OF MEN AND APES

There are those, thanks to our educational hierarchy and many of the educated morons of our scientific community, who believe that the human species has a direct lineal connection to a lovesick amoeba, which oozed from a primordial soup and morphed from its primitive one-cell state into a series of ever ascending species of creatures, until at last it came into that wonderfully bipedal human form of being with a brain of capabilities, which far surpass our most sophisticated computers. The wonder here is how supposedly intelligent people could embrace such an absolutely ignorant supposition, while at the same time rejecting the Biblical account of creation.

Note that Mr. Schwiesow in no way offers any rebuttal of evolution whatsoever. He simply insults it and maybe offers some kind of argument from incredulity. He basically says, "since I can't imagine how complex life like humans evolved from one-celled life, it cannot have happened." Sorry dude, but your scientific ignorance doesn't refute hundreds of thousands of scientific articles that support evolution and the unlimited observations about the natural world that are perfectly explained by evolutionary theory.

And then of course he holds up the Genesis myths as the default winner in his (imaginary) defeat of evolution. Why is it any more believable than the God of Abraham created the world than the Flying Spaghetti Monster? His explanation...

These people seem to be living proof that Darwin’s hypothesis was reversed; it is men who turn into monkeys. That can be the only explanation for such convoluted rationally incomprehensible thinking. Or could it be that the thinking is not irrational at all, and that this is a part of a master plan for the complete subjugation of the people by a new world order?

Ah yes. After Darwin's theory was reversed, there was a master plan to use his work against us. Normally I'd stop reading here, but since Alice is so dear to me I kept reading. For Alice's benefit, I'll note that up to this point, Schwiesow has proven nothing but his own ignorance. He's mocked and insulted and huffed and puffed, but he has not yet offered any argument at all.

That the foundation of this nation was based upon Biblical principles cannot be denied. This contention can be argued against, it can be attacked by demogogues, and the unknowledgeable, misinformed, and uniformed can deny it, but the cold hard fact is that it is supported incontrovertibly. Even a cursery reading of the Declaration of Independence, the preamble to the Constitution, and the Constitution itself contradicts any other argument or conclusion. The great majority of our founding fathers understood God’s Word, and believed in God’s Word. And they put His word to practice in their lives.

Sigh. This is such hackneyed garbage. I'd refer you to Ed Brayton's writing, as he often deals with this kind of claim. As a short response, yes some of the ideas that are dear to this country are in the Bible, but that's because the Bible is a huge book with lots of ideas in it. The Bible also lends support to slavery, murdering disobedient children, and countless other offensive ideas, along with some good ideas too. But this nation was founded on Enlightenment principles, by men who wanted to keep religion out of government. That some of the founders were Christians is in no way evidence that the nation was founded on Biblical principles. So this whole paragraph of Schwiesow's is, at best, meaningless.

We have come to the most critical times in the history of our nation. We are witnessing a carefully planned program of social engineering, which is being carried out by an increasingly despotic government and the interntionalists thereof. The nation is rapidly being immersed in a depraved satanic system. For the government to carry out this program for the total subjugation of a once free people it is necessary to dull the senses of the people and instill in them a totally false system of beliefs. They must be dumbed down and made compliant.

Except for the satanic part, this guy is starting to speak my language. There is definitely some nasty stuff going on in government these days. I wonder how he thinks people are being dumbed down? I say it is with beer and television and Paris Hilton. Let's see what else Mr. Schwiesow has to say about it...

One of the key elements of the program to bring about a slavery to a socialistic system is to destroy the peoples faith and belief in a sovereign God. It is infinitely easier to control one who believes that his existence is the result of a biological mutational accident and that it is the ancestral blood of apes that courses through his veins, than it is to bring under subjection one who has an absolute faith that he was wonderfully created in the image of his creator, Almighty God.

Woah woah woah. It is "infinitely easier" to control an atheist than a Christian? Wow, I've heard some funny shit from creationists before but this is right up there. What possible basis for this does he have? I'm guessing, based on what I've read so far, that he won't back it up in any way, but let's keep reading.

Certainly one who believes that he owes his very existence to the great God who breathed into him life and that his spirit is of God and by God, and that he was created as a free agent with an ability to chart his own course in life is not easily controlled.

Wha???? Not easily controlled? Let's see if we can more easily get a group of atheists or Christians to load into a hot, boring Church on Sunday, giving up valuable weekend time to recite empty words to an imaginary friend. Wow, I could just keep listing endless ways that theists are controlled by their religious leaders. In the comments are some other good examples. I can't even imagine how someone could possibly claim that atheists are more easily controlled than religious people.

That Satan has succeeded wildly with his platform for disinformation and control is evident when we look at our nation today and assess the extent to which we have been deprived of our liberties and subjugated to a despotic ruling elite. We are being controlled by corporatists, fascists, internationalists and communists, all birds of a feather and brothers under the skin who share to a great extent the same ideology and the same goal, which is a new world order.

Wow, he's starting to speak my language again. And again, the Satan talk is the only exception. He's managed to see through all the government bullshit, but he can't let go of the religious bullshit. Very weird.

