Cato's sponsorship of Inquiry magazine, which published leading left-wing critics of the military-intelligence establishment, exacerbated the long-standing disdain of conservatives for anti-statist, left and right. By the 1980's, Cato would abandon its links to leftist dissidents and join the network of right-wing think tanks based in Washington D.C..." 35 Footnotes 28-35

Dr. "M.G." Pat Robertson - CNP Board of Governors 1982, President Executive Committee 1985-86, member, 1984, 1988, 1998; President of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), host of the famous "The 700 Club", and founder of CBN University; founder the Christian Coalition; chancellor and founder CBN University.

Robertson writes that his family's aristocratic lineage, linking it to the British Churchill family, gave his mother, Gladys Churchill Robertson, confidence that Pat would succeed. His father, Sen. A. Willis Robertson, was London's and Wall Street's chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

"Hunt, whose Birch Society background is documented by Conway and Siegelman in Holy Terror, also made a contribution of $1 million to the Moral Majority in 1981, according to Perry Dean Young." 36 Donated $10 million to Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasters Network in 1970. 37

CNP's Ben Armstrong was exec. council, the Freedom Council and CNP's Tony Pantaleo, was former Executive director. The Freedom Council. 'It was established by Pat Robertson to appear as a "grassroots organization". The idea was to eventually have a Freedom Council "precinct coordinator" in every precinct to ask volunteers to write letters and make phone calls on legislation. ..The organization appeared to have abused its tax-exempt status by using donations-solicited repeatedly on the '700 Club-..the alleged tax violations included the Freedom Council's failure to report donations from CBN, which totaled more than $200,000 monthly by 1985. In early 1985, Robertson had used tax-exempt donations to the Freedom Council via CBN to set up a direct mail computer project...1985, Robertson authorized the rental of CBN's one million name donor list for use by the Freedom Council and to a campaign contractor, Victory Communications of Arizona...raise[d] more than $11 million .. 38

"1981,[Pat Robertson] ... formed the Freedom Council as a vehicle to get conservative Christians involved in the political process. The Freedom Council was funded by the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and listed on CBN's books as simply Project 0015. The Freedom Council, as a 501(c)(4) political organization, was allowed to lobby. However, it is illegal for a politically restricted non-profit group like CBN to channel funds into a political organization like the Freedom Council. In January 1986, the Freedom Council changed its name to the National Freedom Institute. In the same day a new Freedom Council was formed. Then, nine months later, the Institute was dissolved, leaving only the new Freedom Council in place. The reborn Freedom Council applied for tax-exempt status, telling the IRS that two large donations were hinging on such approval. IRS approval came quickly. Published reports said later that there never were any big prospective donors waiting in the wings. Then, just as the IRS began an audit of CBN, the Freedom Council abruptly closed." 39

Pat Robertson was a member of Advisory Committee of The Religious Heritage Freedom Foundation RHA, [See: Theodore Baehr] and a leading "... participant at the founding of the STEP Program and Foundation. "Strategies to Eliminate Poverty" (STEP) was ...formed to alleviate poverty through private sector funding and volunteerism...! 77. According to the Christian Inquirer, Nelson Bunker Hunt "kicked off" the STEP Program in November of 1981, with a $1 million contribution. Those attending the April 1982 meeting in Dallas, besides the previously mentioned Dr William Bill Bright, Murchison, and Hunt, were: Dallas Cowboy Coach Tom Landry, Television evangelists Jim Baker, [and CNP's] James Robison and Pat Robertson, (Holly) Coors; Dallas businesswoman [Late] Mary C. Crowley, and the Rev. E.V. Hill - keynote speaker at the meeting and president of STEP. 40

"...the White House brought together a coalition of "retired" military men and right-wing millionaires to support the "Nicaragua Freedom Fund," chaired by Wall Street investment executive William Simon. Contributors included familiar right-wing figures like TV evangelist Pat Robertson, Colorado beer baron Joseph Coors, oil magnate Nelson Bunker Hunt , singer Pat Boone, and Soldier of Fortune magazine [CNP's Robert K. Brown]. The Fund claimed to raise over $20 million through activities such as a $250-a-plate "Nicaraguan refugee" dinner in April 1985 attended by Casey and Simon and featuring a speech by Reagan. In reality, the Fund was a propaganda front, spending almost as much money as it raised. An audit of the "refugee dinner" showed it had raised $219,525 but costs totaled $218,376, including $116,938 in "consulting fees."

