5.0 out of 5 stars Jewish Talmud Equals New World Order! May 8, 2011

By Brian S. Shore

Amazon Verified Purchase

This book, "The New Babylon", by Michael Collins Piper, is an EXCELLENT read! It details the Jewish and Zionist elements behind the New World Order-something which is lacking in so many "conspiracy" books, presumably because most people are afraid of being labeled "anti-semitic"; and/or they have their works edited and published by one of the Jewish-controlled publishing houses, which censor out anything which sounds "anti-Jewish" (Jim Marrs, for example, admitted that he was censored from revealing information about media control in one of his books, but then that is the price he had to pay to reach a wide audience through Harper Collins publishing). But fortunately there is the American Free Press and their group of no-holds-barred reporters, including Michael Collins Piper, who are not afraid to expose the truth about government coverups and the true nature of the New World Order (even Alex Jones has become quiet in talking about Zionism, which seems to have begun when he was first on George Noory's pro-Israel Coast-to-Coast AM program a few years ago). In "The New Babylon", the author aims to convince the reader that the Jewish Talmud is the real motivation and blueprint behind the New World Order, and to this end he covers all bases: in particular, the Rothschild banking family and their offshoots; and the Bronfman crime family, along with their ties to Meyer Lansky (a Jew), Al Capone, and even John McCain's rise to prominence. The author does NOT condemn ALL Jewish people, and this is truly a Five-Star book-which EVERYONE including Jews should read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive February 16, 2011

By TruthSeeker

An outstanding book that details the ubiquitous growth of Rothchild influence around the world.

Favourite Quote from the book:
"As long as we were in good standing with the Jewish people (international bankers on Wall Street - Ed) of New York, everything went well for us. But when they turned against us, everything fell apart."

Imelda Marcos 1987.

It was interesting to read about her shoe collection. The "western" media has always claimed that her enormous collection of shoes is evidence of her greed and recklessly extravagant spending, but the truth is that the shoes were gifts from the Phillipino shoe industry. The vast majority of the shoes didn't even fit her.
The real reason for the CIA/Mossad engineered coup in 1986, which saw the Marcos' swept from power, was that the Marcos family were attempting to get the Jewish international bankers out of their financial system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Money Control and Jewish Intrigue June 25, 2012

By syed saboor

Was it not Mir Amschel Rothchild who said: "Give me control over a nation's wealth and I care not who makes the laws." Jews run our finances, in short.

For anyone to deny the Rothchild preeminence in the financial realm of affairs is either a liar or mentally ill. Their enormous holdings and control over the world's banking system makes them ubiquitous in terms of their leverage in the day-to-day lives of the world's inhabitants.

Unlike many others who claim to be truth tellers, like Noam Chomsky and the late Howard Zinn, for instance, Michael Collins Piper actually names the names. Chomsky is a typical disinfo agent who never mentions the Rothchilds and Rockefelers.

Establishment publications have kept negating the real men behind the money. Forbes magazine never mentiones the top five richest men in the world as either being a Rothchild or a Rockefeler. But now the truth cannot be hid anymore from the public. "In the New Babylon," we clearly see who has a stranglehold over our purse strings.

4.0 out of 5 stars From a Christian Fundamentalist January 3, 2012

By justsomeguy 0_o

Michael Collins Piper has written a tremendous book. My only issue with the book are Mr. Piper's theological claims. Piper seems to think that the Old Testament is evil and that Jesus is good, and not at all like Old Testament Yahweh. I will address this point generally and then return to some of Mr. Piper's more precise claims.

