Robert Johnson's Columns

Christian Reconstruction movement wants the
Osama bin Laden Knows More About American Government Than Americans Do
Column by Robert Johnson.
Be Careful What You Call 'The Word of God'
"It is a huge... violence-promoting mistake to make the assumption that a particular book is “the Word of God.” The consequences are deadly and progress-retarding." Column by Robert Johnson.
"At Leviticus 20:9, the Bible teaches that children who curse their parents should be stoned to death. Is it wrong for a teacher to say that that is a terrible idea and a dangerous teaching? Or should she or he let their class think that by their silence they are giving their approval?" Column by Robert Johnson.
Tea Parties Are Missing the Point
"[The
tea party protesters] are trying to mimic the real revolutionaries, the Sons
of Liberty who boarded ships of the British East India Company and threw the
company tea into
"These Americans who are now the victims of international banking, Wall Street and the government need to be honest with themselves. They need to ask themselves why they’ve tolerated such a corrupt and deadly government for so long. Why are they content to vote one gang of cheats into office and then replace those cheats in the next election with cheats from a political party of a different name but with the same corrupt content?" Column by Robert Johnson.
Will America's Deistic Shift Lead to a Libertarian Shift?
"Deism is very libertarian in nature. There are no priests, rabbis or any clergymen to tell people what to do, what not to do and what to believe. There are no holy books to follow." Column by Robert Johnson.
Why Are Whites Cowardly When It Comes to Race?
"If Holder was honest, I believe he would admit that he wants to further beat down and intimidate white working people. The government’s anti-white programs like affirmative action and quota programs are governmental institutionalized anti-white racism." Column by Robert Johnson.
Obama Lies to the Muslims and the World
"Being
a politician at his core, [Obama] told an obvious lie. He told the Islamic
people that
International Holocaust Remembrance Day
"It’s important that all human life is shown the dignity that it deserves, Jew and Gentile." Column by Robert Johnson.
Israeli State Terrorists on the High Seas
Robert Johnson on the ramming of the Dignity.
Does Obama's Love of Lincoln Make Him an 'Uncle Tom'?
"But I can’t understand how a mulatto politician can sing the praises of a former politician who was so opposed to the existence in this country of mulattoes." Column by Robert Johnson.
"The inescapable reality of being a member of the government’s armed forces is that you serve some of the most corrupt and incompetent politicians known to history. You put your life on the line and take the lives of others for cheaters, thieves and liars who infect the halls of Congress and the White House. Why would anyone knowingly do such a thing?" Column by Robert Johnson.
"The other type of politician bringing bloodshed and misery to the world are the true believers. Currently the most powerful of this class of politician are the neoconservatives....[who] want a world based on the teachings of the Hebrew Bible. Sarah Palin...appears to be in this camp." Column by Robert Johnson.
" Of course, governments don’t want people to understand more, for they know what will happen once enough people begin to fear less and begin to realize what the governments are really doing." Column by Robert Johnson.
" Politicians love the tool of fear! It’s a great control mechanism! Sadly, it appears we have much more war and violence in our future." Column by Robert Johnson.
Column by Robert Johnson.
"In order to understand US Middle East foreign policy, you need to understand the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament)." Column by Robert Johnson.
Subpoenas in AIPAC Spy Case Could Help Awaken US Troops on Who They're Really Fighting For
"If this happens, and if the media gives it the attention they are morally obligated to give it, but never do, those who fill the ranks of the government’s military machine, as well as all Americans, will see how the government really works! They will see a very obedient herd of gutless politicians serving their masters regardless of the cost to their constituents and country." Column by Robert Johnson.
"What we really need to do is to support our troops by awakening them. We need to awaken them to the realities the media and government either refuse to discuss or at best give only an inadequate amount of attention to." Column by Robert Johnson.
Column by Robert Johnson.
All Volunteer/Mercenary U.S. Military
"... new recruits don’t swear to not question the politicians, they swear to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. By not questioning the politicians, how can you know if they themselves are domestic enemies of the Constitution that need to be dealt with?" Column by Robert Johnson.
Column by Robert Johnson.
