jesus being King of kings and Lord of lords means that there is no higher authority. His reign over all things is absolute and inviolable.” This refusal to submit and humble oneself to our supreme creator is the essence of the worldly nightmare.
The lessons from history are mostly ignored in the frantic diversions of modern life. Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD makes a perceptive observation in The Philosophical Basis of the Conflict Between Liberty and Statism.
“Plato was the first statist. He offers his vision of the ideal state in the Republic. An elite group of philosopher-rulers run it. They are wise and all knowing. The rulers are not accountable to the public, and they require absolute individual devotion and submission to the good of the state. In Plato’s republic only philosophers can have access to objective knowledge, philosophers being, as he puts it, people “who are capable of apprehending what is eternal and unchanging” — those few individuals who can sit down in a quiet place and think clearly. Everyone else, the rest of us, he describes as “those who are incapable of this [and] lose themselves and wander amid the multiplicities of multifarious things.”
Note that the gods of the Greeks did not teach the purity of the Christian faith as revealed in the Sermon on the Mount. Natural law is predicated upon celestial creation and inspired purpose, designed to include every soul. When temporal powers impose arbitrary submission, their righteous claim on authenticity must be questioned and frequently resisted.
Philosophical Statism and the Illusion of Citizenship by Frank van Dun expresses a basic departure from the academic tranquil Platonic vision of the Philosopher King.
“Liberals all too easily acquiesced in the state’s claim to represent or embody the law, in its usurpation and monopolisation of legislative, judicial and executive powers. In the end, few people were able to understand that law should be seen as the restraining condition of legislation rather than as its product. The state, the institutionalised form of (preparedness for) lawless war, came to be regarded as a necessary institution of lawful peace.
To the extent that liberals subscribed to this view—and they did so en masse—they conceded the main point of political ontology to the apologists of statism: that war, not peace, is the normal or natural condition of human life. This is perhaps the most basic axiom of statism. It implies that there can be peace only inside an organisation designed to fight and win wars. It implies that there is no natural society, no “spontaneous order” (as Hayek would say). Man plus man equals war. The whole of the statist philosophy is contained in that simple statement.”
Statists have substituted the political order for divine worship. Christians accept the “Prince of Peace” as the alternative to perpetual warfare. While faith in His teachings is routinely ignored, the continuous wickedness that engulfs the planet expands as a prelude to the final conflagration.
In the account “Javert’s Religion of Statism” a secular viewpoint of what has become the Statist creed, is acknowledged. Since the Illuminati Victor Hugo, was a Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, his sentiments needs reassessment within the larger context of the broader, Inspector Javert Society.
“In 19th century France, and in 18th century America, the belief that there was a line that the government must never cross gave rise to what was known as the liberal movement of which both Victor Hugo and Frederic Bastiat were members. Hugo had the poetry and the drama. But it was Bastiat who saw the answers in the form of economic freedom.
Sixteen years after Hugo wrote Les Misérables, Bastiat wrote “The Law”- a brilliant tract that explained that the answer to social and economic problems was not a different form of government- republican legislatures, democratic mobs, or autocratic monarchs can all be oppressive- but to devolve all power away from government to people in their capacity as owners and self-managers.”
The Enlightenment thinkers hardly differed from Protagoras in their acceptance that “Man is the measure of all things“. Where is that elusive human progress that is incessantly preached by countless regimes of political governance? The horrors of the last two centuries have been a continuous reign of terror.
The philosophical basis for removing God from civic conscientiousness and the public square is fundamental to the “Sanctification of the State”. Salvation and redemption is outside the abilities of governmental administrators. The Grand Inquisitor Planet of Fydor Dostoevsky presents the consequences, “The rejection of God, as a condition to serve man, is the work of the devil.” For those who scorn the notion of daemon metaphysics, the herculean task of explaining away the savagery of government destruction and pillage becomes essential.
The proponents of Statism have a long line of tyrants to model upon their oppressive aspirations. The practice of entrenched totalitarianism has a long record in both the old and new worlds. The difference between Christian communalism and secular communism is frequently blurred, when liberation theology supplants the fundamental message of the gospels.
America has lost its way as identified in the article, German Statist Philosophy, the legacy of Frederick Jackson Turner.
