Brad Johnson it is January the 30th 2020
00:03
and it looks like China’s trying the
00:06
same trick cheese who else did this the
00:09
United States did it under Obama they
00:11
called it the study Quran where they
00:13
manufactured a version of the Quran that
00:16
was miscible with Western values and I
00:19
think it is maybe five copies got out
00:23
there and we’ll see for a laugh I think
00:25
and historically the Russians did it
00:29
they made a Quran which was you know
00:32
worked with communism was under the I
00:34
think maybe that Putin might have even
00:36
done one post communism but it’s
00:39
definitely a classic trick that people
00:40
do to try to stop Islam from from
00:43
exerting its imperative of manifest
00:45
destiny wherever it goes is to try to
00:47
just rewrite Islam in order to other
00:50
people will believe that anyway so
00:53
China’s trying that now what do we know
00:54
about that this it is interesting and
00:58
the I would say the the the use of
01:01
religion to for sort of a political
01:04
motive is shared by what you’ve seen
01:09
what the things that you listed being
01:11
used to target Islam but also the same
01:14
thing the same arguments actually I
01:16
would argue it originated out of
01:18
Christianity and we’ve seen like the
01:22
Maryknoll order that’s part of the
01:23
Catholic Church and the Jesuits also
01:25
part of the Catholic Church I mean those
01:27
they’re basically the same thing they’re
01:29
Marxist oriented sects and have long
01:33
been sort of the Jesuits for a long time
01:36
you know there should be ownership of
01:40
anything and it all goes to serve the
01:42
needs or downtrodden and all that well
01:44
you know of course the way to help the
01:46
poor downtrodden is again looking you
01:47
know job education things like that so
01:49
they can earn you know well they need
01:50
rather than be trying to give them
01:52
things the old thing out of the Bible to
01:54
give him a fish you feed a man for a day
01:57
to teach him to fish you feed him for a
01:59
lifetime argument but now that was there
02:02
was some minor Wars but shooting wars
02:05
were where they were killing people that
02:07
took place inside the church with the
02:09
Jesuits and some other things they were
02:11
finally absorbed in and became part of
02:13
that about
02:13
that has that has played forward in the
02:15
80s and 90s on the Christian side we saw
02:18
the liberation theology which is
02:22
essentially that being used in a lot on
02:25
Latin America where you would see
02:26
support for Marxist Leninist type
02:29
revolutions taking place in Latin
02:31
America for the poor and those sects
02:35
particularly the Maryknolls were very
02:37
active in there and they were arrested
02:39
in Salvador with you know storing guns
02:41
and ammunition to feed to the guerrillas
02:43
that were out killing people you know
02:45
including innocent people and you know
02:47
so they became very involved to the
02:49
point of where they’re supporting Arnold
02:51
insurrection so it took them down a very
02:54
extreme path that hasn’t gone away and
02:57
what you’ve seen and it’s the leftist
02:58
philosophy I mean everybody famously
03:01
quotes Karl Marx and I’ll just
03:03
paraphrase it and everyone says though
03:04
you know religion is the opium of the
03:06
people the full quote is something
03:09
different I wrote about this in an op-ed
03:11
that was published recently in the new
03:12
pop Times but to paraphrase that could
03:14
have is something to the effect of how
03:16
this is the you know destroys the soul
03:18
of the people and really talking about
03:21
religion and making references of that
03:23
nature you know and concluding the quote
03:25
with a with that part about it being the
03:27
opiate of the people so it’s long I
03:29
think it was the the religion is the the
03:32
heart for a heartless people of soul
03:34
yeah soulless people blah blah blah
03:36
right yeah that’s right that’s that’s
03:39
more of it there the point being of
03:41
course that you know from the leftist
03:43
perspective religion in a generic sense
03:46
is a competitor for power and influence
03:49
and that’s something that the left
03:52
doesn’t allow and doesn’t permit and
03:54
doesn’t want because it demands total
03:56
control one party system in control of
03:59
everything and everything belongs to the
04:01
party the party makes all of those
04:02
decisions so that’s of course what we’re
04:06
faced with in China it’s the Chinese
04:07
Communist Party that has decided that
04:09
what they’re going to do is rewrite the
04:11
both the Koran and the Bible so that it
04:15
falls into agreement with socialism and
04:17
so they’re going to rewrite these things
04:19
and promulgate them out into the world
04:22
in China of course that China has a long
04:24
history of already fighting to base
04:27
they undermine destroy religions and for
04:30
the weavers they’ve got those big
04:32
concentration camps where they’ve really
04:34
badly treated those guys and you’ve seen
04:36
the Falun Gong that’s sort of a boost
04:39
Buddhists sort of Christian sect out of
04:41
there
04:42
also be you know persecuted and some of
04:44
the Christians churches and things
04:46
burned down so they just they don’t
04:48
allow don’t want don’t agree with based
04:50
on their leftist philosophy of one-party
