The Final Move Beyond Iraq: The Final Solution While the World Sleeps (24 page)
The defining thought about a nuclear terrorist attack in the United States is that only about 5 percent of the ten million cargo containers entering U.S. ports each year are thoroughly inspected.
It is highly probable that Israel will attack Iran to destroy the country’s nuclear reactor before it is activated, just as it did in Iraq in 1980. The serious threat of a Muslim country with access to a nuclear weapon is a valid concern. The truth: Pakistan, a Muslim country, already possesses approximately fifty nuclear weapons, as well as materials for making at least that many more.
American military minds are deeply concerned about a nuclear attack in America. And Warren Buffet, well-known financier, says, “It will happen. It’s inevitable. I don’t see any way it won’t happen.”

Not if—but when.
The first Muslim elected to the United States Congress is a Democrat from Minneapolis with ties to an Islamic group….
Minnesota’s new Representative in the House, Keith Ellison, was endorsed and partly financed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a massive U.S.-based organization that avidly defends Osama bin Laden and other militant Islamic terrorists and considers U.S. action against terrorists anti-Islamic.

We cannot just allow [our moral values] to be frittered away because we’re unwilling to defend them. This, I think, is absolutely critical…our moral values will sustain us. Our values as a civilization, our religious values, will sustain us because they are civil values; they are tolerant values, and this, it seems to me, is the kind of thing that will enable all of us to pull together and sustain whatever efforts it takes to resist this attack on us.

he battle for the soul of America began with three terrorist attacks of the 1960s, the assassinations of three men: John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The murders of these three men were as devastating to that generation as was the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, or the attack on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001.
Just as the attack on Pearl Harbor plunged the United States into a global fight for freedom, the assassinations in the ’60s signaled the end of the age of innocence that had been enjoyed by the American people. Almost overnight, we went from
I Love Lucy, Leave It to Beaver,
and
Father Knows Best
to the proclamation that God was dead and Woodstock. Social revolution in the arts that initially seemed harmless—the Beatles, Mick Jagger and his Rolling Stones, the LSD craze—soon became a full frontal assault against traditional family values and an American culture steeped in the tenets of the Bible.
The Bible says, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). Rather than create freedom, the social revolution of the ’60s enslaved. People became addicted to drugs, sex, pornography, and strange philosophical/“spiritual” beliefs. Values based on Judeo-Christian mores were left behind as people turned to Eastern religions and New Age practices for answers to life’s biggest questions. Ouija boards supposedly provided insight for the searcher, Satanism saw a rise in practitioners, and we were subjected to the likes of Charles Manson and his demonic cult with a morbid fascination.

Most can remember the classic painting of Jesus standing outside a door waiting to be allowed entry. That poignant portrayal of Christ on the outside, wanting to fellowship with His creation, has never been more powerful than it is today. Prayer has been excised from schools, suits have been filed to force Congress to remove “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance, displays of the Ten Commandments have been removed from public buildings, and the motto “In God We Trust” is in danger of extinction. Teachers have been forbidden even to carry a personal Bible in view of students, Christian literature has been removed from library shelves, religious Christmas carols have been banned from school programs, and “spring break” has replaced the Easter vacation.
We can but ask ourselves: Are we better off today than we were in 1963 when, following a suit filed by Madalyn Murray O’Hair, the U.S. Supreme Court in an eight-to-one decision voted to ban “coercive” prayer and Bible-reading from public schools in America? Are our schools safer? Are fewer kids on drugs? Are fewer kids engaged in promiscuous sex? Are fewer crimes committed by school-age children?
Battle after battle has slowly stripped Christians in America of their rights. On July 19, 2004, after a lengthy fight, a 5,300-pound monument of the Ten Commandments was removed from the Alabama courthouse rotunda. Judge Roy O. Moore, who had championed the cry to leave the monument in place, was removed from office—all in the guise of the separation of church and state. The American courts that espouse such movements as “gay rights,” “abortion rights,” and even “animal rights” are now pursuing the right to be godless. I wrote in
The American Prophecies:
We have rejected the foundation of our culture that has traditionally held us together—God and the Holy Scriptures—and as our culture drifts away from that center, we…no longer hear His voice. As a nation, our innocence is being drowned. Things are falling apart. In our halls of justice, in our pulpits, and in the political arenas, those who would speak for God not only lack the conviction to be effective, they are being systematically silenced because of a perverted interpretation of “separation of church and state.” First Amendment rights are denied to those who would speak for God, while those who fight for self, special interest, and immorality are passionately intense…as the “spirit of the world” takes over…. We have witnessed this spirit being more active in our world than ever before through the “isms” of Fascism, Nazism, Communism, and terrorism—the greatest threats to human liberty we have ever faced.

When the first Continental Congress set out to write the document that would govern the fledgling United States, not one time did they adopt the words “separation of church and state.” It’s not there! Read it for yourself:
Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

In the twenty-first century, the courts of our land protect perversion while chastising the church. The writers of the Constitution would likely be amazed at the interpretation of the document over which they shed blood, sweat, and tears, and appalled at the lack of moral clarity in America today. The men who approved the purchase of Bibles with congressional funds, the men who regularly called for national days of prayer and fasting, the men who appointed Senate chaplains, would mourn the path down which succeeding Congresses and Supreme Courts have taken this once-proud nation.
The social revolution of the ’60s echoed Nietzsche’s declaration, “God is dead.” John Lennon proclaimed that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus.

magazine reporter John T. Elson wrote, “There is an acute feeling that the churches on Sunday are preaching about the existence of a God who is nowhere visible in their daily lives,”

and questioned the dedication of professing Christians. According to Elson’s article, God had been replaced by science, and the church had become “secularized.”
With the lack of moral clarity in the secularized church, is there any wonder that the malaise has spread to the governing bodies of this nation? The bedrock foundation of the faith of our fathers has been replaced with shifting sands. The sacrifices of those who have gone before, from the War of Independence that birthed this nation to the war on terror birthed on 9/11, have been diminished. The blood of dead soldiers, patriots from the past, cries to us from battlefields around the world. These men and women sacrificed all to insure freedom for all. Perhaps Dr. James Dobson summed it up most succinctly when he admonished: “We’re at a pivotal point in the history of this country. Be a participant. Don’t sit on the sidelines while our basic freedoms are lost.”

