I thank you for being here; the pastor asked how many had seen the film and it looked like there was a decent number of you so you kind of know the ideas and the philosophies of what I am talking about, what I am trying to expose. In Nehemiah in the Bible, if you haven\u2019t read that book recently I encourage you to; there are tremendous parallels to today. Nehemiah saw and heard from someone the report from Jerusalem that the walls were down and it was just decimated. Well, it\u2019s kind of like what\u2019s happened in our country, the walls are down and they\u2019ve been down for a long time. That\u2019s why evil has been able to come and go as it pleases, there\u2019s no opposition to it.\r\n\r\nBut when he saw that, when he heard the report from Jerusalem it broke his heart. I hope it breaks your heart what has happened to America. It should! And the neat thing about that story of Nehemiah, he was burdened by that, he prayed and fasted, that God would use him to rebuild those walls. We each individually need to be praying, God, what would You have me to do? He has something for every single one of us, regardless of our age, there\u2019s things we need to be doing to \u201crebuild the walls\u201d in America. And that\u2019s the only hope for America is us doing that with God\u2019s help.\r\n\r\nThe neat thing about that story is with great leadership, a vision, a clear vision of what was to be done, the walls that had been down in Jerusalem for 150 years were rebuilt in 52 days. That\u2019s what God can do. We don\u2019t have to do the impossible; we don\u2019t have to save America because we can\u2019t save America, but God can. And when I first started really studying things about ten years ago and I realized the walls were down it broke my heart; I was so concerned for my children. I thought wait a minute, I\u2019ve got to do something, if I don\u2019t stand up they\u2019re going to live in a nightmare. And so that\u2019s kind of how we got into making a film (and we\u2019ve never made a film before) because I felt that\u2019s what God wanted me to do.\r\n\r\nThis talk is on the purposeful premeditated treason that has been the fruit and the result of what has happened in our country. And it\u2019s a very purposeful plan. When you see that what has happened to America is not an accident, it\u2019s not just the way things go, it is a plan of many different people and groups of the left to dismantle our families, which is God\u2019s institution, dismantle our churches, which is God\u2019s institution, and dismantle the state the way it\u2019s supposed to be, of limited government, which is God\u2019s institution. They take the jurisdiction from the family and church and pile it all on the state to make a powerful centralized government that is always evil.\r\n\r\nYou study world history the last 6,000 years, there\u2019s not one example of big government that wasn\u2019t abusive over its people. God never meant man to have that kind of power over man. That\u2019s why He set clear jurisdictions over the family, over the church and over the state. And when you obey those you have the most wonderful, blessed, free, godly society you could ever have. And when you disregard those and do what you want to do, man\u2019s way, you have destruction, pain, sorrow, suffering, and confusion. And that\u2019s what we have today.\r\n\r\nNow the next slide, as you can see, this is one of the charts from the new film, Masters of Deceit; I know you can\u2019t see all those details but listen to me. I want you to know our enemy has a plan. They have an agenda of exactly what they\u2019re trying to accomplish. And they have a commander in chief that is Satan; that\u2019s why it\u2019s so organized, it\u2019s so coordinated, it\u2019s so consistent. And it always gets it right; it always knows what to attack and what is good and right and true. They never miss a beat on anything, which tells you something\u2019s going on here. I think that\u2019s why people are always looking for the top man\u2014is it the Rockefellers, is it this or\u2026 there has to be someone because it\u2019s so organized, there has to be one person leading this. Well there, but it\u2019s Satan.\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s why generationally, different countries, it\u2019s all marching to the same drumbeat of total destruction of God\u2019s way of doing things and it\u2019s consistent in that. And their dedication is satanic; it is mindboggling how you would work your whole life to destroy the very country your own grandchildren are going to grow up in. It\u2019s unbelievable. But they are spiritually blind. When you rebel against God he blinds you to the obvious and that\u2019s what is happening. That\u2019s why they can work day and night on these things. A five year old would say that\u2019s not going to work, but they think it\u2019s the greatest thing and anyone that doesn\u2019t agree with them is an idiot, \u201coh, you don\u2019t get it.\u201d Well, they\u2019re blind and God has made them blind and they will not see.\r\n\r\nTwenty-five hundred years ago there was a man named Sun Tzu and he wrote a book called The Art of War, which is still one of the main manuals used in all our military academies in America. It was a masterpiece of warfare and strategy. And he said in that book if you know your enemy you\u2019ll win the battle 50% of the time; if you know yourself you\u2019ll win the battle 50% of the time, BUT if you know yourself AND your enemy you will win 100% of the time. And as I read that I thought you know what, in America we don\u2019t know either one.\r\n\r\nWe don\u2019t know who we are and we don\u2019t know who we are fighting, we don\u2019t know the philos-ophies, and the ideologies that are destroying us from within. And so we\u2019re just ripe for the picking, especially our children. They don\u2019t know anything about anything and so every story sounds true until you hear the other side. And we have left them like sitting ducks because they have not been given the truth and their ability to defend God\u2019s Word in every area of life. And so when they go off to government schools, or as our statistics tell us at the colleges and universities, we lose 85-95%, it\u2019s going up dramatically, in one semester; not four years of college, one semester we lose them. That\u2019s how inadequate we\u2019ve done in preparing them for the battle of worldviews. The Biblical worldview against secular humanism, Marxism, Islam, all these other worldviews that they don\u2019t know anything about, and they sound really good if you don\u2019t know the truth.\r\n\r\nNow this is just a little, a brief trailer that they\u2019re going to play here in just one second because it kind of sets up some of the different areas I\u2019m going to talk about in the talk. [film: You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, there is a price we will not pay, there is a point beyond which they must not advance.\r\n\r\n[Different voices say each of the following sentences]\r\n\r\nAnd this is a point I think we need to comprehend, if America goes down economically it will go down militarily.