Canadian Pastor ARTUR PAWLOWSKI at OCPAC | School Boards 4 Kids | Shostakovich: Music of Freedom Published Monday, July 5, 2021 This week at Central Oklahoma Home Builders  CANADA'S FIGHTING PASTOR PASTOR ARTUR PAWLOWSKI AT NOON WEDNESDAY Central Oklahoma Home Builders From Poland to OCPAC On April 4, Calgary Police sought to interrupt Pastor Artur Pawlowski's Sunday morning Easter services. The government's complaint: too many people in church! The police retreated as pastor Pawlowski told them they had no right to be there and were operating as "Nazis" and the "Gestapo." The Alberta government persisted and later arrested Pawlowski for promoting, organizing, and attending illegal in-person gatherings (church). In December of last year, he was fined for failing to wear a mask. Artur Pawlowski is outspoken about the cultural sin of our day. He speaks clearly about homosexuality, abortion, and divorce. Born in Kizuchow, Poland, he came to Calgary, Alberta Canada to restore the city and the nation seeking to persecute him. Bring your children, family, friends, and especially your pastor this Wednesday for a rare opportunity to meet the man who has refused to be intimidated. His knees are bowed only to Christ. Pawlowski has been awarded the Free Speech Award. MEETING LOCATION Central Oklahoma Home Builders 420 E.

BOB LINN The Hope of A Nation Nobel laureate, Orthodox Christian, and one of the great anti-communist dissidents, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, challenged the West with one profound message: We cannot hope to resist the coming of soft totalitarianism if we do not have our spiritual lives together. He would agree that the foundation of the communist crisis in every nation in which it has taken root is purely theological. When a society abandons its devotion to Christ, it is ripe for a totalitarian crisis. When Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago was published, its pages revealed to the West the rottenness of the Soviet government’s totalitarian butchery. It revealed another message to Soviet tyrants: Solzhenitsyn must go. An invitation to leave his Russian homeland was extended on February 12, 1974. Before he left Russia, he published a final message to his fellow Russians. It was titled, Live Not by Lies. A culture which abandons Christ as its foundation no longer lives on a foundation of truth. It has been replaced with any one of a vast assortment of human mythologies and becomes the tainted soil which allows the political weeds of totalitarianism. A decadent culture is interested in personal pleasure as opposed to the pursuit of the high ideals of the Biblical Christianity which built Western Civilization. Marxism is a secular religion which takes root in the soil of cultural decadence. It is the religion of the post-Christian American mind. It is not, however, the religion of a still vibrant Christian core which continues to pray and stand firm for the eternal and unshakable truth found in the Word of God. It is our job to make sure that what the church in Russia allowed is not allowed by the church in America. For a bit of motivation, consider how rapidly Russian soil turned foul. Solzhenitsyn comments on the noted Russian writer, Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) and the realities of the Marxism Lenin (1870-1924) brought to Russian soil. In his Gulag Archipelago, Solzhenitsyn writes on page 39: If the intellectuals in the plays of Chekhov who spent all their time guessing what would happen in twenty, thirty, or forty years had been told that in forty years interrogation by torture would be practiced in Russia; that prisoners would have their skulls squeezed with iron rings; that a human being would be lowered into an acid bath; that they would be trussed up naked to be bitten by ants and bedbugs; that a ramrod heated over a primus stove would be thrust up their anal canal (the ‘secret brand’); that a man’s genitals would be slowly crushed beneath the toe of a jack-boot; and that, in the luckiest possible circumstances, prisoners would be tortured by being kept from sleeping for a week, by thirst, and by being beaten to a bloody pulp, not one of Chekhov’s plays would have gotten to its end because all the heroes would have gone off to insane asylums. The spiritual and subsequent intellectual demise of our American Universities is a carbon copy of the demise of the Russian universities. That, with the wedge Marxist drove between elements of Russian culture, Lenin’s horror chambers took root. Rod Dreher, in his recent book, Live Not by Lies, summarized the empty promises of the man-made myths which prop up Marxist propaganda. On page 48, he states: What Russia’s young artists, intellectuals, and cultural elite hoped for and expected