Christianity as a partner of the elites! - of course, this is nothing new insofar as American Christianity is concerned. It has been sponsored in America's "CLIENT-STATE" system for a very long time by such groups as the Rockefeller Foundation, Swift and Co., the Olin Foundation, Occidental Oil, etc., AND THE RESULT TO TRUE CHRISTIANITY - TO THE CHRISTIANITY OF THE HUMBLE CARPENTER OF NAZARETH [of whom the Bible spoke: "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head" (Luke 9:58)] - HAS BEEN DISASTROUS!!
Take, for example, the way the Wycliffe Bible Translators have allowed themselves to be used by the corporate elites and the CIA in America's system of South American "CLIENT STATES" as "pamphleteers," as "information gatherers," and as "fronts" for the CIA. And then there's the way that Christian missionaries allowed themselves to be used as "toadies" by the Calero brothers, Enrique Bermudez, Oliver North, Elliot Abrams, etc. in Reagan's Contra War - an effort that totally duped people like Pat Robertson, Tim LaHaye, and such “Seed Faith” luminaries as Larry Lea, Cubie Ward, Phil Derstein (who is closely associated with Oral Roberts) and various others of that ilk - people who could with Paralife evangelist John Steer (who spent a short time as a pastor to Salvadoran government soldiers and "Death Squad" functionaries) make the bizarre and hideous statement that -
“Killing for the joy of it is wrong, but killing ... against an anti-Christ system ... (is) not only right but the duty of every Christian.” http://www.endtimesnetwork.com/crt_nws.html