What is the greatest of all commandments?
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength " (Deut 6:4,5).
What does this mean? Verse 4 states very plainly that Yahweh alone is to be worshipped, He alone is worthy: "You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is THE God; besides him there is no other" (Deut 4:35). What does it mean to love Him with all your heart? The heart in the Bible is the seat of emotions and thoughts. It means that every feeling and thought that you have has to be grounded and anchored in love for God. All of your thinking and all of your feeling must be done to the glory of God, out of love for Him, to His pleasure:
"For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." (Hos 6:6). "Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place" (Psalm 51:6, cf 2 Cor 10:5). What about the soul? The Hebrew word 'nephesh' means life. This word is translated in 45 different ways in the A.V. It has nothing to do with Greek dualism (i.e., that the souls is a ''ghost'' living inside your body). Loving God with all your life means all areas of life. You are to extend that love to everything you do. You don't worship and love God two hours a day and then the rest of the day is ''your time....'' Instead, all of life must be worship, and all of life must be to His glory and pleasure. And you are supposed to do this with ''all you strength,'' meaning you must do it whole - heartedly, with full effort.
Jesus Christ confirmed this commandment in Matt 22:37 and added a quote from Leviticus 19:18, which reads: "`Love your neighbor as yourself.'All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (v. 39,40). Obviously, since man is created as God's image - bearer, his task is to represent God on earth, and be His ambassador. When your neighbor is in need, God's representative is in need, as if God Himself was in need. Loving your neighbor is loving God.
Christ beautifully fulfilled these two commandments through His incarnation and death on the cross: "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Phil 2:5-11). Christ loved God through His obedience and sacrifice, and He loved mankind (his neighbor) by saving God's elect through His death. This is the goal of the Christian, to imitate Christ in every way and aspect of life:
"For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers." (Rom 8:29) "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." (2Cor 3:18) Jesus Christ in every way confirmed His absolute devotion to Yahweh. For example, while disputing with the Sadducee's concerning the resurrection, He said: "have you not read what God said to you " (Matt 22:31). For Jesus Christ, the Old Testament was God speaking directly to mankind, and He held the highest view of the inspiration of Scripture (cf. Luke 24:44; 2Tim 3:16,17 [speaking of the Old Testament]; 2Sam 23:2,3 etc).
The concept of conforming to the image of Christ (the second Adam) is taken straight out from the Old Testament. Observe the Word of God: "`You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.'" (Exodus 19:4-6) The point being, now that God has taken Israel for Him self, they are to imitate Him: "I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy" (Leviticus 11:44). This verse was quoted by Peter (1Pt 1:16) and modified by Christ: "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matt 5:48). Jesus affirms in this verse that Old Testament Yahweh is perfect!
And so, you can't chop the Bible up and create a dichotomy between the Old Testament Yahweh and the New Testament Jesus Christ, for they are one and the same (i.e., the doctrine of the Trinity), as it is written: "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by his powerful word" (Heb 1:3). Jesus Christ was the one who brought Israel out of Egypt (as the Angel of the LORD) and gave them His Spirit in order to conform them to His image. In this next quote, Peter is talking about the Old Testament saints who were filled with the Spirit of Christ: "Concerning this salvation [the Gospel], the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things" (1Pt 1:10-12) The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Yahweh and the Spirit of Christ is the same Spirit (cf 1Cor 12:11). "You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the SPIRIT OF GOD lives in you. And if anyone does not have the SPIRIT OF CHRIST, he does not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you." (Rom 8:9-11). And so, when it comes to conforming to the image of Christ, God Himself leads by example. Christian doctrine has always held that Yahweh from the Old Testament (not the Father, but the second Person of the Trinity, the Son) became a man through the incarnation in Jesus Christ. That is what the hymn in Philippians (above) is all about!
God's glory is seen through His self-sacrifice and self-humiliation on the cross of calvary. Even though He sits on His throne in heaven, He is near His people and not distant: "For this is what the high and lofty One says--he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite." (Isaiah 57:15 cf Rev 5:6). Compare the following passages which speak of Yahweh and His Messiah:
Yahweh: "In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, HIGH and EXALTED, and the train of his robe filled the temple" (Isa 6:1).
Messiah: "See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and HIGHLY EXALTED" (Isa 52:13).
Yahweh: "By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me EVERY KNEE WILL BOW; by me EVERY TOUNGE WILL SWEAR" (Isa 45:23)
Messiah: "Therefore God EXALTED him to the HIGHEST place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and EVERY TOUNGE CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Phil 2:9-11). There are many passages that demonstrate that Christ is Yahweh (see especially John 1:1-18; 12:37-50; Hebrews 1). As amazing and mind boggling as it sounds, the God of Israel, Yahweh, was crucified for His elect out of love for mankind. "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation" (2Cor 5:19). The Gospel of Jesus Christ was foreshadowed in the Old Testament and is in fact the very purpose of creation itself: "Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known THROUGH THE PROPHETIC WRITINGS by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him-- to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen." (Rom 16:25-27).

But what about the wars against the nations of old? "What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!" (Rom 9:14). First of all, God is Sovereign, and we His creatures have no right whatever to judge Him: "I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things..."Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker, to him who is but a potsherd among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, 'What are you making?'" (Isa 45:6-9) "Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him" (Psalm 115:3). "The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all" (Psalm 103:19). "The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths" (Psalm 135:6). "All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: "What have you done?" (Daniel 4:35). "To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it" (Deut 10:14).