"The main purpose of the Nicaraguan Freedom Fund was to divert attention from the covert channels through which real money flowed to the contras in violation of the Boland Amendment. One of those channels was a specialized PR firm, International Business Communications, which pleaded guilty in 1987 to fraud by using a tax-exempt foundation to raise funds to arm the contras. It had been a profitable business, according to the Iran/Contra congressional investigating committee, which concluded that IBC had kept about $1.7 million of the $5 million it channeled to the contras. 41

Christian Broadcasting Network gives aid to Friends of the Americas, FOA, as does the rightwing Catholic lay organization Knights of Malta... Gen. John Singlaub, head of the World Anti-Communist League and the U.S. chapter, the United States Council for World Freedom, said that he has helped raise funds for FOA...Woody Jenkins was an official with the Nicaraguan Refugee Fund, which held a fundraising dinner for the contras in 1985, at a cost of $250 a plate. At the dinner, Pat Robertson gave the invocation and led the Pledge of Allegiance; President Reagan gave a speech..". 42

Used Operation Blessing airplanes to transport equipment to his diamond mine in the Congo; support for violent dictators such as President Mobuto of Zaire and Rios Montt of Guatemala; sold his Family Channel to Rupert Murdoch for $1.9 billion. The latest capitalist venture was the reinvestment of his profit from selling the Family Channel in an aborted deal with the Bank of Scotland to make use of his financial services company to enter the American market. Prior to his career as a televangelist, Pat Robertson worked for two years as financial analyst and management trainee at W.R. Grace Co., which employed Nazis after WWII. Robertson has often praised J. Peter Grace and once remarked that Grace was the "godfather" of his children. 43 J. Peter Grace, was head of the Knights of Malta in the United States and a key figure in the CIA's Operation Paperclip to remove classified information from dossiers on Nazi war criminals. SEE: J. Peter Grace

A recent 700 Club Program 44 promoted "HANG 10" -- a new movement in which American Christians are urged to "take America back" by hanging the 10 Commandments in public schools in violation of Supreme Court rulings. In Kentucky, voters will conduct a referendum on this issue and one Kentucky Christian claims that "Hang 10" will inaugurate a new move of God: "This is the beginning of something that's bigger than Kentucky. I think it's bigger than this country. And I believe it's God. I believe we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg of what God is getting ready to do." Pat Robertson believes God is using Christians to start another American Revolution: "We had a war in 1776 that set us free from the shackles of the arbitrary rule of the British crown . . . And I think the time has come that we do that." 45 Footnotes 36-45

We are reminded : 2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

Titus 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

"In 1982, he claimed to have been "exorcized" of demons, and as a result, began converting to the charismatic movement. Since then, his annual conferences have featured hyper-charismatics such as John Wimber, and he has preached in Catholic churches with Paul (David) Yonggi Cho. Robison's January 1991 conference featured tongues-speaker Jamie Buckingham (now deceased), who had defended the Trinity-rejecting United Pentecostal Church. Robison also spoke at the 1987 Catholic/Charismatic Congress in New Orleans, praising the pope and Roman Catholics. (Reported in the 1/15/91 Calvary Contender. )...Speakers at Robison's 1/92 Dallas "Bible" Conference included church growth specialist and Schuller-promoter Bill Hybels, charismatic huckster Larry Lea, and former 12-year Dallas Seminary professor Jack Deere* (a key figure in John Wimber's healing/deliverance movement as of 1/92, but in 8/92 was working informally with Robison...Robison held a position with Sun Myung Moon's now defunct Coalition for Religious Freedom (CRF).

"There is even a more conservative counterpart to the establishment Aspen Institute--the Shavano Institute for National Leadership in Keystone, Colorado. In July 1982, it announced a series of seminars for business leaders, as well as television documentaries to be broadcast over the Ted Turner cable TV network. The institute, formerly a division of conservative Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, represents, according to The Christian Science Monitor, "an attempt to consciously mold a new value system along the traditionally conservative lines of 'freedom, limited government, and the dignity of the individual.'" "We believe in the future, and we are doing something about it," is the way Hillsdale president George C. Roche III describes the Shavano Institute...Roche was appointed by President Reagan in June 1982 to chair the National Council on Education Research. Its members included Onalee McGraw of the Heritage Foundation, Penny Pullen of the American Legislative Exchange Council [ALEC] and M. Blouke Carus, an executive of the conservative Open Court Publishers..." 69

