Mark Dankof for the American Freedom News on Kissinger, Zelensky, Davos, and the New World Order
Alexander Mercouris of The Duran recounts as only he can what is really going on at Davos with Henry Kissinger’s statements on Ukraine and Russia. It is clear that Joe Biden, Zelensky, George Soros, Klaus Schwab, the governments of the UK and the EU, and the Zio-Cons are close to being on the ropes in their panicked attempts to bring Russia into GloboHomo and the New World Order. Kissinger now urges Ukraine to “negotiate” with Russia, especially since “the stability of Europe” is at stake.
In Kissinger-speak, this really means that the survivability of the New World Order and GloboHomo is at stake.
For the record, the time for talking should be over. Putin and Russia should deal the knock-out blow to this Satanic system and all of its advocates in both the United States and the West generally. Kissinger knows that the jig is up if President Putin presses on as he should. A Russian victory would also free up the American, British, and European nationalists to run the table on these career criminals by expunging them from their respective countries governments and media in a backlash of mass rage at a global political elite playing around with the lives of millions of people in their insatiable desire for a supernatural power lust.
For the Record: Kissinger’s fellow Tribesman is invited to Davos as a representative of an illegitimate Kiev government installed by coup d’etat in February of 2014. This coup d’etat is a strictly Tribal Affair, as is the New World Order itself.
14,000 ethnic Russians in the Donbass have been killed by that government in 8 years.
NATO continues its encirclement and recruitment policies in contravention of the Bush-Baker promises to Gorbachev when the Berlin Wall came down. As David Stockman points out, this fact, and the February 2014 coup d’etat explain Putin’s actions and demonstrate the absolute recklessness of the American and European political elite.
Zelensky reneged on the Minsk accords and in the terms later reached in Istanbul that would have ended this tragedy well before now.
Zelensky talked openly of installing nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The United States has had 30 bio-weapons laboratories in Ukraine. The United States and NATO continue pouring weaponry and mercenaries into the conflict and are working through Poland and Moldova to provoke incidents in Ukraine that would be used to justify possible NATO intervention on Zelensky’s behalf.
A coup d’etat in Kiev is AOK for American and European “Democracy” but Crimeans cannot be allowed to overwhelmingly vote in a fair referendum to return to Russia and avoid being ruled by a government installed by CIA coup.
The United States-EU-NATO cabal is deliberately using LGBTQ perversion and subversion in Ukraine, George Soros-style, to subvert the Orthodox Church and to divorce the Ukrainian Orthodox from its historic relationship with the Moscow Patriarch and the Russian Orthodox Church. $$$ was paid to Bartholomew II in Istanbul to interfere in Ukraine in what is not his ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Take a look at what James Jatras proves on this via Chronicles Magazine. Or glance at Magic Mike Pompeo’s promotion of Gay Pride on the official American consular site in Kiev.
This is all going on with rising gas and energy prices in the West, a $32 trillion dollar national debt and rising for the United States, and a tanking economy for average Americans and Europeans. There are billions for global arms manufacturers and the American Military Industrial Complex in the latest Zio-Con project, but no infant formula to buy and no money to rebuild the domestic infrastructure of this country. Biden and Soros have opened the American southern border with Mexico to a wholesale foreign invasion. We are on the edge of World War III with this lunacy in Ukraine, Biden’s latest public military threats to the Chinese over Taiwan, and Israel’s continuing threats to attack Iran.
I say the time for talking is over. The Russians need to attack the Command and Control Center in Kiev, finish the job in Donbass, and slap a complete embargo on Europe on all Russian commodities. Strategies with China and Iran should be secretly put together in anticipation of the worst, if they have not been already.
The Israelis should be informed that their support of Zelensky in Ukraine and ISIS-Al-Qaeda in Syria is going to have them paying through the nose as well. Russia will take a major lead in the Information War as it relates to Israeli crimes in Palestine and Gaza. Israel should be informed that an attack on Iran will reduce Israel to radioactive glass.
Remember the “Chicago Way.” It is the only way to deal with NATO, George Soros, Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, the LGBTQ movement globally, and the Obama-Clinton-Nuland-Biden Cabal along with the Zio-Cons in the Republican Party who work with them. Zelensky should be run out of Kiev for Tel Aviv or Miami with the comfort of his personal fortune in offshore accounts.
And real Americans, Brits, and Europeans need to be ready in their own respective lands as it becomes apparent that the time for talking is over.
Смерть Новому Мировому порядку. Для протокола:
Соплеменник Киссинджера приглашен в Давос в качестве представителя нелегитимного киевского правительства, установленного в результате государственного переворота в феврале 2014 года.
https://www.unz.com/article/the-jewish-hand-in-worl…
14 000 этнических русских на Донбассе были убиты этим правительством за 8 лет.
НАТО продолжает свою политику окружения и вербовки в нарушение обещаний Буша-Бейкера, данных Горбачеву после падения Берлинской стены.
Зеленский отказался от минских соглашений и условий, позже достигнутых в Стамбуле, которые положили бы конец этой трагедии.
Зеленский открыто говорил об установке ядерного оружия на Украине. У Соединенных Штатов было 30 лабораторий по производству биологического оружия в Украине. Соединенные Штаты и НАТО продолжают вливать оружие и наемников в конфликт и работают через Польшу и Молдову, чтобы спровоцировать инциденты в Украине, которые будут использованы для оправдания возможного вмешательства НАТО от имени Зеленского.
Государственный переворот в Киеве – это угроза американской и европейской “демократии”, но нельзя позволить крымчанам подавляющим большинством проголосовать на честном референдуме за возвращение в Россию и избежать правления правительства, созданного путем переворота ЦРУ.
Клика Соединенных Штатов, ЕС и НАТО намеренно использует извращения и подрывную деятельность ЛГБТК в Украине в стиле Джорджа Сороса, чтобы подорвать Православную Церковь и разорвать исторические отношения Украинской Православной Церкви с Московским Патриархом и Русской Православной Церковью. $$$ было выплачено Варфоломею II в Стамбуле за вмешательство в дела Украины в том, что не входит в его церковную юрисдикцию.

Все это происходит на фоне роста цен на газ и энергоносители на Западе, государственного долга Соединенных Штатов в 32 триллиона долларов и его роста, а также спада экономики для обычных американцев и европейцев. Есть миллиарды для мировых производителей оружия и американского военно-промышленного комплекса в последнем проекте Zio-Con, но нет детского питания, чтобы купить, и нет денег на восстановление внутренней инфраструктуры этой страны. Байден и Сорос открыли южную границу США с Мексикой для массового иностранного вторжения. Мы находимся на грани Третьей мировой войны из-за этого безумия на Украине, последних публичных военных угроз Байдена китайцам из-за Тайваня и продолжающихся угроз Израиля напасть на Иран.
Я говорю, что время для разговоров прошло. Русским нужно атаковать Центр управления и контроля в Киеве, закончить работу в Донбассе и ввести полное эмбарго в отношении Европы на все российские товары. Стратегии с Китаем и Ираном должны быть тайно разработаны в ожидании худшего, если они уже не были.
Израильтяне должны быть проинформированы о том, что их поддержка Зеленского на Украине и ИГИЛ-Аль-Каиды в Сирии заставит их заплатить через нос. Россия возьмет на себя ведущую роль в Информационной войне, связанной с израильскими преступлениями в Палестине и Газе. Израиль должен быть проинформирован о том, что нападение на Иран превратит Израиль в радиоактивное стекло.
Вспомните ”Чикагский путь”. Это единственный способ справиться с НАТО, Джорджем Соросом, Клаусом Швабом из Всемирного экономического форума, глобальным движением ЛГБТК и кликой Обамы-Клинтон-Нуланд-Байдена вместе с Зио-зонами в Республиканской партии, которые работают с ними.

И настоящие американцы должны быть готовы на своей собственной земле rgb цвета и становится очевидным, что время для разговоров прошло.
Mark Dankof’s Open Letter to the Russian People: Growing Older but Wiser in the Mythologies of the American Empire
On what would have been my Father’s 102nd birthday and the day after the beginning of Lent 2022 in the Western Church via Ash Wednesday last evening, I compose an Open Letter to the people of Russia upon request. I once wrote an Open Letter to the youth of Iran in December of 2015. That too, was asked for.
My late Father and the environment in which I grew up as his younger son plays an important part in my life story, both in terms of who I once was as well as who I still am. You can read his story courtesy of his obituary posted in 2009. It is entitled, “Colonel Karl E. Dankof, Shah’s Imperial Iranian Air Force Logistician, Dead at 89.” He is now interred at Arlington National Cemetery in Section 54. In Fremont County, Iowa in his hometown of Hamburg, Iowa, there is a painted “Freedom Rock” which bears his portrait, among others from that County in Iowa’s Southwestern Corner where Iowa suddenly becomes Nebraska or Missouri if you drive either west or south from this place in mere minutes. Recent events have not favored this now declining community. CNN film footage will explain why in a piece entitled, “After the Flood.”