'Revealed' Religion: Making the World Safe for Government
"The real definition of faith as promoted by the “revealed” religions and governments is the suspension of an individual’s God-given reason in order to accept, or at least to tolerate, an unreasonable claim made by a religion or government. Faith is vital to both institutions and can only lead to very negative consequences." Column by Robert Johnson.
Middle East Violence--I Can't Understand It!
"Maybe the answer to peace in the Middle East isn’t in any of the three holy books of the three Abrahamic “revealed” religions. Maybe it has to come from us, the people." Column by Robert Johnson.
Should Israel Make Concessions and Renounce Part of the Torah?
"By removing belief in unreasonable ancient 'revealed' religions, we are moving the world further away from war, and in a nuclear age, that is VERY IMPORTANT!" Column by Robert Johnson.
Arkansas Legislature Snubs Thomas Paine
"Politicians enjoy misleading the sheeple by pretending they believe in freedom. The Arkansas legislature recently made it crystal clear that this is just a song and dance routine intended to be limited to only election and reelection speeches when they voted against honoring Thomas Paine by making January 29th Thomas Paine Day." Column by Robert Johnson.
Recommended "This spoiled little rich kid, this former cheerleader, has the criminal audacity to send young people off to kill and to be killed on assumptions! He said it himself! And all the political whores in attendance didn’t bat an eye! They know it’s true, too! This was and is truly a bi-partisan crime!" Column by Robert Johnson.
New U.S. Congress Shaping Up to Promote Israel Over All
"Having a powerful politician with such strong ties to AIPAC and Israel doesn't bode well for young Americans who are the RPG fodder for Israel and its politicians, or for the people in those two prime targets of Israel and its 50 colonies, Iran and Syria." Column by Robert Johnson.
Government Prisons Help the Jewish Holocaust Story
Column by Robert Johnson.
"The 'revealed' religions teach people to have 'faith' and not to question the religious teachings and dogma and not to seriously question church authorities. They take this to the absurd point of actually proclaiming infallibility...." Column by Robert Johnson.
Chanukah George Readies to Make Yet More Religious War
"In another speech shortly after his Chanukah spiel, Bush said while presiding over the menorah lighting in the White House, 'We pray that those who still live in the darkness of tyranny will someday see the light of freedom.' Chanukah George went on to tell his Jewish guests that 'Terrorists can’t be God-believing people.' I’m sure he didn’t mean the state terrorists who blow people up with the F-16's and Apache helicopter gunships the American taxpayers give them. He must have been thinking of the Islamic non-governmental terrorists who use roadside bombs and the like to remove occupying forces from their soil." Column by Robert Johnson.
Is the Media AIPAC's Ace in the Hole?
"...the media is not giving us an accurate picture of what is actually going on in Palestine. And the Kosher Iron Curtain we live behind is not allowing us any picture of what is actually going on regarding the blind and ignorant support of Israel that the politicians give in our name." Column by Robert Johnson.
"The people who are said to have lived for centuries and centuries were before God had realized what a mistake he had made by making us, which then prompted him to kill every man, woman, child, and unborn baby by drowning with the exception of Noah and his family and two of every animal on the planet that he somehow managed to collect and load into the mythical ark." Column by Robert Johnson.
"Two very important questions arise in response to this seemingly common position of young soldiers and Marines: Somebody has to do what and why?" Column by Robert Johnson.
Fight the Illusion--Don't Vote!
"The criminals that take up space in Congress and the White House need people to vote. They need to keep the lie alive!....they desperately need to keep the illusion going that they are the representatives of 'the people,' that they are doing 'the people’s work'."
"People of Power’s mentality can’t see that the government could be wrong. Their 'greatest generation' didn’t have the courage or intelligence to openly question the government. Perhaps that is why their generation is held up by the government and media as an example for all generations to follow. The government would love nothing more than millions of unquestioning sheeple who march blindly off to kill and die on the orders of the government. And anyone who dares question the system is branded a coward who should be shot by the government!" Column by Robert Johnson.
" Don’t the journalists think the fact that there were Israeli agents with very close ties to key Washington neoconservatives given free access to the Pentagon during the buildup to the war in Iraq deserves some very serious attention and publicity?" Column by Robert Johnson.