George Roche retreated to a corner of Colorado and sent out a form letter affirming his innocence" 70 William Buckley [CFR, Mont Pelerin Society]

"Police investigators plan to question George C. Roche III, ... about the apparent suicide of his daughter-in-law, amid rumors that he had been carrying on a long-term affair with her...Lissa Roche, who apparently shot herself to death and whose body was found on the campus...Ms. Roche, who had worked at the college for 15 years, quit her job about the same time as the marriage, according to several former and current faculty members. But she was persuaded to return, and had resumed working at Hillsdale shortly before her death...rumors of an affair between the president and his daughter-in-law dated to 1990. Mr. Roche divorced his wife of 44 years earlier this year. His daughter-in-law was managing editor of Imprimis, a newspaper filled with conservative and Libertarian articles about social and political topics that was a leading fund-raising tool for the college...

...In April, he divorced his wife of 44 years, June. She has cancer. In September, he remarried. His daughter-in-law, Lissa Roche, died October 17 on the college's campus here of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound...Mr. Roche said Lissa Roche had confessed to him two days before her death that she planned to kill herself...William J. Bennett and William F.

"...In the days that followed, her grieving husband George Roche IV, 44, a lecturer in history and exercise physiology at the school, publicly accused his father of having had an affair with Lissa. He told Hillsdale's board of trustees, and the conservative magazine National Review, that just hours before she shot herself, Lissa, editor of the school's monthly journal of conservative thought, had gone to the hospital room where his diabetic father was being treated for an insulin reaction. Before the assembled family--George Roche IV, Roche and his new wife--Lissa allegedly announced that she had been sleeping with the elder Roche for most of her 21-year marriage to his son. Hillsdale officials say Roche denied the affair to the board, "invoking God as my witness." Then two weeks ago, he abruptly retired, walking away from a job that made him the fifth-highest-paid college president in the country, with salary and benefits that Forbes magazine estimated at $524,000 last year..." 72

For many years... on the Advisory Board of the U.S. Council for World Freedom, which is the U.S. branch of the World Anti-Communist League (WACL), home for many fascists and neo-Nazis. The U.S. branch brought these elements to the U.S. for WACL's annual meetings in 1984 and 1985. Included was a delegate [Yves Gignac] who served five years in prison for attempting to assassinate Charles DeGaulle, persons who led Nazi SS units or cooaborationist puppet governments during World War II, and architects of mass murder in Latin America. Those meetings served to build support for the FDN Contras as well as UNITA and RENAMO, both allies of South Africa. The U.S. branch, led by Major General John K. Singlaub, also has had racists, anti-Semites and at least one member of a Nazi collaborationist organization on its board. 77

ALEC: Established in 1973 by Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation's Coalition for Constitutional Liberties, among others, ALEC's purpose is to reach out to state office holders. In the words of ALEC's former executive director, Sam Brunelli:

"ALEC's goal is to ensure that these state legislators are so well informed, so well armed, that they can set the terms of the public policy debate, that they can change the agenda, that they can lead. This is the infrastructure that will reclaim the states for our movement." 78

ALEC has the financial support of more than 200 corporations including Coors now Castle Rock Foundation, Scaife's Family and Allegheny Foundation, Amway, IBM, Ford, Philip Morris, Exxon, Texaco and Shell Oil. William Bennett, [CNP's] Jack Kemp, [CNP's] John H. Sununu, and George Bush have all addressed ALEC sessions in recent years. 79 Footnotes 75-79

Rev. R. J. Rushdoony- (d. Feb. 2001) CNP Board of Governors 1982, member 1984, 1988, 1996, 1998; Author; founder and former President of Chalcedon Foundation 82, a Reconstructionist think tank that is funded by millionaire California banker, CNP's Howard Ahmanson; known as "the father of Christian Reconstruction; helped found John Whitehead's Rutherford Institute, served as a board member and is listed as a speaker at Rutherford conferences'; Howard Phillips gave the tribute at the 80th birthday of Rousas John Rushdoony, an event titled "The San Jose Conference of Christian Reconstruction.".

About 400 theologians, artists, writers, economists and politicians attended the Chalcedon foundation's conference, The Committee for Biblical Principles in Government 83 held in November of 1997 in Sacramento, California.

