America Shattered

by Texe Marrs

  It should not amaze us then that in the 14½ hour made-for-TV movie Amerika, which depicted a Soviet takeover and occupation of the United States, the pro-Soviet character “Milford” delivered an eloquent speech which embodied this bold assertion:

  We are the voice of the New generation. We are the voice of the New people. The destructive ways of the past are gone. We will replace them with our vision of the future. The past will lead us to the New Age. There have been those who have tried to stop the New Age. They are the corrupt reminder of the past. They have tried to confuse us with the idea that old America was a good country. We know that lie. History teaches us that lie. We are grateful to our Soviet brother who saved the world from destruction and we can now join him in a World of Socialist Brotherhood. Everyone will go to school. Everyone will have a job. Everyone will be equal. No one will exploit or be exploited. And all those who oppose this wonderful vision will be crushed. 30

  In the Soviet model a Community does not have to be a rural commune, an isolated or separate hamlet, or a separated people inside a walled city. A Community is, instead, the coming together of the people within any geographical area—even the whole world—to accomplish commonly agreed upon communist objectives. The New Age Community also has agreed upon objectives. For example, it is commonly agreed that parents cannot be allowed to teach their children that the Bible is inerrant. Nor can they be permitted to instruct their children the “pernicious, separatist” doctrine that Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. The Community must set up sanctions to prevent this.

  The New Age leadership insists that the loving, peaceful citizens grouped as One in each Community must come down hard on Christian parents and limit their authority over their children. If necessary, their children will be taken away from the Christian parents and raised by the Community.

  Community is the Body of Satan

  In reality, “Community” is just another synonym for “Satan.” It is the world culture and the seeds which grow to become the body of Satan, whereas the Church is the body of Christ. Furthermore, Satan’s Community—his unholy spirit—can be discovered in a number of locales. Community is wherever one finds Satan’s influence. As ardent New Age theologian David Spangler has written:

  Community... is the seedbed of culture... the seedbed where seeds are nourished. A Community is not necessarily a group of people living separate from the rest of society... Community can take many forms. A Community can be a neighborhood within a city. It can be co-workers within a corporation or industry. It can be a school or members of an association. It can be a family. It can be two people: the couple is Community. The spirit of Community can even live in just one person... My invisible spirit friend John has often commented that the soul is a Community. 31

  In short, using our knowledge of the New Age, we can briefly but most accurately define Community this way: Community is the explicit presence of Satan. Community is evidenced by Satanic ownership and influence.

  In the New Age view, the family is the whole Community. But not so in the Christian worldview. The whole purpose of the Christian family is to bring its members into a harmonious relationship under the authority and Lordship of Jesus Christ. In essence, the purpose of the family is to worship the one true God. But, as one New Age child care expert has observed, the purpose of the New Age Community family is distinctively different: “The purpose of family,” this New Age specialist writes, “is to protect the divinity in each of its members.” 32 In other words, the New Age family exists to become its own God, rather than to serve the God of the Bible.

  “Christian” Leaders Join the New Age Community Bandwagon

  A number of misguided, so-called “Christian” leaders have rallied around the “Community” banner of the New Age. The New Age drive to communize kids and separate them from parents is also encouraged by Planned Parenthood, the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse, and similar groups.

  Robert Runcie, who as the Archbishop of Canterbury was until recently the spiritual and administrative leader of the Church of England, has, like other New Age leaders, called for an end to the traditional Christian doctrine of personal salvation. “We must,” he has stated, “reject such a privatization of religion which results in ... personal salvation.” 33

  Meanwhile, the Rev. W. Franklin Richardson, a member of the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches (note that the Soviet Communist Party also has its “Central Committee”) has compared the concept of Community, which he approves, to that of the “global village:”

  The World Council of Churches... is similar to the United Nations of the Church... I think that the future of the world is that we are becoming... the “global village.”... We are in one world, one Community... The church is going home to aid the world in understanding that and the United States is going to have to come to grips with that. 34

  The federal government, as well as many national child welfare organizations, is also backing the New Age campaign to destroy the family unit, eradicate parental authority and install despotic rule by the “Community.” One very prominent example is the work of the well-known National Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse (NCPCA). In a resource packet for Christian religious leaders developed by the NCPCA, the authors refuse to identify God as “Our Father.” They go on to reject Biblical truths and attempt to subvert readers by inserting in the resources packet information promoting the New Age philosophy of Community. Even to the extent of blasphemously claiming that “Christ” is simply a “loving Community.”