How Can We Be So Stupid, Part II
Robert Johnson on the Flat Earth Society.
"'No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof.' If we can get people to realize this truth of Thoreau’s regarding religion, if we can get them to demand proof of the outrageous claims made by all of the 'revealed' religions, it’s just a matter of time until they will demand proof from the governments of the world for such things as WMD, why paying taxes is necessary, etc. Proving the 'revealed' religions wrong is easy. Proving the governments wrong is also easy. The hard part is instilling in people the ability of independent questioning. To do this, we need to demonstrate to them that if you openly question Oz, your limbs will not magically fall off. Once this is done, once people get used to independent thought and action, everything else will fall into place." Column by Robert Johnson.
America Did Not Ask for This War???
"When America expedited shipments of cluster bombs to Israel to use against the Lebanese, and used with total disregard for civilians, we were showing the Islamic people of the world, all 1.3 BILLION of them, that we want war with Islam. And we have it!" Column by Robert Johnson.
What Strike The Root Does and Means
"The legacy of STR will be its teaching through example that fear has no place in a truly free society. No topic is beyond the reach of honest questions and examination no matter what the cost may be. To do otherwise is wrong." Column by Robert Johnson.
The Israeli Constant - Deception
"Deception is key to all governments. Israel has made a science of it." Column by Robert Johnson.
Israel's Most Powerful Weapon--The Holocaust
"This quality of Jewish uniqueness that is found in the word 'holocaust' has its roots all the way to the beginning of the Jewish race...and the origin of its traditions. In the Old Testament that the ancient Jews wrote, they claim God chose them 'above all people on the face of the earth.' This unreasonable, unrealistic and twisted thought can only lead to more violence and war as we are witnessing today in the Middle East." Column by Robert Johnson.
What's Behind the Current Middle East War?
"Israeli Infrastructure Minister Yosef Paritsky said that getting oil directly from Iraq could lower energy costs for Israel by 15 to 20 percent! That sounds like a great deal! I’m sure the parents, spouses, children, siblings and friends of those Americans killed in Iraq will feel much better knowing their loved ones didn’t die in vain!" Column by Robert Johnson.
Column by Robert Johnson.
What Do They Mean By Democracy?
"It’s difficult to convince someone to fight for democracy halfway around the world when you don’t even have it in America." Column by Robert Johnson.
When Individuals Beat Governments - Christmas 1914
"The brass from both armies quickly sent word down to their inferiors to see to it that the troops broke off their friendships with the 'enemy' and returned to their governmental/patriotic duty of killing their fellow human beings. It was made clear that strict and harsh penalties would be the consequence for any soldier who dared disobey this military restriction on kindness and brotherhood." Column by Robert Johnson.
Lies + Half Truths = Presidential Speech
"And what George considers good for average young Americans is that they become RPG fodder for the good of the plutocrats and their political careers! And, of course, George has never offered to go along for the ride! Compared to bin Laden, George is a hypocritical rank coward and war pig. At least bin Laden saw combat when he was fighting against the Soviet occupation of the Islamic nation of Afghanistan in the 1980s." Column by Robert Johnson.
Pat Robertson and the Biblical Mind
"Hopefully, Pat’s latest exposure of the deficiencies of his soul and mind will make people THINK about what they’ve been brought up to believe. It should cause people to question all people in authority, all traditional beliefs, all religions, and all governments." Column by Robert Johnson.
The Big Lie--They're Fighting for Our Freedom
" For many people, it’s hard to admit when you’re wrong, especially when the cost of being wrong is so high. It’s much easier to believe the government and the big lies they tell and that the media protects." Column by Robert Johnson.
The U.S. Government's Betrayal of Its Military
"The government is a collection composed almost exclusively of self-serving political careerists and bureaucratic careerists. They live not for liberty and justice or for doing what is right, but for power and greed. To achieve their lowly and selfish goals they must please the powers that be. One way to learn who those powers are is to see who the politicians are most concerned with pleasing." Column by Robert Johnson.
A Memorial Day Gift of Reality
"Many military people do believe what the politicians tell them, that they’re fighting for freedom. But are they?" Column by Robert Johnson.
