Patriot for Profit?

(Hire me and your problems will be reduced.)

by Pastor Brown.

In an article entitled "Now a Way to Expose Infiltrators" by William Michael Kemp, which appears more like an advertisement, misguided suggestions are set forth by him. First, he builds his case of why he is needed - his services are offered for a fee - based upon the growing problem of government snitches. ($ Chi-ching $, $ chi-ching $!) By listing the usual government fiascoes as buzz words, he then touts how effective he has become in analyzing voice stress, and at last offers his "non-fool" proof service, by his own admission, to others for a nominal fee, of course. One example of a question was given which is faulty on its face: "Which is the higher authority -- the Bill of Rights, or the Supreme Court?" If one is speaking of authority, then it is unconscionable to ignore the Sovereign of the universe, the LORD Jesus Christ, and HIS absolute, unmitigated authority.

What that portends is that if one who has humbled himself unto the LORD Jesus Christ were to answer Kemp's proposed question "Which is the higher authority -- the Bill of Rights, or the Supreme Court?" with an answer other than what he gave which was "The Bill of Rights", then that one would become suspect. Although his answer is correct, a conscientious believer's would be distrusted.

Question: Who has checked Mr. Kemp? He said, "I envision the leadership councils of the various groups voluntarily, eagerly submitting to voice stress analysis. I envision that the leaders of the various citizens' organizations shall affirm their loyalty for voice stress analysis for the benefit of their membership. I envision that the members of various citizens' groups shall voluntarily and eagerly require that all members affirm their loyalty publicly and submit the recorded results for voice stress analysis. I envision a gathering at Knob Creek where, by mutual consent, attendance is dependent upon passing such an analysis, conducted by an independent contractor (who has himself passed such a screening). I envision a very simple, non-intrusive, very-much-to-the-point standardized set of questions."

Mr. Kemp employs the word "I" far to frequently in his proposal. In just one paragraph cited above he uses 112 words, and in that paragraph 5 times Mr. Kemp was compelled to say 'I."

The problem with William Michael Kemp's offer is that, if accepted by the gullible, it would become a bottlenecked operation. The Patriot community would become dependent upon this self professed technician (independent contractor - him?) to uncover infiltrators in the various groups.

Folks, it must be remembered that in the course of mankind's existence upon God's earth there have been traitors. General George Washington had his Benedict Arnold, David, Israel's glorious king, had Ahithophel, and Christ Jesus our LORD had Judas. All of which were betrayed by those closely involved in their cause. Mr. Kemp is correct to raise concerns. His proposal, however, promotes the potential for more - not less - mistrust among freedom loving Americans.

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do." - Edward Everett Hale
