THE<\/strong> Gospel calls us to share our possessions with one another, particularly the poor\u2014a voluntary dispossession<\/a> of our goods and our time. However, the anti-gospel<\/em> calls for a sharing of goods that flows, not from the heart, but from a political system that controls and distributes wealth according to the whims of the State. This is known by many forms, particularly that of Communism, <\/em>which was birthed in 1917 in the Moscow revolution led by Vladimir Lenin.<\/p>\n

Seven years ago when this writing apostolate began, I saw a strong image in my heart that I wrote about in The Great Meshing<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

“IT <\/strong>is nearly complete.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Those words were accompanied by the image of several machines with gears<\/em>. These machines \u2014 political, economical, and social, operating throughout the world \u2014 have been running independently for several decades, if not centuries.<\/p>\n

But I could see in my heart their convergence: the machines are all in place<\/em>, about to mesh into one Global Machine called “Totalitarianism<\/em>.” The meshing will be seamless, quiet, barely noticed. Deceptive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Machine behind this Global Revolution<\/em> is now “in gear”… what was seamless, quiet, barely noticed is beginning to make noise as the engine of this beast<\/em> begins to churn….\u00a0<\/p>\n

CYPRUS… THE BEGINNING<\/p>\n

In a move that has surprised economists and politicians alike, the nation of Cyprus has conceded to European Union and International Monetary Fund demands for a 20 per cent tax on bank deposits over 100,000 euros at its major bank, and a four per cent levy on deposits of the same amount at other banks.