A Government Lie in the Making
"About the only thing governments produce more often than wars and debt are lies. Right now, you can witness the birth of a government lie in the making!" Column by Robert Johnson.
Accountability Should Be Applied to Government and Religion
"From 1917 until the present, the sheeple didn't have a clue. They just keep waving their little flags and wave to the cameras and regurgitate the line, 'I'm glad I live in a free country.' The political war pigs couldn't be prouder of their peasants." Column by Robert Johnson.
Column by Robert Johnson.
Schiavo Case Shows the Emptiness of Revealed Religion
"Now these liars and political whores are catering to the unreasonable demands of their allies in the magic world of revealed religion by going against the “principles” most in the Republican Party say they embrace - minimal government!" Column by Robert Johnson.
State and Religious Child Abuse
"Most people assume government protects children. And, most people assume religion is also a source of protection for children. Most people are wrong on both counts, especially when it comes to the unholy union of government and religion." Column by Robert Johnson.
"This lowest, unthinking level of society is the heart of a democracy. They supply the RPG fodder and the pretense that the government is good. Whenever they go through the motion of voting for one of the two kosher plutocrats the machine puts up, they’re endorsing the fraud and the madness." Column by Robert Johnson.
"John House had a son born while he was in Iraq for Bush and Israel. He will never see his son. His son will never be able to get to know his dad. John’s wife will have to raise their son alone. Will John’s son, when he turns 18, be sent off to die in vain as his father was?" Column by Robert Johnson.
"Not only has George created a new Vietnam for America’s youth and their families to suffer in, he has committed treason against the US by helping America’s enemy, al Qaeda, grow and prosper." Column by Robert Johnson.
The Fundamental Flaw of the Neocons
"The Bible toting politicians, the Bible thumping preachers, and the Bible believing misguided masses, all look to the Bible for guidance in our everyday lives....If you can get people to accept something as unreasonable as that, it then makes it easier for you to get them to swallow lies like the government did when it started a war in Iraq for no reason....The Bible’s lack of reason sets a precedent for the government to rule without reason." Column by Robert Johnson.
"Now, over 1,300 dead Americans later, over 10,000 horribly wounded and over 100,000 dead Iraqis, the government has finally admitted they were wrong, there never were any weapons of mass destruction! If I were still a member of the USMC, I’d mutiny! How dare these political hacks like Bush waste the lives of thousands of Marines and soldiers!" Column by Robert Johnson.
Making Sense of Bush, Brothels and the Bible
"Before the dark advent of the Biblical curtain over our minds, lives, and society, people looked at sex as what it is, a natural impulse and act. But 'revealed' religions/governments, like all cults, need to control the lives of their subjects. That is why most of our natural acts, like our diets as well as our sex lives, are the targets of religions. By casting its net over functions that are an important and necessary part of everyone’s life, they are sure to control us. By dictating what we can eat and what we can’t eat...to telling us we should have sex only to produce children...the religions pervert the lives of BILLIONS of innocent misled victims." Column by Robert Johnson.
The Chilling Effect of Hate Legislation
"Where would the world be if it wasn’t for hate?....Hate, under the right circumstances, is a positive emotion. If you don’t hate what is destructive and bad, how can you love what is beautiful and good?....The governments want to take away our hatred and our guns because they know where they want the world to be. They want a Stepford world with no one making waves. They want a Bible-based society of non-thinking drones who can be depended upon to pay their taxes and not to ask questions. A world of 'good citizens.' It seems they are well on their way to achieving their repulsive goal." Column by Robert Johnson.
Why Deism and Corrupt Government Don't Mix
"Deism’s rejection of accepting things on faith doesn’t play well for revealed religions or for the governments they’re tied to. Government requires non-thinking subjects. Revealed religions need non-thinking believers. Sunday schools train young people to suppress their God-given reason. This must be done for the good of the revealed religion, otherwise there would be a mass exodus due to the unreasonable stories and ideas the religion is teaching. Governments use this trait instilled by revealed religions to keep itself fat and happy." Column by Bob Johnson.
Column by Robert Johnson.
