A 50 years after the end of World War II to his also 20th
anniversary of the first time cult concern was voiced in the
House of Commons. This led to the formation of fair, but for us
there can be no victory celebration because the few have not yet
been joined by the many.
We are in the equivalent of the between the wars period when Sir
Winston Churchill and a few others realized what was happening in
Germany. They had read Mein Kampf and believed Hitler was capable
of carrying out his domination dream. They kept warning us of the
growing menace but nobody would listen, and the Fuhrer turned a
country into a destructive cult.
A Jonathan Meads, writing about those years, said that the
Germans were in thrall to a form of messanic cult that disguised
itself as a political party to - The Order of the New Templars
and the German Order. These were the predecessors of the National
Socialist Party.
Today a reverse masquerade is more likely - a political party
disguised as a messianic cult, with tax exemption advantages.
Today's Hitler would see the strategic sense in calling himself
reverend and claiming freedom to practice and proselytize his
'religion'.
Himmler created an ersatz stonehenge when he conducted solstice
ceremonies for members of his order who were expected to change
their names to pre-Christian ones. Because 'the new order was
conditional on the extinction of the old'.
A Pastor, Thomas Gandow, a researcher and adviser on cults for
the Lutheran Church of Berlin and Brandenberg, has warned of new
Fuhrer figures replacing the old Communist leaders in Eastern
Europe. "Cults are militant fighters for New World. They are
organized like armies... their goal is to achieve power... they
exert influence and prepare for the takeover."
We are familiar with more recent ratings almost too bizarre to be
believed, are aghast at the results when irrational words become
irrational acts.
There is growing awareness, even among cult apologists, in that
with the millennium less than five years away the situation will
become more volatile. This time we have the support of the
Germans who are most aware of where the road to totalitarianism
leads and in many former occupied countries particularly France,
there is vigorous opposition to groups which undermine the
democratic system.
With the formation of the European Federation -- FECRIS - we are
now all part of the resistance.
