The Next Crusade
By Timothy J Cullen
" For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood: but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places" (Eph. 6:12) The late Catholic historian Warren Carroll (1932-2011) authored a 1996 book about the Spanish Civil War entitled The Last Crusade, the back matter of which describes "Crusade" as follows: " Crusade means a war for the sake of the Cross, a war to protect Christian people from persecution and death on account of their faith in Jesus Christ". Crusades scholar Thomas Madden wrote: "Today, the term is commonly used to denote a grand enterprise, often with a moral dimension, as in General Eisenhower’s ‘Crusade in Europe’ or a ‘crusade for adult literacy’."
1 Perhaps it would not be amiss to describe the next Crusade as a grand enterprise for the sake of the Cross and of the Catholic culture that gave rise to the culture and civilization of the West, now persecuted and embattled on all sides including from within. The predominant religions in the West of 2017 are "denominational mentality" Christianity2, Roman Catholicism, Protestantism and secularism; Judaism, Islam and others make up a very small minority (although there are more Muslims than Anglicans in Europe) and are not native to the West, although Judaism has a long history of Western presence. The argument is often raised that the Judaism is an alien-to-the-West latently hostile ethnicity cum tribe as well as a religion, but such claims are denounced as anti-Semitism based on a presumed and intrinsically intolerant and equally hostile Christian posture toward the Jewish people, particularly with respect to the Ashkenazim, "a Jewish ethnic division who coalesced as a distinct community of Jews in the Holy Roman Empire around the end of the 1st millennium".
3 Be that as it may, however, it is indisputable that this particular alien-to-the-Christian-West and largely secularized tribal rather than religious group exerts—in large measure owing to an overweening financial strength—a powerful influence over the politics and cultural status of what once was Christendom. Does this fact then indicate that a Crusade against the Jewish people— Ashkenazim or Sephardic—is called for? Absolutely not! The Jewish faith is that which represents the ground from which Catholicism was born and as such is to be honored if no longer accepted as the True Covenant. No, it is the secularized and "ethnic/tribal" version thereof that should be rejected by faithful Jewish believers and Christians alike, as is the case in the Jewish homeland of Israel

in which there exists no small amount of divisiveness between the Orthodox believers and the secular "tribals" who are more concerned with worldly power than an adherence to the beliefs of the Jewish faith.
Secularists— be they of whatever descent—are the true and openlydeclared enemies of the believers in God and His transcendence over fallen man and as such must be challenged before their efforts to destroy the Faith of the West make any further progress: the progressive destruction of Christendom calls for nothing less.
The principal weapon used by the secularists in their satanic "mission" is their ingenious but inhumane and certainly un-Godly control of what these days passes for "money", a goodstransfer mechanism that has lost its way from a sound system to one that is based upon jiggery-pokery of a shameful sort, one that permits the creation of "debt" that is backed by nothing but the consent of the deceived to a financial system that creates by use of accounting legerdemain what purports to be a legitimate monetary currency.
If there is to be a genuine "Crusade" to protect Catholicism and Christianity from subversion and destruction—both internal and external—, it must begin with an all-out assault upon the present fraudulent financial system that funds the secularist attack upon the Faith and the Church.
An apocryphal quote attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a patriarch of the Rothschild financial dynasty has it: "Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws"

Just so. Whether or not the late Mayer Amschel Rothschild actually stated this,
4 N.B.: also cited as "Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes her laws." See http://www.