“Since the materialistic conception of history is the foundation stone of the socialist movement and was invented by Karl Marx there is no doubt that Turner had produced an American historical account fitting into the socialist principle. Leftist books are replete with accounts of Turner’s major theme that the frontier is gone and opportunities for personal advancement have dried up. This theme fits into the socialist premise that the only way out now is a controlled collectivist society.”
When the sins of the Catholic Papacy or the heresies of Protestant Dispensationalists spurn the evangelistic teachings of Jesus, ruthless despots of Statism seize the opportunity to expand and consolidate their pernicious rule over humanity.
The failings of institutional religion to actively oppose the collectivization of society under the auspices of spurious state legitimacy, is a betrayal of cardinal Christian doctrine. While resistance to tyranny is indispensable, having the courage to express your belief openly in a Statist authoritarian system, often takes virtuous faith and trust in God.
Redemption of the individual is a gift from God and no government or temporal power can extinguish the light of HOPE. Politics is interminable, while salvation is eternal.
Nicholas Marville writes in The scourge of Christianity.
“By saying humility is voluntary, slave morality avoids admitting that their humility was in the beginning forced upon them by a master.
A good example of this is the rule “turn your enemy the other cheek”, as Jesus taught:
“Christians should pray for Osama bin Laden’s soul even though he was their enemy, as forgiveness is a key teaching in the Bible, a cardinal told an Italian daily in an interview out today.
“I have prayed for the soul of Osama Bin Laden. We have to pray for him just like we pray for the victims of September 11. It’s what Jesus teaches Christians,” French cardinal Albert Vanhoye, 87, told Il Messaggero daily.
“Jesus obliges us to forgive our enemies. The ‘Our Father’ that we recite every day says that. Does it not say ‘Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us’?” Vanhoye said.”
Turning the other cheek does not mean you are prohibited from resisting evil governments. The effective means of opposition are naturally ordained in your nature. Forgiveness may be a foreign concept to the Statist, but to the faithful Christian the prophecies of a Second Coming provide the promise of a just final judgment for every mortal.
Destructive politics is inherent in this ungodly world of government worship. Immortality of Statists is impossible. Their propensity to destroy all that is good and substitute every Luciferian evil imaginable is all that can come from the supremacy of the State.
Nations need to atone before their governments can be reformed. Statist philosophies of any school of thought are intrinsically anti-Christian. Only sincere prayer and repentance that begs for Almighty mercy for intervention will save this planet.

Statism is the darling of the NWO. After the filthy Bolsheviks seized Russia and began their decades long torment of her people and land, they spotted a kindred psychopath in grubby little Bela Kun and sponsored him into control of Hungary, thus establishing the world’s second Communist cesspool. Statism ran amok and plunged a cultured nation into living hell overnight, before its people even knew what happened.
This article is from 1955 but vividly describes the sadistic characteristics of all Communists who attain control over an unwilling populace. Of particular interest is how quickly the criminally insane parasites sought and confiscated privately held guns. Also note how viscously they attacked religion, morality, civil order, and high culture, an indicator of their true targets, smarmy street rats that they were.
They really cannot fight at all and fear a backlash hence the need for ownership and perversion of all law levels and enforcement, but once in control they drop the mask and become depraved killers, unafraid of retribution. For what they did to the world at the dawn of the 20th century they should have all met the same end that they so gleefully extended to their victims.

Warlord and Yukon Jack..
I get tired of re posting
evidence to the contrary of these type of contentions you both have. For the sake of the minds and hearts of other readers….here we go again.
The Declaration of Arbroath 1320
“…Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today. The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very Who is Israel today?
Scriptural characteristics and qualities belonging to Israel.
Do these biblical markers identify the Jews or the Celto-Saxons as Israel today?
