"... he (the Devil) will be so broadminded as to identify tolerance with indifference to right and wrong, truth and error; he will spread the lie that men will never be better until they make society better, and thus have selfishness to provide fuel for the next revolution; he will foster science, but only to have armament makers use one marvel of science to destroy another; he will foster more divorces under the disguise that another partner is "vital": he will increase love for love and decrease love for person; he will invoke religion to destroy religion... his mission, he will say, will be to liberate men from the servitudes of superstition and Fascism, which he will never define; he will organize children's games, tell people whom they should and should not marry and unmarry, who should bear children and who should not; he will benevolently draw chocolate bars from his pockets for the little ones, and bottles of milk for the Hottentotts.
"He will tempt Christians with the same three temptations with which he tempted Christ. The temptation to turn stones into bread as an earthly Messiah will become the temptation to sell freedom for security, making bread a political weapon which only those who think this way may eat. The temptation to work a miracle by recklessly throwing himself from a steeple will become a plea to desert the lofty pinnacles of truth, where faith and reason reign, for those lower depths where the masses live on slogans and propaganda. He wants no proclamation of immutable principles from the lofty heights of a steeple, but mass organization through propaganda where only a common man directs the idiosyncrasies of common men. Opinions not truths, commentators not teachers, Gallup polls not principles, nature not grace to these golden calves will men toss themselves from their Christ."
-Fulton Sheen, in Communism and the conscience of the West.
Critics who sometimes disparage Social Crediters as believing in "something for nothing," might ponder the following.
Until the Russian attack of 1939, Finland had paid the US Government more than $8,000,000 (chiefly in interest) on her original $8, 282,000 World War I relief loan. After World War II she began paying again, still having $13,000,000 to go.
The beneficiaries of the present system of debt-finance do not believe in "something for nothing," do they!
