We ignore these people and their message at our own peril.
Suggest reading this first: A well-referenced Article that weaves the threads of the Koch/Famly/Bircher connections that can be found here.
80 Years of Planning! Since the 1930s as soon as FDR signed Social Security into law, they launched. Tycoons, Oil Men, and The Family! What do they believe? That they have God-given Power. They are chosen.
"The Family" sponsored Prayer Breakfasts sounds so warm and fuzzy, and they are. But they are just the outer illusion of a Spider's Web of power and faux theocracy that has been gearing up for world dominance for 80 years, while we all thought we knew what our government was doing. We didn't know about the real way business was done.
What have our politicians been teaching leaders overseas? You can read the speech below that outlines the foundational principles being taught. This should alarm everyone, regardless of party.
Most states are now governed by these "prayer breakfast" conservatives, whether Democrat or Republican!
Please start the video, and follow the words with the transcript below. Reread the transcript to fully get the impact of what is being taught to youth worldwide as well. Rick Warren teaches the same, almost verbatim. His video is at the end.
A transcript of this video is provided below.
You know I rarely speak lightly. Coe's words are used to justify the Dictators America has shored up for decades (Mubarak etc), the horrors of war, and the shambles our world is becoming.
Coe's words explain the billionaires' drive to dismantle unions and social safety nets here and abroad.
These teachings have been broadcast worldwide for 80 years!
Not convinced? Proof of Coe's interactions with Presidents.
Here's a reference to a letter from Doug Coe to George W Bush re: Somalia, from the library table of contents. Page 114.

If we lose an impartial Supreme Court, we lose our Democracy. Justice Steven's warned us in his Citizens United dissent.
Unless and until we truly understand what the so-called conservative corporatists, politicians, and zealots are thinking and how they justify themselves, we can't fight fire with fire. I have dubbed them The Scrooge Class.
And we need to, before killing gays, liberals, and others becomes sanctioned open sport here and abroad as they have been by so many country's leadership in the past.
Read the words carefully, trying not to dismiss them.
The is a transcription is from a speech given by Doug Coe in 1989 to a group called the Navigators, which Coe was a member in his youth, according to the title of the youtube video. There are four (4) you tube clips. the following is Part I.
The video series was posted by Warren Throckmorton You can read what he had to say. He says he had permission to post the youtube clips. Jeff Sharlett debates Throckmorton in the thread at the link.
Oddly, Coe mentions Tunisia, back in 1989 as a good example of dedication to its principles. That didn't work out so well, did it.
TRANSCRIPTION w/o Comment:
.....You can add to them, but I want to suggest you can't subtract from them. I have only kept the ones that are absolutely said by Jesus. I won't quote Paul, Peter, James, John, I'm not following them.
A believer, from the sense we are talking about, is a follower of Jesus Christ. So let's follow Him. Let's not follow Nehemiah, Esther,John, and all..
I get concerned. Protestants view of Catholics and their great concern about "Maryolitry", and kind of leaving Jesus in the background, often, the very people that complain about them are guilty of Paulolitry. They wonder why we are so big on Paul. I think we should be big on both. But I think we ought to be bigger on Jesus Christ, because without Jesus Christ, Mary and Paul are nothing. And neither are we. Without Him we are absolutely nothing.
So let's look to what Jesus said when He was wandering around Galilee with his friends. And not only Peter, James, and John and the 11, I want to say they weren't the only Disciples. There was Joanna, and Mary, and Mary Magdalene, and Suzanna. And I want to say that in terms of intimacy I think they beat us. They were so intimate they don't have to have their names printed every minute. But when it came to some of the things Jesus needed to have done, He trusted them.
Furthermore, it was those women that supplied the daily needs for Jesus' disciple friends, his men friends, before they went out. Talk about a responsibility and opportunity. And a beautiful thing was Jesus' relationship with those women.
And I want to tell you and as far as I can ascertain, when I hear about Abram Vereide, who was a tremendous man, with whom I labored for years before he died, and I loved him like my own father, there would be no Abram Vereide if there wasn't for Marian Johnson, who was an eccentric lady from New York who met Christ. She's the one that had the vision, she's the one that paid the bills, she's the one that prayed for hours.
No one remembers her.
Behind John Wesley, Martin Luther, and Whitfield, there were some tremendous women, not discounting Suzanna his own mother.
I am telling you that this team in Christ there is no black, nor white, no rich, nor poor, male, nor female.
We are all One in Him.
But hear Jesus.
And I will comment briefly on what Jesus said. And you will notice as you go through the Gospels, He always He said in certain places that "if you do not learn, a chapter a week, from memory, you cannot be my Disciple" (laughter from gathering). No, He didn't say that.
Goss (?) used to say "It isn't how much you go through the Bible, it's how much it goes through you."
I know a man that can't read or write, he just knows a few verses, but he radiates Jesus Christ. He just knows about like "twinkle, twinkle little star" but he really twinkles. He's got it.
But Jesus was walking along one day, and He said to his disciples:
"If any man comes to Me and does not put Me before father, mother, brother, and sister, and his own life, he can't be my disciple."
That is what He said.
And now you may be the greatest soul winner, discipler, and friend, and everything else, and I'm not going to explain what it means to you, I can't, I can tell what it means to me, but I can't tell you what it means to you.