1. Israel to Continue as a Nation Before Yahweh Forever (Gen 17:1-7)
2. Israel to Become a Great and Mighty Nation (Gen 18:18), (Deut 26:19)
3. Israel to Become a Vast Multitude of People (Gen13:16, 15:5)
4. Israel to Become a Multitude of Nations (Gen 35:10-11, 48:19)
5. Israel to Rule Over Other Nations (Deut 15:6, 28:13)
6. Israel to Be Feared By All Nations (Deut 2:25, 33:29)
7. Israel to Be a Blessing to All Nations of the Earth (Gen 12:2-3, 18:18)
8. Israel to Have a New Home (2 Sam 7: 10) (1 Ch 17:9) (Ps 2:8) (Is 49:19-20) (2 Sam 7:10)
9. Israel to Be Gathered From Remote Countries, Coasts, and Islands (Is 49:1-3, 51:4-5) (Jer 31:7-10)
10. Israel to Colonize and Spread Abroad (Gen 28:14) (Deut 33:17) (Is 26:15)
11. Israel to Find Native Inhabitants Diminishing Before Her (Deut 28:1-13) (Is 60:12)
12. Israel’s New Land to Be Restored From the Sword (Ez 38:8) (2 Sam 7:10 KJV)
13. Israel’s New Land to Be Inhabited by a People Gathered From Many Nations (Ez 38:8)
14. Israel’s New Land Had Previously Been a Continual Waste (Ez 38:8-12)
15. Israel’s New Land to Be Inhabited by a People Who Would Live Securely (Ez 38:8) (2 Ch 17:9)
16. Israel’s New Land to Have Cities and Villages Without Walls, Bars, or Gates (Ez 38:11)
17. Israel’s New Land Described as the Camp of the Saints (Rev 20:7-9)
18. Israel’s New Land to Be Bordered by an Eastern and Western Sea (Joel 2:20) (Ze9:10)
19. Israel’s New Land to Have Great Agricultural Wealth (Gen27:28) (Deut 28:8-11, 33:13-16,28)
20. Israel to Have a New Religion and to Be Saved by Yahweh (Deut 33:29)
21. Israel (as the Only People Known as YHWH’s Sheep) to Recognize Yeshua as Her Savior/Shepherd (Ps 74:1-2)
The Lord’s 21 promises should give us enough solid information to properly identify Israel. The first question is – Do these 21 promises describe the nation-state called Israel today? If not, then Who and Where is Israel today?
The historical record clearly shows that after the Assyrian captivity, the 10 Northern tribes established the empires of Phoenicia, Carthage, Parthia and Scythia – then migrated through the Caucasus Mountains into Northern Europe, the British Isles and Scandinavia where they became known as the Saxons, Celts, Goths and others.
“Edom is modern Jewry.” – “Encyclopaedica Judaica”, 1925
“JEWS BEGAN TO CALL THEMSELVES HEBREWS AND ISRAELITES IN 1860″. ~ Encyclopedia Judaica 1971 Vol 10:23
“Strictly speaking it is INCORRECT to call an Ancient Israelite a Jew or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew.” (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).
“For scholars of American religion,” Newsweek states, “the idea of a single Judeo-Christian tradition is a made-in-America myth that many of them no longer regard as valid.” It quotes eminent Talmudic scholar Jacob Neusner: “Theologically and historically, there is no such thing as the Judeo-Christian tradition. It’s a secular myth favoured by people who are not really believers themselves.”
Newsweek cites authorities who indicate that “the idea of a common Judeo-Christian tradition first surfaced at the end of the 19th century but did not gain popular support until the 1940s, as part of an American reaction to Nazism . . ,” and concludes that, “Since then, both Jewish and Christian scholars have come to recognize that — geopolitics apart — Judaism and Christianity are different, even rival religions.”
Christianity a rival religion of Judaism? The entire basis of Christianity is Judaism, Jesus was born a Jew and died on a cross to save your soul from the Jew god. End of story, period. Its a bullshit story since the Jew god is fiction along with hell etc. Quoting Jew propaganda like the Bible in support of an argument is not proof, it just means you are under the spell of the Bible.
I humbly suggest you read through Maxine Dietrich’s Blacksun666 website for information of what Christianity really is. (BTW not endorsing her or her site nor am I of any faith or satanist, etc) What she says is the best stuff on the web for understanding what Christianity has done to our people, Christianity is a death cult and those that follow it are helping the Jews destroy everything.
http://www.666blacksun.org/
“Christianity from its very inception was and is nothing more than a program. The agenda of this program is for the destruction of Aryan peoples (descended from the God known as “Satan”) using occult powers, and for the eventual enslavement of all remaining races with the top Jews in total control. The Jews have been using black magick against the Gentiles who have been powerless to fight back, for centuries. This knowledge was forcefully and systematically removed from Aryan peoples by the “Inquisition” where Aryan priests and spiritual leaders such as the Druids and many others were tortured to death and murdered en masse. The White race suffered the most with the “witch trials” where entire villages were nearly wiped out in Europe, namely Germany.”
