00:00:26 – 00:00:44:	Welcome to the Stone Choir podcast. I am Corey J. Moeller, and I'm still woe. Today's Stone

00:00:44 – 00:00:51:	Choir is a continuation of last week's episode on the life of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther

00:00:51 – 00:00:58:	King Jr. or Michael King or Mike as we're going to call him. As we discussed last week, Mike was

00:00:58 – 00:01:04:	not a Christian. Every day of his life that he spent dealing with Christian subjects was a day

00:01:04 – 00:01:11:	spent in blaspheming the God of Scripture. So last week we specifically focused on the theological

00:01:11 – 00:01:17:	aspects of his life. This week we're going to be specifically focusing on what he did once he got

00:01:17 – 00:01:23:	into the pulpit. He pretty much immediately left out of the pulpit into political activity,

00:01:23 – 00:01:27:	which was really what his goal was from the beginning. And he pretty much said as much

00:01:27 – 00:01:33:	in his own early writings when he was in seminary. Before we get into the meat of this proper,

00:01:33 – 00:01:38:	I want to give a couple of pre-imples briefly. One, as I said last week, we're not just doing

00:01:38 – 00:01:43:	this to beat up on a guy. It's not because we don't like his politics, although obviously we don't.

00:01:43 – 00:01:50:	The specific reason that this matters is that King is inserted into Christianity today. His

00:01:50 – 00:01:57:	beliefs, his morals, his ethics, his political views are pretty much sanctified by almost every

00:01:57 – 00:02:04:	church today. Your pastors, your leaders in your churches have almost certainly quoted him favorably

00:02:04 – 00:02:11:	on the high holy days of the black religion of this country. You will see his shining face with

00:02:11 – 00:02:16:	some meme on Facebook and Twitter and wherever else your churches use social media, holding him

00:02:16 – 00:02:20:	up as an example of, here's a good Christian man, and here's a good Christian life, and here's what

00:02:20 – 00:02:26:	good Christians sound like. The sainthood that was conferred upon him pretty much by fiat

00:02:27 – 00:02:31:	serves political ends. And so today we're talking about that. And that's kind of the second part

00:02:31 – 00:02:37:	of the preamble I want to give you is that while this is an episode talking about political stuff,

00:02:37 – 00:02:43:	the reason that we're doing it is that fundamentally at some point that dichotomy between

00:02:43 – 00:02:49:	religious and political, between the Christian church life and the Christian civic life

00:02:50 – 00:02:54:	breaks down. There are important distinctions. There are things that the state should do

00:02:54 – 00:02:59:	and that the church should do that should not overlap. And that's what the two kingdoms doctrine

00:02:59 – 00:03:06:	is about. It's not about Christians being stuck in one sphere or the other. It's about the Christian

00:03:06 – 00:03:13:	organizations that exist for the blessings of all Christians and all men by God are structured in

00:03:13 – 00:03:17:	such a way that when the state does something, the church shouldn't be doing it and vice versa.

00:03:18 – 00:03:24:	So the reason for talking about these political things today is that fundamentally calling them

00:03:24 – 00:03:31:	political is really giving short shrift to what's actually happening. Because again, when this man

00:03:31 – 00:03:37:	who were told was a pastor, he was a preacher, he was a good, peaceful, nonviolent man,

00:03:37 – 00:03:44:	he had a lot of good teachings, he had a lot of good civics lessons. And if you disagree with those,

00:03:44 – 00:03:50:	you are religiously condemned. You are damned as an unbeliever and a hater and all these other

00:03:50 – 00:03:55:	defamatory things that are said about men who will dare to question the civic religion,

00:03:55 – 00:04:02:	which today is indistinguishable from his religion. So that's why we're talking about this. It's

00:04:02 – 00:04:08:	not going to be an episode we're talking about political events. But the important distinction

00:04:08 – 00:04:15:	is that fundamentally, if you let Satan just chip away and chip away at the entire civic life

00:04:15 – 00:04:20:	until you're just limited to a couple hours on Sunday, you can't be a Christian anymore.

00:04:20 – 00:04:24:	And that's really what's been accomplished by so many of these teachings.

00:04:25 – 00:04:31:	So to begin, as I said, last week we talked about his childhood, his college days, his

00:04:31 – 00:04:35:	seminary days, a little bit about his PhD days, and very briefly when he was in the pulpit,

00:04:35 – 00:04:42:	we kind of ended there. And he lived another about 14, 15 years. So today we're mostly going to be

00:04:42 – 00:04:49:	talking about those years after he got his PhD. We're going to be talking a lot today about

00:04:49 – 00:04:54:	communists and about Jews and about communist Jews and about Jewish communists that will be

00:04:54 – 00:05:00:	recurring theme throughout this, which again, sounds political. I want to preface what we

00:05:00 – 00:05:06:	say in the rest of this episode with a brief excerpt from an article from the Atlantic from 2017.

00:05:07 – 00:05:10:	This is an article that was talking about the history of the Soviet Union

00:05:11 – 00:05:16:	as it viewed race relations in the United States, because I think this is a part of history that

00:05:16 – 00:05:21:	most people don't know about. And it's critical because as we're talking about civil rights and

00:05:21 – 00:05:29:	MLK in the South in the 50s and 60s, and then we are also talking about communists, if all you know

00:05:29 – 00:05:33:	about communists is from, oh, it's McCarthy and it's Hoover and they were just name calling and

00:05:33 – 00:05:37:	they were being mean, then you're not going to be able to put two and two together. And so I'm

00:05:37 – 00:05:41:	going to begin with this quote from the Atlantic specifically because it makes perfect sense in

00:05:41 – 00:05:46:	light of what the Atlantic is saying, like, not our guys. They're not by any stretch friendly to

00:05:46 – 00:05:50:	anything that we have to say. And yet they're telling the truth here about this because frankly,

00:05:50 – 00:05:56:	they're kind of proud. The Atlantic writes, playing on racial tensions inside the United

00:05:56 – 00:06:03:	States was a Soviet tactic. In fact, it predates even the Cold War. In 1932, for instance, to me to

00:06:03 – 00:06:09:	read more, the Soviet Union's most famous propaganda poster artist created a poster that

00:06:09 – 00:06:14:	cried, freedom for the prisoners of Scotsboro. It was a reference to the Scotsboro boys and

00:06:14 – 00:06:19:	nine black teenagers who were accused of raping two white women in Alabama, and then repeatedly

00:06:19 – 00:06:24:	convicted by all white Southern juries. The case became a symbol of the Jim Crow South,

00:06:24 – 00:06:28:	and the young Soviet state milked it for all the propagandistic value it could.

00:06:29 – 00:06:35:	It was part of a plan put in place in 1928 by the common turn, the communist international,

00:06:35 – 00:06:39:	whose mission was to spread the communist revolution around the world. The plan initially

00:06:39 – 00:06:44:	called for recruiting Southern blacks and pushing for self determination in the black belt.

00:06:44 – 00:06:49:	By 1930, the common turn had escalated the aims of its covert mission and decided to work towards

00:06:49 – 00:06:55:	establishing a separate black state in the south, which would provide it with a beachhead for spreading

00:06:55 – 00:07:01:	the revolution to North America. So as we're talking about communists today, and we're talking

00:07:01 – 00:07:07:	about civilization's political, you need to keep in mind that as early as 1928, just 10 years after

00:07:07 – 00:07:13:	the Jewish communist revolution in the Soviet Union, where they murdered the Russian rulers

00:07:13 – 00:07:19:	and replaced them with their own people, within 10 years they had correctly identified that using

00:07:19 – 00:07:26:	racial divisions in the United States was going to be a key fracture point to a, advance the goal of

00:07:26 – 00:07:33:	spreading communism in the United States and be diminishing the United States political power.

00:07:33 – 00:07:40:	And so all the things we're going to say today, just keep in mind that 20, 30 years later,

00:07:40 – 00:07:45:	the Soviet Union, when they were deciding how to destroy America, they decided, let's use blacks

00:07:45 – 00:07:50:	in the south to spread communism. So when we say later on, there are communists in the south

00:07:50 – 00:07:55:	using blacks against the United States government, that's not just us name calling, that's literally

00:07:55 – 00:08:00:	what the plan was. And so if you can put those two and two together, it gets a little bit easier to

00:08:01 – 00:08:05:	take what we're saying at face value. And like, you don't need to believe any of this,

00:08:05 – 00:08:10:	you can go research for yourself. These are all just historical facts. So just keep in mind,

00:08:10 – 00:08:15:	we're talking about communists in the south, they had already decided in 1928 that this was

00:08:15 – 00:08:21:	the plan they wanted to enact. And so we'll start with a little bit of context, just to

00:08:21 – 00:08:27:	give you an idea of where it is that we're beginning or picking up this narrative with regard

00:08:27 – 00:08:35:	to MLK. And that is in 1954, in September of that year, he became pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist

00:08:35 – 00:08:41:	Church in Montgomery, Alabama. And the city is relevant here. As mentioned, he didn't really

00:08:41 – 00:08:49:	spend over much time as an actual pastor, he was really more interested in the civil rights movement.

00:08:49 – 00:08:55:	And so in 1955, in December, of course, that is when we have the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

00:08:56 – 00:09:01:	That was coordinated and organized by the organization called the Montgomery Improvement

00:09:01 – 00:09:09:	Association, which was organized and basically began its life on December 5th,

00:09:09 – 00:09:15:	and MLK was made the head of it the same day. That is the day that they were going to originally

00:09:15 – 00:09:21:	have the Bus Boycott. It was meant to be one day. It wound up being over a year.

00:09:22 – 00:09:27:	And there's a lot that follows on from that, we'll get into more of those facts shortly.

00:09:27 – 00:09:32:	But it's worth noting that this didn't actually begin with the Montgomery Improvement Association.

00:09:32 – 00:09:39:	It began years earlier with an organization called the Women's Political Council that was founded by

00:09:39 – 00:09:45:	Mary Fair Birx, who was head of the English department actually in Alabama State. She

00:09:46 – 00:09:52:	resigned. There's some questions about whether or not it was really a resignation or a forced

00:09:52 – 00:10:00:	resignation. Resignations often are not voluntary. And she did that because she was an activist and

00:10:00 – 00:10:04:	she was involved with a number of other activists at the school who had been dismissed specifically

00:10:04 – 00:10:11:	because of their, in this case, yes, Marxist activism. But of course, when you think of the

00:10:11 – 00:10:16:	Bus Boycott, there's a name that is going to come to mind immediately, and that's going to be Rosa

00:10:16 – 00:10:23:	Parks. And the reason Rosa Parks comes to mind is because in your history books, most likely you

00:10:23 – 00:10:28:	were taught that Rosa Parks was the one that sparked this. To some degree, that's true. To some

00:10:28 – 00:10:34:	degree, it's not. Because there had been a number of blacks who had been arrested over the years

00:10:34 – 00:10:41:	for violating the laws in place with regard to public transportation. However, those who wanted

00:10:41 – 00:10:47:	to push for the boycott wanted to pick the perfect plaintiff. This is plaintiff shopping. This is

00:10:47 – 00:10:53:	something that attorneys do. It's not always permissible how it's done, but it's not always

00:10:53 – 00:11:01:	impermissible. But at any rate, it points out that this Bus Boycott was very much a planned

00:11:01 – 00:11:06:	matter. This was not a spur of the moment. This was not, you know, Rosa Parks was tired. I've heard

00:11:06 – 00:11:12:	people say that over the years. And she flatly refutes that in her memoirs, incidentally. But

00:11:12 – 00:11:18:	to go back to the actual Bus Boycott here and the facts of what happened, the driver in this case

00:11:18 – 00:11:26:	was James Blake. And actually, Rosa Parks and James Blake had interacted earlier along the same lines

00:11:26 – 00:11:32:	because 12 years earlier, she had refused to sit in the back of the bus and had been confronted by

00:11:32 – 00:11:37:	James Blake, this same driver. At that point, she got off the bus. She was not removed from the bus.