I experienced something rather odd when viewing the magnitude of the disaster. Hamburg, Iowa became for me a sad prototype of the apocalyptic future I believe awaits the American Empire. The eschatological overtones of Jesus Christ in His Olivet Discourse resonate for me in Matthew 24: 39 where the Lord proclaims that ” . . . the flood came and swept them all away.” This has been the case of Empires throughout world history. In the case of the American Empire, it absolutely deserves a most horrible and sudden death, both because of what it has done to other nations courtesy of “Democracy” as well as what it has inflicted upon its own domestic inhabitants in terms of their Constitutional freedoms, the exercise of the Bill of Rights, and the Empire’s Technocratic Surveillance State constructed and deployed in the name of “Security.” If possible, we could all ask Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, or Bradley Manning how safe they feel these days, and how free they are courtesy of the Home of the Brave, the last 4 words of the American National Anthem. One of my late colleagues 20 years my senior who passed away last October cynically but accurately supported the adoption of a slight alteration of those last 4 words some 15 years ago. In the America concocted by the elite denizens and enforcers of The New World Order, he vastly preferred the “Home of the Slaves.”
Come to think of it, I’m not too popular myself since 2006 in San Antonio, home to the American military establishment and the Global Internet Surveillance operation of the National Security Agency (NSA). Interviews like “U. S. Liberal Democracy Turning Into Totalitarian Regime Reminiscent of the Soviet Union” given to the Tehran Times awhile back, years of appearances on TV on Press TV/Iran courtesy of the PBS or Fox-29 studio hookups once grudgingly allowed in the Alamo City, domestic American broadcasts on the Republic Broadcasting Network (RBN) here in Texas, and many past articles and published Op-Ed pieces for the American Free Press (AFP) in Washington and Don Wassall’s The Freedom Times (online as the American Freedom News), have made me a target of a long-term campaign of economic and professional marginalization, demonization, and quiet ostracism I could not have imagined in the America of my youth. That America is long gone. The death of that America began in earnest when a fusillade of bullets ended the life of President John F. Kennedy in Dealey Plaza in Dallas on November 22nd, 1963. I was 8 years old and in the 3rd grade of elementary school.
Believe it or not, when I voted recently in the 2020 Republican (GOP) Primary in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, there was a most curious Proposition 4 on the ballot, asking me if I agreed with legislation that would ban the teaching of the Marxist Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Texas public schools (I would, just as I denounce using public schools anywhere in this country to inculcate the young in LGBTQ practices and ideology or the legitimacy of abortion-on-demand.) But the second part of Proposition 4 also asked me in the same sentence to approve the doctrine of “American Exceptionalism” as the view of history to be presented exclusively in these same schools and State-approved textbooks. This idiotic idea carried the day with Republican voters in the entire State of Texas. Can they really believe such nonsense, both in terms of what has happened in this country in my lifetime, and the crimes committed by the American Establishment of both political parties abroad just in the last 30 years alone? Where in the world is such a view of the American Empire as the “exception” to the proven Bell Curve of history for all Empires in the course of linear time? Christ and the understanding of the redemptive history of Scripture would clearly find such a view both imbecilic and blasphemous. And yet the “Christian” Right in the State of Texas actually believes in such colonic detritus, along with the “Exceptionalism” of the Zionist State of Israel in marriage with The Beast, inscribed annually as obligatory mantra in a GOP Party Platform in the Lone Star State that in this arena of simian thought and warped ahistorical theocratic expression, is best used to line a cat litter box if one is Vitaly Milonov in Russia (smile), or Mark Dankof in Texas attempting to house train a new German Shepherd rescue dog.
In my Open Letter to Iranian youth over 6 years ago, the Tasnim News Agency of that country sought my humble opinion of the letter of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution to his young people. I did indeed honor that request. It is available in English and Persian. The English language version is entitled, “Mark Dankof: Leader’s Letter Urges Youth to Ponder West Duplicity.” I cited an article by Alexander Zinoviev of Russia entitled, “The End of Communism in Russia Meant the End of Democracy in the West.”
Truthfully, were it not for my good friend, Charles Bausman, the editor of Russia Insider, I would have never heard of Zinoviev, or his cosmic significance alongside Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov. That underscores the pathetic performance of the American educational system all the way from elementary school and high school through the undergraduate collegiate educational process and beyond. It is also a damning indictment of the American news media.
This struck me during my penning of the letter to Tehran in December of 2015 as a macrocosmic prototype of a painful truth: Everything I have ever learned about the real and demythologized history of my own country was largely learned on my own through circumstances I cannot fully discuss and through painstaking reading and research over decades. That began as a youngster in questioning the official version and verdict of what happened to President Kennedy in Dallas. What I learned in American schools over many years in watching and reading mainstream American media growing up proved to be a demonic synthesis of myths, half truths, and outright and deliberately crafted and targeted falsehoods. In many instances, the topics were not even covered at all.
The list of episodes in history concealed or falsely spun by American schools and mainstream media is encyclopedic and seemingly endless: the American Civil War, the American imperialism of the late 19th century, the truth about who really sunk the USS Maine in Havana, Harbor, the establishment of the Federal Reserve Board and the direct Federal income tax on American citizens in 1913, the sinking of the Lusitania, the Versailles Treaty after World War I, the Weimar Republic in Germany before the rise of Hitler, the McCollum Memorandum provided to FDR in October 1940 as a primer on how to provoke a conflict with Japan and goad the latter into attacking the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Dresden in February of 1945, what was really behind the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the circumstances and truth of the death of General George Patton in December of 1945, the truth of all of the circumstances surrounding the establishment of the modern State of Israel, the real truth surrounding the mysterious death of American Defense Secretary James Forrestal in May of 1949, the Lavon Affair, Operation Ajax in 1953 in Iran, the assassination of Diem in South Vietnam in 1963, the subsequent assassination of President Kennedy 3 weeks later on November 22nd, 1963, the Israeli theft of American nuclear materials from the NUMEC plant in Apollo, Pennsylvania after the Kennedy Assassination, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which brought the United States into the Vietnam War, Israel’s attack upon the USS Liberty in June of 1967 in “Operation Cyanide,” the RFK and MLK assassinations in 1968, the PROMIS affair, the Pollard spy case in 1987, what transpired between the United States and Gorbachev after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the first American invasion of Iraq in “Operation Desert Storm,” the deaths of Vince Foster and Ron Brown in 1993 and 1996 during the first Clinton Presidential Administration, NATO’s bombing of Belgrade in 1999, the 9-11 attacks, the American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq in October of 2001 and March of 2003 respectively, the subsequent criminal actions of the United States in Libya and Syria, the assassinations of Iranian scientists over years and then that of General Soleimani in January of 2020, the later emergence of the Mossad sex trafficking ring of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, exposing the earlier Mossad connection to British media magnate Robert Maxwell and his subsequent murder.
In the case of Donald Trump’s authorization of the murder of General Soleimani, I publicly called it what it was in January of 2020: an extra-judicial war crime committed by the Commander in Chief and the 45th President of the United States. You can imagine what Military Town USA, San Antonio, Texas, the American National Security State, the Republican Establishment, and the Israeli Lobby thought of those public statements distributed internationally by Iran’s Tasnim News Agency. The interview is still available but for how long is anyone’s guess. Look for “General Soleimani’s Assassination was an Extra-Judicial War Crime.”
This brings us full circle to the aforementioned deception of “American Exceptionalism” and the tragic implementation of its assumptions by the American Empire throughout history with blood-soaked victims both domestic and foreign. Remember when I mentioned the American Civil War at the top of my list of items? I was never exposed to any of the revelations about Lincoln or the implications of the conflict between North and South until reading “The Real Lincoln” by Thomas DiLorenzo and attending one of his lectures in the greater Washington, D. C. area before 9-11. It is my hope that you will be able to access my review of his book in the Russian language.
The implications for understanding the mentality of the American Empire and the ignorance, blindness, and moral decadence of its subjects in 2022 has many links to the Lincoln Mythology, the American Civil War, and the beginning of the death of the Old American Republic in the aftermath of that conflict. The resulting evolutionary development of the present Leviathan Beast that has brought untold suffering into the world in its progressive implementation of the New World Order goes back to the 16th President of the United States. Thoughtful leaders and citizens of contemporary post-Communist Russia with its current crisis in the Ukraine would have deeper insights as to the demonic character of what is now attempting to destroy them and why, in being acquainted with Professor DiLorenzo’s magnum opus. It changed the course of my own life to the present time.
