BOB LINN
America's Orwellian Moment
Ministers of Disinformation
|
The threat to America and to freedom from tyranny was made clear in last week’s meeting. Dr. Gomarteli thought he was escaping communism only to find it in America’s political movements.
Even more foreboding are the reflections of Steve Anderson below. In the twisted moral undertones of our news media, leftist educators, and politicians, George Orwell’s 1984 has become a reality almost 40 years later.
|
In Orwell’s 1984, The Ministry of Truth’s main purpose was to spread lies.
This meant turning the meaning of words upside down.
Orwell called it "Newspeak." Forced labor camps were called "joycamps."
|
The party’s slogans included short phrases ...
"Ignorance is Strength" and "Freedom is Slavery."
|
This comes straight from the influence of one of the greatest proponents of Marxism of all time, Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979). Perhaps no one is more responsible for keeping Marxism going than Herbert Marcuse.
He emphasized the cultural elements of Marxist theory giving (among many other things) the Critical Race theory we see today. As a result, the failed economic elements of Marxism did not sink the Marxist ship.
|
Like all promoters of Marxism, Marcuse was a prolific “Minister of Disinformation.”
Marcuse taught that violence is non-violence.
Today’s news media, using Orwellian Newspeak, tell us that the burning of cities are peaceful protests.
Marcuse taught other concepts of misinformation used today. Freedom is totalitarianism, fiction is truth, democracy is dictatorship, education is indoctrination.
|
Marcuse has been the 20th century hero of Marxist revolutionaries world-wide. In 1968, France saw student revolts and signs bearing the names of the unholy trio:
Marx Mao Marcuse
The Democrat Party of the 21st Century has morphed into The Party of Orwell. It praises rapists and criminals while chastising the innocent. (I am referring, of course, to the praises heaped upon Jacob Blake. See Steve Anderson’s article below.)
|
Twentieth Century Dutch theologian, Hendrikus Berkhof, told us why we are seeing the rise of Marxist deception almost unresisted.
In 1958, he said, “The twentieth-century Church is spiritually unable to stand against the rapid changes that take place around her because she has not learned to view history from the perspective of the reign of Christ. For that reason, she thinks of the events of her own time in entirely secular terms.”
~Hendrikus Berkhof, Christ and the Meaning of History, P 15
The church is fully capable of intervening in this day in history, because, as Berkhof points out, “Her book, the Bible, is full of light, precisely for these abysses of history. She must set herself alongside this world and must dare to point to the answer.”
|
I believe the Marxist platform being built in America today will become the gallows on which they themselves will hang. Today's Church is divinely ordained to walk the earth at this moment in human history. Each of us were woven by Christ in the womb of our mother. Just as was Queen Esther, each of us have been placed on the earth for such a time as this. |
Wes Lane is an example of those who today are making disciples of the nations.
Through SALLT, Wes helps mentor Oklahoma's civic leaders.
He is part of the larger Church which continues to bear the light of Christ.
|
A light which will not be extinguished. |

MARK NELSON
BLM and Police
Reflections on Mark's Comments
by Bob Linn
|
Navigating America's Streets
Protecting A Nation.
|
Last Wednesday, Mark Nelson spoke to the OCPAC luncheon of the rise of violence against police in America.
The incidents have been encouraged, in part, by media and the entertainment industry.
It was five years ago when Mark spoke publicly about a Quinton Tarantino film, The Hateful Eight. Tarantino called policemen murderers.
Nelson said Tarantino’s use of the word “murderers” did “nothing to bring us together.” He said he'd never seen such an anti-police environment nationally. And, now, five years later, the hate police rhetoric has grown considerably worse through BLM and other organizations.
“To think that police are out to commit murder is ludicrous. If there was such a rogue individual, we would be the first to want him to be brought to justice.”
|
Last week, he commented on the compassion of police. Some who have been murdered as a result of over-extending themselves in their efforts to defuse the anger of a violent offender.
He emphasized the desire of most police to behave in a civil manner toward the suspects they apprehend.
Regrettably, some very good men have paid the ultimate price for their Christian compassion.

