FROM THE PAUL SMITH BOOK:
HUMANISM’S STRATEGY: DISPLACE CHRISTIAN INFLUENCE
How long has our country been slipping away from its Christian heritage? The battle over the impact of the Christian worldview in the United States began with a strategic meeting of committed anti-Christians at the return of the twentieth century.
On September 12, 1905, approximately one hundred people met in a loft over Peck’s Restaurant at 140 Fulton Street in Lower Manhattan. The purpose of the meeting was to carefully calculate the overthrow of the Christian worldview and replace it with the idea of a then rather unknown writer by the name of Karl Marx. They formed an organization called the Intercollegiate Socialist Society.
The godfather of the organization was Upton Sinclair, a twenty seven year old author. The first president chosen was another author, Jack London, age twenty-nine. Also present was Clarence Darrow, an attorney.
The strategy of the organization was to infiltrate their ideas into academia by organizing chapters in as many colleges and universities as possible. And organize they did! Walter Lippmann, later an author and director of the Council on Foreign Relations, was president of the Harvard chapter. Walter Reuther, future president of the United Auto Workers, headed the Wayne State University chapter, and Eugene Debs, who went on to become the five-time Socialist candidate for president, was a leader at Columbia University.
DAVID P GRIFFITHS COMMENT
The programme goes onto show the Isaiah 14 declaration of Lucifer to be like “the most high”, with Lucifer finding his modern day “new world order” in exactly the place of the Fulton Street Revival of 1857 that through businessmen brought millions to the Lord Jesus with thousands ultimately attending and affecting millions.
What is also significant is that Rees Howells is recorded visiting Fulton Street, (possibly around about the same time as the New World Order) the place of the revival prior to the 1920’s as part of the building up to the founding of the Bible College of Wales, designed to be apart from the coming infiltrated educational establishments that now control the teaching of theology throughout the World including at Elim where I witnessed it first hand.

Isaiah 14:12-14 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
how art thou cut down to the ground,
which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart,
I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,
in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the most High.
FROM THE PAUL SMITH BOOK
The society grew. The first annual convention was held in 1910, and by 1917 they were active on sixty-one campuses and a dozen graduate schools. Other early activists included W.E.B. DuBois who would become an official of the National association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) and later a Communist Party member, and Victor L. Berger of Wisconsin, who became the first Socialist elected to Congress.
In 1921, the Intercollegiate Socialist Society took its first organizational step, changing its name to the League for Industrial Democracy. Its purpose was education for a ne social order based on the worker’s productivity and not on corporate profits. Their eventual mantra, Workers of the World unite! Would be heard around the world in future decades. Norman Thomas, another perennial Socialist candidate for president, was the leader behind the scenes. The renamed organization’s first president was Robert Lovett, editor of The New republic, and the field secretary was Paul Blanchard, who later became an author.
The college chapters of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society had now become the Student League for Industrial Democracy. As members graduated from college, some entered the pulpits, others entered the classroom, some wrote textbooks, while others entered the labour movement and both political parties. When the New Deal began in 1933, they were in positions of leadership everywhere.
By 1941 John Dewey, the league vice-president in the 1930’s, was its honorary president: and Reinhold Niebuhr, the Union Theological Seminary neo-orthodox theologian, its treasurer. By this time Dewey had already organized the Progressive Education Association and the American association of University Professors.
The League for Industrial Democracy was so successful that those who held membership in the movement or were cooperating with it could have been a list for Who’s Who in America: Roger N. Baldwin, founder of the American Civil Liberties Union; Charles Beard, the historian; Carroll Binder, editor of the Minneapolis Tribune; Helen Gahagan Douglas, the congresswoman who was defeated by Richard Nixon for the U.S. Senate; Felix Frankfurter Supreme Court Justice; Sidney Hook, the educational social philosopher; Edna St. Vincent Millay, the poet; Henry Morgenthau Jr., one of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s most trusted economic advisors; Walter and Victor Reuther, united Automobile Workers; Will Rogers Jr., humourist; Franklin Roosevelt Jr., the president’s son; and Arthur Schlesinger Jr., the historian.