Understood properly then, anyone who actually has the virus of “American Exceptionalism” in his or her bloodstream with its cancerous and demonic toxicity, operates with certain dangerous and derivative principles which are both all-encompassing and ultimately fatal. These include: 1) the total embrace of the mythologies about the United States, especially its supposedly unique greatness in history and the operation of that greatness in history in uninterrupted perpetuity until the Second Advent of Christ; 2) a metastasizing absolutism which denies any facts or reasonable interpretation of facts about events and individuals past or present which contradict the ideology’s doctrinal presuppositions and predictable conclusions; 3) an adherence to the belief that the histories of other nations are inherently inferior and irrelevant, a belief dependent on knowing little or nothing about the actual histories of these nations, or their contributions to humanity through centuries; 4) and the astonishing belief that “American Exceptionalism” provides the American Empire with the divine commission of God to act domestically or internationally in ways that are inherently legitimate and lawful because of an allegedly “Biblical” mandate.
The most potent and poisonous concoction imaginable occurs when this lunacy is combined with belief in “Israeli Exceptionalism” as part of The Beast’s total composition and manifestation in history. The best example of the Snake Oil Salesman for this nitroglycerin is John Hagee of Cornerstone Church, located not coincidentally, right here in San Antonio, Texas. He preaches a “Gospel” of Zionism and Jewish racial supremacy comingled with American “Christianity” and “American Exceptionalism.” Mr. Hagee has never met a Zio-American war he didn’t love. His Snake Oil is sold on syndicated American Cable TV religious programming and radio around the United States and the world. Demonic it is, but sell it does. The Wall Street Journal estimated some years ago that this “Christian Televangelist” was sitting on a $150 Million Dollar Empire of his own in Hagee’s promotion of the American Empire and World Zionism as a prelude to the appearance of Antichrist in history. Contrast that with what happened to my late friend and colleague, Pastor Dale Crowley, and what continues to happen to me. To my knowledge, Pastor Crowley and I were the only American clergyman of consequence in broadcasting and print commentary to oppose this Satanic agenda at great personal cost. Dale was working on this many years before I ever entered the contest. In order to understand what I have conveyed to a largely unresponsive American audience, it is my hope that a Russian language translation of “Pastor Dale Crowley and Faithfulness Unto Death” will be made available to you.
When Pastor Crowley comes to my mind, I am reminded of the instructions that our Lord Jesus Christ imparted to the Church of Smyrna via the Apostle John in exile on the island of Patmos during the reign of the evil Roman Emperor Domitian (A. D. 81-96). John’s “crime”? He refused to acknowledge Domitian’s proclamation of himself as the virtual incarnation of God on the earth, and the Emperor’s war against the proclamation of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the Roman Empire and those God had commissioned to preach and teach it.
Christ’s instructions via John to the Church of Smyrna are directed to the Confessing Church of Jesus Christ throughout all of linear and redemptive history. We read in Revelation 2: 8-11:
To the Church in Smyrna
8 “To the angel of the church in Smyrna write:
These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. 9 I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.
11 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.
If as a Russian, you have the Holy Spirit’s understanding of Christ’s message through John inscribed in these verses, I rejoice. Because the war against the Russian nation, its leaders, and its people, can only be understood in a Biblical context, as I once explained to a handful of Christian parents and children in Texas in a private lecture I later published. I hope you will be able to access it in your own language. It is entitled, “Christian Martyrdom and The American Empire: Mark Dankof On The New World Order.”
Everything I stated to these Christians in Texas in a private home seminar is now unfolding. I hope they remember my words that dark night quite some time ago. Americans in the main couldn’t care less about my message then or now. Neither have they heeded what I have told the Tehran Times and Sputnik International recently about this present crisis, just before it became an overtly military one. Neither have they heeded Thomas Ertl, James Jatras, Pat Buchanan, David Stockman, Paul Craig Roberts, Mike Whitney, Father Joseph Gleason, and a mere handful of responsible American analysts far more prominent than I in this life, who tried to tell them the truth. Isaiah 59: 8 describes those who follow Emperor Domitian of the Ancient Roman Empire, or Emperor Biden of the American Empire. The Lake of Fire in John’s Apocalypse is their final destination.
The American Empire’s toxic brew of “American Exceptionalism” is the most poisonous of any in all of history. The implications of its existence have eschatological overtones in fulfilling the prophetic words of the New Testament about the exponential increase in demonic activity prior to the blessed return of our Lord Jesus Christ. “American Exceptionalism” in truth has the blended components of Multi-National Corporatism, Cultural Marxism, and Globalism. The methods of its attempted exportation on a global basis are the deployment of sexual perversion and subversion of national sovereignties, the Information War, draconian economic sanctions for blackmail via starvation, assassinations and coup d’etats, and if necessary, military attack. Its Satanic agenda is deliberately cloaked in Messianic clothing and appearance. The Apostle Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians 11: 14-15 that “For Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” Those who ultimately stand behind this Empire are obvious, even as their naming and identification remains a total secret never to be mentioned in the American media.
The terrible news I share today is what you already know: Russia and President Putin have been targeted because they stand in resistance against this evil Beast in history. The Russian Orthodox cultural renaissance and recovery in your land in the post-Communist era especially outrages The Beast. He will stop at nothing in his attempt to destroy you, or the handful of us in the United States who have consigned ourselves to absolute marginalization, demonization, and probable future incarceration and martyrdom for having merely spoken and written the truth publicly while we could still do so. That window of opportunity is closing.
The wonderful news I share while I can as a Lutheran clergyman in virtual exile in my own country through all of this is that I am convinced that my Russian Orthodox and Traditional Roman Catholic friends are absolutely correct, that in His mysterious and providential wisdom, God has chosen Russia in these final times of the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy and the progressive unveiling of its eschatological signs to oppose and defeat The Beast in ways yet to be seen. Polycarp of Smyrna may be your temporal future and mine as well. But rest assured that we will finally be victorious, and the Lord will return in righteous judgment of The Beast and his minions, rewarding His faithful people as He has throughout time in their full inclusion in the Kingdom of God eternal and well beyond present time and space.
Sputnik International talks to Mark Dankof on Ukraine
The Complete Text:
Sputnik International:
Addressing current US-Russia tensions around Ukraine, Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin said: “Conflict is not inevitable. There is still time and space for diplomacy”. Why does the US continue to publicly take a harsh tone against Russia, when we’re in a situation where any provocation might lead to a large-scale conflict?
Mark Dankof:
As I told the Tehran Times recently, the position of the United States government on Russia and Ukraine is “certifiably insane.” Pat Buchanan and David Stockman have boiled it down to the essence of the problem: 1) The United States lied to Mr. Gorbachev in the wake of the coming down of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Soviet Union when it promised not to recruit ex-Soviet Republics for NATO membership, or to move American and NATO military assets and exercises closer to Russian borders. 2) The current crisis over Ukraine is the direct result of an illegal American and EU coup d’etat in Kiev in February of 2014 which overthrew the legally elected government there. 3) The United States has absolutely no true national security interest in meddling in what is none of our business in Russia’s back yard. One will note that Lloyd Austin and all of these other “patriots” scream at the notion of any Russian military presence in Cuba or Venezuela, but reserve the right in the interest of “democracy” to hold a dagger at Russia’s throat–and Iran’s and China’s–in their respective backyards. It is utterly preposterous–and recklessly dangerous.
The bottom line with Austin and all of these other people is their relationship with defense contractors and Neo-Conservative think tanks and NGOs. Follow the trail of the money. The Intercept is but one source easily available on Google search to review these trails.
Sputnik International:
While stating America’s unwillingness to send troops to Ukraine to fight for Kiev, Biden announced that he’ll be moving US personnel to Eastern Europe and NATO countries in the near term. How do these two ideas mesh?
Mark Dankof:
Biden and his warmongers in both political parties have apparently thought better of crossing a Red Line for Russia where Russia will not back down (Ukraine). They will continue their irresponsible deployments in Eastern Europe. It is important to see how all of this duplicity escalated in the Clinton Administration with both NATO additions and in the criminal bombing of Serbia. Charles Bausman’s Russia Insider chronicles this in an article first posted in 2015 and entitled, “Remembering NATO’s Brutal Bombing Campaign in Serbia.”
There is yet another angle on what Washington and Kiev have going on in the Donbass: The deployment of mercenaries from the United States and the West with Ukrainian special forces types in the Donbass, to engage in paramilitary operations and acts of terror, including the probable set up of False Flags as was the case in attempting to overthrow the Assad regime in Syria. I have been following this through Donbass Insider and several sources on the ground there who send me what is not available for obvious reasons in an American mainstream media.
Here’s a classic example of how all of this works: Michael Vickers, ex-American Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, recently wrote a gung-ho editorial for the Washington Post on committing American troops to Ukraine. The Post failed to mention that Vickers is on the Board of Directors of the British BAE Systems, the largest weapons company in Europe, and whose stock value rose 10% in this crisis. It is the Lloyd Austins, Michael Vickers, and Joe “Burisma” Bidens of the world who are risking the lives of literally millions of people in this demonic lunacy.
