Introduction
The author, Pastor John Weaver, emphasizes that the Word of God is relevant in every area of life, including self-defense, and provides guidance and principles for this subject. The message includes historical background on self-defense, such as the recommendation by the Continental Congress for men to carry arms and ammunition to public worship during the war for independence. The Pastor also explores the sixth commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” and its positive and negative aspects, which imply the obligation to preserve life and defend oneself and others. The message includes scriptural admonitions related to self-defense and aims to provide a biblical perspective on this important topic.

Here, you’ll learn about the historical and scriptural background of self-defense and how it is relevant in every area of life. The sixth commandment, “Thou shalt not murder,” will be explored in depth.
Three Common Questions:
1. What are some scriptural admonitions related to self-defense?
2. How does the Word of God cover every principle in every subject, including self-defense?
3. Can you provide more information on the historical background of self-defense?
1 What are some scriptural admonitions related to self-defense?
There are several scriptural admonitions related to self-defense. One example is in Matthew 10:31, where Jesus says, “Fear you not? You have more value than many sparrows.” This implies that it is right to defend oneself and the lives of others. Additionally, the positive aspect of the sixth commandment, “Thou shalt preserve life,” supports the obligation of self-defense and defense of others according to the law of God.
2 How does the Word of God cover every principle in every subject, including self-defense?
The Word of God is relevant in every area of life and covers every principle in every subject. This includes self-defense, which is explored in depth in the biblical doctrine of self-defense. The sixth commandment, “Thou shalt not murder,” has both a negative and positive aspect, which implies the obligation to preserve life and defend oneself and others. Therefore, the Word of God provides guidance and principles for self-defense and other areas of life.
3 Here are some historical background on self-defense. During the war for independence, the provincial Congress or the Continental Congress recommended that all men within 20 miles of the seacoast carry their arms and ammunition with them to the meeting house on the Lord’s Day and all other days of public worship. This was discovered to be wise during the war, and it suggests that our forefathers were biblical and right in their approach to self-defense.

Summary of these Two Sermons
Yes, according to Pastor Weaver, self-defense is necessary at certain times. The author argues that it is not only biblical, but also obligatory to defend oneself, one’s family, friends, and neighbors, even to the point of taking life if necessary. The author cites several Bible verses to support this argument and addresses objections to the biblical doctrine of self-defense.

