The world is now dealing with a crisis which each nation is trying to solve it by itself. A large segment of the population in the United States is gripped with fear and this is manifested by the panic buying that is occurring. As unlikely as it may seem, people have decided to stock up on toilet paper and paper towels and stores are struggling to keep up with the demand. Each shipment the stores receive is cleaned out within a few hours. Toilet paper and paper towels have no correlation to the Coronavirus and I am at loss over this logic. There is also mass purchasing of food, medical supplies, and bottled water, leaving many stores with empty shelves.

DISINFORMATION

Every nation has an intelligence service and they are responsible for the disinformation that is released. These departments are usually large, since a nation can perform covert warfare by releasing false information. When teamed up with the mainstream media, this is the fake news that has been utilized against President Trump.

Billionaires like George Soros are using their fortunes to discredit and derail Donald Trump in an effort to defeat his nationalist agenda of putting America first. In 2016, Hillary Clinton hired Perkins Coie LLP, an international law firm headquartered in Seattle, Washington. They represent the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic Leadership Council, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Other political clients include nearly all Democratic members of the United States Congress and the presidential campaigns of John Kerry and Barack Obama.

The DNC and Clinton wanted to find something scandalous on Donald Trump that could be used to smear and destroy his presidential aspirations. They did not want to do it directly in order to deny involvement. Perkins Coie was used to hire a political company called Fusion GPS, which is listed as a commercial research and strategic intelligence firm.

Fusion GPS in turn hired Christopher Steele, a former British MI-6 agent turned private British corporate intelligence investigator, to contact Russian sources and acquire something scandalous on Trump. The Russian sources turned out to be the FSB, the intelligence service of Russia. Once the FSB figured out the sort of information Christopher Steele was seeking, they supplied him with a 35 page dossier of memos from unknown Russian sources alleging that Donald Trump and his campaign staff had been working with the Russians for help in the 2016 presidential election process. The fabled dossier was never verified and contained only rumors.

Fusion GPS turned over the FSB generated dossier to Marc Elias, an election attorney working for Perkins Coie. A copy was turned over to Senator John McCain, who felt that it was his duty to turn over the dossier to the FBI. David Corn, a reporter with Mother Jones, was also supplied with a copy of the dossier. Jones also turned in his copy to the FBI.

The director for the FBI at this time was James Comey. Even though he knew the dossier was not verified and basically consisted of rumors, Comey filed an application with the FISA court in Washington D.C. to legally spy on certain people in the Trump organization.[1] It was also used to launch the Muller investigation to determine if Trump had colluded with the Russians to win the election.

The much anticipated Muller report was finally released on April 18, 2019 which exonerated President Trump and his team of any conspiracy with the Russians. The report came with a hefty price tag of 32 million dollars.

LIARS IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING

When I began to research Biblical prophecy and political events in 1975, I encountered a number of “ministers” who claimed to set the record straight and present a new truth. Time would reveal them to be agents of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and/or occult organizations to sow discord and confusion among Christians. I want to share my personal encounter with such people.

JOHNNY TODD

Jack Chick was a gifted artist and an extremely successful evangelist. He developed cartoon tracts that became popularly known as “Chick tracts.” His first one was called “This Was Your Life” and millions of copies were printed and used by churches and Christians to bring people to Christ.

Chick’s ministry came to the attention of people hostile to Christianity and a decision was made to send an infiltrator with disinformation that Chick would include in his tracts. Johnny Todd arrived around 1971 with the story that he came from a prominent occult family. He had recently become a Christian and wanted to expose the occult. Jack produced a “Crusader” comic book series based on Todd’s information.

A thief will steal from you and a murderer will kill you, but you never know where you stand with a liar. Some of the things Johnny Todd said were true, while others were fabricated lies. I was part of the group that exposed Todd in 1978 and I have documented my research and response to Johnny Todd. Just as intended, Jack Chick lost credibility among the Christians.

ALBERTO RIVERA

Alberto Rivera claimed to be a former Roman Catholic priest. He too proved to be a fraud but not before he fed sensational lies to Jack Chick, who published a number of Crusader comic books based upon the information supplied by Rivera. Jack Chick’s embrace of Alberto Rivera in the late 1970s further damaged his credibility and standing in the Christian community. I did not write any articles about Rivera.