We all vividly remember the horrifying pictures of New York City following the World Trade Center attack on 9/11. Clouds of black smoke rushed through the cement canyons of that vibrant city, leaving death and destruction in their wake. The vision of people jumping from the windows of the burning and collapsing buildings will be forever etched in our minds.
Natural disasters in recent years have produced equally nightmarish memories—the wall of water in the tsunami that devastated parts of South Asia in December 2004; Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged the Gulf Coast in August 2005. But none can compare with the amoral blanket of darkness that has settled over America. We see it in movies, television, magazines, and on billboards; we hear it in music that seems to possess the listener; we shoot it into our veins, smoke it in a pipe, or down it from a bottle. It’s the epitome of evil.
The “anything goes” sexual revolution of the ’60s was fueled by such “scientific studies” as the Kinsey Report—a man who sexually abused children in the name of science—and fed by the likes of Hugh Hefner’s “Playboy philosophy.” The advent of the Internet only served to make the sexual revolution more readily available.
Internet pornography alone is a $57 billion industry worldwide, $12 billion in the United States alone. According to
Internet Filter Review
, “U.S. porn revenue exceeds the combined revenues of ABC, NBC, and CBS (6.2 billion).”

The average age of a child exposed to pornography on the Internet is eleven years old, and a staggering 90 percent of eight-to sixteen-year-olds have viewed pornography online (most while doing homework).
Another favorite pastime of the morally decadent is to try to bring God down to their level. Taking the constitutional edict that “all men are created equal,” they have applied it to religion and have declared that all religions are the same. “We are all going to the same place,” they say. “We’re just taking different roads to get there.” Sin has been banished from our vocabulary, the cross of Christ has been reduced to costume jewelry (the gaudier the better), and the blood of Christ has been counted as worthless. Religions that once elicited horror, Satanism and witchcraft, are accorded equality with Judaism and Christianity, and are, in fact, featured in the religion sections of the newspaper. And who would have thought that Anton LeVey’s
Satanic Bible
would have become a collector’s item, sometimes selling for as much as $1,000 per copy?
It has often been said that human beings have a God-shaped hole in their hearts, a place that can only be filled by a relationship with their Creator. It is a spiritual law written on a tablet of flesh. Those who try to fill that void with everything imaginable—drugs, sex, pornography, alcohol, perversion, pagan religions—are only lying to themselves.
There is neither time nor space to fully discuss stem cell research, the divorce plague, fatherless families, the “feminism mystique” of Gloria Steinem, child abuse, and other such issues. All, however, have played a part in secular America’s slide into depravity and debauchery. And the starkest reality of all is that the secularized church has often concurred. Isaiah 5:20 says:
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
We have clearly reached the point that the apostle Paul expressed in his first letter to Timothy:
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

4:1–2
No? When did you last weep for an abuse victim, mourn the senseless death of an innocent and defenseless child, reach out to a battered wife, or donate to a clinic that offers an alternative to abortion?
The genie of evil has been let out of the bottle. America has sown the wind and is reaping the whirlwind. Babies die daily, aborted, sacrificed on the altar of self-interest. Abortion has become a valid means of birth control for many women. Have a one-night stand, get pregnant—no problem! Take a morning-after pill or run down to the abortion clinic on the corner. After all, it’s only “tissue,” not a real baby. It’s a fetus, not a child fearfully and wonderfully made. Is there any wonder that Dr. Billy Graham said that if America failed to repent of her evil, God would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah?

On September 11, 2001, America met evil head-on when nineteen Islamic fanatics commandeered four American airliners and piloted two into the World Trade Towers and a third into the Pentagon. The fourth airliner, likely headed for a target in Washington DC, was retaken by passengers and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. It was our first taste of the hatred of jihad as preached by radical Islamic clerics.
Immediately following the attack, the politically correct were hard at work to avoid calling a terrorist a terrorist. Some objected to the use of the words
Islamic
or
Muslim
in describing these mass murders. Others objected to the use of the word
terrorist
. While the American public was traumatized and paralyzed by the horrific events, members of the American press were locked in a debate over how not to offend a particular segment of society. A memo from Reuter’s news department written by Stephen Jukes admonished his department not to use the word
terrorist
. He wrote, “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”

Never mind that Osama bin Laden had issued an edict calling on every
Muslim
to kill Americans.
Before the dust had settled over New York City and the fires were extinguished at the Pentagon, these spin doctors were outlining their campaign to thwart any attempt to hunt down those responsible for the carnage. What followed in the weeks after 9/11 was a succession of antiwar demonstrations reminiscent of the Vietnam era, a series of peace vigils, and other protests. America was declared guilty of aggression, having deserved the attacks due to some perceived ill against Islam and/or its adherents. Those not blaming the United States found another scapegoat in Israel. Why was it so hard to place the blame precisely where it belonged, on a group of radical Islamofascists spouting a hate-filled ideology and killing innocent people?
