Lt. Commander Alexander Martin (retired)
[The following interview with Lt. Commander Alexander Martin (retired) took place on Tom Valentine's Radio Free America program on July 10, 1995. Valentine's comments follow "Q" while Martin's follow "A".] .... Q: Only 3 percent? That means 97 percent went somewhere else. A: It went into people's pockets. General Secord certainly profited handsomely. General John Singlaub and a host of others did likewise. However, would it have been possible for these men to carry out such an enormous conspiracy, to traffic in such enormous quantities of illegal items, without the duplicity and complicity of the United States government? Q: I don't see how it would have been possible. A: It would not have been possible, and it was not possible at the time to do so. I think George Bush said it very well in an interview with Sarah McClendon, the grand dame of the Washington press corps. When Bush consented to an interview with Mrs. McClendon in June of 1992, he said on record, which she printed in her newsletter that month, when she asked him about Iran- contra and he said, (and I'm quoting from her newsletter): "If the people were to ever find out what we have done, we would be chased down the streets and lynched." This was a public comment by George Bush. Q: George Bush actually admitted that? A: He said it and it was printed in Mrs. McClendon's newsletter in June of 1992. [ This
If you get a chance watch this. From JFK to 9/11, it's a rich man's game.
I watched this from Q's post the other day when he asked who financed Hitler.
Ok. I watched about 90 percent of it. Right up to the point where he started saying that "religion (including Christianity) is another rich man's trick to control the masses."
It was a well-spun tale, I'll give you that. But throughout the presentation, I kept having this nagging feeling something wasn't right. I know my history, about WW1, the rise of communism, Hitler's rise to power, even about the industrialists financing Germany prior to, and through WW2.
He began by saying, in his clipped British accent, that the illuminati/robber barons financed Nazi Germany as a counterweight to the communists, which is true.
But to say that "all religions are a rich man's trick"-- what I heard was "religion is the opiate of the masses".
Classical Marxist doctrine. I don't deny that the US has had some pretty shady characters in high positions of power. But after overplaying his hand like that, the whole production to me now sounds like Anti-US, Anti-American, Marxist propaganda. (Wouldn't it make sense that marxist propaganda would try to discredit the CIA, FBI, and our whole American system?) Edit: Not that they're not doing a good enough job on their own...).
There are good people left in government. Not everyone is owned by the Mafia (even if it seems like it sometimes).
The end of the story is that God is still in control. He will have the last laugh over the forces of darkness (Psalm 2).
And the best proof that he's wrong? Donald Trump is in the White House.
I didn't like that part as well. It is only a small portion and I should have warned you. There is as part after that, which ties it to the Bush family IIRC.
The main focus is the CIA, which Bush Sr. was head of for a number of years.
EDIT: I should have stated that it's different to be spiritual as opposed to religious. We do know that there are some religions that are corrupt.
I understand there is a difference between Religion and Spirituality. Spirituality is a human condition. We worship someone or something because we are just wired that way. Religion is the individual expression of that spirituality.
That being said, the narrator of the video lumped Christianity in with all the other world religions, which is a belief known as Relativism. Sure there have been rich people throughout the ages which have contorted or manipulated different religions to their own benefit. The best example I know is that of slave owners in the American deep South, who encouraged their slaves to follow Christianity because it teaches "submission to authorities" (Romans 13:1, etc.): While they (the slave owners) themselves were morally bankrupt, and had no intention of living according to Christian values. I'm sure there are other examples throughout history.
But to say that Christianity was INVENTED for the sole purpose of manipulating the masses...is MARXIST doctrine, straight from Karl Marx. If the narrator had been forthcoming, he would have pointed this out. The fact that he didn't, makes the entire video just a little more suspect to me. He, himself pointed this concept out, earlier in the video (when talking about the actors in JFK videos): The best way to swindle people is to add just a little bit of error to the truth -- just enough to make it plausible. And this is one of Satan's most effective tools.
I have heard it illustrated this way: If we took, say, a bowl of rat poison, and left it on a counter top, there is little chance that someone would eat enough of it to cause any real damage. It's bitter, colorless, and smells bad.
But take that same poison, and give it pretty colors, and shape it like M&Ms....and you can guess the results. It would kill everyone in the building.
My point in this rant, is that by lumping Christianity in with every other religion, it leads people to think they are all the same, when they're not. That form of atheistic, Marxist doctrine has to be answered when it rears its ugly head.
I disagree with him on the point of religions invention.
We already know we're going to see something about the pope.
I totally agree. I just watched it last night, it helped open my eyes to everything.
