John G. Talcott Jr. - CNP 1988; director, Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc; co-founder and president Plymouth Rock Foundation 1, trustee, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary 2; former president, the Pilgrim Society;

Plymouth Rock Foundation 3, "'Charles Hull Wolfe'..., in 1969, when John G. Talcott, Jr. and I first conceived the educational foundation that publishes this Letter from Plymouth Rock, John was a member of the Committee preparing to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims, and I was its executive director...The majority of the Committee was most of all distressed over John Talcott’s proposal that evangelist Billy Graham appear as chief speaker on the big day celebrating the 350th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ actual landing at the Rock. By contrast, some of the minority, (chiefly myself and John Talcott), knew that America had deeply Biblical roots, and believed the Pilgrim anniversary should make that plain. We were impressed with the scholarly work of Verna M. Hall, author of "The Christian History of the Constitution," & the indispensable role of the Pilgrims in that history..."

Plymouth Rock's executive director, Rus Walton, is a member of the Coalition on Revival [COR] steering committee.

"Rus Walton, head of the Plymouth Rock Foundation" and one of the leaders of Bill Bright's 1970's "Third Century" organization, circulated a memo opposing working with the Moonies in CNP member loaded American Freedom Coalition. Walton eventually backed down under pressure from CNP and Christian Voice head Robert Grant, who was also a leader and joined with the Moonie venture. 4

Dr. Harold Ockenga also helped found Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary 5 in 1969 and was President of it and Gordon College from 1969-1985. "The Conwell School of Theology and Gordon Divinity School merged in 1969 through the efforts of philanthropist J. Howard Pew, Dr. Harold J. Ockenga and Dr. Billy Graham...Dr. Ockenga, the long-time pastor of Boston's historic Park Street Church, became the new institution's first president. Dr. Ockenga retired in 1979 but maintained an active emeritus relationship with the school and served as member of the Board of Trustees until his death in 1985" Dr. Billy Graham is Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Trustees.

"...Tambs helped set up a secret airstrip in Costa Rica to aid the contras. In 1987 the Costa Rican government charged Tambs with having committed a "flagrant violation of national sovereignty" in a protest to Washington. Strangely enough, Oliver North, Elliot Abrams, and a few others from whom Tambs took orders did not see fit to punish Tambs for committing such a violation, though one official stated that his actions "at the very least... posed serious questions of propriety" (The Nation, Oct. 31, 1987). 9

Tambs was principle editor of the "Sante Fe Report". Other Committee of Sante Fe members included Roger Fontaine, a National Security Council (NSC) adviser on Latin American affairs, CNP's retired Lt.

See: Thomas F. Ellis

Hungarian-born American physicist known for his work on the hydrogen bomb. During World War II he was a member of the MANHATTAN PROJECT for the development of the atomic bomb. At that time he also began formulating the theoretical foundations for a hydrogen fusion bomb and was a major proponent of its development. 24 ; proponent of the Strategic Defense Initiative, better known as "Star Wars." fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Nuclear Society, and is a member of the National Academy of Science and the American Academy of Science;

"Over the years, a steady flow of money from rent-a-car magnate John Hertz enabled Teller to recruit Livermore's pallid army of young physics and math wizards. In 1982, beer baron Joseph Coors and other Heritage Foundation contacts got Teller access to President Reagan, who bought Teller's pitch for "Star Wars" as an impenetrable high- tech "Astrodome" covering the whole country...." 25

"A long-time supporter of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), in the fall of 1988 the Heritage introduced a new newsletter, SDI Report, to push for this aggressive defense system. Edward Teller, "Father of the Hydrogen Bomb" was the featured member in a Heritage-sponsored panel discussion on the weapons system..." 26

Member of the Citizens Legal Defense Fund for the FBI, Ad Hoc, ... and a member of the CFR. 27 As of 1983, Edward Teller was a member of the board of directors of the Committee on the Present Danger, an anticommunist organization which advocated strict containment policies vis-a-vis the Soviet Union. Other prominent members of the committee included Ronald Reagan, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and a number of individuals chosen for Reagan's arms control negotiating teams. 28

Shortly after the Waco incident in Texas, a secret "classified conference" was held at the Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico... I was able to obtain an official copy of the speaking agenda for the November 1993 conference and, oddly, the subject matter under discussion correlated with not only the original Aquino Army report, but also with the MKUltra behavior research underway during the 1950's and 1960's. The title of the conference was "NonLethal Defense" and just a few of the speakers included such dignitaries as the Honorable U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno; Dr. Edward Teller who had helped develop the nuclear bomb; Dr. Milt Finger from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; Mr. Andy Andrews, NonLethal Project Leader at Los Alamos National Laboratory; LTG William H. Forster from Army Research, Development and Acquisition; Dr. Clay Easterly from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Dr. Henry Brisker from U.S. Army Research Laboratories; Ms. Astrid Lewis from the U.S. Army Chemical Research; Development Command; Lt. General Richard G. Trefry, former Military Advisor to President George Bush; and many more. 29