Sputnik International:
Russia has stressed on multiple occasions that it is not considering any military option, while insisting on a dialogue, especially on the security guarantee talks. Why are we witnessing increased pressure from the West? How is it helping (or hurting) the dialogue between the countries?
Mark Dankof:
There is no dialogue between the United States and NATO and Russia, any more than there is dialogue between the United States and Iran. This is all about maintaining the supremacy of the Western central banking system, the American petrodollar, the profits of armaments manufacturers, and the State of Israel and its global lobby. There is no dialogue, only a pack of lies backed by military deployments and threats, economic sanctions and blackmail, black operational subversions in these countries, all couched in diplomatic language and the Orwellian use of terms like “democracy,” “human rights,” and “negotiations.”
Sputnik International: What is Washington’s casus belli here for promoting warmongering rhetoric over diplomacy? What do they want to get from such an escalation?
Mark Dankof:
My previous answer basically suffices in answering this one.
In this regard, Biden, Austin, and Vickers are joined by a classic GOP salesman and “patriot” for globalism, Neo-Conservatism, and Zionism: Congressman Michael R. Turner of Ohio’s 10th Congressional District which includes Dayton’s Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). Turner has been making the rounds in attempting to sell his wares everywhere he can, including both Fox News and CNN. In recently being added as the ranking Republican member of the House Intelligence Committee, along with his concurrent membership on the House Armed Services Committee, Turner was credited by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) with successfully fighting the Democrats’ Russia collusion hoax.
All well and good, but then people like Turner and McCarthy proceed to follow the even more dangerous path on NATO expansion, Ukraine interventionism, and the Israeli line on JCPOA.
Check out the Turner profile on Wikipedia: His Committee Assignments will tell you what money buys.
Three things are guaranteed: 1) Turner isn’t going to be on CNN debating Pat Buchanan or David Stockman on Russia, NATO, and Ukraine. 2) Turner isn’t going to tell his “patriotic” Christian voters in the 10th Congressional District of Ohio about the CIA-NED subversion of the post-Communist Russian Orthodox cultural revival and renaissance in that country via covert support for LGBTQ demonstrations there or the activities of the Pussy Riot types in that country. And 3) when blowing the Shofar Horn for the Israeli Lobby, he won’t be talking about the bombing of the King David Hotel, the Lavan Affair, the Ben Gurion-Meyer Lansky link to Dealey Plaza. the NUMEC thefts, the Israeli bombing of the USS Liberty, the Pollard and Ben-Ami spy cases, the PROMIS Affair, the truth of 9-11, or the Clean Break roadmap to American janissary wars in the Middle East courtesy of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
Sputnik International: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on the West to remain calm over the tensions with Russia, in spite of the Western rhetoric about “invasion” plans. Even Ukraine itself is asking for de-escalation and a return to diplomacy. Why is the country the West claims to care about not being heard?
Mark Dankof:
Perhaps Zelensky realizes that he’s in over his head in this. The European members of NATO need to reflect on their respective situations as well. Their own innocent populations will be the first be to hit en masse. For what? Joe Biden? Lloyd Austin? Michael Vickers? Mike Turner?
I have a suggestion for Sputnik International and other international news agencies: the promotion of a globally televised debate. Team One is comprised of Pat Buchanan, David Stockman, and Ron Paul. Team Two is Lloyd Austin, Mike Turner, and Victoria Nuland.
Who would accept that invitation? Team One members will. Team Two is likely AWOL but let us give them a chance under collegiate debate rules–including examination of evidence and cross-examination. Let’s have some Reality TV. Our lives may depend on it.
Mark Dankof for Sputnik International: Biden’s Absurd Border Policies
Alexandra Datig of Front Page Index (FPI) and Mark Dankof of The Freedom Times both pan Biden’s pathetic border policies for Sputnik International.
The complete text of Mark Dankof’s conversation with Sputnik International is re-posted on Vkontakte:
Mark Dankof:
Biden’s DOJ is being disingenuous in its analysis of the situation with migrants at the Texas-Mexico border and the subsequent release of illegals into both Texas and elsewhere.
United States Attorney Merrick Garland’s invocation of the ‘Supremacy Clause’ of the United States Constitution vis a vis the State of Texas regarding Governor Abbott’s attempts to get massive illegal immigration invasion of his State under control, is blatantly absurd. Absolute emphasis must be placed on the deliberate and continuous breaking of existing Federal immigration laws by the Biden Administration and its Justice Department.
The Los Angeles Times reported on June 10th that border migrant apprehensions are 5 times what they were in 2020. Why? Because it is obvious that the immigration policy of the Biden Administration and the Democratic Party is nothing more than a wholesale amnesty for illegals in the United States and a return to a ‘Catch and Release’ policy for border law enforcement that is no law enforcement in any sense of the word.
R.J. Hauman of FAIR reported on July 15th that the ‘Infrastructure Package’ in the House of Representatives contains a massive amnesty program for illegals. Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington State confirms this. She said during a press call that the resolution will include a pathway to citizenship for ‘Dreamers, [Temporary Protected Status] TPS, essential workers, and farmworkers.’
Press reports estimate that as many as 10 million illegal aliens could eventually be placed on a path to citizenship.
Between ‘Catch and Release’ and a blanket amnesty program, both would establish the legitimacy of a literal and ongoing foreign invasion of the United States. How many illegals are already here are unknown, but the best estimates figure approximately 20 million.
FAIR estimates this costs some $113 billion dollars a year. In terms of the concerns of Governor Abbott, it is noteworthy that ‘only’ $29 billion of this involves the Federal Government. $84 billion in costs are born by the States, even as Merrick Garland, Joe Biden, and a Democratic House and Congress plot a course of action in a demographic revolution via illegal immigration that will keep the Democratic Party in power in perpetuity at every level of government in the United States.
The mainstream media covers this up, as it covers up the relationship between illegal immigration and crime in the United States. Hans A. von Spakovsky noted two years ago that in Texas, a report from the Texas Department of Public Safety revealed that 297,000 non-citizens had been ‘booked into local Texas jails between June 1, 2011 and July 31, 2019.’ These are non-citizens who allegedly committed local crimes, not immigration violations.
The report noted that a little more than two-thirds (202,000) of those booked in Texas jails were later confirmed as illegal immigrants by the federal government.
According to the Texas report, over the course of their criminal careers those illegal immigrants were charged with committing 494,000 criminal offenses.
Some of these cases are still being prosecuted, but the report states that there have already been over 225,000 convictions. Those convictions represent: 500 homicides; 23,954 assaults; 8,070 burglaries; 297 kidnappings; 14,178 thefts; 2,026 robberies; 3,122 sexual assaults; 3,840 sexual offenses; 3,158 weapon charges and tens of thousands of drug and obstruction charges. . . .
It is noteworthy that neither Merrick Garland nor Greg Abbott reference the 1965 Immigration Reform Act as the launching point for where we are in the summer of 2021. Then, the American Congress passed a ‘reform’ bill which was aimed at a deliberate and significant reduction of European immigration to the United States and an intentional increase in Asian, Latin American, and African immigration. The ramifications of this demographic shift for radical change in the political, cultural, racial, and religious composition and outlook in the United States over time are as enormous as they are obvious.
Even more important in understanding the present conflict between Biden’s DOJ and GOP Governor Greg Abbott is that the latter comes from the Bush-McCain Empire brigade and the pro-Zionist War Party wing of the GOP. For that reason, the Governor does not mention Ronald Reagan’s ‘one-time’ amnesty for illegals nor the May 2006 collusion of George W. Bush and GOP members of the U.S. Senate with Democrats in the offering of a then blanket amnesty to 12 million illegals known to have been residing in the United States then. Clearly, the horse was already out of the barn and 200 yards down the road in terms of solving a burgeoning problem and all the attendant issues involved.
There is a silver lining in all of this. As white European Americans of various Christian lineages begin figuring out that their own government and political elite are targeting them for political, economic, and racial extinction, they will cease supporting Zio-Empire wars with their own money and blood. They will recognize that a Woke American Military is nothing more than a janissary force for a coercive global governance which embraces Israel, central banks, Critical Race Theory, LGBTQ, and their own targeted extinction and replacement by millions of non-European migrants. They will progressively recognize that a Woke American Military will potentially target them in their own land, even as it will be employed against nations like Russia who rightly resist having their own sovereignty as a nation-state threatened by the toxic and synergistic brew of Multi-National Capitalism and Cultural Marxism which is the foundation of a New World Order supported both by the Democratic Party and the Bush-McCain Empire wing of the Republican Party.
James Kirkpatrick put it well recently when he observed that ‘The only war the What’s Left of the Historic American Nation needs to worry about is the one being waged against it at home.’”

While I have considered the preservation of the constitutional power of the General Government to be the foundation of our peace and safety at home and abroad, I yet believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people, not only are essential to the adjustment and balance of the general system, but the safeguard to the continuance of a free government. I consider it as the chief source of stability to our political system, whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.