REBECCA BROWN, M.D.

Jack Chick’s ministry reminds me of the ocean liners that were attacked by Nazi submarines during World War II. They hunted in packs and fired a measured spread of torpedoes to ensure maximum destruction. One would think that Jack Chick would exercise more discernment after being deceived twice but then Rebecca Brown showed up on the scene the early 1980’s with a woman she claimed to have rescued from witchcraft. Chick published two books based upon information from Rebecca and Elaine, a former witch. “He Came to Set the Captives Free” was published in 1986 and “Prepare For War” followed a year later. I personally met Rebecca at a seminar and published my findings in The Dove magazine in the late 1980’s.

Jack Chick’s ministry never recovered after these three attacks and he died in 2016. Jack had been grooming David W. Daniels for a number of years to take over after his death and Chick Publications continues to operate today.

CARL SANDERS

Carl Sanders came to our church in the fall of 1993, claiming to be the inventor of the microchip. Since some of the larger churches in Sacramento had featured him as a speaker, I assumed he was speaking the truth. Assumption is deadly and eventually irregularities began to surface in his story and I found out he was a fraud. Just like Todd, Rivera, and Brown, Carl Sanders was an agent tasked with spreading disinformation.

FRITZ SPRINGMEIER

Someone put Fritz Springmeier on the mailing list for The Dove in 1992. He began sending me material about prophecy and politics from time to time and spoke on the telephone. He wrote me a blistering letter in November 1993, blasting me for my exposé of Johnny Todd.

I did not know at the time that Springmeier was a dangerous man, who had been retained by the CIA as an agent of disinformation. I would find out later that he used this connection to protect himself from charges of ritualistic child abuse, raping of women and bank robbery.

Fritz decided to bury the hatchet when he found out that both of us were to be speakers at a conference in May of 1995. He was scheduled to speak on mind control and I was able to talk to him for a few hours, meet with his assistant Kurt Billings, and the two women he had brought. He claimed they had been part of a CIA mind control program and he was helping them to be set free. I asked Fritz to corroborate the claims he was making but he did not have the documentation with him and said he would mail the proof. This was an empty promise.

A number of people contacted me in 1998 and told me about bizarre behavior exhibited by Springmeier and how he was sexually taking advantage of the women coming to him for help. An investigation revealed his criminal past, different marriages, child abuse, and involvement in bank robbery that eventually landed him in federal prison.

Fritz had advertised himself as a deprogrammer of people who had been involved in the CIA program called MK-Ultra. A number of ministries helped spread the news. What no one knew at that time was that Fritz was working for the CIA, and instead of helping the women, he brought them deeper into bondage and effectively silenced them.

THE AGE OF THE INTERNET

All of the aforementioned liars operated before the age of the internet. Meaning, it was necessary to network with other human beings to cross reference facts. The internet has made that much easier today.

Ironically, over the years I have noted that there are a number of websites operated by the CIA and other intelligence services. People in the occult have taken advantage of the internet to set up websites that are designed to deceive people and bring them into the snare of Satan.

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, created and edited by volunteers around the world. Yet I have noticed many times that someone is tweaking articles to provide disinformation. Let me provide you with an example.

The nine year war between Iraq and Iran occurred when President Reagan was in office. The United States supplied both Iran and Iraq with military aid. American policy on this matter was to bleed Iran and Iraq so that they remained weak.

The nation of Kuwait had in the past been part of Iraq and Saddam Hussein wanted to reunite with this oil rich nation. In consulting with the American ambassador, he was told that the United States would not interfere if he invaded Kuwait. This was a trap and he gullibly walked into it, resulting in the first Gulf War and the decimation of Iraq’s military forces. Hussein realized that if he wanted to play the game more effectively, he needed a backchannel for direct contact with Washington. The CIA was more than happy to accommodate and a woman named Susan Lindauer was hired as an “asset” for the CIA.