U.S. Government Turns Its Back on Democracy
"The politicians know that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee can make or break their meaningless political careers, so they sell the lives of American military members to the Israeli lobby to be wasted in wars for Israel’s security, as is now being done in Iraq." Column by Robert Johnson.
Boycott the Government--Don't Vote!
"The media is currently, as it does every election season, trying to drum up interest in the scam known as the presidential election among the voting cattle. They’re bombarding us with lines like, 'It’s a real horse race--neck and neck down to the wire!' This is supposed to make us get out there and vote!" Column by Robert Johnson.
"There are many strong parallels between religion and government. Both require unquestioning obedience in order to avoid severe punishment. Both make absurd claims that go against all reason and reality. Both claim to be doing good while they’re doing bad. And the cornerstone to both is hypocrisy." Column by Robert Johnson.
"We must ask ourselves why there is such opposition to the Hebrews that an entire new government office needs to be set up to monitor and combat it. A good place to start learning, though just looking at what Israel is doing to the Palestinians every day speaks volumes, is the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament. This is what’s in the minds and hearts of the Israelis that are attacking the Palestinians. It is what motivates the neocons to have the career politicians in Washington start wars for Israel’s security. It’s what drives the simple-minded imbeciles like George Bush and Pat Robertson to push on towards a world governed by Bible teachings." Column by Robert Johnson.
"It doesn’t seem like Kerry can catch Bush in their embarrassing race to win favor with AIPAC. Kerry can only promise to do what George has already done, that is to start a war and send American military personnel to fight and die in it, for Israel." Column by Robert Johnson.
"George can now see Sharon is right in his cold-hearted dealings with Israel’s neighbors today, the Palestinians. When Israel slaughters Palestinians today, they are only obeying God’s sacred word!" Column by Robert Johnson.
"...George W. Bush and the politicians, including John Kerry, who voted to send over 100,000 American men and women to fight and die in Iraq, did not even take the time to read the 90 page NIE (National Intelligence Estimate) report!!! What do they care, it’s not their lives that are being put on the line!" Column by Robert Johnson.
Osama bin Laden Could Use a Reality Lesson
"This is a strong flaw in Osama’s thinking. He must have a high school civics textbook with him to get such unrealistic ideas about how the US is run! Doesn’t he realize that the politicians in Washington go to the highest bidder, who happens to be, in this case, the Israeli lobby, American Israel Public Affairs Committee? Does he really believe American policy is set by the will of the people?" Column by Robert Johnson.
Politicians--Are They Prostitutes or Pimps?
"Congress and the White House can be seen as the world’s biggest cat houses. The President and Congressmen/women walk the halls before their clients from the lobby groups. The lobbyists whisper in the ears of the political prostitutes what they’re after." Column by Robert Johnson.
"Egging Bush on are the Christian fanatics who believe by using the US and the 820+ dead Americans to help Israel take over its neighbors while it expands to Biblical proportions, they are ushering in the second coming of Jesus. By their interpretation of the Book of Revelations, Israel’s borders must be restored to what they were in the time of Solomon and that Solomon’s temple must be rebuilt." Column by Robert Johnson.
Is the 9/11 Commission Doing the Right Thing?
"The 9/11 Commission is trying to study the deadly attacks of September 11, 2001 so we can learn what to do to save more lives when we are attacked again. What they should be doing is trying to learn what caused the Islamic terrorists to attack us in the first place, so we can, if possible, remove the reason and prevent further attacks." Column by Robert Johnson.
"If military personnel would break ranks today, the war would be over. Personal responsibility is what life is based on. We need to break the chain of herd instinct that the government and religion continually reinforces. It's up to each of us as individuals to do this." Column by Robert Johnson.
Christians Owe the Jews a Double Debt
"What many Christians forget is, based upon Christian dogma, if the Jews did not see to it that Jesus was put to death, the Christians would not be free of the Christian dogma, original sin." Column by Robert Johnson.
The Neocons Are Biblically Grounded
"This cornerstone idea, that the Jewish religion through the Hebrew Bible should be used to control the sheep, is what motivates and holds together the Jewish and Christian neocons. It is the driving force that sparks increasing and unquestioned US support for Israel, no matter what the cost is to the US and the rest of the world." Column by new Root Striker Robert Johnson.