The Reconstructionist Creed 84 appears on the Chalcedon website and Chalcedon web pages include "Christianity Persecuted, Christianity Victorious" 85 with numerous articles on the persecuted church and the responsibility of Christians to demand that governments put an end to persecution of the Church. Among these articles are those of Peter Hammond of Front Line Fellowship and Voice of the Martyrs, ministry of Richard Wurmbrand, former minister/prisoner from Rumania.

Peter Hammond, is Founder and Director of Frontline Fellowship 86 and the Director of United Christian Action (a network of 20 Bible-based groups working for revival and reformation in Southern Africa). He is an international speaker, presenting about 400 lectures or sermons each year throughout Africa, Eastern Europe and America. 87 Contact is In Touch International Ministries which is also listed with Chalcedon.

CNP's Gary North, his son-in law, wrote, "...Newsweek (Feb. 2, 1981) accurately but very briefly identified Rushdoony’s Chalcedon Foundation as the think tank of the Religious Right...." 88

As well, quoting Gary North about the command to "turn the other cheek," in an appendix of "The Institutes of Biblical Law" by R. J. Rushdoony; From: "In Defense of Biblical Bribery" by Gary North:

".....remove his (the unsaved) power, and the battered Christian should either bust him in the chops or haul him before the magistrate, and possibly both."

"As the center of the re-Christianization of all society, what is Chalcedon's agenda for godly transformation? First, Chalcedon lays the theological groundwork for world transformation...Second, Chalcedon identifies and instructs key "influence agents." The Chalcedon Report, for example, is targeted for the very people positioned to reshape this and the next generation-pastors and other church leaders; businessmen; home school mothers and students; college and seminary professors and students; artists; mothers; media agents; doctors; politicians; economists; salesmen; Christian day school administrators, teachers, and students; lawyers; theologians; and many, many more. We intend soon to host regional conferences inviting many of these "influence agents," inculcating the Christian reconstructionist Weltanschauung...Chalcedon supports specific, leading world-transforming agents. For instance, Samuel Blumenfeld, identified as "Public Enemy #1" by the NEA, is a Chalcedon extension staff member. His Educational Letter, eye-opening books, and numerous lectures are generating an explosive reaction against the modern statist educational system and a re-installation of the Christian family as the prime agent of education. Peter Hammond and Frontline Fellowship traverse the war-torn African continent with the message of salvation in Jesus Christ-individual and social. They are the main Christian obstacle to Marxist and Islamic faiths in what may be the pivotal continent for the next century. John Lofton, editor of the Lofton Letter, and one of the leading Christian social commentators of our era, regularly articulates and defends the Christian reconstructionist message on TV, radio, and in news magazines. There are many others Chalcedon assists and will begin to assist (like some featured in this issue), and we intend to highlight their world-transforming work in due time." 89

Members and contributors to Chalcedon include Colonel Doner, who, in 1978, co-founded Christian Voice. He established the International Church Relief Fund (ICRF) and developed criteria for discipling the nations, which caused him to form The Samaritan Group--twelve international relief and ministry organizations that share ICRF's view of the Kingdom... 90 Colonel Doner spent three decades in Republican and Christian politics as a professional fund-raiser, media strategist, organizational consultant, and architect of the Christian Right. In the 70s his clients spanned the range from The American Conservative Union to Ronald Reagan. In the late 70s he co-founded the first wave of Christian Right organizations: The Christian Voice Lobby, which pioneered issuing "Report Cards" on how members of Congress voted on "values" issues; the American Christian Voice Foundation, publisher of the renowned Presidential Biblical Scoreboard magazine; and American Christian Cause. In 1984, he served as chairman of the national Reagan/Bush Christian voter registration campaign, and co-founded [with Tim Lahaye] The American Coalition for Traditional Values, the broadest based coalition of major evangelical leaders ever to unite behind a political objective since prohibition. 91

"Christian Voice pioneered the use of 'moral report cards' to rate Congressional and presidential candidates on issues from abortion to sanctions against Rhodesia. The organization was started in California in 1976 under the name Citizens United. In August 1978, the group changed its name to American Christians United and in October 1978 to Christian Voice, Inc. The original Christian Voice directorate consisted of Rev. Robert Grant, a graduate of Rev. Steuart McBirnie's California Institute of Theology, Gary Jarmin , a long time right-wing lobbyist and former disciple of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, and Colonel Donor (Colonel is his first name, not a military title)..."