Lindauer was a democrat and an antiwar activist who worked as a staff member for Representatives Peter DeFazio (D) and Ron Wyden (D). In 1994 she was hired as a press secretary and speechwriter for Senator Carol Moseley Braun (D). She also worked as a press secretary for Representative Zoe Lofgren (D) in 2002. I share this information to show that Lindauer was not a mental basket case that she is now seemingly portrayed to be by the CIA.

Saddam Hussein was told to use Susan Lindauer as a go-between to the CIA, which in turn would speak to the White House. Hussein did not want any more war and sent messages via Lindauer to the CIA that he was willing to give up all his chemical weapons of mass destruction. Weapon inspectors were sent to Iraq to find and destroy them, and by 2000, all weapons of mass destruction had been destroyed.

The 9/11 attack saw President Bush looking to find the culprit and retaliate. Even though the evidence showed that the terrorists who commandeered the airplanes that flew into the twin towers were from Saudi Arabia and members of Al-Qaida, it was decided to put the blame on Saddam Hussein.

The Israeli government had long wanted the United States to topple Saddam’s régime because they had not forgotten the many Scud missiles which were pointed at Israel.

Saddam and his government frantically contacted Susan Lindauer with the message that he did not want a war, he had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack, and he wanted to get along with the United States. Nevertheless, President Bush demonized Saddam Hussein and the mainstream media in the United States egged him on. The American war machine invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003, and toppled Saddam and his régime.

Lindauer dutifully made a lot of noise and contacted senators, congressmen and even the White House. She wanted them all to know that Hussein did not want war. After all, he had opened Iraq for American investigators to determine who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. In doing her job, Lindauer became a liability for the CIA.

Early in the morning of March 11, 2004, she was awakened by FBI agents knocking on her door. Orders had come from the White House that Lindauer must be silenced. She was arrested and denied a trial on the basis that the evidence against her was top secret and would jeopardize the security of the United States. She was transferred to a federal prison in Texas. Her attorneys argued for a trial, but the government steadfastly refused. At times Lindauer was sent to a mental facility where they gave her strong drugs even though she was not mentally ill. Her attorneys fought to get her back in a regular prison.

Four years later on September 15, 2008, a federal judge finally declared her mentally incompetent to stand trial. She would be incarcerated for another four months until the Justice Department dismissed all charges on January 15, 2009. The presidency had been protected and it was no longer vital to keep her in prison as George W. Bush was leaving the office on January 20, 2009.

Susan Lindauer entered a new phase where she was free but now her reputation was smeared and she was vilified for telling the truth. According to the government, she was a liar and mentally unstable because she spoke about things that never happened.

You can see for yourself what the agents of disinformation have written about Lindauer on Wikipedia. If you want to read her side of the story, she has a self-published book titled, “Extreme Prejudice: The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover-Ups of 9/11 and Iraq.”

I have provided this egregious example since I have never forgotten it when I examined it nine years ago. It isn’t just private individuals that can create and edit articles on Wikipedia. The FBI and CIA have that ability too. Anyone is allowed this privilege. That means Wikipedia can be a great source for information, but it is also a breeding ground for lies and disinformation.

WARFARE AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP

There are bloggers, websites, conservative commentators, self-proclaimed Christian prophets who are spreading lies about Trump on a daily basis. They are proliferating rumors that Trump is a secret agent of the Kabbalistic Jews. Some say he is a member of the world government, while others are linking him to European black nobility and tying him to all kinds of occult activities. According to these conspiracy theorists, there is no end to Trump’s evil actions.

I believe that many of these so-called “truth tellers” are really trolls working for the CIA, whose goal is to spread false claims to the American people. The people being targeted are Trump supporters. In order to defeat Trump in the 2020 election, the trolls must discourage the nationalistic voters and separate them from Trump. This will seem weird to anyone without a criminal mind but I can assure you it is happening.

Manufacturers will market their products to customers willing to buy them. There is an advertisement industry of professional people who will take a product and market it on radio, television, and the internet. It is the same with politicians. Michael Bloomberg spent over 500 million dollars on television and internet ads in an effort to get people to vote for him. His advertisement agency made very nice videos, but Bloomberg was not well liked, and he could not buy the necessary votes.