Why would jesus come back to save mankind when most of mankind turned their back on his teachings from day one. The kingdom of god is within us all and it is up to the individual to find that kingdom.
To find this kingdom you first have to find yourself.
Turn back the clock to 325AD the official birth of Constantine’s “Christianity” at the Council of Nicea in 325AD along with the adoption of the Nicean Creed (doctrine of the Trinity) in the 4th century by order of Constantine and the adulterous relationship of church and state begins and the “church” became mediator between God and men. The 66 scrolls Constantine chose became the Bible, all other scrolls, holy writings, gospel accounts were burned along with anyone who was found hiding them and the wealth poured into the “church” in a deal was sealed and enforced by the state. Any deviation was heresy and death was by torture.
The Greek word for church is “ekklesia” meaning ‘that which is called out’. That is the only word for church in the Bible. Jesus never claimed to be Almighty God, take away the false doctrine of the Trinity and is there anything that divides muslims who love and respect Jesus from being our brothers and sisters. It is time to peel away religious lies that divide to conquer.
Jesus’s message is pure and uncomplicated “the Kingdom of God is within you”.
Anyone who can look at the Vatican and believe that it is the representation of God on earth is delusional. The keys of the kingdom were never given to Peter, that is a lie. They were entrusted to the woman whom he loved and whose name was defamed mercilously by the “church” . The keys of the kingdom are free, received free…given free
The adulterous relationship between church and state is seen for what it is……
A thoughtful piece as usual, satire, though instead of ‘Only sincere prayer and repentance that begs for Almighty mercy for intervention will save this planet.’A thoughtful piece as usual, satire, though instead of ‘Only sincere prayer and repentance that begs for Almighty mercy for intervention will save this planet.’ I would rather conclude that we can gather strength, be it from prayer or inner light, and from that strength intervene, ourselves. Depending on intervention from god is a christian idealistic failing, removing responsibility from the individual. Many of the 260 million killed by the cabal over the last several hundred years probably did a lot of praying, but it was their failure to act that did them in. I appreciate the ideal of gathering mental strength, but it is the individual’s responsibility to act for intervetion in what’s happening.
The thing is, evil people can take ANYTHING and twist it into something [apparently] hideous. That’s their specialty. Somehow they can take something as simple and straightforward as the “Golden Rule”, i.e., don’t do something to someone else that you wouldn’t want them to do to you, and “rationalize” genocide from it.
There’s nothing our Masters won’t trash: The 2nd amendment is evil. Guns are evil. Arabs/Islamics are evil. White nationalists are evil. And on and on ad nauseum. In a sense they’ve defiled our language.
Do you know how they say “the last thing that would ever discover water is a fish”? The same is true of our Christian culture, the last thing the Christian fish would ever discover is that they are in the water matrix of Jewish control. The American culture is aptly referred to as the Judeo-Christian culture, a matrix of religious inspired control, millions of laws governing ever aspect of behavior, an extensive gulag of courts and prisons imprisoning tens of millions for “crimes” like marijuana possession.
Christians think they are moral, they incorrectly believe morality comes from God, a fictitcious character of the Jewish written Bible. They think a godless society is an immoral society, they think our downfall is caused by people turning away from God and the teachings of the Bible. The exact opposite is true, it is the allegiance to Jewish authority that has caused our downfall, a loving God is nowhere to be found in the matrix of evil: endless wars, Israeli false flags like 911 and Fukushima, illegal weapon use like mini-nukes, depleted uranium and white phosphorus, sexual torture camps, rendition flights, extrajudicial drone assassinations. The evil is off the scale, just google “depleted uranium birth defects”. All of this is being done by a Judeo-Christian culture that has its real allegiance to power, this Larken Rose rant exposes Jews and Christians and what they really whoreship:

God is the problem, not the solution, with god comes authority and with authority comes repression. Authority is taught by church and state, it is false concept and it originates in religious text like the Holy Bible. People obey if they believe God has authority because they naturally don’t believe that man has authority. Christians universally support and vote for the “War on Drugs” and oxymoronic term, warring on an inanimate object, to describe human repression, just who has the right to tell another what they can put in their body? No one has any moral authority to tell me that I can or can not smoke marijuana. Who are you to tell me what I can smoke? This article points out the truth, Christians love the state.