00:11:37 – 00:11:44:	She got off of her own accord. So this is 12 years later. And this is when the Bus Boycott and really

00:11:44 – 00:11:51:	MLK's real activism begins. I think the important thing to note is we're going along and mentioning

00:11:51 – 00:11:56:	all these disparate little seemingly friendly sounding organizations like the Women's Political

00:11:56 – 00:12:01:	Council, the Montgomery Improvement Association. How could you possibly object to anything that a

00:12:01 – 00:12:08:	group like that would ever do? Once you observe and learn how the left works, you'll find that

00:12:09 – 00:12:16:	this is exactly how it works. They will set up an entire brand new organization created from

00:12:16 – 00:12:22:	whole cloth with a set goal in mind that will not be the goal that is the stated goal of the

00:12:22 – 00:12:27:	organization, the Montgomery Improvement Association. That sounds like the nicest thing in the world who

00:12:27 – 00:12:33:	wouldn't want Montgomery to improve. However, when you start unraveling who is behind it, who is

00:12:33 – 00:12:38:	financing it, who is organizing it, what were their plans going in? And then what would they do as

00:12:38 – 00:12:44:	soon as they hit the ground? It becomes very clear that their intentions went far beyond improving

00:12:44 – 00:12:50:	Montgomery. And so we're going to mention a bunch of different groups like this, just little

00:12:50 – 00:12:55:	organizations. It's happening today in our own church in Missouri, Cindy of Lutherans for Racial

00:12:55 – 00:13:01:	Justice. They appeared fully formed within a few weeks of George Floyd's suicide. And everyone's

00:13:01 – 00:13:06:	saying, well, they're Lutherans and they want racial justice. Well, that sounds, if you know a

00:13:06 – 00:13:11:	little bit, you think that's probably bad news because only bad people talk about racial justice,

00:13:11 – 00:13:18:	incidentally, starting in the 50s with these people. But if you're not really paying attention

00:13:18 – 00:13:24:	and you just see a new group pop up, you think, oh my, there's a ground swell. It's not astroturfed.

00:13:24 – 00:13:31:	It's a natural upwelling of the people in pursuit of some particular goal. And so all these seemingly

00:13:31 – 00:13:37:	disconnected organizations with completely innocuous names, they're all effectively fronts.

00:13:37 – 00:13:44:	And when you call something a front, sometimes there's a very deliberate specific road map

00:13:44 – 00:13:50:	behind it. And sometimes it's spontaneous. For example, the Antifa blog that was set up to

00:13:50 – 00:13:55:	Doc's Corey and me, spring into existence for the sole purpose of assassinating our character.

00:13:55 – 00:14:00:	That's the only reason it exists. The people existed before, but the new brand that they

00:14:00 – 00:14:05:	created was created for that specific purpose. So they spring up, they do it. And then later on,

00:14:05 – 00:14:10:	they'll just walk away from it because there's no investment in the organization. So a lot of these

00:14:10 – 00:14:14:	groups, like the Women's Political Council, I don't know if it's still around, it's probably not.

00:14:14 – 00:14:18:	And it wasn't just that time passed. It was that in that moment, it had served its purpose.

00:14:19 – 00:14:25:	So when you hear these names, keep in mind that if you were doing this stuff because you're an

00:14:25 – 00:14:29:	honest person, you're a Christian, you would stick to your principles and you would apply them to

00:14:29 – 00:14:34:	whatever you're doing. You cannot give that benefit of the doubt to these organizations.

00:14:34 – 00:14:39:	When they're playing these shell games with organizations, they'll let them mask funding

00:14:39 – 00:14:44:	and mask organizers. The reason for that is that it seems spontaneous when it's actually all coordinated.

00:14:45 – 00:14:49:	And the names are always a dead giveaway for anyone who's familiar with how the left works.

00:14:50 – 00:14:55:	They always sound like this. Hence why, of course, you have the People's Republic of China.

00:14:56 – 00:15:00:	They name them in ways that, like you said, sound positive. It sounds like something you

00:15:00 – 00:15:03:	couldn't possibly oppose, but then you look into what they're actually doing.

00:15:04 – 00:15:08:	And so to continue with that particular theme,

00:15:09 – 00:15:15:	the husband of Rosa Parks was Raymond, and he was a member of the NAACP, which, of course,

00:15:15 – 00:15:20:	is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Apparently, they're still

00:15:20 – 00:15:27:	allowed to use that term. She did not initially join the NAACP because her husband expressed

00:15:27 – 00:15:33:	some reservations or concerns about her safety, whether or not those were genuine, one could debate,

00:15:33 – 00:15:39:	but she did eventually join the NAACP in 1943. So she's already an activist more than a decade

00:15:39 – 00:15:46:	before this happens. And she also had a history of violating the various laws in the South

00:15:46 – 00:15:51:	related to segregation. So this was not the first instance of her just being tired and refusing

00:15:51 – 00:15:58:	to give up her seat. That narrative is totally false. Beyond that, she was actually specifically

00:15:58 – 00:16:07:	trained by communists as a political activist, as an agitator. And she was trained at what was

00:16:07 – 00:16:14:	then called the Highlander Folk School. And that was in August of 1955, just shortly before

00:16:14 – 00:16:19:	this bus boycott, which started in December. Incidentally, I looked it up and surprisingly,

00:16:19 – 00:16:25:	this school still exists. It's only a half hour from where I live, which is interesting. It's

00:16:25 – 00:16:31:	now called the Highlander Research and Education Center, still a socialist, far left communist

00:16:32 – 00:16:38:	think tank, as it were, training agitators and advocating for the sort of policies you would

00:16:38 – 00:16:46:	expect. There are some notable people involved in this school. A couple of them would be Miles

00:16:46 – 00:16:54:	Horton and his wife, Zilfia. The reason she is interesting here is that she is the one who adapted

00:16:54 – 00:17:00:	a Christian hymn to create the song We Shall Overcome, which of course became the sort of anthem

00:17:00 – 00:17:05:	of the Civil Rights Movement. There are a lot of individuals who wind up connected to this

00:17:06 – 00:17:13:	school, as it is called. Now, Rosa Parks never officially became a member of the Communist

00:17:13 – 00:17:18:	Party. And you will see that in some of the individuals as we go through this history,

00:17:18 – 00:17:23:	some of them become members, some of them don't become members. Her husband was a member,

00:17:23 – 00:17:29:	and she attended meetings. So whether or not she was officially a member of the Communist Party

00:17:29 – 00:17:35:	hardly matters. It may have been her husband who introduced her to the Communist Party. It may

00:17:35 – 00:17:43:	have been another that's not particularly clear. But what is clear is that most likely her husband

00:17:43 – 00:17:51:	became involved with the Communist Party in the 1930s, when the NAACP was raising funds to appeal

00:17:51 – 00:17:57:	the convictions in the case that was mentioned in the opening, the Scottsboro Boys, which was a

00:17:57 – 00:18:05:	gang rape case involving a group of blacks and two white women. The Communist Party agitated,

00:18:06 – 00:18:11:	along with the NAACP, to get the convictions overturned and helped the Communist Party

00:18:11 – 00:18:18:	help raise funds. This was largely organized by the group called International Red Aid.

00:18:18 – 00:18:27:	Now, what the International Red Aid is, they deliberately use the name as really sort of a pun,

00:18:28 – 00:18:35:	because they called themselves a version of the Red Cross, but for political prisoners and political

00:18:35 – 00:18:40:	activists. And of course, red is also associated with communists. We have the colors reversed in

00:18:40 – 00:18:49:	the US. That is because a newspaper man decided that he didn't want to associate the left with

00:18:49 – 00:18:55:	communism in the US, so the colors got switched and it's stuck. It's dumb, but that's just the way

00:18:55 – 00:19:00:	it is in the US. Typically, conservatives are actually blue in most of the world. But at any

00:19:00 – 00:19:06:	rate, the International Red Aid was one of the revolutionary organs of international communism.

00:19:06 – 00:19:11:	It was in fact started by the Communist International in 1922.

00:19:13 – 00:19:19:	But to get back to Parks, we pointed out in the opening that many of these individuals have

00:19:19 – 00:19:27:	basically become a sort of saint in a new religion. And toward that point, Parks is commemorated in

00:19:27 – 00:19:33:	five states, at least there may be more now, but she is commemorated in California, Michigan,

00:19:33 – 00:19:40:	Ohio, Oregon, and Texas. So whatever you may think of Texas as being a conservative state,

00:19:41 – 00:19:47:	perhaps reconsider that on some counts. As for Parks in her later life, she became

00:19:48 – 00:19:53:	even more of an activist. She got involved in the Black Power movement. She advocated for murderers

00:19:53 – 00:19:58:	and rapists, arsonists, and various other criminals through her various organizations,

00:19:58 – 00:20:04:	with which she involved herself. Or in some cases started, she founded the Detroit chapter of the

00:20:04 – 00:20:11:	Joanne Little Defense Committee, which that organization is notable. You may even recognize

00:20:11 – 00:20:18:	this name. They defended Angela Davis, who is an open Marxist and a professor at UC Santa Cruz.

00:20:18 – 00:20:25:	They defended her, I believe that was on a murder charge. To expand on Angela Davis for those who

00:20:25 – 00:20:30:	are mercifully here to for not familiar with her. She lived in the USSR,

00:20:31 – 00:20:37:	longtime member of the Communist Party, deeply involved in far left agitation, communist politics,

00:20:38 – 00:20:43:	and she has been frequently accused, perhaps reasonably, of engaging in calls for political

00:20:43 – 00:20:50:	violence. These are the sorts of individuals who are involved from the very beginning of this.

00:20:51 – 00:20:55:	Well, most people, when you hear the name Rosa Parks, you think of the the hagiography.

00:20:56 – 00:21:01:	Poor old woman, tired feet, made to sit in the back of the bus, she objected because why shouldn't

00:21:01 – 00:21:07:	she be allowed to. And then maybe a few new later on in her life that she was politically motivated to

00:21:07 – 00:21:12:	be an activist. Well, of course, suddenly she realized how bad racism was and she wanted to vote

00:21:12 – 00:21:17:	her life to fighting it. That's an easy story to buy if you don't pay any attention. And that's

00:21:17 – 00:21:24:	what they're counting on. They're counting on all of us being stupid and not having any interest in

00:21:24 – 00:21:30:	figuring out where any of this stuff came from. Fundamentally, this is a genealogy of ideas episode.

00:21:30 – 00:21:36:	What is the genealogy of these people and their ideas and their supporters and the organizations

00:21:36 – 00:21:43:	that they were in? Because the actual Rosa Parks, as Corey's just laid out, was effectively a

00:21:43 – 00:21:47:	communist agitator. And it doesn't matter whether or not she was a communist party member,

00:21:47 – 00:21:53:	because as I mentioned, the intro has popped up again here with the the Scottsboro Boys.

00:21:54 – 00:22:00:	This was the playbook. This was literally the Soviet Union's communist playbook. They wrote it

00:22:00 – 00:22:06:	down in the 20s and 30s. And then in the 40s and 50s, they did it. So there's a direct line

00:22:06 – 00:22:12:	between the political goals of communism to overthrow the United States and all these

00:22:12 – 00:22:17:	nice old black people in the South having sore feet and just wanting to be left alone.

00:22:17 – 00:22:22:	And if you don't pay any attention, you don't see the connection between the two. And when

00:22:22 – 00:22:26:	someone tells you there's a connection, typically all you're going to hear is people shouting and

00:22:26 – 00:22:32:	say, you're racist or whatever. They want to cancel you because if you're not canceled and people

00:22:32 – 00:22:37:	hear you're out, they're like, oh, wow, you can go read for yourself. Like I said, the Atlantic

00:22:37 – 00:22:42:	article on many articles, when they describe these things today looking backward, they don't hide

00:22:42 – 00:22:46:	these connections because there's no longer any concern to be ashamed. And the reason for that

00:22:46 – 00:22:52:	is that communism, A, we think is dead, because we don't fundamentally understand what it is,

00:22:52 – 00:22:56:	we'll be doing a future episode specifically on that. So we're, we're kind of jumping in the middle

00:22:56 – 00:23:01:	of, you know, the 50s and 60s. I think we'll probably have to do an episode on the civil

00:23:01 – 00:23:06:	rights movement at large, because there's much more to it than just these people, particularly MLK,

00:23:07 – 00:23:11:	and then we'll have to deal with communism both forward and backward in time, because again,

00:23:11 – 00:23:18:	it's, it's theology. You know, the communist values, the Soviet Union was an atheist state.

00:23:18 – 00:23:23:	One of the very first things they did was A, ban antisemitism, which incidentally they just invented

00:23:23 – 00:23:28:	and you'd be put to death for antisemitism in the USSR. And B, Christianity was made illegal,

00:23:28 – 00:23:34:	almost simultaneously. And you would be executed for being a Christian. They tortured and murdered

00:23:34 – 00:23:37:	tens of millions of Christians. They starved them to death. They put them in gulags.