\r\n\r\nIf America goes down militarily we all go down, the free world is finished and it will be finished for a very, very long time.\r\nEverything practically is in a self-destructive mode. We\u2019re in the most critical period we\u2019ve been in since the Revolutionary War.\r\nIf you\u2019re not alert, you\u2019re not awake with what\u2019s happening. They would just as soon see this country on its knees and everything equalized.\r\nThat concept, collectivism, big government, is a magnet for the predator clash.\u00a0 The plans for all this are to have everything globally in place by 2020. If we\u2019re that dumb and we allow this to happen, we deserve everything we\u2019re going to bet because we\u2019re going to get it right in the neck.\r\n\r\nWe\u2019re headed into what could be a nightmare that would make only atrocities of the 20th century look like they were a desperate [can't understand word]. When people are afraid they ask government to be more, not less. Their theories are designed to scare the people to believe there\u2019s a crisis where there is not a crisis at all. There\u2019s no crisis. I think we are losing more and more freedom because we are afraid.\r\n\r\nThe left wants you to believe that catastrophe is always just around the corner and the only way to avoid it is to do exactly what they say. But this film will show everything they do is just a Trojan horse of deceit, carefully crafted to advance their real agenda of finishing America off.\r\n\r\nWe have been the main stumbling block to world communism since it first raised its ugly head.\r\n\r\nFrom the promotion of Islam to the propaganda of climate change, from the deceit of common core to the manufacture of economic crisis, and from their manipulation of the evangelical church to the unsustainable debt burden this film will show the issues are simply being used as a smoke screen to hide the purposeful, premeditated treasonous attacks on the foundations of our freedom.\r\n\r\nOur religion has just purged us from being able to determine right from wrong.\r\nDo you know what Alexander Solzhenitsyn said about Russia, how the communist took over Russia? He said we forgot God.\r\n\r\nTheir stated agenda, carved in stone in [can't understand word] Georgia and outlined in documents placed in the ark of hope is to eliminate six and a half billion people by century\u2019s end, and they will succeed if we don\u2019t stop them.\r\n\r\nThis is not just a plot over the United States of America, this is a plot for civilizations itself.\r\nIt\u2019s everything Karl Marx dreamed of before [can't understand word\/ sentence].\r\nAmerica isn\u2019t going to crack, we are [can't understand word] end of film]\r\nSo I\u2019m just going to briefly go into some of those areas it talks about, I can\u2019t get into all the details of things but just the point of my talk is to help you really grasp the idea that we are in the midst of a revolution in this country from within. It\u2019s a purposeful revolution, a destruction of everything that is good and right and true. It\u2019s purposeful and it\u2019s strategic and we need to understand that. It\u2019s not just people with differing views on things, it\u2019s people that are carefully working to destroy the foundations. And we need to be engaged in this battle.\r\n\r\nBack in the 1960\u2019s there was one of the 60\u2019s radicals for the SDS, Students for a Democratic Society, that said, and they give us a key to their strategy, they said, \u201cThe issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.\u201d Listen to that. The key element of the attack, \u201cThe issue is never the issue.\u201d Whatever, the women\u2019s rights or this or that, \u201cThe issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution. We are going to use every little issue we can to fight for the revolution of destroying this country from within.\u201d\r\n\r\nAnd that\u2019s what they\u2019ve done. They know how to package their ideas where they sound very appealing. If it\u2019s a Christian they\u2019re trying to reach they\u2019ll pack it with Jesus\u2019 name in there or whatever to make us feel like oh, that must be a good thing, that man was talking about Jesus. And because we are ignorant of what God\u2019s Word says so everything sounds good if it\u2019s packaged in Christian labels and terms. But there\u2019s a plan behind it.\r\n\r\nIn 1999 the BBC had a poll to determine who was the greatest thinker of the last 1,000 years; that\u2019s a long time, not 100, 1,000. And this will help you understand the idea, the philosophies of who we\u2019re fighting. Guess who won that? Karl Marx. And at first I thought oh, that\u2019s ridiculous, and then I said no it\u2019s not. He has had more influence on this world today than anyone in a thousand years. His ideas, we\u2019ve been told communism is dead and the cold war is over, and nothing could be further from the truth. They accomplished the greatest feat that has ever been done in the history of warfare. They convinced their enemies they no longer existed.\r\n\r\nAnd so they\u2019re running about in our colleges and universities and the media. There was just a film this last year, what\u2019s it called, Trumbo or whatever, it\u2019s about one of the Hollywood screen writers who was a communist, it made him look like he was the greatest person of all time. He was a communist agent trying to subvert Hollywood.\r\n\r\nAnd it\u2019s everywhere we go, and the Marxist ideas are being accepted. That\u2019s what\u2019s being taught our children. I think if you interviewed people and surveyed them under 40 in this America, most of them, the ideas and philosophies of Marxism they would be totally for because they don\u2019t understand what it is.\r\n\r\nThe foundation of it is this simple: It\u2019s the philosophy that the good and the many outweigh the good and the few. If that sounds good to you, you\u2019ve been influenced. America was never about the good and the many outweighing the good of the few. Why? Because when you have that philosophy there\u2019s always going to be minority groups that are going to be abused, because all you\u2019re worried about is the many. And you have another problem with that; big government will tell you what\u2019s the good of the many; you have no way of knowing what\u2019s best for everyone and every society in the country so when they tell you you need to do this to save the planet or whatever, you have to okay, I guess we\u2019d better do that. So you\u2019re just ripe to be abused.\r\n\r\nAmerica was about protecting each individual person because they are precious, they are made in the image of God and their life is priceless. And that\u2019s why our Founding Fathers, if you read their writings, everything they talk about, how we do we protect the individual, how do we make sure government can\u2019t intrude on them, society can\u2019t intrude on them. They are free to do what is right before God and no one can get near them and touch them. That\u2019s what America was about because they knew if you take care of the individuals the collective will be just fine.