UNHOLY
ALLIANCE: The Spiritual Battle for Europe
(Reprinted
by permission from the "Light for The Last Days" newsletter
of Tony Pearce, Winter 1998/99 edition.)
We
publish this article written by a friend who has for many years worked
in a senior banking position in the City of London. As a committed Christian,
he discerned that behind the political and economic arguments taking place
over European Union, there is a spiritual power at work.
This
power is described in the letter to the Ephesians, "For our struggle
is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,
against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces
of evil in the heavenly realms".
In
Autumn 1987, I went to Munich, the capital of Bavaria, to attend a senior
banking conference. On one particular day, the Lord gave me a series of
revelations regarding the evil spiritual ruler of Bavaria (or "prince"
as described in the AV).
In
the morning we discussed European Monetary Union. The main speaker was
Peter-Willhelm Schluter. He is a Bavarian German, who has been a key architect
of the Euro. He has spent his life's work (30 years) focused on the "goal"
and "god" of monetary union. He shuns publicity, and is a man of the shadows.
His
boss and public sponsor is Willem Duisenberg, a Dutchman, head of the
European Central Bank (ECB), considered now by many to be the most powerful
man in Europe. Others say that Schluter, the faceless bureaucrat, is the
real power. He and his boss are opposed to openness or accountability.
They argue that "ECB council members will be able to hide behind the cloak
of confidentiality, thus avoiding having to justify their actions, or
to yield to local political pressure".
We
risk losing control of our economy to powerful non-elected bankers operating
in smoke filled rooms behind closed doors, such as Duisenberg and the
secretive and wholly unaccountable civil servants who stand behind them.
Schluter is one of those powerful civil servants. He told the conference
that progress towards the Euro was "inevitable", and that it was "impossible"
for anyone to stand in its way. "The Euro can only be run by a Central
Bank in Frankfurt, modeled on the Bundesbank according to German principles".
His presentation was strident, forceful and compelling. He was a real
Euro-evangelist. The Lord made it quite clear to me where his power was
coming from! He really was frightening in his conviction and intensity.
He
and I crossed swords at lunch. Even those around the table, who were non-Christian
bankers, remarked at the very apparent conflict between two kingdoms.
He admitted, in debate, that his dream is to go well beyond the current
Euro, and absorb the dollar as well to create a one-world currency! He
also stressed that financial linking inevitably meant political union.
After
lunch, we went for a tour of the car manufacturer BMW. This company is
an economic giant with really awe-inspiring use of technology. The finance
team stressed that part of their ambition was to crush other national
car industries (such as the UK's) and, for example, to absorb Rover (which
they had just taken over) into their Germanic mould. The prevalence of
robots, high technology and soullessness enabled the Lord to show me that
the new strategy of the Bavarian Prince involved economic warfare. Look
at what has subsequently happened to Rolls Royce / Bentley!
From
BMW, a coach load of us went to Dachau, the first of the Nazi concentration
camps. A number of the American Jewish people at the conference wanted
to go there with some of our German hosts and to seek reconciliation.
The visit was very moving. The motto on the gates, possibly the greatest
lie of this century, "Arbeit Macht Frei" (Work makes you free). As I walked
along the wide "boulevard" between the locations of the huts, into which
the exhausted and emaciated prisoners were crammed in filthy conditions,
I sensed the blood of 32,000 people who died there, and the countless
numbers of those who were transhipped from there to the extermination
camp at Gross-Rosen. Their blood cried out to me from the ground, and
through a deep welling of grief, tears and anger, as well as profound
sense of impending doom, I heard the Lord confirm that the Prince was
as powerful and terrible as ever.
In
the evening, we went to the Residenz (Royal) Palace for a sumptuous banquet
with gold cutlery, serenaded by a string quartet. But even in such a magnificent
setting, I was deeply distressed. For in this ancient seat of the rulers
of Bavaria is sited the Reiche Zimmer, the Treasury. As we visited the
fabulous crown jewels there, the Lord spoke to me for the fourth time,
saying that this Prince, which had been so powerful in history, intended
to become even more powerful in the immediate future. This evil spirit
was heavy on me all day. I am convinced it is an utterly dark principality.
