Tales of the Tribe - PART 12 - The sucker punch Were both Christians and Muslims created as punching bags for clandestine Jewish rule? ... the Flavian emperors invented the character of Jesus to deceive the Jews into worshipping a false messiah. — Joseph Atwill A time is coming to men when he who adheres to his religion will be like one who seizes live coals." — Muhammad, Tirmidhi Hadith 5367 'Turn the other cheek' my ass! When somebody steals something from me, I'm going to do two things. I'm going to get it back, and I'm going to make sure he doesn't steal it again. Thus, in contemplating the poisonous gap between public crimes deceitfully reported by robot journalists as positive steps for freedom — and what is really going on in the world that leaves so many people bleeding and poisoned — you owe it to yourself to examine the major rules you learned as a child which you now follow in your presumably satisfying adult life. 'Turn the other cheek' is probably the main offender, but it is followed closely by 'it's better to give than receive' and shortly thereafter by 'render unto Caesar what is Caesar's!' All of these statements are subliminal cues to be a victim, and to give up what is rightfully yours without a fight, particularly if someone is trying to steal from you. Buddha advised taking nothing on faith. Thomas Jefferson thought God wanted us to use our brains. A new area of thought in my religious history studies brought me to Joseph Atwill's little known classic, "Caesar's Messiah," which describes a political trick of stupendous magnitude. Atwill describes "texts deliberately created to trick Messianic Jews into worshipping the Roman Emperor 'in disguise'." Atwill insists the so-called Christian Gospels are NOT accounts of a historically Jewish Jesus compiled by his followers 60 years after his death. (Notice how he slips in “Jewish Jesus.”) After centuries of Jewish slaughter culminating in the Jewish War in 70 A.D., Roman postwar propaganda sought to eradicate the Jewish threat by creating a literary equivalent to the Torah, according to Atwill. Events in the Bible correlate to events involving Julius Caesar in Gaul. Or as Atwill declaims forthrightly: To replace the Torah, then, the Romans created a literary equivalent, the gospel of Matthew (and shortly thereafter the Hellenistic and Roman versions known as Luke and Mark). http://www.caesarsmessiah.com/summary.html Which brings us to the research of Francisco Carotta, who insists that the Jesus figure venerated by billions over the course of time was really a composite model based on none other than Divine Julius, the much-talked-about Roman emperor who brought an end to the republic phase of the empire’s history. Carotta writes: Julius Caesar, son of Venus and founder of the Roman Empire, was elevated to the status of Imperial God, Divus Julius, after his violent death. The cult that surrounded him dissolved as Christianity surfaced. A cult surrounding Jesus Christ, son of God and originator of Christianity, appeared during the second century. Early historians, however, never mentioned Jesus and even now there is no actual proof of his existence. On the one hand, an actual historical figure missing his cult, on the other, a cult missing its actual historical figure: intriguing mirror images. The question that still dogs us down through the ages is this. Is the research of Atwill and Carotta just more of the same Jewish attempt to subvert the Catholic church and the true Christian faith for the purpose of denigrating and subverting the admirable messages of Jesus that so many people base their lives upon? Or, is it really true that some nefariously clever group of clandestine operatives created this divine mythos to keep us in mental chains and therefore more controllable? Sorry to leave you hanging, but I have to do more research, because I don’t know the answer and I bid you to help me consider the true dimensions of this dilemma. What I am really trying to illuminate is the effect of religious propaganda on people’s lives that really has nothing to do with an actual supreme deity, but more with political control. And for my money, nowhere is this phenomenon demonstrated more clearly than in the description by popular theology whistleblower Charles Carlson on the effect that a man named Cyrus Scofield has had on public Western thought. Carlson writes: The Scofield Reference Bible was not to be just another translation, subverting minor passages a little at a time. No, Scofield produced a revolutionary book that radically changed the context of the King James Version. It was designed to create a subculture around a new worship icon, the modern State of Israel, a state that did not yet exist, but which was already on the drawing boards of the committed, well-funded authors of World Zionism. One of the very