–General Robert E. Lee to Lord Acton on December 15th, 1866 quoted in The Real Lincoln (p. 268)
General Robert E. Lee warned of a Despotic American Empire at Home and Abroad.
The former Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations, Fereydoun Hoveyda, has recently brought his considerable historical knowledge of ancient and modern Persia to the task of writing about the role of mythology in explaining facets of Iranian cultural, political, and religious life to the uninitiated in the Western world.
Hoveyda’s invaluable contribution in this regard is matched in the American political and cultural context by Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo, professor of economics in the Sellinger School of Business and Management at Loyola College in Maryland, in the latter’s salient, prescient analysis of the Presidential reign of Abraham Lincoln and his prosecution of an American Civil War in The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War.
General Robert E. Lee foresaw it all. The end of the War Between the States was the end of Republic and the beginning of Empire.
DiLorenzo’s analysis of Lincoln, accompanied by copious historical documentation, shatters the mythology surrounding the 16th President’s motives and agenda in pursuing the War Between The States. The author provides convincing evidence for Lincoln’s overt racism as expressed in his documented views on racial supremacy as manifested in his desire to colonize all American blacks outside the continental United States (p. 4); that Lincoln’s views were matched by a palpable majority in the North who utilized such tools as state constitutional amendments to prohibit the emigration of black people into Northern states like the President’s home state of Illinois (p. 4); and that Lincoln’s war which killed 620,000 Americans [equivalent to 5 million deaths in 2002 population numbers and percentages] and destroyed 40 percent of the American economy, was a singularly terrible, unjustified conflict given the proven success in the 19th century of the peaceful end to slavery through the policy of compensated emancipation (p. 4). DiLorenzo duly notes that, “Between 1800 and 1860, dozens of countries, including the entire British Empire, ended slavery peacefully; only in the United States was a war involved (p. 4).”
What then, does The Real Lincoln lay out as the actual road map for understanding the war and the accompanying strategy and psyche of Abraham Lincoln in resorting to armed force against the Southern states? In his tome, DiLorenzo underscores the mythological President’s political and moral failure in pursuing the bloodshed of fellow countrymen with an evil, unnecessary, coercive methodology. The author insists that the prevailing world-wide trends between 1800-1860 would have resulted in the irenic end to the institution of slavery by; 1) compensated emancipation; 2) an encouraged advance of the industrial revolution in the South with capital-intensive agriculture and manufacturing (p. 277); and 3) the inevitable furtherance of Enlightenment philosophy in the American mind and culture, a philosophy which in the end game would have been ideologically incompatible with the continuation of the institution, as had been the case throughout the British empire (pp. 276-277). For the Loyola College Professor of Economics, the real Lincoln agenda in the War Between the States is located in the fact that:
. . .the War Between the States so fundamentally transformed the nature of American government. Before the war, government in America was the highly decentralized, limited government established by the founding fathers. The war created the highly centralized state that Americans labor under today. The purpose of American government was transformed from the defense of individual liberty to the quest for empire. . . . Lincoln thought of himself as the heir to the Hamiltonian political tradition, which sought a much more centralized governmental system, one that would plan economic development with corporate subsidies financed by protectionist tariffs and the printing of money by the central government. . . . It was Lincoln’s real agenda. . . . Henry Clay’s “American System.” For his entire political life Lincoln was devoted to Clay and Clay’s economic agenda. The debate over this economic agenda was arguably the most important political debate during the first seventy years of the nation’s existence. It involved the nation’s most prominent statesmen and pitted the states’ rights Jeffersonians against the centralizing Hamiltonians (who became Whigs and, later, Republicans). The violence of war finally ended the debate in 1861. . . . A war was not necessary to free the slaves, but it was necessary to destroy the most significant check on the powers of the central government: the right of secession. (Introduction)
Robert E. Lee foresaw the ravages of an American Empire based on a pack of lies, militarism, and a despotic domestic police state.
Chapter 5 demonstrates that this right of secession was rooted in the proper understanding of the Declaration of Independence as a “Declaration of Secession” from England, with the New England Federalists attempting to secede from the Union after Jefferson’s election in 1800, for more than a decade. DiLorenzo documents the pre-1861 assumption of most commentators in both North and South that states had the inherent right to secede from the Union as a last check on the excesses of an arbitrary, centralized Federal government, buttressing his case with telling quotations from Jefferson, John Quincy Adams (a Unionist), de Tocqueville, and even Alexander Hamilton. It was Lincoln, however, who invented the preposterous theory that the Federal government created the states, which were therefore not sovereign entities, subsequently waging a war to establish his deliberate inversion of the Constitutional intent of the founders. The Federal government became by force of the sword an involuntary Union, “the master, rather than the servant, of the people–especially once it imposed military conscription and income taxation on the population (p. 264).” Thus, the “American System” of Henry Clay began its implementation in earnest with Abraham Lincoln, creating a Leviathan Central State of oppressive taxation and regulation at home, and imperialistic expansion abroad, that has been unchecked ever since.
“Democracy” in the American Empire, Abe Lincoln Style.
The Real Lincoln also underscores the importance of the individual tenets of the Clay/Lincoln program of economic centralization in the destruction of a Constitutionally informed American Federalism, especially in protectionism; government control of the money supply through a nationalized banking system; and government subsidies for railroad, shipping, and canal-building enterprises (p. 54). DiLorenzo summarizes the economic agenda end game of the “American System” by quoting Murray Rothbard’s classic equation of the former with:
. . . namely, mercantilism. . . . ‘which reached its height in the Europe of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,’ [and] was ‘a system of statism which employed economic fallacy to build up a structure of imperial state power, as well as special subsidy and monopolistic privilege to individuals or groups favored by the state.’ (56)
This economic system, presided over by the man William Lloyd Garrison tagged as the “President of African Colonization,” (p. 19) dovetailed perfectly with the rest of the 16th President’s statist agenda, implemented with a methodology that effectively mixed duplicity with coercion. Seen with these lenses, the “liberator of the slaves” becomes the manipulative issuer of an Emancipation Proclamation which liberated blacks only in rebel-held territories after Lee’s defeat of Burnside at Fredericksburg in December of 1862. Lincoln’s Proclamation issued exemptions for a list of enumerated states, and was designed to liberate only those slaves which could be utilized for servile insurrection on isolated plantations (pp. 42-43), while concurrently discouraging European trade and political support for the Confederacy (pp. 37-38). The Great Economic Centralizer may also be fully credited for:
. . .launching a military invasion without the consent of Congress; suspending habeas corpus; imprisoning thousands of Northern citizens without trial for merely opposing his policies; censoring all telegraph communication and imprisoning dozens of opposition newspaper publishers; nationalizing the railroads; using Federal troops to interfere with elections; confiscating firearms; and deporting an opposition member of Congress, Clement L. Vallandigham, after he opposed Lincoln’s income tax proposal during a Democratic Party rally in Ohio. . . . In addition to abandoning the Constitution, the Lincoln administration established another ominous precedent by deciding to abandon international law and the accepted moral code of civilized societies and wage war on civilians. (6)
In this latter regard, DiLorenzo reminds the reader of the scorched earth policies of Sheridan, Grant, and William Tecumseh Sherman, not only in the War Between the States but in the post-war eradication of the Plains Indians in acts of mass murder designed to pave the way for the government’s transcontinental railroads; the exploitative policies of Lincoln’s successors in the Reconstructionist South of 1865-77; and the subsequent imperialistic policies abroad of McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and their successors in the furtherance of American Empire. In each case, The Real Lincoln makes a compelling case that in an epochal sense, it all began with the methods and motives of America’s 16th President.
If You’re for Republic, not Empire, You Certainly Are.
Finally, the informed reader of The Real Lincoln will be duly impressed with the ominous parallels between the Republican 16th President and the Republican 43rd Chief Executive of the United States. It is George W. Bush who has gone beyond Lincoln’s national centralized banking in facilitating globalist financial structures like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, The North American Free Trade Agreement the World Trade Organization, GATT, and the proposed Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (managed trade, not free trade). It is Mr. Bush who has increased Federal spending beyond that of his predecessor for a variety of agencies, including new monies for the Federal Department of Education. It is Mr. Bush who has prosecuted an offensive war against a foreign power without the necessary consent and authorization of Congress according to Article 1, Section 8. Similarly, it is Mr. Bush whose Administration seeks, through the USA Patriot Act and the Domestic Security Enhancement Act (DSEA), the broadest authority ever given the Executive Branch of the Federal government to conduct warrantless searches and seizures of homes and businesses; to hold citizen suspects in custody without legal representation for unspecified periods of time; and to pursue the broadest expansion of electronic surveillance operations in the history of the United States. And where 19th century British mercantilism is concerned, Murray Rothbard’s textbook definition of it as government’s special subsidy and monopolistic privilege to individuals or groups favored by the state, must be applied in spades to the monarchial reign of King George W. Bush and his cabal of advisers influenced by international bankers, oil and natural gas consortiums, insurance and media conglomerates, and the much vaunted Israeli Lobby. The 19th century Credit Mobilier and Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads are now the domain of UNOCAL; Halliburton Oil; Kellogg, Brown, and Root; Trieme Partners; Exxon/Mobil; Chevron; Paladin Capital; the Carlyle Group; and the American Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC). And in this merger of the denizens of the Central State with multinational economic conglomerates and globalist structures of impending World Government, the American military in most Lincolnesque fashion now serves as the janissaries of coercive interests totally at odds with historic American Federalism and those the latter was designed to protect.