\r\n\r\nWhen you start pooling things for the masses, a good old Marxist term, you abuse people; people have no value, no meaning. In Islamic ideology and in the communist ideology it\u2019s identical, each individual human life has no value whatsoever; it\u2019s expendable for anything. And that\u2019s not America and that\u2019s not Christianity.\r\n\r\nOne of the greatest Marxist thinkers of the 20th century was a man named Vladimir Lennon, who was the founder of the Soviet Union. He was a genius at strategy and I\u2019ve read a lot of his things and he said the best way to control the opposition is to lead it yourself. The best way to control the opposition is to lead it yourself. And that is what has happened in this country. They realize you infiltrate, subvert and come from the inside, rise up and take things over. And that is what they have done. That\u2019s what they did to the Christian church, on so many different things. As I studied this and dug in deeply that is what they\u2019ve been working at for 80-90 years and that\u2019s what they do.\r\n\r\nOne of the interesting things that is a result of making these films is when I first made the first film, it started to circulate through the grass roots all over America, and I started to get calls from older gentlemen that were retired intelligence, that love this country, they were good men that met together and some of them were in groups, CIA, FBI, even KGB agents that had defected to the West, and they said your movie\u2026 they just loved it but they said it doesn\u2019t even touch the tip of the iceberg; we were in the middle of this, we know exactly what is going on. And they said \u2026 I built friendships with many of these people and it was just eye opening that they would tell me firsthand so many different things.\r\n\r\nAnd one day I got a call from one of those gentlemen and he said Curtis, can you be in Houston tomorrow and I live in Boise, Idaho, and I said I think so, is it important? He said yes it is. Okay, I\u2019ll be in Houston tomorrow. So I got there and they had flown in a gentlemen named Pavel Stroilov from the Soviet Union, he was born and raised in the Soviet Union. And who he is, his mentor was a man named Alexander Litvinenko and that name you might have heard of, he was the man that was poisoned by Putin with radioactive plutonium 210. And he was a KGB agent of Alexander Litvinenko.\r\n\r\nWell, this was his prot\u00e9g\u00e9, and I met with him and it was so interesting. We talked about so many different things. While Alexander Litvinenko was alive he got Pavel a job at the Kremlin, working at the Gorbachev Institute and while he was there he stole 50,000 top secret documents from Gorbachev\u2019s record while he was sin office, his private memos, and he took those and some of these intelligence men, I tell you, they translated them all into English from Russian, but those things, the ones they\u2019ve given to me, they reveal everything we thought was true was true. And it\u2019s, I mean, just from the United Nations being a Marxist organization and Gorbachev said that is our group, it\u2019s our instrument for world policy, we control it, we are going to have world government through the United Nations and we will control it and on and on. The environmental movement, that is our new vehicle to take over the world. And so many different things, even with radical Islam, we arm it, we fund it, we finance it, we stir them up and let them create the chaos that we can take advantage of. And it was a lot of very sobering facts.\r\n\r\nBut he answered a question for me, Pavel, one key question of many, that was so important. I said Pavel, why didn\u2019t communism die? I mean, it was proven to be a total failure, why didn\u2019t it die? And this is what he said, it was so profound to me because I\u2019d been studying this for ten years full time; he said Curtis, it\u2019s still around and thriving more than it ever has because it never had its trial. Nazism is gone today because when World War II ended we had a trial, we exposed the evil of Nazism to the world, we had the Nuremburg Trials and so the whole world knew that\u2019s not a good thing. He said when you guys won the cold war, which is a joke, he said you didn\u2019t win anything. He said you didn\u2019t have a trial, you didn\u2019t oh, the communist dictator says they slaughtered their own people, there was no justice, there was no exposing the evil and so it just began to flourish. You didn\u2019t go into the Soviet Union and remove the KGB from all the positions of power. He goes they\u2019re stronger today than they have ever been, but you think they don\u2019t even exist.\r\n\r\nAnd he just went thing after thing and all of a sudden it made sense. I mean, they didn\u2019t have\u2026. Gorbachev, Mikhail Gorbachev, do you know what he did immediately upon stepping down from the Soviet Union? He started an environmental group, Green Cross International, and it\u2019s one of the most powerful environmental groups in America, in the world today. They simply changed colors, they repackaged the red agenda that had had a bad name in the 20th century and they put green wrapping on it. That\u2019s all that is. And we get into details of that, but it\u2019s important to understand your enemy and to understand what\u2019s going on.\r\n\r\nAnd another key that was given to us, I\u2019ll get into more of that in just a minute, another key that Vladimir Lenin gave us of their strategy, what they do, is this quote here: \u201cCarefully attentively and skillfully take advantage of every, even the smallest fissure among the enemy. Seize every, even the smallest opportunity of gaining a mass ally , even though this ally be temporary, vacillating, unstable, unreliable, unconditional. Those who do not understand this fail to understand even a grain of Marxism.\u201d\r\n\r\nSo what does that say in English? It says Marxists are about using people, everyone they can, anyone they can, they\u2019ll use their enemy, they\u2019ll use their friends, they\u2019ll use anybody, any group, anything. They use people to gain control, to accomplish their goals and they\u2019ve been very successful at it.\r\n\r\nOne of the little parts that the film gets into, the new film, is about the extremist assimilation into our society. We know, from our own records, that the communist were infiltrating the Christian churches and seminaries and divinity schools in America, at least by the 1930\u2019s, maybe even in the 20\u2019s, getting into all those seminaries to train the pastors. But here\u2019s the thing we didn\u2019t think about is they were also getting into all the Islamic seminaries in the Middle East and Alexander Litvinenko, that KGB agent that defected and died in London, before he died in London he told Pavel and the others in the news that was there, our media, of course, didn\u2019t cover it, but he said I want you to know, and this is why Pavel said this is why Putin killed him, he was starting to expose radical Islam in the former Soviet Union hand and glove. He said I want you to know the terrorist attacks against the Soviet Union, remember when the apartment buildings were blown up in the Soviet Union? He said we did it, the KGB. The Islamics didn\u2019t do that, we wanted to make it look like we were against them and so oh, they\u2019re attacking us too, and all this. That was all just a show. And he also said we have been training, financing army, all the top leaders of radical Islam for 50 years in our country. This is nothing new. He said the head of the KGB right now is a soviet agent that has trained here with our KGB for a decade.