It has warred against liberty, justice and truth for centuries, and once
again is rearing its ugly head with a different strategy for domination,
this time of a more subtle and progressive nature.
The
Prince of Bavaria
Looking
into the past we see that there has been an evil spiritual power (described
as a 'Prince' in Ephesians) operating through the region of Bavaria. This
prince craves power, and has a track record of so doing through history:
788AD Bavaria became a powerful part of Charlemagne's 'Holy Roman Empire' (the
first attempt to revive the Roman Empire) and a great influence on him.
Thus, the Prince first expressed its great desire for empire.
962AD Otto the Great of Bavaria established the First Reich with an objective
of European domination. He deliberately made use of the bishops to strengthen
his rule and thus created the "Ottoman church system of the Reich" that
was to provide a stable and long-lasting framework for Germany. His symbol,
the Octagonal Crown was greatly feared. His empire collapsed on his death
due to fending amongst his sons.
1609 Bavaria founded the Catholic League in opposition to Protestant Revival.
1871 New German Empire (the Second Reich) was heavily influenced by the hereditary
rulers of Bavaria -finished only by 1st Word War.
1933 Hitler's National Socialist movement started in Munich (Bavaria's capital),
and in 1923 Hitler had attempted an unsuccessful putsch in that city.
When
the Nazis came to power in 1933, Bavaria became a bastion of Nazism. Hitler
was a Roman Catholic, and one of his first acts, once he had gained control
from his Munich base, was to establish a concordat with the Pope.
The
first Nazi concentration camp was built in March 1933 at Dachau, near
Munich; and the fanatical rallies were held in Nuremburg (Bavaria's second
city) from 1933 to 1938, involving blaring Wagnerian overtures, stirring
martial songs, banners, goose-step marches, human swastika formations,
torchlight processions, bonfires, and magnificent fireworks displays.
Hitler and other Nazi leaders delivered lengthy orations. Buildings were
festooned with enormous flags and Nazi insignia. The Third Reich finished
only at the end of the 2nd World War.
Did
that Prince cease its activity in 1945?
Catholic
Political Thought
This Prince has, I believe formed an unholy alliance with a Ruler of Darkness
which manifests itself through Catholic Political thought.
Shirley
Williams said in 1975: "We will be joined to a Europe in which the
Catholic religion will be the dominant faith, and in which the application
of the Catholic Social Doctrine will be the major factor in everyday political
and economic life."
Konrad
Adenauer, Paul Henri Spaak, Jean Monnet, Robert Schuman, the founding
fathers of the Common Market, were all Christian Democrats, and were deeply
influenced by Catholic social teaching. Jacques Delors, the author of
the EU Social Charter, was schooled in Catholic Social Doctrine.
Catholic
Political Thought is subtle deception. It is nearly allright! A first
glance reveals nothing sinister. Many people think the Roman Catholic
church is just a variant on the Anglican Church, but with frilly sleeves
on the robes! That is just what the Ruler of Darkness behind Catholic
thinking wants us to believe. The Roman Catholic Church government operates
by diktat and control, rather than having any openness to ordinary folks
hearing from God. Priests form a martial hierarchy, rather than demonstrating
a "servant spirit". Knowledge of God is held and controlled by a superbly
trained and indoctrinated elite. Real power resides in the hands of a
very few at the top - an oligarchy. No real religious freedoms are permitted
outside the Catholic Church.
Catholic
Political Thought is a progressive lie. It espouses oligarchy, and not
democracy. Processes of government are to be hidden not open. Decisions
are handed down by diktat, not developed through debate at all levels.
The
outworking of this in our recent history:
Our
progress into Europe has been via this methodology of diktat, closed-door
discussion and secrecy. We have been sliding inexorably down a slippery
slope, experiencing the progressive lie.
Jean
Monnet believed in the Catholic vision that Europe should become a federal
super-state. To achieve this, the plan was to be a series of successive
steps, each disguised as to have an economic purpose, but all of which
when taken together would lead irreversibly to federation. The steps were
first coal and steel production, then atomic energy programmes, then common
agricultural policy and Common Market, then single currency...