was the end of autocracy, class division, and religion, and the advent of a world of liberalism, equality, and secularism. What they got instead was dictatorship, gulags, and the extermination of free speech and expression. Communists had sold their ideology to gullible optimists as the fullest version of the thing every modern person wanted: Progress. He goes on to discuss the contrast of secularist mythology with the foundations upon which the West was built and our Puritan forefathers who founded a nation on the shoulders of Christ and the Word of God. Toward the close of Rod Dreher’s Live Not by Lies, (Pages 129-150) he tells the story of Vaclav Benda, considered to be the force of the Christian resistance to the former communist state in Czechoslovakia. Vaclav’s son, Patrick said, “Father believed that the communists would fall, and that he would live to see it happen.” Kamila, Vaclav’s wife, said, “He had the conviction that to destroy the communist regime was his mission in life.” Daughter Marketa said, “He believed that he was accountable before God, not before people. He acted in the sight of God. The Bible gave him strength, because it was full of stories of the prophets and others going beyond the border of what was comprehensible or understandable to the people, for the sake of obeying the Lord." The resistance led to a Christian victory in Czechoslovakia. In 1988, underground church leaders organized the Candlelight Demonstration in Bratislava. It was the largest protest in Czechoslovakia in almost 30 years. Water cannons were use to disperse thousands who had gathered to pray. Quoting Dreher, “It was too late for the communists: the momentum was with the people. Within two years, communism was over.” Dreher ends his book with this quote from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: The thicker our ranks, the shorter will be this path for us all! If we become thousands – they will not cope, they will be unable to touch us. If we grow to tens of thousands – we will not recognize our country! But, if we shrink away, then let us cease complaining that someone does not let us draw breath – we do it to ourselves! If we shrink away, then we are worthless, hopeless, and it is of us that Pushkin (17991837) asks with scorn: “Why should cattle have the gifts of freedom? Their heritage from generation to generation is the belled yoke and the lash. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Live Not by Lies Come this Wednesday to meet in person a leader of the Christian resistance to the Canadian government, Pastor Artur Pawlowski. I'll see you this Wednesday! God bless! INTRODUCING OCPAC'S BOLD NEW INITIATIVE SB4Kids intends to return Oklahoma's school boards to parental authority for the good of our children's future. Superintendents have usurped the authority endowed to our school boards, and their unions control the legislature's votes on bills designed to restore full parental authority over their children's education. Superintendents have cooperated with the evil represented in the NEA and their Oklahoma affiliate, the OEA. The teacher's union advocates for the sexual ethics of the anti-Christ. See their promotion of LGBTQ here. We intend to place our children's curriculum back in the hands of the parents who elect school board members. And take the perversion out of the Oklahoma classroom. The NEA has a plan to indoctrinate the superintendents of Oklahoma. With your help, we will put an end to that plan. CITY ELDERS WELCOMES SB4Kids & OCPAC to Tulsa, Oklahoma OCPAC executive team member, Reed Downey, is the project chairman for SB4Kids. Reed was in Tulsa last Thursday evening with our OCPAC SB4Kids team to meet our City Elder friends in Tulsa. Elizabeth Raymond has helped spearhead our mission to recover the future for Oklahoma's children and was on hand to discuss the mission. Reed and Elizabeth were joined by Pastor Rick Musgrove, Mary Alsobrook, Heather Pope, and Anette Basey. CITY ELDERS BANQUET More than 600 heard about SB4Kids JESSE RODGERS ENDORSES SB4Kids Anyone who has been to a City Elders meeting are well aware that Jesse Rodgers pulls no punches when it comes to the National Educational Association (NEA) and its associate, the Oklahoma Educational Association (OEA). Last week, the NEA met to launch its own assault. The organization, which represents thousands of Oklahoma's teachers, just voted to spread and further promote critical race theory (CRT), an anti-Christian, racist ideology of hate which is promoted by cultural Marxists, public schools, the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, and higher education throughout Oklahoma. See the NEA action here. They plan to be sure we understand the evils of America's white power, white