Political advertisements do not contain truth; their purpose is to embellish and/or smear. Internet trolls function the same way. Their goal is publish a lie, get people to embrace it, and think they have the truth.

The Nazis set up a sign over the entrance to each concentration camp which read, “Arbeit macht frei.” The expression came from the title of an 1873 novel by German philologist Lorenz Diefenbach in which gamblers and fraudsters find the path to virtue through labor. “Work sets you free” was a blatant lie. The Nazis had one goal. Work the prisoners mercilessly and kill them when they could not work anymore.

I have come to the conclusion people are more likely to believe a bizarre story rather than the simple truth. They want it to be complicated in order to accept it. Just examine the difference in the teaching between Jesus and the Mormon Church. It’s an odd doctrine that attracts people, but the simple Gospel message is rejected because it is not complicated enough.

THE IMPEACHMENT

The impeachment of President Trump was a classic example of disinformation. The sham started when a purported whistleblower contacted the office of Congressman Adam Schiff (D), the chairman of the Intelligence Committee and he became one of the lead investigators in the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump.

The whistleblower claimed President Trump threatened to withhold military aid as a means of pressuring the newly elected president of Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden and his son’s involvement in a business deal with the Ukrainian energy corporation Burisma. Just a few days after this bombshell accusation, President Trump released a transcript of his phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky which showed no such threat had taken place.

That did not stop Adam Schiff and the rest of the democrats from holding secret hearings in the basement of the Capitol building from October to December. The House of Representatives voted to impeach the president in December and a trial was held in January 2020 in the Senate at which time President Trump was cleared of the phony charges.

THE CORONAVIRUS

The Coronavirus first showed up in the city of Wuhan, China, early in December 2019. Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause disease in mammals and birds. In humans it can cause respiratory tract infections and is usually mild. These viruses were first discovered in the late 1960’s.

The natural Coronavirus was altered in a Chinese biological warfare laboratory, and for some unknown reason, released into the population of Wuhan.

I believe that President Xi and the Chinese communists hate President Trump, who has confronted them over unfair trade and property theft. During Trump’s three years in office, the Chinese economy has decreased, their currency has devalued, and their expansion into the China Sea far from their borders has also been challenged by Trump.

After the failed impeachment, President Trump’s approval rating rose to over 50%, unemployment is at the lowest ever in the United States, and the economy is roaring. Trump was riding a wave of success and it seemed he would easily be reelected upon this great legacy in the November 2020 elections.

It looked as if President Trump was unstoppable, but then it was reported on January 21^st that someone in a nursing home in Kirkland, Washington had been infected with the Coronavirus. No one affiliated with that place had traveled to China. The virus simply appeared. Then the virus began showing up in different places throughout the United States and health authorities could not trace the origin.

I am sure that Donald Trump was hoping to keep the Coronavirus out of America but realized in February that drastic steps would be needed to contain the pandemic and ensuing havoc it would cause. As a result, he enacted a travel ban to and from China.

I believe that the Chinese government planned to unleash this virus on the United States but it backfired on them. They wanted to destroy the Trump presidency and had agents in the United States release the Coronavirus in different places much like an arsonist does to get a forest fire going.

The economy of the United States is in ruins with the stock market dropping almost 10,000 points. The entire nation is on voluntary lockdown – no martial law yet – and millions of workers have lost their jobs. People are panicking, many stores are empty and we do not know from day to day what is coming next. “We were doing great until the Chinese virus showed up,” said President Trump.

GOD IS IN CONTROL

There are some truths found in the Bible that are especially helpful in time of trouble.

1.      There is no crisis in heaven.

2.      God is still on His throne.

3.      God has a solution to every problem we face on this earth.

As Christians, this is our moment to shine and show the world that we have a God that works in the supernatural. He has given us the Bible containing promises that cannot be broken.

Are you willing to trust God implicitly?

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.” (Proverbs 3:5-8)

Put God first and He will reward you.

“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” (Matthew 6:25-34)

God will work with your faith.

“And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.” (Matthew 8:5-13)

You must have faith to please God.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6)