Communism and the New World Order
Get Control by Controlling the Religion of the People
In the 1930s and 1940s, Bella Dodd served as a key figure in the Communist Party of America (CPUSA). She explains in her 1954 book “School of Darkness” that communism was a fraud started by financiers “to control the common man” and to achieve global dictatorship. Naturally, there are no second-hand bookshops or copies of this significant book still in existence. (I discovered it via interlibrary borrowing.)
Maria Asunta Isabella Visono, the mother of Bella Dodd, was born in Italy in 1904. She is an accomplished woman who earned degrees from Hunter College and NYU Law School. She became leadership of the New York State Teachers Union and served on the National Council of the CPUSA until 1949.
Communism is referred to by Dodd as “a strange secret cult” that seeks to eradicate Western (i.e. Christian) civilization. Its claims of assisting the poor deceive millions of naive idealists (referred to as “innocents”), but it simply cares about gaining power. For instance, Dodd discovered that party headquarters did not do any sociological research. She was informed, “We are a revolutionary party, not a reform party. (163)
“HUMAN BEINGS THAT WOULD CONFORM”
The Communist Party manipulates society through infiltrating and overthrowing governmental, religious, educational, and mass media organisations. “To create new types of human beings who would conform to the blueprint of the world they confidently expected to control.” was its stated goal. (162)
For instance, Dodd indicates that in the 1930s, 1100 members of the CPUSA were ordained as Catholic priests. By acquiring control of the teacher’s unions and academic societies, it also undermined the American educational system. The “materialistic, collectivistic international class struggle approach” was only adopted by those who wanted to develop. (98)
Women’s participation in the military effort suited the long-term plan:
“The party did everything it could to encourage women to enter the workforce. Its musicians composed unique tunes to inspire them, and its fashion designers produced unique looks only for them. They intended for conditions from the time of the war to be a constant component of the next educational curriculum. The bourgeois family was to be rendered obsolete as a social structure. (153)
Other than the party and the state, there was not to be a family. Dodd participated in the Congress of American Women’s planning, which was the beginning of the feminist movement.
Since it was ostensibly a movement for peace, many women were drawn to it. But in reality, it was just a fresh campaign to subjugate American women. Since they are more susceptible to emotional appeals than young and minority groups, they are seen as a reserve force for the revolution. (194-195)
THE 1930s saw THE COMPLETION OF THE US SUBVERSION
FDR purposefully ignored the vast espionage and subversion operation of the CPUSA when he recognised Russia in 1933. Liberals disputed this occurred and lamented a “witch hunt.” What’s this? The “loony right” was on the money. The CPUSA was a puppet of Moscow, according to a new book (The Secret World of American Communism, based on recently revealed Kremlin records, and the Roosevelt and Truman administrations were essentially governed by Soviet operatives, including Alger Hiss, Harry Hopkins, and Harry Dexter White, to name a few.
The CPUSA essentially abandoned the class fight during the war years and allied with the “progressive capitalists” in the so-called “Roosevelt camp of progress.”
“The Communist Party was now charged with imposing strict discipline on the working class. While wages did increase slightly during those years, they did not keep up with increases in profits and monopoly control of necessities. War production was primarily controlled by ten large corporations. The Communists carefully masked this information. No employer was more effective or tenacious in stopping strikes among the workers or minimising complaints. (153)
Amazing cooperation between the Communist Party and America’s financial aristocracy was visible during the war years. The Russian Institute, a highly developed propagandist organisation, was funded by the elite and was situated on Park Avenue across from Rockefeller’s Council on Foreign Relations on 68th Street. In this place, “renowned names like Vanderbilt, Lamont, Whitney, and Morgan mixed alongside those of Communist leaders.(153)
Stalin “dissolved” the Comintern at Roosevelt’s request in order to make the CPUSA seem to be an American political party. Earl Browder, the CPUSA’s leader, rose to national prominence and conferred with important Roosevelt cabinet members.
The foundation of the new world order was to be the united US-Russian military effort. However, for whatever reason, the rule was altered, and Browder immediately ceased to exist. It appears that the financial elite concluded that now was not the time for a global government. Cold war profits would be substantially higher. Dodd was informed that the party would frequently find itself at odds with both the government and American workers in the future.
“I now saw that with the best intentions and a desire to help the working people, I and thousands like me had been led to a betrayal of these very people. I had been on the side of those who sought the destruction of my own country,” the speaker said. (229)
The CPUSA membership raced to embrace the new party line like scared mice. When Dodd attempted to leave, he was told: “No one leaves the party. You either pass away or are expelled. (197)
Dodd was eventually kicked out and defamed for being “anti-Negro, anti-Puerto Rican, anti-Semitic, anti-labor, and a defender of the landlord.” (220). Sounds recognisable? She had no relatives or friends after twenty years of unceasing effort. Her family had been the gathering. The “hates of it had become my hates.”
“This is the secret to enslaving humanity’s minds. The person is transformed into nothing; he functions as [a] higher group intelligence’s physical component; he is unaware of the higher group intelligence’s plans for using him. (158)
The phrase “A SECRET WELL-ORGANIZED WORLD POWER”
Regarding the individuals running the Communist Party, Bella Dodd exercised caution. If she lost communication with Moscow, she was once instructed to call two multimillionaires who reside in the Waldorf Towers. In other passages, she talks about “a secret well-organized world power.” It is clear that she is reluctant to be open. She believes that the “suicide” of one CPUSA leader was actually murder. (172)
But she does offer a potential hint. She claims that CPUSA business was conducted on each of the nine levels of the party-owned headquarters at 35 E. 12th St. The Jewish Commission’s and the Yiddish newspaper’s publishing offices were located on the sixth floor. (162) Indeed, a large portion of Communist dupes were Jews.
What suddenly became obvious to me was the cooperation between these two forces: the Communists with their plan to take over the globe and those mercenary groups operating in the free world who want to profit from human suffering. (229)
Dodd describes the tale of the ship “Erica Reed” as “one piece of the puzzle that finally became a picture,” characteristic of “hundreds of other stories.” Americans raised funds during the Spanish Civil War to fill the ship with food and medical supplies for Spain. The ship was redirected to Russia by the Communists. (89)
According to Dodd, censorship is essential to Communists. I frequently witness leaders removing books from house shelves while admonishing followers to burn them.(223)
In essence, communism is an international elite control system that is dishonest. During the McCarthy period, it wasn’t repressed. Instead, it evolved into the New Left, Counter Culture, Civil Rights, Anti-War, and Women’s Liberation Movements. Later, it evolved into a variety of elite-sponsored NGO’s, media, Democratic and Republican party factions, Liberal, Zionist, Labour, and Gay Rights organisations. These organisations are run from the top down, much like the CPUSA itself, thus its members are unaware of how they are being exploited.
Dodd cites instances where the CPUSA purportedly backed initiatives they sought to undermine in response to the criticism that some of the aforementioned organisations reject globalisation. (205)
In conclusion, communism was/is a scheme to replace God’s dominion with a cabal of the wealthy. It is a utopian hoax concocted by the wealthy to crush the hopes of common people and stall the advancement of humanity. Most conflicts, including the next assault on Iraq, are being carried out by the same gang.
Communism, a forerunner of the future global system, deceives us by promoting brotherhood, peace, and equality. It now controls the eyes, ears, intellect, and soul of society. A large portion of what is presented as fact in the media and in schools is a part of this heinous fraud. In America, the phrase “politically correct” is frequently used. This phrase originated with the Communist Party. Most of our politicians are traitors.
Both in its roots and its spirit, feminism is communist. It claims to support women but in reality neuters both sexes and dismantles the family, which is the foundational social structure. This blatant elitist scam intended to “create new types of human beings who would conform” also includes the marketing of homosexuality as a “lifestyle choice” for heterosexuals.
The people aboard Western Civilization are like a ship lost in a sea of evil, but they are too deceived and preoccupied to realise it. 50 years ago, Bella Dodd had the guts to raise the alarm. It is never too late to start opposing oppression.