oppression, cisheteropatriarchy, and capitalism. Learn more by reading the summary of what our teachers have in store for our children in the Epoch Times here. City Elders founder, Jesse Rodgers, has placed the remediation of education in Oklahoma as one of the primary focuses of City Elders over the coming years. OCPAC PRESIDENT BOB LINN EXPLAINES SB4KIDS We cannot build a society on the crumbs of secularism and its impoverished diet of spiritual, moral, and intellectual scraps. We are teaching our second graders the basics of sexual perversion under the guidance of the OEA and the superintendents of Oklahoma's of schools. And, when they graduate as seniors, they may be unable to read, let alone understand either the vital elements of the epistemological foundations of life itself or the role of the Word of God in building the West. See what your local school superintendent has in mind for your second grader this year on pages 20 & 21 here. Thanks to SB4Kids leader, Elizabeth Raymond, for bringing this report to our attention. This must stop. We ask each of you to join us. If you will email us today, we will provide information which will enable you to join with our statewide effort to restore sanity to this state's schools and its legislative body. Last Thursday, 69 signed to join us in this most vital mission to reclaim our children, our families, and the legislature who writes the education laws for our children. Join us. Email us today. [email protected] SHOSTAKOVICH The Protest Against Fascism Inherent in Leningrad Symphony by Bob Linn We should all learn to love the great symphonies and teach them to our children. It is an element of the development of cultural depth and Christ-honoring music. The Symphony No. 7 in C major is nicknamed the Leningrad. It premiered in 1942. It became popular in both the Soviet Union and also in the West as a symbol of resistance to fascism and totalitarianism. It was as much anti-Hitler as it was anti-Stalin. The music is a protest against terror, slavery, and oppression. Shostakovich himself said, "Everyone feared everyone else, and the sorrow oppressed and suffocated us. It suffocated me, too. I had to write about it, I felt it was my responsibility, my duty. I had to write a requiem for all those who died, who had suffered. I had to describe the horrible extermination machine and express protest against it." Through clandestine means, the score came to the U.S.A. via microfilm. It was given to Arturo Toscanini who led a broadcast performance on July 19, 1942. As a result, Time magazine placed the Russian composer, Shostakovich, on its cover. The reason I am writing this article is to introduce you to an incredibly well done musical documentary on the history of this symphony of political protest. It is an hour an a half long. Watch it here. To just watch the symphony performed in its entirety, watch here. LAST WEEK MAJOR JEFF STRUECKER BLACK HAWK DOWN Without any doubt, Major Jeff Struecker carries the mantle of Christ and inspired audiences nationwide. He inspired us and encouraged us to be the warriors God has called us to be in the fight to restore America to its Biblical foundations. OCPAC thanks Senator Shane Jett for a wonderful introduction to the Black Hawk Down hero. Watch Jeff Struecker again At the 15:18 minute mark. Watch on Facebook here. Watch on YouTube here. INTRODUCTION TO THIS WEEK'S AGENDA by Bob Linn Will this be our last free July 4? "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms.

May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." ~Samuel Adams In this week's Agenda, Curtis Bowers comments briefly on Xi JinPing's speech last Thursday on the CCP's 100th anniversary. Curtis Bowers refers to it as a "blistering one-hour address." The event was complete with multiple fly-overs. Read the full text of Xi JinPing's speech here. To read the entire AGENDA, go here.

Many elements of my Open Records Request of November last year remain sealed. OKLAHOMA’S BUREAUCRATIC SWAMPS: Sources continue to point to an array of connected bureaucratic swamps in Oklahoma which allowed the Oklahoma Department of Health to scam the Oklahoma taxpayer out of $30 million and used the scam to fire 198 mostly rural healthcare worker all across the state. We are withholding names and other specifics until we know for sure. With the help of Steve Anderson, I am moving forward with the investigation of the Oklahoma State Department of Health. CAN CINDY BYRD SAVE FACE?

PRIOR WEEK ENTRIES of Continued Importance  ENEMIES WITHIN THE CHURCH 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. PLEASE HELP US FINISH THIS PROJECT BY CONTRIBUTING HERE. $40,000 is needed to complete the film. Consider the opportunity prayerfully. Thanks! Watch the Trailer here. ARCHIVES ...