history has borne out the truth of it. The money supply of the West is firmly in the control of a cabal of international and private bankers, superseding the sovereignty of all the nations of what once was Christendom. The late international banker well understood (if indeed he said what he is alleged to have said) the workings of societies; sadly, the truth of the statement seems to have been lost on the societies of the West, given the present state of affairs.
It would appear, then, that in the name of the defense of the Faith and the Church, and in the interest of the restoration of Christendom, a thorough understanding of financial and economic sovereignty is sine qua non, yet little attention to it is given by those from whom it has been usurped. If there is to be a "next Crusade" in defense of the authentic Catholic Faith and of Christendom as a whole, it must begin with a concentrated assault upon the "queen bee" of the secularist hive: monetary sovereignty.
The societal "command posts" referred to in this writer’s 30 April edition of the Remnant5 are dependent upon funding by those who, by the passive consent (silence implies consent) of a citizenry that permit them to, issue currency that is for all practical purposes counterfeit, given that it has no tangible backing. If the paymasters can no longer provide that funding, it is not difficult to imagine a reduction if not outright cessation of activity by the drones and worker bees; "no money, no honey" in the words of a crude but popular bit of doggerel.
The next Crusade, therefore, must begin with a struggle against this thoroughly entrenched group of anti-Christian secularists whose ultimate purpose is to destroy all belief in the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions in favor of an atheistic vision of humanity that would create a "humanistic" dynasty
5 N.B. "…the national press, the entertainment industry, the elite colleges and universities, and the higher ranks of the bench and the bar." (p. 13).
of overlords ruling over a financially (and thus materially) ignorant mass of believers in the transcendent incapable of understanding the mechanisms by which they are enslaved. If the utterly fraudulent and thus false now-globallyentrenched non-real-asset-backed and thus criminally counterfeit prevailing monetary system is not eliminated, Catholic Social Teaching is and will be nothing more than an intellectual curiosity to be laughed off by those who control the monetary exchange mechanisms of the world: sad but true.
Traditional Catholics, a now tiny minority among believers in a transcendent God Who in the final accounting governs the workings of the world He created, have very little power or influence within the Church and have no influence whatsoever with the secularists, nevertheless retain the right and responsibility to struggle on to change this state of affairs. Authentic Catholicism is largely rejected by Modernists of every stripe, be they coreligionists or openly declared enemies. This writer’s question is for how long and to what degree the authentic and faithful Catholic will continue to turn the other cheek before deciding to counterattack the well-organized and well-financed opposition our beliefs.
What—if any—form might this opposition take?
The annual Chartres pilgrimage offers a splendid organized public activity in support of God and the Faith and in opposition to apostasy, atheism and secularism, but there is no denying that further forms of Catholic action are required if a truly crusading spirit and struggle is to be fostered in civil life.
This writer’s belief is that the next "Crusade" must be first and foremost an activist posture against the non-tangibleasset- backed debt-money system that allows overtly anti-Christian financiers to exert an out-of-proportion influence over the four "command posts" of now-secularized Western societies: the political process, the educational systems, the media and legal systems as they have developed over the course of the twentieth century until the present day. Without the "greasing of the wheels" provided by control of finance, the ascendency of what has come to be known as "cultural Marxism"

might well never have occurred, given its intrinsic anti-Christian and thus anti-Western bias. If some degree of national sovereign control of currency is not restored, then to say the process of persuasion for the restoration of Christendom with respect to politics, education media and law will be an uphill battle is to underestimate by

various orders of magnitude the reality of the situation.
If there were a genuine "level playing field" in politics, education, media and law, a playing field in which the money-changers and their collaborators were unable to unfairly manipulate outcomes, said outcomes would likely be very different from what they are and will be unless their "expulsion from the temple" can be accomplished. This equates to: removing the excessive influence of funding from the political process; eliminating from "education" the equivalency of political indoctrination to practical instruction; forbidding the concentration of media outlets obtained by the use of financial manipulation by corporate entities determined to destroy competition and make new and independent entries into the field enormously difficult; greatly simplifying the legal system by returning jurisdictions to smaller governmental units, by eliminating needless and burdensome "regulations" and bureaucracy that serve little if any practical purpose and last but most certainly not least, redefining corporate "personhood" while lowering the monetary bar to litigation.
Clearly, the above is greatly oversimplified, but it serves as a general outline for obvious reforms that could be accomplished if the unjust and overweening influence of finance were to be barred from the playing field, so to speak; this writer believes that little short of a "crusade" of sorts is required for there to be any chance of such a non-violent Lepanto-like victory to actually come to pass. If Catholics— Traditional and otherwise—and indeed all Christians do not form a united front against secularism and its truly poisonous sequelae in civil life, the Faithful of a nottoo- distant future will almost certainly be driven to the catacombs by persecution both foreign and domestic, the latter aided by fifth columnists from alien cultures and traditions already entrenched in what once was Christendom and is now fast becoming a multicultural mish-mash presided over by political, academic, "journalistic" and judicial puppets manipulated by hidden hands of the money masters.
Traditional Catholics should be in the vanguard of those calling for a non-military crusade to restore monetary sovereignty to the nations of Christendom and once this objective is achieved, proceed on to smoke out the secularist hives that produce not honey but gall. Granted, monetary sovereignty is not exactly a stirring nor especially "Catholic" call to action, but it is nonetheless a call that needs to be heeded, because without it, barring Divine intervention, the Catholic cause is unlikely to prosper given the tremendously powerful societal forces that weigh in against it. While we maintain the eternal "high ground", the temporal is firmly in the hands of the secularists and their anti-Christian allies.
The next Crusade must be won by beginning with the pen and not with the sword. ■