"In 1987, leaders of the Christian Right formed the American Freedom Coalition (AFC)...Robert Grant [was] an AFC founder and president of Christian Voice. With initial funding from the Unification Church, the AFC signified a merger between about 30 Christian Voice field organizers and the state representatives of Moon's American Constitution Committee. At the August 1987 kick-off rally for the American Freedom Coalition in Washington, D.C., Moon's top aide Bo Hi Pak praised the 'marriage' between Christian Voice and the American Constitution Committee and said it 'shows what a great sense of humor God has.'

"As with other Moonie-influenced New Right projects, the AFC was organized in such a way as to obscure Moonie domination. The original officers included Christian Voice President, Robert Grant, black civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy, Richard Viguerie, and Richard Ichord (D-MO) and Bob Wilson (R-CA). After their poor results in the 1986 Congressional elections, Christian Voice leaders, Colonel Doner, Robert Grant and Gary Jarmin had concluded that Christians alone could not steer the country rightward. To be politically effective, they argued, Christians would have to be 'unequally yoked' with non-believers and even enemies of Christianity...

"In May 1988, Grant was invited as the keynote speaker for the annual conference of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN), which included many of the same anti-Semitic East European emigre groups recruited by (CNP's ) David Balsiger's RAMBO Coalition . With headquarters in Munich and chapters throughout Europe and the United States, the ABN is nostalgic for the days when the Nazis occupied Eastern Europe. Scott Anderson and John Lee Anderson, authors of Inside the League, describe the ABN as: 'the largest and most important umbrella for Nazi collaborators in the world...A prime criterion for membership appears to be fealty to the cause of National Socialism; ABN officers constitute a virtual Who's Who of those responsible for the massacre of millions of civilians in the bloodiest war in history.' Grant's public association with Nazi sympathizers drew no storm of criticism from fellow evangelicals." 92

Colonel Doner, responding to reporters about Moonie financing of the Christian Right and AFC, stated " CAUSA [Moon's political arm] is an anticommunist organization. It's a funding source. CAUSA is anticommunist and personally I'm for anybody that's anticommunist. The Mormons are the same. I'm not going to lend credence to their organization, but networking, I'm happy to network with them." 93

Colonel Doner is Director of Dennis Peacocke's Coalition on Revival (COR) which Jay Grimstead heads. Peacocke was a disciple of Bob Mumford and his shepherding movement. Colonel Doner has also been on the executive of Peacocke's charismatic Anatole Fellowship, whose goal is to gain influence in the Republican Party. Other executive committee members have included CNP's David Balsiger and Connie Marshner, who represents Paul Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation. 94

Dennis Peacocke's Coalition on Revival (COR) was co-founded and headed by Jay Grimstead. Jay Grimstead's COR Manifesto is the document which outlines COR's goals and objectives. The 135 Christian activists who signed the document in 1986 committed themselves to working for the realization of COR's goals "until the day we die." Those on the COR steering committee include other CNP members as well as recognized shepherding movement leaders such as Bob Mumford and Ern Baxter, as well as Jack Van Impe.

R.J Rushdoony was also co-founder, along with CNP's C. Truman Davis and Norman Milbank, of the Saint Paul’s Anglican Church. According to the website,

William A. Rusher - CNP Board of Governors 1982, member 1984, 1988, 1996; In 1955, William F. Buckley, Jr. (CFR), founded the National Review 95 with William Rusher as publisher. Rusher and F. Clifton White, having cut their political teeth in the Young Republican National Federation, "the powerful and shadowy YRNF 'syndicate'", became the political strategists of the ideologically distinct conservative movement that gained organizational control of the Republican Party in 1964...In 1961, Richard Viguerie answered an ad in National Review for a political organizer and was hired by Rusher as Young Americans for Freedom , 96 YAF's executive secretary. 97

Publisher of the National Review, a member of the previously mentioned "Alternatives to the New York Times Committee", a regular on the "Good Morning America" Television program, long active in "Establishment Networks", such as: the American Conservative Union, 98 the American-African Affairs Association, American Committee for Aid to Katanga Freedom Fighters, Citizens Legal Defense Fund for the FBI, Ad Hoc, Committee on Conservative Alternatives, Human Events 99, and Young America's Foundation 100- the tax-exempt arm of John Birch Society, Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) 101. Rusher, has also been a contributor to the Unification Church run Washington Times. 102