DR. MAMUKA GOMARTALI
BLM & Soviet Union
Summary of Dr. Gomarteli's comments by Bob Linn
|
"I was 28 when the Iron Curtain lifted" |
It often requires a voice from within communist tyranny to speak with prophetic authority to an emaciated American culture. Dr. Gomarteli spoke regarding the end result of movements who use the rhetoric of social justice as a platform for evil.
These tactics aptly describe the political foundations of the Soviet Union. It describes the revolutionary movements who control America's news media, entertainment industry (including sports), and corporate community.
Dr. Gomarteli pointed out the Marxist nature of the Black Lives Matter organization. He said:
"In 2018, Cullors promoted her book When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir. She described her introduction to and support for Marxist ideology. She expressed her appreciation for the work of the US Communist Party, “especially Black communists.”
Read Part 1 of Dr. Gomarteli's comments below.
Watch him on the OCPAC video here.

BLACK LIVES MATTER AND MARXISM
Part 1
by Dr. Mamuka Gomarteli
|
I was born in the Republic of Georgia.
In 1921, the Red Army invaded Georgia. Georgia was a country recognized by the League of Nations. It was a country with democratic institutions.
The Bolsheviks then came to power. A year later, against the people’s will, Georgia was incorporated into the Soviet Union.
|
I was 28 years old when the Soviet Union collapsed and the iron curtain fell.
The foundation for my move to America was completed in 1994. It was then that I earned my PhD in Theoretical Mechanics from Tbilisi State University.
On February 1, 1995, I arrived in the United States for the first time as an athlete to compete in the Long Beach, CA marathon.
|
I had never expected I would ever have called America home. I thought I was not good enough for the privilege.
I remember how eagerly, in the 70's and 80's, many young Georgian people and I tried to tune into the Georgian service of the radio program, Voice of America. It was, for us, a refreshing breath of freedom. Through Voice of America, we heard truth and we learned about a distant land. Yet, through our radio set, we were brought close to this country we admired for her distinguished role as a beacon of peace and democracy in the world.
|
MEDIA CONFUSED ABOUT POST OFFICE FINANCES |
Having come to America, I thought socialist slogans and radical-left rhetoric was a thing of the past; however, almost 30 years after the demise of the Soviet Union, I am having a déjà vu.
Since its inception in 2013, Black Lives Matter has been a Marxist, anti-police, radical organization that wants to tear down our homeland, the United States of America. The organization’s co-founder Patrisse Cullors described herself and fellow co-founder Alicia Garza as “trained Marxists super-versed on ideological theories.”
|
While promoting her book “When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir” in 2018, Cullors described her introduction to and support for Marxist ideology.
There she expressed her appreciation for the work of the US Communist Party, “especially Black communists.”
|
President Reagan once semi-jokingly remarked: “How do you tell a Communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin; and how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.” |
Let me tell you, I do understand Marx and Lenin. I have 28 years of “industry” experience.
As someone who’s seen all the delights of socialism, I can draw parallels between my past and what some left-wing political groups are trying to promote here.
Dr. Gomarteli will complete his comments in Part 2.
It will appear in next week's newsletter.
|
When will Black Lives Matter (BLM) and the Democrats start protesting in Chicago? According to data from the Chicago Tribune, more than 175 (almost all of which are black) children ages 16 or younger have been shot in the city this year and at least 21 of them have died.
|
On Chicago's south side last week, an innocent 8-year-old girl was shot while riding with her parents.
The 8-year-old died.
Her parents were critically injured and the vehicle crashed into a tree.
|
Quoting the Chicago Tribune: |
By the time the girl had been shot, Labor Day weekend had seen at least 44 people shot, six of them fatally. So far this year, at least 175 children ages 16 or younger have been shot in Chicago, with at least 21 of them dying, according to Tribune data. Of those, at least 45 children age 13 or younger have been shot, five of them fatally. In total, more than 2,850 people have been shot in the city this year, at least 464 of them fatally. |
It sickens me to see the weekend death and injury numbers from Chicago with no real effort to protect those who are trapped there. Black lives do matter and far more truly innocent young people die there at the hands of criminals than in police incidents.
|
The word "innocent" is not used without forethought. BLM, woke white people, and elements of anarchist groups 'protest' over "innocent" men like Jacob Blake. Nothing could be more Orwellian. Herbert Marcuse would be proud of this use of Orwell's "Newspeak" and the upside down use of words. Blake is a man who is charged with some really horrible crimes which prompted the attempted arrest.
Blake was wanted for being a sexual assault perpetrators, theft of a car, and theft of an ATM card. He used the card to steal at least a $1000 from a victim. Innocent?
Does BLM really want these kinds of people to run lose in society? He sexually abused a black 15-year-old and anyone who reads the police report should want this monster off the street.
|
The Democrat Presidential and Vice President candidates actually showed up to sympathize with this man who simply just had to comply with orders to stop. He would have had to bond out of jail or spend some time waiting for trial but he would healthy if he had just followed the orders. |
Is this really the sort of man who justifies burning down businesses and assaulting police officers?
You can argue excessive force was used but I suggest people read the police report AND view all the videos of this man forcefully resisting arrest. Then answer this question: What should cops do if a person is tazed and it fails and they continue to refuse to be arrested?
Do you just let violent criminals walk away when police try to arrest them? Does anyone think sexual assault is not a violent crime?
If you talk to someone who supports BLM or Joe Biden ask them these questions. I think the answers or lack of them will be insightful.