Teller, along with Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner, persuaded Albert Einstein to warn President Roosevelt of a potential Nazi atomic bomb. During the Manhattan Project, Teller worked with Szilard at the University of Chicago. From 1943, he headed a group at Los Alamos in the Theoretical Physics division. Teller was a major proponent of the "Super" or hydrogen bomb. This position pitted him against Oppenheimer. This issue came to focus during Oppenheimer's security hearings. Teller continues to be a strong advocate of the build-up and development of nuclear weapons. Most recently he supported the creation of an anti-ballistic missile shield. Teller is Director Emeritus at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. 30 Footnotes 19-30

Mises Institute, is a CNP/reconstructionist connected libertarian institute which esteems notables such as Friedrich von Hayek. Friedrich von Hayek, protégé and colleague of founder Ludwig von Mises, is one of the founders of the Mont Pelerin Society of which many CNP are members. The Mont Pelerin Society is a relic of the fascist movements of Europe in the 1920s and 1930s, whose own members, such as Professor Milton Friedman, have "emphasized" that its policies are those of Adolf Hitler. 43 [meaning from Hitler's policies in the 1920's and 1930's]. Soon after it was founded in 1947, the Mont Pelerin Society moved to London... Beginning in the mid-1970s, with lavish corporate financing, the Mont Pelerin Society, spawned a series of "think tanks" 43. Von Hayek, the founder, wrote The Road to Serfdom in London in 1944, while teaching at the British Fabian Society's London School of Economics.

"...in London Friedrich Hayek was creating an organization that would later re-form as the Mont Pelerin Society. The early group was formed in 1939 and was known as the Society for the Renovation of Liberalism. Members of the organization included Frank Knight and Henry Simons of the University of Chicago, the slavishly pro-British American Fabian Socialist Walter Lippman, the philosopher Sir Karl Popper, Sir John Clapham of the Bank of England, and of course, Ludwig von Mises. [a founding member and for at least 13 years]

All of these early members of Hayek's group then met at Mont Pelerin, Switzerland to form the influential, highly-secretive, and elitist Mont Pelerin Society in 1947...From the beginning the Mont Pelerin Society worked hand-in-hand with the Pan European Union..." 43b See: Footnotes Footnotes 39-45

Harry Valentine - CNP 1998, current; founder of Sound the Trumpet Ministries Inc. 46 ; founder: The Churchill School (for children with learning disabilities in Manhattan, NYC); prayer advisor to Alan Keyes' 1996 presidential campaign; former owner: Oklahoma City 89'ers, Daytona Beach Astros; executive committee: The Alliance for Revival & Reformation; member: Council for National Policy

"Harry developed relationships with other pro-life, pro-family leaders and identified closely with the National Prayer Embassy, organized by Rev. B. J. Willhite. Years of Christian activism and study convinced Harry that if the conditions of 2 Chr 7:14 are not met by God's people, America will be destroyed by the very God who formerly blessed it (Dt 28:all)."

The Capitol Hill Prayer Alert 47 is a publication of Sound the Trumpet Ministries, which is also a member of Paul Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation's Coalition for Constitutional Liberties 48 and the Alliance for Reformation & Revival. (ARR)49 Sound the Trumpet Ministries is endorsed by Paul Weyrich, Alan Keyes, and others.

The ARR Christian Manifesto 50 " These 42 Articles of Affirmation and Denial comprise the theological foundation on which all of The Coalition on Revival's 17 Sphere Documents, A Manifesto for the Christian Church, Articles of Affirmation and Denial on the Kingdom of God, 51 [All part of COR 52] and all other official documents must rest and to which they all must comply. These 42 Articles state what are the essentials of the Christian World View and in turn rest upon the foundation of the inerrant, written World of God. the Bible."

According to this manifesto, the Alliance for Reformation and Revival is working to establish a kingdom on earth based on Biblical law and therefore reserves to itself the right to deny the legitimacy of secular governments. "

It's noteworthy that Capitol Hill Prayer Alert's Sarah Ballenger, who was/is in leadership of that organization, was the person who encouraged Barb Aho of Watch Unto Prayer to start doing research/write and eventually start her website. The Aho's had, [and may still,] supported Capital Hill Prayer Alert. Barb Aho is a closet charismatic, private prayer language tongues speaker who attends a Reformed Baptist Church in Florida, with her husband. Reformed Baptists reject tongues and all sign gifts believing them to have ceased and also teach from all Bible versions. Barb Aho has touted in many of her writings, which advocate the use of the King James Version, that versions other than King James are "corrupt." She sits under those "corrupt for others" teachings, calling them "excellent and without error" for herself and family. Footnotes 46-52

Was secretary of the National Advisory board of American Freedom Coalition, "Richard Viguerie is best known for his RAVCO operations, a conservative direct mail fundraising empire. He also founded the Conservative Digest magazine and served as its publisher for 10 years... Shortly after Richard Viguerie joined the board of the American Freedom Coalition, a Moon-related company bought the building which houses his headquarters....A February 1988 article in Newsweek says that Richard Viguerie has resigned from the AFC board but retains the organization as a client. However, in a conversation with a member of the AFC in September l989, the Resource Center was told that Viguerie was still on the group's board of advisors..." 61

