This article is three years old but Khrist on a kracker, it's a worthy read.

The Family is, in its own words, an “invisible” association, though its membership has always consisted mostly of public men. Senators Don Nickles (R., Okla.), Charles Grassley (R., Iowa), Pete Domenici (R., N.Mex.), John Ensign (R., Nev.), James Inhofe (R., Okla.), [etc. etc.]... Regular prayer groups have met in the Pentagon and at the Department of Defense, and the Family has traditionally fostered strong ties with businessmen in the oil and aerospace industries. The Family maintains a closely guarded database of its associates, but it issues no cards, collects no official dues. Members are asked not to speak about the group or its activities.

Frigging thing's been around more than 70 years. Good thing they don't infect the body politic with X-psychosis! Ooops, spoke too soon:

In the process of introducing powerful men to Jesus, the Family has managed to effect a number of behind-the-scenes acts of diplomacy. In 1978 it secretly helped the Carter Administration organize a worldwide call to prayer with Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat, and more recently, in 2001, it brought together the warring leaders of Congo and Rwanda for a clandestine meeting, leading to the two sides' eventual peace accord last July. Such benign acts appear to be the exception to the rule. During the 1960s the Family forged relationships between the U.S. government and some of the most anti-Communist (and dictatorial) elements within Africa's postcolonial leadership. The Brazilian dictator General Costa e Silva, with Family support, was overseeing regular fellowship groups for Latin American leaders, while, in Indonesia, General Suharto (whose tally of several hundred thousand “Communists” killed marks him as one of the century's most murderous dictators) was presiding over a group of fifty Indonesian legislators. During the Reagan Administration the Family helped build friendships between the U.S. government and men such as Salvadoran general Carlos Eugenios Vides Casanova, convicted by a Florida jury of the torture of thousands, and Honduran general Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, himself an evangelical minister, who was linked to both the CIA and death squads before his own demise. “We work with power where we can,” the Family's leader, Doug Coe, says, “build new power where we can't.”

Well anyway, they mean well. And as long they remain humble Xians, the democratic ideals of the country will be protected. Or not ...

Quote:

There they forge “relationships” beyond the din of vox populi (the Family's leaders consider democracy a manifestation of ungodly pride) and “throw away religion” in favor of the truths of the Family. Declaring God's covenant with the Jews broken, the group's core members call themselves “the new chosen.”

Come to think of it, Christinsanity is antithetical to democracy anyway. But these gents (no women allowed, except to serve the occasional breakfast) have a solid plan of action, don't they?

Quote:

“A covenant,” Doug answered. The congressman half-smiled, as if caught between confessing his ignorance and pretending he knew what Doug was talking about. “Like the Mafia,” Doug clarified. “Look at the strength of their bonds.” He made a fist and held it before Tiahrt's face. Tiahrt nodded, squinting. “See, for them it's honor,” Doug said. “For us, it's Jesus.”

Coe listed other men who had changed the world through the strength of the covenants they had forged with their “brothers”: “Look at Hitler,” he said. “Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Bin Laden.” The Family, of course, possessed a weapon those leaders lacked: the “total Jesus” of a brotherhood in Christ.

Well anyway, at least it's not gay in any way.

Quote:

At Ivanwald, men learn to be leaders by loving their leaders. “They're so busy loving us,” a brother once explained to me, “but who's loving them?”... To the Family, Jesus is not just a name; he is also a real man. “An awesome guy,” a Family employee named Terry told the brothers over breakfast one morning. “He excelled in every activity. He was a great teacher, sure, but he was also a real guy's guy. He would have made an excellent athlete.” ... The first day I visited Ivanwald, Bengt cleared a space for me at the head of the table and sat to my right. Beside him, Wayne slumped in his chair, his eyes hidden by a cowboy hat. Across from him sat Beau, still wearing the boxers and T-shirt he'd slept in. Bengt alone looked sharp, his hair combed, golf shirt tucked tightly into pleated chinos. ...One night, when the guys went on a swing-dancing date with the Potomac Pointers, more worldly women flocked to Jeff C., begging to be dipped and twirled. The feeling was not mutual. “I just don't like girls as much as guys,” he told me one day while we painted a new coat of “Gettysburg Gray” onto Ivanwald. He was speaking not of sex or of romance but of brotherhood. “I like”—he paused, his brush suspended midstroke—“competence.” ...

Maybe a little gay, but that's a good thing! There's nothing twisted about these fellows though.

Quote:

He read in a monotone, accelerating as he went, as if he could persuade us through a sheer heap of words. “'For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb,'” he concluded. His lips curled into a half smile. “Man! I mean, that's intense, right? 'In my mother's womb'—God's right in there with you.” He grinned. “It's like,” he said, “it's like, you can't run. Doesn't matter where you turn, 'cause Jesus is gonna be there, just waiting for you.”

This shit would be just another circle-jerk for Jesus if these dudes weren't at the levers of power. Pull my lever for Jesus!

Read the whole thing and tell me this cuntry isn't well and truly fucked up. Cal, please post about eleven pictures of Iulius Caesar to get my mind off these TLE sufferers.

:lol::lol:....Stop, please Stop, you guys are making me laugh so hard this morning it is difficult to concentrate...:lol:..
This pict of the Son of God Augustus, the "resurrected Archiereus ( aka Christos= anointed one with BLOOD & ATHENA'S SACRED OLIVE OIL) says it all. He is wearing the "crown of thorns" ( from the Akantha thorny bush symbollic of the SUNGOD Apollo where Caesar descended from- Mother was VENUS)

Caesar is CONNECTED to CHRIST in every way one looks, that is, if one KNOWS ancient history, archaeology, linguistics, religious texts, etc and is able to CONNECT the iconography dots WITHOUT tunnel vision concentrating in only ONE field of study. This is the reason, IMHO, the vast majority of scholars have not seen this!. If one concentrates in the chemistry in the study of water molecules one can miss the lake, the fish and people swimming in it!
He was the HOLY FATHER, Son of the SAVIOR and a GOD. We MEN are the true GODS, for we CREATE with our HOLY WANDS by depositing sacred MILK offerings on the altar of the Caves of Creation. Women are the true GODDESS.

Phew, thanks Cal! A little sanity returned ...
