the Right to Vote in the United States is a Fraud



WHY 'THE RIGHT TO VOTE' IN THE UNITED STATES IS A FRAUD

                       Proof That the United States of America (Minor) is a Foreign Corporation



Proof That the United States of America (Minor) is a Foreign Corporation... the Right to Vote in the USA is a Fraud...

Friday, June 5, 2015

 

If you want proof that the United States of America is a corporation, look at line 15 and 15(A) in title 28 U.S. Code § 3002 and you should see this sentence, ““United States” means— (A) a Federal corporation.”

When I say that the United States or the United States of America is a corporation, I am not talking about the landmass. What I am talking about is the District of Columbia (Washington D.C.), which is a 10 mile radius district that houses the corporation called the United States of America, Incorporated. This federal corporation is also known as the United States of America (Minor). As for the landmass, it is known as the Continental United States or the United States of America (Major).

When the United States of America, Inc. was first created, its main role was to act as a governmental services corporation for The United States of America (Major). The fraud to enslave the America people with debt really began when the International Banksters of the Federal Reserve bought the United States of America, Inc. and took over its agencies around 1911.

The United States of America, Inc. resides in Washington D.C. and is a foreign corporation. This is why it has a president and a vice president, just like Walmart and Target. Under Corporate Law, every corporation is required to have a president and a vice president.

The acronym “D.C.” in the term “Washington D.C.” stands for the District of Columbia, which is a district founded by a powerful masonic secret society called the Colombians. The Colombians also founded Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), Columbia Pictures, and Columbia University. Did you notice how similar the words Colombians and Columbia are?
 
One thing you should know about Columbia University is that it is located in New York. New York was founded by the York Rite, which is also another powerful masonic secret society. This is why it is called New York, which means the new city of the York Rite.

Did You Know the United States of America, Inc. Went Bankrupt in 1933?

In 1933, the United States of America, Inc. went bankrupt.

The United States  defined as “…the District of Columbia et alia” went “Bankrupt” in 1933 and was declared so by President Roosevelt in Executive Orders 6073, 6102, 6111, and finally, as consolidated in Executive Order 6260,
(See: Senate Report 93-549, pages 187 & 594) under the “Trading With The Enemy Act” (Sixty-Fifth Congress,  Sess. I, Chs. 105, 106, October 6, 1917), and as codified at 12 U.S.C.A. 95a. [Source]

To fix the bankruptcy problem, the International Banksters of the Federal Reserve collateralized every common United States citizens and used them to finance their corporation (United States of America, Inc.). In other words, we (the American people) have been securitized and used as collateral for the U.S. national debt, which is actually the debt of the United States of America, Inc.

When it comes to politics and finance, most of us lack knowledge in these two fields. Because of this, the International Banksters can easily trick us to think that the U.S. national debt is the debt of the American people. In reality, the U.S. national debt is the debt of the International Banksters and their corporation (the United States of America, Inc.).

Proof That Most United States Politicians are Treasonists

The content in block quotation is an excerpt from my second seminar on Natural Law. It contains information that gives us some clue as to why United States politicians are treasonists.

Nearly all politicians in the USA are TREASONISTS, because they swore an oath to a privately owned foreign corporation known as the UNITED STATES INCORPORATED. Washington D.C. or the District of Columbia is also a privately owned foreign corporation. Washington D.C. is NOT part of the USA, just like Vatican City is not part of Italy.
 
To find the evidence that nearly all politicians in the USA are treasonists, you need to be aware of Title 8 U.S. Code § 1481.

Under Title 8 U.S. Code § 1481:
 
“(a) A person who is a national of the United States whether by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by voluntarily performing any of the following acts with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality—

(2) taking an oath or making an affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state or a political subdivision thereof, after having attained the age of eighteen years;

(4)(A) accepting, serving in, or performing the duties of any office, post, or employment under the government of a foreign state or a political subdivision thereof, after attaining the age of eighteen years if he has or acquires the nationality of such foreign state;”
 
In simple terms, once an oath of office is taken by an American citizen, his citizenship is relinquished and thus he becomes a foreign agent. This happens because he is swearing an oath to the foreign UNITED STATES INCORPORATED and the foreign organization that controls it.