00:23:38 – 00:23:43:	They were systematically exterminating Christians. That was communism. And it's

00:23:43 – 00:23:49:	still communism. It happens everywhere the communism spreads up. And when we hear the

00:23:49 – 00:23:54:	term, we think, oh, well, that's just political. And some people even today in our own churches

00:23:54 – 00:24:00:	try to sanctify some of that. I mean, there's a pastor in the LCMS who literally says with pride,

00:24:00 – 00:24:04:	my Marxist, when he's talking about one of the laymen in his own congregation,

00:24:05 – 00:24:10:	that should not be the case in any Christian church. And so it's important to tackle

00:24:11 – 00:24:18:	where the theology ends, if it does, and where the politics begins. And frankly, I don't think

00:24:18 – 00:24:23:	the theology ever ends, which is not the same as saying we want a theocracy. I think it's important

00:24:23 – 00:24:29:	as we tackle these things to make clear, we're not saying theocratic rule is the alternative

00:24:29 – 00:24:34:	to this. We're simply saying that Christians can be Christian in all spheres of their life.

00:24:34 – 00:24:39:	And if they're doing that, it doesn't look like the life of Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King, Jr.

00:24:41 – 00:24:47:	Before we return to the aftermath, what happens because of that boycott, there is another individual

00:24:48 – 00:24:52:	who needs to be mentioned here, because he is one of the founders of the Montgomery Improvement

00:24:52 – 00:24:59:	Association, and that is E.D. Nixon. His father was a Baptist minister. It's worth noting because

00:25:00 – 00:25:05:	as we go through this, you are going to notice there are a lot of ministers, many of them Baptist,

00:25:05 – 00:25:13:	some Methodist, I believe there's one Episcopalian at one point. But there are a lot of men who are

00:25:13 – 00:25:20:	masquerading as Christians. Now, the reason they're doing this should be obvious. It's because it

00:25:20 – 00:25:25:	lends a sort of credibility. It lends a sort of prestige that they would otherwise not have.

00:25:27 – 00:25:32:	And we have some of this happening today. There are men who are very much not Christian,

00:25:32 – 00:25:41:	and yet are wearing a collar. And so we have to be careful of wolves who are dressing up as shepherds.

00:25:43 – 00:25:48:	But at any rate, Nixon was one of the ones who was really one of the organizers of the

00:25:48 – 00:25:54:	effort to find a good plaintiff for the lawsuit that would follow on from the Montgomery Bus Boycott,

00:25:54 – 00:26:00:	because of course from the beginning, that was the goal. The goal was to change the law of the land

00:26:00 – 00:26:07:	by creating chaos and forcing a court case. And so there were a number of individuals who were

00:26:07 – 00:26:14:	ignored, who had been arrested for violating the very same sort of laws. One was a 15-year-old

00:26:14 – 00:26:21:	student who was arrested nine months prior to the Rosa Parks incident. This was very much

00:26:21 – 00:26:28:	a planned endeavor. They knew what they were trying to achieve, and they set about doing so ruthlessly.

00:26:31 – 00:26:35:	Now, as mentioned, originally the boycott was meant to last for one day, December 5th,

00:26:35 – 00:26:40:	but it wound up going for more than a year, and it eventuated in the court case called Browder v. Gale.

00:26:41 – 00:26:44:	That was a U.S. District Court case in the Middle District of Alabama,

00:26:45 – 00:26:52:	and this found against the segregation laws of Alabama. So basically, this is one of

00:26:53 – 00:27:00:	the cases that forces integration, particularly in the South. The judge in this case was Frank

00:27:00 – 00:27:07:	Minnis Johnson. He would go on to oversee many desegregation cases, including desegregating

00:27:07 – 00:27:15:	the Alabama school system. The other two justices who were involved here was Seaborn Harris-Lynne,

00:27:15 – 00:27:21:	he notably dissented, although on technical grounds, and Richard Rivas, who is not particularly

00:27:21 – 00:27:27:	relevant in this narrative. What is relevant is that this case was, of course, appealed,

00:27:27 – 00:27:35:	and it was summarily affirmed by SCOTUS, by the Supreme Court, on the 13th of November in 1956,

00:27:36 – 00:27:42:	and the holding of this case is that conditions created by segregation

00:27:44 – 00:27:50:	violate the equal protection under the 14th Amendment. That's the basic holding, and of

00:27:50 – 00:27:57:	course, that's always how we wind up with these segregation cases going. These measures are struck

00:27:57 – 00:28:03:	down because, well, initially, it was found by the Supreme Court, separate but equal,

00:28:03 – 00:28:09:	which is Plessy v. Ferguson. This sort of overrules that, to some degree, but of course,

00:28:09 – 00:28:15:	that was really overruled by Brown v. Board of Education, which was the desegregation of public

00:28:15 – 00:28:21:	schools. That incidentally was a unanimous opinion, which is worth noting. We didn't have dissenting

00:28:21 – 00:28:29:	justices who decided to uphold the law, they all decided to overturn it. And so this is an extension

00:28:29 – 00:28:36:	to some degree of that. But to go into the facts of Brown v. Board of Education a little more,

00:28:37 – 00:28:45:	that was also an NAACP case. In fact, it was five cases that were sponsored by the NAACP

00:28:45 – 00:28:51:	that were combined into one case and then taken before the court. Another noteworthy individual

00:28:51 – 00:28:57:	here would be the Chief Counsel for the NAACP at that time, and that was Thurgood Marshall,

00:28:57 – 00:29:01:	who would later be appointed to the Supreme Court by Lyndon Johnson.

00:29:02 – 00:29:09:	Thurgood Marshall was a far leftist. There are many things we could mention about him,

00:29:09 – 00:29:14:	many anti-Christian stances that he took. One in particular would be that he was a

00:29:14 – 00:29:21:	lifelong staunch opponent of the death penalty. Incidentally, also, one of the justices who

00:29:21 – 00:29:29:	played a key role in undermining obscenity law in the US. And so you will see these Marxist agitators

00:29:29 – 00:29:36:	and those around them constantly working to undermine civil society and the morality of society.

00:29:37 – 00:29:43:	One of the biggest ways in which the courts have done that is the changes to obscenity law over

00:29:43 – 00:29:50:	time. Now we could go through the history of obscenity law with Hicklin and Roth and Miller,

00:29:51 – 00:29:57:	but we're not going to do that because this isn't the point of this podcast. The point here is that

00:29:59 – 00:30:04:	Thurgood Marshall was one of the driving forces behind Stan Levy, Georgia,

00:30:05 – 00:30:10:	which was the case that ruled that the criminalization of obscene materials was unconstitutional.

00:30:12 – 00:30:19:	You may not immediately recognize the problem with that case in which Marshall actually wrote the

00:30:19 – 00:30:27:	opinion. The big reason that that case is a problem is that it was founded upon the grounds of

00:30:27 – 00:30:33:	privacy, a right to privacy. Now, if you are familiar with some other areas of the law,

00:30:33 – 00:30:38:	you may understand the problem here. The right to privacy is also how we got abortion.

00:30:39 – 00:30:43:	That is, incidentally, why we have pornography so widespread as well.

00:30:43 – 00:30:50:	It's all a ratchet. If you give an inch, they take a mile, and they will always work

00:30:50 – 00:30:57:	toward whatever the next evil is. And so, of course, from Stan Levy, Georgia, we have now the

00:30:57 – 00:31:04:	Miller Test, 1973, which basically just permits obscenity. Our obscenity law at this point in

00:31:04 – 00:31:12:	the U.S. is a complete joke. The things that are banned are so egregious that we will never mention

00:31:12 – 00:31:18:	them on this podcast. The personal privacy angle is also how contraception was legalized

00:31:18 – 00:31:24:	nationally. That was another key thing, to abortion, contraception, pornography. They're

00:31:24 – 00:31:29:	all part and parcel. It's all part of the same group of people. And although MLK was not himself

00:31:29 – 00:31:35:	personally an advocate of these things, it was all the people surrounding him in a cloud.

00:31:35 – 00:31:40:	So he didn't have to because he legitimized all of these other moving parts, all advancing

00:31:40 – 00:31:45:	inexorably towards the same sort of goals. Well, he didn't care about pornography. He

00:31:45 – 00:31:55:	was much too busy with prostitutes. Indeed. But as a follow on from the bus boycott, MLK writes

00:31:55 – 00:32:00:	his Strive Toward Freedom book, which was his so-called memoir about this boycott,

00:32:00 – 00:32:05:	and he does this throughout his life. He does something that is agitating, something that

00:32:05 – 00:32:12:	is disruptive, and then writes a book or an article or speech about it. Although it is

00:32:12 – 00:32:17:	not entirely accurate to say he writes because he used ghost writers. That is very obvious. I would

00:32:17 – 00:32:23:	hope the last episode made very obvious that his most famous speeches were written by others.

00:32:25 – 00:32:33:	We saw the sort of things he wrote. But moving forward in time to one of MLK's speeches,

00:32:33 – 00:32:40:	1957, he delivers the Give Us the Ballot speech at the Lincoln Memorial. This is, of course,

00:32:40 – 00:32:46:	highly praised by the NAACP. Not surprising considering they helped organize the event.

00:32:47 – 00:32:54:	The event is attended by a number of prominent individuals. One salient one here is A. Philip

00:32:54 – 00:33:00:	Randolph. And the reason that he is relevant is because he was the founder of the Brotherhood

00:33:00 – 00:33:06:	of Sleeping Car Porters and the Negro American Labor Council, NAACP, which will be relevant later.

00:33:08 – 00:33:11:	He is one of the individuals who pushed for the March on Washington.

00:33:13 – 00:33:22:	He was an open socialist. He explicitly tied in his comments and his speeches in his public

00:33:22 – 00:33:29:	appearances overcoming racism to enacting socialism. And of course, bear in mind that

00:33:29 – 00:33:34:	when we use socialism in this context, we mean the sort of socialism that the communist used

00:33:35 – 00:33:42:	as the pathway to communism. In keeping with the theme of a lot of involvement of supposed

00:33:42 – 00:33:50:	Christians and pastors, Randolph claimed to be a Methodist. He was probably an atheist, though.

00:33:51 – 00:33:56:	He signed a document called the Humanist Manifesto II, the second version of it.

00:33:56 – 00:34:01:	This was signed by a number of prominent individuals. Asimov, Isaac Asimov, for instance,

00:34:01 – 00:34:09:	signed this one. This rejected theism, deism, any argument there is proof of the afterlife,

00:34:10 – 00:34:16:	rejected and opposed racism, proposed an international court, supported contraception,

00:34:16 – 00:34:21:	abortion, divorce, and euthanasia, and supported quite a few other Marxist or leftist causes.

00:34:22 – 00:34:28:	Very clearly not something that a Christian could even contemplate signing. And of course,

00:34:28 – 00:34:33:	the nail in the coffin, he was also a pacifist. Christians cannot be pacifists. Perhaps we'll

00:34:33 – 00:34:41:	go into that in greater depth at some point in the future. Another thing that follows on,

00:34:41 – 00:34:48:	from this Montgomery bus boycott, is the formation of a particularly salient group.

00:34:48 – 00:34:52:	That group is the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

00:34:55 – 00:34:59:	One of their stated goals in establishing this group was to, quote,

00:34:59 – 00:35:07:	redeem the soul of America, unquote. You may find that similar to things that you have heard

00:35:07 – 00:35:14:	from pastors and politicians today. You may think of those who say that racism is America's original

00:35:14 – 00:35:23:	sin. This is an alternative religion to Christianity. Christians don't talk about politics

00:35:23 – 00:35:31:	redeeming the soul of anything. That's not what politics does. And yet, that is supposedly

00:35:32 – 00:35:35:	what this group thought they would do. And you may think, oh, well, they have the name,

00:35:35 – 00:35:40:	the word Christian in their name. Obviously they're, no, their original name before,

00:35:41 – 00:35:47:	well, I believe this one was actually Levison. We'll get to him soon enough. But the original name

00:35:47 – 00:35:53:	before some of MLK's handlers got to it was the Southern Negro Leaders Conference on Transportation

00:35:53 – 00:36:01:	and Nonviolent Integration, which is not only a mouthful, but nonsense and doesn't involve the

00:36:01 – 00:36:08:	word Christian. One of the reasons that this group is relevant is the individuals involved in it.

00:36:09 – 00:36:15:	And so now we'll run through a number of key individuals from this group. We'll start with

00:36:15 – 00:36:23:	perhaps the most relevant, although perhaps this man and the last one we'll mention are probably

00:36:23 – 00:36:31:	the two most relevant from this particular group. The first is Bayard Rustin. Rustin notably was a

00:36:31 – 00:36:38:	communist. More, he was a communist sodomite. He joined the Young Community League, which was a

00:36:38 – 00:36:44:	communist feeder group in 1936. He did leave that one because he became disillusioned with their

00:36:44 – 00:36:52:	effectiveness. And then he became involved with the Communist Party USA. He became disillusioned

00:36:52 – 00:36:56:	with them as well. And the reason that he became disillusioned with them is notable,

00:36:56 – 00:37:00:	because this happened with a number of the so-called civil rights leaders.

