FINAL WARNING: Setting the Stage for Destruction
Coffin, a leader in the National Council of Churches.In May, 1969, the WCC recommended that its churches support
violence to overthrow political tyranny and “combat racism.” Since
then, they have been giving financial aid to nearly 46 revolutionary
groups in 17 countries. Some of the groups are communist, while
others had been getting arms from Russia. They gave $125,000 to the
South West Africa People’s Organization in Angola, $65,000 to the
African National Congress in Mozambique (whose leader, Joe Slovo,
was a member of the Communist Party, and a colonel in the Russian
KGB), and $85,000 to Robert Mugabe’s Patriotic Front. After the
takeover of Zimbabwe (formerly known as Rhodesia (named after Cecil
Rhodes, who took over the area in 1897), Mugabe, a well known
communist terrorist, told a delegation from the WCC: “This is the
moment for the forthright acknowledgment of the support from the
World Council of Churches for our struggle.” During the Melbourne
Conference in May, 1980, three Zimbabwe delegates told the assembly:
“Our hard-won victory did not come only through our own
determination. We were sustained and reinforced by the support–
material, oral, and spiritual– accorded to us by the World Council of
Churches, and its member churches.”In 1972, they voted to increase this funding to $1,000,000. Between
1969 and 1979, this Committee, known as the Program to Combat
Racism, had provided an average of $2,600,000 a year. Within a ten-
year period, ending with the Vietnam War in 1975, the WCC gave
millions of dollars to the Vietcong in North Vietnam. One $500,000
grant went towards their “new economic zones.” A $200,000 grant was
provided to four anti-government groups in Africa. Between 1980 and
1985 the WCC gave $362,000 to African National Congress, whose
leader, Nelson Mandela, who had been called a “cold-blooded
communist killer,” a “hard-line communist,” a “Marxist,” and an
“unrepentant terrorist.” By 1992, they had given them over $1.3 million
in grants.Dr. John C. Bennett, a member of the WCC Executive Committee (as
well as a member of the National Council of Churches) said the
following: “Communism is to be seen as an instrument of
modernization of national unification and increasing social welfare.”