 
All of the candidates chosen for the highest positions in government are not chosen by party members or the public but are pre-selected by the Royal and Elite and each approved candidate must swear an allegiance to and render a pledge to adhere to the demands of these Corporate Directors and Masters.

Your so-called right to vote in America is actually about slave registration. Every applicant is asked if they are a United States Citizen or other. A US Citizen is defined in all law dictionaries as a corporate entity. Your vote really means nothing during an election because the electronic voting machines are rigged.

Why the ‘Right’ to Vote in the United States of America is a Fraud

In legal terms, your right to vote is actually a privilege because to be a United States citizen means that you are a legal person, also known as a corporation. A corporation is a fictitious entity that has no right. So, when politicians tell you that you have the right to vote as a United States citizen, they are already lying to you.

Every time you vote, you are giving your consent to be governed by treasonous politicians. These politicians do not care about you because they work for the Banking Elites, which are the International Banksters who own the United States of America, Inc.

The right to vote in the United States of America is a FRAUD, because your vote does not really matter and the voting system is rigged, just like a casino. Furthermore, when you vote, you are voting for a president of a FOREIGN corporation known as the United States of America, Inc.
 
One thing you need to know about the U.S. voting system is that the presidential candidates are chosen by the International Banksters and they control both of the Republican and Democratic parties. The idea that we have choices when it comes to electing presidential candidates is an illusion.

As an American, when you vote you are basically committing TREASON against the country called The United States of America (Major), which is made up of 50 separate nation states operating as a nation on the land jurisdiction. The United States of America (Minor) is operating under the international jurisdiction of the sea, which is based on Admiralty Law (the Law of the Sea).


The Covert Meanings of the Word 'Vote'

The word vote is defined as “a formal expression of opinion or choice, either positive or negative, made by an individual or body of individuals” or “the means by which such expression is made, as a ballot, ticket, etc.” These two definitions of the word vote only show you its meanings at the surface. To find the deeper meanings of the word vote, you need to use the art of phonics to help you see the relation among words.

Phonetically, the word vote sounds exactly like the word volt. Where do you go vote/volt at? In a voting terminal or a polling/poll-ing place. The word poll sounds similar to the word pole. A pole is the electric battery pole of positive (+) or negative (-). In other words, in order to vote you need to go to the polls/poles, so that you can place your vote/volt on the candidate that you want to see put in charge.

Once the votes/volts are counted, the politician or “pole-itician” that receives the most votes/volts is the one who is going to be put into the position of power. Maybe this is why it is called power politics. Are you starting to see the connection here?

The presidential election is nothing more than a game created by the International Banksters to con you to agree to be a battery, so that they can drain your energy. This is why before they can summon you to go to court, they need to charge you first. The content below explains this concept in greater details. It is extracted from my article titled The Esoteric Definition of Battery.

The word “battery” is an important word in commerce and law, because it has to do with the process of harnessing the energy of humanity. In other words, this is one of the many methods that they used to drain your energy.

This energy is then used by the Controllers to “charge” their corporations (“corpses” or “dead entities”), banks, and other commerce systems, so that they can keep their game of conning humanity going. Without our energy to “charge” their corporations and commerce systems, their con game will not have enough power to stay on.

As human beings, we are being used as “batteries.” This is why before we go to court, we have to be “charged” first. At the court hearing, the judge will read the “charges” and then “charge” them off after a verdict or judgement is made.

If there is a fine or fee included in the judgement, the defendant will be ordered to pay the fine with “currency.” The covert meaning of the word “currency” has to do with the “flow of energy.” This is why the stored energy in a battery is called “electric current” or the “currency of electricity.”
 
If you live in the USA and want to be free and help spread freedom throughout the world, do not participate in the U.S. presidential election in November 2016. If you do, you are basically committing treason against the United States of America (Major), which is the land that you were born on.

If you do not live in the USA, your voting system is most likely taken over by the International Banksters too. This is because most politicians throughout the world are bought off by the International Banksters (the leaders of the New World Order), especially the politicians of Western countries. This means that when you vote for a candidate in your country, you may also be committing treason against your original country.

‘US banks rigged $12.8 trillion market’


US BANKS RIGGED $12.8 TRILLION MARKET

US banks might have rigged another huge market, Bloomberg reports.

