Waking Jonah

In the audio clip below, James Corbett introduces an excerpt from Martin Luther King, Jr.‘s acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize, in which King declares that “right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant“.

Although not included in the audio clip itself, I found the following excerpt from his speech to be equally compelling:

“Therefore, I must ask why this prize is awarded to a movement which is beleaguered and committed to unrelenting struggle; to a movement which has not won the very peace and brotherhood which is the essence of the Nobel Prize. After contemplation, I conclude that this award which I receive on behalf of that movement is a profound recognition that nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time–the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression. Civilization and violence are antithetical concepts.”

“Negroes of the United States, following the people of India, have demonstrated that nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation. Sooner or later all the people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. If this is to be achieved, man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”

- Martin Luther King, Jr. (Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech – Dec. 10, 1964)

I found this clip from the movie “Gandhi” to be quite instructive, as I believe the principle of nonviolent resistance can be strongly supported from a biblical perspective.

Is there a lesson here that modern American evangelicals seem to have missed in the pages of Scripture?

In light of my previous post–The Bigger The Lie, The Harder It Falls–you may be asking yourself the following question:

“If all this were true, how could the government and mainstream media possibly get away with such monumental lies and widespread corruption and not get caught?”

This is an excellent question, and it’s the first thing I asked myself as well. The answer is profound, yet simple…

First, they’re darn good liars.

That’s the easy part. It’s how they came to be this way that’s hard to understand.

Most people would probably agree that the majority of politicians are corrupt, dishonest, and self-seeking. Since the inception of our nation literally thousands of them have been caught in flat-out lies, scandals, corruption, and moral failures of every kind. Yet despite this fact, for the most part we continue to trust them to lead our country. We rationalize that these betrayals are isolated incidents and that the majority of government is well-meaning and really is looking out for our best interests.

What if just the opposite were true? What if the vast majority of our politicians are natural born liars, they just haven’t been found out yet?

In the most recent episode of The Corbett Report, James Corbett shares his research into the clinical definition of the word “psychopath“. Most people think the term strictly refers to those mentally insane lunatics who go on killing sprees and commit the most brutal types of murder. People associate the word “psychopath” with a complete and utter lack of self-control.

While it’s obvious that these types of individuals–people like Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, and others are indeed psychopathic, that doesn’t mean that all psychopaths look and act they way they do. In fact, there is another breed of “psychopath” that is far more dangerous than even these notorious killers.

I am referring to the “controlled psychopath“. These are the individuals that have the same evil thoughts and intentions as the Ted Bundy’s of the world, yet they are able to control themselves in order to rise to powerful positions, where they are able to deceive and inflict harm upon an even greater number of people. These are the real terrorists. They are extremely dangerous because they have absolutely no conscious, but the average person cannot tell they are faking their every emotion.

The evidence for this is quite clear. We see it over and over again in movies, television shows, and novels, let alone in real life. The man or woman we believe to be the “good guy” the whole time, turns out to be the evil mastermind bent on murder and destruction.

Think that doesn’t happen in real life? Listen to the following 3 min., 3 sec. audio clip from The Corbett Report and you will see glimpses of how this plays out in the real world everyday. (Also, check out the videos under the Related video section below). Imagine if these “controlled psychopaths” were filling the ranks of government throughout the entire world. You would be looking at well-composed psychopaths posing as the very saviors of the planet.

Think the idea sounds preposterous? Let’s not forget the power that Satan, the Father of Lies, holds over the earth to literally deceive millions upon millions of people. The evil rulers guiding the planet are not doing so by their own “ability” alone… they are being supernaturally charged by a dark spiritual force.

The end game of Satan’s evil agenda is to build the infrastructure for the meteoric rise to power of the Antichrist.