An Overview of Jonah as Prototypical Primer for Catacomb Church and Homeschool Study
Jonah in distress in the 8th century B. C. He was a prototype of coming distress for the Northern Kingdom of Israel and Samaria. Is there a contemporary historical analogy and application?
I am most honored to be with you today as an invited guest on this Sunday afternoon. Let me say at the outset that it has been a long time since I’ve been in front of a group of evangelicals in a home or classroom setting to provide an overview of a Biblical book or a topic of history or systematic theology. Years ago when a most improbable set of circumstances brought me to the now defunct Texas Bible College in the Alamo City to teach Biblical courses, apologetics, church history, and communications for several years, I had the pedagogical experience of my life in front of a group of young people who saw learning the material as an exciting journey and odyssey of a lifetime.
What I remember most is what Lutheran pastor and theologian Helmut Thielicke once referred to as “intense listening.” I covered the context of Pastor Thielicke’s phrase in a presentation I delivered to a Lutheran gathering in the Middle West 4 years ago. In a nutshell, Dr. C. George Fry chronicles that context in his article on Thielicke in the Handbook of Evangelical Theologians (Baker, 1993) on pages 219-233. Dr. Fry explains how and why this great man was in academic and professional exile in the early days of World War II, how he came out of exile under circumstances that can only be explained as the work of God in history, and how through his teaching skills and personal acquaintance with the Gospel, the Stuttgart Cathedral lectures to the beleaguered German people transpired even as Allied air raids drew ever nearer to them. Fry noted that:
Helmut Thielicke: Preaching the Gospel near Midnight in the Stuttgart Cathedral during the apocalyptic Allied Air Raids. He experienced “intense listening” never seen again.
“As he lectured [in Stuttgart Cathedral] on its five principle parts [Small Catechism of Luther]–the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper–‘evening after evening some three thousand persons gathered together; workers and businessmen, students and professors, soldiers and generals, Nazi functionaries (naturally in civilian clothes!) and Jews, Dutch compulsory laborers . . . and sometimes whole classes from the schools. It was an overwhelming time for me. Never since have I experienced such intense listening.’ Soon the massive air raids began. When the streetcars could no longer run, people ‘came on foot, often from many miles away, through the fields of ruins and rubble’ even on dark and frightening winter evenings. But then the [Stuttgart] cathedral was destroyed. Thielicke wrote, ‘I can still see the towering torch of this venerable house of God. . . . I stood there holding in my hand a key to a door that no longer existed.’”
The original Stuttgart Cathedral is located in Stuttgart-Bad-Canstatt. Its history goes back all the way to 1470. After massive destruction during the Second World War, the church was rebuilt in 1954/55.
The lesson is this: When there is great opportunity for evangelical believers to gather together around a meaningful study of the Word of God, that is an opportunity to be seized at the moment in time it is offered. Just as the Stuttgart Cathedral was torched in a single evening of air raids, so it was that Texas Bible College closed under less dramatic circumstances after a handful of semesters of teaching for me there. Thielicke noted later in his life that those times of “intense listening” would never come again. I never experienced it again either, although I sense in our group this afternoon that the Lord has many mutual blessings for us in the handful of occasions when I will be your guest in this house to share my thoughts and materials with you. And please keep in mind that just as there was a sense of great apocalyptic and eschatological expectation among the German people who flocked to the Thielicke lectures in Stuttgart Cathedral, there is a strong scent of apocalyptic and eschatological expectation in history among those of us in the Remnant Church most desirous of spending more time in the Word of God and in fervent intercessory prayer. I addressed this very thing in the last public theological presentation made to anyone in 2017 in “The Church of Smyrna Speaks to the Confessing Church of Christ in this Darkening Hour.” Later in the year, I would be given 5 minutes to speak at a Lutheran convention in a foreign country with reference to this article. In addition to the shortness of time allotted, the convention folks were preoccupied with choosing a new president and adopting a new organizational structure. John on Patmos and the application of the Apocalypse to the present historical situation of the Remnant Church in the Western World and elsewhere wasn’t apparently on their agenda for the week. I know it is on yours or I would not have been asked to come here. The point is this: You know the hour. You want your loved ones to have the best grasp of Scripture possible as persecutions and circumstances worsen. And I’d rather be with 7 folks here in this house on a Sunday afternoon than all the denominational meetings and conventions extant. Put slightly differently, I tend to hate those gatherings. Enough said.
My second introductory point pertains to the political realm in the world, our need to be presently informed and watchful observers of the events within it in this country and abroad, and to take note of Paul’s warnings in Ephesians 6 about the demonic realm’s influence and operations within world governments. Why? Because: 1) The Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and both the Old Testament Prophets and the New Testament Apostolic Writers underscore the importance of discernment in battling demonic deception in world history at every point on the linear time line which runs from the Fall to the Second Advent of the Lord. 2) No Biblical writing can be properly studied and even partially understood without constant reference to the historical context and events that enshrouded the particular author, including Jonah. And what Biblical principles at these various stages of redemptive history properly inform the Remnant Church now as to what God is accomplishing at present through individuals, collective entities, world leaders and empires, and technological advancements making global surveillance systems, economic manipulations, media misinformation, and military weapons of mass destruction and mass murder ever greater threats to the survivability of the planet? Does not the age of the Tower of Babel in Genesis, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in Daniel, and Nero and Domitian of the Ancient Roman Empire as chronicled by the Apostle John on Patmos in Revelation, provide us with prototypical clues regarding the New World Order and the impending unveiling of Antichrist? And to reiterate, 3) the Lord in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24/Mark 13/Luke 21) mentions the concept of deception more than that of any other idea in his chronicling of the run-up to the end of history and His return. The principle and the lesson is this: Assiduous study of the Word of God, acquiring proper tools in doing so, developing solid principles for applying the Old and New Testament to legitimate contemporary applications, including discerning the larger meaning of present and future events in history, are within your grasp and mine as we work within our mutual limitations as best we can, and ask the Holy Spirit of God to reveal what He desires that we truly hear, see, and take to heart in the times in which we live. Only these things can and will enable us to penetrate falsehoods and deceptions in these end times and to recognize false prophets and wolves when they insiduously infiltrate and attack. Rest assured that they are, and that they shall. And as we shall see shortly, interpretation and understanding of the context of the story of Jonah is inextricably linked with the political developments of his time as they pertained both to the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the nation of Assyria.
In closing this second point of introduction, let me note what many of you already know from things you have read or heard about me. I have been intensely involved in the political realm for many years, for reasons directly related to what I believe about eschatology, and what I believe are the particular forces Satan has been working through in both the United States specifically and the West generally to destroy Christian societies, civilizations, and churches, especially since the earliest portion of the 20th Century onward. My last post in this arena was this past January. I do not know if there will be any more, or any additional TV or radio commentary. My mission in all of this may already be past. It is my hope that people in the future who come across my work since 2001 will understand the context of why I embarked upon this journey in the critical years in question, and what I was trying to accomplish as one of a relative handful of voices exiled in the desert in wintertime. Time tells.
Beginning today, I hope to equip you with a basic structural methodology for studying any Biblical book. The book you have selected as a test case example is Jonah.
Before beginning our quest to examine the Book of Jonah more closely, let me say several things about tools for studying Scripture and consulting the best sources available to you or me. The first is the Annotated Bibliography. I emphasize Annotated because this term underscores that one is not simply provided with a list of books on a particular subject or discipline, but helpful comments and guidance on the strength and weaknesses of a particular book, the ideological background of the author(s), and the particular tradition or school of thought out of which said author(s) comes. As but one example, is the author an evangelical/orthodox scholar theologically, as we understand that term shall be used in this class, or does he/she come from the realm of Higher Criticism and Historical Criticism which provide a brand of scholarship with far different presuppositions and conclusions than any of us would accept as viable? Among evangelicals, what is a Dispensational Premillennialist? An Amillennialist? What is the context of the Calvinistic-Arminian controversy over free will and election? What is the difference between a Lutheran and a Zwinglian in interpretation of major Biblical passages pertaining to the Lord’s Supper? What are the different schools of interpretation that have existed in history to explain the Prophecy of 70 Weeks in Daniel, chapter 9?