US BANKS MIGHT HAVE RIGGED ANOTHER HUGE MARKET - BLOOMBERG REPORTS 

Fri Sep 18, 2015 7:49 AM


Dealers including top American banks which control the $12.8 trillion US Treasury market rigged bond auctions for years, Bloomberg reports. 

Citing a federal antitrust lawsuit, the financial data and news provider says the likes of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley coordinated to manipulate Treasury auctions.

The 115-page lawsuit has been filed in Manhattan federal court by a number of law firms against 22 primary dealers “who serve as the backbone of Treasury trading”, Bloomberg said.

It comes as the US Justice Department probes whether information in the Treasury auction market is being shared improperly by financial institutions.

The US Treasury market helps set interest rates on everything from home mortgages to credit cards and is often described as the largest, most-liquid market in the world.

Earlier this year, Bloomberg revealed that US Treasury traders at some banks learned of customer demand hours before auctions, and were communicating with their counterparts at other firms via chat rooms as recently as last year.



The US Treasury initially sells bonds to primary dealers like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley who in turn sell them to clients, creating a secondary market for trading.

A probe into their practices found that more than two-thirds of a certain type of Treasury auction have been rigged from 2009 to 2015 while there were issues with other auctions, too.

“The only plausible explanation is that Defendants coordinated artificially to influence the results of the auctions in the primary market,” according to the lawsuit.

The dealers artificially boosted yields while lowering prices when auctions were initially issued before selling them at higher prices and correspondingly lower yields in the secondary markets, an analysis of their dealings found.

The analysis has been conducted by a New York University adjunct associate professor whose technique helped uncover rigging of the London interbank offer rate, or Libor which resulted in about $20 billion of fines.

According to Bloomberg, a similar lawsuit has been filed against Wall Street dealers who are accused of colluding to push prices artificially low at auctions, and to drive prices for when-issued securities to artificially high levels.

Everything You Suspected About E-ZPass


This New Report Confirms What You Suspected All Along About E-ZPassThis New Report Confirms Everything You Suspected About E-ZPass


'Government' agencies can track your every move by using the E-ZPass electronic toll collection devices that make driving on toll roads so much easier, the ACLU is alleging. To make matters worse, some cybersecurity experts say the devices could be easily hacked by thieves because the data is not encrypted.

Although E-ZPass has been around for a while, drivers always have had the option of using coins or bills to pay the toll. That is changing in Massachusetts, which is replacing all human toll connectors on the Massachusetts Turnpike with E-ZPass.

The 'government' is going to be able to track private citizens,” Massachusetts State Senator Robert Hedlund, a Republican, told the Boston Herald. “This is absolutely going to be a privacy issue for my constituents.”

E-ZPass readers are already being used to track vehicle movements in New York, the ACLU says. It discovered that dozens of E-ZPass readers had been set up all over New York City, far from toll booths, in order to track movement through the city.

“New documents obtained by the New York Civil Liberties Union reveal that wireless E-ZPass tollbooth transponders are being read routinely throughout New York City to systematically collect location data about drivers,” an ACLU report said.

A privacy expert designed a device that “mooed” every time “it detected signals on the same frequency that E-ZPass readers use,” the ACLU report said.” It “mooed” throughout Manhattan, even though no toll booths were around.

An E-ZPass unit is a wireless device mounted inside a vehicle that an electronic toll reader “reads.” The signal tells a computer system that a car is driving on a toll road or in a toll lane. The system then bills the driver or owner of the car for driving on the turnpike or in the fast lanes. Most systems have monthly plans.

The ACLU used a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain more data on the readers in New York. The organization learned that New York City and the New York State Department of Transportation had set up 149 E-ZPass readers around the city in an attempt to determine traffic volumes. The ACLU also discovered that similar programs are in place in other parts of New York State.

The ACLU found that 'government' officials tried to keep the readers secret and did not have privacy protections. There are no rules in place for how long the data can be stored or even what can be done with it, the ACLU said.
Privacy experts in Massachusetts are concerned that the same thing could happen in their state.

“They’re not using encryption, so unbeknownst to most E-ZPass users, the tag can be read from almost anywhere,” cybersecurity expert Gary Miliefsky told the Boston Herald. “Hackers could easily read your number from your car and make their own pass using your account number.”

Miliefsky says hackers could steal financial information or make fake E-Z passes that would enable crooks to drive free on the toll road by using someone else’s number. The unsuspecting motorist would then get the bill.

