A Deadly Enemy – Part 1
TimeWatch Editorial
March 23, 2017
In the midst of the continuing discussion on the matter of terrorism, it would be useful to refer to a book authored by Bill Hughes in the year 2002. The topic dealt with in his book is “The Secret Terrorist.” He opens that book with an arresting statement that causes one to immediately pay attention. We tend to focus on a particular group of individuals who might be responsible for terrorist activity, but perhaps we need to widen our investigation in this matter.
“The United States must soon face the most deadly enemy it will ever have to face. This enemy is not only the usual military enemy, but it has the organization and the capability for massive espionage and clandestine operations within the United States. It uses a facade that is virtually perfect to hide its operations. In fact, right now, this enemy is working secretly to undermine the principles that made this country the greatest nation in the world. This enemy has infiltrated the highest levels and departments of the U. S. government, and poses an extreme danger to America. Let us look at a little history and understand the methods this enemy has used in the past and how it is secretly working today.” Bill Hughes, “The Secret Terrorist,” page 2.
The power of this opening paragraph would immediately suggest the need to be ready for an almost immediate assault upon the nations. It would be too late to close the borders, and it would be impossible to trust those who were already functioning in place. When we look at Bill Hughes’ identification of the threat, we then are drawn to re-evaluate our former decisions as to who is the instigator. Listen to how Hughes continues.
“The array of books written that detail the sinister plots of the Congress of Vienna and the Jesuits against the American Republic are numerous. That this conspiracy has raged since 1815 is a fact of history. We will show that this conspiracy is in full force today and that it is the reason America is having so many problems at the present time and is so close to losing her freedoms. Most people know very little about the Pope’s Jesuits. The reason for this is that they are a very secretive society.” Bill Hughes, “The Secret Terrorist,” page 4.
As I said, when we think of terrorism, we immediately think of suicide bombings and mass murders. Let us not forget, war is just a tool. The objectives of those who god to war usually have a political, and economic objective. This is the reason why use of the military is often nothing more than a distraction. The Jesuits have, throughout history, been successful at agitating military conflict in order to manipulate society. This is why Mr. Hughes refers to an important quote found in The Great Controversy, pp. 234, 235.
“Throughout Christendom, Protestantism was menaced by formidable foes. The first triumphs of the Reformation past, Rome summoned new forces, hoping to accomplish its destruction. At this time the order of the Jesuits was created, the most cruel, unscrupulous, and powerful of all the champions of popery. Cut off from earthly ties and human interests, dead to the claims of natural affection, reason and conscience wholly silenced, they knew no rule, no tie, but that of their order, and no duty but to extend its power. The gospel of Christ had enabled its adherents to meet danger and endure suffering, undismayed by cold, hunger, toil, and poverty, to uphold the banner of truth in face of the rack, the dungeon, and the stake. To combat these forces, Jesuitism inspired its followers with a fanaticism that enabled them to endure like dangers, and to oppose to the power of truth all the weapons of deception. There was no crime too great for them to commit, no deception too base for them to practice, no disguise too difficult for them to assume. Vowed to perpetual poverty and humility, it was their studied aim to secure wealth and power, to be devoted to the overthrow of Protestantism, and the re-establishment of the papal supremacy.” E. G. White, The Great Controversy, pp. 234, 235
Bill Hughes makes the point that The Jesuits function like the Papacy’s secret world-wide police. They are very secretive and go to great lengths to keep their operations secret. They tell no one that they are Jesuits. To all outside appearances, they appear as normal people. But they are commited to a particular purpose. Their loyalty is bound to the Papacy and their opposition is focused against Protestantism.
“Ignatius Loyola founded the Jesuit Order in the 1540s. Its position in the Roman Catholic Church was solidified during the Council of Trent, which ran from 1546 to 1563. The Council of Trent was convened with one great goal in mind: how to stop the Protestant Reformation. The Reformation began in 1517 when Martin Luther, the fearless German friar, nailed 95 theses on the door of the Wittenburg chapel. These theses challenged, among other things, the heinous doctrine of indulgences taught by Rome that declared a man could save himself and loved ones by dropping enough coins into the Catholic Church’s coffers.” Bill Hughes, “The Secret Terrorist,” page 6.
I hear you say, fine, but how do you connect terror to Catholicism? In our very next editorial we will show the connection.
