The Fine Print
Of course there are details. Here are some of them: During the first year you must stop reading, watching, or listening to the
mainstream media for one hour a day. This means cutting out
- 2 TV sit-coms (e.g., "Seinfeld" and "Everybody Loves Raymond")
- one hour-long TV drama (e.g., CSI Miami)
- one game show and one soap opera (e.g., "Wheel of Fortune" and "Days of Our Lives")
- "American Idol," "Dancing with the Stars," etc.
- the morning paper and the Evening News (e.g., "Los Angeles Times" and "CBS Evening News With Katie Couric")
- radio, at home or in the car (e.g., Howard Stern, NPR, Rush Limbaugh, or Golden Oldies)
- one CD or an hour's worth of i-tunes.
- one DVD rental
- an hour of video games (online or offline)
- Hannity and Colmes
- O'Reilly Factor
- an hour of Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, or other internet gossip sites.
- any combination of any form of mainstream media, including mainstream websites like "The Drudge Report"
In place of these distractions, you will substitute in its place 35-45 minutes of our daily reading program, 5 or 6 minutes answering no-trick questions, and a few minutes of
prayerful thought.
20 minutes in the morning, 20 in the evening.
15 minutes for breakfast, 15 minutes at lunch, 15 minutes after dinner.
Any way you choose.
Our daily reading
program consists of the five most important works in the history of western civilization. The first book, obviously, is the Bible. It takes about 11 minutes a day to read the
Bible from cover to cover. We will send you daily assignments from the other books, about 6 minutes a day from each. We'll also work on applying these principles in your daily
life. Less than one hour a day total.