Secondly: "God is light; in him there is no darkness at all" (1John 1:5).
Thirdly, if we simply allow the Bible to define it's own context we will see that the aforementioned wars was part of GOD'S GRACIOUS ACT! How so you ask? Let's just start at the beginning. Before the flood of Noah, wicked satanic evil angels descended to earth and cohabited with women, and they begot giants (Gen 6:4; 2Peter 2:4,5; Jude 1:6,7). These giants were the ancient kings and were very evil. They were for the most part destroyed through the flood, but they were also present afterwards. Now, the flood came because of man's wickedness (Gen 6:5; 8:21), who voluntarily participated in this heinous act of idolatry, and was therefore ultimately to blame. The giants were half human (who are by nature evil) and half satanic angel, they were literally demons in the flesh! Are you not glad they're not around anymore? And so after the flood, they, the giants (the remnants of them), are in all the nations surrounding Israel. So let's put this into proper perspective. There is a fraction of God's heavenly court who rebelled (the so-called fallen angels), and are as always bent on destroying humanity. Man, because of his sinful nature, is constantly choosing to follow these false god's. In fact, after the building of the tower of Babel, God's judgment on the nations was to give the people exactly what they wanted, the worship of evil angels, who were stationed as leaders of these nations (see Deut 4:19 and especially Deut 32:8,9 [see the Septuagint and the Dead Sea Scrolls, not the Masoretic text]; Daniel 10; Romans 1). Let's take Egypt as an example. The sorcerers in Pharaoh's court were also able to turn a stick into a snake, and make water into blood etc. How? because they were under the rule of satanic forces - forces who hate both God and mankind! Is it not a good thing to get rid of satanic empires? God gave the nations time to repent, actually, over 400 years of time (see Acts 17:24-31). He said to Abram: "In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure" (Gen 15:16). Look up all of these Scriptures and see who lived in those countries that Israel killed of: Numbers 13:32-33; Deuteronomy 2:10-12, 19-21; 3:11; Joshua 12:3-5; 13:11-13; 15:7-9; 17:14-16. These people are worshiping satanic angels, being ruled over by demons in the flesh (giants), and just to top it of, the way they worship Satan is by burning their children alive!
"They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to THE IDOLS OF CANAAN, and the land was desecrated by their blood" (Psalm 106:37,8 cf. Ezekiel 16:20; 20:31; 23:37; Jeremiah 7:31).
Yahweh didn't arbitrarily just kill of a bunch of people for the fun of it. Bringing Israel in to those nations and exterminating them was an act of divine judgment and holy wrath. And quite frankly, they had it coming, and we all today benefit from the absence of satanic nations murdering their own children by burning them on an altar. These false god's were also judged, read Psalm 82; Isaiah 24:21-23; Matthew 25:41 etc. People from these nations who chose to repent from their sins and turn towards the God of Israel were welcomed by God Himself: "And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle" (Exodus 12:37,38). The mixed multitudes were non-Jewish people who joined Israel on their journey with God (and let us not forget the repentant harlot Rahab). Furthermore God commanded in the Torah: "The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God" (Lev 19:34). "Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt." (Exodus 22:21). "And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt" (Deut 10:19). Yahweh held the same standard for Israel as for all other nations: "Are not you Israelites the same to me as the Cushites?" declares the Lord. "Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir? "Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord are on the sinful kingdom. I will destroy it from the face of the earth--yet I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob," (Amos 9:7-8). Don't think for a second that Yahweh endorses (Jewish)evil behavior: "For my own name's sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you [Israel], so as not to cut you off" (Isaiah 48:9) The Israelite religion of the Old Testament was, from a moral perspective, the same as Christianity. Israel was to reflect God's glory on earth. Most of the time, she failed miserably. When Christ came, the long awaited and promised Messiah, Israel killed Him. God then destroyed the Temple and the old covenant with it. This was prophesied from of old: "The time is coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah" (Jeremiah 31:31). Was Yahweh pleased with Israel's wicked behavior? "the word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by their conduct and their actions. Their conduct was like a woman's monthly uncleanness in my sight. So I poured out my wrath on them because they had shed blood in the land and because they had defiled it with their idols. I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions. And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy name..." (Ezekiel 36:16-20).
Please also notice that the new covenant is made with Israel, not any other nation. This new covenant was fulfilled in Christ (see the discussion in Hebrews 7-10). This means, that the true Israel of God embraced Christ, while the false Israel (the unrepentant Jews) rejected Him, for as it is written "not all who are descended from Israel are Israel" (Rom 9:6 see Paul's whole discussion of this in ch 9-11). In the new covenant which God made with Israel, there is no longer a dichotomy between Jews and other people. People from all races can join through faith in Christ without joining national Israel (for from a biblical perspective, there is no such thing as a national Israel anymore): "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for YOU [Israel] and your children and for ALL WHO ARE FAR OF--for all whom the Lord our God will call." With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day" (Acts 2:38-41). Those who accepted Peter's message were God's ''true Jews.'' Read through the Book of Acts and see how the apostles preached nothing but the hopes and promises made to Israel (and they preached these promises to the gentiles also). Paul calls the Christians for ''the Israel of God'' (Gal 6:16) and this includes non-Jews (Eph 2:12). He even calls Christians for true Jews (Rom 2:28,29), and the true seed of Abraham (Gal 3:29).
And so, biblically speaking, any person who has repented and embraced Christ, and is in the process of being conformed to His image, is part of Yahweh's Israel. The people who to day claim to be Israel, and who go under the name ''Jews'' are something quite different: "I [Jesus] will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you" (Rev 3:9).
Just to be sure, the synagogue of Satan includes anyone who's not in Christ, and has not repented of his sins, and is in rebellion against Christ and outside Israel (2Tim 2:24-26).