RENELL POTTER
by Brian Imes, OCPAC Vice President
|
Renell Potter passed away Sunday afternoon.
She was placed in hospice late last week.
She loved our Lord Jesus Christ with all of her being. She is no longer in pain and is now resting in the presence of her Savior.
Ren was a faithful OCPAC member for many years. She always brought a smile and made our meetings brighter.
Please respect the families privacy during this trying time. Most importantly, pray for her family and all her loved ones.
She will be missed.
We will see her again.

ENEMIES WITHIN THE CHURCH
By Bob Linn
|
MOVIE SOON TO LAUNCH
written by Bob Linn
|
Pastor Cary Gordon narrates this soon-to-be-released film exposing the Marxist infiltration into America's churches, seminaries, and Christian missionary movements.
Those involved in the film include Trevor Loudon and Curtis Bowers.
|
This film exposes shocking developments throughout the entire breadth of 21st century Christendom. Protestants, Catholics, and the Orthodox church have been infiltrated. Our beloved evangelistic organizations have seen wolves in sheep's clothing rise to the very top.
The head of the Russian Orthodox church is a KGB agent. The Pope is a Marxist. The evangelical church has been deeply penetrated. That penetration goes to the very top of institutions we thought were rock solid. This includes the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), the Southern Baptist Church, the former Campus Crusade for Christ (now, CRU), and many others.
The evidence is iron clad. I was on the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ and worked with founder and President, Dr. Bill Bright. Sadly, I have been made aware that Marxist concepts have become pervasive at their national conferences over the past few years. It is both clear and stunning. Marxist language is now a part of their programs on campuses throughout the nation.
I've also spent many years in the Southern Baptist Church. In addition, my wife and I founded a PCA church in our living room many years ago. In spite of my close relationship with all these institutions, the evidence of their fall from Godliness is overwhelming.
In the near future, I plan to focus on the developments within the organization I once knew as Campus Crusade for Christ.
It is important to expose these enemies who have crept into Christendom. These have entered our Christian institutions in an effort to destroy the Church. The "gospel" they promote will bear no fruit. Marxist ideology mixed with Bible verses will produce neither salvation nor the health, peace, and prosperity of civilizations.
Marxist concepts like social justice, critical race theory and the myths inherent in the concept of "white privilege" are ungodly, contrary to all of the Scriptures, and represent evil and destructive weapons designed to destroy the church, the family, and societies. They are drenched in narcissism and hatred.
These ideas, now permeating most of our seminaries and academic institutions (beginning in elementary school), will soon destroy the nation if we do not expose them for the evil they represent.

by OCPAC's Political Analyst today!
Science meets mysticism in a hidden war waged within the complexities of time and space to control the course of humanity.
Four young people enter a world where reality is not always what it seems. Once swept into the fray they find themselves as the primary weapon of one side of the conflict even as they try to determine who or what is using them and why.
The reader will join the four as they find that mysticism is layered within the fields of mathematics and physics in a way that may leave you wondering how much is really fiction.