E-ZPass and similar systems are being used all over the country in an attempt to raise money by state highway departments. A similar system recently was installed on special lanes on Interstate 70 through Colorado’s mountains.

The best way not to be monitored through E-ZPass is to simply put the device in the glove compartment when you are not driving on the toll road, Miliefsky advised. The device can only be read when it is within sight of a reader.

Auto insurance companies and car dealerships are spying on you



AUTO INSURANCE COMPANIES AND CAR DEALERSHIPS ARE SPYING ON YOU!!!!

 
WARNING!  If you used the DealerApp, you've just given approximately 500 car dealerships all your personal information!

"The personal information collected by the apps and allegedly transmitted to DealerApp included the consumer’s name, email address, telephone number, and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the vehicle purchased, among other data. The state alleged that DealerApp failed to disclose to consumers that this data was being transmitted by DealerApp, in violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. Some of the data was provided to third-party data analytics companies, again without disclosure, the state charged."

According to Consumer Affairs.com: "About 500 dealers world wide, including 38 in New Jersey, are DealerApp clients."

“The number of threats to online privacy appear to be growing by the day,” said Steve Lee, Acting Director of the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. “No one should be able to profit from the personal information of others that has been obtained through cyber fraud or violations of privacy.”

Here are a few new car apps that might be also spying on you:  "TrueCar," "Cars.com," "CarChecker ," "Edmunds," "CarMax ," "Kelley Blue Book."  
 
Keep in mind anytime you voluntarily give away your personal information, anyone and everyone will have access to it.

Remember, car dealers had to be forced to keep most of our information private.  The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was designed to stop car dealerships shady business practices. Click here to read the "FTC's Privacy Rule and Auto Dealers" and here to read the "A Dealer Guide To The FTC Privacy Rule and Model Privacy Notice."

The irony, of course, is car manufacturers have been making cars that spy on us for years.

Allstate Insurance wants cameras to spy on other drivers and identify any distractions!
 
Allstate's “Traffic-based Driving Analysis" patent uses sensors and cameras to record potential sources of driver distractions inside your car like a cell phone, pets or unsecured objects in a vehicle.
 
It'll also spy on the number and types of passengers inside the car!

Quoting from the American Police State party line, Allstate says it's all for driver "SAFETY" which is B**LLSH*T!

It's about spying on everyone and turning a huge profit...

“Most of the Allstate patent provides more detail on the company's potential vision for developing driver safety ratings based on such factors as vehicle speed, acceleration and adherence to stop signs. For example, operation of the vehicle without headlights and changes in vehicle direction without turn signals might be recorded.”
 
Did you catch that they want to spy on whether you come to a complete stop at a STOP sign and whether you use your TURN signals?!

This is an admission by an insurance CEO of complete and total surveillance which will ultimately result in higher insurance rates and tickets or driver's license suspensions in the near future!

“Usually the drill is to create as broad a patent as is defensible so the company can monetize it if someone else wants to license it,” said Harold J. Krent, dean of IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law. “But, on the other hand, if they apply the patent at its broadest, there’s huge implications in terms of who gets the information, who it’s shared with.  Will the information go to health insurance companies?  Will it go to police authorities?  To child custody attorneys? We simply don’t know right now.”

Of course we know soon EVERY police department will want access to this technology.

Insurance companies want to sell your driving habits to the 'government', potential employees, banks, credit card companies and that's just for starters!

Allstate's Chief Executive Tom Wilson then raised the question of whether Allstate could or should "sell this information we get from people driving around to various people and capture some additional profit and, perhaps, give a better value proposition to our customers that we're not giving today?"

"The recorded data may also provide an objective behavioral data collection system for third parties, e.g., health insurance companies, lending institutions, credit-rating companies, product and service marketing companies, potential employers, to evaluate an individual's behavioral characteristics in a real-life and commonly experienced situation, i.e., driving a motor vehicle," the patent said.

The future of American policing is staring everyone in the face.  It's no longer about safety.  It's about balancing their budgets, paying for the 2.3 million in our jails and the untold millions who have been ticketed and fined by police.

