"Whenever young documentary film-makers ask me how they can 'make a difference', I reply that it is really quite simple. They need to break the silence." - John Pilger

DEALERS IN DEATH

Filmed in 1935, “Dealers in Death” documentary film offers a contemporary view of the mostimportant makers of armaments in the world at that time. It uses a case-history format to explore the activities of these companies, which is augments by newsreel footage that shows preparation for war and a look at wars of the past. It also includes predictions about what future wars could encompass, all through the lens of pre-World War II film making.

The arms makers examined in the Dealers in Death documentary feature companies such as Vickers-Armstrong, Skoda, Krupp, Remington, and Colt. Newsreel footage is used as a counterpoint to the investigation of deals made among the companies to prolong the fighting.The reality of war and the devastation of the battlefields emphasize the sinister and cynical nature of the munitions industry.

The film presents a pacifistic, anti-war viewpoint, with the filmmakers basically arguing that the largest munitions companies in the world, chiefly companies in Europe, collaborate in their work even when their nations are at war. More interested in making money that supporting their respective national interests, the film suggests that the arms companies manipulate events to extend the duration of any given war. The film focuses its efforts on examining the substantial profits made by armament manufacturers during World War I and extrapolates as to what that might mean for coming wars.

The documentary covers topics of special interest during the times of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had requested legislation to remove profits from war.

DEFAMATION

Defamation is a 2009 documentary film by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Shamir. It examines antisemitism and, in particular, the way perceptions of antisemitism affect Israeli and U.S. politics. A major focus of the film is the Anti-Defamation League. Defamation won Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2009 Asia Pacific Screen Awards.

Intent on shaking up the ultimate ‘sacred cow’ for Jews, Israeli director Yoav Shamir embarks on a provocative – and at times irreverent – quest to answer the question, “What is anti-Semitism today?”

DERIVATIVES: THE DEBT BOMB

The derivatives market is the Las Vegas of the world’s financial super elite, worth anywhere between 2 to 8 quadrillion dollars compared to about 70 trillion dollars of world GDP. We look at the so-called financial innovations of Wall Street from Collateralized Debt Obligations to Mortgage Backed Securities.

We also look at US government’s complicity; White House and Congress both vested interests not only as recipients of Wall Street largess in the form of campaign donations but as major players with criminal
asymmetrical information and influence advantages.

DIRECTING GOVERNMENT TO ITS DUTY – ROMANS 13:1-4

Questions presented in the sermon include the following:

Can you be submissive to government while simultaneously practicing civil disobedience? Can you practice civil disobedience while maintaining a submissive posture by humbly subjecting ourselves to the consequences of our civil disobedience?

The answer is “yes”. When our responsibility to Christ leads us into conflicts with the government, we have to gracefully, humbly and submissively bear up under that consequence.

Government leaders are servants appointed by and accountable to God. They cannot set terms of worship because this is outside of their jurisdiction.

When is civil disobedience necessary?

– When government forbids what God commands.

– When government commands what God forbids.

– When government commands what is not for them to command. (Examples: terms of worship for the local church; to this we cannot comply. They have no jurisdiction.)

Other excerpts from Pastor Coates February 14, 2021 sermon:

Government is accountable to God. The church must inform the government of their God ordained role. It is the role of the church to call them to accountability, and to let them know that they are suppressing the truth in unrighteousness, and to call them to repentance. Not to do so would be walking in negligence and being unloving, because they are storing up wrath for the day of judgment. They need to be confronted with their sin in order to realize that they need to be reconciled to God through the Son Jesus Christ.

It is the government’s role to protect the unalienable rights for men to fulfill their responsibilities. They must govern in accordance with the word of God which defines good and evil. They should protect rights.

It is not the government’s responsibility to protect us from a virus. Viruses are ordained by God. Viruses are inevitable in a fallen world. It is God who determines life and death.

Complying with unbiblical and unjust governmental laws is neither faithful nor loving. Affirming that the government has an authority that it does not have is also neither faithful or loving.

 

DISCOVERING THE REACH OF THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS

In theory, America’s government is supposed to be “of the people, by the people, for the people.” While this concept rang true in early America, and many individuals still trust in it, the last century has seen the reality of power increasingly shift from the people to an establishment rooted in banking, Wall Street, and powerful multinational corporations. Syndicated columnist Edith Kermit Roosevelt, granddaughter of Teddy Roosevelt, explained:

The word “Establishment” is a general term for the power elite in international finance, business, the professions and government, largely from the northeast, who wield most of the power regardless of who is in the White House. Most people are unaware of the existence of this “legitimate Mafia.” Yet the power of the Establishment makes itself felt from the professor who seeks a foundation grant, to the candidate for a cabinet post or State Department job. It affects the nation’s policies in almost every area. — James Perloff, Council On Foreign Relations Influencing American Government