These are just a few of the important ideas to have an acquaintance with in any evaluation of what we read in any commentary on these subjects at hand. Hint: All of us come to the Biblical narrative with a background and historical framework, whether we are conscious of this or not, or frank enough to acknowledge the obvious. Just in brief Internet search I found an interesting list with comments here. Check out another possibility for Jonah research here. The evangelical Denver Seminary has a list of Old Testament commentary recommendations here. And the famous evangelical Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, an offshoot of Princeton historically, has a variety of tools available to any of us. I introduce two suggestions at this point with Annotated Bibliographies: 1) Those prepared by known evangelical schools and sources are likely to be best for our use. 2) Having said that, please do not cheat yourself of the insights and contributions to be made in understanding a subject often contributed by scholars we do not agree with in key areas. Example: The great Lutheran scholar and historian, Jaroslav Pelikan (later Eastern Orthodox), had a view of the Scriptures heavily influenced by historical criticism and at odds with that of more orthodox, evangelical Lutherans. Having said that, if one engages in the study of historical theology, it is impossible not to avail oneself of his brilliant mind and research as exhibited in his 5 volume set on Church History, entitled The Christian Tradition: The History of the Development of Doctrine. I have this set, and am presently reading Volume 2 on my own, to learn more about Eastern Orthodoxy. Do you know what I was exposed to on this subject in an evangelical seminary? Absolutely nothing is the correct answer. The lesson is this: Protestant evangelicals are heavyweights in exegesis of the Word of God. They tend to be extremely weak as historians in the area of the development of doctrine. Take the predominant eschatological position of evangelicals on the final events of world history, especially as they pertain to the modern State of Israel vis a vis the Israel of God. How many know the beginning of the rudimentary elements of this position first emerge in the writings of a Jesuit priest in the 16th century, subsequently to be systematized by John Nelson Darby and popularized by the Scofield Reference Bible in the 19th century? One evangelical source for examining this subject and providing a fair treatment to both sides of this debate may be accessed here. The Annotated Bibliography for this single key subject alone is enough to fill a few libraries in and of itself. Enough said.
Where tools are concerned, the multi-volume Zondervan Charts are critically valuable. I have been collecting them for years.
And finally, if one desires to learn enough Greek and Hebrew through a reputable online course, the best tools for subsequent word studies and research include the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (Harris, Archer, Waltke), the updated version of the New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and Exegesis (Moises Silva, ed.), and the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (10 vols, Kittel/Friedrich). The classic Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon, the accompanying Index to the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon, the infamous Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature (Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich or “BAG”) and An Index to the Revised Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich Greek Lexicon (John R. Alsop, Zondervan) round out some of the basics for those who want to dabble in these scholarly arenas. We do not have to be world-famous scholars to use these. Over time, I can easily show you how. By the way, the Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich (“BAG”) edition is a first edition. Later, there was a second edition in 1979 that involved my late Lutheran colleague William Danker, hence the later acronym BAGD. And to make matters even more ridiculous for you, when a 3rd edition of A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature was subsequently issued in 2000, the acronym for the 4 scholars was rearranged for reasons beyond me. This 3rd edition is referred to by insiders as BDAG (Bauer-Danker-Arndt-Gingrich). Go figure. As for me, I still have the 2nd edition known as BAGD. This is for reasons of nostalgia that go back almost 37 years. The legendary Dr. Douglas Moo (follow your Annotated Bibliographies for the New Testament) was the one who beat me to death in summer Greek Exegesis courses in 1981 after I barely passed the crash course of 2 years of college Greek in 2 previous semesters at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School to qualify for Moo. He found it humorous when I slipped him a note to suggest early termination of a class that academically overwhelming summer of 1981 to get to a Cubs game in Wrigley Field that particular afternoon. The note read: “Dr. Moo. May we BAG this for the Cubs’ game today? Dankof. (BAGD from that time on wasn’t for Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich-Danker but for BAG [this]D[Signed, Dankof].” His response: “Funny, but I have BAGGED your suggestion. Dr. M.“
If you would like to explore the possibilities for yourself or your kids in learning enough New Testament Greek for the use of some of these tools in word studies, my written transcript of today’s conversation will contain a link here. Again, this may never be your desire, but I always chronicle these things in order that someone will have a resource to consult months, years, or decades later. I still use my notes, my course syllabi, references on note cards to something discovered in a particular resource, flash cards, and updated Annotated Bibliographies as needed, to get to the bottom of something in my personal studies. Two classic examples involve a single piece of paper where my late friend, Pastor John Eppler, tutored me for a week in the Hebrew alphabet and its phonetic sounds, to enable me to pass summer months of constant Hebrew immersion with Dr. Samir Massouh at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in the summer of 1982. Sadly, we lost Pastor Eppler in late 2004. After John got me through the alphabet and Hebrew immersion with Dr. Massouh, I would enjoy OT 711, or “Poetry and Post-Exilic History” with the latter that fall. Sadly, Samir Massouh now struggles with esophageal cancer and chemotherapy at the St. Francis Hospital in Kenosha, Wisconsin, north of Chicago. How I miss these men.
The late Pastor John Eppler’s handwriting instructs me in the Hebrew alphabet and phonetic pronunciation on a piece of notebook paper in the summer of 1982.
Dates of OT significance to memorize in the Fall of 1982.
One nostalgic story about Samir Massouh is in order. In my last Hebrew course in the summer of 1982, the final exam contained a lengthy translation. I “Aced” that portion of the exam. Several days later, he asked me to come to his office. He seemed troubled. I knew what was bothering him. He noted my never-before-noted-and-sudden brilliance on that portion of the exam. He also ventured that he believed me to be 1) an honorable person and 2) an improving but still mediocre Hebrew student at the graduate level. With those hypotheses ruminating in his mind, he asked if I had an explanation for my sudden foray into Hebrew exegetical skills matching his own, or Gleason Archer’s.
The Crucifix and the Sacramental Altar of Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Wahiawa. Every Wednesday morning, The Venite was sung by the children in the Matins Service (Psalm 95).
My answer was truthful and explanatory: “The answer is the Venite which I sang every Wednesday morning in 3 years of grade school at Trinity Lutheran School in Wahiawa, Hawaii in the 1960s during the Chapel Matins Service. It’s contained in the Matins Service on page 32 in The Lutheran Hymnal. The Venite is Psalm 95 used as a canticle in the Western liturgy, usually for Matins.” (Massouh’s test translation for the last Hebrew exam of the summer of 1981 was Psalm 95. Virtually none of the pan-Protestant evangelical students taking that exam knew anything about historic liturgy, especially in the Evangelical Free Church of America, the Bible Church tradition, the Conservative Baptist denomination, et. al. But the singular Lutheran with a childhood background in Western Liturgical Worship knew it by heart.)
Samir Massouh’s countenance reflected a combination of humor and relief. He said, “So this explains why you were humming while you were writing.” My response: “Exactly. After two lines, I recognized the entire pericope. But I could best bring everything back to total recall by humming the melody of the liturgical setting for Psalm 95 used then for Matins. It went much faster than trying to recite it without the music.“
I asked him if I would still receive my A. He said with a smile and beaming eyes, “Yes. and get out of here.” My response as I was opening the door to leave was “See you for Post Exilic History this fall.”
There is a postscript to this story. In the following spring of 1983, Trinity Journal (TRINJ 04:1/Spring 1983, page 84) came out with an article by Dr. Massouh. It was entitled, “Exegetical Notes Psalm 95,” and began with introductory comments on worship:
“Recent publications have reflected a renewed evangelical interest in the nature and manner of worship. Some have advocated incorporating charismatic enthusiasm while others have promoted the use of more liturgy. It is in the light of such revived interest that this study of Ps 95 is given, in order to establish some biblical principles about the nature and manner of worship.”
I ran into him on campus shortly after the article was released. I observed wryly, “You’re the first Trinity professor who ever plagiarized any of my stuff.” He got the humor.
Lesson: Never forget the most special people God has ever placed, or will place, in your life. Think about the principles of instruction provided. I will say it again. I will never forget those men, and those times. And if the truth be known, one of the great mistakes in my life was not staying there for a much longer period of trial and hardship to develop the skills and the calling I did not realize were emerging until many years later. I have one thesis to finish and one more language exam to finance and sustain in preparing for whatever remains of my life in the time left. Only God knows how this will be possible or where in this present world it leads, but He assures us he is in the Impossibility business (Luke 1:37).
Now we move on to a brief roadmap of introductory structure and notes for the Book of Jonah, which as indicated earlier is in prototypical form and concept what I do in the study of any Biblical book. (Aside: If you’re counting, my Word Processor informs me that you and I have now covered not quite 3500 words. Again, the electronic version of this conversation will enable you to get to the Links to some of the resources discussed here in the living room of this house.)