\r\n\r\nSo a lot of things are not how we see them to be. Another thing we found out in the 90\u2019s when a lot of the KGB files and stuff were opened as an act of good will toward us, have you ever heard of the Palestine Liberation Organization? The PLO? That was the most\u2026 that was the biggest, most powerful, one of the first key Islamic terrorist groups in the world. In the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s is just ruled the world. Well, we know now that wasn\u2019t Islamic at all, that was KGB agents from the Soviet Union acting like they\u2019re Islamic. The PLO was 100% KGB Soviet Union.\r\n\r\nThey were stirring the pot because they love chaos. You read their writings, we want to do anything to create chaos because when things are chaotic it\u2019s easy to put up your puppet guy and say he\u2019s for the people, we need to change this government in Egypt or wherever, we need to change things around. They love chaos because when people are fearful they will accept anything if they think it will solve their problems.\r\n\r\nIan Pachepa, who was head of the Romanian KGB, had a meeting with Andropov, who was head of the Soviet KGB in 1972, Pachepa has now defected to America, many years ago, he realized the evils of communism, but he let us know, he said we sent, just at that one time, in 1972, 4,000 Soviet agents into the Islamic world to stir up hatred against Israel and the United States, to get into [can't understand word], the work their way up where they are the leaders of Islam. They act like they\u2019re Islamists but they are the leaders themselves, so they can control the useful idiots is what they call the people, like in America that they use, the people in any country they use, they call them useful idiots. They\u2019re people, they believe our propaganda, we use them to accomplish whatever our goal is and they legitimize us.\r\n\r\nOne of their key strategies, they talk about all the time is we have to have it where the majority of people pushing for the world communism aren\u2019t communist. It adds legitimacy to us. They\u2019re like they\u2019re well-meaning Christians that have bought into this utopia, or they\u2019re well-meaning these people, that\u2019s what makes us so validated, because people will attack them and the people will go we\u2019re not communist, what is communism. But they\u2019re being used for the movement and for the struggle for world communism.\r\n\r\nDr. Shariat, one of the gentlemen I interviewed in the new film, he lives in Dallas, you ought to go up and see him or maybe have him come speak here sometime, one of the sweetest Christian men I\u2019ve ever met, just talking to him. His business card says this: \u201cI love people that are optimistic for the Lord.\u201d He has a satellite TV station that goes into Iran 24\/7 Christian broadcasting TV station, they can\u2019t stop it because it\u2019s coming from satellite 24 hours a day, and his business card says, Iran Alive. Iran Alive is his ministry, it says, \u201cTurning Iran into a Christian nation this generation.\u201d I said can I give you a hug, I\u2019m sorry, I love that. He said God\u2019s going to do it, he said right now in Iran, and that\u2019s where he was born and raised, so he\u2019s been there and done that. He said right now he would estimate 75-85% of Muslims, he said there are not only secular Muslims that are serious about Islam, they\u2019re not only could take it or leave it, he goes they hate Islam with every fiber in their body; they\u2019ve lived under it now in the wave of\u2026 it was supposed to be perfect with the Ayatollah, we have the religious leader and the political leader are one person. It\u2019s supposed to create a utopia on earth, just like communism, and they\u2019ve been under it for forty years now and it\u2019s a nightmare. They\u2019ve been abusing\u2026 that\u2019s our own government, our own\u2026 so they know it\u2019s a lie. He said he\u2019s getting calls every day from the children of the top Islamic leaders that have gotten saved and they we see it\u2019s a lie, our father doesn\u2019t pray to Allah, he doesn\u2019t do anything he tells the people to do. He is in this for power and control. And that\u2019s what it\u2019s about.\r\n\r\nI go through that in the film, that Islam and Communism are twins, their ideologies, one has a religious veneer, the other one now is getting a pagan veneer with earth worship and paganism with this environmental movement, but they are only about one thing\u2014total control of the planet. And that is all it is about. And that\u2019s why I asked Dr. Shariat, I said are you telling me the Islamic leaders of the world are not praying to Allah and really care about his thing. He smiled and he said are you kidding, it is power and control. They\u2019re just using the [can't understand word] that Allah is the answer, or whatever, and they\u2019re just using that, they always use people.\r\n\r\nAnd that\u2019s why we have to expose them, that\u2019s not right to allow these people to be used in a lie for evil. And as more and more are brought to America it\u2019s not a good thing, but we as Christians need to take advantage of that. We need to be sharing the gospel with them. They are trapped, many of them, with fear, that is a religion of fear, that\u2019s all it is about. You don\u2019t know if you\u2019re going to heaven or not, there\u2019s no forgiveness, there\u2019s no love, it is you obey or else, and maybe you\u2019ll get into heaven.\r\n\r\nBut we have hope to share with them, we have security in Jesus Christ and we need to be sharing that. That\u2019s what Dr. Shariat said, he said you need to be loving on them, they know nothing of real love and if you love on them, he goes it\u2019s amazing what God can do through that.\r\n\r\nAnd our educational system, my goodness, when something has been going the wrong direction for 70 years, straight years, it seems like people go something\u2019s broken, we can\u2019t keep doing what we\u2019ve always done, but it\u2019s always throw more money at it or whatever. Well, John Dewey, who was of course the founder of the government school system the way it is running today, he was a founding member of the Social Society in America, he was the author of the Humanist Manifesto, which is rotten to the core if you read it. He was one of the founders of the American Civil Liberties Union. Now if you\u2019re not aware of that, I know it has a great name, they always do, all their groups have wonderful names.