The Tower of Babel is well on the way to re-construction, and this time God is not going to come to earth and disrupt the process. We see today in many of the world’s leaders an incarnation of Nimrod. And we are also witnessing much success in the perversion of the human soul by human agents who promote the agenda of the powers and principalities of the air. This success in corrupting the people has to be gratifying to those who lead the way to that new world order. That they have suceeded in dumbing down the people cannot be denied. And that they have corrupted and desenitized the human psyche likewise cannot be denied. The national conscience has been seared.

Uh... ok....

Jay Leno has, with great success and hilarity, pointed up the stupidity of our new generation with his famous man on the street segments, during which he randomly selects individuals of both sexes and asks them relatively simple questions. The answers are uproarious, and at the same time pathetic. The people that he selects cannot answer the most simple of questions, and their improvisations often times cause convulsive laughter, which dissipates into dismay at the ignorance displayed. That the segment is a comedic success for Mr. Leno cannot be questioned, but what it says about the nation is profoundly pathetic.

Wow, pop culture references coming out of nowhere. I didn't see this coming. But I agree with him. It doesn't disprove evolution, demonstrate that our nation is founded on biblical values, show that Satan is commanding our government, or that the Tower of Babel is being rebuilt, but I agree that "man on the street" reveals how pathetic Americans can be.

This domestic ignorance is the product of the social engineering of the one world elites, who occupy stragic positions in our educational heirachy, which enables them to ensure that our youngsters will move into society without the ability to understand even the most basic of concepts. If they cannot reason, they cannot question. They simply take up space and follow blindly the direction provided by the elites who direct them along paths, which lead in the wrong direction. Real knowledge had been replaced by superstition, myth, and occultic tripe. Too many of our young cannot read, they cannot write, and they cannot think. They walk through life like programed zombies contributing only to the collective ignorance of the nation.

It totally blows my mind that this guy is saying this. It is beyond funny that the same guy who laughs at evolution and promotes biblical creationism is criticizing anyone else's reasoning skills. He sees how people blindly follow leaders, and yet he doesn't see how he is blindly following a leader. The level of self-awareness here is disturbing.

What has happened to the soul of this nation? If our values and our morals are a reflection of that soul we have progressed to a most exacrable state of being. Over the course of the last thirty-two years, forty-seven million three hundred thousand babies have been cold-bloodedly murdered. They were delivered into the hands of medical executioners, who murdered many of them in the most heinious of ways. Living babies fully developed with beating hearts were stabbed in the head and their brains were suctioned by mentally diseased sociopaths. How were these murders justified by the women who delivered them up to the executioners? If your answer is that it was done to save a mother’s life you are miles away from the truth.The truth is, as verified, by those who sought a medical abortion of their babies, that these murders were done for expedience or convenience. Seventy-five percent of those who were queried said that a baby would interfere with their work, school, or other responsibilities. If their mothers had felt likewise, these women wouldn’t be around to worry about work or the responsibilities of life.

The sanctity of human life means nothing to the social engineers who are guiding our destiny in the most depraved way. Their perspective on a human being is strictly from a biological viewpoint. They have no more regard for a human life than they have for the life of an animal. In fact it has been proven time and time again that they exhibit more compassion for animals than they do for human beings. To them a human being is just another primate of limited value. If a person’s parts are showing some wear get rid of the person to make way for another. This kind of thinking has had a profound affect on medical ethics in our nation. A new breed of cats called bioethicists has come upon our national scene. They have undermined the Hippocratic oath and have re-defined life and death. They have made great strides in making forced euthanasia a part of our new national culture. Their guiding light is Darwinism. They embrace this half-baked hypothesis in the same manner that Hitler embraced it, to justify the killing of the infirm and the disabled.

Even if you don't like abortion (abortion make me sad), and even if you think abortion should be illegal (the prospect of banning abortions makes me sadder), and even if you somehow buy into his link between abortion and Darwinism and Hitler (which is profoundly ignorant), this doesn't disprove evolution. It just artificially links a few things you don't like.

Also, who has made "forced euthanasia" a part of our culture? Who has redefined life and death? As usual he doesn't back up any of his absurd claims.

And their methods are most horrible to contemplate. They kill their victims slowly and with great suffering and pain. Their work was highlighted nationally with the recent legal medical murder of Terri Schiavo. If a dog were to be put to death by starvation and dehydration, the perpetrator of that act would be prosecuted and incarcerated. When a human being is put to death in such a horrifying manner it is with the approval of the courts and with the blessing of the system. The fact that medical practitioners can be found to carry out so inhumanely the taking of a helpless human life is a commentary on the depths to which this nation has fallen.

What the flying fuck is this guy talking about. Who intentionally kills people with great suffering and pain? What is he talking about? More unfounded bullshit.

If the putrescence that we are witnessing today in society is just a small sample of things to come in a new world order, we have to contemplate the future of our children and grandchildren with great anguish. But, such is the future that we build for them with our complacence and failure to deal with those who lead us down the path to destruction.

I’m through, and I‘m sick.

Wow. I have to wonder what is going on with Alice Benbow that she thought it would be helpful to send this to me. Maybe she just wanted to take up an hour of my time. This is some worthless bullshit.

(I should also note that his original is peppered with numerous spelling errors. They weren't my mistake. )