Howard Phillips was on the advisory board of Citizens Against The Catastrophic Health Tax Act (CATCHA), a group chaired by Richard Viguerie and spearheaded in congress by Rep. Mark Siljander...He began his career as an activist working for the Young Americans for Freedom and the Committee for the Monroe Doctrine, a group started in the 1960s to agitate against U.S. accommodation with Cuba... He ran direct mail campaigns for TCC, the Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, and the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC)... He was on the board of Citizens for America and handled its direct mail campaigns... In the mid-1980s Viguerie fell into debt and was bailed out by the $10 million sale of his building to the Unification Church of Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Viguerie was on the board of the American Freedom Coalition (AFC), a Moon-affiliated group that works against anything that is seen to threaten "traditional" values... Viguerie did mailings for the AFC as well as the Unification church-owned Washington Times... 62

"1964 started his own direct mail fundraising company, RAVCO, now Viguerie Communications, using the YAF and Goldwater mailing lists. In 1970s, Viguerie did the direct-mail fundraising for Paul Weyrich's Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, now the Free Congress Foundation. Viguerie was candidate in 1976 for the presidential nomination of the neo-fascist, "Klan-infested" American Independent Party (AIP) of George Wallace. In 1975, he created The Conservative Caucus (TCC) with Howard Phillips."

"Three men who worked for the Goldwater campaign and one woman became key players in the formation of the "new right". Richard Viguerie copied the names and addresses of Goldwater donors available from the Library of Congress and launched a direct mail campaign. Howard Phillips founded the Conservative Caucus and supported militarism and South Africa apartheid. Paul Weyrich with financial backing from the Coors family founded the Heritage Foundation in 1973.^.. In 1972 Phyllis Schlafly founded the Eagle Forum." 63

According to Sara Diamond in Spiritual Warfare, a congressional committee led by Rep. Donald Fraser found that after a 1961 coup in South Korea, "the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) decided to 'organize and utilize' the Unification Church as a 'political tool' within the United States. KCIA agents were found to have infiltrated the staffs of Rep. Cornelius Gallagher and House Majority Leader Carl Albert, and numerous Moonies landed volunteer positions in Congressional offices."

"The Fraser Committee found that one of the early KCIA/Moon projects was the Korean Cultural Freedom Foundation, a supposedly nonprofit organization which was actually a propaganda campaign on behalf of South Korea. By the spring of 1964, KCFF was raising funds from Americans for the Freedom Center; the latter was a project of the Asian People's Anti-Communist League (APACL), promoted and subsidized by the Korean government. The Freedom Center is the secretarial headquarters of the World Anti-Communist League (WACL), a multinational network of Nazi war criminals, Latine American death squad leaders, North American racists and anti-Semites, and fascist politicians from every continent."

"Richard Viguerie says he did some 'pro bono' organizing work for the World Anti-Communist League during the 1970s, and his ties to WACL may have had something to do with his winning the lucrative fundraising contract for the "Children's Relief Fund," sponsored by the Moonies' Korean Cultural and Freedom Foundation. That was in 1977--precisely the period when Viguerie was starting to organize the New Right resentment against the Carter administration. New York State charity auditors found that less than 6.3 percent of the $1,508,256 Viguerie raised actually went to needy Korean children. The "charity" went to Richard Viguerie, who netted a fee of more than $920,000."...."

"In 1986, Viguerie was on the bring of bankruptcy when the Unification Church again came to his aid financially. In late 1985, Viguerie had been forced to sell "Conservative Digest." In January 1986, eight of his creditors filed suit for a total of $2.3 million owed to them. At the same time, Viguerie had to put his $9 million office building in Fairfax, Virginia up for sale."

"Just as he was about to go under in early 1986, Viguerie won a lucrative account, the distribution of the Unification Church-owned "Insight "magazine. Then in October 1987, U.S. Property Development Corporation controlled by Rev. Moon's right-hand man, Col. Bo Hi Pak, paid $10.06 million for Viguerie's office building. Also in 1987, Viguerie took on the direct mail account of Moonie-dominated American Freedom Coalition (discussed below). Just as U.S. intelligence agencies have financed and organized right-wing political groups throughout the world, it was to the advantage of well-heeled international interests to help build a reactionary political movement within the United States." 64

Viguerie's past and present clients include many CNP affiliated organizations: NCPAC, The Conservative Caucus, Campus Crusade, Korean Cultural Freedom Foundation (Moon), Gun Owners of America, YAF, Free Congress Foundation and numerous election campaigns. Viguerie helped found the Council for National Policy, which included most of the activist leadership on the right as well as contributors like Joseph Coors, Herbert William Hunt and Nelson Bunker Hunt . 65

"... until recently more than $1.5 million in debt, according to Fairfax, Va., court records. They indicate that in mid-October the U.S. Property Development Corp. paid $10.06 million to 7777 Associates for the suburban Virginia office building including Viguerie's headquarters. Viguerie owned 72 percent of 7777 Associates, according to Virginia records, and U.S. Property's president is Moon's right-hand man, Bo Hi Pak. Viguerie now serves with Abernathy on the five-man board of the Moonie-dominated American Freedom Coalition.
