LT. GEN (Ret) JERRY BOYKIN
Leader of Blackhawk Down Former Commander of ... Green Berets Special Warfare Center Delta Force | | AT NOON WEDNESDAY OKC Golf & Country Club
FROM WASHINGTON D.C. GENERAL JERRY BOYKIN via zoom | | Retired three-star General Jerry Boykin was privileged to command all the Army's Green Berets as well as the Special Warfare Center and School. He spent two years as the commander of the Army's elite Delta Force. He participated in some of its most high-profile missions, including the Iran hostage crisis and "Black Hawk Down" in Mogadishu, Somalia.
General Boykin is a devout Christian who speaks regularly about Christianity. He is the Executive Vice President of the Washington DC based Family Research Council.
He helps lead 210 retired Generals and Admirals who have signed a very bold open letter about fair and honest elections and the assault on America by the current administration.
| | Come to hear what this group of more than 200 of America's top retired military leaders are doing and how you can help.
Be briefed on the situation in Cuba.
Hear the General's pathway to recovering our Christian Republic in America. | | AFRICA'S RIOTS LIVE REPORT from SOUTH AFRICA | | OCPAC friend, Charl Van Wyk, will speak to us live on Wednesday by zoom. He will come on just prior to General Boykin's briefing.
When four members of the Communist Azanian People's Liberation Army, armed with automatic weapons and grenades, opened fire on Van Wyk's Cape Town church, he returned fire and drove them out of the church. Sounds a bit like our Canadian pastor friend, Artur Pawlowski!
His bravery made him a national hero and led him to author the book, Shooting Back. He is a source of clear and accurate information from inside South Africa and will brief us on the current riots of South Africa. | | MEETING LOCATION