Here's the breakdown from Insurance Business America on what Allstate wants to spy on:
 
  • Who is riding in the car, including the number and age of passengers
  • Driver’s phone use while driving
  • Eating habits of the driver
  • “Potentially distracting” objects in the car, including animals trash or bags
  • Seating position
  • Driver’s eyeline
  • Stereo volume
  • Heart rate
  • Blood pressure
  • Alcohol content in the air (which should come as no surprise to my readers.  Click here to find out more.)  
  • Allstate also has a patent called "Motor Vehicle Operating Data Collection and Analysis" system.

    Major auto insurance companies including Allstate, Progressive and State Farm are trying to get drivers to install “telematic devices” in their cars. These surveillance gadgets are marketed under various names and are plugged into your vehicle’s onboard diagnostic port.

    Most car companies have connectivity systems that constantly ping your whereabouts to the automakers, police and of course you!  Here's a few examples: “HondaLink” and “BlueLink,”  “AudiConnect,” “MazdaConnect” and “uConnect.”

    "A car’s data is an absolute treasure trove of information on individuals and can be accessed by a surprisingly large number of organizations," said Vincent Gogolek, Freedom of Information and Privacy Association's executive director.

    In 2012, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that 96% of 2013 model vehicles have event data recorders  which can track when the airbags are set off, if brakes are applied before a collision and even whether the seatbelts were buckled.

    Chevrolet’s 2016 Malibu will feature a system called "Teen Driver" that lets parents SPY on their kid’s driving habits.

    It allows parents to set speed alerts, limit audio volume, and even receive vehicle reports “so parents could use it as a teaching tool with their kids—they can discuss and reinforce safe driving habits.”

    Teens drivers will also get an audible and visual warning if a vehicle travels over pre-set speeds (between 40 and 75 miles per hour!

    There are more spying devices in our cars...
    Electronic Control Units which are in every vehicle, keep track of everything from how fast you drive to how long your car idles and how suddenly you brake, the report says. Your car’s GPS system, for example, also keeps track of your exact location, sending that information to the car’s manufacturer, or possibly a third-party call center or an insurance agency.

    Detailed information about where a person spends their time paints a disturbing picture of their life!

    “Such data can be used to embarrass or blackmail a person, to stalk individuals, to steal identities, to facilitate robberies, or to create a profile that can then be used by commercial entities in unexpected ways.”

    Somewhere in the not too distant future.....

    You and your family take a 3 1/2 hour drive. As you're driving down the highway you notice you're going 15 miles over the speed limit.  "Not to worry" you think. You haven't seen a cop for miles. As you exit the highway, the road appears deserted so you come to a rolling stop at a few intersections. And finally, just as you get close to your destination, you get stuck behind a slow moving vehicle. Frustrated by the long drive, you pass the vehicle without using a turn signal in a no passing zone.

    When you finally arrive at your destination, you think to yourself "We were lucky we didn't see a single cop." Upon arriving home from your trip, you get a notice of numerous traffic violations totaling hundreds of dollars from the police in EVERY town where you committed an infraction. And you also got a notice informing you that your auto insurance plans to deduct drivers license points, resulting in higher insurance premiums.

    All this thanks to the numerous spying technologies that are in use right now. One's like traffic and highway cams, Fast Lane transponders, insurance surveillance gear and auto manufacturer black boxes.

    This is the future of driving in America!

    Japan to allow military role overseas in historic move

    Japan to allow military role overseas in historic move

    September 18, 2015 in Current Events, Global Conflict, Government, Military, News, Politics, World News by Slad

    BBC | September 18

    Japan’s parliament has voted to allow the military to fight overseas for the first time since the end of World War Two 70 years ago.
    A vote on the new law was delayed for several hours as the opposition tried to stop the measure coming into force.
    Outside, demonstrators rallied in a last-ditch show of protest.
    Many Japanese are attached to the pacifist provisions in the constitution which banned fighting overseas.
    The bills have already passed through the government-dominated lower house.

    Image caption There was heavy security outside parliament ahead of the vote
    The government says that the changes in defence policy are vital to meet new military challenges such as those posed from a rising China.
    It wanted to hold the vote before a five-day holiday begins on Saturday. The governing coalition has a majority in both chambers of the Diet, meaning that ultimately the opposition camp was powerless to stop the measure becoming law.
    Masaaki Yamazaki, the president of the upper house, said the bills were passed with 148 lawmakers voting in support and 90 against.
    More than 200 hours have been spent deliberating the legislation, the Japan Times reported, and its approval by parliament fulfils one of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s long-held ambitions.
    On Thursday, opposition politicians tried to physically delay proceedings ahead of a committee vote on the bills.