The obscure loft in Manhattan where they first organized has long been forgotten, but what began there that night permeates America’s institutions and culture to this day. They have successfully replaced the Bible-based views of the nineteenth century with liberalism based on Marxism.
It is interesting to note that one of those attending the meeting in the loft over Peck’s Restaurant that night was John Dewey, the recognized father of modern education. The National Educational Association gave Dewey high recommendations for his works. After returning from a trip to Eastern Europe, he assisted in writing the Humanist Manifesto. He developed ideas of evolutionary democracy, evolutional education and evolutional law, which advocates that nothing is constant, and all is relative. (Hence the statement of the New Bibles by Nestle Aland – the same principle) Relativism denies absolutes. This position is in glaring contrast to the biblical Christian worldview that God is absolute and His inerrant Word teaches absolutes and sets forth propositional truths for men to believe and live by.
Humanism, on the other hand, denies absolute truth and biblical values. Thus, there is no right or wrong. Students are to accept relative answers based on personal needs. Public school literature now teaches children to become better citizens in a new world order. Country, family, and God are no longer goals to be achieved, but instead they are seen as causes for bigotry, narrow-mindedness, prejudice, and intolerance. The humanist teaches our children new thought patterns that meet the goals of the emerging elitist class who will equip society for global governance.
During the past one hundred years, humanism has grown bolder in its attack against the founding fathers of our nation. (Puritans who sailed from Plymouth, Devon, so this is UK heritage too!) In the field of public education, more schools have closed their doors to the Bible. In many instances, teachers are prohibited from encouraging students to follow the teachings of Christ. Ironically, it is easier to teach the Koran, the writings of Buddha, or Yoga than Christianity. Fewer teachers are familiar with the exhortations of the men who established our nation; and as a result, relativism has inflicted great harm to a once great nation, as well as to a once vibrant Christian evangelical movement.
FROM THE PAUL SMITH BOOK:
TESTIMONY OF A RUSSIAN EX-KGB OFFICER
A further understanding of humanism is clearly revealed by Yuri Bezmenov, a former Russian KGB officer who defected to the United States in 1970 after becoming disillusioned while serving the KGB in India. He came to understand the difference between true freedom and the oppression of the elitist intellectuals.
He considered the U.S. to be the last country with freedom and a strong effort towards patriotism. Mr. Bezmenov’s comments have been posted on YouTube.
The following is a summary of Bezmenov’s interview in 1984.
“The main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all. Only about 15 percent of time, money and manpower are spent on espionage as such. The other 85 percent is a slow process, which we call ideological subversion …. to change the perception of reality (by promoting disinformation to the enemy) to such an extent that no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country. It’s a brainwashing process, which goes very slowly and is divided into four basic stages.
He identifies the stages as Demoralization, Destabilization, Crisis and Normalization.
Demoralization takes from fifteen to twenty years. This is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the Marxist-Leninist ideology …. Without being challenged, or counter-balanced by the basic values of Americanism (American patriotism).
Most of the people who graduated in the sixties (drop-outs or half-baked intellectuals) are now occupying positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and the educational system. You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their minds, even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behaviour. The process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To rid society of these people, you need another fifteen to twenty years to educate a new generation of patriotic-minded and common sense people.”
Here (in the USA) you can get popular like Daniel Ellsberg and filthy rich like Jane Fonda for being dissidents, for criticizing your Pentagon. (In the Marxist-Leninist system) nobody is going to pay them for their beautiful, noble ideas of equality.
The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already. Actually, it’s over-fulfilled because demoralization now reaches areas ….. of such a tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans, (It’s the same here!) thanks to a lack of moral standards.
As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. That’s the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.
In this psychological warfare, the next stage of the Marxist-Leninist strategy is destabilization. It takes only from two to five years to (Subvert) economic, foreign, and defence issues. The next stage is crisis. It may take up to six weeks to bring a country to the verge of crisis. And, after crisis, with a violent change of power, structure, and economy, you have (the so-called) period of normalization. It may last indefinitely. Normalization is a cynical expression borrowed from Soviet propaganda.