\r\n\r\nThe American Civil Liberties Union was started by a man named Roger Baldwin And Roger Baldwin, when asked, \u201cWhat is the point of the ACLU,\u201d said communism is the goal, period. And if that\u2019s not enough proof of where they\u2019re coming from when the ACLU first started their office in New York City, for years, was inside the Communist Party Headquarters USA. That\u2019s where it was started from; they actually had an office in the Communist Party Headquarters. It\u2019s all about twisting and abusing and turning everything on its head.\r\n\r\nOne of the top Marxist groups in American over the last 30 years or so is a committee in Chicago called The Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights. It\u2019s a communist organization, a committee to Defend the Bill of Rights. Who\u2019s not for that? I mean, they get tax funding, they do a lot of damage and we just sit by.\r\n\r\nThe next slide there, and this just briefly goes into it but here\u2019s the thing I want you to understand. Whether it\u2019s been Republicans in there, unfortunately, or Democrats, it\u2019s been going the wrong direction, consistently. The higher ups in the Republican party are elitist just as much as those in the Democratic party. They\u2019re hoping, I think, to be able to have a big government model that\u2019s not abusive of the people, I think some of them\u2026 but it doesn\u2019t matter, you get to the same path and government has to be abusive. Do you know why, like Bernie and all\u2026 you know, all the young people love Bernie, you can never stop at socialism. Do you know why? Because socialism doesn\u2019t work and so sooner or later you have to get totalitarian because you have to pull out the guns to make people do what they won\u2019t do on their own.\r\n\r\nWhy? Because we are sinful human beings; we\u2019re naturally lazy, selfish, we do what we want to do, and when you\u2019re in a system of socialism that says everyone gets paid the same, regardless of what they do, everyone eats whether they work or not, you\u2019re defying God\u2019s principles. That\u2019s why it can\u2019t work, He will not allow it to work. The Bible says if a man doesn\u2019t work, neither shall he eat. It\u2019s very, very clear. And the charity throughout America and the world was always supposed to be done by the church and individuals so there\u2019s accountability. So you know if the guy is just lazy and if he is you don\u2019t help him. That\u2019s not loving and kind, to help a guy and to encourage him in his laziness. But when you find a guy that really does need help you do help him, sacrificially, but you\u2019re there to keep\u2026 hey, did you go to that job interview I set up for you, did you\u2026 and you keep helping them along and you\u2019re there and you know there\u2019s accountability because you\u2019re watching, you\u2019re checking on them. Hey, what are you doing, you need to do this, you need to do that, and there\u2019s accountability and that helps people get out of poverty.\r\n\r\nBig government enslaves people in poverty and that was the point of it. The Great Society programs are for one purpose only, if you read it, LBJ, to guarantee the black society would be voting democrat from here on out. He was warned by Senator Daniel Moynihan, that he came to the President and he said Mr. President, if you implement this Great Society program it will destroy the black families in America. And he said I don\u2019t care, it\u2019ll guarantee their vote. If you study him enough he was not a good man; he did not do it with a well-meaning heart. They knew\u2014I don\u2019t care, we want the votes. And so it\u2019s sad, and we allowed that to happen; we shouldn\u2019t have, that\u2019s evil. The black families in America have been destroyed through the welfare system. That\u2019s our fault, we\u2019re sitting idly by and not standing up and fighting with everything in us.\r\n\r\nBut the education thing here, real quickly, a key strategy they always use, which as I studied them I finally figured this out. Do you ever think it\u2019s funny how they use\u2026 they give their different programs names. You think well, why would you give it name, why don\u2019t you just do those things, like Common Core, why don\u2019t you just implement those things in the system, no one knows what\u2019s going on anyway, and not give it name, so it\u2019s something for us to attack. But as I studied I realized they want us to have something to attack; they want those of us that are awake and engaged to have an enemy so we\u2019re focused on Common Core, we\u2019re going to beat that Common Core so we\u2019re just focused on the branches of the treaty, we never get to the root of the problem. It\u2019s very strategic, give your enemy a little icon to go attack while you\u2019re still marching forward in all these other areas. It\u2019ll keep them busy, they\u2019ll feel like they did something, and even if they even beat it they\u2019ll feel like oh, we had a great victory, we beat Common Core. But they\u2019ll go we\u2019re still are taking all the children five years to implement, to stop Common Core and guess what, we went ahead and implemented everything in Common Core anyway, we just didn\u2019t tell you about it.\r\nThat\u2019s like outcome-based education, all these different reform programs of the 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s, we thought we beat them but if you look at what those were they\u2019re all in schools today anyway. They name things specifically to give you a target so you\u2019re not focused on them. And it\u2019s very strategic.\r\n\r\nThe environment, briefly this is an issue that is not going away in your lifetime. It will not go away, it doesn\u2019t matter how many facts we have, it doesn\u2019t matter why, because you cannot stop, you cannot step back from a movement of saving the planet. I mean, you can\u2019t get grander than that, you can\u2019t step back from that to some other little cause, you\u2019ll lose half of your people. So it\u2019s not going away, it doesn\u2019t matter how many facts we have, it is going to be in our face. But we need to know the facts to help wake those up.\r\n\r\nNow I\u2019m just going to give you a couple of quick ones, the movie has more and there\u2019s hundreds of great books out there now that expose the lies of environmentalism. But here\u2019s one interesting one. It\u2019s really disgusting and shocking but what is the foundation of the entire environmental movement? CO2 is a pollutant. That\u2019s the bedrock of the whole thing. We\u2019ve got a big carbon footprint, how dare you\u2026 well, I didn\u2019t go to government schools, thankfully, and that would be humorous to me if it wasn\u2019t so evil to lie to people like that. CO2 literally is plant food, it\u2019s fertilizer for everything that is green and they call their movement The Green Movement. It\u2019s going to cut carbon dioxide which hurts everything that is green. The current levels of CO2 in the world are 425 parts per million. Okay.\r\n\r\nWell, if you go home and Google what\u2019s the optimum CO2 level for everything green you will find the best level is 1600 parts per million. We are at one-fourth of the optimum level of CO2 for everything that is green to thrive. That\u2019s why greenhouses have the CO2 machines just pumping carbon dioxide into the greenhouses, doubling, tripling and quadrupling the CO2 so the plants explode, and they do. Every time you double CO2 plant growth efficiency increases 35% so the same tree or plant will grow 35% faster, it\u2019ll produce 35% more fruit or whatever it is, or vegetables; 35% more every time you double it.