    What is collective self-defence?

    Japan’s post-World War Two constitution bars it from using force to resolve international conflicts except in cases of self-defence.
    Mr Abe’s government has pushed for security legislation that would allow Japan’s military to mobilise overseas when these three conditions are met:
    • when Japan is attacked, or when a close ally is attacked, and the result threatens Japan’s survival and poses a clear danger to people
    • when there is no other appropriate means available to repel the attack and ensure Japan’s survival and protect its people
    • use of force is restricted to a necessary minimum
    What’s behind Japan’s military shift?

    The bills prompted large public protests for months.
    The changes re-interpret rather than formally change the constitution. But critics say this will violate the pacifist constitution and could lead Japan into unnecessary US-led wars abroad.

    Speaking in parliament on Friday, Akira Gunji, of the opposition Democratic party, said: “We should not allow such a dangerous government to continue like this.
    “Prime Minister Abe’s security bill is a threat to our legal framework.”
    Supporters of the measures, which are backed by Washington, insist they are essential for the defence of Japan and its regional allies, and will permit greater involvement in peacekeeping activities around the world.

    What kinds of military actions would the laws allow?

    • Japan would be able to provide logistical support to South Korea if the North invaded, though Mr Abe has said it would still be against the constitution to send Japanese troops to fight on Korean soil.
    • It would be legal for Japan to shoot down a North Korean missile headed for the US. Currently, they have to threaten Japan to justify shooting them down. North Korea is thought to be several years from being able to hit mainland US targets though.
    • Military action to keep shipping lanes secure, such as minesweeping, even if in an active conflict zone, might be allowed if the restriction on shipping was severe enough to constitute a threat to Japan’s survival. But there have been different answers on how severe that restriction would have to be – especially relevant for resource-poor Japan. The deputy leader of the Mr Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), Masahiko Komura, has said that relatively minor problems like an oil price increase would not be enough – there would have to be a clear danger to people in Japan.
    • Armed involvement in hostage rescues would also become possible. In January 2013, 10 Japanese hostages were killed at the Amenas gas plant in Algeria.
    • Regional limits on Japanese military support for US and other foreign armed forces would also be eliminated.
    Critics have focused on what they say is ambiguity in how the principles of the legislation will be interpreted, and the possibility that future governments will interpret them more broadly.

    Corporations on attack against Christians

    Corporations on attack against Christians

    'Conservative' business community shows no fear of offending believers


    Carl Gallups
    Carl Gallups

    To hear progressives tell it, big business is a bastion of conservatism and reactionary thought. So why are corporations so eager to champion homosexuality and insult Christian beliefs? One pastor argues it’s because business leaders aren’t just interested in making money – they want to turn the culture away from Christianity.
    Carl Gallups, a pastor, talk show host, and author of the new book “Be Thou Prepared,” argues Christians should be aware of the social agenda being pushed by a powerful minority, including those in high positions in corporate America.
    “In addition to making money, corporations are often dedicated to using their money to push the agendas that are near and dear to the hearts of the corporate managers,” Gallups told WND. “Increasingly, these managers are discovering they possess great power to shape the direction of public opinion and social norms.”
    One of the ways they do this, Gallups notes, is through partnerships and funding agreements with far left activists. In the latest case, Frito-Lay is supporting Dan Savage, a pro-homosexuality activist noted for delivering a profanity-laden tirade against Christianity in front of a huge school audience and wishing cancer on Sarah Palin. The company rolled out a new line of “Doritos Rainbows” chips to show their “commitment to the LGBT community” and sales will go to Savage’s nonprofit organization.
    Gallups, whose latest book instructs Christians on how to prepare for increasing persecution, was not surprised by the company’s decision to “literally wrap itself in the gay flag.”