Christians fear Shariah Law, they fear the highly controlled Islamic society not seeing that they live in a parallel highly controlled society. Really, Shariah Law is bad? I think bankers being decapitated by sword for the crime of usury is a very good thing. I think World War 3 is a good thing, let the Jews, Christians, and Muslims kill each other off, they richly deserve their collectivistic fate, they bought into religious memes that have caused untold human suffering. Nuclear war is salvation from control freaks.

I live far away from all of you for good reason, I am not controlled at all and live a moral life with my gun in the wilderness, no one ever tells me what to do. One of favorite authors Ayn Rand helped me see what you are, she wrote extensively about statism, but she was Jewish and failed to report on them as the prime cause.
Check out this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-FElZIqWrA
I watched half of it.
Methinks that the scoundrels who are creating ‘Climate Change’ with HAARP etc are also responsible for making that video.
Just shows you how small their minds are. On the day of reckoning, when we collectively realise our true potential, we can squash them like bugs.
Once upon a time, many years ago, I witnessed a glimpse of the capabilities of one mind, given certain conditions and stimulation. If we can co-ordinate this force of 1, 2, 3 billion minds for the sake of a common good we can defeat anything.
And I mean ANYTHING.
I have no doubt of this whatsoever.

Wonderful article. I wish sociologists would examine what kinds of countries/nations/civilizations resulted from Jesus-believe-systems and what kinds of countries/nations/civilizations resulted from Anti-Jesus-believe-systems.
Are you one of the ones at this service?

Comment
The peace Christ offers is inward. It is not a call not to go to war, but to war in the spirit, by words using truth, reason and long suffering. As Paul said, our struggle is not against the flesh (meaning physical warfare against fellow Israelites), rather the powers and principalities in high places. (The elite Jews and their cohorts)

Comment
Excellent insight but having said that, the Lord does not speak against physical warfare saying it is prohibited always, only physical warfare against fellow Christian Israelites.There is a time for everything, including physical war. This is not to be confused with offensive warfare. Defensive warfare is acknowledged and has its time and place so when Christ is saying turn the cheek, this is speaking of how we ought to conduct ourselves when we try to convert or when dealing with fellow Israelites in our nations that are at the four corners of the earth. Many people confuse this with thinking it is a set in stone policy for the Christian nations to never go to war even when being attacked, or for example when the enemy is engaged in practicing genocide against us.
Let me give a couple examples of what is coming up soon;
Edom is Judaism- Encyclopedia Judaica 1925
True Israel/Judah are the white/European and Kindred peoples and Christian nations.

Obediah
18 And the house of Jacob (UK and Colonies) shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph (America) a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
Malachi
2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau (Jews) Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
4 Whereas Edom (“Jews”) saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places (1948); thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation forever.
Revelation 2:9
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Revelation 3:8
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
“Only sincere prayer and repentance that begs for Almighty mercy for intervention will save this planet.”
The problem is rampant egotism, both collective and personal, such as that contained in a static concept such as a mercful ‘God’. What we ‘need’ is to create a culture of ego transformation somewhat similar to the Zen Buddhist philosophy traditionally instilled in the Japanese mindset within our societies.
Until we understand that ‘religion’ represents a singular internal journey of personal understanding with no concrete destination rather than an external manifestation of our feeble hopes and desires we are doomed to lives of meaningless irrelevance.
We can realise this right now, in this moment, by giving our utmost attention to whatever it is we are doing, our breath, the sounds, sights and smells that surround us, the words of this sentence. In truth, this is the only intervention available to us.
It’s not rocket surgery.
It’s actually the most basic expression of consciousness.
The real issue is that in our stupidity, apathy and greed we have managed to create a living hell for ourselves. Now we need to apply our intelligence and remarkable abilities to return this planet to the paradise we were originally entrusted with.
That is entirely OUR responsibility.
‘God’ gave up on us long ago.
