And the Media Said Nothing

During the current run up to the election, the usual suspects (NBC, ABC, CNN, New York Times, etc.) have been and will remain silent, but shouldn't responsible members of the media at least mention Hillary's longtime relationship with radical liberals such as J. Philip Wogaman? The answer, of course, is that most in the secular press are in tacit agreement with the likes of Wogaman or perhaps, as they have proven thus far, they'll do anything to cover for Hillary - or both. But are there no conservative writers, reporters, or pundits willing to connect the dots? And what about the Christian media? Is it that they simply just don't know?

It seems to me that Reverend Wogaman's penchant for one-world globalism and his long-held defense that religion was treated far more favorably in the USSR than in our country are certainly newsworthy.(4) Perhaps the current crop of talking heads in the media simply doesn't know that Hillary's former pastor and confidant once claimed that Christians in Russia or China were treated better than Marxists in the United States, or that he's argued that "a World Government may be the only solution." I document these statements and more in the DVD presentation "New Age or Not - What Difference Does it Make?"(5) I want to be careful to mention that I'm no fan of relying on the perception that an individual is "guilty" of common beliefs and lockstep thinking with others based on association alone. Pronouncing Bill and Hillary Clinton to be one-world globalists shouldn't be based merely on their attendance at Foundry Methodist when led by J. Philip Wogaman. However, it's fair to consider that the spiritual and geopolitical views of one's longtime pastor could at least be a possible indication of one's own beliefs. Concerning their agreement with Wogaman's globalist ideas, as far as my research has taken me, neither of the Clintons has ever offered any evidence to the contrary. Instead, considering the worldviews of the countless advisers they chose, many of whom were the best and the brightest leftists the CFR, Trilateral Commission, and Bilderbergers(6) had to offer and in the way they governed on the world stage for eight years (i.e. NAFTA, GATT, WTO, etc.), the Clintons clearly displayed common like-mindedness with Pastor Wogaman. One has to wonder in hindsight, in what ways did Wogaman influence the Clintons or was it vice versa? Regardless of that or who first sought out whom, these three are fellow travelers, with a history of advancing and advocating for New World Order globalism going all the way back to the 1960's.

Hillary's "Not Methodist" Methodism

If one wonders how Methodism has become the cesspool of theological liberalism and why their seminaries now regularly produce pulpiteers fit only for a heresy trial, look no further than the likes of J. Philip Wogaman. Back in 1998 Wogaman stated that the only absolute is God, but when humans fall into the belief that there are actually absolutes concerning what he called "cultural expressions" (such as heterosexuality or sexual fidelity) then the humans have succumbed to "idolatry."(7) Reverend Wogaman, described as a "Christian ethicist" who spent twenty-six years teaching, including eleven as dean of Wesley Theological Seminary,(8) famously stated from Foundry's pulpit that "the Scriptures, like the Washington Post, contain both truth and error"(9) and preached that the government - not the Church - is the answer for the poor.(10) Under Wogaman's leadership, Foundry Methodist Church in Washington even hosted a conference in 1999 featuring the WORLD FEDERALIST ASSOCIATION, arguably the most prolific Globalist, pro-world government lobbying organization at work in the United States, and the UNITED RELIGIONS INITIATIVE, whose goal was to form a permanent global inter-religious group to be known as "United Religions."(11)

Michael Lerner and "The Politics of Meaning"

Next, what about Rabbi Michael Lerner and the Marxist philosophy of Tikkun Magazine? If you've never heard of Lerner or Tikkun, don't feel bad. Only the nut cases on the left have gleefully pointed out Clinton's connection to Lerner with any regularity. As you might figure, I'm not quite so giddy. In my article from earlier this year, "Obama Had Bill Ayers - Clinton Had Michael Lerner,"(12) I wrote extensively about this and reminded readers that I have personally tracked the Clinton-Lerner connection from Arkansas to Washington, particularly as word of Lerner's influence with Hillary began to surface in about 1993. It was Lerner who spent days and nights at the White House, along the way coining the phrase that became the title of Hillary's 1996 book, The Politics of Meaning. In June of this year, Lerner addressed those gathered for boxer Muhammad Ali's memorial service.(13) This short eight-minute video illustrates that Lerner hasn't changed one bit since his time as leader of the Berkeley (CA) chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in the 1960's, to a time in the 1990's when the press dubbed him Mrs. Clinton's "guru," to the present day. Incidentally, I knew Lerner 45+ years ago, at least on the streets during the war protests around the University of Washington in Seattle. That was before he was arrested and held for several months in a California federal prison due to his involvement leading his own anarchist group, the Seattle Liberation Front, and over 2,000 protesters in an assault on the Seattle Federal Courthouse in February 1970.