00:37:01 – 00:37:10:	When World War II started, international communism, understandably, shifted focus from trying to gin

00:37:10 – 00:37:15:	up racial hatred and division in the U.S. in order to undermine and destabilize the U.S.,

00:37:17 – 00:37:23:	to attempting to get the U.S. to enter World War II. Because, of course, the communists would have

00:37:23 – 00:37:31:	lost World War II, if not for U.S. entry into that war. These individuals became disillusioned

00:37:31 – 00:37:35:	with the Communist Party because they saw the Communist Party as abandoning them,

00:37:35 – 00:37:43:	because they were focusing on the war instead of on these various civil rights issues in the U.S.

00:37:44 – 00:37:50:	And so he joined the Socialist Party instead. This man was also another one of the architects

00:37:50 – 00:37:58:	behind the march on Washington. To give a little more information about this man's life and the

00:37:58 – 00:38:06:	sort of character he was, he was arrested in 1953. He was 40 years old then. He was caught having sex

00:38:06 – 00:38:15:	with two other men in their 20s in a parked car. Later in his life, when he was 70 years old,

00:38:15 – 00:38:19:	he adopted his catamite, and the catamite at that point was 30.

00:38:22 – 00:38:28:	He took a trip to Russia, communist Russia at one point, which is another thing you will see with

00:38:28 – 00:38:35:	many of these. Marxist agitators, even if they don't publicly profess to be Marxist, they will take

00:38:36 – 00:38:42:	questionable trips to various communist states, whether it happens to be Cuba or Russia or China.

00:38:42 – 00:38:49:	They go there, of course, often to get training, partly just as a sort of solidarity with their

00:38:49 – 00:38:56:	fellows in other states. He was also a friend of Norman Potarets. Some of you will recognize that

00:38:56 – 00:39:05:	name. And later in life, he became a Zionist. And I guess is one sort of final point for attacking

00:39:05 – 00:39:11:	another idol that we may eventually get around to. Upon Rustin's death, he was praised by

00:39:12 – 00:39:18:	Ronald Reagan. One of the things that stuck out to me in the story of Rustin is that

00:39:19 – 00:39:25:	he became disillusioned with the communists because they had been using blacks in America

00:39:25 – 00:39:30:	as part of their proxy war against the United States, against Christians in this country.

00:39:31 – 00:39:37:	And as soon as political need shifted, they got dumped like a sack of potatoes because they were

00:39:37 – 00:39:41:	never the point. What I found interesting is that if you remember the Feminism episode we did a

00:39:41 – 00:39:48:	couple months ago, the exact same thing happened with feminism and slavery in the U.S. in the 1800s.

00:39:48 – 00:39:54:	Only at this time, it was the African Americans in the pursuit of emancipation that was the primary

00:39:54 – 00:40:01:	mover and the feminist agitators were piggybacking. And they thought that the revolution was going

00:40:01 – 00:40:05:	to include everyone at the same time, that liberation would be universal, that all blacks

00:40:06 – 00:40:09:	would be freed, all women would be freed, all children would be freed, there would be just

00:40:09 – 00:40:17:	infinite freedom. And as soon as the emancipation movement got enough steam going that it was

00:40:17 – 00:40:25:	clear that there was going to be a concerted effort to end slavery, the women got left behind.

00:40:25 – 00:40:31:	They had been active participants, they had been key in many aspects, and they got dumped like a

00:40:31 – 00:40:37:	sack of potatoes because they weren't politically expedient anymore. It wasn't going to work if they

00:40:37 – 00:40:42:	were on board because they knew they could only tackle one thing at a time. Well, do slavery,

00:40:42 – 00:40:47:	this women stuff just is going to have to wait. And that was really the advent of the open feminist

00:40:47 – 00:40:52:	movement as its own thing. They had to split because it became clear that they were not the

00:40:52 – 00:41:00:	principal reason. And so every time on the left, you see there's some sort of what they call advancement

00:41:00 – 00:41:07:	of these goals, of their stated goals. It's always mercenary. It's always whatever is expedient is

00:41:07 – 00:41:11:	what they're going to do. And if they have to shoot their own people in the back to do it,

00:41:11 – 00:41:18:	they don't care. The communists absolutely dumped the African American allies that they had on this

00:41:18 – 00:41:25:	soil on the floor. They let them go because they had other things to worry about. And yet,

00:41:25 – 00:41:31:	these people never learned the lesson that they're being used as a tool. And I think that's one of the

00:41:31 – 00:41:35:	hard parts about contextualizing when we say that men like Michael King,

00:41:37 – 00:41:43:	he was obviously a dirtbag in his own life. But he wasn't nearly smart enough to be the sort of tool

00:41:43 – 00:41:48:	that if we just said he was the mastermind, no one would believe that. But he was absolutely a tool

00:41:48 – 00:41:53:	in someone else's hands. And that's why it's important that it didn't matter if he was a communist

00:41:53 – 00:41:59:	member, or if he particularly in person wanted pornography or contraception or any of these

00:41:59 – 00:42:05:	other things to be legalized, because he was part of the same march. And he was locked arm in arm

00:42:05 – 00:42:09:	with all these other people pursuing the same goals. And one by one, the goals get achieved.

00:42:09 – 00:42:15:	And the people who are advancing other things, either advance or they get dumped. Because as

00:42:15 – 00:42:21:	long as things are getting worse and worse, the satanic animating force behind all this

00:42:21 – 00:42:26:	is gaining ground. It doesn't care who gets destroyed in the process. So I just found it

00:42:26 – 00:42:32:	interesting that Rustin was personally aggravated and offended that the Soviet Union would not

00:42:32 – 00:42:38:	be worried about black liberation in America when they were trying to fight a global war.

00:42:38 – 00:42:44:	But that's what we're dealing with. You have macro scale geopolitical events that are over

00:42:44 – 00:42:49:	most people's heads and seem very theoretical. And the other hand, you have things like bus boycotts.

00:42:49 – 00:42:55:	And it can sound completely harebrained to try to tie the two together. And when you look at the

00:42:55 – 00:43:00:	moving parts, sometimes they're disconnected. Because like in this case, the Soviets quit

00:43:00 – 00:43:05:	caring for a while, they weren't pushing that stuff, because they needed different things from

00:43:05 – 00:43:10:	different people. But once the war was over, they came back around in the late 40s and 50s. And as

00:43:10 – 00:43:15:	Corey said earlier, Rosa Parks went to one of these schools that they were funding and pushing,

00:43:15 – 00:43:21:	just like Saudi Arabia has their madrasas training people up to overthrow their governments,

00:43:21 – 00:43:25:	different religions, but ultimately serving the same sort of evil ends.

00:43:25 – 00:43:30:	And so there's an ebb and flow to these things. And if someone can't come along and just say,

00:43:30 – 00:43:34:	yes, there was A, and then there's B, and there was C, and there's a straight line,

00:43:34 – 00:43:38:	and there was consistent force applied throughout, no, it comes and goes because

00:43:38 – 00:43:43:	this is all happening in real time. And so as we look back on it, some of the things seem a little

00:43:43 – 00:43:49:	bit disconnected, it's simply because there were bigger things happening that were also moving

00:43:49 – 00:43:53:	different parts around on the board that weren't a part of anything that MLK was doing.

00:43:53 – 00:43:59:	When it comes to the gentleman who was the ultimate handler for MLK, we actually don't know

00:44:00 – 00:44:06:	who that was. We know the group that was really controlling what he was doing. And in fact,

00:44:06 – 00:44:12:	what he was saying, we will get to the intermediate handler, though, the puppet master, as it were.

00:44:12 – 00:44:15:	I see him coming up in my notes here after we get through.

00:44:17 – 00:44:21:	The rest of those who were involved in this particular group, the SCLC.

00:44:23 – 00:44:29:	And so the next individual for this group is Ella Baker. Ella Baker was a Marxist agitator,

00:44:29 – 00:44:36:	but one of the interesting facts about her is that she was close friends for much of her life

00:44:36 – 00:44:44:	with Anne Braden, who was a Jewish communist and open advocate for anti-racism and for many of the

00:44:45 – 00:44:50:	so-called or really modern Marxist causes that we see being pushed today.

00:44:51 – 00:44:59:	And so even back here, decades ago, a number of decades ago, we see the same sort of evil being

00:44:59 – 00:45:06:	pushed that is being pushed today. Jewish communist pushing anti-racism. Just go on Twitter any day

00:45:06 – 00:45:13:	and you will find the same sort of thing. The next individual is Charles Kenzie Steele,

00:45:13 – 00:45:21:	an NAACP activist. Basically, anyone we mention at this point in this episode is probably going

00:45:21 – 00:45:27:	to be connected to the NAACP in some way. That's one of the organizations they all

00:45:27 – 00:45:33:	wind up joining in some fashion. Steele notably was also a Baptist preacher,

00:45:33 – 00:45:40:	you may be noticing a theme. Next individual is Fred Lee Shuttlesworth. He would later help provoke

00:45:40 – 00:45:48:	the Selma riots, which we won't really get into in this episode, but I'll put some stuff in the

00:45:48 – 00:45:54:	show notes for that. But one of the reasons that he is notable is he helped organize what was called

00:45:54 – 00:46:00:	the Freedom Riders. And now what the Freedom Riders did was they would deliberately get on

00:46:01 – 00:46:09:	an interstate bus and take that bus from somewhere where it was legal for an integrated bus to exist

00:46:10 – 00:46:14:	to somewhere where it was not legal. And so in other words, they would deliberately cross state

00:46:14 – 00:46:21:	lines in order to violate the law. Why this is interesting is not so much that they did that

00:46:21 – 00:46:27:	because that's just what you expect from Marxist agitators. The goal is to cause chaos and undermine

00:46:27 – 00:46:35:	rule and order and the law. The interesting part here is that Robert F. Kennedy gave Shuttlesworth

00:46:35 – 00:46:40:	his personal phone number and told him to call in case he needed any legal help with this particular

00:46:40 – 00:46:48:	scheme. And so our own leaders who are tasked with upholding the law are deliberately of course

00:46:48 – 00:46:56:	undermining it. The next individual is Joseph Lowery. He becomes part of the reason for the case

00:46:56 – 00:47:02:	that becomes known as New York Times v. Sullivan. There are a number of other cases below it that

00:47:02 – 00:47:09:	turn into ultimately New York Times v. Sullivan. That is the case that basically permits the media

00:47:10 – 00:47:18:	to slander people. Basically, if you are a public figure, you are going to lose a defamation suit

00:47:19 – 00:47:25:	because the standard is that you have to show actual malice, which is a very high bar.

00:47:26 – 00:47:31:	The general standard for defamation for a private individual is essentially just

00:47:31 – 00:47:37:	false information that is damaging. It's more complicated than that, but this isn't legal advice

00:47:37 – 00:47:44:	or a legal podcast. I'm not going to explain defamation law. The added, as I mentioned,

00:47:45 – 00:47:49:	element, the added requirement for a public figure. And there is such thing as a limited

00:47:49 – 00:47:55:	public figure, notably, so you can be a public figure with regard to this one area or you can

00:47:55 – 00:48:03:	be general. So a politician, general public figure, a sports figure, probably more limited,

00:48:03 – 00:48:07:	someone who becomes infamous for something in particular, limited public figure.

00:48:07 – 00:48:14:	But the added requirement is actual malice. You have to show actual malice on the part

00:48:15 – 00:48:18:	of the publisher. And if you're a public figure, good luck.

00:48:21 – 00:48:27:	Lowry is also an NAACP activist, unsurprising. Later in life, he advocates for homosexual

00:48:27 – 00:48:33:	rights, so-called, and homosexual marriage, so-called. One interesting part about this

00:48:33 – 00:48:40:	individual, and some of you may perhaps remember this, he gave the benediction at the inauguration

00:48:40 – 00:48:47:	of Barack Obama. You may notice a theme. We have a sort of state religion that is being formed here.

00:48:48 – 00:48:55:	And so the last individual for this particular group is Ralph Abernathy, another Baptist pastor.

00:48:58 – 00:49:04:	You may recognize his name if you read the news or have ever seen some certain memes.

00:49:05 – 00:49:11:	He opposed space exploration and he protested NASA a number of times. He's the one who basically said

00:49:11 – 00:49:18:	we shouldn't be spending money on the universe out there, space exploration, when there are poor

00:49:18 – 00:49:23:	people here. And so he was advocating for basically shuttering NASA and dispersing all the money to

00:49:23 – 00:49:33:	poor blacks. However, in addition to that little historical tidbit, one of the reasons he is a

00:49:33 – 00:49:39:	particularly salient individual in this narrative is because he was a close friend with MLK for

00:49:39 – 00:49:48:	many years, and he wrote a memoir that was rather revealing. In fact, he was roundly condemned by

00:49:48 – 00:49:55:	other associates of MLK. He was accused of betraying MLK's trust because he is one of the ones

00:49:56 – 00:50:06:	who wrote about MLK's constant cheating. And also, he confirmed the FBI narrative

00:50:06 – 00:50:12:	that MLK spent his last night on earth cheating with two women and also beating a third woman.