But I know this, that if Jesus reigns in your heart, He told us that He would send His Holy Spirit to teach you and bring to your memory what He said. And one of the things He said is that
“If any man comes to me and does not hate his father, mother, brother and sister, and his own life, he can't be a disciple"
So I don't care whatever other qualifications you have, if you don't do that, you can't be a Disciple of Christ. You want to be a follower of Christ, a companion of Christ, a friend of Christ, a follower of Christ, if you do everything else and you can't do that, you can't be His disciple, Jesus said that.
Jesus said you have to put Me before other people. And you have to put Me before yourself.
Hitler, that was a demand to be in the Nazi Party.
You have to put the Nazi Party, and its objectives, ahead of your own life, and ahead of other people.
I've seen pictures of the young men in the Red Guard, 20 years, 22 years old, in China, a table laid out like a butchers table, they would bring in this young man's mother and father, lay her on the table with a basket on the end, he would take an ax and cut her head off (Coe raises his arm and swings it down, as if wielding the ax).
They have to put the purposes of the Red Guard ahead of their father, mother, brother, sister, and their own life.
That was a covenant, a pledge.
That's what Jesus said.
Today, in Los Angeles, in the gangs, you violate the code, you are dead. It's happening everyday, today, in this country, this very day.
Taken right from the Scriptures. Jesus Christ said
"If you do not put Me before your father, mother, your brother and your sister, you cannot be My disciple." Coe 3 (not quoted from the Bible)
If you are going to have any movement that moves men and nations, you have to have that kind of commitment.
Jesus knew that. That's the way the social order is run. If you don't run it this way, the social order goes into disarray.
We start at 9:00 and quit at 5:00. And pay a $100,000 a year.
That isn't the way they worked around Ho Chi Minh. They worked 24 hours a day. They were together when they were apart. They had a covenant and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors for the Declaration of Independence, and every man lost his, all 59, all but one lost his life. I think that was the record.
That's why we are here. There was a revolution. Jesus Christ is part of a revolution. He's the most revolutionary figure in history. The revolution of love.
Jesus Christ said:
"If you do not put Me before father, mother, brother, and sister, and your own life, you cannot be my disciple." (not quoted from the Bible)
Christ before others. Christ before self.
The Communist Party before others, the Communist Party before self.
I heard a speech of Gorbachev, in Moscow, to 12,000 students from Socialist countries that he brought for 10 days to talk to them.
Can you think of a head of a western country that has done that in your lifetime?
Can you think of any head of state like Gaddafi and the President of Tunisia?
For 2 weeks they brought 1,500 of the leading young people of Africa together and spent two weeks with them to discuss the African revolution.
We get a few people that graduate with honors from Yale and Harvard, they pass through and we give them pin, we shake their hand, and they go out. No vision, no purpose, no nothing.
No national purpose. I can go on.
But Gorbachev and his speech. I listened to it, to those kids, change two words and Billy Graham could have signed the talk.
I can think of one of the passages. I'll try to quote it for you, he said:
"The greatest need of the hour is to mobilize the young people of the world, to fight injustice, to help the poor, to fight the future holocaust due to nuclear arms, to fight for mercy, and peace on earth, good will toward men. That's the possiblities of the youth of the world."
The only thing he didn't say was "Let's band together around Jesus Christ"
He said "Let's band together around Marx and Lennon, and let's do it."
And the kids love it.
We don't even ask them (our kids, diarist addition, Erik Prince?)to give their lives, their fortunes, or their sacred honor.
We argue about giving 10% and a gift.
__________
For the record, all of Coe's so-called "Jesus said" quotes are Coe paraphrased.
I know there are some that are dismissive of this threat, and I know there are some that see no merit in trying to understand people that, in their opinion, believe in magic and story telling.
However, I ask all to please read and learn how Christianity is being used by those seeking total World Power and Dominance over our lives.
As a believer myself, it's head spinning. Jesus' words are being twisted in ways that make others hate those who believe. Is the stage is being set for a blood bath of epic proportions. Is what we are seeing in the Middle East the beginning of an escalation.
Perhaps we can prevent this if we try.
First we must understand where today's Tea Party/Scrooge Class is coming from, other than obvious heartlessness and racism.
We must understand these corporatist/political zealots wrapped in religion and the flag, in order to properly respond.
It's time to meta-organize our ground game in order to reach out and deprogram those in our inner circles. Can we succeed? Not if we don't try.

Will we succeed?
Who knows; however, if things get worse than they are, how will you feel if you didn't try? This question motivates me to speak out.
Here's Rick Warren giving practically the same speech. I think the Warren's of the world dream of have the power and impact that the Dictators they tout had.
Warren launched his Global P.E.A.C.E Plan.
Here are some of its stated goals that address training and installing leaders trained with the words in Coe's and Warren's speeches:
Equip Servant leaders
The PEACE COALITION is a growing network of churches and individuals that will eventually become a network of hundreds of thousands of churches and millions of Christians working together—in concert with governments, businesses and charitable organizations--to address the world's five GIANT PROBLEMS.
This Warren speech clip starts out a bit boring, but bear with it and listen to Warren using the same words Coe uses to tout the devotion of the same and worst dictators followers:
Rick Warren simply parrots what Abram Vereides and Doug Coe have taught and spread worldwide for 80 years.
Jeff Sharlett exposed the depth of political influence of Coe's The Family.
If you haven't had a chance to read, you can read great portions of Sharlett's book online here.
For some reason, it takes you to page 24; however, Click on Contents to a list of Chapters.
The Family by Jeff Sharlett
I highly recommend reading the Chapter called "The F Word", beginning on page 114, for a more detailed account of how and why The Family was launched by Vereides.