BENHAM BROTHERS ROD DREHER SAMUEL BLUMENFELD ALEX NEWMAN | Was this newsletter forwarded by a friend?
Sign up to get your own copy here. | BOB LINN The American Mind | In his 1983 Templeton Prize Lecture, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn spoke of the horrors of twentieth century Europe.
European horrors which cost American lives, as our speaker last week attested to.
His comments almost 40 years ago speak to what has brought America to the brink of destruction today.
As you read Solzhenitsyn, remember that while we are on the brink, the path to recovery is before us, as General Boykin will make very clear on Wednesday.
Solzhenitsyn said:
The failings of human consciousness, deprived of its divine dimension, have been a determining factor in all the major crimes of this century … The only possible explanation for this is a mental eclipse among the leaders of Europe due to their lost awareness of a Supreme power above them … | Only the loss of that higher intuition which comes from God could have allowed the West to accept calmly, after World War I, the protracted agony of Russia as she was being torn apart by a band of cannibals …
the West did not perceive that this was in fact the beginning of a lengthy process that spells disaster for the whole world.
His lecture was titled the "European Problem” and pointed dead center to the issues confronting not only America, but every nation of the world today. We all suffer from Solzhenitsyn’s diagnosis of our cultural sickness: “Men have forgotten God.” | The Declaration of Independence was a gold mine for 18th century Americans. It set us apart from all other nations.
However, the American experiment, grounded in the inherently Biblical ideas of we the people, now more than 200 years later, have a much different people.
The truth that was self-evident to our founding generation is not so self-evident to many Americans today.
Truth was, for our founders, found in the presuppositions of Christianity. However, for multiple generations educated in the secularism of government schools, those truths are not so self-evident.
Many Americans today are more comfortable being under the oversight of the government that gave them their education. They look to government to make decisions for them, to provide for them, and to tell them their rights. That is, if they have any remaining rights at all.
America has not suffered under the likes of Lenin and Stalin. However, I suspect the impact of atheistic secular education has had much the same impact on the soul of America. | Analyst Dr. Angelo Codevilla observed the soul of Russia when he said,
In Russia, which suffered for three generations, we see even more clearly how the atrophy of moral faculties has mired able human beings in economic misery and crime, as if the Communist regime had killed something essential in the bodies it left standing and had created a spiritual Chernobyl.
The reason our Declaration of Independence states that these truths are self-evident is that both the authors and the American readers stood on Biblical theological foundations.
As a result, the American Republic bore the torch of hope for the world. Our light shone the world over through those self-evident truths. We can do it again. Working together, that light can burn even brighter!
The decline of the theological foundations of the American pulpit and American education has been devastating.
Our minds have been washed with the secularism of our government school education. We have not been taught the source of our greatness. As Solzhenitsyn said, men have forgotten God. We must not allow this to happen to the generations to come! |
Dr. Lowery makes the case that America’s foundations are eroded because we the people are not the same people our founders were!
He states, The one significant but ignored reason why no other nation of people has been able to match what the American founding generation was able to do…
is that no other nation of people has people has held to the same worldview as the Americans once held.
On May 15, 2020, Vienna journalist, Nicolas Parsons, published an article in Hungarian Review. He spoke of the long march through the institutions promoted by Antonio Gramsci and Rudi Dutschke.
It is a plan to destroy America through rotting the foundations of its institutions (churches, industry, education, media, entertainment, government). They rot when we forget God!
This long march is no longer a theory It is a reality in the USA.
However, what they have not done is to destroy the millions of God-fearing men and women in America God has raised up. These are American patriots who will not continue to tolerate the Marxist's abuse of American kindness, tolerance, and generosity.
There are now thousands of grass root Oklahomans ready to do what is necessary to recover our classrooms and our government. Ready to insure a future for our children.
THIS, TOO, IS NOT A THEORY IT IS A GODLY REALITY!
As you have already noted, General Jerry Boykin is a fighter. He is as active as anyone in this fight to keep America's godly heritage.
His continued leadership is evidenced by the more than 200 retired Generals and Admirals who have banded together to insure a future for generations to come.
This Wednesday, General Boykin will speak to us about his vision to right the ship in America. We are at war to preserve America. It is a war which is winnable.
Come be a part of the army poised to recover our footing in Oklahoma as we do our part to right the American ship of state. | I'll see you this Wednesday!
God bless! | WERNHER VON BRAUN Operation Paperclip The Word of God from Bill Federer's AMERICAN MINUTE Edited by Bob Linn | I am including this piece as a continuation of our July tribute to the American military. Also, it is a part of a continued emphasis on the role of the Bible and Christianity in the affairs of state and in the progression of human history.
The story here is not a long one, but profound in what it reveals. It is a brief story which explains how the American military was able to so easily obtain the services of one of the world's foremost military scientists. This man had one reason to leave his German homeland and come to America. It has to do with America's reverence for the Bible.
A story not yet heard in your child's classroom. With your help, I hope it soon will be!
We know Wernher von Braun as one of Germany's leading scientists who, along with 1,600 other German scientists, left Germany for careers with the American military. This entailed a covert operation known as Operation Paperclip.
The goal was to achieve and maintain superiority to the Soviet Union after WWII. Von Braun became director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and was the chief architect of the Saturn V, the vehicle which took our first astronauts to the moon. | Wernher von Braun was born to an aristocratic Prussian family and was nominally Lutheran. Toward the end of WWII, in 1944, he was arrested by the German Gestapo. He was charged with espionage against the German war effort. Eventually, German high command determined him invaluable to the war effort, and released him.
The next year, American troops penetrated central Germany where von Braun had organized the surrender of 500 of his top scientists, along with plans and test vehicles. | He explained his surrender to the United States with this statement:
I myself, and everybody you see here, have decided to go West ... We knew that we had created a new means of warfare ... We felt that only by surrendering such a weapon to people who are guided by the Bible could such an assurance to the world be best secured.
There is more, but it is the above statement that speaks volumes. | Once in the United States, he not only put America on the moon, but, in a small country church in El Paso, Texas, he found Christ.
He had been invited to the church service by one of his Fort Bliss neighbors.
You may find some of his personal testimony here.
The Institute for Creation Research published an article about the faith of Werhner von Braun. In summary, it states:
A study of the history of Western science reveals that Christianity was a major motivation for many of the world’s greatest scientists. They concluded that God reveals Himself both in the Scriptures and in His creation, and to get closer to God it is incumbent on the believer to study His creation.
Wernher von Braun stated that the “universe revealed through scientific inquiry is the living witness that God has indeed been at work. Understanding the nature of the creation provides a substantive basis for the faith by which we attempt to know the nature of the Creator."
Properly understood, science and the Bible reveal the same truth.
The entire ICR article is not long, and well worth reading.

CUBA
This week, there are many important features to Curtis Bowers’ AGENDA. One topic germane to our meeting Wednesday is the situation in Cuba. General Boykin will brief us on what is going on there and why.
CUBAN REFUGEES NOT WELCOME IN USA
Curtis Bowers points out that the Democrats welcome all immigrants except the Cubans. He quotes the Epoch Times as reporting:
Agents apprehended 188,829 people illegally crossing the border in June, up from 180,034 in May, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).” Meanwhile, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas (who has facilitated Biden’s open borders policy, told Cubans (who tend to vote Republican), “Allow me to be clear: If you take to the sea, you will not come to the United States.
THOUSANDS PROTEST AGAINST COMMUNIST REGIME IN CUBA | Epoch Times reports, “Thousands of Cubans took to the streets on Sunday in a number of cities to protest against human rights abuses, a lack of freedom, and a worsening economic situation in the communist-ruled country.” One Cuban protestor said, “Everyone in Cuba is going out on the street. Everybody in Cuba is asking for their freedom.”
Black Lives Matter (BLM) have voiced their support of the Communist regime in Cuba. Summit News observes, "Rather than condemning the Cuban regime, the BLM blames the U.S. government under President Trump for the 'inhumane treatment' of the Cuban people."
General Jerry Boykin will speak to the situation in Cuba at some length this Wednesday.

