Alex Jones is in the news a lot lately. Liberals and Democrats hate him with a passion. And even many Republicans (especially of the RINO type, Republican in Name Only!) despise him as well. People see him as a conspiracy theory nut.
I first heard about Alex Jones about 2 years ago when I listened to a podcast on Sermonaudio by Pastor Trevor Hammack titled: New World Order Defined. In this podcast Pastor Hammack warned his readers to be careful about what they hear from Alex Jones.
I think the world of Pastor Hammack, and if you follow my Today in the News feature you will see that I post a lot of links to his podcasts on this site. But in the case of Alex Jones - at least when it comes to Jones' conspiracy theory ideas - I part company with Pastor Hammack. If Alex Jones ever talks about aliens and Shape Shifters and UFOs, then yes, don't listen to him. But if he talks about the United Nations, The Constitution, the Economy, The Bilderberg Group, and President Obama, then you might want to listen up.
If you follow the link, The Book that Woke Up Alex Jones, you will get some insight into where Alex Jones gets his conspiracy theory from (The book being None Dare Call It Conspiracy, by Gary Allen, published in 1971).
I read that book somewhere around 1978 when Jimmy Carter was president. My interest in this conspiracy was peaked a year later when I learned that Presidential Candidate Ronald Reagan's Campaign Manager was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (read the book!). Everything I have seen over the past 35 years is consistent with what this book talks about. And I'm not alone (See my post: Special Report: The New World Order is No Conspiracy Theory).
But I also admit that this is just a theory. It is a good theory, I believe. It explains why there is so little difference between our two main political parties (does anyone think America would be better off today if Romney had been elected?). But it's just a theory.
God's people have lived under harsh, tyrannical regimes in the past. They continue to do so today. Just check out some of the pod casts by Bob Faulkner from Voice of the Martyrs. And when, excuse me, if, Gary Allen, Alex Jones, and myself are correct, that this conspiracy theory is going to lead to America surrendering its national sovereignty to and all powerful United Nations (which may outlaw Christianity!), then our Lord Jesus will help his people persevere during those times as well.
Please take some time to listen to Dr. David Murray's message: When Government Tries to Be God
