Resign - Or Else!

As you read this document you may identify certain actions and traits of other Far Right Extremists Groups which have begun to replace the Christian Coalition - Here is where they got their Ideas.

Any good modem spy story always includes some high-tech gadgetry that allows people to see and hear what's going on behind the scenes, essentially to have access to forbidden information.  My personal 'sound system' permitted me to eavesdrop on conversations and record them for the benefit of my superiors.  But we suspected that 'the other side' was also using some kind of electronic snooping.  There had been too many instances when the Christian Coalition, Focus On The Family, Concerned Women For America, and other groups seemed to know in advance when Congressional bills were going to be introduced.  We had definite reason to believe that the fax machines in the offices of opposition political leaders were being tapped.

Our suspicions were confirmed by the circumstances surrounding the defeat of HR-6, a bill which would require state licensing of all educational facilities, including home schools.  Knowing that the Religious Right would oppose the bill with every means at their disposal, its author, George Miller (D-CA) tried to slip it through with no public notice during a holiday session when most people, including the Christian movement, wouldn't be paying close attention.  To everyone's astonishment, Christian Coalition organizations and sympathetic Republican leaders seemed to appear out of nowhere, and the bill was forced to its knees before it even got out of Miller's office.

My investigations gradually led me to a man I shall call 'Ned'.  For security reasons, the only thing I can reveal about Ned is that he is a computer specialist who is considered a genius.  His knowledge of electronics is phenomenal, and his skill is extraordinary.  For a while, I was able to stay close to Ned, monitoring his conversations and keeping track of the people with whom he associated.

I finally managed to figure out who was Ned's best friend, a man I shall call 'Curtis', and I engineered an introduction.  My membership in the Christian Coalition seemed to accelerate his acceptance of me and we bonded rapidly.  Curtis was proud of Ned, and it wasn't hard to get him to talk about his friend. T hey worked together on Christian projects, and it wasn't long before Curtis let me know that Ned was the one who exposed the HR-6 bill.  "There are only a small handful of people scattered around the US who can do that kind of hacking," he told me with evident pride. He also told me that he and Ned had met through a Christian Singles group.

I immediately joined the Singles group, and began socializing with Ned.  I soon realized that he is an expert in wire tapping.

"It's as simple to tap a fax machine as it is a phone or a computer," he said.

"You just need access to the fax machine you're targeting so you can plant the device.  And that's easy.  Or I can plant the device, very simple and quick, at the phone company itself."

Ned went on to say that the White House and even the Capitol itself would be easy to tap,

"because there are so many wires in those particular boxes that nobody would notice an extra little one."

Nobody ever mentioned the word in these conversations, but what we were talking about is known as 'espionage'.  And I began to wonder what role it might be playing in the recent spate of very puzzling "retirements" among Senators and Congressmen, mainly Democrats.

Since the last election an unprecedented exodus has been in progress, with a record forty five members of Congress canceling plans to run for reelection or simply resigning from their office on the spot.  And rumors say we haven't seen the end of it.  What's going on?  These departing officials were by no means obscure: they held high offices; they served on appropriations, rules, armed services, and agriculture committees and sub-committees.  People don't just give up that kind of power, pay, and perks without some extremely good reasons.

And yet most of them say they had finally realized they needed to "spend more time with my family."  So said Rep. Ron Coleman (D-Texas), the young ranking minority member of the powerful House appropriations sub-committee on telecommunications.  Rep. Jack Fields, the controversial Republican chairman of the House telecommunications and finance committee, explained, during a tearful press conference, that he wants to spend more time with his kids.  General Colin Powell, whom many believed could have taken the White House without a struggle, suddenly withdrew from the race, stating concerns for his wife's health.

Pat Schroeder already had her reelection bumper stickers printed when she bolted.  So had Charles Wilson (D-Texas), who had already begun booking media time and space for his reelection campaign when he suddenly announced his retirement.  Rep. Ron Coleman, already quoted above, made his announcement at what was supposed to have been his reelection kickoff party.

And why these sudden decisions? With a straight face, Schroeder said that she wanted to leave her $133,600 a year (plus perks) job to be a writer. Wilson said he retired to become a "consultant".

Certainly, there is the matter of retirement pensions, which are enormous: in the millions for most of the group under discussion.   But these benefits grow larger every year, so quitting early to take the pension is a little like killing the golden goose.  No, that won't wash, at least not for forty five retirees all at approximately the same time.

My time with the Christian Coalition has left me in no doubt that they will do whatever it takes to remove Liberals and Moderates from office and replace them with their own people.  Violence is by no means discounted. A recurring theme at all the meetings I attended was, "taking the Kingdom by force," which is an incorrect biblical quote from Matthew I 1: 12.

At one particular meeting, after a showing of a video of the Waco tragedy and a discussion of the New World Order, I was present during the following conversation between two well-known Christian Coalition supporters:

"Clinton needs to be shot," said the first man.

"I agree to that," answered the second man.

Then the first man, who happens to be a highly skilled sharp shooter, said,

"No, taking out the President isn't the way to do it.   Here's the right plan. We take out thirteen Liberal Democrat Senators, and twenty six Liberal Democrat Congressmen.  That would put the other 575 in constant fear for themselves, their wives, and their children.  Every Liberal would require round-the-clock protection, which would tie up twenty thousand troops. This fear would pressure them to resign, and then we can put in our own people."

This could have been simply an emotional outburst, in the passion of the moment, after we had all watched a very violent video. Still, when the exodus from the Capitol began, a little over a year later, I could not help but think back on that conversation, and check my notes and listen to the tapes I had secretly recorded. And wonder.