OKLAHOMA SCHOOLS
Critical Race Theory (CRT) is being supported by the NEA and the OEA as a proxy. NEA has pledged money and lawyers to support ANY teacher who gets in trouble for teaching CRT against state law. | We currently do not have an AG. So, we need you to either email or call the Governor and your Legislator to ask that they hold schools, their administrators, and their teachers accountable for teaching the hate and racism of CRT.
The OKGOP is also asking that any violation of teaching CRT be sent to us (OKGOP), the Governor, and state Legislature. This can be done either by email and phone calls.
With your help, we will sound the alarm and push the Governor to prosecute all violations.
FIXING OUR SCHOOLS SCHOOL BOARDS
We encourage the grass roots, precinct leaders, and county Chairs to recruit Constitutional Christian Patriots to run for school boards. We also encourage the County Parties show up at all school board meetings in their areas to observe. If you find that CRT is being taught, demand that the school STOP.
VACCINES
This year, Governor Stitt signed S.B 658 into law S.B. 658:
• Bans vaccine passports for COVID-19 vaccine for students in public schools and some higher education institutions • Prevents possible discrimination of children who are not vaccinated with COVID-19 by banning masks for only the unvaccinated • Requires schools provide exemption information to parents • Establishes criteria for implementation of a all-district mask mandate, including ONLY in a state of emergency issued by the Governor.
However, the Tulsa Health Department is defying S.B. 658 by contacting parents without exemption info. | Contact your State Representative and Senator and let them know that this is unacceptable.
Your voice is absolutely essential to protecting our children! ______________________

DELAY or COVERUP? by Bob Linn ________________________________________ | UPDATE
For our Health Department update, recent weeks have been very power packed with developments that seem to open a greater window of understanding into the complexity of past events.
I have been somewhat reserved in what I have been bringing because the trove of information is so vast. The revelation of the stunning beginnings of all of the happenings have now become much clearer.
The original Health Department CFO, Michael Romero, was heralded by media misinformation as a "whistleblower". Upon further inspection, this could not have been further from the truth and is the pivotal crux upon where much of the current investigation is heading.
Mr. Romero chose not to be a whistleblower. His internal communications detailed full well that whistleblowing was what he was attempting to avoid.
FRAUD QUESTIONNAIRE
Documents reveal that within a month of his (Romero's) tenure as the CFO, he was asked to provide answers to a fraud questionnaire as part of the annual audit being conducted by the State Auditor & Inspector (SA&I). Knowing that he could not provide answers based upon experience due to his short time in the office, he informed the auditor that he would supplement his responses to the initial questionnaire under a formal governmental accounting procedure.
MISMANAGEMENT OF FUNDS
Documents show that he first notified internal OSDH management that he was going to provide information to the SA&I about problems related to the mismanagement of funds.
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER INVOLVED
He also notified the SA&I that he would be involving his direct supervisor, the OSDH Chief Operating Officer (COO) at the time.
Incidentally, this COO was the one that was abruptly fired and replaced by a new OSDH COO. It was later revealed that she was the person romantically involved with the former Attorney General in his recent public downfall.
It has now become clear that the former CFO's actions were rooted in the requirements of the SA&I's own regular audit—the standard audit fraud questionnaire (the one brought to Romero by the SA&I).
It is specifically designed to elicit information about fraudulent activities (See SAS 99, Fraud Based Audit Interviews).
THE PROBLEM APPEARS MORE AND MORE TO BE ONE OF SIMPLICITY
Audits were being conducted without the intention of the purpose of an audit at all. Someone that knew what the audit was supposed to be doing actually did what was required—something it now appears that the auditor's office really did not want to occur.
STAY TUNED AS MORE IS COMING
Further FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests will pursue information related to an ongoing United States Office of the Inspector General's investigation into these matters. | On January 27, 2021, Steve Anderson made his first presentation at OCPAC & the Oklahoma Department of Health regarding the situation.

Lack of transparency in government is a grave concern to all taxpayers.
I will keep you updated. | Your Source for Perspectives on CURRENT EVENTS Clear | Conservative | Christian | I came across an article last week by Tom Gilson, a former member of Campus Crusade for Christ (now known as Cru). As many of you know, it is an organization which has been infiltrated by proponents of cultural Marxism.
I flew to Atlanta this spring to meet with the Chairman of the Board and the National director of Cru. The meeting confirmed to me that Cru had no hope of recovering its once Christian foundations. | Tom's article was what any Christian should say about this once-Christian organization.
He did not allow his fond memories of this once-great organization to diminish his commitment to Christ, Christianity, and Biblical values.
Since then, Tom and I have discussed the demise of an organization which meant a lot to both of us.
Read what Tom has to say about Cru's current state of affairs here.
I wanted to introduce you to Tom's article on Cru as well as the publication he writes. The film Enemies within the Church will be coming out this fall and will feature the issues addressed in Tom's article above.

God bless and thank you for all you do for Oklahoma! | 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!
