The Council for
Inter-American Security (CIS) is a rightist outfit that played
a pivotal role formulating Washington's program for
counter-revolutionary war and mass murder in Central America
during the 1980s. Larry Pratt, was a central figure within the
CIS hierarchy as was Patrick Buchanan; Pratt was secretary to
the group while Buchanan functioned as an organizational
director (see Appendix for complete list of board members and
principle players). 17
CNP"s Bouchey heads CIS and
numerous CNP members are involved in the organization.
18
Under the auspices of CIS,
Pratt helped found and was the president of a racist,
anti-immigration outfit, English First, which address is
the same address as Pratt's GOA.. Officers of Pratt's
group are also leaders of the alarmist, United States Border
Control (USBC). The Denver-based, North-South Institute (NSI)
is a non-profit arm of the Council for Inter-American
Security. NSI vice president and director, Lt. General Gordon
Sumner, also a CIS director as we have seen, is an officer of
USBC and NSI. Recommended links on the English
First 19 website include one to the English-Speaking Union of
the United States -- a super-elite society which was formed by
the Cecil Rhodes-Milner Round Table Group. John Stoos,
the former Western representative for English First and the
former executive director of the Gun Owners of California, has
also been an adviser to the California chapter of the powerful
Christian Coalition - which is headed by the Rev. Pat Robertson, managed by the charismatic
Ralph
Reed...English
First is actually a subsidiary of another Pratt entity, the
Family Foundation. Both are run from the same office suite in
Virginia that GOA calls home. Pratt founded the Family
Foundation as a Virginia nonprofit corporation in 1980 after
he was already GOA's executive director. By 1987, the Family
Foundation had a 13-member advisory board of state and federal
legislators, including
Armey. (Armey has been listed on GOA
letterheads as an advisory board member. 20
"...What got Stoos into
trouble was his statement that American society should be
founded on Christ's kingship and Biblical law. Stoos also said
that Jews and other non-Christians would be
"tolerated." His comments were challenged by Marty
Kassman of the ACLU, who is also a board member of the
American Jewish Congress.
"I don't wish to be
tolerated in this country," Kassman said. "I was
born in this country. I don't think it is any more your
country than mine. Or any more a Christian's country [than] a
Jew's."
Stoos shot back that in the
Christian society he envisions "you would not have total
acceptance. You would feel more at home in
Israel."...." 21
"...a California
medical clinic sued activists Theresa Reali, Murray Lewis,
John Stoos, Jay Baggett and Don Blythe, Operation Rescue and
others. They had been physically and verbally harassing clinic
patients and barring access to its entrance. They were found
guilty by default at their initial trial, which they declined
to show up for. A state appeals court upheld the conviction,
the California Supreme Court refused to hear their appeal, and
this week the land's highest court let the verdict stand. The
five now owe nearly $100,000 -- the legal costs the clinic
incurred...."
22 "...In an article for
the Chalcedon Report, a journal of the radical Christian
Reconstructionist movement, Stoos "goes so far as to call
Christian politicians God's 'vice-regents'...those who believe
in the Lordship of Christ and the dominion mandate..."

John A. Stormer
- CNP 1996, 1998; pastor emeritus, Heritage Baptist
Church; Director, I Chronicles 12:32 Understanding the Times
Ministry; owner, Liberty Bell Press; author, None Dare Call
It Treason, The Death of a Nation, Growing God's
Way; past president, Missouri Association of Christian
Schools; state chairman, Missouri Young Republicans, 1962-64;
member, Missouri Republican State Committee, 1962-64; Korean
War Air Force Veteran.
"...John A. Stormer's
hard-hitting, well-documented book, published to coincide with
Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign, helped breathe life
into the growing Americanist movement. Owing largely to the
concerted book-distribution campaigns of such patriotic groups
as The John Birch Society, some six million copies of None
Dare Call It Treason were distributed in the first
eight months after its publication, setting an all-time record
for the sale of so many books in so short a time
period...While ostensibly "fighting" communism with
its right hand, the U.S. Government had actually been aiding,
supporting, and promoting communism with its left. A
substantial portion of the original edition of None Dare
Call It Treason was devoted to proving this incredible
truth beyond all reasonable doubt...
An equally damning
indictment charged that many of our most vital institutions --
including our educational system, the news media, organized
labor, our government, and even our churches -- had been
infiltrated by communists and fellow travelers. As a
consequence, the author solemnly warned, America was in grave
danger of being subverted from within.
John Stormer cast his
penetrating spotlight even on the high and mighty. He was, in
fact, among the first writers to expose the nefarious goals of
the Council on Foreign Relations, and to reveal the funding of
subversive leftwing causes and groups by the wealthy
tax-exempt foundations. Stormer also courageously exposed the
un-American character of the United Nations, denouncing in the
process the entire spirit of internationalism... with a call to
action for all concerned Americans... he also recommended
joining some of the "well-established national
organizations" devoted to the Americanist cause, such as
The John Birch Society..." 24
John Stormer's book
identified the Council on Foreign Relations as a
procommunist threat. CFR members who have been members of the
CNP alongside Stormer, have included: J.

Do
You KNOW Jesus Christ?

Now
is the time to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
"Behold now is the accepted time; behold now is
the day of salvation." 2Corinthians 6:2
If you read only
one article on this website,
please let it be:
God's
Simple Plan of Salvation.
It concerns the most important decision
you will ever make in your life!
Don't let this opportunity to be saved pass you by.
If
you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and
would like some help understanding His gift of eternal
salvation, please contact us. Saying a prayer won't
save you. Prayer is merely expressing to God how you
feel. Believing and repenting are just the beginning of
walking with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
