Corruption in the Twenty-First Century

In order to get to grips with corruption this century and why it appears
to have become endemic compared to the past, we require to ask some
questions about that past and consult reliable sources for the answers.

How did our civilization become so corrupt? Corrupt to the point that
every institution has fallen prey to corruption either through ideology,
loss of virtue or just plain greed and powerlust. Those who function in
those corrupt institutions perforce must invite the virus to invade
them, if they are to prosper.


Digging deeply into our ancient texts and mythologies, one finds that an
event took place sometime around 200,000 B.C. This event has been
described and recorded in the ancient mythology as "Atlantis." Whether
this age is correct, based on the Plato-inspired mythology of early
Mesopotamia, depends on the inquirer's diligence and open-mindedness.
For the sake of brevity, let us call it the "Lucifer Rebellion." This
rebellion was not one instigated by man; it was a war in heaven. Certain
angels followed Lucifer's Declaration of Liberty, that declared God
below Lucifer. The resulting disruption of humanity was catastrophic and
eventuated in the planetary centre of culture and civilization becoming
so grossly distorted through corruption, that it eventually was
destroyed by a tectonic disruption which sent it to the depths of some
as yet discovered ocean.


The Lucifer Rebellion translated into man's idea that "liberty without
license" was the ideal, relegating sovereignty from the Universe Creator
to Lucifer and by extension, to man. In this the twenty-first century,
further translating to the sovereignty of man, as our planet and its
mortal species transitioned through industrialism, technology and
secularism. In the post-modern era, it has become termed as "secular
humanism."


Secular humanism translates into material-mindedness, atheism and
godlessness. For it is a fact that God needs man and more importantly,
man needs God. What we now view in the landscape of secular humanism is
a godless civilization bereft of virtue and suffering from the virus of
"liberty without license."


When man loses sight of God who is perfect, then man's imperfection
manifests to a point where corruption is commonplace. When common virtue
is replaced with "liberty without license," the gates of civilization
are ajar.


Corruption on our planet, in our civilization is now endemic. No amount
of hand wringing or false hope will challenge this undeniable fact. This
is the final age in a 200,000-year-old odyssey whereby mortal man will
finally learn the lessons of time that without God, we are nothing. Even
more than nothing, as has been witnessed during this century of secular
humanism. This ideology had its roots in the nineteenth century opus of
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Two malcontents who sat around drinking
coffee theorizing about how to subvert capitalism-their enemy. Their
opus, the Communist Manifesto went on to become the genesis of modern
communism, mutating into socialism and eventually secular humanism.


This virus is now spread right throughout the institutions of modern
civilization and effects humanity daily.


Is there an antidote to this virus?


The short answer is no. With populist two party politics in place, there
is no hope of ever rooting out the virus, which infects humanity.
Corruption will spread until eventually it will reach a critical mass
whereby our species will become suicidal. Not far off.


The corrupted masses - the mores, addicted as they are to the worship of
money and with it, power, are helpless in our present age. There are
wars and rumours of wars. It is just a matter of time.


Here in Australia, we see and read in the media each day, escalating
incidents of discovered corruption. How many remains undetected? The
political system is impotent to control the malfeasance, infected as it
is with the virus. The whole system of bureaucracy is thus infected as
secular humanism and materialism has spread voraciously.


What is the solution?


Humanity is powerless to root out the virus, so God must do it for us if
we as a species are to survive. Walking the tightrope of species
annihilation is simply not an option. Weapons of mass destruction to one
side, the more pernicious danger is a societal disruption, the likes of
which this planet has not experienced since those dark days 200,000
years ago in our dim past.


What lies before us?


When a third world war begins as a result of Israel being attacked by
forces of the UN
that fateful day will be upon us. The beginnings of that day are being
witnessed through the present Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Watch out
for other Arab states just itching to effect their long-cherished Jihad.
Suddam Hussein and others of his ilk will gladly oblige. Escalation of
hostilities will eventuate through the post-communist Russian regime and
the People's Republic of China. Their warped desires curtailed only by
the obvious defeat of a frontal assault by communism and its failure to
impress the secular humanists. Should weapons of mass destruction become
employed through aggression against an unyielding Israel, then species
annihilation is inevitable. It is not if but when.


With a lame-duck President of the United States, the future is somewhat
clouded. Whether it is Bush or Gore, the Congress will be loath to
commit American youth to the slaughterhouse of Jihad.


At a point in time, during these escalating hostilities God will
intervene, as He has done so in past history. Only this time the
intervention will be permanent. The age of mankind sovereignty will be
at an end. For those who wish to discover who He will send in power and
glory, go to the Book of Genesis and read up on a certain Melchizedek.

For this Melchizedek has a comprehensive plan for the rehabilitation of
our planet. First we must learn our cosmic lessons.


Man's way is becoming God's way.


The kingdom of God is at hand.