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s the interesting thing too; if CO2 drops before 150 parts per million everything green in the planet dies. We\u2019re right at the bottom of where the CO2 level is and they\u2019re telling us to stop CO2 pollution, stop all this stuff. You know, the first logical question I hope that\u2019s in your mind, well why would they do that? Because CO2 is expelled by every living thing on the planet. You are the enemy of the environmental movement. Productivity is the enemy of the environmental movement; all productivity produces CO2, whether you\u2019re making energy, whether you\u2019re driving around to work your businesses, air conditioner in homes, everything produces CO2, which is wonderful. And the most amazing thing of all, of all that CO2 which is a fraction of the environment, one-fourth of what it should be, the amount made by man is less than 10% of the CO2 in the atmosphere. 90% is off the oceans; it\u2019s simply the way God designed evaporation off the oceans and things like that.\r\n\r\nBut that\u2019s the bedrock of the whole thing; everything is based on that, and it\u2019s a complete lie. We should encourage businesses to start factories that are just pumping out CO2 around the clock, if you really cared about what was green. Isn\u2019t that funny? God knew what he was doing; He knew the more people on the planet the more food you\u2019re going to need so the more CO2 you\u2019re going to produce and it\u2019s going to help everything to grow bigger and faster and stronger so there will always be plenty of food for everyone.\r\n\r\nAnd yet Africa, no, they can\u2019t get electricity because it\u2019s going to produce too much carbon emissions, so they have to live in squalor and poverty, dying; over 50,000, 000 little black children have already died from the policies of the environmental movement, from malaria. 50,000,000, okay, and it keeps going; they won\u2019t let them use DDT to stop the mosquitoes from biting them and DDT is harmless to the environment. And we don\u2019t care, those little children are far more priceless than some little bird or whatever. But that\u2019s even been prove to be a lie.\r\n\r\nI know a man that goes around talks on DDT and he drinks some of it before every presentation, it is totally harmless, it\u2019s the most wonderful chemical used appropriately inside the home to stop those malaria carrying mosquitoes from killing all these young children. And not only them but the 800,000,000 million people a year that get malaria, that are adults; they don\u2019t die but they\u2019re sick year after year, 800,000,000, almost a billion a year. Most of the world is suffering because of malaria and we could snuff it out like we did in America. We used to have malaria here, we used DDT and snuffed it out. So they go that\u2019s not a good think, that\u2019s hurting mankind. It\u2019s all a lie! But it\u2019s a scary lie.\r\n\r\nYou know, Mr. Gorbachev I talked about, he is one of the leaders in this movement, a murderous communist dictator. He slaughtered hundreds of college students these last two years as leader of the Soviet Union and he\u2019s still treated like a king in America. In fact, when I came to meet with Pavlov that day a few years ago, I think 2012, that night here in Houston, Gorbachev was speaking so [can't understand word] and I went together to hear him speak and the elite of Houston Texas went berserk for him when he was speaking. He was introduced by whatever, they have a big center downtown with a big arch and it was in this building, he was introduced as the greatest human being of all the last 50 years, this murderous, lying dictator.\r\n\r\nAnd when I found out this, how many of you have heard of The Earth Charter? The Earth Charter is the new Ten Commandments for the environment, it\u2019s supposed to be the new Ten Command-ments for the 21st century, and I found out that they were written by Mr. Gorbachev. And let me tell you how scary this gets. They were written and they were a blueprint for what they want to do with sustainability, which has nothing to do with sustainability, it\u2019s about slavery. But it\u2019s the blueprint for that worldwide and guess what they keep that in?\r\n\r\nGuess what they keep the earth charter in? They made an exact replica of the Ark of the Covenant to keep that in, and people are literally worshipping it around the world, it travels throughout the world year round, they\u2019re praying to it, putting gifts before it. This gets scary; it is an earth paganism which now has made earth the god so man is the enemy and when you do that any totalitarian means necessary to save the planet is justified, because it\u2019s all about Mother Earth, man is the enemy of Mother Earth. You can\u2019t sit on the sideline on this issue; do you hear me? If you do, just like we sat on the sideline with the Great Society programs and things, there\u2019s going to be slaughter like the world has never seen. It\u2019s going to make the 20th century of the hundreds of millions killed by communism look like a joke. I truly believe by the end of this century they will have killed at least five billion of us, under the guise of saving the planet. I truly believe that, through euthanasia, abortion and other means.\r\n\r\nAnd so we\u2019ve got our work cut out for us because as a Christian we know that every human being was made in the image of God and they\u2019re precious and priceless and we have to stand up and protect them. We have to expose these lies because evil is just beginning to flourish because we\u2019ve failed to stand up like we could, but we can repent of that and turn now and say God, what would you have me to do. And then do it with courage and cheerfulness, whatever He asks you to do.\r\n\r\nThe evangelical church, again I talked about it a little bit, in the film I go back, in the early 1950\u2019s the Congress of America, they had a committee called The Un-American Activities Committee, and they investigated what communism was doing in our country, and they interviewed some of the top communist leaders that had come over to our side, and they said our number one goal since the early 30\u2019s was to take over the divinity schools and the seminaries because Christianity is our main target and we\u2019ve got to start teaching the pastors themselves so that we can control the whole church and use them as useful idiots for our cause. We can use them to push social justice, or creation care, or whatever the little buzz word they create to use us to push things in their\u2026 a big government, regulation, and so on and so forth.\r\n\r\nAnd it goes into the details in the movie but it\u2019s what\u2019s happened. We were warned though; how many of you have ever heard of a man, General William Booth? He was the founder of the Salvation Army and he said this: \u201cThe chief danger of the 20th century will be religion without the Holy Spirit, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God and heaven without hell.