When God calls us to go to a destination 550 miles away, His purposes through us will still be accomplished if we run 2500 miles in the other direction. [Book of Jonah]
A Roadmap of Structures and Concepts for Studying a Biblical Book: Test Case is Jonah.
Place of the Book in the Canon and in the Redemptive History Timeline: For your Prototypical Analysis, think Patriarchs and Israelites/United Monarchy/Divided Monarchy/Babylonian Captivity/Intertestamental Period. Jonah: Divided Monarchy. Northern Kingdom of Israel. Minor Prophet.
Title: Named after its principal character. Jonah means “dove.” Compare with Hosea 7:11; Psalm 68:13 and 74:19.
Date: 800-750 B. C. for the prophetic ministry of Jonah. Authorship of the book prior to the destruction of Samaria and the Northern Kingdom of Israel at the hands of the Assyrians in 722 B. C. Hint: Compare evangelical commentaries with those of higher critical/liberal persuasion on this issue. The date of the revival in Nineveh recorded in Chapter 3 is believed to coincide with the reign of Ashurdan III (773-755 B. C.). Interesting speculation: Did two plagues in Assyria (765 and 759 B. C.) and a solar eclipse in 763 B. C. prepare the people for Jonah’s message of repentance or judgment?
Author: The book does not identify its author. Tradition assigns it to the prophet himself. (Consult both evangelical and non-evangelical commentaries and sources for the debates on this which ensue. One recommendation: see Gleason Archer’s section on Jonah in his Introduction to the Old Testament [Moody Press] if you can locate this volume. It is especially valuable for providing responsible academic representation of evangelical arguments for the reliability and accuracy of the Biblical narratives as it rebuts the most enduring objections of Higher Criticism and Historical Criticism. I can provide excerpts of these if needed. Archer discusses authorship issues in his comments on Jonah. Don’t dismiss these arguments as personally irrelevant. You or your kids may well need a handle on some of this to provide rebuttal to the unbelieving cynics some of you will encounter in circles of American “higher education.” Enough said. Hint: The arguments you will encounter revolve around higher Biblical critics who claim that Jonah was authored the 5th and 3rd centuries B. C., as a historical fiction espousing universalistic views to counter the “narrow nationalism” of Ezra and Nehemiah.
Jonah is identified as the son of Amittai (1:1) from Gath Hepher (2 Kings 14:25) in Zebulun (Joshua 19: 10,13). 2 Kings 14:25 references him as a prophet in the reign of Jeroboam II of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Here, we read that under Jeroboam II, the borders of Israel were expanded according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which He had spoken through his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet who was from Gath Hepher (3 miles north of Nazareth in lower Galilee).” Keys: the reign of Jeroboam II, Jonah as prophet of the Northern Kingdom, Jonah as a Galilean. Hints: See John 7:52 for a good case of Pharisaical error.
Historical Background: Know your Kings of Judah (south) and Israel (north) after the end of the United Monarchy! There were 20 Kings of Judah. 8 were good. 12 were bad. As for the Northern Kingdom of Israel, all 19 of their Kings from the end of the United Monarchy to the onset of final destruction of the Kingdom and Samaria in 722 B. C. at the hands of the Assyrians were bad. See here. [There are all kinds of historical gems and discerning contemporary application of these gems of instruction. One could look at the last 5 kings of Judah, beginning with Josiah (good) and 4 terrible successors leading to the Exile. Possible application: Think about the succession of American leaders in recent times, the state of the American Empire, and what many American Protestants have embraced as the doctrine of American Exceptionalism. Is that ideology Biblical? How does it square with the reasons for the rise and fall of Empires Biblically? Is this idea a foundational basis for present day susceptibility to deception? End of point. . . . as for Jonah, zero in on Jeroboam II (782-753 B. C./co-regency/41 years in the electronic source, Archer says 793-753 B. C. in his Introduction). Consult the historical background section of the Commentaries you select out of our list.
The reign of Jeroboam II is pivotal to the context of both Jonah and Amos. What are the key points to underscore in understanding the historical backdrop of these prophets and their respective proclamations?
1. The key nations (3) in the historical backdrop are the Northern Kingdom of Israel, Damascus (center of Aramean power), and Assyria.
2. Circa 797 B. C., Elisha spoke to the King of Israel about future victories over Damascus (2 Kings 13: 14-19).
3. The Assyrian military campaign against Damascus in 797 B. C. enables the King of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, Jehoash (798-782 B. C.), to recover territories previously lost to the King of Damascus (2 Kings 13:25).
4. Jonah prophesies the restoration of the Northern Kingdom under Jeroboam II predicted by Elisha (2 Kings 24:25). Internal troubles in Assyria enable Jeroboam II to complete the restoration of Israel’s northern borders.
5. The Northern Kingdom of Israel subsequently falls into a period of nationalistic arrogance, complacency, and spiritual decadence after the restoration under Jeroboam II. The prophetic implications are covered by Amos and Hosea. Amos prophesies an exile beyond Damascus (Amos 5:27). He will proclaim that God’s patience with the Northern Kingdom is at an end (Amos 7:8; 8:2). Hosea indicates that the tool of God’s judgment will be a politically and militarily revived Assyria (Hosea 9:3; 10:6; 11:5). It is in this context that God sends Jonah to Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, to warn it of the imminency of its own eventual judgment. Hint: To contextualize why Jonah attempted to run from God’s command and flee to Tarshish, run a Search Engine probe for “Assyrian Empire Cruelty.” This will bring up many fascinating articles, including one I just discovered for you at Realm of History. Or try this article from the Biblical Archeology Society (Jan/Feb 1991) which is in PDF format.
Christ in Jonah: Gleason Archer tells us in his Introduction to the Old Testament on page 313 that ” . . . one cannot reject the historicity of Jonah without also rejecting the authority of Christ.” See Matthew 12: 38-41 (and the Luke account). Hint: Isolate the word “sign” for further examination (σημεῖον). Jonah is the only prophet whom Jesus likened to Himself. What are the implications? Compare this account to the aforementioned John 7:52. Think Jonah and Jesus in terms of Typology. Further suggestion: The eschatological warnings about “signs and wonders“ in the New Testament. What are the implications? (For now, simply file this in your notes for future study.)
Matthew 12: The deeper implications of the word “sign” (σημεῖον) may lie within the pages of the revised version of the New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and Exegesis (Moises Silva, ed.)
Structure of the Book: Let’s keep this simple. Some of your commentaries will be more elaborate, but simplicity of structure is often best retained in the mind during study.
1. Jonah flees. (Chapters 1-2)
2. Jonah reluctantly fulfills. (Chapters 3-4)
Related structural issues: 40 verses tell the story of a single, extended episode. 8 additional verses cover Jonah’s prayer of thanksgiving, giving us a total of 48 verses. Jonah’s employment of structural symmetry and style are often compared to the Book of Ruth. The story is told in two parallel cycles (Chapters 1-2/Chapters 3-4) of comparisons and contrasts. There are 3 Confessions of Jonah (1:9; 2:9; 4:2.) The “Middle Confession” of 2:9 is decisive. It proclaims that “Salvation is of the Lord,” and emphasizes that the word of the Lord is the last and final word on anything.
Key Verses: 2: 8-9, and 4:2. (Last 2 Confessions of Jonah)
Key Chapter: Chapter 3. Revival in Nineveh.
Key Ideas for Discussion and Reflection: Is it possible to succeed in running away from God? Are there limits/no limits as to what God can use to get an individual’s attention? An Empire’s attention? Does failure disqualify someone from serving God? What are the consequences of running away from God? What is the experience of the individual who attempts it? Can nationalistic patriotism impede the relationship between the believer and God’s plan? Does Jonah’s testimony reveal a universal concern for all people on the part of the Biblical God? What are the implications of the fact that Nineveh responded to the preaching of Jonah better than the Northern Kingdom of Israel or the Southern Kingdom of Judah did with any of their prophets? Is there a prototypical parallel here with the various reactions to the preaching of the Kingdom of God by Jesus and His apostles recorded in the New Testament? Hint: Compare the reaction to the message of Jonah by the Ninevites to that of those who claimed to be the Sons of Abraham (John 8: 31-41). Implications? Is there a link to 722 B. C., 586 B. C., and A. D. 70? And possibly to Matthew 24/Mark 13/Luke 24/2 Thessalonians 2/Revelation 13?
We are now at the end of our first session together. It is my hope that this overview serves its purpose, not only as an introduction to the Book of Jonah, which we will examine in greater detail in future sessions by studying the text verse-by-verse and chapter-by-chapter, but as a Prototype for the Catacomb Church and the Homeschooling Community in covering any Biblical book. This process is essential to laying out the roadmap for all of the study, all of the discussions, and all of the developments for further study that will inevitably follow. Sometime in the future, I will develop a Prototype for a Topical Study in Scripture which will be shared with you when completed.