Five Works - The Foundations of Western Civilization
The Bible is the most important book in the history of Western Civilization. It is also the book more people
own but have never read. Yet these same people have dogmatic opinions about the nature of the Bible and what it says. Because you are a victim of educational malpractice, and lack
a colonial American education, you may have erroneous pre-conceived ideas about the Bible that close your mind to the conclusions to which we are trying to lead you. You may doubt
our credibility and reliability to the point where you will not be persuaded by anything we say about the Bible. Therefore we will require you to read four (4) other works which
are widely regarded as being among the most important in the history of Western Civilization. Reading these four works, in addition to the Bible, will re-create a colonial
American education in just one year. These four credible, reliable, and time-honored works will abundantly confirm our "anarchist" and "Theocratic"
interpretation of the Bible and the human condition. We will show you how to download these works for free from the Internet. Success experts like Brian
Tracy say you should read for an hour each day in your chosen field to be successful (that's more than a dozen books a year). George
Washington read the Bible for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. Your "chosen field" was chosen for you by God: to be an extraordinary human being. If
you can't read just four of the most important books in the history of Western Civilization next year, you'll
never be a success in the human race.
At a time when the total population of America was only four million people, it is estimated that some five million copies of the "Westminster Shorter
Catechism" were available in the colonies. Historian Richard Gardiner writes:
The Westminster Catechism was not only a central part of the colonial educational curriculum, learning it was required by law. Each
town employed an officer whose duty was to visit homes to hear the children recite the Catechism. The primary schoolbook for children, the New England Primer,
included the Catechism. Daily recitations of it were required at these schools. Their curriculum included memorization of the Westminster Confession and the Westminster Larger
Catechism. There was not a person at Independence Hall in 1776 who had not been exposed to it, and most of them had it spoon fed to them before they could walk.
Clearly, America was a Christian Theocracy, a nation "under God." Nobody in 2012 likes that word "Theocracy." (It means "God
governs." It does not mean "priests govern." You can have a "Theocracy" with no priests or clergy whatsoever.) A nation "under
God" is, by definition, a Theocracy. The "Vine & Fig Tree" society is a Christian Theocracy, where everyone
believes that God says "Thou shalt not steal" and "Thou shalt not kill." When this happens, your life, liberty, and property are safe. It will take you 3
minutes to read the next few paragraphs, a survey of America's Theocratic history. In the 1600's, the Puritans created America as a "City
Upon a Hill." Their first goal was to convert the natives to Christianity, and then transform the entire planet into a Christian Theocracy. The
first Virginia Charter, 1606, issued by King James I, recited the purposes of the colony:
"To make Habitation . . . and to deduce a colony of sundry of our People into that part of America commonly called Virginia . . . in propagating of Christian religion to
such People, as yet live in Darkness . . . [to] bring . . . a settled and quiet Government."
Every subsequent charter for every other colony had the same purpose: propagate the Christian religion.
Massachusetts Charter, 1629: "Our said People. . . may be soe religiously, peaceablie, and civilly governed, as their good Life and orderlie Conversacon maie wynn
and incite the Natives of [that] Country, to the Knowledge and Obedience of the onlie true god and Sauior of Mankinde, and the Christian fayth, which in our Royall Intencon . . .
is the principall Ende of this Plantacon." New England Confederation, 1643: [Composed of Mass., Conn., New Plymouth, and New Haven] "We
all came into these parts of America, with one and the same end and aim, namely, to advance the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ."
In 1775, America consisted of 13 Christian Theocracies. This is an indisputable fact. The Declaration of Independence (1776) is a Theocratic document. It says things that
cannot be said in nations which claim to be "secular." In our day the federal government makes it illegal for a
school teacher in a government-run school to teach students that the Declaration of Independence really is true.
The Federal Government says that teachers in government-operated schools paid for by your property taxes cannot "endorse"
or "promote" these ideas. Students can be taught that a long time ago some dead white guys wearing powdered
wigs believed the Declaration of Independence was true, but teachers cannot say it really is objectively true (regardless of what anyone believes
about it), and that students should stand up and risk their lives, their fortunes and the sacred honor in defense of those unchanging
true principles.
- In 1776, America consisted of 13 Christian Theocracies.
James Madison, "the Father of the Constitution," told his fellow Virginia legislators in 1785 that they should keep in mind the original purposes of Virginia, and vote
against any proposed legislation if
the policy of the bill is adverse to the diffusion of the light of Christianity. The first wish of those who enjoy this precious gift, ought
to be that it may be imparted to the whole race of mankind. Compare the number of those who have as yet received it with the number still remaining under the dominion of false
Religions; and how small is the former! Does the policy of the Bill tend to lessen the disproportion? No; it at once discourages those who are strangers to the light
of (revelation) from coming into the Region of it; and countenances, by example the nations
who continue in darkness, in shutting out those who might convey it to them. Instead of levelling as far as possible, every obstacle to the victorious progress of
truth, the Bill with an ignoble and unchristian timidity would circumscribe it, with a wall of defence, against the encroachments of error.
Memorial
and Remonstrance, 1785
When 13 Christian Theocracies ratified a new Constitution in 1789, not one of them believed they were ratifying a secular
Constitution which empowered the federal government to impose atheism (the absence of true religion) on the 13
Christian Theocracies, including their schools and all public buildings. In 1844, the U.S. Supreme Court decided the case of Vidal
v. Girard's Executors, 43 U.S. 127 (1844), which said that government-funded schools must teach "the Bible, and especially the New Testament" "as a divine
revelation," and that a secular school "is not to be presumed to exist in a Christian country." In 1892, a still-conservative U.S. Supreme Court looked back on
this case and the rest of American history and reminded a post-Darwinian America that she was still legally and officially
a Christian nation. Most Americans are uncomfortable with America's Christian Theocratic past. They are relieved, therefore, when they learn that the U.S. Supreme Court