I would recommend especially two books in order to further understand this issue: Jesus and the God of Israel: God Crucified and Other Studies on the New Testament's Christology of Divine Identity by Richard Buckham. And Is God a Moral Monster?: Making Sense of the Old Testament God by Paul Copan.

Back to Mr. Piper. He writes "...the Old Testament demonstrate, from the beginning, a constant Jewish theme that the world belonged to the Jews and that all others on the planet were at the mercy and whim of Jewish interests" (p 57). He then goes on to quote verbatim from Deuteronomy 7 & 20, concerning the annihilation of these nations and taking them as slaves. As already seen, Mr. Piper misses the broader historical context that these passages describe. These wars were not about Jewish supremacism. And as I've also shown, the Israelites were to love the alien people within their land (including slaves). slavery was built into the economic system of the day (I'm sure Mr. Piper, who seems very knowledgeable, is very well aware of that). However, the Old Testament gave slaves rights and privileges that were radical in comparison to the laws in the ancient Near East, a fact that is rarely mentioned (and this in turn paved the way for the Christian understanding of slavery). God's will was not for the Jews to oppress other people, on the contrary. After Mr. Piper's citations from Deuteronomy he writes: "Chilling words indeed for any non-Jew. Yet this is what the Jews of ancient times and of today consider the word of their God" (p 58). By articulating ''their God,'' Mr. Piper leaves me with the impression that He thinks the Old Testament really is racist, and that the God of the Old Testament is fundamentally different from the God of the New Testament. Not so.
In the Old Testament Yahweh said: "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes" (Malachi 4:5). Did Jesus accept this prophesy? He certainly did, and in Matthew 11:11-15 He identified John the Baptist as Elijah that was to come. If Jesus accepted the prophesy it means He accepted the one giving the prophesy (Yahweh), and the person fulfilling it. John the Baptist rebuked the racism of the Jews: "And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham" (Matt 3:9). That the Jews were a bunch of racists there is no question, but that was in spite of their Scriptures, not because of them. Jesus also quoted Isaiah 56:7 when He said: "And as he taught them, he said, "Is it not written: "'My [Old Testament Yahweh's] house will be called a house of prayer for ALL NATIONS'? But you have made it 'a den of robbers" (Mark 11:17). The great and terrible day that Malachi was talking about was the destruction of the temple in 70 AD, the day of vengeance for murdering Jesus.
Any person who reads through the Old Testament should not conclude with the words to the effect of Mr. Piper's, that there is a constant theme of Jewish Supremacism, but rather one should notice the constant theme of God being angry with the Jews for their immorality.
Let's look at another example more fitting to Mr. Pipers book. Afterall, he writes about how the Jews are cheating the world financially. What did Yahweh think of This? "Hear this, you who trample the needy and do away with the poor of the land, saying, "When will the New Moon be over
that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?"-- skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, buying the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the sweepings with the wheat. The Lord has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: "I will never forget anything they have done" (Amos 8:4-7). Sound just like Mr. Piper's complaints about Jews in America today. Please don't say God is only angry because Jews cheated other Jews, because remember, you are to love the alien as yourself, i.e., as another Jew. The LORD says to them through Jeremiah: "If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly, if you do not oppress THE ALIEN, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your forefathers for ever and ever" (Jer 7:5-7).
And so, if we accept Jesus we must accept ALL of Scripture (because He did, cf John 10:35), which clearly shows that God's Word in Deuteronomy were never meant to convey racism. Obviously I don't consider Mr. Piper a Christian, yet, in another book, he writes "Our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ" (p i of The Passion Play). Mr. Piper is being inconsistent in this respect. Jesus did not come to overthrow Biblical religion "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them" (Matt 5:17). Jesus did however rebuke the Jews for perverting the Word of God: "you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that" (Mark 7:13).
Mr. Piper, if you read this, and I know you don't pretend to be a Christian, but please realize your salvation is determined by your relationship with Christ. He is your Lord, but unless he becomes your Savior also your are doomed, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom 3:23).

Otherwise, the book is great. Read more ›