Robert F. Kennedy Exposed
You Might Want to Listen to This Before You Vote for Kennedy

Decide for yourself. Warning, Dr Shiva uses the “F” word, so keep that in mind. When you hear when he uses it, it shows that he is really mad about all the liars he’s exposing. There are some things you may disagree with, as I did, but the important message is the exposing of those who many people think are the “heroes” that will save America.
Anti-Free Speech in Russia
No Free Speech When It Comes to World War II
Yes, there is a law in Russia that prohibits the public denial of Nazi crimes and the distortion of the Soviet Union’s role in World War II. The law, known as the Law Against Rehabilitation of Nazism, is Federal Law no. 128-FZ of May 5, 2014 “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation.” was passed and makes these acts punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
The law defines “Nazi crimes” as “crimes committed by the Nazi regime and its collaborators during World War II, including the Holocaust, the mass extermination of Soviet citizens, and the enslavement of the peoples of Europe.” The law also defines “distortion of the Soviet Union’s role in World War II” as “the dissemination of information that contradicts the facts established in the Nuremberg trials or that falsely presents the Soviet Union’s role in the war.”
The law has been criticized by some human rights groups, who argue that it is too broad and could be used to silence legitimate historical debate. However, the Russian government has defended the law, arguing that it is necessary to protect the country’s historical memory.
The legal reference for the Law Against Rehabilitation of Nazism is Federal Law no. 128-FZ of May 5, 2014 “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation.”
Here are some examples of the types of statements that could be considered violations of the Law Against Rehabilitation of Nazism:
* Denying that the Holocaust happened.
* Claiming that the Soviet Union was responsible for the Holocaust.
* Asserting that the Soviet Union did not play a major role in defeating Nazi Germany.
* Minimizing the number of Soviet citizens who died in World War II.
It is important to note that the law does not prohibit all criticism of the Soviet Union’s role in World War II. It only prohibits statements that are considered to be false or misleading. For example, it would not be a violation of the law to criticize the Soviet Union’s use of mass starvation as a weapon of war.
Notice, you can’t discuss the holocaust of Christians, as this would be exposing what the Communist did against Christians. You see, we don’t count, but another group (you guess) does count!
As you can see, there is no freedom of speech in Russia – at least regarding this matter. EU, Canada and the US has their anti-free speech topics that you can’t discuss.
Now, regarding Russia’s law, it seems to be OK for Russia to cover up its crimes during WWII. They set the “facts” and you can’t disagree with it.
White people have a bad case of cogitative dissonance, sad to say. Here is an example: you still have statues in some cities Russia of Lenin but that seems to be OK.
In Belarus, you see statues of Lenin, and in the metro (their underground, subway system), there are the Communist symbols as well as Communist flags. When an average citizen is asked why, they respond by saying, “This is part of our history, whether we like it or not,” or words to that effect.
Now, what would the average Russian or Belarus person say, if Germany still have the swastika or statues of Hitler on the street? What would a jew say? They would go ballistic! The jews would say that it’s a hate symbol, and it is for that reason it’s illegal to have this in Germany and many other European countries, too. You can be fined and go to prison. But not for the antichrist communist symbol! Why? Because a certain group really do support it, which means supporting all the murdering, torture and imprisonment it caused.
It’s about time Christians everywhere rise up.