\u201d That\u2019s exactly where we\u2019re sitting today. Do you know that between 85-90% of our seminaries, evangelical seminaries in America, do not believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. That\u2019s how successful they have been. That\u2019s why most churches, if you go to church here and I know your pastor, I can tell by his talks last week and his stuff, he does believe in Genesis through Revelation; you be thankful, you listen, you obey, you support, you get behind, you invite guests in so this church can grow and have more impact in this community, and more impact in this community; that\u2019s all it starts with, each individual person getting serious about following the Lord. And then grouping together where we can accomplish more together than we can by ourselves. But be grateful for what God has given you. We have been so blessed in this country.\r\n\r\nThe next thing the film got into a little bit and is the purposefulness of the economic espionage in this country. The reason why it\u2019s so hard to make ends meet, you have both parents working but you still can\u2019t make it. That was all planned out. In the 30\u2019s and 40\u2019s and 50\u2019s I read so many articles by them that said listen, we\u2019ve got to create enough inflation where the woman has to work whether she wants to or not, so we get the kids. They understood it\u2019s about the kids; we don\u2019t. We\u2019d give our kids to any little thing coming along, oh, little league, church group, just keep them away from us. We delegate all our responsibilities as parents in raising and teaching and training and discipling our children and we will stand before God and give an account of that. We can\u2019t do that! But the economic things are purposeful.\r\n\r\nIf you look at the next slide there, it\u2019s reason why the homes\u2026 in 1915 my grandfather bought a very nice house, it was a beautiful Victorian for $4500. Then in 1965 I was raised in a very nice house on a lake in Florida and my dad paid $45,000 for. And our home in Idaho cost $450,000. Every fifty years things go up ten times in price. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so hard to make it. And that\u2019s with the inflation rates we\u2019ve had, which most people think well, it\u2019s not a big deal; it is a big deal. It\u2019s purposely stealing our wealth. And the movie gets into the key people behind it who said we are going to steal their wealth and they won\u2019t have a clue what\u2019s happening. Do you know who the man that said that is? John Maynard Keynes, Keynes\u2019 Economics is what we proudly boast we\u2019re Keynes\u2019 economists today, he said we\u2019re going to steal their wealth from them, they won\u2019t have a clue what\u2019s going on. We\u2019re going to impoverish them so we can control them.; he goes it will end in destruction, and he was happy about that. But we\u2019re all, Obama is a proud Keynesian, most of the Republicans are proud Keynesian; the Bible says the borrower is servant to the lender. And that will not be defied, getting more in debt will never solve your economic problems.\r\n\r\nNow I\u2019ll just move through a few things here, I guess one thing I want you to understand is, again, it\u2019s the leaders of the other side, there\u2019s many well-meaning people on every side of everything that is sucked into the propaganda, how to be na\u00efve or whatever, but the people that are in charge of the policies and in putting forth the issues and things, they know what they\u2019re doing. And we, a lot of times, legitimize them by acting like oh, those Democrats just don\u2019t understand economic policy, or oh, they don\u2019t get this or they don\u2019t get that or whatever. And we\u2019re the ones being na\u00efve by saying that. They know exactly what they are doing, they are trying to hurt the economy. Why? Because they want dependency, it guarantees votes which guarantees control. It\u2019s always that way.\r\n\r\nYou couldn\u2019t be as consistent in doing things as anti-American as most of our politicians have been unless it\u2019s purposeful. You couldn\u2019t be that\u2026 you\u2019re going to be\u2026 I mean, I love the saying \u201cconsistency has never been a virtue of ignorance.\u201d When things are 100% consistent it\u2019s not out of ignorance; it is a purposeful plan. And we have to accept that, we can\u2019t go there just in fantasy land, they don\u2019t get it, they don\u2019t understand. They know what they\u2019re doing and we need to stand in opposition to them.\r\n\r\nI just got a couple of things here in closing. Do you remember this picture? Have you ever seen this one before? I love this picture, that sweet man, called the Tank Man; in Tiananmen Square in 1989 there was a college protest, a peaceful college protest, just with signs, we\u2019d like a little more freedom to listen to our music or to talk about ideas, no violence, no anything, and the Chinese government came in and rolled the tanks in, and this man stood in front of the line of tanks and he would not move. They started to go around him and he would go and step in front of them. They\u2019d go the other way\u2026 and then he finally climbed up on top of them and stuff, and I heard they eventually took him out and executed him.\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s the kind of commitment we need to truth. We\u2019re willing to stand up regardless of the cost, no matter what the cost is, because it is truth. Jesus Christ said, \u201cI am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me.\u201d He is the truth. Whenever you are standing for the truth you are standing for Jesus Christ. And any time you are cowardly and do not stand for the truth you\u2019re turning your back on Jesus Christ. We can\u2019t do that. We have to stand with courage.\r\n\r\nI\u2019m going to tell you a quick story here that\u2019s so important, it really impacted my life. In the 1980\u2019s Romania had a dictator called Ceausescu, one of the ruthless dictators in the communist world. He\u2019d been there for decades and December of 1989 he gave the orders to have one more of the many churches he\u2019d bulldozed, one more church bulldozed. And he\u2019d done this for thirty years to many of them. But this pastor and this congregation just of a few people, they heard that was going to happen and they said no, he\u2019s not going to bulldoze our church, we won\u2019t let him do that. And so they, the bulldozer showed up and they stood out front with candles just singing, out in front of their church, 25 people or whatever. And when the bulldozer got there they didn\u2019t know what to do because they didn\u2019t know people were going to be there, so they went back to get orders, it was before cell phones and things, and they came back the next day, and there was hundreds of people out there.