04:53
rule that does not accept competition
04:56
for power they’ve they’re on a path to
04:58
try and destroy a religion and that’s
05:00
basically what they’re doing so rather
05:02
than like openly destroy it what they’re
05:04
trying to do is create a competitive
05:06
Church to absorb all the people into
05:09
that and of course what they’ll do is
05:10
what was done and say in the Sandinistas
05:13
with the Catholic Church they they
05:16
basically take away as much as they can
05:18
from the Catholic Church without just
05:20
actually going in and shooting everybody
05:21
and move all of them over to their
05:23
competitive liberation theology Catholic
05:26
Church and and try to take it over that
05:29
way by by suborning the church if you
05:32
will and creating there they’re parallel
05:34
church system so that’s what we’re
05:36
seeing happening in China today and
05:38
that’s what they’re going to do it’s a
05:40
you know tried-and-true methodology
05:42
typical kind of intelligence operation
05:45
is what they’re doing and something as I
05:47
said we’ve seen used many times and
05:49
similar things take place over a long
05:51
period of time now as I mentioned I just
05:53
wrote an op-ed on this and something I
05:54
find very interesting I don’t always
05:57
necessarily look at feedback it depends
05:59
on the time but this is a very
06:00
interesting one and when I wrote the
06:02
op-ed and pointed this out I thought it
06:06
was kind of a not particularly
06:08
controversial thing that would be
06:09
universally looked upon as as an evil
06:12
rewriting and creating a parallel church
06:14
for political gain of the party and
06:17
power that’s a dictatorship a very cruel
06:19
dictatorship that’s perfectly happy to
06:21
shoot its own people whenever they want
06:22
to that that sort of thing would be
06:25
frowned upon and it’s interesting that
06:27
that turned out to be quite
06:28
controversial so it reflects here in the
06:32
West on the attitudes of the people in
06:34
the education system that we’ve had here
06:36
particularly in the United States but
06:38
certainly Canada
06:39
in Western Europe where now this
06:42
teaching of religion being essentially
06:45
an evil is quite pervasive and like I
06:49
said I was really surprised by some of
06:51
the vehement anger and some of the
06:53
feedback by pointing out that rewriting
06:56
the Bible and the Koran is is you know
06:58
none of the Chinese Communist Party’s
07:00
business and they shouldn’t be involved
07:01
in that and let people live their you
07:03
know religious life peacefully and some
07:06
of the elements really surprised me on
07:07
that but it shows the divisiveness and
07:09
that’s been and it’s something I noted
07:11
in my op-ed that this has played out in
07:15
some interesting ways too and we see
07:17
this here in the United States in
07:19
particular the Constitution the US
07:22
Constitution the Bill of Rights the
07:24
right to free speech to bear arms of
07:26
those sorts of things is precisely what
07:28
the Left hates because it’s competition
07:31
for power and it was specifically
07:32
written by our founders to stop somebody
07:36
from being a dictator to have full
07:38
control over the people of the United
07:40
States of America that was the whole
07:41
purpose and idea and base for the
07:44
Constitution of the United States not to
07:46
mention that the idea is that the
07:48
government should not be the determiner
07:49
of what is true and the Chinese
07:51
government clearly intends to be exactly
07:53
that yeah I think precisely right so
07:57
this is why we also see it’s those same
07:59
reasons all of that writing out of Karl
08:01
Marx you know substitute religion and
08:04
put in constitution and and you see
08:07
precisely why they do what they do
08:08
that’s why the First Amendment the free
08:11
speech is under constant attack in the
08:12
United States and now what they say is
08:15
if you don’t agree with them it’s hate
08:16
speech and so that’s how they’re trying
08:19
to control it and all of the stuff we
08:20
see in the universities where
08:22
microaggressions and if you do this and
08:24
you know if you weren’t included on this
08:27
email chain that’s a microaggression and
08:30
that’s all of what all that stuff is is
08:32
it’s a way to destroy the First
08:34
Amendment and of course the attack on
08:35
the Second Amendment the right to own a
08:37
bear arms is under constant unending
08:39
attack and we’re seeing this play out in
08:41
Virginia something we’ve talked about
08:43
before but the basis of all of those
08:45
things the attack on religion the attack
08:48
on the Constitution all of those things
08:50
come from this
08:51
this base idea of there can be no
08:54
competition for power and and that’s
08:58
where all the origin of all of this this
08:59
is what we’re seeing playing out and
09:01
it’s not going to stop this is this is
09:02
going to continue and continue and
09:04
continue so this is a very serious
09:06
problem we’re gonna have to have to try
09:07
and sort out
09:09
yeah and it’s it you know I got to say
09:11
it’s a heck of a decision between
09:13
communism and Islam right I mean maybe
09:17
maybe them maybe the Uighur should
09:19
rewrite Karl Marx to suit his left
09:23
that’s a good project I might take that
09:26
on
09:26
thank you very much Brad Johnson