  To children, the hope of New Life must come through a loving Community—the personification of the Risen Christ. 35

  The NCPCA material favorably notes that “the traditional image of the family” is changing. Community, they suggest, is on the ascendance while the traditional family ordained by God is on the way out. As the young grow into adulthood and are separated from their parents, say the authors, they must seek and find a new “family of choice.” 36 This is the same New Age propaganda line being pushed by many psychologists today as well as by such groups as the Adult Children of Alcoholics organizations.

  The most horrible aspect of the NCPCA propaganda is that the organization redefines the Christian “church.” No longer is the church composed of individuals who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior and who obey His commandments and cherish His Word in their hearts. Instead, according to the NCPCA, the church is simply the whole of society. The church is, in effect, Community. 37

  In the near future, look for this disingenuous concept to receive greater emphasis. Satan, no doubt, finds great pleasure in labeling the church as the equivalent of the New Age’s Community, and he likewise mockingly delights in redefining Christ Himself as Community.

  Chapter 29

  The New Age as Big Brother

  Our good friend, able Christian researcher and writer Mary Pride (All the Way Home, The Child Abuse Industry, Unholy Sacrifices of the New Age, and other books), was instrumental in bringing to my attention some of the abuses of the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse as well as the New Age policies of other federal agencies. In a recent letter, she eloquently stated the horrific proportions of this New Age takeover of governmental child “watchdog” agencies:

  When you realize, as I have found out through my research, that the (state and local) Family Services/Health and Human Services departments all around this country are loaded with New Agers, witchcraft-oriented feminists, and the like, it becomes truly alarming.

  These people wield coercive government authority. They can remove your children from your house and put them into “their” houses. Christians are being shut out of foster care due to anti-spanking and pro-secular psychology laws now passed or being passed around the country. At the same time, homosexuals, rabid feminists, and so on—many of whom are New Agers—are being recruited or are pressing for the right to be foster parents.

  Along wi
th this is the push for in-home visits by government agents to determine whether a family should be allowed to continue to raise its own children. They plan to start with first-time parents, who will be insecure and less likely to understand the ramifications of the New Age child-rearing methods. The New Age methods, parents will be told, are the only right way to raise children.

  The government is positioning itself as the prophet of an “orthodox” (New Age) way to raise kids—and calling all other ways child abuse. At the same time New Agers are taking over these government agencies.

  This is more than ravaging our children... They are actually trying to STEAL them from us!

  Texe, I am praying that you will be able to share this information with the public in your new book. You are in the best position of any of us to blow the whistle on these guys before it gets too late. People NEED TO KNOW.

  PART III

  The Bold New Age Claim: Christian Parents Are Ignorant, Insane, Unstable, Unfit

  If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, therefore the world hateth you. (John 15:18-19)

  Remember the Word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. (John 15:20)

  The fundamentalist Christians are the worst Christians. They are the most fanatic people. They believe that Christianity is the only religion These are primitive ideas. (Bhagwan Rajneesh)

  It can no longer be accepted that parents have sole authority over their children. (World Goodwill)

  Get ready for a tidal wave of persecution and revulsion against Christian parents. I’m talking about parents who know and love Jesus Christ, honor His Word, and bring up their children in the admonition of the Lord. If you fall into this despised category, the world hates you. And the New Age, as the world’s chosen end-time religion, is paving the way for your children to be taken from your custody. After all, according to New Age doctrine and teachings, you are a threat to your children’s well being. You are a member of a “fundamentalist cult.”

  Now keep in mind that the New Age has no argument with parents who are ecumenical Christians—“Christians” who believe that all paths lead to God and that unity comes before doctrine. Such believers will find much in common with New Agers. Cosmic Christians, too, are celebrated as brethren by New Age teachers. Cosmic Christians are those who enjoy being called Christians but who deny John 1—the Truth that Jesus Christ, the Word, was and is God of the universe. No, the New Age aims its hatred and venom only at one small group of Christians—Biblical Christian fundamentalist parents.

  I have documented the evidence that Satan wants our children. Now, we will examine a key way in which they hope to achieve this despicable goal—the New Age plot to discredit and destroy the effectiveness and reputation of Christian parents. Bluntly stated, New Age psychologists, educators, sociologists and other family “experts” are making this bold claim: Christian parents are ignorant, insane, unstable, unfit.

  Alice Bailey, writing as the mouthpiece of her demon guide, Djwhal Khul, the Tibetan Master, is one of the New Age elitists who has spearheaded the drive to capture our kids by undermining parental control. Her organization, World Goodwill, affiliated with the Lucis Trust, detailed some of its in-depth agenda in a guide called The World’s Most Precious Resource: Its Children. 1 With its benign title, one would think this is a harmless and beneficial guide for parents and others concerned about children. Regrettably, this isn’t the case.