He
said in 1970: "I related to Edward Heath how we had proceeded from
the start, step by step, and how in this way we gradually created the
Common Market... and that I was convinced we should proceed in the same
manner."
Heath
followed this pattern of deceit when he told the British people in 1973
that by joining the Common Market there was "no question of any erosion
of essential national sovereignty." When asked in 1990 whether he
had in mind a United States of Europe with a single currency when he took
Britain into Europe, he replied, "Of course, yes."
In
1985 / 86 the Single European Act introduced majority voting (no UK veto)
which unleashed a torrent of regulations unifying Europe. Margaret Thatcher
failed to grasp its significance, describing it as: "a modest decision".
In 1990 when she threatened to use the British veto in Rome, she was dismissed
by her own party.
The
Treaty of Maastricht (1991) established the principle of "acquis communautaire",
of Irrevocability and Irreversibility. This means that what has been acquired
(towards Union) cannot be taken away. Thus, when Maastricht refers to
a single currency, it says: "The move towards a single currency (which
implies comprehensive surrender of national Government to a supra-national
body) is irrevocable and irreversible." Maastricht was never intended
to stop at a single currency. Jean-Luc Deheanc (Belgian Prime Minister)
said: "Monetary Union is the motor of European Integration".
In
1993 Jacques Delors (speaking about Maastricht) said: "The objective
is not just to make a single market, but to create a political union".
In 1994 Helmut Kohl said: "The process of Union is like the Rhine flowing
to the sea. Anyone who stands in its way is crushed against the river
bank".
The
process to a single currency is a one way-road, deeply embedded in Maastricht.
European Monetary Union is only a step on the road to Global Monetary
Union, and only a step on the road to complete Euro-Federalism - one super-state
ruled from Germany under the power of the Prince of Bavaria and according
to the subtle but evil power of the Ruler of Darkness behind Catholic
thought.
The
present line up over Europe
Why
has there been so much coverage about Europe in the press in recent weeks?
Recent moves to the left in European politics now mean that apart from
Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland and Spain, Europe has socialist governments.
Socialist economic ambitions are coming-to light.
However,
the key thing is that the British Press is beginning to wonder who is
telling the truth. What are Tony Blair and Gordon Brown really saying
behind closed doors in Europe? Are they holding to their election pledges?
And
who are these Europeans who seem to want to control our destiny? Perhaps
it would help if we looked at some of the key protagonists, and what they
are saying:
Gerhard
Schroder, German Chancellor
He
has been described as an electable "cipher", who has no ideas, no political
substance, no convictions. He is said to be floundering, and the Social
Democrats wish they had decided some policies before being elected!
He
has however reiterated support for an even deeper European integration
and backed further transfer of sovereignty to the EU: "Only through
the further development of a political union, as well as social and environmental
union, will we succeed in forming a Europe which is close to its citizens.
The single European currency is an important step on the way to political
integration, but it only provides a framework for accelerated progress
towards union." (November 10th)
Oscar
Lafontaine, German Finance Minister
Lafontaine
is the party leader of the Social Democrats. Many Germans loathe him,
and refused to vote for him in 1990 when his party suffered a crushing
defeat. He was the "Kingmaker" who made Schroder the selected candidate
to fight Kohl, only because he himself was un-electable. Twice divorced,
he is known as a bully. He has a French name, speaks fluent French and
was born on the German-French border. He has a Napoleonic outlook. He
is a powerful, ranting orator, who is hard-left politically. He desires
nothing other than a German-led United States of Europe. He has been described
as "Germany's secret ruler". Schroder detests him.
In
the background is the European Hilary Clinton - Christa Muller -Lafontaine's
wife. Known as "Oskar's Hilary", she and he co-authored "Don't be afraid
of; Globalisation". She is very close to a-number of leading German Euro-j
bureaucrats, and is regarded as being an extreme pro-federalist.
She
is a friend of Cheri Blair. Oskar and Christa are advocates of a global
currency via an intermediate stage of fixed exchange rate band with the
dollar, and thence to a one-world government. They are French-style Catholics.