threw out that 1892 case in the 20th century and swung to the opposite (secular) extreme. A government that will not admit it is "under
God" is a government that believes it IS God. Whereas America was originally conceived as a Christian "City upon a Hill," to export Christianity around the
world, the United States is now a secular "City upon a Hill," exporting atheism, weapons, pornography, and fascism
around the world. It takes approximately 11 minutes per day to read through the Bible from cover to cover. It only takes a couple of minutes to read through the
Westminster Catechisms and Confession. They were written around 1645 and the drafters unequivocally opposed "anarchism." But they believed that God is God, and denied
that the State is God, a necessary first step on your road to becoming a "Vine & Fig Tree" anarchist.
#3 Track 10. Capitalism.mp3
1:43 Liberty Under
God
- America's Founders spoke of America as "an Experiment in
Liberty" (1787-1887)
- The "experiment" was a success: a Free Market made America the most prosperous and admired nation in history. "Capitalism"
means freedom.
- In the 20th century, the experiment in liberty was replaced with another experiment: an experiment in central planning
- The original American dream of personal, private ownership, has been replaced with private indebtedness and public control.
- The Invisible Hand of the Free Market works better than the
Visible Fist of Government
- America was founded on the philosophy of "Liberty Under God."
- "Liberty" means freedom from government suppression of ideas and confiscation of wealth
- "Under God" means we have a personal responsibility to love God and neighbor.
- The original American Dream: Everyone dwelling safely under his own Vine & Fig Tree
- Human beings are endowed with the right to property by God, not the government.
- America was founded as a "City upon a Hill," a Christian nation from
which the Gospel would be promoted around the world, and the "blessings
of liberty" would cover the planet.
- There is a difference between "the state" and "society."
Society = the people.
- Economics in One Lesson:
- From this aspect, therefore, the whole of economics can be reduced to a single lesson, and that lesson can be reduced to a single sentence: The art of economics
consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one
group but for all groups.
- America's Founders recognized that liberty requires Christian morality.
Many people today believe that the government produces wealth. Others want the government to redistribute wealth ("spread the wealth") to special
interests. Such people wouldn't even entertain the idea of abolishing the government, much less actively work toward that goal. "The government can give us
whatever we want if we just vote the most generous and compassionate politicians into office." Adam Smith would be appalled at such ignorance and immorality. Smith taught
ethics at the University of Glasgow and wrote a Theory
of Moral Sentiments .
In the same year as the Declaration of Independence was written (1776), Adam Smith wrote a book entitled An
Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of The Wealth of Nations,
widely regarded as the first treatise on capitalism. Capitalism is unquestionably one of the most important features of Western Civilization. Capitalist nations enjoy
health and prosperity. Capitalism is the opposite of socialism. Socialist nations can't spread the wealth, they can only spread the poverty. Socialism -- government
intervention in the economy -- is not just inefficient and wasteful, it is immoral. Smith's
book is not easy reading. A more recent treatise is: Capitalism
by Prof. George Reisman. We will assign Reisman's text. Consistent socialism is maximum government. We believe consistent capitalism is anarchism,
the absence of government force. Prof. Reisman disagrees with us, but his book will help us prove our point with credibility and impeccable logic.
#4 Track 11. Theocracy.mp3
2:52 Liberty Under God
America became the most prosperous and admired nation in history because it was a nation "Under God."
In short, America was a Christian Theocracy. Today the word "theocracy" conjures up images of Islamic terrorists and mullahs. People think of "theocracy" as a
police state governed by priests. This is inaccurate. The word "theocracy" comes from two Greek words, theos, meaning "God,"
and a Greek word meaning "rule." A theocracy where God rules is a nation "under God." America has
always been known as "one nation Under God," and therefore America has always been a Christian Theocracy. But
there are good theocracies and there are bad ones. A nation can be attempting to be a Christian Theocracy and do a very poor job of it. We do not believe that a good Christian
Theocracy is a police state. We believe a good Christian Theocracy is one where all the priests and princes have resigned and gotten real jobs where they serve others. A
Christian Theocracy seeks to give God all the glory. It's hard to see that God rules when the State claims to be the Messiah. Americans
today have been misled by the myth of "the Separation of Church and State." This mythical idea -- not found anywhere in the Constitution -- has come to mean the
separation of God and State, with God being separated into the private world of fantasy and imagination, and the State having omnipotent
power in public, "the real world."
| In 1892 the United States Supreme Court unanimously declared that America was
"a Christian nation." The Court went back to the discovery of North America by
Columbus, and summarized all the official legal charters and documents that acknowledged our duty to God and created the American Theocracy, the most prosperous
and admired nation in history. |
In 1989 the Court said, "This
Court squarely has rejected the proposition that the First Amendment is to be interpreted in light of
any favoritism for Christianity that may have existed among the Founders of the Republic. "May have?" America is no longer a
nation under God. As a result, America -- once prosperous and admired -- is now bankrupt and despised. |
|
|
The great conflict in Western Civilization today is whether our world will become
| |
an Islamic theocracy, |
| |
an atheistic theocracy (where man thinks he is his own god, but the omnipotent secular State wields total, crushing power), |
| |
or whether America will again be a "City upon a Hill," persuading the world to become a
peaceful, global Christian Theocracy -- the kind described by the Prophet Micah. |
The third reading assignment will be the history of Christian Theocracy and "Western Civilization."
Hundreds
of years before Christ, the prophet Daniel spoke of the first Christmas, Christ's coming
in the days of the Roman Empire. That empire was destroyed, and Christian Theocracy began growing. The Emperor Justinian began Christianizing the Eastern Roman Empire, and in the
West kings like Alfred and Ethelbert made the 10 Commandments the basis of new legal systems. The "Common Law" began, with a
Christian foundation, and eventually found its way into the Constitution of the United States, "a Christian nation." No one book adequately chronicles this history,
so we will read from a number of books that try:  
 
