It's easy bein' 'the Green One'

As part of the hype surrounding the hotly-anticipated release this Thursday of Pope Francis’ “encyclical on climate change,” is an “epic Hollywood trailer” that can be viewed on Slate Magazine's website called, “Future Tense, The Citizen’s Guide to the Future.”

The opening quote of the video—“If we destroy creation, creation will destroy us”—is an actual line from one of Francis’ recent sermons on the environment.

“It is expected to form the heart of his argument in the forthcoming letter to the world’s Catholic churches,” reports the website. “It just gets better from there. At one point, Jesus appears in the corner of a boxing ring as the pope prepares, saying, “The power of me compels you." You can’t make this stuff up—except apparently they did.”

As the universe’s fastest-growing religion, “Going Green” is positioned as a prime vehicle toward brainwashing the masses into endorsing the Antichrist’s Babel II.

The undeniable aim of our Dewey-Darwin American public school system is to instill a duty-mindset of justified persecution against any who don’t bow down to nature and the teensy-weensiest of its creatures and flora.

An article a while back in the Wall Street Journal rang an alarm-bell about “frighteningly pushy eco-lessons that now fill children’s books.”

“Contemporary children are so drenched with eco-propaganda that it’s almost a waste of resources,” warned the story. “Like acid rain, but more persistent and corrosive, it dribbles down on them all day long. They get it at school, where recycling now competes with tolerance as man’s highest virtue. The get it in the peppy ‘go green’ messages online, on television and in magazines.

“Susceptible children are left in no doubt that we’re all headed for a despoiled, immiserated future unless they start planting pansies in their old shoes, using dryer lint as mulch, and practicing periodic vegetarianism.

“Not surprisingly, many young people are anxious. The more impressionable among them are coming to believe that their smallest decisions could have catastrophic effects on the globe.”

Fueling their panic is an eco-message “seeping into the pages of novels that don’t, on their face, necessarily seem to be about environmentalism at all,” the newspaper reported.

Patriarch of green-themed children’s books, novelist and Miami Herald columnist Carl Hiaasen, has, for example, a story entitled "Scat" about three kids “who band together with an eccentric biology teacher and an armed ecoterrorist to stop a buffoonish Texas oilman from illegally extracting petroleum from the habitat of an endangered Florida panther.”

The WSJ article continued, “In all Mr. Hiaasen’s books for children, young readers are asked to sympathize with environmentalists who thwart businessmen, even when the good guys take destructive measures such as sinking boats and torching billboards. And the eco-tropes that have worked so well for Mr. Hiaasen—Good nature! Bad capitalist!—are steadily creeping into books across the age range.”

A web page I've bookmarked from Dial-The-Truth-Ministries (www.av1611.org) details thousands of New Age perversions in Eugene Peterson’s incredibly successful 2002 bible paraphrase (consistently ranked among the top-five bestselling bibles) called “The Message,” endorsed by such Christian “heavyweights” as Billy Graham, Chuck Swindoll, Rick Warren, Max Lucado, etc., etc.
 
Under the heading, “The Green Hope,” author Dr. Terry Watkins notes that Romans 15:13 in “The Message” contains “the most bizarre statement ever in a mainstream Bible.”

The verse reads, “Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!”

This compares to the King James Bible: “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Watkins writes, “Who is the ‘God of green hope’? The ‘green hope’ originated with the hellish, human sacrificing, Druids. The publication Talks on Freemasonry states, ‘Green was, with the Druids, a symbol of hope and the virtue of hope with a Freemason illustrates the hope of immortality.’ (Kenneth Tuckwood, Talks on Freemasonry).

“The ‘green hope’ mantra is a popular rallying cry in the new age Mother-Earth environmental movement. In the New Age Movement, ‘green’ signifies ‘Oneness with the Earth,’ hence the title of William Anderson’s book, ‘Green Man: The Archetype of Our Oneness with the Earth.’ ”

Watkins references page 159 of the “Dictionary of Symbolism,” considered the most comprehensive one-volume work on the language of symbols ever published, in which author Hans Biedermann notes:  “. . . the devil appears as ‘the green one’. . .”