This is where the world is at now – just wait for the normalization part to start of global control!
If this process is not turned around and such an ideology comes about, the promise of goodies and the destabilization of our economy will lead to the elimination of a free market economy and the institution of a Big Brother welfare government in Washington D.C. ……. “
FROM THE PAUL SMITH BOOK:
TOWARD A NEW WORLD ORDER
A new world order will be instituted and controlled by an elitist group for the coming kingdom of the Antichrist. It takes the miracle working power of the Holy Spirit to penetrate the darkness of such deceived and demoralized hearts and minds.
The reality is that we are now in a period of total war between the forces of good and evil; between Satan, who is the god of this world, and the one and only true God, creator of heaven and earth. Soon there will be nowhere to hide, and those who have fallen away from the truth of God’s inerrant word will be like the five foolish virgins in Matthew chapter 25 who had no oil when the Bridegroom appeared.
The apostle Paul prophesied,
2 Timothy 3:1-5 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
In these perilous times, professing Christians will deliberately reject revealed truth concerning the deity of Christ and redemption through His atoning and redeeming sacrifice. (We have done many programmes on this in the Restoration Programme series on ECCTV) The apostle Paul speaks of apostates who deliberately turn away from the truth of God’s inerrant Word:
2 Timothy 4:3-4 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Can we learn from history? It really depends upon whose history you choose to believe.
DAVID P GRIFFITHS COMMENT:
Paul Smith gives the context of this prophecy given to me in the early hours of 15 April 2020.
In this context I grasp hold of the prophecy through David Wilkerson also of New York who declared in 1986 that there would be a worldwide pandemic closing places of worship, bars and restaurants and be it that now is the time for this, be it that this is a move of possessed man to bring crisis, then the god of this world’s idea of normalization, I believe we the remnant should grasp hold of what David Wilkerson also had to say and that at the end of the pandemic there would be another Great Awakening in the World.
Let us as Christians grasp this narrow period of time rejecting relativism and restore the absolutism of God’s true word.
THE PROPHECY THROUGH DAVID P GRIFFITHS of 15 04 20
“The enemy of souls has nothing new to offer. By possessing key people, he looks to hold the kingdoms of this world through the philosophies of man, rather than the revelation of the Holy Ghost.
“Being given the 7-Year Plan, I have given thee intercessions to bring the conditions for a world-wide revival that embraces nationhood, embraces individual countries, as I have ordained in My Word, bringing life & not death.
“The devil, however, has other plans. He sees himself as holding the kingdoms of this world under his control; so, he possessed key individuals to brainwash the world into a thinking alien to the Word of Almighty God.
“The holocaust of babies from wombs is one of the fiercest of his attacks; for he knows if he can shed the blood of the innocents, he can have power over nations. He knows that if he can remove the biblical pattern of family, of the raising of children in a biblical home; if he can infiltrate & brainwash places of learning & understanding, then he can bring the conditions for mankind to be under his control. He thought he could win Brexit, but the intercession beginning at the grave of Karl Marx, & continuing on the cliffs of Dover, brought that to an end.
“Intercessions at Runnymede & Turnberry protected the President from being impeached; but there now needs to be an intercession at the seat of the Fulton Street revival; & this, in the lockdown, can be achieved virtually & spiritually, so that those responsible for this crisis can be brought to justice.
“You see, mankind has the power to destroy itself, to reach the aims of global control. The devil comes to kill, steal & destroy, but I have come that ye may have life, & life in abundance.
“So, is this third attempt towards globalisation going to succeed? They will say, ‘This is a global problem requiring a global answer,’ the global order declaring these answers are in the philosophies & science of man; but I say, the root of all this is sin; & David, just as thy earthly father, William, lifted up the banner ‘God is at War against Sin Forever,’ so thy ministry will stand once more at Fulton Street, Manhattan, to declare the Lordship of Christ Jesus who brings life, rather than the controls of a Marxist order that looks to bring death.
“The prophecy of 1986 is proving to be correct. It is now important to bring in the awakening by intercession to the Father in the name of Jesus. For it is not My will that any should perish.”