  In the distorted New Age view, children are a precious resource because they are considered to be most vulnerable and soft targets for New Age propaganda and indoctrination. Children are curious, questioning, tentative, tender, sensitive and innocent. They want to believe adults. They are like lambs to the slaughter for the determined and disciplined New Age teacher and leader. Even worse and much more grievous is the situation in which children are being raised by parents who are hardcore New Age occultists.

  Chapter 30

  The New Age Lie: Family Breakdown Has a Silver Lining

  In her New Age report on children, Alice Bailey cleverly weaves together the reasoning behind the decades-long assault on youth. First, she points to the breakdown of society, the church and the family, suggesting that this breakdown has a silver lining because it creates unique opportunities for fulfillment of the New Age Plan:

  It is said that prior to all new growth there is ever a breaking down of the old structures.

  Institutions and belief systems that have been formulated throughout the past centuries are... no longer adequate to meet the needs of a changing planet.

  Such conditions lead us to the present problem and the resultant opportunity—an opportunity to provide... children with the environment which their sensitivity demands. 2

  To take advantage of this opportunity, Bailey offers a number of suggestions. First, noting the youth rebellion against authority and the increasing tendency of teens to commit violence and crimes, she recommends a new attitude be adopted—an attitude of permissiveness:

  An interesting experiment was taken... by a man named Homer Lane. He worked with children who had committed crimes... He viewed children from a different perspective when he heard the record of the evil the children had committed, instead of pitying them as poor little sinners, he could admire them as stout-hearted little ruffians... He was able to see in those crimes evidence of qualities admirable in themselves and, when differently expressed, recognizable. 3

  A second guideline of Bailey’s is that New Agers should encourage the idea that traditional parents (fundamentalist Christians, for example) are irreparably harming their children and, therefore, society must establish new ways of bringing up children:

  Today the average child is, for the first five or six years of life, the victim of his parents’ ignorance or selfishness... The damage done to children... is often irremediable and is responsible for much of the pain and suffering in later life. 4

  As Bailey’s statement makes clear, Satan’s New Age strategy is to label all fundamentalists—that is, Biblical Christians—as ignorant and selfish. They are too strict, set too many rules, put “guilt trips” on kids and try to enforce their “archaic” Biblical laws, All of this, the claim goes, damages children’s minds and leads to lifelong mental pain and suffering. This is the same lie the leaders of Fundamentalists Anonymous and other ungodly groups feed to TV masses on such TV programs as The Phil Donahue Show and The Geraldo Show.

  From the highest levels in the New Age the directive has gone out to the workers in the field: brand Christian fundamentalist parents as paranoid, stupid, ignorant, uncouth, divisive, evil, unloving, spiritually inferior beings. Hindu guru Bhagwan Rajneesh preached, “The fundamentalist Christians are the worst Christians. They are the most fanatic people. They believe that Christianity is the only religion... These are very primitive ideas.” 5

  New Age psychologist and occult author Robert Anton Wilson has also strongly denounced brave and faithful Christians who stand up for Jesus. “To me,” Wilson snapped to an interviewer, “fundamentalism... is conducive to stupidity and interferes with the proper functioning of intelligence, creativity, joy and having a good time.” 6

  In one of her many bestselling books, Ruth Montgomery, often described as the “Herald of the New Age,” railed against those Christians who refuse to unify with the New Age, scathingly declaring, “So many are ignorant, with closed minds and little education, that they fail to realize the close relationship between the ancient Eastern religions and that which Christ brought to the world.” 7

  Chapter 31

  Children’s Needs to be Met Outside the Home

  Because the traditional parents—“ignorant and spiritually unreliable”—cannot be entrusted with their children and because of other social forces, say New Age leaders, children’s needs will have to be met outside of the home. Using this rationale
, the New Age leaders are pushing for government-run and controlled daycare facilities. They are also vigorously promoting the establishment of New Age communes and communities. In such a community, the reasoning goes, working parents and also parents who are too ignorant to bring up their children according to the “needs of the New Age,” can turn their kids over to trained “experts.” Bailey explains it this way:

  It seems apparent that the future will increasingly see the needs of children, from a very young age, being met outside the home... With such a situation it seems apparent that state, national, and global agencies should be in the forefront of the movement towards providing quality childcare facilities. 8

  The thrust of the New Age Plan is to take all authority away from parents—especially Christian parents—and place it in the hands of the New Age experts. Such experts include daycare workers and teachers trained to lead kids in guided mental imagery exercises, earth worship, witchcraft and Native American Indian rituals, and other New Age atrocities. Naturally, the New Age psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health “professionals” will also play an important part in raising our kids, as will the holistic health practitioners, shamans, and technicians.