    Be Thou Prepared cover

    Said Gallups: “The Doritos’ affair is just one more attempt, in a line of many more to come, that will be designed to continually push the envelope of promoting a radical social agenda upon the entire American culture while being directly applicable to only a super-minority of Americans. My book is an attempt to prepare Christians for the campaign that is coming.”
    Frito-Lay’s decision is practically guaranteed to offend at least some customers. However, Paul Kengor, a university professor, historian and author of “Takedown,” thinks several factors are even more important than the basic free market desire to appeal to customers.
    “The first explanation could be simply that so many of these corporate headquarters are in big cities, where liberalism is the prevailing zeitgeist,” said Kengor. “But probably a more important reason is that the heads of these corporations are merely the intellectual children of our horrendous universities, where the holy trinity is race, gender, and sexual orientation.
    “As I note in ‘Takedown,’, cultural Marxists like Herbert Marcuse had a huge influence on the 1960′s New Left, which took over higher education. The cultural Marxists argued that things like sexual orientation and gender were fluid and interchangeable, and that traditional marriage and family and sexuality be damned. The suits running these companies indeed come from the liberal universities that have been teaching this stuff for decades now. They’ve had their cultural-intellectual brainwashing. The universities did their job nicely.”
    Gallups also believes the education system is at the core of current corporate policy.
    “Generations of American children have grown up to believe that we came from an accidental chemical sludge pond, that we can kill our unborn children at will and that marriage and sexuality is whatever one defines it to be,” observed Gallups. “And now those children are all grown up and sitting on the boards and in the executive positions of America’s corporations. So why should any of this surprise us?”
    But the simplest explanation may be the best to explain Frito-Lay’s action – companies no longer think they have anything to fear from offending Christians and are afraid of homosexual activists.
    “From a purely marketing standpoint, one would think that corporate America might be concerned about offending traditional Christians,” mused Kengor. “But I don’t think that’s so. Christians aren’t relentless and brutal like the liberal forces of ‘tolerance’ and ‘diversity’ who boycott, picket, protest, demonize, dehumanize, fine, and even incarcerate those who dare to disagree with their new definitions of marriage, family, and sexuality. So corporations are happy to outrage Christians. They won’t dare outrage the forces of ‘tolerance’ and ‘diversity.’”
    Dr. Michael Brown, an expert who has written several books on homosexuality argues Christian views are seen as beneath consideration by many business leaders.
    “It’s clear that most of corporate America has very deep gay sensitivities but almost no Christian sensitivities, and corporate leaders are quite willing to celebrate homosexuality no matter how much it offends Christians and other people of faith,” said Brown. “It would appear that our views are being viewed as either irrelevant or intolerant, so the progressive, enlightened thing to do is celebrate LGBT activism at the expense of people of faith and moral conviction.”
    Brown argued the status quo will remain in place as long as Christians are silent in response to what he called an “insult.”
    “Christians need to understand they cannot avoid dealing with activism,” stressed Brown. “That’s what I’ve been stressing for years, and is what I talk about in my latest book, “Outlasting the Gay Revolution.”
    Brown suggested Christians should send a “polite note” to the Doritos headquarters saying they are offended by this new campaign and will no longer eat Doritos. He joked, “Besides, from a health perspective that might not be a bad choice either!”
    But Brown demands Christians understand what is at stake is more than a corporation. It is whether they are willing to give their money to a person who despises them.

    “The worst thing of all is that Doritos has partnered with gay activist and sex columnist Dan Savage, rightly called an anti-Christian bully,” said Brown. “Every bag of rainbow flag Doritos that a Christian buys helps support an ungodly cause.”
    Gallups considers this a test for the American Christian community. He says it is time for Christians to hit the company where it hurts – in the bottom line.
    “We will now see if the 70 percent of Americans that define themselves as Christians will protest by refusing to buy the new ‘gay agenda’ Doritos bag,” the pastor said. “If there is a financial backlash to it the product line will be discontinued and the hypocrisy behind the politically correct talk will be exposed.
    “We vote with our money. We are living in a society that is determined to go the way of Sodom and Gomorrah. We are living in prophetic times. There will be plenty of opportunity for Christians to share the gospel message and the love of Jesus Christ during these times. Christians should stay engaged in the culture and be the salt and the light. This is the time for which we have been raised up.”
    Whatever Christians do, Kengor insists the Left’s move to “total politicization” will continue. Shaking his head, he stated: “For liberals, the sales of the product don’t matter. It’s all about the politics of the product.
    “For the American Left, there’s a much more critical ‘fundamental transformation’ of America and human nature at stake. Doritos can be yet another tool in the Left’s never-ending and ever-expanding culture war, where everything is political. Even snack food.”
