Thoughts On President Trump’s Tariffs

James Japan avatarPosted on by 2

For the record, I stand with the basic principles of the Republican party, limited government, human rights guaranteed by the Constitution, curbing illegal immigration, anti-abortion, and just plain common sense based on real science such as only two genders. But that doesn’t mean I always agree with the actual policies of the Republican party. Support for Israel is one example. I was glad that Trump defeated Kamala Harris. She’s obviously … Continue reading →

What history books don’t tell you about the American Civil War

James Japan avatarPosted on by 2

“It is Rome who wants to rule and degrade the North, as she has ruled and degraded the South, from the very day of its discovery. There are only very few of the Southern leaders who are not more or less under the influence of the Jesuits through their wives, family relations, and their friends. Several members of the family of Jeff Davis belong to the Church of Rome….” – Abraham Lincoln

The Catholic Church vs. The Public Schools

James Japan avatarPosted on by  

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC church authorities apply to themselves in the most literal sense the words of Jesus Christ, “All power is given to me in heaven and on earth.” They claim supreme and unquestionable power over the intellectual, social and moral lives of all men both as individuals and as nations.

No political event or circumstance can be evaluated without the knowledge of the Vatican’s part in it. And no significant world political situation exists in which the Vatican does not play an important explicit or implicit part.

Vietnam: Why Did We Go? – By Avro Manhattan

James Japan avatarPosted on by  

Vietnam was a Catholic war. It was never supposed to be an American war, though the Americans were called upon to support the Catholic side. It ended with the Catholic Civil War in the Church and Vatican II (it was not a cause of Vee Poo, but shows the civil war that was going on). On one side were people like Diem (Trad Catholic President of Vietnam), Pope Pius XII, and Archbishop Spellman.

Washington in the Lap of Rome

James Japan avatarPosted on by 2

“Romanism is the dominant power in the Capitol of the United States. Lincoln, Grant, and Arthur withstood it, and suffered the consequences. The power is unseen. It is shadowy. It inhabits the air and infects it. Romanism is the malaria of the spiritual world. It stupefies the brain, deadens the heart, and sears the conscience as with a hot iron. It comes, as did the tempter, with gifts in its hands, of rule, of power, and of wealth, to all who will fall down and worship it. They who yield have peace and praise. They who refuse must fight a terrible foe.” – 19th century author, Justin D. Fulton

The Power of the Pope

James Japan avatarPosted on by  

The Pope leads this huge global institution of the Catholic Church. There’s over a billion Catholics. He has ready access to them through encyclicals, through sermons that priests and bishops give. So because of that, and because I think he’s sort of prominently dressed and presented as a religious figure in a world that takes that seriously, he’s surrounded by a media circus of incredible intensity and attention.

Pope Francis the Fox – Richard Bennett’s Newsletter Reviewed by Tom Friess– Part II

James Japan avatarPosted on by 3

A Vatican Council II document upholds the same principle of the “universal ownership of all goods.” The word universal, as is taught by the Vatican, is synonymous with Catholic. Those two words, although they are different spelling, have exactly the same meaning. Universal and Catholic are one and the same word. Universal ownership means Catholic ownership.