\r\n\r\nSo they went back again and they said now there\u2019s hundreds, so they came back the next day and there was tens of thousands of people standing in front of this church singing and holding a candle. And they were chanting something, which tells me they understood the battle we are in. Do you know what they were chanting out there as they were standing? There is God, there is God, there is God. They understood the lies of communism that says there is no God is a lie. They knew the whole battle was over God or man, we\u2019re going to do things God\u2019s way and be subservient to Him or we\u2019re going to be ruled by tyrants. There\u2019s no other alternative in this world, and they understood that and their way of saying that is \u201cthere is God,\u201d you can do whatever you want but we know God is there. And they stood there, finally Ceausescu gave the orders, kill them. And they started machine gunning down those sweet Christians out there and they didn\u2019t leave, they took the bullets and they\u2019re machine gunning them down.\r\n\r\nAnd I believe God supernaturally answered their prayers and their sacrifice. Do you know what happened? They killed about 500 of them, and then all of a sudden the communist soldiers stopped shooting them and God pierced their heart through; they realized they were killing their own people and He opened their eyes to that. They had been doing it for 30 years but all of a sudden God revealed their eyes and those tanks turned, they drove back to the palace, they got Ceausescu and his wife and they took them out and executed them. That night it was Christmas Eve, 1989 and the next morning the paper in Romania, a communist country, said the antichrist is dead, Jesus is born. [clapping] They had no weapons, no power, no influence but God blessed their courage and communism ended in Romania. They were willing to die for what they believed in and we need to be too. Jesus, His worth, I promise you that, I promise you He is so worth it, it would be a blessing to have the privilege of dying for Him.\r\n\r\nNone of us want things to happen like that and He knows that. He knows we\u2019re cowards, so fleshly and whatever, but if we have to take that thing, like many great people in history have, He\u2019s worth it. He is so worth it! And we need to think about that.\r\n\r\nNow I\u2019m going to show you one last little clip here, if you go just to the very last clip, don\u2019t start it quite yet, I want to say one last thing here, before you show that I want to say one thing. Again, I think too often in life we get overwhelmed by the big picture. We see America crumbling and we go I can\u2019t save America, and that\u2019s right, you can\u2019t. But God can. And I want to tell you this: I think the key, the total key for us as Christians in winning this battle for truth and righteousness is one thing; it can be summed up in one word and nothing else\u2014obedience. Obedience!\r\n\r\nWe have to obey God; God told us exactly how things are to be done. He gave us His Book, He gave us the truth, we have to obey Him. Regardless of the cost we have to obey, obey, obey, and be asking Him\u2026 well, I don\u2019t know what He wants me to do. Well, start reading His Book every day first of all and you\u2019ll see many things, like sharing the gospel with everyone you meet. Make a commitment today that you are not going to bed each night the rest of your life if you haven\u2019t shared the gospel or given a tract to at least one person. Don\u2019t just say God, it\u2019s 11:00 o\u2019clock at night but I\u2019ll go find someone, but I am going to share the gospel, the truth of You with someone every day the rest of my life. And hopefully more than that, but start there. There\u2019s great tracts you can give you at first if you\u2019re nervous. There\u2019s a program called The Way of the Master by Ray Comfort, it had a great impact on me in effective ways of communicating the gospel. Maybe there\u2019s a church some time, you can watch some of those.\r\n\r\nI really appreciate the message of those but in 2008 I felt God wanted our family to make a film. And I kind of said no for about six months and I was praying about it and I finally realized, He really does. And so I said okay God, we\u2019ll do it, but we\u2019ve never made a film before, You have to help. And He did. And I just want to tell you, everyone has a different task but that\u2019s what He asked us to do. And right as we were starting to make that film, we hadn\u2019t even bought a camera yet, my kids said, Daddy\u2026 they had heard that there was a big film festival in Texas, in San Antoni, that had 100,000 grand prize for best of festival. And they said Daddy, why don\u2019t we fast and pray this Friday that your film, the one I hadn\u2019t even started on, I hadn\u2019t even bought a camera yet, wins that festival. Like, okay! You never want to discourage anyone from asking and praying but it was like oh my goodness, that\u2019s kind of a big request.\r\n\r\nSo we did it. The next Friday I went in to get breakfast stuff out and my daughter said Daddy, it\u2019s Friday, are we going to fast that the film wins. I said oh, this Friday too, I didn\u2019t realize that. She goes every Friday until it wins. To make a long story short, this is your God too, it\u2019s not just my God, we fasted and prayed every single Friday as a family for 22 months until God did this.\r\n\r\n[music plays] In 2007 I was a State Representative and I had no idea the things I would discover about why America was collapsing from within would motivate me to take my life savings and make a film. And I had never made a film before. During the two years it took to finish the project my children prayed daily that it would win the largest single cash prize film festival in America, which in my thinking was a mighty tall order. But of course, it wasn\u2019t for God.\r\n\r\n[Announcer says] The 2010 $101,000.00 dollar grand prize for best of festival goes to, [can't understand word]. [clapping] God is so good, I\u2019d like to thank Him for just the wonderful wife He gave me, I don\u2019t think any man can even reach a fraction of his potential if he doesn\u2019t have the woman with him that God intended him to have for life and I want to thank her. Kids, I\u2019m giving this to you so you\u2019ll always remember God does answer prayers. Thank you so much.\r\n\r\nThe way we talk about it as a family and what I want to encourage you in closing here is we have to be willing to give God our loaves and fishes; He\u2019s the one that feeds the 5,000. Whatever He is giving you, give it to Him and say God, You do something with this. Whatever it is you are responsible for your circle of influence. You have a different one than I have; you have a different one than your pastor has, but you will give an account of that circle of influence. Use it wisely, give it to God; He can do the miraculous. He can take someone that hates standing in front of people and put them in front of people and hopefully give them something to say to impact people\u2019s lives. He does the miracles but we have to be willing. We have to say God, I give you everything that I have and everything that I am, I ask you to use it to glorify Yourself. And He will do it, I promise you. Thank you so much.