Excerpts
from these books are freely available on the Internet. Only one of the authors agrees with our anarchist conclusions, but their arguments lead to our conclusions if consistently
held.
There are two stories that need to be told:
The first is how Christianity destroyed the slavery and paganism of the
Roman Empire and brought "Liberty Under God," the foundation of "Western Civilization" (476 A.D.- 1517 A.D.).
The second story is the
story of America, and how
Calvinism created America (1517
- 1787)
America apostatized into an atheistic empire (1789 - 2012)
and -- hopefully -- how America repented and became an anarchist-theocracy
(2012 - ????).
To begin this second story, we will assign the reading of the Supreme Court's opinion in the 1892 Decision Holy
Trinity Church vs. The United States and all the historic legal documents cited by the Court.

"governments" are. Where these traits are cultivated and rewarded, "archists" are
unnecessary. top |

In addition to reading the assigned portion of the Bible, you must agree to spend a minimum of 90-180 seconds per day meditating on Godly character traits,
using guidelines we specify, with the goal of developing these traits in your own life. A partial list of required traits appears in the box on the right. Meditating on these
character traits will transform you into an anarchist. No judgments will be made by us as to how successfully you develop or practice these traits in your life. You simply
agree to allow us to brainwash you by listening to our audio meditations.
Even if you lose this bet, you will be allowed to keep these Godly character traits as a free
bonus.
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good;
and what doth the LORD require of thee,
but to do justly, and
to love mercy,
and
to walk humbly with thy God?
Micah 6:8
One of the most popular objections to undertaking the task of abolishing an atheistic
dictatorship by working to persuade archists to repent (resign) is the belief that Christ is going to return "any day now," and "you
don't polish brass on a sinking ship." Christians are soon going to be "raptured," it is believed, so why work against the tyranny of "The New World
Order" or invest energy in a defense of "Liberty Under God?" Those voicing such objections will be assigned an 1876 book entitled The Parousia:
 
This book is simply a catalog of all New Testament prophecies concerning "the second coming." The result of looking at all the evidence will be a "paradigm
shift."
Another parable He put forth to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the
seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.

The Bible promises that if you meditate on God's Commandments (the basis for the character traits you will be studying) you will prosper:
Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn
from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This book of the Law shall not depart
out of thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way
prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:7-8 Therefore
keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
Deuteronomy 29:9 And
keep the charge of the LORD your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the
Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;
1 Kings 2:3 But
his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted
by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose
leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
Psalm

On the other hand, you may lose everything. In our day the "Bill of Rights" means
nothing. You may become the object of government surveillance. The FBI or other government intelligence agencies may open a dossier on you and members of your family. Your
participation and public affiliation with an "anarchist" website may lead to IRS harassment in the form of an audit or other legal inconveniences. You may be deemed an
"enemy combatant." If your job required you to take an oath or sign a statement indicating your support of the U.S.
Constitution, you may lose your job because you visit "anarchist" websites. Your house or place of business may be
searched and your assets "forfeited." You may become targeted
for assassination. We cannot be responsible for these eventualities. You have to make the decision: will you be approved by the government, or will you be approved
by God?

This will be the most exciting year of your life. Then, every subsequent year in your life will be far more valuable than they would have been if you didn't sign up for VFT
Coaching. If you don't spend the next year making the rest of your life valuable, then the rest of your life will make Jesus puke.
- If you're in high school or college, you've been brainwashed into believing that you are now living the most important years of your life, and you shouldn't take time away from
your pursuit of a secular degree, or all the activities (dating, surfing, partying, etc.) of your wonderful life to study, pray, and learn what Americans knew 200 years ago, in
order to play a part in creating a Vine & Fig Tree world.
- If you're middle aged, raising kids, making ends meet, you'll think you don't have time for a Vine & Fig Tree coaching program.
You'll spend the rest of your life spinning your wheels, playing your part in the New World Order, like a cog in a machine.
- If you're 64, you'll be tempted to think your life is spent. Why bother going "back to school?" The most important contributions you will make are ahead of you, and
will help lay the foundation for a Vine & Fig Tree society.
- If you're going to die of cancer in 12 months, think about the concept of the "death bed conversion." A person lives his life in rebellion against God, and then
"converts" moments before death. Is he going to heaven? I would say "yes," on this condition: If God were to give that person 5 additional years of life,
would that person be willing to live every day of that gift-life as an "extremist," obeying God with every ounce of heart, mind, soul and strength? If yes, then it's
probably a genuine conversion. If no, and the person will continue life during those five gift-years as a couch-potato, a party animal, or a political hack, then as one
theologian put it, "hell will be hotter."
- Your next day is a gift.
- Your next year is a gift.
- How will you use this gift?