13
Nov: Germany and France put Lafontaine forward as next Presided of
European Commission.
22
Nov: The power struggle between Schroder and Lafontaine continues
behind the ' scenes. Lafontaine is secure because of his appeal to left
wing activists and trade unions. He is described as an "extraordinary
person" and compared to Goering in the German press.
1st
Dec: Brown and Blair are bested by Lafontaine over the permitted use
of the veto on tax harmonization. Lafontaine says national vetoes on any
issue should be abolished. Tax harmonization is critical to success of
the Euro. Lafontaine wants massive tax rises in Germany, sweetened by
equivalent rises in the UK and elsewhere. This will create huge unemployment
across Europe. One has to ask what the agenda is here. Is an environment
of high unemployment and economic uncertainty just what Lafontaine desires?
Is he looking to create an environment across Europe like that of Germany
in the early 30s, riven by civil unrest, so that he, like Hitler, can
take absolute control?
Blair
& Blown (and Mandelson!)
8
Nov: "Blair speeds death of Pound" (Express headline). Secret plans
to join ahead of next election Jan 1, 2002. Alistair Campbell (Tony's
spin doctor) says, Tony's policy is "We sign up as soon as possible'".
13
Nov: Mandelson says his personal ambition is to re-unify Europe.
1
Dec: Blair and Brown appear outwitted by Lafontaine on tax harmonization,
especially VAT on food and children's clothes. Brown blamed by British
Press for signing new pan-European left wing agenda which raised the harmonization
issue afresh.
2
Dec: Blair in a cleft stick, on the one hand telling EU leaders he
is a fully signed up pro-European, and on the other trying to reassure
an increasingly sceptical British public about UK sovereignty.
The
power to tax was the salient issue of the English Civil War and of the
American War of Independence. No government should concede this principle.
The
French and German governments are running a coordinated campaign for increased
tax harmonization, and the abolition of the veto is an important part
of the strategy. It is also a necessary step to ensure we are all dragged
helplessly into the new European Federal State.
There
is a Principality behind Bavaria which seeks to enslave the whole of Europe,
and a Ruler of Darkness behind Catholic Political Thought. They have together
declared war on Britain. This is a fight for the survival of Britain.
It is a battle as serious as the Battle of Britain in 1940. It is a battle
which is fought with subtle and yet powerful weapons - of political propaganda,
lies, double talk, spin-doctoring.
There
are continuing secretive deliberations that take place in the name of
the so-called Euro-citizen, and which result in policy changes which systematically
and cynically erode national sovereignty. Huge effort is being made to
ensure that these things are not debated in the open. When an issue of
yielding of sovereignty is uncovered, the Labour Government will attack
the newspaper, commentator or whoever. It will all be labelled as "futuristic
eyewash". They will fudge the issue, and refuse to accept that any individual
issue raised has anything to do with a genuine debate about Europe.
The
intention is for Britain to lose sovereignty in subtle, progressive and
irreversible stages. We are to lose our basic principles of democracy,
transparent open government, and freedom to debate, and instead to be
ruled by the Catholic principles of oligarchy, secrecy and diktat We may
even lose our freedoms of evangelical belief and be labelled as a dangerous
or illegal cult. This has happened to Pentecostals in Belgium in the past
three months.
We
must face up to the fact that Europe is grinding inexorably towards Federal
Union on a Catholic Political basis - UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT.
There
is a wider goal than just Europe Progressive steps: the Euro, then the
Euro fixed to the US Dollar, then a One World Currency, then a One World
Government and a One World Religion.
Jesus
said, "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and
lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. " Luke 21.28
God
created the boundaries of our Nation for a purpose: And hath made of
one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth,
and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their
habitation', That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel
after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us.
Acts 17 26-27
We
are a nation with a wonderful Christian heritage. Our nation's boundaries
have been set by the Lord. We have entrenched religious freedoms, but
the European Continent is largely held in spiritual darkness, with anti-Christian
political beliefs and social structures.
If
this move of European Federalism triumphs, the EC will indeed be an Empire.
It only lacks an emperor, but it will have the Pope...