00:50:13 – 00:50:21:	So, this is not just the FBI. This is also one of MLK's closest friends who confirms for us

00:50:21 – 00:50:29:	the sort of nature of the individual who has been turned into a saint in the modern U.S. religion.

00:50:31 – 00:50:37:	But staying in 1957 briefly before we get to the aforementioned puppet master,

00:50:37 – 00:50:46:	and this leads right into him. In 1957, MLK spoke at the American Jewish Congress. Now,

00:50:46 – 00:50:53:	you may wonder why he was speaking at the American Jewish Congress. Incidentally, later on, the AJC

00:50:53 – 00:51:00:	becomes involved in the March on Washington. But the reason that he speaks at the American Jewish

00:51:00 – 00:51:07:	Congress is that earlier in the year, he sent out a telegram asking various organizations for support

00:51:08 – 00:51:13:	and Israel Goldstein, I am not making up that name, that is actually his name,

00:51:13 – 00:51:19:	who was then president of the American Jewish Congress, responded with support and advice

00:51:19 – 00:51:25:	for deliberations regarding the SCLC, which was the organization for which MLK had requested

00:51:25 – 00:51:31:	support at that time, a quote from his speech at the AJC.

00:51:55 – 00:52:12:	Moving forward to 1958, we have another speech by MLK at an AJC conference, this one there,

00:52:12 – 00:52:21:	Biennial Conference. And here is the individual whose name you should truly know. He is at least

00:52:21 – 00:52:27:	the intermediate puppet master for MLK and a number of other so-called civil rights figures.

00:52:28 – 00:52:33:	He acts as a go-between between international communism, particularly in the USSR,

00:52:35 – 00:52:42:	and Marxist agitation, communist agitation in the US, and that man is Stanley Levison.

00:52:43 – 00:52:50:	He was MLK's contact at the AJC. Stanley Levison was a Jewish attorney from New York.

00:52:51 – 00:52:55:	He is one of the individuals, the key individual in fact, who helped raise funds

00:52:55 – 00:53:01:	for the earlier Montgomery Bus Boycott. He is the one who ran the day-to-day operations

00:53:01 – 00:53:10:	of MLK's movement. He was the administrator. The FBI at the time had long known that Levison

00:53:10 – 00:53:17:	was a communist, had known that he funneled money from international communism into groups in the

00:53:17 – 00:53:25:	US to sow chaos. And so he was surveilled. Part of the reason the FBI began surveilling MLK

00:53:26 – 00:53:33:	was MLK's close relationship with Levison. To give you a little bit of an idea of the

00:53:33 – 00:53:38:	sort of man Levison was, he was one of the individuals who helped support the defense

00:53:38 – 00:53:43:	of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. You should know those names. They were two traitors who were

00:53:43 – 00:53:48:	executed to Jewish communists who were executed for stealing nuclear secrets.

00:53:49 – 00:53:53:	To be fair, they would be traitors if they were Americans. But in fact, they were serving

00:53:53 – 00:53:59:	their home country. They were Soviet. The fact that they happened to be here didn't change

00:53:59 – 00:54:04:	anything. So it's, yes, they were murdered. They were executed, wasn't murdered. It was a

00:54:04 – 00:54:12:	just execution for treason. But they were serving their true master. They didn't betray anyone because

00:54:12 – 00:54:16:	they were never here to be a part of America. They were here to help bring it down. And

00:54:16 – 00:54:22:	that's the case throughout much of the history of 20th century espionage, particularly atomic

00:54:22 – 00:54:27:	espionage. Over and over, you will find that wherever there were Jews who had access to this

00:54:27 – 00:54:32:	stuff, not at the highest level, because as we all know, the Manhattan Project was itself almost

00:54:32 – 00:54:39:	entirely a Jewish project. And many of them were, well, they wanted to create the bomb for Europe,

00:54:39 – 00:54:44:	not for Asia, but it just so happened that it needed to be used in Asia because we had already

00:54:44 – 00:54:51:	won the war in Europe by the time they'd finished it. But it's not that every Jew who is a member

00:54:51 – 00:55:00:	at a high level of the military industrial complex acted in a treasonous fashion, but very

00:55:00 – 00:55:06:	frequently when you run down the people who are committing slightly lower levels of espionage,

00:55:06 – 00:55:13:	they're almost invariably genetically linked back to their Jewish family in Russia. That's

00:55:13 – 00:55:19:	over and over again. We see that to this day. Many of the people who were accusers against

00:55:19 – 00:55:23:	Trump from within the military and elsewhere, over and over, it's Russian Jews, Ukrainian Jews.

00:55:25 – 00:55:30:	At some point, the pattern means something. And that's not to say that if it's a Jew, we should

00:55:30 – 00:55:35:	dislike them. It's to say when almost everyone who's doing this sort of thing has the same ethnic

00:55:35 – 00:55:40:	background. At some point, it's worth noticing the pattern. And that's why we're explicitly pointing

00:55:40 – 00:55:47:	this out, to say over and over, whenever a Jew shows up in these stories, it's doing something

00:55:47 – 00:55:55:	that's contrary to the interests of America. And as we get further along into this series of episodes,

00:55:56 – 00:56:00:	I'll tell you folks who are listening, at some point, we may cross the line for something

00:56:00 – 00:56:04:	where you will think, I used to like those stone choir guys, but they've gone too far. I can't

00:56:04 – 00:56:10:	abide by any of this. I'm not going to listen anymore. I would hope that if, in when you reach

00:56:10 – 00:56:16:	that point, that rather than just turning it off mid-episode, you would, at least for another

00:56:16 – 00:56:21:	episode or two, become a hate listener, we have quite a few hate listeners to this podcast who

00:56:21 – 00:56:26:	feverishly tune in every week so they can be just completely outraged at the things that we say.

00:56:27 – 00:56:32:	If we cross one of your red lines when we're dealing with these hot button subjects,

00:56:33 – 00:56:38:	I would just encourage you to consider the fact that we're applying the same level of rigor to

00:56:38 – 00:56:44:	that subject, whatever it is, as we do to every other subject we've ever discussed. So if your

00:56:44 – 00:56:49:	red line is crossed by one of the comments that we make, keep listening and then prove us wrong

00:56:49 – 00:56:54:	in your own mind. You don't need to send us hate mail. We get plenty of that. But if you want to,

00:56:54 – 00:56:58:	fine. I'm not saying you have to answer to us. I'm simply saying, if we say something that you're

00:56:58 – 00:57:04:	like, that is completely unforgivable, go do the research yourself and see if we lied to you.

00:57:04 – 00:57:10:	You might not like the conclusion, but frankly, no one's entitled to his own facts. Things are

00:57:10 – 00:57:15:	either true or false. And so as we give this, the rest of this episode is getting read like the

00:57:15 – 00:57:22:	Tel Aviv phone book. That's not a coincidence. It's what actually happened. And I think at

00:57:22 – 00:57:29:	some point, any honest person has to say, this seems a bit disproportionate. And a lot of the

00:57:29 – 00:57:35:	social conditioning that's emerged since the 50s and 60s, frankly, it's specifically to make sure

00:57:35 – 00:57:40:	that if someone says these things, they do get shut down mentally. There's a mental block.

00:57:40 – 00:57:46:	It's like an emergency fire door that as soon as the alarm goes off, it just drops and people can no

00:57:46 – 00:57:52:	longer interact or communicate or anything. So most don't choir listeners, you're smart enough

00:57:52 – 00:57:56:	to be able to engage with things even if you don't necessarily like them. If you hate something, we

00:57:56 – 00:58:02:	say just for a little while longer, keep engaging with it because I will tell you in all sincerity,

00:58:03 – 00:58:08:	one, we're not lying. And two, if you're willing to engage with the thing that you find upsetting,

00:58:08 – 00:58:14:	you're going to learn something because what we're telling you is factual. You may disregard our

00:58:14 – 00:58:21:	conclusions, but the facts can't be argued. And so we believe that this pattern that is not emergent

00:58:21 – 00:58:25:	at this point, it's inescapable, that it is a significant pattern and that there's something

00:58:25 – 00:58:30:	to it. And we'll be doing future episodes, we specifically talk about how that pattern emerged

00:58:30 – 00:58:36:	and why it matters for Christians and for a Christian nation. If a certain ethnic group is

00:58:36 – 00:58:42:	continuously stealing secrets like atomic secrets, maybe that ethnic group shouldn't have access to

00:58:42 – 00:58:48:	atomic secrets. That's a perfectly reasonable question to ask. If every time you executed

00:58:48 – 00:58:52:	someone for treason, it was an Irishman, at some point you'd ask, what's going on with these Irish?

00:58:53 – 00:58:59:	There's no one who gets a special out in the narrative of the 20th century has provided

00:58:59 – 00:59:05:	a special out for a certain group. And so that doesn't scare us. We're willing to tackle these

00:59:05 – 00:59:10:	things. So this is another blasphemy episode. We're going to blaspheme some things that people

00:59:10 – 00:59:17:	don't like. It's not to be scandalous or shocking. These are facts. Stanley Levison was a communist.

00:59:17 – 00:59:25:	Stanley Levison ran Martin Luther King for a decade, ran him like a puppet. And that's not

00:59:25 – 00:59:30:	just us saying it. It's his own biographers and others widely hold that view. They'll phrase it

00:59:30 – 00:59:35:	differently, but you know, credit Scott King and all of his other family mothers after he was killed,

00:59:36 – 00:59:42:	they credited Levison for the trajectory of his career. So when we credit Levison for the trajectory

00:59:42 – 00:59:47:	of his career, we're in agreement with everyone who was there on the ground as it happened.

00:59:48 – 00:59:53:	When it comes to the theft of nuclear secrets, there's basically one exception to the Jewish rule.

00:59:53 – 00:59:57:	And for anyone who is familiar with political science, the name should immediately come to mind,

59:57 – 01:00:05
A.Q. Kahn, who is the... Well, it depends on how you define your terms, either Indian or Pakistani,

01:00:05 – 01:00:11:	because he was from an Indian family, but emigrated to Pakistan because he was Muslim. But at any

01:00:11 – 01:00:17:	rate, he is the one responsible for stealing nuclear secrets largely from Europe and then

01:00:17 – 01:00:25:	proliferating them basically all over the world. He is the reason we have such an immense problem

01:00:26 – 01:00:32:	with nuclear arms in certain parts of the world. We have a problem with nuclear arms in...

01:00:33 – 01:00:38:	Basically, there were a number of stages. You had the US first, then the USSR and a couple others,

01:00:38 – 01:00:41:	then you had India, Pakistan, North Korea, et cetera.

01:00:44 – 01:00:49:	The second one, that second wave of expansion is due to Jewish infiltration and theft of nuclear

01:00:49 – 01:00:57:	secrets. The third one is largely due to A.Q. Kahn. But the second point that I wanted to make here

01:00:57 – 01:01:02:	is another tangential point. I did promise I would say something nice about the Irish,

01:01:03 – 01:01:10:	other than they make good beer. One of the organizations that is salient throughout all of

01:01:10 – 01:01:19:	this is the AFL-CIO. Unions in particular play an outsized role when it comes to civil rights

01:01:19 – 01:01:24:	and socialism and communism in large part because they were infiltrated, because they were seen as a

01:01:24 – 01:01:30:	very good way by Marxist agitators to spread their propaganda. It was very effective.

01:01:31 – 01:01:38:	The AFL-CIO was founded essentially by two men in 1955. The first one is William Meany,

01:01:38 – 01:01:44:	who was an Irishman and a staunch anti-communist. So he deserves praise for that. The second one,

01:01:45 – 01:01:51:	and here I will say something not nice about a German, Volta Reuter was the German co-founder

01:01:51 – 01:02:03:	of the AFL-CIO and he was a communist. But to return to Levison, and we left off with the

01:02:03 – 01:02:08:	defensive Julius and Ethel Rosenberg of course, which is why we were talking about nuclear secrets.

01:02:08 – 01:02:14:	So per the FBI, Levison was one of the chief conduits for funneling money from the USSR

01:02:14 – 01:02:20:	into various organizations in the US, including the Communist Party USA and also including

01:02:21 – 01:02:27:	MLK. He gave MLK some untold amount of money. There was one point where he just gave him $10,000.