few American clerics speaking out about current U.S. atrocities around the world, Carlson explains: “Scofield imitated a chain of past heretics and rapturists, most of whose credibility fizzled over their faulty end times prophesies. His mentor was one John Nelson Darby from Scotland, who was associated with the Plymouth Brethren and who made no less than six evangelical trips to the US selling what is today called "Darbyism." It is from Darby that Scofield is thought to have learned his Christian Zionist theology, which he later planted in the footnotes of the Scofield Reference Bible. The Oxford University Press owned "The Scofield Reference Bible" from the beginning, as indicated by its copyright, and Scofield stated he received handsome royalties from Oxford. Oxford's advertisers and promoters succeeded in making Scofield's bible, with its Christian Zionist footnotes, a standard for interpreting scripture in Judeo-Christian churches, seminaries, and Bible study groups. It has been published in at least four editions since its introduction in 1908 and remains one of the largest selling Bibles ever. And what does this really mean to us today? Carlson reveals a very interesting connection: Among more traditional churches that encourage, and in some cases recommend, the use of the Scofield Reference Bible is the huge Southern Baptist Convention of America, whose capture is World Zionism's crowning achievement. Our report on Southern Baptist Zionism, is titled "The Cause of the Conflict: Fixing Blame. So how do we know what we’re actually seeing? How do we identify this deliberate poisoning through interpolation and subtle footnotes in the supposedly holiest book on the planet? Carlson shows us. Scofield, whose work is largely believed to be the product of Darby and others, wisely chose not to change the text of the King James Edition. Instead, he added hundreds of easy-to-read footnotes at the bottom of about half of the pages, and as the Old English grammar of the KJE becomes increasingly difficult for progressive generations of readers, students become increasingly dependent on the modern language footnotes. Scofield was not a Bible scholar, Carlson writes, but an opportunist, a political animal with the charm and talent. Scofield's background reveals a criminal history, a deserted wife, a wrecked family, and a penchant for self-serving lies, a controllable man capable of carrying the secret to his grave. (See “The Incredible Scofield and His Book” by Joseph M. Canfield). Carlson, who hosts one of the great clearinghouses of literature on Jewish perfidy at the website http://whtt.org concludes: It is no exaggeration to say that the 1967 Oxford 4th Edition deifies — makes a God of — the State of Israel, a state that did not even exist when Scofield wrote the original footnotes in 1908. This writer believes that, had it not been for misguided anti-Arab race hatred promoted by Christian Zionist leaders in America, neither the Gulf War nor the Israeli war against the Palestinians would have occurred, and a million or more people who have perished would be alive today. What makes Carlson say this? Listen just a bit longer. "FOR A NATION TO COMMIT THE SIN OF ANTI-SEMITISM BRINGS INEVITABLE JUDGMENT." (page 19-20, footnote (3) to Genesis 12:3.) (our emphasis added) Put that Scofield bible quote in your pipe and smoke it! This statement sounds like something from Ariel Sharon, or the Chief Rabbi in Tel Aviv, or Theodore Herzl, the founder of Modern Zionism. But these exact words are found between the covers of the 1967 Edition of the Oxford Bible that is followed by millions of American churchgoers and students and is used by their leaders as a source for their preaching and teaching. This essay has been a sucker punch. And chances are extremely high, especially if you’re a Christian evangelical shabbez goi like an Episcopalian or a Pentacostal still pretending to everyone that you have a conscience, then you’ve just been nailed .... right in your soul, in fact. Although judging by your lack of personal integrity about your own beliefs, you may not realize it. You may never. Think for a moment about this dark spiritual hegemony that rules our planet with empty platitudes and endless debauchery. Then remember St. John’s Epistle to the Jews (I’m making this up): “We know you’re scared because of all the vicious lies you’ve told and all the people you have so needless and callously killed. One thing religious people know and are always willing to forgive is simply that you admit your faults and ask forgiveness. That’s all there really is in this life, and knowing that makes all the difference. “All that is required is not hurting anybody else. “Quit f***ing around. Come home. Your family’s waiting for you. Otherwise, you’re going to hurt yourselves in a way that can’t be fixed.