01:02:29 – 01:02:35:	Today that would probably be in the 90s, so $90,000. I don't know exactly how much I'd have to

01:02:35 – 01:02:44:	look up the math on that, but a non-trivial sum. Levison was also one of the ghost writers for

01:02:44 – 01:02:51:	MLK's books and speeches. He did not necessarily write all of them, but he wrote large parts of a

01:02:51 – 01:03:02:	number of them. And here in particular is a very salient fact. Levison worked for MLK for this

01:03:02 – 01:03:09:	entire time with zero compensation. That should make you think about what he was attempting to do

01:03:09 – 01:03:17:	and who was pulling his strings. Now Levison of course was connected to

01:03:17 – 01:03:24:	other communists who were also tied to MLK. I mentioned several of them here, two key ones.

01:03:24 – 01:03:31:	Hunter Pitz O'Dell is the first. He was a member of the Communist Party USA and the SCLC. O'Dell

01:03:31 – 01:03:37:	helped with the Birmingham campaign, which was basically a campaign to just bring Birmingham

01:03:37 – 01:03:43:	to its knees to cause chaos and to set up additional court cases and media coverage

01:03:43 – 01:03:49:	and sympathy and fundraising, etc., the sorts of things that you expect from communist agitation.

01:03:52 – 01:04:00:	Now with regard to both Levison and O'Dell, MLK was repeatedly told by high-ranking government

01:04:00 – 01:04:05:	officials, including the aforementioned Kennedy, that he needed to sever ties with these men

01:04:05 – 01:04:13:	because they were open communists. They were known communist agitators. MLK of course disregarded

01:04:13 – 01:04:19:	that. So even if he didn't personally find out some way, he knew because he was told multiple

01:04:19 – 01:04:27:	times this was the case. I think I read that in 62 or 63 that I think Levison himself

01:04:28 – 01:04:34:	publicly stepped back from his interface with MLK specifically because of the wire tapping

01:04:34 – 01:04:40:	and the other pressure, but he continued his lifelong relationship with him in private. So

01:04:40 – 01:04:44:	the influence didn't change. He just ceased to be public about it. That's something that was in his

01:04:44 – 01:04:52:	own words. Yes, exactly. That is exactly what he did because he wanted to attenuate that connection

01:04:52 – 01:04:58:	to some degree so that MLK would continue to be this shining example of non-violence or whatever

01:04:59 – 01:05:06:	and not have this connection to a known communist who was funneling money from the USSR into the

01:05:06 – 01:05:14:	US to seed chaos. But the second individual here is Clarence Benjamin Jones. He was part of the

01:05:14 – 01:05:19:	defense team that argued New York Times v. Sullivan. He was also general counsel for a group called

01:05:19 – 01:05:29:	the Gandhi Society for Human Rights. This society is noteworthy for a number of reasons, mostly

01:05:29 – 01:05:34:	because of the individuals who were involved. You may see a theme with that as well. It was founded

01:05:34 – 01:05:41:	by Theodore Keel, who was a Jewish attorney from New York. The other man, Jones, who just mentioned

01:05:41 – 01:05:48:	him and Harry Vokdal, who was another Jewish attorney from New York and member of the Communist

01:05:48 – 01:05:56:	Party. Other members of the Gandhi Society included Mordecai Johnson, who was the Black

01:05:56 – 01:06:02:	President Emeritus of Howard University. Although when I say Black, I do encourage you if you are

01:06:02 – 01:06:07:	listening to look up pictures of this gentleman. Just go ahead and do that. You can pause the

01:06:07 – 01:06:13:	episode if you need to. William Moses Kunstler. I think you can probably guess this gentleman

01:06:13 – 01:06:18:	was Jewish. He was also an attorney, also an open communist, and incidentally,

01:06:18 – 01:06:23:	also from New York. Additionally, he was special counsel to the ACLU at the time.

01:06:24 – 01:06:30:	And the last individual, Benjamin Mays, president of Morehouse College. You may remember Morehouse

01:06:30 – 01:06:38:	College from the last episode. A sort of aside here, but salient in the narrative and

01:06:39 – 01:06:44:	there's a comment worth making on it. In 1959, MLK travels to India for a month.

01:06:47 – 01:06:53:	Somewhat salient. We just mentioned a Gandhi Society, but also salient because MLK didn't

01:06:53 – 01:06:59:	really act as a pastor. Despite being pastor of a church, he spent his time being a political

01:06:59 – 01:07:05:	activist and then traveling to India for a month. And this made his congregation somewhat unhappy

01:07:05 – 01:07:13:	with him, understandably. In 1959, when he got back from India, there was enough pressure from

01:07:13 – 01:07:18:	his congregation from some members of it that he actually resigned his pastorate,

01:07:18 – 01:07:24:	which is interesting because we're talking about 59. Now, he'd been in the pulpit since 48,

01:07:24 – 01:07:29:	but he didn't graduate. He didn't get his PhD till 54. And so effectively, he was only

01:07:30 – 01:07:36:	technically in the pulpit outside of school for five years. But when you go back through the stuff

01:07:36 – 01:07:41:	that we've just listed, we didn't talk about all the things that MLK was personally doing,

01:07:41 – 01:07:49:	but he was active in all these things all the time. Since Cory just said, the man was not a pastor.

01:07:49 – 01:07:56:	He wasn't doing pastor stuff. Basically, what he did, he went through a grooming school, a

01:07:56 – 01:08:02:	preparatory process at the end of which he was declared to be a reverend. And that gave him entree

01:08:02 – 01:08:08:	into pulpits anywhere he needed to go. So anywhere in the South, anywhere in the Yankee North,

01:08:08 – 01:08:14:	where he would be welcome as a black man in a white congregation, they would be very excited

01:08:14 – 01:08:23:	to have this famous civil rights leader come preach. Functionally, the man was just a politician.

01:08:23 – 01:08:29:	He was only an activist. And so looking back to the first episode, we made it very clear

01:08:29 – 01:08:34:	that man wasn't Christian and didn't care about Christian doctrine. The whole reason that he

01:08:34 – 01:08:41:	got into the pulpit in the first place was to enable a life of this sort of activism. And that's

01:08:41 – 01:08:48:	what we see. He spent so much time in his first five years as a so-called full-time pastor

01:08:48 – 01:08:54:	that his own congregation basically asked him to step down. And he did. And in the subsequent year,

01:08:54 – 01:08:59:	he did become an associate pastor in his father's congregation. But that wasn't because he was going

01:08:59 – 01:09:07:	to get back into the pulpit as a serious preacher. It was to maintain that credibility check mark.

01:09:07 – 01:09:14:	He needed people to be able to address him as reverend and say, here's a wonderful pastor from

01:09:14 – 01:09:19:	the South. He's here to preach to us today. It was a skin suit from the very beginning. And that's

01:09:19 – 01:09:25:	why we're talking about it on a Christian podcast. A man who cloaked himself in the Christian faith

01:09:25 – 01:09:33:	went on to work for communists to do destructive things. That's it. And we said before, is that

01:09:33 – 01:09:40:	politics is a religion? Honestly, I don't care. It's evil. It's insincere. It's not Christian. It's

01:09:40 – 01:09:45:	just bad. You don't need to sort of put it into the correct bucket to be able to know what to

01:09:45 – 01:09:50:	think about it. The man pretended to be a pastor so that he could do all of this other stuff.

01:09:50 – 01:09:55:	And that's kind of what this entire episode boils down to. Not only was he not Christian as we

01:09:55 – 01:10:02:	talked about last episode, but he wasn't a pastor either. The man didn't do pastoral stuff. He didn't

01:10:02 – 01:10:07:	get in pulpits and gave speeches. And occasionally he would talk, and he talked about God, and he

01:10:07 – 01:10:10:	would talk about Jesus, but not at the same time, because as we mentioned, he didn't think they were

01:10:10 – 01:10:17:	the same. He didn't think that Jesus was God or is God. But he knew that Jesus opened pocketbooks

01:10:17 – 01:10:23:	and Jesus would open doors. And so that word, that shibboleth, that he would provide to actual

01:10:23 – 01:10:29:	Christians in some of these places was the opportunity for him to do what the communists had sent him to do.

01:10:29 – 01:10:45:	I guess if we mentioned that MLK spent a month in India and that MLK was an advocate of so-called

01:10:45 – 01:10:53:	non-violence, then it's probably incumbent on us to at some point go after the idol that is Mahatma

01:10:53 – 01:11:01:	Gandhi, because of course the non-violence thing was his big argument. And it's as much of a lie as

01:11:01 – 01:11:10:	in the case of MLK. But returning to MLK, the topic of this episode, in 1960, he moves to Atlanta

01:11:10 – 01:11:16:	because he wants to become more involved in the SCLC, which was based in Atlanta. And so he becomes

01:11:16 – 01:11:25:	associate pastor at his father's church, Ebenezer Baptist Church. In 1963, this is where we get

01:11:25 – 01:11:32:	the Birmingham campaign, which was mentioned earlier. These are large-scale protests to disrupt

01:11:32 – 01:11:39:	the operation of Birmingham. The goal here is complete and utter chaos to bring the city to

01:11:39 – 01:11:48:	its knees and to force change, which sounds an awful lot like something that is not non-violence,

01:11:48 – 01:11:56:	so-called. Notably, in this campaign, they deliberately used children and young adults

01:11:56 – 01:12:04:	in order to garner sympathy. And that was 100% fully undertaken with the knowledge

01:12:05 – 01:12:11:	that the use of riot tactics would be in play because of what these protesters, so-called,

01:12:11 – 01:12:17:	were doing. The goal was to have children or young adults injured in front of the media

01:12:17 – 01:12:24:	so that they could take this to the world and garner sympathy. This was scripted beginning to end.

01:12:24 – 01:12:31:	It wasn't executed well, but it was scripted from the beginning. The mastermind, as it were,

01:12:31 – 01:12:37:	behind the use of children and young adults was James Bevel. You may be surprised to learn

01:12:37 – 01:12:43:	that James Bevel was a serial pedophile who frequently abused his own daughters and undoubtedly

01:12:43 – 01:12:49:	others. One of his daughters in the court case where he was convicted of incest testified that

01:12:49 – 01:12:56:	he began molesting her when she was only six years old. Lest you believe that these charges were

01:12:56 – 01:13:04:	ginned up against him, one of the items introduced to evidence into evidence in that case was a

01:13:04 – 01:13:10:	recording of a conversation between James Bevel and one of his daughters in which he admits to

01:13:10 – 01:13:15:	having raped her and states that he just wanted to have sex with her not get her pregnant.

01:13:17 – 01:13:21:	This was, of course, admitted when he denied it because then it is an admission against interest

01:13:21 – 01:13:29:	and it is permissible to admit that over here, say, objection, a little legal aside for someone.

01:13:29 – 01:13:37:	That's relevant for one specific reason. These are moral matters. The accusation of racism

01:13:37 – 01:13:45:	is a moral accusation. It is an accusation of sin against a God. That makes it relevant when

01:13:46 – 01:13:54:	men who will rape their own children will also call racism evil. We said many times,

01:13:54 – 01:14:01:	if you as a Christian believe that something like racism is evil or misogyny or all of these

01:14:01 – 01:14:07:	other words that didn't exist in the 19th century, if you believe that those are sins against God,

01:14:08 – 01:14:12:	ask yourself how your morality perfectly matches someone who rapes his own daughters

01:14:12 – 01:14:19:	because it does. Someone who says that racism is evil has the same God as someone who says

01:14:19 – 01:14:30:	that pedophilia is okay. Those two keep coming up with freakishly creepy frequency. It's really

01:14:30 – 01:14:36:	disturbing to me how often someone who comes after Corrie or myself or anyone on the right,

01:14:36 – 01:14:42:	anyone who's not afraid to say, actually, maybe human beings are not all just fungible economic

01:14:42 – 01:14:48:	cogs. Maybe God creates us differently and perhaps for different purposes. When someone says that,

01:14:48 – 01:14:55:	and the person who's furious with them is also a child rapist, that's morally relevant because

01:14:55 – 01:15:02:	these are moral questions. If harming children in such a horrific manner is okay to someone

01:15:02 – 01:15:08:	and using a mean word about someone is horrific to the same person, at some point you have to

01:15:08 – 01:15:13:	ask yourself, is your moral compass broken if it's pointing the same direction as theirs?

01:15:13 – 01:15:18:	Because if you're pointing in the same direction on racism, how are they pointing in a different

01:15:18 – 01:15:25:	direction when it comes to something that's clearly much more serious? Yet these things keep

01:15:25 – 01:15:31:	coming up. He's not the only one. This happens all the time. We talked in the past about Jeffrey

01:15:31 – 01:15:39:	Dahmer. He was a sodomite, a cannibal, a rapist, a murderer. The thing that he was upset about when

01:15:39 – 01:15:43:	he was arrested and in the press was when he was called a racist. That was the only thing that

01:15:43 – 01:15:50:	anyone accused Dahmer of that actually offended him. That was against his religion. That should be a

01:15:50 – 01:15:55:	big deal to Christians. If you're still not over the hump of thinking that racism is not only not

01:15:55 – 01:16:00:	a sin, but it's actually talking about something that may be relevant in the Christian faith,

01:16:01 – 01:16:05:	you should just stop what you're doing and work on that. That's why we did a whole series on race

01:16:05 – 01:16:10:	and we did an entire episode on racism. Because don't forget Martin Luther King Jr.

01:16:10 – 01:16:16:	Mike devoted his whole life to fighting racism, and he did. He fought racism. He toppled racism.

01:16:16 – 01:16:21:	The reason he comes up in our churches today is he is the patron saint of anti-racism.

01:16:21 – 01:16:27:	He's also a communist. He's also a godless. He's also a rapist. He was an evil, wicked man who's

01:16:27 – 01:16:32:	burning in hell and he was anti-racist. That makes it relevant for every Christian today.

01:16:32 – 01:16:38:	If you can have a religion that has bits and pieces of Satan's religion and in bits and pieces of

01:16:38 – 01:16:44:	God's religion and you throw them all together, does God survive that? Does the true Christian

01:16:44 – 01:16:51:	faith survive contact with utterly wicked things? I don't think it can. It's not powerlessness on

01:16:51 – 01:16:58:	God's part. It's unbelief on our part. If we're willing to take these wicked things from wicked

01:16:58 – 01:17:05:	men, that's my new religion. I'm really passionate about this now. At some point, you're jeopardizing

01:17:05 – 01:17:10:	your soul and it doesn't take long. As we can see from all of these men, all these men are evil.

01:17:10 – 01:17:15:	There's not a good one among them. We didn't cherry-pick. This is just a litany of the men

01:17:15 – 01:17:22:	in Mike's life who were all working towards the same goals that are by and large anti-racist,

01:17:22 – 01:17:27:	which, as we said at the beginning, was an explicit Soviet tentpole of the destruction

01:17:27 – 01:17:34:	of America. You bring up an important point there that I want to emphasize. We did not pick

01:17:34 – 01:17:40:	these individuals at random. We did not go looking for the worst ones. In fact,

01:17:41 – 01:17:49:	this list was almost exclusively made from the King Institute at Stanford. Just taking the names of

01:17:49 – 01:17:55:	the individuals the King Institute considers relevant in his life. So there are others

01:17:56 – 01:18:04:	who could be listed here and they aren't. We listed the ones that the defenders of King

01:18:04 – 01:18:12:	say were relevant in his life. So this is the good representation of MLK. There's a worse one we

01:18:12 – 01:18:21:	could make. But return for just a moment to bevel during the trial he also admitted to having had

01:18:21 – 01:18:27:	16 children with seven different women. I will decline to draw any conclusions from that.

01:18:27 – 01:18:35:	Notably, the Jesuits were involved in the Birmingham campaign. They did, however, remark

01:18:35 – 01:18:40:	that the protesters were disorganized and, in their words, quote, misdirected.

01:18:42 – 01:18:48:	But the Roman Catholic Church has long had involvement in the so-called civil rights

01:18:48 – 01:18:55:	movement and not just in the U.S., but in other places as well. And I am not just picking on the

01:18:55 – 01:19:01:	Roman Catholics because obviously we've already mentioned Baptist and Methodist and I believe

01:19:01 – 01:19:06:	there either is an Episcopalian in this list or I saw him while I was reading. I may not have

01:19:06 – 01:19:15:	ultimately included him. But this same year, after this immense civil unrest caused by MLK

01:19:16 – 01:19:20:	and men, there were deaths in this. There were individuals who were killed as part of this

01:19:20 – 01:19:27:	rioting. MLK, of course, caps this off by giving a speech about nonviolence because

01:19:28 – 01:19:36:	how better to cap off a riot that lasts for days on end. But this is used as one of the reasons

01:19:36 – 01:19:43:	that the FBI finally wiretaps MLK and then consistently begins collecting

01:19:43 – 01:19:50:	recordings of his conversations with others. This is also when he writes his

01:19:51 – 01:19:54:	famous or infamous, depending on your point of view, letter from Birmingham Jail.

01:19:55 – 01:20:02:	This is in part a response to mostly white pastors who had urged MLK. These are individuals

01:20:03 – 01:20:08:	who didn't disagree with MLK. They believed in the things for which he was fighting.

01:20:09 – 01:20:16:	They agreed with his goals. They just said, be less radical, be more patient. He rejected that

01:20:16 – 01:20:22:	and then he ultimately turned that letter into his third book, Why We Can't Wait,

01:20:24 – 01:20:32:	declaring, I guess, a very high time preference. But also in 1963, we have the March on Washington,

01:20:32 – 01:20:40:	one of the more famous bit pieces acts in this entire saga. Officially, it was called the March

01:20:40 – 01:20:47:	on Washington for jobs and freedom. Unsurprisingly, they dropped jobs and also freedom. This was

01:20:47 – 01:20:54:	organized largely by Randolph and Rustin, two individuals mentioned earlier and noted specifically

01:20:54 – 01:21:01:	for having helped organize the March on Washington. There were about 200,000 demonstrators who descended

01:21:01 – 01:21:06:	on Washington for this March. This is, of course, where MLK gives his I Have a Dream speech.

01:21:07 – 01:21:14:	There are a number of notable participants. In fact, quite a few notable participants come out

01:21:14 – 01:21:21:	for this particular rally. I will note one who has not been mentioned previously. A number of

01:21:21 – 01:21:26:	those who were mentioned previously, of course, attended this rally. But one who was not was

01:21:26 – 01:21:31:	Rabbi Joachim Prinz, who was the president of the American Jewish Congress at the time,

01:21:32 – 01:21:37:	an organization we have mentioned a number of times already. He had notably been expelled from

01:21:37 – 01:21:45:	Germany in 1937, perhaps for similar activity, which he is now engaging in on US soil.

01:21:47 – 01:21:51:	This man notably joined the March through Memphis after MLK was killed.

01:21:52 – 01:22:03:	And so we're sort of coming to the end of MLK's timeline as it were here, but not necessarily

01:22:03 – 01:22:09:	the end of describing exactly what it is we've just gone over. What is happening here?

01:22:11 – 01:22:17:	There's a lot of disparate seeming information. If we drew a full web, however, of the connections

01:22:17 – 01:22:21:	between and among these individuals, it would be so dense, you would not be able to read the names.

01:22:23 – 01:22:31:	This is all connected. This is all organized. This is all part of a plan, in this case, an

01:22:31 – 01:22:39:	international communist plan to subvert the United States to cause chaos, because the goal in large

01:22:39 – 01:22:45:	part for international communism was the destruction of America, because America was really the only

01:22:45 – 01:22:51:	standing power against communism. Europe had already been destroyed. Western Europe was

01:22:51 – 01:22:59:	busy attempting to rebuild still. They did not form any sort of real opposition to communism,

01:22:59 – 01:23:04:	to the spread of international communism. Only the US did. And so the goal was to destroy the US

01:23:05 – 01:23:12:	and one of the key arrows in that quiver. One of the key parts of that plan was to use

01:23:13 – 01:23:20:	southern blacks to agitate for long social lines and along racial lines to destabilize the US,

01:23:20 – 01:23:26:	to force the US to look inward to attempt to solve these problems, to address the chaos,

01:23:26 – 01:23:29:	and therefore retreat from opposing international communism.

01:23:31 – 01:23:35:	But the final two events we have here just go through these two because

01:23:36 – 01:23:42:	really they're the most salient for this. 1964 MLK is named Man of the Year by Time Magazine.

01:23:43 – 01:23:50:	Now in some cases the Man of the Year is just the most salient Man of the Year, the one who has

01:23:50 – 01:23:57:	done the most or caused the most chaos as the case may be. But here we actually see some of the

01:23:57 – 01:24:06:	building of the narrative of MLK as Saint in the new religion of the US. That religion being

01:24:06 – 01:24:13:	essentially Marxism but often called many other things. It's anti-racism, it's egalitarian,

01:24:13 – 01:24:16:	it's in favor of equality, it's all of these things, it's...

01:24:19 – 01:24:23:	We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. That's what it is.

01:24:24 – 01:24:28:	Made into a religion with various tenets and various different cults.

01:24:28 – 01:24:34:	These days largely sex cults, as we have gone over in this and other episodes,

01:24:34 – 01:24:40:	but it is a false religion and if you're Christian obviously you cannot participate in a competing

01:24:40 – 01:24:52:	religion. And so of course we end MLK's timeline with him being shot and killed on April 4th of 1968.

01:24:53 – 01:24:59:	We'll decline to speculate as to what exactly happened there because quite frankly it's not

01:24:59 – 01:25:07:	entirely clear who did what. The why is obvious, his corpse was used as a sled to push through

01:25:07 – 01:25:14:	civil rights legislation. And so it's very obvious why it happened and how it was used,

01:25:14 – 01:25:21:	but who exactly played what role is probably something that is known only to God and those

01:25:21 – 01:25:27:	who were actually involved. At some point in the near future we will definitely be doing an

01:25:28 – 01:25:33:	episode specifically on the history of so-called civil rights in the US.

01:25:35 – 01:25:41:	One of the things that I hope as you're listening to the news and reports today in current year,

01:25:41 – 01:25:46:	as you see trannies and all this other demonic activity out in the open,

01:25:47 – 01:25:52:	the people who are doing those things make it very clear that that is the culmination of the

01:25:52 – 01:26:01:	civil rights movement. They say that so-called transgender mutilated men and women standing

01:26:01 – 01:26:09:	on the lawn of the White House half naked exposing their mutilated bodies is the pinnacle of civil

01:26:09 – 01:26:14:	rights. That this sort of acceptance of this sort of behavior of these sort of people is

01:26:15 – 01:26:21:	the end stage civil rights movement and they're right. I think that's the hard part for a lot of

01:26:21 – 01:26:26:	Christians to acknowledge is that they're telling the truth. These people don't always lie when they

01:26:26 – 01:26:33:	show you the absolute most evil thing that you can possibly imagine and say, yeah, we're finishing.

01:26:33 – 01:26:39:	This is the finish line of what Martin Luther King Jr. started. If you like MLK, you want to defend

01:26:39 – 01:26:44:	his legacy, you say, oh no, he was a good man, judge a man by the content of his character,

01:26:44 – 01:26:51:	not this stuff. If you believe who Mike King really was, it's a lot easier to believe these people

01:26:51 – 01:26:55:	when they're doing these evil things and they say, yeah, we're on the same team as that guy.

01:26:56 – 01:27:00:	And as we said at the beginning, sure, he didn't go as far. He might not have approved of some of

01:27:00 – 01:27:07:	those things, but it doesn't matter because Corey just said once he had served his purpose, he had

01:27:07 – 01:27:13:	one last purpose and that was to be the sled that the rest of this stuff rode on to advance the

01:27:14 – 01:27:18:	ball further than he had in his life. In his death, he did even more damage in his life

01:27:18 – 01:27:24:	as a saint. And he's continuing to do that damage today in our churches. When this man is invoked

01:27:24 – 01:27:32:	as a source of morality and Christian virtue, once you know the things that we'd said this week

01:27:32 – 01:27:39:	and last week about the man, what does it say about your pastor, whoever is spreading that in

01:27:39 – 01:27:45:	your church, for him to believe that, to actually believe that this man who had an entire life

01:27:45 – 01:27:51:	against God and God's things, he didn't get one thing right. He didn't get anything right.

01:27:51 – 01:27:57:	Everything he ever did was intrinsically evil and it was in service to evil that was even

01:27:57 – 01:28:01:	greater than himself. He wasn't smart enough to understand that Levinson was handling him.

01:28:01 – 01:28:08:	He thought Levinson was a friend. It's funny, the discussions and the memoirs and the wiretaps

01:28:09 – 01:28:15:	Levinson was a typical New York Jewish lawyer. He was very much invested in money.

01:28:15 – 01:28:20:	A lot of the one of the complaints from the FBI is that a lot of the wiretaps are completely mundane.

01:28:20 – 01:28:25:	They're this guy whining about nickeling and diming these other circumstances. And yet when it

01:28:25 – 01:28:32:	comes to devoting so much of his time and energy to King's work, never a dime was transferred

01:28:32 – 01:28:39:	from King to Levinson. As Corey said, that tells you something. There was so much value

01:28:39 – 01:28:44:	that this man who would be so cheap in every other aspect of his life was like, I'm going to do this

01:28:44 – 01:28:48:	for free. If you're being charitable and if you think these are good people think, oh, wow,

01:28:48 – 01:28:55:	it was so important. Well, yes, it was important to Levinson to achieve the goals that global

01:28:55 – 01:29:03:	communism had, the global jewelry had. This was their goal was to use civil rights law

01:29:03 – 01:29:10:	as a solvent to dissolve the American society. We'll talk about it in the civil rights episode,

01:29:10 – 01:29:18:	but I think that as we look back from current year on to the civil rights marches and the civil

01:29:18 – 01:29:24:	rights efforts in the 50s and 60s, it's very easy to say, well, yeah, they were fighting for what's

01:29:24 – 01:29:29:	fair and black people were mistreated and I don't like that. I don't want to see people mistreated.

01:29:29 – 01:29:34:	That's not a bad impulse. We wouldn't say that's a bad impulse. The question is, why was it actually

01:29:34 – 01:29:39:	happening? And one of the things we'll talk about in more detail, but I think it's worth mentioning

01:29:39 – 01:29:44:	here just because of the Tel Vee phone book we've just read here is that all of the laws,

01:29:44 – 01:29:50:	all of the rules, all the signs that prohibited Negroes in certain places also prohibited Jews

01:29:50 – 01:29:57:	in almost every case. The civil rights movement, we're told today in retrospect, was about giving

01:29:57 – 01:30:05:	African Americans equal access to all of America's bounty. In reality, when those laws were passed,

01:30:05 – 01:30:10:	they also meant that you couldn't have social clubs, you couldn't have golf clubs, you couldn't

01:30:10 – 01:30:16:	have any sort of private institution where the real power in so-called WASP America excluded Jews

01:30:17 – 01:30:23:	because Jew is first and foremost an ethnicity. You can be an atheist Jew and it's not an oxymoron.

01:30:24 – 01:30:28:	See, it's one of these things where you say, well, is someone Jewish or not? I don't know. I don't

01:30:28 – 01:30:34:	know if he goes to synagogue. That's a bait and switch that's been put in our minds. Someone can

01:30:34 – 01:30:40:	be Jewish and not have the Jewish faith. They don't have to be practicing to be a Jew. And frankly,

01:30:40 – 01:30:44:	it's really offensive to say to someone, you're not a Jew because they don't wear the hat and go

01:30:44 – 01:30:52:	to synagogue. That denies who they are. I wouldn't do that. And yet, that's something that gets played

01:30:52 – 01:30:57:	on us when someone wants to say, well, I kind of have a problem with some of the political goals

01:30:57 – 01:31:04:	of this group of people. So as we go through the civil rights history in detail, just keep in mind

01:31:04 – 01:31:09:	that all the stuff that was presented as being done in the name of God, in the name of Christianity,

01:31:09 – 01:31:14:	in the name of African-Americans, it achieved all the goals of these other people, of the

01:31:14 – 01:31:19:	Levinsons and the counselors and all the others, without them having to be out in front. They

01:31:19 – 01:31:27:	never had to say, let me into your golf course. All they had to say was, you should let this black

01:31:27 – 01:31:33:	man in. And then when the civil rights laws were passed that basically made illegal individuals

01:31:33 – 01:31:39:	choosing with whom they would associate, they were let in as well. And I think that a big part

01:31:39 – 01:31:43:	of the fight that's completely invisible, and part of the reason the guys like Levinson were doing

01:31:43 – 01:31:48:	all the work for free was they got a lot out of it, even apart from the global communist efforts,

01:31:48 – 01:31:54:	which for some people maybe is a big ticket item to small, all those we said at the beginning,

01:31:54 – 01:31:59:	like even the Atlantic says, yeah, that's exactly what was going on. That's not secret history.

01:31:59 – 01:32:05:	It's literally the history of the last century. I think the overall theme of this in many of our

01:32:05 – 01:32:10:	episodes is don't necessarily take what people say at face value. If someone says they're doing

01:32:10 – 01:32:15:	something in the name of fairness, or in the name of Jesus, or whatever they know is going to sound

01:32:15 – 01:32:21:	good in your mind, look at where they came from, look at the genealogy of their ideas, and look

01:32:21 – 01:32:26:	at who else is along for the ride, who are they partners and friends with, and who is going to

01:32:26 – 01:32:34:	benefit if they convince you to do what they're asking you to do. Because the convincing part

01:32:34 – 01:32:39:	is always in moral terms. It's this is right, this is wrong, you must do this, you can't do that.

01:32:40 – 01:32:46:	But the doing is what actually matters. You could choose to end free association as a

01:32:46 – 01:32:51:	civil rights act did for any reason or no reason. You say, yeah, I think everyone should be forced

01:32:51 – 01:32:57:	to associate with everyone else, no matter what. Okay, all they have to do is convince you of one

01:32:57 – 01:33:01:	reason that's going to work, and then agree with them, and then do the thing, and then it's over.

01:33:03 – 01:33:07:	And so every time these things happen, they advance the ball and they move things a little bit

01:33:07 – 01:33:16:	further, and then they restructure polite society. So for a man to question, huh, how did that happen?

01:33:16 – 01:33:20:	And what's up with all these people? Why are they all moving in lockstep across a century

01:33:20 – 01:33:25:	without any apparent coordination? And why is it always bad for my people? When someone asks

01:33:25 – 01:33:31:	that question, they're slandered and defamed in the worst possible terms in modern society,

01:33:31 – 01:33:35:	but they're terms that didn't exist 100 years ago because they're not moral terms.

01:33:35 – 01:33:41:	They're new political terms for political enemies. And it's okay for Christians and honest men,

01:33:41 – 01:33:48:	even if they're not Christian, to break free of someone else's labels of how you must limit your

01:33:48 – 01:33:54:	behavior. Behavior should be dictated by conscience. And as Christians, conscience should be dictated

01:33:54 – 01:34:00:	by scripture. And when someone who's not Christian comes along and tries to dictate your conscience

01:34:01 – 01:34:08:	in Jesus' astounding terms that aren't from scripture, just say, no, I want no part of that.

01:34:08 – 01:34:11:	Let's talk about what's in the Bible, or let's not talk at all, because I'm not interested

01:34:11 – 01:34:16:	in hearing you out. I think that if we were to unwind just a little bit, basically back to where

01:34:16 – 01:34:22:	we were in the 50s, in terms of viewing these ideas with either a jaundice tie or a welcoming one,

01:34:23 – 01:34:30:	the conversations would be completely different. And right and wrong doesn't change. It just doesn't.

01:34:30 – 01:34:35:	Right and wrong is eternal because it comes from God. And so as long as God is not changing,

01:34:35 – 01:34:42:	what is sin and not sin doesn't change either. And if our anchor is in the ethics of the day,

01:34:42 – 01:34:45:	it's easy to get bounced around by the tides of these things.

01:34:46 – 01:34:51:	Christians have to anchor our morality in scripture. If God said it, it's true. If God

01:34:51 – 01:34:57:	forbids it, it's evil. Begin there and everything else is simple. And when someone comes along and

01:34:57 – 01:35:03:	says, for 6,000 years, everyone was wrong, today we have a different idea. You just need to know

01:35:03 – 01:35:09:	that that person's not speaking in God's name. And once you figure that out, you can decide who is

01:35:09 – 01:35:13:	actually acting in your benefit and who might be a threat to your soul.

01:35:14 – 01:35:20:	Ultimately, a big part of this episode and others like it is simply an encouragement

01:35:22 – 01:35:29:	to heed the warnings of scripture that a tree is known by its fruit. And we are living

01:35:30 – 01:35:37:	with the fruit of the tree of the civil rights movement because the fruit of that movement

01:35:38 – 01:35:44:	is transgenderism. The fruit of that movement is children having their genitalia removed

01:35:45 – 01:35:52:	in the pursuit of becoming the other sex as if that were possible, as if we can undo what God

01:35:52 – 01:36:01:	did, if we can correct his supposed errors. The fruit of that movement is the incredible increase

01:36:02 – 01:36:08:	in interracial crime. The fruit of that movement is the fact that we have

01:36:09 – 01:36:14:	an enormous percentage of young children who are now depressed and some who commit suicide.

01:36:15 – 01:36:20:	And I could go on for quite some time, we all know, because we are living through it.

01:36:22 – 01:36:27:	So if the fruit of the tree is poisonous, the tree is poisonous.

01:36:27 – 01:36:35:	And so if you wouldn't eat the poisonous fruit, then why would you defend the tree?

01:36:36 – 01:36:42:	If you look at the way the world is today and you recognize that it is anti-Christian,

01:36:43 – 01:36:49:	if you recognize that the world hates God, hates his truth, hates his sheep,

01:36:49 – 01:36:57:	why would you support the very sort of men and the very ideas that brought us to where

01:36:57 – 01:37:04:	we are today? And there is a direct line from the civil rights movement to where we are today,

01:37:05 – 01:37:09:	and we will get into that eventually with an episode on civil rights.

01:37:12 – 01:37:18:	And if you go back through the list of the men and the women we talked about in this episode,

01:37:20 – 01:37:23:	you will find a lot of them who claimed to be Christian.

01:37:24 – 01:37:32:	You will find Baptist and Methodist aplenty. Some of them admitted they were not religious,

01:37:32 – 01:37:34:	most of them claimed to be one of those two.

01:37:38 – 01:37:44:	And yet look at their deeds, or in the case of those who wrote, look at their writings.

01:37:45 – 01:37:49:	These men were not Christian. They did not believe in the God of the Bible.

01:37:49 – 01:37:56:	They did not behave as Christians. They behaved for all the world as wicked pagans,

01:37:57 – 01:38:00:	virtually their entire lives in some of these cases.

01:38:03 – 01:38:09:	And look at those with whom they surrounded themselves. They surrounded themselves with

01:38:09 – 01:38:15:	atheists and Jews, and quite a few communists, and there is indeed a lot of overlap in those

01:38:15 – 01:38:20:	categories. Christians do not behave in that way.

01:38:22 – 01:38:26:	That's not to say that you cannot associate with sinners because that's always the charge

01:38:26 – 01:38:31:	whenever we make an argument like this. Oh well, Christ associated with prostitutes,

01:38:31 – 01:38:33:	yes, he told them to stop being prostitutes.

01:38:34 – 01:38:40:	If you are a Christian and you spend your entire life associating with communists,

01:38:43 – 01:38:46:	there's a very good argument to be made. You probably are not a Christian

01:38:47 – 01:38:52:	because you should be calling the communists to repentance and then disassociating yourself.

01:38:52 – 01:38:56:	If they refuse for a period of time, you can debate the period of time,

01:38:57 – 01:39:02:	but you cannot debate. The scripture is very clear. Do not even associate with such a one.

01:39:02 – 01:39:09:	There are injunctions in scripture with relation to disentangling yourself from open,

01:39:09 – 01:39:13:	impenitent sinners because they will drag you down with them.

01:39:15 – 01:39:19:	And yet here in the U.S., we are told that we are supposed to revere these men,

01:39:20 – 01:39:25:	that we are supposed to pursue the same things they pursued as if they were Christian.

01:39:25 – 01:39:29:	We're told these are part of the faith. Find it in the pages of scripture.

01:39:30 – 01:39:39:	Find me where scripture says racism is a sin. Find me where scripture says anti-racism is a good work.

01:39:41 – 01:39:47:	You won't find it. You will find that scripture says you have to care for your own above and beyond

01:39:47 – 01:39:52:	the stranger. You will find that scripture says that if you forsake your own family,

01:39:52 – 01:39:59:	you are worse than an unbeliever. And yet we're told by so many modern pastors,

01:39:59 – 01:40:02:	this is the sin of partiality. It's not. We've gone over that.

01:40:05 – 01:40:11:	Partiality is subverting justice. Partiality is not showing preference to your blood kin.

01:40:12 – 01:40:17:	That is simply behaving as a Christian. That's behaving as a human being. That's behaving as a

01:40:17 – 01:40:21:	man. Even pagans get that one right better than many modern Christians.

01:40:21 – 01:40:27:	But when it comes to these new invented so-called sins,

01:40:28 – 01:40:31:	there's a very simple standard. It has two steps.

01:40:33 – 01:40:37:	Can you find it explicitly in the pages of scripture?

01:40:39 – 01:40:46:	And then, if Christians did not write about it in virtually the entire 2000 year history

01:40:46 – 01:40:54:	of the New Testament Church, then why on earth do you think that it is a salient part or even a

01:40:54 – 01:41:03:	required part of the Christian faith? If you cannot find it in scripture and you cannot find it

01:41:03 – 01:41:10:	in the historical writings of the Church, then it simply is not Christian.
